During the Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a mason in Nanyang Wancheng named Zhang Dafu, who usually built houses for people. On this day, Liu Laohan from a neighboring village came to Zhang Dafu to repair the house for his family. The work is not big, Zhang Dafu went out early in the morning, thinking that he would finish the work early and rush home before dark.
In the hilly area of Nanyang, Zhang Dafu climbed over a small hill and came to Liu Laohan's home. There was a big yellow dog lying in front of the door, it looked like it was some years old, the old dragon bell, when he saw a stranger, he didn't bark, he saw a living person coming, and he went into the courtyard.
Liu Laohan went out to greet him and came to his home to check the places that needed to be repaired. Zhang Dafu took out the tools used by the mason, prepared the clay materials, took a ladder to the roof, and began the day's work. The mud work of repairing houses and building houses is not an easy task. When it was almost noon, Zhang Dafu slowly lost his strength, looked at the rest of the work, and felt that he could catch up in the afternoon, so he sat on the roof and took a little rest.
Suddenly, the sound of "clucking" coming from the small backyard, Zhang Dafu was curious, stood slightly on the roof, bowed his body to look at the small backyard, and presented a strange scene in front of him: Liu Laohan's big yellow dog, out of nowhere, got a human dress, put it on his body, came to the side of the chicken coop, and stood up like a person. It opened the coop with its front paws, grabbed a hen with its mouth, then closed the cage door and crept like a thief to the back of a large tree. Looking around, the front paws and mouth at the same time, throwing the chicken into the stomach, the scene looked unusually bloody and terrifying...
Zhang Dafu fixed his mind and thought to himself, "No wonder people always say that chickens are not more than six years old, dogs are only eight years old, this big yellow dog, it is really a sperm." ”
At noon dinner time, the small table in the small courtyard of the farmhouse was set up, and when the meal came up, Liu Laohan quickly beckoned Zhang Dafu to the table for dinner. At this time, Liu Laohan's wife muttered: "Strange, how come there is one less chicken today." "The big yellow dog in the distance is like a child who has done something wrong, his eyes dodging.
Zhang Dafu, a person who likes to sell Guanzi, said triumphantly: "You don't know, your big yellow dog, Chengjing!" So he told everything he saw as it was.
When Liu Laohan heard this, he didn't get angry, picked up the small bench next to him and smashed it on the big yellow dog, scolding: "Tomorrow I will slaughter you to cook meat to eat." The big yellow dog screamed in pain and limped out. While running, he looked back at Zhang Dafu, and his eyes were unusually cold and cold...
After eating a full meal, Zhang Dafu did not dare to delay climbing to the roof to hurry up and finish the work, he also wanted to be able to rush back before dark. When the sun was tilted to the west, he finally made an errand for the owner, and he wanted to pack up his tools and leave, but Liu Laohan set up wine and dishes to entertain Zhang Dafu. It turned out that there was a local rule, no matter who built the house in the house, after the completion, the owner should treat the workers well. Zhang Dafu was not good at resigning, so he pushed the cup with Liu Laohan and asked for a cup, and unconsciously, the moon had hung up on the treetops. He got up to thank his master for his kindness, collected his salary, and drunkenly walked home.
Although it was late, it coincided with the fifteenth bright moon. However, it did not affect the rush, and unconsciously walked out of the village and came to the wild path. As he walked, Zhang Dafu suddenly noticed that there was a black shadow blocking the way on the road in front of him.
Zhang Dafu himself is more bold, through the wine, he went up, hey, isn't this The big yellow dog of Liu Laohan's family? At this time, the rhubarb dog's hair was erect, grinning, and his eyes were glowing in the reflection of the moonlight.
Zhang Dafu was frightened and stunned, and the big yellow dog pounced on it when he saw the hungry wolf pounce on it, Zhang Dafu subconsciously raised his arm, and the big yellow dog bit his hand. Dragging hard into the grass next to him, Zhang Dafu was frightened, and did not react for a moment and a half, the pain in his hand made him wake up, subconsciously picked up the mud tile knife in his other hand, and smashed it hard into the head of the big yellow dog
The big yellow dog loosened his mouth in pain, left him in the wilderness and fled. At this time, Zhang Dafu had been dragged into the grass on the side of the road, he was scared, and the inside of his head was still blank, but the next scene in front of him made him creepy: next to him was a large earth pit, and it was a big yellow dog that was planed out with its front paws, "This is ready to bury me on the spot after biting me to death." ”
Since then, Zhang Dafu has changed like a person, no longer likes to sell Guanzi, especially afraid of dogs, no matter where he goes, he does not rush to the night road.
