Chapter 146 Before Departure
Seeing Tang Jing and A Ruan looking back at her, Ning Xia couldn't help but look embarrassed.She didn't explain anything, and sometimes the more she explained, the more she wanted to cover up, but it was better to ignore it naturally.

Ning Xia followed Tang Jing and A Ruan to the backyard. This backyard is a place to store firewood and other sundries. There is a simple open shed, which is full of branches and wood.A cowshed was built on the west side, and two yellow cattle, one big and one small, were raised in it.Ning Xia had never seen a real cow before, and felt strangely approaching the cowshed, staring at the two cows with big eyes, and liked it even more than seeing the top-grade jadeite.

She was watching by the cowshed, and when she wanted to see what Tang Jing and the others were doing, the two big men had disappeared.But Ning Xia was not surprised, she knew that the two men must have gone down to the cellar.After searching in the yard for a while, she found the entrance to the cellar. She walked over and squatted at the entrance to look inside.Naturally, there was no light in the cellar, and there were candles growing at this time, flickering light and shadow, but the area was not too large, so Ning Xia saw Tang Jing and A Ruan wondering what they were doing.

At this time, Tang Jing, who was in the cellar, yelled at the top, "I said that little stupid pig, get out of the way quickly, you are blocking the light."

Ning Xia rolled her eyes and had no choice but to leave the cellar.After waiting for more than ten minutes, Tang Jing and A Ruan came up.Tang Jing called Ning Xia to come and help, he climbed up the ladder, handed a jar of wine up first, and asked Ning Xia to carry it up.Ning Xia saw that the wine jar was covered with thick yellow mud, and the body of the jar was also covered with dust. When she grabbed the wine jar, both hands were immediately covered with dirt.After handing Ning Xia another jar of wine, Tang Jing came up from the cellar. His clothes and head were covered with dirt, looking like a monkey in distress.

After walking away from the cellar, he vigorously dusted off the dirt on his body. It happened that Ningxia was standing below him, and the morning mountain wind was blowing Tang Jing from him. Waiting for Ah Ruan to come up, he dusted off the dirt on his body. , while walking towards the chicken coop.The chicken coop was more than one meter high, and it was built of stones. Only a small opening about 20 centimeters high and more than ten centimeters wide was left on the front. Now this opening is blocked with stone bricks layered on top of each other.A Ruan first pulled out two stone bricks, and immediately there was a chicken head eagerly exposed. A Ruan looked at it and said that this one was not good, so he let this chicken out, and then waited for the other chickens to come out.Ah Ruan didn't catch it until he saw a big white rooster, and then grabbed another flower cock.When he walked over, Ningxia saw two roosters, both of them were fat and big. At this time, Ah Ruan was holding the roosters by the neck, and they were scratching their paws in pain, struggling, but they just screamed There was no sound.

Ah Ruan said to Tang Jing with a smile, "I will eat this flower rooster at noon, and save the white rooster to feed that beast at night."

Ning Xia was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what A Ruan meant by the phrase "keep the white ones to feed that beast at night".Seeing the beautiful feathers of the flower rooster, she couldn't bear it anymore. She stretched out her hand and pulled Tang Jing's clothes, and said, "Don't let people spend money. It's not like you haven't eaten this chicken before. This chicken is much longer. It's beautiful, look how beautiful that feather is, it would be a pity to kill it."

Without waiting for Tang Jing to speak, Ah Ruan smiled and said it was okay, "Every household here raises chickens, and the hens are reserved for laying eggs, so they are reluctant to kill them. This rooster is reserved for guests. There is nothing in the mountain village. Good things, that is, grab a chicken or something to entertain guests."

Ning Xia was still thinking about what to say, but Tang Jing stopped Ning Xia from continuing, saying that she was still picky and looked down on A Ruan's chicken?Ningxia choked on one sentence for a long time, her face was red and white, and she was extremely embarrassed.

Ah Ruan chuckled, he was kinder than Tang Jing, and said to Ning Xia, "When I go to the city one day, Miss Ning treats me to a delicious meal, it's fine, I'm not an outsider, don't feel so sorry."

Ning Xia listened to what A Ruan said, and nodded to A Ruan with a smile, so she didn't say anything more.

Ah Ruan first put the flower rooster into the chicken coop made of bamboo slices, and put the other white rooster into the clay pot he brought earlier. Tang Jing put a yellow rooster sealed on a wine jar Digging out the mud, and then opening the wine jar sealed with thick yellow paper, a strong smell of wine filled the air in an instant, Tang Jing smacked his lips so greedy, said good wine, good wine, and immediately picked it up He took a big gulp from the wine jar, and the wine spilled from the wine jar spilled on his clothes, which was not only unsightly but also unhygienic.

Ning Xia couldn't help frowning, this fat man, just opened his mouth to drink from the wine jar like this, and the wine was actually his saliva, how can others drink it, it's too disgusting.Just as she was thinking about it, Tang Jing walked up to Ah Ruan with the wine jar, and then poured the wine from the jar into the clay pot where Ah Ruan held the white rooster, which made Ning Xia dumbfounded, wondering what they were doing ?Soak chicken in wine?

