Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 33 Father

A father's love is like a mountain, and a daughter is his father's little cotton-padded jacket and his lover in the past life. Zhu Badger has read these words in books, but today he finally sat with his biological father and only felt the mountain-like fatherly love from Zhu Yunshan. , but I am unable to become his little cotton-padded jacket.

Zhu Badger understood that the reason why Zhu Yunshan left her, Mayaksha, and the old house in this way was to protect her, Mayaksha, and the old house. Zhu Badger might not be able to understand this kind of truth before, but now she understands it completely. As an ominous thing born in a cave, it just becomes an excuse for those who covet the old house to cause trouble.

Saying goodbye to Zhu Yunshan, he left the cave and returned to his old house. The front yard had returned to calm, and Ma Yasha peeled off two rice dumplings for Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger knew that these two rice dumplings were from the cross-eyed mother-in-law's family. If you don't eat them, they will be eaten in two or three bites.

Ma Yasha sat opposite Zhu Badger and looked at Zhu Badger quietly. After Zhu Badger finished eating the rice dumplings, he said, "Lu Huan and Dan'er are tired after playing all day and have gone to bed. They have eaten seven or eight rice dumplings. It’s okay if you don’t eat all day tomorrow.”

Zhu Badger didn't respond, and looked at Ma Yasha quietly. After she finished speaking, he stood up, reached out and pulled out a white hair on her head, sat back in the chair, holding the white hair in his hand, Zhu Badger's eyes were moist. , choked with sobs: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Don't you know now?" Ma Yasha replied lightly, but his eyes were already moist.

Zhu Badger stared at the white hair on his hand and said nothing, and Ma Yasha also said nothing. The mother and daughter sat quietly in the hall, speechless, with only the old-fashioned self-ringing clock "廄廄廄" walking on its own.

"嘡, 嘡, 嘡..." After the self-ringing bell struck six times, Ma Yaksha stood up and said to himself: "Tomorrow we have to wrap rice dumplings for a day, so go to bed early."

"Go to bed and meet the person in your dreams." Zhu Badger said as he walked to his room, tears flowing even more fiercely.

Going to bed at six o'clock in the middle of winter is normal for villagers in Lvbuo Village. If you are still hanging out, others will suspect that you are up to no good.

Zhu Badger entered the room, and eight pig badgers and eight thin dogs surrounded him. Zhu Badger was not surprised that the eight pig badgers returned to their room from the cave on their own. Zhu Yunshan could live in harmony with them in the cave, which meant that they could come and go freely from the tree hole of the big camphor tree to her room in the old house to the cave. It's just that she didn't pay attention before.

If Zhu Yunshan dies, those people will not be too eager to push Ma Yaksha and Zhu Badger orphans and widowers. While winning the sympathy of some people, they can also use the story of pig badger to protect Zhu Badger to scare other people who are ready to move. In this way The pig badger was different from Zhu Yunshan before. Maybe Ma Yasha went to the cave to give birth to the badger on purpose.

Zhu Badger leaned over and stroked the eight pig badgers. The eight pig badgers seemed to understand her thoughts and took her pants to the corner of the room. At the foot of the wall connecting to the hall, a pig badger arched its beak. , a blue brick moved to one side; then arched, another blue brick moved to the other side, and then a hole was revealed. The pig badger with its mouth pressed against the green brick shrank and got into the hole. After a while, it came out of the hole again. It drilled several times until the red badger nodded and then pushed back the two blue bricks to cover the cave. .

No wonder he never hung Zhu Yunshan's portrait in his home. He never put chopsticks for Zhu Yunshan when worshiping his ancestors on the three days of Tomb Sweeping Day, July 15th, and Winter Solstice. Sure enough, his own father was not dead.

Zhu Badger had doubted many times, how could his family live so well just by working in the mountains and fields on Mayasha? Those common people said that their ancestors left too much gold, silver and jewelry to their family. Zhu Badger almost believed it, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yunshan was working in the provincial capital to make money.

Zhu Yunshan reminded Zhu Badger that he should not call his neighbors like the common people. Most of the neighbors are kind and honest mountain people, especially those who live in the old houses and have been villagers for generations. It is really inappropriate. easy. What we have to deal with are those outsiders and evil people with evil intentions.

