Chapter 25: The Offering Was Really Eaten by the Spirits
"Lu Stinky Bean! What are you doing with the? ”
Lu Shishi roared.
With that, he lifted the person up, took off his pants, and prepared to spank Stinky Bean's ass.
Stinky Bean was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Dad, this date soup is bitter, it's really bitter!" ”
But no one at the table believed the stinky beans, how could the date soup be bitter?
This kid must be talking nonsense, it's just a fight!
"Smack! Syllable! ”
Lu Shishi's two bright red slap prints fell on Stinky Bean's buttocks, and the stinky Beans screamed in pain.
At this moment, the second girl took a sip of date soup, and she looked embarrassed.
The moment she looked up, she just met the rotten egg: Is the date soup really bitter?
The same is true of Yaya and Wangcai after drinking, although the adults do not believe it, it is impossible for the five children to lie together.
Lu Shishi picked up the bowl of jujube soup with stinky beans just now and drank it, and everyone looked at him, only to see Lu Shishi twisting his eyebrows.
"Daddy Stinky Bean, how's it going?" Xia asked.
"Bitter."
Everyone was in an uproar, and they picked up the date soup in the children's bowls, and found that it was really bitter.
Stinky Bean was very aggrieved, he said it was bitter, and everyone didn't believe him......
Chen Xiuhua was puzzled, how could it be bitter?
"Sister, could it be that the dates I bought today are fake?" Chen Tiezhu said.
Chen Xiuhua gritted her teeth and scolded: "Black-hearted shop, I'll go to him this afternoon!" ”
The eldest son Lu Liangtong and the second son Lu Shishi immediately echoed: "Mother, let's go with you!" ”
"Let's eat first, everyone is hungry." Village Chief Lu said.
In addition to dates, there were meat, potato flour, tofu and other vegetables, and as for the bowl of rice, everyone shared a chopstick to taste.
Although the Lu family is the village chief's family, they only eat brown rice on weekdays, but today it is rare to have a mouthful of rice, and everyone is very happy.
It's just that, immediately after, everyone is embarrassed, and this rice is like chewing wax in the mouth.
There is also meat, potato flour, and tofu that are so unpalatable.
"Phew!"
Stinky Bean quickly spit out the meat in his mouth, and he was about to cry.
It's rare to have a good meal at home, why is it so unpalatable?
"Grandma, did you buy fake meat?" Stinky Bean asked.
Chen Xiuhua was confused, how could the meat be fake?
Chen Xiuhua wondered in her heart: Could it be that her cooking skills have regressed?
At this moment, Chen Wangcai took a pair of chopsticks to stir-fry cowpeas and found it delicious!
Everyone also went to pick cowpeas, and the taste was a must.
In the end, everyone found that only the meat, dates, potato flour, tofu, and rice were bitter and unpalatable, and the others were delicious.
“???”
Everyone looked at each other, what's going on?
Suddenly, Chen Xiuhua patted her head and said excitedly: "Could it be that she has been eaten by Lord Worm God?"
I heard that things that have been eaten by ghosts and gods, although the surface has not changed, people taste the same as chewing wax after eating them! ”
"Isn't that what we just tasted like?" Xia Shi Dao.
Lu Shugen's eyes trembled when he heard this, it was not that the family had never eaten the food after the sacrifice before, but there was no time that the taste was the same as chewing wax, only this time!
In other words, the insect god is about to manifest?
Lu Shugen stood up abruptly and said, "I've thought of a way to save the crops!" ”
At the entrance of the village, there were people standing in front of the persimmon tree, and Qiao Ruyue and Qiao Xiaoxi were also standing among them.
At this time, everyone has just finished lunch, and on a hot day, they should be lying at home for lunch, and they are standing at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun.
Some people whispered about what the village chief asked everyone to do?
Some speculate that something big is happening?
