Chapter 14: Fengdu, Feng'an

The weather is like people's hearts, unpredictable, Feng'an Town before the month is still sunny and the flow of people is endless, and now it has become cloudy and windy, and the yellow sand is full of sky.

On the streets of Feng'an Town, the main road that was originally full of people has also become a little deserted, such a ghost weather, flying sand and rocks at every turn, who wants to run outside every day without anything.

Women are afraid of wind and sand, the wind blowing their faces is so strong, blowing away the long skirt to reveal a few wisps of scenery is not tight, anyway, the people here are fierce, and most of the women are straightforward, don't you just let those rough men take a few looks, anyway, a piece of meat is indispensable, even if those men's eyes are hooked, but they don't just dare to think about it in their hearts, talk about it, who dares to make any moves, and is not afraid that the cultivation master of the Ling Tian Sword Sect will poke him with a sword.

The woman's spring light is not afraid, but where is the delicate face subjected to such wind and sand, the pretty face is blown by the wind and sand for a day, I don't know how many taels of silver rouge gouache can be found to make up for it, the flower has a new day, and people are no longer young, so the women who have always been intrigued this time have chosen to stay at home for the first time. finally started the life of husband and child.

There are no white flowers and long legs on the street, there is no little lady who is as beautiful as a flower, and the men are not in the mood to go to the street.

So Feng'an Town was completely quiet, except for some old and weak women and children and poor people who braved the huge wind and sand to make a living outside, only the autumn wind was left on the street, rolling up circles of leaves, mud and sand, fine stones...

Some women stayed at home for too long, could not bear the loneliness, leaned against the window of the boudoir at home, looked at the wide street, and thought to themselves, how good it would be if there was a handsome boy at this time, if only the handsome little brother could look at himself! Later, the number of people standing at the window gradually increased, women, men, old people, children, but after looking at the streets for so many days, every day was a violent wind, the sky was full of sand, and the small trees that had lost their branches were all a little bit beautiful.

After the yellow sand lasted for more than a month, the wind and sand did not decrease but increased, getting bigger and bigger, even if the cultivators of the Ling Tian Sword Sect worked tirelessly and made a special trip to inform them that the yellow sand would not be able to retreat in the future, but no one knew what day it was.

Such a large yellow sand no longer allows ordinary people to go out or open the window, once the window is opened, it is a lot of wind and sand poured into the house, even if the window is closed, the wind will not be whistling outside the house... Day after day, I don't know when it will come to an end...

The rich and noble people are trapped at home for more than a month, and they can still keep food and clothing worry-free, but the poor people have long been unable to open the pot, and it is not easy to get a thousand gold, and it is difficult to find a spoonful of food.

Someone ventured out and was never heard from again...

Feng'an, Feng'an, food is abundant, today's Feng'an Town is without the wind and sand a while ago, the wind and sand stopped, people are pouring into the streets, and the noise of the streets is more prosperous in the past.

On the evening of the third day after the wind and sand, Zhang Laosan, the butcher of Dongbian Street, came to the door of the neighbor's bachelor Lao Li Tou as usual after going to the market, he carried a large jar of wine in his hand, and a few catties of the remaining pig's head meat that had not been sold today were stewed and smashed, and were put in a large clay pot, still steaming, and he was carefully held in his arms.

He thought in his heart, Lao Li Tou always said that he Zhang Laosan was stingy, reluctant to drink wine and eat meat, this time this big jar of wine should be able to relieve the gluttonous saliva in his stomach, right, then again, he has been busy with housework He hasn't had a wine conversation with Lao Li Tou for a long time, and he is drunk and rested, remember that the last time was the New Year...

Don't look at Zhang Laosan's roughness, in fact, his mind is very delicate, and he is even more grateful, when he was young, the family had no money, sometimes he couldn't eat a meal a day, every time he was hungry in the alley, hoping that someone could open the door and give him a bite to eat, especially in winter, even if it was a mouthful of hot soup, it was good, at this time there was always an old man beckoning to him, the old man was addicted to alcohol, twisted peanuts, and drank drunk.

Lao Li Tou always said that wine is food essence, and he is full of drinking, and he eats a fart meal, but in fact, he knows that the old man is taking care of his self-esteem.

Lao Li Tou is old, he has no financial resources, and he drinks less, Zhang Laosan also takes on the responsibility of taking care of this old man, he Zhang Laosan has no ability to make the old man rich, but at least let him be a hundred years later, someone will send a clock...

