Chapter 30 Chapter Twenty Eight

That night, Zhang Yaoye, who was sleeping in the pile of firewood in the kitchen, did not sleep peacefully. He had nightmares again and again, being entangled by pythons and bitten by sunspots.Zhang Yaoye ran away screaming and screaming in his dream, and Heizi suddenly turned into lunatic Zhang Zikun again.The messy dreams made Mr. Zhang Yao very exhausted. He sat up and didn't want to sleep anymore, but his mind was still groggy. He didn't have a clock to tell the time, and he didn't know what time it was.It was estimated that it was around midnight, so Zhang Yaoye, who was sitting in the firewood pile, wanted to smoke leaf cigarettes. He had just struck a match when he suddenly saw a big living person standing beside him.

Zhang Yaoye jumped up from the pile of firewood with a bang!He exclaimed in surprise, "Who are you?" The lit match fell to the ground and went out. The kitchen was suddenly plunged into extreme terror and darkness. Master Zhang Yao was about to yell that there is a ghost, but the person in the darkness spoke first: "If you don't yell, I won't hurt you!" The voice was piercingly cold, like a ghost talking. Zhang Yaoye's calf was weak, and except for the fear of his soul leaving his body, he could not make any sound from his throat, and his body slipped along the wall and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, at this time, Heizi let out two barking sounds... The ghost seemed to be very afraid of Heizi's cry, and like a gust of dark wind, it opened the door of the stove and floated out. Master Zhang Yao was completely frightened, he gasped for a while on the ground at the corner of the wall before gaining some strength, his back and chest were drenched in cold sweat. At this time, the door of the stove room was pushed open again, and a short ghostly figure flashed in.Master Zhang Yao shouted loudly, "Is that Master Tuo?" Sure enough, it was Master Tuo, who started babbling in the dark.

Maybe it was Heizi's cry that woke up Master Tuo, so he rushed over. Hearing Master Tuo's voice, Zhang Yaoye finally had the strength to get up from the ground, and said, "I wish you had come earlier, you might have caught that ghost." While talking about Master Zhang Yao, he lit the kerosene lamp on the stove with a match. The dark kitchen finally lit up.With the help of the dim light, Zhang Yaoye saw that there was a bulging white cloth bag next to the pile of firewood he was lying on just now. Master Zhang Yao's eyes widened in surprise. Something is moving in the pocket!

Zhang Yaoye looked at Master Tuo in horror.He didn't dare to go up to see what was in the cloth pocket. Master Tuo also looked at this weird bag, with a pair of yin and yang eyes rolling around. The mouth of the cloth bag was tied tightly with a hemp rope. Zhang Yaoye said to himself: "What is in this dog day? Isn't it a bunch of snakes?" As he spoke, he found a stick and boldly poked lightly at the contents of the bag. The contents of the bag moved more and more violently.Master Zhang Yao kept trembling in his heart. Master Tuo walked up at this time, he grabbed the cloth bag and went to untie the rope that tied the opening.

Master Zhang Yao went up to hold him and said, "Be careful, it's a poisonous snake, it will cause trouble if it bites you." Master Tuo couldn't hear what Zhang Yaoye said at all, but turned his head to look at Zhang Yaoye, and grinned at Zhang Yaoye. This evil smile came out of Master Tuo's ugly face in the middle of the night, Zhang Yaoye's heart tightened immediately! The hemp rope tied to the pocket was tied in a tight knot, Master Tuo untied it for a while, then simply lowered his head and bit the rope with his teeth. Master Zhang Yao had already moved to the door, and opened the half-closed door of the stove, ready to take the door and escape at any time.

The strange thing is that there is no creaking sound when the stove door is turned.Master Zhang Yao didn't realize this little detail until he pushed the door, so he lowered his head to look at the hinge of the wooden door.The hinges of the wooden door were poured with water. No wonder the wooden door, which usually creaks, opened and closed without a sound today. It seems that the ghost-like person just now must be a habitual criminal who opened the door and entered the house at night.This kind of night-time burglary is generally only used by thieves. What Zhang Yaoye can confirm now is that the shadow just now is definitely not a ghost, but a real person.

He turned all his attention back to the bag that Master Tuo was untying... During the process of the cloth bag being opened by Tuo Master, Zhang Yaoye was so nervous that his eyes were like bull's eyes. He looked at the cloth bag slowly opened by Tuo Master without blinking, and his throat was so nervous that There was a little clucking sound. When Master Tuo finally opened the pocket to reveal the contents, Zhang Yaoye suddenly slumped on the threshold of the kitchen. The bag contained chicken! Sitting on the threshold, Zhang Yaoye, whose will was completely slackened, said weakly: "Which bastard did this? It scared me! I know who it is, and I will kill him!"

