Let's say that Sun Mazi was about to ask for a price on the spot and sell the zombie to Tie Gongji, the shopkeeper of Songhetang Pharmacy, but Zhang Xiaobian'er stopped him on the spot and didn't let him ask for money.
Zhang Xiaopian'er chuckled and said to Iron Rooster: "This fat-faced brother of mine is a naughty man.
The shopkeeper must not take his words seriously.
Every time the little people hear that Songhetang provides doctors and medicines, and uses various kind deeds to help people."
The poor people in the world are lucky enough to get this precious and beautiful human bowl.
As the saying goes, it belongs to its owner, so it should be given to him.
How dare he ask Mr.
Tie for money. " Iron Rooster was a very stingy person, never willing to use a penny lightly, and was planning to find a way to kill the two of them, so he got their beauty bowl with nothing, and he didn't even intend to give it a big sum of money.
At this time, I heard Zhang Xiaobian'er said that he didn't want any money, which made him feel very strange.
He judged others by himself.
The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became.
He thought about how in the world there could be such a business that cost nothing.
He didn't ask for money, but decided to It's something else.
Zhang Xiaowei'er said: "Shopkeeper Tie is really good at predicting things.
You are a fair trader and a fair trader, so you won't accept the goods for free.
But no matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't reach out to take your money without conscience."
I have no choice but to boldly ask for something from your house.”
Iron Rooster frowned, stared at Zhang Xiaowei'er and said: "Asking for money and things is not a one-time thing.
You don't need to go around in circles with me.
If you have anything to say, just say it here.
If you have any shit, go outside."
Just say what you want."
Zhang Xiaobian'er's lies came out of his mouth without even thinking about it.
He immediately fabricated a story, claiming that the area around Wengzhong Mountain in his hometown was infested with rats, and even rat traps and rat poison couldn't get rid of the many rats.
Nowadays, there is a war, and most of the people are hungry.
The little food they have has to be guarded against being eaten by rats all day long.
Their lives are miserable.
Since ancient times, cats and rats have been natural enemies.
To prevent rats at home, cats are often used to protect the house.
However, the cats in this city for hundreds of miles are all Lingzhou tabby cats.
They have all borrowed the blessings left by their ancestor, the Cat Fairy. , always good at food and lazy in cooking, and never willing to catch mice.
Zhang Xiaobian'er said that he had heard many times that in the backyard of Songhetang Pharmacy, there was a black cat.
It was as black as charcoal and satin.
It had extraordinary energy, was good at catching mice, and was tireless all day long.
There is a folk proverb that says, "A good dog protects you."
"Three Neighbors, Three Houses in Good Cat Town", this black cat is by no means comparable to the local tabby cats.
In order to eliminate the plague of rats in the village, the three brothers and his sister risked their lives to bring the beauty bowl into the city, hoping to exchange it for the black cat.
It turns out that Iron Rooster had indeed raised a black cat in his own house, which had been constantly troubled by mice over the years.
The original intention was to let it catch mice.
Unexpectedly, this cat only loves to eat birds.
It climbs trees and goes to the house every day to dig out bird nests.
It never pays attention to the mice swaying in the kitchen corridor and turns a blind eye when it bumps into a mouse.
The black cat's behavior often made the iron rooster turn his cross-eyed eyes in anger.
Later, when he found a sorcerer who knew cats, he found out that the black cat had a golden thread hidden from its eyes to the tip of its tail.
It could only be seen under the clear light of the stars and moon.

It was a famous line in the cat book.
"Moon Shadow, Black Eyes and Golden Silk Tiger".
Because of this golden thread, this black cat is not a solid black cat, but an authentic two-color Lingzhou tabby cat.
Since Iron Rooster found out about this, he had already deliberately got rid of this useless black cat.
At this time, seeing that Zhang Xiaobian'er was willing to trade the beauty bowl for the cat, he couldn't help but play into his own ambitions.
As long as he didn't use his own pocket to use the money, why would he, the iron shopkeeper, not be afraid that Zhang Xiaobian'er would change his mind and regret it, so he signed the contract immediately and ordered Mr.
Accountant to do so.
I went to the backyard and picked up the black cat and exchanged it.
When Sun Mazi saw this, he was so anxious that the veins on his forehead were pulsing.
He pulled Zhang's braid aside and said: "Old man, why are you so confused?
There is a saying that good men don't keep cats, and good girls don't keep dogs.
If a man keeps a cat, it will inevitably weaken him.
