The weather in August was unbearably hot, the fireball-like sun was overhead, and the fire pouring down made everything languishing, not to mention people, even the puppies hiding in the shade of the trees, couldn't help but stick out their tongues, "snorting" and panting. The birds, which used to fly high in the sky, also stopped on the branches of the trees, unwilling to fly. The cicadas on the branches kept calling vigorously: "It's hot, it's hot!" Hey, there was no air conditioner in those days, so how could the heat work? Bear it! The grass on the ground, listlessly sunburned, lazily bent down, and the flowers were sunburned so that they hid their pretty little faces.
It is said that in Guifeng County, Jingzhao Prefecture, there is a small town with a large scale and simple folk customs, called Majiaji. Majiaji is located in this area of commercial traffic arteries, from the south to the north, to sell arts, to do business in the township, all pass through this, lively not. But right now, there is not even a figure to be seen on the street. Do you think, on a hot day, who would dare to come out and wander around, not afraid of tanning?
In the front street of Majiaji, there is a teahouse that is not big or small, and it is called Tianming Pavilion. It's such a hot day today, and there are really a lot of people who come to the teahouse to drink tea to escape the heat, and they can't sit down. However, there was no sound at all, and even a needle could be heard clearly when it fell to the ground.
Look at these people, not caring about eating tea, chatting, eating melon seeds, hey! But look at this woman, dressed in a white shirt and wearing a hideous and terrifying grimace mask. That's right, it was Zhang Zihan, the apprentice of Li Yuanmei, the lord of Hundred Flowers Valley. No matter how you look at it, how you look at it, hey! Zhang Zihan doesn't take it seriously at all, he still drinks his own tea and eats his own snacks leisurely.
These people are so strange: "Hey, how did this person do it, it's a hot day, wearing such a ghost thing to come out, let's not care if you scare people or not, you yourself are not too hot! ”
Zhang Zihan was busy eating tea, and suddenly heard a thin discussion from the tea house not far away:
"Hey, third brother, look at this person, could it be the female ghost who kills people and sucks blood?"
"Who knows? Dai is such a ghost thing, and he still has a guy in his hand, and he can't keep it all the ghost Rakshasa who has suffered a thousand cuts. ”
"Well, I think so. Hurry up and find a big fairy to arrest her, so as not to teach her to harm people everywhere!"
Zhang Zihan felt a pang in his heart: "Ghost Rakshasa?" The girl's family knows that this is not a good word.
Ghost Rakshasa is a legendary evil ghost, or the first evil ghost in hell, with a black body, red hair and green eyes, and extremely vicious. According to folk legend, the ghost rakshasas are mostly female evil ghosts, wearing gorgeous clothes, wearing flower crowns and headdresses, dressed up in fancy and jewelry, and seducing good men and women with their charm into the abyss of disaster where blood flows all over the place and their heads are different. Most of them are half-naked, beautiful and seductive, and have an unpredictable demonic aura all over her body to reveal her disguised and ferocious nature.
Being compared to the notorious ghost rakshasa by others, the girl's heart was not only annoyed, but she was also very happy, thinking: "The world is dark and turbid, and most of the good people will not die well. Fight ghosts with ghosts, punish evil with evil, use the sword in your hand, and kill those evil ghosts and evil ghosts who do evil and harm the good. "In this case, whenever Zhang Zihan meets an opponent, he will always report the name of the ghost rakshasa and never show his real name again.
Then listening down, Zhang Zihan's lungs almost exploded: In the past half a month, there have often been some young men and women who have lost their traces inexplicably, and when they are found, hey, guess what? All of them have turned into dry corpses, and the blood has been sucked dry. Zhang Zihan was indignant: "Damn! Which thief deserves to be killed by heaven did this? Since I was met by my ghost rakshasa, this matter is settled. ”
In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, the bright moon hangs high. The moonlight, as white as silver, poured down like flowing water, sprinkling into every corner of the town, a bright white. "Whoosh", suddenly saw a white shadow swept up the wall, hidden in the corner, and carefully looked at every corner of the town.
This person is none other than Zhang Zihan. The girl's family doesn't stay in the room in the middle of the night to sleep well, what are you doing when you come out? I stayed dead for most of the night, and I didn't even see half a ghost. The rooster crowed all over the place, the sky was slightly white, and the girl's family suddenly felt a little tired, so she had to obediently turn back to the guest room and go as a big lazy cat.
It was nearly noon, and after enough rest, the girl walked out of the room and came to the hall for dinner. was eating, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the window, a rough count, there are really a lot of people, let alone seven or eight.
