Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 27 Fraud

Zhu Badger said that if Zhu Hu didn't tell the truth, he would have his lifeblood bitten off by a thin dog. He couldn't help laughing. I thought to myself, Zhu Badger, Zhu Badger, you are still a yellow-flowered girl, how come you get your lifeblood when you open your mouth? Can you be more reserved? Grandma Taizu is watching on the stage, so she should learn more from Mr. Zhu.

Zhu Badger stopped laughing and stared at Zhu Hu who was paralyzed at the threshold of the ancestral hall with a pair of big, shiny round eyes. Zhu Hu was dejected, lowered his head and said nothing. Everyone was silent. On the one hand, they were a little shocked by the red badger's smile. The penetrating power of the red badger's smile was so powerful in the ancestral hall in this winter dusk that the sparrows that had just returned to the tiles under the eaves flew up in fright. On the other hand, everyone wants to find out what happened to the woman in Zhu Hu's family? To them, the origin of that woman was much more important than whether Tian Leizi and his son came to the ancestral hall to steal or were instigated by the woman.

Seeing Zhu Hu pretending to be dead, Zhu Badger's whistle sounded again, and the two thin dogs holding Zhu Hu's trouser legs in their mouths started to growl.

"No, no, no, I said, I said, I said." Zhu Hu's face turned gray with fright, he raised his head tremblingly, glanced at Zhu Badger and then lowered his head, muttering: "You, you, can you Let these two dogs go away first.”

"You are the dog, dog, come back." Zhu Badger called back the two thin dogs. She understood that if the two thin dogs were still there to bite Zhu Hu, Zhu Hu would probably make unfavorable remarks even in the middle of the night. She forgave her. He didn't dare to cheat.

When Zhu Hu saw the two thin dogs returning, he sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said confidently: "That woman is my sweetheart in the city. In the words of the city people, she is my lover. Lover, do you understand? It's me and She is a person with feelings, and we are lovers with feelings."

"Bah! Zhu Hu, what you say is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more smelly than the shit my dog ​​poops. Zhu Hu, are you worthy of talking about feelings? Do you know what feelings are? Are you in love or not? Righteous? I really don’t know how Grandma Taizu allowed your ancestors to be named Zhu? Let your ancestors live in the old house? How did your ancestors give birth to you, the last generation who smells worse than my dog’s shit? Zhu Hu, is that woman here for the treasure of our old house?" Zhu Badger never expected that Zhu Hu would say such a thing. No wonder the cross-eyed woman would pretend to be crazy and act stupid in the big courtyard, and shamelessly say things about seducing Mr. Zhu. . It turns out that the couple are both of the same kind.

Zhu Hu didn't care when he was scolded by Zhu Badger by name. He responded with a playful smile: "Is it possible that you are no longer a young girl? Is it possible that you understand the relationship between men and women better than us? Badger Eight Immortals, I tell you, don't rely on it Several vicious dogs sprayed feces from their mouths. If it weren't for my ancestors, would the old house still be preserved today? If it weren't for my grandfather, the old house would have been burned to the ground by a fire; if it weren't for my father, the ancestral hall of the old house would have been destroyed. It’s a piece of shit. Are you like your Yasha-like mother who is missing a bone in the head? What other treasures can be stolen from the old house now? Unless it’s you and your mother who are stealing men.”

"Hey, you can have this, but no man is willing to let two of them steal it. One is sleeping like a yaksha and having nightmares, and the other is as panicked as a bean sprout, hahaha." Tian Laizi laughed and even curled up on the ground. Tian Da Le and Tian Er Lei also laughed non-stop.

Zhu Badger's head was filled with fire and his liver and lungs were filled with anger. After blowing three whistles in a row, he rushed towards Zhu Hu desperately.

"Sister, be careful, be careful!" Dan'er stood on the gate tower and stamped his feet and shouted, but unfortunately it was too late. When he ran down from the gate tower to the door of the ancestral hall, Zhu Badger and eight thin dogs were lying upright by the threshold. Zhu Hu Hotan Leiko and his son disappeared.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Lu Huan circled back and forth at the door of Zhu Badger's room. The rooster began to crow for the third time. Zhu Badger hadn't woken up yet.

