Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 5 Rabbit

"Hahaha, hahaha..." Zhu Badger kept laughing while lying on the bed.

Ma Yaksha squatted on the ground and fed the two dairy goats corn stalks and carrots, and said angrily: "What will happen to you now?"

"What's the point? Now the puppy's feeding problem is completely solved, and you and I can properly drink fresh goat's milk every day."

"This sheep can bleat whenever it wants. Once it bleats, the squinty-eyed woman won't come to your door. How do you explain that you stole her milk goat?"

"Explain? When were you, Ma Yaksha, afraid of her cross-eyed woman? When will I, the Eight Badger Immortals, explain to her cross-eyed woman? Besides, this goat will never bark. Who told her to be so stingy? She wants to drink goat's milk, but doesn't. To feed the sheep, don’t you and I usually feed them more?”

"That's right, otherwise these two sheep won't kiss you and follow you in quietly."

"Hey, why do you think this dog is a fairy dog?" Zhu Badger asked Ma Yasha while looking at the eight puppies lying in her arms. After Ma Yasha fed the two dairy goats and sat on a bamboo chair, he asked Zhu Badger: "Have you seen that bitch before?"

"No, it's probably not our village." Zhu Badger answered directly without thinking.

"That's good. Do you think that bitch was disemboweled? No, she had a difficult labor and cut her own belly, and then came over to beg you to raise her child." Ma Yasha asked and answered his own question .

Zhu Badger stood up, looked at Ma Yasha for a while, and then asked in a disdainful tone: "What are you talking about? Do you want me to help you solve something, or do you want me to continue going out to work?"

"Is there something that I, Ma Yasha, can't handle if the donkey doesn't come to the village? It's none of my business whether you go out to work or not? You always have something to eat when you have a full meal at home." Ma Yasha also looked disdainful.

Zhu Badger frowned and asked in a gentle tone: "Then why do you say that the bitch cut open her own belly? And she came to me to raise her children?"

"From the bleeding all the way, it can be determined that the bitch threw herself on the guillotine of Tian Leizi's house and cut her belly. Then she ran to the threshold of the gate to wait for you, because you were the only one in the whole old house who would risk everything to carry the puppy home." At this moment, Ma Yaksha does not look like the shrew she once was, but only has the love and tolerance of a mother.

Zhu Badger couldn't adapt to Ma Yasha's change. She looked at her mother blankly, replaying the scene of the disemboweled bitch lying on the doorstep in the morning in her mind, and she wanted to cry.

"You must be thinking, Tian Laizi's house has to pass through the fourth door to the front yard. Since the mother dog's belly has been cut open, how come the puppy inside didn't fall out halfway?" Ma Yasha reached out and stroked the puppy. .

"Ah?" Zhu Badger came back to his senses, patted the bed board, and said to Ma Yasha in an unprecedented gentle tone: "Come to the bed, it's cold down there."

"Just sit like this. Others can't just lie on your bed. Let me tell you, when the bitch cut open her belly, the puppy's umbilical cord was still attached to her body. She only bit it off when she reached the threshold. The umbilical cord is waiting for you to come and save the puppy." Tears flashed in Mayasha's eyes like black beans.

It was the first time that Zhu Badger saw Ma Yasha shed tears. Her nose was sore and she cried loudly.

Ma Yaksha cried bitterly together, and the two of them cried so hard that they were so frightened that the cross-eyed woman, who had just returned from Mr. Zhu's place and wanted to eavesdrop on the wall, ran back to her home like she was running for her life.

The squinty-eyed woman told Mr. Zhu that Zhu badger walked back and forth silently on two white clouds. Mr. Zhu laughed, and the squinty-eyed woman was wondering? Wanting to find out what happened, Mr. Zhu pushed her out and closed the door. She had no choice but to return.

After returning to the front yard, the squinty-eyed woman felt panicked. She couldn't help but tiptoe to the door of Zhu Badger's house. As soon as her wheat cake face pressed against the crack of the door, heart-wrenching cries came from inside, and she almost fainted from fright.

"Sure enough, sure enough, you can't approach the home of the Badger Immortals casually." The slant-eyed woman covered her chest with her hands and waited until her heartbeat stabilized before she dared to look out.

The snow was still falling all over the sky, and there was a vast white silence outside the house. Although the squinty-eyed woman lives next door to the Zhu Badger family and is the closest neighbor to the Zhu Badger family in the old house, the distance is still quite far.

