The Culinary Tycoon

Hearing that voice, both Yu Qingze and Chang Hao were stunned.

Chang Le rushed over, and the moment the boss in black grabbed Chang Hao's back collar, the parasol in his hand was also thrown out, hitting the man in black.He took advantage of the time when the man was avoiding the parasol, rushed over and pushed the man away.

With great strength and impatience, he pushed the man away by a foot.The man was caught off guard and was pushed so hard that he fell to the ground, stunned.

Chang Le quickly pulled Chang Hao up, looked up and down, and anxiously gesticulated to ask him how he was doing.

Chang Hao was still immersed in the shock of hearing his brother's voice just now, but now seeing his brother's gesture, he wondered if it was his hallucination just now?Didn't his brother call his name just now?Why now...

It took him a while to realize that the situation was critical, and he quickly said, "Brother, I'm fine, I just got hit on the back."

After hearing this, Chang Le breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged him tightly.

Over there, Yu Qingze was also stunned for a while and lost his mind. Just at that moment, the pole in his hand was thrown away by a man in black. The pain in his hand brought him back to his senses, and he quickly stretched out his arm to block The opponent's stick kicked another person into the air, and when he turned his head, he found that the boss in black had already got up, and angrily swung at Chang Le with a hatchet.

"Brother Le! Be careful!" Yu Qingze yelled, ignoring the stick behind him, and rushed towards Chang Le with the fastest speed in his history.

Chang Le and Chang Hao were thrown to the ground.

"Oh!" Yu Qingze snorted, feeling a stabbing pain in his left shoulder, being hit by a slash.

"Brother Yu!" Chang Hao yelled in surprise, and then saw the man in black coming from behind, he hurriedly yelled: "Be careful behind!"

Chang Le and his younger brother were thrown to the ground by Yu Qingze. At this time, he also saw the black-clothed boss attacking him again, so he stretched out his foot and kicked the black-clothed boss away temporarily, and then picked up the kitchen knife that his younger brother dropped on the ground. He threw it at that person.

The boss in black couldn't dodge in time, his left arm was cut wide by the flying kitchen knife, and blood gushed out immediately.

He got angry, and yelled at the stunned younger brothers behind: "What are you still doing stunned? Beat me to death!"

The group of younger brothers were stunned just now, but after being yelled at, they instantly regained their senses, and immediately came over with sticks.

At this time, the three of Yu Qingze got up, and the two brothers also found that Yu Qingze's left back shoulder had been cut off, and the exposed cut was bloody, and a large piece of his clothes were wet.

Chang Le's eyes turned red, and she picked up one of the parasols as a chest, blocking Yu Qingze and her younger brother behind her, with the air of being one man and one man.

Yu Qingze's left shoulder was in severe pain, but this was not the time to call it pain, and those people gathered around again.He bared his teeth, looked around, picked up a wooden barrel, and stood to Chang Le's left.Chang Hao also picked up a 'weapon', a small stool in his left hand, and a wooden basin in his right hand, as a shield for his chest.

"Go!" The boss in black clasped his left arm and roared angrily.

The group of younger brothers glanced at each other. The current situation had obviously exceeded their expectations, but the boss had spoken, and they rushed up together.

Yu Qingze and Chang Le blocked Chang Hao from behind, and started fighting with the masked man in black.

Chang Hao learned to be smart now, and followed Yu Qingze, throwing the stool and wooden basin in his hand at the enemy, and then picked up the stone on the ground and threw it at the enemy, trying to confuse the enemy's sight and let his side take advantage of it.

The chaotic situation continued for a while, until a figure appeared on the other side of the road.

That person is Yu Dahe from Niutou Village. He has been working as a porter on the pier in the north of the city for the past few days, and now the club has just finished work.

He was carrying a pole on his shoulder with a bag of things strung on it. When he saw someone fighting in front of him, he wanted to go around, but the next moment, he found that it was the two brothers Chang Le from the same village and Yu Qingze who lived in Chang Le's house. .

