Chapter 15: Tian Zhiming, Ghosts Gathering Rogues (6)
The debate over whether the wheat is delicious or not has continued.
In his previous life, he had been tired of eating fatty meat, potatoes, and fish, but the only thing he was not tired of was steamed buns.
The steamed bun is a wife, and all the dishes are lovers.
He pillowed his hands on his head and lay on a mat made of reeds. He thought about it, and then thought about the ordinary and simple life of his life, which is not as fragrant as meat, sweet as melon, taste of vegetables, fresh fish, but never gets greasy. What would it look like?
Luhua no longer argued about whether the wheat was delicious. She lay aside like him, gently kicked her calves with her legs, and signaled him to lean against the side to leave a place for her.
Wei quietly stood up and said that he wanted to go there and left the small pergola.
I was so tired these days that I lay down and thought for a while before falling asleep.
Luhua couldn't sleep, and vented the reason why she couldn't sleep on the chirping grasshopper on the side. She got up and grabbed the grasshopper who was trying to eat corn leaves. She thought to herself, stop chirping, he fell asleep.
...
In the evening, a group of children gathered around again.
A child's face was swollen and covered with one hand, but the dust on his face was not washed away by tears.
Shi was deeply impressed by this child because he had six fingers. When he was named, his parents called him six fingers directly.
"What's wrong?"
Several children made fun of him: "I was beaten by my mother, so I went to the river to catch fish and swim in the water. I was caught by my mother and beaten up hard. I won't dare to go again."
It is normal to swim in the hot weather at this time.
But this child is the six fingers. In the Song Dynasty, where the saying of ghosts and gods is prevalent, this is unlucky. As a mother, she was afraid that the child would be taken away by the Shuigui Hebo, so she was more strict in her control.
This child is actually very smart and has a stubborn temper. With his natural six fingers, he left a deep impression on Shi.
Teach these children to count and simple arithmetic. Children with six fingers learn the fastest. In just two months, they can count to one hundred and count addition and subtraction within ten. It is very rare.
The children teased him on weekdays and said that he had good addition and subtraction within ten because he had eleven fingers. That day he said he wanted to chop off the extra little fingers and prove that he had less fingers. He was scolded by Shi before he could let go of his mind.
At this time, he heard someone making fun of him again, Liuzhi said angrily: "Who said he didn't dare to go? I'm not afraid. If there is really a Hebo Water Ghost, I might as well arrest him and show him to Brother Shi. He will definitely have a way to make him obedient."
Shi smiled and asked, "What are you doing to make him obedient?"
"Catch fish for us to eat."
"Good idea!"
Shi didn't say if there was any of this thing, but instead praised it and went over and touched the child's head.
Liuzhi whispered: "Brother Shi, I actually went to the water to play a few days ago and almost drowned. I drank a stomach full of water, but fortunately there was a stone, so I survived. I vomited a stomach full of water, and I thought I must learn that if I want to drown this water in the future, I can't drown it even if I want it!"
After hearing this, I was amazed.
If an ordinary child is flooded once and dying, he may not dare to go to the water again for three to five years. This child is flooded once, but he is ruthless and wants to fight He Bo, which is interesting.
Assuming that the group of children were not swimming well, he said, "I will take you to the river to play now. Do you dare to go?"
"What's not to dare?"
Liu Finger rubbed his bulging face with the slap, raised his head and was not willing to be outdone, and was not afraid at all.
He led a group of children to the riverside, jumped into the river naked, taught these children to swim for a while, staring at the fish in the river as if thinking.
The next day, he went to the village community to look at the small pottery jar at the festival and sacrificial gatherings, and calculated how long it would take to harvest the seeds he planted.
In the evening, while telling stories, he led his child to drill a fire hole to make a flail, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to eat fish?"
The children nodded together, and the six-pointed advice was the most fierce. He wanted to catch the water ghost and catch fish like a carriage.
But these people make a living by farming, fishing nets are too expensive to afford, and fishing things are rare, and they have to work hard on the field on weekdays and have no time at all.
These days, the children have felt that they know everything. After hearing what he said, all the saliva flowed out of nothing.
A few days later, the group of children, as they said, weaving many water cages with willow branches, with a very small opening, and tied a funnel outside that could only enter and exit difficult to get out.
Shi took a few live mice and asked the children to peel and roast the mice, put them outside and smelled like drying, and threw them into the fish basket as bait.
The fish basket is easy to make and can be made up by children. It has no technical content. As long as it is easy to get in, it is difficult to get out.
Just turn the saying in the Peach Blossom Land to the opposite. At first, you can count the fish at the same time. When you swim for half a foot, the hole is too narrow, you can get through the fish.
The most difficult thing is that the mice that make bait do not have bait in the fish basket, so the fish will not drill into it.
The corn cannot be used as bait, and the taste is not strong, and it will dissipate as soon as the water soaks. The smelly meat is the best bait. Unfortunately, it is an ideal country to eat meat at the age of 70, and you can only make plans from mice.
Several narrow and long pots are placed on wooden sticks to form an inclined angle.
