Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 7 Horse

The butcher's pouty old lady said that the bloody chickens, rats, dogs, hares and wild boars that appeared one after another in the old house came to pay homage to the fairy Zhu Badger. Those ordinary people and slangs had been replaced by the joy of having wild boar to eat. The panic filled their hearts again, and everyone looked at each other in confusion. While asking the flat-mouthed woman what "Chao Sui" was, they were all at a loss, panic and confused.

The pig-killing old woman pursed her lips, lowered her voice and said, "At the end of the year, all the little ghosts and gods worship the local immortals. You mortals should not ask too many questions, so as not to attract the ghosts and gods."

Zhu Badger was shocked when he heard this, thinking that you, a slutty woman, are going to take this opportunity to punish me and take revenge on me? If you want to punish me and take revenge on me, I will not spare you!
Zhu Badger didn't show it on his face and said with a smile: "Madam, you'd better go back and make a fire and wait to eat wild boar meat stewed with chestnuts. The wild boar meat that was killed is very fragrant."

Without waiting for the butler's pouty lady to respond, Zhu Badger's old lady Ma Yasha came out of the house carrying a big bamboo basket and picked up the hare on the ground and said loudly: "Butcher, this wild boar looks old, so let's just let it go. After the blood is peeled off, just leave the pig skin, pig head, pig belly, pig intestines and pig tail to my family, and the rest will be divided evenly."

"Well, okay, okay, okay." The pig-butcher didn't dare to neglect, and started to operate according to Ma Yasha's request, and the men present helped together.

The pig-killer's pouty-mouthed old woman bowed her head and exited the scene. When she crossed the threshold of the old house, she glanced back at Ma Yasha and Zhu Badger. She wriggled her pouty mouth several times, but in the end she didn't say anything. She choked back the words, muddy. His eyes were full of murderous intent. The moment he turned around, he took out a piece of yellow paper the size of a palm from his waist and pasted it on the door frame of the old house.

Zhu Badger saw all this, but pretended not to see it. When everyone's attention was focused on sorting wild boar meat, he quietly went over and tore off the yellow paper on the door frame, and then posted it while joking. The yellow paper was put on the lining of the pig-butcher's cotton-padded jacket.

The pig-killer blooded and skinned the wild boar. He was sweating profusely. He took off his cotton-padded jacket and threw it on the firewood pile of Zhu Badger's house. Zhu Badger posted the piece of yellow paper. The Pig Killer himself didn't know it, and no one present knew it, but one person knew it. He was standing halfway up the west mountain at the moment. From there he could see the old house, and the front yard of the old house could be seen clearly. Chu.

This man wore a bamboo hat and a raincoat, with a thick cotton strip covering his face tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes as bright as daggers.

There is a thick layer of snow on his hat and raincoat, and it is certain that he has been standing here for a long time. He looked away from the front yard of the old house and turned to the sluggish woman who was still wandering around the outer wall of the old house. The man sighed: "You will not live for your own sins. You should have no descendants!"

Amidst the sighs, the north wind picked up sharply, blowing heavy snow that covered the sky and the sun. When the donkey was not in the village, it was as dark as the third watch in the middle of the night.

"Sister, sister..." A child's voice came from the darkness, and Zhu Badger responded angrily: "Didn't I give your family an extra piece of wild boar meat? Why are you here to ask for bones?"

"Sister, Mr. Zhu asked me to invite you over."

"Dan'er, did Mr. Zhu invite me over?"

"Really, Mr. Zhu said that if you don't have time, don't force it. It's not too late to go there when you have salted shrimps. Sister, when will you have salted shrimps at your house? I haven't eaten those salted shrimps for a long time. "

"Leisure, not salty shrimp. Let's go to Mr. Zhu's place."

Zhu Badger came out of the house and reached out to grab Dan'er who was squatting at the door.

"Sister, can you see me without turning on the light?"

"Stop blabbering and go to Mr. Zhu's house quickly."

"Sister, I won't go."

"Is that person here again?"

"Sister, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Hmph, I'm still glib here, be careful as I pull your balls off."

"Sister, I don't have balls to begin with, hehe."

A burst of snow foam splashed on Zhu Badger during the laughter. Zhu Badger knew that Dan'er was jumping to find that person.

Some people say that man is Dan'er's biological father, and he removed Dan'er's balls with his own hands. Dan'er originally had eggs when she was born, but when she was brought out when she was one month old, everyone saw that her eggs were gone. As a result, Dan'er is still seventeen years old and still looks like a child.

