Chapter 24 Lies
Just when I was at a loss what to do, a few ordinary village women walked into the yard carelessly, carrying some vegetables and fruits in their hands and some meat on their backs. My eyes lit up and I suddenly had an idea.
This is a habit in rural areas, helping in the kitchen.
Qian Dagui's cow died mysteriously. He had to trouble the village cadres, hire a veterinarian, and always prepare a table of food for the reception. In this case, Qian Dagui's daughter-in-law must have no intention of cooking, so she called Xiangchang
It was perfectly normal for the women above to come to help.
I looked at the village cadre and said, "I'm going to class in the afternoon, but my home is in XX Village. How far is it to go back to eat at this time?"
"You didn't bring a lunch box?" The village cadre was a little angry and funny.
"I'm just going to have a meal here, okay? Uncle?" I tried my best to look greedy, which is easy to understand. What can be delicious in a lunch box? Such a table seat
, not to mention how it tastes, there is always a lot of meat.
Such a request must be made by someone with a certain degree of shamelessness. I felt uneasy and kept saying, "Fortunately, I am a child, well, I am a child."
The village cadre had no choice but to look at Qian Dagui.
Although he is stingy with his money, he actually has a good character. How can he care about a child who wants to eat at the table? He said: "Let him eat before he goes to school. Anyway, it's just a matter of having an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."
I was finally able to stay justifiably, but even my ears were burning. At the same time, I admired my master. It took so much courage to live in the village for many years.
Time passed by minute by second, and I looked at the door eagerly. Finally, when it was time to start the banquet, three people walked into the courtyard without a care in the world.
"It smells so good. Rural rice is delicious, with big bowls of meat and big bowls of wine." Needless to say, this voice belonged to my master. I buried my head and muttered to myself a hundred times, I don't know him, I don't know him.
.
But Su Rou saw me at this time, and ran over with a 'dong dong dong', and he also picked up a stool, squeezed me out of the way, then sat down and said to me: "Sanwa'er, I'm tired."
You've been running around so hard, your kid is so unkind and you're eating it right here?"
I feel like my face, which has been around for almost 15 years, will be completely ruined by the meat. Do you have any grudge against me? You have to make my image of eating and drinking so clear, but torture is far from enough.
over.
My side tightened, and old man Huijue squeezed in and sat down on my right side: "Okay, okay, scrambled eggs with leeks, it tastes good, Sanwazi, do you know that you like to eat this?" He said hello to the kitchen
.”
I felt like I was about to suffocate, so I whispered to Old Man Hui: "This cooking pot is used for frying meat. Why don't you avoid it? Even if you eat eggs, you also eat leeks? What kind of monk do you think you are?"
"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you don't see the killing, don't hear the killing, and don't kill it for yourself, the meat is clean. What's more, the poor monk has a kind heart and won't even touch the three pure meats, Amitabha." Huijue looked compassionate.
He looked like one, spoke in a standard Beijing accent, and even sang a Buddhist chant.
Everyone at the table was dumbfounded. He was clearly an old farmer from Shaanxi just now. How did he become a monk from Beijing?
Forget it, with this group of people, we must first learn to be 'shameless' in order to live a stable life. I silently thought to myself that I can't see, I can't hear, so I just ignored everything.
There was another tightening around me, and I knew that my best master had sat down. He didn't talk nonsense. As soon as he got on the table, he threw a piece of pig ear into his mouth. He chewed it loudly and poured himself a glass.
I drank the wine with a slurp.
"Why are you all standing there? Eat quickly!" He greeted the people at the table enthusiastically, as if he was the master.
"Ahem!" Qian Dagui coughed. With such a group of incomprehensible people coming, it was strange that he, the master, could sit there.
"Why are you coughing? Don't you remember me? The man who helped you with your disease and deworming for free! I'm here to help you with your cattle." Old Man Jiang's eyes widened, as if he had been greatly wronged, but he finally managed to
He said something to explain.
As soon as he said this, the people at the table realized, weren't these two old men the same ones who handed out insecticides? No wonder they didn't recognize them. You said that as soon as you entered the yard, you were like a gust of wind.
They crowded onto the table. Who knows you?
Thinking of the origins of these two old men, Qian Dagui felt a little better. At least they did not come to his house to eat and drink. He had also done things for people in the countryside, but when he thought of these two old men
Qian Dagui's heart twitched as he discovered his son's identity.
What's your identity? He specializes in killing insects! He just mentioned the matter of cattle to help? Could it be that his own cattle are infected with the insect disease? Then the insect patients can't escape. If the experience of cattle is raised to the experience of humans,
, then things would be terrible.
Qian Dagui looked at my master with a pale face. Also with a pale face was his wife. Qian Dagui looked at my master and was about to speak.
My master glanced at him and said, "Let's eat first. If you get infected, there are insect repellents available, so don't worry."
