Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 43 Beast

Badger Zhu interrupted Director Zhang, not just because she didn't want her neighbors to know too much that Zhu Yunshan was indeed alive, especially where he was hiding. More importantly, she wanted to force Director Zhang to tell clearly in front of everyone who was instigating him? What do you want to do?
Director Zhang was already scared out of his mind, how could he dare to hide anything? Pouring mung beans through a bamboo tube was just a matter of fact. He was afraid that Zhu Badger would still not be satisfied, so he simply used his expertise as an office director and cautiously added the following confession:

Early this morning, our chairman, president and general manager of Huang Qiukui assigned us to go up the mountain to catch a man named Zhu Yunshan. He was said to be rewarded heavily for catching him. Not to mention that this year’s year-end bonus will be doubled, and the big red envelope will be even bigger. I asked Huang Okra, chairman, president and general manager, if this man is that important? She said it is as heavy as a thousand catties, and with him, he can control you, oh, it should be called a fairy. Controlling you as a fairy is equivalent to controlling the old house and controlling the donkey to the village.

Accepting such an important task, my subordinates and I did not dare to be negligent and headed towards our destination without breakfast. Along the way we climbed over mountains and ridges, overcame all difficulties, and finally reached a cave. The cave was so dark and unfathomable that no one dared to be the first to enter. In the end, I took the lead and was the first to rush into the cave. As a result, as soon as he took two steps in, he was surrounded by a group of mythical beasts.

The mythical beast looked like a pig but not a pig, a rat but not a rat. It had round ears, a short neck, small eyes, and a long tail. They swept us all to the ground. If you, the fairy, hadn't appeared and sang the song "With Mother and Father," we might have been bitten to death by those mythical beasts and become a delicious meal for them.

Zhu Badger wanted to laugh when she heard this. Because she had already sent her eight pig badgers to go through the tunnel to the cave to protect her own father last night, she felt at ease and allowed Huang Okra to send people to catch him.

"Very good. It's rare that you know "With My Mother and My Father" and it's rare that you observe those mythical beasts so carefully. Then let the mythical beasts appear." After Zhu Badger finished speaking, he blew a loud whistle, and eight pig badgers ran towards Zhu. Badger feet.

"Take a closer look, are they these mythical beasts?"

"what?"

"It's really those mythical beasts!"

"Mysterious beast, please kowtow!"

Director Zhang and his subordinates did not dare to raise their heads at first, but Zhu Badger asked them to take a closer look before they dared to raise their heads. When they saw the eight pig badgers that had besieged them, they lined up neatly and gathered around Zhu Badger's feet, staring at them with sharp eyes. They were trembling with fear.

The villagers in Lvbubu Village listened to Director Zhang's story about how they went up the mountain to capture Zhu Yunshan. Based on his description of the mythical beast, they determined that he and his subordinates just encountered a group of pig badgers in the cave, and they must have It was the cave where Mayaksha gave birth to a red badger. Because there were pig badgers in that cave, the villagers generally refused to go there. Huang Qiukui thought that Zhu Yunshan was still alive, so she hid in the cave. This was normal and not unusual at all. Who told her that she had not returned to Donkeybu Village for so many years?
Now, when the villagers looked up and saw that the eight pig badgers had really come to Zhu Badger, they suddenly became frightened and uneasy again after hearing about the book. Huang Okra was even more annoyed, hateful and afraid.

Huang Qiukui was angry that Director Zhang was such a bastard. Why did she choose such a guy to be the office director? He also took him back to the village and entrusted him with important responsibilities, but he ended up making a fool of himself.

Huang Qiukui hated Zhu Badger for being so arrogant and completely ignoring her as a big boss in the provincial capital. During the short time he returned to the village, he always opposed her and tried every means to make a fool of her.

Huang Okra is afraid of the eight pig badgers. They may not be called mythical beasts, but they will definitely obey the orders of the red badgers. If the badgers let them attack her, no matter how much money she has, it will not help. She will definitely make a fool of herself in front of her neighbors.