It's not that Zhu Badger didn't wake up, she just woke up and didn't want to get up. She couldn't figure out why she was lying on the ground with her eyes black for no reason? It's possible that he fell into Zhu Hu's trick, but it's impossible for the eight thin dogs? They are dogs among dogs, extremely powerful. Especially after these days of training with the pigs and badgers, he has almost become a divine dog. How could he be easily taken down by Zhu Hu?

I'm confused, why was I so impulsive at that time? I can just charge at me, but why am I willing to let eight dogs charge at me at the same time? Dogs, my dogs, how are you doing? Zhu Badger got up from the bed with a start. Fortunately, eight thin dogs gathered around the bed, and there were eight pig badgers with him.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Badger got out of bed and petted the pig badgers.

The eight pig badgers gathered around the red badger, kissed the red badger's body with their mouths, and told the red badger: "If you don't come to see us after midnight, we have to come to see you."

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Badger comforted Pig Badger and Xin Quan one by one, and said to them: "I'm sorry, I promise that I won't let you suffer the slightest injustice in the future."

"Let's go out to eat." Zhu Badger opened the door, and Lu Huan fell to the ground with an "ouch". She was throwing herself on the door to listen to the noise inside, but she didn't expect Zhu Badger to suddenly open the door and come out.

"Hee hee, I told you not to be anxious. There's no way something could happen to the fairy. Is the dog chewing shit now?" Chou Yu looked at Lu Huan lying on the threshold and covered her mouth with a smile.

Zhu Badger helped Lu Huan up and asked, "Why are you picking at my door if you don't sleep?"

"I'm worried about you." Lu Huan looked curiously at Zhu Badger's room. Since arriving at Zhu Badger's house, she had not entered Zhu Badger's room. Usually when Zhu Badger opened the door, she wanted to take a few more peeks inside. , Zhu Badger would close the door in a hurry, and Chouyu reminded her not to enter Zhu Badger's room.

When Zhu Badger saw Lu Huan looking into her room, he pulled her to his back, turned around and stood in front of her and said word by word: "Curiosity killed the cat, one day I will let you see clearly." Clear and clean.”

"You are so awesome. You said three idioms at once, and they were all AABB, hehe." Lu Huan smiled even more cutely.

Chouyu came over and pulled Luhuan into the kitchen. When she closed the kitchen door, Chouyu winked at Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger understood and was about to let the eight thin dogs and pig badgers out of his room when a heartbreaking sound came from the yard. Cries. Zhu Badger closed the door again and walked to the window.

The cry came from the cross-eyed woman, and Zhu Hu was beating her hard in the snow with a piece of bamboo wire.

Badger Zhu rushed out of her room and was about to open the door and rush out when Chouyu rushed out of the kitchen and caught her.

"What did you catch me for?"

"You can't go out."

"Are we allowed to let him beat her to death?"

"Can a piece of bamboo wire kill someone?"

"Then I have to take revenge on him."

"I can't bear to mess with my big plan. Mr. Zhu came to see you last night and told me that you can't go out until today's hour."

"Today's time? What time is it now?"

"When we first arrived at Yinshi, yesterday evening you were deceived by Zhu Hu's envoy and came back to sleep for a full ten hours."

"Nao Xi is in prison. This fairy never sleeps overnight for revenge, but you didn't wake me up."

"Ten years are not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. He will leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood. You must take the long term."

"Did you carry me home yesterday?"

"No, it's a gust of wind."

"A gust of wind? Is it possible? Please tell me in detail quickly, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you."

"Don't worry, you go back to your room first and I will tell you slowly."

"You can't enter my room. If you fart, hurry up."

"Where did the fart come from when you didn't even eat dinner last night? Come on, go in and eat some good food first."

"Where's Lu Huan?"

"She is a foodie and is eating happily."

"What about the pigs and badgers?"

"Let's stay in the room from now on, so we can take better care of each other."

"Ah."

Zhu Badger walked into the kitchen. The cries of the cross-eyed woman outside the house became more and more miserable, and Zhu Hu's curses became more vicious. Lu Huan seemed not to hear what was going on outside and buried his head in a large bowl.

"Did you drug her?"

"how is this possible?"

"Then why is she like this?"

"Didn't my head fall into your room just now?"

Chouyu said that Lu Huan became like this because his head fell into Zhu Badger's room, but Zhu Badger didn't believe it.

