Early the next morning, Li Chuan took a chicken and a crab and went to Laomei Village with Zhu Qingyun.
At dusk, they arrived at Laomei Village. Li Chuan found the house according to the address given by Carpenter Song. Zhu Qingyun found another place to spend the night, and Li Chuan raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After knocking on the door for a long time, someone came to answer.
After a boy opened the door, he asked about his purpose and ran inside. Li Chuan waited outside for a long time before a white-haired head popped out and said, "Is it Li Xiucai? I've been waiting for you for a long time. .
It seemed that it was Mrs. Qiao who invited him to stay at the house.
Li Chuan said: "It's me."
"I am the owner of this family." Mrs. Qiao raised her head, and Li Chuan finally saw her wrinkled face clearly. His eyes were cloudy and his face was filled with misery.
Mrs. Qiao opened the door and took him into the main room. There was no light in the room, which was quite deep. The black and white cloth strips on the door beams had not been taken off yet, and they were dangling in the wind.
Li Chuan looked around.
Mrs. Qiao lit the candle with trembling hands, and explained as she lit it: "Something like this happened at home, and the children didn't dare to sleep or go out, so I sent them to live with their aunt's house for a while."
Li Chuan said: "Okay, then I will sleep in the main room for one night?"
Mrs. Qiao said: "I know your rules. I have already bought a table of banquets outside. It will be delivered to you later, and the reward has been sealed."
Li Chuan hurriedly said: "Take care of yourself."
Mrs. Qiao sighed deeply and asked: "Xiucai, why do you think my family has suffered like this? My son is a loyal man. After taking over the family business, he was always praised for his good things. I My daughter-in-law is also a good person. She occasionally has quarrels, but she gets sulky for a while, and that's fine. She has given birth to a pair of children, both of whom are lively and cute. We have never done anything outrageous, so how did we end up like this? ?”
Li Chuan didn't answer.
Mrs. Qiao stopped talking, lowered her voice, and said: "Hey, if monsters want to harm people, how can they pick good and bad people? Maybe, they just bully good and fear evil, and specifically pick those of us who are easy to bully. Those They dare not marry those who do evil." There was hatred in her eyes, "I live alone these days. I knock on the table every day and say, Weasel, Weasel, aren't you awesome? Come on, I I'm waiting here for you to come...I tried my best to give up this old life and avenge my son and wife, but it just won't come, hehehe..."
Mrs. Qiao laughed loudly in her throat. She looked up at Li Chuan and said, "Scholar of the town, tell me, why doesn't it dare to come?"
Because it's dead.
His body was dismembered by three dogs and his death was extremely miserable. He originally wanted to skin it to make a scarf, but in the blink of an eye, it was divided into three pieces.
He was thinking about what happened today and took a piece of it with him, planning to burn it to pay homage to the dead in the evening.
But it's not easy to talk to Mrs. Qiao about this.
Li Chuan comforted him and said, "I'm sorry, but the weasel has done so many evil things, so he will definitely get his retribution."
Mrs. Qiao suddenly said again: "I suspect that my son was murdered." Her voice lowered again and she said: "They went out to do business together. Why did my son die but he was unscathed..."
Li Chuan knew that this was an unreasonable guess, so he said nothing and just listened to her pour out her bitterness, resentment, and disgust.
I don't know how long it took, but finally someone knocked on the door again, and it was the person who brought the banquet.
After Mrs. Qiao had three glasses of wine with Li Chuan, she left. When she left, she ordered the servant to spread a mattress on the floor of the main room and get a quilt for Li Chuan.
After sitting for a while and confirming that no one would disturb them, Li Chuan released the second son and the third son.
The second boy said as soon as he got up: "It's suffocating me, it's suffocating me." He jumped up and down, stretched his wings, and finally felt at ease.
He looked around and said, "Brother, this place is really scary."
Li Chuan didn't mind, and concentrated on eating and drinking, and said: "We are sincerely invited to come. We will burn the weasel's skin when it is later. If you know how to recite sutras, I will recite a few words."
The two little demons said one after another that the Four Gods Palace did not teach this.
Li Chuan gave up.
After eating and drinking, Li Chuan walked out of the main room with a candle.
The cool breeze blew by, and something seemed to be moving in the shadow of the trees.
He was about to tell the other three to take out the weasel skin when he suddenly heard a warning: "You are such a talented scholar. You actually have two monsters by your side!"
A shining golden stick smashed down.
Li Chuan finally showed some vigilance and rolled directly to the ground. Although he was embarrassed, he really avoided the stick. Then Gong Er and Pang San reacted and immediately started to fight.
It turned out to be a monk. Li Chuan saw the man's appearance clearly and immediately shouted: "Master, stop and take a step to speak."
The monk hummed and did not respond.
Li Chuan shouted a few more times, but when he saw that the monk still refused to give him face, he stopped talking and just ran into the main room and took out the broken pot.
The monk is very brave. The strength of the two brothers has increased greatly recently, and the brothers worked together so well that for a while they couldn't tell the winner.
At first, Li Chuan watched attentively, always ready to throw a pot.
After watching for a long time, Li Chuan fell asleep and sat on the steps and yawned.
Sonorous.
Two blue and white sword lights flashed, and with three bang bang bangs, the monk was seen falling to the ground from three directions.
"Where did you come from as a witch?" The monk stood up and asked loudly.
Zhu Qingyun silently took out the token.
The monk was shocked: "Qin Tianjianhe is colluding with monsters?"
Zhu Qingyun said with a cold face, "You wild monk. Do you know what you are doing when you slander Qin Tian's supervisor?"
The monk grunted a few times and finally relented and said, "I heard that this family invited some talented people to live in the town. I suspect that they are people who are trying to gain fame and reputation to defraud money, so I came to take a look."
"Are you the monk invited by this family to eliminate demons?" Li Chuan asked.
"I am," the monk admitted.
After a conversation, the two parties finally figured out each other's identity. The monk's name was empty and he was listed in the nearby Chong'an Temple. He took over the business of this family, but the weasel ran away. He was a little guilty at first, but when he heard that the family had invited some talented people to live in the house, he felt a little unwilling. .
So tonight I came here specifically to see what this town show was like. After seeing the man next to him, I decided that he was a demon who had gone astray. I planned to kill him and then go find the weasel.
Li Chuan told Wu Kong about the weasel and showed him the fur. Wu Kong took it in his hand, looked at it, touched it, and said, "Sure enough, it belongs to that beast."
He felt ashamed and wanted to give Li Chuan the reward he had received before. Li Chuan pushed it several times and finally accepted it.
Several people cleaned up the traces of the fight.
Li Chuan picked up some wood, burned the paper, and then burned the fur.
Monk Wukong lowered his head and began to chant the sutra.
Amid the Sanskrit sounds, the wind seemed to calm down for a moment, and the sky gradually became brighter.
