Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 74 Exit

Lu Huan pulled Zhu Badger and Lan Yuliu's hands together, and Lan Yuliu laughed out loud for the first time. Her laughter was clear and joyful, as bright and pure as the moonlight, and instantly ironed everyone's anxious heart.

After laughing, Lan Yuliu said to Lu Huan: "How can General Heng Ha leave the fairy? The fairy cannot live without General Heng Ha, and General Heng Ha cannot leave the fairy. You are General Ha, and you will happily accompany the fairy. I am Hum Jiang, you have to hum the fairy a few times from time to time to keep her calm."

"Okay, okay, now that you've got it, it's hard for me, a fairy, not to fly into the sky. Everyone, that's it for tonight. Tomorrow, during the Lantern Festival, my family's banquet will continue. Also, let's have a guess at the old house that we haven't done for many years. The lantern riddle activity will restart tomorrow, there will be lots of prizes." Zhu Badger smiled louder and more happily than Lan Yuliu.

"Congratulations fairy!"

"Fairy Hexi!"

As soon as Zhu Badger lay down and fell asleep, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu appeared in front of her.

"What's the joy in being imprisoned in Naoxi? Why don't you come here to urge me to go to heaven quickly?" Zhu Badger rolled his eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu angrily.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his face: "Isn't it joyful for the fairy to successfully handle the family affairs? The fairy was so happy that the two generals were even more happy. It is worthy of congratulations!"

"That's right, the fairy has perfectly settled the family disputes that have lasted for more than 20 years while talking and laughing. Heng Ha Er will completely surrender. I must congratulate you!" Chou Yu also smiled.

"Tch, it's so gratifying that you two peed into a chamber pot today. Let me tell you, is it just a family dispute? That's a family injustice. Also, can the two of them obey like this? I'm afraid they are holding back. I'm so panicked." Zhu Badger couldn't see the flattery between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu were still smiling happily. They said to Zhu Badger one after another: "Fairy, every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite. Everyone has unspeakable suffering. It is not easy to continue reciting it. Inadvertently, it is revealed The death of your biological father and mother, the badness of your uncle, the kindness of your aunt, and the true identity of Zhu Huzhai should be enough." "Yes, fairy, this is already a good completion, you think. In front of all the neighbors, Lan Yuliu and Lu Huan are willing to say that they are your second generals. What more do you expect? Could it be possible that they would do it openly with you like Huang Qiukui? ?”

"An open spear can block a hidden arrow, but it's hard to guard against it? Don't you understand this principle? You come here to talk too much in front of me, Chou Yu, do you want to fight? And you, Zhu Yuanzhang, you said you were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. , Oh, you are not a human being now, you are a ghost. Do I have a home? Even if I do, is it still like a home?" Zhu Badger cursed Chou Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Chouyu allowed Zhu Badger to scold him. After Zhu Badger finished scolding him, he playfully asked Zhu Badger: "Fairy, you have read some books about the Ming Dynasty, right? How is Zhu Yuanzhang's home?" When I was still alive, they were already fighting openly and secretly, and they were fighting fiercely. After my death, those unscrupulous descendants showed their true colors. In order to sit on the dragon throne, they were willing to kill their fathers and brothers, but on the surface they didn't. Do you still need a family?" "Fairy, family is fake. Is there any couple in this world who is as loving as ever? A face? There are also children. If your parents are rich, they will be happy. But if your parents are poor, it is quite good to give you a good face. Go to a big city and see how many elderly people have no money. Don’t you want to take a look at him?”

"Well, what you are talking about is the cruel reality. Does that mean I don't need to worry too much about family matters?" Zhu Badger seemed to have some realization.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Fairy, think about it carefully. Of course you still have to call your aunt mother. She has sacrificed so much for you. She obviously hates Zhu Yunhe so much that it makes her teeth itch, so why does she still take him in? She knows that Zhu Huzhai is not her biological child, so why should she recognize him? On the one hand, it is of course for your safety, but more importantly, I don’t want the family to break up like this. "

"Fairy, what this old emperor said is right. It is not easy to pass down a family from generation to generation. How can we just break up? My maid ventured to speak. From now on, you just have to concentrate on protecting the old house and the affairs of this family. Let your mother handle it," Chouyu said.

