Wang Ming was staring at the two of them, his eyes were full of joy. Li Yi put away the strip of cloth and said to Wang Ming, "Is it to give you the strip of cloth?" The old man told you that we were coming.

Wang Ming hurriedly replied: "It's not him, it's Nuwa Niangniang who told me that you were coming, and asked me to hide under the statue, saying that you will appear after dark, but the old man you said should also know that you are coming, and when he gave me the cloth, he specially told me not to forget to hand it over to you, and said that you would solve my troubles." ”

Li Yi asked, "What's the trouble with you?" Wang Ming's expression darkened suddenly, his eyes were full of tears, and he could fall at any time. He lowered his head, his body trembled a little, and before Li Yi could comfort them, he raised his head again and took a deep breath, trying to squeeze a smile out of his face.

Li Yi looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly had an inexplicable emotion, although human beings are small, but that kind of strong spirit is indeed so powerful, Li Yi was in a trance, he seemed to have seen this expression, he must have seen this expression, but now he can't remember.

Li Yan's expression also changed, but it was fleeting, and Li Yi didn't notice it. Li Yan pulled Wang Ming down on the futon and sat down, and Wang Ming began to formally talk about what happened to him.

Wang Ming lives in a village fifty miles west of this, the original name of the village is Renji Village, has existed for many years, I heard the old people in the village say that the reason why the village is called Renji Village is because the ancestors of the village in the original village when the village was not established, in the east of the village in a dry well found a stone tablet two square, the stone tablet painted some pictures, there are many words.

Strange to say, until now no one in the village has reached the meaning of the stele, so there were people in the village who extended the painting and consulted the scholars of the time, but no one could say exactly what it meant, but some people speculated that it should be used to ward off evil spirits.

No one can read a few of those small characters, but everyone seems to know the word Renji, of course, these are things that happened in later generations.

At that time, the ancestors didn't think much about it, but they just felt that there must be a stone tablet here to be a feng shui treasure, so they started to build a village around the stone tablet, and the stone tablet was also repaired by them, and built a temple around it, and took a name called "Stone Tablet Temple".

This custom continues to this day, not only whether it is really blessed by the stone monument, but also that Renji Village has been in good weather every year since the establishment of the village, and most of the people in the village are healthy and long-lived, and then die without illness.

With the passage of time, Renji Village has developed steadily in the long river of history like other mortal villages, the only difference is that Renji Village seems to avoid all the disasters in the mortal world, and everything is so smooth.

Most of the people in Renji Village have the surname Wang, and Wang Ming's family is the only big family in the village, and the family is very wealthy.

The people of Renji Village have always been simple, everyone is humble and polite, and the neighbors live in harmony with each other, and there is never any unpleasantness for each other because of trivial matters. Wang Ming's family is a scholarly family, and his character is not to mention.

So far there is no so-called chief village chief and other stewards in Renji Village, no matter who is in difficulty, everyone will take the initiative to help, among which Wang Ming's family is the most prominent, Wang Ming's explanation is that since you have the ability to do something better, then you should do it.

Wang Ming's expression never changed when he said these words, Li Yi and the two looked at each other and smiled, and each other was happy for the innocent young man in front of him.

Although the two of them came out for the first time, they still know a little about the things in the world, and I don't know when human beings will start to become selfish and cruel, sometimes they completely ignore the lives of others for a little bit of their own, not to mention those who kill people and frame them.

Although human beings have opened their minds, it seems that they have returned to what the old man said, the forms generated by the yin and yang qi on the earth at the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, but those forms do less damage without wisdom.

Of course, this is not something that the two of them should worry about, everything must have its certainty, and external forces cannot be stopped no matter what.

Wang Ming didn't notice the expressions of the two, and continued: This situation has changed since two years ago, at first there were many more incidents in the villagers for no reason, and people who were supposed to work hard in the fields suddenly became idle.

First of all, this situation is the case of the village elders who are usually highly respected, who used to teach their children to read and learn calligraphy in the school, or get together to discuss what the village needs to do to have a better future, and they are the code of conduct that symbolizes everything in Renji Village.

Now they are still together, but what they are talking about is how the young people of the village disrespect the elders, and how they have made countless contributions to the village in the end are just enough food and clothing.

