Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Strange Scenery

The quiet morning of the field suddenly disappeared, disturbed by the sudden noise.

Like a calm lake, a stone falls into the lake, causing ripples.

A group of people wearing official uniforms and holding gongs in their hands walked in the middle of the field, and the leader held a stack of papers in his hands, and the man opened the paper in his hand, looked inside, got his head up from it, and looked around the fields, as if looking for something.

The people working in the fields put down their hoes and stared nervously at the group of people who came to the government, and a few young women couldn't help but make a sound, and quickly covered their mouths again.

Wen Shuifan was bowing his head and hoeing the ground, ignoring the things around him, just hoeing quietly. After looking for a long time, the leader pointed in the direction of Wen Shuifan and went straight in her direction.

Seeing that the direction in which the official was walking was not herself, the young woman present breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she was quickly picked up again.

Walking in front of Wen Shuifan, the man opened the paper in his hand again, looked at the paper in his hand a few times, and then looked at Wen Shuifan who was working with his head down, and said, "Take it away." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were several officials who paid money and planned to forcibly drag people away.

"Wait, dare to ask the official brother, what crime has the people's daughter committed, she will be dragged away." Wen Shuifan put down the hoe in his hand and asked.

"Don't you know that today is the ninth day of the ninth month?" The chief official said, "The day when the lord of the city marries." The city lord had ordered a few years ago that all women of appropriate age would enter the city lord's mansion. Don't you know this rule? ”

"The folk girl knows." Wen Shuifan said, "But." The folk girl was married last night, and it didn't conform to the rules set by the city lord at that time. ”

The lord of Licheng gave an order a few years ago. All the folk school-age girls in Licheng must go to the city lord's mansion first. It can only be married after being selected by the lord of the city.

The appearance of this order made many people happy, but more people were reluctant, they didn't want their daughters to enter the city lord's mansion, so far away, they didn't know whether their daughters enjoyed happiness in the past or suffered losses in the past.

However, the lord of the castle ordered. I also had to do it.

It's just that there are loopholes in this rule that can be drilled. Some families have thought of a lot of ideas: spend some money to find someone to enter the city lord's mansion instead of their daughter, and marry their daughter as soon as possible.

The former is something that only rich families can do, and the latter is something that most ordinary people choose.

There is also the idea of relocating the family, and this idea is carried out by very few people, and no one wants to leave their homeland lightly and go to a completely unfamiliar place to start a new life.

That's it, marry your daughter early. It's the most appropriate idea.

That's a good idea, and then the problem arises accordingly. With so many daughters to marry together, how can this groom be found?

Thinking about it. In the end, an idea came up, and that was to rob the groom. The villagers would call their fellow villagers. Go to the official road and lie in ambush, just waiting for a descendant to come. I stepped forward and grabbed it.

After grabbing it, I will first ask whether I am married or not. If you are unmarried, don't ask about it, no matter what you don't care about, marry your own girl first.

Fortunately, because of this order of the city lord of Licheng, many men in Licheng are unmarried and cannot marry their daughters-in-law. There is no system that creates polygamy.

By the way, there is also the question of what if the robbed groom is not of good character or something? There is also a way, the groom who was snatched first visited the church, and after the worship, there were young descendants from the same village to take care of him.

In the midst of care, there will also be a period of inspection. After this period, the bridegrooms are all husbands and wives, and they love each other until they are old.

Robbing the groom has become a detailed and feasible method in Licheng. It can be seen that the ordinary people are also tortured and cannot survive.

Hearing Wen Shuifan say that he was already a family member, the official led by him sneered from his nostrils: "Hmph, don't think I don't know what you are doing in secret, if I get serious, uncle, you will not be able to get rid of the kidnapping of people one by one." For the sake of being a fellow villager, I didn't pursue it, uncle. ”

"Besides, what if you get married? What if you grab a silver-like pewter head? So, you better go with us, suffer less, suffer less. ”

The officials around all watched, and when they heard the silver-like pewter spear head, they walked around Wen Shuifan's body, showing a look of understanding to each other, and they all laughed.

"Lord Guancha, the folk girl is really married." Wen Shuifan is still making the last struggle. There are already a few officials who have dragged people with money, Wen Shuifan was originally a woman, and she was worth the strength of so many men, and she was gradually going to be dragged away.

Someone went to call Wen Shuifan's parents early, and when Wen Shuifan's parents came, they saw the scene of their daughter being dragged away, so they were in a hurry and stepped forward to pull the official errand.

"Lord Guancha, our daughters are already married, you can't just snatch our daughters away!"

"Less nonsense, you get out of the way."

"Lord Guancha, please let go of our daughter, and I will repay you by being a cow and a horse in the next life."

"Whoever wants you to repay in the next life, I want to repay in this life. Old thing, get out of the way! ”

The other people standing in the middle of the field saw this scene and wanted to step forward to help, but they really didn't dare to do it.

In this year, the officials did not fight with the people.

"Knock knock—"

A noisy, chaotic gong was struck, which made people upset to listen to it, and became the most special sound present.

As soon as the voice came, all of a sudden, the presence fell silent.

There is also a thin river in the green grassy meadow, exposed to the sun, and from a distance, it looks like a glowing silver necklace. Circulating between the fields and the fields, outlining the shape of the fields.

Not far away, there are low mountains in the ups and downs, the distant mountains and near the mountains are confused and confused, raise their eyes and look forward, there are countless moths flying and shaking among the thousands of mountains and ravines, the heaven and the earth suddenly become gray and white, and the breath of the mountains and forests is quietly overwhelming.

The shadowy mountains are like a fairy who has not woken up from sleep, dressed in a thin veil like cicada wings, with affectionate veins and silent eyes.

All the people looked at the place where the gong was struck.

A handsome young man, holding a gong in his hand high above his head, was knocking on a rambling sound.
