Chapter 8: The Nightmare
To the north are four large houses, which are supposed to be the dwellings of the wooden servants, all of which open to the south. In the middle of these four rooms, there is also a courtyard with several entrances. It's just that these four big houses, how many people have to live? Liang Yuxi only knew that there were only forty or fifty people in this forest farm. Now there are four big houses, and hundreds of people can live in them.
The house in the middle is slightly smaller, and there is a plaque on it, and the book has several big characters "Shan Mishan Forest Farm".
Liang Yuxi was a little surprised, when did this forest farm become a forest farm in Shanmishan? There has never been any plaque on this forest farm in the past, and it is not right now. There is no such business title under the door of Donglu Mansion? What does Yamamiyama mean? The forest farm took a business name without authorization, what happened to this?
After stepping into the door, it was originally a small courtyard with two entrances, and the middle of the hall was for Tianzun, and there were two side rooms on both sides, one of which had the words "account room" written on it. It seems that this front yard should be the place of the forest farm director, and the back may be the residence of the shopkeeper Xiao. It's more magnificently than when I came to see it before.
Shopkeeper Xiao entered the hall and sat at the top, and Liang Yuxi didn't signal when he saw him, so he sat down at the bottom when he thought about it.
A little boy brought the tea up, and the shopkeeper Xiao signaled to look at the tea.
As soon as Xiao Xiaoshen opened his mouth, he said: "This Donglu master is also confused, this forest farm was originally a mountain and wilderness hardship, similar to the prison city military camp, sending Liang Gongzi here, it is inevitable to suffer some hardships." ”
Liang Yuxi was called a son for the first time, and his heart was still very unnatural, and he was very disrespectful to the master in his words, so he replied: "If you are a subordinate, let the master send it, then you can make your own decisions." Shopkeeper Xiao doesn't dislike me, and he will take care of it more in the future. When I first arrived, if there was something wrong, I would definitely give me advice. ”
"Haha, too modest! I also know Liang Gongzi...... Oh, the second shopkeeper, often walking beside the old man of Donglu, since the old man has mentioned the face, the operation of this forest farm should be hands-on. It's just that the environment of this forest farm is harsh, the life is hard, the wood and guests are mixed, and it is not easy to control, so you have to have some bottom. ”
"Shopkeeper Xiao, according to the master's instructions, I came this time just to ask you for more knowledge, and I will not interfere in specific affairs, if it is in the way of the big shopkeeper, you can remind more."
"It's easy to talk and say, you can listen to everything more, and when the affairs are complicated, you can also listen to the dispatches, and you have to have some experience."
"When I came, I didn't see anyone in this forest farm, and I didn't know ...... this was."
"Oh, the second shopkeeper's knowledge is poor, this forest farm logging also looks at some seasons and should be taboo, today is not suitable to enter the mountain, the wood guests are only resting, resting, and nourishing the spirit."
"Oh, that's it."
Liang Yuxi looked at the smiling face of the shopkeeper Xiao, although there were questions and answers, it still made people a little unsure. I also had a few questions in my heart and wanted to ask for some details, but the reality was not easy to speak, so I only bowed my head and ate tea to think.
"I see that the second shopkeeper has come all the way, and he is also a little tired, you should rest first, and we will talk again tomorrow." Xiao Xiaoshen said.
beckoned the man Liang Yuxi had seen at the door to come in and introduce him. Liang Yuxi learned that this man was the supervisor of the forest farm, and his name was Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng reluctantly gave a salute, and led Liang Yuxi to find a place to live.
Liang Yuxi originally saw that there were still some wings in this courtyard, not to mention living in the backyard with the big shopkeeper, and this wing room should be cleaned up for himself. But Xiao Xiaoshen did not make this arrangement, and seemed to have made some preparations, so Wu Sheng led Liang Yuxi out of the small courtyard.
Then Wu Sheng led Liang Yuxi straight to the door of the room at the east end and said: "Second shopkeeper, this is your residence, it has been cleaned up, I will lead your donkey into the field, you are at your own convenience." ”
Liang Yuxi thought, this huge room is for himself to live alone? I lifted the curtain and entered, the light was dim for a while, and I didn't see anything clearly, and only after my eyes got used to it, I could see the situation in the house clearly.
