Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 92
I don't know since when, a group of beggars have been active in Songcheng.

These people include locals and out-of-towners, holding bowls and sticks, and they will come to make a fuss during weddings and weddings, say something pleasant, or help them cry.

If the host's family can't save face, they will give some rewards, and they will also take care of the food.

Of course, the meaning of managing rice is to send some oily and meaty dishes and rice, and go out to eat, on the side of the road or on the ridge of the field, in short, it cannot be served on the table.

After all, these beggars were dressed in dirty clothes and smelly, so it was really inconvenient to squeeze in and eat together.

I heard it, but I didn't care, saying that these people can be sent away with some money?

Mother said who said no, but if there is a quarrel, someone must take care of it, right?And those gang of beggars and beggars are very annoying, they even teased your cousin, saying that "a woman should be pretty and filial", and sang half a broken song, not only asking for money, but also asking your cousin to deliver the food in person. If you don't leave, you will swagger and sit on the table.

I heard that, without any further hesitation, I walked out and said, "Isn't that all right? Is there really no one in our Kowloon Bay?"

I rolled up my sleeves and walked out, but I didn't expect that the gang of beggars outside would have been cowarded without me doing it.

When I walked to the mourning hall, an old beggar who was blind in his left eye sang viciously: "The sky is blue, the ground is dark, the beggar has traveled north and south, begging for food, hungry, unable to calm down, The home of the miser is not bright, the soul of the starved ghost is not reincarnated, stealing chickens from the earth temple, fishing in the stinky ditches, and the home of the shellfish, you don’t regret it, don’t regret it..."

The tone is weird, it doesn't sound like the words from our side, and it also has a little tune.

It was obviously a curse word, but it was sung joyfully.

We are doing white things here, and we are about to go up the mountain, but there is such a thing, a total of three beggars are blocking the way here, talking sarcastic words, which is annoying to hear.

In fact, if these people were a little more polite, there would be no such shit.

When the other party came like this, there were always a few young people with bad tempers, and one of them was the younger brother of cousin Hou Li.

Because of his long face and surname Hou, he was a gangster in the countryside. He was called "Big Horse Monkey" by others. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very angry. "Get out, you know? I can't kill you."

Several young people nearby also stepped forward with angry eyes. The three beggars did not dare to offend everyone, smiled coldly, and sang a begging song again:

Said Fengyang

Dao Fengyang

Fengyang is a good place

Since Emperor Zhu came out

Ten to nine years of famine

boom boom boom clang

boom boom boom clang

Boom boom boom boom boom boom clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang

A wealthy family sells mules and horses

Small family selling children

We have nothing to sell

Walk around with flower drums on your back

boom boom boom clang

……

They walked fast, and Da Mahou was afraid of fighting with these people. Firstly, he would dirty himself, and secondly, he was late, so he didn't continue to chase, but just laughed there, saying that he was a poor beggar, so he knew he wanted to make a fool of himself. The mouth is straightforward, but I dare not really come——I tell you, if you dare to come again, I will break your dog legs.

He resolved the quarrel here, and several young people next to him praised the big horse monkey, but a calm old man next to him shook his head and sighed, saying that this kid is too irritable, and he will suffer a lot in the future.

I looked at the group of people, feeling puzzled, and thought of another person.

A guy who doesn't wash his face, take a bath, or brush his teeth, I always thought he was our companion, but it was only later that I discovered that this is not the case.

According to Ma Yi'ao, that person is from the beggar's family.

And the Beggar's Sect is a branch of Jianghu.

What these people do is begging, and Ma Yi'ao told me that although these people are pitiful, in fact, many people who are disabled and begging for money outside are actually manipulated and maliciously disabled.

The things here are particularly cruel and heinous.

If those beggars were from the beggars' sect, things might not be all right...

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh.

Maybe I'm too sensitive, what kind of Jianghu, business, these things are too far away from our daily life.

In fact, if I hadn't met people like Qin Liluo and Ma Yi'ao, I might not have been able to get close to this so-called "river and lake" in my life, and the few beggars in my hometown might not have anything to do with the beggars.

It's just a few hooligans who have nothing to do with production.

It's over after this matter is over. After the cousin cried a lot, she became more and more sad and heartbroken. Many relatives around her were persuading her.

I was a junior in the village, so I couldn't speak, so I just stood by.

The next thing is to go up the mountain. Someone needs to carry the coffin, someone cry, someone blocks the coffin. In addition, iron cannons and firecrackers are set off. The whole process is exhausting.

