Chapter Seventy-Five: True Ghosts and False Ghosts
Golden clouds fluttered on the resting earth, the sun shone its last light on the trees in front of the door, and the red sky shimmered.
Nangong Duren has been awake for a long time, but his work and rest are irregular, he is still sleepy, lazily tossing and turning in bed, and refuses to get up.
"Xianggong get up quickly, and eat the food while it's hot." Hua Ningshuang nudged him gently, and he was still like a child, with 'I don't want to get up' written all over his face.
The frowning brow and unhappy expression were very obvious.
She reminded again, "Get up, get up, do you hear?" ”
"I'm not going to eat today, lady, call me later."
Hua Ningshuang lay down next to him and pleaded, "Xianggong, I have a little matter with Rou'er, please ask you, can you promise us?" ”
Listening to her soft voice, seeing her lower posture, Nangong Dui opened her eyes, "Lady, what is the big deal with you, as for please, please me like this, it seems that we are so unfamiliar." ”
"Can you get a pound or two of yellow beef to go home? I know it's illegal to eat cows, but you're so smart, you should have a way to get it. No, I'll leave it to you. ”
"I want to find a way to help you, but I don't have time to find any yellow beef for you today, it's better to do this, I'll let Jiao Guwan find it for you during the day, okay?"
If you can save trouble, you can save trouble, and besides, you sleep in the middle of the night, if you don't steal or rob, how can you get meat.
The wayward Flower Frost proposed, "Then you can carry a calf home, and put the silver taels in the cowshed!" ”
Nangong Duan reached out and pinched her face, and said, "My little beauty, a calf weighs nearly 100 catties, can I carry it?" The little mouth is so greedy, so I want to eat. ”
She said unhappily, "Then why were you full of energy when you carried me up the mountain?" I'm heavier than a newborn calf. ”
Newborn cattle are about sixty or seventy pounds, and different breeds have different weights, but they will not exceed 100 catties.
"How can you compare to a cow." He thought of the lady comparing herself with the cow, and he was happy.
"What's wrong with me? What happened to the calves? ”
Nangong Dui lifted his spirits and sat up, and said, "The cow is dispensable, there is no need to go through the trouble to get it." You don't think about it anymore, I think I can't marry you, and I'm very disappointed. ”
She was very embarrassed to be said, "When you haven't skimmed the eight characters, you didn't have so many sweet words to tell me, but after getting married, you talked more and more." ”
"Don't want to hear it? If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it in the future. ”
"Tell me once in a while, I'll get tired of talking too much." Hua Ningshuang stood up and got his clothes for him, and said, "I'll dress you, hurry up, Rou'er is still waiting." ”
He lifted the quilt and said, "That girl can still wait for us, I'm afraid she has already eaten." ”
"What does it matter to your own family, there are no outsiders, so why don't you just eat with her."
Nangong Dusk, who was wearing boots, stood up straight, stretched out her arms, and she dressed him with her own hands.
"I'm like an outsider, you and she are sisters."
"Nonsense, I took care of you so well, and I feel wronged. The night clothes have been put in the cupboard for you, and I don't think it's good to put them on the table. ”
After combing his hair, the two of them went to the kitchen to eat.
The smell is easy to attract cockroaches and mice, so they are not eaten in the room, and it will be very troublesome to serve it back and forth, so it is easy to eat it directly in the kitchen.
When Nangong Rou saw her brother and sister-in-law, she asked, "Brother, have you promised about beef?" ”
"There have been a lot of things recently, and people are still in line, so I'm going to ask for debts alone, so how can I find time to get a cow for you."
Several wealthy businessmen who have become thriving in the local area would rather have money than money, and they all want to beat up those who owe them money to relieve their hatred.
There is no way, the official level crushes people to death, and those who have backers are even more afraid.
Because of the debts that have been paid several times, the government has already been alarmed, and the government is offering a reward for the arrest of the perpetrators.
The fight is all backed by backers, and they are all guys who have money but don't pay it back.