He immediately threw the bag away, ran over quickly with the pole, rushed into the fighting circle, and started beating people with the pole.

He was tall and tall, and he had developed tendons from doing farm work all year round. He was full of strength, and he was very rough in beating people.

People on both sides were a little confused at first, who is this person?

Chang Hao was the first to see who was coming, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Dahe!"

Yu Qingze and Chang Le looked over, and Dahe happened to meet them while fighting, and asked, "What's going on?"

Yu Qingze replied: "I don't know, he was a robber!"

Da He frowned, and didn't speak any more, but he used his hands more vigorously.

With Yu Dahe's help, Yu Qingze and the others gained momentum and quickly gained the upper hand.

Later, those few people were beaten so loudly that two of them couldn't hang their face towels off.

Dahe looked at the faces of those two people, frowning tightly.

Seeing that the situation was not good for them, the boss in black shouted angrily, "Let's go!"

The six men in black fled in desperation.

Yu Qingze and the others were relieved to see the man in black running away.

Chang Le threw away the parasol in his hand, and immediately walked to Yu Qingze's side. Seeing that the wound on his left shoulder was bleeding profusely, half of his clothes were stained red, he gestured anxiously to ask him how he was doing.

Chang Hao immediately ran over and said, "Brother Yu, how are you? My brother said that we should go to the city to find a doctor."

"Hiss..." His mind relaxed, and the pain on his shoulder became clear all at once. Yu Qingze frowned and looked back sideways, but he couldn't see clearly, but he thought it was only a flesh injury, not a bone injury.

"I'm fine, just a little injury." Compared to this injury, he was more concerned about another issue. He looked at Chang Le and said, "Brother Le, you called Xiao Hao just now, can you speak?"

Chang Hao was also very excited when he heard this, and said, "Yes, brother, can you talk now? Can you call me again?"

Chang Le looked at Yu Qingze, then at his younger brother, shook his head, and gestured: Did I just speak?

Yu Qingze: ...

Chang Hao: ...

Dahe at the side: Brother Le can talk?

Seeing Chang Le's confused face, Yu Qingze frowned and said hesitantly, "You, don't you know?"

Chang Le shook his head, he really didn't know.

Yu Qingze didn't give up, and asked again: "You really don't feel anything?"

Chang Le frowned. Only then did he realize that his throat was a little sore. He reached out to touch his throat, and then gestured.Chang Hao translated.

Yu Qingze's eyes lit up, "You have a sore throat? That's it, it means that you really made a sound just now."

Chang Le looked suspicious.

"Try again, can you tell me?" Yu Qingze encouraged again.

When Chang Hao heard this, his eyes lit up, shining brightly, looking at his brother expectantly.

Even Dahe is full of expectations.

Chang Le looked at the three of them, and his heart was a little moved. He opened his mouth and tried to say something, but his throat was sore, but he could only breathe out, and there was no sound.

Chang Le looked at the three of them apologetically, and shook his hand, expressing that he couldn't speak.

"Brother, try again?" Chang Hao grabbed his brother's arm and begged.

The longing in the younger brother's eyes was too obvious, Chang Le always loved his younger brother, so he tried to say it again, but the result was still the same.

Chang Hao's eyes dimmed, he thought that his brother would be able to talk in the future, he would be able to hear his brother calling his name every day, and he could chat with him...

Chang Le patted his younger brother's head, feeling sorry for him. He had experienced this kind of disappointment many times, so he couldn't make a sound. He was used to it, but it was just the same as usual.However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It was the first time that my younger brother had such hope, but I couldn't satisfy him.

Yu Qingze frowned, a little puzzled.

Dahe also looked a little disappointed and discouraged.

Chang Le glanced at them, smiled apologetically, then pointed to Yu Qingze's wound, and made two gestures.

