Chapter 13 Blood Food Gang

 “Tai Sui…”

Hu Ma murmured in her heart: "So this is the Tai Sui master my mother-in-law mentioned..."

 However, how could there be such a huge and bloated piece of meat in this world that just grew out of the earth?

How do they dare to eat something that is obviously unreasonable and even shocking?

 No, just feed it to me?

For a moment, this strong impact took him more than ten breaths to recover, and countless thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind. He even felt twitching in his chest, almost swallowing the food he had eaten before. The Tai Sui meat that went down was completely vomited out.

 “How about wishing you a good life?”

At this time, the second master also noticed the pale look on Hu Ma's face and believed him. This boy really didn't remember anything.

Sighing softly, he patted Hu Ma's shoulder and said: "You don't know how difficult it is for my mother-in-law to cut off this kind of Tai Sui for you. Even though what you see now is such a big mountain of flesh, but this Tai Sui master, not every part Everything is edible.”

“Most of them have black meat and are called Black Tai Sui. Of course, they can be cut off and eaten, but if people eat them, some bad things will happen.”

Hu Ma suddenly woke up and said hurriedly: "What?"

“Some people eat it, and they become evil spirits. Some people eat it, and they can’t distinguish between true and false in the world..."

The second master said: "Of course, most of them got sick and died after eating them, or had other weird problems."

He pointed at the huge mountain of flesh. There seemed to be a big pit in a certain section, and the surface was somewhat similar to the position of layers of incisions. He said: "The side facing the sun, which is white in color, is the one that can be cut." Come down and eat.”

"This kind is called Bai Tai Sui. Nothing will happen if you eat it. On the contrary, it will make you strong. It is better than eating grains."

“And it’s better than Bai Tai Sui, which is called Qing Tai Sui. Eating that kind can even cure diseases and prolong life!”

“Of course, these don’t just appear after they are cut. Every time they are cut, they have to wait for Mr. Tai Sui to slowly recover and grow back again.”

“The Blood Food Gang in the mansion comes here once a year and recruits people from our village to cut meat for them. We only do it once a year to earn wages and keep some for our own village to eat.”

"Your second master, I have been working as a meat cutter all my life, and those boys also learned this skill of cutting Tai Sui with my hands."

“Of course, it’s called cutting off Tai Sui, but that’s too disrespectful, so we all call it, worshiping Tai Sui…”

　　　…”

 “Cutting meat? Do you still need to learn this?”

Hu Ma felt that all this was so bizarre and asked subconsciously.

 “Look at my brain.”

The second master slapped his forehead and said to Hu Ma, "But you are quite forgetful, aren't you?"

He said with a hint of warning: "Little Huma, you must remember that I will bring you over to see the second master. It's okay, but when you are on your own, don't get close to Master Tai Sui."

“The meat of Master Tai Sui can ward off evil spirits, cure diseases, and prolong life, but it can also easily attract evil spirits. Why are there so many evil spirits around our forest village? It’s because Master Tai Sui exists here..."

“Second Master, my ability is far inferior to that of your mother-in-law. She is a serious wanderer. Second Master, I am just a miner.”

"Those kids are learning skills from Second Master and me, just to wait for the Blood Food Gang people to come down, work for others and make some money. Of course, they only do this job for three or four years, unlike Second Master and me. , I have been doing this all my life.”

　　　…”

"so…"

Hearing this, Hu Ma gradually came to his senses: "Second Master, your skill is to ward off evil spirits?"

 “That’s right…”

Second Master smiled and touched Hu Ma's head and said: "Second Master, I have learned my skills so that I am less likely to attract evil spirits, so I can do this job. You don't know that our village is poor, and we are poor all year round." How many handfuls of grain can you pack?"

“It’s only by worshiping Tai Sui once a year that I can earn some money. Those boys also came to learn from me because of this little money.”

Hu Ma nodded slowly and suddenly thought: "Since Tai Sui is so valuable, why don't you cut it yourself and sell it?"

 “Tai Sui is indeed valuable.”

Second Master nodded slowly and said: "But without the Blood Food Gang watching, no one would dare to cut..."

 “You can’t make any money, hehe, it’s more like getting into trouble...”

"Before the Blood Food Gang came down, the only person I knew who could cut off Tai Sui by herself was your mother-in-law. Of course, you shouldn't tell anyone about it."

　　　…”

Hearing what the second master said, Hu Ma vaguely understood something.

This kind of thing happened many times in the past life. The African states that produced blood diamonds did not make much money from blood diamonds.

 In oil-rich countries, not all countries are so rich that they are rich in oil.

Especially in Triangle, which produces such-and-such gadgets, the locals are very poor...

 …himself, he vaguely discovered the similarities between the two worlds.

