devil's son

Contrary to his usual sluggish movements, Dongzai let go of the gourd ladle, his two bony little gestures were like lightning, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his big dark eyes. The gills of a large goldfish.

The two ghost fishes have only swallowed six fresh human lives, and their strength has soared. They sensed that there was a place nearby that was extremely dark, which was very suitable for them to live in, so they followed the dark energy and came to temporarily hibernate in the water of Dongzai's house. in the tank.

After the winter cub approached the water tank, the two ghost fish seemed to smell the most delicious food in the world, and uncharacteristically launched an attack, but they were easily restrained by a cub.

The two ghost fishes seemed to realize that they had encountered a ruthless character, and twisted their tails desperately to struggle. The mouths of the fish opened and closed screamed harshly, a layer of mist appeared on the fish, and the golden fish scales began to slow down. Slow atomization.

Want to run?

Dong Zai tilted his head, he didn't know what ghost fish was or not, he just instinctively felt that these two fish looked delicious, um, better than chicken cakes.

Children are bound to be greedy for food, and the winter cubs are no exception.

These two big golden fish look delicious, but Dongzai has been taught since he was a child not to eat food randomly or eat raw food.

Dong Zai was in a bit of a dilemma, his fleshy cheeks slowly swelled up, his dark pupils, which were already bigger than ordinary people, actually filled his entire eye sockets, his fingertips trembled slightly, and the strength in his hands increased a little bit unconsciously .

puff.

After a clear sound, one of the big fish hung its beautiful tail and completely stopped moving. Its body was replaced by a dense black mist, which poured into Dong Cub's palm.

Dongzai felt as if a gust of cool water flowed into his body, very comfortable, so comfortable that he couldn't help but slowly narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a pair of small pear dimples loomed.

Another ghost fish pretending to be dead took the opportunity to struggle desperately, and the winter cub lost its grip. The ghost fish managed to get rid of his control, turned into a cloud of dark fog and flew out in a panic...

"what--"

There was a shrill scream from outside, Dong Cub burped in satisfaction, spread out his thin paws, and there was a half-inch-long pure white stone fish in the palm of his hand, a small fish It is extremely delicate, the scales on the body are clearly visible, there are two small beards on the mouth, and the tail is slightly raised, as if it will swim away at any time.

The small stone fish does not feel ice at all, but has a warm feeling. The body temperature of the winter cub is far lower than that of ordinary people. He likes the warm touch very much. He played with the small stone fish and put the small fish Stuck it in the small pocket of his jacket.

Continue to scoop water, brush your teeth and wash your face, and paw and paw the ugly watermelon head.The whites of the eyes of the child in the reflection of the water basin gradually revealed, and the pupils returned to their former state.

After tidying himself up, Dongzai took a small stool to the old locust tree in the yard. He pawed in the grass under the tree for a while, and soon found another small warm stone fish.

Picking it up, putting it in his pocket, touching it from time to time, Dong Zai obediently sat under the old locust tree waiting for today's breakfast.

The meal just now was a snack, not a meal.

The winter cubs can be clearly distinguished.

So, when Grandma Sun woke up, she saw her precious son sitting under the tree, and her eyes lit up when she saw her.

"Good boy, you must be starving, right? It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Mom will make you fried egg noodles right away, and it will be ready in a while!" Grandma Sun was heartbroken.

She cooked a bowl of fragrant noodles for Dongzai as fast as she could. There were two yellow-orange fried eggs lying on top of the noodles. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the heat was just right.

Dong Zai ate so much that his eyes narrowed. After eating the noodles, he rarely sat under the tree, but circled around the old locust tree.

Why?

I'm full!

After Lao Li had breakfast, he saw that the weather was not very good, so he didn't let the goats out. He put on his back basket and was going to cut some weeds in the vegetable field outside the yard to feed the goats.

Seeing Dongzai circling around the locust tree, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the locust tree. The locust tree, which had already passed its flowering period this year, unexpectedly put on flower strings again at some point, and after a night of effort, it was in full bloom. up.

The trees are full of silver and white, very beautiful.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Old Li feels that the old locust tree looks particularly... energetic today, um, probably because of the blooming.

"No wonder you are walking around it. Dongzai, do you want to eat Sophora japonica cake?" Old Li walked up to Dongzai with a smile, patted his small head and asked.

As usual, Dongzai raised his pretty face, looked at Old Li with no expression, and then nodded slightly.

Winter Cub, just... just nodded?

Old Li almost thought his eyes were blurred, so he quickly asked again: "Dong Zai, do you want to eat Sophora japonica cake?"

Winter Cub nodded slightly again.Dong Zai has a good memory, he still remembers the taste of Sophora japonica Cake, sweet, soft, with a faint fragrance, as delicious as chicken cake!

Forgive the bumpkin Dongzai, in his small world, chicken cakes are almost the best thing to eat.