But look at these people, they entered the inn lobby, and without saying a word, they all brushed around to Zhang Zihan. Suddenly, I heard someone exclaim, "Mom!"
Zhang Zihan was stunned: "Mom, who are you calling mom?" His cold eyes flashed, but looking at these people, they all looked at themselves with angry eyebrows, as if they had some deep hatred. The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties, with purple and yellow skin, a slightly chubby figure, a scarf on his head, and a green shirt. Behind him were some young men in their twenties, one of whom she still knew, who was a fellow of the inn. The guy raised his head and pointed at Zhang Zihan, and said to the middle-aged man led by him: "Lord Baozheng, it's her, she's the bloodsucking female ghost." ”
"Really?" The middle-aged man stared at Zhang Zihan with his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
The guy nodded again and again: "Of course, the villain saw with his own eyes, she went out in the middle of the night and didn't come back until dawn." ”
When Zhang Zihan heard this, he understood in his heart: these people really came for themselves, and they were not good. You think, even Baozheng has been invited over, can it be a trivial matter?
You may ask, "What the hell is Baozheng?" Briefly describe that in ancient times, in towns and villages, every 10 households were given a guarantee, and a chief was set up; every 50 households were given a large guarantee, and every 10 households (that is, 500 households) were set up to be protected; and the leader of the capital was called Du Baozheng, and there was also a deputy Baozheng. At that time, the family population was relatively large, with an average of five people per household, and about 2,500 people in 500 households.
Bao Zheng stretched out his hand and stroked the sparse beard under his chin, coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said, "Girl, there is a way, right and wrong, good and evil are at ease in people's hearts. If you do it, please wait with me until the yamen goes on a trip, and in front of the county magistrate, bow your head and confess your guilt, confess your guilt, and strive for leniency. If you don't do it, then it's better, please follow us to the county office, the county commander will be clear about right and wrong, good at judging right and wrong, and he will return you a fair. ”
As the saying goes, the eight-character yamen opens to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money. There is an old saying that there are two official words, the upper one is reasonable, and the lower one is reasonable. Zhang Zihan is like a mirror in his heart, no matter whether he is guilty or not, once he enters the yamen, he will definitely not be able to please him. Taking a sip of tea, he asked in a cold voice: "Dare to ask Lord Baozheng, I don't know what crime the little woman has committed, what kind of law has she committed, why did she go with you to the yamen?"
When Bao Zheng heard this, he was displeased: "So, the girl is not willing to wait with me?"
Zhang Zihan didn't argue, and calmly replied: "If you can't convince the little girl, you won't be able to obey your fate." ”
Bao Zheng's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "So, offended! With a wave of his hand, six or seven young men wiped their sleeves with their arms, and stepped forward to take the girl.
Zhang Zihan took a look: "If you want to do it, the girl will accompany you." "Huh" raised his foot and kicked over a ......
There were only five or six people on both sides, but look at these people, except for one who was upright, who was lying on his stomach, and who was lying down, none of them were standing. Look at this Lord Baozheng again, he is still commanding, it's good at this time, and he trembles and becomes a grandson: "The heroine spares her life, the heroine spares her life." ”
Zhang Zihan shouted coldly: "Baozheng Daren, send to take people, your eyes must be brighter, don't be wronged by good people!" After finishing speaking, he removed the scabbard from his neck, and walked out of the inn as if he was fine, came to the stable, took the white horse, and left the Ma family set.
It hasn't been long since the girl left, hey! This upright old boy immediately became angry. Pulling the collar of his clothes, his eyes glared, and he said coldly: "Hmph, stinky girl, it's against you." Wait for me, someone can cure you! Lao Huang, I'm going to go to the yamen. Prepare a horse for me!" It didn't take much effort, but the two of them led a tall brown and yellow horse, and they dragged his ass from behind, and helped our Lord Baozheng to the horse.
The sun is scorching, and the heat is unbearable. Zhang Zihan left Majiaji, and was not in a hurry, driving the horse slowly, and when he approached, he came to a crystal clear stream. She was so depressed in her heart: first, she was wronged for no reason, which was naturally very unpleasant. Second, if the "evil ghost kills people and sucks blood" incident is not resolved, the girl's family always has a knot in her heart that cannot be solved. She decided that she must settle the matter properly before leaving.
On a hot day, ordinary people can't stand it outdoors at all, but fortunately, Zhang Zihan has a miraculous feat, and he is not as afraid of heat as ordinary people. After driving for a long time, the girl's family suddenly felt that her mouth and tongue were dry, so she turned over and dismounted, and the horses were freed to eat grass and drink water on their own. The girl's family came to the bank of the stream, slowly squatted down, the green onion and white jade fingers lightly plucked the duckweed, held the stream water, drank two sips, only felt clear and sweet, very thirst-quenching.
