Chapter 375: Honest Villager
"Chen Guang, don't be in a hurry, you have something to say slowly." Luo Qianqian said.
However, she looked around vigilantly and said to Chen Guang: "This is not the place to talk, let's find a convenient place first, and then talk about it in detail." Don't worry, I can help you, and I will help you to the end. β
After hearing this, a man in his thirties burst into tears and said, "Thank you Immortal Gu, thank you for the grace of the heavens, the grace of the heavens is mighty!" β
"That's it! Hush! Luo Qianqian motioned to Chen Guang, there is still a fainting overseer here, and it is not a place to stay for a long time.
Chen Guang wiped away his tears and said, "Presumably the fairy aunt is not familiar with this place, Chen Guang knows a place to go, please come with me." β
"Good!" Luo Qianqian nodded in response.
She looked around vigilantly, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so she asked Chen Guangqian to lead the way, and she followed her, walking towards the back door of the garden.
Behind the garden, there is a forest, and when you see it in the middle of the woods, you can see a pale blue mountain behind the forest, and the front of the mountain is dotted with waves, probably a small stream.
When you are about to walk out of the forest, you can hear the sound of flowing water.
Next to the stream, there is a green meadow, and purple flowers bloom among the grass, and the flowers are fragrant.
Luo Qianqian smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that there is such a scenery here, this is the original appearance of Shushan." β
"Hearing this, Immortal Gu has been to Shushan Mountain?" Chen Guangdao.
Luo Qianqian said sadly: "Naturally, I have been here, I miss Shushan very much, I don't know why I haven't seen it for thirty years, but it has become a wilderness here." β
"The wilderness is all good, what you see is a corner of Shushan. If it is said that the fairy girl came to Shushan thirty years ago, then all the changes in Shushan really have to start from thirty years ago. Chen Guangdao.
"Oh?" Luo Qianqian concentrated, she didn't want to say goodbye thirty years ago, it turned out to be the beginning of the Shushan Incident.
Chen Guangdao: "Thirty years ago, there was a story in the market that Emperor Shu had a heart disease and ignored the affairs of Shu Mountain, regardless of the suffering of the people, even the famous Yundai River in Shucheng Palace dried up. From then on, the people were in fear. I don't know if it's true or not. I don't know what will happen to Shushan after that. β
"Emperor Shu is sick? What is the disease? Luo Qianqian said with concern.
Chen Guangdao: "Immortal Gu, I am a villager, how can I know." I also heard what I talked about with the fairy girl. I don't know the specifics. β
"Good! You continue. Luo Qianqian said.
Chen Guang moved to the creek. Look at the pale cyan mountains in the distance. Tears fell again.
He continued: "Not long after hearing the rumors, the overseers broke into our village and did give us some benefits at first. He also said that he would give us the opportunity to work. However, they said that they were all about the land deeds in the hands of the villagers. We were also quite hesitant at first, the title deed was left by our ancestors, and if it was given out, there would be no settlement in the future......"
He paused, taking a quick and deep breath, trying to temper his excitement.
Luo Qianqian frowned and listened, and said in her heart: The title deed is the lifeblood of the villagers, no matter what, you can't hand over the title deed!
After a while, Chen Guang calmed down slightly, and he said sadly: "We were so stupid at the time, we let them be deceived in a few words!" They promised that in the future, they would give us good food and drink, let us wear gold and silver, and live the life of a rich man. At that time, I thought about it, but I also had no hope for farming, and I felt that if I had been farming all my life, I would be a farmer, and I would never see gold. β
Luo Qianqian knew that Chen Guang made the mistake that everyone would make, and he was greedy.
Chen Guangdao: "The people in the village, not only I drew a charge with them, but also many people. However, there are also those who disagree, and then I don't know what means they used. In short, in the end, all the men of the village became their laborers. β
"You guys are so stupid! We should work together to get those overseers out of the village! Luo Qianqian said.
Chen Guang waved his hand, shook his head, and said, "I also thought like this at the beginning, when I followed them to build the first temple, they didn't pay us and whipped us, I knew that I had been deceived. However, it was too late, they had a government background, and they destroyed our village and moved our family to a wilderness for them to clear. β
"What?! There are only some women, children and old people left, how can they open up the wasteland?! Luo Qianqian said.
Chen Guang clenched his fists and said: "When I returned home for the Chinese New Year in the first year, I could only live in a thatched house in the newly relocated place, thinking that my home was a three-room brick house. Ay! My father and mother are sick and tired, and my two sons, both of whom are not yet hoe high, are going to open up the wilderness. What if you don't open up the wasteland? No money, nothing to eat! β
"Where's the grain?" Luo Qianqian asked.
Chen Guang chiseled his fist into the small tree beside him, the branches trembled, and the leaves fell.
He choked up and said, "Later, I learned that the villagers' grain was taken away by the government!" If you want to eat food, you have to spend money to buy it! It's all and hard to plant, and the government doesn't spit out bones when it eats human flesh, and hates us for not dying! β
"It's so damnable!" Luo Qianqian was so angry that she didn't want these officials to be so excessive, but she was even more puzzled that the officials of Shushan were like this, how could Emperor Shu ignore it?
What to do?
At the very least, I want to know which official did it.
Luo Qianqian approached Chen Guang, patted him on the shoulder, calmed his emotions, and asked by the way: "On weekdays, you can only see the overseer?" Who else can you see besides the overseer? β
"Hey! Without! We are not allowed to communicate with the outside world. Chen Guang calmed down and replied: "Moreover, we don't know who is making waves in Shu Mountain, and who is harming our poor villagers. β
Luo Qianqian said: "There are so many villages in Shu Mountain, won't every village be in such a situation, right?" β
Chen Guang shook his broad shoulders, clenched his fists again, and said, "It's all the same, on the way we go back and forth, the villages we see are all in the same situation. β
"Could it be? The villagers have all become laborers, and they are all building temples? Luo Qianqian wondered.
Chen Guang nodded and said, "It's probably like this, in the past thirty years, many villages in Shushan have disappeared, but temples have been built one after another. β
"Who is it all for?" Luo Qianqian really couldn't figure it out, why did she build so many temples?
Chen Guang replied: "I know, it is the Jade Emperor who is enshrined, and there are many heavenly officials in the Heavenly Court whose names I can't name. β
Then, Chen Guang became confused again and asked, "Immortal Gu, do you say that the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Official really exist?" Why we've never seen it. If they really exist, why don't they send someone to govern Shushan and take care of our innocent villagers. β
"Uh...... This ......" Luo Qianqian didn't know how to answer, and Chen Guang's question was a little naΓ―ve. (To be continued.) )
