272. Night check the countryside (come to the starting point to subscribe)

After the toad sacrifice was over, Wang Qilin said, "Let's go, let's go to the post house to have a look." ”

Xu Dadao: "What's the name of the little seal here? Soul Breaking Knife Jingming, right? Okay, he is very capable of holding it, he won't show up when the iron captain of our Pingyang Mansion comes? What does this mean, waiting for us to visit him?"

Wang Qilin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, when Lord Zhao Lin first appeared in our Jixiang County, didn't we take the initiative to greet him?"

The post house is not the largest and widest courtyard in the township, but it is the most upright and luxurious, a country post house actually stands with a gatehouse, there are two rows of red lanterns hanging on the gatehouse, the lanterns are lit up before it gets dark, and it is very pompous.

After Wang Qilin saw it, his mouth felt the same as a lemon: The post house in this township is even more scene than his post house in Fucheng!

Seeing them appear at the door, a strong man came out with a majestic knife in his hand: "Who are you waiting forβ€”hiss, my lord?"

He estimated that when he saw Fang Shengwen for the first time, he was stunned at that moment.

Xu Da stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, pointed at Wang Qilin and said, "Brother Why, it's the first time I've seen it? Tie Wei, alive, ah no, really!"

The strong man was taken aback, and hurriedly half-knelt on the ground and saluted: "The lowly Great Willow Township Lux Zhu Kai has seen Lord Tiewei!"

Wang Qilin beckoned: "Get up, where is Lord Jingming?"

Zhu Kai hurriedly grovelled and led them into the door, saying: "Today, someone in the village reported that the village was haunted, and there were ghosts who served the ghosts. ”

Xu Da subconsciously stretched out his hand and patted it in front of his nose, and said, "Wucao, serving the ghost? This ghost is very delicious." ”

Zhu Kai smiled: "Who said it wasn't?"

There are also places called fecal ghosts, as the name suggests, this ghost feeds on feces, and it is a relatively buried ghost.

He is one of the thirty-six ghosts recorded in the Dharma Sutra, and the scriptures record: The ghost who serves the convenience of the ghost seeks wealth and does not cultivate good karma, because of this retribution, his body is on fire, and his cannibalism is not pure, so as to survive.

To put it simply, if a person makes a living by defrauding and harming others before his death, and does not cultivate merit or good fortune, he will be punished and become a servant after death.

But this ghost is quite rare, fraud is common in this era, but people who make a living from fraud are rare, Xie Toad was quite interested when he heard that there was a ghost who served him, and asked: "Seventh Master, Xu Ye, do you two want to go and see?"

Wang Qilin and Xu Da waved their hands together: "No, no, no." ”

Jiuliu subconsciously licked his mouth, and Eight Meow stood up and slapped it on the door of the head: Old girl, don't get excited, you can't go.

Xie Toad smiled and said: "You don't have to hear the name of this ghost and think that it is very dirty, in fact, this ghost is not dirty, as the Dharma Sutra says, it is 'body hair fire', that is to say, it is covered with long hair, and the long hair will often burn, burn off a stubble and grow a stubble, so the body is clean." ”

Xu Da suddenly said: "Then the uncle understands why this thing wants to eat stool, you see, whether it is vegetables or grass, it is more lush with stool, this ghost has to keep growing hair, just like the earth keeps growing grass, it needs fertilizer!"

Wang Qilin looked at him in shock.

This guy has a black hole in his head, huh?

Xie Toad nodded thoughtfully: "It's really possible, do you want to go and see for a long time?" This ghost is very famous in history, it once killed a king......

"Wu Cao, you don't mean to talk about Jin Jinggong, right?" Xu Da interrupted him and asked.

Xie Toad smiled: "Yes!"

Wang Qilin asked weakly, "Who is Jin Jinggong?"

Xu Dadao: "The king of the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was eloquent and strategic, wise and martial, but his death was not very good.

Xie Toad said: "In fact, he was killed by a servant ghost, and the servant ghost became famous in Taoist history because of this." ”

Wang Qilin thought about it, but chose not to watch it.

It's all at this point, the black light is blinding, he knows the power of the rural dry toilet best, what should he do if he accidentally falls down?

He already has a reputation for kidney deficiency, and if he falls into the pit again, then he will have to die socially.

Jingming is not there, but there are a lot of people in the post house, as well as two wrestlers and two traveling stars.

Wang Qilin was surprised: "How many people are there in your post house?"

When he was making a small seal, why was he a wandering star and a wrestler?