Chang Hao: "Brother Yu, my brother said that we should hurry to the city and find a doctor for your injury."

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "You don't need to go to the city, this place is closer to the village, just go back and ask Doctor Yu to show you."

Chang Le looked at the wound, which was at least three inches long, shook his head in disagreement, and gestured that he must go to the city to find a doctor. Doctor Yu in the village didn't have all the herbs, so it would be better and more appropriate to have a doctor in the city.

Yu Qingze comforted him and said: "Brother Le, I'm fine, but I've been bleeding a lot from my hands just now, now you help me to bandage it briefly, I don't move around, and the bleeding will stop later. Let's pack up and go home, grandpa It's time to wait."

Yu Qingze simply took off his clothes, made them into long strips, wrapped around his shoulders, armpits and neck, and asked Chang Le to help him wrap up the wound.

Chang Le wrapped up the wound and looked at him with a frown. Such a big wound looked painful and terrible.

"It's really fine, I promise!" Yu Qingze patted Chang Le's arm, and said again: "But if I don't go back, my blood will bleed even more."

Hearing this, Chang Le nodded quickly, turned around and quickly picked up the things scattered on the ground and tidied them up again.

"This is your money bag, right?" Da He walked over carrying a money bag, which he just found on the ground.

"It's mine, thank you, Brother Dahe, if we hadn't met you today, we wouldn't have known what would have happened." Yu Qingze took the money bag and put it in his arms, thanking Dahe.

Dahe scratched his head, glanced at Chang Le, and said, "We are all from the same village, so you're welcome. Go back quickly, your wound is quite long, and you need to deal with it quickly."

Yu Qingze nodded.

Chang Le put away his things and came over, gestured to Dahe, and Chang Hao said he wanted to thank Dahe.

Da He glanced at Chang Le, then lowered his head, waved his hands and said in a low voice, "No, you're welcome."

Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows, why did he feel that Dahe...

After everything was packed, Dahe helped them pull the cart, Chang Le pulled the cart, and they walked home.

Along the way, Yu Qingze didn't think about being robbed, but kept thinking about Chang Le.

In fact, Chang Le's pronunciation before was not clear, it was more like the pronunciation of 'ao', but Yu Qingze knew in his heart that in that situation, Chang Le must be calling his younger brother's name - 'Hao'.

He always thought that Chang Le was born unable to speak, but unexpectedly, he could.

but……

However, judging from the attempt just now, Chang Le can't speak anymore.

Yu Qingze glanced at Chang Le who was walking ahead with a small cart, and frowned slightly.

Chang Le's voice before... Well, that voice is really not pleasant, rough, hoarse, like a dilapidated blower being turned on, and like a lot of coarse sand being stirred in a pot, even though Yu Qingze is wearing a thick filter , I am ashamed to say that the voice is good, not even a smoky voice.

However, for a person who has been unable to speak all year round, even if the voice is unpleasant, it is beautiful at this moment.

Yu Qingze thought for a while, this kind of voice, if I guessed correctly, it should be due to injury to the vocal cords.Just don't know what kind of injury can cause a person to lose his voice?

He looked again at Chang Hao who was closely following Chang Le.

The little boy was obviously very shocked that his brother was able to speak, but after just now, he was disappointed again, and now he just walked quietly with Chang Le, looking at his brother from time to time, the expression on his face was very tangled, he probably wanted to What questions to ask but don't know whether to ask or not.

To find time, I need to talk to Grandpa Chang to understand, and then invite a better doctor to show Chang Le.Yu Qingze thought to herself.

I thought about things in a mess all the way, and I got home before I knew it.

When he got home, Grandpa Chang saw that half of Yu Qingze's body was covered in blood, and he was startled. Knowing that something had happened, he hurriedly asked Dahe to call for a doctor, then went to the kitchen to fetch a basin of water, wrung out the cloth towel and wiped Yu Qingze's face first. Face.

