Reverend Insanity: Section 117: Bitter shellfish and swallowing river toad
The atmosphere in the hall is so solemn. [* 悠]
A lot of old people sat silently, their faces were indifferent, or gloomy, or heavy.
The patriarch Gu Yuebo was sitting on the main seat, and it was difficult to hide his sorrow: "Three days ago, a river-swallowing toad appeared near the village at the foot of the mountain. This toad appeared to flow up from the Huanglong River and inadvertently fell. Here. It is now blocking a river and sleeping in it. If you let it go, the cottage will be in crisis at all times. Any old people here, what are the good strategies to drive this toad away? "
You look at me at home, I see you, no one speaks for a while.
The toad swallowing the river is a five-turned roundworm. It has great power and opens up. If this matter is not handled well, it will anger it. I am afraid that most of the Qingmao Mountain will be flooded and the entire cottage will be washed down.
For a long time, Gu Yue Chilian said, "The matter is serious and must be resolved as soon as possible. Once the news is leaked out, maybe there will be deliberate spies, come secretly, deliberately provoking the river toad and framing me. The ancient moon family. "
"The Chilian practitioners are always right." Gu Yuemochen nodded. Although he was a political opponent of Guyue Chilian, at this crucial moment in the life and death of the village, he completely let go of his prejudices.
After a pause, he continued: "There is a more serious situation. Once Qingjiang Mountain is swallowed by the river toad, the wolf nest will be submerged. In order to escape, the wolves will naturally migrate up the mountain. Go there At that time, the wolf tide is about to erupt in advance. We have to compete with countless beasts for the living space on the top of the mountain. "
The old people heard this. All looked pale.
Gu Yuebo added with a heavy tone: "Don't forget, the foundation of our village. The original generation of ancestors built the cottage here because of the Lingquan under our feet. Once the water flooded Qingmao Mountain , I'm afraid this Lingquan will also be destroyed. "
"How can this be all right?"
"Well ... even if it resists the beast tide and survives on the top of the mountain. After the flood recedes, the spiritual spring disappears, a large number of beasts perish, and the surrounding area is barren. Resources for spiritual practice will be seriously insufficient."
"If you want to die alone, why not ask Xiongjiazhai and Baijiazhai for help? Everyone is three grasshoppers tied to a line. I don't believe they can't do anything!"
Everyone in the house whispered, panicking. Some people have begun to ask for reinforcements.
"It's too early to ask for help." Gu Yuebo shook his head and immediately denied the idea. "It's not the hardest time yet. When a generation of ancestors just set up a cottage. A five-turn blood river python attacked the cottage. It was beheaded by a generation of patriarchs. Compared to the blood river python, swallowing the river toad is much more lovely. "
"It has a mild spleen temperature and is innocent to mortal people. Only when you feel the breath of other maggots will you be vigilant. After being hit hard, you will become angry and spit water. I happened to have heard the chief clan say Yes. There are rumors about Jiang Chanchan ... "
Gu Yuebo talked in the lobby. The voice was slowly.
The old people listened intently, with a nervous expression on their faces. Could not help but soothe.
"It is indeed the patriarch. With a few words, the military heart is stabilized." Gu Yue Yao Ji noticed the change of atmosphere, looked at Gu Yuebo deeply, and sighed in her heart.
"If the patriarch just said, it would not be difficult to drive this toad tortured Jiang Chan," said one old man.
"You can't say that." Gu Yuebo shook his head. "These are just rumors. I haven't seen them in person, and I haven't practiced them. It's a big deal and it's not sloppy. I think I will send a group of mentors for the time being Try it first. "
Everyone nodded.
Gu Yuechi practiced: "To do this, I must be a person with a red vein. If he doesn't, I'm afraid no one in my clan will do it."
Others know who Chi Lian is talking about, and they all agree.
The patriarch Gu Yuebo smiled and said, "In this case, let the Chishan team take a walk."
...
It's early autumn, and the weather is gradually getting cooler.
Fang Yuan was sitting alone in the restaurant next to the window, drinking wine quietly.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant stands beside him, bowing his knees.
"Treasurer, I asked about the bitter shellfish a few days ago. Do you have any eyebrows?" Fang Yuan asked.
Fang Yuan Hejiu Brew Worm has a bitter liquor.
However, bitter wine is hard to find. Previously, because of the relationship between red iron relics, he attracted people's attention. Whenever he went, he was pointed. Therefore, it is not easy to inquire about bitter wine.
It is these days that the storm is gradually calming down. Maybe if it is extremely Thai, Fang Yuan inadvertently heard a hint of bitter wine.
The owner of the shopkeeper replied quickly: "Oblique son, you want me to ask about the bitter shellfish, someone has tasted it in Baijiazhai. The raw material of this wine is a shell in the deep lake. This kind of shell, The body is dark, and there are white lines on the shell, like tree rings. We call it bitter shell. Ordinary shells can brew pearls. It eats the sand and stones in the water, but it can only dissolve the sand and stones and turn them into Bitter water. Some people pry open its shell and get this bitter water for making wine. The brewed bitter shell wine is bitter and fragrant and very unique.
