Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

When Zhu Yunhe returned to the master bedroom, he wanted to investigate the cause of death of Zhu Yunshan and his wife again and move them to the bed. Unexpectedly, two small dogs and two pig badgers surrounded his niece on the bed. After a moment of panic, he recovered and rushed over. After driving away the thin dog and pig badger, Mayasha pulled him and nuzzled at him, gesturing for him to take a good look.

Zhu Yunhe took a closer look at Babu's bed and saw one of the sows and badgers crossing her legs and standing on her little niece's head to feed her. His panic turned to surprise and he asked Ma Yasha to take care of his little niece while he carefully inspected his brother and sister-in-law again. .

The brother and sister-in-law were dressed neatly, with no scars on their bodies, but there was no trace of breath left. Zhu Yunhe was in agony.

"Why didn't you send my parents to the hospital? Didn't you call 110 to call the police?" Zhu Badger asked Zhu Yunhe.

Zhu Yunhe replied to Zhu Badger: "Badger, badger, it's nearly a hundred miles from the village to the county seat. The mountains are high and the road is far. How can we deliver it? Also, there was no 110 at that time. If you want to call the police, you can only go directly to the town station." Even if there is 110, there are no telephones in the village, and mobile phones have not yet appeared.”

"Then you just watch my parents leave? Let the murderer go free?" Zhu Badger was extremely angry.

Zhu Yunhe replied: "Badger, your parents had indeed left when your aunt and I arrived. As for why I haven't traced the murderer yet? It's because my brother left a suicide note and explained everything."

"Suicide note? Where is the suicide note? Where is the suicide note?" Zhu Badger stood up eagerly.

Zhu Yunhe said to Zhu Badger calmly: "Sit down and calm down before I can show you the suicide note your father left for you."

"Be calm? I'm not you, not her. When my father and my mother leave, you can be calm, but I can't." Zhu Badger's face was full of anger, and the anger in his eyes burned more than the bonfire beside him. Be intense.

Zhu Yunhe shook his head, sighed and said, "Oh, twenty-two years, twenty-two years, I just don't know when to let you read your father's suicide note?"

"I'll take it out and show it to her. Aren't her wings already hard?" Ma Yasha stood up and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Zhu Badger became even more angry and shouted at Ma Yasha's back: "You don't have to worry about whether my wings are strong or not. I will avenge my father and mother myself. I must kill the murderer who harmed my father and mother." , cut off his head and offer it as a memorial to my parents’ graves.”

"Badger, calm down, calm down, be sure to calm down." Zhu Yunhe comforted Zhu Badger.

"Calm down? You can be calm when facing the death of your brother and sister-in-law, but I can't be calm when facing the death of my parents. If you want to be calm, just calm down. Huh, you are a beast inferior to a pig or a dog!" Zhu Badger kicked Zhu Yunhe.

"Ouch!" With a cry of pain, Zhu Yunhe fell from the big stone. He rolled on the ground a few times, hit the cave wall and bounced back to the big stone.

"You?" Zhu Badger looked at Zhu Yunhe who rolled back to his feet, still angry, and thought, what are you pretending to be? I just kicked you like that, how could you end up like this? Just when he was about to scold him a few more words, Ma Yaksha came out from the depths of the cave holding a big wooden box. Seeing Zhu Yunhe lying on the ground, he hurriedly put the big wooden box down on the big stone and went to help Zhu Yunhe.

Zhu Badger rushed over and wanted to open the big wooden box, but Ma Yasha stopped him sternly: "Badger Badger, if you dare to touch the wooden box without permission, I will cut you off in two today!" "Breaking in two? Okay, I will fight with you even if you don't tell me. He cuts it in two." Zhu Badger said this, but the hands that were about to touch the big wooden box still retracted, and then his body involuntarily retreated to the entrance of the cave. It wasn't like she had never seen Ma Yasha angry before, and her ears hurt from Ma Yasha's loud voice, but this was the first time she had seen Ma Yasha so hoarse and furious.

"Badger, calm down, stay calm." Zhu Yunhe said softly to Zhu Badger in Ma Yasha's arms.

"You? You?" Zhu Badger glanced at Zhu Yunhe in Ma Yasha's arms. This was originally a contemptuous glance, but her whole body seemed to be stunned by an electric shock. Her mind went blank and she was speechless.

