The bald man who had been hiding behind the curtain to peek early was also very surprised: My brother Feng was hiding under the incense table and did not see him come out. When did he light the incense?
General Zhao Jiu straightened his clothes, knelt down in front of the incense table, and prayed:
"The forest of the ancestors of the Xu family is above. Disciple Zhao Jiu kowtows. Since I moved into the ancestral house, I, Zhao Jiu, have never done anything to offend the ancestral gods. Today I was also confused for a moment, so just believe me.
Brother, if you bring him here, you will make your ancestors angry.
My second brother accidentally killed his opponent in a gambling brawl elsewhere, which actually had nothing to do with the deceased children and grandchildren of the Xiao family. Since the ghosts of the ancestral children felt unhappy, they punished my second brother severely. He deserved to be unlucky, but it was just with me, Zhao
Nine has nothing to do with it, I hope the ancestors and gods will see clearly."
After praying, he kowtowed four times. Then he stood up and turned around and walked toward the inner room.
Just as he reached out to lift the door curtain, something hard suddenly hit him on the back of the head with a "pop" sound.
The general said "Ouch", and when he looked back, the thing had fallen to the ground, but it was a fire sickle. The fire sickle was placed on the incense table just now. Why did it fly by itself? The general was brave after all. He shouted: "Who is this person?"
?”
He quickly rushed to the door, pushed out the door and looked around. He saw not even a shadow in the yard.
He rushed back to the incense case and opened it violently. There was nothing under the incense case, not even a mouse.
The general thought that the fire sickle flew up and hit him.
Suddenly I felt a drop of cold water falling from my head. It was cold all the way from my neck to my heels.
The general thought: It would be better to leave quickly.
After taking two steps, he had another thought: Not to mention the ridicule from both of them, how could it be that a good courtyard was just thrown away from now on?
Looking at the sky outside, it was still early and was dragging on. Maybe nothing would happen anymore, but if that didn't work, I would wait until night before finding another place to spend the night... With this thought in mind, he lifted the wine jar in the corner and placed it on the table.
, and took out a coarse porcelain bowl, and wanted to drink two bowls of wine to strengthen his courage. When he found that the chair was not there, he remembered that it was mentioned in the yard, where a clawed eagle had sat.
He opened the door and went out to look for her, but he didn't see her in the yard.
Zhao Jiu turned around and entered the room. However, something caught his leg and he was unable to stand for a moment. He fell to the ground with a "thud". Something else fell with him. When he glanced at it, it was the broken chair.
He had just stepped through the door. Could it be that the chair was placed there blocking the door so that he could not see it?
Something is wrong today! Zhao Jiu thought to himself. Cold sweat broke out on his body.
He stood up. He didn't dare to move the chair anymore. He went straight to the table and grabbed the wine jar.
The wine jar slipped away by itself.
Zhao Jiu's hand was empty. He said "Hey", thinking that he was at a loss. He walked forward again and held it with both hands. However, the wine jar slid further away again, and this time it actually slid off the table.
.
But it didn't fall to the ground, it just hung in mid-air.
Zhao Jiu felt his head tightening and his hair stood on end. He couldn't bear it anymore. He knelt down facing the incense table with a plop. While crawling forward, he begged:
"The blessings of the gods of our ancestors, the blessings of the gods of our ancestors. I have always treated you well. You have also always disciplined your descendants not to cause trouble. Today it is really a villain who has offended our ancestors..."
Before Zhao Jiu finished speaking, he suddenly heard the faint sound of crying. Listen carefully.
The walls all around were ringing, and I didn't know where the wailing ghosts were hiding.
Zhao Jiu was so frightened that his whole body was paralyzed and he could no longer move. He could only hear the cry and the plaintive words: "You only know how to pay homage to the ghosts of the Xu family, but you don't care about the unjust death of Liu Fei. You are cruel
You killed me, why don’t you forget about it!”
The bald man hid inside and took a peek. He was horrified when he saw the wine jar hanging in the air. At this moment, he heard the ghost crying, but he could hardly help laughing.
Brother Feng was obviously pretending this by holding his throat!
Zhao Jiu was so frightened that he could still make out any sound.
