Chapter 177: Talking, Tomb of the Three Elders
()
Once upon a time, he was still standing aside and looking at Jiang Shaowen's helpless face and happy, but now Hongying regretted it.
She regretted sending that peach, otherwise Mrs. Tao would not have changed her mind, and she would not have suffered.
Jiang Shaowen walked slowly to Hongdou's side with light steps, and looked back at Hongying, who was listening to Mrs. Tao's story with a serious face: "How did you say that?" ”
Hongdou was also feeling sad for Hongying, so he didn't notice Jiang Shaowen speaking: "What? ”
"Oh yes, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, if you don't believe it, look up, who will the sky forgive." Jiang Shaowen nodded: "Good poetry, good poetry." ”
Hongdou quietly looked at Jiang Shaowen's villain, and suddenly felt a little unbalanced in his heart, and instantly forgot that he and Hongying were also mocking Jiang Shaowen together.
"You can't do that."
Hongdou suddenly had no beginning and no end, of course Jiang Shaowen didn't know what it meant: "What did you say?" What can't you do? ”
Hongdou looked back, at this time, the peach in Mrs. Tao's hand was about to be eaten again, Hongdou was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly took another peach and put it in Jiang Shaowen's hand, and then took advantage of Mrs. Tao's inattention, and flew up and kicked Jiang Shaowen out.
"You!" Jiang Shaowen was shocked, but he didn't expect Hongdou to be 'ruthless'.
But Jiang Shaowen has already come out, so he can only face Mrs. Tao head-on.
The peach in Mrs. Tao's hand had already been eaten, and when she turned around, she happened to see Jiang Shaowen standing aside with another peach in her hand, and Jiang Shaowen could only walk up with the peach.
"Tao Po, you eat."
This time, Mrs. Tao didn't take the peach in Jiang Shaowen's hand, but waved her hand: "No, no, it's not good for your health to eat too much when you're old." ”
Jiang Shaowen was glad when he heard this, and felt that he was about to escape, but Mrs. Tao said again: "You are not bad, like this girl, you are kind-hearted, I want to be like you back then, I am almost like you......"
Jiang Shaowen's heart fell into a trough in an instant, and Hongying recovered her spirit in an instant, because she should be able to exit according to the process just now.
So Hongying began to slowly turn around and prepare to leave, but Mrs. Tao obviously didn't want her to go.
"You are a girl, you are kind-hearted......"
Jiang Shaowen lowered his head and sent a message to Hongying: "Heh, let's go on together, great good man." ”
Immediately, Jiang Shaowen received Hongying's reply: "Don't taunt me, neither of us can leave now, you know?" ”
“……”
“……”
Jiang Shaowen and Hongying still survived the test of Mrs. Tao in the end.
"Oh, no, I think it was me who was young back then, I said that it would be okay for a day and a night, you look at me and just talk for a while, it won't work."
Seeing this, Jiang Shaowen hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, we also want to talk to you about things in the village." ”
"Things in the village?" Mrs. Tao rested for a moment and asked, "What's going on in the village?" ”
Jiang Shaowen pretended to think about it and said, "Just about some interesting things in our village. ”
"Interesting?" Mrs. Tao quieted down and thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, and was about to start talking.
But Jiang Shaowen knew that it must not be what he wanted, so he hurriedly said: "It's about the people in the village, such as having rank, traveling and so on." ”
There was no chance to speak, which made Mrs. Tao a little dissatisfied, but she still thought carefully about Jiang Shaowen's question: "Have rank?" Travel? ”
Finally got to the point, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Jiang Shaowen nodded violently: "Well, is there anything about them." ”
"Theirs?" Mrs. Tao thought for a while and suddenly said, "There are some interesting things." ”
Jiang Shaowen nodded hurriedly: "Let's hear it." ”
"You know." Mrs. Tao once again returned to her 'main battlefield': "It's that bad old man from Tao Yuan." ”
"Tauber's business?" Jiang Shaowen instantly put on an expression of interest: "Let's hear it." ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Tao nodded: "Do you know how many children Tao Yuan has in their family?"
Jiang Shaowen thought about it and didn't see any children at Tao Yuan's house: "There is no one." ”
"Who asked you now, I mean when Tao Yuan was a child, guess how many children there were in their family."
