Song Dongmei followed her father in frustration. The dew on the grass blades on the roadside quickly wet her trouser legs.
It was too early, so the two of them went to have breakfast on the street.
Each person ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
The noodle soup uses fresh bone broth that has been simmered for several hours.
Genuine pork bones.
It's not the soups mixed with various powders in later generations.
A few fresh vines were pressed into the soup base, and two drops of sesame oil were added. A large bowl full of rice, rice noodles, and rice noodles made Song Dongmei sweat on her face.
So. So delicious!
I couldn't help but think, 'If I can eat such delicious vegetarian noodles with my father when collecting pigs, it would be good to help at home.'
After the two of them finished eating, Song Shi paid the bill and left.
Little did he know that after they left, news in the town that Song Dongmei was dropping out of school quickly spread to every corner, and the evidence was conclusive.
After all, they all went to the countryside with Song Laosan. Isn't this obvious enough?
And the other side.
Rumors of a ghost in a certain alley also spread.
That alley is already gloomy, and there are two companies in the middle that sell wreaths, fire paper, coffins, and carve tombstones. Normally, you can usually go there without going there, and you would rather take the long way around.
It's good now. Thanks to Uncle Chen's vigorous publicity, it has been hammered down.
"I heard it with my own ears. People sleep less as they get older. There are always footsteps coming and going in the middle of the night. Who would have thought it was that one? It's just a hundred meters in an alley. Even if you're drunk, it stands to reason that you can't sleep with your eyes closed. Being able to walk through it, a straight alley without having to turn, I think they are really in trouble!"
"Oh, you are wrong. You don't even think about who lives around that alley. Young Wu died unjustly!"
"That's true, after he died, his wife remarried immediately. Who didn't know that those two people had been involved for a long time? Now the stumbling block is gone, and a house is in vain. If I were Wu Laoyao, I would still have to live with him even if he died. Crawled out of the soil and strangled those dogs, man and woman to death!"
"You remember the old lady who died not long ago? She was so skinny when she was placed in the coffin. They said her daughter-in-law starved to death because she didn't have enough food to eat!"
It spreads more and more fiercely.
Someone went directly to Li Qiang's house to ask.
Li Qiang: ".Ahem!"
Lying on the bed, my whole body was weak, I coughed from time to time, and my face looked tired.
I drank wine the day before yesterday and slept on the floor all night.
Alternating heat and cold in the body.
Of course he had a bad cold, and the sun was blazing outside. He couldn't go to the countryside to collect pigs until he got better. Otherwise, with a bad cold and heat stroke, did he think his life was too long?
I was bored when someone came to visit me. Of course I was very welcome.
As soon as I heard what they asked, I immediately became energetic.
This is exclusive news that only belongs to him.
"How did you enter that alley? I don't know. I have no memory at all. Anyway, in my memory, it was very dark and the alley was very long. Who in Yuelai Town doesn't know how long the alley is, but I can't walk there. At the end, there are walls everywhere. When I turn a corner, there is a wall. But when I take a closer look, there are no walls at all. Look at my forehead, this, my head, here, I bumped into several things, causing my nose and face to be bruised and swollen. .This is nothing.”
Speaking of this, he looked left and right like a mouse and lowered his voice, "I was even caught by a ghost."
"What!"
"Really or not? Are you just telling nonsense?"
"That's right, how could you still survive if you were caught by that thing? It didn't take you directly to the Palace of Hell."
I don’t even believe it.
"Er!" Li Qiang stared, "I remember very clearly, that hand was cold, like a cattail leaf fan, wet and sticky. The moment I was grabbed, I felt like I was being stared at by a poisonous snake. It was very dark and there was no moon. I I couldn't see anything clearly, but I was very clear that there was something else in the alley, and that thing was very close to me. The moment I passed out, I clearly felt the sound of rapid breathing in my ears."
As for why the ghost didn't eat him, he wasn't a ghost, so how did he know!
Li Qiang said it clearly.
People who went back after hearing the story began to dig into the details.
