Chapter VII Debt Collection
Suo Ba was also quick to move, turned around and kicked the big mouse back into the hole.
He crawled out of the cave as if he had escaped, but the danger was still not ruled out.
Several heads have already poked out of the hole, and rat eyes are squirming around, and they may come out at any moment.
At this time, Suo Ba saw a broken grinding plate next to the entrance of the cave, and he immediately came up with a tiger spirit.
He spread his legs, grabbed the grinding plate with both hands, clenched his teeth, and tried his best to lift the grinding plate.
Aim the grinding plate at the hole, throw both hands, "bang", and cover the hole tightly.
Suddenly there was chaos in the cave, and there was a commotion.
It's just that the hole is blocked by the grinding plate, and these rats can't get out of the hole for a while.
The angry rats only roared wildly below.
It was only after listening to the tossing and turning below for a long time that the sound gradually subsided, and it was estimated that they had withdrawn their troops.
After sitting at the entrance of the cave and calming down for a while, he got up and went back to the room, and got back into the bed.
The night of this Qingming Festival is really incredible, Suo Ba is like walking through a ghost gate.
It was a blessing to be alive until dawn, and he was afraid to think about it, he was tired and tired, and he fell asleep again unconsciously.
Early the next morning, Maria arrived at the tavern.
She saw that Suoba was still sleeping with her head covered, and the snoring sound resounded through the sky, and she raised her leg and kicked the table leg.
Maria shouted, "The sun is shining on your ass, and you are still sleeping?" It's almost up. ”
Suo Ba still covered his head and muttered, "Don't make noise, I just lay down and sleep for a while." ”
With a wicked smile on her face, Maria put her hand into Suoha's bed, and she riveted her strength and squeezed Suoba's thigh hard.
"The old lady can't afford to tell you."
"Ah......h
With a hysterical scream, Suo Ba threw the quilt under him and sat up.
Suo Ba's eyes widened like buns and roared: "You crazy woman, you crazy woman, you can strangle me." ”
Maria looked at Suoba's face in a daze, opened her mouth, and didn't speak for a long time.
Suo Ba asked in surprise, "What are you staring at me for?" ”
Solba was a little overwhelmed by Maria's look.
Maria pointed to Soba and asked, "Are you Soba?" I can't believe it! You look like a human. ”
Suo Badao: "What do you mean by being like a person?" I'm a person. ”
Maria just snorted and didn't speak.
Suo Ba pursed his lips embarrassedly and smiled: "How is it?" I'm pretty handsome, right? ”
Maria glanced at Suo Ba and said without being salty: "Don't say you're fat and you snort, you're just cleaner." I'll find you a dress to change into, you dirty, smelly skin, don't scare my guests away. ”
With that, Maria turned and walked out of the house and into the little shed.
After a while, he took back a man's old clothes and threw them on Suoba's body.
"You hurry up and change into it, although it is an old clothes, it is much cleaner than yours."
With that, she turned around and turned her back to Suoba.
Maria then asked, "By the way, do you know when the door of the little shed broke?" ”
Soba didn't answer Maria's question, he picked up his clothes and put them under his nostrils and sniffed them.
There was a strong smell of mold on the clothes, which could be caused by the airtight air in the small shed.
Suoba glanced at Maria, who was facing away from him, and said, "I've changed, don't turn around." ”
Maria said, "Humph! What kind of old man has never seen the old lady, so I don't bother to look at you! What the hell is going on with that lock? ”
Suo Ba replied disappreciatively: "Ah! The lock, you ask? I smashed it. ”
When Maria heard this, she turned back sharply, and Suopa hurriedly put on her pants when she saw this.
He blushed and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Maria said in a mocking tone, "Yo-yo! You won't be embarrassed if you don't see it! ”
Then she turned her face down and said in a questioning tone, "Why did you smash my lock?" ”
Soba jumped off the bed, picked up his shoes, and stomped his feet.
Rhetorical question: "Why?" I almost scared me to death last night, the little bull went over the railing, aren't you? What do you have here, don't you know? ”
Suopa recounted Maria's journey into the rat kingdom last night in detail from beginning to end.
He makes comparisons and talks, and the story is told in a loud and vivid way, as if the scene is recreated.
Maria was dumbfounded; She stammered, as if she had followed a personal adventure.
When Suopa finished speaking, Maria thought back to the three long-tailed diners last night, combined with what Suoba said.
Presumably, the diner is the rat demon in the cave, so it means that Suo Ba is not lying, and she herself is not mistaken.
The thought of Maria coming to the tavern for a meal made her feel terrible and disgusting.
She is a woman who loves cleanliness and has some cleanliness, so Suo Ba followed her to work inside and outside the house for most of the day.
The tavern was thoroughly cleaned, including the thatched hut, which was repeatedly brushed two or three times.
Maria thinks it's scary to be next to a group of rats, what if she comes out to drink again one day?
