Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

One person and one snake in the room trembled at the same time, Wang Huacheng muttered dissatisfiedly, and pulled the latch with his neck curled up.

The door was slowly opened "creaking and creaking", and Gu Huai's face full of anger and irritability appeared in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Huai frowned and entered the house, looked at the mess all over the floor, and shouted at a corner in the darkness, "Er Qing, come out!"

Erqing shrunk his body inward, and his two round eyes stared straight at Gu Huai, shining blue light.

Gu Huai stared at that corner, and said in a threatening tone, "I told you to come out, did you hear me?"

Er Qing wriggled out in a cowardly manner.

Wang Huacheng suddenly pointed at the green snake on the ground, and stammered, "You can't blame me for this. I just came here and saw a porcelain basin upside down on the ground. I opened it upside down. I didn't expect a snake to jump out of it." Green snake. Niangye scared me to death. Then I ran quickly, and the snake chased after me. I wanted to run outside, but unexpectedly the door was locked, and I couldn't get out!"

Gu Huai sneered: "Didn't you plug in this door, why are you pretending to be confused?"

"Oh, you're wronged, I definitely didn't plug this door in. I didn't even close the door when I came in. God knows what happened."

Gu Huai did not speak, and looked between Wang Huacheng and Erqing with suspicious eyes.

Er Qing felt guilty, he was the one who opened the door.At that time, it was sleeping soundly under the basin, suddenly its eyes lit up, and then it was woken up by a hoarse and unpleasant scream.

It was born to hate two things, one is to grab food from it, and the other is to disturb its sleep.So, he decided to punish this ungrateful guy.

In order to prevent Wang Huacheng from escaping so easily, he cast a spell, put the latch on the door, and chased after him, frightening him out of his wits.

However, it was a guilty conscience. It knew that Gu Huai would never suspect it, so it looked at Gu Huai confidently.

"Hmph, I don't know how to make a draft if I'm lying," Gu Huai said impatiently, "The door is locked from the outside, won't you pull the latch and escape?"

"I, I'm scared stupid..." Wang Huacheng scratched the back of his head.

"Go away, you are not welcome here." Gu Huai took a broom and began to clean up the tiles on the ground.

"Don't mind, brother, I'm in a bad mood today and I want to chat with you."

"roll."

"Okay, I'll get out, but let me remind you, the snake you raised looks like a fish, it must be of unusual origin, maybe it's a monster. Be careful, don't be harmed by it."

The movements in Gu Huai's hands froze there.

When Erqing heard this, smoke rose from the top of his head with anger.Its muscles tensed and the corners of its mouth twitched, trying to bite Wang Huacheng to death.

Wang Huacheng shuddered from Erqing's ready-to-attack state, and quickly turned around to run away.

"Stop." Gu Huai continued to slide the broom in his hand, sweeping the tiles with a "crash".

"Anything else?"

"Go to the cashier and count how many things you broke, and pay me for it." Gu Huai raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly, "You can't miss a penny."

"Success, I've convinced you, I'll pay, I'll pay double!" Wang Huacheng walked away in a daze while talking.

Gu Huai continued to clean up the mess.Some pieces of porcelain were too heavy to be swept with a broom, so he bent down to pick them up with his hands.As a result, by accident, the palm of my hand was cut by a sharp tile, and the dark red blood burst out, dripping two drops on the ground.

Er Qing saw the blood drops on the ground, and his heart trembled.It crawled up to Gu Huai's side, wrapped itself around Gu Huai's calf, and wanted to climb up to see his wound.As a result, as soon as he reached his knees, he was pulled off by Gu Huai and put back on the ground.

Erqing was dumbfounded. From its point of view, Gu Huai's actions meant resistance and refusal to get close to it.

Could it be that Gu Huai really believed Wang Huacheng's nonsense?

Erqing gritted his teeth in his heart and thought, it must make Wang Huacheng pay for his words and deeds.

In fact, Gu Huai did not believe Wang Huacheng's words, but there were too many chores at the moment, so he had no time to take care of the little emotions of the pet snake.

After he cleaned up the house, the sky started to turn red.Gu Huai locked the door and went home from get off work.

A day of physical work made his limbs a little sore.After this day, he still learned a lot, which gave him a sense of accomplishment, but Wang Huacheng's troubles were too bad.

When I got home, I sat at a table with my father and ate.Gu Xianrong first praised his son's spirit of taking the initiative to work hard, and then began to drag Gu Huai to talk about the daily routine.

"A strange thing happened in Datong County recently." Gu Xianrong picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, sighed twice, and said with emotion.

Gu Huai was already starving, and he didn't like to talk when eating, so he just lowered his head to pick up the rice in the bowl and didn't answer.

Gu Xianrong went on to say: "Wu Taishi from Datong County committed suicide suddenly a few days ago. Ouch, his family was so distraught. It turned out to be unexpected. Before the first seven days, Wu Taishi jumped out of the coffin Come out."

