unlucky ghost

Tanzi worked so hard to fetch two buckets of water, blushed and carried them back to the kitchen.

In this way, after picking up water for a day, he was only released back to the woodshed at night.

Tan Zishi kicked open the small door of the firewood room in a depressed mood, and sat on the grass porch, looking at his bleeding palms by the moonlight.

The fifth son carried a tray with a bowl of pickled vegetables and two steamed buns on it, went into the firewood room, and threw it on the broken wooden table.

Tanzi was really tired all day, so he took a bite out of the steamed bun and spat it out again, "Why is the steamed bun so rotten?"

"I like to eat or not." The five sons took it out and fed it to the big wolf dog at the door. "You bastard, why are you pretending to be noble? The young master specially ordered it to be delivered. We don't have such a great fortune like you. We really don't know what is good or bad!"

The fifth son kicked the dog bowl, the big wolf dog raised his head, licked his mouth and barked at Tanzi twice, as if grateful.

Tanzi slammed the door impatiently, closed his clothes and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, my stomach gurgled for a while, and the pool shrank into a ball, leaning against the wall.

Tan Xi was really pitiful to see him, and before leaving, master Tan repeatedly entrusted him with tears in his eyes to entrust his precious son to him, and he didn't eat well for a few days, and the problem of starvation would be cured.

Tan Xi quietly slipped out of the room, went into the kitchen, rummaged through the cabinets, and found a few pieces of steamed sweet potatoes in a pot, and another duck leg that had been bitten.

Tanxi touched it with his hands, and it was already too cold, so he lit a fire to heat it up, wrapped it in a cloth, carried it to the woodshed, put it at the door, and knocked on the door.

Tanzi was so hungry that he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He heard a knock on the door, and saw that the door was ajar, and there was no one outside. When he went to the door, he saw a bunch of white flowers on the ground. Huge sweet potatoes and a duck leg, looking around hurriedly, saw that there was no movement in the wing rooms.

On the second day, Tanzi chopped the firewood for the whole day. When he returned to the room at night, he collapsed on the ground as if he had lost his frame. Tanxi went to the kitchen as usual, found some food and sent it to the door.

On the third day, Tan Zishi held the broom and swept the ground for the whole day.

On the fourth day, the swill of the day was picked.

On the fifth day, after washing the stables for a day, Feng Yi's two steeds shook his face with their tails.

Tanzi really swallowed his anger for a few days, and couldn't get angry in his heart, so he poured his anger on the animal, and picked up the whip to beat it.

The two steeds kicked around and neighed outside.

Tan Zishi's men didn't show mercy at all, after beating the horse, he was pushed to the ground by Feng Yi's servants, and he was given a good beating by Jian Shishi.

Twenty whips down, Tanzi really lost his arrogance, lying on his face in the dust, dying.

Feng Yi sat far away under the eaves, surrounded by a group of servants, watching with cold eyes, watching with great interest.

The fifth son jumped up and down in front of Tan Zishi, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You bastard slave, you dare to beat the young master's horse. This is a bloody BMW sent by the palace. How can you beat it!"

As he said, he dragged him back to the firewood room by his collar, and said angrily: "Young master is destined, so I won't have dinner today, you should think about it."

Tan Zishi was lying on his stomach on the bed, his face was pale and his eyes were red.

Tanxi talked for a while, and then stole food for him at night.

However, since Tan Zishi was severely beaten, his whole body suddenly became gloomy. Know to keep your head down and stop bumping.

Tanxi was secretly delighted.

This night, dark clouds covered the moon, and the cold wind was blowing. Just after the second watch, there were scattered snowflakes in the sky. The big wolf dog by the corner door shrank in the corner, whimpering from time to time.

Tan Zishi has been doing odd jobs behind Chef Wang for the past few days, and he won't let him come back until three days later.

Tanxi leaned alone at the door watching the snow falling in the sky, when suddenly he heard the big wolf dog barking, a figure slipped in through the corner door in a panic and ran towards the front yard.

Tanxi didn't want to be nosy at first, but wished that Feng's house would be ruined by thieves who stole his house and ruined his life. Just gloating, that figure walked past the kitchen quickly, and the light shone on him. Tanxi was startled, only thinking that this figure looked It looked very familiar, so he hurriedly followed.

But I saw that figure sneaking along the base of the wall, leaving the backyard, passing through the rockery, turning around into the south courtyard, turning out of the big vase, and bumping into a person, but it was Xiao Wuzi. .

The little five stared at the man with wide eyes, pulled his sleeve, dragged him to a dark place, and said in horror: "Why are you? Didn't the young master give you money and tell you to go somewhere else? Why did you come back again?" gone?"

The man held Wuzi's hand and said with a hey smile: "Brother Wuzi, what are you talking about, can't I come back to see you, anyway, I have served the young master since I was a child..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted, "Come on, don't be impatient, speak quickly if you have something to say, it won't be easy for the young master to come out and see you later."

The man let go of Wuzi's hand, scratched his head, and said embarrassingly: "Brother Wuzi, to tell you the truth, the 3000 taels of silver that the young master gave me last month was robbed by a little prostitute called Feicuilou. Now brothers I am so poor that I want to drink the northwest wind, but I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River by boat, but there is nothing I can do right now."

"You! Alas..." Wuzi looked at him and sighed.

