Volume 1 Spring Bamboo Shoots Chapter 59 The Legend of the Mandrill

I had just finished my work, and the drunkards came to me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info He said hello to Uncle Liang and pulled me out of the yard. Uncle Liang knew that I had learned the magic from Daddy Nan, and it was obvious that the drunkard liked me, and he was happy to let me learn more, and he had no objection to our relationship.

I've been staying at Uncle Liang's house since I accompanied Uncle Liang to the Secret Cave that night. Guan Boniang specially cleaned up a side room for me to sleep in, and kept food from time to time, but any little bit of delicious food was left for me. Completely treated me as a member of her family.

One night I ate too many pickles for dinner, I was thirsty in the middle of the night, I got up and went to the kitchen to drink water, and heard the faint voices of Uncle Liang and Uncle Guan who had not yet slept:

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ During the summer vacation, the two girls were at home, and they had already eaten the vinegar of the red lady, saying that you have an apprentice and don't even want a daughter. ā€

"What else do they say? As soon as you come back, you mothers and daughters are tired of being together all day long, how have you ever been intimate with me?"

"You're jealous too, aren't you? The girls have become big girls, how can they still be tired of being by your side like a child? What's more, you always pretend to be serious with a straight face, and the sisters are afraid of you, who is the master, hehe......"

"What are you afraid of? I'm not a tiger. I have never scolded the two of them since they were children?"

"Hey, Fan Liang, it would be nice if the red lady was our son! ā€¦ā€¦ā€

"Say what? Cranky again. Sleep, don't talk about it. ā€

"Hey, I ask you?, I didn't give birth to a son for you, do you regret marrying me?"

"Look you're here again. There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it. Is it compelled to have children? Then I ask you, do you regret that you gave up your city and your job and suffered with me in the country? ā€

"I don't regret it! I do! ā€

"That's not over. Okay, okay, it's in their forties, and it's so sour that people don't laugh to death when they hear it......"

I held my breath, returned to the house with my hands and feet, and lay on the bed for a long time without falling asleep. Failing to give birth to a son may really be the regret of their lives......

Under the strong request of the villagers, he secretly did a magic thing in the sixth team to resolve the anger of Wang Xiaoying's fierce spirit, and at the request of the parents of the girls who were frightened on the mountain that day, they recited spells and drew talismans for them to collect and catch the fetus, and they were busy for a while to appease everyone.

It was the drunkard and me who didn't settle down. Because of the safety of Xinghua Village, the drunkard has looked for me many times, all about mandrills, and he asked me to work with him to find the traces of mandrills as soon as possible.

I never knew what the mandrill was, but it was a ghost. The drunkard said that the mandrill is the king of mountain ghosts, and likes to incarnate as an ape, but it is not an ape, in fact, it is a mountain spirit, also called a mountain spirit, and it is customary to call it a mountain mandrill or mountain ghost. It is the overlord of the mountains and forests, the "snake of the land".

It is rumored that mandrills are divided into male and female, and there are good and evil. Gong Xiao has a changeable temperament, is fierce and cruel, and takes pleasure in confusing the life and death of animals in the mountains, but generally does not harm the mountain people and does not hurt people's lives. It is extremely difficult to deal with when it is violent, and often causes accidents and takes people's lives.

The mother loves to play pranks and deal with humans, and it also has the name "Greeting Ghost". It is said that people with "burly" stars in the eight characters of mortal life are specially recruited by Mu Xiao, and there are often many unexpected joys.

For example, you can always pick up belongings when you walk, not much, enough for a meal and drink, which can make you have a little surprise. "Yingxiao Ghost" is good at carrying Dafa, and the most famous is to carry the eggs of birds in the mountains or other people's eggs to your home, so that your family always has endless eggs. But there is a rule, you can only eat it for yourself, and you can't exchange it for money. As long as you are greedy and sell it, it will no longer patronize your house.

There are many rumors about mandrills in the countryside, and in the early years, I heard Zeng Xianjing say something when chatting and talking nonsense in the consignment store. He said that his father (grandfather) once went into the mountains to cut down trees, and when he was tired, he sat by the tree and smoked, and threw the axe aside, and when he got up after smoking and was about to cut down the tree, the axe was gone, and he could not find it. Thinking that there was no one in the mountain, the axe could not walk, and it must have been hidden by the mandrill, so he shouted to the air, saying that which one hid the axe and returned it quickly, and when the tree was cut down and sold for money, he would definitely honor the chicken butt. The mandrill was delicious, and when he heard that there was a chicken butt, he gave him back the axe, and when he turned around, he saw the axe lying by the tree. Later, he forgot about it, Mo went to buy chicken butt filial piety, and when he entered the mountain again, the axe fell, and he didn't find it even if he made a wish, and he fell down, and he didn't heal for a long time, he regretted it, and died half a year later.

