Chapter 12: Ma Lei Zi

  Northeastern Wild Fairy Tales Record

  Since I last dreamed of my grandfather, I haven't had any dreams. Nor have I seen Grandpa again, and because of school, I gradually forgot about it. The only thing is that the Teng Long Quan is still quietly lying in my backpack, and later my grandmother was afraid that I would ruin the book by running around every day, so she found a yellow oil paper to make a book cover for me to carry in my backpack.

  As for my grandmother's meticulousness, I don't think so. From time to time, I will take it out and glance at it for a few eyes, but there are still too many things inside that I don't understand. After reading for a while, my head gets dizzy and sleepy, so every time it's just a few minutes before I put it away casually again.

  Time passed in the joy of my childhood ignorance, and before I knew it, the big snow was falling, and winter had arrived. My grandmother would sit on the kang every day with a brazier in her arms, doing needlework. And I was also on winter break, playing with the white fox on the warm kang at home.

  In the evening, my grandmother had just finished cooking and cleaning up the table when a loud thunderous sound came from outside. At this time, the remnants left behind by the original bandit leader in the northeast were to prevent Zhang San from entering the village.

  Suddenly, there was a loud thunderclap. My grandmother and I rushed out to see what was happening outside, but the sky had already darkened. It even started snowing lightly outside, and we saw people running towards the source of the sound on the main road in front of our house to see what was going on.

  I turned back into the house and put on everything including my down jacket, tied up my shoelaces and wore my big cotton shoes, then I just said hello to my grandma and ran out.

  Ignoring my grandmother's shouts from behind, this winter was originally a season without anything interesting to do. Now that something like this has happened, how could I not go and take a look?

  It just so happened that when I went out, I saw Cui Xiaobo leading my second uncle walking forward. Seeing my second uncle, I also hurriedly walked up to him and asked: "Second Uncle, what's going on, who set off the firecrackers?"

  Before I could say anything, Cui Xiaobo spoke up and said: "Second brother, hurry up! The corpse of that rat spirit is right in the courtyard. In my whole life, I've never seen a rat as big as this!"

  I was even more curious when I heard it, and my second uncle was also pulled by Cui Xiaobo and didn't have time to talk to me.

  I just followed them from a distance, they were adults with big strides, I couldn't keep up, and soon they pulled away from me. By the time I arrived at Cui Xiaobo's house, I saw a group of people in the courtyard, seemingly surrounding something, pointing and gesturing.

  I just pushed open the crowd and drilled in, after entering, I immediately wanted to go out on the spot, but the people behind me were eager to squeeze forward, and for a while, I couldn't get out after drilling in.

  On the ground was a mouse, about the size of a cat, its fur no longer gray but black, pure black, with blood flowing all over its body, some of which had already coagulated. The cold weather, combined with the wound, still caused the blood to flow out of the wound.

  It looks like I'm vomiting up the food I just ate. Before, when I saw mice, my heart was only disgusted, but now it's a bit nauseous, and at the same time, there is still a thread of fear in my heart, and children are still small-minded.

  And the Second Master in the field also saw me, but at this time he couldn't care about me either. Instead, he said to Cui Xiaobo: "What's going on? This is obviously a refined ash immortal, and you guys are bold enough to dare to kill an ash immortal. Don't you fear the immortal family's revenge, turning your family upside down?"

  He said that my second uncle was clearly already angry, and he was originally a disciple of the Xian family. Although not a gray immortal, it can be said that he is a representative of the Xian family in the mortal world. Seeing Cui Xiaobo's family kill a member of the Xian family, he felt both anger and deep fear and apprehension.

  These years, Hui Xian usually doesn't come out easily, but now suddenly seeing one, my second uncle's heart suddenly has a kind of ominous feeling appearing in his heart.

  Hui Xian was also prosperous in the early years, but for some reason, Bai Xian and Hui Xian seemed to have suddenly disappeared from people's sight. And now they suddenly appear, which is abnormal, and looking at the dead body of that Hui Xian, its shape and color are still there, this is actually a Hui Xian with about 100 years of cultivation, already having some Taoist accomplishments.

  But in the end, he was killed in this village. Although the ancient saying goes that injustice has a head and debt has a master, if not handled properly, it may bring disaster to the entire village.

  So my second uncle was loudly questioning Cui Xiaobo, and Cui Xiaobo usually smiled when he saw my second uncle, but this time he suddenly lost his temper, and in his heart, he was still a little frightened.

  It was Cui Xiaobo's father, Old Man Cui, who came out of the house and said to my Second Uncle in a trembling voice: "Second Master, don't blame Xiaobo for this. It's all my doing. Listen to me, it's like this."

  It turned out that this matter was not actually blaming Old Man Cui, but because of this grey immortal who didn't know what happened and suddenly rushed into the Cui's house.

