Chapter 71: The Village of Apricot Blossoms (22)

Su Dui didn't sleep soundly this night, and after only a week in this world, he had experienced so many things, which made his thoughts become a little confused.

He always dreamed of all kinds of messy things all night, he dreamed that he and the five children in Taiping County were playing hide and seek, and he also dreamed that the bandits in Wang Batian's cottage who were killed by him came to ask him for his life, and then dreamed that Xiaoxing came to ask about her father.

Su Du woke up from her sleep and touched her forehead, which was covered in cold sweat. So he got up in bed and washed his face with cool water in a wooden basin to sober himself up.

After tidying up, Su Duan went out of the guest room to take a look, at this time the sun had moved to the western sky, it seemed that it had reached the time of Shen, Liu Ruyun, Liu Rushi and Mu Yun were already sitting in the main room drinking tea and chatting, it seemed that they were resting well.

Su Du then entered the main room to greet everyone, and Liu Rushi saw him come in and asked, "Are you awake, are you resting well?"

Su Duan was about to answer her, but Mu Yun on the side interjected again: "Big villain! I didn't expect you to be both a nasty ghost and a big lazy worm!"

When Su Dui heard her say this, she turned around and left the main house without looking back, and Liu Rushi saw him leaving, so she hurriedly asked, "Su Dui, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Xiao Xing's father!" Su Du replied angrily, and Liu Rushi followed.

Liu Ruyun saw that her junior sister was playing petty again, so she reprimanded her: "What I told you last night, did you forget in a blink of an eye? He didn't provoke you this time, why did you scold people when you opened your mouth?"

"I'm just joking with him, who knew he couldn't afford to joke like this!" Mu Yun turned his face to sulk, looking at her like that, people who didn't know thought she was a victim.

Leaving the main house, Su Du and Liu Rushi went straight to the bedroom where Xiao Xing's father rested. As soon as she entered, she found Xiao Xing sitting on the edge of the bed taking care of her father, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she immediately asked, "Brother and sister, what's wrong with my father, why did he become like this?"

Su didn't know how to answer for a while, so he was stunned there, Liu Rushi saw that he was in trouble, so she hurriedly said to Xiao Xing: "Oh, that's the case, your father hasn't eaten for three days and three nights, so he has been starved like this, as long as he can eat well these days, he can change back to his original appearance." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Xing said happily: "That's great! Grandpa and my mother have already gone to prepare dinner, and they said that tonight's meal is rich, not only chicken, duck but also beef, I have never eaten beef before!"

Su Du didn't have the heart to eat at this time, he hurriedly looked at the little apricot and her father who was lying on the bed. It seems that the soul condensation dew is really a panacea, Xiao Xing's father is already sober at this time, he tried to open his eyelids, the corners of his mouth twitched, he wanted to get up and thank the benefactor in front of him, but his body did not obey. Su Du then motioned for him to lie down and rest, and although he was still speechless, he smiled hard to show his gratitude.

Xiao Xing's father still needs to rest, Su Du and Liu Rushi feel that it is inconvenient to disturb, so they retreat from the house, and before going out, Su Du gave Xiao Xing a few osmanthus cakes, telling her not to worry.

After coming out of the house, he remembered what Xiao Xing had just said, so he asked Liu Rushi, "Where did Xiao Xing's mother and the village chief go?"

Liu Rushi replied to him: "I don't know much about this, I only woke up an hour ago, they only settled us here to drink tea and rest, and then went out to work, even the matter of tonight's banquet was just heard from Xiao Xing." ”

Su Du likes to eat beef, but it also depends on the situation, cattle have always been an important labor force, and it is even more important in this sparsely populated village, not to mention that two young and strong young men have just died in this village, how can Su Du be embarrassed to ask them to break the bank again.

Su Du then went out of the courtyard to look for the village chief, and saw a group of people gathered around and doing something. Su Duan approached to take a closer look, and it turned out that this group of people were busy tying up a cow, and the village chief was sharpening his knife on the side.

When Su Du saw this, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed the village chief's hand and said, "Village chief!

The village chief then stood up and held his hand and said: "What's so reluctant about this, you have removed a big harm for our Xinghua Village, and also rescued my son-in-law, we can't burn high incense for you, and a cow is nothing." ”

"Don't, don't, it's too expensive, it's too much to do!" said Su Dui as she stopped the people who were tying up the cows. He felt that he had not saved the other two villagers, and that he was too late to feel guilty, so why was he embarrassed to eat their beef.

The timid villager who was almost captured last night was also here to help, and when he saw Su Dui's resignation, he immediately persuaded: "This bengong, you don't want to resign! If it weren't for you, I would have been captured by that monster a long time ago, and it would be impossible for me to stand here and talk to you." ”

The middle-aged man holding the hemp rope on the side also persuaded: "This little brother, I know what you're worried about, but don't worry! Don't look at the small size of our Xinghua Village, but our village can earn a lot of money all year round by selling apricot blossom wine and apricot blossom tea and other things, and this cow is really not a big deal." ”

An old man on crutches next to him also spoke: "Young man, we also kill cattle to get rid of bad luck, not only to kill cows, but also to kill pigs and sheep, so you can go back and have a good rest, and just eat at night." ”

After saying that, he pointed to the ground next to him, Su Du looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a sheep on the ground, the skin had been peeled, and a pig next to it had already been disemboweled.

Su Du sighed, so he didn't shirk anymore, exchanged a few words with the surrounding villagers, and went to visit the villagers who were holding the funeral.

Su Du first went to visit Old Man Liu's family, only to see that all the things that should be Zhang Luo were ready, Su Du entered the house, and saw a ten-year-old boy kneeling in front of the spirit wearing linen and filial piety. When he saw Su Du coming, he immediately kowtowed, and Su Du also bent down to salute, and then came to the spirit and burned some paper money to comfort the dead soul.

Old man Liu saw Su Du coming, so he immediately welcomed him to the house, Su Du could see the sadness in his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to chat with him.

It turned out that the old man Liu only had a son, and he had been doted on him since he was a child, and when he learned of his son's death this morning, he felt that the sky was about to fall, but fortunately, his son already had a family before his death, and the one who wore filial piety in front of the spirit was the grandson of the old man Liu, and the incense of the Liu family was not broken.
