Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Third: The Shell Spirit Turtle, Watch Me Feast

Tong Shui turned the hard work of chopping firewood into a performance. I saw that he took a piece of firewood, and with just a touch of the tip of the axe, he split the piece of firewood into several pieces in an instant with the ingenuity of his internal force. The firewood was neatly piled up. At the beginning, Tong Shu's movements were a bit jerky, but after he mastered the trick, he flowed smoothly without stagnation.The two hands flutter up and down like butterflies wearing flowers, as if dancing. At first it was one person, then two people, three people... Gradually, everyone came to watch, and even someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Okay!"

The more people there were, the more excited Tong Shu was, and the smoother his subordinates became, until he heard the fat man shout loudly: "What are you doing?! Don't be lazy, go to work! Hurry up! Don't miss the hour!" Tong Shui stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "How? At this speed, can you chop two days' worth of firewood in one day?" The fat man snorted, but there was a smile on his face: "I really didn't see it, you really have some skills, but I don't know if your cooking skills can match the skills of chopping firewood, let's try it on the stove tomorrow! "

After all the lunches were distributed, they, the cooks, ate their own lunches. Tong Shui also got his share, which was just two rice balls wrapped in bamboo leaves, one wrapped in plum sauce, and the other mixed with chopped curly ears.Tong Shui sat under the shade of a tree, chewing carefully, but his eyes rolled around, looking around. A young man walked over from a distance, holding a small bag made of bamboo shoot shells, which contained a few salted green plums. He handed the green plums to Tong Shi, and said, "Your technique of chopping firewood is really beautiful, can you teach me?" I?"

Tong Shui picked up a plum and threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile, "Okay!" The boy was very happy, reached out and patted Tong Shu on the back: "That's great!" This touched the wound, and Tong Shu couldn't help but yelled. "I'm sorry, I forgot that you were injured." The boy apologized. Tong Li gasped in pain and said, "It's okay...it's okay..." The young man comforted him again: "Don't worry, it will be all right in ten days and a half months, and I was the same way back then." Tong Shu took the opportunity to ask: "If you make any mistakes in the future, you won't be beaten like this, right?"

"Mistake?" The boy was a little puzzled. "For example, who injured who, or stole something?" Tong Su asked. "Should be locked up...it seems like this..." The boy was a little uncertain. Tong Shi threw up another plum and caught it with his mouth, already thinking about it. The next day's lunch was the same two rice balls, but the taste was quite different. Plum sauce rice balls were mixed with peach petals and willow sprouts to enhance the fragrance, and some salt was added to enhance the sweet taste of plum sauce; The curly ear rice balls are served with elm money and betel, which makes the taste more mellow and fragrant.These are naturally written by Tong Shu.

Since then, Tong Sui has been in charge of cooking, and he has become the chef on this mountain. morning. It was another busy day, and a few people from "Kunying" went down to the cellar to carry grain, but unexpectedly they stepped into a sea of ​​wine. Get drunk.All the wine jars were overturned or shattered, and there was nothing left.The rice, flour, soybeans, and wheat stored in the cellar were all soaked, and they were useless.In the mess, there was a person lying down, leaning against the wine jar, dreaming sweetly, the blush on his face was as bright as a peach blossom, it was Tong Shou.

Sure enough, after making such a big mistake, Tong Shi got his wish and was carried by two people and taken to a cave. Along the way, Tong Shu cheered up, memorized the road secretly, squinted his eyes, seemingly inadvertently, but took a panoramic view of all people, events and things. Originally, she was pretending to be drunk, but the smell of alcohol all over her body came from the contamination on her clothes, but she didn't drink much in her belly. As soon as the two people holding Tong Shu let go, Tong Shu sat down on the ground like mud. The ground was that kind of blue-gray rock with charcoal-black patterns like bamboo leaves.

"Why are you drinking and making trouble?" A majestic voice came from above. "I..." Tong Shu still pretended to be half-drunk and half-awake, with his face half upturned, as if he didn't understand the content of the question. "Why are you drinking and making trouble?!" The man squatted down, lifted Tong Shu's chin with the whip in his hand, raised his voice, and asked again word by word. Tong Shui looked up and saw a bearded man with the words "Zhen Nineteen" on his clothes. Tong Shu smiled sadly, and his voice was soft and low: "They won't let me...to be with Brother Xiao..."

