This old lady must know something! The fat man walked out of the alley and turned back to the old lady's stall, but he ...... The stall was empty, and the old lady was nowhere to be seen. From the time the fat man turned into the alley to the time the fat man returned to the stall, in less than two minutes, the slow old lady disappeared like this.

The fat man hurried back to the inn and met the mother and son.

"Xiao Xi, what's going on, how did your paper tigers and paper eagles become real tigers and eagles? He also killed people in the street. ”

"Huh? What are you talking about, Dad? My paper eagle isn't ......" Xiao Xi pretended to be stupid, raised his hand and grabbed the air above his head, "Huh? And what about my paper eagle, isn't it on my head? ”

"No, that's not right," said the fat man, "I saw the paper eagle with my own eyes that the paper eagle had become a real eagle, and the blood-stained paper tiger in the alley belonged to Sister Hu." Ten **, the biting tiger on the street is the paper tiger that Sister Hu has become. After biting someone, it hid in the alley and turned into a paper tiger again, so sister, there is blood on your paper tiger. ”

Miss Xiaohu's eyes rolled, her right hand clenched into a fist, slapped the palm of her left hand, and nodded, "Brother, you said that...... I remembered that I put the paper tiger on the old lady's small table, and when the tiger jumped out and bitten someone, it seemed to jump out of the small table. Wow! Is it really my paper tiger that has become a real tiger? This is too ...... "I don't know whether to say it's magical or weird, how can a paper tiger become a real tiger and bite people to death?"

The fat man lowered his head and pondered, gritting his teeth, "That old lady is gone, I'm afraid we have to go to Chu's house to find the answer to this matter." Let's go, without further ado, and while the gates are still closed, we'll go out of the city. ”

When a few people came to Chu's house, the fat man didn't knock on the door, and walked directly into the courtyard. Three people walked into the courtyard here, and three people came out of the hall. The Chu family ran to the fat man, knelt on the ground and bowed, bowed three times and knocked nine times, and shouted in their mouths: "Thank you to the three great benefactors." After kowtowing, he still knelt on the ground, unwilling to get up for a long time.

The fat man stretched out his hand and lifted Brother Chu's shoulder, "Brother Chu, what does this mean?" Get up and talk, get up and talk! ”

Brother Chu pushed away the fat man's hand, led his wife and sister, and performed the big salute of three bows and nine bows again, before standing up and inviting the fat man and them into the hall to wait for tea.

The fat man asked Brother Chu what was going on, the paper tiger and paper eagle that his sister-in-law gave to Xiao Xi and Xiao Hu turned out to be a real tiger and a real eagle, killing people on the street.

The Chu family lowered their heads and did not answer. Invite the fat man and they to sit down in the hall, Brother Chu turned his head and said, "At home, pour tea for a few benefactors." ”

"Huh?" The fat man was puzzled, "Brother Chu, I remember...... Your family is not ...... No fire or water? When we stayed here, we didn't eat or drink, why did you drink tea today? ”

Brother Chu laughed, "Benefactor, we will only live to this day!" ”

"Ahh What do you mean by that? ”

……

The Chu family's parents died early, and the elder brother Chu Suning and the younger sister Chu Suyan depended on each other. Originally, the family had some savings and lived in this courtyard with a large courtyard. Chu Suyan's daughter, cutting paper and painting in the boudoir, learned a few crafts that everyone should have. As the eldest son in the family, Chu Suning studied poetry and books hard to gain fame. But after the death of his parents, the burden of life was weighed

On the elder brother Chu Suning.

The mountains of gold and silver are also empty mountains. It is extremely difficult to determine the fame of the exam, and some people have taken the exam all their lives, but they have not made a small official. If Chu Suning only reads sage books and the family's savings are spent, then the brother and sister will have a hard life. Chu Suning has a resolute personality, but she is not afraid of hardship, but she feels sorry for her sister, for fear that her sister will suffer with her, and she will be ashamed of her parents' spirit in the sky.

Therefore, his brother Chu Suning gave up his career, relying on his youth and strength, doing chores everywhere, and running around for a living. I don't have the idea of being an official in my heart, as long as I can make money every day, let my sister live a worry-free life, treat my sister and Lu, and then find a wishful husband for her, Chu Suning has nothing else to ask for.

My sister Chu Suyan likes to cut paper, and with a piece of paper, she can make all kinds of gadgets, and she is also ingenious, and the things made of paper are lifelike. The elder brother doted on his sister, and the two decorated the house and yard with the paper crafts made by his sister, and the whole yard was full of his sister's masterpieces.

Two years ago, when his brother Chu Suning went to the city to work, he heard the news that the city was about to hold a paper flower exhibition, so he went home to tell his sister. Her younger sister Chu Suyan participated in the paper flower exhibition with confidence and successfully won the first place. At that time, the first place in the paper flower exhibition had a prize of 100 taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver, for Chu Suyan, is a lot of money, I didn't expect to come to the competition and get so much money home, my brother will be very happy to see it! Chu Suyan couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

At that time, the general director of the paper flower exhibition was a squire. After the paper flower exhibition, the squire awarded Chu Suyan a prize of one hundred taels of silver, and sent a few people to escort Chu Suyan home.

