Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 159 Yes

Zhu Huan died, Ma Yasha was extremely sad, and Zhu Yunshan fell seriously ill, leaving the old house ownerless. Then Uncle Liu also went to the provincial capital, and Lu Bo had already been replaced by someone else. Can Lan Yuliu miss such a good opportunity?

So she made up her mind to exchange her body for the key of Zhu Shanzi. Once she got the key, Lan Yuliu was determined to get it, especially after she got the specific location and construction style of the treasure house from Huang Doujiang, she believed that the treasure hidden by Lan Yu in the old house must belong to her.

Why did Lan Yuliu believe Huang Doujiang's words without a doubt? It was mainly because of the weasel and okra.

Zhu Shanzi recommended Huang Weasel to Lan Yuliu, but Lan Yuliu didn't think much of him, thinking that an old man like him wouldn't be any use. In addition, he was Huang Qiukui's biological father, so she couldn't use him anyway.

But later, she learned that the weasel had been digging holes to find the treasure house, and there was already some progress, so Lan Yuliu couldn't help but feel a little moved. But because of the existence of Huang Qiukui, Lan Yuliu still didn't plan to use him. Until Zhu Shanzi said that even if the treasure house was opened, how to transport those treasures out was still a problem, because it was impossible to transport them out from Zhu Hu's house, and it was impossible to dig a tunnel temporarily to transport them out. The underground pipe network of the old house is complicated, and there are also those underground warehouses. If you are not careful, the ground will collapse, and all your previous efforts will be wasted. It's a small matter to be discovered by others, but the "woo-woo" car will come to take you inside immediately. The weasel is familiar with the underground of the old house, and digging holes is another unique way. The holes he dug completely avoided all the underground pipe networks and underground warehouses. Of course, the weasel didn't know that there were secret bunkers and secret passages under the old house.

Lan Yuliu hinted to the weasel to cooperate with her several times, but the weasel was unmoved, and Huang Qiukui was even more dismissive. Lan Yuliu was ready to use her trump card, which was to seduce the weasel. However, Huang Doujiang watched over the weasel more strictly than the eight greyhounds and eight hog badgers of Zhu Huan's family guarded the old house, so Lan Yuliu had no chance to flirt with him.

Logically, Lan Yuliu would not be interested in the weasel's skill of digging holes. The Jianliu Sect is a major tomb-robbing sect. Not to mention that the chief tomb robber and the supporting staff are all top-notch tomb robbers, there are also many experts among the many legmen and laborers. Digging holes is a skill that tomb robbers must have. Which one of them is not better at digging holes than the weasel?

Well, you know what, you mouse can dig holes, but in the end, you are still beaten by the weasel? It eats mice and occupies their holes, which makes it stronger than mice. The weasel is just as its name suggests. Its tricks are exactly like those of the animal weasel, with a very flexible body and strong reaction ability. Its feet are thick, and its footsteps are very light when running, so it can launch a fatal attack before the enemy can react. In addition, the weasel has many skills such as swimming and climbing trees, and can dig mouse holes. It can not only chase mice on the ground and make them flee everywhere, but also chase them into the holes and catch them all.

The weasel has the financial backing of Huang Qiukui. He usually doesn't care about anything, sleeps during the day, and digs holes at night. He can not only avoid various underground pipes, but also cleverly use the holes dug by thieves who want to steal the treasures of the old house, including those dug by Jianliumen. This makes Lan Yuliu look at him with new eyes. But after all, he is just thinking blindly, and the effect is not great. He can only use the method of elimination to rule out that there is nothing here and there cannot be anything there.

Huang Doujiang didn't let the cat out of the bag in front of Lan Yuliu that day, but he deliberately exaggerated to irritate Lan Yuliu. He said that the treasure house was very big, as big as Taiping Pond. Is it possible? It's impossible. If it's true as Huang Doujiang said, how many treasures did Lan Yuliu hide in the old house? Not to mention that the old house is located in a place where even donkeys can't reach. How much manpower and material resources would it take to transport so many treasures? In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang had just conquered the country at that time, and there was a lot of work to be done. How could he allow a general under his command to covet so many treasures?

"Sister, you said that Lan Yu didn't hide any treasures in the old house?"

"Ah."