"What's going on? How did you get such a serious injury?" Seeing the blood all over his body, Grandpa Chang frowned tightly.

Chang Le went to the kitchen to wash his hands and face, then went back to the main room to take the cloth towel from Yu Qingze's hand, and brought another basin of water to wipe off the blood on Yu Qingze's back.He didn't move the clothes covering the wound, and the doctor didn't come. He was afraid that he would bleed again as soon as he took it off.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Brother Le." Yu Qingze thanked Chang Le, and then said to Grandpa Chang: "When I came back, I encountered robbers."

"Robbered?" Grandpa Chang was surprised, "For so many years, I rarely heard of anyone being robbed on this road."

Yu Qingze said: "Maybe it's the Ghost Festival."

Grandpa Chang was silent for a while, and then said: "Hey, next time you encounter robbers, you can directly give them the money. Those people will not die. Money is outside the body, and your body is the most important thing!"

Chang Hao also came over after washing his face. Hearing this, he replied: "No, Grandpa, Brother Yu also gave them the money first."

Grandpa Chang was puzzled, "Then why are you still injured?"

Chang Hao said angrily: "Those people want to keep my brother!"

Grandpa Chang was stunned for a moment, and then became angry, "What? Those bandits, those bastards..."

Grandpa Chang was so angry that he couldn't complete his words, and his hands kept shaking.

Chang Hao said again: "So Big Brother Yu started fighting with them!"

Grandpa Chang looked at Chang Le, his grandson was in front of him, and he was not injured, then he turned his head and gratefully grabbed Yu Qingze's hand, and thanked him: "Ah Ze, thank you so much, thank you for being here, otherwise, otherwise ..."

As he said that, Grandpa Chang's eyes turned red. He couldn't imagine that if Chang Le was killed by those bandits...

"Grandpa, don't thank me, it's the right thing to do." Yu Qingze patted Grandpa Chang's hand with his right hand to comfort the old man.

Chang Hao said again: "Grandpa, I also want to thank Brother Dahe, he helped us drive away the bandits."

"Okay, okay, grandpa will thank him later." Grandpa Chang patted his grandson's head and replied.

After a while, Dahe arrived with the doctor.

The doctor over there cleaned Yu Qingze's wound and applied medicine to bandage it.Here, Grandpa Chang gave Dahe a good meal to thank him.

Dahe is a simple and straightforward man, usually he is relatively silent in the village, he doesn't say polite words, he just keeps waving his hands, saying no thanks.

After the doctor applied the medicine and bandaged it, he prescribed a prescription for Chang Le to follow him back to get the medicine. In hot weather, he should drink some medicine to prevent infection.

Da He has been waiting by the side, and when the doctor and Chang Le left, he did not go back.

Grandpa Chang sent the doctor away, and then said to Dahe, "Dahe, you have worked hard today, so stay for dinner tonight."

"I won't eat." Dahe shook his head, was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked Yu Qingze: "Well, brother Aze, did you offend someone?"

Yu Qingze raised his eyes and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Da He frowned and replied, "There are two people whose facecloths fell off. I recognize them. They are punks who have been hanging out in the city all year round. When did you offend them?"

Yu Qingze was puzzled: "Little gangster? Not a bandit?"

Da He replied with certainty: "No, they are just punks. I can often see them at the pier."

Isn't the bandit turned out to be a gangster?

Yu Qingze frowned and said, "We didn't offend anyone. If we had to say it, someone came to our food stall to make trouble yesterday and wanted to extort money, but we broke it when we failed."

Grandpa Chang guessed: "It may be a gang, but it may not be."

Da He frowned, and said: "As far as I know, those gangsters never pay for their food, they eat free food blatantly, they don't deliberately find fault with extorting money, they ask for money directly, and they don't hide their faces Well, many small bosses on the street dare not speak out, but they don’t dare to offend them, for fear of getting into trouble with them and there will be endless trouble.”