Fang Yuan heard the words and raised his eyebrow slightly: "So, is there such a bitter cider in Baijiazhai?"
The shopkeeper hastily stooped down: "The villain didn't dare to guarantee it, only occasionally I heard people talk about it. But to be honest, Baijiazhai is really famous, or Bailiangye. This wine and my family Green bamboo wine, Xiongjiazhai's bear bile wine, and also known as the green spear three wine. Bitter shellfish ... I feel that even if there is even Baijiazhai, there is not much. "
"Not much, you have to look for it," Fang Yuan said.
But this matter is troublesome. In recent years, Baijiazhai has shown signs of gradually rising, and has gradually shaken the position of the traditional hegemon of the ancient moon cottage.
Fang Yuan had to enter Baijiazhai without permission. I'm afraid he had been killed by the guarded patrol Baijiazhang before he saw the gate of the cottage.
But even so, Fang Yuan wants to try it out. After all, this bitter shellfish is much more reliable than green wormwood, which is 100,000 miles away.
Return to your thoughts. Fang Yuan found that the owner of the shopkeeper was still standing beside him. He waved his hand and said, "Well, go on, there is nothing for you here."
The old man didn't leave, hesitant expression appeared on his face, and he stopped talking.
Finally, he called up the courage: "Son, can you bring this wine shop back again. Little and all of you guys want to work under you. You do n’t know, as soon as the old owner comes back. Just deduct After paying more than half of our remuneration, it is very difficult for young people to feed their families by relying on only a little Yuanshi per month. "
Fang Yuan shook his head, expressionless: "I have sold this wine shop to him, as agreed, it will not come back. Furthermore, I do not want to run this wine shop business. You go down."
"But. Shaodong's ..." The old man stopped still.
Fang Yuan frowned unhappyly: "Remember, I'm not your young owner anymore!"
He previously raised pay for these people. But they want to mobilize their passion for work. For your own use. These people thought he was good at talking, so they had to go in.
I can only be self-sufficient by selling live leaves. I have been annoyed by bitter wine, why should I go back to the wine shop for these people?
"But Shaodong's family, we really can't live! You have great mercy and pity on us." The shopkeeper thumped and fell to his knees. Begging.
The ringing immediately attracted the attention of alcoholic drinkers around.
Fang Yuanha sneered. Pick up the jar on the table and smash it on the head of the shopkeeper.
Exaggerated.
Suddenly. The altar was broken, the drinks were splashing, and the old man's head was bleeding.
"I thought I didn't dare to kill you? Things that didn't wink, get out." Fang Yuan's eyes were cold and radiant.
The old shopkeeper was shocked by this murderous spirit, and he shivered suddenly, woke up suddenly, and hurriedly retreated.
No matter what the world is, there is always a group of the weak, begging for the alms of the strong, and they are ignorant of their faces. It seems that helping them is the style of the strong, and not helping them is wrong.
The weak should have the look of the weak, either confess their fate, be humble as slaves, or work hard and work low-key.
The help of the strong to the weak is just alms in good mood.
The weak do not work hard, begging the strong to face the dead, and there must be a result, tangled. It is right to be rejected.
People who are willing to be weak and who do not work spontaneously, but just want to beg from the strong, are not worthy of sympathy.
"The shopkeeper's ..."
"Quickly dress the wounds of the shopkeeper."
Guys are busy around the blood-stained old man.
The shopkeeper old man is just a mortal, even if it is killed on the spot, it does not matter.
This is the end of the event, and the alcoholic drinkers around are suddenly bored. They all look back and continue their conversation.
"Did you know? Something big has happened recently!"
"Do you mean the toad who swallowed Jiang Jiang, who doesn't know about it now?"
"This is a five-round maggot, if not handled properly, I am afraid there will be a crisis of extermination!"
"It is said that this river toad swallows water and feeds on it. When you are hungry, open your mouth wide and swallow a river directly!"
"If it is angry, it can flood Qingmao Mountain, and its power is terrifying, I'm afraid we all must die!"
"What can I do?"
"Well, it depends on how the senior family members handle it. We can't escape anyway, where can we escape?"
...
There is an atmosphere of panic and confusion in the wine shop.
"Do you swallow Jiang Chan ..." Fang Yuan listened, a smile in his heart.
Fear is contagious, and it spreads more and more.
Actually, Yan Jiangchan's temperament is very mild and not terrible. It is naturally lethargic, and people often see swallowing river toads flowing in the river. They tend to sleep with their white belly up and lying on their backs.
Sometimes I woke up and swallowed Jiang's belly. After full, continue to sleep.
They are not interested in fighting and killing. If they encounter an enemy, the first reaction is to escape. Unless they are in desperation and can't be avoided, they will fight back fiercely.
They are so powerful that they can gush out a long river with a single mouth. The river swept the earth, and in a short time, a country of Ze is created.
"This swallowed river toad should be asleep. With the water of the Huanglong River, it inadvertently entered a tributary, and was brought to the foot of Qingmao Mountain by the waves." Fang Yuan guessed the fact.
