Chapter 164 Catching Ghosts and Shooting Foxes
Li Zhuming, the son of Li Yizhuo, the magistrate of Suining County, is the younger brother of Wang Jiliang. He is bold and courageous. Wang Jiliang's mansion has many attices, and strange things often happen.
Li Jiming stayed there. He loved the coolness of the attic and set up a bed upstairs alone. Someone advised: There are monsters upstairs. Li Zhiming smiled at it and didn't care. The master ordered his men to accompany him and take care of each other. Li Zhiming refused and said, "I'm used to sleeping alone, and I don't know what to fear in my life." Wang Jiliang couldn't do it, so he had to light the incense burner in the room, lay the quilt, and close the door to say goodbye.
Li Zhuming lay down and rested. The moonlight fell, and the teapot on the table rotated and tilted endlessly. It neither fell nor stopped. Li Zhiming scolded loudly, and the teapot rattled and stopped abruptly. Then the incense burner was not automatic, shaking in mid-air, and the incense ash was sprinkled, intertwined vertically and horizontally, changing into various patterns.
Li Zhiming got up and scolded: "Who is the ghost? How dare you come here to be wild?" Naked. Get out of bed and get ready to catch the monster.
Looking for shoes with his feet, he only found one, and had no time to search for the other. He ran barefoot to the side of the incense burner, and a slap was thrown out, which was right in the incense burner. The incense ash rolled upside down and flew back, all of which fell into the furnace, but it was silent and there was no one or dead. Li Zhiming leaned over and groped secretly. Suddenly, an object flew over and hit his cheek. It felt like a cloth shoe. He had to search for it, but he couldn't find anything. So he opened the door and went downstairs, called the servant to light the lamp, and stared in the candlelight. There was nothing in the room, but he didn't find it. He had no choice but to go to bed.
The next day, at dawn, Li Shuming and several servants searched for lost shoes everywhere, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, but still didn't know where they were. When Wang Jiliang heard about this, he sent him a new pair of shoes. After a few days, Li Zhuming occasionally looked up and saw a cloth shoe between the cracks in the raft. He took it down and saw that it was the one he had lost.

Li Juming is from Yidu and sometimes lives in Sun's mansion. The Sun family compound is very magnificent, and many places are idle. Li Jiming lives in half of the empty houses. The south courtyard is next to a high-rise building, and the two are only separated by a wall. From time to time, some people see that the doors and windows upstairs are automatic without wind, and the switch is turned on and off. It seems that they are secretly controlled by some force.
Li Zhiming knew about this and didn't pay attention to it. Occasionally, I gossiped with my family about the courtyard. I saw the door open with my own eyes, and a little man came out of it, sitting facing north, and his body was less than three feet. Green robe and white socks.
When everyone first saw the villain, he pointed and stared at him. The villain was still sitting still without being moved by everyone's discussion. Li Ming said, "This is a fox demon." He hurriedly took the bow and arrow and bent his bow to shoot. When the little man saw this, his mouth was babbling and made a sound of laughter. He looked disdainful. As soon as he twisted his body, he disappeared.
Li Jiming went upstairs with a knife and scolded while searching, but to no success.
Since then, nothing strange has happened in the attic.