"Then why are you spending so much effort playing hide-and-seek with this willow spirit?"

"I'm not sure now, am I?"

"You're sure now? How can you be sure now?"

"Go ask grandpa."

"Grandpa also returned to the old house?"

"He never left at all."

"Then he still lets the fake Rubeur and the Willow Spirit get together?"

"True and false. When the false is made true, the true becomes false. When the true is made false, the false becomes true. Let's not talk about him for now. Wait until the Willow Fairy and Okra find the treasure and then we can take it away."

"Sister, didn't you say that Lan Yu didn't hide any treasure in the old house? Why are you still waiting for the Willow Fairy and Huang Qiukui to find the treasure?"

"Why do you have a million questions? If Lan Yu didn't hide it, wouldn't the owner of the main house hide it?"

"You mean your ancestors hid the treasure? Then why didn't they tell you?"

"They are also your ancestors. Can they tell me?"

"Didn't Grandma Taizu often dream about you? Also, you can make a will."

"Little thing, you know how to make a will? You made a will to let everyone fight openly and secretly?"

"Yeah, that's right. Who wouldn't be tempted by money?"

"Including you?"

"I'm not. Money is of little use to me. At most I can buy you and mom some delicious food."

"You won't buy it for me?"

Zhu Yunshan's voice sounded softly behind Dan'er and Zhu Huan. Dan'er and Zhu Huan looked up and saw Ma Yasha, Dan'er's mother and Uncle Liu coming together. They hurriedly got up from the ground. After they came down from the main ridge of the main house, they went directly back to the camphor tree through the secret passage and lay on the ground to monitor the old house.

"Dad, you don't smoke or drink, so you don't want to buy anything." Dan'er explained a little embarrassedly.

Zhu Yushan patted his little head lovingly and said, "Dad is joking. What? Following your sister's butt, there are so many more questions like "Why?"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, now all together it probably amounts to a million whys." Dan'er raised his little face and looked at Zhu Yunshan.

Zhu Yunshan stretched out his big hand and scratched Dan'er's little nose, then asked with a smile: "Do you want me to solve all these whys for you?"

"Yeah." Dan'er nodded.

Zhu Yunshan said with a smile: "The one who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it. Your sister is the mastermind behind all this. Only she can untie all your whys. There are also some questions I want to ask why too."

"Dad, who is the mastermind behind this? You make me sound like the willow fairy and the sunflower monster. It's so annoying." Zhu Huan pouted.

Dan'er said with a smile: "Sister, you are indeed the same as the Willow Fairy and the Sunflower Monster. You are just as beautiful and can seduce men just as much."

"Go away, go away. The first half of your sentence is nice, but the second half is still insulting me, isn't it?" Zhu Hu pretended to hit the egg.

Dan'er hid behind Zhu Yunshan, stretched out his little head and stuck out his tongue, explaining to Zhu Huan: "Sister, the second half of what I said is also a good thing."

"How can it be a good word? It's obviously calling me as bad as the Willow Fairy and the Sunflower Monster." Zhu Hao chased Dan'er.

Dan'er ran behind Ma Yasha and said hastily, "Sister, the Willow Fairy and the Sunflower Monster seduce the souls of good men and make them infatuated; you seduce the souls of bad men and make them terrified."

"Well, that sounds nice. However, the Willow Fairy and the Sunflower Monster even hooked the souls of bad men, and those bad men in the old house have become worse one by one." Zhu Hu stopped chasing Dan'er, and when he saw Dan'er's mother pulling Uncle Liu aside to whisper something, he pricked up his ears to listen.

Dan'er's mother asked, "Dad, will something serious happen next?"

"No." Uncle Liu answered very straightforwardly.

Dan'er's mother asked, "Why?"

"Didn't you see her playing with Dan'er?" Uncle Liu asked Dan'er's mother.

Dan'er's mother nodded, but she was still worried and continued to ask Uncle Liu: "Lan Yuliu has returned to the main house of the old house. This time she brought all the experts and the potters into the main house. I'm afraid the main house will be in trouble."

"No, absolutely not." Uncle Liu answered more affirmatively.

Dan'er's mother asked, "How can you be so sure that nothing will happen to the main house?"

