The moonlight was too bright this night. Mrs. Cheng looked through the curtain and saw that the sky and the ground in front of the couch were like stagnant water and empty. For no reason, there is a sense of desertion and sparseness, which came suddenly and lingered. She lay quietly until she couldn't lie down any longer, got up and went to the ground. Pushing open the window, the wooden window made a slight "squeak" sound, and the cold moonlight leaped on his cheeks, showing a slight chill.

There was a rustling sound behind her, and she said softly, "I still woke you up."

With a smile on her face, the two little rabbit teeth gleamed in the moonlight.

Just like the smile that the naughty Cheng family boy saw when he first met a spring outing seventeen years ago, chasing a hare and rashly fell on the edge of her skirt. Two little rabbit teeth were slightly exposed from under his lips, accompanied by a crisp laughter, the fresh smile made him look up, thinking that the hare he was chasing had become a ghost.

Naturally, the hare did not become a sperm, and had already kicked and kicked its hind legs and didn't know where to go.

Leaving only a girl with rabbit teeth smiled and asked him how the green grass on the ground tasted good?

He spit out the grass in his mouth, and for some reason he was so ashamed, he ran away without looking back.

After got home, asked people around, and many people knew that she was a girl from Butcher Zhang's family in the south of the city.

The Zhang family has been Tu from generation to generation, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. don’t know how many generations it has been passed on. The older one was called Lao Zhangtu, and the younger one was called Xiao Zhangtu. This generation of Xiao Zhangtu was born at an untimely time. He caught up with the war just as he was an adult. Xiao Zhangtu joined the ar with a pig-killing knife. The way of killing people on the battlefield was also a pig-slaughtering posture. The figure is cut in half.

Five years later, the fighting ceased, and he took a lot of military salaries back to his hometown. That year, he bumped into Mr. Yin Yang who set up a stall on the street. The man said that he was too ferocious, and advised him to put down the butcher’s knife and stop killing, otherwise the consequences would be worrying. Where can Xiao Zhangtu hear it? He continued to do his ancestral business as usual, killing pigs and sheep with two sharp knives in his hands. The work was much neater than before the expedition. Craftsmanship, business will be more prosperous. He has been doing business for a few years seriously, saving a lot of belongings, tearing down the old yellow mud house, expanding it into a big house of blue bricks, and asking craftsmen to repair the ancestral tomb together. Teacher's grace. The matter of the Guangyao lintel was settled, and the flowing water table for feasting the neighbors was finished. Xiao Zhangtu was lying on the big bed in the new house alone, surrounded by the unique jerky smell of the new house, and he couldn't sleep. had no choice but to count the stars in the sky through the window lattice, and all night, the stars pulled the moon and ran away together, and only then did start thinking about getting married.

He was a neat man, got up and had a face-to-face with the sun, washed and dressed neatly, prepared a generous gift and went to the door of the matchmaker's house. Who knew that the matchmaker saw that it was him, and immediately hesitantly refused to accept it. Only then did know that Mr. Yin Yang's ominous rumors from Jiekou had already spread throughout the town, and no family with daughters in the town would want to marry their daughters to him.

At this time, several years have passed since the war and chaos years. The new emperor has been enthroned as the emperor. He loves the people like a son. , was afraid that he would give his daughter to him, and he would have a bad reputation of being greedy for money and selling women, and he would not be able to raise his head in the town in the future.

The matchmaker took pity on him, and said a few widows and disabled women, asking him to do it. Wherever Xiao Zhangtu is willing to do it, he has been alone, from Xiao Zhangtu to Lao Zhangtu, until he was forty-seven years old when he married a girl in a remote mountain village. The girl is even more diligent than he is. After coming home, the windows are clean and clean, the clothes and beddings are washed and starched, and the fragrance of women and food gradually dispels the unique jerky and earthy smell of the new house. In his spare time, Zhang Tu sat on a small stool to sharpen his knife, while sharpening his knife, he watched his new daughter-in-law who was washing clothes by the well. A seasonal flower was inserted into her hair all the year round, and she hummed a folk song while rubbing her clothes, and the beautiful flowers appeared The fragrance swayed on the black hair, and the light fragrance lingered over the small courtyard, and it did not dissipate for decades.

In the fifth year of their marriage, their daughter was born in this green-tiled courtyard full of flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables. Butcher Zhang probably knew that he was the only descendant. After discussing it with his daughter-in-law, he cared and raised his daughter as a treasure, and only wanted to recruit children.

