ah--
A terrified scream kicked off the morning in Zhoujiawu this morning.
Not long after, Lin Luo, who was eating fresh bamboo shoots and minced meat porridge at home, was greeted by the happy-looking Grandma Yao.
The old lady laughed as she recounted the scene to Lin Luo. It was hard for her to be at the forefront of gossip at her age, but this matter was so gratifying that the old lady couldn't help but find someone to share it with.
The first accident happened at the village chief's house.
The scream also came from the village chief's wife, Grandma Zhou, who got up early in the morning to work.
The village chief, who was still asleep at the time, was almost frightened to death by the scream. He went downstairs cursing and wanted to curse loudly, but after seeing the scene in the yard, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and trembled all over.
It was obvious that he was so scared that he couldn't speak.
There were also neighbors around who were attracted by the screams, and after being shocked, they couldn't stop discussing it.
I saw a Buddha statue lying upside down in the middle of the village chief's yard, with two bloody tears in the eyes!
“This, this, this…”
The village chief's hands trembled even more violently. He recognized this Buddha statue. Wasn't it the one enshrined in the Zhou family ancestral hall?
But the ancestral hall is at least one kilometer away from his home, and the Buddha statue weighs a thousand pounds, so it cannot be moved without a machine crane.
If someone really did this in the middle of the night, no one would notice.
"ah--"
Before we could come to a conclusion here, three more screams rang out almost simultaneously.
The villagers, who were "agile" and "sensitive to hearing", quickly found the source of the screams and split into several groups to check.
The three people who screamed were obviously the three who had quarreled with Grandma Yao yesterday. Things that shouldn't have appeared in the yards of their respective homes also appeared.
The plaque on the Zhou family ancestral hall was divided into three parts and appeared in the courtyards of the three people.
And it is not simply placed on the ground, but is deeply embedded in the concrete floor!
Is this something ordinary people can do?
This plaque was originally hung high on the beam at the entrance of the ancestral hall. It has a history of nearly a hundred years. Although it looks a bit old, it is also one of the symbols of Zhoujiawu.
Its weight matches its status. Although it is not as heavy as a Buddha statue, it still weighs more than 100 kilograms because it is made of solid wood.
Normally, it would take three or four people to help with the cleaning, but now it’s broken into three pieces!
The cut is very neat!
All of a sudden, all kinds of speculations came flooding in, including what happened to the three women in front of the ancestral hall yesterday, which was also brought out as evidence.
"The ancestors are angry!"
"Oh my god, oh my god, what on earth have you done?"
…
There are endless voices of condemnation and scolding, but in this relatively backward and remote village, everyone still believes in these things.
Especially the elderly in the village, who firmly adhere to some ancient methods, make many young people increasingly unwilling to stay here.
"You didn't see the pale faces of those three old guys. They were even paler than if they had been powdered!"
Grandma Yao is not a narrow-minded person and does not have the "noble character" of repaying evil with kindness. Those three women not only talked about Lin Luo, but she herself has been framed countless times.
"It must be the spirit of our ancestors appearing!"
Grandma Yao put her hands together and made a gesture of worship, "Please, ancestor, punish these stinky mouths!"
Lin Luo was amused by Grandma Yao's expression, "Grandma, what were their reactions?"
Granny Yao leaned closer to Lin Luo and said, "What else can we do? We'll have to lift the plaque out and carry it back to the ancestral hall. But the Buddha statue is too heavy, and even these old guys can't lift it. We can only put it aside for now."
Speaking of the Buddha statue, Grandma Yao looked mysterious again, "Girl Luo, it seems that our ancestors also dislike that old guy."
The old man naturally refers to the village chief.
Zhou Asheng has been the village chief for decades, but he did not rely on the support of the people. First, he relied on his father who was a soldier, and later on, he relied on his son who now works in the government.
He likes to take advantage of others and never does any practical work. He is definitely responsible for the backwardness of Zhoujiawu today!
Apart from that, this person's character is really not good, and he is extremely biased towards boys over girls.
Lin Luo had heard about this man's deeds when he was a child. He had ten children, but all the girls were given away or drowned. In the end, he only raised three sons.
At that time, Grandpa Luo had only one daughter, Mother Lin, and Mother Lin had only one daughter, Lin Luo. However, the village chief had said this many times, both openly and secretly.
Of course, God is fair.
Now the village chief's three sons are all developing outside, and none of them is willing to bring their parents to live with them, although the village chief said that he likes Zhoujiawu and doesn't want to leave.
