Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around and took two or three steps, he saw a black shadow fly past him with a whooshing sound, and landed on the ground, smashing into pieces.
Old man Niu was shocked when he saw this. He looked closely under the moonlight and saw that it was actually a tile.
He was filled with anger, and was about to turn around and scold him. The next moment, there was a constant whizzing sound in his ears, and several broken bricks and tiles flew out of the courtyard, almost hitting his head.
Old man Niu was frightened and fled back to the room in a panic. Fortunately, he ran fast enough so he didn't get hit.
What was annoying was that not only did the people in the backyard not stop, they even mocked him for being a coward.
Old Man Niu was angry and scared in his room, and did not dare to go out. He sat beside his wife all night, feeling dizzy.
Old man Niu had a good night's sleep during the next day. When he woke up in the afternoon, he thought alone. Why was Hu Yan's family so unreasonable? When Hu Yan came back from a long trip, he had to ask for an explanation from him. It was really not possible. It would take half a year.
All the rent was refunded and he never rented a house again.
That night, the backyard was as noisy as the previous two days.
Old Man Niu learned the lesson this time. He quietly got up and tiptoed to the backyard, built a ladder along the wall, stood on the top of the wall and looked into the courtyard.
He didn't look at it, but when he looked at it, he was so shocked that he almost screamed out.
I saw more than a dozen monsters in colorful clothes playing in the backyard. Not only were these monsters possessed by fur and sharp teeth, but they also had a big tail trailing behind them, like foxes.
Seeing this situation, Old Man Niu suddenly realized that the Hu Yan family were not human beings but vixens.
He fearfully climbed down from the wall and returned to the house, thinking over and over in his mind about how to deal with it. When the rooster crowed for the first time, he finally made up his mind to get rid of these monsters early to avoid endless troubles.
Early the next morning, he went out to find several famous local hunters, told them what was going on at home, and promised them a large sum of money to come and help eliminate the demons.
Upon hearing this, several hunters agreed and followed him home.
At night, they would secretly lurk on the wall, and when the monsters came out again, they would fire their earthen guns.
Suddenly the fire was blazing and the smoke was filling the air. These foxes were caught off guard and were beaten to death with scorched flesh and fractures in minutes.
Old man Niu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the foxes were dead. He thanked the hunter for sending them away, then looked back at the corpses on the ground in the backyard. He thought to himself that he would not stop doing anything, so he simply skinned and removed the flesh from the corpses of these foxes.
, and asked his wife to marinate the meat and eat it slowly. He also made a fortune by selling the fur to a fur trader. From then on, they were able to sleep peacefully every night.
More than half a month later, Hu Yan came back from out of town. When he saw the Niu family, he said with anger on his face: "I have no enmity with your family. Why did you kill my wife, children, and children without leaving any of them behind?"
"
Old Man Niu pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "It is true that I can eliminate demons and obstacles, but I don't know who did such evil things as murdering his wife and children."
Hu Yan was furious, and his eyes were like spitting fire. He stared at Old Man Niu with murderous intent, and said with a distorted expression: "The hatred of destroying the family is irreconcilable, and I will pay it back to you sooner or later."
Old Man Niu didn't care about it and just pretended that it never happened.
On the other hand, her wife was uneasy, fearing when Hu Yan would come back for revenge. She was worried for half a year, but nothing unusual happened, so she gradually felt relieved.
In the blink of an eye, the first lunar month was approaching, and their only son came home from out of town for no apparent reason. Before he could reach the door, he rushed in wearing mourning clothes and wailing loudly.
The old couple of the Niu family were surprised when they saw their son suddenly come back and burst into tears. They hurriedly asked their son why he was like this and who he was wearing mourning clothes for.
The son said: "A few days ago, an old man with a white beard who called himself Hu came to me and said that my elder brother died suddenly at home. He was entrusted by someone to tell me to go home and deal with the funeral arrangements."
After hearing the cause and effect, Old Man Niu understood that this must be Hu Yan's doing, so he smiled and said to his son: "The demon fox deliberately deceived you, delayed your business, and made you lose money."
"But although it deceived you back, it didn't know that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. You came back just in time, and our family is reunited at home. This is a happy family affair."
"It thinks it has taken revenge by causing you to lose money, but I think it has done a good thing."
After saying that, Old Man Niu laughed heartily and immediately told his son everything that happened at home.
The son only understood after hearing this, so he stayed at home to celebrate the New Year with his parents.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year, Old Man Niu was invited to drink by his neighbor. He drank until midnight and was very drunk before he came back.
At this time, his wife and son had already fallen asleep. Old Man Niu hung the lantern on the bed tent in a daze, and then fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, a raging fire suddenly broke out in the Niu family in the middle of the night. At this time, the family of three was sleeping soundly. When they were awakened by the fire, it was too late to escape. As a result, they were all burned alive in the fire, and the Niu family became extinct.
Cause and effect cycle, retribution is unpleasant.
Whether it is the Fan family or the Niu family, in my opinion, they all planted it themselves.
Then, as Fan Yang said, you should bear the consequences yourself.
