178. Night vigil at the ancestral hall(1/2)
But the boiled shrimp is really delicious.
This kind of white shrimp does not require any condiments when cooking, just boil it with the river water in front of the village.
The color of the boiled shrimp is more moist than jade, the meat is clearer than that of dolphin, not fishy and not greasy, the aftertaste is slightly sweet, the meat is smooth and tender, and the mouth is moist!
The preparation of white shrimp is simple, but there are many ways to eat it.
You can eat it with vinegar, fermented bean curd, or honey, each with its own flavor.
In addition, the remaining water from the boiled shrimp is a good thing and cannot be thrown away. It can be used to stew noodles. This is the local staple food for entertaining guests, fresh noodle soup.
Yun Song refused to eat and drink with the villagers. He wanted to find a room with Boss Sha, A Bao and Linghu Yu to eat as he pleased.
Qiao Dongliang apologized in panic and asked if the poor performance in his village had angered Master Ninth.
Yun Song had no choice but to say that he had a quirk and didn't like eating with strangers.
Qiao Dongliang sent them to the village ancestral hall.
Changqiao Village has a large population and the ancestral hall is large. It is divided into front and back yards. The back yard is dedicated to ancestors, and the front yard is a large, neat and clean room.
This is the best room in the village, and Qiao Dongliang uses this room to entertain guests.
So Yun Song brought a ghost and two beasts to eat here, each with a plate of shrimps and a big bowl of noodles, and it was very enjoyable to eat.
When the weather gets cold, it’s time to eat noodles. After a night of hot and fresh noodles, Yun Song was so exhausted that he was sweating all over his body.
After you've eaten and drank enough, it's time to get to work.
He nodded to Boss Sha, who also nodded with a silly smile.
Seeing this, Yunsong rolled his eyes: "I asked you to open the door and ask the Qiao family to come in."
Linghu Yun was smarter than Boss Sha. He had already taken the lead and opened the door after receiving the signal from Yun Song's eyes.
Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Shouxin and several clan elders came in with nods and bows: "Master Ninth, do you feel comfortable eating these shrimps and noodles? In fact, we have also prepared vegetables for you, stewed chicken and roasted lamb. Look,
…”
Yun Song waved his hand and said, "Let's have it as a midnight snack."
"boom!"
The door suddenly closed.
The Qiao family was trembling with fear.
This door was obviously open, why was it suddenly closed?
They couldn't see the door that was closed by Mr. Sha.
Boss Sha explained to them: "It's cold and it's night again. Close the door to keep warm."
He happily asked Yunsong: "Master Ninth, what do you think of my understanding? Am I drawing inferences from one example?"
Yun Song had nothing to say to this idiot. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand to tell Boss Sha to step back.
Qiao Shouxin boldly asked: "Master Ninth, why is this door suddenly..."
Yun Song said: "It's just my little trick. You don't have to worry about it. Now, please tell me in detail what happened to your father."
Qiao Dongliang said: "My father was celebrating his birthday, and he was here that day. I held a big banquet here and invited many people to eat and drink."
"Then my father was sitting in your seat, Master Ninth—that's the main seat here. Then, while he was eating and drinking, he suddenly fell over and lost his breath!"
"A good person disappears just as soon as he quits. How could this happen? My father is a Buddhist. He has done good deeds all his life, and there is no one in the country who doesn't say good things about him. He worships Buddha every day. How could this happen?
"
Qiao Dongliang is a filial son, and his eyes shed tears when he talked about this.
Yun Song said: "Qiao Shouxin told me that there was an explanation for your old man's death. He was borrowed from his life. What's going on?"
Qiao Dongliang wiped away his tears and said: "This statement was made by a fool in our village. Alas, this fool said that my old man was borrowed longevity yuan, and then he refused to let me bury him, saying that people would come back to pay him back.
, my old man will be resurrected by then."
After saying this, Qiao Dongliang showed a look of despair on his face: "Don't you think this is a bastard talk? There are people who borrow money and food, and I have also heard of people who borrowed their wives to have babies. This is all understandable.
, but what’s the point of borrowing Shou Yuan? Can I still borrow or repay this thing?”
"Even if that person really dares to come and pay back, we don't dare to accept him. Master Ninth, tell me, if this dead person comes back to life, what will it be?" A clan elder named Qiao Mengyang said with a bitter smile.
.
"This is considered a corpse scam."
Qiao Shouxin added something coldly, which made the clan elders tremble.
Yun Song asked: "What's going on with this fool? Where is he?"
Qiao Shouxin said positively: "I understand this fool - no, Mr. Bao is not a fool, he is a lunatic."
