Chapter Five, Unexpected Guest.
'Five poisons' refers to scorpions, snakes, spiders, centipedes, and toads," Secretary Xing recalled, "When we were conducting the Four Cleansings in Nongan County, there was a comrade who came back late, and there was no food left in the pot. He said it didn't matter, picked up a Shandong pancake from the side and jumped into the vegetable garden, grabbed a big onion and rolled up a toad, took a bite in the pancake, and 'gulu' blood sprayed out of his mouth."
Who exactly are you, sir? Mr. He's face slightly changed, wondering how this person knew about last night's incident.
Oh, so you are the local officials here. My apologies for the disrespect, Wei Liuchan put down his chopsticks and bowed, "I am Wei Liuchan, a native of Bozhou. Since childhood, I have had a gluttonous habit and often behave indecently at the dining table. I hope you can forgive me."
In the window of the West Chamber, Ke'er nervously watched while holding her pet pig.
Old He, as a Communist Party member, how could he flee when the people are in danger?
Uncle Fei nodded on the side, showing his keen observation as a woman, he had already sensed that something was amiss.
I am Xing, the Secretary of the County Committee.
Comrade, we are all guests staying at Lao He's house. Please be mindful of civilized dining.Secretary Xing couldn't help but criticize a few words.
He Zheren was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "You are indeed a corpse insect!"
Wei Liuchan laughed wildly, shaking off his dark gray clothes with both arms, revealing a torso covered with lumps and warts, and kicked over the copper hot pot on the table, then crouched on the table with a terrifying and ferocious appearance.
Alright, I will send you on your way first. Before the words could even be spoken, Wei Liuchan's mouth opened and a pink, elongated tongue shot out, wrapping around Secretary Xing's neck and quickly tightening...
It turned out to be Secretary Xing from the County Party Committee," Wei Liuchan laughed wildly, "Haha, it's just right for me to take care of everything at once."
He Zheren clearly knew that his meager skills were no match for the corpse worms, so he endured the intense pain and turned around to escape. Just as he rushed out of the door, his vision suddenly blurred. Under the moonlight, countless toads gathered densely in the courtyard, their eyes glowing red, all staring at him...
Ker suddenly became serious and whispered, "Sir, there used to be constant frog croaking by the pond outside, but ever since that old Wei arrived, there has been no sound, not even the chirping of crickets."
Anyone who robs the ancient tomb of Panlong Mountain shall be killed without mercy!
Upon hearing this, He Zheren was first stunned, then let out a cold laugh and said, "Hmph, I have never heard of such an organization."
He Zheren pondered for a moment upon seeing the situation, then got up and walked into the kitchen. He scooped out a ladle of raw rice and silently poured it onto the Eight Immortals table.
What is the purpose of Brother Tai stealing the bones from the tomb? Wei Liuchan's bulging toad-like eyes stared tightly at the other party.
Ker's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at his eating habits.
Secretary Xing was momentarily stunned, as the way this person spoke sounded a bit strange.
This Secretary Xing was originally the host of an ancient parasitic worm. How could these ordinary toads in the countryside possibly deal with him? But seeing him carrying layers of stacked toads on his body, he still walked step by step towards the hall.
But seeing the green light flashing, that small peach wood sword unexpectedly directly cut the duck intestine into two pieces, splashing red oil and juice all over Mr. He's collar.
In the living room, only He Zheren and Wei Liushan were left.
※※※。
Gugu gugu... Wei Liuchan opened his mouth and made a long string of strange noises.
At this moment, Secretary Xing carefully scrutinized the other person. This person had a fat body, layers of excess flesh on the neck and belly, dark skin, and many warts. Their eyeballs protruded outward, and their mouth was unusually large, resembling a toad in appearance.
Alas, I knew this matter would not end well... He Zheren sighed deeply and reached into his pocket.
He Zheren turned around silently and let out a long sigh, saying, "What exactly do you want?"
Hmm... Fei Shu suddenly started making urgent noises in Ke Er's arms.
Back in the West Chamber, Ke'er whispered quietly, "Husband, I find this man surnamed Wei to be quite strange. Who in the world eats raw rice and uses their tongue to roll up food?"
Well, it's indeed quite a skillful display. Wei Liuchan muttered a few words in his throat, then pressed the Eight Immortals table with both hands. His body leaped into the air, mouth wide open, and his pink tongue shot out like lightning, grabbing the peach wood sword in mid-air and then piercing it into the wooden beam with a "pu" sound, astonishing everyone with his strength.
Why did you climb Panlong Mountain to dig graves and rob tombs, sir?
He Zheren bit his teeth, waved his folding fan to cover himself, and then the talisman on the fan's leaf flashed red. He heard a chaotic sound of "bibi boba", and white smoke rose in front of him, with a pungent smell in the air. Although he protected his vital parts such as his head, face, and chest, a few splashes still stained his sleeves and pants. The highly toxic white liquid instantly corroded the cotton cloth, causing his skin to break and rot.
Wei Liuchan sat on the chair with his legs crossed and his arms in a "V" shape, his eyes as cold as ice. When he saw the other person pull out a grayish-green peach wood sword from his bosom, his face changed drastically and he said, "So, you are also a member of the Taoist community..." Before he could finish his sentence, a "pu" sound came out of his mouth, and a large piece of pork shot out.
