The courtyard was cloudy and windy, and the moonlight, which was not very bright in the sky, was obscured by dark clouds, and it was completely invisible.

And this makes the fire brighter and brighter. The red fire in the stove stained the small courtyard, and the light passed through the hideous-looking evil ghost, covering it with a layer of gold, and then passing through the figure of the evil ghost was a wisp of light printed on Mr. Peng's face, as if a handful of mercury had been sprinkled on his face.

The evil ghost screamed and pounced, and Mr. Peng put his hand on the ground, fluttered away from the futon like a feather, and flew backwards for several feet, and his feet landed firmly on the ground.

The demon threw itself into the air, turned into a cloud of black smoke, and then turned towards the tiger. But Huzi still sat cross-legged on the ground and did not move. He pointed at the sword in his hand, sandwiched a purple rune paper in it, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly upward, and shouted at the rushing smoke: "Ambush!" ”

With this shout, the rune paper was actually hanging in the air! At this time, the boiling smoke was no more than one step away from Huzi! When it was too late, Huzi stretched out his left thumb and put it on the gall, and the smoke seemed to hit an invisible wall, and he couldn't get an inch.

Not only can't he suddenly enter Huzi's side, but the smoke can't go even if he wants to! It's like a monster in the Monkey King Kong circle, scurrying around left and right, but he can't move and can't get out, and is trapped in a radius of no more than three feet.

Mr. Peng nodded, took a step forward, closed his eyes slightly, pinched the trick in his hand, and read: "The body has been made into a white bone view, and the soul refuses to resolve the grudge." Where to wander the world, the harm party is guilty. If you solve a plan, no one will protect you for thousands of years. A pillar of fragrance and an oath to turn me into a puppet to go to the sky. ”

After reciting the incantation, when he opened his eyes again, Mr. Peng's eyes were only white, his pupils were nowhere to be seen, and there was not even a single bloodshot, which was like two beads of mutton fat and white jade embedded in his eye sockets.

Mr. Peng was facing the firelight, even if the light was reflected on him through the black mist, his shadow should have been left behind by the elder stretch. But now the shadow swam in front of him, little by little, towards the bound smoke. The smoke seemed to feel great fear, and it became more and more restless in the three-foot square "King Kong Circle", and the sharp wail was as high as a loud one.

As the shadow on the ground approached the smoke, a small piece began to differentiate and become the shape of a fish. They are as free and agile as the masonry of the ground and the surface of the water. As they approached the smoke, they leaped out of the ground like a carp leaping into water, and jumped into the smoke, making the smoke let out an even more terrible howl, and then falling back to the ground, the color became more deep, and swam back into Mr. Peng's shadow.

In this way, the more and more a quarter of an hour passed, and the wailing from the smoke gradually subsided, and then fell completely silent. The smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the appearance of a fat old man again, but the fierceness was gone.

The old man looked around blankly, as if he wanted to speak, but no sound came out. Mr. Peng smiled and took out a paper figure from the purse on his waist and threw it over. As soon as the paper man touched the old man, the old man's figure was like snow on fire, and it melted away in an instant, leaving only one paper man to fall to the ground.

Huzi stepped forward to pick up the paper figure and gently dusted off the dust on it. The paper figure was originally only in the shape of a human being, but it gradually emerged in the hands of the tiger in a well-dressed costume, and his facial features were the same as the fat old man of Shicai. Huzi said to the paper man: "This master, you lived here first, and our master and apprentice turned your evil qi before you came out to harm people, this is your creation." One day you use the magic tool, and you will be soul-transformed into nature. Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry......"

Mr. Peng took the paper figure from Huzi's hand, smoothed it and put it back in his purse. Looking up at the mess in the small courtyard, the wood under the stove was almost burned, and the firelight was dimmed, Mr. Peng waved his hand: "It's late at night, you go back to sleep, I'll clean it up here." ”

Nothing was said all night.

The master and apprentice were tossed until midnight last night, so they didn't get up until three poles to eat today. When he arrived at the East Chamber, Huzi brought the food to the kang table, scalded another cup of wine, and respectfully served it to Mr. Peng: "Master, drink." ”

Mr. Peng took the wine cup and took a sip and said, "Yo, Master Peng poured me wine?" Rare! If there's anything, let's talk about it. Huzi smiled innocently: "It's okay." ”

Mr. Peng looked at Huzi for a while, and Huzi just looked at Mr. Peng and smirked.

