Chapter Twenty-Four: The Statue of God

"Please come in and speak. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Pei Ziyun understood that this was a gesture of favor by the Li family, the Li family did not mention the money, and he had to give it after receiving the title deed, but there was no extra money in his hand, so he hesitated.

This housekeeper's mind is also clever and transparent, as soon as he saw Pei Ziyun's appearance, he knew that he was hesitating about the money, and hurriedly continued: "If the prince can't afford to collect the mortgage of fifty taels for a while, it doesn't matter, just pay it back when you are free for the New Year or next year." ”

These ten acres of land were bought by his mother with the only remaining money, and now the meaning is different, Pei Ziyun was also happy to see the Li family so polite, and said: "Mr. Li is in Sangzi, and he has been admired for a long time in his later life, but he has no chance, and he has never visited him, so he should visit more in the future." ”

That's what the housekeeper wants, he is a showman, tenth on the list, although not too high, but the young man is only fifteen years old, and the future is broad.

These ten acres of land, no matter how much can be paid off, now this is a good fate, the two are talking, and then there are villagers to visit, the housekeeper saw that someone is coming, so he said goodbye.

The villagers came, it turned out to be a hunter in the village, they were all familiar, and at this time they led a person, and when they got closer, it was a teenager, this young man was a little thin, Pei Ziyun greeted him and said, "Why is my uncle here?"

At this time, Zhang Orion pulled the thin young man forward, only to see that the thin young man was a little shy and didn't dare to come up, and he didn't talk much.

Zhang Orion's face was a little tangled, and he said: "This is my nephew, the son of the widow Zhang in the village, I saw the Li family's housekeeper coming early in the morning, and I knew that I was here to return the land, so I came here and wanted to rent land for my nephew." ”

After a pause, he sighed deeply and said: "My nephew's father went early, and his mother pulled it not easy, his father was a good gambler, and he had a bad temperament, and he didn't leave any land, but now that he is old, I have no choice but to leave my face, and ask you for a favor, for my face, rent three acres of land for my nephew to plant, and the rent is as much as it is, and it can be regarded as having a meal, which is considered to be my uncle's mind." ”

Pei Ziyun listened to what Zhang Orion said, and was about to agree, when Pei Qianshi stepped forward: "Little Huzi, your mother, are you okay? I haven't seen you move around recently!"

At this time, the thin boy raised his head and replied, "Mother is fine, but it has been a little cold recently, and she has caught a cold, so she has not gone out." ”

At this time, Pei Qianshi thought about it, and then Ziyun said: "My son, I know the situation of this family, my father is a good gambler, but he has a bad temperament, and he gambles on the fields, it has not been easy, and it is even more difficult than our family before, so you should respond." ”

Pei Ziyun listened to his mother say this, and replied: "My family now has ten acres, and the county will reward me with five acres, but there is still room for connection, even if my mother says so, I will rent five acres." ”

When Zhang Orion heard this, he pulled his nephew and thanked him again and again.

Everyone was happy, and seeing that there was nothing to do, Pei Ziyun said, "I'll go out for a while." ”

In the afternoon, I went to the Peach Blossom Spring, and when I arrived at the door, I saw that the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and I was about to knock on the door, when the viewer came back from outside, and saw Pei Ziyun, he smiled: "It turned out to be you, come and follow Su'er?

Pei Ziyun arched his hand and said: "Thank you for taking care of Ye Su'er these days, this time I won the show, but I came to meet Ye Su'er." ”

As she was talking, Ye Su'er was already full of faces, came out from behind the door, and said, "I heard it yesterday, there is a talent in Woniu Village, and I knew that Brother Pei, you would come to pick me up today." ”

At this time, Xiao Daogu pursed her mouth, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she had cried.

"Thanks to Guan Zhu and Xiu'er for taking care of me these days, Brother Pei came to pick me up today, and I want to go back. Ye Su'er, looking at the Guan Zhu and Xiaodao Gu Xiu'er, she was reluctant.

The female crown was a little sentimental, and said: "Ye Su'er, I also have some feelings these days, you want to leave, I am also a little reluctant, but ......"

Before the words fell, the beads on the side of her ears fell slightly, she stopped, seemed to listen, and said in a blink of an eye: "I am the best at divination, so I sent a hexagram and calculated my mind." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Su'er to reply, he took out a few copper coins and threw them, seeing the hexagram, the female crown's expression changed, a little uncertain, Ye Su'er accompanied the side of the master, knowing that the female crown was effective, she was a little surprised when she saw it, and asked: "What did the master count, so surprised." ”

The female crown's expression was slightly complicated, she thought about it, and said: "Su'er, your disaster has not faded, I am afraid that there will be disasters when I go back this time, if I stay for a while, I can turn disasters into blessings." ”

Seeing the serious look of the female crown, Ye Su'er bit her lip, her expression was a little struggling, and she raised her head and asked, "Can the viewer calculate, how much longer do I have to stay before I can go back?"

The female crown pinched her fingers and calculated: "It only takes half a month, and the disaster will go away!"

"Brother Pei, what do you say?"

Pei Ziyun was a little surprised, the change in the female crown just now made him feel inappropriate, but there was no Taoism, and he didn't know what had changed, after thinking about it, he still felt that it was okay to stay for half a month, just to solve the black wind thief by himself, so naturally worry-free.

