Xianggui

There were screams hovering in the sky, and Beiquan Village suddenly became lively.

The barking of dogs, the crowing of chickens, ducks and geese, and the cries of people merged together, and it was terrifying in the middle of the night.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, where is the ghost..."

"Ghost, it's gone to Shopkeeper Ding's house."

Hei Wa didn't want to bark at first, but when she heard so much noise, she also stood up and barked wildly.

Ding Xiang was frightened out of her wits.As soon as she hit the ground, she quickly untied the belt, opened the door of the east chamber, and dragged the flight bag into the house.

Ding Zhuang had already opened the window and looked at the little figure in surprise.

Ding Zhao and Zhang Shi also rushed out of the north room, blocking Ding Xiang in the hall room.

The big white hood scared them all, and Mrs. Zhang screamed.

Ding Zhao went over to take off the headgear, it was Ding Xiang or someone else.

With a gloomy face, Ding Zhao picked up Ding Xiang and threw it to the south room, closing the door.He blocked Feifei with his feet to prevent it from entering the house, carried him out of the east chamber, and closed the door of the east chamber.

Yang Hu and his wife, Ding Liren and Ding Lilai all ran out.

"what happened?"

"Where is the ghost?"

Someone outside shouted again:
"The ghost has entered Shopkeeper Ding's house, take a torch and go take a look."

"Hurry up and let shopkeeper Ding kill chickens and dogs, and let the blood of chickens and dogs go."

……

Many people ran out, and the brave ones came to Ding's house to knock on the door.

"Shopkeeper Ding, quickly check to see if something unclean has entered your house."

Ding Shan also ran over, "Second brother, is your house okay? Hurry up and kill a chicken, and invite a Taoist priest to perform the ritual tomorrow."

Ding Zhao and Ding Zhuang looked at each other, and went to open the courtyard door.

Ding Zhao smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to disturb the neighbors. It's my Feifei, who didn't play enough during the day, and flew over the yard with a basket in his mouth at night."

He pointed to Feifei and the basket in the yard.

The tan basket glowed white in the starlight.

Feifei was not happy, he opened his mouth wide and howled at them, "Quack quack quack..."

The person who saw the "ghost" got up in the middle of the night to go to the latrine, saw two balls floating in the sky above Ding's courtyard, and cried out in fright.

Due to fear, he didn't see clearly, scratched his head and said, "I seem to see a big white face."

Ding Zhao pointed to the basket and said, "The basket is dangling around, it doesn't look like a big face."

The man looked at the leopard eagle, then at the basket, and it seemed to be them.

He said angrily, "Old shopkeeper Ding, shopkeeper Ding, you guys are going to scare people to death in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I finished shitting, otherwise shit would be in my crotch."

Everyone laughed a few times and went home.This happened in the middle of the night, everyone was angry, but they didn't dare to do anything to Ding Zhuang and his son.

They all knew that the second and third children of the Ding family liked to let the leopard eagle fly with them.

Ding Xiang knew that she had caused trouble, so she stood obediently in the house.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao walked into the East Chamber, Mrs. Zhang wanted to follow, Ding Zhuang said, "We have something to do, you take the two boys to sleep."

Shut Zhang Shi and Feifei outside the east chamber door.

Ding Liren and Ding Lilai were still standing in the yard, but were dragged away by Mrs. Yang Hu and his wife also returned to their house.

Feifei was very upset, and pecked at the door vigorously with her sharp beak.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao walked into the south room, and Ding Zhao lit the oil lamp.

The room was brightened immediately, and Lilac stood in the center of the room, with flying bags, torches, headgear, a few sticks of honey butter incense, a green stone, a big ginseng, and a clod of soil beside him.

Ding Zhuang understood a little bit, and asked with a heavy face, "Did Feifei take you into the mountain to chop Honey Zhixiang back?"

Ding Xiang nodded with her drooping head, and gave a soft "hmm".

Ding Zhuang asked again, "Ganoderma lucidum, apples, and apple branches are all brought to the mountains by Feifei to pick them?"

Ding Xiang raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, she sucked her nose and said, "Xiangxiang didn't want grandpa to die, and thought that apples would bring peace, so she asked Feifei to take me to pick red apples when I was at grandpa's house. Feifei really brought I went to the mountains, where there were red apples and Ganoderma lucidum for healing, so I picked them back. I didn’t dare to tell the truth because my grandparents were worried.”

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and twisted his little dirty fingers covered in mud.

Ding Zhuang was angry, afraid and distressed, he suppressed his rage and asked, "How many times have you been there?"

"Counting this time, I went there three times. First, I didn't know Mizhixiang. After reading the book in the study, I remembered that I had seen it in the mountains. I want to earn more money to open a shop. I want my family to live a good life and not let my grandfather. It was too hard. Feifei took me there once on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and brought back three. I went there again today, and you all saw these things.”

Ding Zhao said airily, "Do you know how dangerous it is to let an eagle take you into the mountain? If Feifei's mouth is not biting, you will fall, and you will be eaten by wild animals if you don't fall to your death. If I take you into the mountains and don't come out, you will starve to death if you are not eaten by wild animals..."

Ding Zhuang suppressed his voice and roared at Ding Zhao, "You also know that you will die like that, why don't you take good care of the child? The child is ignorant, and you are still ignorant at your age? The child lives opposite you. Are you What do you think of her!"

"Father, I..." Ding Zhao was speechless.

Ding Zhuang's big slap suddenly lifted, and Ding Xiang closed her eyes in fright.

With a crisp "pa", the slap didn't land on Ding Xiang's body, but on Ding Zhao's face.Ding Zhuang picked up a stool and hit Ding Zhao.

"You fucking almost killed Xiangxiang, I must beat you to death today."

Ding Xiang burst into tears, "Grandpa, don't hit Daddy, it's my fault..."

The stool in Ding Zhuang's hand continued to hit Ding Zhao hard.

Ding Xiang screamed and hugged Ding Zhuang's leg, "Grandpa, it's my fault, don't hit Daddy..."

Ding Zhuang was afraid of hurting Ding Xiang, so he put down the stool, kept his legs still, and slapped Ding Zhao hard on the face.

Ding Zhao was beaten until his head was hanging and his nose was bleeding. He didn't even dare to hide, and just stood there in a daze while being beaten.

When Mrs. Zhang, Ding Liren and Ding Lilai heard this, they all ran to knock on the door and begged.

"Father, don't be angry, old man, if you have something to say..."

"Grandpa, please stop beating..."

Feifei was even more unhappy. He yelled "Aww", and the big sharp beak pecked at the door even more vigorously, and countless small holes had been pecked out by it.

Ding Xiang knelt down and hugged Ding Zhuang's leg and screamed, hiccupping from crying, her little face turned purple.

It took Ding Zhuang a full quarter of an hour to stop, and he sat down on the couch with Lilac in his arms and sulked.

He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and his hands kept shaking.Although he was moved by Xiangxiang's filial piety towards him, he would rather die himself than Dingxiang to take that risk.

Let the leopard eagle carry her to the mountains, thanks to her thinking!

This kid is smart, but too courageous.If you don't educate them well, you don't know what kind of disaster you will cause in the future.

Ding Xiang hugged him and cried, "Grandpa, don't dare to go again next time, don't go again, don't be angry..." She said weakly, "Uncle Wu said I'm very prosperous, am I fine?"