After drinking water, I suddenly saw a grimace on the surface of the stream, which was so scary. The girl's family came back to her senses and smiled indifferently: "Ping Suli specializes in scaring people, and now I scare myself, it's really retribution!" Zhang Zihan stroked his beautiful and ruddy face with his hand, and muttered to himself: "Together, this is me! I haven't seen you for a long time, and I almost can't recognize it." "Just ask, how many people in this world really know themselves?
Zhang Zihan washed his face with stream water in his hand, which was refreshing and lubricated, and very comfortable. The stars flashed, looking around, the green grass, the weeping willows, the water waves, and the duckweed. Between the green mountains and green waters, the scenery is beautiful and intoxicating.
In a good mood, I suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and in a blink of an eye, a group of people and horses flashed in front of me. But look at the people who came, they were all dressed in the clothes of county officials, with knives hanging from their waists and holding chains. Count carefully, even people and horses, no more, no less, exactly eight horses.
Behind these people, there was also a ride, a sturdy and tall brown and yellow horse, and a fat man in a green cloth shirt, who was clearly the Lord Baozheng. Zhang Zihan gritted his teeth: "Dare to love the old boy, go to the county government to move troops, and bring me." The girl's family didn't care about it at all, put on her grimace again, and came leisurely to a big willow tree, sat down next to her, closed her eyes, and recuperated: "If you come, you will be safe! Girl, I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I run away? ”
Bao Zheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw the girl sitting under the tree from a distance, with the strength under her feet, and drove her horse to the county official who was the head, raised her hand and pointed at the girl, and said, "Please look at the flower catcher, that is the thief." ”
Hua Zhutou nodded: "Very good! Up!" With a wave of his hand, the accompanying yacha dismounted one after another, and came forward with a brush, forming a semi-arc, and surrounding Zhang Zihan in the middle. Hua Zhutou squeezed forward, held the waist knife in his hand, and shouted: "Bah! bold thief, he will be arrested before he is restrained." ”
Zhang Zihan's cold eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Dare to ask the poor master, I don't know what crime the little girl has committed, why did she lead the crowd to embarrass me?"
Hua Zhutou responded: "You have done evil, mutilated innocent people, and even assaulted public officials with weapons, and you dare to say that you are not guilty? ”
Zhang Zihan waved his hand: "Wait!
Hua Zhutou "snorted" and said, "When I arrived at the county hall, I don't have to worry about having no evidence." ”
Zhang Zihan smiled secretly: "The official government yamen has a mouth, and it can be unreasonable to kill ghosts." If your life is not good, and you really have to meet a fool who doesn't know right and wrong, doesn't distinguish between black and white, and doesn't argue between good and evil, then isn't your little life dangerous?"
"Bold!" The surnamed Hua was furious, pulled out his waist knife with a "swish", and shouted: "The thief is unreasonable, questioning the official to handle the case, it is another crime, hurry up and take it down for me." The accompanying yacha said a sigh, "bang, la" shook the chain in his hand, and stepped forward to lock the girl.
Zhang Zihan looked at it, anger rose from his heart, evil was born to the side of the gall, his eyes opened under his eyebrows, and he gritted his teeth: "Damn! "Huh" swept the hall leg, followed by "poof, poof, poof", planted three down, jumped up, "banged" the ground, and kicked another crooked one......
If you want to say that these county government officials take some petty theft, ruffians and hooligans on weekdays, that is reasonable. However, when encountering a martial arts master like Zhang Zihan, it is definitely for nothing. didn't have a cup of tea, and the eight people who rushed to beat down four pairs of girls for the girl's house.
Fortunately, the girl's family knew the severity of their actions, and did not intend to take their lives, but just used some crude fists and feet to punish them a little. Bao Zheng saw that the momentum was not good, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran.
The girl's family was really annoyed with him, how could he let him go so easily? Running out three paces away, he grabbed the girl's family, stretched out his left hand, grabbed his collar by the neck, poked his right hand, grabbed his trouser belt, and struggled, "Whoosh," good fellow! The old boy fell into the river, and his hands and feet flew straight into the river: "Help...... help!"
The girl's family didn't intend to take his life, and when they saw that they had tortured him enough, they pointed to the ground on their toes, and a white shadow of "whoosh" swept across the water, like an eagle catching a chick, and "lifted" the big fat pig out of the water, and the toes tapped the duckweed, and flew back to the shore with a "whoosh", "poof", and threw Baozheng to the ground. Back and forth, it's like a delphin.