"She had your uncle and I set up an ambush a long time ago. If they dare to mess around, we will cut their bodies into two pieces. I was afraid that they would not dare to mess around, hehe." Uncle Liu laughed. Dan'er's mother said: "She has really matured."

"Of course, she is a real fairy now, the fairy of the old house. But you, how come you become fussy, sentimental, and hesitant after going to the provincial capital? Are you still my little daughter who would rather break than bend, rather die than yield, and would rather die in glory than live in disgrace?" Uncle Liu teased Dan'er's mother.

Dan'er's mother was out of character. Not only did she not get angry with Uncle Liu like before, but she said coyly, "People change. I'm pregnant now. If I don't think about myself, I have to think about the baby in my belly."

"Oh my, great, great, I'm going to be a grandfather again, I'm going to be a grandfather again." Uncle Liu was overjoyed.

Dan'er's mother said, "Dad, please speak softly. Don't let her know that I'm pregnant first. Let Dan'er know."

"Yes, yes, yes, Dad knows what to do. Dad knows what to do. Then you'd better not get involved in some things from now on. She can deal with the willow spirit and the sunflower monster by herself now." Uncle Liu couldn't help but glance at Zhu Hu, who quickly turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery.

Dan'er's mother also glanced at Zhu Huan. Seeing that Zhu Huan was looking at the scenery, she continued to talk to Uncle Liu: "Dad, my sister is pregnant too. You have to tell my brother and remind him to take good care of her."

"Ah? Your sister is pregnant too? This is great, great. I, your grandpa, have to prepare two big red envelopes. Hey, how could Yunshan not know? Could it be that your sister deliberately hid it from him?" Uncle Liu glanced at Zhu Yunshan and Ma Yasha who were standing not far away.

Dan'er's mother said, "Dad, isn't my sister also worried that my brother and she will be distracted after knowing this?"

"Are you worried that she won't let you take part in this operation after she finds out?" Uncle Liu glanced at Zhu Huan again, but Zhu Huan was still looking at the scenery.

Dan'er's mother replied: "Yes, I am also worried about whether she will be emotional?"

"Impossible, how could she have any emotions? But Dan'er, you should explain more to him when appropriate, and don't let him feel that you will neglect him after you have your own child." Uncle Liu said to Dan'er's mother in a serious tone. This was the first time that Zhu Huan heard Uncle Liu speak like this. He felt warm in his heart, his throat felt sore, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Dan'er's mother nodded and sighed, "Oh, why did God treat Dan'er like this? Such a good child, why was he abandoned as soon as he was born? He finally became a normal person and was with Huanhuan. But, but, but now he is still the same as before. Oh, God is so unfair to him."

"Yeah, that's right. But with her around, Dan'er will definitely be very happy and blessed." Uncle Liu looked at Dan'er who was picking wild fruits.

Dan'er's mother also looked at Dan'er and asked Uncle Liu, "Dad, do you think Lu Huan will be okay?"

"No, she is the only one who can deal with the Willow Spirit and the Sunflower Monster. The Willow Spirit and the Sunflower Monster can't do anything to her." Uncle Liu withdrew his gaze from Dan'er and looked towards the old house.

Dan'er's mother smiled and nodded, "Yes, Huanhuan is a smart person. She has many ways to deal with the willow spirit and the sunflower monster."

"Yes, she is a shrewd person. Just think about how you and I were fooled by her at the beginning." Uncle Liu sighed.

Dan'er's mother said, "You mean the fact that Huanhuan and Dan'er got married and got pregnant? That was a white lie, to cheer me up and get me to go to the provincial capital."

"So Huanhuan is a smart guy? Look, Huanhuan is now using Yuyu and Lanlan to trick the willow spirit into doing things. The willow spirit has lost its extraordinary intelligence. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been fooled by Zhu Shanzi so easily." Uncle Liu twirled his beard and looked at Lu Huan with admiration.

Dan'er's mother smiled and said, "I really admire Huanhuan. How did she come up with Yuyu and Lanlan? One of them is enough to make the Willow Fairy so happy that she loses herself, and they are twins, a boy and a girl."

"Not only was the Willow Spirit fooled by Huanhuan, but Zhu Shanzi was also fooled by Huanhuan, right?" Uncle Liu sincerely admired Lu Huan's courage and wisdom.

