Ginger's grocery store

The autumn night is chilly and desolate. There are beasts humming in the mountains and forests. The wind blows through the dense leaves of the trees and makes a soft sound. It seems that someone is walking in the dense forest on fallen leaves and dead branches.A crescent moon with furry edges hangs weakly on the branches, silky clouds drift slowly, and there is the sound of wings flapping in the dark night. After a long time, a black bird lands on the tree and squawks.

The only farmhouse on Qinhuangshan gathered a lot of people, but there were not many voices. The men and women sitting around the round table in the lobby and under the canopy in the courtyard were silently playing with their mobile phones, and the discussions on the Internet were in full swing.

In the lobby near the door and window, Yuan and Fang Chengyan sat at the table. The bowls and plates on the table were almost empty. With the joint efforts of two people and one cat, some corners remained in the soup. The vermicelli and chicken feathers were added, and the back kitchen added some fresh chicken soup, which was steaming and full of fragrance.

A bowl of mellow chicken soup is the most heart-warming in the cold autumn night. There are soft stewed chicken, fresh and tender bamboo shoots, handmade broad bean vermicelli and green chicken feathers. It is eaten with soup and rice. After absorbing the soup, the rice grains have a springy grainy feel, and a piece of bamboo shoots is picked up by sticking the Chinese chopsticks into the oily chicken soup.

Bamboo shoots are available all year round, and spring and winter taste the most delicious. The bamboo shoots are fresh and tender, and the winter bamboo shoots are thick. Braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, pickled fresh bamboo shoots, and braised pork with dried bamboo shoots are the most commonly eaten dishes made of bamboo shoots by Jiang Yuan.Bamboo shoots that are not produced in spring and winter are slightly bitter in taste and have a heavy sense of fiber. It is like a donkey eating grass. There are basically no summer and autumn bamboo shoots on the market.

I don’t know how Twelve Bends Farmhouse handles it. The autumn bamboo shoots are made into fresh and tender spring bamboo shoots. The hollow part is filled with chicken soup, and the chicken soup explodes in the mouth as soon as the teeth are bitten in the mouth, which is wonderful.

After the meal, Xiao Jia told Jiang Yuan about a fun place near the farmhouse, where he could walk around at night to see the night scene and digest food, which served multiple purposes.

The fun place Xiao Jia mentioned is just to walk slowly along the twelfth bend after exiting the farmhouse. Jiang Yuan looked at the dark forest with his head up, "What's so good about the dark and sloppy? You can't see the road clearly, just walk." Falling into a ditch?"

Twelve Bends is a dry river, which emerges from the spring deep in the forest and flows all the way down the mountain. Due to the change of the mountain topography, there are twelve bends. The river is not wide, and the river is clear and swift. , great for kayaking.At first, the Yuncheng government will use Twelve Bends to develop tourism projects, such as the natural oxygen bar in Qinhuangshan, Twelve Bends rafting, and then invite some people to pretend to be "savages" and build a "cottage" full of cow skulls to attract some tourists. Tourists who don't know anything and want to join in the fun.

Later, a well-known mudslide occurred, and the source of Twelve Bends was cut off. After the river dried up, only the river channel remained. Human and financial resources.

Jiang Yuan looked at Xiao Jia, and Xiao Jia took out two flashlights like a magic trick, "You can go there with the flashlights, walk along the river for more than 200 meters, and you can see the beautiful scenery I mentioned. There are millions of The fireflies are flying, like the Milky Way falling to the ground, very dreamy. Fireflies are not afraid of people, and when you walk in, it’s like walking into the stars.”

Jiang Yuan chuckled twice, Mingren didn't say any secret words, and asked straight to the point: "What's the purpose of deliberately leading us over?"

Xiao Jia's face froze. He hadn't entered the society yet, and the youthful college student didn't have a thick skin when it came to deceiving people. When he was punctured, he deflated like a big balloon pierced by a needle.The elder brother told him not to tell the reason, but Xiao Jia felt that he should treat each other with sincerity.Rubbing his hands together in embarrassment, Jia Sanduo said, "I'll take you to the tomb tomorrow, and let him see you before going in."