Jiang Shaowen thought about it, since Mrs. Tao asked, it meant that there were a lot of people, so Jiang Shaowen guessed boldly: "Six? ”
"You're supposed to be a sow piglet, and six." Mrs. Tao said, "Guess again." ”
Jiang Shaowen thought about it, it was indeed too much: "Those four? ”
Mrs. Tao shook her head: "No, guess again." ”
"Still not right?" Jiang Shaowen thought about it and cut another one: "Three? ”
"No, why are you so stupid."
Jiang Shaowen was also confused, purely by guessing the question, is it stupid or not?
"It's two." Mrs. Tao had an expression of hatred on her face: "This is not right?" ”
"Two?" Jiang Shaowen wanted to hit someone instantly, what are you doing with the mystery of the two of you?
"yes, just two." Saying that, Mrs. Tao said in a low voice: "These two are still brothers." ”
Jiang Shaowen looked puzzled, aren't you talking nonsense?
Mrs. Tao knew Jiang Shaowen's doubts, so she said, "It's not what you think, I mean these two are exactly the same." ”
Jiang Shaowen was stunned for a moment: "Twins? ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Tao said: "It's the twins, look at my memory, the twins are right." ”
"So what rank is he?"
"He is the younger brother, and his brother's name is Todd."
"Todd?" Jiang Shaowen thought for a while: "What about Tao De now?" ”
"Todd?" Mrs. Tao slowly closed her eyes and thought about it, and after a long while, she said, "He went outside to be a manager." ”
"Managers?" Jiang Shaowen thought for a while: "Isn't the manager Uncle Tao Wu?" ”
"No, no, no, Tao Wu is after." Mrs. Tao explained: "Todd was a little earlier than Todd, and Todd went out to replace Todd. ”
Jiang Shaowen nodded, if he remembered correctly, Tao De had disappeared for a while, after all, when he first came to the Peach Blossom Land Secret Realm, he had never seen Tao De's figure.
Jiang Shaowen thought for a while and asked, "Then how are our Peach Blossom Forest managers rotated?" If we don't go out, how do we know that the manager who is outside is still there? ”
"It's simple." Mrs. Tao said: "Every twenty peach blossom rains will be dispatched, if there is an accident, more people will be dispatched, in addition to managing the peach blossom forest maze, the expatriate will also take care of the previous manager, and send him to the end of his old age." ”
"Twenty peach blossom rains?"
The peach blossom rain is once a year, so twenty peach blossom rains are twenty years, but when Tao Wu went out before, he didn't see the previous manager Tao De.
Jiang Shaowen once again thought of the white bones in the peach blossom forest before, and there was a knife mark on his right wrist.
Jiang Shaowen hurriedly asked, "Then where are the three elders of our past dynasties buried?" ”
"Three Elders?" Mrs. Tao thought for a while: "It's a bit particular about burying, you pay to be buried on the edge of the field, and the husband is buried on the edge of the granary, and Youzhi specially found a forest to settle, usually the big and small things in the village are disputed, and they also go to the forest to solve it." ”
"Linzi?" Jiang Shaowen thought for a while: "Why haven't I seen that forest?" ”
"It's all around now, on the dirt slope behind their house."
Jiang Shaowen nodded, and he knew Tao Feng: "Then how many generations of people in our village have rank?" ”
"Ah, I can't tell, but at the back of their rankings there are written who their previous and next ones are, you go and count them yourself." After speaking, Mrs. Tao looked at Jiang Shaowen with a little doubt: "Why are you asking this?" ”
"Harm, nothing." Jiang Shaowen said with a smile: "It's just that I'm idle and want to find something to do." ”
"Counting the tablets?" Mrs. Tao couldn't help but tremble: "I don't know what to do." ”
"Hahaha." Jiang Shaowen scratched his head with a smile, almost revealing his stuff, although now Mrs. Tao also doubted herself.
Jiang Shaowen didn't leave immediately, he asked some things about the other three elders, and then asked other interesting things in the village, and it was enough to spend time until five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Shaowen left Mrs. Tao's house with red beans and red tassels.
"Hanshu Hundred Officials and Ministers' Table" (above) said: "The rate is ten miles and one pavilion, and the pavilion is long." Ten pavilions and one township, the township has three elders, ranks, sirhusbands, and you, the three elders are in charge of education, and the husbands listen to lawsuits, collect taxes, and travel to prohibit thieves and thieves. ”
The work of the sifu here is similar to the affairs of judges and prefects, taxation and other affairs, which is very similar to having rank, and after the Jin Dynasty, only the sifu has not yet had a rank.