"Badger, please kneel down and salute your parents." Zhu Yunhe knelt down in front of the big wooden box with the support of Ma Yasha. He said he was kneeling but was actually sitting because he had no feet at all. Yes, there are no legs. Zhu Yunhe's pants legs were empty just now in Ma Yasha's arms, and his tall and big body only had his upper body. This is really why Zhu Badger was so stunned after taking a look!
"I want you to kneel down and worship your parents." Ma Yaksha knelt beside Zhu Yunhe, supported Zhu Yunhe, and kowtowed to the big wooden box three times.

"Ah? My parents? My parents?" Zhu Badger stood there blankly, looking at the big wooden box at Zhu Yunhe and Ma Yaksha, a little at a loss.

"Badger, the big wooden box contains the ashes of your parents, their ashes." Zhu Yunhe burst into tears after saying this. He wanted to get up and asked Zhu Bao to kneel down, but he couldn't get up without his feet.

"Take care of me, how long will it take for you Badger Eight Immortals to become the Eight Immortals?" Ma Yasha stood up and came over to pull Badger to the big wooden box.

"My parents, are they really my parents?" Zhu Badger's eyes were blank, and he stared blankly at the big wooden box in front of him, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"Fairy, these are really the ashes of your father and mother. Kneel down and pay homage to them." Chouyu appeared in front of Zhu Badger.

When Zhu Badger saw Chouyu, his nose became sour, and he cried "Wow", but still did not kneel down. While crying, he asked Chouyu: "Are my parents really dead? It's really me here. My parents’ ashes?”

"Of course it is. Fairy, please read the suicide note first if you don't believe me." Chouyu opened the big wooden box, took out a letter from it and gave it to Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger took the letter and read it, his eyes dim with tears, his heart torn to pieces.

[Badger Badger, my son, when you read this letter, it means that you have grown up and can rest in peace as a father.

Badger, badger, don’t blame your father for your decision. As a father, you can only choose one between you and your mother. As a father, you decided to choose your mother because you still have your uncle and aunt, and they will raise you up, even if they I can't raise you up. You still have badgers and dogs. Dad can't let your mother go to hell alone.

Badger, badger, dad named you Zhu Badger, because it was the badgers who saved you. Without them, neither you nor your mother would be able to survive. Those who covet the old house torture your mother every day. Your mother was able to survive until she gave birth to you only because she had a badger as a companion.

Badger, badger, don't blame anyone. Just blame your father and your mother for being born at the wrong time. You were born at the wrong time. My father believes that when you grow up, you will usher in a good era. You can be well and old. The house can be safe.

Badger, badger, my child, your father misses you, your mother misses you, you have to be good.

The irresponsible father weeps goodbye...]

"Father! Mother!"

Zhu Badger knelt down in front of the big wooden box with a suicide note in his hand and cried loudly. He cried until the sky was dark and his heart was broken.

After Zhu Badger cried for a while, Chouyu came over and handed her another letter. "This is the suicide note left by your father to me. He and your mother died on their own, so I have no way to report it to the official, let alone pursue the murderer publicly, not to mention that this murder is not an ordinary murder." Zhu Yunhe saw Zhu Badger wipe it off With tears in his eyes, he read the letter Zhu Yunshan left for him and said to Zhu Badger in a heavy tone.

After reading the letter, Zhu Badger asked Zhu Yunhe: "Uncle, did you lose your legs to avenge my parents?"

"Badger, my uncle's legs have nothing to do with your parents. Didn't you read the suicide note your father left for me? Your parents' departure is not a matter of hatred. You have to calm down. Think long-term and consider the overall situation." Zhu Yunhe comforted Zhu Badger.

"That's right, don't talk about hatred in the future. The suicide note your father left for you clearly stated it, and the suicide note your father left for your uncle also stated clearly that it was the world's trouble. I can only blame your father and mother for being born at the wrong time, and you for being born at the wrong time." Chou Yu interjected.

"When will it be your turn to say such things in front of me? Disappear from me immediately!" Zhu Badger slapped Chouyu with the letter in his hand.

Chouyu snatched the letter from Zhu Badger's hand and scolded Zhu Badger: "This is your father's suicide note to his twin brother. As a daughter, do you regard it as waste paper?"

