Chapter 110: Monster (1)
Zhang Yang is a native of Zhangjia Village, Xiucai was born, he was originally a teacher in Zhangjia Village, he has married a wife and had children, the child is five years old this year, his mother is watching the child at home, and his daughter-in-law is cultivating five acres of thin fields, barely making ends meet.
Five years ago, Taohua Town recruited clerks, Zhang Yang also signed up, a written test, only five people left, during the interview, Mayor Yao took a fancy to him and another person, until now, because of his diligent work and strong ability to do things, Fang Lei did his push again, and was promoted to deputy mayor.
But as soon as he was promoted, he still received the salary of a clerk, and with that meager income, he could not afford to support his mother, daughter-in-law and children, so he had to go home to help during rice planting and harvesting, so as to reduce his wife's labor intensity and barely maintain a poor life.
Fang Lei got up very early today, when he transported the ore out, it was just dawn, he drove the carriage to the front of the town office, Zhang Yang, Feng Zhutou with seven or eight catchers, was already waiting there, everyone jumped into the carriage, Fang Lei pointed at the horse's head with a whip, and the horse galloped quickly.
Zhangjia Village is only more than ten miles away from the town, and it will take half an hour to arrive, Zhang Yang saw that his wife and mother's family also came to help, and said very happily: "Okay! There are so many people at once, and the harvest will be finished soon! ”
His wife, Wang Yue'e, said: "The people in the village are almost finished harvesting, if you don't come back, this autumn harvest will be a big loss, the rice is ripe and bows its head, and soon the rice will fall to the ground!" ”
She recognized everyone on the field, only Fang Lei was a newcomer, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen my sister-in-law!" Fang Lei is polite! ”
Wang Yue'e was busy with a blessing and said, "The cheap concubine has seen Fang Gongzi!" ”
Zhang Yang hurriedly introduced: "This Fang Gongzi is not simple, he is a legend in Peach Blossom Town, assisted in the arrest of Fang, solved two major cases, and is highly valued by his superiors!" ”
Fang Lei raised his eyes and looked, Wang Yue'e looked good, at the age of twenty-one or twelve, she had the mature beauty of a woman, her body was plump, her skin was white, her round face was always smiling, and her two deep dimples were very charming.
He felt that it was already good for the croppers to maintain this figure, so he said, "Brother Zhang! After the harvest, let my sister-in-law go to the medicinal restaurant to help! The monthly salary is ten taels of silver, which should be about the same as your salary! ”
When Zhang Yang heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Yue'e! Don't thank your son soon, even if your husband is treated as the deputy mayor, it is only ten taels of salary per month! ”
Fang Lei hurriedly stopped: "Sister-in-law, don't thank me, I also recruited a father and daughter when I opened, and the monthly remuneration was also ten taels of silver, no more, no less!" ”
One of them quickly said, "Blessed is my sister-in-law!" We come in the wind of the arrest room, go in the rain, and sometimes have to fight with the bandits, licking blood on the tip of the knife, the danger is abnormal, and it is only five taels of silver a month, you are twice as much as us! ”
"Thank you Fang Gongzi! From now on, we don't have to farm at home! ”
Wang Yue'e said gratefully, too! A female streamer farms at home, harvests in spring and summer, harvests in summer and autumn, ploughs the fields and targets the land, where can he afford it?
Zhang Yang said: "Thank you so much to Young Master Fang!" The town has already allocated me a house to live in, but my wife has no financial resources and can't support her life, so she doesn't dare to pick them up. ”
As he spoke, the child walked out of it, and Zhang Yang hurriedly said, "Come and see Uncle Fang, let's live in the street in the future!" ”
This kid didn't recognize his life either, and shouted in a childish accent: "Hello Uncle Fang! ”
Fang Lei liked this tiger-headed child very much, tiger-backed bear-waisted, healthy and strong, smart, innocent and lively, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”
The child said, "My name is Zhang Xiaohu!" ”
"Zhang Xiaohu! Are you afraid of heights? As he spoke, he picked him up.
Most children have a fear of heights, and when they lift it above their heads, they will be scared to cry "wow", and even spill their urine out, like this kind of child, Fang Lei dares to play with it, and is it strange if he is not scared half to death?
"This kid is naughty enough, throw him high in the air, and then catch it with his hand, and he won't cry!" Zhang Yang said.
Fang Lei said: "That's good! You put your arms around your uncle's neck, and I'll take you up to catch birds! ”
As he spoke, a few small birds flew through the air, and he jumped with the little tiger in his arms, flew up, and suddenly stretched out his right hand, grabbed one of the larger ones, and then floated down in a dashing manner.
When everyone saw it, they were so frightened that their tongues stuck out couldn't retract into it, and Fang Gongzi was able to ascend to the sky.
Feng Zhutou said in surprise: "Young Master Fang! That night, I said why don't you care about going up to the top of Skinny Dog Ridge, it turns out that you didn't climb up, but flew up! ”
"My master is an immortal, do you think I can fly?" Fang Lei asked.
Feng Zhutou only remembered at this time that the lewd thief was first-class, flying off the wall, but Fang Lei could catch him lightly, without peerless magic skills, is it possible? ”
Fang Lei handed the bird to Xiaohu, told him to catch it with both hands, then put it on the ground, and said, "Little tiger! Tell grandma to bring you a birdcage to raise, and the uncles are going to cut rice! ”
When the little tiger saw that there were birds playing, he was very happy and shouted, "Thank you, uncle! Goodbye"
As he spoke, he quickly ran to the back room, Fang Lei waited for everyone to take the sickle, and then carried them along the field avenue towards the flamboyant rice field.
At this time, Wang Yue'e's mother's family had already cut the rice in the field, Fang Lei and Cai Qiang were responsible for bundling the ears of rice, and then loading them in bundles on the carriage, looking at the yellow and full of rice, Fang Lei was happy in his heart, autumn is another harvest season, and their lives this year should be more stable than in previous years, right?
It should be an easy task for a dozen people to harvest four or five acres of paddy, and in the second half of the day, even the last piece of Hetao land was harvested.
There is a small river in Zhangjia Village, the river surface is not wide, but the water flow is turbulent, at the bend, it is washed by the river water that flows day and night, and has already formed a huge deep pool, Fang Lei saw that the pool water is rolling, the blue waves are rippling, and he wants to wash his hands and feet, so he steps forward and gradually approaches the edge of the pool.
Suddenly, an old man hurriedly ran from behind, shouting loudly as he ran: "Childe can't do it!" Stop, there's a monster in the pool! ”
Fang Lei asked suspiciously, "There are monsters in the pool?" Who saw it? ”
"Don't hide it! I saw it with my own eyes! The old man said conclusively.
Fang Lei asked, "What was the situation like at that time?" Who saw it? ”
"I saw it alone, no one else at the time!" The old man emphasized.
Fang Lei saw that the old man was over seventy years old, and his old eyes were dizzy, was he wrong?
