It was a two-story farmhouse that looked pretty good from the outside, and there was a large courtyard surrounded by a wall in front of the building.

Li Bing was secretly surprised in her heart, this aunt raised her son alone, it should be very difficult, how could she afford to build such a small building in the middle and upper living standards of a rural family?

When she was about to arrive at the door, the aunt stopped and said embarrassedly: "A few nobles, this house was repaired before my man died, and my man was in business at that time and made a lot of money, and his small life at that time was still quite good." After the house was built, I was about to give birth to a son before I had time to decorate the interior, so the renovation work stopped. ”

"But who would have thought that just a few days after my son was born, the man would get a strange disease. The family's money was used up by the man for medical treatment, and he borrowed a lot of debts. Alas, in the end, I still couldn't save my man's life, I'm really miserable. A few nobles, my family is poor, there is nothing to entertain you, it just happened that yesterday I killed an old hen and stewed soup, and I will give everyone a hot chicken soup to warm up after a while. ”

Li Bing hurriedly said: "Auntie, you're welcome, we don't eat anything, let's take a look and leave." ”

The aunt said disappointedly: "You guys take a look and leave?" Zhang Daochang, you must help me, I only have such a child to snuggle up to my life, if something happens to him, I won't be able to live. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yuanshan to answer, Li Bing preemptively said: "Auntie, don't worry, you misunderstood what I meant." I mean, Brother Zhang will definitely help you, but I won't eat here anymore. Auntie, you stew chicken soup to entertain matchmakers, right? It's not easy for you to raise your son alone, so it's better to keep the chicken soup for the matchmaker. ”

The aunt smiled and said happily: "Zhang Daochang is willing to help me, then I will rest assured." In the countryside, there is still a flock of local chickens. You nobles don't shirk it, you don't want to eat, I don't have a whereabouts in my heart! ”

Shi Liya grinned and said: "The native chickens in the countryside are rich in nutrition!" Let's listen to my aunt, go drink chicken soup, and let Chairman Zhao pay for it. ”

Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but be amused, nodded, and held the aunt's arm affectionately.

The aunt pushed open the courtyard door, and everyone saw that as the aunt said, the inside and outside of the house were very different. From the outside, it looks like a solid family in the countryside, but the walls inside are not even plastered, and the bricks are exposed.

Although the house is shabby, it is cleaned up for the aunt. The aunt warmly invited a few people to sit down at the table of the Eight Immortals, and said with a smile: "A few distinguished guests, wait a while, I will go and serve the chicken soup hot." ”

The aunt turned around and shouted at the cement staircase: "Xiaozhu, you're here, don't be lazy, hurry downstairs to make tea for your guests." The aunt shouted as she walked, turned around and walked into the kitchen at the back.

After a while, I heard the crackling sound of firewood from the stove that is unique to the country, and a strong fragrance wafted from the kitchen.

There was a sound of dragging footsteps on the stairs, and a handsome young man with a thin body walked down the stairs with sleepy eyes, and shouted as he walked: "Mom, what kind of distinguished guest is here?" Hey, it's so fragrant chicken soup, Mom, hurry up and bring me a bowl. ”

At this time, the aunt also walked out of the back of the kitchen with a big pot of chicken soup, and pretended to be annoyed: "Xiaozhu, why did you get up?" Hurry up and boil water to make tea for a few distinguished guests from the city, this chicken soup is not your share. ”

The young man named Xiaozhu stuck out his tongue mischievously and said, "Mom, I know, I'll go boil water." ”

The aunt shouted again: "Xiaozhu, take out a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks in the cupboard, and let the distinguished guests taste the local chicken in my country." ”

Zhang Yuanshan shouted: "Auntie, don't boil water." Is your son's name Xiaozhu? You let Xiaozhu come over first, let me see. ”

The eldest aunt put a large pot of chicken soup in her hand on the table of the Eight Immortals, and shouted to the young man, "Xiaozhu, you have come to meet a few distinguished guests. This Zhang Daochang is a living immortal, he wants to show you the appearance. ”

Xiaozhu muttered: "Mom, I thought you were talking about who the distinguished guest was, it turned out to be a Taoist priest who ran the rivers and lakes to see his face!" Mom, I don't believe this, don't look at it, it's all blind. ”

The aunt scolded angrily with a dark face: "You little rabbit, talk nonsense again, see if your mother doesn't tear your mouth." Xiaozhu, come over to your mother and let Zhang Daochang take a good look. ”

Xiaozhu looked very filial, listened to his mother very much, and when he saw his mother's face, he didn't dare to come out, so he hurriedly came to everyone.

Li Bing said strangely: "Auntie, who is this little girl?" Why is Xiaozhu carrying her? ”

The aunt said inexplicably: "What girl?" My family depends on me and my son, where is the girl? Xiaozhu is obviously standing in front of us, what kind of girl is he carrying? ”

Zhao Wan'er also complained: "Li Bing, your joke is a bit excessive. Xiaozhu is very handsome, but he has a little burden on his back, how can you make fun of him carrying a girl on his back? ”

Li Bing didn't say a word, still staring at Xiaozhu. He said in a deep voice: "I'm not talking nonsense, Xiaozhu is indeed carrying a girl on his back. It's just that the girl's body will be in shape for a while, and her eyes are closed, as if she is dead. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Xiaozhu's mother was even more frightened, and her legs went limp, and she sat on the cold ground all of a sudden. Only Xiaozhu was unconscious, looking inexplicable, and quickly reached out and pulled his mother up.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanshan hurriedly took out the willow leaf cow tears from the package, smeared them on his eyes, glanced at the small pillar, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya and Qian Duoduo couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Zhang, what did you see?" Sure enough, as Li Bing said, is there a dead girl on Xiaozhu's back? ”

Zhang Yuanshan nodded silently, and several people were shocked. Zhao Wan'er said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhang, Xiaozhu is haunted by ghosts, you hurry up and think of a way to drive the ghosts away." ”

Xiao Zhu said angrily: "You charlatans, you charlatans, deliberately joined forces to talk nonsense to me. Do you know that I am about to get married, and my family has the bride price money for the woman, and I have set a trap to get my family's money? Get out of here, or I'll call the police." ”

Zhang Yuanshan said coldly: "Xiaozhu, haven't you been like this since you were a child?" ”

Xiao Zhu roared angrily: "What's the matter with you? I'm not a piggyback. It may be that I worked on the construction site for a year, and when I went home for the Chinese New Year, I suddenly relaxed, I felt back pain, and my body felt heavy, and I felt better when I bent over. ”