Ghost claws are very wet
There is no doubt that it is a water ghost.
But the palms look like cattail leaf fans. To tell the truth, people die in the Yuelai River every year. After so many years, no one knows how many ghosts there are in the river looking for a substitute. Those with big hands
For a time, the residents of Yuelai Town set off a wave of detectives.
Everyone feels that they are digging for the truth.
The roads in the country are not easy to walk. In addition to the dew, there are also snakes that come out early to enjoy the cool weather.
Song Dongmei followed Song Shi shrinkingly.
The previous wavering caused by the vegetarian powder has long since disappeared.
If you collect pigs, you will encounter so many snakes.
She is most afraid of snakes!
No one is afraid of snakes!
No, her dad is not afraid, the snake is afraid of her dad.
The original scum is used to walking around. They know which family has pigs, which family has pigs, which family has grown big, which family is easy to talk to, which family likes to underprice.
The two first arrived outside a house with earth walls belonging to Team 4 of Yuejian Village.
There is no courtyard wall.
In the grapefruit tree next to the house, a big yellow dog was resting with its eyes closed. It was very alert. When it heard any movement, its ears stood up involuntarily. It only took two seconds to go from lying down to arching its back and barking outside.
Song Dongmei hid timidly behind Song Shi, too scared to move.
She once again made up her mind to ask her father to let her study no matter what.
She doesn’t want to take in the pig!
She doesn't want to go to the country!
She doesn't want to walk around the streets!
She is no longer greedy for steamed buns and rice noodles!
She hates dogs!
Woo woo
The dog wanted to rush over and grind its teeth, but an iron chain restricted its freedom.
The people in the room came out with bowls, obviously having breakfast, and greeted him when they saw him coming.
Song Shi also smiled and exchanged greetings.
The owner took him to the pigsty to see the pigs.
Negotiate the price while looking at it.
One person said that the pigs like mine are raised on whatever they eat, and their meat is delicious, so they came to ask so and so in an attempt to raise the price.
One party said that your pig doesn't look big enough, and the price of fresh pigs has dropped recently, in an attempt to lower the price.
The two of them went back and forth around the pig pen until the end, but they couldn't reach an agreement.
Song Shi left home with his cheap daughter.
When you are thirsty, drink the tea you brought with you.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the morning that the two men drove the two pigs on the road.
Song Dongmei was holding a mulberry branch in her hand. When she saw the pig was about to walk aside, she quickly slapped it on the pig's butt. The pig was frightened and screamed several times. Song Dongmei rushed over to block the pig's way, saying something in her mouth. Shouting: "Hurry over there! Go over there!"
It’s strange that pigs can understand human speech.
Song Shi came over and made the pig obedient within a few seconds.
Song Dongmei wiped the sweat from her forehead. Sure enough, ginger is still hotter than ever. The old saying is true.
It turns out that every time my father goes to the countryside to collect pigs, he always looks like this.
The father and daughter did not drive the pigs home until after one o'clock in the afternoon.
Then he drove the pigs into the pigsty.
The two men, covered in stinking sweat, only washed their faces and then wolfed down their lunch.
Take a shower and take a nap.
Tomorrow is the day of the show.
In the evening, Song Shi sharpened his knife and planned to kill the pig in the early morning.
There is a freezer at home.
As a senior pork guy, it’s impossible for me to stop doing business when the weather gets hot, but the electricity bill is really expensive.
Killing pigs in the early morning.
The pork is incredibly fresh.
If it can be sold out the next day, there is no need for a freezer.
So at around two o'clock in the middle of the night, Song Dongmei was forcibly shaken awake again.
"Get up! The pig is being killed!"
The drowsy girl of Song Dynasty said:
She really didn't know that killing such a man as a pig had anything to do with a twelve-year-old girl like her!
On the line between life and death, can the pig kick her away?
About to collapse.
But the good thing is that this time it was not just her, but the second sister was also called out.
Song Chunyu stared blankly: Pig? What pig?
