Chapter 60: The Immortals Descend to Earth
The village chief handed over a bowl of hot tea with both hands, and smiled at the sluggish Zhao Liang: "Cowherd, you are suffering." This tea is not only to express gratitude to you, but also to make amends. ”
The villagers behind him also thanked the village chief one after another, and couldn't stop praising the Cowherd for his real skills.
Xiao Hei next to him also asked embarrassedly: "Brother Cowherd, how do you know that there will be a water source in that place?" ”
"I herd cattle every day, and the cows know where the water and grass are abundant," Zhao Liang said with a long breath: "I naturally know where the water and grass are abundant." ”
Just half an hour ago, Zhao Liang, who had fallen into a wrestling situation, was carried out of the deep pit full of clear water by the villagers and sent straight back to the village chief's house. And at this moment, this usually inconspicuous cowherd has become a big hero in the whole village.
The village chief happily muttered in his wife's ear, turned his head and said, "Cowherd, according to the previous agreement, I plan to marry my daughter Lingxiu to you." Don't want a dowry or anything, and marry two cows, what do you think? ”
"Oh—" The villagers couldn't help but cheer when they heard this, and several of the young youngsters were about to cry with jealousy. But Zhao Liang didn't say anything, he just looked stunned.
"What? Aren't you happy? The village chief felt a little strange: "Is it disgusting that Lingxiu is sick now?" Or do you think she's possessed by a drought? But anyway, last night was ...... after all."
Zhao Liang suddenly came back to his senses at this time and asked, "By the way, where is your daughter now?" ”
"Yes, in her room."
"Take me there." Zhao Liang cheered up, pulled the village chief and walked out. The village chief was a little baffled by him, and led everyone to the wing room in a daze. But when he arrived at the door, Zhao Liang didn't go in immediately, but asked again: "You said that there are blood stains on the mattress, can you show me?" ”
"This ......" The village chief was embarrassed when he heard this, after all, that thing was his daughter's first popularity, and it was a bit too unorthodox to look at it so publicly.
At this time, Zhao Liang couldn't take care of so much, he had to take advantage of his wise and martial arts miracle just now, and quickly confirmed his previous judgment. Under his repeated urging, the village chief's wife reluctantly took out the mattress and stuffed it into Zhao Liang's arms angrily.
Zhao Liang held the mattress in front of his eyes, carefully identified the red blood stains in the sunlight, and then put it to his nose and sniffed it.
"Huh-" The villagers exclaimed, I'm afraid this thing isn't a pervert, right? Do you even smell that thing?
The surrounding noise did not disturb Zhao Liang, he seemed to be possessed by Sherlock Holmes and Conan, carefully investigated for a long time, and then beckoned to Xiao Hei: "Come, you can also come and smell it." ”
Xiao Hei's eyes widened in horror, and in an instant, he looked around for a firewood knife, and muttered, "I have to cut this beast!" ”
Seeing that the other party might go berserk again, Zhao Liang hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong! I don't think it's human blood, it's cow blood. ”
"Cow blood?" The village chief was puzzled, reached out and took the mattress and looked at it carefully: "Hey, it's a bit ...... But I can't tell, I can't tell. ”
Zhao Liang decided to take a gamble, so he said, "It's easy to distinguish." Are there midwives here? ”
"Yes, I picked up all the dolls in the village." An old woman walked out.
"Then please go for a long time," Zhao Liang instructed, "You accompany Lingxiu's mother to go in and check whether she is complete." ”
The midwife looked at Zhao Liang in surprise, and thought: Don't you know it yourself? However, despite the doubts in her heart, she still followed the village chief's wife into the wing. The effort was not great, and the two people went and returned, only to see the village chief's wife with a happy face, and shouted in a loud voice: "Old man, old man, our daughter is still a big girl with yellow flowers, it's okay!" ”
The midwife also said: "Lingxiu has indeed not experienced intercourse, everything is fine. ”
"Huh? This...... This ......" The village chief was surprised and delighted, turned to Zhao Liang and asked, "What is going on?" ”
A big stone in Zhao Liang's heart finally landed: it seems that the bet was right.