But in fact, who doesn’t know about the troubles in his family?
In this incident, he obviously "angered" the ancestors more than the three women!
"This matter is not over yet!"
After chatting for about ten minutes, Grandma Yao finally winked at Lin Luo with a determined smile.
No matter how small a village is, it still has its own rules. Those guys offended their ancestors. Young people might not care, but the elderly left behind in Zhoujiawu are very concerned...
Lin Luo sent the cheerful Grandma Yao out the door, then turned around and half-leaned against the kitchen door, watching Yun Shu who was "busy" inside.
She had just chatted with Grandma Yao for nearly half an hour, but Yun Shu didn't come out once.
"Very strong."
Lin Luo's ambiguous words made Yun Shu pause the knife he was chopping meat with. He then turned away, his face showing the nervousness and uneasiness of having done something bad.
Lin Luo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't blame you. What are you having for lunch?"
That's how it is. Even if Yun Shu doesn't do it, Lin Luo will take action.
She wouldn't be as troublesome as Yun Shu. She would probably just let them have nightmares and then tell them to get away and not get in her way!
But now someone is doing it for her, so she will take a look at the results first.
In fact, Yun Shu's approach was similar to the method she used to punish the three women before. He was well aware of the role of public opinion and could be said to be a quick learner.
Yun Shu immediately listed the dishes. Five dishes and one soup were enough for the two of them, but with Yun Shu around, Lin Luo never worried about wasting food.
After getting the answer, Lin Luo quickly went upstairs to do other things, while Yun Shu, who continued to chop meat with his head down, smiled as if to expect it.
He knew that Luo Luo wouldn't care about such things.
But Yunshu is a "good boy", so he naturally cannot act as if nothing happened after doing a "bad thing". He will feel nervous and uneasy.
In fact, as someone who had killed countless wild beasts and had no moral values since childhood, Yun Shu didn't think that what he had done was excessive at all.
If he wasn't afraid of bringing trouble to Lolo, he really wanted to pull out the tongues of those three gossipers and destroy that old man's unruly eyes!
But it doesn’t work!
Lolo will be in trouble.
Yun Shu's gaze refocused on the minced meat in front of him.
——The glutinous rice balls need to be steamed first, which is time-consuming.
Lolo is still the most important!
It was sunny in Zhoujiawu in the afternoon, and people felt a little sleepy after being exposed to the sun.
Lin Luo and Yun Shu peeled the bamboo shoots they had dug yesterday one by one, tearing them into long strips. At the same time, they set up a big pot in the yard. This was the pot left by Luo's grandfather.
It’s big and heavy, but it’s easy with Yunshu around.
After the water boils, put the bamboo shoots into the pot and boil them, adding some salt at the same time, so that they will not deteriorate easily when dried.
After trapping the little wolf cub that wanted to make trouble, Yun Shu was responsible for cooking the bamboo shoots, while Lin Luo was responsible for drying them.
For this purpose, the bamboo sieves that had been cleaned yesterday came in handy. They were spread out in the yard, making the already small yard seem even more crowded.
"Lolo, should we raise some chickens and ducks?"
With his hands working, it would be boring not to chat at this time, so Yun Shu took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Raising chickens and ducks is a very normal thing in rural areas. For example, Grandma Yao raises five or six chickens. She usually eats eggs, and kills one during the Chinese New Year and other festivals to replenish her nutrition.
but……
Lin Luo frowned slightly, "...It's too dirty."
Lin Luo really couldn't accept the excrement of chickens and ducks. Grandpa Luo and his family didn't raise them before. Of course, one of the reasons was that they were afraid that the chickens and ducks would eat the medicinal herbs they planted.
If Lolo doesn't like it, then don't raise it. Yunshu naturally doesn't care. It's convenient now anyway. If you want to eat these, just go buy them.
"But you should still keep a few."
Lin Luo sighed. After the end of the world, they couldn't always eat frozen meat. Chickens and other animals could provide a steady supply of meat and were the easiest to raise.
Animals like pigs, cows, and sheep are more difficult to deal with, so when you think about it, chickens are better.
Yun Shu: "Okay, I'll take care of it, Luo Luo doesn't have to worry about it!"
Lin Luo looked at Yun Shu with a sigh. If she wasn't busy, she would have wanted to pat him on the shoulder and say solemnly, "The organization is lucky to have you!"
That evening, Yunshu's video tutorial changed from "A Home-Cooked Dish Every Day" to "Chicken Farming Tutorial Guide."
Even in my dreams I can seem to hear the clucking of chickens.
