"My father is dead?" Gou Wenwu was dumbfounded.
Wang Youde looked at him pitifully: "Your father is dead!"
Then he asked tentatively: "Master Gou, have you lost your memory?"
Gou Wenwu ignored him, but was suddenly overjoyed: "My father is dead? Then doesn't my family's property belong to me?"
"Haha, my young master's family has a lot of money, and now it's all mine! From now on, I am no longer Master Gou, I am Master Gou!"
Seeing his overjoyed expression, Yun Song couldn't help but praise: "What a filial piety."
Gou Wenwu ignored him and turned to the villagers boldly: "How much does your watermelon bud cost? I will pay ten times - no, a hundred times. I will compensate you a hundred times! I will compensate you a hundred times!"
Pu Laoshi and others suddenly became excited: "Are you really willing to compensate us a hundred times?"
Gou Wenwu said firmly: "Mayor Wang can testify that I will compensate you a hundred times!"
Hearing this, the villagers were even more excited.
However, some villagers are uneducated and are still wondering: "How much is a hundredfold compensation?"
Yun Song said: "If he eats one of your watermelons, he will give you one hundred watermelons."
Gou Wenwu said eagerly: "Yes, that's right. I've eaten a total of about seven watermelons, more than ten corns, and more than ten cucumbers in the past three days. When I get home, I will accompany you to a hundred times the loss."
"
"In addition, you can get me some roast chicken and old wine, and I will pay you back a hundred times when I get home!"
Pu Laoshi said regretfully: "I'm sorry, sir, we can't meet your request. All the chickens and ducks in our village have been lost in the past two days - didn't you steal them?"
Before Gou Wenwu could say anything, Wang Youde asked in surprise: "All are lost? Didn't the official document you sent me say that only a few were lost?"
Pu Laoshi muttered: "The chickens and ducks were lost very strangely. I dare not say that they are all lost, for fear of scaring you..."
Wang Youde was about to jump up and said: "Pu Laoshi, I am eating your food, how dare you cheat me?"
Yun Song was stunned.
He asked: "Fusheng, you are a god! King Almsgiver, what do you mean?"
Wang Youde's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly remembered that he had not told the truth to Yun Song either.
So he looked around and said, "It's so hot. It's already night. Why is it still so hot?"
"How about a melon? Who's going to pick a melon?"
Yunsong's face darkened and he shouted: "Wang! You have virtue! Speak clearly!"
Wang Youde rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said: "Master, I actually don't know much about it. Well, honestly, you tell Master, I will pick a melon first."
He turned and left.
Yun Song knew that he had been tricked by this guy.
He then said in a weird voice: "Donor Wang, it's dark outside, so be careful when you go out. Xiaodao heard that the public security in the village is not good now, and there are dog thieves at night, so be careful."
Wang Youde retreated in embarrassment: "Look for a melon, find a sweet and big melon."
Yunsong looked at Pu Laoshi.
Pu Laoshi honestly told the strange things in the village.
The thing is very simple.
For some time, the melon fields would make a "puff-puff-puff" sound at midnight. Then at dawn the next day, when I went to the field to look, I would find that the melons had disappeared.
Originally, this incident only caused confusion in the village, and the problem was not a big one.
But starting a few days ago, not only melons began to be thrown away in the village, but also grain and vegetables began to be thrown away - of course the reason was now found, it was stolen by Gou Wenwu.
As for why the young master of a wealthy family in the town suddenly appeared in this old village in the mountains?
This is a mystery, Gou Wenwu seems to have lost some memories.
In short, it was discovered that food and vegetables were lost in the village, and the villagers began to be afraid.
As a result, all the poultry in the village disappeared overnight two days ago. Now the villagers were frightened. Pu Laoshi quickly sent a document to Wang Youde to save his life.
After hearing what he said, Yun Song was a little puzzled and asked: "At first, there would be abnormal noises in the melon fields at midnight. Why didn't you go and see what was going on at midnight?"
Pu Laoshi sighed and said, "You don't know something, real person. I don't know if there is a feng shui problem or a curse in this village. Our people all suffer from blindfolded eyes. And the older we get, the worse the blindfolded eyes become."
"It's hard for us adults to see at night, so we have to bring our children with us so that our children's eyesight can be better. But if something goes wrong at midnight, we don't dare let our children see it for fear that something might happen to them, so we can only wait until daytime and let the adults go check on the situation."
Yun Song had some experience with medicine, and he knew that blindfolding meant night blindness.
This is indeed a very common problem in ancient times.
This is also the reason why night attacks often have a surprising effect in ancient wars.
After understanding the reason, he said to Pu Cheng: "Blessed is the Supreme God. Blindness is a disease, and it may not be related to Feng Shui."
Pu Laoshi suddenly raised his head and looked at him: "Does the real person know the inside story?"
Yunsong nodded.
He suggested: "You might as well plant more carrots, pumpkins and spinach in the farmland in your village. Eating more of these foods can cure blindness in birds."
"If you use oil to cook, the therapeutic effect will be better."
He knew the last sentence was nonsense.
Sure enough, Pu Laoshi smiled bitterly and said: "Use oil for cooking? Where is the oil?"
Yun Song said: "Eat more sweet potatoes and pumpkins. Steam them and eat them. It will always be effective."
Wang Youde brought someone back with a big watermelon, and he said happily: "Come, let's eat this melon."
