Zhu Wei was my and Xiao Lin's master, a very sturdy middle-aged man. One day, our unit organized a mountain climb, and Xiao Lin and I caught a weasel on the way up the mountain. We found a rope to tie the weasel's neck and led it up the mountain playfully. However, when Zhu Wei saw it, his face instantly turned white, and his lips trembled and ordered us to let the weasel go immediately.

Xiao Lin said disapprovingly, "Master, a weasel, what are you afraid of?"

Zhu Wei scolded: "What are you talking about, let you go."

I saw that Zhu Wei was really angry and hurriedly said, "Master, let it go, let it go, we will let it go immediately."

As I said, I untied the rope that tied the weasel, and it jumped up and ran away quickly. When we reached the top of the mountain to rest, Zhu Wei called me and Xiao Lin over and said, "I know you two are not convinced. Are you thinking that Master is too timid to be afraid of a weasel? Well, let me tell you a story about my encounter with a weasel, and you will know what happened."

Ten years ago, Zhu Wei, who was in his twenties, went to visit his third uncle in the mountains. It was noon when he arrived at his third uncle's house. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a big green snake with a thick wrist lying on the wall of his third uncle's house. The big green snake was lazily basking in the sun.

Zhu Wei was startled and shouted at Third Uncle as he grabbed a stick next to him. Third Uncle followed the sound and saw Zhu Wei holding the stick and was about to swing it at Green Snake. He hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't hit him!"

Zhu Wei said, "Third Uncle Snake..."

The third uncle came over, grabbed the wooden stick in Zhu Wei's hand and threw it away, saying, "Don't hit me if I tell you not to. It is my family's fairy."

"Family Immortal?"  Zhu Wei asked doubtfully.

The third uncle smiled and said, "People in the mountains call snakes family immortals. This snake is human and can help me look after my house and catch mice. When the weather is good, it comes out to bask in the sun and never hurts people, so I call it family immortals."

"There is such a thing!" Zhu Wei said with a grain of doubt.

The third uncle pointed to the big green snake in the corner and said, "This snake has been in my house for several years. When I first found it, I picked it up with a stick and threw it up the mountain. But I didn't get home yet, so it arrived first. Then I threw it a few times, and no matter how far it was thrown, it could come back. The elders in the mountain said that it didn't want to go, which means it wanted to keep your house. I thought it was right, so I left it..."

Zhu Wei was amazed when he heard it.

After lunch, Zhu Wei and his cousin Wang Hu went up the mountain to play. In a cave, Zhu Wei saw a lonely hut there. Zhu Wei asked curiously, "What is that house for?"

Wang Hu said, "That's the Wong Tai Sin Temple."

"Wong Tai Sin, who is Wong Tai Sin?" Zhu Wei asked.

Wang Hu looked around and whispered, "It's, it's a weasel."

"Ah! Weasels also have temples!" Zhu Wei said in surprise.

"Of course." Wang Hu said, "This temple has been around for many years, and the old people still give it incense!"

Zhu Wei said, "Let's go in and have a look."

Wang Hu quickly stopped him, "The old people said that you can't enter Huang Daxian Temple casually. You can just take a look here."

Zhu Wei smiled and punched Wang Hu, saying, "What, are you afraid? What if we go in and take a look? We don't move his things."

After saying that, Zhu Wei pushed Wang Hu away and strode in.

There was a table of offerings in the middle of the room, and on the table of offerings was a clay statue of a god. Zhu Wei took a closer look. The sharp nose and a pair of small eyes of the statue were really made of weasels.

At this time, Wang Hu shouted anxiously outside: "Brother, come out quickly."

"Oh, it's coming." Zhu Weidong looked around, and as he was about to step out, he suddenly saw a fat and big weasel jump out from behind the statue, with a pair of small eyes staring at him. Zhu Wei's back could not help but feel a chill. Without thinking, he picked up half a brick on the ground and smashed it. The brick just hit the weasel's head, and the weasel screamed in pain, ran quickly to the door, and disappeared immediately.

Wang Hu, who was standing outside the door, saw this and trembled in fright, saying, "Brother, you have offended Huang Daxian."

Zhu Wei patted the dust on his hands, walked out, and said, "A weasel, what's so scary."

Wang Hu said: "Brother, let's go back! You smashed Huang Daxian just now, I'm just afraid it will come to take revenge on us later."

Seeing that Wang Hu was terrified, Zhu Wei hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry! The weasel I smashed just now is definitely Huang Daxian, not all weasels are Huang Daxian! Looking at its eyebrows and eyes just now, it doesn't look like a Daxian. Don't worry!"

When they got home, it was already dark.

That night, Zhu Wei and Wang Hu slept together. Zhu Wei had a strange dream that an old man with a white beard was holding a bowl of fragrant meat. He first gave Zhu Wei a few pieces of meat and asked if it was delicious. Zhu Wei said that he had never eaten such delicious meat, and he still wanted to eat a few pieces.

The white-bearded old man said, "If you still want to eat, you can exchange it for something."

Zhu Wei said, "What to exchange for?"

The white-bearded old man said, "You know, take it out!"

Zhu Wei said, "You haven't said it yet, how would I know?"