A woman has a masculine temperament, but raising a dog makes her more aggressive and less docile.
Why do we want the black cat in his drugstore instead of asking for the ready-made real money?"
But now Zhang Xiaobian'er's spiritual vitality is poured into the black cat in the backyard of Songhe Hall.
He believes that if he wants to get rich, he must endure this moment.
How can he be like Sun Mazi who suffers from poverty?
By daybreak, his heart was as hard as iron, not to mention Sun Mazi.
Even if Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva descended to earth, he would not be able to persuade him to look back.
At this time, the accountant had taken out the black cat from the backyard, and Zhang Xiaopian'er hurriedly looked at it.
Although the little black cat looks tired and not very clever, if you look closely at this cat with a skillful cat-telling method, you can tell what makes it outstanding.
The reason why this cat is so outstanding and praised is that it is really because "the eyes of black dragons are pierced with gold threads, and the black clouds cover the body like ink dye; the claws are sharp enough to turn over tiles, and the tail is divided into seven knots to lose the wind."
It is extremely rare among Lingzhou tabby cats.
"Golden Tiger".
Zhang Xiaowei'er suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, took the black cat from the accountant, and used the cat's tricks to pull the cat's ears, pull the cat's tail, pinch the cat's bones, and count the cat's ribs.
He was so obsessed that he thought he had this cat, and the extravagance in Lingzhou City: amazing, amazing.
He must have the wealth and honor, but he did not dare to show off his wealth in front of the iron rooster.
He just thanked him profusely and pretended to take the black cat back to the village to catch mice.
After saying this, he said goodbye and left.
Iron Rooster exchanged the black cat for the beauty bowl, which was a beautiful thing that cost no money and effort.
He wanted Zhang Xiaobian'er and Sun Mazi to smuggle a few more items of this kind into the city after they returned to their hometown, so he was not in a hurry to see off the guests.
He made an exception and ordered someone to pour a pot of "Gao Mo" as a treat, and said The two of them talked about the origin of this beauty bowl.
After saying this, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Why are you surprised?
It turns out that the beauty bowl was left over from the previous dynasty, not from this dynasty.
The previous dynasty was the Ming Dynasty.
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, since the founding of the country by Emperor Hongwu, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, and the world was at peace.
It was passed to the late Ming Dynasty that the Zhu family was almost exhausted.
The saints were blocked and talents were not used.
Many treacherous ministers and eunuchs took the opportunity to gain power.
The eunuchs and eunuchs in the court endlessly plundered the people's wealth.
Since these people were all destitute and had no children or grandchildren, they became even more frantic in their squandering and squandering.
In order to satisfy their abnormal and morbid spiritual needs, many extravagant and lustful ways of enjoyment were invented, and Beauty Bowl is one of them.
What is the Beauty Bowl?
As the name suggests, this is a spittoon made of living people.

From the slaves bought with money, choose the young and beautiful one and make her kneel in the room to serve her all day long.
Whenever she hears her master cough, the beauty will immediately open her small cherry mouth to catch the thick phlegm spit out from her master's mouth.
Holding back the nausea and swallowing it, this is called the beauty bowl.
The wealthy families at that time imitated this move.
Whoever had great power and wealth would have a living beauty as a bowl.
The more glamorous and beautiful the beauty bowl is, the more distinguished the owner is.
This trend continued until the eunuch party lost power and was gradually abolished.
Although Tie Gong Ji is a despicable person, he knows ancient artifacts and knows that there were tombs from previous dynasties in Wengzhong Mountain, which were stolen by thieves in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
When he saw the female corpse that Zhang Xiaobian'er and Sun Mazi carried on their backs, it had a very strange shape.
She was kneeling with her head raised and her chin lowered.
He guessed that her mouth was pried open with a tool before she died, so he estimated that it was the beauty bowl buried with her in the tomb.
In recent years, Tie Gongji has been trying every possible means to collect ancient corpses that died with hatred during their lifetimes.
When he saw the beauty bowl, he was just like flies collecting fishy food and vicious dogs seeing blood.
However, he did not want to use zombie meat to make medicine.
Instead, he had the same ulterior motives as Zhang Xiaobian'er.
On the surface, he runs a drug store, but privately he has many secret activities that cannot be seen.
How can he easily reveal all his own details?
He later concealed something.
He only told the two of them: "The Beauty Bowl is actually an ancient corpse from the previous dynasty.
Stealing, damaging and destroying hair are prohibited by criminal law.
It is useless for us ordinary people to want it.
