Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 58 Rescue

Following the shouting, the people under the big camphor tree did not run towards the caller, but dispersed in a rush. Those who lived in the old house returned to their old houses, and those who lived outside the old houses returned to their homes at the foot of the mountain.

It was Huang Doujiang who screamed "Blood! Blood!" at the top of her lungs. After the big firework exploded, she shrank into a ball in fright. When Tian Xiaolei gloated, "It's not the first day of the new year that we will be treated to weasels." Meat?" Then he suddenly reacted and rushed to the place where the weasel was originally standing, but there was no sign of the weasel. The place became a big pit, a pit big enough to bury more than a dozen people.

"Baby her father, baby her father..." Huang Doujiang searched for a long time before she found the weasel covered in blood in the vegetable field more than ten meters away. "Okra, Okra, save your dad, save your dad, save your dad!" After Huang Doujiang shouted, he fainted next to the weasel.

The unexpected explosion frightened Huang Qiukui. She had raised her head to stop the nosebleed. What she was thinking about was how to retaliate against Tian Xiaolei and regain her face in front of her neighbors in Donkeybu Village. I didn't expect that the big firework would explode suddenly. My ears were buzzing, and my brain was short-circuited for several minutes. I was so scared that I fell to the ground. Huang Doujiang yelled at the weasel at the top of her lungs, but Huang Okra hadn't reacted yet. When Huang Doujiang called her to save her father, she realized that something was wrong. She quickly stood up and rushed forward, but in the end, she reversed direction and rushed towards the big camphor tree. He didn't have time to rest his feet when he came down, and rushed directly into Taiping Pond. He yelled "Oh my God!" and then there was no sound.

Even if Huang Qiukui calls "Mom" ten, a hundred, or a thousand times, her mother Huang Doujiang will never hear her, and her mother and her father still expect her to save her. She fell into the Taiping Pond by herself, and there was no longer anyone who could save her mother and her father. Although the neighbors did not insult and gloat in front of Tian Xiaolei like Tian Xiaolei, they still felt no less hatred in their hearts. I spent a lot of money to buy so many fireworks and firecrackers, always thinking that this year's opening firecrackers would be louder and more prosperous than any other year, but the results were worse and more shameless than any other year, and they were all dumb fireworks.

At present, there are only two other people in Lvbuo Village except Zhu Badger who are different from other villagers. They are neither Lu Huan nor Lan Yuliu. The two of them can only be regarded as guests, outsiders who come to Lvbuo Village. Zhu Yunshan and Mr. Zhu are different from other neighbors. One of them jumped into the Taiping Pond without hesitation and rescued Okra, while the other scolded Day Lily and the Butcher for picking up the weasel and Huangdoujiang.

The butcher held the weasel and day lily held Huang Doujiang, and carried them to Mr. Zhu's feet under the big camphor tree. Mr. Zhu leaned over to treat the weasel and Huang Doujiang. Mr. Zhu not only knows "what's wrong", but also has medical skills, which are passed down from his ancestors. He usually diagnoses and treats all the minor illnesses and pains of his neighbors when he is not in the village.

Mr. Zhu asked the butcher to scoop out a bowl of cold water and spray it on Huang Doujiang, his mother-in-law. The butler swung a wooden bucket for fire-fighting from the Taiping Pond and poured a large bucket of water on Huang Doujiang. Huang Doujiang was shocked. Wake up. Mr. Zhu originally wanted to scold the pig butcher, but when Huang Doujiang woke up, he stopped scolding him.

At the same time, Zhu Yunshan rescued Huang Qiukui and helped her vomit water and breathe. Huang Qiukui had already woken up. Zhu Yunshan asked Mr. Zhu what to do? Mr. Zhu shook his head and said that the Weasel was dead, so it was better to let Daylily and the Butcher take care of the funeral arrangements.

Day Lily turned around to call Fatty Zhu, who would be the chef at her father's funeral. Huang Qiukui got up from the ground and called "Director Zhang", "Director Wang", "Assistant Liu" and "Secretary Zhao". No one answered for a long time. She ran towards the red off-road vehicle and drove to the big camphor tree with several "beeps". Down.

When Huang Doujiang saw Huang Okra driving under the big camphor tree, she was resurrected with full blood. She stopped Huang Qiakui, scolded her for not caring about her parents' life and death, and ordered her and the butcher to carry the weasel to Huang Okra's car.

