Vol 12 Chapter 7: Eat meat

"Two people, look at these two drawings. How much time do I need to build the above?" The young woman of the negative sword saw the blacksmith and the carpenter walk in at the same time.
The two craftsmen carefully looked at the drawings, and the carpenter said, "It can be made in one day." The negative sword youth nodded and looked at the blacksmith. The blacksmith pondered for a long while, and then asked the negative sword youth: "This thing requires forging or casting? If it is finely crafted, it will take half a month to complete." The negative sword youth replied: "It can be cast."
The negative sword youth nodded and said: "You don't need to build finely, you only need to have a similar shape and sufficient strength." The blacksmith nodded and said: "So it can be completed in three days!" The negative sword youth said to the staff again: "It needs a little rough cowhide The old patriarch nodded and prepared.
After about half an hour, the butcher invited. The negative sword youth instructed: "Preparing the sharp knife and the bar knife stone, and the rest do not need to be brought. You can wait at the scene when you use it, and I will call you when you use it!" Butcher slapped his chest: "This is simple, look good!" Sword Youth nodded, and now everything is ready.
Three days later, the magic instrument was made. The three young masters led the carpenter and the blacksmith to arrange the assembly. Everyone saw at first glance that this was not a half iron bull? Suddenly someone questioned, and the negative sword young man said, "This half iron bull, the wooden head of the bull's head is made of iron, and the iron ring at the tail is tied to the strand." Then, the negative sword young man and two other companions picked up the cowhide and half Wrapped in iron cows, it looks like a cow with its head down from a distance. After being busy, the negative sword young man moved his shoulders to the villagers and said: "Bring this thing to the water!" Everyone was instructed to lift the iron cow to the water to make it drink.
At the same time, the high platform next to it was already built, and on the other side, several shelves were set up, with dry firewood under the shelves. The children and mothers of the whole village watched from a distance, and everyone's wooden sticks were peeled off and sharpened.
Nine-headed cows hung up shares, and even on the iron cow, five short stature young men instructed to chase cows, then as long as they raised one hand above their heads, everyone would strive to hurry cows. They also told the women and children that once they saw the three men on the high platform, all children and women should cover their mouths with their hands and not make a noise.
After everything was ordered, the day was west. The five short statured young people "stuck up", climbed the high platform in a few steps, five hearts to the sky. Women and children in the distance, as they received orders, covered their mouths one after another, and the other two seniors stood behind the iron bull, left and right. The negative sword young man withdrew his long sword from his back, and another young hero with a red long whip in his hand was standing by!
The elder patriarch and several family members were standing not far away. Seeing the high-hearted, high-hearted man on the high platform, he left something out of his mouth and held it in his mouth. His right hand touched forward, "hissing" With a burst of flames, the thing was even lit. The tall young man with a short stature took a sip and slowly exhaled white smoke. Russia took another breath and spit out white smoke.
Suddenly the master threw away the things in his hand and stared closely at the water, as if the hunter had found his prey.
Looking around, I saw two dark ropes slowly stretching out of the water, and "twirling" wrapped the iron bull's legs tightly. At the same time, the tall man on the high platform quickly raised his right hand, and the three cattle-handling handlebars slammed, screaming "Driving!" The nine-headed cow struggled to pull the iron bull to the shore.
The things in the water were put on the river bank. In front of this monster was a big mouth like a dustpan. The sword in the hands of the negative sword youth suddenly flew into the air and fell down, penetrating the thing and nailing it fiercely on the ground. It was only now that everyone could see clearly that it was a big catfish with a few hundred pounds! The catfish was dragged ashore unexpectedly and was still struggling desperately. I saw that the young man with a whip holding a whip "cracked", and the catfish didn't move at that time. The Yingwu youth may feel that it is not stable enough, and then pull out a short knife and pierce the catfish head.
Five short statures above the platform slid vigorously from the platform, pulled out a short knife from the Yingwu young man, and cut off a piece of meat three times, two times, and turned to greet the butcher, pointing to the meat he cut. : "Just cut it like this, and flesh the children at the scene. The men stepped back and let the women and children line up to get one by one! After getting it, it was like me."
Said the short young man, penetrating the meat with the sharp wooden stick, dipping salt and pepper on the dustpan, and lighting the fire in front of the shelf. Everyone knew immediately, one after another. After the women and the children finished sending the hair, the big fish with a few hundred pounds was separated in a blink of an eye, leaving only the fish skin and the fish drum. The three young elites drank and drank with everyone, and they laughed.
