Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 86 Guest

Zhu Badger happily returned to the bed to change her clothes, but when she saw the clothes Liu Ruyu had prepared for her, she was dumbfounded.

The coat Liu Ruyu prepared for Zhu Badger was placed at the bottom, with a bunch of colorful small items on top. Zhu Badger hated wearing these things the most.

When she was working in the provincial capital and living with Lu Huan, Zhu Badger saw that Lu Huan had to wear a lot of small clothes like this when she got up every day, while she simply put on an undershirt and then a coat, so she asked Lu Huan Huan, are you tired of wearing those wispy things every day? Lu Huan asked her: "Isn't this what women have to wear?"

It seems that I am not a woman, but Zhu Badger is very happy because she just likes to be different. What was different was that when she returned to Lvbubu Village and her old house, she didn't even wear a sweatshirt underneath. She just put on a cotton jacket and cotton trousers and went out to be her "Eight Badger Immortals" in the middle of winter. It's the same in summer. You wear a loose coarse shirt on your upper body and a pair of wide coarse trousers underneath. The mountain breeze blows through, making you feel as cool as you want.

Looking at the pile of colorful clothes in front of him, Zhu Badger didn't even think about moving. However, Ma Yasha said that the guests coming today were very important and related to whether the old house could be classified as a "national security", so he hid the clothes on it. Put those small clothes under the quilt, take the coat and put them on in a vacuum.

Put it on securely, this coat looks good, but why is it so uncomfortable to wear? Zhu Badger had no choice but to take off his new coat and put on an undershirt inside, which was slightly better.

Ma Yaksha, Ma Yaksha, you are really a Yaksha, where did you get these colorful clothes? Seeing as you don’t usually go to town, let alone the city, why did you buy me these colorful clothes? Could it be that they were bought from a large truck driven by Okra? Thinking of this, Zhu Badger felt that the new clothes were even more uncomfortable to wear. She wanted to take it off, but Ma Yasha called her from outside the room to get out quickly, so she had to leave her room first.

Seeing Ma Yaksha waiting for her at the door holding a big jar, Zhu Badger couldn't help but choke her: "Ma Yaksha, didn't you say that the guests who came today are very important? Why don't you wear new clothes?"

"What does it have to do with me? You are the heroine of the old house. Hey, what did you call me just now?" Ma Yasha turned around and asked Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger smiled and replied: "Ma Yaksha, I think Ma Yaksha is more friendly when called. Of course, I will still call you mother in front of outsiders. I still know this etiquette, hehe."

"Yes, Ma Yaksha is still kind. I also hope that I am still Ma Yaksha, the one who doesn't care and has no scruples." Ma Yaksha sighed with emotion. Zhu Badger advised: "Didn't you say that bygones are bygones? Don't worry, I will definitely protect the old house. When the old house becomes a 'national security', I will be a little woman again with you."

"Okay, okay, okay, it's rare for you to say something like this. I hope I can wait until that day." Ma Yasha's eyes were red, and Zhu Badger echoed her: "Don't let others see the clues. Ma Yasha is not sentimental. Sister Lin.”

"Open the door quickly." Mayaksha put the can on the ground and turned his head to wipe his tears. After Zhu Badger opened the door, she was about to pick up the big can. Mayasha stopped her quickly and said, "Don't move around in your new clothes. If they get dirty, you won't be able to see the guests."

"What kind of guest are they? How did you know that a guest was coming? How does this guest affect whether the old house can be listed as a 'national security'?" Zhu Badger kept asking after Ma Yasha.

Ma Yasha warned Zhu Badger in a low voice: "Be careful, walls have ears." "We are on the road now, where is the wall?" As soon as Zhu Badger finished speaking, the squinting figure flashed past the kitchen window of his house.

Zhu Badger yelled: "Sister, you go forward boldly, don't look back!" "Ping ping ping ping pong" the sound of bottles and cans colliding with each other drowned out Zhu Badger's roar, and Zhu Badger laughed.

Ma Yasha scolded: "You want her to be beaten by Zhu Hu again." "She deserves it. Who made her so mean? But the sick cat probably won't come back in a year and a half." Zhu Badger responded with a smile.

