Chapter 5 fourth quarter

When it was almost lunch time, grandpa came back. When the food was on the table, everyone was about to move their chopsticks. Grandpa suddenly glanced around, then stared at his mother and asked, "Where's Mao Boy?" Maozai is the baby name of my younger brother. Mother was taken aback, and replied: "Didn't you ask again in the morning? Maozi is not feeling well, and he is probably still sleeping in bed. Leave him alone." I just found out that Grandpa's memory has also started to fail.Naturally, I thought of that jujube tree and what those people said. "Oh, I seem to have asked. What happened to him?" Grandpa asked again.

"If you eat too much dog meat, you will get angry." Mom became impatient.She got up and took a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, rinsed them under the tap, and handed them to Grandpa. "Grandpa has chopsticks." I said. "This is serving chopsticks." Mom said. My mother felt that my grandfather was getting old, and she was afraid that he would infect the children of my uncle's family. She specially prepared an extra pair of chopsticks for him, and asked him to use the serving chopsticks to put the vegetables into the bowl first, and then eat them with his own chopsticks.This prevents grandpa's chopsticks from directly entering the bowl.I have always been disgusted with serving chopsticks, but my mother insisted on it, and my grandfather never refused.

Grandpa picked up the food with his serving chopsticks and said with a smile: "I told him not to eat dog meat, he forgot. It is only eaten by people who are extremely yin. Maozi is just at the age of youthful vigor, and his own yang Qi is also heavier than ordinary people, so it’s no wonder that it doesn’t feel uncomfortable after eating.” It was the first time I heard that people with high yang energy should not eat dog meat. Grandpa's words aroused my curiosity.I hurriedly asked: "Many hot pot shops now offer dog meat hot pot, why can't they eat it?" At the same time as I asked this question, I was reminded of the dog at my second grandma's house.

Grandpa said: "The dog's situation is very strange. It belongs to Yin, but it is not a Yin spirit. It is exactly the same as the ghost's cold air. Therefore, dogs can see ghosts and know evil spirits, and their early warning ability is very strong. But the relationship between dogs and people It is the closest, so it carries a heavy human yang. Why eating dog meat is the most dry, this is the same as eating human flesh. It is human yang that is eaten, so it is not dry!" I couldn't help asking: "Did the dog raised by Second Mistress be eaten after being beaten to death?"

Mom said with a wry smile: "You don't know, it's hard for dogs in our village to live for a year these years. The petty thieves are used to being lazy, and they never raise a single animal at home. Wandering around in the village, if you saw any living things, you put medicine to knock them down, or beat them to death with a sap, and then skinned them on the nearby mountains, or smoked the bacon that had been cooked for the New Year, or had a hot pot that night." "Is there such a thing?" I have to admit that I have studied away from home for several years, and now even the situation in my hometown is unfamiliar.

Mother said: "Isn't it? Zhang Mi from our village, you know, her bitch gave birth to six puppies in May. Zhang Mi was very happy. Her son and daughter all went to work and did not go home all year round. , she lived with that dog. She fed the milk and nutrition sent by her son and daughter to the pups, and treated them like her sons. As a result, before the twelfth lunar month, all six pups were beaten to death and eaten. Now, even that bitch had her two legs broken by someone, and almost became a dish of others." I am speechless. "So tell me, is it possible that the dog raised by the second grandmother was buried like this? It was roasted and eaten by a few people who sat all night." Mom said.In our place, on the night of the funeral, people are kept in the mourning hall to burn paper and play gongs all night, and a small hanging firecracker is set off every quarter of an hour, which is called "sitting at night".

"Eat?" I was surprised. "Yeah. Those who were bitten rushed over to have a meal in the middle of the night, joking that the dog bit them and they wanted to bite them back." "What happened to the person who ate dog meat?" When I said this, I had a faint expectation in my heart, looking forward to some kind of wonderful answer.I think, since that dog has such aura—recognizes the person who offended Second Mistress, and has the courage to take a bite to "revenge" Second Mistress, then it should have the same ability to "revenge" Second Mistress. Tragic fate "revenge"?

But my mother's answer disappointed me.My mother spread her hands and said, "It's nothing! Some people even say that the dog raised by the second grandmother is far less delicious than the dog fed by Zhang Mi's milk." I was immediately dejected. The aunt waved her chopsticks and said, "Let's eat, the food is cold." As soon as I picked up my rice bowl, I heard ferocious dog barking outside the door.Turning his head to look, there was no sign of the dog, but a terrifying looking man!The man's teeth are sparse, but sharp as a dog!