Zhu Kai said with a smile: "There are a total of four wrestlers and four traveling stars." ”

Wang Qilin wondered: "Listen to the heavenly eunuch who has approved so many public positions for you?"

The public maintenance position is the establishment, because the officials and teachers and other positions are all eaten by the emperor's grain, and there is public support, so they have such a title.

Zhu Kai sneered again: "No, except for Lord Jing, we only have two public maintenance positions......"

"Yes, Lord Qiyu, there are a total of three public maintenance positions in this station, and the other six people just admire the actions of the Heavenly Eunuch, and want to protect the people and protect one side, so they voluntarily come to the Heavenly Prison on an errand. A fat man came out with his fists clenched and laughed.

Wang Qilin looked at them and nodded, and said, "Very good, your heart is commendable, and this official wishes you great ambitions." ”

Xu Da looked at their faces and body shapes, thoughtful.

Wang Qilin didn't ask too much, he put the young man out and asked, "Do you know this child?"

The fat man looked at it carefully, and asked tentatively: "This is Xiao Langjun of the Ding family? What is his name? The big guys all call him Xiao Ding Xiucai, so they have forgotten his specific name." ”

Zhu Kai thought for a while and said, "I forgot what the word is called Ding Youda, isn't he missing? ”

Wang Qilin said: "If you have a problem, I'll talk about it later, take us to meet his family first." ”

Zhu Kai said: "According to the orders of the adults, Xiao Ding Xiucai's family is in the township, you come with me, and I will take you there." ”

The group walked along the road they came, but when they arrived around the big willow tree, they entered an alley, Zhu Kai pointed to a brick house at the entrance of the alley and said: "That is Xiao Ding Xiucai's house, his father's name is Ding Mantou, and his nickname is Mantou Ding, because their family makes steamed bread and flatbread and other pasta for a living." ”

Wang Qilin nodded.

There was indeed a strong aroma of cooked wheat in the alley, and Xu Da, a unproductive product, had already sniffled.

Wang Qilin didn't pay attention to this fragrance, he was thinking about a question in his heart:

Since this Ding Youda's home is here, the person they met just now is his neighborhood.

You must know that Ding Youda was abducted by the evil beggar, just like Zhu Kai said, he is missing, so his family and neighbors have to look for him no matter what, so why did the neighbors not come up to greet him in surprise when they saw him, but either ran into the alley or watched cautiously?

Zhu Kai walked to the door and shouted: "Steamed buns, come out and see who's coming!"

The night was hazy.

Some people in the neighborhood probed their brains and looked curiously.

Wang Qilin gave Ambassador Xu a look: "Go." ”

As they approached the door, a big yellow dog pounced.

Zhu Kai drew his knife and glared, and the big yellow dog stepped back with his tail between his legs.

A middle-aged couple hurriedly walked out, the woman scolded the big yellow dog, and the man smiled and said: "I'm sorry, master, my family forgot to tie the dog today, what kind of wind is blowing you here? Do you want to eat steamed buns?"

Zhu Kai said: "I'm not here for steamed buns, you see, who is this?"

He pulled the stupid boy out, and the husband and wife were shocked when they saw the person, and then they cried and hugged the boy and cried:

"Da Lang, Da Lang, you're finally back! Where have you been these days? Let me and your mother find it!"

"Da Lang, my Da Lang, woo, my mother thinks you will never come back...... Did the adults get you back? My lord, the great master of the blue sky, the great master of the suffering, the grass people kowtow to you!"

When the woman cried, she knelt down and kowtowed.

Wang Qilin helped her up, he asked the husband and wife about this Ding Youda, the husband and wife said that their son had been missing for more than ten days, they thought that their son would never come back, and they had already died of this heart, but they didn't expect their son to be sent back by them.

The woman said: "We have been looking for him, but we can't find him at all, but I heard that we saw a stupid child who looks like him in Erli Township, and we wanted to go to Erli Township to see it recently, but the adults sent him back, what a good official who rescued the suffering!"

The name of Erli Township appeared again, and Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad, who was looking at a pot of steamed buns that had just come out of the oven.

The Taoist is hungry, and this will be unreliable.

So he asked Ding Youda how he became stupid, and the husband and wife said sadly: "Alas, Da Lang likes to play since he was a child, two years ago, he and his partners climbed the house and trees, accidentally fell down, and then fell into a coma for several days, and finally was rescued by Lang Zhong, but he broke his brain and became a fool." ”

I can't ask for any meaningful news later.

Wang Qilin said: "Okay, Da Lang was abducted by a beggar, you should be careful about him in the future." ”

They were leaving, and the couple stayed to entertain a meal.