After finishing speaking, I gasped... Master Tuo took out the three chickens in his pocket, and there was half a bag of flour under the chickens. Master Tuo looked at the chicken and the flour in the cloth bag, and was stunned for a while, then a very strange smile appeared on his face.He turned around and ran outside, not noticing Zhang Yaoye who was sitting on the threshold, and almost threw Zhang Yaoye over the threshold and fell on his back. Zhang Yaoye cursed at Master Tuo: "What are you doing so frightened and frightened? The ghost is kicking up?" And Master Tuo had already run to the window of the room where Bai Xiaoyang and Granny Zhang slept and patted the window vigorously, still babbling with excitement.

Mr. Zhang Yao, who was weak in hands and feet, sat on the threshold and complained, saying: "What are you doing in the middle of the night to quarrel with Yue mother and son?" And the light of the kerosene lamp was already on in the room... Both Bai Xiaoyang and Granny Zhang came out of the main room wrapped in padded jackets. Master Tuo went up and grabbed Bai Xiaoyang's hand, and dragged Bai Xiaoyang into the stove like an excited child while gesticulating wildly at Bai Xiaoyang. Bai Xiaoyang, who was sleeping ignorantly, didn't seem to be fully awake yet, and she was a little confused about what Master Tuo's gesture meant.While being led away by Master Tuo, he asked Master Zhang who was still sitting on the threshold: "Master Yao, what happened again?"

Zhang Yaoye said in a disconcerting tone, "How do I know why he went crazy and quarreled you?" Master Tuo pulled Bai Xiaoyang directly to the cloth bag containing chicken and flour, and continued to babble and draw with Bai Xiaoyang.Bai Xiaoyang looked at the pile of things on the ground, with a puzzled look on his face, he asked Master Tuo, "Where did this come from?" Bai Xiaoyang asked Master Tuo in a warm and gentle voice. Master Tuo continued to gesticulate, with a very excited expression on his face. Bai Xiaoyang looked warmly at Master Tuo who was gesticulating with sympathy. She seemed to understand what Master Tuo wanted to express. She squatted down, touched the cloth pocket with her hand, buried her head, and settled there without any words. It's quiet. Master Zhang Yao and Granny Zhang looked at the couple with doubts on their faces. Suddenly, Bai Xiaoyang raised his head, staring at the dusty roof with his beautiful eyes, without saying a word. Master Zhang Yao and Granny Zhang felt surprised and strange. They walked over and followed Bai Xiaoyang's gaze towards the dark roof. There was nothing but dense dust. When she looked away and looked at Bai Xiaoyang again, two lines of crystal tears flowed from Bai Xiaoyang's fair and handsome face... Master Zhang Yao and Granny Zhang looked at each other in blank dismay. Bai Xiaoyang's beautiful eyes were blurred by the crystal clear tears, his straight nose twitched slightly, and the tears flowed into two clear streams on his pure white face... The excited expression on Master Tuo's face was also swept away, and a pair of yin and yang eyes looked at Bai Xiaoyang with concern. Zhang Yaoye tentatively asked Bai Xiaoyang softly, "Xiaobai, what's the matter?" Bai Xiaoyang came back to his senses, hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and whispered, "It's nothing, Master Yao, I suddenly remembered something I shouldn't have remembered." As he said that, Bai Xiaoyang gave Zhang Yaoye a faint smile, stood up, and his expression returned to his kind and amiable appearance. She said to Zhang Yaoye: "Yaoye, put these things away and put them away, and don't let the people in the village know." After saying that, he walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the main room. Zhang Yaoye suddenly felt a little lonely from Bai Xiaoyang's back... Zhang Yaoye said to Grandma Zhang: "This Xiaobai's belly must be filled with endless bitterness. Alas! In this world, how can all good people be in trouble?" Granny Zhang scolded Mr. Zhang Yao: "You are getting more and more ungrateful. After only one day, you will know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy?" Master Zhang Yao shook his head and fell silent. And Master Tuo lost the excitement just now, and went back to sleep in the firewood pile a little dejectedly. Granny Zhang said at this time: "Who knows that there is a confinement person at home? Sending chicken and flour over in the middle of the night?" Zhang Yaoye said: "I don't know either! It almost scared me to death, being sneaky." "What about these things?" "What should I do? Stew it for Xiaobai! The shed chicken feathers should be hidden well, preferably buried under the persimmon tree in the courtyard, so that the people in the village can't see it. There are too many people talking. In this world, it's hard to live alone. Easy! Oh!" Master Zhang Yao also looked very preoccupied at this time...
