The days always feel like they go by quickly, and within a few days of Laba, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFor the officials of the Great Tang, the next seven days from Chinese New Year's Eve is a rare holiday, during this time the entire Great Tang will be deposited in the joy of removing the old and welcoming the new, except for a few people who are on duty, others will enjoy a good family fun.

However, this benefit is obviously divided among people.

Li Chang, as a lieutenant general of the Zuo Shenwu Army, could not leave his post without permission during this period. It is also that his officials are slightly younger, and those older than him have to attend the palace banquet, and those younger than him have to go home to visit relatives, so it is very embarrassing to count this. But there is no way, it's just a matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king.

Nanshan Village can be regarded as the last sword battle of the Tang Dynasty years ago, which came and went quickly, and it was solved in just one day. The dead were buried on the spot, and the living were to be escorted to the capital and sent to the capital. It seems that the outcome of this kind of rebellion has already been decided when it is discovered, and the so-called trial is just a formality. A record was recorded, signed and detained, and there was no use of torture or torture, and the person was put in a prison and waited to be beheaded after the turn of the year. The new emperor ascended the throne with a general amnesty, but it was clear that the crime of rebellion was not within the scope of the amnesty.

Wei Xuan guessed right, what happened in Nanshan Village did not attract the attention of others. More than 20 rebels captured by Li Chang, including Zhou Bufu, were rewarded by others, and the world only knew that there was a group of rebels who did not know the height of the sky in Nanshan Village, and they were ruthlessly cleaned up by the heroic soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. As for where Nanshan Village is, and how much damage has it had?

Who knows?

The surviving villagers stayed in Guanzhong for three days, waiting for the seriously injured to stabilize a little before going down the mountain to investigate the condition of the village. As expected, miserable. Eighty percent of the houses in the village were destroyed, and Zhou Bufu and others set a fire to fight to the death, but they didn't run away, and they almost finished playing with the surviving innocent villagers. The only thing to be thankful for is that Li Chang still has a little conscience, and buried the corpses of the villagers who died in vain in the village, and some of the broken walls that I really can't stand to look at have also been cleaned up.

Of course, that's just an atonement that is better than nothing. At least in Wei Xuan's opinion.

Wei Xuan's hut on the mountain was spared because it was a little far away from the village, but this was not the case with others. Fortunately, there are not many people left, and it is just enough to divide the houses that are still kept in the village, plus the money and grain allocated by the county, it can barely celebrate the New Year.

The houses that can be preserved are all on the outskirts of the village, scattered in the east and west. There is no way, the houses in the center of the village are almost not intact, and the beams are burned out must be inhabitable. However, after all, it is better for people to live closer, especially for these surviving villagers.

And so the activity began. The seriously injured are still on the mountain, and those who come down the mountain can more or less do some work, not to mention that there are many who are not injured. The young and strong ones will be responsible for manual tasks such as cleaning up the wreckage and rebuilding the house, and those who have a little injury but can move will be responsible for some light bricklayer work. The women and children were not idle, and it was still very easy to collect firewood and boil water for cooking. After all, when it comes to their future home, they are very serious.

Working together to achieve real efficiency, the remaining eight or nine families were built three days before Chinese New Year's Eve. It's a little simpler, but it's still much better than the previous home. There are only so many people left in the village now, if it weren't for the fear that the house would be built if it were not for the fear of violating the system, but even then it would be much bigger than before. Wei Xuan didn't know anything else, the old couple of the Wu family could fit more than three rooms in the previous house, and others were afraid of the same.

Xuan Kui still returned to the Taoist temple, and Wei Xuan did not force him to stay. The old Taoist priest has not returned from his wandering, and the villagers have also returned to the village, and no one can take care of them. What's more, Wei Xuan knows Xuan Kui's temperament, that is, a person who respects his teacher and respects his way and is extremely simple, compared to the complex life in the red dust, the simplicity in the mountains and forests is more suitable for him.

Uncle Wu has become Lizheng, which means that the village system in Nanshan Village has not been banned, which is undoubtedly good news. As long as it is not banned, there will always be a comeback, and this is not a difficult thing for Wei Xuan. Nanshan Village has suffered an unwarranted disaster this time, and the county will inevitably take more care of it. It's something that can't be said in the first place, so naturally we have to use methods that can't be said. The seeds of spring ploughing in the coming year, the grain for the winter and the New Year's goods were all prepared, and they were quietly pulled over, and then quietly left, followed by Uncle Wu's Li Zheng appointment and dismissal.

At first, Uncle Wu was still a little worried about these materials, but under Wei Xuan's persuasion, he still accepted them happily, and he was obviously more comfortable than in previous years, at least in previous years, not every household could have two chickens and a sheep, and even a ploughing cow. Compared with other villages in the county, I don't know how much richer Nanshan Village is.

Although it has experienced a catastrophe, there is no gloomy and bleak scene in Nanshan Village, and every family is smiling. Wei Xuan knows very well that for ordinary people, it is good to be alive, and it is a great joy to be able to live well, as for the others, who will care? There is nothing in the world, but mediocre people disturb themselves.

Wei Xuan felt that he was becoming more and more like a mediocre person, and even after such a long time, he still did not come out of the tragedy in Nanshan Village. He also knows very well that he has drilled the horns of the bull, but in a way, isn't this a dead end that must be entered?

The people in the village take care of Wei Xuan as always, for them, the Zhou family's affairs are their own crimes, and they have nothing to do with them, so their attitude towards Wei Xuan, a little gentleman who can teach his children to read and write, is still the same as before, and has not changed. It's just that there is no need to send the child to Wei Xuan to study in a short period of time, first, the next year is approaching, and secondly, Wei Xuan is not in the mood to continue teaching for the time being.

Since returning to the village, Wei Xuan has always woken up in his sleep every night, and under the premise that he can see the bloody scene of the tragic death of the villagers as soon as he closes his eyes, who can sleep peacefully? Uncle Wu said that he had fallen into an evil spirit, and specially invited Xuan Kui, who was nested in the mountains, to come down and take a look, but the result was naturally useless. Wei Xuan knew very well that this was a heart disease, and there was no other way than to figure it out by himself. Xuan Kui also knew this, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, just dropped a volume of "Tao Te Ching" and left.

In Xuan Kui's view, Wei Xuan's situation is not enough pure Taoism, so he will be disturbed by the demons in his heart, and only by meditating and chanting to calm his mind can he be liberated. The idea is very "mysterious", but it works. Although Wei Xuan still has nightmares at night, he won't wake up.

This is undoubtedly a step forward.