Before this, he had always been puzzled by what the Cowherd had done, and felt that there was something strange about it. For example: If he wants to do bad things to Lingxiu, then why would he shout after he was done, as if he deliberately let the village chief know? Another example: after this incident, why didn't he run for his life, but slept in the cowshed, as if he was deliberately waiting for the villagers to arrest him?
It wasn't until Zhao Liang discovered that the bloodstains on the mattress were not from humans through trace reconnaissance just now, and the general outline of the case gradually surfaced: Cowherd learned that the village chief decided to send Lingxiu to Sifang Mountain to sacrifice to the warlocks in order to solve the drought, so he planned to rescue the poor girl. But he is weak, and Lingxiu is in a coma, and it is impossible to rescue people by himself. So, he thought of a plan - to pretend to take away Lingxiu's chastity. In this way, the village chief, who was superstitious about magic, would no longer dare to give his daughter who had lost her pure yin body to the warlock for practice. And he was nothing more than being arrested and beaten to death by the villagers, and he dared to act.
Therefore, Zhao Liang decided to take a big gamble at that time and let the midwife test his reasoning. And as it turned out, the final result was exactly what he expected.
Facing everyone's doubts, Zhao Liang explained in a mysterious way: "Eh...... Here's the thing. In fact, I am not a cowherd, but a star in the sky who came down to earth to experience calamities and save the common people. For more than 20 years ago, this eye has not been opened, so he has been using the identity of a cowherd to mess around. Just now, this little black brother kicked me into the deep pit, broke my spiritual aura, and remembered my true identity in a blink of an eye. My surname is Zhao Mingliang, and the Aquarius star is descending to earth. As for what happened yesterday? I can find this water source, so there is no need to sacrifice Lingxiu again. But at that time, I hadn't realized my immortal body, and I couldn't convince the village chief to change his mind, so I had no choice but to use ox blood as human blood, and lied that Lingxiu girl was not perfect, so as to dispel the village chief
The old man's idea of sending his daughter to Sifang Mountain. ”
His half-truths, half-truths, clouds and mountains and foggy statements, made everyone present look at each other.
A villager sneered with disdain on his face: "Cowherd, you just blow it!" I found the water source by mistake, so I really think of myself as a living immortal? ”
Zhao Liang unhurriedly stretched out a finger and hooked it at the man; "Come on, come here. I can see what you're thinking at the moment by looking at the eye of the sky...... Well, you're thinking about the second sister-in-law next door! ”
The villager originally still had an indifferent and playful expression, but after listening to Zhao Liang's last words, he immediately widened his eyes in horror, and stood on the spot with his hands over his mouth.
The villagers next to him laughed together at first, but when everyone saw that person's exaggerated reaction, they immediately realized that - Cowherd, oh no, it's Zhao Liang, he actually said it!
Zhao Liang nodded with satisfaction, turned to the skeptical village chief beside him, and said lightly: "Let me see what you are thinking...... Well, the two hundred private money I hid under the stove won't be seen by him, right? ”
Hearing Kutong's voice, the village chief, who had always been calm and atmospheric, suddenly knelt down, and said to Zhao Liang with a big change in his face: "Living immortals, living immortals!" ”
When the villagers saw that the village chief knelt for Zhao Liang, they immediately understood that they must have been told the central matter again. So everyone knelt down in a mess, and kept chattering about the living immortals. If it is said that finding a water source before was a skill, and the later rescue of Lingxiu was kindness, then the current heart is a veritable miracle.
Zhao Liang was satisfied with raising his hands high, letting the sunlight shine on his body, with a faint golden halo, as if it was really Da Luo Jinxian descending to earth, he secretly thought in his heart: At this time, it would be more perfect if it could be matched with a passionate background music!
