I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

"You old man, you still dare to pretend to be stupid. Are you casting spells to harm people when you close the door in broad daylight? If you hadn't let the monsters in your house cast spells, I would have become like this?" Grab old man Ji's collar.

Unexpectedly, the old man didn't know where the strength came from, but he bumped hard at him, causing him to retreat a few steps.A bunch of people gathered around who wanted to watch the excitement, but no one dared to step forward when they saw Wang Laoer's appearance.

"You old man still dares to bump into me, believe it or not, I will break your old bone!" Wang Lao Er said viciously, clutching his chest.

"There are monsters, I'll kill you!" Old man Ji was obviously frightened, and shouted hysterically, he took the broom behind the door in a panic, lifted it up, and hit Wang Laoer.

"Oh, oh, you still dare to hit me, you are unreasonable!" The broom seemed to have eyes, and it always loved to run towards Wang Laoer, and he couldn't dodge it.

"Scare you, stinky monster, scare you!" Old man Ji shouted loudly while chasing and beating Wang's second son with a broom, and even some people watching around clapped their hands.

Wang Lao Er's duck feathers are so painful that he can't stand it when he is touched on weekdays. What's more, let him be beaten by a broom made of bamboo, so many duck feathers fly off his body, it's no wonder that Wang Lao Er jumps without pain.

"Oh, don't hit, don't hit, I'm not a monster, I'm human!" Wang Laoer ran, tripping with his left foot and right foot, showing a flat fall to the onlookers.

The old man Ji held up the broom, panted heavily, and looked at him suspiciously, "Are you really human?"

That posture, as if as long as Wang Laoer dared to say a word, he would definitely be hit by a broom in the next second.

"I'm really human, sir, can't you hear my voice?" Wang Lao Er pointed at himself, "I, Wang Lao Er!"

"Nonsense, why does Wang Laoer grow duck feathers? I think you are still a monster, you should be hit!" Old man Ji made a gesture to hit him, but Wang Laoer hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait, I'm really the second child, I'm really the second child! The duck feathers on my body are because..."

"Because of what?"

"Because your monster is causing trouble... Oh, sir, don't hit, don't hit." Wang Er Er rolled on the ground in pain.

"Nonsense, where did the monster come from in my house!"

"I'm not lying, no, the fox fairy invited by the witch said that there is a dried lotus flower, which is a monster, and it is placed in your study!"

"How dare you talk nonsense, if there are monsters in my family, why don't they harm us, not others, but you. Are you telling the truth, or are you telling the truth!" Old man Ji said, his men's actions were not at all You're welcome, the broom hit the duck feathers flying around, and there were endless screams.

"Don't hit, don't hit, old man don't hit." A woman rushed over and threw herself on Wang Lao Er.

"Wang's daughter-in-law, get out of the way, I want to hear from Wang Er, what does his hair have to do with my family!" Old man Ji stopped his movements and said to the woman.

Wang Lao Er's daughter-in-law saw Wang Lao Er trembling and crying, and gritted her teeth, "Old man, this is our fault. My Erlang shouldn't have stolen your duck. We already know that we are wrong, so please forgive me." There are a lot of them, let him be spared once."

"What, you stole my ducks, why do you steal my ducks!" Old man Ji said aggressively with a broom in one hand and his other hand on his waist.

"It's all because Erlang was obsessed with ghosts for a while, so you can let him go and give us the dried lotus."

"Hmph, not to mention that I don't have any dried lotuses in my house. Even if I did, I wouldn't give Wang Laoer a duck thief. He stole my duck and dared to come to my house to make trouble. Fortunately, my grandson is not at home. If he is scared , I must work hard with you.”

"Oh, sir, I really know I was wrong, just let me go, I have already been beaten like this by you, you can't let me go for nothing, right?" Wang Laoer is gone just now With arrogance, he hides behind his wife and said cowardly.

"You thieves who stole ducks, hurry up. What does your long hair have to do with my family? I think you deserve it. You have done too many bad things and you have been punished! Brats, I usually like to steal chickens and dogs, and I don’t care about production, bah No matter how old you are, you still rely on your old lady to support you. People like you are wasting food. You can feed a dog better than you!" Old man Ji yelled angrily.

Wang Laoer listened, as if his body was not so itchy. When he lowered his head, there was a piece of duck feather on the ground, and so much duck feather fell off his body.Wang Laoer thought of the old fairy in the dream again, so it is possible that what he said was true, and he was overjoyed.

"Uncle Ji, don't stop, don't stop, keep scolding me!" Wang Er Er boldly jumped out from behind his wife and shouted with a big laugh.

Old man Ji looked at him strangely, could it be that this person is crazy, how could anyone take the initiative to scold him?

"Come on, why don't you stop scolding!" Wang Er Er was a little anxious.

"Daughter-in-law of the Wang family, I won't pursue the matter of the duck. Take Wang Er to see a doctor quickly. I think there is something wrong with his mind!" Old Man Ji said.