In this huge room, against the wall a row of large bunks, more than 20 people are sleeping. And beside the doorway of this entrance, a bed was made of wooden planks, and some grass and a broken straw mat were laid out, which was regarded as a place for him to live.
Liang Yuxi didn't think about it, he came here to have a good face, but he still didn't expect such a place to live.
There were a few oil lamps hanging in the house, and it was very dim. The house was filled with the smell of sweat and feet, which could not be compared with the average cattle and horse shop.
Liang Yuxi knew that this was also the disadvantage that the shopkeeper Xiao gave him, but he just wanted to make himself suffer.
He also thought that if he came, he would be safe, he was a subordinate before, and he didn't come to enjoy any leisure. Thinking about it, my heart was also much more relaxed, so I picked up the bed indiscriminately, and lay down to rest first.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was noisy.
Liang Yuxi saw that the people who woke up in the chase shop, and the people who walked on the ground were all wooden guests, and they all looked at him with strange eyes. Come to think of it, I don't really understand what kind of person this ordinary person is.
Liang Yuxi knew that although these were rough people, he had to talk about etiquette when he first arrived, so he turned over and got out of bed, and arched his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Liang Yuxi, came to the forest farm this time to serve the old man of Donglu, and be a second shopkeeper under the big shopkeeper, and I have something to do!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, everyone fell silent.
Liang Yuxi was at a loss for some reason, when a person suddenly said loudly: "I thought this white-faced boy was a bird, it was originally sent by Donglu Mansion for everyone's pastime." The crowd burst into laughter.
"Look at his pretty appearance, if he has the good of Longyang, he can just play a trick." Another burst of laughter.
Liang Yuxi never expected that these rough men in the mountains and wilderness not only did not give themselves a little respect, but also humiliated them repeatedly, and they didn't take themselves in their eyes at all.
While secretly complaining in his heart, he looked at these wooden guests carefully. I saw one by one with cold eyebrows and squinted eyes, with many sneers on their faces, and a few of them also tattooed gold seals on their faces. He was dressed in dirty sackcloth and torn jackets, and his demeanor was rude. There are those who pick their feet, those who scratch the itch, and they are similar to the bad luck of this room. All of them are like the strong men of the green forest, and they are good people.
Although Liang Yuxi is from a subordinate background, this is the first time he has encountered a character who is full of prisoners and strongmen, not to mention that he wants to eat and live with these people.
He also pondered, it seems that the shopkeeper Xiao is really unusual, and he has no means, how can he obey these people. Liang Yuxi thought of this, and his heart was horizontal, so he didn't care about these cold words, even if he said evil words, he had to endure them. Look carefully at the temperament of these people first, and it will be easy to deal with later.
The few who coaxed him, seeing that he didn't speak, also felt bored, and a few of them got together to play money.
Liang Yu was happy to know that when he woke up, the hour was not early, and it was pitch black outside, and his stomach was a little hungry.
He remembered that he still had some silver taels on him, and there was a tavern in the wooden building on the west side. Then he got up, and went out to the west.
Walking into the tavern, by the lamp on the counter, I saw the woman lying by the window at dusk on the counter, and when I looked closely, it was also a little charming little woman, no more than thirty years old.
When the woman saw Liang Yuxi coming in, her face smiled, and she called Xiao Er to hurry up and entertain the guests.
Liang Yu was happy to see that under the bean lamp in the store, there were still people eating and drinking. I didn't want to think too much, so I asked Xiao Er to sit down in a corner, and asked Xiao Er to bring wine and some steamed beef.
Picking up the tea soup poured by Xiao Er and drinking, the woman walked behind him at some point, pressed his shoulder with one hand and said: "Little brother, it's boring to eat and drink alone, I have a lot of beautiful girls here, do you want to call one to accompany you." ”
Liang Yuxi only said: "You have a good life, I will only eat wine and leave, don't be troubled." ”
The woman was not annoyed, sat on the side, and said in a wrying manner: "Little brother is so unreasonable, you have entered my door, you are my fifth mother's guest, I treat you well, you should treat me well." ”
Liang Yu was happy to see the shopkeeper bring up the wine and meat steamed buns, so he ate them by himself and ignored her.
