But it was said that Ah Q had been beaten so hard by Zhao Daxiucai that his head and body were covered with bruises. He went back to Tugu Temple to sleep dejectedly. He woke up in pain in the middle of the night and was shocked to find that there was a ghost in his head!
This ghost has traveled across the universe for five thousand years, omniscient and omniscient, full of viciousness, full of tricks, disrespectful of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and not afraid of the government and emperor. He is a lawless and civilized ghost of later generations.
"Yeah! Aren't you afraid that such a thing will go to Abi Hell?"
Ah Q thought to himself that tomorrow he would ask Zhai Gong to perform a ritual and drive him away. This was obviously a source of trouble.
However……
All his copper coins were used as compensation, and together with his only bedding and clothes, except for the cow-nosed shorts he was wearing, he was completely penniless.
What's even worse is that Mr. Zhao has appointed his competitor Xiao D to take his place as a hired worker, and he will no longer be able to earn a single copper in Weichuang.
Who told him to seek death and dare to molest Wu Ma, the only female worker in the Zhao family!
His whole head was in pain, and he could not move due to the burning wounds all over his body. Ah Q groaned: "Hiss—Mama's Zhao Xiucai fought with me for a woman's livestock, and actually killed him... Damn Mr. Zhao, you I can sleep with Wu Ma, but I can’t? One day, I will beat you with a steel whip, clang dong dong dong clang..."
I digress.
Ah Q himself was shocked. It was all the fault of ghosts. He dared to scold Mr. Zhao and "held a steel whip in his hand"... This was incredible!
But he felt inexplicably excited in his heart. For the first time, he felt that Mr. Zhao was not so scary, including Mr. Qian, Zhao Xiucai, fake foreigners, land security guards...
Ah Q felt relieved, and the pain in his body was relieved a lot. However, the hunger in his belly rose.
He had eaten a bowl of plain noodles at the entrance of the village yesterday morning, and then worked with Wu Ma in the backyard of Zhao's house in the morning, and then... Then he was beaten, scolded, tied up, and made to pay compensation. It was all over, but he was beaten by Zhao who had just returned from the city. The scholar was beaten all over his head and face, until he was beaten to death... In short, he has been hungry from noon yesterday until now.
Ah Q struggled and drank a gourd of water from the water tank. It didn't work, so he went to the vegetable field behind and found a bitter melon. He took two bites of it and it felt so bitter and numb!
In the past, Ah Q would have gone to Guzi's Nunnery to find a carrot to satisfy his hunger. But tonight, Ah Q had a living ghost living in his mind.
Then Ah Q got up and went straight out to the north end of the village.
Zhao's Mansion is located in the north of the village, with a large courtyard of green brick houses.
It was quiet at night and few dogs were barking. Ah Q is a familiar person in the village.
Ah Q was familiar with the roads and found the backyard of Zhao's house.
The back door is closed and the wall is high.
Ah Q shrank his shoulders, as if the majestic Mr. Zhao was squatting on the wall looking at him.
Ah Q fell down and almost ran away.
However, suddenly he became resolute again. He used a lot of strength, took a few steps back, then accelerated, rushed forward, took a few flying steps, and jumped onto the wall!
The future ghost in his mind was a scout. After retiring from the army, he worked as a police auxiliary, a bodyguard, and a nightclub thug. Finally, he died in a scuffle. In any case, he did not lose his kung fu, and his practical experience combined with Ah Q's It is not difficult to climb over a wall if a hard worker has brute force.
Zhao's old dog whined twice, saw it was Ah Q, and walked away, lying down under the eaves and continuing to take a nap.
Ah Q went straight to the kitchen.
The moonlight is like water, and the chopping boards, cupboards, bamboo vegetable baskets, pottery jugs, oil barrels, and salt bottles in the kitchen are clearly visible.
Ah Q picked up a bench and placed it on the fire pit in front of the stove. The fire pit was filled with charcoal and ashes. On top of it was a dark iron hook. A copper kettle hung on the hook. This was used to boil water. The hook hung on the stove. On the beam, the beam was smoked black, and the smoked bacon was hanging on the beam. The bacon that had been smoked for more than half a year looked like black charcoal heads.
Ah Q stood up on the stool, leaned over and took out a strip of dried bacon. He didn't wash it and just sliced it into pieces. The aroma immediately overflowed.
Ah Q ate a few slices, barely suppressed his hunger, and then stopped. The living ghost had the same consciousness as him, and knew that being hungry for a long time and eating too much would do bad things.
Ah Q tied up the dried meat with a piece of straw rope. After thinking about it, he took off another piece and tied them together, then stood up and left.
There are dozens of pieces of bacon in the kitchen, and it is difficult to detect the theft without careful inspection.
Weizhuang is a land of ethics and customs, with simple folk customs and open doors at night. How could anyone in the Zhao family think that someone would steal bacon tonight?
In this way, Ah Q can go to the city safely without worrying about being handed a two-finger-wide note into the Yamen by Mr. Zhao, which will cause Ah Q to be sued.
Ah Q was about to climb over the wall and go out, when suddenly there was a soft "squeak" sound from the door opening in front of him.
Ah Q has experience that only by opening the door quietly and holding the door leaf firmly can the noise of the wooden door be reduced.
Ah Q quickly ducked behind the hall door and looked through the crack in the door.
Sneaking around in the middle of the night, there is a high probability of adultery.
In front is the middle courtyard, the master courtyard. Mr. Zhao and his wife lived in the main house, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Xiucai lived in the east wing. The west wing was empty and had been used as a warehouse, and Ah Q had moved things into it.
Could it be...
It is indeed Mr. Zhao!
This old dog is usually very polite, but now it's like a sneaky old cat. After looking around for a while, it suddenly got into the east wing!
