4. Visit the elderly

Li Xi left the abandoned dilapidated temple, naturally did not know that after he left, the Song lady was silent for a long time in the Yin Soil Reclamation Land, and then floated on the mud platform where the statue of the god was enshrined.

And the originally slender woman-like Dharma body gradually swelled into a ball of light after the qi luck flowed in, with all the facial features and hair on it, and all the limbs, hands and feet, but it was indescribably hideous and terrifying, and it was completely impossible to see that there was still a human being.

It was only when it swelled beyond the surrounding of the mud platform that it slowed down, and then the "human mass"-like creature began to spin, and the light became more and more abundant, vaguely passing through the Yin and Yang restrictions, from the broken temple god statue to the Yang world. It can be seen that the ordinary clay statue in the ruined temple began to glow faintly.

But at this time, the eternal purple sun in the yin soil ignored the protection of the land opened up by Song Niangzi at this moment, just like when Li Xi entered the yin soil, the black and purple light penetrated from all around, but the number was much more than at that time.

Like a hot knife cut on a cold block of butter, the swollen Yin God Tuan was instantly cut all over the body. There are many parts of the Dharma body that are missing.

From time to time, there were a few terrible cries like cats and crows, which made people shudder like crying blood. There is no time in the yin soil, so I don't know if it has been an hour or half an hour, and the torture of this purple light melting the law body has finally ended.

Only the white light on the mud tires between the broken temples of the Yang World is extremely peaceful, and with this as the source, it turns into dozens of tributaries and flows towards the houses in the village.

This night, the breeze and the moon are bright.

On this night, sixty percent of the people of Baicun saw God in their dreams, it was a glow of auspicious women, very strange, and they still felt true in their dreams.

He said that the Li family is virtuous and talented, and can protect the peace and happiness of this village. If the village chief Zhiwei is obtained, he will ensure that the wind and rain in this village will be smooth within five years, and the wheat grain will be abundant.

He also told the villagers that the trivial matters of each family were extremely accurate.

When they woke up from their dreams, they questioned their husbands and wives and their children, and their neighbors and neighbors, and they were all the same, so they believed it. In places where ordinary people can't see, a small part of the qi in the villagers' life pool is connected with Li Xi's life pool.

This night, Li Xi sat alone until dawn, observing the luck in the life pool, and most of them turned pale.

However, this can be regarded as "self-simulating the number of days to get the people", if Li Ci already has fame at this moment, or power and wealth, and luck is enough, this Yin God helps him condense his luck and collect the position of a village, which is considered to be in line with the number of days, and it is harmless.

can vainly try to gather half the village qi for Li Ci and a small person of Bai Ding out of thin air, which is already quite perverse. The amount of qi that Li Ci has increased has to be made up for in her under the balance, which is definitely worse for her at this moment.

The price paid by the Yin God is not insignificant.

However, the Song lady is already rootless water, and she can't last long to sit and eat the mountain, and if she can't get a township position, expand the development land, and then survive it will only be a three-foot land as a prison, and it is really better to live than to die.

So he was willing to gamble with such a big effort.

Early the next morning, Li Ci scrubbed with water, and still had a tender upper body, and the lines and muscles were very harmonious and healthy.

After waking up and thinking about what to do today, I first needed to run through several houses, including the old village chief and the old lady's house.

You still have to prepare what you need to enter the mountain in a few days.

And there is also a small amount of time to ask the wise man and Confucian in the county from the old lady in the village which can be a temporary teacher, and he has also reached the age of entering school, although he has read dozens of highly professional tomes in the north of the Qing Dynasty, but Confucian classics, in the end, he still studied from these ancient Confucian students.

What's more, when you gather power, you always need to find a name for a scholar, which is also a kind of righteous name similar to "righteousness", if you can take the next Maocai exam earlier, although the world is now of little significance in the official career, it is more convenient when you cage people, after all, class and circle are very important at all times.

Although he calculated carefully, his subordinates did not stop, and they had already neatly peeled off a rabbit and washed it in the cold well water.

After thinking about it, he cut the best piece of meat from the half of the roe deer that Zhang Niu promised himself. Take the freshly rolled straw rope and put it on and hang it aside.

Carry the meat out and walk on the village road, the village is very small, about a bag of cigarettes, can go back and forth three or four times. Therefore, the relationship in the village is not to say how friendly it is, at least it is familiar, and they are all familiar with each other, and Li Ci walked on the road, but there were many people who greeted him with a strange look of some restraint. is the most chaotic dog leftover, after dreaming of the gods last night, and finding the lost more than a dozen pennies under the guidance, he has to be in awe of this Li family boy.

