Chapter 14: Trouble when you go out

Zhang Fanyang was frightened enough by this voice, and it was indeed not a glorious thing to climb over the wall, so he quickly stood up with a weak heart, and turned around to explain to the visitor.

But the wall of the courtyard was originally made of yellow mud and wood, which was not accidentally solid, and it was in disrepair, so it couldn't withstand his stepping on it at all.

Zhang Fanyang didn't even let people see his flattering smiling face, so he followed the entire wall towards the courtyard, only to hear a boom, and was stunned to stir up a yellow gray wall more than two meters high.

When the dust fell, Zhang Fanyang realized that this was a big deal.

The movement just now was so great that it caused the dogs in the village to bark wildly, and it also lit up the lights of all the houses in the village.

After shouting a few words, everyone rushed over with hoes and pickaxes one after another, looking at the posture, if it weren't for Zhang Fanyang raising his hands high and a flattering expression, he would definitely have been flattened by one person.

The man who held the stick before reacted first, hit the flashlight in his hand on Zhang Fanyang's face, pointed at him with the stick and asked, "You say, who are you?" Are you here to steal something? ”

Zhang Fanyang hurriedly smiled and took two steps forward to speak, but he tripped over a piece of wood under his feet, and the person fell into the pile of loess wall, and when he got up again, his mouth kept pouring mud out.

People looked at each other, and someone whispered, "I'm afraid this can't be a fool, right?" ”

His words were immediately agreed by the others, and everyone put down their farming tools one after another.

The man with the stick made a color at a few people next to him, and three or four strong men immediately came out of the crowd, entered the wall and dragged Zhang Fanyang to an open space.

"Yikes! What do you think is that on his waist? How is it that it is not a sharp knife or a long sword! He's not going to be a grave robber, is he? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone also noticed Zhang Fanyang's waist magic weapon, and the farm tool he had just put down was lifted again, but this time there was murderous aura on everyone's face.

Zhang Fanyang had stayed in the countryside, so he naturally knew that the tomb robbers in the countryside were the characters who would fight to the death if they were caught, and he was afraid that the villagers would hurt him by mistake, so he quickly raised his hands and shouted: "Villagers, why do you want to misunderstand, poor road...... Uh, poor monk...... Belch...... I am an exorcist who travels to the party, passing by Guibao Land and wanting to spend the night, and I am embarrassed to disturb you, so I want to find an abandoned house to make up for a night. Who would have thought that it would make an oolong and disturb everyone, the villain is really sorry.

But the two magic weapons on my waist are the relics of the villain's two masters, because my two masters are a monk, so they are a pestle on the one hand, and a peachwood sword on the other, which is definitely not obtained from tomb robbery, and you can take it to test it if you don't believe it. ”

After Zhang Fanyang finished speaking, he took out all the magic weapons on his waist, slowly put them on the ground, and motioned to the villagers to inspect them casually.

The man with the stick squinted at the two magic weapons on the ground, turned his head and glanced again, and a thin and withered old man emerged from the crowd.

The old man walked briskly, although he was old, he was not sluggish, and his eyes were shining, and he looked like a master who was deeply hidden.

I saw that he carefully picked up the demon pestle on the ground and looked at it first, then picked up the peachwood sword to look at the auspicious carefully, and finally put these two things under his nose and sniffed them, then turned around and brought the two magic weapons to the man with the stick, and shook his head at him.

The man with the stick then motioned to the two young men next to him to search Zhang Fanyang's body, but only took out half a dry steamed bun, a pile of colorful rune papers, a Taoist book and some unknown small bottles from him.

When they showed the thing in front of the stick-wielding man, the stick-wielding man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He first signaled the men to return all the things they found to Zhang Fanyang, and then said to everyone: "Okay, since it's a misunderstanding, forget it." My Lao Liu is here, thank you all for coming in time.

But tomorrow morning, everyone will have to work in the fields, so let's go home early to rest. ”

A man said uncomfortably when he heard this: "Village chief, then the wall of this courtyard ......"

The man glanced at the almost completely collapsed loess wall, sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, anyway, except for people who don't know, who else dares to enter that courtyard with long eyes." Let's all go back. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then glanced at Zhang Fanyang, who was "not long-eyed", before they all shook their heads and dispersed one after another.

