Text Chapter 112 Lao Guo¡¯s evil spirit

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Guo family has an ancestral cattle-killing craft, and the family's bezoar method started from the day he killed the cow.  He has seen bezoar several times over the years, so he is familiar with it.

    After entering the house, the person did not listen to what others said. He just lightly rubbed the thing with his fingers a few times, then put it on the tip of his tongue and licked it. Then he spit, and the saliva was also dyed light yellow.

    Seeing everyone looking at him nervously, Lao Guo nodded and said, "It's natural bezoar. Such a piece of bezoar weighs at least ten grams and can be worth two to three thousand yuan."

    Hearing this, everyone started talking again, praising Mr. Liu Wu for his good luck. Many people didn't like it when he bought the scalper.  People say that this cow is too thin, and when you look at the hair all over its body, you know it is difficult to take care of.  If I take it back and raise it for a year, I guess it won't be able to adjust properly.

    Liu Wuye thought it was cheap at the time, so he thought he would go back and get more eggs to feed, and maybe they could be transferred over in a few months.  Little did he know that the green grass was supplied every day and he had two gourds for every meal, but he didn't fatten the cow.  He also planned to sell the cow after it gave birth to a calf, but in April, he drove several times to the town and found nothing suitable for breeding.  He was also thinking about going there again in a few days, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. It was a blessing in disguise.

    Now there is no longer any frustration on his face, and he accepts everyone¡¯s congratulations with a smile.

    "No wonder people say "one tael of bezoar and one tael of gold". Such a small lump of stuff is worth two to three thousand yuan?  Liu Junhao looked at the bezoar in disbelief.  But when he thought about his own Tai Sui, he suddenly felt relieved.

    However, his curiosity was still undiminished. He reached out and touched the bezoar, and then put his hand on the tip of his tongue like Lao Guo. Suddenly, a cold air spread along the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue.  The taste is slightly bitter, followed by a bit of sweetness.

    "Uncle Xiao Hao, what does this smell like?" The little boy also squeezed forward and wanted to rub his finger.

    ¡°It¡¯s sweet, almost like rock candy,¡± Liu Junhao joked with a smile.

    This naughty kid just wanted to stretch out his hand.  But he was dragged back by his father.  He slapped his butt and said, "You kid can't hear good words. That thing is a bitter place."

    After Lao Guo appraised it, he wanted to buy the bezoar on the spot.  But Liu Wuye didn't agree with anything.  He said that his wife had a slight migraine.  He was going to use bezoar to make medicine.

    "Bezoar can treat migraine. Why haven't I heard about it?" Lao Guo asked curiously.

    "You haven't heard of Land Duo. This is the ancestral place of our old Liu family." Liu Guangquan also said.

    Almost everyone knows the medicinal material from Liujiagou used in this folk prescription.  However, only a few elderly people still know the proportion of medicine.  Young people are not interested in this stuff at all.

    In the past, old Liu Tou often grumbled in front of Liu Junhao.  He also has a rough idea.  There are more than ten kinds of medicinal materials such as clove, costus, borneol, musk, bezoar and so on.

    "Whether it works or not, give me a pair if it really works. Our third child got migraine at a young age and complains of headaches every day. Sometimes I can't even eat, and I get nauseous and vomiting after just a few bites."  "

    Since the road was built, Lao Guo's business has become more and more prosperous.  Now his beef shop cannot do without people.  Naturally, he was able to go to Liujiagou this time because he had heard about people killing cattle to get bezoars, and he was going to pay to buy it and make a small profit.

    Seeing that Mr. Liu Wu refused to sell, he went back to take care of the shop.  But as soon as I heard that there was a prescription for treating migraine, I was not in a hurry to leave.

    "This prescription is definitely a one-time cure for migraine, but it's hard to find medicinal materials now. You probably can't buy musk in the county. The little musk I keep at home is from the mountains when I was young.  It was caused by a deer, and we haven¡¯t seen this thing in Daqingshan for 20 or 30 years." Mr. Liu Wu then said with some sigh.

    Finally, Lao Guo talked about the processing of bezoar. This thing cannot be exposed to the sun, as it will easily burn the surface and affect the quality.

    After explaining the matter to himself, he suddenly asked: "I heard that there is a young man in Liujiagou who raises eels very well. Can anyone take me to his house to have a look? My daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child now. What will she eat these days?  They don¡¯t taste good, so I¡¯m going to get a few kilograms of eels to give her a fresh taste.¡±

    "Haha" Everyone laughed when they heard what he said.

    "It's not just this naughty kid, you should just follow him." Liu Wuye pointed at Liu Junhao and said.

    "You are Liu Daxue. You have learned a lot today. You can tell that you are a cultured person. Do you still have eels at home?" Lao Guo looked at him as if he was sizing up a rare animal.

    "We are farmers wherever we are. There are eels at any time." Liu Junhao said and led the way, leading Lao Guo towards his home.

    "Watch out for the dog,"The dogs in the courtyard are quite ferocious.  "He warned before entering the house. These days, Black Panther will basically bark when someone comes to the house.