"Master Ninth, no one in this village knows him better than me, because he was the first to come to the village, and it was my family who gave him a few mouthfuls of food."
"The thing is like this..."
"Keep a long story short." Yun Song warned him worriedly, this guy was too good at talking nonsense.
Qiao Shouxin said: "Okay, to make a long story short, it was about ten years ago, it was winter, it was very cold, and then Mr. Bao came to our village like crazy."
"When he first appeared, he was fishing for fish and shrimps in the river in front of the village. It was extremely cold and the river was frozen, so he dug a hole in the ice and soaked in the water to find food."
"It's so cold. The fish and shrimps in the river have already hid in the mud to survive the winter. How can we catch them?"
"But Mr. Bao doesn't understand. He was just looking for something to eat. He touched some snails and ate them. But Master Ninth, you know, the snails in winter are all shells. How can we eat them?"
"My father was still alive at the time. Seeing how pitiful he was, he rescued him. He called him home and warmed him up. Then he stewed a bowl of sweet potato porridge for him, which finally saved him.
"
"After that, he stayed in our village. As you saw, Master Ninth, there were many reeds in the river in front of our village. He found reed poles and made himself a doghouse. He basked in the sun during the day and huddled in it at night. Whose family
If there was anything left to eat, I would give him a bite; if there was nothing left to eat, he would go dig for loaches in the river."
"That's it, he survived in a daze..."
Yun Song asked: "Has he shown any extraordinary abilities in his daily life?"
Qiao Shouxin said: "I have shown that if a child is frightened and falls asleep or cries incessantly, as long as you hold him close to him, he will curse, and when he finishes scolding, the child will be fine.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What are you scolding?"
Everyone shook their heads: "I can't understand him, and I don't know where the dialect is. I can tell that his tone is vicious and his words are vicious, but I don't know what he said."
Qiao Shouxin said: "Yes, he always talks like this on weekdays. I am the only one who can occasionally chat with him."
"The reason why I call him Pao Ye is because every time he talks to me, he will gibberish with the same sentence: 'Run, run, run, I won't be able to run away'!"
"This is really scary." Qiao Dongliang shrank his neck.
Qiao Shouxin nodded: "Yes, every time Mr. Bao says this, he screams at the top of his lungs and runs around. It's really scary."
After hearing this, Yun Song understood that this running man was a man with a story.
He asked: "Besides, is there anything else that needs attention?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Yun Song saw that they were not very firm in shaking their heads, so he guessed that they were not telling the truth.
He simply turned into a ghost and bewitched a few people:
"Dear clan elders, this village is in danger now. I'm afraid there is a evil spirit causing trouble in the village. I am the only one who can help you now. If you have anything, don't hide it from me. You have to tell me the truth!"
After saying a few simple words, several people were really ready to make a move.
Qiao Dongliang spoke first, and he said hesitantly: "This, this, Master Ninth, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"My father passed away, and my family received two sums of money from time to time. One of the sums was given to my father when I was cleaning up his room and found a gold bracelet and a gold ring in his pillow."
"The other amount of money was from my grandson digging an ant nest under the tree at home. He dug out a jade cicada. The jade cicada had good water. Then he asked me to go to Chengxinfang in the city and sell it for a hundred oceans!"
An elder named Qiao Mengshan said weakly: "Our family also got some money, but this money is what my family should have, but it can be regarded as a windfall. It is a bit weird. The weird thing is that it is like me."
It’s related to the dreams I had over the past two days.”
"Starting from the third night after my son's death, I dreamed that he was back. After he came back, he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at home, then found the money hidden at home and threw it out!"
"My family's conditions are pretty good. Normally, my son is in charge of the money. But he died so suddenly that we don't even know where he kept the money."
"After he came back, he rummaged through the boxes at home and found the money and threw it out. After I woke up, I rummaged around according to the memory in my dream, and I really found a lot of money..."
Hearing this, Yun Song asked: "Who is your son?"
Qiao Shouxin said: "It's the one who wanted to kill a pig on his birthday, but the pig kicked him on the hot water and scalded him to death."
Yunsong nodded.
He asked Qiao Mengshan: "What about the money you found? Did your family keep it?"
Qiao Mengshan nodded: "Yes, they are all saved."
Yun Song said: "You can't ask for this money! This is to buy longevity wealth!"
"The lunatic in your village is wrong. The people in your village have not been deprived of their longevity, but bought it!"
"You don't understand such an obvious truth?"
"After a member of your family dies, you start to make a fortune. Is this normal?"
"Qiao Shouxin, go and call all the people in the village who died on their birthdays recently and ask them if their families also got rich!"
