Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 114 Ming

Lan Yuliu warned Zhu Hu that she must not let Zhu Hu know that her surname was not Lan, but Liu. A person outside the window heard it clearly.

This person stayed under the window of Zhu Hu's house for a long time. Lan Yuliu called Zhu Hu, Xieyanpo and Zhu Fanzi to enter the room where she lived. At the same time, the person moved under the window of this room.

Zhu Hu's house is the east side room in the front yard of the old house. The room where Lan Yuliu lives is located in the last room after entering from the main door of Zhu Hu's house. The window is close to the east wall of the old house. Standing in front of the window, you can see the Taiping Pond and the big camphor tree. There is the earth platform under the big camphor tree. Lan Yuliu chose such a room to live in because of this window.

Zhu Hu assured Lan Yuliu that he and Xianyanpo would not be able to reveal such important information even if they were beaten to death. He and she kept calling Yuliu in front of Zhu Badger.

Lan Yuliu said: "There is no need to beat you to death. I just slapped you two on the ear and told you everything. I really don't understand how her uncle told you such a confidential matter?"

"He didn't tell me, it was me who overheard him unintentionally." Zhu Hu subconsciously covered his face, fearing that Lan Yuliu would suddenly scratch his ear.

Seeing Zhu Hu's appearance, Zhu Shanzi sarcastically said: "A sick cat is a sick cat, and it can only do things like stealing chickens and dogs. How can we expect it to become a fierce tiger, powerful in the mountains and forests, and attacking cities and villages for me."

"Zhu Shanzi, what do you mean? Believe it or not, I will drive you out of my house and let you starve to death under the big camphor tree." Zhu Hu was afraid of the blue jade willow but not Zhu Shanzi, and did not take him seriously at all.

Zhu Fanzi's eyes showed a fierce look, he poked Zhu Hu's nose with the folding fan in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Please be more careful with me, believe it or not, I will slap you to death with my fan!"

"No, no, no, I didn't make up my mind, I didn't make up my mind, how dare I make up your mind?" Zhu Hu quickly retreated until he reached the opposite wall.

Lan Yuliu was half lying on the bed. If she hadn't been as cold as ice and with a fierce look on her face, Zhu Fanzi and Zhu Hu would have been unable to restrain their surging hearts. It would have been romantic to die under the peonies.

Lan Yuliu turned over and sat up, and said sternly: "Keep your distance. You can't try to take advantage of me until I achieve my goal."

"Why are you two arguing? Listen carefully to what I'm talking about." Lan Yuliu scolded Zhu Hu and Zhu Fanzi. Zhu Fanzi and Zhu Hu immediately stood in front of Lan Yuliu's bed.

"It's a beautiful thought. I'm imitating Yuliu's voice. Do you really believe it?" the squinty-eyed woman snickered.

Lan Yuliu thought of the flat-mouthed woman and got out of bed so excitedly that she forgot that she was only wearing a silk nightgown, causing Zhu Fanzi and Zhu Hu to almost faint. The two people just stared at her, especially when she was standing by the window. The light in the room and the lightning outside reflected her exquisite body.

There was lightning and thunder, and the rain was pouring. In the house, only the dull thunder and the rushing of heavy rain could be heard. The room where Lan Yuliu lived was close to the wall and the roadside, and the thunder and rain could be heard more clearly, as if the thunder was coming from behind. The sound of the explosion above his head caused the rain to fall on him, which provided favorable conditions for the person outside the window to eavesdrop on their conversation. Of course, that person couldn't hear the words of Lan Yuliu, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Fanzi very clearly inside, but it was better to hear something than to hear nothing at all.

Just when Zhu Shanzi was about to scold Zhu Hu in return, Lan Yuliu slapped the bed board and got off the bed and said excitedly: "Why did I forget about her? She can be our trump card."

After walking around the room excitedly for several times, Lan Yuliu walked to the window and looked at the faint camphor tree reflected by the lightning and asked Zhu Shanzi and Zhu Hu: "Do you think she will listen to us? What do we mean? Is it a better time to fight back?”

The slant-eyed woman held a basin of water and poured it on Zhu Hu and Zhu Fan, cursing: "Is she that good? I asked you to kiss one of them, but if you can't avoid it, then drink my foot-washing water."

"Why don't you get out of here?" Lan Yuliu kicked Zhu Fanzi and Zhu Hu again.

After waiting for a long time, Lan Yuliu didn't hear the response from Zhu Fanzi and Zhu Hu. She turned around in confusion. When she saw the appearance of the two people, she was so angry that she went over and kicked each of them hard and cursed: "It's true that dogs can't change their ways of eating shit. The world is as dark as crows, and no man is good."

