Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

In the evening of the next day, Lu Pan floated into Zhu Erdan's house as usual to find him for a drink.

As soon as he came in, he saw Zhu Erdan sitting at the wine table and looking at him with a smile. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food and wine.

Lu Pan looked at a table of delicious food and wine, his eyes sparkled.He wondered in his heart, why did Zhu Erdan look so happy today, could it be that the seven-aperture exquisite heart he changed for him played a role?

He sat opposite Zhu Erdan and said with a smile: "Brother Erdan, is there any happy event today?"

Zhu Erdan smiled and cupped his hands at Lu Pan: "Thank you, sir, for giving Xiaosheng a seven-apertured exquisite heart. Since Xiaosheng got this heart, not only his ability to write poems and articles has improved a lot, even those friends who looked down on me in the past Look at me differently."

Lu Juan was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair.He returned his heart to Zhu Erdan secretly, but Zhu Erdan unexpectedly found out.

He quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that Zhu Erdan, who had changed his mind, had really become extremely smart.He coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "That...it's really great."

Zhu Erdan poured a glass of wine for Lu Pan, raised the glass and solemnly said to Lu Pan: "This is all thanks to the judge, you are my reborn parents of Zhu Erdan. Even if I, Zhu Erdan, will repay you well !"

Lu Ban said you're welcome, but he was happy in his heart. He took Zhu Erdan's wine glass and drank it down.

While exaggeratingly praising Lu Pan, Zhu Erdan handed Lu Pan several more glasses of wine, and Lu Pan drank all of them, and he became slightly tipsy after a while.

Zhu Erdan looked at Lu Pan's drunken black face, smiled calmly, and asked in a cautious voice: "Master Judge, Erdan has something else on his mind, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Lu Pan waved his hand boldly, and said, "You just say it's okay, as long as it's something that I, Lu Pan, can do, I will definitely help you."

Zhu Erdan sighed and said with a sad expression, "It's about my wife."

"Oh? What's the matter, madam?"

"My wife is very kind, virtuous and gentle. I was born so stupid, and she has never disliked me, but her... Her appearance is really not good-looking."

Lu Juan was in a dilemma. He stroked his beard and sighed softly: "Oh, brother, this woman can't just look at her appearance. As long as the wife is virtuous and virtuous, there is no need to demand anything else."

Zhu Erdan lowered his head angrily, and said aggrievedly: "I also know that I shouldn't be so demanding, and I shouldn't think that she is not beautiful enough. But... But my group of friends laugh at my wife for being ugly all day long. I Of course it doesn't matter, but my wife feels very sad when she hears it. How can I bear to see her feel so inferior about her appearance all day that she can't lift her head?"

Lu Juan still sat there frowning and hesitating.

Zhu Erdan fell to his knees with a "plop", and cried to Lu Juan: "Master Judge, please help me! Give my wife a young and beautiful face!"

Lu Pan quickly supported him and said, "What are you doing, get up quickly."

Zhu Erdan shook his head and struggled and said, "If you don't agree, I will kneel and die here!"

Lu Juan frowned and thought for a moment, finally nodded reluctantly and said: "Since you are so determined, then I will try to help you. I will find a beautiful head for my wife and replace it for her. It's just This head may not be found..."

When Zhu Erdan heard this, he immediately grinned. He jumped up from the ground and walked to Lu Judge, and leaned into his ear and said, "Master Judge, I don't know how to use a beautiful head!"

"Oh?"

"Behind the pottery urn containing the exquisite heart with seven apertures in the underworld, there is a secret passage leading to an ice cellar. Inside there is the body of a beautiful little lady. The little lady has been dead for hundreds of years. Use her brain."

Lu Pan looked at Zhu Erdan in astonishment: "Why do you know so much about the underworld? The pottery urn is only accessible to the clergy, so how do you know that there is a secret passage hidden behind it?"

Zhu Erdan smiled lightly, and said in a deceptive tone: "After I changed my heart, I know everything in the world, so I naturally know that this beautiful head is hidden in the underworld."

Lu Pan was already so drunk that he was not so clear-headed. He heard Zhu Erdan's explanation in a clear and logical manner, so he didn't think about it any more, but secretly lamented the magical power of this exquisite heart with seven apertures in his heart.

Under Zhu Erdan's repeated pleading, Lu Juan vaguely agreed.That night, he rushed to the underworld, took the head of the beauty's body, and flew to Zhu Erdan's house again.

When he saw the corpse hidden in the ice cellar just now, he was stunned in place on the spot.The female corpse's face was as white as snow, lying on the platform made of ice and snow.Although she has been dead for hundreds of years, it can still be seen that this woman is as beautiful as the person in the painting.

However, the woman was wearing a shabby sackcloth, and her exposed snow-white neck and back of her hands were covered with dense scars.It seems that she was not a rich lady, and she must have suffered a lot of torture before she died.

After he cut off the woman's head, he packed it in a sack.

After Lu Pan flew to Zhu Erdan's house, he went straight to Zhu Erdan's wife Xu's bedroom.

At this time, Mrs. Xu was lying on her side on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.Lu Pan tiptoed to the bed and looked at Xu's face by the moonlight.

This is the face of an ordinary middle-aged woman. Although it is not ugly enough to frighten others, there is really no trace of beauty that is pleasing to the eye.Lu Pan took out his dagger and slashed at Xu's neck, causing Xu's head to fall off.

Then, he took out the beauty's head from the sack, cast a spell and placed her on Xu's neck.Then, put Xu's original head back into the sack, and flew away with the sack.

After the beauty head was placed on Xu's body, her complexion became more and more rosy.After a while, she quietly opened a pair of soft and beautiful eyes, and her plump and soft lips hooked up quietly.

Holding Xu's head, Lu Pan passed by Zhu Erdan's bedroom when he heard a man calling for help from inside, as if he was shouting: "Help."

Then, he heard a "jingle clang" knocking sound from inside the house, and the cry for help stopped.

Lu Pan was worried that something might happen to Zhu Erdan, so he looked into the room through the window. Seeing Zhu Erdan standing in front of a cabinet intact, he felt relieved, turned around and flew away.

Zhu Erdan looked down at Wang Huacheng who had fainted again in the cabinet, dragged him out expressionlessly, and threw him on the bed.

Zhu Erdan sat at the table, drinking cups of tea, and sat like this all night.It wasn't until the east gradually turned pale and the high-pitched crowing of the rooster sounded that he stood up as if he had just woken up from a dream, washed and changed his clothes.

He told his servants to take good care of Wang Huacheng, and if Wang Huacheng woke up, he would hit him unconscious with a stick.

After explaining this, he went out alone and walked to Gu Huai's house.
