my weird life.

Chapter 254 Money and Grain (12)

Hearing what Su Wu said,

Cui Yulan looked embarrassed, her cheeks were dizzy, she shook her head again and again, and stammered, "I, I didn't want to ask you to borrow money..."

Su Wu raised his eyebrows,
Looking at her, he said in a deep voice, "Even if you want to eat and drink, that's not acceptable!"

"..."

Cui Yulan opened her mouth.

She doesn't even have a relative to turn to now,

Originally, he wanted to rely on the strong man who had saved him and help him with some work. After the gang of thieves retreated from around the Shili River,

back home by itself,

Taking out some of the savings my parents had secretly stashed away...

But what Su Wu said right now made her hesitate.

Looking at the other party's attire, I know that Su Wu's life must be very difficult,
Now that all industries are deserted, how can there be so many jobs for people to do?
Manpower is the least valuable thing...

In this way, I followed others, nominally helping with some work, but in the end I was still 'eating and drinking'...

After long hesitation,

Cui Yulan mustered up her courage,

Looking up at Su Wu, she said in a soft voice: "The little girl has some savings at home, which are hidden in a place where the thieves in Heifengzhai can't find them.
This time I implore the strong man to take him in,

When the limelight passes, I would like to take out my family savings and give it to the strong man as a reward! "

Her family is fairly well-to-do.
Indeed, several slings of copper coins were hidden in a secret place by their parents.

After finishing speaking, Cui Yulan looked at Su Wu nervously,

I'm afraid that the other party still doesn't want to take me in.

In fact, she is so pretty,
Just find a random village and knock on the gate of a bachelor village man,

The probability of being taken in is almost ten to ten.

However, she still followed Su Wu carelessly, because she was giving money to the other collector, and she was willing to contribute to Su Wu's work. Naturally, the reason was that this man's eyes were unscrupulous, but his eyes were clean and clear.

Nothing for her.

This is enough to settle the heart of a broken woman like her.

"Do you really have savings?" Su Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Cui Yulan repeatedly.

"It's true." Cui Yulan nodded quickly.

"it is good.

Although our kitchen team is poor, it is not bad for you, a poor woman, to eat a few bites.

Come with you.

——Let’s go to your house to get the money tomorrow! "Su Wu nodded, and immediately responded to the matter.

Cui Yulan heard Su Wu's words pretending to be emotional,
But inside I can't laugh or cry,

But the other party finally took her in,
But she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed Su Wu and the two, saying, "Are you going to get the money tomorrow? Those thieves have occupied Shili River, but they may not be able to withdraw tomorrow...

Even if someone informs the government,

The officers and soldiers came,

Also get seven or eight days later. "

Seven or eight days later,

The thieves in Heifengzhai have long since eaten up and wiped themselves clean, and the soles of their feet have been smeared with oil!

"Precisely to choose tomorrow to pass,

——If you don’t feel tired,

When I go back and get my master back, if we have nothing to do, we can go to your village in the afternoon to take a look. "Su Wu said.

Cui Yulan raised her head slightly,
Looking at Su Wu's eyebrows,
Thinking of the unpredictable tricks the other party showed last night,

I also know that the other party has the ability,
Its proposal was not a joke with itself.

She thought about it seriously: "If the strong man has nothing to do, the little girl can take you to Shilihe in the afternoon!"

"This is the best!" Su Wu smiled.

-

The sun gradually rises,

The eastern sky is bright white.

The fat old man was sitting on a bamboo chair, staring until this moment.

The warm light of the sun, which is different from the stove fire, shines on him through the sparse shadows of the bamboo forest,
He twisted his stubby neck,
opened my eyes,
Watch the sun rise in the eastern sky.

A ghostly look.

"It's about time,
It's time to come back soon. " Li Yueshan muttered, cleared the phlegm accumulated in his throat, got up and scooped water from the bucket to wash his face, chewed the branches into silk, brushed his teeth,

There were still a few large bundles of firewood that were not used up last night.

Stacked by the stove.

Li Yueshan checked all his belongings - it was a poor village after all, even if some villagers ignored the overall situation and came to him to steal some rice grains to eat back, that was normal.

but,

The mileage here is really good,
Bind the villagers well.

So far Li Yueshan has never met anyone who came to steal anything.

It's not a big deal for a thief to steal some food.
He was mainly worried that those people didn't know anything, so they stole the soul-receiving rice home and cooked it - that rice was not only good for trapping tricks, but it was also very useful for collecting human lives!
"It would be great if we could build a kitchen..."

Li Yueshan muttered to himself.

In the past, their lineage of "Yinxi" established a kitchen village,
The disciples live together in a kitchen village, and they often accommodate people who come from south to north and have nowhere to stay.

Unfortunately, it is normal for things to turn from prosperity to decline.

The Yinxi branch can't escape this rule,
After all, because the stove couldn't be set up several times, it was gradually replaced by other stove king gods, and the inheritance gradually withered.

So much so that in the generation of Li Yueshan's master and wife, they didn't even have a place to stay.

Checked all kinds of things, nothing is missing,

Li Yueshan turned to the firewood stove,

Start filling the stove with firewood,
Boil a large pot of water,
Take out the pheasant yesterday,

Take a bath in the hot pot,

so easily pluck its feathers,

After plucking and cleaning,
He stewed the chicken in the pot,
Throw some spices that I collected and concocted to remove the smell,

The fire licks the dark bottom of the pot,
Bubbles bubbled out of the firewood pot,

Some froth rolled with the bubbles and gradually gathered.

Li Yueshan picked up the spoon,
Skim off the foam one by one.