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the cause and effect of this sentence. Tong Shui continued: "I... didn't want to come here, just because Brother Xiao likes it... He said that he could seek longevity, stay together forever, and be together forever...but it was all a lie... ...It's all a lie... After going up the mountain, he never came to see me... Instead, he hangs out with other people all day long... What's the point of being alive if you can't be with brother Xiao..." Several people in the room looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

The bearded man was laughing and coughing non-stop, it took a while before he stopped, stood up, coughed lightly, and said with a straight face: "You drink and cause trouble, destroy the property in the public house, you will be imprisoned for five days, you can Do you understand?" Tong Shui raised his face, showing a charming smile, and sighed softly, "It doesn't matter if it's five days or ten days, even if it's a lifetime...Even if I'm outside, brother Xiao won't come to see me..." The curly-bearded man suppressed a smile and said: "There are still twenty sticks to pay."

"Ah?!" Tong Shui's face collapsed, "Twenty sticks? Isn't that killing people?" There was another burst of laughter, and someone said: "I won't kill you, I just want the life of your butt." The execution was very fast, and the beating was over in a short while, but the pain was very long. Coupled with the yellow "Tiger and Wolf Medicine", it was torture again, which seemed to be more painful than being beaten. Tong Shui was lying on the mat in the cell, tossing and turning in his heart, scolding everyone who was involved.Ever since Mr. Yue'an, he has been harmful to others, and he insisted on letting himself play the role of the manly young man; that Li Qichen was also cunning, he went to investigate the customs situation by himself, and left the hard work of finding people in prison to himself; and The people in the "Zhenying" who were executed insisted on taking their clothes to be tortured. They made fun of obscene language while executing the execution, and they all saw the ugliness of crying and begging themselves.One day, after the rescue of Gongzi Cong, he will kill them one by one with a sword, and then he will be relieved!Tong Shui cursed angrily in his heart, but groaned softly in his mouth.Suddenly, I felt my stomach growling again, and I didn't realize it was already noon. Only pain and hunger are unbearable at all. Tong Shi suppressed his nausea, put on a flattering smile, and said softly, "Brothers, when are you going to eat...I'm starving to death..." A person outside the door laughed and scolded: "You are the only one who has a lot to do!" Another person interjected: "That's right, today's meal seems to be late." As soon as the words were finished, a person came in from outside the door, carrying a large basket. Tong Shui saw that the person was also from "Kunying". He had met several times, but he was not familiar with him. I saw the man put the basket on the table, opened the lid, took out a red lacquer snack box from it, and walked straight to the depths of the cave.A few people outside the door rushed forward, grabbed a rice ball from the basket, and started to chew. "Bah! It's not as delicious as yesterday's." One person spat. "That's right, it was delivered late this time, and the taste was bad. When Xia Kun Thirty-San comes out, we have to interrogate him." Another person said angrily. Tong Rate smiled: "Because I made it yesterday... I was locked up today, so naturally the taste is not good. Let me taste it and see if there is any way to remedy it?" One person stuffed two rice balls: "Here! Yours." Tong Shui took it and took a bite each. The plum rice ball had a stronger sour taste and tasted sour; the vegetable rice ball was too wet and sticky, and lacked a little aroma.He immediately said: "Plum rice balls are too sour. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The sourness should be slightly reduced in the sauce, and salt should be added to neutralize it, otherwise there will be bad smell. This is irreparable. This vegetable rice ball can be cooked in a charcoal basin Add some pine branches, simmer with bamboo leaves, and sprinkle some salt, the taste will be much better.” The pine branches were smoldering in the charcoal basin, and the room was filled with fresh rosin. The warm rice balls were held in everyone's hands, and people gasped in admiration while eating. Tong Shui didn't talk to him, he just ate the rice ball with big mouthfuls, while eating, he secretly looked at everyone. After a while, the delivery man came out with an empty food box. When he walked out, Tong Su hurriedly asked, "What good stuff is in the food box?" "That's not your turn, you're not high enough." A person smiled inscrutablely. "They are all people who made mistakes and were imprisoned here, so why not have a prominent status?" Tong Su asked, but he thought in his heart that he hadn't seen anyone cooking other meals at the stove these days, could it be somewhere else, Is there a small stove? "Hehe, that's not what you should ask." Another person said with a smile. Tong Shui wanted to ask again, but the bearded man waved his hand: "Don't say a few words, it's time to work when you're full!" Everyone dispersed. Tong Shui didn't care too much, anyway, there were still five days left, so there was always a chance to inquire slowly. When he was full, he became tired, and when he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard the sound of whipping. With a jolt, Tong Shi woke up immediately, and listened attentively. The sound of whipping sounded unhurriedly, Tong Shi's internal organs contracted together, and the wound on his buttocks started to burn and hurt again. , It seems that I am being tortured.However, only the sound of whipping and the occasional clang of iron chains were heard, but no moan or begging for mercy was heard. Who was being tortured?