"Oh? It's okay," Mr. Peng was amused, "since you said it's okay, then it's okay." ”

Huzi couldn't be happy when he heard this, so he hurriedly grabbed Mr. Peng's sleeve: "Don't mind, Master, there's something." ”

Mr. Peng put down the wine cup and turned his head: "You little rabbit cub is less beaten, let's talk." ”

"Master," Huzi said, "I made an appointment with Gouzi and Xiao Jiu last morning, and I'll go out to play today." Master, today's homework ......"

Mr. Peng put down the wine cup, straightened his face and said, "Why didn't you come and ask me when you met them yesterday?" Believe in others first, and then seek to trust others, do you say that you are wrong? ”

When Huzi heard this, he immediately squatted down and hugged his head: "I was wrong, Master, I don't dare anymore." ”

Mr. Peng sighed when he saw Huzi like this, and said in his heart that this kid is really beating the skin, and I don't know how many times I have heard this sentence "I don't dare again", and it is not that he has been causing trouble outside for three days. "Go ahead," Mr. Peng smiled helplessly, "If you go to the mountains to play, pick some nightshade for me and come back to make medicine." ”

"Thank you, Master!" Huzi jumped up with joy, and he didn't have the appearance when he was right. Seeing this, Mr. Peng shook his head helplessly, still drinking and eating porridge.

While the master and apprentice were talking, there was a knock on the door. Huzi put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out to answer the door, and before he reached the door, he saw a thin boy climbing on the big locust tree outside the courtyard that was high above the courtyard wall, which seemed to be the same age as Huzi. This child has thin cheeks and a long face, and gives birth to a delicate girl, if it weren't for the half bald head and sparse yellow pigtails, she would really be someone's girl.

When the young man saw Huzi, he grinned, revealing two rows of bright and snow-white broken rice teeth: "Huzi, let's play with you, open the door." ”

When Huzi saw him climbing on the tree, he shouted in a panic: "Xiao Jiu, you come down for me, that tree can't be climbed!" I don't care if I get into trouble with you when I go home! ”

The boy named Xiao Jiu shuddered when he heard this, and said cruelly while climbing down from the tree: "Huzi, you dare to scare your grandfather!" Look at how I clean you up when you open the door! Huzi opened the door and saw Xiao Jiu jumping down from the tree, and there were two children, a man and a woman, standing behind Xiao Jiu. He was a little surprised when he saw it, and stretched out his hand to touch the head of the chubby boy outside the door: "Dog, did you bring Sister Lingzhi out today?" ”

This chubby little boy named Zhao Xiaogou, who just turned ten years old this year, is the son of Boss Zhao in the largest grocery store in the city, and has a quarter of the flag man blood. This Boss Zhao married a wife of eighteen, but the stomach of the main room was not angry, and he did not come out for more than ten years. Boss Zhao married two concubines before he hugged his son at the age of forty, which can be regarded as an old man! For this little doll, Boss Zhao is obedient - he is afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of falling off when he holds it in his hand. But there is one thing: the fortune teller said that this child was not rich and noble in his young years, and there were some family members who had to take a name to support him. That's why this rich young master got the nickname of a dog, and he had to be called until he became an adult before he could change his name to tuba.

As for the girl named Lingzhi, although she is still a child, she also looks like an adult, she is fifteen years old this year, and she is a married yellow flower girl - she is Zhao Xiaogou's child daughter-in-law! Lingzhi's real name is not Lingzhi, but Qiuni, but her mother-in-law changed her name after marrying Zhao Xiaogou. But since the tiger knew her, she has been screaming as a Lingzhi sister.

This girl is not good-looking or ugly, and she is not very tall according to a fifteen-year-old girl, but her eyes are very smart, and she is so pleasing. She wore a short gown with her arms exposed like a boy, and a small bun on her head, symbolizing that she was a married man. The most rare thing is that this is a little girl with heavenly feet, who has never wrapped her feet, so she can follow this group of half-sized children to run all over the mountains.

"Huzi, you just scared your grandfather?" Xiao Jiu looked at Huzi's eyes and was not on him, and he reached out to grab Huzi's pigtails.