This was the first time Old Li had seen Dong Zai give him a clear response.Old Li was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He squeezed Dongzai's cheeks, threw away the pan, and shouted to Grandma Sun who was still tidying up in the house: "Old woman, old woman, quickly take out the Shau Kei!" , I will pick Sophora japonica flowers for Dong Zai, and you will steam Sophora japonica cakes for him in a while."

Grandma Sun went outside and said, "Why are you so crazy, where did it come from at this time...why, why are they blooming again?"

Seeing her staring eyes, Old Li proudly said: "This is a good thing. Just now I asked Dongzai if he wanted to eat Sophora japonica cake, and Dongzai nodded."

"Dong Zai... No, Dong Zai nodded?! Dong Zai really nodded?" Grandma Sun walked up to Dong Zai in three steps at a time, grabbed Dong Zai's cold little hand and asked, "Dong Zai, are you sure?" Do you want to eat pagoda cake?"

Dongzai didn't know why they had to ask him repeatedly, but he still nodded obediently and looked at Grandma Sun with big eyes.

Grandma Sun's eyes almost turned red with joy, and she tried to say again: "Then the winter cub calls mommy, okay? If the winter cub calls mommy, mom will steam acacia flower cake for you right away!"

Old Li stood aside and looked at Dongzai nervously, his old heart beating violently.If his son could speak, he would be happy even if his life was reduced by ten years!

Dongzai blinked his big lifeless eyes and looked at her blankly, as if he didn't quite understand what she said.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Mrs. Sun tried a few more times. Seeing that Dong Zai still had no sign of speaking, she had no choice but to give up. Instead, she urged Old Li and said, "Why are you still standing here stupidly? Didn't I hear my son say that he wanted to eat Sophora japonica? Cake? Quickly move the ladder over here, and I'll help you."

Old Li: ...

Mrs. Sun's cooking skills are not bad. Her natal family is a cook who specializes in banquets for people. It is said that they are well-known in the provincial capital for several generations. They cook for the old dignitaries, but due to some special historical reasons , their family has been hiding in Anxi Village as early as her grandfather's generation. Whoever has a wedding or funeral will bring a set of belongings to that person's house to make a banquet, eat two meals, and earn some hard money. .

These places are poor and remote, and they are very poor. In the past ten or so years, everyone's conditions have improved, and there are more banquets, so they can earn a little more.When Mrs. Sun got married, her family was extremely poor, and the three older brothers were all waiting for money to marry a wife. Her family originally planned to marry her to a cripple and asked for a lot of gift money, but in private, she and Old Li had already known each other and had a good relationship with each other. It was all so interesting, Lao Li's mother and son gritted their teeth and borrowed dozens of yuan from the villagers, and finally collected a full 50 yuan before marrying Mrs. Sun back home.

In the 70s, this amount of money was almost huge in a place like Lijia Village.

After Mrs. Sun and Lao Li got married, it took several years to repay the debt.

During this period, Mrs. Sun had two abortions due to overwork and lack of nutrition, and she did not conceive again for many years.I got pregnant again later, but because of my old age and poor health, I couldn't keep it.

For this reason, Lao Li's mother was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Sun until her death.

And because of these past events, Mrs. Sun couldn't get close to her natal family no matter what. After her parents passed away, she never went back to Anxi Village.A few years ago, she and Lao Li had just returned to Lijia Village. She had two unworthy nephews, and they brought their children here. They wanted to get something from her, but she scolded them away with sneering words. Meet with your mother's family again.

The handicrafts of the Sun family are passed on from male to female, and Grandma Sun has learned a little bit from what she has heard and seen since she was a child.

The sophora flower cake made by Grandma Sun is different from that of ordinary people in the village. The steamed sophora flower cake has a light beige color, is very soft and delicious, and has a slight sourness of fermented glutinous rice in the sweetness.Dong Zai, who was feeling a bit full just now, felt a little hungry when he smelled the sweet aroma of Sophora japonica cake.There was no need for Mrs. Sun to call him, the little guy walked into the kitchen slowly with his short legs, following the scent.

The old locust tree is huge, its canopy covers half of the yard, and it is covered with a tree of locust flowers. Grandma Sun cooks it in different ways for the winter cubs to eat. After eating for half a month, there are no fresh locust trees on the tree. it took.

For the past half month, because of the matter of Li Anliang's family, the criminal police captain Wang Jun and his subordinates have been running to the village almost every day to conduct various inquiries, investigations and evidence collection. They even came to the old Li's house twice.

Old Li Tou and Mrs. Sun are quite old, and they bring a three or four-year-old stupid son with them. They live far away on the mountainside, and have almost no contact with Li Anliang's family, let alone any enmity.

The little policeman who had just arrived at the post of criminal police, holding a record book, asked his senior very puzzled: "...Master, I don't understand, why did Team Wang go to this Li Angui's house twice? Is there something wrong with their family?"

The author has something to say: pagoda tree was an auspicious tree in ancient times, symbolizing wealth and official position, but later it gradually evolved into a ghost tree, which is listed as the four ghost trees in Fengshui along with willow, mulberry and poplar.
