said that the anxious and anxious little Liu Yuan took a sledgehammer and smashed the rusty lock that locked the small courtyard in three or two clicks.

As soon as the lock fell, Xiao Liu's subordinates stepped forward and struggled to push open the courtyard door that had not been opened for many years, so it looked extraordinarily heavy.

As soon as the door opened, a gentle breeze suddenly blew from the courtyard along the open door hole on the body of Xiao Liu Yuanwai and his party.

At this time, Xiao Liu, who was originally anxious, had a big heart.

"What am I talking about, this small courtyard is indeed a good place to spend the summer and enjoy the night, right? Hurry up and clean up the yard, and after nightfall, I will drink and admire the moon in the pavilion in the courtyard! ”

Seeing Xiao Liu's order, the surrounding people scattered with a loud agreement, ready to clean up the small courtyard.

At this time, people realized that something was wrong: it had been 20 years since the courtyard was last opened, but why was there no overgrown weeds in the courtyard, as if someone often came to prune and clean it?

Could it be ...... Ghosts?!

As soon as they thought of the word "ghost", those subordinates with hoes and brooms suddenly became afraid, and they threw down their work one after another, and involuntarily retreated towards the gate of the courtyard step by step.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Liu was even more anxious, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to raise his voice to reprimand those subordinates who did not open their eyes.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from a window on the second floor of the wooden three-story attic in the courtyard, which was facing the courtyard door of the small courtyard, as if a group of people were chasing and playing in that room.

This frightened those people who were already weak-hearted, and the hoe and broom in their hands were thrown to the ground.

The cowardly and fearful scene of his subordinates completely stirred up the evil fire in Xiao Liu's heart, and he said that I want to see where the thieves came from and forcibly occupied the courtyard of my house.

After making up his mind, Xiao Liu reached out and took the roll call, taking the lead himself, leading a few bold servants with hoes in their hands to the second floor along the wooden stairs in the attic.

But the group was bold with hoes in hand, and slowly approached the noisy window.

When he touched the window, Xiao Liu quietly straightened up, put his eyes on the paperless window and looked in, and then he let out a "pout" and took a light breath.

I saw that there were more than a dozen "earth dogs" with fur of different colors of one or two feet long in the room, and you were chasing me and playing in the room.

Surprisingly, three of the dogs were significantly larger than the others, and the other dogs also implicitly respected the three.

From time to time, a small earth dog would stop playing, and the man would stand up, fold his two front leg paws together, and bow to the three earth dogs.

Looking at the three earth dogs at the head, one of them had to wear a black melon skin hat like a human, while the other was red like a human wearing a crumpled old green robe.

One of the most bizarre was the one with a white fur on his forehead, which looked like a dirt dog with white eyes from a distance.

It actually tucked both of its hind legs into a soap boot, and stood upright and jumped on the boot to jump into its pocket......

Seeing that the situation in the house was obviously beyond his own cognition, Xiao Liu did not dare to be reckless, raised his hand to move behind him, and at the same time stretched out a finger to his lips, tilted his head and signaled the servants behind him to quietly lean to the window to take a look at the room.

After everyone finished reading it one by one, Xiao Liu Yuanwai beckoned again, and led the people behind him to slowly climb down the attic.

When the group answered again near the courtyard gate, Xiao Liu glanced at everyone with his eyes: "What kind of monster is this attic that is playing tricks?" Do you have a way to get rid of it? ”

Xiao Liu asked when he said this, and all the family members immediately looked at each other: Young master, what's wrong? Those of us who are subordinates are not Taoist priests who have specialized in demon hunting spells, so how do we know how to crack it?

Just when everyone looked at me and I saw that you were silent, the crowd suddenly split to both sides, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked out: "Master Qiqi, the villain may have a way to get rid of this demon." ”

It turned out that this middle-aged family who walked out of the crowd was the servant who was punished by Master Liu for kneeling with incense because he lost his beard ring.

When he was upstairs to check the movement in the room, this person immediately recognized the shabby green robe that was worn by the red-haired earth dog man in the shape of a human, which was the one that the old beard wore on his body back then.

Only then did I know that the old bearded man who had suffered a lot was not a human being, and it should also be made of these earth dogs and other animal spirits, and now these earth dogs playing in the room are eighty percent of the old bearded dogs' grandsons.

In order to avenge the punishment of kneeling with incense, the man separated everyone with his hands and walked to Xiao Liu's side.

"Back to the master's words, the villain had also seen this kind of monster wearing human clothes as a demon back then. The villagers say that this is a fox who has become a fine and is wearing human clothes to learn from people, preparing to change into human appearance in the future and go out to harm people.

According to the villain's shallow opinion, now our attic yard is occupied by a group of fox spirits. ”

Hearing that it was the fox spirit who was causing trouble, Xiao Liu Yuanwai's face obviously had a trace of worry: "Then according to you, what should I do about this matter?"

I saw that the family man rolled his eyes, bowed down and walked to Xiao Liu Yuanwai and whispered: "The villain once heard that the firecrackers set off at the door of the house during the New Year's holiday are the mountain spirits and wild monsters that the ancestors hid in the house in order to rectify and expel them.

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, those demons and evil spirits fled without a trace. According to the villain, if you find a string of firecrackers and throw them into the second floor where the fox spirits are concentrated, you will definitely be able to achieve success in one fell swoop. ”

Xiao Liu nodded again and again when he heard this: "If you don't mention it, I almost forgot about it." Everyone in the world says that firecrackers are not only a year of shock, but since even a man-eating year beast can be scared away, it is reasonable to scare away a few fox spirits...... This plan is very good, you do it quickly, after the thing is completed, I will have a heavy reward. ”

The family Ding received Xiao Liu's order, and immediately went out to find a string of artillery battles, untied the twist in his hand, and quietly went upstairs again.

Squatting under the window on the second floor, the housekeeper took out a fire fold from his arms, pulled off the cover, gently blew out the velvet stuffed in the bamboo pipe, and then twisted it into the firecracker, and then lifted the burning firecracker, got up and pushed open the slightly closed window, and threw the firecracker into the room, and suddenly there was a burst of "crackling dong".

I only heard all kinds of "squeaky and whine" screams in the room, and from time to time there were a few "bang" muffled sounds of colliding with the wooden board wall, it seemed that the fox spirits in the room had become a mess, and they were all looking for their way to escape, but they kept hitting the wall everywhere.

When the family saw this, he "haha", and said in his heart that he suffered a big loss twenty years ago, and now he can be regarded as revenge.

The man was smirking when a dark shadow jumped out of the open window. That Ding was caught off guard, and was hit by this black shadow on the bridge of his nose, and his nose was immediately red, and he screamed in pain.

The family was taken aback, and quickly covered his nose with his hand, and when he stood up, he wanted to run downstairs, but the tears that flowed from the severe pain stuck all the eyelashes in his eyes, and in a hurry, the eyes could only open a slit.

As soon as he staggered two steps out of the narrow wooden staircase, he stepped into the air and fell down the staircase......