Jiang Yuan asked: "Who is watching us?"

Xiao Jia whispered, "The general in the tomb, if you can't satisfy him, the big tomb won't work."

Jiang Yuan said: "If you can't deliver the package to the orderer, then the business will be lost. If you still want armbands, I will trouble you to place a new order."

Xiao Jia Xiaoji nodded like pecking at rice, "I'll just say it, it's not a big deal, why keep it from you, and be kept secret by my brother."

Jiang Yuan jokingly asked other people in the yard, "Don't they need to be seen by the general?"

Jia Sanduo chuckled and didn't say much.

Jiang Yuan understood in seconds, took the flashlight and said, "Then let's go out for a walk."

Jia Sanduo nodded hastily, "Actually, there are many interesting things in the mountains. As long as you are brave enough, it will be fun at night."

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yuan took Fang Chengyan's hand and walked forward.Behind them, Xiao Jia looked at their clasped hands and his eyes widened a little. Can male friends shake hands when they walk?

Jia Erfeng came out at some point, and stood next to his younger brother, knocking on melon seeds, "You can shake hands with your boyfriend."

Jia Sanduo unconsciously said what was in his heart, whether it was a boyfriend or a girlfriend, the feelings of others had nothing to do with his own, he said: "Brother, I told you the reason why I let them go to the firefly, are you okay?" ?”

"You." Jia Erfeng glanced at his younger brother, and he shrank his head before looking back, and continued to eat sunflower seeds, "It's okay, they are not in the plan, it doesn't matter if you tell me."

The night breeze was blowing, bringing a slight coolness into the gaps in the clothes. Xiao Jia gathered the clothes on his body, as if he heard the cries of the unwilling souls on Qinjuan Mountain.

"Close the windows tightly when you go to bed at night, and don't drink water before going to bed, so as not to scare you again at night. It's that day again, and the mountains are not very safe." Jia Erfeng reminded lightly. The father of a generation of gravekeepers said it tirelessly, and now he says it over and over again at this time of year.

Jia Sanduo nodded obediently, and said sullenly, "I see."

"Put away your ridiculous pity and sympathy. If you had that kind of thought, they wouldn't dig people's graves." Jia Erfeng looked at the people sitting in the yard mockingly. People who are discussing the secret language are in full swing, "If you touch something that shouldn't be moved, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. If the predecessors planted trees and the future generations will enjoy the shade, then the future generations will also have to bear the sins caused by the predecessors."

The overall situation of Qinhuang Mountain remains unchanged, retaining the Feng Shui of the large pattern, but the small pattern has been almost destroyed by the mudslides for years. Is the mudslide really caused by excessive felling and harming the sky?It's because of too many crimes, which caused the souls of the dead in the mountains to be uneasy, and it became more and more serious!Landslides can cover the dug-out pits, but they cannot bury the sins at the same time, and the debts owed must always be repaid.

"It's getting cold, it's time to sacrifice." Jia Erfeng ate up the melon seeds in his hands, clapped his hands to pat off the crumbs, said something confusing, turned around, and walked slowly inside with his hands behind his back , "Go into the house."

Jia Sanduo nodded, and found that his elder brother had already turned around, so he said, "Understood." With the light of car headlights in the distance, Jia Sanduo suddenly raised his voice, "Brother, someone is here again."

"Oh." Jia Erfeng responded casually, "There are not enough rooms."

Jia Sanduo twitched the corners of his mouth. He found that his brother's brain circuits became more and more strange, and he was not nervous at all when planning big things. Now his paws are numb, and he can't walk properly. Practical always want to jump away.He froze for a moment and said, "The basement can still be used as a shop."

"Well, let them sleep in the basement then."

"Ah?!" Jia Sanduo casually suggested, but why did he accept it, "The basement is too humid..."

"It's okay, they won't mind."