Gu Huai stopped his chopsticks, raised his head and stared blankly at his father.

"Son, tell me what's going on. At that time, you were also... you were out of breath, but you were stuffed into a coffin, but after a few days, you came back to life."

Gu Huai's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and the expression on his face was a little stiff.

"This kind of thing happens one after another, so I can't help but think about it."

Gu Huai put down his chopsticks, thinking about how to explain this matter to Gu Xianrong.Is it possible to tell him that he is not his own son, but a time traveler, and his biological son is really dead?

He scratched his hair in confusion, unable to figure out how he could have encountered such a bloody thing.

"Hey, don't talk about that," Gu Xianrong's eyes were a little red, "Father won't do anything in this life, you and your brother are safe and sound, that's better than anything else."

Gu Huai nodded vigorously, and the hands under the table tightly grabbed his clothes.

"What's even more strange is that after Wu Taishi came out of the coffin, his pants/crotch were full of blood. He fell on the ground screaming and rolling. His family was alarmed and rushed over, only to find that Wu Taishi's The lower body is already bloody and bloody, and the good-looking man is just useless like this."

Gu Huai felt a chill behind his back, and said in horror, "How could such a ridiculous thing happen?"

"There are even more absurd things. Sending the person to the doctor's place stopped the bleeding, and his life was saved. As soon as Wu Taishi woke up from a coma, he started yelling that he was He Zixiao. go home."

When Gu Huai heard the words "He Zixiao", he felt as sick as swallowing a hundred flies.

Gu Xianrong saw that his complexion was turning blue, and asked him worriedly: "Huai'er, why is your complexion so bad, are you sick again?"

"Father, don't worry, I'm just a little tired."

After finishing speaking, he quickly cleaned up the rice particles in the bowl, and went back to his room to rest.

Gu Huai lived a regular life of going out early and returning late like this for a while, and he made a lot of progress in his work, and he learned a lot about the techniques of drawing blanks, glazing and painting flowers.Wang Huacheng and Zhu Erdan didn't bother him too much, so he felt at ease.

Until one day, his father's words broke the peaceful life.

After returning home that day, Gu Huai saw Gu Xianrong holding a bowl of tea and sighing non-stop, feeling suspicious in his heart, so he asked, "What's bothering you, Daddy?"

"It's not my trouble, it's Shi Xiaolian's family."

Shi Xiaolian?Isn't that Liancheng's father?

"Today during the day, Shi Xiaolian came to my house to talk to me. He said that his beloved daughter Liancheng suddenly fell ill, and she never recovered from the illness. Seeing that she was about to die, her sister-in-law invited a monk from the Western Regions. , the monk said that he can cure Liancheng's illness with just one medicine."

"What medicine?"

"The meat of a man's chest."

"Are you kidding me?" Gu Huai shook his head and said, "In this world, there are people. I have seen someone gouging people's hearts to cure tuberculosis, and now they are going to gouging their chests to cure diseases? Don't believe that monk's nonsense. It must not be a good thing to come up with such a bad idea."

"Well, you can't have anyone's meat. The master said that the owner of this piece of meat must love Liancheng deeply and is willing to risk his life. If he is not sincere, he will not work."

Gu Huai directly laughed angrily, and said, "Master, you need to read less love novels, it's not good for your brain."

"Hey, Shi Xiaolian has spoken out, if any young man is willing to dig meat for Liancheng, marry Liancheng to him."

"Then go ask Wang Huacheng," Gu Huai joked casually, "he might be willing."

"Don't tell me, the historian really went to talk to the Wang family."

"Have you negotiated?"

"I was blasted out by the Wang family."

"Let me just say," Gu Huai said with a smile, "that Wang Huacheng is a coward. He said he wanted to marry Liancheng, but when it came to the critical moment, he ran faster than a rabbit. By the way, the money owed by that guy has not yet been paid." Still."

"Huai'er, you have always had a good relationship with that Wang Huacheng, why don't you persuade him?"

"I won't go," Gu Huai flatly refused, "how can I say that? Miss Liancheng is pitiful, and I will definitely help if I can, but there is no reason to harm others for her sake? Life and death are life and wealth. In heaven, this is her life, who did Wang Huacheng offend and must be responsible for her life?"

"Isn't this Prince a fan of Miss Shi Jia? It's not a bad idea to exchange a piece of his breast meat for a wife." Fu An, who had been standing aside, suddenly interjected.

"Shut up," Gu Huai glared at Fu'an, and said angrily, "Cut off a piece of your chest and give it to your daughter-in-law. Do you want to make this deal, huh?"

Fu'an hung his head resentfully, not daring to say anything.

Gu Huai suddenly thought of something, patted his forehead, and said, "Tsk, I really have to go to Wang's house to get back the money owed to me by that brat Wang Huacheng. It's better to say it than to sing, so it's done." Pay double, and now I haven't even seen a copper coin."