I'm afraid that a grinding plate alone won't be able to stop this group of rat demons, and maybe one day they will come out again to scare people.
As a woman, how can Maria cope with the things that have become fine? So she turned her head and forcibly left Suoba, who was pretending to leave.
In fact, Suo Ba can't ask for it from the bottom of his heart, and he can have a good place to settle down and live, and block the cold in winter; Wouldn't it be beautiful for him to escape the scorching heat in the summer?
Although not every meal is big fish and meat, at least three meals a day do not have to worry.
As for whether it is food or not, it doesn't matter to him.
What's more, he has a little affection for Maria, and staying can get along with Maria day and night, and in this respect, it is worth vomiting blood.
Solba was a handyman in Maria's tavern, and during the day he listened to Maria's orders to drink and do his work.
The husband who was on duty in the store at night also ended up comfortable.
It is impossible for Suopa to sleep on the table for a long time, and Maria hires two craftsmen to build a kennel for Suopa.
Maria only lives in the tavern when it is windy and rainy, and she usually goes back to Liumajia Village, so her boudoir is idle for most of the year.
So she asked the craftsman to buy bricks, tiles, wood, and other things, and set out half a hut in her room.
Although the house was not much bigger than the kennel, it could only put down a bed, so to speak, and it was much better than his broken mountain temple.
With Suoba, the unjust boss, fighting in the tavern, Maria is much more economical during the day, and has him as a husband at night, and it is quite practical to go back to sleep by herself.
More than a month has passed, and the long-tailed diners have never appeared again.
I thought that everything would be safe since then, but who knew that a few days after the good days, something happened again.
It was this evening that snowflakes fell outside, the first snow of early winter.
Since the temperature was still above freezing, the snow melted down and the ground soon became wet.
Seeing that the weather was bad, there were no guests, and there was no need to light the lamp and boil oil, Maria ordered Suoba to put out the stove, drop the door panel, and prepare to close the shop.
Because of the snow, Maria had to stay in the tavern, and after everything was cleaned up, Maria washed up and went back to her room and lay down.
Suo Ba, a fool, drank two taels and burned knives, and as soon as the wine came up, he fell asleep soundly.
Suoba's sleep didn't stop very much, and the snoring sound resounded through the sky.
Fortunately, this guy has no daughter-in-law, if a blind mother-in-law marries him, he has to run out after half a night's sleep, who can stand his stinky disease?
Maria lay on the kang and thought for a while, and before she knew it, she also fell asleep.
While she was sleeping soundly, she felt a living creature burrow into her bed.
The thing was furry all over its body, scurrying up and down against its body.
Maria felt it move as it moved, and there were claws scratching her skin, numb, itchy, and sometimes the tips of the claws scratching her.
Maria fumbled with her hands in the bed, but she didn't touch the thing for a long time.
In a trance, someone repeatedly said, "Take your life...... Take your life to ......"
The voice was shrill and long, with a resentment wafting in the air. Every time it is repeated, it repeats.
It was a long time before Maria struggled to wake up from her sleep, and she sat up suddenly.
She was so frightened that she was sweating profusely, and she only felt that her body was extremely weak, and her limbs were sore; Dizziness is almost like having a serious illness.
She vaguely saw a man standing in the room, who was staring at her with evil eyes, eyes as small as mung beans, and flashing with a vicious and fierce light in the blink of an eye.
Frightened, Maria quickly retreated to the innermost part of the ondol, her back pressed against the wall, not daring to move.
She trembled, and at this moment she wanted to shout Suo Ba to save her life, but her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton balls, and she couldn't make any sound after trying a few times.
At this time, a blue glimmer suddenly appeared in the originally dim room.
Blue is inherently weird, it is said that the light emitted by ghost fire and ghosts is blue, and the blue light in front of Maria's eyes is even more flickering; It's scary!
Through the blue "ghost fire", Maria could see his appearance clearly.
The man was extremely short, less than three feet tall, with a hunched body and thin cheeks, similar to the last time he had come to the restaurant with his tail between his legs.
The strangeness of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills is extremely ugly, which makes people feel numb and crispy when they see it.
Its slightly upturned beard shuddered as it looked at Maria.
It said to Maria, "You human hearts are so vicious! actually blocked the exit of our rat city with a grinding plate, causing nearly half of our rat clan to starve to death, and this blood feud should be cut off immediately. ”
When the scrawny man opened his mouth to speak, the front teeth stood out prominently, and the bared teeth grinned like a.
The voice of the speaker is becoming more and more sharp, like a eunuch in the palace, and the tone of neither men nor women makes the listener's heart itch.
Maria suddenly felt cold and cold, she wrapped her body in the quilt, and the cool breeze still drilled into her bones like an awl, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Maria fully understood that this person was not a ghost, it turned out to be a rat demon.
Suoba used a grinding plate to block people's transportation arteries, and they couldn't get out, so they starved to death.
This big mouse is here to collect debts, it seems that Maria is very lucky tonight!