Wang Qilin shook his head and refused.

Steamed bun Ding twisted a piece of straw paper and wrapped a few hot steamed buns that had just come out of the oven, and said: "We don't have anything in our house that can be eyed, but this steamed bun is not bad, adults, you can take it back and taste it." ”

The steamed buns just out of the pot are indeed very fragrant, white and soft, steaming and very gluttonous, no need to eat, as long as it is accompanied by an aged pickle, it can make people eat very energetically.

Wang Qilin was born in the countryside and understood the price, so when he got the steamed bun, he took out 20 copper baht and auctioned it.

The steamed bun Ding hurriedly refused, and Xie Toad came up and said: "You take it, my family never takes advantage of the people, does not eat the people's porridge and rice, and takes the people's stitches and threads." ”

"But these steamed buns don't cost twenty copper baht. Mantou Ding said.

Xie Toad stroked his beard and smiled: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it doesn't matter how much it is worth, you can just keep the money that my family has given you." ”

Wang Qilin was stunned when he heard this, he knew that these steamed buns could not cost twenty copper baht, he was not blindly generous, but saw that this steamed bun was doing well, and wanted to buy twenty copper baht steamed buns for dinner.

Now that Xie Toad says this, where is he embarrassed to ask for steamed buns again?

Zhu Kai said, "Don't thank you soon!"

The two knelt down and thanked them.

It's okay now, Wang Qilin has Xu Da's thick skin, and he can't ask for steamed buns anymore.

So as soon as he went out, he grabbed the steamed buns and started eating.

When Xu Da came back, he didn't have anything to eat.

Xie Toad also thought so, snatched two steamed buns from him, and ate them one by one.

Zhu Kai was stunned: Are the old men of Tiewei living so shabby?

Eight Meow and Nine Six followed him to go, and when they came to the door, the big yellow dog intercepted Nine Six, and it wagged its tail vigorously at Nine Six, desperately hinting.

Jiuliu blinked his big watery eyes and looked at it with a look of ignorance, an absolute little Lori in the dog.

The big yellow dog dripping urine excitedly, it leaned over to Jiuliu's ass and smelled it, and Jiuliu quickly sat down.

Eight Meow took a few steps and found that Nine-Six did not follow, it looked back and saw that the big yellow dog was attached to Nine-six's fart and suddenly exploded on the spot, only to see its tail flick a spiral to the sky, turn over and leap over and take off into the air is a meow meow punch.

The big yellow dog bared his teeth, and Eight Meow stood up with his hind feet and shook the autumn fat that had just been pasted, and then bowed forward and stretched out his front legs to swing out a thunder hand Wen Tailai-style boxing.

Jiuliu hurriedly stretched out a paw to hook its fat neck: Forget it, Brother Meow will give me a face and save it a dog's life.

Eight meows are murderous here: guarding the corner of the meow and prying the meow master, this bare belly of the mother beats the tiger, one is shameless and the other is dead!

It gave Jiuliu a stern look and motioned for it to get out of the way: its dog life is about to be decided, and no one can save it today!

Wang Qilin saw that the two of them stayed at the door and didn't leave, so he went back and picked up the back of Bameow's neck and carried it away.

Eight Meow: "Mom!"

After going out, he gave Xie Toad a look, Xie Toad nodded and whistled loudly, and then disappeared into a dark shadow in the alley.

They returned to the post house, but Jingming had not returned.

The fat man said: "Look at the sky, Lord Jing is afraid that he will not come back tonight, and he should stay in the countryside directly, so I can arrange the food and lodging of the adults?"

Wang Qilin nodded and said yes, and he said to Zhu Kai: "You hurry up and wash a pickle for me." ”

Xie Toad, who rushed in later, added: "Two more cloves of garlic." ”

Zhu Kai couldn't help but say: "My lord, although our Daliushu Township is a small place in the countryside, there are also restaurants, let's go to the restaurants later." ”

Wang Qilin refused: "This steamed bun just out of the pot is very fragrant, it is even more delicious than roast chicken and braised pork, you can hurry up and get me pickles." ”

Xu Da is coming back, and they have to eat it before Xu Da comes back.

Sure enough, they hurried to hurry up and just finished eating the big steamed buns, and Xu Da came back with his chest straight.

Wang Qilin was surprised when he saw his chest: "I won't see you for a while, why did your chest muscles become so exaggerated?"

Xu Da triumphantly took out two large bags of steamed buns.

He went to buy steamed buns before coming back.

The wrestlers went to prepare the wine and food, and Xu Da said while gobbling it up: "Seventh Master, what do you guess I heard?"