Hearing this, Yu Qingze couldn't help thinking.

According to Dahe, the behavior of those gangsters today is very weird, and they are usually fearless, so why are they covering their faces and extorting money today?and……

Yu Qingze recalled that at the beginning, the little gangster didn't seem to have Chang Le's idea, and the boss started to watch Chang Le after watching him simply give the money.

I feel that the purpose of those gangsters is neither money nor happiness.If they wanted money, they should have let them go when they took the money, but if not, then...

With a move in his heart, Yu Qingze narrowed his eyes gloomyly, and unconsciously clenched his right fist.

The thieves and vegetable bugs are finding fault, and now they are beating people. It seems that their food stalls are in the way of some people's eyes!

Yu Qingze snorted coldly in his heart, a tree lives with a skin, and a person lives with a breath, the more this is the case, the more he wants to continue to develop the food stall, not only continue to do it, but also make it bigger, better and stronger!

Seeing his gloomy expression, Grandpa Chang asked, "Ah Ze, did you think of something?"

Yu Qingze came back to his senses and said, "Grandpa, I probably know what's going on. The food stalls are doing well, and some people don't like it."

"So that's how it is." Grandpa Chang frowned and said worriedly, "What are you going to do after that?"

There have been many accidents in the past few days, and he can't do without worrying.

Yu Qingze pondered for a while, and then said: "It's okay, I will find a way, don't worry. Anyway, I was injured, and I will rest in the next few days."

Grandpa Chang nodded, "You need to take a good rest, this wound is so deep, you can't mess around."

Yu Qingze agreed, thought for a while, then turned to Dahe and said, "Dahe, are you still going to the pier tomorrow?"

Da He nodded, "I'm going."

"I want to ask you one thing."

"You said."

"Please tell the tea egg seller next to our food stall when you go tomorrow, that I am injured and need to rest for a few days, and the sour peppers I promised to bring to him will not be given to him until a few days later. You know we Where is the food stand?

Dahe nodded and said, "Okay. I know."

After finishing talking, Dahe went back, and Grandpa Chang couldn't keep the meal.Looking at Dahe's back, Grandpa Chang shook his head and sighed.

When Chang Le came back with the medicine, he boiled a pack of medicine first, and then the whole family had dinner.

After dinner, Yu Qingze unloaded the things on the cart and took an inventory.The wooden tub was broken and had to be redone; the parasol that Chang Le used as a weapon was also broken, so he had to buy a new one; The wooden barrel that Yu Qingze used to fight was very strong and not broken.

Anyway, he had to rest for a few days, so he was not in a hurry.

Because of his shoulder injury, he took a half-body shower at night, and could only wipe off his upper body.

When he came out of the shower and Chang Le went to take a shower, Chang Hao secretly pulled him into the room, and asked him in a low voice, very confused: "Brother Yu, do you want to tell grandpa about my brother?"

Yu Qingze raised her eyebrows: "Don't you want Grandpa to know?"

Chang Hao pursed his lips and said, "I don't want Grandpa to be disappointed." He had tasted disappointment before, and he didn't want Grandpa to be like him.

Yu Qingze touched his head and said, "I think it's better for us to tell Grandpa about this."

Chang Hao looked at him, a little embarrassed, "But, grandpa will definitely be sad."

Yu Qingze asked: "Did Grandpa explain to you why your brother can't speak?"

Chang Hao frowned and said: "Grandpa said, my brother was able to talk before, but he was injured once when he was a child, and he couldn't talk anymore. He didn't say how he was injured, and he didn't allow me to ask my brother. I never asked. "

Yu Qingze was silent, thinking that Grandpa Chang once said that Chang Le's injury was suffered during the turmoil, so maybe his throat was also injured at that time?

"Brother Yu, can my brother's throat still be cured?" Chang Hao asked with his head raised, his eyes were disturbed, and there was a little expectation.

