Chapter 61 Ming Zun
Early in the morning, Guo Xi took his sister and the only cloth bag at home to line up at the foot of the mountain.

Today is the day when food is distributed once every ten days in the village.

The surrounding neighbors were all the same. They went out early and piled up in darkness down the hill.

Guo Xi held her sister's hand tightly along the way, feeling a little worried.

The reason is simple. A few days ago, when his father went out to look for food with the village leaders, he failed to come back.

There were hundreds of people who didn't come back that time, and there was even a rumor among the neighbors that none of the big bosses in the village came back.

Guo Xi is not worried about the boss, he is only worried about himself and his sister. His mother lost her leg when she fled into the mountains. Now there is no adult in the family. Because he and his sister are young, they can only do things like collecting firewood, weeding, and moving stones. Simple work of class...

How can these two useless people still receive food?

Everyone consciously lined up in a long line at the foot of the mountain. However, they kept waiting and waiting. The sun was rising high, but there was still no food shipped from the mountain.

Various whispers inevitably came from the crowd, making people feel uneasy.

What's going on?I saw some food being shipped back last time.

I looked around for a long time and carefully counted nineteen large cars!
Suddenly, there was a noise in front of him. Guo Xi climbed up to the house next to him and saw a dozen people coming down the mountain, some of whom had familiar looks.

They are from Guojiacun!Guo Xi felt a little relieved, but he didn't see the grain bags, which made him worried.

"Everyone, be quiet!" came the voice from over there, suppressing the noise at the scene.

"I'm announcing something now!" The steward's voice was loud: "Starting from today, no more food will be distributed in the village!"

As soon as his voice fell, the whole place was in an uproar again, and various voices came and went:

"Why didn't you post it?"

"Are you not going to send it today, or will you never send it in the future?"

"You can't do this! My man paid for this food with his life!"

"Well done to the head of the family, how can we orphans and widowed mothers survive without food?"

"Do you still want to go out to the mountains to find food? I'll go!"

……

"Everyone, be quiet!" The steward's voice was stern: "Listen to me!"

After shouting several times, the scene became quiet again.

"This is Mingzun's envoy! From now on, the envoy will be responsible for everyone's food in the village!" The steward's words made people confused.

Guo Xi looked carefully and saw that he was a very young man with fair skin and a tall figure. Except for his older clothes, he looked like a rich man.

However, this is a new face, I have never seen this person before!
Ming Zun’s messenger?Ming Zun?What are they?
"Everyone, get out of the way!" the steward shouted again, and at the same time, a dozen heroes from the mountain also opened the way among the crowd.

Soon, under the guidance of several stewards, the rich young man passed in front of Guo Xi, followed by the second master of the village.

They didn't go far and stopped in front of a clearing.

This was what the steward arranged for everyone to clean up two days ago. Guo Xi also helped remove the grass for a day.

The rich man stopped and threw a small object with his right hand.

Then suddenly, amidst the admiration of a group of people, the little thing grew from small to large, turning into a large two-story building, occupying the open space.

How is this going?How did this house come about?

Guo Xi also opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.

It took him a long time to realize that this was the magical power his father had mentioned before.I heard from my father that the village leaders are all experts with supernatural powers. Could it be that this messenger from a certain Ming Zun also has supernatural powers?Otherwise, how could you conjure a building out of thin air?
Several big shots talked to each other for a while.

The steward spoke again: "From now on, everyone can come here to receive a piece of food every morning! No need to cook by yourself!"

Oh, Guo Xi understood the meaning of these big shots. This method is indeed good. Before the food was distributed, many people had their food hidden at home stolen. They cried and cried and no one cared about it. Everyone had to work every day. Carry the food on your back.

Now that the village is responsible for cooking, this situation can be completely eliminated.

I just have to get up earlier in the future, otherwise what will happen if everyone else eats up all the food?
I just don’t know how much I can receive every day. Adults and children receive different amounts...

"But!" the steward shouted again: "Before receiving the meal, everyone must thank Mingzun for his kindness! Everyone shout to me!"

"The blazing holy fire, burn my remnant body!"

Everyone still couldn't figure out what he meant. It took a long time before someone shouted to him sparsely.

"The blazing holy fire, burn my remnant body!"

"It's fun to live, and it's hard to die!"

Everyone shouted in a bumpy voice, but the number of people shouting was increasing.

"It's fun to live, and it's hard to die!"

"For the good and the evil, there is only light!"

Guo Xi also joined in, but he only knew the sound and didn't know what it meant.

"For the good and the evil, there is only light!"

"Happiness and sorrow, all return to dust!"

Why do you shout this kind of thing?What is the relationship between Mingzun and Zhaizi?

"Happiness and sorrow, all return to dust!"

"Have mercy on me, there are so many sorrows!"

It doesn't matter, as long as you can have enough to eat, no matter what, you have to let your sister live no matter what.

"Have mercy on me, there are so many sorrows!"

"Have mercy on my people, we are full of sorrows!" Is this sentence repeated?When will you finish shouting?