Ma Yaksha asked: "What? Why can't he come back in a year and a half?" "Didn't he go out to work in the county? When did you see him coming back in a year and a half?" Zhu Badger asked Ma Yaksha in return.

Ma Yaksha looked around and saw no one, so he lowered his voice and said to Zhu Badger: "At this moment, he might have gone to help her get something with her key, and he might be back soon." "Yes." "Why did I forget this? She asked Tian Xiaolei to hand over a key to the sick cat." Zhu Badger stopped.

"Hurry up, just wait and see what happens." Ma Yasha urged Zhu Badger, and Zhu Badger followed Ma Yasha and asked in a low voice as he walked: "Do you think she will let Sick Cat help her go back and get a new outfit? "

"There's no need to guess. That big box hasn't been opened yet? I don't know what's inside, so is there any use in guessing?" Ma Yasha quickened his pace, and Zhu Badger followed closely, but he couldn't help but continue to ask: "Didn't Rubeus say that you can open that big box in a few days? Won't you know everything after you open it?" "So I tell you not to make blind guesses. It's more important to go to the big camphor tree to greet the guests after breakfast." Ma Yasha finished. These words have already reached the door of Zhu Shanzi's house.

When he arrived at the door of Zhu Shanzi's house, Zhu Badger stopped talking and did not immediately follow Ma Yaksha into Zhu Shanzi's house. Instead, he stood at the door and looked around, and finally his eyes rested on the door of the ancestral hall.

The door of the ancestral hall was closed and locked, but Zhu Badger could tell that someone had just entered and exited.

There is frost today, thick frost. The thick frost in the mountains is thicker than the light snow in the plains. The layer of thick frost on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall has obviously melted away. It cannot be that it melted automatically, but that someone stepped on it and swept it with a broom for fear of being discovered.

Come on, isn't it unnecessary to take off your pants and fart? If you don't sweep with a broom, frost will form again, because judging from the time of sweeping, it should be before dawn. According to today's weather, there should be a new layer of frost on top of the old frost. But if you sweep it with a broom, knots will not form on the bare stone floor so easily.

Humph, only you, Tian Leizi, can do this kind of thing where there is no three hundred taels of silver here. Zhu Fanzi is very cunning in this regard. He will definitely make a plan before taking action.

Well, I feel relieved that you are hiding in the ancestral hall. Then I will let you, a mute, eat Coptis chinensis, and you will not be able to express your suffering, hehe.

"Fairy, why are you laughing alone?" Zhu Fan came out of the house with a folding fan and followed Zhu Badger's gaze towards the door of the ancestral hall.

Zhu Badger did not look away, but smiled and praised Zhu Fan in the tone of a master: "Very good, very good. I will get up before dawn to clean the ancestral hall. I have to give you a few more good words in front of Grandma Taizu."

"Ah? Oh oh oh, I'll thank the fairy then." Zhu Fanzi was stunned for a moment and immediately regained his composure, but the folding fan shook out of rhythm.

Zhu Badger withdrew his gaze and said seriously: "No thanks, as long as you insist on doing this every day."

"Please rest assured, Fairy, I will definitely insist." Zhu Fanzi's folding fan shook even more chaotically.

Zhu Badger turned around and walked into Zhu Shanzi's home. After walking a few steps, he turned around and saw Zhu Shanzi still standing there, and said, "I have to come here to check every day."

"Ah? Check? Oh, okay, okay, check, check." Zhu Fan's folding fan fell to the ground.

Zhu Badger ignored Zhu Fan and walked into the house.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Lu Huan took Zhu Badger's hands and looked up and down.

Today Zhu Badger is wearing a red plaid coat, a pair of black woolen wide-leg pants, and a pair of red mid-heeled leather boots.

"My sister is beautiful." Dan'er jumped over and lifted up Zhu Badger's coat. Zhu Badger hurriedly covered his coat, laughed and scolded Dan'er and said: "You have a honey pot on your mouth, why are your hands like a latrine?"

"Sister, I just washed my face and hands when I got up. They are clean." Dan'er spread his hands to show Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger patted Dan'er's hand and pulled him to the dining table, gave him an egg pancake, whispered in his ear, and Dan'er took the egg pancake and ran out of the house happily.

