Chapter 123 Fan

Mr. Shen's words woke everyone up suddenly, and as the thatched hut in the deserted village on the mountainside gradually came into everyone's sight, the group of people who had been driving for two or three days in the mountains and forests could be regarded as collectively encountering a little turning point.

So for a while, everyone ran forward quickly with unconcealed excitement, wanting to be the first to pat on other people's doors, to see if there would be any decent hot meals in this wilderness.

Among them, the tall and burly Xiao Sun and the couple surnamed Zheng were the most excited, and they rushed to the gate of the fence and yelled together.

"Hey! Hey! Let me tell you... you all run slowly! Keep your voice down! It's already late at night, and the folks may have already fallen asleep. It's really impolite for us to yell like this... "

Except for Chen Ruqin, who was also left behind because of her slow walking, basically no one listened to the old man's stop and advice from behind.

Those few reckless students even cheered and threw the beverage bottles and convenience bags and other garbage that they drank in their hands all over the ground when they were happy, and then they ran forward together.

Seeing this, the old Mr. Shen, who didn't seem to know what to say at all, shook his head helplessly, but just as he was about to bend down and squat down to pick up all the trash on the ground and then follow the young man's footsteps, his expression paused. However, he suddenly saw a piece of golden ore-like object looming out of the rain-soaked soil, which made him rub his eyes in amazement.

"Mr. Shen? What's wrong with you?"

Perhaps it was because the old man had been squatting here without moving. Chen Ruqin, who was walking in front, looked hesitantly at the people who had already run to the front, and finally turned around and asked the old man.

And the gray-haired old gentleman touched his chin and pondered for a while, first motioned her to wait a moment, and then used a bunch of key nail clippers on his waist to dig into the soil twice before finally So thoroughly separated a piece of yellow ore the size of a thumb underneath and murmured dumbfounded,

"This... this is really amazing... I have lived in this world for five or sixty years, I never thought that such a thing really exists..."

Mr. Shen, who was obviously a little excited and unspeakably excited, met Chen Ruqin's puzzled eyes, and quickly wiped the hem of his shirt, and couldn't hide his joy. Putting the yellow ore in front of Chen Ruqin's eyes for comparison, the old gentleman smiled like an old child and explained,

"This child seems very lucky. You must have stepped on this when you walked over just now. This is a good thing. It is good for you and the child..."

"Yes, is it? But... what is this thing?"

"This... this is the rare 'Tiger Might' once in a hundred years."

"Tiger Might?"

"Yeah, 'Huwei' literally means the majesty in the eyes of a tiger. Have you ever heard of this saying in the south? It is said that in the past, woodcutters and hunters in the mountains encountered tigers at night. The speed is too fast, often feel dazzled, and sometimes you will see three tigers rushing towards you in the air at one time, at this time, you have to stab the middle one with all your strength, because ah, that is the real tiger .”

"..."

"After a tiger dies, its head is usually lying on the ground, and its eyes are also pointing straight down. At this time, you just need to keep that spot firmly in mind, and come back to dig at night when the moonlight dissipates. It is about two feet deep where the tiger died. A piece of amber-shaped topaz is sure to be dug out from the ground, it is the product of the tiger's gaze, that is... the legendary 'Tiger Might' that can dispel all evils and eliminate disasters."

"Tigers...but why are there dead tigers here...Mr. Shen...don't all tigers live in deep mountains and old forests..."

"Eh, that's right? There shouldn't even be large wild animals in this place. Why would an adult tiger die here..."

Having said that, the old man, who looked at the 'Tiger Might' in his palm with a puzzled face, was also a little puzzled, but before they continued to discuss and come to a conclusion, the one who had just spontaneously ran to the front Xiao Sun yelled at them at the top of his voice.

"Old Mister!! Ms. Chen!! Where are you guys!! All of us have found a place to spend the night! Come here quickly!"

"Hey, okay, we'll be here soon... we'll be here right away, just wait a moment..."

Responding with such a raised voice, the old gentleman and Chen Ruqin could only put aside the strange topic just now, and continued to go to the hut not far away together while talking.

But when they finally arrived at the door of the so-called fellow villager's house through the deep and shallow rain, they took a casual glance inside through the light-transmitting screen window in front of the house, and Chen, who was half a step behind Mr. Ruqin suddenly met a sarcoid on the head in the room, and a twisted shadow with a sharp beak.

The shadow of this animal is so long, it is bright red and glaring, and the old screen window with the word "Zheng Fu" on it gives people a very strange feeling. There is an inexplicable sense of confusion that is completely upside down with the outside world, but except Chen Ruqin and Mr. Shen, who was walking in front, didn't notice anything unusual.

So the woman with the big belly turned pale with fright and quickly rubbed her eyes to take a closer look, but this time she didn't see anything except the familiar shadow of a strange woman in the room.

And when she was supporting her stomach with a pale face, and finally approached the hut carefully, the next second, Chen Ruqin, whose lips were so frightened by the scene just now, could only hear a woman with a Dongshan dialect holding her hand. With a thin voice, he said with a smile to everyone who had already entered the door,

"My husband's family has gone to the mountains. I'm the only woman at home tonight. I have a big belly now, and the house at home is not big, but if you don't mind, why don't you eat some food in the mountains and rest overnight until dawn?"

"Oh, thank you so much, thank you, it's really not easy to meet such a kind person like your sister-in-law in this situation...Everyone hurry up and say thank you, we need you to make dinner for us this big night..."