As an old house with eight entrances and eight exits covering an area of ​​more than 8,000 square meters, the main house and the side house are quite tightly separated. Zhu Badger's house is the main house of the whole old house, Zhu Badger's room is the main room inside the main house, and Ma Yaksha lives in the side room of the main house.

The old house faces south, with its back on the mountain behind the village. It is built along the mountain, layer by layer. The structure combines Jiangnan and Saibei styles. On the left side of Ruyi Gate is a row of ten reverse-seat rooms. After a small passage and through the hanging flower door, there is a huge front yard. In addition to the eight main rooms of Zhu Badger's family, the front yard also has east and west wing rooms. Eight rooms each.

The Zhu Badger family is the owner of the old house, the designated descendants of the old woman who saved Zhu Yuanzhang, so they have lived in the main house for generations, and the other side houses were originally occupied by servants. Except for the main house, which continues to be owned by the Zhu Badger family, the other houses are all allocated to villagers in Lvbui Village, regardless of whether their surname is Zhu. The squinty-eyed woman's father-in-law once served as the village chief of Donkeybu Village, so he lived in the east wing of the old house with the best front yard besides the main house.

Judging from the topography of Lvbubu Village and the structure of the old house, the east wing of the front yard is indeed second only to the main house because it is exposed to the sun for a long time.

The squinty-eyed woman lay on the windowsill of her kitchen in the east wing and looked toward Zhu Badger's room in the main house. This was her habit, and she would secretly observe from a distance if she didn't dare to get close.

The heavy snow was falling non-stop, and the cross-eyed woman's eyes were a little blurry. She had a harder time seeing objects than normal people.

Whoosh, a black dot flashed by, but there was nothing in the yard except white. Did you see it wrong? The cross-eyed woman blinked.

Covering up her slanted eyes, the slanted-eyed woman can be regarded as a beautiful woman with a fair complexion and her charm is still there in her late fifties. No wonder Mr. Zhu accidentally touched the sensitive part of her front once and he still dares not to be in front of her or in front of ordinary people. In front of me, I was shaking the folding fan while talking. When I was alone at night, I would miss that feeling from time to time.

Whoosh, another black spot flashed by, and now the squinting woman could see it clearly, but when he looked again, it was still white outside.

The squinty-eyed woman opened the window, opened her squinted eyes to the extreme, and looked around the yard without blinking.

Whoosh, the black dot flashed, and the cross-eyed woman rushed out of the house as fast as possible, rushed to the yard, and rushed to the place where the black dot flashed.

"Someone, come quickly, there's another murder in the old house!"

The shout of the squinty woman broke the tranquility of the old house and the tranquility of the village where the donkey could not reach it.

The first ones to arrive at the scene were One-Armed Luo and Stilt-legged Man. The two of them were feeling complacent about finding a way to deal with the red badger. They were drinking from cup to cup until their faces turned red. When they heard the slant-eyed woman calling out that another murder had occurred in the old house, The reaction was so fast and the steps were so fast that even they themselves could not believe it.

"Blood?"

"The case?"

The one-armed Luo and the swing-legged man asked the cross-eyed woman, as if they were great detectives who came to solve the murder.

"Down here, down below!" The squinty-eyed woman responded loudly, staring at the door of Zhu Badger's house with her squinting eyes. She was ecstatic about the response after the one-armed Luo and Stilt-legged Man arrived first without any gossip.

The one-armed Luo and the stiletto-legged man lowered their heads to search with drunken eyes. The yard was completely white and there was nothing unusual. They couldn't help but spat on the ground and cursed: "What's down there?"

"Where is the blood down there? Could it be your down there?"

"The coffin is already rotten and can it still bleed underneath? Unless the squinting eyeball falls!"

"If the slanted eyeball falls, can you still touch the Zhu Fan?"

Seeing that it was just a false alarm, the lay people from the old house and other people who arrived one after another couldn't help but ridicule the squinty woman.

Squinting Po saw that the door of Zhu Badger's house was still closed. She was extremely disappointed and didn't know where the courage came from. He stepped forward and took a few steps towards Zhu Badger's house. He bent over and stretched out his hands to scratch off the new snow on it.

"what?!"

The dozen or so bloody rabbits were so frightening that One-Armed Luo and Stilt-legged Man collapsed on the snow, and everyone who came over couldn't help but retreat.