While the two brothers were talking, a minibus drove up to the door of the farmhouse, and a dozen or so people stumbled out of the car. The mountain road was bumpy, and it was not easy to come here.

Da Jin jumped out of the courtyard with a lightness that did not match his figure at all, and the dragon lice that had gathered under the light scattered one after another. He didn't even look at the new group of people. He ran a few times and disappeared in twelve Curved coast.

The people who got out of the car cursed the bumps of the mountain road, and someone saw the dragon lice gathered under the light, and the curse was even worse, "It's too unlucky, I saw the corpse beetle without even touching the tomb door, in this farmhouse The people who live here are all dead!"

The hunchbacked old man who was supported by someone came over, his cloudy eyes fell on the dragon louse, "There are always strange phenomena around the tomb, don't make a fuss."

The old man was supported by a middle-aged man with the appearance of a scholar. He was wearing an explorer's costume, and the round-brimmed fisherman hat on his head blocked his vision. , are rich in amino acids, and have the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidney, and they are caught and sold to the south, where they are called melon seeds."

These melon seeds are unbearable for most people.

A dozen or so people entered the house, and there was another commotion when they saw the one who came first.

The tomb robbers were preparing for the upcoming toil. Jiang Yuan and Fang Chengyan walked hand in hand along the Twelve Bends river.It was rainy some time ago, and the dry river at Twelve Bends became wet because of the rain. There were green moss growing on the smooth stones, and there were frogs croaking on the moss, looking at the people walking by the river with big eyes.

The riverside is not dark, Fang Chengyan summoned the mountain spirit lighting.Hundreds of millions of little elves gathered together, flowing over the river like light mist or veil, illuminating the dark forest in a dreamlike way.

After walking about [-] meters, I saw fireflies in a place with lush bushes.

The light of fireflies is yellow with green, flying up and down, really moving and flickering like stars.

A small bug landed on the leaf beside him, Jiang Yuan leaned over to look at it, and said doubtfully, "Why is it different from the fireflies I saw when I was a child?"

Nanzhou City's environmental protection is good, but with the development of the city, it is inevitable to use pesticides, insecticides, etc. to pollute the rivers and vegetation, and small bugs like fireflies that have high requirements for the cleanliness of the living environment It is hard to find even in the countryside.Jiang Yuanyou remembers that when he was a child, he liked to catch fireflies and stuff them into the mosquito net, and then lay down by himself to watch the little bugs fly around, just like plucking the stars and bringing them home, it was magical and interesting.

"Is there a black firefly?" Jiang Yuan frowned and looked at the firefly that was not afraid of people. The black beetle is quite similar, but the firefly here has a face on its head, and there are grimaces."

Fang Chengyan waved his arms, and all the bugs that landed or flew around them flew away, "Not all the glowing ones are fireflies. The reason why these dragon bugs glow is because of the evil spirits attached to them."

"Ghost fire?"

"Yes." Fang Chengyan said, "There is a lot of resentment here."

Jiang Yuan thought of what Brother Huayi said before, that the dragons in the abyss and the flying phoenixes in the mountains of Qin Huangshan are a good way to get promoted and get rich.

"The overall shape of Qin Huangshan remains unchanged, and the pattern of dragon and phoenix is ​​still there. However, the small pattern has been completely destroyed, and burying it here will only harm the descendants." Fang Chengyan raised his hand and grabbed the void, with a plop, one body A human-shaped monster covered with long black hair appeared in front of the two of them. The monster raised its head in fear, and it had a face of Zhou Zhengying. If he was still alive, he must be a majestic general.After death, he became stiff, heroic spirit was replaced by dead spirit, righteousness disappeared, but there was a lot of strange hostility.

"Well, this is the general that Xiao Jia said to inspect our body?" Jiang Yuan saw that he had so much hair on his body, and the shortest hair covering his body was as long as a palm. "Summer is so hot, it's not easy to be a zombie."

