Siheyuan: You are forcing me to be reborn, right?

Chapter 104: Gathering Silly Pillar’s ​​Wool

'The door is unlocked. Mr. Cao's voice came from inside the house, and He Yuzhu came in after hearing it.

After He Yuzhu entered, he saw the old man lighting a kerosene lamp and asked, "Old man, you have a light, why don't you turn it on?" '

"I like to light a small lamp at night." Mr. Cao said in a dull voice like an old ape.

This scared He Yuzhu to the point of breaking into a cold sweat. When he looked carefully, he felt that the old man Cao in front of him did not look like himself.

However, He Yuzhu, who was well-educated, did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he bravely came to Mr. Cao and watched the old man continue to read the secret book of Maoshan.

"Old man, where did you get this book? It's contraband!"

He Yuzhu looked at the secret book and found out that it was not written in modern words. He took a closer look and found out.

This thing is actually written in something similar to classical Chinese, and under the dim light, you can vaguely see the simplicity exuding from this Maoshan secret.

"Old man, I have something to ask you." He Yuzhu picked up the kettle and poured some boiling water into the old man's tea cup.

"Old man, where do you put the tea?" He Yuzhu asked, and Mr. Cao pointed to the cabinet beside him.

"Old man, if you read like this, your eyes will be damaged!" He Yuzhu said as he came to the cabinet and opened it.

A pair of green eyes met He Yuzhu's eyes.

A small black figure emerged from the cabinet, and He Yuzhu turned his head sideways in reflex.

A cat-sized mouse landed on the ground and was looking up at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was stunned, having lived for so many years.

I have never seen such a big rat.

It's the size of an adult civet cat.

"Old man, don't tell me that this big rat is your pet??"

He Yuzhu looked and turned around to take out the tea leaves from the cabinet, but at this moment he saw a dagger inside the cabinet lying flat on the countertop.

Looking through the elongated shadow of the kerosene lamp, I was about to reach out for it, but I felt an uncomfortable feeling all over my body.

He Yuzhu retracted his hand, came to the old man's side with the tea leaves, sat down, and asked directly: "Old man, today I took your dried persimmons to sell, and I met an old shopkeeper who asked me if I was a local rat. , do you know what he means? '

Mr. Cao shook his head and continued to read Maoshan Secrets. However, He Yuzhu on the side did not feel that the old man was deaf, because when he mentioned dried persimmons and local mice, it was obvious that the old man's eyes were uncertain for a moment, and soon returned to normal. .

He Yuzhu could tell that the old man was deliberately hiding something from him, but the old man didn't want to tell it, and it was hard for He Yuzhu to ask.

"Oh, by the way, I have to give you this money." He Yuzhu took out the sold dried persimmons from his bag, and then placed the remaining money after deducting the old lady's hospitalization expenses under the kerosene lamp.

The old man didn't even look at it: "Take it, then the old lady is still in the hospital. If the money is not enough, you can ask me to get it." '

He Yuzhu looked at the books on the old man's desk carefully: "Old man, I didn't expect you to like these things. They are contraband, so you have to keep them away."

He Yuzhu took a sip of tea, and then continued to ask, regardless of whether the old man said it or not:

'Old man, I went shopping at the Panjiayuan Antique Market today, and I heard a lot about tomb robbers. '

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, the old man didn't react at all. He didn't seem to hear him.

"I said, old man, did you hear me?" He Yuzhu raised his voice and looked at Mr. Cao and asked.

"I heard, who asked you?" At this time, Mr. Cao straightened his body and looked at He Yuzhu seriously.

And at this time, He Yuzhu clearly understood that this cat-sized mouse was the old man's pet.

Such a big rat was lying obediently on Mr. Cao's lap, enjoying his comfort.

Within the scope of He Yuzhu's knowledge, the only acceptable pets are dogs or cats.

But the grinning sound of such a big mouse still made He Yuzhu feel a little uncomfortable.

Listening to this kind of laughter always makes He Yuzhu feel the grinning and playful sound that can only come from such a person.

Now I heard from a big mouse that some animals that live a long time are in touch with human nature.

This is fully reflected in this big rat, although He Yuzhu is not afraid of this kind of rat.

But the sound of the mouse laughing on the old man's lap still made He Yuzhu feel uncomfortable.

"Old man, tell me directly, were you a digger before?" He Yuzhu felt more and more that the big mouse in front of him was something special.

Under the illumination of the weak kerosene lamp, He Yuzhu began to knock carefully.

