Land god

This Dong Zirui has a chivalrous demeanor, he is considered a brother to the ghost envoys under his seat, the place where they drink and eat is also in a spacious hall, there are ten or twenty tables, everyone eats, drinks and laughs together.

Du Qian felt that this was a bit like eating banquets in his hometown when he was a child, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Dong Zirui's wine here was refined from very strong spirits. After the meal, after drinking more than a dozen bowls, I was a little overwhelmed, so I was helped down and arranged a room to sleep.

After Du Qian fell asleep, Dong Zirui sat in the hall discussing matters with his brothers. Although he drank more than Du Qian, he was not drunk at all.

"Brother, this Tubo seems to be kind, and he doesn't use his status to overwhelm others." One of the shirtless, short, dark-faced men first discussed with Dong Zirui.

"Well, that's true." Dong Zirui nodded.

"Did he mention what to do in our Yanyun City? Could it be that he came here to take advantage of something?" A ghostly emissary with very clever eyes thought about it.

"I said I came to see that big fool Wang Kexiu to reminisce about the old days." Dong Zirui seemed to find it interesting when he said this, and laughed out loud.

"Huh? He is a god, how can he make friends with mortals?" The short dark-faced ghost was puzzled.

"Tch, doesn't our eldest brother often transform into a ghost to drink with knights among mortals?" A ghost messenger at the side immediately retorted disdainfully.

"Go!" Dong Zirui smiled and stopped the emissary: ​​"How can this kind of thing be said on the bright side? If the old man Chenghuang finds out, I'm afraid he will miss me again!"

The ghost messengers around hurriedly smiled and nodded in agreement, expressing that they must keep the secret.

I saw that Dong Zirui said again: "Looking at the situation, this uncle seems to have a lot of friendship with that stupid big man, but it's not sure, you guys have arranged for me recently, keep an eye on it, don't let that stupid big man If you are at a disadvantage, be smart and don't be discovered by others."

All the ghost envoys agreed one after another, and said with a smile: "That stupid big man is very temperamental, and he has been thinking that after he dies, he will be taken into our earth temple to have fun together. Naturally, we have to take good care of him." So that the future brothers will not be bullied."

Dong Zirui laughed and scolded: "Don't mess with me, the person who came this time is not something you can offend, come back and report to me if you have anything to do!" Then he dismissed a group of younger brothers, but he was wobbly Come out of the Earth Temple, ride a yellow horse at the gate of the temple and go out.

Du Qian woke up early the next morning, only feeling comfortable and refreshed, but he didn't have the uncomfortable feeling of hangover when he was a mortal. As soon as he went out, he met a smiling ghost. After he finished, he saluted with a smile and said: "Lord Tubo, our lord has not come back since we went out last night, but before he left, he reminded the children to pay attention to the person you are looking for. That person has already returned to the city this morning. The little one leads the adults there?"

Du Qian was overjoyed when he heard that, he immediately pulled the ghost envoy and left, because it was already dawn, so he took the ghost envoy with him to escape. The meeting led Du Qian to the place.

Du Qian emerged from the shadow of the corner, and saw a courtyard with three entrances. Although there were no luxurious decorations, it was obviously a wealthy family. It was the time of the new year, and red couplets were hung on the doors. Carved lanterns hang from the eaves.

Du Qian said in his heart, this is the home of the bald head. He saw it and felt a little cordial and excited.

The bald head's family background seems to be good~ Du Qian felt a little relieved, originally he was worried that he would suffer!

However, just as he was thinking this way, he saw a door opened with a bang! Wang Kexiu came in from the door covered in frost and mist, with a big black bear on his back.

He was already much taller than others, and carrying a huge black bear on his back, the height of the door was completely insufficient. When entering the door, he had to bend his body extremely low, almost crawling in.If so, the first time he entered the door, he yelled to the courtyard: "Mom! Brother, sister-in-law, I'm back!"

"Boom!" The bald head happily threw the prey in the middle of the yard, and looked at the room expectantly, like a child who has successfully completed his homework and is waiting for praise.

Du Qian noticed that there was a claw tear on the front of his clothes. Although he didn't see any blood, it gave people a shocking feeling, and he could almost imagine the danger when he fought against the black bear.

However, what responded to him was an impatient sound of opening the window, and a woman with disheveled hair poked her head out and squinted her eyes and scolded: "What are you shouting for? The rice is in the pot, go and eat it yourself!"

"Hey! Sister-in-law." Wang Kexiu stroked his bald head in embarrassment, and agreed to walk towards the kitchen.At this time, I saw an old woman wearing black cotton trousers and a black cotton jacket coming out of a side room, wearing a belt while walking, looked at Wang Kexiu and said, "Xiuwa is back, are you hurt?"

"Mother, I'm fine." The bald head regained his spirits immediately, pointed to the black bear on the ground cheerfully and said, "I searched for midnight last night, only to find a hole where the blind bear sleeps, and I hunted it back!"

"Okay." The old woman looked at the black bear on the ground with a smile, and said, "I'm good at nurturing babies. Mother will heat you up. Come here."

The scene just now made Du Qian frowned, he didn't let the bald head find himself.He quietly followed the bald head into their kitchen.

Like ordinary kitchens, it is dark and greasy here, but the chopping board and stove are still clean. Wang Kexiu's mother added fine firewood to the stove, ignited the stored fire, and lifted the lid to look. He sighed and said, "I left some meat for you last night, but you didn't come back, so your sister-in-law brought it to your Aunt Zhang next door. Now there is only a can of corn rice and some wild vegetable dumplings left. Mother will help you warm it up." One heat."

Seeing the bald head licking his lips, Du Qian seemed to be looking forward to the missed meat, but he smiled honestly and said, "It's okay, as long as you can eat enough."

After the meal was cooked, Wang Kexiu's mother suddenly pulled out a piece of fat from her sleeve, stuffed it into the corn and gave it to her son, saying like a thief, "Come on, eat quickly, eat quickly, don't let your sister-in-law know! "

Du Qian looked at the bald man happily eating the rough corn with the fat, and couldn't help feeling sour in his heart: This fool will be bullied everywhere!

The bald head was just eating when he heard the sound of someone splashing water outside, and then his sister-in-law's shrieking voice spread throughout the courtyard: "Scared! Such a big dead bear in the middle of the courtyard is unlucky for Chinese New Year. Brother-in-law, you are really serious, move to the back quickly, and pack up the leather quickly, the shopkeeper Duan is waiting to ask for the goods!"

"Hey, I'm going right away." Wang Kexiu swallowed the rest of the meal in two gulps, wiped his mouth and ran out in response.Du Qian looked over and saw the woman with disheveled hair carrying a copper washbasin, crossed her hands, and said with a look of boredom: "How many times have I told you, don't always be me, we are now If you move into the city, you are already a city resident, you are still so vulgar, you will lose face to our family!"

"Oh." Wang Kexiu agreed, threw the black bear on his shoulders again, and carried it to the backyard.He saw firewood as high as a hill piled up in the backyard, all of which were cut neatly with four edges and four corners. He put the black bear on the open space and took out a small knife to prepare for skinning it.

Du Qian looked around for no one, so he appeared from the ground, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and squeezed out from the back of his throat: "bald!"