Zhu Badger pondered for a while and then nodded and asked Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu: "Which one of you, Lan Yuliu or Lu Huan, is really good to me?"

"Fairy, there is no absolute sincerity and no absolute good in the world, as long as they are beneficial to you at the moment." "Yes, yes, yes, fairy, sincerity and kindness are all based on interests, just like when this old man was still sitting Who didn't mean to sincerely help him when he was on the Dragon Throne? Who didn't mean to sincerely hope for his good? But what about after his death? Not to mention other sad things, just asking you to help him to be reincarnated has already shown it. Everything." Neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Chou Yu directly answered Zhu Badger's question.

Zhu Badger felt that what Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu said made sense, and asked: "Then what should I do next?"

"It's still the same two words, 'steady'. As long as you hold yourself steady, the enemy will be confused first. Only when the enemy is confused and you take the initiative to attack can you win steadily." "That's right, that's right, Okra is not You stabilize your position first, and then she gets confused? The same goes for dealing with other people, you let them come out one by one, and then you wait until they become a mess in order to compete for the treasure of the old house. Give them a severe blow and guarantee a sure kill." Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu looked happier than ever before.

Zhu Badger originally didn't want to dream about Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu. She hoped to dream about Grandma Taizu, but she always couldn't. Fortunately, this time Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu did not have constant quarrels like the previous times. Instead, they had an unprecedented consensus of opinions and an unprecedented friendly attitude. Zhu Badger was somewhat able to accept it, so he He asked Chouyu in a calm tone: "You mean there will be more people who want to compete for the treasure of the old house?"

"Of course, what do these people mean now? Huang Qiukui? At most, he is just a third son who got lucky because of his appearance. The flat-mouthed woman? She is nothing more than a village goddess who can recite a few spells. Tian Leizi? Just a A toad that only jumps around in the ground." Chouyu sneered.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more dismissive, and then said: "And Zhu Hu, Fatty Zhu, Weasel and others don't dare to jump around now. What is it? If I were still sitting on the dragon chair, I wouldn't even bother to point out the pen. They will kill without mercy.”

"I didn't take them seriously in the first place, old man, Chouyu, please tell me where the next person who will jump out will come from?" Zhu Badger's attitude towards Zhu Yuanzhang and Chouyu has completely changed.

Chouyu and Zhu Yuanzhang answered Zhu Badger in unison: "The entire planet!"

"The entire planet has been imprisoned? Is it possible? Do foreigners know that we don't live in the village? Do they know that there is an old house?" Zhu Badger found it funny.

Chouyu couldn't wait to explain to Zhu Badger: "Fairy, times have changed. Although Lvbuo Village is still very closed-off, global communications are already accessible outside with one click." "Lvbuo Village has been open since Huang Okra opened the road. After that, it will no longer be blocked, not to mention that the world will enter the information age, and it will take seconds to learn that there is an old house here." Zhu Yuanzhang added.

Zhu Badger was stunned and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Didn't you say last time that only by letting the outside world know that there is an old house here can it really attract the attention of the higher authorities and hope to list the old house as a 'national security'? Now why are you worried that everyone will know it?" Already?"

"Fairy, didn't I say it a long time ago? Striving to be listed as a 'national security' is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can better protect the old house, but on the other hand, it will also attract more attention and attract more people. Unexpected." Zhu Yuanzhang explained.

Chouyu continued to explain: "Fairy, the old house is here as a building. It will be impossible for people to move out for a while, and the meaning of existence will be different if they move out. But the treasures in the old house are the treasures among treasures, and they can even Speaking of becoming an elf, who wouldn’t covet him among the strong men on this planet?”

