Uncle Guan was shocked when he saw the weasel standing up and coming towards him. He was superstitious by nature, and he woke up when he woke up, isn't this ear hat made of yellow fairy skin? Thinking of this, his hands trembled, and his ear caps fell to the ground with a pop.

His hair stood straight up with a body of white hair sweat, it happened that the Taoist priest in the Taixu Temple was sitting in the evening class, a Dharma drum sounded, and suddenly hung a gust of yin wind in front of the view, not far from the temple gate, I don't know who worships the paper ashes burned by the immortals, which was rolled up by the yin wind and blew towards Uncle Guan. The big weasel in the meadow also raised his head sharply and hissed twice. Uncle Guan snorted, and fell directly to the ground in front of him, fainting.

When Uncle Guan woke up, he was already on the kang at home, and it turned out that the neighbor at the door saw it faint and carried him back. When he woke up, he trembled and told him about meeting the weasel, and asked his wife to quickly throw away the pair of ear caps. Then I felt that my limbs were sore and weak, and I couldn't afford to be sick, and I had a high fever for three or four days in a row, and I could get out of bed for five days.

Hearing this, Han Da'er suddenly interjected:

"Hey! I thought it was a big deal! Doesn't that interrupt! You (you are a spoken word in Tianjin, and when you read it, you have to pronounce "Ni" is actually you or what you mean) This is, after taking a bath, let the cool breeze pat it, and freeze it, how can there be any Huangxian revenge! ”

After saying that, he was about to pull You Fei back, but Uncle Guan grabbed Han Da'er's wrist and said:

"It's not! No! I didn't finish it......"

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said:

"Isn't that coming! Let's go into the hospital and see it yourself! ”

It turned out that while talking, the three of them had already walked to the mouth of the alley of Qingshi Hutong, and not far ahead, on the left hand side was the independent courtyard of Uncle Guan's house.

Before I entered the courtyard, I smelled a pungent smell of blood, with the smell of animals, which made people almost sick. Pushing open the courtyard door, there is a small shadow wall, and there is a large red blood stain on the wall, and there are many scattered blood droplets on the ground.

You Fei is more than ten years older than Han Dadaoer, he is an old patrol officer on the street, and he fights on the street on weekdays, and the gangsters are ruthless, and they often have blood all over the ground, and they have seen a lot, which is not unusual. Although Han Da'er was bold, he was also shocked when he saw this large area of blood.

The three of them walked around the shadow wall and walked into the courtyard, Han Daring subconsciously lowered his head, glanced at the blood droplets under the shadow wall, pondered slightly, and then took a step into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, even You Fei was taken aback, only to see that in the courtyard, there were pigeon feathers everywhere and dead pigeons everywhere. There are blood stains on the wall and the ground, and there are also a lot of claw marks, the scratches are not spaced apart, I don't know what animal scratched them, and the whole yard looks shocking.

This courtyard is not big or small, with three main rooms in front, two side rooms on the right, and adjacent courtyards on the left, sharing a courtyard wall. The courtyard wall is not short, and even tall people have to step on a stool to climb over the courtyard wall. Under the courtyard wall was a row of one-man high pigeon cages, the doors of which were all open, and the carcasses of the pigeons were already scattered all over the ground.

At this time, Uncle Guan's wife, Aunt Guan, stood in the house and pushed the door to pick her head out, and saw that Uncle Guan was back, and brought back the two people wearing official clothes, so she pushed the door out tremblingly, and ran to Uncle Guan in a few steps to stand still. He was a woman, and when she saw the scene in the yard, she was already scared to death, and it was easy to see Uncle Guan coming back, so she hurriedly ran to his side to strengthen her courage, in fact, these two people were beating wolves with hemp sticks - they were afraid at both ends, and Uncle Guan was also covered in hair when he stood in the courtyard.

Uncle Guan has an old wife in this courtyard. In the past, when I was in Beijing, there were a lot of subordinates in my family, but since I moved to Tianjin Wei, my family was thin and I couldn't afford to support so many people, so I was dismissed. The old couple originally had two sons, the eldest was a school officer in the former New Army, and later during the Xinhai Revolution, he fought with the revolutionary army and died on the battlefield.

The little one has been doting since he was a child, and he didn't worry about it when he grew up, and he learned a bad habit of spending money, and he stole the antique calligraphy and paintings at home to pawn in Beijing, and threw all the money into the kiln. Later, when he moved to Tianjin Wei, he stole the deed of his house to sell, but he was caught by Uncle Guan and let him run away with a stick, and he didn't have a home for three years. Later, I finally found it, saying that I was in Nanjing, and now I have studied well, and I have found an errand in the government, but I never go home, and I will send two letters a year at most. Now in this yard, there are just these old couples and more than a dozen pigeons.

Han Da'er looked around, and You Fei asked:

"Uncle Guan, did you find out that Qian'er (Qian'er is the meaning of Tianjin dialect, when did Qian'er find out like this?"

Aunt Guan said tremblingly:

"Just today! Early in the morning! ”

Uncle Guan sighed and said:

"I've been sick for more than ten days, and I'm so good. I had nightmares before, but I just slept soundly yesterday, and when I got up in the morning, it was like this in the yard. ”

Han Da'er carefully examined the messy details in the courtyard, but he still bent his ears and listened to You Fei and Uncle Guan talking. Then he picked up the pigeon carcass on the ground, looked carefully at the wound on the pigeon's neck, picked up the pigeon feathers on the ground and sniffed it, and then asked without looking back:

"Didn't you dream at night? (The night was last night)"

Aunt Guan shook her head, and Uncle Guan said:

"No, I dreamed all night for a few days in a row...... Ay! I'm not scared, I'm not small, I was ...... when I was clear."