Chu Suyan went home, and how the brother and sister celebrated happily did not mention it. said that this squire sent someone to send Chu Suyan home, not simply for the sake of Chu Suyan's safety, but also for other purposes to know Chu Suyan's address.

When I saw Chu Suyan at the paper flower exhibition, she was beautiful and her craftsmanship was exquisite, and this squire thought, if this was my daughter-in-law, how good it would be. As a father, it is normal for people to hope to have a good daughter-in-law. However, the son of this squire is not a weapon, he is idle all day long, and he is contaminated with the bad habits of a gentleman, and he is a complete loser.

After the squire learned Chu Suyan's address, he often called the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage. Brother Chu Suning has long heard that the squire's son is a loser, how can he let his sister live with such a person?

The matchmaker ran again and again, so to say, this thing didn't work. The squire was very annoyed and brought someone to the door himself. Without saying a word, he went into the house and dragged Chu Suning into the courtyard, and several people surrounded him and beat him severely. The squire threatened Chu Suyan, "If you enter the door of my house, we will be a family, we will have food and clothing, and your brother will not have to do chores everywhere; If you don't agree, hehe, I'm afraid your brother won't be able to stand being beaten every day. ”

beat Chu Suning to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he threw him on the ground, and the squire went back.

Her younger sister Chu Suyan sat aside and wiped her tears, choked up and speechless. Chu Suning said: "Sister, don't be frightened by him, we are helpless, but we will never rely on people like him!" We can't help him, can't the government control him? Don't be afraid, when my brother enters the city tomorrow, beat the drum and complain! ”

As mentioned in the previous document, the government still has to rely on the squire, and befriend the squire, how can it offend the squire? Chu Suning went to sue, and the result can be imagined. In the government again

After receiving forty boards, Chu Suning held on to the wall all the way home, hating and despairing in his heart. When she returned home, her sister saw her brother's appearance, and tears rained down and said, Otherwise, she would have married her to prevent her brother from suffering.

Chu Suning's teeth were about to crush, and he clenched his fists, "Sister! Shut up! If you marry that kind of person, my brother will be worse than dead! You go now, go elsewhere for a few days, and my brother will take you home after taking care of this matter. ”

My sister was very worried about my brother, but in the end I listened to my brother and went to my brother's friend's house to avoid it for a few days. Chu Suning was left alone in the Chu family, sharpening the dagger in the room. I have thought about it a long time, it is impossible to succumb to obscenity and marry my sister, and it is impossible to be beaten and bullied every day.

On this day, the squire came with a group of people to force relatives again, it was still the old rule, not much to say, and when he went in, he pulled Chu Suning out and beat him. The hands of the few who beat people were sore, and then they stepped aside. The squire looked at Chu Suning with disdain, stepped forward and stepped on Chu Suning's head, and asked, "Hmph, your sister, do you want to marry or not?" Haven't thought about it yet? ”

Chu Suning's eyes widened angrily, "Think about it!" He drew his dagger from behind his waist, grabbed the squire's foot, and stabbed it upward.

After two or three stabs, the people next to him came up and beat him again, and the dagger was thrown aside. Chu Suning had only one thought in his heart, killing this squire! was beaten, Chu Suning didn't care about the pain in his body, he just got up and wanted to pick up the dagger to kill.

How could the person next to him let him pick up the dagger again? Not to mention protecting the squires, they also have to protect themselves. The harder Chu Suning was beaten, the stronger the killing intent in his heart, his legs were lame, and he was still rubbing the dagger. Either way, he insisted on getting the dagger. These bits are also anxious, they were scared and scared before, but now they are really beating to the death.

If Chu Suning fell down and didn't move, the beaters would have stopped, but Chu Suning was too stubborn, and as soon as he kicked him to the ground, he arched his back again and crawled towards the dagger, as if as long as he didn't kill him, he would have to pick up the dagger. Outcome...... At a distance of five centimeters from the dagger, Chu Suning fell, forever, staring at the dagger in front of him, dead and blind.

Chu Suyan waited for two days, but she didn't see her brother coming. Feeling uneasy, he returned to his home. When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw my brother's stiff body......

The sky is white, and if you can't marry a people's daughter, you will beat my brother to death, there is really no royal law in the world, and there is no justice! Chu Suyan ran to the yamen to beat the drum and voice the grievances. The silly girl still believes in the justice of the world, but the world has long been complicit. After receiving the official to see his brother's body, the official said: "Okay, since your brother is dead, then no one will object to this marriage, just so you can get married!" This is a happy event, hurry up and get ready to be a bride. ”

That night, Chu Suyan moved all the paper crafts she had made over the years to the courtyard, carefully arranged them, and hung two red lanterns outside the courtyard gate. Chu Suyan lay next to her brother and committed suicide by cutting her wrists.

Chu Suyan's pocket contains three pieces of paper, which are small paper figures she cut out. She was not accompanied by her parents and was lonely, so she cut out these three little paper figures, treated these three little paper figures as relatives, and poured out her heart to the little paper figures.

Chu Suyan's blood dripped onto the little paper man. After Chu Suyan's death, the three little paper figures lived......
