My Weird Life

   Chapter 245 Long (12)

   The next day.

   Morning.

   The strange rhythm scattered among the barren villages has disappeared without a trace.

  Su Wu turned over and climbed up from the haystack,

   went out of the cowshed to check the bowl of rice under the archway.

   A handful of incense sticks in the rice grains have been burnt out, and the ashes of the incense don’t know where to go,

   Anyway, the raw rice in the bowl was not stained with any incense ash.

   He picked up the bowl of rice,

   took a look at the rice grains. Compared with last night, there is no change in appearance.

   But when Su Wu started to measure it, he found that the bowl of rice was lighter.

   That monster ate raw rice?

   Raw rice is also something similar to the offerings of the secret storage area?

   This kind of raw rice that looks like ice particles in the hand, how is it grown?

   Thoughts are spinning in my mind,

  Su Wu put the bowl of raw rice again under the archway.

  —The fat old man only asked him to check whether the raw rice had changed, but did not say that he should take this bowl of rice back.

   Carrying the remaining bowl of raw rice that was supposed to feed the sneaky stage, Su Wu returned along the original road.

   On the way back,

   disappeared the stage floor,

  The Mantou Mountain is gone,

   The morning sun shines on the dirt road,

  The streets are crisscrossed by the roadside, and the wheat sown in early spring has produced tender green and weak seedlings in this particularly cold weather.

  …

   is still the bamboo forest.

   Bamboo forest hides a new big temple,

  In the open space in front of the forest,

   The fat old man pulled a bench,

   sitting on a bench,

The four legs of the    bench were deeply immersed in the soft soil.

   He lit the pipe pot,

   'Da Da, Da Da' took a few sips,

   The dark, fat face was full of exhaustion that could not be concealed.

   The fire in the three-eyed wood stove was still burning,

  The iron pot on the stove is filled with smoking water for brushing the pot,

   Obviously, these three iron pots worked together last night, and I don’t know how many 'passers' they have entertained.

   The fat old man took two puffs of cigarettes,

   raised his head and glanced at the road to the east,

  The road to the east is brightly lit by the sun, and you can see at a glance that there is no half-person at the end of the road.

   Seeing no one, the fat old man frowned, with worry in his eyes.

   "It's already this hour,

  According to common sense, it's time to come back...

  Hey..." He sighed in a low voice,

   put out the smoke pot,

   got up and cleaned the three pots.

   turned back to the bamboo forest,

   After a while,

   He picked up a dog whose skin was peeled and the meat was salted into a dark red color, and walked out of the bamboo forest.

At this moment,

   There is a hunchbacked old man who has brought two seven or eight-year-old children,

   Walked this way from the small village outside the bamboo forest.

  He led the children respectfully in front of the open space, and out of the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but turn to the load of rice grains and vegetables under the table in the open space, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

   The fat old man came back with the dog meat and saw the old man with two children,

   He looked at the children brought by the hunchbacked old man,

  The hunchbacked old man looked over the fat old man,

   looked at the bamboo forest behind the fat old man.

  I didn't see the half-sized boy who came out of the bamboo forest yesterday...

   His heart is calm,

   bowed his hands to the fat old man, smiled all over his face, and said, "Stove Lord..."

   "Hoo!"

   Hearing this title, the fat old man raised his eyebrows and changed color on the spot: "Li Chang is going to break my longevity - Lord Kitchen, is that a title I can bear?!

   Take it back quickly,

   Take it back quickly! "

"what,

  The old man took it back,

  Hey, take it back..." The hunchbacked old man wanted to say something nice and compliment the fat old man.

   Kitchen King Divine Sect has followers all over the place,

  's momentum and Da Ming's teaching - Taoism are not far behind.

   The head of the hunchback also knew about this sect,

   Knowing that the most outstanding cooks in their sect will be called 'Stove Lord'.

   So I wanted to use this title to please the fat old man,

  I didn’t expect this flattery to be shot in the wrong place, and it was shot on the horse’s leg.

  Li Chang was not embarrassed, he still smiled, and pushed the two seven or eight-year-old boys in front of him towards the fat old man, and said, "Master Zhanzao, the boy you sent out last night,

   You haven’t come back yet, have you?

  The old man felt that he probably would not come back.

   So this morning, I brought two more lonely dolls and sent them to worship at your door,

   Anyway, I can eat for a few days. "

  The fat old man heard the Li Chang say that the boy last night probably won't come back.

   has a displeased look on his face,

   But he also knew,

   has come to this hour,

   That boy has not yet been seen,

The chances of    coming back are actually very small.

   That boy last night was really brave,

  To do this kind of thing at home, the most important thing is to be bold and careful.

  Young people, probably only account for the word bold,

   If you were more careful...

   The fat old man felt regret again in his heart,

   is sad again,

   He glanced at the two boys who were sent by the inner chief,

   is a boy and a girl with two children.

   He lowered his eyelids and said, "Actually, the old man always felt that if your village could send one or two more mature men to help me, this matter should have been done long ago.

   Maybe,

   At this time, all your earth temples have been repaired,

The land **** in    has all the internal organs,

   was able to protect you from staying in Wangcun. "

   "Hey, hey..." Li Chang grinned,

   did not respond to the fat old man's suggestion.