Zhu Shanzi disagreed and said with a smile: "Yu Liu, your goal will definitely be achieved, and Lao Chen's goal will also be achieved. Anyway, when our goals are achieved together, we will all be very happy together in Wushan."

"You old man, you'd better go to Xishan as soon as possible. The flat-mouthed woman doesn't have much company." Zhu Hu stood in the corner and scolded Zhu Fanzi.

Zhu Fanzi and Zhu Hu were looking at each other in ecstasy, but they didn't expect Lan Yuliu to suddenly turn around. Lan Yuliu kicked and scolded them, but their two pairs of eyes were still fixed on Lan Yuliu.

In order to please Lan Yuliu, Zhu Fanzi said with an apologetic smile: "Yuliu, don't worry, I have countless treasures collected by the old man. Those rotten wood lumps were originally objects from the later Qing Dynasty. Originally, the treasures of the Ming Dynasty were hidden by the old man in a safe place. Don’t worry.”

"Ouch, Yuliu, why did she close the door again when she called us in?" Zhu Fanzi covered his chest with his hands and kept moaning while looking at Lan Yuliu's door.

Zhu Shanzi and Zhu Hu pushed each other and escaped from Lan Yuliu's room. As soon as they escaped to the hall, they heard Lan Yuliu shout: "Get back!" The two people stood in the hall and they were pushed and pushed again. Zhu Fanzi shouted Zhu Hu went in first, but Zhu Hu refused to go in first despite any words. During the pushing and shoving, Lan Yuliu shouted again: "Whoever comes in first, I will kiss him." Zhu Fanzi and Zhu Hu still pushed each other, and Zhu Fan's injury was not healed yet. If you can't outrun Zhu Hu if you are nimble, then you will hold Zhu Hu back. Although Zhu Hu was younger than Zhu Fanzi, he was not as strong as Zhu Fanzi. The two had a tug-of-war competition in the hall.

Zhu Hu and Zhu Fanzi naturally no longer pushed each other, but they all stood motionless. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't even rub their heads full of foot-washing water. Squinty-eyed Po went over and grabbed Zhu Hu's ears, and Zhu Fan dodged into Lan Yuliu's room. As a result, he hit the door with his head and bounced to the feet of Squinted Po. The squinty-eyed woman hurriedly let go of Zhu Hu and squatted down to support Zhu Fan.

"Oh, can I rest assured? Now that the situation is like this, I am heartbroken and heartbroken." Lan Yuliu sighed and stretched, which made Zhu Fanzi and Zhu Hu forget everything and rush to the bedside. Stretch out your hands to comfort Lan Yuliu.

Zhu Hu saw an opportunity and rushed to Lan Yuliu's room at all costs. As a result, he also hit the door and bounced to the side of Xieyan Po. Xieyan Po sat on Zhu Hu's body and massaged Zhu Fanzi's chest.

Zhu Shanzi grabbed the hand that Xieyan Po was massaging for him, and while stroking it, he moaned: "Ouch, I didn't expect that you imitated Yuliu's voice so much. Then after turning off the lights, you imitated Yuliu's voice. It's the same." Oh, ouch.”

"Oh, you coffin bastard, I will send you to Xishan tonight." Zhu Hu overturned the cross-eyed woman sitting on him, climbed up and straddled Zhu Fanzi's body, grabbing his beard. Just a sharp tug.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Zhu Fanzi wailed under Zhu Hu. The cross-eyed woman felt distressed and wanted to go over and pull Zhu Hu off Zhu Fanzi, but Zhu Hu was already jealous, so she walked over and didn't get close. Zhu Hu spat in her face.

With a "squeak" sound, the door of Lan Yuliu's room opened. Lan Yuliu walked out of the room wearing a black tights. He passed by Squinted Po, Zhu Hu and Zhu Fanzi without even looking at the three of them. Open the door and disappear into the night.

The heavy rain was still falling, even heavier than before. The man who was eavesdropping outside the window of Lan Yuliu's room jumped up on the wall, leaned on the wall and waited for a while, then jumped to the outside of the wall and quickly walked along the wall to the Taiping Pond. Beside a willow tree, I saw Blue Jade Willow leaving the old house, and the man was hiding behind the willow tree. After Lan Yuliu went up to the Western Mountain, he turned around Taiping Pond, but he did not take action immediately. Instead, he waited for the light to come out of a tomb in the Western Mountain and the sound of the pig-butcher's yawning, and then he flew up to the Western Mountain.

