"Dad, how do you feel?"

I squatted down and asked with my dad's hand.

My father slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air: "I feel like I am reborn!"

"Is there anything else to feel uncomfortable?" I asked with concern.

Dad rubbed his stomach: "I feel like my stomach is not very comfortable!"

"Stomach is not feeling well? What's going on?" The stone that I finally put down in my heart hung up again.

The father grinned: "I haven't eaten much these days. I'm so hungry that I'm so hungry that I'm so hungry!"

When I heard this, I smiled. My father felt hungry and wanted to eat, which means that the toad Gu in his body was completely cleared and his body was no longer injured.

"Old man, I'll give you a note right away!" My mother rubbed her hands happily, and she was so excited that tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes. She wiped her tears while walking into the kitchen.

The father shouted from behind: "Next big bowl, put in soup basin, and put more garlic cloves!"

The toad Gu was completely removed and his stomach returned to its original state. At this time, the father was in good spirits and energetic spirit. The haggard and death breath on his face before were wiped out. Now his forehead was shiny and his vitality was full, as if he had suddenly become more than ten years younger.

Foreman Zhao and others congratulated their father on his recovery from his strange disease.

The boy in red walked up to Leizi and asked where Leizi had thrown the dried toad before.

Lei Zi pointed to the rubble on the ground casually: "I threw it off the roof earlier!"

The boy in red said, "Idiot! Hurry up and find the dead toad!"

Lei Zi laughed and said, "What are you doing? Do you still want to eat it?"

The boy in red said: "The toad was poisoned by poisoning and must be dealt with to ensure safety!"

Leizi and I quickly put on our gloves, searched in the rubble for a while, and finally found the dead toad.

I never expected that the toad Gu that my father had was the one who was killed by this dead toad.

The poison of the Gu is indeed strange and mysterious. We can't understand why the father will be in the toad Gu in his body by throwing a dead toad with a poison on the roof. This is really strange. People who don't understand the poison of the Gu are unable to peek at the mystery.

The boy in red dug a hole in the rubble, created a pile of small bonfires, threw the dead toads into the bonfire, covered it with rubble, and burned it with a crackling sound, and saw rolling black smoke floating out from under the rubble, with an indescribable stench.

"I will never want to eat roasted frogs again!" Lei Zi said with a frown.

I shook my head: "Don't talk about roasted frogs, I don't want to eat any barbecue!"

The boy in red said: "The smoke is also poisonous. If you two don't want to be poisoned, finally shut up and retreat away!"

"Damn! Why didn't you say it earlier?" Leizi and I quickly covered our mouths and retreated back to the center of the yard.

The dead toad was quickly burned to ashes. The boy in red buried the ashes in the ground. Then he clapped his hands and stood up, and said happily: "Do it!"

My father was eating noodles, but he was really hungry. He ate it very deliciously with noodles and garlic cloves.

My father said to me, "Jiujizi, go to the entrance of the village to buy some wine and some braised vegetables. It is appropriate to get two fish. Tonight, treat Liu... Liu..."

"Uncle, just call me Xiao Liu!" The boy in red came over.

"Oh! Xiao Liu! Treat Xiao Liu well tonight. Xiao Liu cured my illness and was my savior!" The father put down the note and shook hands with the boy in red excitedly.

"No, uncle, don't be so troublesome. Since you're fine, I'll leave..." the boy in red refused.

"Let's go? No! Where to go? It's agreed at noon, let's have a good drink tonight!" Lei Zi was the first to jump out and blocked the way the boy in red.

The boy in red said, "You are so funny. Who is the brother of you? Also, I didn't agree to drink with you tonight!"

The boy in red squatted Lei Zi, and Lei Zi was not upset and still laughed: "What's wrong? You can't be scared, right? Well, it's okay not to drink, but you have to stay for a meal. This is the second uncle's wish!"

"Yes!" The father nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Liu, if you don't even have a meal, how could I feel happy?"

Rural people are honest and feel that others have helped them, so they have to invite someone to a meal no matter what they want to show their gratitude.

"Brother Liu, stay here tonight. I'll go buy vegetables now. You can chat with my dad!" I nodded to the boy in red, turned around and walked out of the yard to buy vegetables.

Foreman Zhao and his team continued to work. Their journey was simple and crude. Now the old house was sure to be demolished. The house was demolished very quickly. Just a few beams and pillars were needed, and the whole house would naturally fall apart.

However, all of this requires professionals like Foreman Zhao and others to do. They know which beam and pillar to first be demolished and which beam and pillar to be demolished. If we demolish it ourselves, the house might collapse and we would bury ourselves inside.

According to my father's instructions, I bought a lot of braised vegetables and liquor, as well as two big green carp that were jumping around.

I walked into the yard with a bun of bags and bags: "Brothers, I'll have a good time tonight! This wine just flowed out of the mill. Ask me, it's fragrant! And this fish, the authentic river fish that Wang Laosi caught from the river. I was going to go to the market tomorrow morning to sell for a good price, so I bought these two carp in advance!"