That's right, Zhu Badger suddenly opened the door just now. Lu Huan didn't have time to turn around and fell on the threshold of Zhu Badger's room. His upper body entered Zhu Badger's room and his head hit the floor of Zhu Badger's room. But it was impossible to become like this in just that moment. ah? If this really turns into a child with dementia, how should I explain it to her parents? Zhu Badger was so anxious that he circled around Lu Huan. "Don't be anxious, sit down and eat in peace." Chou Yu served a large bowl of hot chicken soup. Normally, Zhu Badger would have grabbed the spoon and devoured it. In this winter, he could have a delicious and piping hot bowl. The chicken juice soup will satisfy your stomach as much as you want. But at this moment Zhu Badger had no appetite at all. She stood behind Lu Huan and scolded Chou Yu angrily: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, the house is leaking and it rains all night, why are you not anxious? Why are you here to serve me? You are obviously here. driving me mad!"

"Is he so angry with you? Who wants to make you so angry? Wait until I finish eating and beat him to death." After Lu Huan finished his large bowl of chicken soup, he took Zhu Badger's bowl and continued to suck without raising his head. stand up.

"Reincarnation of a starving ghost? Please ask the flat-mouthed woman to come over and do it." Zhu Badger said this, his eyes widened in disbelief, why did he say such a thing?
Chouyu brought another large bowl of chicken soup to Zhu Badger and said with a smile: "You should be the one who should do it."

"How much chicken soup have you cooked?" Zhu Badger sat down to eat. His brain wanted to resist, but his body was honest and his mouth was more sincere. His slurping sound was no less than that of Lu Huan. The two people came and went, making the kitchen immediately lively.

"Everything is available, you can eat as much as you want." Chouyu brought a large bowl of chicken soup and joined the slurping team. The slurping sounds of the three people completely drowned out the cries of the squinting woman outside and the beating and scolding of Zhu Hu. A kitchen is just a kitchen, a kitchen completely isolated from the outside world.

Lu Huan was the first to finish, put down the big bowl in his hand, patted his stomach happily, and shouted: "It's great!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't move, don't move." Zhu Badger took the last bite of the chicken soup, wiped his mouth and tilted his head to look at Lu Huan's face. His mouth was open and could no longer be closed.

Seeing Zhu Badger grabbing his arm, Lu Huan asked with a smile: "Do I have a carved face?"

"This, this..." Zhu Badger let go of Lu Huan's arm and opened his mouth wide, unable to speak.

Chouyu patted Zhu Badger on the cheek and said with a smile: "A woman's 18th transformation makes her become more and more beautiful."

"She is getting more and more beautiful, why am I getting more and more ugly?" Zhu Badger touched his face with his hand and stared at Lu Huan's face without blinking.

Chouyu answered Zhu Badger while arranging the dishes: "You don't want to be beautiful yourself."

"I've thought about it a bit." Zhu Badger stared closely at Lu Huan's face, his eyes filled with envy.

"Have I really become more beautiful?" Lu Huan ran lightly to the washstand at the door of the kitchen and looked in the mirror.

"No, no, no, no, you can't look in the mirror at night." Zhu Badger hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"It's still night? The sun is already out." Lu Huan looked at himself in the mirror.

"The sun is out?" Zhu Badger murmured to himself, walking to the window next to the kitchen stove and looking out.

The morning sun shines brightly on the yard, and the snow is sparkling. On this early morning in winter, the old house is peaceful and peaceful, without any trace of the past slapstick.

Could it be that it was just a dream? Even Lu Huan is not abnormal.

It seems that I am not normal. I must be abnormal. The squinting eyes and the steam coming out of the kitchen at my in-laws' house mean that I am making breakfast or eating.

what happened? I gotta figure it out, gotta figure it out.

"Yin Shi and Chen Shi have passed. Nothing should happen next." Zhu Badger was about to turn around when Chou Yu's words rang in his ears.

Zhu Badger frowned, turned his head and said angrily: "You are great, you can pinch and count, you are more divine than the flat-mouthed woman, why don't you just dig the money out of the pockets of those common people like her? Our family can live with it too. A good year.”

"I'm not powerful, it's Mr. Zhu who is. Mr. Zhu said that as long as you don't seek revenge, Zhu Hu, that woman, and Tian Lezi's family will definitely not be able to cause trouble for the time being, because they also want to have a good year." Chou Yu Explain patiently.

