The thin black man said, "It's just that this farmer is a little weird...... I wonder if they'll let you stay overnight?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "It's a little weird?"

The black thin old man said, "They are all weirdos! Legend has it that there are cases of travelers dying in their homes!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Could it be a black shop? the kind that specializes in killing rich travelers!"

The black thin old man said: "It's not a 'black shop', it can only be said to be a 'strange shop', and their family is doing those inexplicable strange things, which makes people quite unbearable......"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "How weird is it, is there that bull monster?"

Ah Niu said angrily: "You don't want your husband (nonsense) to say, what kind of behaving (weird) am I? I can't say it, I'm pinching you like an ant!"

Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "There is nothing (weird) about it, it's just that the speech is a little obedient (weird), and yes (wild) is full of taste, with the most original idiot (beginning) fun!"

Ah Niu scratched his head and said, "What are you talking about?

The men who carried the coffin finally couldn't help it and laughed, laughing so hard that the coffin jumped up and down and almost fell off.

The black thin old man said: "How strange that family is, in fact, I don't know very well, I haven't been to them, but I have heard about ......."

"I heard they were slept standing, staring!" said one of the people carrying the coffin.

"Also, they eat shit for food!" said another man.

"They like to dig tunnels in their homes!"

"They learn how to bark at night with cats and dogs!"

“......”

“......”

The black thin old man said concludingly: "In short, they are freaks, they do all kinds of strange things, you better go and do something else!"

There is nothing wrong with their good intentions, but the fault is that they have told so many strange things, this is really incredible, Tao Xiaozhi's curiosity was aroused, and it burned brightly! If his curiosity was not satisfied, then his heart would burn more and more until he went crazy!

"Then I have to go!" Tao Xiaozhi raised his hands and shouted excitedly, "It's so interesting, this family!"

Those who mourned were all shocked by Tao Xiaozhi's exaggerated movements and expressions, and were dumbfounded, as if they had seen the dead man in the coffin jump out!

Silly Xingxing pulled the corner of Tao Xiaozhi's clothes and whispered: "Don't be embarrassed anymore, if you don't make it right, others will treat us as 'weirdos'!"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "Weirdos are also quite interesting~"

The black thin old man said: "You really know how to joke~"

A joke that no one laughs at is certainly not a joke, or it is not a joke at all!

Ah Niu said with a smile: "Old man black (the nickname of the thin old man), you can tell where the 'strange house' is!

At this time, those who wore linen and filial piety all laughed!

"It's fine!" said the old black man, pointing to a hill not far away, "Their home is on the top of that hill!"

Tao Xiaozhi endured his anger and said angrily: "You are the freaks! Your relatives are dead, and you can still laugh, it's so inhuman!"

The villagers laughed even harder, almost hurting their stomachs.

"None of us wake up?" Ah Niu laughed, "It's too funny! We are the best good people in the world!"

The old man hurriedly explained: "Although we are engaged in funerals, it is not our relatives who have died! We are doing funerals for them (the deceased), and we are providing services for free, we are not good people, who are good people?"

"Oh?" Tao Xiaozhi said, "what about their relatives, why did they leave it alone?"

The old man said, "All their relatives are dead! The five people who died are a family, and they have no other relatives." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "How can it be so coincidental that the whole family died together? Did they get food poisoning?"

The old man sighed and said, "They were killed!"

Silly Xingxing said: "Who is so vicious and kills people's entire families? Is it their enemy?"

The old man's face became even more gloomy, and his masseter muscles trembled for a while, and then he said, "He and the original are not humans, but beasts and demons!"

"Beast Demon Man?" Tao Xiaozhi's curiosity came again, and he asked, "What does the Beast Demon Man look like?"

The old man said in the dark: "Beasts and demons have everything, like humans and beasts, non-humans and non-beasts, haven't you seen beasts and demons?"

Silly Xingxing said: "He is from the world, he is a newcomer, he has never seen any big world, grandpa must not be surprised!"

The old man said: "Although there are very few people in the world here, there are also many yellow people! No wonder you haven't even seen a beast demon, and that surprised look frightened me!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "What does that beast demon man look like?"