This big rat has white eyebrows and beard, and it looks like it has lived for an unknown number of years.

"Are you interested in this book The Secret of Maoshan?"

The old man stroked the big mouse's head and spoke slowly to He Yuzhu.

"Somewhat interested."

Seeing that the old man did not answer his question, He Yuzhu did not continue to ask further.

I have no choice but to be very interested in the ancient book from Maoshan in front of me.

"Old man, can you lend it to me?" He Yuzhu showed great interest.

To be honest, I didn't expect to see such ancient books on exorcism and ghost hunting in this era.

Although He Yuzhu only has a junior high school education, he doesn't know much about ancient characters.

But he is a man after all, so from the literal meaning, he can still get a general understanding.

The old man showed an imperceptible smile and handed the booklet in his hand to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu browsed through it roughly several times, but still didn't understand some words. After communicating with the old man.

With the blessing of the system of understanding and talent, I quickly understood what was written in this Maoshan book.

This is a book that teaches people how to deal with exorcism and ghost hunting, and there are also many things in it that are similar to how people should deal with hanging.

How to deal with people who drowned in the pond, and all the strange ways to ward off evil spirits and catch ghosts.

Unreliable techniques such as using incense ashes burned in the temple and mixing it with water to drink are all recorded in it.

There are also many ways to draw paper talismans and how to deal with them, as well as special formations that are needed in some special situations.

He Yuzhu was fascinated by the book, flipping through page after page of this ancient Maoshan secret book.

"If you like it, I can give you this book." The old man could tell that He Yuzhu liked it very much.

"Okay, I want to take it home and have a good look at it." He Yuzhu put away the book and took back the money from selling the dried persimmons at the old man's repeated request.

When He Yuzhu returned home, he also read the secret book of Maoshan while tutoring on rainwater homework.

I just feel that although this book is unsolved, there are even some things that cannot be explained from a scientific perspective.

But when I read it, it felt so real and real.

For example, if you rub grapefruit leaves on your eyes, you can see dark shadows.

It is said that those black shadows are people's souls.

He Yuzhu thought it was interesting. He would do an experiment next time he went out to pick up Bai Shi's banquet.

After tutoring He Yuyu's homework, He Yuzhu thought about it and planned to make Bangge suffer.

This kid started to have unclean hands and feet again. He ate whenever he could, and his food was all over the table.

Since this kid likes to eat his own food so much, then things will be much easier.

You can't do things like poisoning rodents with rat poison.

In the morning, He Yuzhu woke up naturally as usual.

While preparing breakfast for myself and my sister, I also prepared the meal for Mr. Cao in the backyard.After all, in this era, an ordinary worker's monthly salary is about [-] yuan.

In fact, He Yuzhu didn't even touch the money that Mr. Cao paid for the dried persimmons he sold last time.

This time, even if the old man pays for the old lady's treatment, there will still be several hundred left.

In other words, other people's salary for a whole year is only about [-] yuan.

He Yuzhu's family's current savings is close to over [-] yuan.

As He Yuzhu lit the fire early in the morning to make brine.

What I eat in the morning is very simple, just make braised noodles.

As the oil and gas spread throughout the hospital.

"Mom, Shazhu's family is eating delicious food again." Bangge covered his stomach.

"Didn't you just eat last night?" Qin Huairu stood up and took a look at He Yuzhu's house from the window.

"But the food made by Silly Zhu is delicious." Bang Gang pouted.

"Don't go into Shazhu's house casually in the future, you know?" Qin Huairu was still teaching him a lesson.

Jia Zhang, who was on the side, cursed He Yuzhu outside the door unhappily.

"I think this brat did it on purpose. He doesn't close the windows tightly every morning, so you can smell the smell of oil and water."

As He Yuzhu boiled the noodles under the water, Yu Yu came out of the house rubbing his eyes and washed his face in the yard with a washbasin.

Many people came out of the house carrying washbasins and towels. When they saw the rain, they asked what they had eaten so deliciously this morning.

When you wash your face with the rain and smell it, you will know: ‘It’s braised noodles. '

"I remember you ate fried dough sticks and tea eggs yesterday. Today you eat noodles."

"Oh, it's just meat every day. It's really annoying."

“I’m making delicious food every day!”

"My brother recently developed a new dish called fried chicken, which is very delicious."

He Yuzhu saw Bangjie coming out and revealed the news according to the method discussed with his brother last night.

"fried chicken??"

"What kind of dish is fried chicken? Can the chicken be fried and eaten?"