Huang Qiukui was annoyed, hated, and afraid, but she still had her own destiny in her heart. She thought, you Zhu Badger pretending to be a fairy, I won’t expose you, everyone will kneel to you, and I will kneel to you, too young to be able to withstand all of us. Kneel? You deserve to die on your knees! As long as I catch Zhu Yunshan, sooner or later you will have to kneel down and beg me. Even if I can't catch Zhu Yunshan, he will never see the light of day again. He will have to live in a cave for the rest of his life, forcing your family of three to death!
Huang Qiukui was in a good mood when she thought of this. She just remembered that she had put on a show of annihilation of relatives in the past, slapped Director Zhang several times in front of the neighbors, and then announced his dismissal, saying that his chicken feathers were used as arrows, and that he wanted to eat game and lead others. Going up the mountain, he was attacked by a pig badger and framed on his master. Unexpectedly, Zhu Badger spoke before her, so she had to kneel down in place.

Zhu Badger's clear voice was choked with sobs, and he said word by word: "Dear neighbors, I think everyone should hear clearly the song I just sang, "With Mother and Father." For twenty years, my mother and I have been lonely and comforted by each other. Only we, mother and daughter, know how it feels. How I long for my home to be like everyone else’s, with family reunion and harmony. For the past twenty years, my neighbors have pitied me for losing my father when I was young, and they always take extra care of me. My mother and I remember everyone's kindness one by one. I bow to everyone here and you all get up."

After everyone stood up from the ground, Zhu Badger bent ninety degrees toward all the neighbors under the big camphor tree.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhu Badger had become a fairy and she knew some etiquette. As long as we didn't go out of line, she would definitely not make things difficult for us. Huang Okra was in the same mood, thinking, I will let you poop for a while today, and wait for the opportunity to deal with you. Unexpectedly, after Zhu Badger straightened up, he stretched out his right hand and pointed directly at Huang Okra. His clear voice became stern, and he cursed: "But you Huang Okra, you think you are great if you have a few stinky money. I tell you, as a donkey, you can't I am happy to see the villagers return to their hometowns in fine clothes, and the neighbors are also happy, but why do you want to rub salt into my and my mother's wounds? Nonsense that my father is still alive in the world makes my and my mother's withered hearts rejuvenate. . You are awesome and you have money, so why don’t you bring my father to reunite with our mother and daughter? Then my mother and I will kowtow and bow nine times to thank you. What do the neighbors think now? Those who don’t know better still think that How vicious is my mother?"

There was silence under the big camphor tree. The adults and children were all concentrating on holding their breaths. They didn't dare to sneeze. They covered their mouths and noses with both hands, holding it in until their faces turned red, their ears red, and their necks swollen. Huang Okra was even more uneasy and wanted to leave. She didn't have the courage. What if the red badger whistled and eight pig badgers attacked her together? What's more, she also has eight thin dogs. Just now she whistled when she bowed to everyone, and now they all arrived at the scene, forming two rows on the left and right together with the eight pig badgers, staring eagerly at everyone under the platform.

There's nothing you can do about it. If a tiger falls down and is bullied by a dog, I'd like to hear what else you can say. Anyway, the scolding doesn't hurt at all, and I won't lose a bit of flesh on my body. I remember when I seduced my son's father, his father's first wife scolded me a hundred times worse than now. Didn't I still rise to the top and become a wealthy woman in the provincial capital? Thinking of this, Huang Okra started to relax again. She looked at the person next to her and the one standing far away. It seemed that the person Zhu Badger was scolding was not her, but Zhu Badger himself.

Zhu Badger saw Huang Qiukui's every move. Seeing her like this, Zhu Badger suddenly burst into tears. He changed the topic and said to the villagers in a plaintive tone: "Dear elders, everyone is young, my mother and I I miss my biological father day and night, wishing that he could come back to life and live happily with us. I have seen this scene countless times in my dreams, but when I wake up, it is still a dream. What happened to my dead father? Can you still survive?"

After hearing this, all the villagers lowered their heads, and some wiped away tears. Zhu Badger wiped away his tears and asked the villagers in a pleading tone: "Everyone, I have become a real fairy now. If I can bring back my dead father, will you agree?"

"agree!"

"Strongly agree!"

"One hundred yes!"

"Hands up in agreement!"

