Age group pet three and a half years old, ginseng and wild boar mixed with rice

As soon as Chen Shenghu finished speaking, his sister-in-law's laughter came from beside him, "Are you stupid, brother-in-law? You don't really believe that this ginseng has become a spirit?"

"You didn't see Lei in the morning..."

"Okay!" Chen Dayong interrupted the second son impatiently, "Your elder brother said it was a coincidence, don't scare yourself anymore."

"Father, it's not that I want to scare you. The thunder in the morning was really strange. It hit me and brother several times in a row."

Speaking of this, Chen Shenghu swallowed his saliva, turned to look at his brother, "Brother, are you talking?"

His brother Chen Jinbiao looked unnatural, "What do you want me to say? If there is something wrong with this ginseng, why don't you strike lightning now?"

In order to appear brave in front of his wife, he said with a straight face, "Second brother, if you are so scared, go back to the house and hide under the blanket!"

Holding his son in his arms, his wife "giggled" and laughed.

After laughing for a while, she said, "Uncle, why didn't you realize that you are so timid before? You were actually bluffed by a little girl's words."

"Don't talk about it, that girl is very smart." The person who spoke was her mother-in-law, who was also Chen Dayong's daughter-in-law, and everyone called her Aunt Yong.

"Ling what? Could it be that she has opened her mouth?"

Aunt Yong said: "Didn't she say that the Lin family's daughter-in-law was unlucky before? That big girl fell into the latrine that night. Although the captain said it was a coincidence, I still think that girl is unusual."

Her daughter-in-law joked, "What do you mean? Mother, you don't believe that this ginseng can strike people with lightning, do you?"

"I didn't say that, but I just think that the girl picked up by the Jiang family has a good mouth."

"I have lived to such an old age, but I have never seen anyone who dug up ginseng and was finally struck by lightning." Chen Dayong said.

His daughter-in-law thought about it for a while, and agreed: "That's right, that ginseng is not thunder, even if it becomes a spirit, it is impossible to thunder. The most important thing is to run faster, so that it is not easy to be caught."

"Okay, don't worry about it," Chen Dayong put the chopsticks on the table, and said, "This bet is a sure win for our family! Tomorrow we can not only get a big bag of fern roots from Jiang Qingshan's house, but also get five yuan from his eldest son."

Chen Jinbiao smiled and said, "Father, we've made a lot of money this time! Not only have we made money, but we've also saved face. That Da Dongzi will have to apologize to us in person tomorrow. Think about it! I'm going to give him a good scolding!"

"That's right! If you want others to give us face, you have to be tough enough to do things, and you have to fight to be justified!"

Speaking of this, Chen Dayong looked at his second son, "Huzi, you and your brother should learn a little bit, you are still not bold enough."

"Got it, Dad." Chen Shenghu lowered his head.

His father put the ginseng on the table, bragged about it again, the more he talked, he patted his chest, "As long as your father and I are still in the position of scorekeeper, even the branch secretary will give us face, right?"

"That's for sure! Dad also remembered the branch secretary's work points!"

The family was chatting vigorously when there was a sudden "bang" outside the window. The lightning flashed and thundered outside the window. The lightning was like a giant dragon hovering in the air, piercing the sky with its teeth and claws, instantly illuminating the night like day.

The thunder was majestic, compared to the thunder that struck near the Chen brothers in the morning, it seemed like a joke.

The older generation in the village said that the weather was weird, and they said, "Ah! Thunder and snow, blood everywhere, it's either a plague or a catastrophe!"

"Father," Chen Shenghu said in fear, "could it be that ginseng essence? I, I think we should hurry... and send the ginseng back to Jiang's house, shall we?"

His father was also a little panicked at the moment, pretending to be calm and said: "What are you talking about? This is just ordinary thunder. Have you never seen thunder? What does it have to do with ginseng? If you talk nonsense, be careful and I will beat you!"

Seeing that his father raised his hand to hit him, Chen Shenghu hurriedly dodged back, "I won't say anything, it's fine if I don't, really."

Less than 5 minutes later, another burst of thunder sounded, "Boom!"

The sound was louder than before, like a warning.

"Wooooow..." Shocked by the thunder, Chen Jinbiao's son raised his head and kept crying, "Woooooo..."

"Biaozi, take your son back to the house!" Chen Dayong said.

His eldest son looked at the ginseng on the table, hesitated for a while, finally gritted his teeth, said nothing, hugged his son in one hand, and led his wife back to the house with the other.

In the Jiang family, the little Lingbao, who was full, put his hands on the window, looked at the sky with a pair of golden eyes, and counted in his mouth, "99, 98..."

Her mother carefully opened the curtain and saw that Lingbao was counting silently, without saying anything, she slowly lowered the curtain.

"Mother, what is Lingbao doing?" Wu Chaozi asked in a low voice.

"It's counting by the window, don't go in and disturb her." Shen Su'e made a "shh" gesture to her sons.

Wu Chaozi originally wanted his mother to ask Lingbao if the thunder outside had anything to do with her, but now he looked confused, "Count?"

His elder brother explained, "I guess Lingbao is giving the Chen family a chance. Lingbao is too soft-hearted and won't strike the Chen family with lightning immediately."

"Oh, that makes sense. If that guy Chen Dayong and his two sons got to know each other better and returned the ginseng to us before Lingbao finished counting, Lingbao might not have hacked them." Si Haizi said.

His fifth younger brother "tsk tsk" twice, shook his head and said, "People like them don't shed tears when they see the coffin, and they definitely won't return it."

Lingbao counted down to "1", and the golden light in his eyes became brighter.

At the same time, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the Chen family's kitchen. Immediately afterwards, red sparks flew everywhere, and the whole kitchen instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

"Oh! The head of the house!" Seeing the flames rising into the sky outside the window, Aunt Yong shouted impatiently, "It's on fire! The kitchen is on fire! Oh, all the food is in the kitchen, what should I do? There are two big bags of corn on the cob, oh..."

Soon, the whole village knew that the Chen family had been struck by lightning.

"Have you heard? The Chen family is on fire. The thunder just hit the kitchen directly, and the whole kitchen is on fire."

"Oh, is that person okay?"

"People are fine, but the food is probably burned up."

The people who lived near Chen’s house helped put out the fire. Seeing that the kitchen had been burned to ashes, they comforted them and said, “Fortunately, this kitchen is far away from other houses. Otherwise, if such a big fire started, all your houses would be burned down.”

Many of them whispered, "Isn't this too effective? Didn't they bet with the Jiang family this morning? Because of the ginseng thing."

"Yeah, I thought the Chen family must have won this time, but I didn't expect their family to be struck by lightning."

"So they robbed Jiang's family of ginseng?"

"That's right, they have robbed people once or twice. Before my father went to the mountains to dig a few pieces of Maoyao, they were snatched away by Chen Dayong's two sons. They threatened my father. If they don't hand them over, my father's work points will be halved next year. How arrogant."