When he kowtows his head, it is like pounding garlic, and chants in his mouth:
"Zhao Jiu deserves to die. Zhao Jiu deserves to die. It should all be for the beggar's sake. If Mr. Liu spares me this time, I will burn a stick of high-quality incense in memory of Mr. Liu every day. Mr. Liu, please don't blame me wrongly.
I just pretended to be a ghost to scare away the brothers. I occupied this house by myself. But I never wanted to harm anyone. I didn’t expect that others would be fine if they were frightened. You alone died, but I didn’t mean to kill you.
.”
It’s okay if I don’t say this, but as soon as I say it, the cry just turned into a scream: “According to your statement, it’s all because of my cowardice that I, Liu Fei, became an unjust ghost. How can I forgive you?”
you!"
The bald man snooped in the back room and saw Feng Zhou sneaking under the incense table again at some point. He was squatting inside holding his nose and howling. The bald man couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Feng Zhou was startled, fearing that the bald man's laughter would reveal his fault, so he immediately pointed with his hand, and the incense burner suddenly flew up and hit Zhao Jiu.
Zhao Jiu was frightened out of his wits when he heard the angry ghost Liu Fei was angry. He also heard a ghost laughing in the back room. He couldn't help but scream inwardly, I'm done for today! It seems that Liu Fei's ghost and the Xu family's ghost are all colluding together.
, determined to take my life!
He struggled to get up and watched helplessly as the incense burner on the incense table left the incense table with a "chirp" sound and flew towards him.
Zhao Jiu hid in a hurry, but the incense burner turned a corner and caught up with him, hitting him on the shoulder, and the ashes of the incense were scattered all over his fat face.
Zhao Jiu groaned and ran towards the door. He saw the broken chair jumping up and down, and ran to the door to block the way. Zhao Jiu became anxious, jumped up, and wanted to jump out. Unexpectedly, the chair also turned up automatically.
Jumping, he tripped over his legs.
Zhao Jiu fell head first outside the door, almost smashing his head into his stomach. He got up and fell again, and kept struggling to get out of the door.
The bald man in the room opened the door curtain and walked out, saying bitterly: "Liu Fei was indeed frightened to death by this big bad guy pretending to be a ghost!".
Feng Zhou: "It's good to explain it clearly, but you shouldn't laugh, it almost ruins the big thing."
The bald man suddenly thought of Feng Zhou's weird look just now, and couldn't help laughing again. Feng Zhou also laughed, and the two of them laughed and laughed for a while.
Feng Zhou said: "The weather is starting to get cold now. I think we will let the brothers under the bridge move in and sleep tonight."
The bald man said: "What if the general comes back again?"
Feng Zhou said: "Don't worry, I think he won't dare to enter this yard again within three years.
Bald Man and Feng Zhou went to the street to find the brothers living under the bridge. They found a few, but they didn't dare to live there. When they arrived under the bridge, Liu Tong was catching lice with his bare arms. Bald Man said that he should go there.
Take shelter from the cold in a haunted house.
Liu Tong rolled his eyes and said, "You want my Liu family to be wiped out. Even if one of my brothers dies, why don't you think it's enough?"
When the bald man wanted to speak again, Feng Zhou grabbed his sleeve and said to Liu Tong, "The place is reserved for you. You can come whenever you want."
Feng Zhou treated Liu Tong generously, and he didn't say anything unpleasant, he just snorted.
Bald Zi and Feng Zhou went back and asked halfway: "I want to tell them that there are no ghosts there. Liu Fei was scared to death by the general pretending to be a ghost. Why didn't you let me tell you?"
Feng Zhousuo: "You told me this, couldn't Liu Tong fight Zhao Jiu? Zhao Jiu was very strong, knew martial arts, and had three punches and two kicks. If Liu Tong lost his life in vain, then the Liu family would really be wiped out.
.You have to find an appropriate time to tell him."
But I thought in my heart: "In the battle between rice and rice, I think we have to be more cautious. If you want to choose good seedlings from these beggars, you have to observe them carefully."
Baldy didn't know Feng Zhou's true thoughts, so he just nodded: "You are still thoughtful."
