Fourth Meow: Water Ghosts in the City
"Wool! Wool!"
The stupid dog was still barking outside. With the sparrow's more cheerful screams, Hua Jiu gradually felt some heat, stood up and shook his hair, entered the house, and pulled two cents under the old Taoist priest's pillow and put them in his mouth.
He jumped onto the yard wall lightly. Although she was a fat man, she was a flexible fat man.
After walking through the grass, I arrived at the Snail Girl Temple not long after walking. Hua Jiu climbed up the old locust tree and squatted there and looked silently at the endless stream of pilgrims.
People on Yunmeng Island believe in snail women. Many people go to sea to fish and encounter storms and deaths. They all say that they have seen a snail woman in the sea during their life and death, and were sent to the shore by the snail woman, otherwise they would have been buried in the sea.
Therefore, women on the island will come here to enjoy a incense stick when their men go out to sea.
"That's right, who did you tell me that there is a temple here? This is just a conch spirit."
A young man walked out of the temple cursing and cursing. Hua Jiu knew it was from another place at a glance. She didn't know how many such men she had seen "come to come" over the years.
As soon as the young master said this, all the pilgrims looked at him with bad eyes. Several women even took out the knife that usually killed fish from the basket.
The young master's eyelids twitched, and he quickly smiled and said, "Wrong, wrong, stutter, I'll burn incense to apologize to the naked...the snail girl."
A small stone collapsed on Hua Jiu's head. Hua Jiu lowered his head and saw a child with a big snot standing under the tree holding an egg cake, sucking his nose at her, and holding a few stones in his hand.
"Big fat meow, fat meow with money in my mouth."
Hua Jiu narrowed his eyes unhappily, jumped from the tree to the child's feet, and the child took a step back in fear.
"Meow~" Hua Jiu put down the money and screamed softly, his ears pressed against his head, and his face was obedient to rub the child's legs.
"Fat Meow, be good~" the child grinned, sniffed down, and reached out to touch Hua Jiu.
It was time for me to say that when the child's hand was about to touch Hua Jiu's head, Hua Jiu waved his claws like lightning, and the child's egg cake fell to the ground.
Hua Jiu pulled his beard, picked up two cents again, drooped his eyelids, stepped on the egg cake with expressionless face, and walked towards the fish man's ox cart in the distance.
"Wow--"
Behind him, the child's crying was heard, and Hua Jiu shook his tail leisurely, his steps became lighter and more brisk.
The old man Yu's ox cart was parked in front of the temple, and Hua Jiu jumped onto the old man Yu's ox cart, spitted two cents on the car board, and then happily hanged on the soft cushion that the old man Yu usually prepared for his wife.
The old man Yu smiled innocently, took out a piece of his own smoked dried fish from his arms and put it in front of Hua Jiu, "Mao Daxian, I'm going to enter the city again today."
"Meow!"
Old Man Yu glanced at the young master who was burning incense in front of the temple, and swung his whip. The old ox pulled the cart and headed towards Yunmeng City.
"Who did you ask the Snail Girl's Immortal Title? I didn't think much about the old man at first, but then I saw these young men and I felt strange." Old man Yu was nagging while driving the car.
Hua Jiu held the dried fish and chewed it smelled so good. After hearing what the old man fish said, the old Taoist priest's wretched smile appeared in his mind.
The Temple of the Snail Girl is covered by an old Taoist priest. Of course, the name of the Snail Girl is given by an old Taoist priest, and he did it on purpose.
"By the way, this morning, I saw the donkey of the old god at the door of Zhang Dahu's house. I asked the old god to tell me that Zhang Dahu's bad businessman has done a lot of unreasonable things. He should let the water ghosts catch them all as scapegoats. That is, the old god is kind and is willing to save them. If they save them, I don't know how many people will be bullied by Zhang Dahu in the future."
Hua Jiu pulled his ears and hugged the dried fish with both claws and made it smell good to eat.
"Also, I heard that two more playboys disappeared the day before yesterday in Yunmeng City. The next day, I was discovered without leaving. There was a watery peach blossom on my butt. I don't know if it was picked up by the banshee. It's really... to eliminate harm for the people."