"You?" Zhu Badger didn't expect that Chouyu would dare to scold her back.

"What are you doing? Let me tell you, because of you, I changed from a literary lady in the county to a Yaksha girl in the village. Your uncle changed from a teacher in the county to a steel worker at a construction site in the provincial capital. In the past twenty-two years, , we worked hard to raise you, we only expected you to take on the important task of protecting the old house, but we didn’t expect that you would always be just a badger immortal, a rotten winter melon that can’t grow on a tree!” Chouyu scolded Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger was completely confused and stammered as he asked Chouyu: "You, you, you are? Are you?"

"I am Ma Yasha, and I am also Chouyu." Chouyu put the letter into the big wooden box and stretched out her hand to peel off a flesh-colored mask on her face, took off her Ming Dynasty skirt, and stood in front of Zhu Badger with her original appearance restored.

Seeing Ma Yasha return to his original appearance, Zhu Badger was a little at a loss. Although she had doubts about Ma Yasha, she didn't expect that Ma Yasha was Chouyu and Chouyu was Mayasha.

Zhu Badger shook her head vigorously and blinked her eyes, but standing in front of her was Ma Yasha, the ugly jade who had just scolded her. The ugly jade cannot be said to be beautiful, but it is very beautiful. Of course, this may be because of the face. Ma Yaksha is five big and three thick, a perfect Yaksha girl. The graceful and graceful lady with ugly jade, her exquisite curves are comparable to those of the blue jade willow. How could this be the same person? Absolutely impossible.

"Badger, badger, when you put on that skirt, your waist will immediately turn into a slim waist. But let me tell you, your aunt was a hundred times more beautiful than Chou Jade back then. She gained fifty pounds a month for Li Daitao." A lot of pounds, eating fat meat until you vomit." Zhu Yunhe saw that Zhu Badger hadn't come back to his senses yet, so he explained patiently, and his tone was as gentle and relaxed as possible.

Ma Yasha stopped scolding Zhu Badger, and his tone also became calmer. After carrying Zhu Yunhe to another big rock nearby, he said to Zhu Badger: "Okay, I have cried and scolded, come and sit down and talk about the past in detail. Everything."

"Yes." Zhu Badger agreed weakly and timidly went over to sit on the big stone. Looking at the big wooden box where the big stone came from, he asked Ma Yasha quietly: "Are everything you and uncle said true? "

"Of course it's true. Is it possible that you still don't believe us?" Ma Yasha seemed a little unhappy. Zhu Badger hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, it's not that I don't believe you, I'm just thinking, thinking, since you are the one pretending to be ugly jade, then, what about Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Zhu Yuanzhang? No one can pretend to be Zhu Yuanzhang, only in your dreams." Ma Yasha's tone softened. Zhu Badger asked: "Then why did you pretend to be Chou Yu? How did you know that there was Chou Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang in my dream?"

"My child, your aunt has been thinking about it day and night to make you become an immortal as soon as possible. Do you know? From the first day we saw you, she couldn't bear to let you leave her sight, even sleeping at night I'll stay by your side." Zhu Yunhe interrupted.

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhu Badger cast a grateful glance at Ma Yaksha, with mixed feelings in his heart. After pondering for a while, he asked Ma Yaksha: "Are you still sleeping next to me every day?"

"Of course, how else would I know about the existence of Chouyu?" Ma Yasha answered simply.

"Are you pretending to be an ugly jade so that I can become an immortal soon?" Only now did Zhu Badger understand why he could sleep so soundly without covering himself with a quilt? She never gets cold or sick, Ma Yaksha takes care of it for her.

"Fairy, how I wish you could become a real fairy, so that your uncle and I can have a peaceful sleep and close our eyes." Mayasha's eyes turned red.

"Auntie, where do the gods and ghosts in this world come from? How can I become a real fairy?" Zhu Badger's throat was sore.

"Child, of course there can't be gods and ghosts in this world, but there can be extraordinary people. We hope you can become an extraordinary person, a fairy." Zhu Yunhe persuaded Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger understands the good intentions of Zhu Yunhe and Ma Yasha. They hope that she can become an extraordinary person and a so-called fairy. They just hope that she can be different, be able to truly strengthen herself and defeat all opponents.

