Chapter Ninety-Five: The Deceit of Beasts
In the dead of night, the moon is quiet.
When the Chen butcher returned home after selling the meat in the evening, the meat in the load had been sold, and only the bones were left.
Just as he was thinking about going back to cook a bone broth and going to the market tomorrow to buy a two-foot red-headed rope for his daughter, when suddenly his body trembled, and he found that something seemed to be following him closely.
Wolf? Or two horses?
Based on his years of experience, Butcher Chen judged that the things behind him were two evil wolves, and he was extremely frightened, so he hurriedly threw the bones in his burden back.
Behind him, one wolf stopped when it got a bone, and the other still followed. The butcher threw the bones again, and the wolf who got the bones stopped and the wolf who had got the bones came after him.
After repeating it several times, the bones in Chen Butcher's burden were gone, and the two wolves chased him together as before.
The Chen butcher was very frightened, worried that he would be attacked by wolves in front and behind. He saw a barley field in the field, and the owner of the wheat field was piling up firewood and grass in the wheat field and covering it like a hill.
So the butcher ran and leaned under the pile of firewood and straw, took off his burden, and took up his knife.
In the darkness, he saw a wolf that did not dare to come forward, and his dark eyes were staring at him.
After a while, one wolf left straight away, and the other squatted in front of him like a dog, and after a while, he left silently.
Chen Butcher was about to leave, turned to look behind the pile of firewood and grass, and found that another wolf was digging a hole, intending to enter through the passage to attack his back. Chen Butcher was angry from his heart, and he grabbed the hind legs of the evil wolf, and raised the knife to cut off the wolf's thighs from behind!
Seeing that the knife was about to fall, all of a sudden, the evil wolf poked his head out of the haystack and said with a frightened face: "Didn't I just take a few of your bones, and I can use it to kill someone?" ”
Chen Butcher was stunned on the spot, and after a closer look, he found that the one in the haystack was not a wolf at all, but a ...... Cute girl?
At the same time, a voice sounded behind him: "Stop, I'm the Qingtian master of Weifu's private interview!" ”
Chen Butcher turned around and saw a person holding a pile of meat and bones in his hand, stretching out his hand in a panic and making a stop movement.
Chen Butcher: "@#¥%¥#@......"
He has seen a lot of Qingtian lords, pretending to be a wolf to deceive the butcher's meat and bones, and it is really the first time he has met him......
It's really a deceitful geometry of beasts, isn't it like the ears of the old man in the sky?
Chen Butcher's cheeks twitched a few times, and when he saw the official uniform Zhang Xiu was wearing, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "I have seen the Qingtian Lord, the grass man Chen Guanxi, others call me Chen Butcher, and the meat sold to the villagers has never been short, and it is also a little famous in Lanxi." Just now I thought I was being targeted by a wolf, and I didn't sincerely go against the eldest master, and asked the eldest lord to forgive me. ”
Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't worry, this old man is broad-minded and won't be as knowledgeable as you, you only need to chop two catties of lean meat and chop it, not a trace of fat, and then cut two catties of fat meat and chop it, not a trace of skinny, and then two catties of crispy bones and mince it, not a trace of meat."
In this way, it will be sent to the post station on the fifth watch day tomorrow, and the old man will forgive you. ”
Chen Butcher: "......"
Why don't you kill me!!
Chen Butcher couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly a bearded man flashed out from the side, pulled Zhang Xiu away, bowed politely, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and said with a flattering face: "He is joking with you, father-in-law, don't take it seriously!" ”
Chen Butcher: "@#¥%¥#@......"
Good guys, not only are they making things difficult for corrupt officials, but they also want to rob their daughters??
Is it really that he Chen Guanxi is a vegetarian!!
Seeing that Chen Butcher's eyes were splitting and he looked desperate, Zhang Xiu hurriedly straightened up and explained: "Today, this mansion is busy with spring ploughing, and when I see that it is getting late, I want to find a place to spend the night, and I happened to meet you, so I made a joke with you, don't take it seriously." ”
Chen Butcher was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that today was indeed the day of spring ploughing, and the prefect of Jinhua seemed to like to joke with people, so he quickly put away the knife and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that it is really the face of the Qingtian lord, if the lord does not dislike it, go to my house for a night." ”
After a while, Zhang Xiu and the others followed Chen Butcher to the house, and there was a knock on the door, and a girl with a delicate face in a jinghai cloth skirt opened the door.
Seeing a few people behind her father, the girl said with a puzzled face: "Dad, these guests ......"
Butcher Chen smiled and introduced: "This is the Qingtian Lord Zhang Governor of our Jinhua Mansion, and next to him is his friend." ”
Yan Feng looked at the girl, as if she had been robbed of her soul, puffed up her chest, hugged her fists and said: "In Xia Yanfeng, the ancestral home of Shushan, is the head of Jinhua Mansion!" ”
Ao Xue's small chest straightened, and she said in a similar way: "In Xia Ao Xue, his ancestral home is the Huai River, and he is the Dragon King of the Huai River!" ”
The girl puffed up, let a few people into the house, took the bones from the burden, skillfully stewed the bones on the stove, and said, "Wait a few distinguished guests, and I will cook for you." ”
Zhang Xiu thanked him, looked around the house, and found that there were several wolf skins hanging on the wall.
On top of the fire, there was also an old lady with a charitable face, who looked like the old lady of the Chen butcher.
Zhang Xiu went over to see her, sat on the kang and chatted with her, and said with a smile: "Old man, you are old this year?" ”
The old lady smiled, and said with a tight mouth: "Not thin, more than 100 pounds!" ”
Zhang Xiu Yile asked again: "Old lady, how about the bearded man at the door, how old is your granddaughter, can you be married to someone?" ”
The old lady glanced at Yan Feng and covered her face shyly: "I'm ninety old woman, I can't marry again......"
The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the deaf old lady in front of her, and said entangledly: "That...... Let me ask Brother Yan if he is willing to tie the knot with your old man? ”
Yan Feng glared at Zhang Xiu viciously, followed a few steps forward, and flatteringly helped the girl hand over the firewood, the girl blushed and lowered her head, looking shy.
Chen Butcher glanced at his daughter with a shy face, and then looked at Yan Feng with a smirk on his face, feeling that the cabbage he had worked hard for many years seemed to be arched by a long-haired wild boar.
At this moment, a loud wolf howl sounded, and Butcher Chen's face changed suddenly, and he picked up the knife and came to the door.
Zhang Xiu was taken aback when he saw this: "Butcher Chen, if you don't agree to this family business, forget it, there's no need to use a knife!" ”
Chen Butcher's face was solemn, and he turned his face and said: "My lord, you don't know, there is a nest of evil wolves near Lanxi, which specializes in eating pedestrians at night, after I killed a few horses, the remaining ones came to me for revenge, and a few horses will come to my house every day to howl!" ”
Zhang Xiu frowned after hearing this: "Human life is at stake, the government doesn't care about this matter, Brother Yan, you go out and have a look!" ”
Yan Feng nodded, feeling that his opportunity to perform had come, and suddenly flashed and went outside the hospital.
Chen Butcher was not in a hurry, and said with an anxious face: "My lord, let him come back quickly, there seems to be a monster in that group of evil wolves!" ”
Zhang Xiu said calmly: "Don't worry, this Yan Zhutou is a sword immortal, and his cultivation is profound, he is not a ......."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Feng's panicked voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard: "Brother Zhang, save me!" ”
Zhang Xiu's smile stiffened, and he continued: "It's a dry meal." ”
