Chapter 5280 Fish
Eight villages in ten miles have heard about the strange things in Changping Village. Now, even those who have relatives in Changping Village dare not come and walk around.
People in the neighboring villages would rather take a detour and walk a few extra miles than bring the bad luck of Changping Village.
As a village leader, Yang Huazhong thought of many ways and eliminated two teams of courageous young men in the village.
A team of ten people, two teams patrolling the south end of the village and the north end of the village respectively, on duty every night.
They also asked every household to close their doors and windows at night, and try to live together in one house as a family so that they could be taken care of for everything.
Then, he put all the native dogs raised in the village together, put them on ropes, and led them on patrol at night.
After three or five days of strict guarding, the situation seemed to have eased a bit, and the village no longer heard of anyone’s poultry and livestock being bitten to death.
“I’m relieved now!”
After returning home from a night of squatting, Yang Huazhong took a sip of hot tea and stretched.
This period of time really exhausted him, so much so that he couldn't even go through nine baths of Duo'er's daughter, which was a gift given by Mrs. Sun and Xiaohua in the past.
Mrs. Sun came over with a basin of hot water and took a look at Yang Huazhong's bloodshot eyes and the two thick shadows under his eyes. His face was filled with distress.
"Wash your face quickly and go to sleep for a while. If you continue like this, your body will collapse." Sun said.
Yang Huazhong nodded, stood up and washed his face with hot water, feeling much better.
"Fortunately, nothing happened in the past few days. Otherwise, I would have gone to the town to tell the security chief about this and asked the government office above to send someone to investigate the case." Yang Huazhong said again.
Yang Huazhong went back to the house to catch up on his sleep. Mrs. Sun took a sewing basket and sat in the main room sewing.
Halfway through sewing, she suddenly remembered how Yang Huamei was begging for embroidery with her a while ago, so Mrs. Sun told Xiaohua and went to Yang Huamei's house with her sewing dustpan.
Yang Huamei was killing fish in the yard. An old tabby cat kept at home meowed "meow" back and forth at her feet, rubbing her legs from time to time.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, the fish internal organs will be yours later, and no one will snatch it from you..."
Yang Huamei has a deep affection for this cat she raised. I have been raising him for four or five years. He has a docile temperament. In winter, he likes to get into bed and curl up in a ball at his feet. It is warm and soft.
It is also easy to feed. It eats leftovers of whatever people usually eat. When it catches up with eating fish, it is the happiest time.
"Old cats that have been raised for so many years have become spiritual. They can understand everything you say. The same goes for the twisted cat that my family used to raise. Unfortunately, that cat had a short life and ate outside. I caught a poisonous snake and died, oh, it makes me sad just thinking about it.”
When Mrs. Sun’s voice sounded, people also entered the yard.
Seeing the third sister-in-law coming in, Yang Huamei was very happy and put the fish offal on the chopping board into the cat bowl aside. The tabby cat swung its tail and ran to the cat bowl and ate it in small bites.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here free? I'm killing fish right now, and my hands are dirty, so I can't pour you tea." Yang Huamei said.
Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "I came here after drinking tea at home. You are busy with your work. I just brought you embroidery patterns."
Yang Huamei was very happy, "Third sister-in-law, I want you to do it yourself." Come and get it when I finish cleaning the fish." There happened to be a pony next to her, and Yang Huamei asked Sun to sit down on the pony.
Sun looked at the fat-headed fish in Yang Huamei's hand, "This fish is good, look at the gills, it's quite fresh. Where did you buy this?"
Yang Huamei smiled and said: "This is Shuanzi's eldest brother-in-law. It was brought over from a small pond in their village. In addition to this fat-headed fish, there are also three pairs of crucian carp. I kept the crucian carp in a bucket. Sister-in-law, you will take two away later and make soup for Xiaohua. Drink it with Feng'er, it's very nourishing."
Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "That's what Shuanzi's brother-in-law sent to you. You can keep it for yourself and eat it slowly. You don't have to give it to us."
Yang Huamei said: "There are a lot of them, even two It’s appropriate to give it to you. If you have any delicious food, we will never miss it. It’s settled. I’ll take two with you when you leave.”
Since Yang Huamei can’t refuse the kindness, Mrs. Sun. It was hard to say anything, so he just smiled and nodded.
Soon Yang Huamei cleaned up the fat-headed fish and put it in the kitchen. Mrs. Sun was also called by her to go in and take a look.
There were indeed several large crucian carp swimming in the bucket, very happy.
"His eldest sister and brother-in-law probably heard that my chicken was bitten to death, so they sent some fish over to comfort them. My father-in-law said that he wanted to give them a dried chicken? I refused." Yang Huamei lowered her voice. Say this to Mr. Sun.
"Why did you refuse? Logically speaking, you are not a petty person." asked Sun.
Yang Huamei said: "I don't know what the chickens in my house were bitten to death by. Who knows if they are poisonous? I didn't even plan to get them originally, but my father-in-law couldn't bear to throw them away. At noon that day I braised one and ate it.”
“It tastes pretty good, but I don’t know if it’s because I feel bad. No, I always feel that it is a little different from the chicken I usually eat. Although it has been several days since the family ate chicken, and everyone is fine, I am always worried. I don’t dare to give the chicken to my eldest sister’s house.”
After hearing Yang Huamei’s heartfelt concerns, Mrs. Sun also felt that they were justified.
This is like when there was a chicken plague in the village in previous years. Cautious people would never dare to eat the chickens that were plagued by chicken plague, but some people didn't care about that.
Peel the chicken skin clean and stir-fry it with other aniseed, dried pepper, star anise and other aniseed ingredients...
But the Sun family never dared to eat those things, even if they felt sorry for the waste. eat.
"Third sister-in-law, let's stop talking here. Let's go and sit in the main room." Yang Huamei pulled Sun out of the kitchen and walked to the main room.
During this period, there was a lot of commotion in the village over the poultry and livestock being sucked blood. Yang Huamei did not dare to go out to inquire about the situation outside. Now that Sun was caught, she had to inquire more.
So, hot tea, melon seeds, peanuts, broad beans, all the necessary snacks for farmers were placed on the table.
"Third sister-in-law, what did my third brother say? Are you still going to catch that weird thing?" The peanut shell in Yang Huamei's hand crackled as she stuck her head over to ask.
Sun was also talking about this matter, and she kept sewing in her hands.
"Your third brother is catching up on his sleep. He is so tired that he is almost out of shape. I asked him earlier what he is going to do next, and he said that he has to continue to squat at night, although the strange thing has not come out again. He is harmful to people, but if he was not caught today, everyone must still feel uneasy. "< br>
Yang Huamei nodded repeatedly, "The third brother is right, you can only feel at ease if you catch the big guy, just like the weird thing that killed Zhang Xiangzi and ate his internal organs. The big guy has to see it with his own eyes. It’s strange that monkeys feel at ease only after being burned to ashes.”
"If that vampire ghost is caught this time, he will be tied up and burned to ashes, otherwise he will not be able to forgive his hatred. The chickens in my chicken coop..."