The negative sword youth explained while eating meat and drinking: "This is a custom with a mound, and this thing is already familiar with the taste of human meat. In addition, this river often has drowned people eaten by it. Deep eating habits, some people began to attack humans and animals. "All of them suddenly realized that all the previously lost humans and animals were dragged into the water by this animal! However, after all, this cannibal monster has not escaped the end of being divided and eaten. Thinking of this, the villagers eat harder.
The next morning the three elders said goodbye, and the old patriarch wanted to keep it. The negative sword youth said: "There are still many things in the upper reaches of the river. I wait for the arduous mission and dare not delay it." Then the three of them walked away. Soon after, it was rumored that other people often ate big fish to eat big fish. Today, this huge cannibalistic catfish has long ceased to exist. I think it was eaten by three gluttonous masters. .
There is a hill north along the river, and there is a mountain village in Beishan. There is a young son Yang in the village. His father has died and he lives with his mother. A few acres of mountain at home, life is embarrassing. Fortunately, I often get help from the village members and try to survive. One evening, a woman came to stay and claimed to be lost in the mountains. Seeing that the night was drooping, and women, they dare not go.
Yang Gongzi said this to his mother, who was a charitable person, and said to her son: "It's going to be late, she is a lonely woman, where do you want her to go? Let her stay overnight and live with me. The room. "Yang Gongzi went out to welcome the woman into the house, and the woman thanked her incessantly.
No words for a night. Early the next morning, Yang Gongzi went to his mother's room to greet him, but he saw that the woman was already fetching water to cook. Yang Gongzi asked her mother in surprise, and Yang smiled and said: "When I lived and chatted with each other last night, I learned that the woman's maiden name was Hu, and she was 28. She was a concubine married by a businessman from the south in the city, and her husband was at the beginning of the year. The deceased brother scrambled out the child who was struggling for his family property. The so-called in-laws were forced to arrange a blind date to send out so as not to compete for family property. Unexpectedly, after entering the mountain, Hu Shi saw the other party ugly and dumb, looking for an opportunity to escape here . She has no relatives in the north, seeing my good old age, willing to recognize me as a mother, and helping with housework. I saw her diligent, and I agreed! "
Young Master Yang was dumbfounded. Although he knew that his mother was kind, it was just too sudden to accept the righteous girl overnight. But my mother had already decided that she was hard to say anything. The woman walked into the house to meet her elder brother. Young Master Yang couldn't take a closer look at the woman because of the dim weather last night. Seeing this woman's graceful and graceful appearance at this moment, she moved in her heart and promised.
After more than a month, the woman helped Yang Yang to sew up, wash, and prepare water, and clean up the yard. Another person was found to repair the damaged house, paste new window paper, and keep the house organized. Yang Gongzi looked secretly happy in his heart, but he was still a bit skeptical. After all, the woman's origin was unknown.
One day, Young Master Yang came to Fan Yuanwai's house and accidentally mentioned the matter. Fan Yuanwai said: "This is simple, hire artisans to repair the house to give money, you ask her where the money came from.", Yang Gongzi deep Take it for granted. After a few days of chatting in the family, Young Master Yang asked about it, and the Hu said: "The husband had a reward at that time, and the younger sister has been married since then, and the family has given some dowry, so there are some personal styles. The food consumption is still maintained, and the elder brother does not have to worry about it, although he is busy with farming. "Since then, Young Master Yang has only managed a few acres of farmland at home, has no worry about food and clothing, and has also lived a lot more comfortably!
After a few months, Mother Yang became sick and was bedridden. Hu's daily serving soup and brooding asked her to be warm and caring like a daughter. The old man's illness soon improved. At this time, Young Master Yang and Hu Shi lived with each other for a long time, and they felt that Hu Shi was not only beautiful in appearance, but also gentle and virtuous, so he had the idea of ​​wanting to marry her. It's just that he is afraid of its origin, so he dare not tell his mother. Yang mother recovered, and she was grateful to Hu. It is also because her son has not yet married, and Yang mother thought, would n’t it be better for such a good woman to be my daughter-in-law? So the two were called to the couch and said, "The two of you have always been commensurate with brothers and sisters. In the end, they are not biological brothers and sisters. It is inevitable that outsiders will gossip. I want to make you two husband and wife. I don't know what you think?"
Even when the Hu family said that listening to his mother was the master, and Yang Gongzi had such plans, he agreed. The old man was overjoyed, and invited Fan Yuanwai to be a matchmaker to arrange for the two to visit the church and enter the cave. After marriage, the two fell in love with each other and were very affectionate. The folks all said that Yang's ancestors had accumulated a virtuous virtue, and a good wife fell from the sky.
But as the saying goes, "good times don't last long".