"If you don't scold me, you won't leave." Wang Laoer thought for a while, and then said, "You don't know yet, two years ago, I also stole the chicken that your family lost."

"what are you!"

"That's right, that's right, come and scold me!" Wang Laoer had a mean face.

Old man Ji sank into his dantian, held the broom with both hands, and yelled, "Don't run, I'll kill you bastard!"

……

When Ji Zihe came home from school at night, there was a pile of duck feathers scattered at the door, and Huang Jiulang was sweeping with a broom.

"Did our family kill the ducks? Why are they throwing duck feathers everywhere?" Ji Zihe asked.

Huang Jiulang shook his head, "I don't know, it's already like this when I come back from herding cattle."

On the other hand, Gu Gu looked clear when he saw the duck feathers in this place, thinking about when it would be appropriate for him to claim credit.

After entering the door, Ji Zihe saw that old man Ji was holding a knife and gesticulating on the neck of a chicken. Next to him were two fat ducks with their legs bound and a chicken with their legs bound.

"Grandpa, why are you killing so many chickens and ducks today? Are there any guests coming?" Ji Zihe asked.

"No, this is an apology from Wang Laoer to our family." Old man Ji stopped his movements, put the knife across the chicken's neck, and raised his head to talk to Ji Zihe. The chicken stretched its head out of fear and dared not move.

"How could he be so kind?"

Old man Ji snorted coldly, "Who knows what's wrong with him, he came to the door today and admitted that he stole our duck, and he also stole the chicken that was lost two years ago. I beat him up , he sent two chickens and two ducks, saying it was an apology for me."

Seeing the smirk on Gu Gu's face, Ji Zihe probably knew, "Where did the duck feathers at the door come from?"

"It's a strange thing to say, it grew on that kid's body. You insisted that it was the dried lotus monster in your study, and asked me to hand over the dried lotus to him. Later, I insisted on scolding him, but I don't know how to do it. , all the hair on his body fell out. By the way, is there really any lotus flower monster in your study?"

"No, of course not." Ji Zihe immediately shook his head. If he said yes, his grandfather would definitely ask him to throw away the dried lotus immediately. "Wang's second child has never been to my study, how could he know what is in my study?" , he must have made it up."

"That's right, it's okay, don't stand here, go to study, I have to deal with these chickens and ducks. It's a pity, such big chickens and ducks can't be fed well, and they will lose a catty a day after raising them. We can only kill them all," said the old man Ji.

Ji Zihe entered the study obediently, and quickly rummaged through the box to find the dried lotus, and put it in his schoolbag.

"Little Hezi, what are you doing?"

"I don't think I can keep it at home anymore." How anyone would know of its existence, he obviously didn't tell anyone.

"That's a good idea, are you finally going to throw it away?" Bone was quite happy.

"I plan to secretly ask for leave tomorrow, and go to Dawangzhuang to find Mr. Yinyang. By the way, Wang Er's matter has something to do with you."

"Of course." If the bone had a tail, it would probably be up to the sky at this moment, "We two are with each other, stealing your duck is stealing my duck, I will definitely vent your anger on you .”

"Don't shoot at others casually in the future. Normal people don't grow hair, otherwise they wouldn't suspect that there are monsters in our house."

Bone's tail drooped, his eyes showed a fierce look, like a big cat about to catch fire at any time, "Are you unhappy? I don't think I'm wrong at all."

"I'm very happy, Gu Gu, you are very smart. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to find a way to make Wang Er take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and even send an apology. You know, he can even delay the debt owed to the village chief by two taels of silver." Not now. I just think that if you are so smart, there must be a better way to solve this matter, after all, we really have several monsters in our family." Ji Zihe tried to smooth things over.

Bones accepted Ji Zihe's compliment very vainly, and boasted to each other in a very hypocritical manner, "Actually, you are not that stupid, you are just a little worse than me. Well, since you are asking so sincerely Me, then I will reluctantly promise you that you will pay attention in the future. You humans are really troublesome, with so many rules and regulations, it is really tiring to be a human being."

"But I think the gods are more tiring. People only live for a hundred years, and they will experience joy and sorrow once, which is enough. And those gods and monks like you have lived for many years. Don't you feel bored after living so long?"

"No, it may be hundreds of years before you open your eyes once you close your eyes. You are busy practicing every day, so there is no time to be bored... Wait, so to speak, boredom is not boring anymore. Why do you feel so bored? Tired." The bones are shriveled, and I practice every day, practice, when will I be tall!

"Cheer up."

Looking at Ji Zihe, Gu Gu didn't know what to think of, and his mood suddenly improved, "Actually, I found that you are more tired than you. At least I don't have to memorize my homework every day. I see you tirelessly writing on the paper every day." Written in densely packed small prints, my head is almost getting bigger. Compared with you, I think I am really too relaxed."

Ji Zihe: ...

Goodbye, friends!Is your happiness all based on your friend's misfortune? It's really too disrespectful!Also, don't try to quibble anymore, you are obviously worse than me, so dying like this is meaningless.

O false brotherhood!
