Chapter 8: Burning at the Stake
"What? Kill a pig, and let the Rakshasa girl run away?" Zhang Dashan was so angry that he jumped up from the chair, restless, "I tied this Rakshasa girl to the stake with my own hands, how could I let it escape, could it be that there is a spy among you, let it go?"
The leader vigorously defended: "Zhang Dashanren, you have wronged us too much! We have done nothing, and besides, how can we have the opportunity to release it in front of everyone......
"According to what you say, did the Rakshasa Woman turn into a wisp of green smoke and extinguish the ashes?" Zhang Dashan interrupted him without waiting for the leader to finish speaking, and he was furious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This, this, this, and this ......" was asked by Zhang Dashanren's words, "Zhang Dashanren, I want to say, it's it...... It's really turned into a puff of green smoke and it's gone, can you believe it?"
"Presumptuous! Talk nonsense with me here again, believe it or not, I will treat you as that Rakshasa woman, and burn you at the stake?!"
"It's absolutely true! My Zhang Dashan man! The villagers who were present and watching can all testify!" The leader was speechless, and pointed to the entourage behind him and said: "If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you ask them!"
Zhang Dashan moved his gaze to the entourage to whom he was directed, and the entourage said tremblingly:
"I, I, I...... I did see that the Rakshasa was so well tied at the stake that she somehow turned into a wisp of green smoke and was gone! It's gone! It's terrible! Will it come out and eat people again? Will the next one eat me?"
"Okay!" Zhang Dashan listened to the entourage say the same, and the frightened look didn't look like he was lying, and slapped the table, "Come with me to the stake to take a look!"
Zhang Dashan picked up the bright pig slaughtering knife from the table, and walked towards the stake in a hurry, followed by more than a dozen people behind him, and Sun Wumao and Sha Wuyu also followed.
The streets were deserted, in stark contrast to the previous bustling scene, and the group followed behind Zhang Dashan and arrived at the stake.
Zhang Dashan held a pig-slaughtering knife in his hand, took three steps and made two steps, and strode to the stake at the stake. He looked up and down at the stake, kicked away the dry wood, picked up the chains scattered on the ground, and found nothing unusual, so he was convinced that the Rakshasa had really evaporated from the world.
He turned to look at the sunset that was about to set, and said to everyone: "The Rakshasa Lady has indeed run away, the sun is about to set, you should go home now, close the doors and windows, and don't come out again!
As soon as Zhang Dashanren said this, everyone was in an uproar, and they all hugged their heads and ran home.
"You two should go home quickly, wait for the sun to go down, and it will be dangerous to run into that Rakshasa girl!" Zhang Dashan saw that Sun Wumao and Sha Wuyu did not leave, so he advised.
"Zhang Dashanren, forgive the juniors for taking the liberty and having a lot of confusion in their hearts, can you give the juniors some guidance?" Sun Wumao wanted to probe the wind from Zhang Dashanren's mouth to see if it was the same Rakshasa girl he met last night.
"Yes, but we have to get home before the sun goes down, or we'll talk as we go!"
The yin wind blew, and the three of them hurried to Zhang Dashan's house.
"Who is this Rakshasa girl, who caused all the villagers to change their complexions?" Sun Wumao asked Zhang Dashanren.
This Rakshasa is a man-eating ghost, with a blue body, green hair, and red eyes, and often transforms into a beautiful woman or a handsome man at night, seducing the villagers, waiting for an opportunity to eat them, and more than 30 villagers have lost their lives and become feces in its stomach. Zhang Dashanren looked helpless, sighed, "Alas...... It seems that this time it is even worse, it will definitely come back for revenge, I don't know whose death will be tonight. ”
Zhang Dashan continued: "It's really strange! This Rakshasa woman was so well tied up at the stake that stake, how could she disappear out of thin air? God doesn't have long eyes, and actually helping a man-eating evil ghost is simply aiding and abetting!"
Sun Wumao remembered the scene he saw outside the mural, so he said to Zhang Dashanren: "Rakshasa Girl ran to another world, and we are now in a mural, and Sha Wuyu and I ran in from the world outside the mural, do you believe it?"
When Zhang Dashan heard this, he was confused, and said with a serious face: "What? Another world? You say that we are in a mural? How is it possible, the people on the mural are all dead and can't move, we are all living people, how can it be on the mural? What else did the Rakshasa woman run out of the mural? If you want to say that it ran into the mural, I think there is still this possibility, don't be joking!"
There is no better way for the Monkey Cat to prove the existence of another real world for people in a real world. But that's not the point, it's still the Rakshasa Woman's matter that matters, so she turned the conversation back:
"Zhang Dashanren, you have helped me, and it is time for me to repay your kindness. Believe it or not, I did fight the Rakshasa outside the fresco, and although I am not sure that it was the same, I can conclude from your description that it was the same thing, that it was not my opponent on land, and that it had tried to lure me into the river. I see that your roof is the highest, and I will stand on that roof tonight, observing the movement of the street, and no trace of wind and grass can escape my eyes and ears, and if it steps on this street, I will be able to catch it!"
