The old cow's chopped bones and cut beef were all put into the wood pot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Three cauldrons were steaming.

At the long table, Seventh Grandma and Grandpa Wu all stretched their necks and swallowed saliva at the boiling wood pot.

The people in the village, in addition to worshiping the ancestors at the end of the year and the gods in the spring and autumn, can follow the light and share some meat to eat. On weekdays, you don't touch the oil at all. Even if the livestock offerings left over from the sacrificial ceremony were divided among the whole village, there were not many that could be eaten in their mouths.

So seeing that such a big cow body still exudes an attractive meat fragrance after being struck by a thunderbolt, how can I be willing to bury it directly.

Niu Er understood this truth, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and squatted alone on the side and was sad.

Either way, I won't eat it.

I can't put my mind on it, and I can't talk about it!

The village chief lifted the lid of the pot, and just scooped a spoonful of soup to try the saltiness, and the pottery bowls couldn't wait to squeeze in front of the village chief.

The village chief threw down the wooden spoon, fished out the half-cooked pieces of meat from the pot, and put them into the clay bowls.

The feast began.

No one cared about Niu Er's feelings at all, and no one shouted Niu Er to give him a place.

Niu Er looked at the long table in a daze, and the seventh grandmother fished out a piece of beef from the clay pot with her bare hands, opened her mouth with a few teeth left, and bit it down fiercely.

The old cattle who have lived for more than 20 years have cut off pieces of meat that have only been simply boiled in a wood pot. The fist-sized piece of meat is old and hard.

Niu Er couldn't help but be a little worried, afraid that Seventh Grandma would have a few teeth left, and she wouldn't give it away for a piece of beef that couldn't be bitten.

The dogs in the village wagged their tails excitedly and ran around under the long table, picking up the soup that the villagers had accidentally spilled.

The village chief walked towards Niu Er.

Seeing the village chief, Niu Er stood up, still carrying a skull with a cow's horn in his hand.

The village chief took the skull and fiddled with it in his hand, and let out a long sigh. Said:

"When the old scalper was just brought back to our village, I was as old as you. For the first few years, I led the way up the mountain to graze. It's been more than 20 years. ”

Looking at Niu Er, the village chief continued:

"The old cattle have worked hard in our village all their lives, plowing the fields and farming, which is hard enough. It can be regarded as a great contribution to our village. The old people in the village discussed, asked someone to make a spiritual tablet, sent it to the ancestral hall, and offered incense every day. ”

"Really?"

Niu Er was a little unconvinced and looked at the village chief. The village chief nodded.

"I know that you and the old scalper are like family again and again, day and night. You can't be too sad about this. It was God who was compassionate to a lifetime of hard work and took it to heaven to enjoy it. The old scalper sympathized with the villagers in the village, and did not forget to leave a pair of bodies before leaving, so as to moisten the stomachs of the villagers. The benefits of the old scalper will not be forgotten by the villagers. ”

Niu Er turned his head to look at the villagers who were eating hotly in the drying field, one by one, with their eyebrows on their heads, tasting what the village chief said.

Or maybe it's the village chief.

Otherwise, you'll have to ask the village chief about everything.

The level of the village chief is not ordinarily high.

Niu Er felt that God was blind, and a thunderbolt on a sunny day missed and killed the old cattle in the village.

What made Niu Er even more puzzled was that the village chief also organized the villagers of the whole village to set up a firewood pot to stew the old cattle.

Looking at the people in the village, agitating their cheeks one by one, chewing the old cattle who couldn't chew in their mouths, Niu Er felt panicked in his heart.

Who among you hasn't reaped the benefits of an old scalper?

I have worked hard for you all my life, and you are not grateful or thankful, and you even eat the old cattle.

If you eat the old cattle, you are not afraid of running away!

But the village chief can see the doorway here, and he can see that God is grateful for the hard work of the old cow, and the hard work is high, so that it can go to heaven to enjoy happiness.

Why do you want to split thunder?

Catastrophe!

There are all in the play, and the animal spirit that has won the fairy road has to cross the catastrophe to fly to the immortal.

Niu Er looked at the village chief and couldn't help nodding his head vigorously.

These words were said by the village chief, and when I thought about it again, I immediately felt that there was something unspeakable all over my body, right!

The old scalper left a body and oiled the stomach and intestines of the villagers, and no one should remember it.

Niu Er was suddenly enlightened by the village chief's eyes, and he couldn't help but be hungry, and he also wanted to get wet and drop a piece of meat or something.

The village chief's face was still full of sorrow. Said to Niu Er:

"Erdan, while it's still too late, you can run. ”

Niu Er was unprepared and asked:

"What's wrong with me, village chief. What am I running?"

The village chief said:

"The cattle in the village died, and the matter should be reported to the county government yamen. The yamen was to send someone to investigate the cause of death. Whether we are struck to death by lightning or fall down a hill, we must be punished for the sin of poor shepherding. The cattle will be pulled back to the county government yamen. You will also be pulled back to the county government yamen. The cow was pulled back, and the old men of the county government yamen shared it. As for you, tattoo a word on your face, and sentence you to exile to other state capitals and use it as hard labor. Don't think about being free again for the rest of your life. ”

Niu Er was taken aback and looked at the village chief.

The village chief is definitely not scaring Niu Er.

And it's not funny.

Niu Er hurriedly explained:

"Village chief, the old scalper was really killed by thunder, you also saw it. It's really not my fault. No matter how good I am, I can't control God's thunder!"

The village chief nodded and said:

"I know that the old people in the village have seen it too. The death of the old scalper is indeed none of your business. But the officials of the county government yamen don't care, they just want to arrest people and go back to the errands. The villagers can't bear to let you be taken away by the officials, and the old scalper has a spirit in the sky, and they can't bear to let you become a prisoner for it. So, while it's still too late, run quickly. How far can you run, how far you can run. ”

Niu Er looked at the village chief.

Then can't you talk to the official master?

And the old people in the village.

They are all a lot of old people, and those officials will listen to what they say.

Will it?

Niu Er didn't know. Niu Er estimated that the village chief didn't know either.

That's why the village chief was willing to take the risk and let Niu Er go.

Niu Er believed the village chief.

The village chief is knowledgeable and has more ideas. You can't go wrong with a decision that you make.

The old scalper died, and the county government yamen pulled it back, and it was also shared. And those officials and old men ate the old cattle, and they didn't say that the old cattle were good, but they had to scold and say that the meat of the old cattle was old and hard to stuff their teeth.

Therefore, it is better to leave it to the people in the village to fight tooth sacrifices!

As for Niu Er's life or death, those officials don't care even more. As the village chief said, they don't ask for reasons, they just want to make errands.

Niu Er nodded at the village chief and said:

"Okay, I'll listen to the village chief. ”

The village chief took out a burden and handed it to Niu Er, patted Niu Er's shoulder and said:

"Then take advantage of the fact that it is not dark and leave quickly!"
