Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1089 Mr. Hou

Ding Ermiao smiled and asked: "How many little piglets are there originally?"

"Twelve, twelve." Hou Baolai replied hesitantly.

"Now count again, how many are there?" Ding Ermiao pointed at the pig pen and said.

Hou Baolai was stunned for a moment, and then he started counting with his fingers: "One, two, three, four, five... Hey, why is there one more? Now it's thirteen!"

"The extra one is that evil beast!" Ding Ermiao sneered and said, "Look, the one with the tuft of gray hair on its tail is the monster!"

Everyone was shocked. They followed Ding Ermiao's finger and saw that there was indeed a piglet with gray hair on its tail, trembling among the piglets.

"Who dares to go in and catch that beast for me!?" Ding Ermiao asked.

The relatives and friends of the Hou family looked at each other, but no one dared to speak, including Hou Baolai.

Ding Ermiao smiled faintly and already reached into his waist and pulled out the corpse-beating whip.

The shadow of the whip flew out, and the tip of the whip had wrapped around the piggy's waist.Ding Ermiao shook his hand again, and lifted the thing out of the pigsty.

The thing was tightly restrained by the corpse-beating whip and lay on the ground, not daring to move.

"Beast, if you haven't shown yourself yet, do you want me to throw you into the pit and take a bath?" Ding Ermiao shouted.

"Zhizhi..." The thing rolled on the ground, revealing its original shape, but it was a mouse as big as a cat!

"It's a mouse!"

"Oh my god, such a big mouse!"

All the relatives and friends of the Hou family shouted together and lost their countenance.

"No wonder, no wonder we haven't been able to keep cats in our village. It turns out... there really is a rat spirit causing trouble." Hou Baolai said tremblingly.

Ding Ermiao asked Hou Baolai to bring him a chair and sat down in the backyard.

"How long has it been since there were no cats in the village?" Ding Ermiao asked.

"It's been about ten years. Everyone said there was a rat spirit in the village, but I didn't expect it to be true," Hou Baolai said.

Ding Ermiao nodded, dragged the big mouse in front of him, looked closely at him, and said slowly:

"Beast, you can possess Xiaoru. It seems that you have a good moral character. You should be able to speak people's words, right? Tell me honestly, where do you usually practice and how long have you been causing trouble to the Hou family?"

The big mouse held up its two short front paws, kowtowed like a human, and shouted in a soft and trembling voice: "Master, I am blind and I have offended your tiger power. Please spare my life." .”

The mouse spoke, which frightened the relatives and friends of the Hou family and changed their expressions again.

Ding Ermiao sat upright on the chair and shouted at his feet: "Go on!"

"Yes... I was originally from this village. I was born and raised here. Counting it, this year has been almost 100 years." In the silence, the big mouse continued: "Hou Baolai's grandfather, Mr. Hou Fawang, is with me. I grew up. I have a good relationship with him, we have played since childhood..."

Hearing that the big mouse and his grandfather were children, Hou Baolai was even more shocked and asked: "Do you know my grandfather? Really?"

"Yes, I know your grandfather, and your grandfather has always known about my becoming a spirit. If it weren't for your grandfather, I wouldn't be able to practice with peace of mind. When the old man was alive, he never allowed cats in the house, just to give me peace of mind to practice. "

The big mouse continued:

"Your grandpa likes to drink. There is always a bottle of wine by his bedside. Sometimes he will get up and take a sip when he sleeps at night. Your grandpa also gives me a drink of that wine. Wine is the essence of food, and food is the essence of heaven and earth. It was caused by Qi. After drinking for many years, I slowly understood the way of cultivation, and that’s why I am where I am today..."

Ding Ermiao frowned and asked: "So, the Hou family has been kind to you, and you should know how to repay the kindness. Why do you want to possess Hou Xiaoru and harm the Hou family?"

"Master, listen to me." The big mouse kowtowed again and said:

"Mr. Hou's wife died early, and his son, Hou Baolai's father, also died before Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou's later life was even more miserable. As a grandson, Hou Baolai was not filial at all and was only busy outside. Work to make money. In the end, Mrs. Hou died alone at home. I felt resentful because of this, so I taught the Hou family a lesson."

The relatives and friends of the Hou family looked at each other, and Hou Baolai was even covered in cold sweat.

After a long while, Hou Baolai trembled and said:

"What an injustice. I am not unfilial, but forced by life, so my family went out to work. Although grandpa is old, he has always been in good health. Who knew that he would die suddenly? He passed away at a healthy age. Didn't I rush back immediately to give him a job? Has the old man taken care of his funeral arrangements?"

Ding Ermiao understood a little bit.

Probably this old Mrs. Hou is a left-behind elderly person, and his grandson Hou Baolai and his family are all looking for a living outside.This time, Hou Baolai moved back to his hometown because his daughter was possessed by an evil spirit.

"Great Master, I am possessing Hou Xiaoru. I just want to rectify Hou Baolai and give Mr. Hou a sigh of relief..." The big mouse kowtowed and said, "Please let me go. I will leave the Hou family right now and never do it again." Dare to come back."

Ding Ermiao smiled, looked at Hou Baolai and said, "What should I do? This is still your grandfather's old friend. Let him go, or not?"

"This, I don't know what to do..." Hou Baolai lost his mind for a while, and said after a while: "It's all up to the little brother."

Ding Ermiao sniffed and asked, "When did your grandfather die? Was he buried or cremated? Where is the grave?"

The big mouse lying on the ground suddenly trembled.

Hou Baolai thought for a while and said: "I have been dead for nine months. I was not cremated, so I was buried in the mountains in front of me."

Ding Ermiao nodded and asked the big mouse at his feet: "Beast, what did you do to the body of the old man of the Hou family?"

"No, I didn't do anything. Please believe me, Archmage..." The big mouse trembled with fear and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Beast, you still want to hide it from me?" Ding Ermiao sneered, stepped on the big mouse with his foot, and said:

"You have the smell of decaying corpses and coffin boards on your body. If you don't often go to Mr. Hou's grave, why do you have this smell on your body?"

"The Archmage is aware that I only occasionally send some wine to Mr. Hou's grave, and I haven't done anything else!"

Ding Ermiao shook his head slightly and said: "After I have eaten, I will take you to the old man's grave. You will know after a quick look!"

After that, Ding Ermiao ordered the Hou family to cook immediately, and planned to leave immediately after the meal to go to Mrs. Hou's grave to see what was going on.

The Hou family did not dare to neglect, and immediately started killing chickens and ducks. Only Hou Baolai and several other village elders accompanied Ding Ermiao in the backyard.

"Little brother, what did this rat spirit do to my grandfather...?" Hou Baolai asked tremblingly.

Ding Ermiao looked at the people in front of him and said, "It's hard to say now. When we get to the cemetery and open the coffin, you will know."