General Mao Zong, "..." No, he is not hot, he is very cool after staying in the gloomy and cold tomb for years.Glancing at Fang Chengyan in fear, General Mao Zong only dared to straighten his back and dare not speak presumptuously.His voice was hoarse, like a broken wind chime being poured into the wind, and it sounded empty, "The master has been waiting for the boss of Kunwuju for a long time, and he is very happy to know that you are here."

Jiang Yuan nodded, he didn't want to go inside the tomb, "Can you let your master come out to see you? I'll give him the package."

General Mao Zong cupped his fists in apology, "The master cannot leave the tomb after retreating, so I can only trouble the boss to send it inside."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Okay." Kunwuju is still very humane, anxious about what the guests are anxious about, thinking about what the guests want, and the host can do as the guest wants.

Having finished speaking, Mao Zong peeked at Fang Chengyan secretly with his eyes, his upright and upright face looked a little wretched, and he didn't know whether it should be said that becoming a zombie changed his aura or was born from his heart.

Fang Chengyan nodded, and General Mao Zong kowtowed in gratitude, and after kowtowing he ran away without a trace.Jiang Yuan stared at the place where General Mao Zong disappeared for a while, then frowned and said, "That face seems familiar, where did you see it?"

"Hungry Ghost Festival." Fang Chengyan gave a hint.

Jiang Yuan suddenly realized, "By the way, I ate noodles at a stall during the Hungry Ghost Festival. One of the guys seemed to be General Mao Zong just now. Did he have to shave his hair when he went to Yangshi? Let me think about it. What is the name of the small stall, I thought it sounded good at that time."

General Mao Zong, who slid into the tomb along a robbery hole, blamed the Jia brothers in his heart, and said bluntly that he was the boss of Kunwuju.He sneezed vigorously, and the already loose soil suddenly collapsed in a small area. General Mao Zong was stuck inside, unable to get up or down, and moving hard just let the soil bury him deeper.

General Mao Zong: "..." Do you want to become the world's first zombie buried alive?

The robbery hole was connected to the main hall of the tomb, and there was a rustling sound from the ground. General Mao Zong felt his ankle was entangled by something.

General Mao Zong yelled, "Damn it, take it easy!"

Next to Twelve Bends, among the many dragon lice shining faintly, Jiang Yuan finally remembered the name of the small stall, "Zhiwei Xiaozhan, I remember, that's the name. I remember the owner of the shop is a good-looking A handsome young man with long hair."

On the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, Jiang Yuan and Fang Chengyan ate wonton noodles next to the wooden dining car of a Zhiwei Inn. A lot of camellia oil is fried in the electric baking pan. It doesn't feel oily at all. The beef filling is firm and not loose. After the fat melts, it forms a bursting texture in the meat balls.

As for the memory of food, Jiang Yuan will definitely not forget it.

Digestion is almost done after a meal, and the fireflies flying all over the sky have also been seen. The mountains and forests that have destroyed the Fengshui pattern are full of shadows and there is no beautiful scenery to see, so there is no need to stay longer.

"Let's go, go back and sleep." Jiang Yuan touched Fang Chengyan with his elbow, and said teasingly: "If this is really a sky full of stars, does it look like the night in your sea of ​​consciousness? It's been a long time since I saw something so beautiful Star~"

The subtext, I want to have a blast again!

Fang Cheng said that he didn't understand. There are many benefits of being in love with Jiang Yuan, but the impact is also great. It's better to think carefully, "Pay attention to your feet, the ground is wet and slippery."

Jiang Yuan pursed his lips, looking around and talking about where Fang Chengyan learned his skills.

Going back, I met a big white cat on the way, bored with a frog, as if it had bigger eyes than anyone else.

"Da Jin." Jiang Yuan shouted.

Da Jin finally moved, yawned and said, "You can go back to sleep."

"You can go to the room and sleep first." Jiang Yuan walked over to hug Da Jin, but Da Jin deftly avoided him, and smacked his lips regretfully.