On weekdays, an old farmer who is not in a good temper, because this morning according to the guidance of the gods, found that some crops are wilted, you must know that although it is autumn, rush to plant this new crop, although there is not much harvest, but it is also a bite of food.

So he stiffly squeezed out a three-point smile and greeted: "Where is the Li family?" ”

Li Xi guessed that eighty percent of it was related to the Yin God, and the growth of his luck also came from this. I also felt a little irritated when I greeted him all the way.

The people around you are all polite to you, and when you do things, even if you have a little more effort, dozens or hundreds of people have accumulated, naturally you will have a lot more harvest than others, so that you have more money and more power......

Naturally, he has become the so-called superior who surpasses others, and luck is never an ethereal metaphor, but about such a shallow and cheesy thing.

Most of the fields in the village are close to the water and can afford to raise paddy fields, but few people are willing to take care of these things, and they all grow something in the dry land that does not taste good, but the yield is higher. But just to get enough to eat, he first went to the village chief's house, and his children were not surprised by Li Xi's visit, after all, since the old village chief was sick, this child was used to caring and always came to visit. However, looking at the old father's skinny appearance, he felt sad in his heart, so he didn't have the heart to greet Li Ci politely, just thanked him

Li Xi saw that the village chief's already shallow sickness was getting darker and thicker, and even a small part of the pure white qi in the life pool was diffused and wrapped, and it was precarious, obviously it was further deteriorating, and it couldn't last for a month, so he said something like taking care, and left the meat and left.

Coming out of the village chief's house, he turned towards the nearby old lady's house, and walked down a road that was not long or short, and he couldn't see a bit of modern garbage, Li Ci was really surprised at the beginning.

This era does reflect the poor and barren backwardness of productive forces everywhere, but it lacks the craftsmanship of later generations of industrial carving, but it also makes many people worry about their stomachs, and Li Ci feels that he is not qualified to judge anything.

However, the most basic law of eating small, stepping on high and low, survival of the fittest, is still eternal, and if you step on the opponent's tired corpse bones under your feet, you are naturally the one who is most qualified to laugh at a high place.

Seeing that the quiet hut of the old lady in the village was nearby, Li Xi deliberately slowed down and tidied up.

Of course, it was not because of respect for the eighty-eight-year-old man in the village, but only because of the discomfort of approaching the hut.

The old man named Meng Xiu in this house, he stayed in this village more than forty years ago, he had read, but he didn't have the talent to test his fame, but he lived a long time, a few years ago, the imperial court collected eighty people to report, Meng Xiu got a copper half-seal, although in addition to receiving some food every month, there is only a formal so-called status symbol, but in this remote village, it is already a character who the village chief has to respectfully call the old lady.

The faint sense of oppression around the room was not only felt by Li Ci.

Even the most naughty children in the village, and there are few people who come to play near this house, Li Ci naturally knows that this is the aura of the so-called superior, or the might, after all, even in the previous life, in some government compounds, the common people were subconsciously reluctant to step forward.

This made Li Xi smile bitterly, in his previous life, he was also a person who gave a speech as a student representative in the auditorium of Qingbei University, and several old people in the school who can be called national treasures also talked about a few words occasionally, even the strictest old professor in the department was happy to see him.

If you get the top spot in the provincial college entrance examination, you are a higher level of light red than ordinary college students who have transformed from gray to pale white or pure white luck

So how can Li Ci, who has worked hard in the school and affiliated institutions for two years, also have an elite rookie with pure red luck.

And inexplicably traversing a scene, at this moment, I actually feel oppressed because of a house filled with white gas because of an old man, it is really a hero who is not free.

However, these slight bitterness, come inexplicably, and go quickly, Li Xi's adjustment of mentality has always been perverted, otherwise he would not sell noodles on the street and be despised by white eyes.

Pushing open the door, in a small yard not much bigger than his own, there was a bit of messy stacking of debris, and a sparse white-haired old man who was so old that he could describe it as a wind candle in his old age was staggering in the courtyard, perhaps breathing.

Even if his ears are not smart, when the door opened, he still raised his cloudy eyes to look over, and then showed a kind look at Li Ci who entered the door, his teeth were still good, but his tongue was a little stiff, and he greeted vaguely: "Why are you here today......

Li Ci pushed the door directly and entered, his steps were slight, but this was already very rude, that is, in a small place like Baicun, there was not so much attention, if it was changed to a big clan in the township or county, he would have to be scolded by the porter a few times.