The ox carts were walking on the country road with a breeze. The breeze was gentle and the plants in spring were particularly fragrant. The pedestrians I met on the road were mostly ox carts that went to the beach to pull fish into the city, and some men with trousers rolled up and working in the fields.
"Old man Yu, I brought Cat Daxian into the city again."
"Cat Big Fairy Meow, Meow Big Fairy Meow~~"
The child chased after the ox cart and ran. When the adults saw Hua Jiu, they would stop and say hello. The old man Yu smiled like a chrysanthemum at this time, and felt particularly glorious.
Hua Jiu buried her head in chewing the dried fish, occasionally pulling her ears to indicate that she knew.
This is the case for the old Taoist priest. If there is anything that needs to be done by a poor family, it is a meal and a basket of seafood. He never charges money from the poor, so most people are very enthusiastic about the old Taoist priest and her.
Finally arrived in Yunmengcheng, Hua Jiu knew from the mouth of the old man Yu that even Widow Li went to the pit several times last night.
Shaking her hair, Hua Jiu quickly rushed into the uninhabited alley.
When I found Zhang Dahu's house, the old Taoist priest's stupid donkey had a big red flower on his head and chewing the grass at the door with his mouth tilted. When I saw Hua Jiu, a deep contempt flashed through the donkey's eyes.
Sooner or later, you will be burned. Hua Jiuan spat, climbed up the crooked tree outside the yard, and then jumped from the tree into the yard. Without a few holes, he heard the voice of the old Taoist priest.
In the backyard where Zhang Dahu's family has no sunshine all year round, an altar is set up in front of the dry well covered with yellow vines. The skinny old Taoist priest was wearing a white-washed Taoist robe and holding a copper coin sword and muttering something.
The frizzy Taoist bun was tilted on the top of his head without anger, and the cold wind blew up, lifting up the old Taoist priest's robe, revealing his two legs that were not wearing pants.
Hua Jiu: (つ﹏?) It’s so terrible. This guy actually ran out with his butt naked. He is shameless.
"The Immortal Order of Emperor Lingtian, demons and monsters are on the move quickly!"
The old Taoist priest pointed the copper coin sword at the dry well, and the yard was filled with gloomy wind. The old Taoist priest's eyes were like torches, and his beard was dancing wildly. The demeanor of the fairy-like Taoist priest was impressive, and they were those two hairy legs...
"ah--"
A creepy scream came from under the dry well. Zhang Dahu, who was wearing a golden coat and fat head and big ears, weakened his legs and knelt on the ground with a thump, trembling, "Ghost Fairy, please spare me, please spare me."
The green woman grabbed the edge of the dry well with her hands. The straight black female ghost was wearing a tattered white robe, dripping with water all over her body. The hair draped in front covered most of her face. She could only see a faint green eye, staring at the old Taoist priest hatred.
Kick!
The female ghost twisted her head and limbs weirdly, and slowly crawled out of the dry well.
"Kill... Kill all..."
Endless blood poured out of the well and instantly spread to the feet of the old Taoist priest.
Seeing this, Zhang Dahu's eyes fainted, and the servants were so scared that their faces turned pale and hugged them into a ball.
The old Taoist priest was slow and grabbed his butt before he took out a yellow talisman from his arms and raised his hand to hit it out.
The yellow talisman light enveloped the female ghost. The female ghost made a harsh cry, and bursts of black smoke emerged from her body, which was quickly sucked into the yellow talisman.
After a moment, the female ghost disappeared, and the black talisman paper fell into the hands of the old Taoist priest.
As the yin energy in the backyard dissipated, a ray of sunlight shone through the slits of the tree on the dry well, and the temperature around it slowly rose.
"Wake up, the water ghost was taken away by the old god. Wake up, it's time to give the money." The servant pinched Zhang Dahu's people and pinched him several times, and Zhang Dahu finally woke up.
Zhang Dahu sat up and took a breath, and obviously felt a lighter on his body, and the air around him was no longer so cool.
After a pause, Zhang Dahu laughed silly and took out a bag of golden beans from his arms.
"The old god is boundless in magic power, and this little golden bean is not respectful."
