As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, the households in the manors outside the city of Sijiu who were carrying long jobs were almost all busy with their hands and feet.

The ground that had been frozen for a winter had to be turned deeply, and the piggybackers had to sprinkle the manure piles that had been soaked in the fields into the fields evenly. The seeds that have been dried for two days in the sunny weather have to be carefully sifted with alkaline soil at this time, so as to ensure that the seeds are less attacked by pests and diseases after they emerge. After a winter, the ditches that are more than irrigated have some collapsed edges and damaged edges, which must be repaired before pouring water into the ground, which can really keep the villagers in the courtyards busy without touching the ground!

But there are always some exceptions to everything, and in some villages that do not occupy much land and are located in remote locations, they are still deserted. In addition to not seeing any peasants carrying long jobs to plough the fields, even the gate is closed all day long, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like a bleak appearance of cold fire and autumn smoke. Occasionally, some outsiders who went out to work part-time while the spring ploughing was busy looking for them and knocking on the door, but no one in the gate agreed, or they all had to wait for a long time before someone loved to ignore the shouting - the master raises the land (Note 1), look for work elsewhere!

Listening to such shouts, the men who worked part-time could only glance at the deserted fertile fields near the left side of the village with regret, shook their heads and sighed and slowly walked towards another village

Through the closed gate of the village, Bi Desheng once again blasted away a few outsiders looking for short-term jobs with a loud voice, and then poured the last bit of Lao Baigan into his mouth, and then hummed a meat song in a low voice and leaned on the chaise longue covered with thick cotton mattresses, and burped loudly.

Five years ago, Bi Desheng was just a rural gangster who went from the countryside of Baoding to Sijiu City to seek a way to live. If it weren't for the fact that he owed too many gambling debts and couldn't repay them, and the creditor held the ghost knife to block the door and shouted, and if he couldn't see the money, he would have to see blood, so he relied on the rabbit-like courage of Bi Desheng. I'm afraid that I won't dare to leave the village in the countryside of Baoding for eight lifetimes?

It was also time for Bi Desheng to take the shit luck, and only a few days after entering Sijiu City, when he was disgusted by his relatives who were not well-off, Bi Desheng, who was idle and ran into the streets, accidentally bumped into a thin man who covered his face with a felt hat and was aiming his little masturbation at Duan Ye who was ready to shoot a black gun!

unintentionally saved Duan Ye's life, coupled with the blessing of his soul, Bi Desheng said that he didn't want Duan Ye to throw over the dozen or so oceans casually, but he begged for a broken identity by Duan Ye's side with a dead face. On weekdays, when I follow Duan Ye to shake his majesty and make scenes, he always looks backwards, but when he encounters the opportunity to serve people in private and be courteous, he is eager to move forward. On the street, there were some green-skinned gangsters with broken mouths, and they saw Bi Desheng's strength to stammer Duan Ye. In private, they all poked Bi Desheng's backbone and muttered, saying that Bi Desheng was afraid that Bi Desheng was a bird that Duan Ye had taken in his side, and what he was selling was a biased ability to serve the flowers in the backyard of the private house?

He has been serving Duan Ye for two years, and he has never received an important task from Duan Ye, but he suddenly called Duan Ye to come in handy - he transported the entire five hundred and two taels of tobacco for Duan Ye to a manor outside the city of Sijiu, and then carefully guarded the five hundred and two taels of tobacco soil, and he was not allowed to leave an inch!

Suddenly, he got such an important messenger, and Bi Desheng, who had never given birth to a rat guts, rushed to the courtyard outside the city with the five hundred taels of tobacco and rushed to the courtyard outside the city, and guarded the five hundred and two taels of tobacco for half a month. waited for Duan Ye to personally go to the courtyard outside the city and open the courtyard gate. What I saw was Bi Desheng, who was already so hungry that his eyes were blue, trembling, holding a small handful, and the five hundred taels of tobacco were firmly placed under his buttocks, guarding the house!

-- There was no shortage of water in the courtyard, but there were no people living in it on weekdays, and there was never much food prepared. In the courtyard of Nuo Da Village, there are dozens of old bud rice sticks hanging under the eaves inside and out, which has already made Bi Desheng gnaw. If Duan Ye came two days late, I am afraid that Bi Desheng will starve to death in this courtyard?

Looking at Bi Desheng's embarrassed appearance that was so hungry that his eyes were blue but he didn't dare to move a step, Duan Ye was happy. Raising his feet, he kicked the big smoke that Bi Desheng had guarded for half a month and scattered it in all directions, so that Bi Desheng, who watched the slag and stones flying out of the big smoke, had a full meal. Since then, Bi Desheng has never been asked to leave this village for a single step. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, someone specially bought things for eating and drinking and sent them to the gate of the village. Every Qingming, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chinese New Year's Eve, someone throws no more than a bag of ocean into the yard through the wall.

Although he had just arrived in Sijiu City and been fighting for two years, Bi Desheng had also heard that the name of Duan Ye's arrangement was called 'Zhaikou', also known as 'Kiln Head'. Privately, I prepared some money, food, straw, and household goods in this kiln, and prepared that when there was a wind and waves that could not be carried over, there would be a regression to escape and escape.

According to the rules of people from all walks of life in Sijiu City to settle the kiln head, the people who guard the kiln head are usually changed every three or five years, because they are afraid that the kiln head will be long and people will find out. Second, it is also to guard against the people who guard the kiln head for a long time, and they have been thinking about it for many years. But no matter whether the character guarding the kiln head is changed every three years or every five years, when leaving the kiln, the master has to give the character who guards the kiln head some benefits!