The voices of Lan Yuliu, Lu Huan, One-Armed Luo, and Stilt-legged Man became louder one after another. Some people were stunned for a while and then shouted after them. In the end, except for the Huang family, the flat-mouthed woman, and the Pig-Butcher looked at each other coldly, The whole mountain shouted "agree".

Badger Zhu stood on the earth platform under the big camphor tree and did not stop everyone from shouting. When everyone slowly calmed down, she did not speak immediately. She looked at Mr. Zhu who was standing at the gate of the old house. She wanted to wait for Mr. Zhu to express his stand alone with Huang Okra. Make a formal decision after speaking.

Mr. Zhu knew that Badger Zhu was waiting for him to speak, so he shook his folding fan and said slowly: "The song "Walking with Mother and Send to Father" has already made all the villagers cry. Wouldn't "Welcome Father Back" move the world? The old man and All the neighbors are looking forward to the fairy welcoming his father back home."

"Welcome father back!" "Welcome father home!"

Everyone shouted.

"slow!"

Huang Qiukui shouted and jumped onto the platform, standing proudly next to Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger never expected that Huang Qiukui would dare to come on stage, let alone that she would be so proud of him. Huang Qiukui felt unhappy, and Zhu Badger understood. Zhu Badger wants to welcome his father back, but Huang Qikui cannot simply let his wish come true. Zhu Badger understands better. But I always thought that Huang Qiukui would cause trouble behind his back, and it was impossible to stop him in front of everyone.

Huang Qiukui was actually brave for a moment. When she stood next to Zhu Badger, she still felt a little guilty. Of course she was not afraid of Zhu Badger. She was not afraid of ten Zhu Badgers. Even though Zhu Badger had been preaching for a whole day, she believed that Zhu Badger was not afraid of Zhu Badger. It is possible to become a real fairy. There are no gods in this world. Zhu Badger is just playing some tricks. The villagers who had lived in the mountains for a long time believed it to be true, but she, Huang Okra, did not. She just knelt down and called "fairy". She just followed the crowd temporarily. She didn't want to disturb the big tree like a fly and cause trouble for herself in front of the public.

Zhu Badger and Huang Okra stand together, the contrast is too obvious, one is as beautiful as a flower, with an arrogant posture; the other is ordinary, thin and frail. The moment Huang Okra jumped onto the platform, her momentum completely overwhelmed Zhu Badger. Fortunately, there were eight thin dogs and eight pig badgers beside the red badger. Sixteen mythical beasts protected the red badger. The red badger's momentum immediately overwhelmed Huang Okra, so Huang Okra didn't dare to straighten her back, and she ducked and wanted to jump off the stage.

"Now that you're here, let's talk about it." Zhu Badger's tone was stern and cold, and he didn't even look at Huang Okra.

Huang Okra didn't dare to look at the red badger. She bent down and stared at the eight thin dogs and eight pig badgers. But no matter how wide her eyes were, how could she take in all sixteen of the mythical beasts? After watching this one and that one moving, she panicked as if walking on thin ice.

"If you don't say anything, there's no chance." Zhu Badger gave an ultimatum.

Huang Qiukui thought that the red badger was going to whistle and ordered the fine dogs and pig badgers to bite her. She shook her hands like cattail fans and stammered: "I, I, I just want to ask you, you, how do you plan to welcome your father back? "You don't need to worry about this." Zhu Badger replied coldly.

Seeing that Zhu Badger had no intention of ordering the fine dogs and pig badgers to bite her, Huang Qiukui's trembling long legs turned into tremors, her back straightened slightly, she coughed and said, "If you go to that cave to pick up your father, , it means that your father faked his death back then. As for why he faked his death? You have to give me an explanation to all the people in the old house and the villagers who don’t live in the village. Otherwise, I will report it and let the higher-ups send people to investigate this matter. What kind of conspiracy is there?"

Zhu Badger remained calm after hearing Huang Qiukui's words, but the neighbors below began to talk about it, and they all whispered in agreement with Huang Qiukui's statement. Even Ma Yaksha and Mr. Zhu were a little out of breath. One wanted to go up to the stage to argue with Huang Okra, and the other wanted to rush down the steps to explain to the neighbors.