"Why did you ask him to cause trouble again?" Mayaksha asked Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger replied: "He doesn't have eggs, so why bother?" "You?" Mayasha was speechless. Zhu Badger said: "Because there are no eggs, I asked him to smash them. Maybe he can bring back the two eggs."

"Badger, why do you want to bring back two? Why not one or three or four? The more the merrier, right?" Lu Huan asked Zhu Badger pretending to be confused while eating the egg pancake. Zhu Badger hit Lu Huan with the chopsticks in his hand and cursed: "Are you going to piss me off to death?"

"I'm so angry that you don't dare. It was my father who taught me from a young age that if you don't understand, just ask. If you don't feel ashamed to ask, ask clearly, hehe." Lu Huan dodged Zhu Badger's chopsticks and smiled at Zhu Badger.

Ruburt said: "You little girls, please don't involve me in your fights. I, an old man, can't stand your troubles." "Oh, you consider yourself an old man? Didn't you say last night that young men can't compare to you?" "Uncle Liu teased Lu Bo.

"Eat quickly, and when you're done, go and greet the guests under the big camphor tree." Ma Yasha interrupted everyone's fun.

Go to greet guests under the big camphor tree? Is this guest really that important? Zhu Badger was so excited that after eating two egg pancakes, he left the dining table and went out of the house. When he walked to the door, he saw that Zhu Fan was still standing there without moving, so he went over and asked him, "What? From now on, I will take my morning bath in front of my house instead." ?”

"Impossible, how is it possible? I just came back from Dongshan. I came back from Dongshan." Zhu Fanzi has not yet picked up the folding fan that fell on the ground.

Zhu Badger pretended not to see the fan on the ground, stepped on it and asked Zhu Fan, "What's wrong with you?" "What's wrong with me?" Zhu Fan's eyes fell on the fan that Zhu Badger stepped on. Moved away quickly.

"There must be something wrong. You don't care. Why am I so unaccustomed to it? I'm no longer commonly known as 'I'. Are you anxious because you can't wait for the squinty woman's goat milk?" Zhu Badger kicked his foot and kicked the fan. Under the steps of the ancestral hall.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

A woman's cry came from inside the ancestral hall. The cry was sad, sad and creepy. Fortunately, it was during the day. If it were at night, a person would probably be frightened to the point of falling down after hearing this.

Zhu Fanzi didn't care about being polite, picked up his robe and hurried to the ancestral hall.

Zhu Badger looked at Zhu Fanzi's back and shouted: "Sister, please go forward boldly, don't look back!"

"Bah!" Zhu Fanzi stepped on his own fan and swayed, almost falling, but he was so good at it that he quickly opened his arms, balanced his body, put away his feet and jumped up the steps.

"Fall! Fall! Fall!" Zhu Badger shouted rhythmically. Following the shout, Zhu Fanzi's feet landed on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall and then his tall body fell to the entrance of the ancestral hall with a "plop".

Zhu Shanzi never expected that he would fall at the entrance of the ancestral hall. After he jumped up, his feet clearly landed firmly on the steps. Why didn't he stop and fall?
Zhu Badger was happy in his heart and cursed secretly: You are an old and disrespectful, duplicitous, riddler and hermaphrodite, I will let you spend the rest of your life lying in bed.

At this time, the cross-eyed woman happened to be carrying a can of goat's milk. Seeing Zhu Fanzi fall down at the door of the ancestral hall, she hurried over and stretched out her hands to help each other. She forgot that she was carrying a can of goat's milk in her arms. As a result, the hot goat's milk poured down. Usually it is poured all over Zhu Fanzi's head.

Zhu Fanzi howled and Cross Eyed Woman cried sadly, which alarmed everyone in the old house and ran over to watch the fun.