  The fat old man looked at the two children again,

   Take another look at the head of Liuwang Village, whose back is more and more curved,

   Feeling a little irritable inside.

   This is the first time he has 'opened a stove' since he became a 'stove master'.

   But before, I followed the master to the south and the north, but I also experienced the situation of opening the stove several times.

  Liuwang Village is a pretty good village among the many villages and market towns that have invited 'stove masters' over to open the stove.

  This village is already doing very well.

   The fat old man asked them to send one or two middle-aged men to deliver rice.

   is really embarrassing them.

after all,

   Every strong man is the pillar of the family. Once the pillar collapses, a family will also collapse.

   But these children who grew up eating hundreds of meals,

   One more mouth is needed,

  Without a few of them, what does it mean to the village?

this is the truth.

   "Master Stove,

  Last night I listened to the big movement from your side,

   But the five elements that fixed the gods? "The headmaster asked the fat old man cautiously.

   mentioning this,

   The fat old man's expression softened a little,

   nodded and said: "The two passers-by are too greedy, but I was lucky enough to seize the opportunity and keep them.

   In a night or two,

   should be able to collect the five elements and five internal organs. "

"very nice,

It's so good..." The smile on Li Chang's face became more sincere, "When we open a temple here, the big guy will be able to live a stable life and be diligent in farming, and the harvest in the fields will be much better... "

   "This day will come sooner or later." The fat old man echoed a few words,

   The chief also knew that he still had a lot of things to do and to prepare,

   did not dare to disturb him too much,

   After a few chats, he left.

   The fat old man looked at the two boys who had been brought over by the headmaster, sighed, and put the dog meat in his hand on the cutting board,

   took the sharp knife,

   While preparing to remove a dog's leg,

   said to the two boys, "Don't be restrained, you all find a place to sit, right?

  Can you have breakfast? "

   "No...no..." The boy looked at the dog meat on the pallet, swallowed, and answered cautiously.

   The virgin opened her mouth,

   did not speak.

"And you,

  Have you had breakfast yet? ' the fat old man asked the virgin.

   The woman shook her head, but still didn't speak.

   The fat old man put down his sharp knife and frowned slightly.

The little boy on the side of    was quite clever, and quickly said, "Grandpa Zhanzao, she has been mute since she was a child and can't speak."

"Hey!

Pitiful…"

   The fat old man looked at the little girl with smart eyes and occasionally bright light, but she couldn't speak, and his heart became more and more heavy.

   He shook his head,

   cut off a hind leg,

   said to the two children, "Since I haven't eaten breakfast, I will stew a dog leg.

  The rice is soaked in dog broth and eaten with dog leg meat.

how? "

   "Okay, okay!" The little boy nodded hastily.

   The little girl's eyes also brightened, and she nodded vigorously.

   "Here I am, I can always ask you to eat a few full meals, good meals." The fat old man did not smile, he put the dog's legs on the cutting board, and carried the remaining half of the dog to hang in the bamboo forest.

However,

   He just turned around,

   subconsciously glanced at the east road,

   Immediately saw a figure with a food basket collapsed, carrying a long-extinguished lantern, striding towards him!

   "This boar!"

   Seeing the thin young man rushing towards him,

   The fat old man was stunned,

   then cursed with a dark face,

   turned back to the cutting board,

   cut another dog leg,

   couldn't help but laugh.

   "Master,

I am back! "

'Youth' Su Wu walked into the open space, put down the food basket, glanced at the two boys who were sitting on the bench, carefully looked at his two boys, turned his eyes away, and greeted the fat old man who had his back turned to him. road.

   "What are you coming back for?

   I thought you were dead outside! The fat old man raised his head and glanced at him, and his face suddenly turned darker, "Are you really too daring?

  Where did you run to take a bath?

   Washed in the river, right?

  Fortunately, you were lucky and didn't touch the river drifter,

   When you touch the river drifter, don't want your life! "

   The fat old man could see it at a glance,

  Su Wu's face was much whiter,

  The skin leaking out of the holes in the clothes is also white and pure,

   It is so natural to understand that the other party must have found a place to take a bath halfway, and only came back at this hour!

  Su Wu was reprimanded by the fat old man,

   is not bothered.

   smiled and said: "There are too many lice on my body, I found a small ditch to wash, but did not dare to go into the big river?

   master,

  What is a river drifter?

Is    also a trick?

  When I went to Tanjia Village last night, I passed by Mantou Mountain - Mantou Mountain is full of houses and people live in the houses. Fortunately, I remembered the master's instructions, and I reacted at once.

   run while throwing rice,

   Only then ran out of Mantou Mountain.

   I didn't encounter anything strange on the stage floor.

  When we arrived at Tanjia Village…”

  Su Wu told the truth about his own experience,

   is like this kind of teacher's inheritance,

   Mostly because the doorman is illiterate,

  A lot of knowledge and secrets can only be passed on by word of mouth,

  If there are generations in the middle, those lineages are also cut off.

  Su told the fat old man about his experience in the afternoon, hoping to enrich the other party's knowledge, so that the other party could save this information and pass it on to future generations.