The suicide note written by Zhu Yunshan to Zhu Yunhe came back to Zhu Badger's mind again. There were not many words, but every word was filled with tears and every sentence was dripping with blood:

[My brother Yunhe, see the word farewell forever. My brother and my sister-in-law couldn't bear the humiliation, so they had no choice but to die to find relief. I just failed to live up to the expectations of Grandma Taizu, and failed to live up to the expectations of my parents. Brother Jiuquan begged for forgiveness in person. I beg my brother for my old house, and my sister-in-law for my badger. I hope you can protect my old house and my badger at all costs. I have a thousand words to say, but I don’t have the courage to say them. I’m so ashamed! ashamed! ashamed! 】

Zhu Yunshan blamed herself, "Shame! Shame! Shame!" Zhu Badger was also filled with guilt at this time. She slowly calmed down and listened quietly to Zhu Yunhe and Mayaksha respectively talking about their parents and their past.

The twin brothers Zhu Yunshan and Zhu Yunhe have completely opposite personalities. It can be said that they are two extremes, one is introverted and the other is extroverted. The other half they are looking for is also at the two extremes. Zhu Yunhe is extroverted, but his wife is very introverted. She is a standard boudoir woman. Zhu Yunshan is introverted, but his wife is very extroverted, speaking freely and doing things without any care. It was her unbridled speech and disregard for what she did that caused special trouble in that era. Not only was she humiliated in a high-sounding way, but Zhu Yunshan was also asked to follow her and sweep the floor.

For some reason? For what purpose? After Zhu Badger's grandmother, Zhu Yunshan and Zhu Yunhe's mother gave birth to the twin brothers, Zhu Badger's great-grandfather, grandmother and grandfather only said that they gave birth to a big fat boy, his brother Zhu Yunshan. His younger brother Zhu Yunhe was secretly taken to a family in a neighboring county for foster care since he was a child. The people in the old house didn't know that he existed.

Giving birth to two children and giving one to others was not unusual in the mountain villages of the past. Due to financial constraints, having one less mouth would somewhat reduce the burden on the family. However, Zhu Yunhe was only foster care, and his surname was still Zhu. Normally, Zhu Badger's name was Zhu Yunhe. The grandparents would take Zhu Yunshan secretly to visit Zhu Yunhe every now and then on an excuse, so the two brothers never became estranged and had a deeper relationship than if they were raised together. Zhu Yunhe's greatest joy when he was a child was waiting for his parents to bring his brother over. Not only could he see his relatives, but he could also eat delicacies made by his grandmother.

The grandmother of Zhu Yunhe in Zhu Yunshan is also the grandmother of Zhu Badger. She is a well-known strange woman in an old house. She has access to the hall and the kitchen. She can play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and mix firewood, rice, oil and salt to perfection. The four seasons of the year vary with the seasons. , oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, pine nuts, chestnuts, torreya, ginkgo, walnuts, bamboo shoots and other local products from the mountains, she can turn them into delicacies in your mouth through her hands, making you unforgettable after eating them.

The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and blessings. Things are unpredictable and unpredictable. When Zhu Yunhe was thirteen years old, Zhu Badger's grandfather and his wife passed away one after another. From then on, Zhu Yunhe could not eat the delicacies he had always cherished, and even went to the funeral. Neither can go back. Seven years later, when Zhu Yunhe was 20 years old, his parents passed away one after another. Although he and his brother Zhu Yunshan were already married, the death of his parents was still a huge blow, especially to Zhu Yunshan, who was the owner of the old house. suffered an unprecedented impact.

Zhu Yunshan was originally introverted, but his wife was indifferent, so it was inevitable that he would be looked down upon and offended. In a special era, a special old house, a special group of people, Zhu Yunshan's wife was seeking death and survival. Let’s talk about the child.

Zhu Yunshan's grandmother, Zhu Badger's grandmother, tamed a pair of fine dogs and a pair of pig badgers. They regarded them as family members and passed them on from generation to generation. Zhu Yunshan's generation is also the third generation. The thin dogs and pigs and badgers accompanied Zhu Yunshan as he grew up, becoming his pets and even his protectors.

In order to protect Zhu Yunshan and his wife, six fine dogs and six pig badgers were killed, four each.
