Chapter 79: The Year of the Rabbit in a leap year
"Tell me where you came from?" I frowned, grabbed its long ears, lifted it up, and shook it back and forth, until it was almost vomiting, and then I stopped and put it back in the car.
The rabbit kept swaying in the car body, feeling like he had drunk too much, and then the fat man and Akor in the car saw that I had been out of the car for a long time and seemed to be in no danger, probably curious about what I was doing, and got out of the car and walked towards me.
"Hey, what is this?" said Acha to me, puzzled when he saw the rabbit still shaking.
I shrugged my shoulders and said I didn't know, but the fat man pointed to the rabbit and said, "Isn't this a rabbit?
Aka touched his chin, stared at the rabbit that was still confused, and said with a very solemn expression: "It's not just an ordinary rabbit!"
"Isn't a rabbit just a rabbit, what's so unusual? Can he eat you, or can he speak human words?" The fat man looked disdainful, glanced at my expression out of the corner of his eye, and then muttered dissatisfiedly: "You don't even let go of a rabbit, look at the hairstyle that shakes it is messed up, abuse small animals?"
The fat man said, without waiting for me to stop it, he took the rabbit out of the car with pity, put it in his arms and gently patted the rabbit's little head, and continued to say to me and Akar: "The little master belongs to the rabbit, this year is the year of his birth, so we are a family, don't want to bully us."
Originally, the fat man just wanted to make a joke, who said that rabbits don't eat rabbit meat, and now there are two smoked rabbit meat in my refrigerator! The reason why the fat man said this was completely playful, and he was just scared enough by me and Akha's gods in the car, so he wanted to hold the rabbit and make a joke with the two of us, but who knows, the rabbit in the fat man's arms heard what the fat man said, raised his head, looked up at the fat man's fat chin and said:
"Today, the old man feels that he has a fate with you, and he really didn't see the wrong person, or you kid is on the road!
The rabbit old lady Hengqiu's words directly scared the fat man's face white, only to see him throwing **, throwing it casually, directly throwing the rabbit out, and then quickly ran behind me and Akha, patted his chest, and scolded with palpitations: "What the hell is this fucking play? Why are you still talking? But I'm scared to death."
I have long seen that although this rabbit is not ordinary, and I don't know what kind of species it is, it doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, just now the fat man is so capable, but now he is hiding behind me and pretending to be a grandson, and can't help but joke: "Isn't this with your family? Why did you throw your family out?
The fat man was not happy to hear this, and he pulled his neck and shouted to me, "Who is with it? Who is its old child? What is this thing supposed to be?"
At this time, the rabbit that was thrown to the ground and rolled twice staggered to his feet, first raised a small paw and pointed at the fat man and scolded: "Okay, you are ungrateful, you deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, the unfilial rabbit cub, Xiaoxian gave you two smoked rabbits for nothing at noon? How can you adjust your ass and not recognize your ancestors, who gave you the ability? Let you cross the river and demolish the bridge?"
After scolding, the rabbit sat on the ground again, crossed his legs, and howled like a person: "Come on! These three unkind and unrighteous fellows will bully my old man for the New Year, come and see!"
I, the fat man and Akha, suddenly petrified on the spot, looked at the rabbit on the ground in surprise, blinked and shook his head in disbelief, and then the fat man gently pulled my sleeve, and whispered: "I said Yangzi, let's get in the car and run! This thing is probably going to slander people?"
"Who am I slandering? I've given you two smoked rabbits for nothing, if it weren't for the fact that the three of you are not ordinary people, I really wouldn't give it to you!
This rabbit's ears are so good! I cried so loudly, but I could still hear the fat man talking, but then again, this rabbit kept emphasizing that he gave us two rabbits during the day, isn't it the little old man who sells smoked rabbit meat at the gate of the community at noon?
The fat man also reacted at this time, and timidly asked the rabbit who was still howling opposite: "You mean that the old man who gave me the two rabbits at noon and insisted that the rabbit was related to me is you?"
"Who am I not ungrateful, I see you are too thin, pity you, give you two rabbits, I didn't expect you to be such a person......!
The rabbit hugged his arms with his arms, snorted coldly and twisted his head, ignoring us, I looked at its human-like expression and movements, I couldn't hold back the "poof" laugh, the corners of the fat man's mouth trembled a few times, and continued to talk to the rabbit: "You mean to say I'm thin?"
The rabbit still didn't turn his head to us, but replied, "No, Xiaoxian looks at your skinny skinny bones, and thinks that we are both born in the leap rabbit year, and we need to take care of each other, so I have pity on you and give you two rabbits, otherwise I can't sell fifty more for fifty?"