Zeng Xianjing said that he was seven or eight years old when his father died, and he heard what his father said, and before his father died, he specially told them not to make a wish easily, and if they made it, they must fulfill it, otherwise they will be retributed.

There are many rumors, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but there is one point, that is, all those who are teased by mandrills are generally low in yang fire, bad luck, and will have many disasters and diseases. But very few people have ever seen the mandrill's original form, and no one can say exactly what it looks like.

For this reason, I specifically asked the alcoholics. He said he hadn't seen it either, which drove me crazy. According to Master Yang and Chen Zhuxiu, the fairy mother-in-law, the horror incident I encountered last year was all done by the mandrill mandrill, which was extremely unfavorable to me according to the legend, so I also wanted to find it and avenge the teases and intimidation of it.

The drunkard took me around the village, and after a while, I said to the drunkard:

"Since we don't know what the ghost looks like, and it's good at changing, what's the use of us wandering around like this?"

The drunkard laughed, "It's useless. The places where the mandrills hide and pass through must be cold and cold, you can feel it. It's just a bit of luck, maybe the blind cat will run into a dead mouse! Hehe...... Forget it, go home, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, go to my house and sit. ā€

After speaking, I couldn't help but say, and the tyrannical pulled me to his house. He happily instructed his wife Gu Xiaoyu to scramble an egg, grabbed a large handful of fried peanuts, pulled me to sit on the small table in the yard, poured me a small cup of fire wine, and said with a smile:

"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. It's really tasteless to drink alone, tonight and the Mid-Autumn Festival, drink a little with me, there is no man who can't drink, and it's a joke when you say it, isn't it?! ā€

It was nearly ten o'clock in the night, and the people in his family had not rested. His grandchildren were all younger than me, seven or eight years old, looking at me in surprise and curiosity, and I smiled bitterly and said, "Daddy Chaokuan, I'm only eleven years old, and I'm not a man. ā€

"Eleven years old is not too young, you are going to do big things in the future, make friends, how can you mix without drinking? Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls with amber light. But that the master may be drunk, and he will not know where it is. What a pleasant life it would be, if you think about it?! What's more, tea is to cleanse troubles, and wine is to forget worries. It shows that this wine is indeed a good thing, and you have to learn to drink from now on,"

As he spoke, he drank two glasses in a row. I haven't drunk alcohol, I often see adults drinking vigorously, and we occasionally drink secretly. I took a sip from my cup. There is a hint of bitterness in the spicy, a little choking in the throat, and there is really no good taste. I stuck out my tongue and let out a sigh of relief, and the drunkard laughed:

"Now you feel unpleasant, and after a while you feel comfortable. Li Bai said: The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinkers left their names......"

Before the tirade was finished, the wine glass in his hand had been snatched away by Gu Xiaoyu who came out of the house. reprimanded him and said: "You old thing knows how to pour horse urine from morning to night, and you have to bring bad people to the red man for the old disrespectful." Red boy, don't listen to his nonsense, tobacco and alcohol are not good things, don't learn from him. ā€

The wine maniac's wine glass was robbed, and he was so anxious that he jumped up and shouted: "Hey, hey, Lei Gong doesn't beat the diners." Robbing my wine glass is robbing my grains, don't you still want to remarry, old woman? Seventy or eighty, who will ask Deputy Changsheng (local dialect, coffin) to go back to ......"

He was talking nonsense as he grabbed the wine. Gu Xiaoyu was obviously angry with his nonsense, and refused to give him a wine glass.

People are old and shrunk, especially men, and the drunkard in his sixties looks much shorter than Gu Xiaoyu, and the old monkey jumps around her.

Gu Xiaoyu watched him turn around, and scolded with a smile in her mouth: "You old thing is dead, I will remarry immediately." A woman is a treasure, and if someone asks for it at the age of eighty, I don't believe that if you don't leave you, the butcher will have to eat a hairy pig......"

Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, what kind of pot and what kind of handle. There are indeed very few old people who joke and play like this.

I couldn't help but laugh, and with a "poof", a sip of the wine I had just drunk in my mouth squirted out. A few little tricks in the yard clapped their hands and giggled silly. It seems that this scene is often staged in their family, and the little tricks are used to it.

At this time, his son Li Youxin came out of the house, his face was full of embarrassment, and his face was warm: "I said how old you are and how young you are, you are still in shape, you are really not afraid of people's jokes......

I couldn't help laughing, took a sip of the wine in my toast, and quickly walked away. The drunkard shouted urgently in the courtyard: "Don't go, red lady, I still have something to tell you!" ā€

Without looking back, I replied, "I'll come back tomorrow and talk about it tomorrow." ā€

After walking a long way and turning a corner, thinking about the scene just now, I really couldn't help it, and squatted on the side of the road and laughed.