"Have mercy on me, there are so many sorrows!"

"Everyone do it again!"

The steward led everyone to shout five more times. After seeing that everyone had shouted in order, he stopped: "Okay, everyone, line up outside the building!"

Everyone squeezed here and there, and it took a long time before they were able to line up again.

Fortunately, Guo Xi and the others were not far from the small building and were ranked near the front.

"Everyone, follow me and keep shouting!" The steward continued to direct: "The blazing holy fire will burn my remaining body!"

Everyone had no choice but to continue shouting these sentences with unclear meaning.

The team moved forward bit by bit, and after a while, it was finally the turn of Guo Xi and his sister Guo Sanmei.

The furnishings of the small building were similar to the restaurants that his father took him past when he went to town to sell vegetables. There were counters, tables and chairs, and a few heroes from the mountains were busy inside, taking out large round bowls and taking them to the restaurant. On the table at the door of the small building.

"What is your name?"

"Guo Xi."

"Have you received any food today?"

"No."

"Say thank you Mingzun for your blessing!"

"Thank you Mingzun for your blessing!"

"No, here it is!"

A large round bowl and a rectangular bag were stuffed into Guo Xi's hands.

My sister also received the meal, and the two hurriedly took the food back home.

Guo Xi felt a little strange holding the rice bowl. The bowl was very big, but it felt very soft and deformed with a slight pinch. It was covered with a milky white lid.

When I opened the lid, I was greeted by an aroma that I had never seen before.

Snow-white rice, ruddy fat meat, yellow and white vegetables, green beans, brown pickles, and... could this be chicken legs?
Guo Xi licked his mouth, opened it wide, and couldn't close it for a long time.

Is this the meal distributed every day?Is this really for me?Can you eat something like this every day?
The food at the landlord’s house isn’t that good either!
Guo Xi recalled what he saw when his father took him to work at the landlord's house in the village, and confirmed again that the landlord's food during the New Year was not so good!

It was so good that Guo Xi was afraid to eat it.

"Brother, look, there are chopsticks in here!"

His sister's voice came from the side. Guo Xi turned around and saw that his sister tore open the long bag and took out the contents.

There is a piece of paper as white as snow, a pair of bamboo chopsticks, a black spoon, and a small white strip.

They even gave us chopsticks and spoons?

"Brother, it's so delicious, so delicious!" The sister over there has already puffed up her cheeks: "There's meat! So fat, so fat meat!"

No matter what, after eating this meal, you are considered full to death!
Guo Xi stopped thinking so much, tore open the bag, took out the chopsticks and spoon, and started to cook.

Is this white rice?So soft, so sweet, without the slightest bit of musty smell, completely different from old corn, dry sorghum, and throat-grinding rice bran!
This meat is very fatty and very salty. How much salt do you need to put in it?This color should also contain miso!So delicious!

This dish is so crispy and sweet, and the pickles also have a lot of salt in them. It’s really...

"Brother, why are you crying?" came the worry from my sister next to me.

Guo Xi wiped his eyes, and sure enough, tears had filled his eyes.

"Brother is just happy, just happy!" Guo Xi didn't know why he was crying, but he just turned his head and looked at his sister.

My sister picked up the rice very quickly, and now only half of it is left.

"Here's the chicken leg for you!" Guo Xi put the chicken leg over and said, "Eat more."

"No, no, no!" My sister removed the big bowl and said, "Brother, you should eat more food. You have to do so much work every day. I also have a lot of fat meat here!"

"Yeah!" Guo Xi stopped insisting and continued to eat. He didn't care if he choked on his food. He knocked on his chest twice and continued to eat.

The burning hunger in my stomach was dissipated bit by bit, and the feeling of satisfaction and peace of mind that came from a full belly came to my heart.

The food in the bowl had long since disappeared, and the bones had been chewed clean. He poured water from the wooden kettle and licked up all the oil and water in the bowl. Guo Xicai lay down on the ground with his belly in his hands.

The sister next to her was the same, but she was still licking the bowl carefully for fear of breaking it.

Although they were told that they could only receive food once a day, neither brother nor sister had any intention of sharing some of the food and saving it for dinner.

Stay until night?There's no telling whose mouth the thing ended up in!
"Brother? Are we dreaming?" My sister finished her work and stared at the big bowl in a daze.

Guo Xi pinched himself and confirmed: "We are not dreaming! It's true!"

"Brother, tell me, the village won't give us food every day, okay?" My sister's voice was half hesitant and half longing.

"Maybe... I don't know..." Guo Xi shook his head: "This meal... probably wasn't given by the village... We didn't see the village transporting food..."

"Brother, who do you think Mingzun is?" The younger sister said with a smile on her face.

"Ming Zun?" Guo Xi recalled the slogans he had shouted dozens of times before, as well as the difficult-to-understand words in the slogans:
Holy fire, why joy, why pain, light, joy, have mercy on me, the world...

And this unimaginably sumptuous meal…

"Thank you Mingzun for your blessing?"

"Thank you Mingzun for your blessing!"