The man hurriedly pulled him with a smile, and said, "Brother Wuzi, I did something wrong. It's just that the last time I went to the yamen to file a complaint, the young master forgot to pay for the board. Please go in and hand me over, Brother Wuzi." If I get the money, I will leave immediately."

As he said, he hurriedly patted his chest to assure.

The fifth son shook off the man's hand, looked at him in disgust, shook his head, and said, "Since that's the case, then you wait here, and I will go in and report."

As he spoke, he walked towards the brightly lit place.

The man thanked him in multiple voices, "Thank you, thank you, brother, I can't ask Wu Zi to make this trip for nothing."

The fifth son waved his hand and went in.

The man shrank his hands and feet and danced around the corner for a while, then the fifth son came out, waved to him and said, "The young master said, since I'm here today, I'll stay overnight at the house, and I won't be able to leave after I get the money tomorrow." Late."

A maid was leading the way with a lantern, and the man happily followed after hearing this.

After the two of them walked away, the fifth son sighed softly, "Oh, greed is not enough, brother, I can't help you now."

Looking at the back of the man, Tanxi always felt familiar, but couldn't remember where he saw it.

In the early morning of the next day, the heavy snow outside had just stopped, and the courtyard was covered with snow, so the housekeeper came early in the morning and woke up the servants one by one, ordering to clear the snow in the courtyard before the master got up.

Tan Zishi stood up with disheveled hair, put on a tattered padded jacket, put his hands to his mouth and moaned, and followed a group of people to clear the snow in the front yard.

After noon, the sun was getting warmer, and the snow in the courtyard had been cleared. They went back to their rooms, had lunch at noon, and went back to various places to perform their duties.

Tan Zishi was called by Chef Wang to the kitchen to help wash and chop vegetables.

"This is a knife, hold it here." Cook Wang carefully held the back of the knife and handed the handle to him.

Tanzi really held the handle of the knife, holding a turnip with one hand, and chopped it with the knife.

Cook Wang hurriedly bent down to avoid the kitchen knife, and stopped drinking: "Hey! Boy, that's not how you cut it, stop it!"

Tanzi raised the knife with his hand, and the blade rubbed against the back of his hand and chopped down. The radish was cut open, and the blade stuck into the case, which almost scared Cook Wang to death. He grabbed the kitchen knife and shouted: "You are cutting The radish is still chopping the radish, so as not to cut off Lao Tzu's face."

Tan Zi hurriedly stepped aside resentfully, but Cook Wang thought he was in the way, and said, "Go, go, go get some more water, why are you sticking around here?"

Tan Zishi picked up the bucket, picked up eight buckets back and forth four times, and the two large water tanks in the kitchen overflowed.

Back to the firewood house at night, Tanzi huddled on the grass bunk, wrapped in a tattered quilt, as soon as he fell into the darkness, he saw that fairy walking towards him.

Ever since the two chatted in their dreams that day, Tanzi no longer rolled his eyes when he saw Tanxi, nor was he afraid anymore.

Because Tanxi spent a hundred years wasted in the forest of the underworld, and then lived alone in the yang world for several years, she is naturally happy to have someone to talk with, and she often falls into Tanzi's real dream.

Although dreams are impermanent, they are not interesting.

At this time, the dream was not good, Tan Zishi was standing alone on the veranda of Tan Mansion, but the surroundings were so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.Jiang Han walked towards him, glanced at him coldly, turned sideways, and disappeared into the shadows around him, and then Lingyu Qinggu also walked over, followed Jiang Han without even looking at him .

The little pigeon followed Qin Qing, pulled his sleeve, and asked, "Master, what are you doing standing here?"

Tan Zishi looked at Jiang Han and his party with a disappointed face, "Little Pigeon, they are all gone, why don't they even look at me?"

Qin Qing said: "Why don't you keep them?"

"I..." Tanzi was speechless for a while, and hurriedly turned around and pulled the little pigeon, "Little pigeon, don't go."

The little pigeon looked back at Qin Qing, and the surrounding darkness spread over, hiding the two of them.

"Don't go..." Tan Zishi chased after two steps, bumped into Tan Xi, and fell to the ground with an "Ah Yo".

The surrounding darkness gradually dissipated.

"Why is it you again?" Tan Zishi stood up and asked.

Tan Xi touched his sore arm, and said with a smile, "It's me."

"Are you laughing or crying?" Tan Zishi took a step back.

Tanxi saw her pale figure reflected in his eyes, and hurriedly touched her face, her face was a little stiff, "I... seem to be laughing..."

Tan Zishi took another step back, "When you smiled, I remembered, that day when I toasted Mr. Liu, the face reflected in the wine bowl turned out to be your face."

"What's wrong with my face?"

"The face of the Great Immortal..." Tan Zishi hesitated, "When the Great Immortal is not smiling, his face is only slightly pale, but when he smiles, he looks like... like an evil ghost. It is really terrifying."

Tan Xi hurriedly stopped laughing, only to feel that her face was stiffer than before, but she didn't know that she laughed so frighteningly.

"What about this?" Tan Xi smiled slightly.

Tan Zishi nodded and said, "It's not scary to laugh lightly."

Tanxi touched her face with pity, and sighed in her heart, she was blinded for nothing.

While I was thinking about it, the ground below my feet had changed its appearance, the surrounding night had receded, Tan Zishi was sitting alone on the waterside, a clear stream gurgling away at my feet, and three people were vaguely sitting not far away, chatting and laughing fishing.