A widowed old man, even in this small village because of literacy and hyphenation, received the banquet copper seal reward and the villagers seem to be a little awe-inspiring, in the end there is no momentum and temper at all, but he likes to say a few words to the village children, but because he is much stronger than the average villager's luck, and in this era of rare age, coupled with the ugly face of the old queen, all make the village children a little afraid to avoid.

Li Ci was naturally not affected by these, and originally planned to get acquainted with this old man with a transcendent status in the village, but the decaying appearance of this old man always reminded Li Ci of Xie Jiusan's rotten and decayed skin that night, and then evoked the memories of the blood being squeezed dry all over his body, so although he was willing to visit him occasionally, he resisted in his heart after all, and he was not too close.

And this old man surnamed Meng is also cold-hearted, but after all, when he is old, he is willing to give a kinder attitude to this child who is willing to come and say a few words to him from time to time. Li Ci naturally knew it in his heart, so he didn't say much greetings, but walked straight to the kitchen with the rabbit and roe deer meat he brought, and put the prepared dishes on the table after a while. I also deliberately boiled a bowl of hot soup.

The old lady was not polite, and under the help of Li Ci, he entered the room and sat on the side to eat and drink, obviously quite accustomed to it, this is what Li Ci has cultivated for him for more than a year, just like when he was nine years old, he obediently went to the nearby Sun family farmers to volunteer to help, from the polite and pity of the people to give this Li family orphan a little food, to today it is completely unfamiliar with outsiders to leave him to eat.

And Widow Zhou has been willing to accept his half-sold half-given rabbit meat, Orion Zhang Niuken took the initiative to teach him to play a set, and Daddy Feng, who has the hottest temper and doesn't have a good face when he sees people, actually happily put Li Ci and his daughter together...

The daughter-in-law of the Wu family always complains about why Li Ci is not her own child...

Li Ci, such a nimble child with quick hands and feet, a sweet and intelligent mouth, and a handsome appearance, has already made most of the village get used to and like his existence in just over a year.

The old lady who only visited occasionally, after eating enough of the meat sent by Li Ci, said half-truthfully that you were born in the wrong place, otherwise how can you get famous after studying......

A child who was just eleven years old a few days ago, unconsciously lived in this village much more comfortable than most people, if Li Ci was willing, he could not freeze or starve, and in a few years, he would marry the most beautiful girl in the village of the Zhou family's father and give birth to a doll, which would be considered a happy life.

Thinking of this, Li Ci smiled dumbly, and sure enough, the four words were imperceptibly terrible to themselves and others, and it was only more than a year later, and he actually gave birth to a little bit of a peaceful life, and his heart sank, thinking of the sad and emotional situation of Uncle Liu Huang, who was still wandering around in the township market, and Li Ci secretly took it as a warning.

Said innocently to the old lady opposite: "The kid feels that he has reached his age in a few days, and he thinks that he can read and hyphenate like the old lady, old lady, do you know which gentleman in the county can teach people the best to learn the book of sages?"

The old man who was eating meat raised his eyelids and said a little dissatisfied: "How can you kid learn those foolish babies in the village to think about these things that don't matter, is it possible that you still think about what kind of fame you can read?" Or did you hear that forty or fifty people in the village had dreamed of a man of God in a dream last night and praised you, so they also became pretentious? What kind of immortal, why didn't it come to Lao Er's dream? ”

When Li Xi heard this, she couldn't help but be speechless, with the current situation of the Song lady, if she was close to a pale person like the old lady, there would still be some trouble, so she was naturally not willing to spend this effort, so she didn't defend herself, but just showed a harmless innocent smiling face and said:

"Only when you have a chance to be honored, you can only honor the old lady, otherwise you can only bring these things that are not on the table, and you can't even afford the cheapest soju."

Old Lady Meng glared at Li Ci not too harshly, and said

"Don't talk to Lao Er about these words, don't you think I'm fooling around with you like those reckless and stupid women in the village......"

Li Ci said with a sincere face: "How can you, old lady, you are the most capable I have ever seen......"

The old man sitting opposite him smiled and said:

"I know it's a lie, but it's comfortable to listen to...... You are different from those men who have spent their lives for a few acres of land...... I've thought about it for you in my spare time......

But this way of studying is really not the way for the children of the poor to go, and I was too naΓ―ve back then, so I fell into the miserable situation of dying now......