"What kind of dish is this?"

"I don't know."

He Yuzhu listened to the words and looked at Banggeng staring at him with a greedy expression.

The prepared fried chicken has been put into the oil pan and fried.

The delicious smell of fried chicken spreads throughout the courtyard.

The entire compound was attracted by this unprecedented smell.

Several curious people came forward and looked at the crispy things fried in the oil pan.

"Is this fried chicken?"

"It feels like fried meatballs. It smells really delicious."

"Yu Yu, you bring the noodles to the old man in the backyard. Go home for dinner and try the fried chicken I made for you."

"Milk, I want to eat fried chicken."

Banggeng said in a low voice, Jia Zhang had nothing to do.

It's impossible for this silly Zhu to share delicious food with his family.

I don’t know what kind of psychosis Silu Zhu has recently.

The attitude towards their family has changed drastically.

"When Silly Zhu goes to work and no one is at home, you go in to eat."

Mrs. Jia Zhang said, dragging the stick and heading back home.

"Hey, this silly Zhu, what the hell is he doing all day long!" The uncle smelled the smell, and the steamed bun in his hand no longer smelled good.

"I'm convinced too. You're doing these tricks so early in the morning. It's really not a thing!" The second uncle was also very uncomfortable at home. Several members of his family were eating porridge and pickles. Although it was served with white flour steamed buns, there was nothing wrong with it. It can be compared with the living standard of He Yuzhu's family.

"I think the Silly Zhu family will be targeted for this sooner or later." The third uncle was watering the flowers in the front yard, and he could tell by smelling the fragrance coming from whose house it was.

Apart from He Yuzhu's family, there is no other family in the entire courtyard who can eat so much oil and water early in the morning.

"I heard that I ate braised noodles this morning and made three bowls of them." The third aunt replied to Lao Yan from the side.

"No wonder Shazhu has gained a lot of weight recently. His appetite is not simple." The third uncle was talking.

He Yuzhu and Yu Yu had already pushed their bicycles to the front yard, and the couple nodded to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui watering the plants: "Third uncle, you are really leisurely and elegant early in the morning." '

"Zhuzi, wait for me." The third uncle had always wanted to curry favor with He Yuzhu and wanted to introduce the best female teacher in the school to He Yuzhu.

"Third uncle, I'm in a hurry to get to work. I'll tell you something later." He Yuzhu quickened his pace and left the courtyard.

On the way, Yu Yu asked him what he added to the fried chicken when he left.

He Yuzhu just smiled: "You will know when the time comes."

As the people in the courtyard left, Jia Zhang walked around in the front yard and back yard.

After Mrs. Jia and Zhang made sure they all went to work, the three aunts also went back to sleep.

"Banggan, go in and get it, and you have to bring one out for Nai Nai so that Nai Nai can have a taste, you know?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang looked forward to it seriously. She went to eat it secretly last time.

He didn't even mention bringing it to her, which made Mrs. Jia Zhang a little dissatisfied.

I love my precious grandson so much, but it is not okay for my grandson to eat alone.

"Mom, what did you say? He Yuzhu's house has just been renovated. How do you get in?"

While Qin Huairu was talking, she looked at Banggeng: "If you go in, you have to bring it out to your mother and father to try it, you know? You can't eat alone." '

"Didn't you say you don't want to eat? What's the matter, you want to eat when you see me eating?" Mrs. Jia Zhang did not give Qin Huairu a good look.

You can eat whatever you want, and you said you don’t want children to do this, so you’re just pretending.

Qin Huairu has long been curious about the taste of fried chicken. Since Banggeng is going to get fried chicken, it would be delicious if the whole family eats it together.

"Just now when Silly Zhu left the courtyard, I went to look at the window of his house. The fried chicken was placed on the table. Mom, milk, please wait a moment and bring it to Silly Zhu's house immediately!"

Bangge originally wanted to enter Shazhu's house through the window opened in the eaves of He Yuzhu's house.

But Banggeng discovered that although the door of He Yuzhu's house was closed, the window of Shazhu's bedroom was not closed.

All he had to do was find a stool and he could crawl through the window, thinking that fried chicken was just around the corner.

"Mom, milk, wait for me, I'll get it out for you right now."

　Readers, I would like to ask, do I want to mix exorcism and ghost treatment with the daily life of the courtyard in this book, or do I mean that readers just like the daily life of the courtyard?If you don't like exorcising evil spirits and curing ghosts, then I won't write it. After all, it will be 56 years before I write it.