Fortunately, people are invited to do these things. I don't need to carry the coffin and repair the grave, I just need to accompany me all the way up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, a whole set of ceremonies came down. I won’t go into details here. In short, it was all kinds of troubles. I went up the mountain in the morning and was busy until noon.

After the coffin was lowered, a dedicated grave builder took his apprentices to repair the grave, and the big horse monkey was watching here. The relationship between my side was not far or close, so there was no need to continue to guard, so I followed the big man who carried the coffin to the grave. The troops went down the mountain to eat white seats.

At that time in [-], we said that there was no poverty, no richness, but generally speaking, people still didn't have much oil in their stomachs.

There is not much oil and water, so they are greedy for meat. Unlike now, many people are a little bored when they hear about weddings and weddings.

As for the funeral, the meal after going up the mountain is called Zhengjiu in our house. Basically, everyone who followed the party came, plus the people who came to help, the theater troupe invited, and various All kinds of people will have a meal at noon.

The food and wine on the white banquet is not rich, but there must be big fish and meat. Once the banquet is opened, the courtyard will be lively.

Someone dragged the family over, and the child ate meat, drank soda, wandered around, and made a lot of noise.

I wanted to help serve the dishes, but my third uncle stopped me.

He said that these are all the things of the youngsters. You have been running up and down with me for the past few days.

I couldn't refuse, so I just sat down and had a drink with the elders.

I don’t have a good appetite, and I’ve been busy for a few days, and I had a vigil the night before, so after a simple meal, I didn’t feel comfortable refusing, so I left the table, found my parents, said something, and then ran home to sleep .

I hadn't slept for a while when I heard the phone ringing.

I was a little confused at first, but later, I suddenly remembered that my parents' place is fine, and it has nothing to do with me, but I told Ma Yi'ao about my phone number.

If there is something wrong with Ma Yi'ao, I really have to deal with it quickly.

So I got up immediately, rubbed my face to refresh myself, then walked to the main room and answered the phone.

I thought it was Ma Yi'ao or my parents, but when I answered the phone, a girl's voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Hou Mo?"

I froze for a moment, then remembered, say, Xia Meng?
Xia Meng on the other end of the phone snorted and said, do you still remember me?I've been waiting for you for several days, but you didn't call me. I called you, but no one answered...

I said I'm sorry, I don't have your phone number, and I'm all helping with errands here, so I'm not at home.

Xia Meng said why are you at home now?
I said that I went up to the mountain for the funeral today, and everything was done. Didn’t I just eat, and then I was too sleepy, so I came back and squinted for a while?
Xia Meng said that you should squint, you should be fine at night, why don't you come out for a meal?

I didn't really want to go, so I shirked it, saying that I haven't had much rest for several days, and I don't know when I will wake up if I fall asleep this time, or we can change another day?
Xia Meng immediately said: "No."

After saying this, she probably felt that her tone was a bit too stiff, so she hurriedly explained: "I may accompany the leader to Yangcheng to attend a business promotion meeting tomorrow, and you will return to the Special Economic Zone in two days. The two of us are going to miss it again. If I don't do what I promised, I feel empty and sad. Come on, okay?"

When I heard her begging so softly, my heart softened a little, and I said... well, I'll set an alarm.

Xia Meng smiled, and said yes, like this, I remember you used to love roasted chicken. There is a Golden Old Man’s roasted chicken just opened in the north of the city. I heard it’s a chain. I went there once. The environment is good The conditions and the dishes are all very good. Otherwise, let's have dinner there at eight o'clock in the evening?

I said ok, no problem.

Xia Meng said sweetly to me on the other end of the phone: "Okay, Hou Mo, see you at eight o'clock tonight."

After hanging up the phone, I stood in front of the cabinet where the telephone was placed, and was stunned for a while.

I don't know if it's because I haven't been in touch with a girl for a long time, but the conversation with Xia Meng just now made me feel very happy, with a feeling of a deer pounding my heart.

And this feeling, could it be...

spring is coming?

When I think of this possibility, I feel a little nervous, and I can't help but think of Xia Meng's face, and her calf exposed under her yellow skirt...

That's called a white.

I was thinking about it, feeling a little dazed, and at this moment, I heard someone shouting outside.

At first I didn't hear clearly, but after pricking up my ears, I heard someone calling "Doudou, DouDou".

At first, there were only one or two people, but later, the whole village could hear the screams one after another.

I hurried out of the house and walked to the road at the door. I saw my father passing by in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped him and asked what was going on. My father told me anxiously, saying that your cousin's son, Doudou, had disappeared.