After a night of heavy rain, the bright sunshine came in the morning. In the morning light, Zhu Badger and Ma Yasha went to their bamboo garden to pull back two large bags of bamboo shoots.

The bamboo shoots are growing taller and taller after the rain. This year's spring bamboo shoots are growing particularly luxuriantly. When Zhu Badger walked under the big camphor tree carrying a large bag of bamboo shoots, she was out of breath. Just when she was about to put it down and take a rest, a man stood in front of her.

"Om(ong)mā(nī)ba(bēi)mi(mēi)hum(hōng)..." A burst of mantras came to his ears, and the red badger got angry and angrily yelled: "Shut-mouthed woman, a big What kind of monster are you doing?"

"You are the monster, come and watch me catch monsters." The flat-mouthed woman shouted, and the villagers who, like Zhu Badger, had just returned from pulling bamboo shoots from their own bamboo garden on the mountain, did not bother to put down the bamboo shoots they were carrying on their shoulders and swarmed over. Under the big camphor tree.

Zhu Badger wanted to scold again, but the flat-mouthed woman recited the curse first: "Namo Satha Sugadoye Aloha Emperor Sanyao San Bodhisattva..."

"My mother spoke to the judge of the underworld last night in the heavy rain. The judge said that the Badger Immortal was possessed by an evil spirit and that she must be killed before noon today, otherwise the whole village will suffer, especially those who live in the old house. Everyone will be eaten alive by her." The pig-butcher vividly explained the cause of the incident to the surrounding villagers while chanting a curse.

When all the neighbors heard this, they were all shocked, especially those who lived in the old house. Their eyes were focused on Zhu Badger. No matter how they looked at her, they felt that everything about her was abnormal and that she was really possessed by a monster.

Zhu Badger usually dressed casually, but this morning he hurriedly followed Ma Yasha to his bamboo garden on the mountain to pull bamboo shoots without washing up. He walked back and forth in the bamboo forest. Not only was he wet all over, but his hair was disheveled and unkempt, and he looked naturally disheveled.

"Badger Immortals, are you a human or a demon?"

"If it's a demon, obediently submit to the flat-mouthed fairy."

"Yes, please don't harm us. We just want to live a peaceful life."

"..."

Under the big camphor tree, all the neighbors criticized Zhu Badger.

Standing alone under the big camphor tree, Zhu Badger looked weak. Ma Yasha returned home before Zhu Badger, and Dan'er probably hadn't gotten up yet. Lu Huan went to Dan'er's house last night out of breath, so he probably hadn't gotten up either. The One-Armed Luo and the Stilt-legged Man who had returned to Zhu Badger's side did not appear in the crowd, and were probably still whirring. The two of them never made those traditional bamboo shoot products such as dried bamboo shoots, they just wanted to eat them. When the bamboo shoots are fresh, just go to the bamboo garden and pull out three or five branches.

"Nawu Sa Po Bo Tuo Bo De Sa stomps the evil..." The flat-mouthed woman raised a wooden sword in one hand and a charm in the other and kept chanting incantations around the red badger. The pig-killer stood in front of the villagers and danced and said: "If a When a person is possessed by an evil spirit, her Yintang will turn black. Look at the Yintang of the Eight Badgers, is it completely black?"

When Zhu Badger's forehead was pulling out bamboo shoots, she was stared at several times by small bugs. She wiped it carelessly with her hands a few times, and naturally it was stained with black mud. This just confirmed the pig-butcher's words, and the villagers believed it even more. They unanimously asked the flat-mouthed woman to do it quickly, but the pig-butcher took out the butcher's knife and killed the badger.

"Namo Sita Ya Vidy Ya Tuo Lai Se Nan...ah yo yo..." The flat-mouthed woman was getting up in her thoughts when Zhu Badger suddenly threw the bag of bamboo shoots on her shoulder onto her body, and the flat-mouthed woman groaned. He fell to the ground with a sound.

"You die too!" After saying it, Zhu Badger didn't wait for the Butcher to react, picked up the bamboo shoots scattered on the ground, chopped them up and threw them at the Butcher.

"Mom, dad, we are going to die!" The pig-butcher was beaten with bamboo shoots and his head was bleeding. He hugged his big, round head tightly and squatted on the ground, crying for his father and mother.

"Isn't your mother a fairy? Why doesn't she bless you? Didn't your father die long ago? Why doesn't he come out and drag you to the underworld with you?" A man went over and kicked the pig butcher hard, and the onlookers started to I thought it was a red badger, but when I heard the sound carefully, it didn't sound like it. After a closer look, it turned out to be a daylily.