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "I don't know, but we can try. In short, we should listen to what Grandpa has to say about this, huh?"

Chang Hao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, I see."

"Brother Yu, I really wish my brother could talk. He only called me once today, and I still want to hear him call my name and talk to him." Chang Hao looked up at Yu Qingze, his eyes filled with expectation .

Yu Qingze patted his head and said: "So we have to ask Grandpa what's going on, and we can find a way to help your brother after we know the reason. In addition, we need to find a doctor to show your brother's throat."

Chang Hao was very urgent, "When?"

Just as Yu Qingze was about to answer, Grandpa Chang's voice came over.

"What are you two doing in the room? Ze, come out to drink some medicine." Grandpa Chang yelled in the main room with a bowl of Chinese medicine on the table.

Yu Qingze responded, and pulled Chang Hao out of the house.

After drinking the medicine, Yu Qingze pulled Grandpa Chang to sit down, and then he and Chang Hao sat opposite Grandpa Chang, with very serious expressions.

Grandpa Chang was a little confused: "You guys, what's the matter?"

Yu Qingze was still thinking about what to say, but Chang Hao had already said it.

"Grandpa, my brother called me by my name today, he called me 'Hao'!"

Grandpa Chang was shocked. He looked at Chang Hao and then at Yu Qingze. Seeing that both of them were very serious, he confirmed, "Xiao Le, did he talk? With his mouth? Did he make a sound?"

Both nodded.

Grandpa Chang frowned, and his expression became serious, "Did something happen to your fight in the evening? Tell me about it."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze and Chang Hao looked at each other, and then he said, "It's like this..."

Yu Qingze narrated the process, Grandpa Chang didn't speak for a long time after listening, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Ugh……"

This sigh is full of helplessness and vicissitudes.

Yu Qingze said: "Grandpa, Brother Le, why can't he speak? Judging from today, he saw that Xiaohao was in danger and was stimulated, so he suddenly made a sound, and he didn't even realize that he was He yelled. Then the little bastard ran away, and we asked him to talk again, but he couldn't speak."

Grandpa Chang sighed again when he heard the words, and said, "I didn't want Xiaohao to know about this, but I didn't expect it to be encountered by you."

Both of them sat upright, waiting for Grandpa Chang to tell the story.

Grandpa Chang took his pipe, lit it, took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, and then said: "There is an older brother above Xiaohao, named Xiaohai, the second child, who is three years younger than Xiaole .”

Chang Hao opened his eyes wide. This was the first time he heard that he had an older brother.

Grandpa Chang: "At that time, the war spread to our hometown, and everywhere was in chaos. I heard that the south is much better. More than 20 households in our village were planning to move together. There were several riots on the way, and several households were scattered. There was a riot. , Xiao Le's youngest was taken away, Xiao Le and I, his father and Ah Mo rushed to rescue them, handed the two children to his uncle to watch over, but didn't want to wait for us to rescue his youngest, Xiao Le Xiaohai and Xiaohai disappeared. When we found them, Xiaohai was out of breath, and Xiaole fell to the ground covered in blood, and passed out."

"Xiao Le's forehead was seriously injured, and he almost lost his breath several times. Fortunately, his life was so bad that he narrowly saved his life. When he woke up, he couldn't speak, and we couldn't find out what happened. gone."

"Later we moved here. For two full years after that, Xiao Le was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul. Because he couldn't speak and had a bruise on his forehead, he was often bullied by children. He didn't go out and didn't play with other children. It wasn't until Xiaohao was born that his condition improved. He hugged his younger brother every day and stayed by Xiaohao's side every day. It can be said that Xiaohao was brought by his big."

Chang Hao's mouth opened wide, and tears fell down. It turned out that his brother had suffered so much before.

The fact that Yu Qingze was dumb and Chang Le lost his voice was obviously something that happened in that accident that greatly stimulated him, and this incident should be Xiao Hai's death.

