The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 302 Blood Spring Egg

After listening to Xu Changhe's introduction, I finally understood why they had such strange names.This name has been taken since birth, so there is still a reason to change it every three days?
How bored do they have to be to come up with such a boring way to pass the time?But think about it, the five of them add up to more than 300 years old, don't they still gather together in the morning to watch the tortoise walk?Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to understand that they would treat naming as a game.

Fat Dahai didn't care about it, he stared at the dishes and asked Xu Changhe: "Old patriarch, when can I eat this?"

When Xu Changhe heard it, he immediately slapped his head: "Look, look at me, I'm so patronizing and talking, are you hungry? Come, eat, you're welcome, let's eat."

I glanced at the table, and there were roughly a dozen dishes on the table.There are only seven of us at full count, which can be described as extremely rich.

Those dishes are also mostly meat and poultry, and the cooking skills are not bad, and the aroma has not dissipated.There is still a jar of wine on the table, which has already been opened, and the aroma of the wine is overflowing, and it smells tangy.

But I read it, and there is no egg dish in it.Neither boiled eggs nor scrambled eggs…

Pang Dahai probably noticed it too, so he ate without any scruples.

Xu Changhe introduced to us that those dishes are basically raised poultry and livestock, as well as some game, such as pheasants and hares.

I thought that when Xu Changhe invited us to dinner, he would say something about my grandfather at the dinner table, or ask me the purpose of coming here, and some things in their village.

Unexpectedly, none of Xu Changhe and his group spoke much, and they all started to eat sullenly. Only Xu Changhe would persuade me to drink from time to time.I was afraid that drinking would cause trouble, so I shirked my drinking capacity and didn't take a sip.They didn't try to persuade them to drink too much, they drank and ate food on their own.

I thought Pang Dahai would be enough to eat, but I didn't expect these people to eat more than fat people, as if they hadn't had enough food for 800 years.And the way they eat is very indecent, bones are thrown all over the table, and each of them is also full of oily mouths.

This posture shocked Pang Dahai, and in the end he had to put down his chopsticks and watch them eat.

The five of them were sullen, eating a lot.Pang Dahai and I were dumbfounded.

I thought of the stranger outside the wall who told me that I must go back to the yard before dark, so I decided to go back first.

I said to Xu Changhe who was biting a chicken thigh: "Grandpa Xu, we are full, thank you for the hospitality, we want to go back and rest."

When Xu Changhe heard this, he hurriedly put down the chicken legs, and patted his head again: "Look, look, I'm getting confused again, and I haven't served the last dish yet, you must try it before leaving."

Saying that, Xu Changhe clapped his hands, pulled his neck and asked: "Are you all right, the young master is leaving..."

There was a reply from inside, and an elderly woman came out with a basin in her hand.

The pot was placed on the table, and inside was a pot of hard-boiled red-skinned eggs.

When I saw the egg, I was secretly excited, and my heart was in my throat.

Two people warned me at the same time, don't eat eggs when you get here.I didn't see any eggs on the dinner table just now, and I was secretly glad that the eggs still appeared.So what's in this egg?

Although I was full of doubts, it didn't show on my face.

Xu Changhe pointed to the pot of eggs: "There is nothing good in our village, but this egg is the only one that can be sold. It is boiled with the blood spring in our place. It has extremely rich nutritional value. The egg melts in the mouth when boiled, and the taste is delicious." Delicious, come... have a taste..."

Xu Changhe really asked us to eat this egg.But when I looked at those eggs, the color of the egg skins was red, and the redness was a bit abnormal. Coupled with the previous warning, I dare not eat it.

I waved my hand: "Grandpa Xu, I'm full. I won't eat eggs."

Xu Changhe explained: "Don't look at the red color, but this is because it has been soaked in the water of the blood spring. The water of the blood spring can prolong life, cure diseases and eliminate disasters. It doesn't hurt to eat another one after eating."

Seeing that I was still hesitant, that Xu Ershu reached out and grabbed an egg, cracked and peeled it, and the egg inside looked crystal clear.Xu Ershu ate the egg in three or two bites, and then said in a strange way: "See? This egg is not poisonous to death."

That Xu Meilu also said: "Son, did someone tell you something?"

I waved my hand: "Grandma Xu, no one said anything, I have been allergic to eggs since I was a child."

Compared to those old men, this old lady named Xu Meilu seemed much kinder.The face is also the kind of feeling that one can trust her at a glance.

And I called Grandma Xu, which made the old lady smile even more, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes disappeared.

Xu Meilu grinned and said, "Son, don't be so ignorant, just call me grandma."

"Grandma?" I thought to myself, this is too ignorant, I call you grandma, can my grandpa agree?

Before I could reply, that old dog Xu snorted coldly: "Shameless..."

Xu Meilu glanced at Xu Laogou: "I am willing, can you control it?"

In this sentence, Xu Meilu cast a wink at the old dog Xu, and said it in a coquettish tone.It looked like a little girl flirting with her boyfriend.

But Xu Meilu is already in her 60s, if she speaks in this tone, it will look very awkward.This gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Those few people seemed to have gotten used to Xu Meilu's appearance, so they didn't react much.

Only Xu Changhe patted the table twice: "Old dog, Meilu, you two can find a time to quarrel, okay?"

Judging from the performance of Xu Meilu and Xu Laogou, this Xu Meilu may have a story with my grandfather.Otherwise, she wouldn't like to have me call her grandma.The difference between Granny Xu and Grandma is very different in character.

Xu Meilu straightened her expression, turned to me, and regained that kind expression again, and said: "Baby, don't worry about others, I am very close to your grandpa, grandma will not lie to you, this egg is different from ordinary eggs, absolutely No allergies, try it, and keep it unforgettable for the rest of your life.”

The egg was held in front of me. Although the egg shell hadn't been peeled off, I could still smell a fresh aroma of the egg.

If it wasn't for those two people's admonition, perhaps I would really try it after being told by Xu Meilu.

But at this time, even if the flowers come out, I can't eat them.

They mainly wanted me to eat this kind of eggs, but they didn't persuade Pang Dahai.But seeing that I have been refusing to eat, their complexions became a little gloomy.

Especially that Xu Ershu, I can see that he has a fiery temper, seeing me so ignorant of flattery, he must have been holding his breath in his heart for a long time.