Uncle Guan is a banner person, he has the best face, he loves to be a big person, he is afraid that outsiders will be looked down upon by outsiders, and he is trying to break a few sentences of the past and get back some face, Han Dada'er didn't wait for Uncle Guan to finish filling the big man, so he interrupted him and asked:

"Today, why did you get up before? Is it a little bit more peaceful? ”

Uncle Guan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"It's not a little bit, since I moved to Tianjin Wei, the old city in the morning bell and dusk, every day I wake up at two o'clock, today, I don't wake up until three o'clock in the morning!"

In the old days, many old people were not used to Western clocks, and although there were clocks and watches at home, they were still counted according to the twelve hours of the day. Uncle Guan said that the second quarter of Mao Zheng is about half past five in the morning, and the third quarter of the hour is seven forty-five in the morning.

When he got up in the morning, Uncle Guan saw that the courtyard was full of messes, and he suspected that Huang Xian had come to the door, he usually believed in God and worshiped Buddha, but at this time he was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know whether to find a monk or an old way, and came to the house to subdue demons and catch monsters. just suddenly thought that the entrance of the official government could suppress the evil, so he hurriedly ran to the second office to call the police, and wanted to invite the two official clothes to come to the house, and take advantage of the imperial atmosphere at the entrance of the yamen to town house.

After listening to Uncle Guan's words, Han Da'er didn't say anything, just nodded, and then continued to check the surrounding situation.

You Fei asked at this time:

"Do you think that it is Huang Xian who has come to take revenge? Couldn't it be that someone stole pigeons at night? ”

Uncle Guan said:

"Hey! The old money of selling leather goods is not a good thing, I thought it was really a fox ear hat that gave me, dare to love is made of Huangxian skin, that night at the east gate, and let Huangxian find it along the taste, this is not the door! ”

Han Da'er said casually:

"You've taken the weasel for a dog, and you've found it with the taste!"

Aunt Guan hurriedly said:

"The young man doesn't dare to talk nonsense, Huang Xian is spiritual! God's eyes are like electricity, God's ears are good, turn around and let it hear! ”

You Fei asked:

"What about ear caps?"

"Thrown!"

"Where?"

"Hutong thatched house!"

You Fei smiled:

"It's so lively to say just now, you threw the yellow fairy skin into the pit!"

When Uncle Guan heard this, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly said to Aunt Guan with a white face:

"Yes, yes! Fast! Fast! Fast! Go find it back! ”

Aunt Guan was not happy when she heard it, and said angrily:

"You threw it in the pit, you find it yourself, throw it away, you can still find that thing, besides, Lao Gu who dumped the dung has already pulled the dung truck away, where are you going?"

Uncle Guan hurriedly said:

"Then what to do, the pigeons are dead, if you want to find the door again, you have to settle accounts with the two of us!"

Guan Damiang said:

"That's also looking for you first, you got the ear cap back, and you threw it in the pit!"

You Fei listened to the old couple bickering, covering his mouth and laughing, just now the courtyard was full of murderous aura, but at this moment it was gone, he hurriedly played a round and said:

"Hey! The pigeons are dead, even if this matter is over, your husband and mother, don't worry about nothing! ”

Guan Damiang said:

"You don't know! Legend has it that this house used to live in a Xiucai who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and later it was, there were chickens in the yard, Huang Xian came to look for tribute, and after eating his chickens, he found someone to set Huang Xian'er, and then he really caught Huang Xian, so he let him kill him......"

"What do you know, it's just ...... nonsense" Uncle Guan stopped Aunt Guan from talking, and then said:

"It's not Xiucai, he said that he was on an errand at the yamen, and his body was very good, just because he killed Huang Xian, and then he died within two years, and when he died, he was so thin that he only had a handful of bones left!"

You Fei Dao:

"Where have you heard of this, I don't know!"

Uncle Guan said:

"How old are you, and there will be the Great Qing Kingdom at that time!" Saying that, Uncle Guan pondered for a while, and said to himself:

"This lack of virtue Zhao butcher, I said that such a good courtyard, why did you sell me! No, I have to sell this house and find a house to move! ”

Han Daring also ignored the two of them and continued to check the scratches on the wall. I saw that even the iron sheet of the pigeon cage had a few scratches. He went around the shadow wall again to inspect the gate and the latch, and the paint on the gate was no more than two months at most. The latch is also painted, the weather is hot, the new paint is soft, if you insert the latch, the door will become very astringent, not easy to twitch, it is difficult to open the door from the outside through the crack in the door.

Han Daring turned his head, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear it through the shadow wall, so he raised his voice and asked:

"When you get up in the morning, is this gate tethered?"

Guan Damiang said:

"yes, or how strange it might be! A few days ago, there were hanged ghosts inside and outside the city, and everyone's door was tightly inserted at night! ”

Uncle Guan's husband, mother and You Fei, the three of them looked at Han Daring and frowned, walking around the yard, looking at this and touching that for a while. He walked to the west wall and looked up at the courtyard wall, reached for the pigeon coop and groped for it, and then seemed to find nothing, and then went to the wall again, and smelled the blood on the wall. He crouched down, pulled a little blood from the wall with his hand, put it to his nose and sniffed it, put it to his mouth again, stuck out his tongue and licked it. The old couple looked at it, and they both felt a little disgusted, and grinned slightly.

At this time, Han Da'er stretched his brows, and suddenly stood up with a slap on his thigh!