  After dinner today, the old Cui family is a family gathered together to start wrapping dumplings. The wrapped dumplings are placed outside and frozen. When hungry at night or during the Chinese New Year, they can be taken out and cooked directly, very convenient.

  But who would have thought that just as they were about to wrap up, a woman suddenly walked in from outside, wearing a black cotton-padded jacket and pants, bringing a chill into the room with her as the door opened.

  Cui Xiaobo saw that this woman was not a local and asked in puzzlement: "Who are you? What's the matter?"

  "Big brother, I'm from the village ahead, but my husband got drunk and beat me up. I was so angry that I just walked out. But when I wanted to go back later, it started snowing. Now it's getting dark too, I'd like to ask if I can stay at your place for a night? I'll leave tomorrow and won't disturb you." The woman said with a sad face.

  Looking at her expression, it doesn't seem like she's lying. Besides, it's indeed snowing outside now. If it's still snowing with thick fog when we head back and we run into Zhang San or someone else, I'm afraid this woman might not be able to make it back.

  Lao Cui and his wife also felt a bit sympathetic, so Lao Cui's wife, who was sitting on the kang, spoke up: "Girl, hurry up and warm yourself by the fire, stay here for tonight and go back tomorrow."

  The woman almost burst into tears when she heard Old Mrs. Cui's words, and hastily entered the house to express her gratitude. Later, after warming up, seeing them wrapping dumplings, she said: "Let me help you with that, auntie?"

  As soon as she offered to help, Old Mrs. Cui also didn't refuse, smiling and saying: "Then let's work together a bit, later I'll get your uncle to boil some water and cook something, you haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? Eat a bit more later."

  The old lady was also a kind-hearted person, seeing that the woman was having a hard time too, so she told the old man to go boil some water.

  The old man also moved down from the kang and went to the outer room to boil water. At this time, it was dark outside and the lights had already been turned on. The old man was boiling water in the outer room, perhaps he glanced through the window at the room inside.

  This look at that time almost didn't wet there, you say old man saw what.

  All that was seen on the west wall was a shadow, which wasn't a woman at all, but an old mouse eating something mouthful by mouthful. As the woman sitting on the kang moved, it was eating dumpling filling.

  Stealing beams and replacing pillars, taking advantage of wrapping dumplings, secretly sending the filling into one's belly.

  As the saying goes, having an old man at home is like having a treasure. This statement is not false. The old man finally came to the lower house with a trembling body, took out the firecrackers that had been stored for many years, and secretly placed them on the stove king's altar in the outer kitchen. He tied the fuse of the firecracker and the rope of the candle together, and hid the firecracker. Then he called Cui Xiaobo to the outer house and whispered to him about the discovery. As soon as Cui Xiaobo heard that a mouse had become a spirit at home, his scalp was also numb. However, the old man knew in his heart that this matter was not something he could handle himself, so he asked Cui Xiaobo to call my second uncle.

  He went to the lower house and pulled the switch, so the people in the house stopped their work and shouted for the old man. The old man finished pulling the switch and hurried back to the house. Old Mrs. Cui and her daughter-in-law were sitting on the kang, so the old man said: "Girl, take the lighter to the outer room, there is a candle on the stove king's altar, light one for me to bring over, I'll fix the switch."

  Just now, when the mouse entered the house, it also noticed the stove king's offering table. So, from Old Mrs. Cui's hand, she took over the lighter and lit the candle in the outer room without noticing Ma Lei Zi. However, just as she was about to pick up the candle, a loud explosion occurred, and the whole person let out a miserable scream, running out of the courtyard.

  As soon as Old Cui heard Ma Lai Zi's voice, he also pushed the switch up. At that moment, the room was bright, and Old Cui's wife and daughter-in-law were startled by the noise outside and hurriedly got down to see what had happened.

  Old Cui shouted loudly: "Close the door tightly and don't come out."

  Lao Cui's words still carried weight in the household, but Lao Cui's wife couldn't help shouting: "What's going on? Why is the doorbell ringing again?"

  At this time, the mouse came out and fell to the ground, shouting at Lao Cui's head: "Oh my god, it hurts me to death. I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill your whole family, you old donkey, actually using a stun gun to blast me."

  "It's all your own fault, you actually came to my house to harm people." Old Cui said with a loud and angry tone.

  The old mouse spirit, who was already dying after falling to the ground, looked at Lao Cui's head and shouted in a sharp voice with a face full of blood: "I curse you and your whole family to die miserably, I curse your whole family to never have peace for generations."

  After finishing speaking, he died with a sigh. Leaving Old Cui alone to look at the mouse spirit that had transformed back into its original form, while the people in the house seemed to hear voices outside and Cui Xiaobo's wife also supported Old Mrs. Cui out, seeing the mouse spirit outside, they all exclaimed and hurriedly asked Old Cui what was going on.