Da Jin said: "The whole room is full of desire for profit, and the whole room is full of murderous spirit, which makes my head hurt."

Jiang Yuan said: "Where there are people, there are complicated thoughts."

Da Jin hummed, "It's not as complicated and disgusting as today's."

The feng shui of Mount Qinhuang is good. In the era when burials were popular and buried in the earth, there were many tombs on the mountain, and the feng shui luck of the large layout of the Qin King's tomb was good for protecting future generations.The tomb of the King of Qin was a very popular tomb 500 years ago. It is said that there are gold and silver jewels, elixir, rare jade, exotic flowers and herbs, etc. After entering, a brick is brought out, maybe it is gold clad.

Later, dynasties changed, wars broke out everywhere, and the rumors that had spread were suppressed with the turmoil, and gradually became secrets that were only circulated among certain people.

But 500 years ago, there were a lot of tomb robbers who came to Qinhuangshan to dig pits. Up to now, there are some secrets circulating in every household, which lures future generations to search for treasures.

If the King Qin's tomb had been dug out so easily, the contents would have been hollowed out long ago, so why wait until now. "Thieves don't leave empty-handed." Tomb robbers are also thieves. If they can't dig the tomb of King Qin, there is no reason to return empty-handed. A lonely ghost with nowhere to live.

The entire Qin Huangshan was filled with the wails of lonely souls and wild ghosts.

There are some things that Xiao Jia may not understand, or may be deliberately concealing.He said that the excavation of the tomb of the King of Qin in Qinhuangshan began only when the stone tablet was washed out by mudslides six years ago. In fact, it is not the case.

The tomb guards of the ten surnames originally lived here in a large village. Some of the surnames withered and eventually lost their bloodlines were the result of fighting the tomb robbers.During the long protection, there was also a family betrayal, which brought out the legend of King Qin's tomb and attracted more coveters.

"Just having gold, silver, treasures, and panacea, shouldn't make people so crazy." Jiang Yuan was puzzled. A tomb that cannot be dug out is far less attractive than the wealth that can be found at your fingertips. Why are there so many tomb robbers rushing forward? Come?

Dajin yawned again and again, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes because he wanted to sleep, "It is said that the younger brother of the monarch of the Little Qin Kingdom sacrificed to Zhulong, got the elixir, and hid it in the ancient tomb. After taking the elixir, he can immediately become a fairy , go to heaven to have fun and enjoy wealth."

What Da Jin said was vulgar, but that's all.

There are such legends circulating in the secret door—the tomb of the king of Qin in the Qin Dynasty, the medicine of immortality is hidden in the tomb.

"Qin Huangshan's feng shui has deteriorated, which is not conducive to the cultivation of zombies in the Qin King's tomb." Da Jin smiled sinisterly, "The only way to restore feng shui is to calm the resentment of the undead."

It is very simple to calm down the resentment, whoever caused it is responsible, just have a carnival of flesh and blood.The tomb robbers in the farmhouse are the flesh and blood found by the tomb guards. They either personally participated in the robbery, or their ancestors did this business, or they belonged to a family with ten surname guardians who rebelled. So many lives should be enough to calm the grievances.

The two of them and the cat were not slow, and they walked to the door of the farmhouse in about ten minutes.

The corpses gathered at the door attracted by the lights scattered away because of their arrival, but the ghosts gathered around the farmhouse stayed in the world because of their resentment, which was not so easy to dismiss.

The densely packed ghosts surrounded the farmhouse. They either stared at the tomb robber silently, or breathed at the tomb robber with their teeth and claws.

Later, the middle-aged man with the appearance of a scholar walked around in the yard in disgust, "We are allowed to live in the Datong shop in the basement. Do you know who we are? Stretching out any finger is more valuable than your whole family! I want the best The one with the big south-facing balcony."

Jia Erfeng didn't even lift his eyelids, "The room is occupied."

The middle-aged man said arrogantly: "Let him go, I will give him double the money."

Jiang Yuan who was asked to leave: "..." He must live in this room today.