He said: "Since the Lord has said this, Su'er, you should stay for half a month longer." ”

"Well, you will definitely come to pick me up then!" Ye Su'er choked up a little.

"Definitely!"

When he came back from the Peach Blossom Spring, Pei Ziyun's face was a little wrong, and after thinking about the day, he said directly to his mother: "Mother, I still have to go to the county once to complete the formalities for the five acres of land!"

"It's business, but be careful on the road. Pei Qian said: "Let the village chief's ox cart send it!"

Not to mention that Pei Ziyun was uneasy, it seemed that he was wrong, and when he arrived in the county, he asked the coachman to go home, found an inn to live in, and the shopkeeper boiled water to deliver food, and it was already dark.

Pei Ziyun rested in the house for a while, then got up and asked, "Today is the night market?"

"Starting today, it is the county town god temple fair, and when it comes to the meeting period, there are merchants who come early and set up tents along the street for three days!" the boss immediately replied.

"It's this night market, I don't know if it's early today. Pei Ziyun suppressed the chaotic mood, and thought: "I remember that in my previous life, there was a person who bought a bronze statue in the night market, but when he opened it, he saw that there were gold beads in it, and he made a fortune, and he was famous in the township, and the original owner was still envious, jealous and hateful. ”

"But I can't remember what day it was, and I don't know if there was a stall today. ”

Pei Ziyun smiled indifferently: "It's too stuffy in the house, come out to breathe." ”

As he spoke, he came out, and it was a very sunny day, densely packed with stars, and the streets were actually not wide according to his vision, one by one, in turn.

But on both sides of the street, there are lanterns, measuring characters and divinations, selling small food stalls, buying and selling all kinds of goods, and there are people gathering to gamble, shouting and shouting, people come and go, it is really very lively.

"No matter how many there are, it's just a kilometer of stalls, and you can find them all. "In the end, it is an ancient bazaar, the scale is limited, Pei Ziyun settled down, Xu Bu paced over, just like those idle and good people, walking to see and buy some old things.

"This place is for food, and it's certainly not. ”

"It's selling cloth, and it's not!"

At this time, the flow of people on the street is getting denser, the cart is pushing the soup pot, the donkey is carrying melons and fruits, blowing candy people, and selling fried dumplings, there are more and more.

Pei Ziyun's interest gradually improved, and he walked around, looking at these vendors carefully.

"An acre of land is now sold for seven taels, well, now that the country is opened, the population is not much, and the land is still cheap, I remember that the land was five or six times more expensive in the middle of the feudal dynasty, and now you can buy more. ”

"Well, now that Taizu founded the country, there are big copper coins and a lot of copper, and the people are very popular. ”

Unconsciously, Pei Ziyun has followed the flow of people to the City God Temple, the City God has the capital City God, the provincial City God, the County City God, and the County City God's four levels, but there are actually only two levels - the county government!

Even if it is the county god, the incense is not bad, the main hall is more than high, there is a vacant lot in front of the temple, at this time the bamboo and wood set up the stage to sing the opera, the pilgrims are pouring in, the hall is crowded with people, the burning incense makes the flames come out of the copper tripod, the heat is unbearable, and the busy retreat.

At this time, the flow of people is getting more and more crowded, there are scholars pacing with folding fans, there are old farmers discussing farm tools with people, asking if they can reduce the price, many children are running around on the road, looking at the rock sugar gourd, Pei Ziyun searched, Pei Ziyun searched again, did not see anyone selling ancient gods, felt a little disappointed, saw a shed, and sat with him: "A bowl of wontons!"

"It's coming!" The proprietress responded happily, and after a while, she served it, Pei Ziyun ate delicious, suddenly turned her eyes, and was stunned.

I saw that on one side of this wonton stall, there was a small stall, but it was squeezed inside, a little invisible, at this time, it was mostly bits and pieces, but in the copper ladle pot and bottle dishes of the lampstand, I saw a strange statue of the god, shining golden light under the lantern.

"It's all a waste of effort!" Pei Ziyun's heart was beating, but he pretended to be fine, ate the wonton, went over to look at it, looked at it casually, and took it to the statue: "It's a little heavy!"

"This is natural, solid copper, and my ancestors used it for incense when they were grandfathers. A lame young man said, shouting again: "Come and buy it, they are all old objects, and they are valuable!"

In addition to the statues, there are also some sacrificial vessels, and many people are discussing: "This loser, the ancestor is wide, and when it reaches him, it is easy to gamble, and if he loses, he takes the things in the family and sells them, and his leg is broken." ”

Listening to this discussion, Pei Ziyun was even more sure, the weight of the idol was different, weighed it, only felt that there were some very subtle collision sounds inside, recently practicing the mantra, the touch has increased greatly, and I felt it when I weighed it, I tried other statues, but there was no voice, and asked: "How much is this statue." ”

"Five taels of silver, take it if you want!" I saw the lame young man wave his hand, and said expressionlessly, as if he was a little numb.

The specific inside has to be dissected to know, and then do not hesitate: "Okay, I bought it, the money and goods are cleared, this is five taels of silver, give it to me." ”

Seeing the silver, the man's face was slightly better, and he looked at the statue and his mouth seemed to squirm, and his eyes struggled a little, but finally he didn't say anything, took a piece of cloth, and wrapped all these things.
