Start from Liaozhai to brush the gods and demons alone

Chapter 6 Sister Zhang Yuner

At dawn, Xu Ran simply washed up and went out to Zhang Meng's house.

When passing by the entrance of the village, she happened to see Mama Feng going out to wash rice water, she smiled and said, "Young Master Xu, you haven't eaten breakfast, have you had porridge before leaving?"

"Thank you Mama Feng, I am in a hurry to report the crime," Xu Ran smiled at her, and walked quickly across the stone bridge to Xidong Village.

The courtyard of Zhang Meng's house is much larger, with two front and rear entrances and a large backyard.

Zhang Meng and his mother lived in the east and west rooms of the main building in the front yard, and his younger sister Zhang Yun'er lived in the second yard.

The backyard of other people's homes would be turned into a small garden for the daughter of the family to grow some flowers and plants, and even vegetables at worst, but Zhang Meng's family was ingenious and turned the backyard into a slaughterhouse.

Zhang Meng's salary of 19 Wen a year would definitely not be able to afford the compound where his family can live in two entrances. The main reason is that Zhang Yun'er can make money. Although she is only [-] years old, she is a well-known butcher.

Xu Ran was quite far away from the gate of the Zhang family, when he heard different but equally miserable howls coming from the backyard. It was a pig tied to a table waiting to be slaughtered, struggling for the last time.

After entering the door, I greeted Aunt Zhang first, and then went to the backyard to call Zhang Yuner.

"Sister Yun'er..."

When Xu Ran saw the person in front of him, he was stunned. His fused memory was not complete, and all the details of Zhang Yun'er were missing.

I saw that Zhang Yun'er was 1.7 meters tall and weighed more than 190 catties by visual inspection. She had a bag made of thick cowhide hanging from her waist, and a pig-killing knife, skinning knife, boning knife, and bone-cutting knife were hung side by side on her waist. The blade of the knife was dazzling.

She was standing with her waist pinched, lightly tapping the belly of the fat pig with the tip of her right foot, and roughly estimating the thickness of the fat based on experience.

Against the background of the red tights, the whole person is like a hot flame, majestic and murderous.

No wonder Xu Ran has no memory, only relying on the subconsciousness of his predecessor, he did not agree to Zhang Meng's request to marry her. It seems that the subconsciousness is resisting.

Probably because he was afraid that if she slept in a bed, he would have no place to lie down.

"Brother Ranran is here, have you had breakfast? Wait until I kill a pig and stew fresh meat for you."

Seeing that Xu Ran came to her so early, Zhang Yuner said with a smile.

I have to say, her smile is very sweet.

Heartless sister Yuner, what should I tell you next?

Xu Ran sighed.

Said in a deep voice: "Sister Yun'er, come to my mother's room, I have something to tell you..."

……

The son didn't come back for a day and a night, and the old lady Zhang's eyelids twitched wildly, and she didn't close her eyes almost all night. Seeing Xu Ran coming back alone, her face was gray, and her back was wrapped in a tattered official uniform, she felt even more disturbed.

The two mothers are in front of each other, Xu Ran's tears are rolling in his eyes, "Mother, sister Yun, brother Meng..."

Xu Ran roughly narrated what happened in Taohualing, and finally said: "Brother Meng, he couldn't let you go, he became a ghost servant for the mountain god, and took the magic weapon of the mountain god to escort me down the mountain. I will serve you as my own mother, and take care of Yunermei as my own younger sister. From now on, we will be a family, you will lose Brother Meng, and I will have my son."

When the mother and daughter heard the bad news, they burst into tears, especially Zhang Yuner, whose crying was so loud that it could be described as shaking the neighbors.

As soon as her cries spread, the few fat pigs that were tied to the slaughter case in the backyard and howled desperately stopped yelling immediately.

Xu Ran felt sad from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't say anything other than mourning, while crying, he thought about how to improve his strength and avenge Zhang Meng.

It seems that I have to go back to the Yamen to investigate the cases, what supernatural cases are there in Taoyuan County, maybe that is a shortcut to upgrade.

Granny Zhang almost fainted from crying, Xu Ran supported her and said, "Mother, you have to hold on, don't fall down, you have to preside over Yun'ermei's marriage, and Brother Meng's bones haven't been buried yet." , and his soul is still there, sooner or later you mother and son will meet again."

These words really came to the fore, Mrs. Zhang covered her face and cried for a while, wiped away her tears and sat up, sobbing, "However, you have no parents since you were young, and you grew up eating my food. I have always treated you as my son, so don't hide it from me."

Xu Ran hurriedly said, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

The old lady Zhang said: "Meng'er entrusted you to treat me as my own mother and take care of me until the end of my life. I don't doubt that, but I'm not sure if I ask you to take care of Yun'er as my own sister. What does my mother think about him?" Don’t you know? Tell me the truth, did he say that he wants you to marry Yun’er?”

Sure enough, knowing a child is better than a mother.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ran didn't know how to explain it. The relationship between a man and a woman is different from family and friendship. As a modern person, he can't simply equate love with kindness.

"Brother Meng did say that," Xu Ran said hesitantly, "but Brother Meng was in trouble for the first time, how could I think about it, I just want to avenge Brother Meng now."

Granny Zhang glanced at her precious daughter and cried even more sadly.

Zhang Yun'er stopped crying, wiped her face with a wet towel, and pulled Xu Ran to go outside.

If it wasn't for Xu Ran's promotion to level 3 last night, his physical fitness has far surpassed that of before, so she would have to be dragged away by her, anxiously said: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Yun'er patted the knife bag in her waist, "You take me into the mountain, let's kill that fur monster, there is no living thing in this world that I can't kill!"

"Nonsense, that's a monster!" Xu Ran was also anxious by her and yelled violently.

He calmed down a little, and said: "I'm the one to take revenge. The magistrate is going to invite the people from the Demon Slayer to eliminate the demons. I will also take the invitation from the lord in a few days to invite an eminent monk. At this time You have to calm down, if something happens again, what will the mother do?"

Seeing Zhang Yun'er sitting down discouraged, Xu Ran handed her a cloth bag, which contained his savings over the years and the pension from the county government.

He sighed and said: "Sister Yun'er is obedient, please go and ask the paper maker from the color shop to make a body for Brother Meng and bury it with this arm. I will go to the coffin shop to fix the coffin that is ready. The Yamen will not ignore it."

Zhang Yun'er pushed away the cloth bag and cried, "I don't want your money. These years, my brother and you two's pocket money, didn't I earn it by killing pigs and sheep?"

"..."

Xu Ran never imagined that his predecessor had been eating soft meals from other people, no wonder he could save so much money with a salary of only six hundred Wen a year, he handed the money bag to Zhang's mother, "Mother, this is my heart, The whole ingot of silver was rewarded by the county magistrate, so you can take it."

Zhang Yun'er went out first, Xu Ran looked at Mrs Zhang before going out, "I'm going to do something, mother..."

The old lady Zhang waved her hand, her face was a few years older, and she sighed weakly: "Go and do your work, you understand my thoughts, mother is fine, mother has to live well, and watch Yun'er marry off beautifully , I have to help you marry a wife..."

Xu Ran's hanging heart was relieved, but he felt extremely cramped.
