ninety thousand miles

Chapter 13

He sat up and looked under the bed under the moonlight.It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

I lit the candle again, went to the kitchen, checked the rice jar, there was no mouse.

Li Chuan checked the three rooms carefully by the light of the candles, and there were no mice.

Forget it, let's look for it tomorrow during the day.

Blow out the lamp, go to bed, close your eyes.

squeak.

When I was about to fall asleep, the voice appeared again.

This time, Li Chuan didn't get up, he closed his eyes to hear where the sound came from.

After a long time, when I was about to fall asleep, I heard a 'squeak' again, very close, as if...

Li Chuan suddenly lifted the pillow.

No, no rats.

Forget it, Li Chuan gave up, put the pillow away, fell asleep, covered his head with the quilt, and heard the sound again, he would never get up again, and he would never get up if he was not bitten!
In his sleep, squeaks kept ringing from far and near, but Li Chuan ignored them and just fell asleep. When he fell into a very deep sleep, the squeaks also stopped.

The next day, Li Chuan got up together and searched the house up and down, but found no trace of the mouse, but as soon as he fell asleep, he could hear rattling and creaking.

He also wondered if there was a rat monster.

It is not impossible for him to meet chicken monsters, crab monsters, and then be targeted by rat monsters.

But later I discovered that when he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, there was no sound. He had to fall asleep, and when he was half asleep, the sound would start.

It seems that the problem lies with himself. It is estimated that Li Chuan, a scholar, thinks too much on weekdays, so he has auditory hallucinations.Psychological problems will also be reflected on the body after a long time, so he heard it too.

As for why I haven't heard it before.It may be that the situation he passed through was more intense and exciting, so he ignored it. Now that he has returned to a safe place, the psychological problem has returned.

After putting the problem back on Yuan Shen, Li Chuan calmed down.

How can it be?
After thinking about it, he turned his mind to other places - go to the street to cut a few catties of meat and come back to make up for it.

So after packing up, I went to the street.

There were two butcher shops on the street. Li Chuan came out late, and one of them was closed. Only Butcher Pan's butcher shop was still open.

Butcher Pan has been ill for the past few days, and his daughter, Xiaohua, is looking at the stall.

Pan Xiaohua was born with great strength. When she was six or seven years old, she was able to run around the streets with piglets weighing more than 50 kilograms. At the age of eleven or twelve, she began to help Butcher Pan and learned how to slaughter pigs and sell meat.

Li Chuan looked at the stall, only a pair of pig's feet were left, and some pigs had entered the water.

He was a little disappointed, originally thinking of buying some lard suet and going back to cook lard.

But it would be nice to have a pig's foot, so he said, "I want this pig's foot."

"Okay." Pan Xiaohua quickly weighed the pig's feet, tied them with straw ropes, and handed them to Li Chuan.

When Li Chuan took it, he finally saw Pan Xiaohua's appearance clearly, with an apple face, willow brows and almond eyes, with a heroic look between her brows and eyes, but the hand holding the straw rope was very small and fleshy, the joints were hidden in the flesh, and the fingers Like a radish.

It is really unimaginable that this hand can kill a pig.

Li Chuan didn't dare to look any further, paid the money, and left with the pig's feet.

After walking a few steps, he heard a noise not far away, and he followed the crowd around to watch the excitement.

It turned out that two neighbors were arguing.

One of them was named Liu, and the other was named Wang.

The Liu family lost a chicken, and he suspected that the Wang family next door stole his chicken.

why?Because the Liu family's rooster crows desperately from midnight to midnight these days.And the daughter-in-law of the Wang family had just given birth to a son, not even a hundred days old, so she cherished it very much.

In the middle of the night, the little baby was woken up by the rooster crowing, crying loudly.

So the Wang family came to the door several times and asked the Liu family to take care of the chickens in the house. When the quarrel became fierce, they even wanted to kill the chickens.

So now that the Liu family's chicken is lost, the biggest suspect is the Wang family.

Of course, the Wang family didn't admit it. While gloating, they mocked the Liu family, saying that their chickens had committed too many crimes, and they finally suffered retribution and were stolen.

The Liu family was even more angry when they were said to be retribution for losing the chicken.

Neighbors usually stumbling and stumbling, big and small. After the quarrel broke out, new hatred and old hatred came to the heart, and I don't know who started it first, but a fight broke out!
The onlookers saw that they had started fighting, and they all began to persuade them to fight.

But Liu and Wang were so angry that they couldn't get rid of it at all.

A certain Wang master has great strength; although Liu's movements are dexterous, his strength has weakened over time, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage. When he was about to lose, Liu suddenly pulled out a chisel and pointed at it. Wang's head was stabbed.

It turned out that Liu was a carpenter, and he carried tools with him.

To die!

With a snap, Li Chuan made a quick decision and threw the pig's foot out, hitting the chisel.

The chisel went off an inch and made a hole.

The pig's feet fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and were stained with dust.

Liu was stunned for a moment, and Wang realized that he had brushed shoulders with death just now, and his anger surged up, and he was about to fight back.But Li Chuan stepped forward and grabbed Wang's sleeve.

Wang wanted to break free, but Li Chuan said loudly: "Well, you are ignorant! If I hadn't shot you just now, your life would have been lost. Is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

Wang couldn't find any words to refute for a while, so he was pulled away.

The onlookers also quickly pulled Liu aside.

Then, Li Chuan walked up to Liu and said, "You committed murder in broad daylight, have you thought about the consequences?"

Liu stuck his neck and said, "He stole my chicken!"

Li Chuan said: "You want to kill a person just for a chicken? Do you think you can escape by killing your neighbor in front of so many people? Do you think you can still be a carpenter after hiding from the government all your life? Can you still settle down and raise chickens?"

Liu listened, and gradually became dejected.

Li Chuan looked at him and said, "So you say, am I saving you from the fire and water, am I your savior?"

Liu couldn't find anything to refute, so he glanced at Wang and repeated, "He stole my chicken!"

Li Chuan asked: "Do you have evidence that he stole your chicken? For example, saw him steal the chicken? Did you find the feathers of your chicken at his house? Or saw his stewed chicken eaten?"

Liu shook his head, "But who else is there besides him? Can chickens run by themselves?"

"It's not certain," Li Chuan said while picking up the pig's feet that fell on the ground, and patted the ashes, "Look at Zhang Yuan's chicken, it ran away by itself, and hooked up with a woman The ghost is coming to harm the old master."

Zhang Yuan's family suffered from a demon, and there was already a lot of trouble. Yesterday Wen Daoshi's method was spread, and the story of the chicken demon and female ghost was even more firmly established.