"What is Wudu?" Ke'er asked in confusion.
Mr. He did not give a definite answer, and finally found the remains of Dalomo. Logically, his mood should be particularly good, but for some reason, he looks worried.
"It's okay, it's okay," Lao He quickly came out to mediate, "Brother Wei just said he is from Bozhou, could it be that he is of the Bo ethnic group?"
Wei Liuchan held the chopsticks and dipped them into the boiling hot spicy oil pot. With skillful stirring, he wrapped a large roll of duck intestines around the chopsticks, swiftly sent it into his mouth, stretched his neck, and swallowed it whole. His mouth made a loud smacking sound.
This guy is a thousand-year corpse worm. I am already no match for him. Why do you have to sacrifice your lives for nothing? He Zheren stomped his foot and said.
"Is that so?" Secretary Xing's expression also gradually became serious.
Under the moonlight, Secretary Xing stood upright with a righteous demeanor in the courtyard. Despite being surrounded by toads and frogs, his towering figure remained unafraid, displaying a heroic spirit.
He Zheren took a few steps back, quickly drew out a folding fan from his pocket, and opened it. The fan was covered with red cinnabar talismans.
"Hehe," Wei Liuchan shook his head and said, "I enjoy the taste of meat, and I never refuse anything that is cold, sweet, and fragrant, except for vegetarian food." After speaking, he selfishly used his chopsticks to stir-fry the meat in the pot, as if no one else was around.
Wei, please speak. He Zheren had no expression on his face.
Wei Liuchan was quite surprised when he saw the situation. Suddenly, he jumped up with all four limbs, like a huge toad, leaping out of the house diagonally and landing gracefully in front of Secretary Xing.
Wei Liuchan said lightly: "I am a staff member of the Chinese Folk Tomb Protection Committee."
At this moment, He Zheren could no longer avoid it. The slippery duck intestines instantly wrapped around his neck and gradually tightened, emitting a truly strange odor.
So disgusting. Ke'er giggled.
Oh, it turns out to be "Shichong". I wonder who has a higher level of cultivation, Shichong or Rutouman? Secretary Xing pondered in his heart.
The toads in the courtyard move upon hearing the sound, jumping onto Secretary Xing's body like a swarm. In an instant, his body is covered with warts, making him look like a gigantic, bloated toad.
Ker, Secretary Xing, on the other hand, disagrees. "In this vast world, there is nothing that is not strange. The people living at the bottom of society have many peculiarities. For example, there are those who eat poisonous substances. If you were to encounter them, you would be even more astonished."
Wei Liuchan sneered and said, "Do you still want to run?"
Hehe, the little girl is right. My nickname is "Froggy".
"Gu" made another strange cry, and the wart on Wei Liuchan's chest suddenly burst open, and more than ten streams of white juice shot straight out...
Outside the window, the moonlight is hazy. Hundreds and thousands of wet toads and frogs that have just crawled out of the Black Water Pond are swarming over the old house wall and jumping into the yard like a swarm of bees...
Hmm, this filthy thing is not even eaten by our pigs, Fei Shu thought.
Who are you, sir? Wei Liuchan "pat pat" asked with his lips.
The atmosphere on the table is very awkward. Ke'er whispered, "Husband, we have to leave early tomorrow, shall we rest? Xiaowu, come and sleep with us tonight." She held onto her pet pig and didn't want to let go.
Wei Liuchan put down his chopsticks, lifted his sleeves to wipe the greasy mouth, patted his fat belly and burped a few times in a row. Then suddenly he lowered his face, stared coldly at Lao He, and slowly said, "I have a question that I don't understand, and I hope Brother He can enlighten me."
Wei Liuchan was delighted to see these raw rice grains, and couldn't help but reach out and grab a handful to stuff into his mouth, completely disregarding the etiquette of host and guest. It was as if he was savoring a delicacy.
Secretary Xing, you have nothing to do with this matter. Take Xiao Wu and leave here quickly.
Upon seeing the situation, Lao He did not inquire further and pushed the plate of pickled bamboo shoots in front of him, saying, "This is the famous Lansheng pickled bamboo shoots in the local area. Brother Wei can taste it."
Wei Liuchan picked up a large piece of pork with his chopsticks as if no one was around, not afraid of the heat, and skillfully rolled it up with his tongue and swallowed it directly into his stomach, with a "sizzle" sound and juice splashing everywhere.
"Your Excellency, this person's facial features resemble a toad, and his eating habits are the same, truly resembling a toad," Ke'er said disdainfully.
How can this be? At this moment, angry reprimands could be heard in the courtyard. The country has its own laws, and each family has its own rules. Anyone who violates the national laws should be dealt with by the relevant authorities. How can they take matters into their own hands and use vigilante justice?
With a "gu" sound, a long duck intestine suddenly spewed out of Wei Liuchan's mouth, winding and attacking like a snake, agile and lively.
Wei Liuchan smiled meaningfully but did not answer.
He Zheren reacts extremely quickly. With a single push of his hand, the Eight Immortals table shifts to the side and drifts away. The piece of red cloth wrapped around it carries a whistling sound, and with a "crack," it hits the wall behind and bursts open, scattering debris all over the ground.