 However, he knew that his mother-in-law had the ability to cut Tai Sui by herself, but the second master seemed to have misunderstood. What her mother-in-law cut was not just Bai Tai Sui...

Thinking silently in his heart, he asked tentatively: "Which one is better than Qing Tai Sui?"

The second master chuckled and said: "Of course there is, Master Taisui is not only found in our Laoyin Mountain, but also in other mountains, and some even in cities, there are also mountains of meat rising up one after another. Woolen cloth."

"The larger the meat, the more prone to some rare parts. The older Bai is just the same as that of Green. It is more common. It can be cut at a fixed point, but the others are rare." If the blood is too old, it will not grow back even if it is cut for three years."

“But the utility and value are infinitely higher than those of Qing Tai Sui. Even one tael of gold cannot buy it..."

　　　…”

 “So expensive?”

I have long known about the precious flax in Xue Tai Sui. I was still slightly surprised when I heard this, and I was deeply curious:

 “Then what’s the use of eating it?”

　　　…”

"have no idea."

The second master said: "Second master, I have dug out a small piece of Tai Sui's blood in my life. I broke my head with three miners before I finally got it. But this precious thing, let alone eating it, I can't bear to smell it." , I immediately gave it to the foreman and exchanged it for a small gold pancake."

 “Hey, you don’t know how valuable this little gold cake is.”

He said with a beaming expression: "In our village, I can marry whose mother-in-law I want."

“I can still buy enough food for several years to build a small hanging building...”

　　　…”

"That…"

Hearing this, Hu Ma couldn't help but think, the second master usually lives outside the village and the environment is average. Where is your small hanging building? Where is the mother-in-law?

 Er Ye seemed to know what he was thinking, and seemed to realize that Hu Ma couldn't remember anything now.

He sighed: "His eldest father, Zhao Laojiu, pushed Pai Gow with me and won my little golden pancake. Didn't you see that the most beautiful little hanging building in the village belongs to his family, and it was also because of me." Xiaojincake is the one who married the most beautiful girl from the Zhou family..."

 “How else would I know that the little golden pancake is so useful?”

　　　…”

Hu Ma didn’t know what to say for a moment. It seemed to have touched the second master’s sadness...

 But also because of listening to this, he gradually realized what he had experienced since he woke up.

 I have been eating Tai Sui blood.

 He clearly remembered that he ate Tai Sui every day, and it was no less than a pound.

　　　I am almost exhausted.

It was only under the threat of my mother-in-law’s eyes that I reluctantly swallowed it...

If the blood of Tai Sui is more expensive than gold, wouldn't it mean that he has eaten more than a pound of gold every day?

　　…But where does my mother-in-law have the ability to actually use this thing as a meal for herself?

Of course, no matter how powerful the mother-in-law is, she cannot have endless blood. Otherwise, why would she stay in this village?

Probably this was the reason why I was sent to the Second Master.

Only if you get the blessings of your ancestors, or learn the Second Master's ability to ward off evil spirits, can you truly live without relying on Tai Sui meat?

 “Second Master…”

 He thought to himself, trying to make himself look more like an ignorant person who doesn't remember anything: "Then how can I learn your skills?"

 “It’s not easy to learn what I do!”

The second master is a free and easy man. He forgot about his gold cake as soon as he turned around. He picked up the flax and threw it on his back. He turned around and walked into the forest. He said with a smile: "Second master, I have the ability. One is to have a strong body and good innate talent, and the other is to be able to endure hardship and be patient.”

“Who doesn’t want to earn money from cutting meat mines? But why are there only a few people who learn my skills from the second master? Because they can’t learn.”

“You are still injured now. Logically speaking, I should let you recover and then take a good look at your foundation.”

"It's just that my mother-in-law said it's more important. In addition, in order to treat your illness, my mother-in-law fed you so much Tai Sui meat... It should be Qing Tai Sui, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so good... So, there should be no problem with your body and bones. It won’t be a problem.”

“Tonight, the second master will light the stove for you first!”

　　　…”

 “Light the stove, what is this?”

While Hu Ma was thinking about it, he had no time to ask clearly. The second master led him into the forest in large strides.

This time he didn't start running, nor did his body become hot. The deep forest seemed much deeper and deeper. Hu Ma even heard some rustling sounds around him without knowing it. When he looked carefully, there was only some sound. The branches quietly retracted.

"And if I want to light a stove, the first step is to find you a godmother."

Second Master was carrying flax on his back and looking for it in the forest, but he stopped under a big willow tree by the stream.

I don’t know how many years this willow tree has grown. Its trunk is close to its embrace, its branches are hanging down, and the black holes are like thousands of strands of hair.

 “Little Hu Ma, kneel down and kowtow, be pious.”

The second master put down Hu Ma and said: "Second master, I will bear witness. From now on, this is your godmother."