Baozheng this old boy, "sparsely" vomited a lot, "sloppy", and spit out a small fish. When he vomited out the water poured into his stomach, he "coo-dong", lying on the ground on all fours, panting: "Oh! Mom, my grandma! I almost didn't drown our old yellow." Zhang Zihan punished these people a little, and his heart was relieved. Glancing at the nine people lying on the ground, he snorted coldly: "If I am really a murderous and blood-sucking demon, at this moment, where are you still alive? "Jumped on horseback and ran straight in the direction of the county seat.
Seeing the girl leaving, she didn't dare to move, who would dare to step forward to find someone who was beaten, a cheap bone! When she had recovered her strength, Hua Zhutou rushed to Baozheng and counted down: "It's all your fault for this old thing, which makes our grandfather so embarrassed." Why do you have to go back?"
This Lord Baozheng, like the rooster who lost the fight, lowered his head and didn't speak, he couldn't help it, he couldn't afford to mess with others.
Turning back to the county government, Hua Zhutou avoided the matter lightly, and wanted to cover up the past like this, but I didn't expect it to let people see it. Do you think, these people have faces on their faces, and the county magistrate is not a fool, can he not see it?
The county master is so angry, his face is green. "Smack", slapped the table, and scolded: "You group of wine bags and rice bags! You can't even hold a girl, it's really useless." It's all a bunch of straw bales and rice buckets. I'm so angry. "Sit down, pour a sip of tea, and if you don't pay attention, the tea water diverges the way, and you almost didn't choke the county master to death. "Smack", slammed the teacup, and then scolded: "Tell me, what is the use of your wine bags and rice bags?"
Hua Zhutou spread his hands and said with a bitter face: "My lord, it's no wonder that these little ones are too powerful." ”
"Fart!" The county magistrate was furious: "It's obvious that you straw bale rice buckets are incompetent." It's a shame for you to tell me how my Bu Shiren's subordinates raised your group of rice buckets. If this spreads out, where will I put my old face?"
There was a yacha named Song Er at the bottom, and the heart of the scolded was really angry, the puppy rolled his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Who can you complain about, what kind of general, what kind of soldiers." ”
Bu Shiren slapped the table, pinched his waist and shouted, "What did you say?"
Song Er took a look: "Oh! It's not good! I dare to let this master hear it." Hurriedly greeted his cheeks, greeted him twice, and said with a bitter face: "The old man is angry!
The county magistrate Bu Shiren stroked his mustache and snorted coldly: "Let the dog fart again, see if the master doesn't beat you on the board." He took a sip of tea and said, "If something like this happens, it depends on myself." I'll tell you the truth, sir, I reported this matter early in the morning, and in a few days, someone will come from above, and he is still a master, and he is capable, much more capable than you straw bale rice buckets. ”
When these few heard this, their hearts were happy, why? The burden on their shoulders was finally lifted, and they no longer had to run to be beaten by the Lord. scrambling to pat Bu Shiren's ass: "The master is wise, the master is wise." ”
Bu Shiren likes to hear this the most. Holding a mustache in his hand, he smiled and said: "That's it, if the lord is not capable, can he be the county master? Besides, relying on your few pieces of material alone, my black yarn hat will not be able to keep it for a long time." ”
When Song Er heard this, he rolled his eyes and pouted, "Hmph!
"Smack", the table slammed: "You dare to fart again?" Song Er hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and didn't dare to speak anymore. I still wondered in my heart: "This old thing, I usually can't carry my ears well, why is he so smart today?"
If you want me to say, Song Er, you kid lacks a string in his brain! On weekdays, if you ask him to do something, like borrowing some money or something, of course he pretends not to hear! But now you always fart in front of him, can he not work? Hey, no brain.
These people scolded the county magistrate Bu Shiren for splitting his head and covering his face, and withdrew from the government in frustration. I had no choice but to scrape together a little money and drink a little wine outside to relieve the depression in my heart. Hey, you say it's not a bag?
Let's talk about Zhang Zihan again. The girl's family didn't take the county government's wine bags and rice bags in their eyes at all, and still went to the city to live in the hotel. During the day, stay in your room and rest. At night, I came to the street, pretending to be a fairy and catching a ghost, but I didn't find anything for two days.
But it happened that this afternoon, the girl went to the street to do some business, and ran into the county government and the plague gods, and she didn't say a few words, guess what? Hey, there was another fight. This one is in hand, it's broken! The girl has met an opponent, dare to be affectionate, and the capable person has arrived-
