Chapter 239: The Woods Dwell

So the people dispersed in an uproar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Lin Qi did not leave.

She sat on the beam, still looking like a kitten, but her eyes kept looking at the county magistrate and master who were gradually moving away.

The old county magistrate was scared to death by her unintentionally, although people can't be resurrected after death, but she can see that this old county magistrate is a good official.

But this time, the old county order died, and a county order with a bad stomach came, and he was accompanied by a black-hearted master, this time, I am afraid that the people of this county have suffered it.

So since she can't bring the old county order back to life, then she must also arrange his aftermath for him, at least she shouldn't let this pot-bellied new county order squeeze the people under his management.

So she was going to stay for now.

There is no place to live here, so she simply lives in the forest where the bones of the old county commander are buried, and she can talk to the old county commander when she is fine.

The injuries on her body haven't healed yet, so she will sleep here tonight for the time being, and wait for tomorrow morning, and then go to see what the new county order is going to do.

The night breeze rustled the leaves in the woods, and she lay in the woods, and through the cracks in the leaves, she saw the stars like broken diamonds, so beautiful, so peaceful.

Finally, she was safe, even if there was no place to live, but after all, she was able to survive.

She smiled, like a child who had been given candy, and then her slender fingers brushed her scars little by little.

The wounds will always heal, and she is about to face a new life.

She will no longer be a wanderer, she will be a freewheeling person, she can go wherever she wants, and she will no longer need anyone's restraints.

The wind blew over and over again, like a mother kissing every inch of her skin over and over again.

She never knew that the world was so beautiful, she no longer had to face those killings, no longer had to face those intrigues, no longer had to worry cautiously, no longer afraid that she would not survive tomorrow.

Those people will be in the past, everything she has experienced will be turned over, and her life will usher in a new page, she closed her eyes, leaving a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked forward to this day.

This night, the new county commander did not go to bed early, at this moment, he was discussing his important affairs with his master under the candlelight.

"Master, you said you can't build a dam to control the water, why is that?"

The pot-bellied county magistrate drank tea and asked the master sitting next to him suspiciously.

The master raised two eyebrows, and said to the county magistrate in a tangled manner, "My lord, we are not here to please those foolish people, we are here to make a lot of money." ”

The master said word by word was extremely sincere, but the county magistrate wondered, does this lack of flood control have anything to do with making money.

So he opened his mouth and asked the master: "We are indeed here to make money, but I don't know what we have to do with making money and curing the flood? If we now use the hands of those foolish people to cure the flood without spending a penny, those foolish people will definitely be grateful to me, and won't it be easier to make money in the future, why stop it!"

The master looked like a mountain man had his own clever plan, shook his head proudly, and then looked at the puzzled county order and said: "My lord's words are wrong, although this will make the people grateful to us, but in the future, they will also give some small money, but once one day you want to charge them some more money, they will immediately turn their faces and deny people, this is obviously not a long-term plan." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he couldn't help but let out an "oh", and then immediately looked at the master intently and asked, "Then according to the master's opinion, what should be done to be able to achieve the long-term!"

The master's eyes were full of light, and then he looked at the county order and smiled incomprehensibly before he spoke: " My lord, in my opinion, it is better for us not to build this dam, let the flood flood, and tell the foolish people that the river god in the water is angry, and want to bring disaster to these foolish people, and then at this time, we propose that the boy and girl sacrifice to the river god, as soon as this news comes out, naturally no one is willing to sacrifice their own flesh and blood to the river god, and those who do not want their children to sacrifice to the river god must hand over the silver, so that they can spare their children. Think about it, there are so many families with children in this town, just sacrifice once, how much money should we charge!"

At the end, the master showed a smug expression on his face, as if he thought of the scene when he was holding a lot of white flowers and silver in his hand, so he smiled even more happily.

The county magistrate was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he suddenly felt that the master he was looking for was really a cash cow, and he could figure out any way. Hearing what the master said just now, he was already happy to close his mouth, he couldn't wait to make this decision public immediately, but it must be too late now, he laughed hahahaha, and patted the shoulder of the master sitting on the side, the master understood that he was naturally very satisfied with this idea, so he also showed a smug smile on his face.

The two of them laughed side by shoulder, and the laughter was so loud that it scared away the little bird that was chirping on the eaves, and the little bird fluttered and flew up to the dark blue sky, perhaps they were also worried about which family would suffer tomorrow!

The night is still going on slowly, like a silkworm wriggling in the pitch-black silkworm chrysalis, slowly, so leisurely, with a trace of depression.

Lin Qi slept in the woods for a while, and suddenly woke up somehow, she felt a little thirsty, so she went to the forest to drink some dew earlier.

However, there was too little dew to drink it, but she was so thirsty that she decided to steal some water from someone not far away.

So she turned around and walked towards the dimly lit house.

Walking on the road, I can hear the sound of the river flooding not far away, looking from afar, I can vaguely see the houses that were flooded by the river, at this moment they are like abandoned children, half floating and half sinking in the soup river, as if waiting for someone to redeem them, she somehow, suddenly felt a trace of sourness in her heart, and felt a little lonely.

She ignored this unprovoked thought, and no longer looked at the floating house, but walked intently towards the house with the light.