The old man said: "He looks like a cow, his two horns can move, and his ass is extremely large, like a big water tank......"

Silly Xingxing said, "Why did that beast demon kill their whole family?"

The old man said, "That's a long story. Our village is called Xiaodou Village, the place is small but very famous, and it is famous for producing beans, especially red beans and mung beans, which are simply well received by the people of all countries in the demon world! Therefore, the beans in our village are the best beans in the world, not only the color is pleasing to the eye, but also the beans are large and delicious, and they are essential ......food for home travel.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Okay, okay! stop bragging about how good the beans in your village are, let's cut to the chase!"

The old man said, "Don't interrupt me! Don't you know that when the old man speaks, don't interject? Besides, if you don't know how good the beans in our village are, then it will be difficult to tell the following story, you know, this bean plays a decisive role in this story!"

In this way, Tao Xiaozhi really had no choice but to endure his sulking and continue to listen to the boring advertisements he sold for beans.

After telling the story of beans for a long time, the old man finally got out of the bean pile and got to the point.

The old man said: "The deceased's family is surnamed Dou, and they were originally one of the largest soybean producers in our village, so they live a relatively wealthy life, not the richest man in the village, but also the second richest." However, being rich is not necessarily expensive, and being too rich is not a good thing, and the end may be like this, and they will soon lie in the coffin!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Could it be that they were killed for money?"

The old man said, "So to speak. But the murderer can't simply be the beast demon, but the government of the demon domain! That beast demon is a small official in the city, called Niu Biren, who is responsible for collecting taxes and rents. Due to the heavy taxes of the Demon Domain, three-quarters of the income (or harvest) must be handed over every year, although the Dou family has a good income, but they really don't want to give away three-quarters of the soybeans for nothing, so they hide the data. However, his thousands of acres of bean land would not lie, so he was discovered by Niu Biren, confiscated the Dou family's property, and punished their whole family!"

Tao Xiaozhi said angrily: "It's so hateful! How can you kill other people's entire families casually!"

Everyone present looked at Tao Xiaozhi dumbfounded, laughing but not laughing, as if they saw the person in the coffin jumping out!

The old man said: "They all deserve to be killed! Because the Dou family has violated the code of the Demon Domain, who told them to evade taxes!"

"However, you have to pay three-quarters of the tax!" Tao Xiaozhi said angrily, "Who wants to give away three-quarters of the income that has been earned hard for a year?!"

The black old man sighed and said, "There is an evil demon domain here, it is not a source of holy spirits, nor is it a half-immortal island! The evil demon domain has the laws and regulations of the evil demon domain, and whoever dares not to abide by it will be the fate of the Dou family!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "It seems that the people here are really unlucky, why is there no one who opposes this system and rises up?"

The audience laughed again, like a child saying that none of his teeth had been gnawed off by cavities.

Silly Xingxing pulled the corner of Tao Xiaozhi's clothes and whispered: "Don't be embarrassed anymore, others will laugh at us as fools......"

"Isn't this stupid?!" Tao Xiaozhi said angrily, "Shouldn't we do this? This is simply not human life! Are you happy to live under the iron hooves of the beasts and demons every day? Are you happy to be ravaged by the demons at will every day? They are not human beings, but they have made so many inhuman rules to enslave you, but you live happily under this system! Are you stupid or am I stupid? Do you feel very comforted when your crops are taken away by them and starved to death? Will you be happy when the heads of your family are thrown into the sky, will you be satisfied when your humanity is distorted and numbed by them?

Those present were speechless on the spot, burying themselves in silence, bowing their heads and looking at their broken boots.

In this way, everyone was expressionless and silent for a long time.

Ah Niu couldn't stand the taste of not speaking, so he broke the silence first: "But killing (living) is like this......"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "It's because this is the case, that's why I changed it!"

The old man said, "However, when it gets dark, this can't be changed...... It's not too early for me to think about it, we have patience, and the dead are impatient! They are still waiting to be buried...... I think it's time for us to go......"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I'll tell you: it's dark, this fact. But when it's dark, will the dawn be far away?"
