After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Jiang Xiaoman smiled and said nothing, his father is getting old, and he will be inseparable from him in a few years. He has only two ways to go now, or he can make a lot of money within a few years and take him with him. Dad went to the city to buy a house to live in, and then started a small business. The medical conditions in the city were better than those in the mountains.Or, take root in his hometown and do business at home, even if he doesn't make much money, the most important thing is being by his father's side.

When Jiang Xiaoman was thrown in the market back then, he was still a baby in swaddling clothes. He didn't remember anything at all, and he didn't know who his real parents were. Anyway, since he could remember, Jiang Youliang was the one who raised him carefully. , I was dressed in rags, and I had to save money from my teeth to buy him sugar, oil and fruits. I was reluctant to eat rice, so I cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge. He eats...Jiang Youliang is his only family member in this world, and it is also his greatest motivation to work hard.

Wrapped the finished pies in three piles in plastic bags, Jiang Xiaoman went to get three big apples, washed them and put them in the basket. Seeing that his cousin didn't bring water glasses, he went to get two new ones The water cups are filled with cold water, and each person is given a jug of water.

Because he had to go out for a whole day, Jiang Youliang drove the chickens at home to the pigsty, and put enough food and water for the pigs and chickens for a day. Once the gate was locked, several people hurriedly set off.

Seeing that Jiang Youliang had also brought some lengths of hemp rope and an empty backpack, Shanrong and his son immediately regained their spirits: Are they going to get caught?

really!Jiang Youliang walked all the way, and took a look at the nearby nests along the way, and found him two pheasants that were caught.

"There are a lot of pheasants on the mountain here. Even though there's not much meat, just catching two is enough for a meal." Binding the pheasant's feet with hemp rope and throwing them into the basket, Jiang Youliang couldn't help but hum. Hmph, "I don't know what this little witch priest can figure out with his mobile phone! In the early years, our old witch priests had to behead chicken heads to worship God."

Jiang Xiaoman followed behind very speechless. No matter what his father did, he never forgot to contact the little witch who "forgot his ancestors", and then repeatedly complained.

Where can I behead a chicken to pray to God now?When the bird flu broke out a few years ago, even a live chicken could not be found in the city. I heard that there were people blocking the major intersections. I saw someone secretly transporting live chickens into the city illegally. I will buckle all the chickens for you!

Want to go to town to sell chicken?Can!Let's talk about the slaughter!It is said that the old witch beheaded the chicken head to ask the gods, and what he wanted to chop was a live chicken. I don’t know if the gods would eat chilled chicken heads, hey!

Langshan has high mountains and dense forests, and there are several mountains between the villages. After they walked for a while, they could hardly see the road ahead. Fortunately, the four of them were all mountain people, so they picked up the hatchets they carried with them. , while walking while clearing the way, after walking for a while, Jiang Youliang suddenly stopped, listened for a while, and suddenly looked unhappy——

"Unlucky! The water is flooding over there, so I'm sure I won't be able to get through it. I have to climb over this mountain."

Shantang raised his head and looked at the mountain beside him, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

All the way through the mountains and ridges, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the old Jiwu's village.It would be impossible to rush back from this point, because it would be dark halfway, and walking at night in the deep mountains and old forests was no different from seeking death.

It is said to be a village, but in fact there are only a few families living in this mountain, and all of them are stone houses. Many houses have been unoccupied for many years, and the cracks in the stones are full of weeds and weeds. The potted succulents look a bit eerie from a distance.

Jiang Youliang took them straight to the witch's house, but he didn't expect General Tie to guard the door.

"You came to find Jiang Xia? He went to the top of the mountain to surf the Internet." An old woman next door kindly showed them the way, "On the top of the mountain over there, we can surf the Internet over there."

Jiang Xiaoman: "..." Good guy!This place is even more remote than his home!

It wasn't too far from here, so Jiang Xiaoman volunteered to find someone to let his father rest for a while.

"You don't know Jiang Xia, so let me go." Jiang Youliang stood up.

"What are you afraid of if you don't know him? He is probably the only person on the top of the mountain, and he climbed up to surf the Internet on purpose. It's not easy to find?" Jiang Xiaoman picked up the hatchet and went out.

While his son was looking for someone, Jiang Youliang told Shanrong and his son about the little witch priest.

"The old witch priest gave birth to four children. They were named according to seasons. The eldest, Jiang Chun, is a girl. She married when she grew up. The second is Jiang Xia."