Everyone should take out better things for them to enjoy, and those children who want to read are all elms who do not know how to read, and it is impossible to reach their own level if they are taught.

On the one hand, they think that children do not need to be taught, and on the other hand, they all think that only they are the real bachelors, and only those who follow themselves are the best, and they not only say this but also do it.

Several old men over half a hundred years old quarreled fiercely together, spoke viciously to each other, and at the beginning they also talked about how the ancients were so full of swear words in the end, and they all blew their beards and stared at each other, panting. What's more, they pointed at each other with their canes, and finally they even started to move.

Li Yi and the others seemed to be able to imagine the scene at that time, and they couldn't help but smile in their hearts. Saying this, Wang Ming stopped, he looked at Li Yi and the two quietly, with a hint of apology and helplessness in his eyes.

Li Yi and the others can somewhat understand Wang Ming's situation, the old men he said must be the people he respects, for a child who is not deeply involved in the world, most of the things he knows about the outside are from the book, and those old men are also the portrayal of those sages he thinks.

Suddenly, the most sacred thing in his heart became what he said it was, and for him it was the collapse of his inner world, which was far more devastating to a person than physically.

Li Yi wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say, for Li Yi, he has lived for tens of thousands of years, and he has naturally experienced a lot of things, but first, because his living environment will not be like this, and secondly, he understands that everything has its own trajectory of development, good things are like this, and bad things are also like this.

Although he was compassionate and couldn't see the pain of others, there was no place to open his mouth at this time, just when Li Yi was at a loss in his heart.

Li Yan smiled, he put his right hand on Wang Ming's shoulder and said: "Some things should be like this, their progress is beyond your control, and you should accept it calmly whether it is good or bad."

Li Yan seemed to realize something, smiled again, shook Wang Ming's shoulder lightly, and said, "Didn't you meet us, and your problem will be solved when we come." ”

As Li Yan realized, Wang Ming didn't understand what his words meant, but at this moment Wang Ming's heart was warm, and this warm current was born from his heart, and then flowed to all parts of his body, and he felt very comfortable.

Wang Ming showed a slight smile on his face, and let out a long breath and continued to talk about what happened to him. In less than two days, this situation spread to everyone in the village, and everyone put down their work and began to talk about the rights and wrongs of others, everyone said others, and everyone was talked about.

When the two sides who say and are said meet unexpectedly, the contradiction occurs, everyone else is framing themselves, everyone is swearing that what they are saying is the truth, and the people around who are watching the excitement also start to add fuel and vinegar to the side, and laugh.

Although everyone is doing something to catch the wind and shadows, and they all know that they are at each other's faults, but when things come to this point, no one admits their mistakes or takes a step back, and everyone subconsciously goes to the dark.

Although there is almost no difference in what they do, after all, everyone's talent is different, and in the process of quarreling, there are naturally losses of ten points and eight points.

Those who lose by eight points naturally have to maintain this advantage and press it step by step. And the person who loses ten points is also angry and unwilling, and the people around him laugh at him regardless of ten or eight points.

The person who lost ten points saw that he was not the opponent of the eight-point person in front of him, so he began to turn his target to the people around him, and things began to follow a pattern at this point: two people quarreled, and the worse one lost began to attack the others, and if the others were even more defeated, they turned to attack other people, so that in less than a day, the people in the village began to participate in the war.

Each of them is the target of others' attacks, and everyone is an attacker of others, and in the last moment they were allies and became enemies in the blink of an eye, and if what happened to them was fought as a battle, then everyone was not clear, everyone was involuntarily themselves, and everyone was happy to do it.

This situation has to have a result, and according to the usual practice, it is to ask those old people to uphold justice, but when everyone really goes to let them uphold justice, they find that things will be worse.

This is an inevitable thing, because all the causes start from the old man, and the result of foolish people is a mess.

So everyone began to question the old man, and the old man began to complain about everyone, so the unfinished war began to happen more intensely.

It's just that there is one thing that seems to be necessary to say, although those old people can understand everything when they are full of poetry and books, and they can explain everything clearly, but when they quarrel with the villagers, they are completely unable to show their temperament, and they can't interject half of their words at all.

Those natural twists and turns are completely useless at this moment, and the villagers have completed all kinds of massacres unscathed in this war.