Why is Lu Changfeng's nickname called Fatty? Isn't it because of his fat body of more than 180 pounds? How did he get into the eyes of this rabbit, but he is skinny and skinny? It really responds to what the fat man said at noon: "Strange things happen every year, and this year is a special one!"
"Then you mean that you want us to take you in?"
I walked towards the rabbit with some tears and laughter, thinking to myself, this rabbit has no anger, it is not a demon or a demon, but it can transform into a human form, maybe it is really a little rabbit fairy, I can't say! Anyway, I don't know how to identify the fairy, or I will take it in for the night, and then "torture" it tomorrow!
As soon as the rabbit heard my words, he immediately stopped howling, turned his head and blinked a pair of blood-red eyes, and his ass seemed to move and stand upright, and said: "That's what Xiaoxian means, you see this year is the Year of the Leap Rabbit, I finally waited for this opportunity to come out for a walk, you might as well take me in for a night, so that I can also feel the warmth and coldness of this world?"
"It's not difficult to take you in, but you have to tell me what you are first, and then I'll consider whether to make you feel the cold or warmth of this world."
I looked at the rabbit's little face with a strange smile, waiting for its answer.
"Alas, there are 12 zodiac animals in China, and there are 12 zodiac year beasts, Xiaoxian is the year of the rabbit, every leap year, is the year of our birth, that is, you mortals say birthday, on the day of the alternation of the old and the new, we can come to the world to walk for a while, feel and feel the beauty of this world, after all, the life of the zodiac year beast is very boring and boring."
The rabbit broke its two little paws, and said to us in a very sad tone, as if trying to arouse our sympathy, but I really felt its helplessness and loneliness from its fluffy rabbit face, and I couldn't help but have a trace of pity for it, just as I was about to pick up the rabbit, the fat man was one step ahead of me, bent down and held it in his arms, sighed and lowered his head and said to the rabbit: "I didn't think that there was really a young beast! I have to take you back to study and study."
The little rabbit nested in the fat man's wide and warm arms, and nodded vigorously: "Come on, study me, just don't cook me and eat it."
In this way, the three of us drove back home, Zhong Qiuxia and the fat man's parents were still giggling and watching the Spring Festival Gala, and they didn't pay much attention to anything wrong with the fat man's wide clothes.
As soon as he entered my room, the fat man put the rabbit on his desk, and as he took off his coat, he asked him, "What is the beast? Where are you usually hiding? What do you do every day?"
The rabbit first shook off the dust on the fur, then stretched out one leg to comb the fur, and when the fur was finally straightened out, he replied: "The year beast is the year beast, you don't understand this? As for where we stay, what are we doing, I'm sorry, I have nothing to say."
"No comment?" the fat man's eyes widened, and then he narrowed his eyes, and the horizontal flesh on his face was piled up, and he said to the unimpressed rabbit: "Let's go! Throw it out, don't tell me anything, don't treat me as a relative at all, and the rabbit family! I won't take you in."
The fat man pretended to be angry and hugged the rabbit in his arms again, how did the rabbit know that the fat man was pretending, the little rabbit's face was twisted in horror, and his body was also struggling, and he said eagerly: "Alas...... Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret!"
"It's about the same" The fat man put the rabbit on the table again, but when he saw the little rabbit's reluctance, he comforted it and said, "Don't worry, rabbit fairy, even if we are willing to tell others, people will not believe it, and we will have to be put in a mental hospital."
Acha and I sat on the bed, smiling and watching the rabbit singing, and we both thought to ourselves that they were a good match, and it would be fun to have such a talking rabbit in the house.
After that, under our expectant gaze, the rabbit lay comfortably on the bed, dangling Erlang's legs and telling us about the origin of the real Nian Beast.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of the year beast, in the version that can be found, the year beast is also called "year", is a kind of horns on the head, fierce and abnormal, a kind of vicious beast that eats human heads, even babies and children are unavoidable, the year of the rabbit beast said that it has also heard of this statement, but because it is too long ago to verify, so it guesses that the legendary year beast may be the year of the ox or the year of the rat, but as for the head of the man, it is estimated that it is a false rumor, because the year beast is harmless to humans regardless of size.
In fact, it is derived from the twelve year beasts, the life span of the year beasts is only twelve leap years, that is to say, they will disappear after twelve birthdays, of course, even if they can only have twelve birthdays, but a rough calculation will have two or three hundred years, and when they disappear this round, there will be a new round of year beasts to take their place, guarding the position of the zodiac, this position actually corresponds to the twelve stars and twenty-eight nakshatras and the heavenly and terrestrial branches.
