Chapter 242 The truth is revealed
I couldn't help but feel nervous, and said to Fatty and Wang Yuanchao: "This guy wants to cut off our ears?"
The fat man immediately blushed with anger and said, "Grandma, it's okay if you don't take Fatty with you when you go out to a big dinner, but now you want to cut off Fatty's ears, see if I don't tear this bastard apart!"
After saying that, the fat man rushed out. I also wanted to know what the lazy man meant by exchanging ears for a big meal. So I didn't stop the fat man.
The fat man weighed more than 200 kilograms and was as big as a hill. He suddenly appeared in front of the lazy man in the middle of the night. The lazy man was so frightened that he threw away his butcher knife and ran away.
But how could he outrun the fat man?
The fat man stretched out his hand and lifted the lazy man up, and slapped him twice, so hard that his face was swollen.
"Don't you want to trade the fat man's ears for a big meal? Why are you running away?"
"Sir... please forgive me!" The lazy man was almost speechless. His crotch was wet. He was obviously frightened and had to pee. As a result, he was slapped twice by the fat man.
"What, you don't want to cut off the fat man's ears now?" The fat man laughed a little angrily.
I saw that the lazy man was so thin that he was no match for the fat man. If he was slapped hard by the fat man, he might be killed. I quickly stopped the fat man and said to the lazy man with a smile: "You can spare your life if you want, but you must say it."
The truth!"
"I said, I said."
"Okay, first question, why are you sharpening your knife in the middle of the night?"
Hearing my words, Laihan suddenly looked embarrassed. He stammered: "I...I..."
"Do you fucking want to kill us?" Fatty shouted.
"No, no!" The lazy man waved his hands repeatedly: "Even if you lend me ten courages, I wouldn't dare to kill anyone."
"The knife has been sharpened so much, but you still say you don't dare to kill people." The fat man picked up the butcher's knife on the ground and weighed it in his hand.
"I...I just want to exchange for a big meal."
I saw that although the lazy man was trying his best to avoid the fat man's fierce gaze out of fear, there was no cunning in his eyes, so I knew that what the lazy man was telling the truth was true.
Immediately, he asked the fat man to step aside, and then patted the lazy man on the shoulder with a smile: "How do you change the meal? Is it possible to use human ears to change it?"
"Yes, yes." Lai Han nodded repeatedly: "You are from outside, so naturally you don't understand the rules of our village. Do you know why our village is called Zuo'er Village? It's because the dinner cooked by the Stove Lord is so delicious.
, I can’t even walk after smelling it, and one bite is better than that of a living god. It is simply the best delicacy in the world. But such a good meal cannot be eaten in vain. You must cut off your right ear to exchange it with the Stove Lord. Only then will the Stove Lord know how to eat it.
It was cooked for us to eat. Over the years, in order to taste the feast cooked by the Stove Lord, the whole village almost cut off their ears, and gradually it became the so-called Zuoer Village."
I turned around and looked at the fat man Wang Yuanchao, and asked doubtfully: "Is the feast really that delicious?"
"Of course, not only our villagers in Zuo'er Village, but also people from big cities have fallen in love with Stove Lord's feast! In the past few decades, Zuo'er Village has also had several groups of people come, including armed police soldiers.
, there are old professors and scientists, do you know why they don’t go back after they come? It’s not that we force them to stay, it’s that they live desperately and don’t want to leave, just to have a feast from the Kitchen God.
..." the lazy man said proudly.
"Hey, this is a rare thing." The fat man became interested.
Wang Yuanchao and I were also a little confused. Logically speaking, it is understandable what kind of feast the villagers like. After all, the villagers have only eaten some steamed buns and pickles in their lives, and have never eaten any delicacies. If you make some broth, they will not be selective.
But those old professors and scientists, who have never had anything to eat in the city? How could they stay in a village for decades and refuse to leave because of some big meal? This is too strange.
"There are many rarer things. The Stove Lord's feast is indescribable. Only if you taste it yourself can you know how delicious it is. After eating the feast, you will be like a god sitting on a cloud, and your whole body will feel comfortable.
Now, look back at the rice and steamed buns made at home. Are they food for humans? Bah, even pigs won’t eat them." Lai Han spat disdainfully.
"Okay, now to answer my second question, where does your village always exchange feasts with the Stove Lord?" I thought for a while and asked.
My question seemed to involve some secret. At first, the lazy man was unwilling to answer. He was beaten and frightened by the fat man, and then he lowered his voice and said, "It's that ruined temple on the back mountain."
"Temple, what temple?"
"The Kitchen God Temple!" the lazy man said mysteriously, for fear of being heard by other people in the village.
I nodded slightly. In ancient China, the Stove Lord was one of the common gods, who was responsible for food and drink. Almost every household would enshrine a Stove Lord in the kitchen to bless the whole family with enough food.
Even some modern five-star hotels will treat the Kitchen God as the god of food and offer him three sticks of incense every day. They believe that this will make their hotel business prosper and the dishes they cook will be more delicious.
But throughout the five thousand years of history, the Kitchen God was a kind-hearted old god who only wanted to feed and clothe the people and never asked for anything in return. How could he let the villagers cut off their ears in exchange for a big meal?
How could such a bloody and cruel method be done by a god? It was clearly caused by monsters!
When it comes to the Kitchen God, the lazy man's gluttony comes back again: "If there is no Kitchen God, how can we country people eat delicacies that even the emperor can't eat? Tsk tsk."
As he spoke, the saliva from the corner of the lazy man's mouth started to flow down.
"I, Laihan, have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have eaten such delicious food. This is all thanks to the kindness of the Kitchen God! It's a pity that I only have two ears, otherwise I would have to eat big meals every day for the rest of my life.
I can’t get enough of it.”
I could no longer hide the doubts in my heart, so I turned around and asked Wang Yuanchao and Fatty: "You two are well-informed, have you ever heard that the Stove Lord likes human ears?"
Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had not heard of it.
The fat man even said: "Why does the Stove Lord need so many human ears? Eat them cold, crunchy and crunchy?"
"Then what is he talking about?" I pointed at the lazy man and said.
"Dingdang, if you want to know what all this is about, let's go to the Zaowangye Temple in the back mountain." Wang Yuanchao said.
When the lazy man heard that the three of us were going to the Kitchen God Temple, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.
The fat man grabbed his collar angrily and cursed: "Damn! Didn't you just want to trade our ears for a feast with the Stove Lord? Why don't you dare to go now?"
"No, no." Lai Han repeatedly begged for mercy: "We can't go at this time."
"When can we go?" I asked.
"It must be after the sun goes down."
"Is there anything else that can't be said here?" I said, looking at the lazy man without blinking.
"Our Stove Lord is very arrogant. He only appears after the sun goes down. He also likes to listen to operas. Our whole village must set up a stage to sing a sinister opera and offer our bloody ears before he can show up." Lazy Man
Speak truthfully.
After hearing this, I finally understood why all the men, women, and children in the village had red lips. It turned out that they had not removed their makeup after coming back from singing opera.