"You two, please tell me clearly, where are the treasures in the old house? Which ones have become elves?" Zhu Badger does not believe that there are treasures in the old house. As for "elves", since Mr. Zhu said it last time After these four words "elf in the old house" I have been thinking about what exactly is an elf? Could it be a virtual existence similar to monsters and monsters? When I asked Mr. Zhu, he smiled and didn’t answer. I wanted to go to the study to read the books by myself, but I never had time and couldn't calm down.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and answered Zhu Badger. His smile was similar to Mr. Zhu's smile at that time. It was mysterious and mysterious, which made Zhu Badger a little disgusted, but he still listened patiently to his words: "Jing, the essence, is the most important thing in all things." The most beautiful place. Spirit, spirituality, soul. Spirit refers to the sublimation of the continuation of life. It can be a specific object or all things in general. "

Zhu Badger listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, but Chouyu didn't speak. He couldn't help but ask her: "Why don't you add something to it? Aren't you two singing and talking very well?" "Fairy, I really don't have anything to add to this. I was confused when I heard it, only the emperor could make such nonsense, hehe." Chou Yu smiled naively.

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his face, glared at Chou Yu fiercely, and said: "What nonsense? I am the mouth of the golden tongue, the mouth of the imperial edict. I tell you, if we were not in the same trench now, I would never have spared you lightly."

"Hmph, it's true that dogs can't change their ways of eating shit. I thought the two of you had put aside your old grudges and wanted to help me protect my old house wholeheartedly. I didn't expect that your true colors would show up so soon." Zhu Badger turned his head and pretended to be very angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, begging for mercy: "Fairy, calm down, fairy, calm down, it's my fault, it's my fault."

"You are still a widower in front of the fairy? Then you will be left alone in hell and become a true widower." Chouyu gloated.

Zhu Badger glared at Chouyu and asked her: "Do you think you are better than him? I tell you, you are not much better. You are always a riddle in front of me. If you treat me sincerely, tell me the old house baby Where is it?"

"Fairy, calm down. I'm too talkative. I said, the treasures of the old house are everywhere. As long as it's within the walls, the treasures of the old house are everywhere, all over the walls, and all over the house." Chouyu hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

"Bah, that's nonsense. How can there be treasures everywhere within the walls of the old house?" Zhu Badger was unusually angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly spoke for Chou Yu: "Fairy, calm down. Chou Yu is right. There are indeed treasures everywhere within the walls of the old house. It's just that you turn a blind eye and take it for granted."

"You ugly old man, you might as well just accuse me of being blind-sighted. What do you mean by turning a blind eye and taking it for granted?" Zhu Badger became even more angry.

Chouyu spoke: "Fairy, don't be angry. Listen to me. Every piece of bluestone on the ground within the walls of the old house is a treasure, and every black brick on the wall is a treasure. Every piece of stone in your house is a treasure." Every object is a treasure, especially the bed you sleep on, which is the treasure among treasures. As for the treasures inside the ancestral hall, you can see, touch and step on them every time you take a step, and these treasures pass by hundreds of people. The accumulation of years has been sublimated into the spirit, the spirit of the old house.”

"Well, I kind of understand what you said. Okay, get up quickly. I have other things I need to ask you about. I want to ask this old emperor." Zhu Badger had just let Chouyu get up when a knock on the door woke her up. She opened her eyes and saw the sun shining through the window lattice in front of the bed. She shouted angrily: "What are you knocking on? Could someone be dead?"

"It's not a dead person, it's a distinguished guest. The distinguished guest you have been waiting for day and night has arrived." Liu Ruyu responded outside the door.

