Chapter 1 There is a female concubine
85_85797 Jingzhou in July, the trees are lush and the rain is continuous.
On this day, on the official road leading from Jingzhou City to Qingshan County, a donkey cart came.
During this time, there was a lot of rain in Jingzhou, and the official road was muddy and full of potholes, and the donkey cart and the donkey ridden by the three servants were splashed with mud. It wasn't until I entered this Qingshan County, whether it was a donkey cart or a person, that I tasted the dry taste.
The three servants beside the donkey cart all looked relaxed, and a man in his thirties approached and said happily to the donkey cart, "Girl, you have finally arrived at the place." â
The curtain of the car was lifted, and a young girl showed her face.
The girl's name is Ji Ji, she is thirteen or fourteen years old, although Ji Ji is young, she is very beautiful, and she has an open heaven, a very beautiful Qiong nose goes straight to Yintang, a crow with beautiful hair, and in a place where she is generally yellow face and black teeth, her neat and snow-white teeth are dazzling, and she is a well-born delicate girl at a glance. It's just that, compared with most women of her age in Jiangnan, she was born a little taller, and the two eyebrows that went straight into the temples and the phoenix eyes in the eyelids made her still immature and youthful beauty a little more arrogant.
Ji Ji stretched out her head, she looked at the large areas of fertile fields under the embankment, and the villages that were faintly visible in the woods, and gradually her eyes straightened, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she didn't move for a long time.
The man called out in surprise: "Girl? Girl? What's wrong with you? â
Ji Ji was still looking at the village steadily, and suddenly, she held her head in her hands and made a sound.
Seeing this, the two men and the driver on the donkey cart shouted worriedly at the same time: "Girl? Girl? â
Ji Ji shook her head violently and said in a dumb voice, "I'm fine." â
The old man driving the car said worriedly in front of him: "Girl, you always have a headache in the past month, and you don't want to ask you for divination, and there is no famous doctor in this neighborhood to seek medical treatment......
Before he could finish his chatter, Ji Ji interrupted in a clear voice, and she said, "Li Bo, I'm fine." She sat up straight, her face was pale, but her eyebrows and eyes were calm, and Ji Ji said: "I'm just hallucinating for a while, and I'm not resting well." â
When Ji Ji mentioned "hallucination", her face was a little strange. At the same time, she turned her head to look at the fertile fields under the embankment.
In the village under the embankment, there are 100 acres of fertile land recorded in her name. And this 100 acres of fertile land is Ji Ji's most important property.
It was the first time she had come to Qingshan County, and she had never seen this place before, but just now, there was a hallucination in front of her eyes. In the hallucination, the rolling filthy flood came to the sky, and after they broke through the embankment in front of them, they rumbled and rolled over, destroying the village in front of them with smoke and trees.
However, in the blink of an eye, the vision was gone.
This is not the first time Ji Ji has hallucinated, and in the past month, similar hallucinations have appeared for the fourth time. The first time, after she saw a new acquaintance, she immediately knew the name and origin of that person, and the second time, she was on the official road, occasionally heard someone playing the qin, and actually judged the name of the guqin used by that person, and in that quarter of an hour of playing, she made several fingering mistakes, etc., but in fact, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she had just come into contact with the qin.
As for the third time, it was even more outrageous, when she stayed overnight in the reverse journey, she heard a few scholars talking there, for a whole hour, the first sentence they said, all came from what scriptures and classics, what was the content of the next sentence, and what was the content of the previous sentence, she was clear!
And now, she actually saw the flood!
Thinking that the hallucinations he had seen in the first three times had been verified, Ji Ji's face was difficult to see.
At this time, Uncle Li's voice came, "Girl, there is a way ahead, shall we enter the village?" â
Ji Ji pursed her lips, she looked ahead for a while, pointed to the embankment, and said, "It's still early, let's walk along the embankment." â
"Okay!" In the loud response of the two guards, the donkey's hooves reached and the vehicle continued to move forward.
At that time, the sun had just turned from the middle of the sky to the west, and in the weather of July and August, the power of the sun was very great, and it hung in the sky with white scorching, shining on the earth and making the earth sweltering.
And in this sultry heat, in the direction of the east, another muffled thunder came. The thirty-year-old guard glanced to the east and shouted, "It's thundering again!" For half a month, the thunder continued to sound every day, and I don't know what the rain had turned into that place. â
Another thin, triangular face, and shrewd Sun Fu said: "Didn't the group of traders we met five days ago say that it has been raining non-stop in seven or eight counties, and the incense in their Dragon King Temple is much more prosperous than in previous years." â
The two guards were chatting without saying a word, and out of the corner of their eyes, they glanced at their own girl from time to time, and when they saw Ji Ji's face as pale as paper, the two of them became worried.
After walking for a while, Uncle Li's voice came from the front, "Hey, there are so many people, what are these villagers doing?" He stood on the cart and looked at it with his head held high.
The three of them also followed Uncle Li's gaze and looked ahead.