Looking at the gentle and kind Chang Le now, I can't imagine how he spent his childhood like that.He also couldn't imagine how Chang Le transformed his autistic personality into what he is today, but after thinking about it for a while, he knew that there must be a lot of bitterness in it.

Yu Qingze felt a burst of soreness in her heart, and her heart ached for Chang Le.

"Xiao Le also made a noise a few years ago." The two hadn't recovered from what they heard just now, and Grandpa Chang said another thing that surprised them.

Grandpa Chang didn't wait for them to ask, and said: "When Xiao Hao was two years old, his father and grandma went back to their hometown to worship their ancestors during Qingming, but they didn't expect that when they went, they would be separated forever. At that time, Xiao Le saw him The coffins of Dad and Ah Mo were shouted out. The situation is similar to today, and he didn’t even know about it afterwards.”

Yu Qingze asked: "Did you see the doctor for him?"

Grandpa Chang nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "I've seen it, it's useless. The doctor said that I was greatly stimulated. Whether I can recover depends on God's will. There is no good way. Xiao Le won't let me do it again. I'm looking for a doctor."

Yu Qingze wanted to say something else, when there was a noise in the kitchen, and Chang Le came out of the shower, so he quickly stopped talking.

When Chang Le arrived in the main room, he saw his brother burst into tears and threw himself into his arms and hugged him.

Chang Le was baffled, hugged his younger brother's shoulders, and looked at Grandpa and Yu Qingze puzzledly.

Grandpa Chang said calmly, "He misses your father and Ah."

Hungry Ghost Festival is coming soon, and it is normal to think of relatives who have passed away.Chang Le patted his younger brother's shoulder lightly, soothing him gently.

He can't replace Daddy and Ahma's love for their children.

When going to bed at night, Yu Qingze told Grandpa Chang that he wanted to take Chang Le to see the doctor again to see if there was any change.

Grandpa Chang said, if you can convince Xiao Le, go for it.

Yu Qingze was silent, and he was not sure about convincing Chang Le.But he took this matter to heart.

On the second day, it continued to rain heavily in the afternoon, bringing some coolness to the hot summer.

They steam the noodle cakes at home.Noodle cake is a kind of sacrifice used in the sacrifice here. The dough is made into the shape of pigs, cattle, sheep and fish, steamed and sacrificed to the ancestors, so that they can also herd pigs, cattle and sheep in another world, and have more than enough every year.

On the day of the Ghost Festival, Yu Qingze followed Chang Le's family to the mountain to worship.

Chang Le's father and Ah Mo were buried together, on the sunny slope of the mountain at the back connected to Niutou Mountain, and Chang Le's youngest was also buried on that slope.They have to follow the mountain road by the creek through the valley and then climb up the mountain.

Chang Le walked in front carrying a dung skip, in which there were sacrifices for sacrifices, with incense sticks and paper money at one end, and various offerings at the other end.

Chang Hao and him followed, with Grandpa Chang walking at the end.

It was his first time entering this mountain, and he looked around curiously from time to time.

Because it rained yesterday, the ground is still a little wet, and with dead branches and leaves, it is easy to slip under our feet.

"Hey, Aze, be careful." Yu Qingze didn't pay attention to one of his feet and almost slipped and fell. Fortunately, Grandpa Chang behind him helped him stabilize his body.

Chang Le and Chang Hao glanced back, and Chang Hao warned: "Brother Yu, the road is slippery, be careful."

Yu Qingze nodded, he was, well, he just looked around and didn't look at the road much, so he slipped.

Now he didn't dare to look around, and focused on the road under his feet.

Soon we arrived at the hillside behind. There were many graves on this side of the slope. Along the way, some villagers were already offering sacrifices.

The graves of Chang Le's youngest and father are close to each other, only 30 meters apart, and there is a small forest behind them.