"Distinguished guest? The distinguished guest I have been looking forward to day and night?" Zhu Badger quickly climbed out of bed, got out of bed and rushed to the door of the room. He found that he had nothing to wear and quickly went back to put on a cotton-padded jacket. He felt uncomfortable wearing a cotton-padded jacket, so he hurried to the I rummaged through the dark three-door cabinet and found a set of clothes I had tried on a few days ago. I thought they looked good and quickly put them on. I didn't even have time to look in the mirror before I pulled out the door.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"It's really different when my dad comes. Fairies dress up to welcome him!"

"Your dad? Is your dad here?" Zhu Badger didn't pay attention to Lan Yuliu and Liu Ruyu's words of praise for her. Lu Huan's words reminded her of "fate and fate".

"Hello, fairy!"

"Hello daddy!"

When Zhu Badger faced Lu Huan's father, he actually shouted "Hello, daddy", and suddenly his face turned red and he felt extremely shy. But for some reason, the old man in front of her gave her a fatherly feeling.

Although he is said to be an old man, he is not actually old. His hair is just white, whiter than Mr. Zhu's. Why is it whiter than Mr. Zhu’s? Because Mr. Zhu’s hair is not much anymore, and he is full of silver hair, he looks whiter than Mr. Zhu’s hair.

His face is thin but rosy, and his broad forehead is raised high, making his inverted triangular face very obvious. A pair of slender eyes under the delicate eyebrows are bright and clear. You can see through him at a glance, and he can see through you at a glance. The two ears are higher than the eyebrows, regular and full, and the skin color is bright, whiter than the face.

He is of medium build, neither fat nor thin, and wears a self-made homespun double-breasted suit. Why can Zhu Badger tell at a glance that he sewed it himself? Because the stitching is obviously not as neat as the clothes I bought, and the buttons are old-fashioned coiled buttons. It was impossible to buy old-fashioned coiled button clothes on the market at that time. The most important thing is that there are some elderly people in Lvbutuo Village wearing such clothes. Their families sewed them themselves, so Zhu Badger was particularly impressed.

He saw Zhu Badger looking at him intently and calling him "Dad". He did not show any surprise or unnaturalness, but looked at Zhu Badger up and down with great admiration.

Zhu Badger dug out a set of clothes from the old cabinet and put on a suit of clothes that he didn't know who had worn them. They were also old-fashioned double-breasted coarse cloth clothes, and the color was emerald blue. This color was made by the former dyeing houses using indigo to dye the coarse cloth darker and brighter. A kind of blue, the color is noble and pure, giving people a sense of comfort and relaxation. Zhu Badger fell in love with it as soon as he discovered it, and was thinking about wearing it when he waits for his important day.

"Fate, fate!" After Zhu Badger and the man looked at each other, they said the four words "fate, fate" at the same time, which surprised everyone present, especially Lan Yuliu, who had been staring at him since he entered the room. , including his expression after seeing Zhu Badger.

"Badger, this is my dad." "Hello dad." Lu Huan introduced his dad to Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger still shouted "Hello dad". Lu Huan looked at Zhu Badger and looked at his dad, a little confused. .

Liu Ruyu came over and pulled Zhu Badger, smiled and said to Lu Huan and Lu Huan's father: "This child hasn't woken up yet. He can't even call him 'father' or 'uncle'."

""Guangya·Shiqin": Dad means father. Wang Niansun said: "Dad means father." And 'father' does not only mean 'father', it can refer to a laudatory name for a talented and virtuous man. Regarding the honorific title given to an elderly man, the ancients even believed that heaven and earth gave rise to all things, so they called heaven 'Father'." Mr. Zhu walked closer, holding a folding fan. Lu Huan's father said: "What Mr. Xiang said is very true. In "Historical Records of Xiang Yu", 'Yafu sits facing south. Yafu is Fan Zengye.' Pei Piao's explanatory quote is like Chun saying, 'Ya, Ciye. Respect. "The second father is still the second father." This is what it means.

"What book bag did you two old masters drop? Badger Badger has more important things to do." Lu Huan was a little impatient.