Foreign troublemakers? A villain with evil intentions? Zhu Badger told Zhu Yunshan that Mr. Zhu guessed that Lan Yuliu was a descendant of Lan Yu and came to the old house to seek revenge and steal treasures. Zhu Yunshan said that it is currently impossible to verify whether Lan Yuliu is the descendant of Lan Yu, and there is no need to verify it, because Grandma Taizu is kind and it is impossible to form a grudge against Lan Yu. If she wants to owe a debt, Lan Yu owes Grandma Taizu, and seeking revenge is also the same. We seek revenge on her. But one thing is certain, Lan Yuliu must have evil intentions when he comes to Lvbu Village and lives in the old house. You will know when Huang Qiukui comes back and asks.

Zhu Badger didn't expect that Zhu Yunshan also said that if he asked Huang Qiukui, he would know the identity of Lan Yuliu? So Okra is really doing well in the provincial capital? Zhu Yunshan said that Huang Qiukui, the road engineering company where he worked, had shares, a large share.

Zhu Badger didn't believe it. Isn't Huang Okra the weasel's little daughter? Bi Zhu Badger is only seven or eight years older, not even thirty yet, right? How can you have so much energy all at once? Zhu Yunshan said that Huang Qiukui married a big boss. Less than three months after the marriage, the big boss suddenly passed away and all the assets belonged to her.

All assets belong to her? is it possible? Doesn’t that big boss have any descendants? Zhu Yunshan told Zhu Badger that he also heard from his coworkers that the big boss had never had children, and Huang Qiukui gave birth to a son for him. Naturally, all the property belonged to her, and the son was still young.

Didn’t you say that you were married less than three months ago? How come you have a son? Isn't she human? Is okra edible? How many months will it take to bear fruit? Faced with Zhu Badger's question, Zhu Yunshan smiled and said to her: "I was just like you at first and couldn't believe it. This person needs ten months of pregnancy to give birth. How could she, Huang Qiukui, give birth to her son in less than three months?" ? It turns out that this big boss waited for Huang Qiukui to give birth to his son before he found out that the matchmaker was marrying her."

"It's so shameless to put Nao Xi in jail. Giving birth to a son for others before getting married has really ruined our reputation as a donkey in the village and brought shame to the old house. If he comes back, I will never let her step into half of the old house. Step." Zhu Badger was extremely angry. Zhu Yunshan knew that his daughter had a clear distinction between love and hate, and could not tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. He patiently enlightened Zhu Badger: "My child, Huang Qiukui is the only person we can rely on at the moment. Only through her can we find out what Lan Yuliu is like." Someone? Only through her can we gain connections in the county and province and keep our old home."

"Climb into the connections between the county and the province? Do you want to climb high? I didn't expect you to become such a person, then you are not my biological father. Also, what kind of person is Lan Yuliu? I will find out myself It's clear." Zhu Badger angrily walked out of the cave.

Zhu Yunshan looked at Zhu Badger's back and said: "Son, dad is not trying to climb a high branch. Dad wants to contact experts from the county and province through Huang Okra to see our old house in person. Dad asked in the provincial capital, if If the old house can be listed as a 'national security', then no one can demolish it. Also, if you want to find out the details of Lan Yuliu through Dan'er's father, you must not do it. He protects us, and we should protect him."

Zhu Badger was lying on the bed thinking about Zhu Yunshan's last words to her. She was excited and worried at the same time. What was exciting was that if the old house could be listed as a "national security", no one could demolish it, although she didn't know the specific concept of "national security" yet? The worry is that you have to go through Huang Okra to contact the people above. This Huang Okra is definitely not a good person. She must have ulterior motives when she comes back this time, and she may be used by her.

After hearing Zhu Yunshan's last words, Zhu Badger was still a little excited. It seemed that Yushu Linfeng was really Dan'er's father, and it was impossible for his biological father to talk nonsense. Sure enough, he has been protecting himself. Protecting himself is equivalent to protecting the old house. With his protection, the old house does not have to worry.