    Who knew that after opening the door, a shocking situation would occur: the black panther ran up to Lao Guo and wagged its tail, but Xiaopi, who had always been docile, pounced on him, with his sparse fur completely erected, as if he wanted to fight Lao Guo desperately.

    "Xiaopi, get out of here." Liu Junhao waved his hands several times before it reluctantly retreated.

    Although Pi retreated to the edge of the kennel, he did not relax his vigilance at all.  Still making a low whine from his mouth, he was obviously in a very excited state.

    "After all, it's the yellow-spotted skin. He's so powerful. He dared to pounce on me when he saw it. If you hadn't stopped me quickly just now, I'm afraid you would have at least bitten me." Lao Guo touched the black panther's head and said with a little emotion.

    "Oh? What do you mean?" Liu Junhao was also wondering at this moment. This was the first time he encountered Xiaopi like this.  Normally this dog would just bark twice when seeing a stranger. As soon as he opened his mouth to scold him, he would immediately retreat, but this time it was obviously different.

    "You have forgotten what my background is, a cattle slaughterer. In the past ten years, I have passed away not only a thousand but also seven or eight hundred cattle. Normally, those scalpers' legs will become weak when they see me, just like ordinary people.  Even native dogs are scared." Lao Guo said proudly.

    Evil spirit?  Liu Junhao was a little confused.  Animals are the most sensitive to people's aura. It is probably because Xiaopi noticed the unsettling evil aura on his body, so he was always vigilant.

    "By the way, don't be upset if I ask you something. I'm just asking casually." Lao Guo's words flickered when he spoke.

    "Haha, just ask." Liu Junhao didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

    "Why does this dog in your yard look familiar to me?" he asked, touching the black panther's head.

    "Haha, this is the dog of Zhao Guangming's family." Although Liu Junhao didn't understand how he was so familiar with Black Panther, he also understood the subtext: he just didn't say that his dog was stolen.

    After carefully explaining the cause and effect, Lao Guo smiled a little: "This yellow-spotted man is really capable. He also turned the black panther over. I asked him why he didn't come to my place in the past two days."

    Seeing that Liu Junhao didn't know why, he explained: "This dog was born by my bitch, and she gave birth to five in one litter. The black panther asked the boy from the Zhao family to beg for it. But it recognizes its family and usually likes to go to me.  I run at the beef stall, so I¡¯m quite familiar with it.¡±

    "I said so." This time the misunderstanding was completely explained.  Liu Junhao slapped his head and quickly stood up to pour tea and cigarettes for others.

    After Lao Guo lit up a cigarette, he became interested in the fire in his house again. After sighing for a while, he finally remembered about the eel.

    Liu Junhao got him two pounds of eel, but he didn't ask for money.  He said that this was an advance payment for beef, and he would go to his stall to get a few kilograms of beef back in a few days.

    When Lao Guo heard this, he laughed loudly and even said that he would leave three kilograms of good beef for him.

    The weather was originally gloomy in the morning, but unexpectedly the sun came out near noon. Suddenly the magpies on the tree began to chirp, and the water ducks flapped their wings and surrounded Liu Junhao in search of food.

    Pi tried several times but couldn't drive them away, so he had no choice but to get half a bowl of broken rice from the house and sprinkle it on the ground, letting them spit.

    The large group of chirping and noisy sparrows on the top of the poplar branches immediately flew down and landed among the ducks, chasing each other and grabbing food.

    At this time, the little turtle dove also flew over from next door, and Professor Zhao appeared at the door as expected.

    "Xiao Hao, lend me your sickle. Later I will go to the river beach to cut some reed wood and build a fence to surround the yard."

    "What's going on again? You need a lot of reeds for the courtyard wall. I guess you will be busy for most of the day." Liu Junhao hurriedly handed him a chair.

    "It's not the lambs from Liu Laosan's family who are causing trouble. They have been staring at my vegetable patch these days. Four or five sheep will run over and gnaw if I'm not paying attention. They gnawed all the ridges of cabbage planted in the spring." Zhao  The professor said extremely depressed.  These were all trivial matters, and he was too embarrassed to tell others about them.

    The ewes of Liu Laosan¡¯s family gave birth to five lambs at one time in the spring, which was widely spread among the villagers for a while.

    Now the lamb is half-stalled and cannot be tied, so it is running wild in and outside the village, which is very troublesome.

    "That's to build a fence. How about I go with you? I have a pull cart in the house. I'll get it out later, inflate the tires, and use it to load reeds. It only takes two trips."

    "Well, this saves a lot of trouble." After Professor Zhao said that, the two of them went to the side.??Go and lift the cart.

    Pulling a cart can also be regarded as the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people, and it evolved from the cart.  The weight is much lighter than that of a cart, and it is usually pulled by oxen or donkeys.  If there are really no animals, people can also pull it.

    "Boy, how long has this cart been useless?" After lifting the cart out, Professor Zhao pointed at the shriveled wheels and shook his head.

    "Normally I don't need this thing at all," Liu Junhao said and found a pump from the house to pump up.  It seems that this pull cart has been placed in the side house untouched since the death of old Liu Tou. If it were not for pulling reeds, I am afraid it would have been completely retired.