Logically speaking, it is a matter of course to kill people to pay for their lives and repay debts.
But whoever dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head is pretending to be stupid, pretending that they don't owe him money, holding back a big fire in their hearts, and there is nowhere to vent.
Nangong Rou came up with a good idea while waiting for her brother and sister-in-law: "Let's just buy a calf from another family and let them lie, saying that when the cow was grazing, the cow was lost, and we couldn't find it after looking for a long time." What can the government do? There's no way to get lost, can you? ”
"Then we don't need to help the minister, we will handle it ourselves. Silver is too much, who cares about a calf! Hua Ningshuang sat down and said, "Okay, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the matter of the cow will be discussed in detail tomorrow, we will eat, and we have to clean up after eating." ”
The spring night was very quiet, Nangong Twilight went to do her own business after eating, Hua Ningshuang and Nangong Rou stayed in the side room, and the two candles on the table illuminated the whole room.
The moon was dim, and he was a little worried that something would happen to him, but he liked to do this kind of righteous thing.
Maintain a respectful cooperative relationship for mutual benefit. You don't have to be inferior, you have to look at people's faces everywhere, and you are actually very suitable for this unique profession.
In order to dispel her troubles, Hua Ningshuang chatted with Nangong Rou about folk legends, such as "The Legend of the White Snake", "Chang'e Running to the Moon", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and so on
This girl has never heard anything interesting about martial arts, and she thinks it is quite novel, so she listens to the story quietly every time.
She has a much better memory than ordinary people, and she is good at organizing oral stories in her own language, so she tells them well every time.
Occasionally, it will get stuck, after all, no matter how good the memory is, it is impossible to remember it all.
A black shadow suddenly flashed by the window, and the alert Nangong Rou immediately whispered, "Brother has already gone out, why is there a dark shadow outside the window?" ”
I finally forgot that this was the flower of the murderous house, and stretched out her hands to cover her mouth, not daring to look back.
Fortunately, no one faced it, and there was a bold Rou'er by her side, if she was timid, the two would have to hug each other and cry.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, my father said on the day he taught me and my brother to practice martial arts, it is useless to be afraid, you can only wait for death stupidly." She took out two daggers and said in a serious and whispered voice, "Put your hand down quickly, and hold one of the daggers firmly from my hand." ”
The trembling Hua Ningshuang lowered her head, reached out and pinched the handle, and then grabbed it, grasping it more steadily, "What if it's a ghost outside?" Could it be, will it hate us for robbing their home? ”
Nangong Rou observed in front of her, and had to comfort her fragile and vulnerable sister-in-law, "How can there be ghosts and gods in the world, there is a saying that 'good people don't live long, and they will be harmed for a thousand years'!" Good words and bad words are made up by people, just listen to them. ”
"I'm calming down, trying to calm my emotions."
She was frightened and incoherent, and she mustered up the courage to turn around and look outside, and another black shadow passed by, her face turned pale, and she fainted to the ground.
"Oh my God! This is to be stunned! ”
Nangong Rou helped Hua Ningshuang to the bed and covered the quilt, kicked open the door and shouted, "Who has nothing to do when they are full?" The third watch pretended to be a ghost in the middle of the night, and my aunt and grandmother broke your legs! ”
The night breeze blows on the body, and I feel a little chilly, and ordinary girls don't say that they are scared, but at least they will shiver all over, and they are afraid and scared in their hearts.
She just felt cold, trembled and frowned, and complained, "Even if you are a ghost, we didn't kill you, if you want to find it, go to the person who killed you, don't harm the innocent." ”
After finishing his sentence angrily, he closed the door tightly, and sat on the edge of the bed to guard, and no one was sleepy anyway. And there are only two people at home, one has already fainted, and no more can faint.
Nangong Rou looked directly at the window and thought: If I catch the little cub who pretended to be a ghost and caused me to be blown by the cold wind, he would definitely hit him all over the ground looking for teeth.
But so far, it seems to have calmed down, and no dark shadow has appeared for a long time.
Probably, I'm afraid of her.
