When Grandma Mai saw help coming, she responded to Shopkeeper Liu with a smile.
"It's nothing like that."
"Grandma, I didn't expect to meet my old brother in the middle of the night."
"Why did you go out by yourself again and leave Mina alone?"
"Hey, it's a long story." Shopkeeper Liu said as he took out a pair of paper tigers from the coarse cloth bag.
He cut his fingers with big scissors, squeezed out a little sticky black blood, and applied it to the paper tiger's eyes.
"Piece paper and dot the eyes, the evil spirit is on the move! Come out!"
When the cold wind passed by, the paper tiger expanded rapidly like an inflated balloon. In the blink of an eye, it became alive, roaring and pounced on the fat monk Faqing.
In the process, he opened his mouth wide and spat out dozens of ghosts.
The demons were like madmen, clawing and biting around Faqing.
Note: A ghost refers to a ghost that was eaten by a tiger and became its servant.
He has a despicable character and often tempts people to be eaten by tigers.
This is the origin of "acting for the tiger".
It comes from stories recorded in "Xianjian Notes" of the Ming Dynasty and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" of the Qing Dynasty.
Grandma Mai has already made the fat monk Faqing confused. Now coupled with the "mysterious" shopkeeper Liu, it is naturally even more difficult to deal with.
As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.
In such a critical situation, the Dacheng Maitreya leader immediately decided to retreat.
I saw him taking off his red cassock, throwing it in the air, and shouting: "Lawlessness!"
Under the cassock's shroud, everyone's spells immediately became ineffective.
Although this time was extremely short, Fa Qing also relied on a split second to escape dozens of meters away.
The spell is temporarily ineffective, but it does not mean that the bronze corpse cannot be used.
Zhang Chao had been beaten for a long time, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to beat the drowned dog.
He shook the soul-inducing bell in his hand rapidly, and then pointed at the fat monk Faqing.
"Beidou dies and South Dou lives. By the Jade Emperor's order, I send you to get up and go!"
"Master Bronze Corpse, help me take off the fat monk's clothes!"
Zhang Chao was used to fighting with his peers, and he never thought about beating his opponent to death.
When little boys fight, the biggest insult is to strip each other naked.
Faqing would be in trouble once he received this order: the five bronze corpses would catch up and pull him.
The fat monk was so anxious to escape that he didn't care about many things:
Anyway, no matter what you pull, I will just "escape" with one move.
After a brief struggle, he managed to escape. But there were rags of clothes and rotten shoe soles left on the floor.
The most eye-catching thing is the flesh and blood lotus composed of countless living corpses...
Seeing this scene, Grandma Mai and Shopkeeper Liu were stunned.
The six female ghosts in red were even shy and covered their faces with their sleeves.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at Zhang Chao and laughed, with a playful look in his eyes.
Grandma Mai's expression was much more complicated.
"This unlucky boy, we fight with each other. Why are you taking off the monk's pants..."
Zhang Chao didn't care about their words, but ran up to Grandma Mai holding a flesh and blood lotus that was bigger than himself.
"Grandma, thank you for saving my mother and me!"
"Did you honor the little black boy that Boss Chen snatched from the fat monk a few days ago? This one will also honor you!"
Grandma Mai was stunned when she heard this: "What the hell? The ghost country my second grandson gave me was snatched from the fat monk just now?"
Zhang Chao nodded repeatedly with a pleading look on his face, hoping that Grandma Mai would also accept his "trophy".
Grandma Mai was stunned for a while, and then burst into hearty laughter.
"Jiejie, Jiejie, the fat monk is really unlucky when he meets you two tiger kids!"
After laughing for a while, Grandma Mai gently stroked Zhang Chao's head.
"Good boy, this thing is useless to me, so you should keep it for yourself."
"You are the one who drives away corpses. With this, you can pick up corpses anytime and anywhere."
Everyone chatted for a while, and Grandma Mai seriously told Zhang Chao that he must study hard so that he, Hua Jiunan and Chen Daji could "go to Beijing to take the exam" together with Hua Jiunan and Chen Daji.
The three of them were together, and there was someone to look after them on the way...
Zhang Chao nodded repeatedly, thanked Grandma Mai and Shopkeeper Liu again for their life-saving grace, and then allowed the bronze corpse to carry the living corpse Lotus and take his mother straight to his deaf mother-in-law's house.
Watching the miserable couple go away, Grandma Mai asked shopkeeper Liu.
"Old brother, what are you doing out here in the wilderness so late?"
"Don't tell me that you came to grandma to drink tea and chat with me."
Shopkeeper Liu looked heavy when he heard this.
"Someone came to invite me before daytime, saying that there was unrest in Yizhuang over Mawanggou."
"I went to check it out. Didn't I just come back?"
Note: In the Northland in the 1990s, cremation was already implemented.
However, due to traffic, weather and other problems, many times the body cannot be delivered to the crematorium in the city in time, so it has to be temporarily stored in the charity village.
At the same time, there are many coffins left behind from the past.
