The whole son's house is not big, only three earthen houses, straw roofs, and there is a pigsty on the left side of the house, but it is far away, almost no peculiar smell, the ground is also clean, and there is no.

Seeing that the farm tools and everything were placed in an orderly manner, even the broom branches were clean, the scholar couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and sat down on the small bamboo chair in the courtyard.

Quanzi put down the bamboo basket, saw that the scholar was about to drink again, hurriedly brought a basin of water, asked the scholar to wash it, and ran out to call his father.

"Where's the scholar?"

"I don't know, I listen to the accent like a foreign person, riding a donkey, the donkey is handsome."

The face of a scholar is as big as the sky.

Hearing that a scholar was visiting, Lizheng Qigong, who was supervising the ditch with a straight face, not only approved the leave of Tugen, but also let him bring meat and tofu at home if necessary.

Tugen thanked him, put on his straw sandals and ran home.

From afar, I saw that there were scholars resting in their own yards, looking at the poop from afar, and they were busy bringing two buckets of water to the well, cleaning their hands and faces, and wiping them with their clothes, and then they walked home.

"Hello guests, where are the guests from?"

The scholar saw that Tugen was rough and big-footed, his face was honest, his body was tanned, and when he spoke, he showed crooked brown teeth, which contrasted sharply with the white teeth of Quanzi.

got up at the moment and said with a smile: "When I met by chance, I saw that Ling Lang was clever and smart, so I thought about chatting and disturbed." ”

As soon as Tugen heard the praise of his son, he immediately smiled and nodded, "It's very tricky, you forgive me." As soon as he turned around, he reprimanded his son: "Don't go and boil water quickly." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to boil the water, bring two bowls first."

Quan Zi hurriedly went to the stove, brought two large porcelain bowls, the scholar lifted the gourd, poured half a bowl of wine, and handed it to Tugen.

Tugen saw that the wine was as red as blood, fragrant and fragrant, and knew that Lao Gui was expensive, so he just rubbed his two hands under his ribs, and the roots of his neck were red: "When you come to the house, you have to drink the wine of the guests, how can this be done." ”

"Just drink it and take it away."

The scholar's words were unquestionable, and Tugen had no choice but to take it, but he stood still, not knowing what to do.

The scholar poured himself another half bowl, gestured slightly, took a sip of himself, and then smiled: "Brother, sit down and talk." ”

"Ah, yes."

"Brother, how is it this year?"

Tugen first took a sip of the Western Regions wine, and his happy eyes narrowed, "Since the villain can remember, it is not as good as this year's New Year, the price of the three seasons of cocoons is unprecedentedly good, and the rice has also received three or five buckets more. ”

"This snail extermination operation, your village is quite impressive, I see that men, women, and children are all on the field."

"Human life is a matter of heaven, can you not pay attention to it? Over the years, I don't know how many people have had big belly disease, watching living people being sucked and dying in pain, there was no way before, but now there is a way, of course, we must firmly eliminate it. ”

"I heard Quanzi say that your family has lost a lot of money by changing the ditch this time?"

"It can't be called a loss, the mulberry tree is cut down, but the baby has a way out, the county allocated some money and grain, Li is calling everyone to discuss, the money is not divided, and asked the big family to donate some money, and is ready to hire a west seat, and teach the baby in the village."

"Well, this is a good thing, the baby can be literate and have one more ability, and he won't be blind when he walks out the door."

Tugen said happily: "The villain thinks the same way. ”

"How about sir, please?"

"Alas, it's not good to please, now those who can read a few words have gone to Yizhou, since the Jinjiang Academy was set up, reading has been booming, and there are even fathers and sons who go to school together. Originally, the village wanted to invite it last year, but then there was a war, so it was delayed, but I didn't expect it to be difficult to invite again this year, and no one may come to double the bundle. ”

Quanzi came out of the house and brought a bowl of vegetables, but it was capers, tender ginger slices, and pickled garlic, which were placed on a small square stool, and they were immediately sour and fragrant.

The scholar took the chopsticks, put a piece of tender ginger into his mouth, couldn't help frowning, and then smiled: "It's so spicy, it's strong enough." ”

Tugen glared at his son: "Why don't you go and call your mother back, let her come back to cook quickly, the distinguished guest has arrived." ”

Quanzi said "hey" and ran out again.

"You don't need to cook, brother, you are a good baby, sensible. If it's difficult to get into school, it's better to let him follow a certain person, who has just come and lacks a scholar by his side. ”

Tsuchigen was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "I don't know if the guest is ......?"

"A certain surname Wang, a famous book, is an observer of Yizhou."

Tugen was startled, hurriedly put down the bowl, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "The villain greets Shangguan." ”

"Get up, get up and speak."

Tugen lay on the ground instead of getting up, but knocked his head seven or eight times in one breath, and then raised his head, his forehead was blue.

"I don't know the blessings that the baby has cultivated for several lifetimes, and if he can enter the eyes of Shangguan, the villain will knock a few more ...... on behalf of his ancestors."

The king couldn't help him, so he had to accept his worship.

……

Zhao Quan didn't come out, he could still feel a future by touching the snail, and he didn't expect that this scholar was terrifying, and when he went out of the village, he found that there were four guards with knives, majestic.

When he became a scholar, he carried a small burden and followed him in a daze, wandering around, watching digging ditches, burying snails with lime, and watching the gentleman talking to the old peasant.

It was the night to stay in Xiawang Village, he entered the landlord's old rich house for the first time, it turned out that the rich man's food was so fragrant, but the rice bowl was so small, he felt that he would not be full after eating ten bowls, but after filling the fifth bowl, he stopped abruptly.

In case, it's not good to be called a rice bucket.

Fortunately, I didn't eat too much.

Because at night, he saw a scene that he would never forget.

After the snail here was touched, it was used to burn, and in order to eliminate the plague god, the village invited a Taoist priest.

Those Taoist priests, holding peachwood swords in their hands, chanted words in front of the pit full of snails, and then raised their sleeves, borrowed the real fire of Samadhi, and bounced it into the pile of snails that had been poured with spirits earlier, and suddenly the fire was blazing.

The smell of burning......

Several people couldn't hold back and threw up on the ground.

After burning, cover the soil again, bury it in the demon charm, compact, and don't break the ground within three years.

The old Taoist priest said that all the Dharma does not charge money, and the runes are pasted upside down, and the officials have tasks, and all the Taoist priests also have tasks, because Chen Shuxian Master has spoken, and the entire Taoist sect is in action, actively going to the countryside to supervise and help the villagers to eliminate snails and eliminate plague......

Then I turned around for two more days, but I saw the monks again, and there were more monks, some of them helped fill the ditch with a convenient shovel, and some of them held a rattle......

The monks affirmed the saying that the cup of poison was in the snail, and then said solemnly: This is the ignition of the Great Compassion Guanyin, and the dream of saving the common people has come, so the entire Liberation Gate is also in action.

Wasn't that Fahai also ordered to go down the mountain to get rid of demons?

This statement is very popular with the people who worship the Buddha sincerely......

Zhao Quan followed the king, walked all the way to see the way, everywhere he went, in the fields, on the ditches, on the riverbank, there were people killing snails everywhere, adults wielding hoes to carry soil, and the old people and children were each with a basket and a pair of chopsticks, pulling the grass and soil to pick up snails.

He looked at the gentleman who took a sip of wine from time to time, and thought to himself, it turns out that being an official is so comfortable, eating well, dressing well, and playing around.