But the shopkeeper knows the ancient prescriptions and wants to use its flesh as medicine to save lives."
I am willing to take on this huge responsibility for you two.
Remember to keep your mouth shut and don’t leak any information after you return, otherwise you will inevitably be sued. " Zhang Xiaobian'er and Sun Mazi finally knew what the Beauty Bowl was, and felt a shiver in their hearts that made them sick.
They both listened to the words behind Iron Rooster in a daze and did not pay attention to them.
Iron Rooster chattered for a while, which was nothing more than roundabout talk, and Zhang Xiaopian'er responded with a few words.
He got the Lingzhou black cat and didn't want to stay in Songhe Hall for a long time.
He hugged the black cat and wanted to say goodbye.
Before leaving, he asked Tie Gongji about something: "I heard that there used to be a noble man named Lou in Lingzhou City.
There are many locust trees planted in our house, and one of them is called Huaiyuan.
Since the decline of the Dalou family, the pagoda garden has also been abandoned.
I would like to know if this house still exists."
Tie Gongji was startled when he heard this: "The descendants of the Lou family are in poverty and have already sold their ancestral home.
The Sophora Garden is now the property of my Tie family.
You, a poor boy, are asking what you want to do here."
Zhang Xiaobian only remembered what the old ghost in the forest told him, which was to first exchange the ancient corpses in Wengzhong Mountain for cats, and then go to the Sophora Flower Garden to hunt for treasures, but he never thought that the owner of Lou's Sophora Flower Garden had changed.
He had an idea and said through the words of Iron Rooster: "It's dark now, the city gates are closed, and there is a curfew in the city.
The young people have no relatives and friends here, and they just want to find a ruined temple and an abandoned house to deal with."
One night, I didn't think about it until dawn.
I remembered that I heard someone talking about an old and dilapidated house in Sophora Garden, and then I had the idea to go there.
I didn't realize that it turned out to be your property. " Huaiyuan is an ancient house with exquisite and elegant pavilions, corridors and courtyards.
The interior is decorated with landscapes composed of stones, springs, flowers and trees.
It is very famous in the local area.
Iron Gongji took a fancy to Huaiyuan a few years ago and took possession of this house.
Who would have thought that the house was haunted and could not tolerate any living people.

The huge house has been abandoned to this day.
Iron Rooster always wanted to take advantage of others.
He rolled his eyes and thought that the haunted house in Sophora Garden was empty.
In the past few years, even the night watchman did not dare to pass by, let alone resell it to someone else.
Tough luck.
It would be better to let Zhang Xiaobian'er and other unsuspecting outsiders come in and live there.
If they don't die inside, the reputation of the haunted house will be self-defeating.
If a ghost takes their lives, it will only be A headless case.
In these turbulent years, the death of a few poor boys was no big deal.
After making up his mind, he generously took out a bunch of keys and threw them on the table.
He said, "The city gates have been closed for a long time.
Even after lighting the lamps, there are often soldiers patrolling around the ruined temples and old ancestral halls.
If they encounter Most of the homeless and beggars were picked up without distinguishing between good and bad.
They were first tortured and tortured as if they were serious, and then thrown into a deep prison.
If you are serious, you will be killed in public.
Even though Lingzhou City is big, there is no place for people to stay.
Only my Tie family's Huaiyuan mansion in the south of the city is a deserted place with no buildings.
They are valuable things, but no one has cleaned them all year round, and some of them are not very clean.
If you don’t mind, you can stay in there for the night.”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaobian'er quickly grabbed the key and said, "It doesn't matter, we always don't do anything that breaks the law, and we don't eat anything that violates the law.
If you were caught and imprisoned by the army without thinking at night, wouldn't it be unfair?"
If you kill people like us who keep our peace, I'm afraid there will be no place to cry out after death.
This is such a shame."
On the surface, he thanked Tie Gongji profusely, but in his heart he snickered: "Don't look at your evil boss Tie, but today you have become a stepping stone for Mr.
Zhang to get rich.
Killing two birds with one stone, I happened to take the black cat into the locust garden to hunt for treasure.”
Although Zhang Xiaobian'er's wishful thinking was good, he had no way of predicting the future.
If there was really a capable person around him, and he knew what kind of trouble he would encounter in the Sophora Garden, he would definitely hug him around the waist and risk his life to stop him.
Just because he didn't go, he would cause a catastrophic disaster if he went, causing the city of Lingzhou to become a river of blood, and countless graves to be added to the outskirts of the city.
