"Be the boss!"
Zhao Li pointed to the owl with a trembling finger: "Look! It's a night owl! The night owl has appeared!"
Night cats live in the mountains and forests and rarely fly into the village. There is always a saying in the village that night cats enter the house and make the family uneasy.
Therefore, meeting a night owl at home is considered to be bad luck.
And this night owl appeared neither early nor late, but it happened to appear at this time.
The two people who were just feeling lucky just now had their hearts broken immediately!
They are really haunted by resentful spirits!
Falling down on the ground, causing bloody disasters, and in the future, there will be constant illnesses and misfortunes!
At this moment, the two people regretted extremely. They should not have cared about the old lady's little money and land, and they should not have come here.
Zhao Dahe knelt on his knees, took two steps towards the house, and shouted: "Aunt, brothers and sisters, please don't pester me. I have no grievances against you. Even if you have grievances, you should go find them." Big flowers and little flowers, what are you doing with us?"
Mrs. Zhao Li also clapped her thighs and cried, "What evil has this done? We have been doing our jobs faithfully all our lives, but in the end we were tricked by our own family!"
"No, we were tricked by you Li Zheng!" Zhao Li seemed to have suddenly found the target to vent her anger on.
She was about to hit him, but before she could even take two steps, her knees gave out and she fell forward again.
The two cried together.
There are more and more people passing by in the village to watch the fun.
Everyone was talking about the two people.
"I heard that the body that crashed into the house was haunted by a resentful spirit." Gui Hua Niang, who came early, shared the information she knew with everyone.
"Yes! Who let them covet other people's money!"
"Who says it's not the case? When Dashan died, they came over and wanted to occupy other people's fields. They didn't care about the lives of my mother-in-law."
"It's better now. Madam Zhao couldn't do anything to them when she was alive. After they die, they are no match for Madam Zhao!"
Amid the discussion, Divine Doctor Pei stood behind the crowd and squinted at Xiao Mu who was standing on the other side of the wall.
He was a great doctor, but Xiao Mu actually asked him to pretend to be a stinky Taoist priest who pretended to be a magician.
It’s really unbearable and I have to continue to endure it.
Xiao Mu was still holding pebbles in his hands. As soon as Zhao Dahe and Zhao Li made any movement, he would pop the pebbles out of his hands and restrain the two of them on the spot.
Huzi was still standing on the eaves, watching the people below.
These people were all dark in its eyes, but the two kneeling people seemed darker.
"Aunt, brothers and sisters, please spare me. I promise to bury you well and invite the best master to save you."
"Please spare us!" Zhao Li was already a little delirious and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.
Seeing that the time had come, Xiao Mu shouted "Huzi."
The owl, which had been standing motionless, immediately flapped its wings and flew down from the eaves.
No one noticed Xiao Mu's name.
They only thought that Night Owl left after understanding what Zhao Dahe said.
"There really is a resentful spirit!"
"So, you can't just enter the Zhao family's house in the future."
"Didn't Xiao Mu also walk to the door that day? Why didn't anything happen?"
"Can it be the same? The Xiao family has helped Madam Zhao a lot!
Xiao Mu’s wife even took the initiative and bought big and small flowers! This is a great kindness. Their family will definitely be fine if they enter! "
"Xu Zhengxiang's daughter-in-law is really a lucky star. She is blessed and kind-hearted. The Xiao family has found a treasure!"
"Who says it's not the case? Why can't we pick up such a treasure?"
…
Zhao Dahe and Zhao Li finally stumbled out of the Zhao family's door.
The moment they stepped out of the door, they were still terrified, fearing that they would fall flat again as soon as their feet touched the ground.
After leaving Xiao's house, the two of them ran quickly out of the village as if running for their lives.
However, an owl followed them slowly.
They were running on the road, and the owl was flying in the sky. They sat down to rest, and the owl stopped on the tree and kept cooing.
The two men were frightened.
As soon as I got home, I immediately took the money from the cabinet and went to the coffin to lay the coffin.
Then he went to a nearby small temple to find the abbot, donated ten taels of silver, and persuaded the monks in the temple to perform a ritual for Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Dahua and Xiaohua later understood the reason when they heard Doctor Pei mention it.
They looked at Ye Luoxin and then at the other members of the Xiao family, knowing deeply that they owed the Xiao family more than just ten taels of silver.
Maybe it's a favor that can never be repaid in a lifetime.
**
The next day was still a good day.
The Xiao family all stopped going to the fields and went to the mountains to pick chestnuts together.
Xiao Song pulled the cart and asked Xu Zhengxiang, Ye Luoxin and Yang Feng to sit on the cart.
The rest of the people followed the car.
Ye Luoxin specially brought Yuanbao with her when she went up the mountain. This was the first time Yuanbao was allowed to go out after arriving at Xiao's house.
The car can only be pulled to the foot of the mountain.
After tying the car to a big tree, they entered the woods together.
In autumn, there are abundant fruits in the mountain forests. In addition to chestnuts, there are also hazelnuts, mushrooms, hawthorns and wild grapes.
Ye Luoxin and Yang Feng found a big chestnut tree together.
A layer of ripe chestnuts fell under the tree, and some had been picked up by squirrels and other animals.
Each of them took a stick and hit it hard a few times, and the round chestnuts rolled out of the prickly shells.
Da Hua and Xiao Hua went into the mountains for the first time, and everything they saw was strange.
Xu Zhengxiang taught them about hazelnuts and mushrooms, and they picked up whatever they encountered and threw everything they saw into the basket.
Because other villagers have already come, there are not many fruits on the ground.
Ye Luoxin's sharp eyes saw a pine tree with many pine cones on the top.
This thing is not common.
Moreover, the pine cone is too tall for ordinary people to climb up and cannot be picked at all.
Xiao Mu watched Ye Luoxin sighing at the pine tower. Without saying a word, he put down the backpack behind him, hugged the tree with both hands, and quickly climbed up.
He picked off the pine cones one by one from the top of the tree and threw them to the ground.
Ye Luoxin squinted her eyes, put up a pergola with her hands and looked up.
In Ye Luoxin's view, Xiao Mu at this moment was like an omnipotent superman, fulfilling his wishes bit by bit.
Although these wishes are not big, they are enough to warm people's hearts.
Xu Zhengxiang only comes to the mountain a few times throughout the year.
Her favorite thing is picking mushrooms.
Mushrooms in autumn are drier than those in summer.
It is easy to dry when picked up at home.
If you don’t like to eat dried mushrooms, you can pick them with salt or fry them. The fried mushrooms will be fragrant and crispy. There is a lot of oil at home this year, so you can fry more and prepare them.
Everyone is collecting the mountain’s gifts as quickly as possible.
After Yuan Bao arrived on the mountain, he disappeared.
After picking up half the basket of chestnuts, Yang Feng suddenly remembered the tiger.
"Brothers and sisters, Yuanbao hasn't moved for a long time. Do you want to go back to your own home when you return to the mountain and don't want to come back?"
Ye Luoxin shook her head: "If it wanted to leave, it would have left long ago. It would not stay at home so well."
It was getting late, and Xiao Changhe asked everyone to put their things together and prepare to go down the mountain.
Ye Luoxin then shouted: "Yuan~Bao~."
Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for Yuan Bao.
After a while, there was a noise in the grass behind Ye Luoxin.
A tiger emerged from behind the grass with two half-dead rabbits and a pheasant in its mouth!