Zhang Laosan stretched out two fingers and took out the key hidden in the crack of the stone by Lao Li, and opened the door...

A scream pierces the town that has returned to peace!

When Lao Li Tou was found, there was only a human skin left, and there were two red palm prints full of blood, and this kind of thing couldn't make any big waves, and it was strange for a person to die, no background, no children, and if he died, he would die, and at most let the tea lane wine shop have a little more to talk about.

But no one thought that within a day, people would find the second and third dead... There are more and more dead, and all the dead are left with only a human skin, so the strange saying spreads more and more, the deceased has no signs before death, and there are men, women and children, there is no law in such a way of dying, that is to say, anyone can become the next deceased, people began to speculate, Fox suspicion, all kinds of ghost essays came one after another, everyone began to endanger themselves, even the ruffians who had no taboos on weekdays began to worship the Taoist Immortal Buddha, although the dirty business in his hands did not let go, but who doesn't want to reduce a little sin, even if it is not so conspicuous compared with his peers, what if there is a comparison when the ghost master chooses who to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple? Maybe pick up a life, after all, no one wants to be the next human skin.

After a few days, the residents of the town invited a Taoist immortal master who subdued demons and subdued demons, set up a high platform, set up a legal platform, and the Taoist recited the Taoist victory scripture for a day and a night.

The immortal master said that someone in Feng'an Town angered the true people of the Heavenly Dao, and the heavens sent down the criminal law to take their lives and eliminate the crime. If you want to break the law, you must find out the source of the anger of the true people of the Heavenly Dao and get rid of it, and then everyone bathes and changes clothes, worships eighty-one a day, prepares ten gold and ten silver, and yellow grain white fat, so as to resist the disaster and eliminate the disaster.

The residents in the audience worshiped sincerely, choked on the ground with their heads, and pleaded with the immortal master to find out the source of the disaster.

The immortal master showed his magical powers, flew up, and recited the true scriptures, "The gods and spirits of the heavens, the immortals, today's disciples break the calamity and eliminate the calamity, and eliminate the misfortune with longevity, and I implore the heavenly immortals to show me the way!"

A fairy light descended from the sky and flew into the crowd, and everyone turned sideways to avoid it, for fear that the fairy spirit would think that he had angered the god and caused disaster!

Fortunately, the fairy light disappeared in a flash, circled the field for several weeks, seemed to hesitate, and finally stopped on the head of a child in the field, this child was out of place in the crowd, and at this time the fairy light stopped beside him, and he was still smiling.

Everyone looked at each other angrily, this idiot was a fool from a cheap peasant family in the town, because he was born stupid, everyone called him an idiot, but they didn't expect him to be the source of the disaster.

Sure enough, it is a slut who lives a slut, and snakes and rats share a litter!

Under the guidance of the immortal master, several big men tied up the smiling young man, tied up five flowers, prepared ten live pigs, 100 live chickens, and countless blood and food, and under the escort of the residents of the town, they were going to be sent to the Shenjiang River of the Milan River!

In the name of disaster reduction, disaster reduction, disaster reduction...

Feng'an town after the wind and sand, the grain is abundant and the people are safe, the products are abundant, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is a ten-mile pavilion outside Feng'an Town, there is a welcome shop in the ten-mile pavilion, this shop is ushered in, sell some tea noodles, fry some wine and side dishes, because the only one in the ten mile radius, plus the proprietress is enchanting, treats people warmly, and there is no taboo in talking and laughing with people, so it has become a gathering place for many businessmen, martial arts knights, Jianghu rangers, etc.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the day was about to fall, and the proprietress was about to close the door to thank customers, but a hand blocked the door that was about to be closed.

The man blocking the door had a handsome face, a luxurious blue brocade robe, a double fish ring around his waist, a green sheath sword, and a warm smiling face, which deserved the title of suave and suave.

The man was followed by a woman, the woman was wearing a cyan dress, her long hair was like a waterfall, her hair was tied in a moon bun, her face was like the bright moon, and she wore a piece of clear white jade on her chest.

The proprietress can be said to have read countless people, she glanced at the pair of men and women dressed all over, it can be described as gold carvings and jade, dressed like this, handsome men and beautiful women, carrying heavy treasures, don't you understand to tell others that they are fat sheep?