Zhu Badger pondered for a moment and then asked Chouyu: "When will Mr. Zhu come over to the house?"

"Are you worried that Mr. Zhu will see what I look like now? Don't worry, Mr. Zhu has not entered the house. I am still your mother." Chouyu smiled.

Zhu Badger nodded and asked Chouyu: "Where is Lu Huan?"

"I asked her to go upstairs and get into bed. Once the child gets into bed, she won't come down unless she yells." Chouyu served Zhu Badger a glass of warm honey water.

Zhu Badger took the honey water, cast a grateful glance at Chou Yu, and asked, "Then can you tell me and Quan'er what happened after we were poisoned by Zhu Hu?"

"Of course, go to my room." Chouyu picked up a cup of tea and walked out of the kitchen.

Zhu Badger followed Chouyu with honey water in hand, muttering in his heart, now that he is clearly Chouyu, why does he still like to drink strong tea like Ma Yasha?

Mayaksha, a woman, likes to drink strong tea just as much as the old man who doesn't live in the village. The so-called fermented tea is strong tea. Every household in Lvbuo Village has a tea mountain. During the Qingming Festival every year, every household will go up to the mountain to pick tea leaves, and then fry them into green tea themselves. They never take out the tea, and only keep it for themselves to taste. When it gets up, first boil a large pot of water, grab a large handful of self-fried tea leaves and put them into the tea vat. After brewing, the tea leaves fill the entire tea vat and you can drink it all day long.

Mayaksha's room and Zhu Badger's room were separated by a hall. It was only half the size of Zhu Badger's room because the outer half was used as a kitchen. Zhu Badger rarely enters Mayasha's room, it always feels too refreshing. Although Mayasha is tall and carefree outside, he always looks clean and orderly at home, especially his own room, which is cleaned every day. It is hard to find even a speck of dust, and everything is neatly arranged. Neatly.

Zhu Badger was a little uncomfortable walking into Mayaksha's room, and stood at the door looking very reserved.

"Come in and sit on the bed." Chouyu greeted Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger looked at Chouyu, his nose suddenly became sour, and tears came down.

"Hey, hey, what's going on? Did I do something wrong?" Chouyu hurriedly put the teapot on the bedside table, came over and knelt down in front of Zhu Badger with a "plop".

Zhu Badger looked at Chou Yu who was kneeling in front of him, and his tears flowed more fiercely, like a flood that was opening a gate and rushing endlessly.

"Fairy, please tell me where my maid has done wrong. I will correct it. You must not shed tears. This is not allowed." Chou Yu kept kowtowing.

Zhu Badger leaned over and hugged Chouyu, bursting into tears. After a while, he choked up and said: "My mother, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you."

"Fairy, why did you say this? It was the maid who was sorry for the fairy. It was the maid who was guilty. The maid caused the fairy to suffer in the deep mountains and old forests." Chou Yu cried.

Chou Yu's tears and Zhu Badger's tears flowed like broken pearls, and they gathered together before falling to the ground. They shone together, and Zhu Yuanzhang in red robes flashed out in the bright light.

"You two beauties don't need to be sad. The fault lies with me. I will apologize to these two beauties." Zhu Yuanzhang bent down and bowed.

Zhu Badger raised his head and shouted: "You emperor, you have such ulterior motives!"

"Fairy, I apologize sincerely, my heart is like a mirror." Zhu Yuanzhang bent down.

Zhu Badger got up and helped Chouyu to the bedside, scolding Zhu Yuanzhang: "You are wearing a red robe to pay homage to us, don't you just want to worship us to death so that you can be reincarnated?"

"The fairy has wronged me. I will get up and apologize to you." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up.

Zhu Badger pulled Chouyu to sit down on the bed, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "My dogs and I were tricked and poisoned by Zhu Hu, and it was you who sent me and the dogs back home when the wind blew?"

"Fairy praises me too much. I am trapped in the underworld and cannot protect myself. How can I have the power to blow the wind?" Zhu Yuanzhang told the truth.

Zhu Badger was just testing. He looked at Chou Yu and continued to ask Zhu Yuanzhang: "Which immortal saved the dogs and me?"

"Fairies are noble and have immortals to protect them." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