Daylily had no choice but to follow the pig-butcher to lift the weasel. With a look of reluctance, he lifted the weasel while returning Huang Doujiang's mouth: "It's better to have a funeral as soon as possible if you die. Fatty Zhu is very busy during the Chinese New Year. It's late." He can't be burned. Besides, he was injured in the ancestral hall. I wonder if he can get the kitchen knife and spatula?"

"Are you talking nonsense? Go home and get a quilt to cover your father." Huang Doujiang carried the weasel into the car by himself. When he saw Daylily walking slowly towards Xishan, he shouted and cursed: "Why don't you come back?" What do you do then? Do you still have a home there? Can you still get a quilt? "

"Don't dead people have to be covered with blankets?" Huangliang responded angrily to Huang Doujiang and continued walking towards Xishan. In addition to being a goddess, Lazui is also a mourning woman in the village. She makes all the shrouds, shoes and quilts worn by the deceased.

Huangdoujiang was so angry that the weasel jumped out of the car and chased Daylily before he could calm down. Halfway through the chase, he turned around and ran back to his own home in the old house. Dad is dead? If you can, continue to live in Xishan and don’t go back to your old home."

"Bah, bah, bah..." Huang Qiukui honked the horn hard. She was soaked and wanted to shout to Huang Doujiang to get in the car. Huang Doujiang, who was also soaked, ran to the old house. When she ran to the old house, she saw that the front door was closed. , just as she was about to go around the wall to the back door, Ma Yasha turned around the corner and said to her: "It's important to send your husband to the hospital quickly."

"Yes, it's important to send him to the hospital. It's important to send him to the hospital." Huang Doujiang hurriedly ran under the big camphor tree. As soon as he ran to the car, he was knocked to the ground by several men and women who also ran towards the car. They were the people brought back by Huang Okra. , "Director Zhang", "Director Wang", "Assistant Liu" and "Secretary Zhao" are probably all inside. They were all knocked unconscious by the explosion just now. Huang Qiukui's horn brought their souls back, and they didn't bother to wipe their heads and faces. Bloody, he just rushed towards Huang Okra's off-road vehicle.

"Help my mother get into the car, you all drive behind me and go directly to the county hospital!" Huang Qiukui is worthy of being Huang Qikui. Seeing a big scene, he sat in the cab and calmed down for a while before making orderly arrangements. When Huang Doujiang got in the car, all the people she brought got into their own cars. Huang Okra honked the horn, and the off-road vehicle roared and disappeared at the intersection, leaving only the smell of diesel.

The smell of diesel had not yet dissipated when Daylily arrived at Zhu Badger's house and stood at the gate shouting: "Fairy, Fairy..."

Badger Zhu walked out of the house and asked, "Why didn't you come with me?" Day Lily replied, "I'm going to scold you? I'm not going. Will you have lunch at your house today? Why doesn't Fatty Zhu come over?"

"Here it comes! Here it comes!" Fatty Zhu appeared under the persimmon tree of Zhu Hu's house with a kitchen knife in one hand and a spoon in the other.

"Why did you come just now?" Daylily swallowed.

"What time is it now? I just had breakfast." Fatty Zhu's head, hands and feet were all wrapped with cloth strips. Although they were cut from old sheets, they were white and not as showy as Tian Xiaolei's flowery sheets.

"Are you feeling well?" Zhu Badger asked Fatty Zhu. Fatty Zhu raised his kitchen knife and spoon and gestured to Badger Zhu: "No problem, no problem. Skin trauma is much less severe than that year when chasing wild boars on the mountain and falling off the cliff."

"It's no problem. Anyway, we don't have to cook a few dishes for lunch today. You go in and have a rest first." Zhu Badger invited Fatty Zhu to come into the house. Fatty Zhu declined politely and said that the one-armed Luo and the Tian family would bring tables and chairs over immediately and that he was ready to open fire.

Lan Yuliu came out and asked Daylily, how is her father? Day Lily didn't respond to Lan Yuliu. She approached Zhu Badger and asked, "Are you just going to cook a few dishes for lunch today? How is that possible? It's rare for Uncle Yunshan to return, and it's rare to have dinner together again in the old house during the first month of the year."

