Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 16 Not yet

At dawn, Zhu Badger took eight thin dogs and ran to the town.

It's sunny after the snow, and it's extremely cold, with real drops of water turning into ice. The red badger is not afraid of the cold, and the eight thin dogs are not afraid of the cold.

The red badger's feet slide on the bamboo pieces like flying, like an eagle soaring in the blue sky.

Cut moso bamboo into smooth bamboo pieces, put on ropes and tie them tightly to your legs, and you will have a pair of high-quality skis. This is Zhu Badger's invention. Last time she skated her unique pair of skis with two dairy goats. When she returned to her house, she was shocked and mistakenly thought that she was stepping on white clouds.

Eight thin dogs that had eaten their fill of wild boar followed closely behind the red badger. The snow foam stirred up by running froze into ice slag and hung in the air for a long time before falling.

Last night at midnight, Zhu Badger took eight small dogs to meet eight pig badgers under the big camphor tree. He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

Zhu Badger originally thought that there needed to be an adaptation process between the thin dog and the pig badger, because after all, they were not of the same kind, and could even be said to be natural enemies. However, after the thin dog and the pig badger met, they became as close to each other as family members. There is also Chouyu. Zhu Badger thought she would be scared when she saw the pig badger, and the pig badger might also reject Chouyu. Unexpectedly, after Chouyu hugged this pig badger and hugged that one, the pig badger snuck into Chouyu's arms, and the pig badger pounced on Chouyu's body.

"Hey, did you know each other before?" Zhu Badger was a little unhappy at being left out.

Chouyu said: "We didn't know each other before. I don't know Quan'er and Badger, and Quan'er and Badger don't know me. But when we meet, we can feel that we have a common mission, which is to help you protect your old house."

"Help me protect the old house? Does the old house need protection? Don't make excuses for yourself just because you have done something for me." Zhu Badger curled his lips.

Chouyu explained: "It's true that I came to you to help me to be reborn, but the more important mission is to help you protect the old house. The dogs and badgers and I have helped you protect the old house, and you will naturally be happy. He will help me to be reborn, and help dogs and badgers ascend to heaven."

"If you want to be reborn, just be reborn. Don't bring dogs and badgers with you. They are very pure and don't have as many twists and turns as you." Zhu Badger turned his head.

Chouyu turned to Zhu Badger and said softly: "Fairy, don't be angry, the maid is telling the truth. These eight pig badgers and eight thin dogs were originally immortals in the sky, but they were framed by gods like the fairies and demoted to Mortal beasts, only you, fairy, can help them ascend to heaven again.”

"Badger, dog, is what she said true?" Zhu Badger asked the eight pig badgers and eight thin dogs.

The eight pig badgers and eight thin dogs nodded in unison, with tears in their eyes while nodding, which made the red badger heartbroken.

Zhu Badger hugged the eight pig badgers and eight thin dogs one by one, looked at the stars and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will help you ascend to heaven again even if I am shattered to pieces."

"Fairy, thank you, and we will definitely help you protect the old house." Chouyu cried.

Zhu Badger was disapproving of Chouyu's tears and sneered: "What do you mean? I don't look down on anyone who has ideas for the old house. Do I need your help?"

"Fairy, don't be excited. It's not just the villagers who are interested in the old house. Have you forgotten that demolition notice? Those bloody chickens, rats, dogs, sheep, rabbits, pigs and horses, cows, monkeys, snakes, tigers, Dragon?" Chouyu reminded Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger pondered for a moment and then asked Chouyu: "Are you saying that the demolition notice was posted by an outsider?"

"Of course it was posted by outsiders. It was precisely because of that demolition notice that the series of murders in the old house were triggered." Chou Yu replied. Zhu Badger heard Chouyu's answer so simply that he stopped asking any more questions. He thought to himself, you clearly know the inside story, why don't you just tell me clearly? I want to see what you want to do? What do those outsiders want? As long as I'm here, no one can take advantage of the old house!
Seeing Zhu Badger lowering his head and saying nothing, Chouyu said: "Fairy, seeing blood among the twelve zodiac animals is nothing. The murder I am talking about refers to the real series of murders that will happen in the old house next."