Cover the pot,

Bring to a simmer.

The flame in the stove burns slowly,

The firewood was wrapped in flames, making the sound of 'bi peeling, bi peeling'.

The fat old man sat in front of the firewood stove,

After smoking a bag of cigarettes, he saw Su Wu leading Gou Sheng on the road to the east, and a tall woman in red striding over.

The girl in the red dress?

Li Yueshan raised his eyebrows, stood up,

Before he could ask,

Su Wu shook the food basket in his hand,

Smiling, he said, "Master, it's already done, that creepy one was imprisoned in the soul-shouling rice!"

"It's done?!"

Li Yueshan originally thought that there would be another delivery of rice,

Only in this way can the Tanjia Village be sealed up with the soul-recovering rice,

Unexpectedly, this apprentice's hand is so accurate, he weighed the weight of that weird fate once, and brought it back today!

"Let the old man see!"

He took the food basket from Su Wu's shoulder.

Opening the food basket, I saw a bowl of soul harvesting rice used to enshrine the 'Deceitful Opera Troupe', and I was not passive,

And another bowl of harvested soul rice,

has been completely 'steamed',
There was even a strong rancid smell!

Li Yueshan held the bowl of soul harvesting rice with a cloth and looked at the yellowed and dirty rice grains—even though there was a thick cloth between his palm and the porcelain bowl, he still felt the bone-chilling chill emanating from the porcelain bowl!
Sure enough, it was done!
The creepy one from Tanjia Village was imprisoned in this bowl of rice!

"Good good,

You are doing well!
Ah Wu! "

Li Yueshan wrapped the bowl of rice in cloth,
Carefully stowed away,

He repeatedly patted Su Wu on the shoulder, his eyes filled with love and appreciation: "It has always been difficult to be a rice delivery person in our kitchen team, but a good rice delivery person will definitely be in charge of the stove in the future!
Ah Wu——

You have done a great job!
When the stove is set up, there will be a reward for your first effort! "

After setting up the fire,

Will there be rewards?

I wonder if this reward is related to Lizao itself?

Su Wu's thoughts turned in his mind, he nodded with a smile in response, and took out more than a hundred copper coins that he had looted from Huang San from his bosom,
Handed it over to the master: "This was snatched from a thief on the road."

Looking at the string of copper coins reflecting the yellow light,
Li Yueshan frowned: "Thieves?
What happened to you last night? "

talking,
The fat old man turned to look at Cui Yulan,

Cui Yulan, who had been watching their conversation from behind, saw that the old man with the highest status here was looking at her, and hurriedly saluted: "Little girl has seen the master of the stove!"

The Kitchen God is widely spread in the local area.

Cui Yulan took a look around and understood what Su Wu and the others were doing.
It is even more judged that the fat old man is the head of the kitchen team.

Li Yueshan was full of concerns about Cui Yulan's identity,

— This woman appeared here in a wedding dress,

Anyone who sees it will feel strange.

but,

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man,
The woman's words and deeds are decent, and although she is wearing a tattered wedding dress, she doesn't look like a flirtatious woman.

Li Yueshan's expression turned pale, he nodded slightly, but turned around without saying anything to Cui Yulan.

Pointing to the copper coins in Su Wu's hand, he asked, "What are these coins?"

"That's it..." Su Wu told the whole story in detail.

of course,

Omitting the fact that he captured Huang San and Cui Yulan with ghostly hands,
Just say I'm smart,

Go around behind the two, stun them, and bring them back to the broken house.

——He had carefully discussed these remarks with Cui Yulan in secret, and there would be no mistakes.

after all,

Su Wu's jokes can be used to trick a boy like Gou Sheng,
For someone like Li Yueshan who runs the rivers and lakes, it is useless.

Su Wu explained the whole story,

Cui Yulan added another thing.

After learning what had happened, Li Yueshan took the string of copper coins from Su Wu's hand, grinned and said, "You can't keep windfall money in your hands, you have to spend it quickly.

The money was just used to buy some rice!
How did you deal with that bandit afterwards?

Ah Wu? "

The fat old man looked at Su Wu with a smile,

Su Wu looked at Cui Yulan,
Nodding to Cui Yulan.

"This person murdered the little girl's biological parents, and the little girl has killed her herself!"

Li Yueshan suddenly turned his head to look at Cui Yulan,

Surprised eyes: "The girl in the boudoir actually has such courage?!"

"Under the combination of grief and anger, the little girl didn't think too much about it." Cui Yulan bowed her head and saluted, "Now that I've come to my senses, I'm actually still a little scared."

"It's normal to be afraid."

Li Yueshan smiled indifferently,

His eyes lingered back and forth between Su Wu and Cui Yulan,
I don't know what I'm thinking about.

After a while,
He slowly said: "The various sects of our Stove King God Sect have their own rules, some prohibit women from joining the Stove Team, and some prefer women to be in charge of the Stove.
Some forbid men and women to marry, others forbid men to marry,

But such prosperity rules,

In our "Yin Xi" veins are not.

girl,

If you want to stay, then stay. "

"Ah, thank you Master Zhangzao, thank you Master Zhangzao!" Cui Yulan finally let go of the stone in her heart, and thanked Li Yueshan repeatedly, with tears in her eyes.

Su Wu said: "We don't have many sets of mattresses for resting here.

Cui Yulan's home is in Shilihe,

Those thieves had already retreated to the mountains and forests to hide.

How about after dinner later,
I went to her house with her to see if I could find two quilts to sleep back with.

What does Master think? "

"Alright, just go early and come back early.

It's so weird that I can start frying tomorrow. "Li Yueshan nodded indifferently.
