Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Head
Early in the morning, the tranquility of the Yamamiyama Forest Farm was shattered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The little two who got up early, rubbed his worried eyes, and when he went to pick up the big yellow dog at the door, he took a few steps. As soon as I looked up, I saw a black thing falling at the very top of the gate. He thought to himself, what is this, a big black clump of hair, and some stray hair, like hair...... Ah! Damn! Oh no, it looks like a human head.
It would be wrong to say that the people of this mountain forest farm have never seen a bloody scene. It's just that early in the morning, I saw a human head hanging at the gate, still fluttering in the wind, which made everyone's heart sink. Xiao Er hurriedly ran to the north house, and after he stepped into the courtyard, he went to knock on the door of Mr. Bill. I don't know, the bookkeeper is not there. He didn't dare to go directly into the courtyard to tell the shopkeeper Xiao, so he turned around and went back to the brothel. Xu thinks that this bookkeeper should stay here.
He knocked on the door one by one, ignoring the scolding of others, and finally found Mr. Bookkeeper. He was a little out of breath and said, "Doorway, that...... That...... Over there, there's a ...... head."
Mr. Bookkeeper was just about to scold his ancestors for eight generations, but when these words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back stiffly, like eating a fly. He asked, "What head?" Early in the morning. ”
"Professor, above the door, hang ...... Hung a head. Look at ......"
Mr. Bookkeeper's heart tightened, there have been all kinds of strange things in this forest farm, but who dares to hang a person's head at the door of the forest farm. He pushed away the brocade quilt and the soft body beside him, turned over and got out of bed, found his own clothes and hat, put them on randomly, and ran to the gate with Xiao Er.
Before he could get closer, he saw the black mass, what was it that wasn't a human head? Although it is high, the bloody appearance is a human head. There's a pool of blood on the ground.
He hurriedly shouted to Xiao Er: "Go and get a wooden pole, poke it down and I'll see, who is this?" I don't know what kind of sin this has been created. ”
Xiao Er hurriedly looked around for a wooden pole, and it took a lot of effort for the boss to hear a "bang", and the head fell. After gurgling and rolling on the ground, it stopped there.
The bookkeeper boldly walked over and took a closer look, although the head was somewhat covered by hair, but the eyebrows were still visible, the dead face and the round eyes were still quite clear, but there was a lot of blood on the face, which was still not accurate. The bookkeeper thought in his heart, "Oh, how does this look like Li Yuhou?" "And the more you look at it, the more it looks.
He instructed Xiao Er to hurry up and get a sack to pick up the head of Li Yuhou. He turned around and prepared to report to the shopkeeper Xiao.
As soon as I was about to leave, I heard the sound of horses' hooves of "get it", and it came from far and near. He looked at the end of the mountain road outside the gate, and several small black dots were galloping towards him. It's not good, if outsiders see this scene, it will be troublesome. While urging Xiao Er, Mr. Bookkeeper watched those small black dots turn into several people. The more anxious he was, the less he knew what to do. Seeing that a few people and a few fast horses were about to arrive at the door, the bookkeeper was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to pick it up, so he kicked the head into the grass next to the door.
A few people called for their horses and slowly walked to the door. This person is none other than Chai Zongxun, Chen Gong, Jia Baiyu and Xuyin Dao Chief, as well as a few close attendants. This group of people is dressed in fine clothes, tall horses, and has an extraordinary style.
The bookkeeper had a frightened pale face, squeezed out some smiles, and greeted him. He bowed his hand and said, "A few guest officers, are you passing by or visiting?" ”
Jia Baiyu didn't get off the horse, and also arched his hand: "The old gentleman is tired, this is Shanmishan Forest Farm?" ”
"Oh, that's right, I don't know how many ...... here"
"Oh, we are merchants from Yanggu County, this is the Void Seal Daoist, and he introduced us to talk about business. Please let me know. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," said the bookkeeper, but he didn't move, and he still had a human head in his heart and was still in the grass.
Jia Baiyu saw that he didn't move, so he said again: "Mr. Lao, please wait for me to report." When he had finished speaking, he took out some loose pieces of silver from his bosom and threw them to the bookkeeper.