With the lights coming from the windows of each house and the scent of wild boar wafting out, Zhu Badger quickly came to Mr. Zhu's house.

If you close your eyes or cover Zhu Badger's eyes, Zhu Badger can still find Mr. Zhu's house in the dark and any house in the old house. This is someone's unique flavor, this is the sound that someone makes, someone takes a few steps forward, someone takes a few steps to the left, someone takes a few steps to the right, Zhu Badger remembered it clearly before he was ten years old. clear and direct.

Today at noon, every household in the old house cooks wild boar meat, some braised in braise, some braised, some stir-fried, some pan-fried and pickled. Each family has its own way of eating it, the most common one is braised wild boar meat with chestnuts, which is delicious and healthy.

What Mr. Zhu stewed in the pot was chestnut-flavored wild boar, a famous dish of Donkeybu Village. When Zhu Badger entered, the whole house was already overflowing with the aroma of chestnuts and meat.

"Wild boar meat has the effects of nourishing the body, dispelling wind and detoxification, moisturizing the skin, and replenishing the five internal organs. Chestnuts have the effects of nourishing the stomach and spleen, tonifying the kidneys, strengthening the waist, replenishing qi and blood, nourishing the face, and anti-aging. They can be eaten together." , it is really a good product for replenishing deficiency, nourishing the body, and beautifying the skin." Mr. Zhu shook his head with a folding fan and seemed to have a mouthful of chestnut-flavored wild boar meat.

Zhu Badger was surprised that it had just been a short time since she asked Dan'er to deliver wild boar meat to Mr. Zhu, so how could Mr. Zhu be able to eat it so soon?

Mr. Zhu saw Zhu Badger's doubts and said with a smile: "I have predicted that black pigs will come to my door today. I have prepared three kilograms of chestnuts, some onions, ginger, garlic, peppers and star anise, and waited for the egg to bring the meat for roasting."

"Sir, he has foresight and predicts events like a god. The little girl admires him, admires him." Zhu Badger complimented.

Mr. Zhu put away the folding fan, waved to Badger Zhu, and said seriously: "It is you who I admire. Come and sit down and listen to me explain in detail the recent series of strange murders."

"As expected, Mr. Zhu is smart. As expected, the demolition notice was posted by Mr. Zhu. As expected, this series of murders was committed by Mr. Zhu." Zhu Badger sat down and got straight to the point.

Mr. Zhu shook his head and said: "No, no, what I want to elaborate on is the mystery hidden in this notice and the series of murders."

"You're not trying to trick me, are you? If so, I want the wild boar meat back." Zhu Badger laughed.

Mr. Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "You are the Nine Immortals. How dare I disrespect you? Do you know that the recent series of murders in the old house are all related to that notice? Are they related to you?"

"Is it related to the notice? Is it related to me? Don't blame others. The notice was clearly written by you, and it is undoubtedly your handwriting." Zhu Badger said directly.

"No, no, no, the notice was definitely not written by the old man. Someone imitated the old man's writing style in order to make him unkind and unjust." Mr. Zhu kept shaking the folding fan in his hand.

"Someone imitated your writing style? Is it possible?" Zhu Badger was doubtful.

"Did you know that the murder in the old house is just the beginning, and it will happen one after another. At least each of the twelve zodiac signs will see blood. You must be prepared. If something goes wrong, the old house will no longer exist." Mr. Zhu looked solemn.

"Don't scare me. How can the old house cease to exist? Also, what does it have to do with the zodiac?" Zhu Badger disagreed.

Mr. Zhu approached Zhu Badger and lowered his voice: "After that notice was posted, were the bloody chickens, rats, dogs, sheep, rabbits, and pigs?"

Zhu Badger thought for a moment and responded: "Indeed, but there was no blood on the sheep. I secretly brought it back into the house."

"Go back and take a closer look. Did the two dairy goats see blood? Also, the horses, cows, monkeys, snakes, tigers, and dragons that will see blood next will be the horses, cows, monkeys, snakes, tigers, and dragons." Mr. Zhu regained his unpredictable look.

Zhu Badger found it funny and said playfully: "Then I, the Nine Immortals, welcome all comers, but I have never seen real horses, monkeys, tigers, and dragons."

"True is also false, and sometimes false is true. There is nothing but nothing. Do you know that this Ma, who is about to see blood, gets along with you day and night every day. Without her protection, you would have been cursed to death." Mr. Zhu stood up and opened the door after saying this. Outside the window, it is still dark and snowing, it is three quarters of noon.