Another one said: "Wu Niang, no matter how ordinary you have to treat my silver, I am also your guest, and you should treat me well." ”
A few guests laughed dryly.
"You have a few beheadings, you have to be as handsome as this little brother, and the old lady will stick to you too."
asked Liang Yuxi with a smile: "Little brother is alone, I don't know if I have a place to live tonight?" ”
Liang Yuxi saw that she was only bored and had no malicious intent, so he said: "I already have a place to live, so I don't bother you." ”
"There is no inn in this forest farm, and you are not like that Xiao Scorpion, where do you live?"
Liang Yuxi heard him say Xiao Scorpion, I don't know if she is talking about Xiao Shopkeeper or who, but the name of this scorpion, I don't know what to pay attention to, so I said: "Who is this Xiao Scorpion?" ”
Wu Niang lowered her voice and said: "It's no wonder that you don't know when you first come, Xiao Scorpion is the big shopkeeper, he is a person with five poisons, you don't want to be targeted by him, otherwise you will be stung half to death." ”
"I don't mess with him, is it okay?"
"I know you're the new second shopkeeper, so it's better for you to be careful." Then he said loudly, "If you don't like it, you can move into my house, there is something wonderful you can't think of." ”
The person who answered next to him: "Wu Niang, I want to know how good you are?" ”
Wu Niang got up and said: "The beauty of the old lady is only known by the silver two and the fiery body, you only know how to eat and drink, where is the body that arouses my interest." ”
Liang Yuxi pondered Wu Niang's words, saying that this Xiao Xiaoshen is a poisonous scorpion, and when he came today, he was just a little cold, and he didn't know what hardships he would give himself later.
After eating and drinking, and paying for the wine, he walked back to the big house in the east.
When I entered the door, I saw that those wooden customers were in their own places, playing money and drinking, so lively.
Liang Yuxi and his clothes fell, and because of some alcohol, he fell asleep.
This time, I dreamed that I was on the path of Black Pine Mountain, and I saw the back of the old man walking farther and farther, and I couldn't keep up. This old man didn't come to look at himself directly, he climbed all the way by himself, and he was so tired that he was out of breath. Suddenly, dozens of strongmen appeared behind the ground, scolding and scolding, very vicious.
Liang Yuxi hurriedly ran forward, and the old man was nowhere to be found, and unconsciously ran into the forest. A green figure can be seen faintly in front of him, standing in the depths of the forest, silently and unmoving.
At that time, snow fell from the sky. Liang Yuxi suddenly felt a chill hit, and he also heard a few whistling sounds around him, so he was not mad.
Liang Yuxi woke up with this cold shock, only to feel that it was dark all around, and he was cold, where he still slept in the east room, which was clearly a wilderness.
Liang Yuxi was suddenly frightened.
Shicai's dream was clear, and he himself remembered the preparation of the Black Pine Mountain Forest Farm, as well as the wine he ate and the people who spoke. It's just that he clearly sleeps in the east house of the Black Pine Mountain Forest Farm, how can he sleep in this wild.
And the stars and moon in the sky are not bright, I don't know where I am.
Listen carefully and discern carefully, surrounded by mountains and forests. The dew on his body, the whistling sound around him, and the vague black shadow that can be seen vaguely, this is not where he is sleeping in the wild.
Liang Yuxi also woke up, could it be that he encountered something bad?
As soon as he touched his arms, the remaining silver taels were gone. He had heard before that the wild ghost fox spirit in the mountains was obsessed with scholars, but this wild ghost fox spirit was used to sucking people's souls or eating their flesh and blood, and he still had a comprehensive body, which didn't make sense.
Liang Yuxi got up after thinking about it, and with the faint light of the stars and moon, he walked to an open place with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and after walking not far, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
He looked back and saw two green lights, a few feet away from him. He secretly screamed badly, knowing that he had met a hungry wolf in the mountains.
Liang Yuxi knew that he couldn't run, for fear that the wolf would pounce on him for a while, so he pretended to walk forward as usual, but he couldn't bear it anymore in his heart, and his legs and feet were about to weaken.
After walking for a while, Liang Yuxi quietly reviewed, mother, there were already six small green lights behind him, clearly following the three wolves.