"Oh, can you go up to my roof?" Zhang Dashan thought he was talking about a fool's dream.
Sun Wumao snorted, jumped up lightly, stepped on the courtyard wall on the side of the street, and quickly climbed onto a roof.
Zhang Dashan saw that he did have some kung fu, and although the roof of his house was high, it should not be a problem with his skills, so he took him back.
Sun Wumao tumbled off the roof, and the three of them continued to move forward until they reached the door of Zhang Dashan's house, and the night had quietly fallen at this time.
Zhang Dashan's courtyard wall was high, the servant opened the door, the three of them walked into the courtyard, the yard was overgrown with wild grass, Zhang Dashan personally plugged in the door bolt, dragged it, and made sure that the plug was strong, so he took Sun Wumao and Sha Wuyu into the house with confidence.
Zhang Dashan showed them to sit, poured a pot of tea, and opened his mouth first: "I can't hide it, I have a huge courtyard, now only I live with a servant, I used to have a lady and a daughter, and dozens of servants, but then my wife and daughter were eaten by the Rakshasa woman, and then five servants were also eaten, I was afraid that something would happen again, so I dismissed them, leaving only one servant to watch the door and cook." ”
"Then why did the Rakshasa woman go against you?" asked Sun Wumao.
"It's against me, it's against all the villagers!" Zhang Dashan hid his face and cried bitterly, but he didn't expect that this cold-blooded butcher with five big and three thick faces and a beard actually had a fragile side in his heart.
Zhang Dashan wiped his tears and continued: "That Rakshasa girl is a heinous evil ghost, who eats us kind folks, and when she catches it this time, she must not let it run away, and if she doesn't do anything, she will be burned to ashes!"
By this time, the servant had already brought a table of food, steaming and fragrant, with pig's ears, elbows, roast leg of lamb, roast chicken, and even steamed fish. Sun Wumao glanced at the steamed fish, still steaming, and then at the sand fish, trying to imagine what kind of mood he would be if there was a steaming "steamed cat" lying on this plate.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Sun Wumao said to Sha Wuyu, who was expressionless: "Wuyu, are you tired?
Sha Wuyu stood up, smiled, and said to Zhang Dashanren: "Zhang Dashanren, the little woman has been tired from running around recently, her body is not very well, and she can't eat, can you find me a room to rest first?"
Zhang Dashan kept it, and when he saw that Sha Wuyu insisted on leaving the table, he instructed the servants to arrange a room for her.
The meal was almost finished, and Sun Wucat ate a lot more in order to have enough physical strength to catch the Rakshasa at night, but he didn't move the steamed fish and pig ears, after all, one was the same thing as his friend, and the other was the same thing as his friend's owner.
"Zhang Dashanren, thank you for your hospitality again, I see that it has been dark for a while, I want to go to the roof to observe the movement on the street now, the sooner the better, so as not to miss the opportunity and be harmed by the Rakshasa girl. Sun Wumao got up and said.
"I'll come with you!" Zhang Dashan also got up and picked up the pig slaughtering knife.
Sun Wumao hurriedly waved his hand: "You don't have to work hard, I am enough to deal with it for ten Rakshasa women alone, and besides, your roof is so high, it is not easy for you to go up." ”
Zhang Dashan thought about it, Sun Wumao was right, since he was so sure and indeed extraordinary, he didn't go, don't be busy and didn't help, but added to the chaos: "Okay, then I'll work hard for you tonight, don't talk to the woman when you meet her, so as not to fall into the trap of the Rakshasa woman, remember! Be careful!"
"Well, Zhang Dashanren should rest early, I'll go!" Sun Wumao didn't stop doing anything, went out of the house, carefully checked every corner of the yard, and jumped on the roof after making sure that the yard was absolutely safe.
The breeze blows, the cicadas chirp, and the white full moon hangs high above the starry sky, illuminating the land desolate. Sun Wumao stood on the ridge of the roof, crossed his arms, facing the street, staring at everything in front of him, a little wind and grass would not escape his eyes, the only unsatisfactory thing was that the cicada song of the hundred miles had a great interference with his originally sensitive ears.
The sky gradually brightened, and there were gradually pedestrians on the street, unexpectedly, this night did not wait for the Rakshasa Woman's appreciation, I don't know if it knew the arrival of the Monkey Cat and did not dare to show up, or it had already left here, it seemed, everything was fine.
"Ahh......h Zhang Dashan man! Eaten by the Rakshasa Woman!"
There was a panicked scream from Zhang Dashanren's dormitory, and a panicked servant rushed into the courtyard, apparently frightened.
Sun Wumao heard the sound and rolled off the roof and ran to the door of Zhang Dashanren's bedroom, Sha Wuyu heard the cry and hurriedly pushed the door out of his bedroom.
Before they could enter the house, the two were stunned by the scene in the house.
I saw Zhang Dashanren's head standing on the ground bloodily, staring at the door in astonishment, above the head ironically against his inseparable pig-slaughtering knife, next to the head was a pile of scattered bone shelves, soaked in bright red blood all over the ground, miserable.
Obviously, these are the skeletons of Zhang Dashan, and he was eaten alive.
