It sounded like a very safe job, so Li Chuan asked, "What happened to that family?"
Carpenter Liu first explained the basic situation: "It is a merchant, and the family is engaged in timber business. The man in that family is running business outside, and his mother and daughter-in-law take care of their son and daughter at home, and do some needlework when they are free. He said he couldn’t leave behind closed doors.”
"Originally, the man said he would return home around March this year, but he didn't come back in March. There were rumors that he met a bandit and died on the road. My mother and daughter-in-law cried a lot, and when they were planning to hold a funeral, The man came back, and after he came back he became very careful and considerate. Except that his appetite became larger and he had to eat a chicken for every meal, there was no other abnormality."
"One night, the woman got up and found that the man was not in bed. When she went out, she saw a dark figure squatting in front of the house, eating a chicken raw there, with her mouth full of hair. The woman screamed With a sound, the man also revealed his prototype, it turned out to be a weasel!"
Li Chuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "weasel". Could it be the same weasel?
Carpenter Liu continued: "The next day, the fellow villager who went out to do business with the man came back with the man's old clothes. The man was indeed killed by bandits. At that time, the woman hit her head against the wall. , she was finally rescued, and at night, when no one was paying attention, she took a rope and hanged herself behind the house."
"Now that family only has an old woman and grandchildren left. They invited a monk and killed the weasel. Now they want to invite you to stay for one night to get rid of bad luck. No matter what time, it depends on you. As long as it’s empty, you’ll be rewarded heavily.”
This is a haunted house.
Li Chuan asked: "When did that happen?"
Carpenter Liu said: "About a month or two ago."
Li Chuan did the math and the time was almost right.
He was a little excited.
Recently, in order to replenish my health, I have spent a lot of copper coins on food. Winter is coming soon, I haven't purchased winter clothes yet, and I still have two little monsters to raise at home.
If it is really that weasel, the danger is indeed not high. When the two go over and take care of him tonight, wouldn't he get a fortune in vain by going to the town house again?
When Liu Carpenter saw Li Chuan's complicated expression, he said, "I also know that this matter is a bit difficult. If you don't want to, I will go back to him."
Li Chuan replied: "I still have some things going on right now. I'll give you an accurate answer tomorrow."
After chatting with Carpenter Liu, Li Chuan walked around the street again. When he passed by a steamed bun shop, he ordered more than ten meat buns, kicked them in his hand, and walked back slowly.
I tried one first. The skin was a bit thick, but the meat was very fragrant and juicy. It was really delicious.
…
In the backyard, Gong Er was educating three dog demons.
"To be demons, we must be ambitious and be great demons..."
The dark circles in his eyes were filled with yearning: "Uncle Rooster, have you seen the big demon?"
"Of course I've seen it," Gongshi said confidently, "Not only have I seen the great demon, I've also ridden a crane. In two months, my third brother and I will go to the Four Gods Palace to listen to the sermon."
Liang Dianshui was also moved: "Four Gods Palace? Can we go too?"
Gong Er said cautiously: "As long as you can find the gate of the Four Gods Palace, you can go there, but whether the Four Gods Palace will accept you depends on your luck."
Li Chuan listened, smiled and walked over, put the meat buns on the stool and said, "Come and eat quickly, it's still hot."
The five monsters all held the meat buns and started to chew on them.
Seeing them enjoying their meal, Li Chuan repeated to them what he heard from Carpenter Liu.
"Is it that weasel?" Gong Er asked.
Li Chuan said: "I think most likely, we will find out after we catch him tonight and torture him."
Night soon fell.
…
The three dogs carried Gong Er, who looked like he was dying, and ran under the stone bridge.
Li Chuan hid in a small alley not far away, while the other three lay at his feet.
After Gong Er entered, he listened carefully to what was going on inside.
It was quiet for a long time. When Li Chuan started to wonder if something happened to Gong Er, he heard a fierce barking of a dog, mixed with the barking of a puppy, and then heard the crowing of a chicken, and another one that looked a bit like a duck. The harsh sound was probably the cry of a weasel.
The next three quickly crawled over to support him.
Li Chuan waited for a while, and then saw a big rooster walking out from under the bridge.
The next three followed him, and they grew larger. They were carrying something on their crab shells. They were white. When they got closer, they discovered that it was a big white dog. It seemed that they were bitches.
The dog's eyes were closed tightly, its mouth was open, and its tongue was slanted to one side. It was unclear whether it was dead or unconscious.
Behind them are the three little dogs of the three-petal flower. They are very energetic, kicking a ball of gray stuff as they walk. It's probably a weasel.
It looked like a great victory.
A foul smell came from far and near. Li Chuan rubbed his nose and felt that he had to let them take a bath at the stream before going home.
After meeting up with Li Chuan, the group moved further into the alley, and then Gong Er reported the battle situation to Li Chuan.
"The weasel was very suspicious. Fortunately, I knew how to blindfold him. He looked as if he was dead. I knew I couldn't let him fart, so I had to kill him quickly. When he was about to eat me, I pecked out one of his eyes. , then Dabai woke up and we fucked him together. He farted and wanted to escape. Unexpectedly, he happened to bump into the third brother. We were already a little awake at that time. I flew on his head and beat him in a few blows. fainted."
After hearing this, Li Chuan felt a little lucky that there were so many of them. He felt that the hair on Gong Er's neck was a bit thin.
Then he asked: "Is Dabai a bitch?"
Gonger replied: "Yes."
"How is she?" Li Chuan asked.
The third person said: "The wound on the abdomen is very deep, and I have been hungry for a long time. I'm afraid..."
When the three dog demons who were kicking the weasel like a ball heard this, they started to cry again. The three-petaled flower leaned down and begged Li Chuan, "Please save our mother."
Li Chuan was somewhat interested in rescuing people. He could just throw it into the pot, so he said, "I want to ask the weasel a few words, and you wake him up."
After some scratching and biting, the weasel finally woke up.
Li Chuan covered his nose with his sleeve and asked, "Is that weasel who pretended to be someone else's husband you?"
Weasel just said: "Who are you from that family?"
This seems to be it. Li Chuan waved his hand and said: "Beat him to death quickly."
The weasel didn't react, and the three-petal flower bit his throat.
After earning it twice, there is no interest left.
Afterwards, under the worried eyes of Sangou, Li Chuan rolled Dabai into a circle and stuffed it into the pot, then greeted them and went home.
Such peaceful days passed for more than a month. After winter, Zhu Qingyun finally knocked on Li Chuan's door again.