Huang Okra was arrogant, returned to her true nature, and laughed secretly: Humph, you bean sprouts want to fight with me? You are overestimating your capabilities! Even if you have eight thin dogs, eight pigs and badgers, do you dare to order them to bite me in public? Even if you order them to bite me, the worst I can do is go back to the provincial capital and get a few more rabies shots. what about you? Get out of the old house, get out of the village, unless you kneel down and beg me. Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won’t agree. Unless you move out of the old house and give up the main house...

Just when Huang Okra was feeling triumphant and daydreaming, just when Ma Yasha was about to jump onto the platform, just when Mr. Zhu was about to lift his robe and go down the steps, Zhu Badger burst out laughing, laughing heartily, wantonly, and happily. A dark cloud rolled over, covering the warm sun.

After laughing, Zhu Badger faced Huang Qiukui and said sternly: "It's useless for you to talk nonsense. If you want the old owner's house, just say so. But I tell you clearly, you will always be an idiot and the old owner's house cannot be yours. , give up this heart as soon as possible!" How could Huang Qiukui give up easily, and immediately retorted: "Am I just talking nonsense? Money can make all the difference. As long as I have money, I can do anything. But you, want to welcome me? Your father, who has a broken leg, can go back to his old house and talk nonsense!"

Zhu Badger was shocked when he heard Huang Qiukui scolding his father as a father with a broken leg. Ma Yaksha's expression in the audience changed drastically. He knew there must be something hidden and wanted to ask clearly, but when he thought about it, no, then I wouldn't have wasted all my previous efforts and ruined myself. Conflicted, have you admitted defeat? Not only would this fail to welcome my father back, but it might actually kill him, so he ignored Huang Qikui and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone knows that my father passed away unfortunately. I think everyone knows whether there is any conspiracy or conspiracy. It’s fair to say. Now that I have become a real fairy, I want to welcome my father back. Some people say it’s just a dream, so I will welcome my dad back in front of everyone today and see who is the dreamer!”

"What do you mean?" Huang Okra and Liu Ye raised her eyebrows.

Zhu Badger smiled and replied: "I will welcome my father back on this stage in front of everyone."

"Welcoming your father's return on this earthen platform in front of everyone? Right now?" Huang Okra and Liu Ye's eyes were as wide as lights.

Zhu Badger was still smiling and said word by word: "At this moment on this stage, I want to welcome my father back, and our family will be reunited from now on."

"Hahaha, if you can let your father with a broken leg appear on this stage at this moment, I, Huang Qiukui, will never interfere with your family's affairs or step into the old house again!" Huang Qiukui laughed.

Zhu Badger laughed: "Hahaha, okay, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, but it's a pity that you are not a gentleman, you are a villain."

"My neighbors can testify that if I go back on my word, my words will not count, and the sky will strike me with lightning, and everyone in my family will die!" Huang Qiukui swore viciously.

"Okay, be brave!"

"Okay, the whole family is dead!"

The one-armed Luo and the swing-legged man clapped their hands and took the lead in cheering. Weasel and Huang Doujiang stamped their feet anxiously, complaining in their hearts how could their daughter swear such a poisonous oath? The flat-mouthed woman pursed her lips and said softly to the pig-butcher beside her: "Son, we have a good show to watch. You pretended to be dead and failed. Now we will see if she can bring back her real dead father?" The pig-killer said: "Mom, if she really welcomes her father back, we will all die." "Damn it, she is the only one who will die, weasel, soybean paste and daylily, yellow okra, what boundary does it have with our family?" ?" Lao Gao, Lao Gao with a flat mouth. "Mom, Daylily is your wife, and we are a family." The pig-butcher explained. The flat-mouthed woman tugged at the hem of the pig-butcher's clothes and cursed: "Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly apart when disaster strikes. Don't you understand this? Stop talking, let's see how she steps down."

The audience was noisy and talked about anything. Zhu Badger calmly looked to the northwest. Huang Qiukui thought she was shrinking and said with a smile: "It is a man to be able to bend and stretch. If you say 'offense' to me in front of everyone, I can forget it and demolish it." When the time comes, the main house will consider more compensation.”

"Have you finally revealed your true purpose? Just wait until the whole family is dead." Zhu Badger turned around suddenly.
