Chapter 55 (3) The Shadow of the Thief on a Moonlit Night
Hu Xuan picked up a small branch on the ground, and drew two dots on the sandy soil in the courtyard by the moonlight, "This is our village, this is the neighboring village of my aunt's family, my father-in-law, the village where the rinderpest is noisy, there are a few in total, that immortal family, is it all the way to the immortal law, and the cure has been passed?" ”
"yes, how do you know?" The old man was a little surprised, this son-in-law was too smart, he pointed to the pattern drawn on the ground, "The rinderpest came from afar, here, Lijiazhuang, here, Dawangzhuang, all made trouble." He pointed, and Hu slowly drew a road map underground.
A-Ning smiled: "Are you calculating which village should cause a plague next?" ”
"Yes."
Hu Xuan and A Ning discussed the map drawn on the ground for a while, and they couldn't figure out which village should be plagued next, the neighborhood was densely populated, and the villages were facing each other, who knew where this nasty rinderpest would go?
"Simply," Hu Xuan said, "Let's not guess, let's go to my aunt's house tomorrow and find a way to meet that immortal family and lure him over." Lure the snake out of the hole. ”
"Okay, just the two of us?"
"Do you have any friends or friends from your childhood? It's best to find a few, there is strength in numbers. ”
"Yes," A-Ning said happily, "I have a lot of little sisters, but if it's good, there are still a lot of boys, I can also start it." ”
A Ning's parents instructed: "You can go to your aunt's house, but if you go to see the ancient sword of the immortal family or something, don't ruin the interest of others, they believe in their immortal family, let's not dislike people." ”

Early the next morning, A-Ning took Hu Bolt to visit the door, in the village, met those childhood friends, everyone was a burst of affectionate cheers, talk and laughter, a fat girl named Ah Zhen hugged her and jumped and jumped, smiled and said: "I thought you went away and forgot about us." ”
After talking about the old days for a while, Ah Ning talked about the rinderpest in the neighboring village, and Ah Zhen said: "These days, the people in the village are also worried, for fear that the rinderpest will come here, and everyone is not rich. ”
"This rinderpest is making a lot of trouble," Hu Xuan said: "Let's think about it, why did you just make a rafferpest and happen to come to the immortal family that can cure rinderpest?" Then everyone has to ask him to smelt cattle, and then raise money for him to make the fairy law eliminate the disaster, I have heard of rinderpest before, and it spreads, it is very fast, very difficult to treat, but this time it is where the fairy family goes, where the rinderpest goes, don't you think it's strange? ”
"That's right," a young man named Dasheng patted his head, "you're right, there's a mystery here. ”
Several girls and boys, getting together, discussing and discussing, all felt that what Hu Xuan and A Ning said made sense, this "fairy family" was very suspicious. Da Sheng said with his hands in full swing: "Let's go and find out that immortal family, and ask him what tricks he is playing, if he dares to play tricks, I will break his neck." ”
"That's not good," Hu Xuan shook his head with a smile, "Now the immortal family is proud of the spring breeze, everyone treats him as a fairy, if you dare to offend him, the people in the village will break your neck first." ”
"These old men and old ladies are just stupid. So what to do? ”
"There is a way," Hu Xuan told several young people about the plan he had discussed with A-Ning, and everyone applauded in unison, so they did according to the plan. Da Sheng said excitedly: "This idea is really wonderful, after Zhuge Liang, I will contact a few more people, and we will definitely catch this plague god." ”
After agreeing on the details of the operation with their fellow villagers, Hu Xuan and Aning bought some gifts and walked out of the village. On the way to Aunt Aning's house, Hu Xuan still remembers that the two of them talked about last year, when they ran away at night, and met the flying mountain monkey pretending to be a ghost, all kinds of things, vividly, both emotional, and a little funny.
"Wait for me," there was a shout from behind, but it was Dasheng who chased after him, "I'll go too." I'll take a look at that fairy family first, what it looks like. ”
The three of them talked and laughed, and when they arrived at the neighboring village, Hu Xuan and A Ning first went to visit their aunt, her aunt and uncle, all of whom were full of wind and frost Zhuang family, with honesty and kindness, Hu Xuan chatted with the two old people for a while, talking about rinderpest, Uncle A Ning sighed and said: "What can be done, according to the fairy family, not only will there be rinderpest, but also swine fever and sheep plague, if anyone does not honor the immortals, the six animals will have to die, our Zhuang family, where can we afford it?" Only to pay the money and make an offering, alas. ”
At this time, it was not early, and Hu Xuan and A Ning left their aunt's house and came to the house of the rich man Bian. I saw Da Sheng waiting at the door, three young people reported their names, saying that they were visiting the immortal family, and an old elder worker of Bian Cai's family went in to report, and after a while, the old elder worker led the three people into the courtyard, and told him while walking, "When you see the immortals, you must be respectful, do not make loud noises, and do not speak disrespectfully, otherwise the immortals will be guilty." ”
"Don't worry, we know."
Under the leadership of the old man, the three of them entered the backyard, only to see a wooden pole set up in the courtyard, and a yellow flag was hung on it, and a golden flying dragon was painted on the flag, circling around a short sword, the dragon and the sword were colorful, and the wind blew the flag, which was very eye-catching.
Entering the back room, a choking smell of charcoal incense poured out of the house, and A-Ning coughed. There were several thick incense sticks burning in the room, and the smoke was like a fire cloud cave, and a middle-aged man wearing a yellow scarf was sitting on a Taishi chair in the room with his eyes closed, and there was a person who looked like an entourage standing next to him, also wearing a yellow scarf.
"Meet the immortals," Hu Xuan bowed, with a respectful expression on his face, and made another bow to the middle-aged man, "We are from a neighboring village, and I heard that the immortals are here to give everyone a blessing to eliminate disasters and purify all sentient beings. ”
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man opened his "fairy mouth" and asked.
"Everyone knows about rinderpest nearby, very scared, in our village, there are more than 20 cattle breeders, everyone is worried, for fear of being infected with rinderpest, there are several people, they want to kill the cow, or sell it to cattle dealers, it is better than dying of rinderpest, I said to everyone, since there are plague gods nearby, it is better to ask the gods first, to see if there is any good way, if there is no way, it is not too late to kill cattle or sell cattle."
"Look at what you said," the old man interjected on the side, "Where can the gods have no way?" The cattle in our village were all cured by the gods, and I saw it with my own eyes, it was really a living fairy, and the disease was cured. ”
"That's no better," Hu Xuan said: "That's what I mean, I'm just afraid that the gods will leave, so I'm here to ask for it." If the cattle in our village are also infected with the plague, everyone will be blinded. Please also ask the gods to work hard, descend on the village, bless the villagers, and drive away the plague god. (To be continued.) )