In that year, people in Tongshui County knew that the boy from the Cheng family, who had already made a marriage proposal, was blinded by the lard from where he got it. The Wang family turned their face, just to marry a butcher's daughter. This is really too indecent, such a good marriage is not necessary, but a family that kills pigs.

Zhang Tu was also very resentful. He finally waited for his daughter to get married, and he only wanted to recruit a son-in-law who came to the house to continue the incense of the Zhang family. Unexpectedly, before he had time to let the wind out, the matchmaker who came to the Cheng family to propose marriage stepped on the threshold.

Moreover, the women are not matchmakers in the town. The townspeople are all very familiar with the villagers. The matchmakers also know his thoughts. joke.

They waited for the boy from the Cheng family to give him a good beating, and for Zhang Tu to give the whimsical boy from the Cheng family a good beating.

Mr. Cheng was beaten, and he beat him very fiercely. heard that the boy from the Cheng family who was beaten didn't get up for three months. Everyone thought that this matter was bound to come to an end. Unexpectedly, in the fourth month, the Cheng family invited an old matchmaker who had spoken on Zhang Tu's behalf and was also an elder of Zhang Tu's daughter-in-law.

Zhang Tu never knew what the old man had said to his daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law, who was originally on his side and determined to recruit children, changed her mind that night, so she did not hesitate to get angry with him, even the flowers on her temples were not tied .

Zhang Tu stared at his daughter-in-law's black and oily hair, and without the fresh and graceful flower that he was used to seeing, he returned to the backyard without a word, and spent two days alone in the backyard. On the third day, he returned to the front yard and bowed his head to admit defeat.

On the day of the marriage, Lao Zhangtu had white hair and dyed his temples, and his evil spirits were all gone. Still holding two pig-killing knives, he said harshly to the boy from the Cheng family who came to greet his relatives, if he couldn't be sorry for my daughter, he should be like this.

He exerted strength with his arms, the two blades collided, the sound of Jin Ge suddenly rang, and the two sharp knives that had been passed down for many generations were cut off in response.

After the Zhang family is dead, the two swords should naturally be cut off.

Two years later, his daughter gave birth to a twin and phoenix. On the way home after eating the full moon wine, Zhang Tu thumped his knees and fell to the ground. He never got up again.

After that, there was no Zhang Tu in Tongshui.

The brilliance turned dark, and after that, the years passed.

The Cheng family boy is already the Cheng family master, and the rabbit-tooth girl has also become Mrs. Cheng.

"I didn't wake up, and I didn't fall asleep either." Master Cheng grabbed a cloak and walked over, draped it over her, and held her hand again. The tentacles were cold, and he couldn't help but feel resentment. , when you are the rabbit of Chang'e's family?"

"I'm a rabbit, who is Chang'e?" Mrs. Cheng stroked her bulging belly and said with a smile, "I'm in a panic, you accompany me out for a walk."

"It's cold at night, where are you going?"

"Let's go and see Xiangzhi," Mrs. Cheng said. "She has lost a lot of money in recent days. I can't help worrying about it. Let the girl prepare some snacks and send them over together."

Master Cheng agreed, and summoned the girl to warm up the hot soup and snacks, holding the food box in one hand and his wife in the other, and the two walked slowly under the continuous moonlight.

The couple walked side by side, bypassing the veranda and pavilion, and just stepped into his daughter's small courtyard. Master Cheng suddenly released the hand that was holding his wife and covered his chest. Madam Cheng asked in surprise what was wrong, and then heard There was a noise from the courtyard, like a child's voice screaming, "You broke my uncle's tail and asked my uncle to marry you, so I don't want a vicious little aunt like you! My uncle, don't marry her! No, no, no !"

Three consecutive "don't" with a sharp end sounded straight through the night, Mr. Cheng clutched his chest tightly, and the small jade sign hanging close to his chest suddenly became hot, causing his flesh to hurt.

Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, and she rushed into the yard without her husband's pull, shouting "Xiangzhi!"

The small courtyard suddenly became silent, and even the wind was silent. The willow branches no longer sway, and the fragrance of flowers no longer wafts.