The wine was poured on the white rooster, and the rooster kept struggling. It was cruel for Ning Xia to see it, but she couldn't say anything.I saw that Ah Ruan pressed the chicken's head into the wine from time to time, forcing the chicken to drink the wine, and Tang Jing found a stone brick and pressed it on top of the clay pot, the chicken could drink the wine. The head was exposed, but the clay pot was still blocked by stone bricks in a large area. It was impossible for the chicken to escape from the clay pot, so it could only cluck in vain.

The next day, A Ruan's wife went to work in the field and asked A Ruan to accompany Ningxia and the others. At first he refused to let the guests go to work in the field, saying how shameless they were to let the guests go to work in the field, but Tang Jing still couldn't be persuaded, so he let the grasshopper follow her into the field with a hoe on his shoulder.

When Ah Ruan's wife and the grasshopper went down to the field together, Ah Ruan and Tang Jing started to work together. The two of them crushed some dried fruits of several colors into fine powder, and then boiled them with water, just like boiling medicine. After simmering for a long time, let it cool down, take the medicinal soup to the backyard and mix it into the wine soaking the chicken.

After that, I went to the backyard every half an hour to take the chickens out of the wine-soaked clay pots and put them in chicken cages to prevent the chickens from being soaked in wine.

Tossing like this until the evening, Tang Jing said that it was almost done, and then took the chicken out of the clay pot and put it in the chicken cage.

During dinner, Tang Jing and the grasshopper bit their ears for a long time, and then at the dinner table, Ning Xia saw the grasshopper's mouth as if it had been smeared with honey, and kept trying to persuade Ah Ruan's wife to drink. Mrs. Ruan drank three times, and then Tang Jing tried to persuade her again.

Ningxia looked at A Ruan's wife holding the big white porcelain bowl, drinking wine bowl by bowl, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak, this woman is too good at drinking, she was persuaded by Tang Jing and Grasshopper After drinking so much wine, I don't get drunk.When Tang Jing no longer had any reason to persuade A Ruan's wife to drink, he booed and asked A Ruan and A Ruan's wife to drink a cup of wine, wishing them happiness in this marriage and that marriage.Anyway, there are a bunch of reasons, just to trick the dead into paying for their lives.

After drinking two large jars of wine, Ah Ruan's wife finally couldn't hold it anymore, her face was full of alcohol, and A Ruan helped her into the back room to sleep.

Ningxia felt scared when A Ruan's wife drank so much. She heard that someone's life was endangered by excessive drinking.But Ah Ruan said with a smile, this is the rice wine brewed by their own family, the alcohol content is not that high, and they used this rice wine as a drink to coax the children, which almost dropped Ningxia's jaw in surprise.

Tang Jing urged Ning Xia to eat quickly, and they would go out later.

Ningxia was shocked, guessing that Tang Jing was going to take them to find Sheyu.Quickly put the food in his mouth, and he was full soon.

A Ruan also found a pair of cloth shoes of his wife and asked Ning Xia to wear them, saying that his wife and Ning Xia were about the same size, and the shoe size should be about the same.As a result, when Ningxia wore the cloth shoes, her feet got stuck.

Tang Jing said that they should just wear it like this. They were going to go deep into the mountains. Although Ningxia wore flat shoes, they didn’t have cloth shoes to walk in the mountains.

Ning Xia could barely fit into the shoes that were half a size smaller. The feeling of pinched feet was really uncomfortable, but for the time being, she could only endure it like this.

In addition, A Ruan found clothes for him and his wife, and asked them in Ningxia to wear them separately, saying that it was cold in the mountains at night, and they needed to wear more clothes to avoid the cold.After they were all dressed, Ah Ruan went to the backyard and brought the chicken coop that was supposed to be soaked into drunken chickens, and found a few hatchets, which the three men held respectively.A Ruan also helped Ningxia find a lighter hatchet, but Tang Jing didn't let Ningxia take it, saying that she was stupid as hell, if she accidentally held the knife upside down and hurt herself, where would he find such a knife? A purebred fool to go.

Ning Xia said disgustingly about her for Tang Jing, and she was furious. If it weren't for the fact that Ah Ruan was a stranger, her feet would have kicked Tang Jing's ass. This Tang Jing can say anything, just can't Speak human words.

Grasshopper was worried about Ningxia, and said that at least she should hold something to defend herself. What if something happened and they couldn't protect her in time?

Tang Jing squinted at Grasshopper, reached out and pulled out a short dagger from his waist, and handed it to Ningxia.At the same time, he said to Ning Xia, don't worry, with him, he won't let her hurt a single hair.

When he said this, Tang Jing's eyes were very special. Ningxia had never seen such a serious look from Tang Jing's eyes. It seemed that the words he said were swearing, more like a kind of powerful expression. Courageous responsibility.However, after being stunned for a while, the corner of Ning Xia's mouth twitched. It wasn't that she really didn't trust Tang Jing, but that she couldn't trust him at all. This guy's acting skills are too good. If he sells you, you can still count the money for him, Ning Xia How dare you trust him, if you trust him, you will really be the purebred fool he said, or the kind that is not pure and does not need money.

Hearing Tang Jing's words to protect Ningxia, Grasshopper's blood became passionate, and he slapped his chest and said manlyly, "Ningxia, don't worry, I will protect you to the death."

Tang Jing snorted at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and said with a sneer, "This is really rare. I have never heard that people can protect others after death. Don't play your role as a hero. If you really want to protect Ningxia, today's Let’s sing your play well tonight.”