"Then what about the last two, who also live with Jiang Xia?"

"Where! It's a crime to say that there was a severe drought in our place that year. The old priest went up to the mountain to pray for rain. Who would have thought that as soon as he left, the wolves at the foot of the mountain would wreak havoc on the village."

"My wife and children are gone. The old witch vomited blood for several days, and he died in less than a year! Fortunately, Jiang Xia followed his father into the mountains to pray for rain, so he left a piece of paper for the old witch. Bloodline, hey!"

"Then according to what you said, it's no wonder that the little witch priest didn't learn his father's skills. He was probably still young at that time, and his father didn't have time to teach his son all the skills before he left."

"That's not it!" Jiang Youliang couldn't help but slapped his thigh angrily when he mentioned this, "What are you talking about? The days of murder and arson were all going well. The old witch priest has never done a bad thing in his life. Ah, why did you suffer such a big disaster?"

If it weren't for the tragic death of the old priest's wife and children, how could he have been stimulated to die early?If he hadn't passed away so early, then all his abilities would have been passed on to Jiang Xia. As for letting Jiang Xia know nothing and run to get a fortune-telling on his mobile phone?

"Hey! Everything is fate!" Shan Rong couldn't help but sighed, he was more wronged than Jiang Youliang, "Our Shan family also had clan witches in the early years, but after the reform and opening up, he went to the city to give some help. The rich man went to fortune-telling and Feng Shui, and heard that he made a lot of money with the big boss, and the whole family moved to the big city."

Now it was Jiang Youliang's turn to be speechless.

The two cousins ​​were "looking at each other without words, only crying a thousand lines". Over there, Jiang Xiaoman also successfully found the legendary little witch priest on the mountain.

There is no way, it’s not that he is lucky, it’s because this person stands there too conspicuously—I don’t know if it’s because he wanted to get closer to the signal tower, but Jiang Xia climbed onto a big rock with his arms raised high, as if A human-shaped lightning rod, Jiang Xiaoman looked terrified!

Fortunately, there was no thunder. If there was a sudden thunder, the old Jiwu family would be wiped out!

"Well, are you Jiang Xia?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Xia, who was standing on the boulder, spoke nervously to stop him. The next second, he saw his fingers frantically clicking on the screen of the phone. Jiang Xiaoman was startled, and almost thought he was Suffered from epilepsy.

"Hahahaha! I finally got it!" Jiang Xia jumped a few times on the boulder with her mobile phone in her arms, her long and narrow eyes were about to burst out, and after jumping a few times, she realized that there was still a person standing next to her , his face froze, and he jumped off the stone as if nothing had happened.

"Divination or asking God? Let me tell you first, I don't count life and death, marriage, or fortune." Jiang Xia raised her chin slightly, as if she still looked down on Jiang Xiaoman.

What's wrong with being young, you have to believe in feudal superstition?

"Wait! We're not here for divination to ask the gods, we're here to visit your relatives." Jiang Xiaoman explained with black lines on his face.

"What?!" Jiang Xia picked out his ears, looked at him in shock, and looked at him carefully for a long time, but he didn't remember any relatives of the old man...

"Actually, they are not considered relatives. My father and your father met when they were young. They are friends. Jiang Youliang from Langshan Township, have you heard what your father said?"

"Jiang Youliang? Oh! I remembered! Is that the one who rushed to the market to pick up a lucky baby? Are you that Jiang Xiaoman?" Jiang Xia stared at him curiously for a moment, then began to complain in disappointment His father——

"The old man's ability is still not up to the mark, what kind of blessing baby, I think you don't have 100 yuan for all the clothes you wear, right?"

"I'm so poor, I'm still in Fuze Township! The old man knows how to use these words to fool those ignorant villagers! Your father must have been cheated! He won't give my father a confession every year, will he?"

have to!This is still a witch who dislikes the poor and loves the rich.

Fortunately, this person is not a relative of his family, otherwise Jiang Xiaoman would be so angry that he would be so angry that he would bury him as soon as he met him?

However, they have come all the time, and it seems that they may have to spend the night at this person's house tonight, so it's not easy to quarrel with them as soon as they meet.After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoman decided to communicate with him from a different angle——

"Hurry up and go back with me. My dad caught two wild pheasants for you. You have to kill them and let the blood out, or they won't taste good."