Huzi raised his hand to clasp Xiao Jiu's wrist, and when he took a wrong step and raised his arm, Xiao Jiu was unsteady and wanted to fall backwards. Huzi's other hand went down through his crotch and grabbed Xiao Jiu's thigh, and as soon as he lifted his shoulder, he carried the thin boy on his shoulder, and walked towards the courtyard step by step.

"You just said, who's who's who's grandpa?" Huzi asked playfully while tossing around, "Say, who is the grandfather?" ”

Xiao Jiu was tormented by Huzi on his shoulders, and begged for mercy: "Brother Huzi! Tiger Lord! You're the master, right? Waist waist waist! My waist is going to break! Master Hu, put me down! ”

Huzi was patted on the head during the play, and when he looked up, Mr. Peng was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back and looking at himself. Huzi was startled, and hurriedly let go of Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu and the dog bent down at Mr. Peng, and Lingzhi said a thousand blessings.

"Come here, dog," Mr. Peng squatted down and beckoned to the dog, "stick your tongue out and show me." ”

The dog ran two steps in front of Mr. Peng, opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue. Mr. Peng held the dog's chin and asked him to look up, and in the sun, he could see a thin black line on the dog's tongue, like a small loach writhing around.

"Almost," Mr. Peng nodded, and took out a talisman from his pocket button, "Lingzhi, you bring this back to your father-in-law, and tomorrow at noon the river water and this talisman ash will be swallowed by the dog, and this black loach will die, and there will be no more problems in the future." ”

Lingzhi stepped forward and took the talisman paper with both hands, put it into his arms with a cherished heart, and said again: "Thank you, Mr. Peng, for your kindness." ”

Mr. Peng waved his hand and straightened up: "Huzi, you can play with them after you finish drinking the porridge, don't forget the nightshade I want." Hu Zile replied and ran to the backyard with a group of children. Mr. Peng looked at the backs of the four children and felt a little embarrassed, Huzi has never been able to find a playmate with such a character who is close to ghosts and gods, but he has friends in the past year.

The dog was blinded by the cat and lost his soul. Boss Zhao came to the door, and Mr. Peng summoned the soul and tied the thread with a black loach, which can be regarded as preserving the child's wisdom. I never thought that this child and Huzi played together, and they called Huzi brother. Boss Zhao didn't have so many taboos, and the master and apprentice had just saved the life of their baby son, so Zhao Xiaogou followed Huzi's buttocks and shook his head blindly. Lingzhi is a dog's child daughter-in-law, and she doesn't have much to do with her peers, so she can naturally play together. As for Xiao Jiu, since his grandfather's generation, his family has been singing artists in the theater - Peking Opera, big opera! is different from the field where the two of them turned, and there is only one in the entire Changtu Mansion. But it's also a business that makes people happy, and it's a ninth-rate, who can you look down on!

"Mr. Peng! Mr. Peng, help! Suddenly, there was such a breathless shout outside the door. Mr. Peng was stunned. When I walked to the door, I saw a young man in a burlap with a burlap and a short coat panting.

The coarse linen towel saw Mr. Peng take a few steps and knelt down in front of Mr. Peng's feet, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Mr. Peng, help!" Mr. Peng, save my mother! Mr. Peng......"

Mr. Peng hurriedly picked up the young man, and when he looked closely, he saw that the man's face was red and sweating profusely. Mr. Peng stretched out his hand and tapped the man's sandalwood, and then turned his hand and patted it between his chest and abdomen, and the coarse linen towel came up in one breath.

"Don't worry!" Mr. Peng smoothed the young man's breath, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can tell me something slowly." ”

"Mr. Peng, my mother let something get on you!" The coarse linen towel said hurriedly, "Zhang Daxian'er said that this thing is an old ghost who has killed people!" My mother started talking nonsense in the middle of the night last night, and cut people with knives and sticks, and four or five young men held my mother down and tied up! Mr. Peng, please come down the mountain with me. ”

Mr. Peng was surprised: "Zhang Daxian'er went, can't handle it?" ”

"I don't know," said the burlap towel, "Zhang Daxian said to let me go up the mountain to find you, and let you go down the mountain to have a look." ”

Mr. Peng did not hesitate when he heard this, turned around and entered the courtyard and shouted: "Huzi! Pack up your things and follow me down the mountain, there's dirty work today! Huzi, who had not finished half a bowl of porridge in the east chamber, was stunned at first when he heard the sound of drinking in the front yard, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks and opened the sandalwood box in the corner to clean up his things.
