Everyone worked together to finally make dinner before dark. When the food was served, Meng Qixue couldn't wait to grab a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake and took a bite. The brown sugar filling filled with crushed peanuts and cooked sesame seeds flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
.
This made Meng Qiyu beside him very anxious. He waved his hands and shouted loudly: "The candy is out, eat the candy quickly!"
That posture made me want to help her lick the sandwich that dripped out.
Meng Qixue took a sip and then sucked back the sugar water. Her mouth was full of sweetness and she danced with joy.
"So sweet! So delicious, so sweet!"
When she happily went to get the second piece, she found that the plate holding the glutinous rice cake was missing.
?
"Mom, why did you take my food away?"
She hasn't had enough yet!
Shen Qingqing put some root vegetable leaves into her bowl, "Eat first, and then eat sweets after the meal."
Meng Qixue poked the vegetables in the bowl, lowered her head, "Okay then."
Except for Meng Qixue who was a little depressed because she couldn't eat the glutinous rice cake, everyone else enjoyed the meal quite happily.
Especially He Shi, who drank three bowls of fungus soup in a row. If Shen Qingqing hadn't persuaded him, he would have had a fourth bowl.
There were a lot of fried vegetables, and except for the glutinous rice cakes, everything else was leftover. Fang Zhenshan was going to take the leftovers home to feed the dogs, but He stopped him while he was putting them away.
"Don't worry, we won't go back tonight."
Fang Zhenshan: "Huh?"
"There is a thief who wants to steal something. What if I don't guard him?"
"Is there a thief?"
Fang Zhenshan and Meng Yuan both spoke out at the same time.
He angrily told the story about the noodle shop being patronized by a kid, and finally emphasized: "Everyone, cheer up tonight, catch people when you meet them, catch ghosts when you meet them, never let them go!"
"Then..." Fang Zhenshan pulled off the corner of her clothes, "Can you see ghosts?"
He also encountered ghosts and ghosts, and his wife became even more inflated.
"Oh, I forgot about this!"
He slapped his forehead and turned to look at Shen Qingqing, with expectation in his eyes: "Qingqing, is there any way to make me see ghosts?"
Shen Qingqing rolled up her sleeves and said, "When I set up a formation nearby, as long as a ghost steps into the formation, his true colors will be revealed immediately."
"But before that, I need to put something in the kitchen."
Shen Qingqing cleared out the place where the condiments were originally placed, put in special dipping water and mushroom oil, and put the leftover food next to the condiment jar as bait.
"Okay, you're done!"
Meng Yuan saw a question mark on his forehead, "Are you...catching mice?"
Shen Qingqing clapped her hands in a relaxed manner, "That's about right. I want to see what this kid is capable of. When the kid comes in later, everyone should be quiet and see what tricks it can do."
At night, Yanghua Village, which had been bustling all day, gradually became quiet. Every household turned off the lights and went to sleep, and the Meng family was no exception.
But if you look carefully, you can see a row of heads neatly hidden behind the small table opposite the Meng family's kitchen.
Shen Qingqing beat her legs, which were numb from squatting, and whispered: "Whether this little thief comes or not, my legs will be broken."
There was a sudden heaviness in my waist, and then a man's whisper came to my ears: "You will feel less tired if you sit on my lap."
Shen Qingqing turned her head and glanced at He next to her, her face flushed, "Isn't this a bad influence?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his sleeve was pulled off.
He excitedly pointed to a dark shadow in the corner and said, "Here we come, the little thief is here."
As he spoke, he touched the kitchen knife on the table and raised it.
Shen Qingqing quickly pulled her back, "No, I'm on my own."
"One of our own?" He was stunned.
Shen Qingqing cleared her throat and raised her voice: "Stop hiding, I see you."
The black shadow moved slowly, and then Meng Qiyun walked out wearing single clothes and bare feet.
The moonlight was bright, illuminating her flushed face.
He looked at her in confusion: "Aren't you sleeping? Why are you running to the corner in the middle of the night? Taking a dump?"
Meng Qiyun's face turned even redder, "I'm here to catch ghosts."
Finally, she met a little ghost who came to give her life. How could she miss it?
Shen Qingqing waved her hands helplessly, "Okay, come here."
So there is another member of the table-corner army.
This time they didn't wait long. About the time it took for a stick of incense to be used, there was a "whoop" sound coming from the wall, and a little devil who looked like an ape jumped over the courtyard wall and climbed in.
Mr. He clicked his tongue twice: "This ghost looks really ugly."
While he was talking, the kid had already got into the kitchen, first walked around the kitchen, then jumped on the stove and stopped in front of the wooden basin filled with leftovers.
Meng Yuan: "It won't want to eat rhubarb for breakfast, right?"
He quickly answered: "No, ghosts don't need to eat."
Then I saw the kid who "didn't need to eat" took out a shiny small bowl from his arms, poured all the leftovers into the bowl, and started eating like a wolfdog that had been hungry for eight hundred years.
He: "..."
Just two words: embarrassing.
Shen Qingqing touched her chin and became interested in the bowl in the kid's hand. It was a good thing and very suitable for someone like her who often dealt with ghosts.
After eating the leftovers, the kid patted his belly with satisfaction and opened the jar of spicy dipping sauce. Maybe he smelled something wrong, so he hesitated for a moment and finally scooped out a spoonful.
Shen Qingqing, who was watching from the sidelines, rubbed her hands excitedly. Here it comes, the exciting moment is coming.
The kid poured the spicy dipping water into the bowl, stretched out his tongue and licked it experimentally.
Then an evil roar erupted in the small courtyard, as if the earth was shattering.
The howling made the hairs on Shen Qingqing and others' bodies stand up.
Ghosts crying and wolves howling, it truly lives up to its name!
Meng Qiyun, who was not even afraid of anything, was so frightened that he crawled into Shen Qingqing's arms.
The ghost's screams continued for a long time. Finally, the little ghost, who couldn't stand the harsh attack of the hot water, jumped into the water tank, held the bowl and drank the cold water crazily.
Its cursing voice could be vaguely heard from the kitchen: "It belongs to his grandma's fourth uncle. Is this food for human consumption?"
"So what is in that jar?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.
"The powder made from mustard seeds, green and red peppercorns and devil's pepper is absolutely pure in taste."
Listening to her description, everyone else present rubbed their noses. The taste was indeed pure enough.
If you take a sip, your soul will ascend to heaven.
He then asked: "What about the other jar?"
Shen Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, "The fungus oil soaked in stones has a unique taste."
By the time he finished speaking, the little ghost had crawled out of the water tank and dragged his wet body to the oil tank. This time he was much more cautious. He first got closer and smelled the smell, and then started scooping out the oil after making sure it was OK.
I scooped it into a bowl and licked it. Maybe it felt delicious, so I went back and scooped out a big spoonful, and picked up two unknown solid pieces soaked in the oil.
Now everyone outside the house held their breath, waiting for it to chew the rocks!
The kid lived up to everyone's expectations. After licking the fungus oil, he happily bit the stone.
The earth-shattering ghostly scream sounded again in the courtyard.
The kid held the tooth that was chipped by the stone, and knelt on the stove with tears in his eyes, "My tooth, wuwu, my last tooth... you left so suddenly!" This chapter has been completed!