Master Cheng clutched his chest, which had never been so hot before, and ran after his wife all the way. In the deadly silence, he saw a fiery red figure standing in front of his wife and reached out to stop her. "Who are you, and how did you show up at my house in the middle of the night! Where is my daughter?" Mrs. Cheng protected her bulging belly. She was so worried that she didn't even have time to think of it. She raised her head and stared at the fiery red man in front of her. , said angrily, "Get out of my way!" Master Cheng caught up, covering his chest with one hand and holding the food box he forgot to put down in the other, shouting, "Evil, let go of my wife!" Min Yan froze for a moment , asked him, "How do you know I'm a demon?"

At the same time, another surprised voice came Zhang "Xu Mingshi?"

Minyan turned back and saw Shen Jue walking out of the shadow of the tree, with a rare expression of disbelief on his face, staring straight at the funny Mr. Cheng who was covering his chest, carrying the food box and trying to protect his wife. , and asked another sentence, "Xu Mingshi?"

"Who is Xu Mingshi?" Mr. Cheng was at a loss for a moment, and suddenly returned to the gods, "What kind of monsters are you, what are you doing in my house? Where is my daughter?"

"Xu Mingshi?" Min Yan was also stunned for a moment, and then he regained his expression, and with a soft "Oh", Daozhang said, "It turned out to be Xu Mingshi."

Minyan used a little magic to immobilize the Cheng couple and turned to ask Shen Juezhang, "Is he the one who killed your mother?"

Shen Jue nodded and shook his head again, "I thought he had already repaid the love of the rabbit spirit and became an immortal, but he was still rolling in the red dust. Now there is no Xu Mingshi, I think too much."

"Bunny?"

Min Yan looked at the two of them carefully, walked up and grabbed Mrs. Cheng's arm and squeezed, ignoring the glaring eyes of the two of them, pinched Mrs. Cheng from head to toe, and then went to pinch Master Cheng, and also squeezed him. He pinched it from head to toe, and asked Cheng Xiangzhizhang in the shade, "Do you know their birthdays?"

Cheng Xiangzhi hesitated for a while, knowing that this incident happened, and the truth must not be concealed. Although he didn't know what Min Yan was going to do, he showed up and reported the birthdays of the Cheng couple.

Min Yan laughed and said to Shen Jue, "You old man is really stupid, and love can be wrong. This woman has such light bones and extremely thin characters, she is not the person he is looking for."

Before Shen Jue spoke, Cheng Xiangzhi said, "Are you going to be sympathetic?"

"Small tricks." Min Yan said and asked her again, "Has this Master Cheng ever engaged in a marriage?"

Cheng Xiangzhi thought about it and said, "I ordered a baby girl, and she is the young lady of the Wang family."

Min Yan laughed again, stretched out his hand and poked his forehead twice, and said coldly, "That lady of the Wang family is the rabbit spirit in your life, you are so stupid, you abandoned the immortal class and went to the red dust. , in the end, even people can find mistakes." The more he said it, the more ridiculous it became, this is really a rare funny thing, Min Yan sighed, "My sister died at the hands of you idiot."

He said again, "As for your daughter, she has been dead for two years. The current Cheng Xiangzhi is just a fox demon who answered your daughter's last words and pretended to be her."

Master Cheng was confused all the way, until now he was stunned, looked at Cheng Xiangzhi behind him in disbelief, remembered that every time he saw his daughter in the past two years, the jade card on his chest was faintly hot. This talisman handed down by his ancestors is said to be a psychic thing. He has never cared about it, just regarded it as a gimmick and nonsense. Even if he has a fever, he should think too much about her and never doubt her.

That was his daughter, how could he doubt her.

Master Cheng wanted to ask, but he couldn't move at all, so he could only stare at Cheng Xiangzhi, the moonlight sprinkled on her familiar face, and the facial features were familiar and cute. The baby that can be held up with only one hand has grown into an unparalleled age, why is it no longer his daughter all of a sudden?

"I'm not Cheng Xiangzhi." Gray Fox hesitated for a moment, and finally admitted Zhang, "Your daughter died of a cold two years ago. Do you remember the gray fox she saved when she was five years old? That's me. I was rescued by her, and when she died, I promised her to hide from you and serve you by my side."

Min Yan unlocked the technique, the Cheng couple still stood upright, but their eyes gradually dimmed in her words, as if they were suddenly old.

"Ms. Cheng said that she was underage and could not enter the ancestral grave after her death, and she did not want to be buried alone in the wilderness. She asked me to turn her bones into ashes and scatter them in the courtyard. This is the courtyard." She glanced at her face and saw her true appearance. She was also a young girl named Pingping Tingting. She said in a weak voice, "She begged me before she died. I really had no choice, so I had to agree." fall down.