"The family that Zhu Kai took us to is not Ding Youda's house? Steamed Bun Ding and his wife are not Ding Youda's father?" Wang Qilin came over and touched a steamed bun and gave it to Jiuliu and Eight Meow.

Xu Da was surprised: "How do you know?"

Wang Qilin sneered: "These people treat me as a fool, the steamed bun Ding couple said that their son was lost for more than ten days, and they looked for more than ten days, but they looked very ruddy and energetic, is this what parents who have lost their son should look like?"

"And I walked around the yard, and I roughly saw the layout of their house, there is no study in Xiangyang's room, is this what a family with scholars should look like?"

"Moreover, when Ding Youda appeared, the husband and wife didn't think twice and didn't have any questions, they jumped up directly and began to cry, is this what a father and mother should look like when they see their lost son come back?"

Xu Da stretched out his thumb in admiration and said, "Seventh Master, you are really awesome." ”

Wang Qilin frowned at him, he always felt that this was not a good thing.

Xu Da continued: "But you can look away this time, hehe, the steamed bun Ding couple is Ding Youda's father! No, the father is not the mother, the current Ding family is the daughter-in-law of the steamed bun Ding Hou, Ding Youda's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to him!"

Wang Qilin was stunned, stepping on a horse!

Xu Da said again: "But Ding Youda was not raised by the Mantou Ding couple, Ding can't have children, he is jealous, Ding Youda was smart and clever when he was a child, she saw the child and got angry, so she drove him to Mantou Ding's father's house." ”

"In other words, Ding Youda has lived with his grandfather since he was a child, and his grandfather passed away two months ago, and then he returned home!"

Wang Qilin was about to ask, Xu Da waved his hand and continued: "What's interesting is here, Ding Youda was lost in just two months after returning to his parents. Do you know how he lost it?"

"Of course I know, I know how to tell fortunes. Wang Qilin said.

Xu Da was stunned and said, "Seventh Master, you can also tell fortunes?"

Wang Qilin went up and punched him: "You know that Lao Tzu can't tell fortunes, so you ask a fart? Tell me the answer directly, you ask me if I can still calculate the answer?"

Xu Da sneered: "Okay, I found a family that has a conflict with the steamed bun Ding family, guess no, this family said that Ding Youda was not lost by himself, he was bought by someone, or rather, he was sold by his own father!"

Wang Qilin was shocked by these words: "Am I rough?"

Xie Toad clapped his hands and said, "It seems that these two people are hiding a lot of things, we have something to do tonight." ”

At night, the cold wind raged and the weather started to get cold.

At this time, the doors and windows of every household were closed, those with wives hugged their wives, those without wives hugged cats and dogs, the people hid in the quilts, and the whole Daliushu Township fell into a dark silence.

Yameow appeared in the room, pointed to the bedroom across the room, stood up and stared at the window.

Wang Qilin said: "Someone on the other side is watching us, hmph, there is also a problem with this post house." ”

Xu Da said in frustration: "Seventh Master, how did the entire Pingyang Mansion's Heavenly Eunuch infiltrate like its mother's fishing net?"

Wang Qilin said: "It's wrong, it's not that the Heavenly Prison has been infiltrated, but that all the power organs have been bought by the forces, this is normal, the entire Pingyang is the world of the Wu family, and it is normal for the big and small posts to give their lives to the Wu family or to other forces." ”

Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yin Jingming probably didn't go to the countryside to catch ghosts, he may have gone somewhere to make ghosts." ”

"Will the Ding family be wiped out?" Xu Da suddenly thought of this.

Wang Qilin shook his head: "No, we have already taken Ding Youda to answer the family, if we kill their family at this time, wouldn't it be clear to tell us that there is a problem in this big willow township? Now think of a way, we have to go out without alarming the other side." ”

Xie Toad pointed to the back window of the room.

But the back window was narrow, and Wang Qilin couldn't get out after pushing it open.

Xie Toad smiled, his whole person was very thin, and he drilled out as easily as a loach drilling a hole.

He went around the guest room to the bedroom and the porter, came back and opened the door and said, "Now the people who are watching are asleep, and they are sleeping soundly. You're just going to them, and they don't know what's going on with them. ”

Xu Da pondered the words: "What are you talking about?"

"That's it. Wang Qilin punched him in the chest, "You're still playing tricks, hurry up." ”

The three of them, a cat and a dog went out, passed through the wall and went straight to the steamed bun shop.

On the way, Xu Da was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Seventh Master, is this trick you are talking about is the trick I understand?"

"Fuck off!"