Chang Le and Chang Hao took out the sacrifices and offerings and began to worship. Grandpa Chang took a machete and cut off some messy bushes and thorns beside the grave, and Yu Qingze picked up a hoe to help Grandpa Chang hang up all the branches he had cut. .

When the two brothers Chang Le and Chang Le almost burned the paper, and Grandpa Chang also burned the paper, Yu Qingze also walked over, kowtowed three times to Chang Le's father and Ah Mo, offered incense and melted the paper, and silently thanked the two said something.

The two Chang Le brothers were a little moved, and Yu Qingze, an outsider, didn't need to do this.

How did they know that Yu Qingze was actually a little cautious in his heart. Although he didn't say it, he told the two elders in his heart that he had communicated with the two elders in advance and appointed Le Geer to him.

When it came to Chang's youngest, it was the same, but this time, Grandpa Chang stayed for a long time, and his eyes were a little moist.

I want to be the youngest.

The three juniors silently waited for him.

When going down the mountain, when passing a bend in the valley, Chang Hao pointed to a landslide ahead obliquely and said, "Brother Yu, look, you were stuck there before."

Yu Qingze looked towards the place where Chang Hao pointed. It was a slope opposite the creek. There are also traces of digging.And in the open space by the creek two meters away, two large stones were rolled aside, and there were obvious mud marks on them.

The scene of the crash.

Now, Yu Qingze finally saw the 'so-so big' boulder that the little boy Changhao gestured to him when he woke up.He also finally knew that the little boy really didn't lie.

It is really big, it is estimated that two adults need to hug each other, and it is also very tall.And to move them out of the half-buried soil, Yu Qingze felt that at least all the surrounding soil should be cleared away, and then a crane should be used.

But looking at those two pits, it was completely pulled out of the stones directly!

His gaze unconsciously looked over as usual, those two thin arms, that thin body, why did they have so much strength? !

No wonder Chang Hao praised his brother to him so proudly, he really wasn't just bragging.

Speaking of that day, Yu Qingze suddenly remembered something.

"Grandpa, are there many fungi on the mountain?"

Grandpa Chang nodded, "Yes, it rained yesterday, there should be some on the mountain, and there are usually a lot of them in the fir forests on both sides of the creek below. Why, do you want to eat fungus?"

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "Don't you still have half of the chicken at home? I just wanted to pick up some mushrooms and stew them together. The taste will be very good."

Grandpa Chang waved his hand and said, "I'll pick it up, you guys go back first."

"Grandpa, I'm going too." Chang Hao was very positive when he heard that there was something delicious.

Yu Qingze also smiled and said, "I want to see it too."

Grandpa Chang simply said: "Then go together!"

So saying, he took the lead and went into the fir forest.

It was the first time for Yu Qingze to pick up fungi.

So when he found that Chang Le and Grandpa Chang picked up a bunch of them casually picking in the grass, he suspected that he was lame!

The dead leaves and weeds in the forest are very thick, and the fir tree fungus grows in the same color as those dead leaves, so it is really hard to find it.

Grandpa Chang taught him the secret, saying to look at the foot of the fir tree and the haystack, where the fir tree fungus is located.

but!

Yu Qingze felt like his eyes were going to pop out of his sockets, where are the bacteria? !

Isn't it all dead grass and leaves? !

After searching for at least half an hour, Yu Qingze couldn't find a single fungus!

special mourning...

Also lame was the young boy Chang Hao, but he found it before Yu Qingze.

"Hahaha, I found it, I found it! Brother Yu, I'm faster than you!" Chang Hao bent down to pick a fungus, and held it up to show off to Yu Qingze proudly.

Yu Qingze: ...I'm afraid I'm not really lame!

Grandpa Chang and Chang Le looked at them and smiled, but ignored them, and each carried a dung skip to pick them up happily.

If you count on those two people, you won't be able to get a meal until dark!

Although Yu Qingze is lame in picking up mushrooms, he found a good thing—— jelly fruit!