After Daylily kicked the butcher, the butcher went over to kick and beat the butcher. He kicked and scolded: "I call you Shinto, I call you Shinto. All I know is Shinto all day long. If you kill the Badger Fairy, where can I go to drink it?" Where can I eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow?”

With her feet sore from being kicked and her mouth dry from the scolding, Huangliang turned around and scolded the villagers who were watching: "It's all gone. What are you looking at? Is there anything good to see? If you want to see it again, give me the money. You can't." See for nothing.”

All the neighbors dispersed in a hurry and walked to the back door of the old house. They saw Dan'er holding a big bowl of Hari Hari eating wheat flower soup. He was laughing while eating and asked him what he was laughing at. Dan'er said: "You are laughing at us." "Why are you laughing at us?" "There are a lot of people who are not as old as me and are used as spearmen by the flat-mouthed woman and the pig-butcher." "Why are we being used by the flat-mouthed woman and the pig-killer? "Gunmen?" "Someone uses the slut-mouthed woman and the pig-butcher as the sniper, don't you think it's ridiculous?" "Well..." "But wait a moment and cry." "Crying? Why are we crying?" "We can't dry the dried bamboo shoots this year."

Can’t dry the dried bamboo shoots this year? is it possible? When the neighbors of the old house returned home, they were dumbfounded and even wanted to cry. Zhu Badger had already taken away the bamboo plaques and bamboo mats used by each family for drying bamboo shoots and dried vegetables.

All the villagers didn't care to put down the bamboo shoots they were carrying on their shoulders and came to the front yard to look for Zhu Badger to return the bamboo plaque and bamboo mat. Zhu Badger was peeling bamboo shoots with Mayaksha without raising his head.

"Badger Immortals, what do you mean by taking away our bamboo plaque?"

"Whether you are a monster or not actually has nothing to do with us, so we just take a look at it."

"Look, why don't you let us see it? Then don't go out in the future. You have to let us see it when you go out."

"..."

The neighbors did not dare to approach the red badger, so they had to stand under the persimmon tree of the cross-eyed mother-in-law's house and shout to the red badger.

Zhu Badger just lowered her head and peeled bamboo shoots, paying no attention to the villagers who shouted to her.

"Hey, hey, let me say a few words. It's definitely wrong for you to watch the Badger Immortals. After all, she is still a young lady. If you watch her like that, how will she get married in the future? Besides, it has not been decided whether she is a monster or not. Of course, It is even more wrong for the Badger Eight Immortals to take away your bamboo plaques and bamboo mats for no reason. What right does she have to take away your bamboo plaques and bamboo mats? These bamboo plaques and bamboo mats are..." Zhu Hu opened the door and came out to speak, as if he was still the same person as before. That's how a family member behaves, but before he could finish his self-righteous words, a bamboo shoot that hadn't been shelled yet hit him on the head.

"Ouch!" Zhu Hu's hands were bent back and just about to wipe away the bamboo shoots on his forehead, another bamboo shoot hit his head, and then the bamboo shoots hit him like dense raindrops, making Zhu Hu's brand-new suit instantly change. Made into linen bags.

All the neighbors were stunned to see it. Before Zhu Hu could fully react, "Beep..." Zhu Badger blew a loud whistle, and two thin dogs and two pig badgers shot like four sharp arrows at the foot of the persimmon tree.

"Mom!" All the villagers threw down the bamboo shoots on their shoulders and hands and ran away. Some fled in the opposite direction and fled to the hut of Zhu Badger's house. They simply hid in it and never came out.

Zhu Hu reacted and ran away, but he also ran in the opposite direction, hit a persimmon tree and fell under the tree. He wanted to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, but two thin dogs came over and bared their teeth at him, so he had to stand up and run desperately to his home. Because he ran too fast, his steps were disordered, he tripped over the threshold, and fell heavily to his home. At the door, I couldn't get up for a long time.

Dan'er and Lu Huan were coming to the front yard hand in hand. Behind them, Daylily was holding Wang's glasses. Zhu Badger greeted loudly: "Pick up those bamboo shoots. We will have a bamboo shoot feast at noon today."

"Okay, it's good to be a fairy, and we can have a big feast at noon." Huangliang put down the Wang glasses in her hands, and went over to pick up the bags and baskets of bamboo shoots left behind by the neighbors with Lu Huan and Dan'er.

Zhu Badger replied: "There is no big banquet, this banquet is only for you. But don't worry, the one in charge is Fatty Zhu."