There are still some differences between these distributions and Peach Blossom Village, where only Youzhi is in charge of the law, You Fu is responsible for patrolling and driving away beasts, and Sifu is responsible for deploying manpower to build buildings and collect public grain.
Jiang Shaowen took the red bean and red tassel all the way to Tao Feng's house, and now it was time for dinner, so Jiang Shaowen was still a little offended to go at this time, probably because of the peaches, Tao Feng did not show any disdain, but warmly welcomed Jiang Shaowen's arrival.
"Come, guest, let's have a bite together."
"No, no." Jiang Shaowen shook his head: "I haven't visited the ancestors and ancestors of our Peach Blossom Village for so long, I just went to worship the Sifu and Youfu, but I don't have the only rank, so I decided to go and worship." ”
"Worship the ancestors?" Tao Feng was stunned for a moment, this 'guest' really wanted to come out, it was a show.
"Well, guest, isn't it too late?"
"It's not too late," Jiang Shaowen said: "Just show me the way, let's go by ourselves." ”
"No, no, no. The guest misunderstood. Tao Feng said: "I mean it's late now, and it will be very unsafe for guests to go all the way now." ”
"Harm, it's okay." Jiang Shaowen shook his head: "I have something to illuminate, you just say that the previous generations of people are buried there, I will go and sweep their tombs and leave." ”
Tao Feng pondered for a long time: "Okay, I'll take you over." ”
"No, no." Jiang Shaowen hurriedly dissuaded.
Jiang Shaowen went to count the graves, is it too immoral to take their descendants to visit?
Jiang Shaowen Duan Ran would not take Tao Feng with him, so he simply rejected Tao Feng's request.
Tao Feng is also happy, after all, it won't be long before he will leave here to go outside, now it is the right thing to hurry up and get close to his son, after all, he still has something to do during the day, and only has time at night.
"Be careful, I'll take you to that path."
"Okay." Jiang Shaowen nodded, and went directly out of Tao Feng's house, leaving through the back door of Tao Feng's house and going to the hill behind.
The path in Tao Feng's mouth is a path in the real sense, it is very remote, Jiang Shaowen turned left and right and passed through the inconspicuous crevices in the tall grass, and Tao Feng took Jiang Shaowen and others to another piece of tall grass.
Tao Feng pointed to the tall grass in front of him and said, "It's good to go along, but after all, it's a cemetery, so it is inevitable that there will be some unclean things at night, so be careful." ”
"Something unclean?" Red Bean suddenly shivered.
Hongying reached out and patted Hongdou's back to comfort her.
Jiang Shaowen arched his hand at Tao Feng and said goodbye to Tao Feng, now he knows what Tao Feng means by so-called insecurity, but as a young man who believes in the era of science, of course Jiang Shaowen will not believe in ghosts and gods, so he resolutely approached the tall grass with red beans and red tassels.
The problem with the tall grass is that it affects the field of vision, and the person who goes in is very likely to be in a circle, so Jiang Shaowen simply took out the stone spear, walked all the way and fought all the way, leaving the route he had walked clearly.
In this way, although the speed is much slower, it can ensure that Jiang Shaowen has a clear route to retreat.
Jiang Shaowen was holding a stone spear in front of him, and Hongying was holding Hongdou to walk behind, don't look at Hongdou, who is usually not afraid of the sky or the ground, but after encountering the cow ghost and snake god, even if he knows that he is fake, he will involuntarily feel afraid.
Jiang Shaowen took out the [Hellbear Eyes] and put it in front of him to look at the road, and glanced back, although Hongying was holding the red beans very calmly, Jiang Shaowen could see that she was also very scared, and her legs were trembling involuntarily.
Jiang Shaowen said slowly: "Follow me." ”
"Hmm." Hongying nodded, put her arm around Hongdou's shoulder, and walked a few steps quickly to Jiang Shaowen's side.
Jiang Shaowen soon came to a clearing without tall grass, and there were small mounds of soil on the ground, arranged according to certain rules, and several of the small soil bags were still flashing with faint blue light.
That's the so-called ghost fire, which is actually phosphorus exposed to the air.
"Ghost, ghostfire." Red Bean shuddered, and then hid her whole body close behind Red Ying.
"You should know it's phosphorus."
"Iron Man" Jiang Shaowen pointed out the key points very directly.
Red Beans are still a little scared.,But it's better to hide all your body behind Red Ying.。。
"Let's go, I'm going to count, do you want to come with me? Or stay here and wait for me?