The white-bearded old man said, "You know what I want, give it to me quickly."

Zhu Wei said, "I really don't know what you want, can't you just say it?"

The white-bearded old man glared at him and said, "Hurry up and give it to me."

Zhu Wei was also impatient and scolded: "You dead old man, you can say whatever you want, and play any riddles with me."

As soon as he finished scolding, Zhu Wei woke up and found that the light was on in the room, and he was standing on the ground instead of lying on the bed. Without allowing him to think much, he saw that the hunting fork that should have been placed in the corner of the third aunt's house was now facing his throat. The hunting fork was as tall as a person and was only 5 centimeters away from his throat at most. If Zhu Wei took half a step forward, the hunting fork would directly pierce his throat.

Zhu Wei broke out in a cold sweat, wondering how could this happen? Could it be that he was sleepwalking? Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the bed. This look startled him again, and he saw Wang Hu sitting on the edge of the bed with empty eyes, holding a firewood knife in both hands, and the blade was about to cut off his neck.

"Huzi, what are you doing?" Zhu Wei shouted and ran over to grab the firewood knife in his hand.

Who knew that Wang Hu's strength was so great that not only did he not let go, but he broke free from Zhu Wei's hand, stood up, and held a firewood knife to cut him. Zhu Wei was so frightened that he hid and shouted, "Huzi, what are you doing? Put down the knife quickly."

As if he hadn't heard, Wang Hu slashed Zhu Wei one knife after another, and Zhu Wei was so frightened that he shrank back while hiding. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the third uncle rushed in like a gust of wind, grabbed Wang Hu's right hand with the knife, and then parted his legs. Wang Hu fell to the ground with a "snap", and the firewood knife was released into the hands of the third uncle.

The third uncle threw the firewood knife into the corner, pressed Wang Hu with both hands, and shouted his name loudly, but Wang Hu did not seem to hear it, and there was no reaction in his empty eyes.

"Not good, Huzi was hit by Huang Daxian." The third uncle said, turned Wang Hu over, and then asked Zhu Wei to lift Wang Hu's right arm, and his hands pinched Wang Hu's armpit and the inside of his arm. After a while, Wang Hu's armpit was pinched out of a big bag, which was as big as four or five centimeters.

When Zhu Wei saw it, he was shocked and said that it was impossible to pinch such a big bag with his hands. What was inside?

Seeing that the bag was getting bigger and bigger, the third uncle began to push the big bag forward little by little. Strange to say, the big bag was like a big ball hidden under the skin. As soon as you push it, it moves. After a while, the big bag was pushed to the back of Wang Hu's neck.

At this time, the third aunt came in, holding a large needle for the sole of the shoe in her hand. Wang Hu suddenly struggled and shouted, "Don't stab me!"

Zhu Wei was taken aback. This voice was not Wang Hu's at all, but an old male voice.

The third uncle glanced at Zhu Wei and said, "Don't let go." At the same time, he grabbed the big bag harder.

Wang Hu struggled again and shouted loudly: "Don't stab me, I don't dare anymore."

Zhu Wei suddenly remembered that this voice was the voice of the white-bearded old man in his dream.

The third uncle shouted loudly: "Za--"

The third aunt next to him immediately bandaged the big needle hard, and with a "pop" sound, Wang Hu's back neck spurted out a stain of blood. Wang Hu immediately quieted down.

Next, the third uncle and Zhu Wei carried Wang Hu to the bed and covered the quilt.

The third uncle took out a flashlight from the drawer, picked up the firewood knife from the corner, and said to Zhu Wei, "Let's go and have a look outside the door."

Zhu Wei followed the third uncle to the door with a confused look on his face. The third uncle took a flashlight and made Zhu Wei speechless. On the ground of the yard, the big green snake of the third uncle's house was entangling a weasel, and the weasel was dying. The third uncle went over, raised the woodknife and slapped the weasel on the head, and the weasel's body softened. In an instant, the big green snake let go of the weasel that was entangled by it and went into the hole without looking back.

Afterwards, the third uncle told Zhu Wei that his dreams and Wang Hu's strange behavior were caused by the weasel. Because some weasels in the mountains have a special ability to deceive people, the people in the mountains call this special ability Dao Xing. Zhu Wei's dream was deceived by the weasel, who wanted to lure Zhu Wei to commit suicide. Fortunately, Zhu Wei's will was stronger, and the weasel did not succeed.

Wang Hu was also confused by the weasel, and he was even more confused. People call this condition the upper body. The reason is that Wang Hu's will is too weak and he has a sense of awe towards the weasel, so it is easy to let it go.

As for why this weasel made trouble with Zhu Wei and Wang Hu, of course, it was to get revenge for the brick Zhu Wei hit it with.

After the story was told, Zhu Wei said, "This is something that Master has personally experienced. Weasels will hold grudges, so I want you to let it go and don't hurt it."

Xiao Lin chuckled and said, "Master, you are talking about Liaozhai! What era is this, and will there be such a thing? I don't believe it."

Zhu Wei sighed and said, "Whether you believe it or not, there are many things in heaven and earth that are not as simple as you think. Okay, let's go down the mountain."