When it comes to eating, Jiang Xia's eyes light up, "Do you know how to cook?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I have also learned how to cook noodles." Jiang Xiaoman took the initiative to help him pick up the backpack, and unknowingly took the initiative of the conversation between the two, "I just came up At that time, I saw a lot of fungus in the woods, before it was dark, let's go and pick some up, otherwise the pheasant will have no fungus as a side dish at night, can it still be eaten?"

That's right!

Jiang Xia was startled, and couldn't help following.

The corners of Jiang Xiaoman's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked him casually what he was doing while standing on the boulder holding his mobile phone. He guessed that he might be grabbing some limited product, because he had helped his dormitory classmates snatch a limited edition of a certain big brand and star. Joint sneakers.

But this one is very difficult to grab. That time, the classmate mobilized the boys on the first floor to help him grab it, but he still couldn't grab it.

"You know Jiang Yuan, right? Next month will be the [-]th anniversary of his debut. Jiang Yuan is so kind. He paid for his birthday party and invited [-] fans to his birthday party. The ticket is only one yuan. Ahh!"

"Do you know that just now, more than 5000 million fans were vying for these two hundred tickets!"

"Then did you snatch it?" Jiang Xiaoman asked knowingly.

"Of course I got it hahaha! In order to get the tickets, I also dug out the old man's handbook, practiced for a month, set up a formation here, fasted and bathed three days in advance, and bought a big pig's head to sacrifice to the god!"

Jiang Xiaoman: "..." Then you really paid a huge price! !

Probably because he had snatched tickets to the idol's birthday party, Jiang Xia was in a good mood, and even took the initiative to squat down to help Jiang Xiaoman pick the fungus, but he was soon disgusted by the unbearable classmate Jiang——

"Brother Xia, you have to pick the mud and grass under the mushrooms before throwing them in, otherwise we will have to pick them for a long time when we get home."

"Whispering! That's why I never like to eat mushrooms..." Jiang Xia angrily threw away a small mushroom in her hand.

"It's not that I don't like eating, it's that I don't like picking it..." Jiang Xiaoman complained silently, speeding up the speed of picking mushrooms.

Just one meal, Jiang Xiaoman didn't greedy too much, seeing that it was almost enough for them to eat, he quickly picked up his backpack and followed Jiang Xia down the mountain, and when he returned to the village, there was only the last twilight of sunset on the horizon, covered by the dark dense forest Next, the old stone houses in the village looked more and more gloomy.

Seeing a few people squatting at the door, and not knowing how long they had been waiting for him, Jiang Xia was also a little embarrassed, quickly took the key to open the door, went to the door to bring back dried corn stalks, and asked to boil water for them to drink.

"Brother Xia, burn more, we have to burn these two pheasants." Jiang Xiaoman ran in with two pheasants, looked around, and found that Jiang Xia's kitchen was really "a house of desperation". !

No matter how dilapidated his kitchen is, there are still more than a dozen sticks of bacon hanging on the roof, and the kimchi jar in the corner is full all year round. Looking at Jiang Xia's kitchen again, it is really "everything is full of potatoes"——

There are some yams piled up sparsely in the corner, and there are a few unfinished boiled yams in the big bowl of the stove, and even the dish is only one chili fried potato chips...

Jiang Xia slowly lit the fire under the stove, and before he knew it, Jiang Xiaoman became the home of the kitchen——

"Brother Jiang Xia, I also cleaned this pot, you can burn it for me, just use this water to treat the pheasant."

"Brother Jiang Xia, where is your rice noodle tank? Let's cook the rice first?"

"Brother Jiang Xia, where are your chili peppers and garlic? Is the vegetable garden near? What kind of vegetables are there? I'll ask my dad to chop some for us to eat..."

Jiang Xia was directed around by him, and when he realized it, Jiang Xiaoman even found out how much corn his family had collected last year.

"No, brother Xia, you just planted so much corn, is it enough to eat?" Hearing Jiang Xia said that his house had no corn noodles, Jiang Xiaoman was speechless.

"How can I live by farming alone? I cut videos of my idols and post them online, and I can earn thousands of dollars every month." Jiang Xia showed off proudly.

"What?!" Jiang Youliang, who came in to refill the water, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The world is going down!The witch priest who was in charge of the fate of the whole family back then actually went to cut videos for the stars down the mountain in order to make money?

Jiang Youliang felt his eyes darken for a while. He thought, although the old witch he respected was not the last, but now it seems that he is no different from the last...
