The old couple of the Cheng family also felt sorry for their son, but fortunately they did not eat the fish they brought back.
We bid farewell to the old people of the Cheng family and came to Ding Yimao's family, the last family to catch fish together.
The Ding family was very lively. Their people were cooking when we arrived, and the entire Ding family yard was bustling with people.
The old couple of the Ding family, their three sons, their two daughters, and five and a half children are all at home.
They were fighting and pushing each other, some helped set the dishes and wait for the meal, and some complained that they were hungry and urged Aunt Ding to move faster. The food was so delicious that their mouths were already watering.
I didn't greet them politely when I entered the yard. The first thing I said when I came up was, "Have you eaten the fish that Ding Yimao and Guan Tao brought back?"
My attitude was a little too eager, and I yelled to the point where all the people in the yard were stunned and looked at me in surprise and confusion.
Lang Hongyi explained for me, "Guan Tao and Cheng Qian both fell ill because of eating fish. Did you eat the fish you caught that day? This matter is very important, please speak quickly!"
Standing at the door of the kitchen, Ding Yimao, who was helping to hold the firewood, shook his head stupidly and said with a dull expression, "I haven't... not eaten... but it's been cooked in the pot..."
It turned out that a relative of the Ding family was holding a wedding event in the past two days, and the whole family went out to have a wedding banquet. Even those who helped bring the main banquet ate for three days before they came back.
The big fish that Ding Yimao caught that day was kept in a water tank. He had just killed it and stewed it in a pot. He also cooked a big pot of fish soup and prepared it for dinner.
I sniffed and smelled in the yard, and what I inhaled was not only the fishy smell of fish soup, but also a disgusting stench.
I asked the Ding family with a puzzled look on their face, "Don't you guys smell a bad smell?"
Ding Ermao snorted mischievously, "Ye Sanman, right? Is there something wrong with you? All of us can only smell a very fragrant smell. You are the only one who can smell the bad smell. Who do you think this is?"
Something is wrong!"
Lang Hongyi's tall body took a step forward, and Ding Yimao, who was 1.58 meters tall, stepped back automatically to avoid the enveloping shadow, and also shut up and did not dare to say anything.
Seeing that these people obviously didn't believe it, I strode into the kitchen.
I reached out and opened the lid of the big pot, and the smell became even stronger. I wanted to cover my mouth and nose to drive this smell away from my sense of smell.
Sure enough, what came out of the steamer was not white steam, but a thick black gas surrounding it. I raised my hand and waved the gas above to signal Lang Hongyi not to get too close.
But he had already roughly taken out the water soaked in willow leaves from his pocket, poured it into the palm of his hand, and rubbed it with both hands.
I shouted directly into the eyes of Uncle Ding, who rushed up to question me, and Ding Ermao.
Worried that it wouldn't work, I rubbed it hard.
Ding Ermao is a notoriously bad-tempered person who doesn't get involved, and thought I was going to hit people and cause trouble...
Before he even opened his eyes, his fists were already spinning.
The rest of the Ding family were shouting to stop me and reminding me to be careful, while the Ding family's aunt screamed and went up to hug Ding Ermao to stop him from hitting anyone casually.
"Er Mao, you can't. This is our makeup artist in the village. We can't beat anyone who is capable!"
"She's just a fucking little magician, you really think she's a green onion!" Ding Ermao still didn't take back his fist.
As long as I didn't block or dodge, I would definitely be punched in the face. There was a big pot of hot fish soup in front of me, and the consequences would be disastrous if someone fell into it.
But I am definitely not someone who just stands around waiting to be beaten, and Lang Hongyi is also here, so it is even more impossible for him to watch this fist actually fall on me.
While I was avoiding it, Lang Hongyi accurately grasped Ding Ermao's wrist with his big hand. The force made Ding Ermao scream loudly, and it felt like his wrist was pinched.
"Open your eyes and take a good look, you really want to eat this pot of food!"
I yelled angrily, and I was so angry that I slapped Ding Ermao on the face. This ungrateful thing, I was the one who saved his whole family today!
Hearing my roar, Ding Ermao and Uncle Ding both looked into the big pot in their kitchen. At this glance, the scene was overturned.
The two men rushed out of the kitchen and started vomiting when they got to the courtyard.
The sound of wowing could be heard endlessly. Although the other members of the Ding family didn't know what was going on, they all stepped forward to check.
"Then... ugh... what is that... God, it smells so bad!"
Uncle Ding pointed toward the kitchen behind him while vomiting.
But the other people in the Ding family who didn't open their eyes didn't understand what their father meant. They sniffled and asked in confusion, "No, dad's fish soup tastes quite fragrant!"
Ding Ermao echoed his father's words for the first time, "Ugh...it smells like shit, don't disgust me, it smells like the mud from a dead man's grave...it still smells good...yikes...don't even ask for the pot!"
"
"No, no, no...fuck, even those inside the pot and belt are thrown out, quick! Throw them out!"
The head of the family had already spoken, and no one else dared to object. It was Ding Yimao who took action. He put a rag on the edge of the pot and walked out with the big pot.
After a while, he came back empty-handed. I quickly asked, "You came back so soon. Where did you throw it?"
As expected, I was not told that I guessed wrong. Ding Yimao, this stupid boy, felt sorry for the pot of soup made from the big fish he caught and the good pot at home. He didn't obey at all. He just took it outside and hid it behind the firewood pile at home.
, not lost at all!
I found out that this child was stammering, and I saw the flaw at a glance, and it turned out to be a big-eared melon seed!
Ding Yimao then walked out languidly and actually poured out the fish soup. The big pot was thrown into the place where the villagers gathered their garbage.
When Ding Yimao was not at home, we had already found out from Aunt Ding the origin of the fish in the pot. As expected, it was Yimao, Guan Tao and the others who went out to catch it from nowhere.
Because it looked quite big, I was reluctant to give it away and kept it to be eaten by the whole family.
No matter how specific it is, we have to wait for Ding Yimao to come back and give us the answer. So far, among the three people who went to catch fish that day, he was the only one who was still awake.
After I opened their eyes, Uncle Ding and Ding Ermao saw a strange scene. They were so frightened that they didn't eat anything and went back to the house to lie down.
The younger Sanmao and his two sisters were all sent away by Aunt Ding's few dollars, so they went out to eat and eat on their own and escaped.
The house has now become quiet, and only Lang Hongyi and I are left, waiting with Aunt Ding for Ding Damao to come back and ask everything.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Aunt Ding asked us cautiously, "Sanman, it was Ermao who was not good just now. It scared you. My aunt has been treating you as an outsider. What happened just now? Why did your uncle and Ermao suddenly become
It’s getting weird, and what happened to the fish soup?”
"Auntie, I might as well tell you that Guan Tao and Cheng Qian, who went out to catch fish with Ding Mao and came back to eat the fish, have fallen ill and are now unconscious and in very bad condition. I think they must have provoked something.
."
This news is a very serious problem for women in rural areas. They are not afraid of anything, but they are only afraid of things that cannot be seen or touched.
As soon as she heard that something might have happened because of the fish, Aunt Ding immediately became nervous and asked questions with a fearful expression.
"If your family didn't eat this fish, it should be fine. Don't be afraid yet! I'm not here. Let's ask after Yimao comes back!"
Now I am blind, I only know that something is wrong with this fish, and I dare not say anything else!
