However, Zhou Qishan and the other two walked around the village and found that the people here were quite lazy and nice. I heard that they were all very attentive when looking for a place to live, but the prices quoted were more cruel than the last, like
Treating Zhou Qishan and the others as fat sheep to be slaughtered.
The old man was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.
When these people heard Zhou Qishan's price, their faces immediately changed.
"With that little money, you can't even squeeze into our chicken coop. My hens are more valuable than you guys." A woman said.
They walked around the village, and except for a few people who opened the door for them, they basically heard nothing but cynicism.
Zhou Qishan scratched his head, and the old man beside him smiled instead of getting angry and said: "Young man, this is the kindness, hospitality and simple folk customs you have here. Old man, I have learned a lot this time."
Zhou Qishan is really embarrassed. I didn't expect this place to have deteriorated into this. It must have been spoiled by those tourists.
They walked back around again and found that the group that had settled in the village before was sitting in the yard of a farmhouse. In front of the table were roast chicken and various farm delicacies. There were so many things, and they were placed there.
Full and full.
Those people's mouths were full of oil, and it seemed that all of them were starving.
These people had obviously noticed Zhou Qishan and the others. Seeing them walking around the village, several of them were indescribably happy.
Someone said loudly: "If you don't have money, you can pretend to be flying, and you will be hungry at night. If you don't have money, why come to the deep mountains and old forests..."
"That's right, why did you come to the mountains to die? Don't leave all your old bones in the mountains."
"If you're not exhausted to death, it's really a joke if you're starved to death. Don't cause trouble to the villagers. When the time comes, you'll have to ask the villagers to collect the bodies for you."
"I don't know where the bad old man came from, and there is also a poor boy. Oh, it's a perfect match!"
"..."
These people were there criticizing and criticizing Huaihuai. Although these meals were far less than what they expected and not as good as the meals they had eaten in the city, it was a good thing to eat them now, it was enjoyable, and it was paired with the beer that the villagers treasured.
, blowing the gentle evening breeze, not to mention more chic.
Especially when they looked at the darkened face of the old man not far away, they were even more embarrassed.
If the old lady hadn't kept holding the old man back, he probably would have gone up and fought these bastards.
Zhou Qishan said: "Shall we go to the nearby mountain temple to deal with it all night?"
The two old men nodded, and the old man even curled his lips and said: "Come on, hurry up, you will be upset when you see these idiots."
The mountain temple is not far away, just outside the village, backed by a large grove of trees.
When the Four Old Temples were demolished in the early years of the mountain temple here, the statues of the gods were torn down. There used to be side halls and ear halls, but now only the main hall is left, with half of it collapsed.
People in the village thought this place was unlucky. It was said that a young daughter-in-law who had been wrongly accused was hanged in the main hall, so no one came.
Zhou Qishan and the two elders are not taboo, they are both Miao Zhenggenhong's disciple Bin under the red flag, no matter how evil they are.
It's just that my stomach is empty at night, so it's really hard.
The old man couldn't stand it for the first time, "Oh my god, people are made of iron, food is made of steel, there aren't even any wild vegetables in this place... I'll go to the village to find some food."
Zhou Qishan looked at the sky and time and saw that it was already late at night. He wanted to call the old man to stop him, but the old man had already rushed to the door of the mountain temple.
But at this moment, an old man's strange scream came from outside the door.
Zhou Qishan and the old lady walked out quickly.
Seeing that the old man was unharmed, he looked at the thing in front of him in surprise and uncertainty.
Zhou Qishan walked around and found that in front of him, there were two killed pheasants and some wild fruits neatly stacked together.
"My dear, is this the conscience of the people in the village?" The old man touched his chin.
Zhou Qishan checked the wild fruits and pheasant. The pheasant had several small teeth marks on its neck, and there were also some on the wild fruits.
"A small animal should have picked it up and put it here."
The three of them immediately thought of something, and the old man and the old woman stared at each other, "Young students, do your foxes here still repay kindness? It's strange..."
"Everything in this world has spirituality. Maybe that fox is particularly humane, but our dinner tonight is settled." Zhou Qishan said with a smile. He mentioned the pheasant. This pheasant is quite heavy, and it is enough.
It was about three kilograms, "Hey guys, it's just right for us to make a roast chicken. I'll show you my skills and I'll definitely satisfy you."
These wild fruits are common here in Jiulongyan, such as tiger thorn fruits, ground nuts, wild hawthorns and August melons. They are all appetizing, so you should eat some first."
The two elders both laughed and said, "Well, let me see how good you are at it. But such a pheasant is not enough for the three of us. I will go look for it in the forest and get something else!" As he said this, the old man strode out.
There was a mountain stream near the mountain temple, so Zhou Qishan simply went over to carry the pheasant there and plucked its feathers after school. The pheasant was very beautiful, and its scientific name was "Colorful Pheasant". It had a long tail. In the Northeast, the knob was also called dragon meat.
Zhou Qishan didn't even have a chance to taste it. He carried a knife with him, disembowelled the pheasant, washed the internal organs, found a nearby branch, and removed the upper branches. While he was handling it, he actually saw some fish from the mountain stream.
He actually swam over following the blood stains and the remains of internal organs.
The fish in the mountains are all a bit dull. Zhou Qishan lifted up the sharpened branch and stabbed it down. One stab at a time, and soon three or four big fish had been inserted. He also scraped the fish's scales and skewered them.
After getting up, he was satisfied and returned to the campfire with the fish and chicken.
When they arrived at the mountain temple, the old man had actually turned around and had already handled a rabbit skillfully. When he saw Zhou Qishan coming back, he said, "Hey, I got an unexpected reward!"
Zhou Qishan smiled and said, "With any luck, these should be enough to eat."
As if by magic, he took out a lot of spices and medicinal materials from his waist and started to cook them quickly. The two old men were dumbfounded, "You kid, you still carry these things with you when you go out?"
"At that time, I was on a mission outside and stayed in the field for more than ten days or several months. I didn't have to stop eating compressed biscuits. After confirming that there was no danger of exposure around me, I would also give my comrades some time.
Delicious food, this habit has been preserved to this day."
Thinking of his past years in the army, and those good comrades and brothers who had been with him through life and death, Zhou Qishan felt sincerely.
Zhou Qishan smiled and finished processing the ingredients on hand, then lit up the bonfire. The tongues of fire slightly licked the cooked ingredients, making a sizzling sound. Drops of grease slid down the branches and forks, and the tangy taste
The aroma made Zhou Qishan feel a little moved.
And at this moment, a few more uninvited guests came outside the mountain temple.