If you dare to walk the rivers and lakes in gorgeous clothes, either you have absolute strength and are not afraid of the danger of being guilty, or you are a chick who does not know the height of the sky, swaggering through the market, and you will either die or be injured!

The man raised his warm smile and asked softly, "Boss, Xiaosheng is presumptuous, the brother and sister have come here, it is getting late, and I want to rest in your store, I wonder if the proprietress can make it convenient."

The proprietress glanced at him strangely, and also smiled at him, "I'm sorry, there's no room!" swelled the door shut, joking, the two brothers and sisters are so swaggering, I'm afraid they have already been targeted by the mountain bandits, in case the time comes to catch a turtle in an urn, the turtle is caught, it's okay, her urn that has been managed with great difficulty has been demolished, who can find to reason!

The man was smacked in the door, and the woman behind him laughed.

The man is also a scoundrel, if you don't let me in, I won't leave, see you take my miscellaneous, he came to the root of the door, chose a relatively neat and clean, slightly flat place and lay down, cocked Erlang's legs, and shouted loudly into the door, "Boss lady, if you don't let me in, my brother and sister can only sleep at your door, you can be careful when you go out, be careful not to trip and twist your slender waist, then I will be guilty!" Don't worry, my brother and sister won't sleep on your threshold in vain, and when a guest comes, I will tell them that the room is full, and let them find another place..."

"Shameless" The proprietress took a sip lightly, amused by the young man's scoundrel, when his family was in charge of her door, he was also such a scoundrel, and I don't know if I was blinded by lard back then, how could I like to eat this set, and now I live such a hard life, she has to show up as a woman, and deal with the three religions and nine streams, who is the sadness and bitterness of it, now the child is eight years old, calculate the time, the head of the family has been dead for 3 years... Three years, that's a lot...

Besides, this man is really different from other rich families, although most of the other families are polite and gentle, but when you get along with them, you will find that the arrogance in their bones cannot be concealed!

Let them sleep in the doorway? Don't even think about it...

The man heard the woman's light tempering in the house, and he replied, "The boss lady has good eyesight, I don't have any ability, it's just this face, don't say no, don't say anything, just say nothing!"

When the man was gagging, a rugged man with a beard came over, and he saw the boy who was sleeping at the door at a glance, he didn't understand the special habits of these rich children now, sleeping at the door, are they all playing like this now? He stretched out his leg and kicked the boy on the ground, "Alas, move it, why don't you get in the way?"

Brother Gongzi is not happy hey, he pretended to be asleep, I won't move, see what you can do with me!

The bearded man suddenly became a little angry, "You don't know the rules, do you want to eat and fight!"

The proprietress inside the door heard the movement outside the door, she was a little worried, it seems that the beard is a practitioner, don't fight, this weak man will suffer a big loss, forget it, conscience finds that he should be a good person!

"Come in, walk the rivers and lakes, many friends and many roads, autumn is cooler and heavier, there are two pots of wine that I will give you to keep you warm" The proprietress took out two pots of wine at the counter and kicked the man in Chinese clothes who was still pretending to be dead.

In his sister's chuckle, the man in the Chinese costume stiffened up with a carp, took the wine jug, and said with a smile, "Boss, how can I let you break the bank" He raised his hand and took out a piece of silver and slapped it on the table!

"This benevolent brother's wine, food, and accommodation are wrapped up in me!"

Seeing that the man was so generous, he was a little embarrassed by the conflict just now, he touched his beard and grinned, "Then how embarrassing?"

At this moment, an elderly figure walked into the wine shop, the old man closed his eyes tightly, wearing a ragged sermon robe, carrying a basket on his back, Lou Zhong can see the red pen, yellow paper, peach wood sword and other things, holding a pathfinder hand in his right hand, holding a big banner in his left hand, on the banner is written "iron pen god calculation, breaking yin and knowing yang" eight big characters, the words gold hook silver stroke, force through the black flag! From the dress, you can see at a glance that he is a fortune teller!

The old man entered the wine shop, put down the basket without hurry, set up a big banner, and shouted in an old voice, "Boss, give me the best wine, the best meat, count it on the three of them!"

Everyone present didn't know what was going on, the forest was big, and there were really all kinds of birds, and there were people who ate and drank for nothing and forced to keep accounts!

The blind fortune teller turned around and faced them and said, "Little friend, the old man has a pot of wine and a meal of meat, in exchange for the lives of the three of you, isn't it too much?"