"Village Chief, what are you doing when you summoned everyone here? What's the other thing you can't wait for the weather to cool down? ”
Li Silly shouted at Village Chief Lu.
"This matter cannot be delayed, and there is no waiting moment."
Hearing this, everyone's irritable mood calmed down a lot, but Li Silly still didn't give up.
"Then you mean, hot people!"
Village Chief Lu glanced at Li Silly: "This matter concerns everyone in the village, and we must wait for everyone to come and talk about it." ”
Village Chief Lu looked at the crowd and confirmed whether all the 120 households had come.
Although Li Silly is a scoundrel on weekdays, when he heard that it was related to him, he quickly shut up.
After everyone arrived, Village Chief Lu opened his mouth to tell the ins and outs of the matter.
As soon as everyone heard that there was a locust plague in Jingfang County, they all showed horror on their faces, knelt down with their hands folded and prayed:
"Lord Insect God, please calm your anger and bless me with a bumper harvest in Quanyin Village, and you must not send locusts to Quanyin Village."
After that, he even kowtowed.
In the village, except for the children who were too young and had no impression of the locust plague three years ago, Qiao Ruyue did not kneel alone.
The people of the village regarded the locusts as gods, and even built a temple for the locusts, offering a stone statue of a human locust head, named the insect god.
They thought that the locust plague was caused by the anger of the insect god, so they knelt down and begged one by one.
What they don't know is that in the 21st century, locusts are used as food, especially at barbecue stands, which are very popular and skewered into skewers.
Except for Qiao Ruyue, everyone else in the village has fields, and they are all frightened.
The locust plague three years ago is still vividly remembered.
The locusts were like a black tornado, sweeping away, and the fields were not harvested!
"Jingfang County is next door to our Qing'an County, doesn't that mean that the locust plague is about to come to our village?"
"Then cut the wheat, and when the locusts come, there will be nothing!"
At this time, Li Silly said: "Qing'an County is so big, what if the locust plague doesn't pass through our Quanyin Village?" Won't the wheat be harvested in vain? ”
Hearing this, many people felt that Li Duda made sense.
Now is the critical period of wheat, there are still ten days to reach the ripening stage, if you cut it, you will lose at least half of the harvest!
"Li Silly, if you don't cut it now, when the locust plague really comes, it's too late for you to cry!" Mrs. Ding said.
"Folks, there are already locusts in the wheat field, but there are not many of them, only a few, I think it is the insect god who has appeared and is bless my Quanyin Village.
Today, my mother-in-law went to the insect god temple to worship and found that the insect god had actually eaten offerings.
The food is brought back, although it doesn't look like anything on the outside, but it is like chewing wax in the mouth! ”
Qiao Ruyue frowned: The taste is the same as chewing wax?
The more he talked, the more excited Village Chief Lu became, and everyone also heard hope, the insect god appeared!!
"Village chief, I'm going to buy some vegetables and go to the Worm God Temple to worship!"
"I'll go too!"
"Although I can't afford to buy food, I can go and put incense on the insect god and ask it to bless our Quanyin Village!"
Soon, everyone dispersed, some went directly to the town to buy food, and some went home to get money.
Qiao Ruyue's eyebrows furrowed into a twist, and Village Chief Lu saw that she was still standing in place, so he persuaded:
"Xiaoxi Niang, you take Xiaoxi to incense and kowtow to the insect god!
Although you don't have any land, if the locusts come, I'm afraid that the crops in the entire Jianjin Town will be eaten up, and when the time comes, the price of grain will rise, and it will be expensive for you to buy grain. ”
Qiao Ruyue didn't answer, but asked, "Village Chief, the food that my aunt brought back from the Insect God Temple today really tastes like chewing wax?" ”
Village Chief Lu thought that Qiao Ruyue didn't believe his words, so he patted his chest and said, "Our family of nine and Tiezhu's family of three can all testify!" ”
Qiao Ruyue's pupils shrank sharply, and the offerings were really eaten by ghosts!!
