Chapter 26 What's on His Stomach?
In a daze, he seemed to be half asleep. The strange smell emanating from the book suddenly gave him a strong impulse - a very strange impulse - he wanted to lick the pages of the book. And the pages were different from other books.
The book was completely different. The pages of ordinary books were made of yellow and rough paper, but the pages of this book were as white and smooth as porcelain. This made Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather have the urge to lick it.
He couldn't help sticking out his tongue, licking it greedily on the page as if he was drunk. A magical thing happened. Wherever his tongue passed, it would leave wet marks on the page, and there was a miracle in the wet marks.
The handwriting appears.
When Zhang Butcher's great-grandfather realized this, he licked even more vigorously. Moreover, while licking, he read the handwriting that appeared. Although his head was still a little dizzy, he remembered the content so clearly.
Because those contents were questions that had troubled him and made him confused countless times, and this book gave clear answers to them all.
Stimulated by the smell, his saliva seemed to flow endlessly. Fortunately, the book did not have many pages and content, so he quickly finished it by licking it like this.
He collapsed on the kang in exhaustion. After a long meeting, his mind gradually became clear. Then he felt that his mouth was dry, so he quickly touched the teapot and drank a large pot of water.
How to use the techniques in the book to "safely" kill the third bandit? Why can the boss and second brother make the executioner who cuts off their heads die so miserably?
Zhang Butcher’s great-grandfather paced the room repeatedly, constantly combining the contents of the book and thinking about these issues. The first day passed quickly. In racking his brains, Zhang Butcher’s
Grandpa gradually had some idea of how to kill the third bandit.
During the day the next day, he was still locked in the room alone, but he seemed very leisurely, sipping tea calmly, and playing a game of Go by himself with great interest. He spent an afternoon like this. After eating
After lunch, he went to sleep next to his head, and when he woke up, it was already dark - he slept all afternoon.
This made the servants who brought him food and water a little surprised and a little impressed - the master was shouldering such an important mission, but he could still be so calm. He really had the demeanor of a general who was taking things easy. In view of the tragic death of the above two executioners, the whole city
Everyone was worried that he was about to kill the third child, but he didn't expect that he himself was not afraid or panic at all.
After dinner, as usual, Gao Butcher's great-grandfather began to read under the lamp again. He didn't put down the book until it was completely dark, and then he quietly opened the curtains and looked outside the room.
Finding that there was no one in the yard, he immediately changed his clothes, put on a hat, walked out of the house gently, then closed the door behind his back, and quickly slipped out of the back door of the yard onto the street.
In order not to run into acquaintances, he walked exclusively through secluded alleys. Although it was unavoidable to go around in circles, the place he went to was very clear - the home of the old storyteller Liu Tou.
This old Liu Tou makes a living by telling stories in teahouses. He is probably in his sixties, but he is still articulate, quick-thinking, and knowledgeable. His storyteller skills are even more powerful. As long as he speaks, the teahouse will definitely be full.
Therefore, every teahouse owner in the county treats Old Liutou as a guest, so Old Liutou's income is very considerable. However, this old man has a bit of a weird personality. He only talks for more than an hour every day, no matter how much money he pays.
, and said no more. At this time, it was probably the time when he had finished his book and had dinner at home.
Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather had a good relationship with this old Liu Tou. The two often chatted together, and their conversations were always very speculative. But today, Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather had something very important to do, and he wanted to see Old Liu Tou.
.
Knocking on Lao Liutou's door, it was true that he was having dinner. Because his wife died early, and the old man did not live with his son for the sake of purity, there was only a servant girl around to take care of his daily life, so the house seemed very special.
Deserted.
Because there was a servant girl nearby, the conversation between the two did not have any substantive content. They just chatted for a while until Old Liu finished his meal, took away the bowls and chopsticks, and the two of them packed tea and left
The servant girl retreated, and then the long conversation really began.
Old Liu Tou asked straight to the point: "Did you come so late because of the bandit Lao San?"
Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather smiled and said, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you, Liu Banxian, who is knowledgeable about the past and the present, ha."
It turns out that this old Liu Tou came from the same village as these three bandits. It can be said that he grew up watching these three bandits. It was not until these three boys became adults and went to the mountains to become bandits that they were never seen again.
.
Because of this connection, Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather came to see Old Liu Tou and wanted to inquire about the details of these three bandits.
When talking about these three bandits, Old Liu Tou started talking.
When he was in the village, Lao Liutou often saw these three brothers when he was a child. However, some of their behaviors were indeed different from ordinary children and very weird. For example, no matter how hot the weather was, other children were naked, but these three brothers remained
They wear long clothes and long trousers very neatly. No one in the village has ever seen them naked, no matter how young they were.
This is very strange. In one summer, something even stranger happened.
One day, the third among the three bandits went to the river to play with other children in the village. Because it was very hot that day, the other children jumped into the river and swam and splashed to their heart's content. Only the third was still wearing his clothes.
Standing neatly on the shore, even though his clothes were soaked with sweat, he neither took off his clothes nor went to the river to swim.
Some children in the river began to encourage him to come down. Some children called him a fool for wearing so many clothes on such a hot day. After all, the third child was still just a child at that time and could not withstand the ridicule and heckles of his peers.
He finally decided to go into the river, but he still had his clothes on.
In the clear, cool river, the children were laughing and playing happily in the water. The third child was also very affected by this atmosphere. He changed his past restraint and shyness and gradually became one with the children and had a lot of fun.
Happy.
One of the children had the best relationship with the third child. He pulled the third child and said: "The water over there is not deep, but there are many fish, and there are red fish, which are very beautiful. Let's swim over there."
After listening to it, they happily accepted the child's proposal. So the two of them left the other children and swam to another place.
During the swimming process, the child saw that the third child was still wearing clothes, and that the clothes were a bit thin, making swimming very inconvenient, so he said to the third child: "Why are you still wearing clothes in the water? Take them off."
As he talked, he swam over and pulled off the clothes on the third child. For some reason, the third child suddenly became very nervous and hurriedly pushed the child, and the two of them were torn together. Because they were in the water, the clothes were under the action of buoyancy.
It was half floating on the water, and after such a tear, it soon opened up.
But when the child saw the third child's belly, he couldn't help but was so shocked that he stood motionless in the water that was not deep. The third child was very panic and quickly pulled his clothes to cover the exposed belly.
He no longer had the intention to continue swimming, so he quickly went ashore and ran to his home.
The child who saw the belly of the third child stood in the water as if he was frightened, until other children came over and dragged him home. From then on, the child became nervous.
