Chapter 1778
Let's Chat 4
Although Zhu Erdan was dull-witted and recklessly bold, he was not a true fool—a true fool would not study or take the imperial examinations.
His soul was trapped inside his heart. Although he didn't know what was happening outside, he could guess what was going on from the reactions of the soul that occupied his body.
He knew he had been tricked by Lu Pan. He had treated Lu Pan as a friend, but Lu Pan wanted to take his body and even his soul.
He was very worried that the person who had taken his body would harm his wife and parents.
Then he learned that Judge Lu was going to give his wife a head transplant...
Fortunately, a wise man appeared and dealt with the evil spirit that had taken over other people's bodies, and even Judge Lu was dealt with.
This person was his second parent, and he wanted to thank that person, but that person had already left, and he didn't even know what that person looked like.
Helpless, Zhu Erdan could only go to the temple with his wife and pray to the Buddha to bless his benefactor.
Zhu Erdan's wife was overjoyed to see her husband return to normal.
Although Zhu Erdan was intelligent and even passed the imperial examination, she did not like him.
She loved her husband, who was simple-minded but sincere, not the man who disliked her looks.
Liu Dong didn't know how the couple was doing; he had already left the city.
Liu Dong sensed that there were fragments of Mount Buzhou in this world, but due to the restrictions of the rules of this world, he could not use too much power, so he did not know where the fragments were exactly, and could only search all over the world.
As we passed a mountain path, we saw a person struggling to push a cart full of goods up the mountain.
At that moment, a wolf emerged from the bushes and pounced on the person pushing the cart.
The person pushing the cart was worried about the goods on it and dared not let go, fearing that the goods would fall and damage it.
The cunning wolf's wife saw this, which is why she came to attack the man, wanting to bite off a piece of his flesh.
Liu San immediately leaped up, landed next to the man, and lashed the wolf with his whip.
The wolf let out a miserable howl and turned to run away.
Liu San would never let it go.
Regardless of how many passersby it has harmed here, its fur alone could fetch a lot of money.
Liu San caught up with the wolf and slapped it on the head, killing it instantly.
Liu San threw the wolf carcass onto the car and then came over to help the person pushing the car push it up the mountain.
Qingyun then took over the job of driving the horse-drawn carriage.
Going down the mountain was much easier, and Liu San stopped helping the man push the cart and returned to the carriage.
The person pushing the cart should express their gratitude.
If it weren't for Liu San, he probably would have had a large chunk of flesh bitten off by the wolf.
Qingyun asked in confusion, "Huh? Just a bite of meat? Doesn't that mean the whole person is eaten?"
Liu Tong recalled the relevant description in "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" and said, "That's the cunning of that wolf. It only bites a piece of meat and doesn't eat people. Those who are bitten just consider themselves unlucky, and others also think that since the wolf doesn't eat people, it's not dangerous, so they ignore it. That's how it gets its fill."
Qingyun and the other two were completely convinced by Liu Dong's words.
Liu Tong sighed. In this world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, you really do encounter related people and events as soon as you step out the door.
They had barely finished expressing their feelings when another character from the story approached them.
A beautiful woman appeared by the roadside, waved for the car to stop, and said she had sprained her ankle and wanted them to take her home.
Qingyun and the other two looked at the woman with mixed feelings, then turned to Liu Qiu, waiting for her to give instructions on how to prepare the medicine.
Liu Dong chuckled lightly: "Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well help this 'young lady' out."
The three men understood that the young master was using this woman for amusement.
Liu San carried the woman onto the car. The woman wanted to get into the carriage, but Qingyang stopped her.
She pursed her lips and could only sit on the edge of the carriage shaft, giving Liu San directions.
She should be more interested in Liu San, after all, Liu San's muscular physique is the envy of many men.
The woman's voice and movements were seductive, but Liu San remained unmoved, which only excited her more. She vowed to make this man her devoted subject. The woman pointed to a road leading deep into the mountains.
This is even more suspicious. Who would live in such a remote mountain, unless they are a spirit or monster?
But Liu San and Qingyun seemed oblivious to the fact that something was amiss.
Finally, they arrived at the woman's home, a large courtyard that looked quite luxurious.
However, there was no one else in the courtyard.
The woman—oh, she has already introduced herself—is called Hu San Niang.
Hu Sanniang: "I have quite a few people in my family, but they have all gone to visit relatives, so there is no one at home."
She warmly invited Liu Tong and the other three into the house: "It's getting dark, and it's not safe to travel at night. Why don't you four stay at my house for the night?"
Liu Tong and the other three naturally wouldn't refuse; they treated Hu San Niang as a source of amusement.
Hu arranged a room for each of the four people three years later.
As night fell, Liu San, as expected, was greeted by Hu San Niang, who was only wearing a white veil.
Liu San: "..."
Although he likes beautiful women, he absolutely dislikes female ghosts and demons, no matter how beautiful they are.
Unable to bear Hu Sanniang's hands groping him, Liu San took out the talisman Liu Dong had given him and stuck it on Hu Sanniang's body.
Hu Sanniang screamed in agony as she was struck by lightning and reverted to her original form.
It's a fox.
Qingyang and Qingyun pushed the door open and came in. Qingyun grabbed the fox in her hand and handed it to Liu Qiu.
"Young master, she really is a vixen."
Liu Tong: "Take it away."
Qingyun quickly threw the fox to the ground.
Liu Tong: "This fox spirit has committed many sins and harmed many people. You should deal with her."
"Yes."
The three agreed, and Liu San immediately raised his knife and severed the fox spirit's head.
Qingyang threw out a fire talisman, burning the fox spirit's corpse to ashes.
Liu San: "These foxes live in entire litters, young master. Should we stay here and deal with this whole litter of fox spirits?"
Liu Tong: "No need. Even if they're a bunch of vixens, there are good ones and bad ones. We can't generalize. Let's leave tomorrow."
The other three people believed him and had no objections.
Early in the morning, Qingyun and Qingyang went to the kitchen.
They didn't know how to cook before, but after being reduced to slavery, they had to learn some servant skills, including cooking.
In ancient times, cooking was a skill that no one would teach to outsiders.
The two of them only learned basic cooking and some simple dishes. Later, they followed Liu Tong and were guided by him, which is when they truly understood the art of cooking.
There was rice, noodles, and vegetables in the kitchen, so it seems even a fox spirit needs to eat.
The two of them cooked rice and vegetables, but left the meat untouched.
Who knows what kind of meat that is?
After lunch, the four of them prepared to set off.
Suddenly the door opened, and another beautiful woman appeared.
Liu San, Qingyun, and Qingyang immediately became alert. (End of Chapter)