These words made Qian Dagui and his wife feel relieved. The anti-worming medicine was indeed effective, but their reassurance was limited. Think about the miserable situation of the cow. How could a person repay it like this?
After finishing the meal, Su Rou and I could justifiably refuse to go to school. The reason is very simple. Old Man Jiang’s current identity has been confirmed at the wine table as old Chinese medicine practitioners, and the two of us are his.
Little apprentice.
When the village cadre heard about it, he even said: "I said I wanted to stay here, but it turns out that I don't want to see you for free at this time. I want to have a meal."
When Old Man Jiang heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Go and ask your township chief to come and tell Jiang Lizhun to find him."
Such a big face, the village cadre took a breath, a little unsure of the situation, but Old Man Jiang said something next, and he had to go; "Why are you standing there? If you want me to do it myself
Take a trip and I will demote you when you come back."
Of course this is a naked threat, but in some cases threats are more effective. The village cadres went.
After the mayor came and looked at the cows, he returned to the yard with a heavy face. Just after he sat down, the veterinarian also came. When he saw the veterinarian, the mayor rushed over, grabbed the veterinarian, and stood aside.
I don't know what to say.
After finishing speaking, the veterinarian went to see the cow, and I quietly asked Old Man Jiang: "Master, what is this township chief doing?"
"Nonsense, of course you ask the veterinarian to conceal the facts. I guarantee that the veterinarian has never seen this kind of thing. What if he yells and yells about something? What impact will it have on you and what will be the consequences? Brat, why didn't you do it?
What's your IQ?" Old Man Jiang rolled his eyes at me.
I'm so angry, I'm less than 15 years old, what kind of IQ do you want me to have?
Su Rou also mysteriously ran up to Old Man Jiang and said, "Master Jiang, is that insect here?"
Old Man Jiang glanced at the room with a heavy expression and said: "Guess? If Qian Dagui didn't make a big fuss about his cattle today, I can tell you responsibly that after tonight, their family will be the only one left."
It’s a pile of rotten meat, can you believe it?”
Surou was startled, put his schoolbag on his back, and said with an upright expression: "Master Jiang, I am a good student. I have to go to class in the afternoon."
Old Man Jiang sighed and said carelessly: "Go, go, go, you are in the way anyway."
Su Rou put down his schoolbag and said, "I really don't want to leave, I'll stay here."
Old Man Jiang glanced at Surou mysteriously and said: "In the evening."
As soon as he said these two words, the veterinarian over there was helped out. It looked like he had just vomited. Qian Dagui hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
I heard the veterinarian say a little weakly: "The situation is that you are infected with a parasite. I don't have special anthelmintics here, so there is nothing I can do."
This rhetoric was obviously taught by the township head, but it was obviously enough to fool Qian Dagui and his wife.
Qian Dagui looked a little worried. He originally held out hope that the disease was caused by the cow itself. His original idea was that his cow was harmed and poisoned because it was too miserable.
, he did not expect this result.
The mayor put his arm around the veterinarian's shoulders and went out. He didn't know what he was going to preach to the veterinarian again. Old Man Jiang was sitting in the yard and lit up his precious dry cigarette. I yawned.
I really wanted to go to Qian Dagui's house to sleep, but thinking about the bugs, I felt afraid.
Only the crispy meat kept running in front of Old Man Jiang, muttering: "What are you going to do tonight? Master Jiang, why don't you tell me?"
Helpless, Old Man Jiang ignored him at all.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, in the yard of Qian Dagui's house.
The township head tried hard to talk to Qian Dagui about the work of persuasion, but Qian Dagui and his wife still looked confused.
"Head of the township, you said that the cow dies when it dies. If people are infected, don't you have insecticide? Why do you want us to stay at the township government for one night?" Qian Dagui's daughter-in-law said.
It is indeed difficult to find a reason for this matter. The township head was a little at a loss for words and looked at Old Man Jiang with a helpless expression in his eyes.
At this time, Old Man Jiang stood up slowly, walked over with his hands behind his back, and said to Qian Dagui and his wife: "You should go live in the township government. It is safer that way. After all, the effect of insecticides is limited.
One or two is fine, but if you are full of bugs, how can you fight them?"
Qian Dagui and his wife were obviously intimidated. They looked at Old Man Jiang and said, "How can I be so full of worms?"
"There isn't one now, and I'm sure there will be one tonight. Such a big cow, how many worms do you think it has in its belly? You've parked it in the cattle pen for so long, how many worms do you think will escape into your house?
There must be several people coming tonight
Help, cook a big pot of traditional Chinese medicine for repelling insects. There are still many troubles. You two can't help. You two are standing in the middle of the room. What if you get infected?" Old Man Jiang just finished speaking.
The elder looked at Old Man Jiang with admiration.