Do you really not have to worry about Laozhai? Can Yushu Linfeng deal with that Blue Jade Willow? What if Okra also came back to the old house? Zhu Badger had a headache thinking about it, fell into a drowsy sleep, and had a particularly strange dream.

The flutes and flutes were melodious, the silk and bamboo were melodious, and a group of beautiful girls knelt in front of the red badger in the mist. They all advised: "I beg the fairy to take a bath and change clothes. The queen's peach event is about to begin."

"I look good in this coarse cloth, but I can't get used to those silks and satins. Also, why did I come to take a red bath? Do you want me to die? Let me tell you, who cares about the queen? Who cares about the peach? A grand gathering? It has nothing to do with me." Zhu Badger was furious for no reason.

An older one of the beautiful girls kowtowed and said, "The Fairy is the ninth daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. As the Nine Fairies, if you don't attend the Peach Festival, what dignity will the Empress have in front of the gods and immortals?" We, the little immortals, will also be punished by the empress." "Whether she has any face or not is none of my business? Whether you are punished or not is none of my business. Let me tell you, the thing that bothers me the most is to pick one. Just eat the flat peaches, why do you have to hold a flat peach party? Not only it wastes people and money, but also wastes everyone's precious time. Doesn't it mean that she can't show her identity as a queen if she doesn't hold a meeting? Can she show off herself only by sitting on the stage? You all Let me go and tell her that if I go, her meeting will not be held." Zhu Badger's nameless fire became even greater. He stomped his feet and wanted to stay away from these beautiful girls, but he lost his focus. , falling from the clouds.

During the fall, Zhu Badger was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt very happy, even more happy than riding a roller coaster. When she was working in the provincial capital, she and Lu Huan went to an amusement park to ride a roller coaster. Lu Huan was so frightened that he screamed. She was so calm and didn't feel anything at all. She kept feeling sad that the ticket money could have been spent on her part-time job. The little money I earned was spent on buying a hairpin for Mayaksha as a gift, but it was all spent on the amusement park.

The sound of the wind passed by her ears, and Zhu Badger let herself fall from the sky. She recalled what the beautiful girl had just said, and felt a little incredible.

I wonder, how could this girl be the ninth daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother?
Oh, probably referring to my predecessor? Didn’t even Lady Guanyin say that I am the Nine Immortals? Nine Immortals, Nine Immortals, Nine Immortals originally refers to the ninth daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother?
Zhu Badger suddenly realized that he fell into the abyss. The abyss was endless, dark and scary.

Zhu Badger groped forward, trying to climb out of the abyss. After climbing a few steps, two pairs of skinny hands stretched out. The fingers of one hand are bright red, and the fingers of the other hand are dark green. The nails of both hands are as sharp as beaks and sharp as daggers, and they claw directly towards the face of the red badger.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Zhu Badger simply closed his eyes and let it be grabbed. After a while, Zhu Badger felt no pain. He opened his eyes and saw someone kneeling and someone standing in front of him. If you look closely, you will see that the kneeling person is Chou Yu and the standing person is Zhu Yuanzhang. Seeing Zhu Badger open his eyes, Chouyu and Zhu Yuanzhang cried out in unison: "Fairy, save me, fairy, save me."

"Save you? Do you need me to save you? You keep saying that you are here to serve me, but you are nowhere to be seen for no reason." After Zhu Badger scolded Chou Yu, he scolded Zhu Yuanzhang: "Aren't you the emperor? Does the emperor need my rescue? Don't be here anymore. Just pretend to be your emperor in front of me."

"Fairy, calm down, fairy, calm down." Chou Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang begged together. Chou Yu said, "My maid serves the fairy wholeheartedly. I didn't expect that this dog emperor would come out to make trouble, annoy the King of Hell, and drag my maid back to the underworld." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "How dare I? I have no choice but to make trouble. I have to wait for the fairy to ascend to heaven, but the fairy has no intention of ascending to heaven. I have no choice but to risk my life to come and see the fairy."

"Hasn't it been more than six hundred years since you died? Why would you risk your own life? I knew it was you, an ugly old man, who was responsible. Come on, I don't want to see you again." Zhu Badger stretched out his hand to push Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang Youhu disappeared. Zhu Badger looked for ugly jade, but there was no trace of ugly jade.