Just like this, there is food and drink, and every other day can also find an opportunity to go to the village near the left side of the village to spend money to find a broken shoe to sleep on, and wait for three or five years of hard work, there is still a sum of silver in hand, such a day is just right Bi Desheng's lazy but timid temperament.

Although a while ago, when Duan Ye personally led people to send some things packed in boxes into the secret cellar in the courtyard, the posture like a great enemy really made Bi Desheng afraid for a few nights, but after a Chinese New Year's Eve, Bi Desheng, who drank a little wine with pig's head meat when he saw the sky, had already forgotten that fear - seeing that these had survived three years peacefully, where could so many strange and strange things under the sky come out of themselves?!

Seeing that the sun was gradually turning westward, Bi Desheng lazily stretched his waist on the chaise longue with a thick cotton mattress, and then slowly sat up straight from the recliner, pinching the few pieces of ocean in his waist, squinting his eyes and wondering whether he should take advantage of the bright sky to walk more than ten miles. Looking for that familiar broken shoe to sleep in the village next to Shangzhuang Courtyard?

Before Bi Desheng could turn around the idea of opening foreign meat, the wall of the Zhuangyuan, which was not tall, suddenly revealed a human head with a buttoned hat!

Startled, Bi Desheng jumped up from the recliner suddenly, stretched out his arm and pointed at the human head exposed on the courtyard wall, and shouted: "Hey, you dare to climb over the wall and hit the kiln mouth for most of the day, don't you?" Is it really when no one is watching in the courtyard of the farmhouse with the door closed? Get out of here, or I'll be able to sift the gong and shout."

Mouthful, shouting. Bi Desheng also stretched out his hands towards the gongs and gongs resting next to the recliners!

With the sound of whistling wind, a swarthy iron spear head rushed to the jujube mallet before Bi Desheng's finger touched the gong mallet, and nailed it to the jujube wood gong hammer as thick as a child's arm. With Bi Desheng gasping for air, more than a dozen heads wearing cheeky hats emerged one after another from the wall of the village.

A lazy donkey turned over, and a stocky man who was the first to show his head on the courtyard wall climbed over the wall, jumped to the hard three-fold ground in the courtyard like a rammer, and shouted to Bi Desheng, who was leaning crookedly and stiffening next to the recliner: "If you want to die, try it?!" ”

Taking advantage of Bi Desheng's stunned effort, the figures who had emerged from the courtyard wall of the Zhuangyuan also jumped over the courtyard wall one after another, almost carrying an iron spear only three feet long or a ghost-headed broadsword in their hands. Without saying a word, he rushed straight to all the houses in the courtyard. After a short time, a few of them had already returned to the sturdy man who had jumped over the courtyard wall first, and whispered one after another in a suppressed voice: "Empty! ”

"No one!"

"Dumb kiln!"

Nodding slightly, the stocky man who was the first to jump over the courtyard wall tore off the cheeky hat that was buttoned on his head, strode to Bi Desheng, who had been held up by two iron guns, and looked at Bi Desheng with a pair of eyes that were red with dust, and shouted in a low voice: "Where is the object that the patrol police station surnamed Duan touched?!" ”

He shook his head subconsciously. Before Bi Desheng could speak, there was already a stinging sensation on both sides of the soft underbelly when the iron spear head pierced the flesh!

Stretched out his hand and slapped Bi Desheng in the face who was about to open his mouth to exhale pain. The stocky man suppressed his voice and shouted at Bi Desheng: "But I figured it out! You are just a broken person with the surname Duan looking for the kiln head, and you can't take your life to replace the top thunder of the surname Duan! I'll ask again, can you figure it out and then answer - where is the object that the surname Duan touched was hidden?! ”

With a sad face, Bi Desheng didn't even dare to think about the slightest struggle, but his mouth still involuntarily muttered the prevarication words that had turned in his head countless times: "Gentlemen." Are you looking for the wrong thing?"

With a frown, the stocky man standing in front of Bi Desheng's eyes waved his hand violently. Before Bi Desheng could understand what was going on, the hands that reached out from Bi Desheng were already grasping a ball of rags and blocked Bi Desheng's mouth without saying anything. Almost at the same moment, a swarthy iron spear head. Plunged into the surface of Bi Sheng's foot, and nailed Bi Sheng's left foot to the ground!

He was so pained that he straightened his neck and howled, but his mouth was blocked with rags and could only make some muffled movements. The two arms also made people grab a porcelain, even if they wanted to struggle, they couldn't move at all.

Coldly looked at Bi Desheng, who was in tears of pain and trembling all over his body, and struggled for a while, and then the stocky man shouted coldly at Bi Desheng: "Toast without eating and drinking, this taste is not comfortable, right?" Ma Yoer replied, you can also suffer a little less living sin! ”

didn't wait for the strong man wearing a cheeky hat behind Bi Desheng to tear off the rags stuffed in Bi Desheng's mouth and hit the wall of the courtyard, but a loud shout suddenly sounded: "Yo, this is the evil wind blowing today?" Is it possible to send all the characters with iron guns and handklocks outside the mouth to Sijiu City to make a fortune? What's wrong? On the rivers and lakes, the road is backed by mountains and mountains, and the rules of the road leading to the sky and each occupying one side, you men with iron guns and handmaidens are not in your eyes at all, right? ”

Accompanied by the shouting of the menacing voice, more than a dozen people who were also wearing cheeky hats, but all of them were holding short guns and hard fire, and they were all dressed like swordsmen in the city, and they quickly jumped from the wall into the courtyard (to be continued......
