"Mida Buddha, the little woman made a vow in front of the Buddha. I don't even want to touch some meat when I eat normally, so how can I let my mother-in-law hide a cut dog tail in her hand to scare my young lady? ”

I saw Xu Menglian's nurse Xu Liu raised her right hand and gently beat it twice on the chest before she spoke again: "It's strange to say, this lotus pond in my house has been around for some years, but everyone has never noticed that there is such a thing in this pond." ”

Seeing that Xu Menglian was so frightened by herself that her pretty face turned white, the servant woman named 'Hou Erjia' suddenly panicked, her knees were weak, and she knelt down in the direction of Xu Menglian with a "plop".

"Miss, don't scare the villain, we just cut two lotus pods, how can there be any dog tails...... Oops, what is this?! ”

I saw that the woman's face was so pale that she was sifting through chaff on the ground, and her two eyes were staring straight at the two tender green lotus canopies that were rolling on the ground in front of her...... Under the slightly larger canopy, there was a 'dog's tail' two or three inches long and one finger thick.

As he spoke, the lotus canopy rolled out a small half circle, exposing the other end of the dog's tail, and a single brush brushed the broken mouth and dripped bright red 'blood' drop after drop.

It's like there is an invisible puppy, who played for a while and hid his tail under the tender green lotus canopy, which was cut off by Hou Erjia's knife.

"Dogtail??"

Before Xu Xu Liu could pick up the stubble, Steward Xu, who was standing on the side, reprimanded with a displeased face: "Mother-in-law who doesn't know anything, she doesn't have any eyesight!" Don't open your eyes and see, is now the time for you to gossip and sell your mouth?! ”

After speaking, Steward Xu respectfully bowed his hand to Yang Congxun: "Master Dao, Xiao Lao'er also asked Mr. to see the cut 'dog tail'." According to the gentleman, this thing is not a dog's tail at all, but a bud of a aquatic plant called calamus. ”

As soon as he heard Steward Xu introduce that the dog's tail was calamus, Yang Congxun immediately nodded: "Shiyun, 'The slope of Beze, there are pampas and lotus'." It's normal for calamus to appear in this lotus pond...... And then what? ”

"This ......"

Hearing that Yang Congxun took the initiative to ask about the follow-up development, Steward Xu, who had just returned to the river, was dumbfounded, and had to ask Xu Liu beside him for help with his eyes.

I saw that Xu Liu first glanced at Steward Xu, and then smiled at Yang Cong and saluted: "Dao Ye Rongyu, although the little woman has not read any books, she still has the eye to see things.

At first glance, it did look a bit like the tail of a half-sized yellow dog, but if you look closely, it's not hard to see the difference.

So the little woman tried her best to enlighten my young lady. ”

said that on that day, Xu Liu, who was afraid of frightening the young lady, kept gagging against the lotus white jade pool, in a vain attempt to make Xu Menglian laugh with some witty words.

As he spoke, a breeze happened to blow.

Suddenly, the lotus pond near the white jade pot on this side of the large lotus canopy swayed gently with the wind, and when it landed, a few yellow dog tails obliquely clinging to the tender green lotus canopy were revealed.

Seeing this situation, Xu Liu, who was worried that he couldn't find the words to explain Xu Menglian, suddenly slapped his face and said: "But we just said that this is not a dog's tail, miss, you still don't believe it...... Miss, look, how can there be such a yellow dog hidden under the lotus canopy in the world! ”

Xu Menglian, who realized that he was too careful, immediately burst into tears and laughed, covered his small mouth with his hand, and giggled non-stop.

Xu is playful heart, Xu Menglian stopped laughing, his feet were in the water, and he gently probed his slender body, and swam from this end of the white jade basin to that end.

I saw Xu Menglian climbing the edge of the bathtub with one hand to stabilize his figure, and he grinned and reached out with the other hand to the tail of the yellow dog leaning under the lotus canopy.

The little woman only hated herself for not taking good care of her that day...... That day, the little woman suddenly heard the young lady's 'oops', and held her wrist with her hand and kept crying out in pain. When the little woman panicked and rushed into the water with a few sturdy envoys, she found that the young lady had clenched her teeth and clenched her face like gold paper, and the personnel ...... Personnel unconscious! ”

Seeing that Xu Liu wiped his tears and was so remorseful that he beat his chest and blamed himself, Yang Congxun hurriedly saluted him with a fist: "Thanks to the sister-in-law for telling the poor Dao the details one by one, and please let the sister-in-law relax, tonight Xiaodao will go all out to capture this monster hiding in the lotus pond." ”

After speaking, Yang Congxun turned his head to look at Steward Xu on the side: "Please also ask the steward to command the public in the back house to carry the gate and release the water, and be sure to let the pool water submerge the white jade bathtub...... By the way, steward, can you find a boat for Xiaodao? ”

……

That's right, although Yang Congxun kept saying that he wanted to go into the water to get rid of the demon, but this water nature was really not on the table, so he had to borrow a boat to go into the water.

In fact, this is not bad, at least Yang Congxun can also row a boat, in case he capsizes and falls into the water in the process of subduing the demon, he can also plop a few dog planers in the water.

The Hu San next to him is worse than him, and if he goes into the water today, he will be able to float up the next day.

……

The words are complicated, and it is said that at this hour, it will be the end of the Shen Dynasty and the beginning of the first month.

Although the sky was completely dark, more than 20 butter torches with the thickness of ordinary people's arms had already been erected on the lotus pond in the back house of the Xu family, and they were burning at this time, and the fire light reflected the venue as if it were daytime.

Although the venue is bright enough to match daytime, the area around the lotus pond is not as popular as it is during the day.

Except for a figure in Taoist costume squatting on the rockery Taihu Lake stone to sharpen a knife, there is only a two-foot-high fiery red dwarf on the edge of this lotus pond.

At this time, the short, fiery figure was holding one of its front paws and struggling, and from time to time it would cooin and whine...... Rooster?!

"Brother Yang entered the water tonight, are you completely sure?"

“……”

"Brother Yang, you and I don't know anything about the water monster this time, can you make these preparations now, can they come in handy later?"

“……”

"Hey, I said Yang Yu! You squeak, third master, I'll talk to you! ”

Xiao Hu San, who asked two questions one after another, but couldn't get any answer from Yang Congxun, suddenly became anxious, and threw the rooster in his hand that was tied to his wings with a straw rope and was dying at the moment to the ground.

"Is this chicken useful or not, you should give a word, hey, the third master took a lot of effort to catch it."

At this time, I saw that the figure who was squatting next to the Taihu Lake stone to sharpen the knife suddenly straightened his waist, just rubbed it and stood up, picked up the rooster on the ground with one hand, and the knife in the other hand was extremely fast and gently dragged out of the chicken's throat.

With a crisp wail, a large stream of bright red blood droplets flowed from the crack in the chicken's throat and poured into a lidless tin flask that lay on the ground.

"How? What if you can't? When it comes to the end, how can you not give it a try? ”

I saw Yang Cong grabbing the pot of liquor mixed with rooster blood, raising it to his lips, and pouring the bottom of the pot into the sky as soon as he raised his neck: "Happy!" Third brother, the chicken is yours! ”。

However, the little fox didn't look at the rooster that was thrown to the ground by Yang Congxun's hand, and his feathers were still twitching slightly, but his eyes were staring at the man in front of him for a moment.

"Brother Yang, you're right! There are some things, how can you do it without trying? Go into the water with peace of mind, brother, I will fight for you on the shore! ”