The old man was unconvinced, but the more angry he became, the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't speak, and the only thing he could do was to rub his up and down chest vigorously, and the cane struck on the ground.

In the end, this war is naturally to move to Wang Ming's family, and the villagers did the same thing that could not be solved before, after all, Wang Ming's family is a big family in the village.

Even if the villagers have not seen Wang Ming's family's military and financial resources, the Wang family has never used this method to solve things, but after all, there are some of them, and you have them whether you use them or not.

When the villagers gathered at Wang Ming's house, Wang Ming knew what was happening, and there was a reason for this, firstly, this happened really fast, and it was only two or three days from the beginning to now, and secondly, Wang Ming liked to study at home and rarely went out, and he only knew until the people in the house explained the situation to him.

The man described it so realistically, with all the details not spared, and his own opinions and opinions in between, and he described it with a look of disdain, and his words were full of mockery.

It wasn't until later that Wang Ming knew that such a thing was impossible for their family to avoid, everyone in the house had been recruited, and Wang Ming was no exception, but first, there was a way to solve this matter, and secondly, Wang Ming was also a person of creation, and he should go through him to guide the next direction.

Wang Ming's father, Wang Tiande, is sitting in the courtyard at the moment to reconcile the accounts, standing next to the account man, Mr. is flattering, Wang Tiande is full of dissatisfaction, his left hand flips through the account book, and his right hand is rapidly making calculations, and the whole yard is crackling.

Wang Tiande is also a knowledgeable person, and he has also read poetry and books since he was a child. As Wang Ming said, there is no manager in Renji Village, that is to say, there are no officials in Renji Village, and not only that, there are no officials in Renji Village, although everyone says that they don't know why this is the case, they are all accustomed to doing it instinctively.

Wang Tiande began to become the head of the Wang family when he was thirty years old, and the Wang family's family background was already very rich, plus Wang Ming was very shrewd, and it was the first way to do business, and the Wang family's family business was bigger in a few years.

Like all the other people in Renji Village, Wang Tiande is also a kind and charitable person, and he can't see a little more suffering than others, and officially because of this, although Wang Tiande has not entered the official career, others also call him a master when they see it.

Wang Tiande doesn't seem to like this kind of title very much, he always says that everyone is the same, and calling the master will unconsciously make people feel superior, which is very bad.

Therefore, except for the servants at home, although everyone else calls him master in private, and always calls him a good man in person, Wang Tiande doesn't seem to like this very much, but the old people in the village say that it's nothing, or everyone really doesn't know what to call him, and Wang Tiande won't be able to say anything.

Therefore, if there is anything that cannot be solved in the village, everyone will come to the Wang family together, and the door of the Wang family is always open.

Just as Wang Tiande had calculated the key point, the subordinate guarding the door suddenly ran over and shouted, "Master, those villagers are here again." ”

The voice of the subordinate was very high and sudden, Wang Tiande shook his hand, and the account that had just been calculated was all messed up.

Wang Tiande roared angrily: "I don't have long eyes, don't you see that the master is settling accounts?" ”

Although the man looked a little frightened with a look on his expression, his tone was very unconvinced, and he muttered: "They insisted on entering, and I couldn't stop it." ”

Before Wang Tiande could get angry, the people in the village rushed in, and shouted nonsense: "Wang Dashan, come and give a comment, what is going on" "These people really don't know what to do, rumors are pure rumors" "We must teach them a lesson and let them know that they are powerful"

Everyone's mouth has a speech, and the voice is so messy that it is impossible to hear what is being said.

They surrounded Wang Tiande in the center at once, everyone yelled at him, Wang Tiande was already at the beginning, looking at these people, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and suddenly stood up and shouted to shut up.

Maybe it was because of the large number of people, or maybe it was because of everyone's loud voices, after Wang Tiande shouted, only a few people close to him stopped, and they all looked at him with ghostly expressions. And the people who were far away from him were still muttering non-stop.

Wang Tiande saw that his words had no effect, so he quickly stood on the chair without thinking, grabbed the abacus on the table and threw it on the ground, with a loud bang, the abacus scattered in all directions, and now even the outermost one stopped shouting, stretching his neck to find the source of the sound.