"No, it doesn't matter, I just don't know if you are used to eating it, my husband's family and I don't usually eat meat, I'm afraid you won't like it..."

"I like it, I'm used to it, I'm used to it, don't worry, my husband and I are here to eat farm food in Dongshan, haha... you said you're pregnant? Is it your first child? , but it seems that the stomach is not very obvious, how many months has it been?"

"I've been pregnant for a while, but it's not the first child. There are already seven or eight younger siblings, so the belly is not so obvious... There is a saying in Dongshan that when a doll the size of a chicken egg comes out, ah, no , I don’t know exactly what’s going on until after I’m born…”

"Seven or eight younger brothers and sisters? Oh, the childbearing environment here in Dongshan County is so relaxed? But what about those children? They also went outside with your husband, or..."

"Oh, I'm all... already asleep, it's too late today, and the children are too young to move or talk... When the last baby in my stomach is born, my husband and I are going to go to the mountains together I have a baby..."

"Hey, it turns out that you still have this custom here. It's really rare. In fact, there is also a pregnant woman in our team, but I think the belly is already big and big. It's not the same as yours. Speaking of which, where did Xiao Chen go, Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen? Why are you standing at the door by yourself and not coming in..."

Upon hearing this, it was said by that Ms. Zheng. Chen Ruqin, who was standing outside the door drenched in the rain, quickly responded when she heard the words, and walked into the threshold with difficulty while holding her stomach.

And when she stepped into the house, she realized that the hostess was about to get up and go to the kitchen outside.

After meeting her gaze, the woman whose nose and bridge were shriveled inexplicably, her sticky eyelids and brown eyeballs were far apart, but her lips were bright red smiled strangely at her.

When she smiled, Chen Ruqin realized that this woman had no teeth in her mouth, and her too thin and slender hands and feet had been carefully concealed under the sleeves and trousers, and she walked awkwardly.

But the people around didn't seem to find it particularly strange. Instead, they all eagerly waited for the owner of the hut to bring some food.

This made it difficult for Chen Ruqin to express any opinions immediately, so she could only sit down on the long bench in the corner in a daze, and looked palely at Teacher Shen and Ms. Sun Zheng who were sharing their feelings The piece of 'Tiger Might' that was discovered before got up.

For this kind of treasure that I have never seen before, everyone is naturally curious for a while. It seems that the old man with excellent manners like Mr. Shen obviously does not know how to hide his secrets. Instead, he enthusiastically gave the driver Xiaosun and that Several students introduced the origin of this "Tiger Might".

It's just that the story I told Chen Ruqin was only halfway through when the hostess at the other end opened the door curtain and came in with what looked like a big soup basin from the outside.

And hurriedly signaled everyone to pay attention to politeness, and put away the 'Tiger Might' that was originally on the table. Teacher Shen who raised his head just wanted to say to the hostess how tired he was with a smile. Dumbfounded and everyone else faced the big pot of rice bran and rice husks placed in the center of the table.

"Everyone eat slowly, it's not enough...there's still enough in the kitchen outside."

The appearance is a bit abnormal, but the hostess, who is quite shy and introverted, said this in a local accent and shook her shoulders strangely at everyone, but Xiao Sun and the others, who had a tense and strange face, were obviously unable to laugh, and even took the whole The atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive and dull.

Seeing this, Ms. Zheng only replied with a smirk, thank you, thank you very much. When she saw the hostess said, I will clean up the house for everyone, she turned around and went out. Pointing impatiently at the big washbasin in front of him,

"You guys, look at what the hell this brought up. It's a good thing we thanked her so sincerely just now. Sure enough, what the news said is also true. I can't completely believe that all rural people are good, so You are stingy and stingy, do you really think that we are just passing by and beggars, and just send us away with mouth food..."

Ms. Zheng's words are a bit harsh, but it is undeniable that everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time, but it must be uncomfortable to wait for such a big pot of food that even chickens and ducks will not eat, and that person is also very hungry. Seeing this, Mr. Shen was also a little helpless, so he could only shake his hand peacefully and said another word.

"Maybe the couple really eat these things. We can't judge others by ourselves, and compare our living conditions with others'. This is not good, this is not good. After all, they took us in..."

But upon hearing his words, Ms. Zheng, who had a cold and unhappy expression on her face, laughed even more ironically. She snorted coldly, pointed to the fence outside the house and the small kitchen and whispered,

"I advise you...don't think too well of everyone. If I didn't see the newly built chicken coop outside and the basket of eggs in the small kitchen when I came in, I would really believe it. If she and her husband don't eat meat..."

"Chicken coop...eggs?! Really? Sister Zheng, where did you see it..."

"Just when I passed by the outside kitchen, the basket was covered with straw so that we might not see it, heh, something worth a few cents a piece, if we really ate it, we would pay her double the price..."

"... Absolutely. I said that this sister-in-law is also true. I'm afraid we won't give her money... And I guess there must be eggs and hens here. Our dinner seems to be settled. , listen to me, we might as well be like this..."

The hungry-looking driver Xiaosun got excited when he heard this, and when he realized that Mr. Shen gave him a warning look, he subconsciously lowered his voice like that Ms. Zheng.

And cautiously glanced out of the screen window, staring at the red eyes and beckoning to everyone including Chen Ruqin at this moment, the hungry driver Xiao Sun was doing it under the light He made a gesture of chopping off his neck, swallowed greedily, wiped the corners of his mouth and panted,

"Let's... why don't we catch the chicken while this sister-in-law is asleep... kill the chicken and eat it, how about it?"
