Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 154 Beagle

Shanxi Weizhongtang, when he used to be a scholar, he was tired of disturbing and moved his study to the temple. There are many mosquitoes and fleas in the monk's house, and they can't sleep at night. After dinner that day, Wei Zhongtang rested on the bed. Suddenly, a little warrior came in, with chicken hair in his head, about two inches tall. Riding a horse is as big as a grasshopper. Wearing a green leather armband in his hand, a falcon came in from the outside, as big as a fly, circling in the room and moving quickly.

Wei Zhongtang was staring at himself and walked into another person in the blink of an eye. The costume was the same as the former. He has a small bow on his waist and a hound in his hand, which is as big as a giant ant. Hundreds of people came one after another, walkers, riders, hundreds of falcons, and hundreds of hounds. The indoor mosquitoes and flies fly, and the little man fights with the eagle and kills them all. Hound Deng. The bed climbed on the wall, smelled with his nose, searched for fleas from the cracks, and found one. In an instant, the fleas fled, and the lice ran for their lives, and were all killed.

Wei Zhongtang pretended to be asleep and took the opportunity to observe. He saw falcons gathered, and the hounds rushed around, and he couldn't help passing by. Then a man in yellow, wearing a flat crown, like a king, climbed onto another bed and tied his mount to the straw mat. As soon as the warriors got off their horses, they presented mosquitoes, flies and fleas, circled around, and whispered to each other. They didn't know what to say.

Not long after, the king got on the chariot, and the guards hurriedly got on the horse. They only heard ten thousand hooves galloping, as dense as pearl rain, full of smoke. In a moment, a group of people dispersed cleanly.

Wei Zhongtang was vivid in his mind. He was at a loss and thought, "Where did these people come from?" He got up in his shoes and went out of the house to patrol. There was no trace around. He returned to the room and looked around for a search, but still found nothing. Only a small beagle was left on the green bricks on the wall. Wei Zhongtang caught the puppy, and the puppy was extremely tame. Put it in the box and play it over and over again. The puppy's body hair is soft, delicate and smooth, and there is a small ring on its neck. It is fed with rice and does not smell. Jump to the bed to find the seams, kill lice and fleas, and go back to the box to rest after eating.

After one night, Wei Zhongtang was worried that the hound was lost. He opened the lid of the box and still curled up. Wei Zhongtang lay down and slept, and the hound went to bed to patrol. If he encountered lice, he would be bitten to death immediately, and the mosquitoes and flies did not dare to approach. Wei Zhongtang likes it very much and regards it as a treasure.

One day, Wei Zhongtang took a nap in bed, and the hound lurked beside him. Wei Zhongtang turned over and pressed it to the bottom of his waist. He was aware of it in a daze and hurriedly got up to check. The hound had been crushed and killed, like a paper-cut, leaving only a thin piece.

Although the hound died, the indoor pests have disappeared since then.
