Chapter 80 Winter Desolation

According to Chen Dongfang, this incident indeed happened before liberation. People were poor at that time, so the poverty in Fudigou was not so obvious. In addition, Fudigou is in this ravine, so it is actually far away from the outside world.

During the war, it can even be said that the people lived a better life than outside. However, in that era when the people were in dire straits, they were far away from the war, but they could not escape natural disasters. First, there was a severe drought, and then there was a severe flood, which led to the loss of crops that year.

There was almost no harvest, and the government's support was obviously not expected, so many people went to the pass to beg and seek refuge that year. There were not many people left in Fudigou. At that time, in Fudigou, the Chen family

Chen Tianfang, Chen Dongfang's grandfather, is the patriarch of the Chen family in the village.

The winter of that year was particularly cold. Because Fudigou was backed by Funiu Mountain, many people in the village were half-baked hunters. Hunting during the off-season was also a good source of income. In the winter after heavy snow closed the mountains,

Rural people used snares and traps to catch weasels in many places. But that year, almost all the traps were used by people in the beginning, and later on, weasels would enter the village at night, and even in broad daylight.

It can be seen everywhere. In the words of the old people, this is not only a famine for people, but also for weasels. If they were not hungry and had no choice, the weasels would not enter the village, let alone be in front of people's eyes during the day.

Walking underground.

As humans at the top of the food chain, this is undoubtedly a good thing for the villagers, so the whole village went crazy with traps and traps to catch weasels. In a short time, every household in Fudigou caught a lot of them. Eating meat is not a big deal, and the weasels barked again.

Yellow skin, winter weasel skin is valuable, because winter weasel skin does not shed hair, and is most suitable for making fur, because there are many weasels in Fudigou, and even many fur traders have flocked to the village. From the beginning, a complete

Weasel skin can be exchanged for one pound and seventy taels of meat, but in the end it can only be exchanged for half a pound. This is the profiteers' bargaining, but this can't resist the enthusiasm of the villagers to catch weasels. Even if a single piece is bargained, it can't beat the weasels in the village.

There are simply too many.

As for the weasel that Chen Daneng caught that became a spirit, it was close to the Spring Festival. The weasel that Chen Daneng caught not only looked very old, but was also very big. His weasel skin was even more expensive.

At that time, it was sold at a sky-high price, and surprisingly, three ocean coins were sold. In terms of purchasing power, these three ocean coins were equivalent to nearly a thousand yuan today. This undoubtedly made people extremely envious, and they asked Chen Daneng one after another.

He was also proud of how he caught it, saying that it was lucky that the rope he used in the trap was thick, because when he found the weasel in the trap, the weasel was biting his own foot and was about to break off his foot to escape, but he

He ran over and killed the weasel with one blow.

The patriarch of the Chen family knows some magic because of some books passed down from his ancestors. This can be seen from the third grandfather, so when the weasel entered the village, Chen Tianfang felt something unusual, but he also thought

This may be because the weasels in the mountains also fled because of famine. When people were about to starve to death, these weasels provided help in times of need, so he didn't take it seriously, but after knowing that Chen Da could catch one whose hair was almost turning white.

When the old weasel was old, Chen Tianfang was a little worried. Because the weasel itself is an evil thing, some places even worship this thing as a god and name it Huang Taixian. The ordinary weasel is fine, but it has become a new year.

The old man probably has some weather conditions.

Although Chen Tianfang is worried, even if he is the head of the Chen family, he cannot curb everyone's enthusiasm for catching weasels now. As a landowner of the Chen family, Chen Tianfang's family has a surplus of food, but everyone else does not. If everyone is not allowed to catch weasels, then

It just cut off everyone's way to get rich. No one would listen to this, so Chen Tianzang secretly observed Chen Daneng for a few days and found nothing unusual. He felt that maybe he was worrying too much, and the matter just passed.

But after about half a month, Chen Daneng, who had been so high-spirited because he had caught a giant weasel that the villagers said had never been seen before, suddenly became much depressed, and it was no longer seen that he went out early and came back late every day.

, Others may not care, but Chen Tianfang has always made people keep an eye on Chen Daneng, so when something unusual happened to Chen Daneng, Chen Tianfang was the first to know. So he found an opportunity and called Chen Daneng to his home.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Chen Daneng seemed to be a different person. He was lethargic, his face was thin, and his eyes were dull. He was not the strong young man before, and he also had an aura about him. Chen Tianfang knew that maybe it was because of that

An old yellow boy, this kid has caused trouble.

"What's going on with you recently?" Chen Tianfang asked.

"It's okay, Patriarch." Chen Daneng was still pretending, but his evasive eyes were obviously lying.

"You think I don't know that the weasel spirit is stalking you, don't you tell the truth? I can't save you if you don't tell the truth!" Chen Tianfang said.

When Chen Daneng heard this, he immediately looked at Chen Tianfang in disbelief, and then he knelt down to Chen Tianfang with a bang and said: "I know that nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the patriarch. You have opened your eyes. This

You can all see it, please save me, save my mother!"

Seeing that Chen Daneng told the truth, Chen Tianfang waved his hands and said, "There's no need to say more about flattery. Tell me, what's going on?"

It turns out that Chen Daneng is also a filial child. His father died early, and his mother raised him. His family is very poor. It is precisely because of poverty that Chen Daneng is not young yet and has not yet found a wife. On weekdays,

He and his old mother depended on each other. Although his mother was only forty or fifty years old, due to overwork in her youth, her mother was in poor health. She looked like an old man in her sixties or seventies. In fact, at that time,

In this way, as people age, they look particularly old, not only in appearance but also in body.

The skin of the old weasel caught by Chen Daneng was sold, but the meat was eaten. Chen Daneng was reluctant to eat it. In his opinion, the older the food was, the more delicious it was and the more nourishing it was, so he thought

While he was replenishing his old mother, he ate other weasel meat. He slowly stewed the old weasel meat for his mother and ate it. My mother, who usually had a bad appetite, could really eat it.

, and said that he had never tasted such delicious meat.

After his mother ate the meat of the old weasel, his body became stronger day by day. Chen Daneng was very happy, but in the past few days, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with his old mother. In the middle of the night, he always heard the sound of grinding teeth.

The sound itself sounds like the sound of chewing bones, which is enough to be cautious, but when Chen Daneng got up to take a look, she discovered an even more incredible scene. Her old mother was hugging the leg of the table by herself.

The legs of the bed were gnawing like a mouse, and her crouched figure looked like a weasel that had been trapped!

He woke up his old mother, but she didn't remember anything. Although he was worried, he just thought that the old mother was sleepwalking.

But in the past two days, the old mother not only gnaws every night, but also likes to crawl on the ground like a weasel. What's more, the old mother's appearance has changed. Her whole person looks like an old weasel! Especially

It's the eyes, which have become extremely round and look at people with a smooth look, just like the eyes of a weasel looking at people!

"Just yesterday, my mother lost her mind during the day. She completely turned into a weasel. She also said that I took his life. My mother ate his flesh and now she wants to pay for it with my life!" Chen Daneng wiped.

Said with tears.

When Chen Tianfang heard this, he knew it was a bad dish. He looked at Chen Daneng and asked, "Don't panic, where is your mother?"

"I'm tied up. I'm tied up at home. Patriarch, help me!" Chen Daneng said.

Chen Tianfang sighed and said: "Hey, I knew something would happen if you caught a weasel that became a spirit. No matter how bad the emperor is, he is still a real dragon. Now that the emperor has been defeated, the dragon is gone, and the monsters will come out.