Zhu Badger answered Day Lily: "Don't worry, there won't be any missing dishes. My mother and Master Zhu have prepared them a few days ago." I'll be back soon for the funeral. I have to eat before I have the strength to cry." Daylily's two thick lips kept clicking. "You said your father will come back soon for funeral arrangements?" Zhu Badger frowned. Daylily replied: "Dead, already dead."

Just as the banquet started at noon, Dan'er ran to Zhu Badger and reported: "Sister, sister..."

"Take a sip and speak slowly." Zhu Badger handed Dan'er a bowl of rice wine. Dan'er took the rice wine and took a sip and told Zhu Badger that many cars and people came down from the big camphor tree. One of them had a bamboo cannon on the roof of the car. It also flashes and screams "wow wah wah".

Could it be that the weasel is really dead? Huang Qiukui dragged her father back to Donkeybu Village? The car with the flashing lights on the top and the "wow-wow-wow" sound should be a police car. Zhu Badger often saw it on the street when he was working in the provincial capital.

Huang Okra dragged her dead father back, why did she call the police car? Could it be that she wants to arrest someone? Does she really have that much power in the provincial capital? Even the police car listens to her? Come as soon as you say?
Naoxi was imprisoned. In the past, donkeys couldn't even reach the village. But now it's better. She, Huang Okra, bulldozers, road rollers, and even police cars drove under the big camphor tree. How can this be better? No, I have to prepare myself first.

Zhu Badger saw the villagers eating at the banquet put down their chopsticks and ran under the big camphor tree. Even the eggs disappeared. On the dozen or so dining tables in the front yard, only Daylily was left alone, still eating frantically. She I walked over and wanted to ask, "Why don't you pick up your dad?" After thinking about it, I forgot about it. This day lily is a foodie, what can I understand? Zhu Yuanzhang asked me to defeat the weasel, soybean paste and okra through daylily. Is it possible?

Zhu Badger turned back and walked into his home. He saw Ma Yaksha busy in the kitchen alone and asked, "Why don't you go watch the fun?" "What fun is there to see?" Ma Yaksha didn't even raise his head.

"Hey, where are my dogs and badgers?" Zhu Badger opened the door of his room. Eight thin dogs and eight pig badgers were missing. He came back and asked Ma Yasha. Ma Yasha replied calmly: "I have asked them to go where they should go. Some things are better to be done in advance."

"Do the dogs and badgers also listen to you?" Zhu Badger pondered for a while and continued to ask Ma Yasha: "The disemboweled bitch lying on the threshold of the old house was not your fault, was it?"

"So what? Remember, your mother will always be your mother, and your father may not be." Ma Yasha raised his head and glanced at Zhu Badger. Seeing tears in her eyes, Zhu Badger felt sour and wanted to go over and hug her. Ma Yasha asked again, but there was noise outside. The noise was getting closer and closer, and then further and further away.

"Don't go out yet. Mr. Zhu will not agree to Huang Qikui dragging the weasel into the old house and into the middle hall." Seeing that Zhu Badger wanted to go out, Ma Yasha called out to her.

Zhu Badger turned around and asked Ma Yasha: "Don't Mr. Zhu value Huang Okra very much? He is very benevolent, righteous and moral. How could he not agree to Huang Okra pulling the weasel into the old house and into the middle hall?"

"Appreciation does not mean respect. Mr. Zhu values ​​you. Be obedient and go back to your room to take a nap. Let the outside be lively for a while." Ma Yasha's tone had never been softer before, reminding Zhu Badger of someone she wanted to see. People who arrive.

Zhu Badger walked into his room, hoping to see her in his dream. But after I went to bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Although I stayed up until dawn last night, the pig-butcher's house was on fire again before dawn. I was exhausted physically and mentally from fighting the fire. Watching okra's jokes can be said to be a good time for happy events, but we are still human after all. , after going to bed, my back ached, not to mention my bones ached terribly. The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that it was coming from the back door to the front door of the old house.