Yun Song took one look and asked, "Does your melon stay ripe?"
Wang Youde said confidently: "I must be familiar with it, I have experience."
Yun Song asked again: "Are there any insects in this melon?"
Wang Youde became more confident: "It will never happen. I have seen it and it is very complete."
Yun Song shook his head, took the melon and said, "Supreme Master Fu Sheng, if you want to see if there are bugs in a melon, you should not look at the skin. Come, let Xiaodao perform a secret technique on you."
When they heard that he was going to use secret techniques to find insects, everyone held their breath.
Yun Song pretended to make some gestures and rapped the watermelon with his knuckles: "Bang, bang, bang!"
He nodded and said, "Yes, there are no insects."
Wang Youde asked curiously: "Real person, what would it look like if there were insects?"
Yun Song smiled at him and said: "Xiaodao just used the magic of life. If there is a worm in the melon, it will temporarily possess spiritual intelligence."
"If Xiaodao knocks the melon again at this time, the worm in the melon will say——"
When he got here, he suddenly straightened his face: "Knock on your mother!"
Wang Youde didn't understand what he meant, and suddenly said: "That's it, it's eye-opening!"
The villagers carried knives and the melons were indeed ripe after they were opened.
Something that is cooked is delicious.
Sweet, plump and juicy, you can lick it with your tongue and water will come out.
After eating watermelon, they waited for the strange sound at midnight.
There were still two hours from sunset to midnight, so Pu Laoshi wanted to invite Yunsong and Wang Youde to have a meal in the village.
Yunsong refused.
Previously, he had heard Pu Laoshi give instructions to the men in the village, telling him to go back and go door to door to see if there was anyone who could fit into the banquet, so that they could make a banquet.
Yun Song felt quite sad.
This kind of food is simply a waste of money, how could he have the nerve to eat it?
Pu Laoshi felt very sorry.
Yun Song then smiled and said: "Fusheng Supreme Heavenly Lord, Xiaodao's not going to the village banquet is not to show disrespect to you, but Xiaodao just came and saw that the corn is very tender and the pods are ripe, so he is eager to roast the corn and boil the pods in salt water.
Already."
Wang Youde said disdainfully: "These things are good things!"
Yun Song was glaring at him.
Everyone set up a bonfire on the ground, and Pu Laoshi went to fumble around and picked some ripe buds and a large handful of pods.
Plug the pods with branches, set up an iron pot on the campfire, boil water in the iron pot, add salt, add dried chili peppers and star anise, and cook the pods.
The flames are blazing and steaming.
Roast the corn until brown and the pods are green.
It has a very picnic atmosphere.
The aroma of roasted corn came out quickly.
Yunsong gnawed on the corn grains and gave Pu Laoshi an idea: "Don't sell the corn directly, but pick the corn and go to the town to make roasted corn and steamed corn to sell, as well as these pods and peanuts, boil them in salt water.
Go sell it.”
Pu Laoshi smiled bitterly and said: "Who doesn't have corn and peanut pods at home? Who would buy them?"
Yun Song said: "How would you know if you don't try it? And you have a knack for selling."
"For example, you have to sell salted peanuts and bean pods at the door of the tavern; for roasted corn, you have to make some sauce, apply the sauce and bake it!"
Pu Laoshi thought about it for a while and then started to think about it.
It was almost the zenith of the moon when a rustling sound came from the melon field.
Yun Song thought it was the sound of the wind blowing on the watermelon leaves, but the villagers stood up and shouted: "There are harpoons stealing melons!"
A young man listened carefully and then ran into the melon field with wide eyes.
Yunsong took a quick look and saw a golden full moon hanging in the deep blue sky. In front of him was the sandy land in the mountains, with endless green watermelons growing there.
The eleven or twelve-year-old boy held a steel fork in his hand and stabbed a yun with all his strength. The yun twisted his body and escaped from his crotch.
"What a pity!" Wang Youde sighed.
He rushed out a few steps and was about to dive into a bush, but he screamed violently.
The villagers laughed calmly: "There is meat to eat!"
There was a bear trap hidden in the bushes. It turned out that the boy had deliberately forced the beast to run towards the trap.
Pu Laoshi smiled and said: "When we encounter a harpoon, we will not stab it to death, but we will catch it alive and skin it completely. The skin of the harpoon is more expensive than the meat."
A proud smile appeared on Wang Youde's fat face. He was missing a pair of leather gloves.
Pu Laoshi bowed his hands to Yun Songgong calmly: "The Taoist priest is here in this village, and we don't have much to entertain, so I will give you this yun as a gift."
Yunsong smiled secretly in his heart.
This is actually a battle of wits between two old foxes.
He saw that Wang Youde wanted to covet the yun, and Pu Laoshi also knew this, so he gave the yun to Yun Song first.
A smooth favor.
At this time, someone shouted again: "Listen, that strange sound has appeared again!"
Yunsong tilted his ears.
Sure enough, there was a "puff" sound coming from the wind.
It sounds like a sigh.
Yun Song drew out his mahogany sword and walked toward the melon field, then found that there was silence behind him, with no footsteps following him.
He looked back and saw that everyone was huddled together around the campfire. Even the fat turtle was dragging its trap and squeezing towards them, and it was the most aggressive in squeezing...
This made Yunsong a little confused.
What are they afraid of?
What is it afraid of?
Yunsong didn't feel good.