When Tian Laizi passed in front of Zhu Badger, Zhu Badger whispered softly: "You did a good thing." "What did you say?" Tian Laizi stopped and stared at Zhu Badger fiercely. Zhu Badger did not panic, and said word by word with a smile: "Have you forgotten what you did before dawn?" "What did I do? Please explain it clearly to me." Tian Lezi showed his fierce look. Zhu Badger was still laughing and said calmly: "If you hadn't swept away the frost on the steps, and the frost turned into ice scum, would Zhu Fan have slipped?" "I..." Tian Leizi immediately let out half of his blood. gas. Zhu Badger smiled and asked, "Do you want me to tell everyone the truth?" "You..." Tian Laizi was completely discouraged. Zhu Badger smiled even more happily and said softly to Tian Leizi: "There was a woman crying inside just now. Is she your sister Yuliu?" "This..." Tian Leizi took several steps back.

"Dan'er, let's go. We're going to greet the distinguished guests under the big camphor tree." Zhu Badger ignored Tian Lezi and walked to the back door of the old house.

As soon as he walked out of the back door of the old house, Dan'er popped out from the corner, came over and took Zhu Badger's hand, raised his little face and asked Zhu Badger: "Sister, can I cry okay?"

"Yes, absolutely yes, I will cry better than last night." Zhu Badger touched Dan'er's little head with his other hand.

Dan'er said proudly: "If you don't advance, you will retreat. That's what he said."

"Well, if we don't advance, we will retreat. We must move forward bravely to welcome his return." Zhu Badger took Dan'er's hand and strode towards the big camphor tree.

There was no one under the big camphor tree. The demolition notice on the old trunk was still there, which looked particularly dazzling in the morning light.

Zhu Badger did not go directly to the big camphor tree, but first walked to a willow tree by the Taiping Pond, grabbed a willow branch and said to Dan'er: "The willow tree has sprouted."

"Sister, you can make us kites then." Dan'er looked very happy.

Zhu Badger broke off a willow branch, bent it into a small circle, put it on Dan'er's head, and said to him: "Next Monday we will go to class under the willow tree and recite Mr. Zhu's article "Spring"."

"Sister, I can recite. Looking forward to, looking forward to, the east wind is coming, the footsteps of spring are near." As Dan'er recited, Zhu Badger saw three figures walking slowly from a distance.

Distinguished guest? Is the distinguished guest coming?
Zhu Badger hurriedly ran to the big camphor tree. After a while, Uncle Liu, Lu Bo, Mayaksha and Lu Huan ran under the big camphor tree. All the villagers who had not gone out to work also ran under the big camphor tree.

Looking forward, looking forward, Zhu Badger's mood at this moment was the same as that of Mr. Zhu's article recited by Dan'er, eagerly looking forward to the person whom Ma Yasha called a distinguished guest.

But as the three figures slowly approached the big camphor tree, Zhu Badger's eager mood gradually dropped until it completely turned into disappointment.

The two middle-aged men walking in front, Zhu Badger, knew each other and were from the town. They usually came to the village on behalf of the town, but very few came. Throughout the year, they only came to the village three times at the beginning, middle and end of the year.

The man walking behind looked young, probably in his thirties, with an average appearance, even a little ugly, because his forehead was particularly big, bigger than Uncle Liu and Lu Bo's, which of course was Because his face was too thin, so thin that only a piece of skin remained. The nose is quite straight, and there is a pair of glasses on the straight bridge of the nose. The glasses are round and big, and the lenses are as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. Looking carefully at them makes you dizzy. Not to mention the old style of his glasses, one of the frames was still wrapped with white tape.

Zhu Badger really couldn't figure out that this person would be a distinguished guest? Not only was he ugly in appearance, he was even more sloppy in what he wore. A so-called suit was as wrinkled as if it had been found in a trash can, and a sweater underneath had several threads exposed. One pair of trousers had one leg high and one leg low. The sock underneath the high leg was torn, and the pair of military canvas shoes were covered in mud.

The funny thing is that the color of his suit is khaki, but the sweater underneath is red, and the trousers are blue jeans, which have been washed white, and the shoes are khaki, and there is no matching color.

Huh, Tian Da Lei, Tian Er Lei and Tian Xiao Lei are all dressed more neatly than him. No matter how sloppy I am, I, the Badger Immortal, am still cleaner and neater than him.

He is obviously a beggar, so why is he an honored guest?