Dan'er's mother said: "The funniest thing is that the weasel was so angry that he almost died, and he also lured the okra out directly. And the soybean paste is usually so easy to mix, but it was mixed by Huanhuan and turned into a mess."

"Originally, she needed to spend more time on Zhu Shanzi and Huang Weasel, but Huanhuan's intervention saves her a lot of trouble." Uncle Liu raised his voice deliberately when he saw Zhu Huan standing there still looking at the scenery.

Dan'er's mother immediately understood Uncle Liu's meaning and raised her voice to ask, "Dad, do you think Zhu Shanzi and the weasel will become desperate?"

"If it were a dog, it wouldn't wait to die. It would definitely jump over the wall. Unfortunately, they are not even dogs." Zhu Hu didn't wait for Uncle Liu to answer, and responded loudly to Dan'er's mother. Seeing Uncle Liu and Dan'er's mother staring at him blankly, Zhu Hu turned around and said to Zhu Yunshan: "Be handsome and elegant again. It's up to you from now on."

"No problem, don't worry." Zhu Yunshan went to the camphor tree to make preparations.

Zhu Huan called Dan'er: "Let's go and make some preparations."

"Okay." Dan'er ran to Zhuhuan with a handful of wild fruits in his hand.

Zhu Hu picked up one and took a bite. He then said to Dan'er, "Give it to your two mothers. They need vitamin supplements."

"Sister, maybe my brother and sister need vitamin supplements?" Dan'er stuffed another wild fruit into Zhu Huan's hand.

Zhu Hao touched Dan'er's little head and praised: "Well, my Dan'er is smart."

"Mom, you guys eat." Dan'er ran over and stuffed a handful of wild fruits into Ma Yasha's hands.

Ma Yasha and Dan'er's mother stood there in a daze. Zhu Huan pretended not to see anything, took Dan'er's hand and went into the tunnel, and soon returned to the main house of the old house.

Coming out of the tunnel exit of the study, Zhu Huan went over to take a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Dan'er. Dan'er took it and saw that it was "Lu Ban Book". He looked up at Zhu Huan with a puzzled look.

Zhu Hu said to his ear: "Study hard and become a great craftsman in the future."

"I..." Dan'er murmured.

Zhu Hu ignored Dan'er and tiptoed to the study door. He put his face against the door and looked at the situation outside through a small hole.

In the main hall, Lan Yuliu sat on the chair at the top, which was in front of the portrait of Taizu's grandmother. Lu Huan sat on the first chair on the left, and the fake Lu Bo sat on the first chair on the right. The experts sat on the other chairs in turn, and the pot holders stood on both sides in an orderly manner.

Lan Yuliu looked very angry, her face was full of anger, and after scanning all the masters and the pot-holders with her phoenix eyes, she asked in a stern voice: "Tell me, what's going on?"

The supervisor and the pot steward didn't dare to look Lan Yuliu in the eye. They all lowered their heads and did not respond.

Lan Yuliu asked again: "What's going on?"

Still no one responded.

"Go to hell!" Lan Yuliu threw the hair rope in her hand suddenly, and the pot-holder standing farthest away fell to the ground immediately without even a groan.

All the masters sitting on the chairs stood up at once, including the fake Rubeur. The pot holders standing on both sides took two steps back and lowered their heads even lower.

"If no one gives me an explanation, I will kill you all today!" Lan Yuliu shouted hysterically.

Lu Huan sat on the chair and leaned towards Lan Yuliu. As Lu Huan had her back to the study, Zhu Huan could not see the expression on her face, but judging from her tone, she must have been joking when she said it: "Aunt Yuyulanlan, calm down. Women tend to get wrinkles and age easily when they are angry. That's what Yuyulanlan's father said, so I never get angry, hehe..."

"Huanhuan, go upstairs and have a rest. There is nothing for you to do here." Lan Yuliu smiled back at Lu Huan with a gentle tone, which was completely different from how she had just reprimanded those supervisors and pot-holders.

However, Lu Huan said to Lan Yuliu in a firm tone: "Aunt Yuyu Lanlan, I must be here and must help you find the traitor."

"Do you know there is a traitor?" Lan Yuliu leaned towards Lu Huan.