A few grains of corn were placed at the bottom of the clay pot, and a stone was pressed on the mouth of the clay pot. Because the bottom was on the bottom and the top was on the top at the beginning, the stone could not block the mouth of the clay pot.
When the mouse enters and wants to come out, when it reaches the can, the center of gravity will move forward. The can will be heavy and light, and it will fall down and be blocked by a stone. The mouse can only spin inside.
These mice have not eaten a few grains of rice on weekdays and are already hungry. They are not willing to let go of such a good opportunity, but they do not know that the rats have become bait for fish and shrimps for food.
It is not the kind of yellow rats that are infected with the plague and are immortal. There has been no plague disease in recent years. These mice can eat as long as they pass the psychological barrier.
The skin was peeled, the internal organs were cut open, and the aroma was so strong that the children were so hungry that they drooled, but they didn't allow them to eat. After talking about the principles of fishing, I don't know how many of them could listen to it and ask for it first if they wanted to take it.
More than 20 fish baskets were thrown into the river, tied them to the willow trees by the river with squids, and they went home and brag to their parents that they could eat fish tomorrow.
They had never seen fish catching like this, but they thought that since it was said by Brother Shi, they could definitely catch it.
Parents were reluctant to slap these children who were playing in the water, and they were skeptical.
At noon the next day, the village community caused a sensation.
A group of half-aged children followed behind.
They were carrying willow branches in their hands, with big and small fish on them, and a few girls were carrying a small willow basket containing some river shrimps attracted by the smelly meat.
Liu Finger, who had been beaten before, was particularly happy to see his mother running over, holding up the willow branches in three big fish and shouting: "Mom, eat fish tonight!"
With this shout, no one noticed Shi, who was walking in the crowd, was quietly scratching his body, and he didn't know what he had done before.
The people in the village were also open-minded. A group of children who didn’t even have a net went to the river several times and actually got a lot of fish.
More than twenty fish baskets have a lot of harvest, dozens of them are large and small, and many river shrimps.
Nowadays, fish are not valuable and have fewer ways to eat them. However, they can be sold for some money when they are taken in Shangqiu City.
Liuzhi's mother heard Liuzhi's shouting and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, what to eat? This is the fish I took you to catch, and asked him to sell it to buy new clothes."
Before Shi could speak, he listened to Liuzhi stubbornly and said, "Brother Shi has said a long time ago, Mozhe doesn't talk about food and clothing. Besides, Brother Shi said that we made this fish basket and he made the idea, but he only had a little effort to catch the fish, and most of us are still there. If you don't say that Brother Shi originally said that we wanted to eat fish together, the fish would not be assigned by him."
These people have heard a lot of things like Shi talking about big righteousness and small righteousness on weekdays, and know that if they meet someone else’s six fingers, they will definitely make people feel unhappy and ungrateful, but it is obviously natural in Shi’s eyes.
Shi quietly scratched his body that had been numb and itchy when he did something before, and said loudly: "I will go to the public fields to work in a few days. I will invite everyone to eat fish tonight. In the evening, each family cooked corn rice and brought some pickled vegetables such as sunflower, leeks, etc., and see you in our village and valley."
He shouted carelessly, which attracted everyone's thanks, but he just waved his hand and smiled and didn't care.
When I got home, I asked the children to cut the fish open and went to the field to pinch some cilantro that I had grown up and had never been willing to eat.
On the way back, I walked around the village and valley farm and saw that there was no one around, so I hurried back and got a hidden clay pot.
It contained half a can of wild bees' honey, which was also the reason for his itching before. He secretly mixed the honey into water, searched for several large ant nests near the valley ground, and drew several pieces of sweet water.
Things like Chen Shengwang, Da Chuxing, etc. need to be learned, but this kind of superstitious activities requires the cultural level of the audience.
Chen Sheng stuffed the silk book into the fish's belly. If no one recognized it, it would be a joke.
Thinking that the seeds will mature in a while, it is time to talk about something. I am not afraid of it. In a country like Song State, even if the vassals and monarchs cannot control it, even if he calls out among the gangsters, it would be fine if he would have any genius and generals.
The premise of saying this is to commit suicide is to have a perfect state machine. A country like Song State that has been beaten all day long does not have this ability. Of course, he does not want to say this at the moment. All he has to do is wait for Mo Zi to come back to accept him as his disciple.
The water mixed with wild bee honey poured out strange figures in front of the ant nest. Several soldiers who were looking for the way had already smelled it, and hurried home with their tentacles a little bit and reported the good news.
I washed the empty clay pot and hid it. When I returned to Luhua's house, the children had already cut the fish.
I found a few children and said, "Go back and say to your mother, and let them go to the village and valley farm and boil the water. For these two coins, buy a liter of salt from one of the houses, go."
The children ran back quickly with the money.
When the women were happily carrying the fish to cook, they were all stunned in the valley.
A group of ants, as if soldiers were about to fight, surrounded the path outside the village and valley ground, as if waiting for the arrival of a general of the three armies.
That's not a single word, and even those people don't recognize it.