Zhu Badger shouted: "I am the Nine Immortals, and I want to protect the old house!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Badger's body floated out of the abyss and to the top of Dongshan Mountain.

"Child, don't think too much, let everything take its course." Grandma Taizu sat under the ancient pine tree and held Zhu Badger in her arms. Zhu Badger was warmer than ever before. He pursed his lips and told Grandma Taizu: "Grandma Taizu, they want to steal the treasures of the old house and destroy the old house."

"What should go will naturally go, so why bother to hold back too much. As long as you do your best, nothing can be immortal."

"Grandma Taizu, you asked me to take good care of the old house. Every brick, tile, door and window must be taken care of."

"At this moment and that moment, Grandma Taizu hopes that you will be well. Everything else is just an external thing, not worth pitying."

"No, I don't care enough about you. The safety of the old house is the first priority. I will definitely take good care of the old house and not let it lose a brick, a tile, a door or a window."

"My good boy, thank you. Remember, Liu Luzhi, the old house is safe."

"'The willows are coming, the old house is safe'? Grandma Taizu, what does it mean? Grandma Taizu, what does it mean? Grandma Taizu, Grandma Taizu..."

Zhu Badger looked around and saw that Taizu's grandma was missing. He woke up with sweat all over his body, mixed with the red color, and soaked the quilt underneath him. Fortunately, lying on the bed, Zhu Badger did not need to cover herself with a quilt, but only had to wrap herself with a sheet. The heat transferred to her by the eight thin dogs and eight pig badgers sleeping around her was enough to withstand the cold weather for several nights. of coldness.

At this moment, it was the time of birth, and the self-ringing clock in the hall had just struck twelve times. Zhu Badger was no longer sleepy, and kept repeating the words "The willows are coming, the old house is safe" in his mind.

"When the willow trees turn green, the old house will be safe." Does that mean that when the willow trees turn green, the old house will be safe? That's great. Zhu Badger was happy, but this excitement only lasted for a few seconds. Thinking that it was still the twelfth lunar month, his mood immediately dropped. Alas, it will still be several months before the willow trees will turn green. I wonder what will happen in these few months? Now the evil people are coming to the door one by one. I wonder if I can deal with them? If it were just the blue jade willow, there should be no problem in dealing with her. But Huang Okra is definitely not easy to deal with. He is so cunning and cunning at a young age, and he is also rich and powerful. He also grew up in an old house and knows everything about him.

Badger Zhu didn't believe what her own father and Mr. Zhu said. She decided that this Huang Okra would not be a good person. If he didn't come back sooner or later, he would definitely come to the old house if he came back at this time.

However, time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon travel back and forth. This life is said to be very slow, but it is said to be very fast. It is so fast that you can't remember why you have grown one year older? After the New Year, the willow trees will begin to sprout, and by May, the willow trees will be full of green. Then I can just hold on for a few more months, and then I will feel relieved that my old house is safe. Humph, what do you care about Blue Jade Willow? What okra? As long as I'm here, you can't even think about taking advantage of the old house.

Hey, there is "Liu" in the name of this blue jade willow. Could Grandma Taizu mean that when the blue jade willow reaches Lvbu Village and the old house, the old house will be safe? How can it be? She obviously came here for the treasure of the old house, how could she be safe when she got to the old house? She should be more dangerous when she arrives at the old house. Didn't you see the pride she showed when she provoked me? It was as if she was already the owner of the old house and everything in the old house was under her control.

Blue jade willow, no matter what kind of willow yours is? I will make you leave the old house in despair and leave the village.

Mr. Zhu was right, she must have come here seeking revenge and stealing treasures. Seeking revenge has nothing to do with me. My biological father said that Grandma Taizu is aboveboard and there is no revenge for her.

Hey, what do the six words that Grandma Taizu said in her dream, "The willows are green, the old house is safe" mean? Alas, it’s all my fault. Why did I wake up without asking? How about I sleep again? Go dream about Grandma Taizu again? Ask her clearly in person?

Zhu Badger closed his eyes, hoping to have a good dream. There was Grandma Taizu in the dream, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. His mind was full of willow trees. The willow tree by Taiping Pond in front of the old house couldn't be taken away.