Among them, the bitterness and ups and downs are not to mention...... If you really want to climb up the future, it is better to learn to be a businessman who makes money at a low level and a real money at a high cost......

I have a lot of affection with one or two rich families in the township, if you are willing, my dying old man will help you, even if it is to repay your love for more than a year......"

Li Xi listened to Mrs. Meng's words, and was quite emotional and heart-warming for a while, although he was originally dealing with this old man with a very utilitarian purpose, he didn't want the other party to bother with his plans before he opened his mouth to ask for it......

And now that the words have been said here, Li Ci doesn't want to be hypocritical, "If you want to inquire about the famous Confucians in the county, it is still the second and most important thing to read the sages in the future, but I want to ask you, who do you think the village chief should be after the old village chief goes?" ”

It's not hard to see that...... 80% out of 10...... It should be the Wang family...... Well? ”

The old lady suddenly raised her head, glared and asked, "Do you want to be the village chief?" ”

After looking at Li Ci, a milky child, nodding seriously, Rao felt very ridiculous with the heart of Old Lady Meng for more than eighty years

An eleven-year-old baby actually wants to be the village head of more than 100 people in Baicun?

If he hadn't known that this kid had always been cautious and calm, the old lady would have thought that those uninformed bastards were talking crazy......

After a long pause, the old man slowly asked, "Do you think this is feasible?" ”

After deliberation, Li Xi replied:

"Originally, even if you were willing to help me, old lady, plus the little affection I had accumulated with the people in the village for more than a year, I had to say that I was three or four percent sure, and I still respected you for TOEFL...... But now there is still some time after the old village chief goes, and I will arrange it, to say the least, there are seventy or eighty percent...... Don't you know why Chen Shi gathered people during the uprising? ”

Old lady Meng stared at the child with a sincere smile in front of him for a while, thought about his actions in the past year since he was lonely, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to say, but sighed faintly: "You should really be a pity that you didn't invest in a good family's ......."

As soon as the words fell, Li Ci felt that the life pool had changed, and he was quite happy at a glance, most of the life pool luck was half white, and the small and half gray life pool luck, and in an instant, nearly two percent were transformed into light white, and there were seven percent, which naturally came from the old lady Meng, at this moment, even if Li Ci was compared to the old man of the Wang family with seven strong sons, it was not bad in terms of luck, but he was really young, and it was inevitable that he would not accept the public.

Mrs. Meng came to settle here in her thirties, respected for decades, watching many people in the village grow up to have children and even hold grandchildren, there is really no one who does not respect three points, if not, only by virtue of the government's a small end to no longer be a small [Shou Lao] false seal, it is categorically impossible to let the old man's life pond full of shallow white luck flow......

Li Ci was naturally grateful, but he didn't have any pretentious words. However, the old man mentioned that he should go to the old village chief's house to walk around more, Li Ci only said that he had been there a few times, and the old lady Meng did not say much, but only chatted for a while, until he heard that Li Ciming was going to go into the mountains to hunt the day after tomorrow, and the old man was quite interested

"If you want to say that this mountain, it's amazing, I heard the old guy who has gone back then, there were rumors when I was as old as you, there were big animals in it, and I heard that many hunters who entered the mountain were bitten to death, and the Qiang man in the township also sent soldiers into the mountain to catch and kill, but there was no result, but since I searched in the mountain, there were always dead people in the nearby villages......... They are all cut off by the waist and bloody, and the paw prints left on heavy snowy days are as big as the mouth of a bowl...... Like a tiger and leopard, it is impossible to be so reckless......

It was a real panic

Plus there are few poor people walking in this deserted place... Therefore, the pavilion originally set up here was abandoned...... It's wicked to listen ......"

The old lady naturally only told Li Ci about the strange news at that time, and even if Li Ci naturally thought that the animal had become a thing of the climate, he would not pay full attention to it, and he accompanied the old man to talk about some of the past, and he was about to leave......

Old lady Meng stopped Li Ci and took out a few pale yellow paper-colored books from under the mat:

"This is what I read back then, knowing that you are literate, so I don't need to teach you, I wanted to keep a thought, but since you have the meaning of reading, you will not be hurt by this world, and obviously you can't learn well.

Then take it and read it, and wait until you cry when you are bitter...... Naturally, I know that what I say is true......"

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, and then took the yellowed books from the old lady's dry hand with warm eyes, but never said a word of thanks.

Old Lady Meng looked at the young but clear back with drowsy eyes and confused eyes, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear:

"If you do have a child or higher in a few years, don't forget to tell me about it at the grave......"