After a while, most of the people in the open space had already left, except for Zhang Fanyang, only men, old men and a few sturdy men remained.

The man who was called the village chief saw that Zhang Fanyang had already packed all the things, so he arched his hand to him and said, "Little brother, I'm sorry, Liu Mou is so offended today." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Fanyang hurriedly returned the salute and bowed down again and again to apologize: "Village Chief, you are too polite, it is really the villain who has caused you trouble."

Not only did I knock down the wall of this courtyard, but I also disturbed the blind dates who ran out in the middle of the night, so I'm so sorry.

Why don't you find the owner of this courtyard wall and see how much money you have to pay for this courtyard wall? ……”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fanyang lowered his head and wanted to go to his waist to pay for the money, but remembered that he didn't have a penny on him, and continued embarrassedly, "Village chief, you see, my villain has just come out of school, and I really don't have any money on me, can you please discuss with the owner of the courtyard, let me stay and pay off the debt with work, and then build the courtyard wall?" ”

When the body was searched just now, the men didn't even find a dime after checking the soles of Zhang Fanyang's shoes, so the village chief also knew that what he said was true.

Thinking of Zhang Fanyang's expression of carefully putting away half of the steamed bun just now, he couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, so he said to him: "Look at your young man's sincere attitude, anyway, this yard is also from the old man's family, and the old man promised you for them, before the courtyard wall is built, you will stay in my house, no salary, but how about providing you with three meals a day and a place to stay." ”

As soon as he heard that people said that not only did he not let himself lose money, but also had food and shelter for him, Zhang Fanyang was so excited that he knelt down to thank him.

This made the village chief a little overwhelmed, and embarrassedly picked up Zhang Fanyang, who was already half kneeling, and motioned for him to go home with him.

But Zhang Fanyang was really embarrassed to trouble people again, so he pointed to the dilapidated house in the courtyard and said: "Village Chief, you are willing to provide food for the villain, which has made the villain grateful, how can the villain be embarrassed to go to your house to cause trouble." Since this courtyard is yours, let me stay in this courtyard for a few days......"

Who knew that before Zhang Fanyang finished speaking, Village Chief Liu interrupted him sharply and said, "No! You can't live here! ”

Seeing that the atmosphere froze, the old man next to him spoke: "Little brother, don't get me wrong, it's not that our village chief is reluctant to let go of this dilapidated house, the main reason is that this courtyard is very haunted, and there are several people who have accidentally broken into it and died tragically in it over the years, so the village chief locked the courtyard door and stopped outsiders from approaching." ”

"Haunted?"

Zhang Fanyang looked back at the dilapidated house in the courtyard in a daze, and then noticed that the house was surrounded by black fog, and there was a ghostly atmosphere.

"Haunted, it's good, it's an exorcist who specializes in subduing demons and eliminating demons. Before the two masters passed away and ascended to immortals, they specially instructed the villain to kill demons and monsters to ensure the health of all beings. It's better to let you go down to get rid of the evil ghosts in this house, and the village chief of the province will worry about this again......"

Who knew that Village Chief Liu was not optimistic about his ambition at all, his face changed, and he shook his sleeves and said, "What kind of evil ghosts do you think you can descend from a fledgling hairy boy?" You don't have to worry about the things here, you can honestly repair your wall, and get out of here when you're done!

If you don't want to live in my house, forget it.

Old Li Tou, anyway, you live in your house as an old bachelor, and this little cub will take you to stay at home.

You've taken care of him, and if he runs away, you'll build me a courtyard wall!" ”

After saying this, the village chief turned around and left in a huff.

When the young men saw this, they each waved at the old man and dispersed.

Lao Li Tou watched the village chief's back disappear into the night, sighed lightly, and then walked in the opposite direction with his hands behind his back.

After walking a few steps, he found that Zhang Fanyang was still in place, so he turned his head and said, "Let's go, people won't let you go, don't worry about that, let's mess with my bad old man for a few days." ”

Zhang Fanyang really didn't understand that he volunteered to help exorcise evil spirits, but how could he make the village chief change his face in an instant.

Looking back at the direction of the ghost in the courtyard, Zhang Fanyang secretly made up his mind that he must take advantage of the few days of rebuilding the courtyard wall to find an opportunity to get rid of the powerful ghosts entrenched here.