All the old houses have been demolished and turned into ruins, with a mess.

Foreman Zhao walked over with sweat on his face, took off his gloves and said, "Jiujizi, the demolition work has basically been completed. I will find a few more people tomorrow and hurry up and lay the foundation! The foundation under your old house is a bit soft and needs to be re-reinforced so that you can afford to build a building!"

I told Foreman Zhao that he worked hard and then kept them enthusiastically for dinner.

The old house has been demolished, so my mother used the waste bricks and tiles to build a stove in the middle of the yard. The removed wooden beams and pillars can be used to burn the fire. The stove has a large iron pot on the rack, and there is a strong fire burning below. The dishes cooked from this stove are particularly fragrant.

Two carp were served, and one made braised fish, which was full of spicy and fragrant sauce, which was full of color, aroma and flavor. Another one made sauerkraut fish. Although the taste was a little lighter, the fresh and sour taste of sauerkraut was so greedy that people were drooling. Then the braised dishes I bought were placed on the table, and a sumptuous dinner was presented to everyone.

The weather is good tonight, how about Ye Mo? There is still a silver moon in the sky.

We set up a large round table in the middle of the yard, and everyone sat together. When we looked up, we could see the bright moon. Everything was silent and the fragrance of wine was everywhere, which was a unique rural atmosphere.

The poison in my father's body was relieved and he recovered his health. We were very happy. When we were in a good mood, we naturally drank more and more. In addition to the two large pots of delicious carp, we drank until midnight before we finished.

When we were happy, we even got up and danced and sang a mountain song: "Mountain songs are easy to sing and hard to open... Lin Qing is delicious and hard to plant trees... Rice is delicious and hard to deal with fields... Fresh fish is delicious and hard to lift the net... Mountain songs are easy to sing and hard to start... Carpenters are difficult to build corner buildings... stonemasons are difficult to hit stone lions... blacksmiths are difficult to hit iron hydrangea..."

If it weren't for the fact that Foreman Zhao and his team would continue working tomorrow, we would probably have been able to drink all night.

Even so, when Foreman Zhao and the others left, Lei Zi still reluctantly grabbed Foreman Zhao's clothes: "Drink another glass! Just one glass!"

The land in western Hunan has been strong since ancient times, and there are many ethnic minorities, so adults and children here like to drink a sip. If you don’t drink alcohol, you don’t seem to be as hot as the people of Xiangxi. Wine has become a culture in western Hunan, deeply rooted and a necessity of life.

The boy in red obviously didn't like drinking very much, but I don't know if we were brought into the atmosphere or were embarrassed, but I still drank three or four taels of white wine. When I got up, I was a little shaky.

"Let's go, Brother Liu, I'm not having enough fun yet. Let's go back to the house and continue drinking!" Lei Zi was so happy that he forgot that the old house had been demolished. When he turned around, he saw a piece of ruins and shouted: "I'll go! Do you have to sleep in the yard these days?"

It doesn't matter in summer, but the autumn night is a bit cold, and there will be dew in the mountains, so it will definitely be extremely cold in the second half of the night.

Looking at the rubble and abandoned wood on the ground, the father said, "Maybe I'm not very good at repairing a house, but there is still no problem in building a shed!"

Under the leadership of my father, we quickly built two sheds using the demise of rubble and waste wood. Although it was simple, we could finally shelter from wind and rain.

My mother took the sheet out of the bed and said to the boy in red with a little apology: "Xiao Liu, I'm sorry, you are our family's great benefactor. You didn't treat you well. I'll only feel wronged tonight!"

The boy in red said: "It's okay! I've been wandering around the world alone, in the caves and in the woods. Such a shed is already very good for me!"

The boy in red walked into the work shed, and Lei Zi followed in with a burp.

"What are you doing?" The boy in red turned around and blocked the door.

Lei Zi was confused: "Of course I'm going to sleep!"

The boy in red waved his hand: "Go and go, stay away from me, I hate sleeping next to others!"

Lei Zi curled his lips: "Yoyo, everyone is men, you are still shy! Just make do with it, we don't dislike you!"

The boy in red said, "Are you wrong? Do you dislike me? Why?"

Lei Zi tried his best to squeeze into the shed: "Get out of the way, let me in!"

The boy in red was annoyed by Lei Zi, so he directly showed his bamboo tube and said in a cold tone: "You are allowed to sleep at the door, but you can't go beyond the 38th radius, otherwise, you know the consequences!"

The boy in red squatted down and placed the bamboo tube horizontally on the ground, treating it as a 38th parallel, so we were not allowed to cross the line.

When we saw the 38th parallel, we were stunned. The 38th parallel was fair, with half the width on one side, but the problem was that Leizi and I were two people!

I protested to the boy in red. The boy in red replied coldly that the protest was invalid and lay down with his back facing us.
Chapter completed!