"Do you think I will believe you? I'm warning you, it's okay if you make random accusations in front of me. If you make lies in front of everyone, be careful, I will send you to the eighteenth level of hell, and you will never be reincarnated!" Zhu Badger glared at Chouyu fiercely.

Chouyu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged: "Fairy, please calm down. The maid dare not talk nonsense. Everything the maid said is true. If the fairy doesn't believe it, the plight of the flat-mouthed woman and Tian Lezi's family in the future can prove it."

Zhu Badger heard that Chouyu said it was late today, and saw that the sky had reached its darkest hour, and dawn was about to come. He sent eight pig badgers into the tree hole and then took eight thin dogs home. On the way, Chouyu returned to the appearance of Ma Yasha. Not a word was spoken.

Today is not the time? The main reason why Zhu Badger ordered Chou Yuzi to let the ghosts of the Slutty Woman and Tian Shouzi's family possess her with crooked mouths and faces until today is because she had to go to town to call Lu Huan's family at dawn.

It takes at least an hour and a half to get from the village to the town, and three hours back and forth. If something special happens on this snowy day, it will take some time. Therefore, in order to ensure Lu Huan's safety, Zhu Badger must give up before the time comes. The flat-mouthed woman and Tian Laizi's family stopped. Also, let’s see if Chouyu has that ability? Did he really come from the underworld to beg her? And Mr. Zhu said that something would happen next in the corresponding time of the twelve zodiac animals seeing blood, and she would have to rush back at that time. If something happened next, it would be in the wrong time.

It was normal breakfast time when we arrived in town. Zhu Badger left eight small dogs on a nearby mountain while he went to his classmate's house to make a phone call.

Although it was already the late 1980s, telephones were still considered a luxury item for remote mountain villages like Lvbuocun, let alone mobile phones.

The classmates were a little surprised by Zhu Badger's arrival early in the morning. After Zhu Badger explained his purpose, the classmates were very generous and took Zhu Badger to the phone without saying a word. However, the classmate's mother stayed in front of the phone and asked where Zhu Badger had called. ? Long distance calls are expensive.

Zhu Badger made a long story short and told Lu Huan's parents that Lu Huan was fine at home and didn't have to worry about them. He would return home when the heavy snow melted after the Chinese New Year.

Lu Huan's mother was very happy when she learned the news about her daughter. She said a few polite words to cause trouble for you, but said nothing more. On the other hand, when Lu Huan's father heard that donkeys were not in the village, he asked several times which donkey was not in the village? Is there an old house with eight entrances and eight exits?
Zhu Badger wondered, how could Lu Huan's father know that there was an old house in Lvbuo Village with eight entrances and eight exits? Lu Huan's home is in another county.

On the way back to the village, Zhu Badger's mind always lingered on the "fate and fate" mentioned by Lu Huan's father.

Lu Huan's father learned that Lu Huan lived in an old house with eight entrances and eight exits in Lvbuo Village. He kept saying "fate, fate" and was very excited to hear his voice.

fate? Is it possible that the Lu Huan family and our donkeybuo village have a fate? Is it the fate between Lu Huan’s father and us, Lv Bu Cun, or is it the fate between Lu Huan and our Lv Bu Cun? Are they destined to the village or the old house? If there is a fate with Laozhai, what kind of fate is it?
Zhu Badger thought about fate all the way, and when he returned to the village, it happened to be the intersection of noon and weishi. Weishi refers to 1 pm to 3 pm, which belongs to the sheep in the Chinese zodiac.

Before they even reached the big camphor tree, Dan'er ran over to Zhu Badger in a hurry and reported: "Sister, something happened, something happened again!"

"Tell me slowly, what happened?" Zhu Badger said slowly, calling Dan'er, his walking pace accelerated to the extreme, and he went straight to the old house. She had already heard the noise in the old house, and the sharpest voice came from the cross-eyed woman.

Zhu Badger is most familiar with the screams of the cross-eyed woman. He has grown up with her crying every three days since he was a child. When it comes to crying, no one in the old house can rival her.

Huh? Why is there a long-lost male voice?

Well, it's him. He's back? I saw no other footprints at all on the way back from town. When did he come back? Could it be that you came back a few days ago? What kind of conspiracy are you hiding at home? Do you also want to take advantage of the old house?