With just one glance, Sun Fu shouted, "These people are cultivating the Earth Dragon." I'll take a look......" He lifted his feet and glanced at it, and immediately said, "Ah, there is a land temple behind those trees, and it is still a new one. Yes, it must be that the land temple is too low, and the villagers are worried that the rain will flood the statue and anger the land lord, and they are busy building the earth dragon to block the water. â
Ji Ji also looked at it seriously.
On the west side, a mile or two away from them, there was a small wood, and there was also a newly built land temple, and three hundred and fifty or sixty villagers were carrying a load of dirt on their shoulders to fill the mountain stream behind the land temple.
Since the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the past 200 years, wars have broken out, and dynasties have changed one after another. This is the way things happen in this world, either the yang overpowers the yin, or the yin covers the yang, like in this era, there are too many people who have died, and there is no uprightness, and the dragon qi of the court suppresses the ghosts, and the people who are sick and suffering, and the people who are in distress do not have enough of their own vitality and yang energy to suppress the disaster, so there are often diseases and many people who are restless, so that everyone believes in ghosts and gods. And the villagers in Jingzhou are even more famous for their "obscenity" and belief in demons and ghosts. For example, this land temple is one of the obscene rituals often built by the people.
At this moment, six magnificent ox carts came from the opposite side.
Looking at the mighty frame, Uncle Li hurriedly drove the donkey cart to the side.
The ox cart was getting closer and closer, just a glance, Sun Fu quickly lowered his head, he turned his face to look at the other side, and whispered in surprise and excitement: "Girl, that's the world!" â
Ji Ji snorted, and she, like the three servants, lowered her head and avoided it respectfully.
In a few moments, the procession of six ox carts came by.
Still far away, Ji Ji heard the laughter from the ox cart procession, and faintly, a young man said: "I heard that Lu Ziyou lived in Naluoshui Village, I thought it was such a beautiful place, but I didn't expect it to be so ordinary." â
As soon as the young man's voice fell, several laughs came together, and at this time, a voice came, "Thirteen Lang, then let's also enter Luoshui Village." â
While these people were talking and laughing, they came close in the blink of an eye.
Seeing them approaching, the expressions of Uncle Li and the others became more and more respectful and humble, especially Sun Fu, who was standing next to Ji Ji, almost half of his body was stiff, and the flattery and flattery of the superior from the depths of his soul could not be concealed.
The people in the ox cart that came slowly also glanced at Ji Ji casually.
A chuckle came, "Hey, this sister-in-law was born with a beautiful backbone." â
It was a middle-aged man who spoke, and almost as soon as his voice fell, a young man next to him immediately smiled and said, "This kind of daughter of the Han clan, if Uncle Nineteen takes a fancy to it, he can take it." â
Ji Ji's lips tightened suddenly.
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "It's not too rare, don't make extraneous branches." â
After the middle-aged man dropped this sentence, the gaze locked on Ji Ji faded. Soon, the ox cart team walked away, and under the eyes of Ji Ji and others, they entered Luoshui Village under the embankment.
Watching them enter Luoshui Village, Ji Ji's lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows. Just now, there was another hallucination in front of her eyes, but in the turbid flood that wiped out the entire Luoshui Village, there were more than a dozen floating brocade-clothed corpses.
Really, these people just deceived her by the way......
Ji Ji frowned for a while, stood up suddenly, she looked towards the land temple, the mountain stream for a while, turned her head to look at the embankment when she came, and then looked along the embankment to the east where thunder and lightning were combined.
Ji Ji pointed to the east and said seriously: "Uncle Fu, if there is a flood in the east and then it floods us, do you think it will rush across this embankment or enter this mountain stream along the lĂŹ?" â
Uncle Li took the lead and laughed: "Girl, you are worrying about it again." There is no rain in Qingshan County, what kind of flood are you afraid of? He pointed to the mighty ox cart procession, and said: "Those big people know everything, they have all the masters, they are not afraid, girl, what are you afraid of?" â
Sun Fu said even more respectfully: "Lao Li said very much, it was the world clan who passed just now!" What books have they not seen in these noble families? None of them felt that something was wrong, girl, what do you have to worry about? â
When Sun Fu talked about the world, Ji Ji raised her eyebrows with a smile, but in the blink of an eye, the arrogance on her face turned into bitterness. Secretly exhaling a breath, Ji Ji pressed her heart and looked at the three of them firmly.
Sun Fu had no choice but to follow her hand and look at it seriously. Lu Shen answered on one side, "Naturally, it is to enter the mountain stream, and the area where the land temple is located is obviously low, and the place is large, and there is a mountain stream that can discharge the flood." In a blink of an eye, he said: "However, when these villagers fill in all the mountain streams, and then build a two-zhang tall earth dragon according to the custom, then it may be possible." â
Ji Ji nodded.
The hallucination just now was too clear and real, as long as she wandered, she could see the tragic situation of floating corpses, thatched huts floating, and crows everywhere. They were so real, so real that she could smell the stench of floating corpses!
Ji Ji turned her head to look at the village again, and when she hallucinated just now, she seemed to hear a voice saying that it was this flood that flooded a hundred acres of fertile land under her name, which greatly damaged her vitality and caused a series of accidents, so that she never turned over in her life
