Yang Huazhong nodded and asked another village elder the next question: "In our opinion, if there are really ghosts in this world, what do ghosts eat?"
The village elder said without hesitation: "Why don't you ask? The offerings from the family's descendants, ingot candles and so on..."
"However, I also heard," the third village elder started talking without asking any questions: "I heard that ghosts can't eat with their mouths like us living people, and then pull it out of their buttholes. Ghosts eat. It’s all based on smell!”
Yang Huazhong nodded, "That's right. So, let's go back and think about the lost food in our village. Do you think it was done by ghosts? Or was it done by someone pretending to be a ghost?"
"Pretended by humans!"
"What dogs say is that they are neither humans nor ghosts. They will do things that are not worthy of publicity!"
Yang Huazhong was very satisfied because he finally changed everyone's thinking.
Although the villagers outside were still passing various weird versions to each other, he only needed to firmly grasp the thoughts of the village elders and the patrolling men.
"Everyone should work harder these days and be more prepared at night. As long as it is done by humans, it will definitely show up. Let's wait patiently! Spend time with him!"
After the show, on the way home, Blacksmith Luo gave Yang Huazhong a thumbs up and said, "Lao San, you are doing a good job here. You have a way of talking and you know how to attack people's hearts!"
Yang Huazhong looked at Blacksmith Luo in confusion, and Blacksmith Luo continued: "I saw a few men in the inspection team who were scared and wanted to give up and not make the money. After you said that, they probably gave up their minds. .”
So that’s what I was talking about... Yang Huazhong smiled, shook his head and said: "I was forced too. There must be someone under me to do the work, otherwise we two brothers would be mere commanders!"
A bare-bones commander?
Blacksmith Luo was familiar with this word, because Baby Luo had mentioned it before.
As for why Luo Baobao talks about this new word?
Of course it has something to do with her mother Yang Ruoqing!
"By the way, Third Brother, why didn't you tell them before that there was something strange happening underground? Did you forget about it?" Blacksmith Luo suddenly asked again.
Yang Huazhong paused, looked around, and said to Blacksmith Luo in a low voice: "I didn't forget, I did that on purpose."
Blacksmith Luo's eyes were full of question marks.
Yang Huazhong added: "I don't want to make this matter public at the moment. I will observe it for a few more days. Once I tell them, if there is something underneath, wouldn't it be enough to scare the snake away?"
"Besides, if we rashly lead people to dig now, no one will know what's underneath. I still want to wait until Qing'er and Tang Yaozi come back to see what happens!"
Blacksmith Luo thought about it and thought it made sense.
We still don’t know the depth of this matter. Who knows what is under the ground. The people in the village are ordinary villagers. It would be bad if there is an accident that cannot be dealt with.
…
Although Yang Huazhong specifically told Hei Feng not to go outside and talk about the theft last night, the news inevitably spread throughout the village.
Maybe Heifeng didn't listen to his instructions at all.
Maybe it was the village elder and the men on patrol who told it. In short, the whole village soon knew about it, and the piece of paper money became the most terrifying part.
No, Liu, an activist in the village, heard the news and rushed to Yang Huazhong's house to inquire about the situation face to face.
Yang Huazhong went back to the house to catch up on his sleep. He stayed up all night last night and couldn't bear it. After all, he was over fifty years old. The words "young and strong" and "young and powerful" had long since left him.
Of course, even if he hadn't slept, he wouldn't have discussed the Heifeng family's affairs with Mrs. Liu.
Therefore, when Mrs. Liu came to Yang Huazhong's house, it was Mrs. Sun who received her.
"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, is what happened last night true? That ghost stole half a bowl of braised pork from Heifeng's house and left a piece of paper money?"
"Tsk, tsk, this world is interesting. If a ghost doesn't steal anything, he uses the money to buy braised pork. Wait, why did the ghost go to Daniel's house, Uncle Jiang, and Mrs. Cheng's house to steal things? Why don't you give me money? Is it just a matter of co-authoring this?"
Sun shook her head gently, "I don't know, but your third brother asked us to stop talking about this matter."
Ms. Liu defended: "This is not what I want to discuss. Now people are talking about it outside. It's flying all over the sky!"
Mrs. Sun smiled bitterly, "That's other people's business. We have nothing to do with it. We just mind our own mouths."
Mrs. Liu then curled her lips, thought for a while, and then said, "Hei Feng came to us yesterday to talk about this and that, but it was stolen at night. Sister-in-law, do you think this is a coincidence?"
"Third sister-in-law, I know why that ghost went to steal Heifeng's house."
After taking a few sips of tea, Mr. Liu put down the tea bowl and suddenly said again.
Mrs. Sun wanted to stop her and tell her not to say it was ghosts who stole it, but Mrs. Liu's bait was a bit big, which made Mrs. Sun temporarily put aside the restraint and only asked her: "Then why did you say you wanted to go there?" What about stealing from Hei Feng’s house?”
Mrs. Liu smiled proudly and said, "That's needless to say. It must be because Heifeng is a woman at home and has a lot of yin energy. And her family runs a grocery store. She has a little money and a lot of food, so she was targeted. .”
Ms. Liu smacked her lips and then continued her analysis: "As for why the paper money was put in, it should be because Heifeng is a shrewd woman with a bad mouth. He was afraid that he would be scolded by her if he stole her things and refused to put the money..."
Mrs. Sun listened seriously, thinking she could hear something famous, but she didn't expect to feel lonely after hearing it.
"Fourth brother and sister, you'd better say these words as little as possible." Mrs. Sun stood up and patted the dust on her trouser legs.
"Let your third brother sleep for a while. I'm going to the Luo family next door to take care of the children. Fourth brother and sister, you can also go and do your work!"
After saying this, Mrs. Sun stood up and walked out. Mrs. Liu immediately put down her tea bowl and followed her, "I'll go with you. I just want to see Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan too."
…
Lao Wang's family.
Yang Huamei made minced meat porridge for her eldest grandson today.
When buying meat, I bought three kilograms of pork belly. Yang Huamei took half a kilogram of lean meat and chopped it into minced meat. The remaining two and a half kilograms of pork belly were braised in a pot with potatoes and radishes.
It was cooked until it was soft and soft. I put a bowl in a rice bowl and sent it to Wang Hongquan in the backyard. I put a bowl in an open ocean bowl and brought it to Mrs. Tan.
"Mom, you eat."
"Ah, so much meat for me to eat alone?" Tan was surprised.
Yang Huamei said with a smile: "You help me every day, but I'm tired and thin. Eat a few more pieces of meat to replenish your body."
Mrs. Tan hummed, "Even if you have a conscience, you still know how to feel sorry for your mother and me!"
Yang Huamei smiled, "Look what you said, mother, you are my mother, how can I not know that you are good to me? You are only allowed to feel sorry for me, but I am not allowed to repay you in return?"
Mrs. Tan was still humming, her eyes and brows filled with relief and joy.
This girl's pain is not in vain!