The old gentleman took the silver, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned: "A few people are invited, I will go and report it immediately, please inside, please!" ”
After waiting for a while, the bookkeeper came to call, and several people stayed outside the door and followed the bookkeeper into the courtyard of the north house. That Xiao Xiaoshen got up in the hall and saluted: "A few people came from afar, and they lost their welcome, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”
Greet each other, make some introductions, sit down, and watch tea.
Xuyin first said: "Shopkeeper Xiao, these are all well-known merchants in Yanggu County, and when they heard that the wood in this mountain forest farm is of good quality and the price is fair, they want to come and purchase some wood." ”
Xiao Xiao Shen said: "Oh, in this way, there is also a Daoist Lao Xuyin who has been recommended all the way here." The words of the head of the virtual seal road are true, my forest farm has a lot of trees, good materials, and fair prices, and it is famous here. And the timber merchants in Qinghe County and Yanggu County mostly rely on the forests of this Black Pine Mountain. This clear river waterway is easy to transport, and this business is really done. A few of us are very fortunate to have come to the place. ”
Jia Baiyu said: "Yes, we have also heard the name of this forest farm and Xiao Da's shopkeeper for a long time, so we came here." I was not afraid of being abrupt, so I went to visit Xiao Da's shopkeeper, which was also disturbing. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, you are a guest from afar, this forest farm is open to do business, it's easy to talk about."
Jia Baiyu: "We heard that the business of the shopkeeper Xiao is quite large, and the use of this imperial court campaign is to buy trees from the forest farm. Isn't the shopkeeper of Xiao worthy of the blessing of the court? ”
"It's just a rumor, it's just a rumor. It is true that my forest farm is used for the imperial court campaign, and the people of the court and China also like the contempt for the proper management and the credibility, but they have a lot of favor. It can't be said that the blessings of the people in the DPRK and China. ”
"Shopkeeper Xiao is too humble. There is a saying that there are people in the court who are easy to do, and they are not gentlemen. The style of the shopkeeper Xiao is exactly what we like to deal with. Jia Baiyu complimented.
Chen Gong said on the side: "We originally wanted to come here a few days earlier, but we heard that there have been many strange things in this Black Pine Mountain recently, and I don't know what has happened, so we have been staying in the county town and dare not enter the mountain." ”
Xiao Xiaoshen: "Oh, there is such a thing, I don't know what evil is going on in Heisong Mountain a few days ago, there is heavy snow in the mountain, and it is still raining and sunny, which is different from usual." But fortunately, this is all in the past. It's been quiet for the past few days. ”
Jia Baiyu said: "It seems that this Xiao Da Shopkeeper is profound, and he can suppress the demons of Black Pine Mountain." In the future, when you come to this treasure land, you will have to rely on Xiao Da's shopkeeper. ”
Xiao Xiaoshen said: "A few people have won the prize. My place is steep and deep, and several of them are pampered guests, so they care about this place. ”
Chen Gongdao: "Not really, the big shopkeeper." This world is always not peaceful, business is not easy to do, and this person is not easy to do? Perhaps, one day, we will also go to the great treasurer, and thanks to the great treasurer's noble hand, we will receive some protection. ”
Xiao Xiaoshen sighed, "I don't know how to say this?" If you want to say that the past ten years in this world are peaceful. Today's saints are not only wise and strategic, but also know how to sympathize with the people of the dawn. After the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it unified the Central Plains and shocked the surrounding countries and their own local envoys. Those vassal states are vying to curry favor with the Great Song Dynasty, and it seems that the Great Song Dynasty is not far away from unifying China. What this outsider said is not easy to do, and he is also worried too much, right? ”
Jia Baiyu laughed and said: "The big shopkeeper is not only aware of current affairs, but this forest farm is also run like a barracks. The shopkeeper Xiao is looking at the high place and starting from the low place, admiring and admiring. ”
Xiao Xiaoshen laughed dryly: "Brother don't dare to say this, this is just deep in the mountains, guarding against some thieves and beasts, I can't say anything." No, a big insect has come to the forest farm recently, scaring people a lot. ”
"What kind of big worm, but a big worm with white eyes?" Imaginary asked anxiously.
"I didn't pay attention to this ......"
"Where is the big worm now?"
Xiao Xiaoshen asked: "Should you still be in the field, Dao Chief?" ”
"Let's talk slowly, I'll go and see before I come." The Void Seal Dao Chief was impatient, so he clenched his fists and went to see the big insect first.