Zhu Badger got out of bed and opened the door to go out. Ma Yasha was sitting at the door reading a book. Zhu Badger was stunned for more than a minute and stammered: "You, you, you are not my mother?" "Day Lily" He doesn't recognize his biological father and mother and only believes in eating. Is it possible that you do the same?" Ma Yasha didn't answer directly to Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger felt even more strange. It's not surprising that Ma Yasha, a tall and tall man, did menial work and dirty work. Zhu Badger even fired cannons into the mountains. When Lin went hunting, it was normal for her to go and do it, but sitting at the door of her room holding a book felt abnormal and absolutely impossible.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Do you want to ask the flat-mouthed woman to come over to drive away evil spirits?" Zhu Badger even found it funny when she asked this question, but even after asking it, she really didn't want anything to happen to her own mother. Although I always annoyed her for being too meddlesome in the past, I scolded her on different occasions and didn't give her any face. But since a series of murders occurred in the old house, she, her own mother, was the only one standing beside Zhu Badger to support her. Sometimes even Mr. Zhu and his newly returned biological father didn't understand her and didn't support her.

Ma Yasha did not respond to Zhu Badger. Instead, he stood up and walked to the window and looked out. Then he said to Zhu Badger: "Go to sleep peacefully. The day lilies are still there to eat, which means the weasel is not dead." "The weasel is not dead? Maybe? "Huh? Daylily is telling the truth." Zhu Badger didn't believe it.

"She only cares about eating. She doesn't care about her own father's life or death. She always thinks she's dead when she lies there. If I tell you to go to bed, go to sleep. Only by stabilizing yourself can you take the next step." Ma Yasha said, "Stabilize yourself and you can take the next step." "There's a next step" made Zhu Badger look at her with admiration again. In order to confirm a question he had always had, Zhu Badger tried: "I can't sleep because I'm worried about my dogs and badgers."

"How can you sleep in a cotton-padded jacket? I guarantee that you can sleep without waking up even if you set off bamboo firecrackers. You don't have to worry about the dogs and badgers, they are more obedient and smarter than you." Ma Yasha said After sitting back on the chair, he stared at Zhu Badger affectionately for a long time and then continued: "I know that you are a fairy and you have doubts about the dogs and badgers for a long time. Don't worry, I will tell you when I tell you. But now is not the time."

"Oh, then I'm going to bed." Zhu Badger closed the door, took off her cotton-padded jacket and trousers and went to bed. She usually likes to wear her cotton-padded jacket and trousers alone without wearing anything underneath.

After going to bed, Zhu Badger still cared about her dogs and badgers. The doubt in her mind became more serious but gradually became clearer. She believed that the disembowelled bitch lying on the threshold of the old house was done by Ma Yasha. Growing up between them was also Ma Yasha's fault. She must have raised a group of small dogs, large, medium and small. While Zhu Badger was going in and out to get goat's milk, she changed the eight small dogs, starting with the milk dogs and continuing to the Big Dog's purpose is to make Zhu Badger into a fairy and let her take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the old house.

Scarlet Badger would not have had such doubts originally. Like his neighbors, he believed that the eight thin dogs were really divine dogs. That night, she took eight thin dogs to meet eight pig badgers under the big camphor tree. The dogs and badgers were so affectionate that they didn't look like they had just met. Also, Zhu Badger was concerned about the safety of the bitch and secretly searched for it according to the blood stains left by the bitch on the snow. As a result, when we found the other side of Taiping Pond, there was no trace of blood. There was only a line of footprints of different shades. They were human footprints. The size of the footprints was about the same size as the shoes worn by Ma Yasha. Zhu Badger wanted to continue searching by following the footprints, but Mayaksha called her to go home.

Zhu Badger believed that the eight pig badgers were also arranged by Ma Yasha, and that her birth was carefully fabricated by Ma Yasha. The purpose was just to make Zhu Badger a fairy and shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the old house.

If Zhu Badger's hypothesis is true, then there is an unusual relationship between Ma Yaksha and Zhu Yunshan, Ma Yaksha and Mr. Zhu, and Ma Yaksha and that Yushu Linfeng. Maybe Ma Yaksha and Zhu Yunshan are not real couples, that is, Zhu Yun Shan is not Zhu Badger's biological father, and Mr. Zhu must have planned all the things that made Zhu Badger a fairy together with Ma Yaksha, otherwise Mr. Zhu would not have hinted that the bloody "horse" in Zhu Badger's zodiac sign would be a horse. Yaksha's "horse".

At first, Zhu Badger thought her dogs were magical and could lick a person's wounds and restore them to their original state. Later, it was discovered that Mayaksha did not have any conflict with the two dairy goats at that time. The so-called blood and wounds were all smeared on by Mayaksha himself with soy sauce and broth. This Zhu Badger learned this after Squinted Po fell down.
