Chapter 13 The Strange Village
Yue Jianghong left the village, and the village was then full of joy.
First of all, the Jiang family took out a basket of red, red, green and green notes, and pasted them from the entrance of the village to the end of the village.
Then the Zhu family carried a small brazier along the path in the village, lighting a small fire, the flames swayed in the wind, and a few sparks popped out from time to time. But everyone is not in a hurry, it has just rained, and things are wet and can't be lit.
The Lin family was chopping firewood, and the firewood had been chopped very finely, and the huge firewood had been chopped into filaments.
"Too thick, still too thick!"
Uncle Lin held the rusty axe in his hand, and there was some anxiety in his eyes.
Yue Zhong and his family sat by the well, and Aunt Yue Jianghong washed the fire stick with well water, and the charcoal of the fire stick was washed off a lot. Yue Zhong sat under the willow tree and rubbed the rope with wicker.
The two of them didn't say a word.
Old lady Yue sat in the middle of the village, today, he did not look at the top of the lonely mountain, but took out four cloth bags, and then hung them on the four courtyard corners. He stuck his crutches into the mud floor in the middle of the yard and was waiting for something with a hookah.
Yue Jianghong rode sideways on the back of an ox, he was riding a bull for the first time, but he was stable, the croppers were so reliable, and they could stand very steadily on anything.
The feet of the farmer grow with the earth, and the ass is no exception.
It was the first time he had left the village, and he had no idea what it looked like outside. The path is very barren and doesn't look like it's been walked on, but the grass here is much lighter than the outside, and it looks like a road.
Yue Jianghong wondered in his heart, this road didn't look like it was populated, so how did the people who went out of the village on weekdays get out?
The more he walked, the more confused he became, the thatch in front of him was getting higher and higher, and there was almost no road. Fortunately, the horns of the ox were wide and the head of the ox was hard, and it made a way out of the thatch.
"Don't go when you see the road!"
Yue Jianghong suddenly remembered this sentence. Seeing that the road is not taken, then there is no road but there is no road to walk, so my heart settled.
The old cow stopped, and a few stout voices came from behind the thatch in front.
"Supervisor, do you think we can receive wheat this time? It has been raining for a long time in Jianglin Village. ”
"What's wrong with the rain? If it rains, you don't have to pay food? Under the whole world, could it be the king's land, the shore of the land, the king's ministers, they only have thirty or fifty people in a village, can they still resist the imperial court?" a voice said in a high-pitched voice.
"Shhhh
At this, his voice was very low.
The prisoner disagreed: "It's all alarmist, ghostly words that can't see the light, you see, it's still drizzling over Jianglin Village, as soon as we come, the clouds will open and the sun will brighten, it can be seen that the heavens are brilliant, shining on the world, and the evil spirits must be avoided!"
The people who followed him all said that they didn't want to come this time, but they all belonged to the subordinate officials of the Cangyue Imperial Court in Black Cloud City, and their positions were under the management of the farm supervisor, originally they collected taxes and grain on weekdays, and there was not much to do, but this time they were brought to Jianglin Village, they shirked in every possible way, but they couldn't resist this new eunuch at all.
"Jian Cheng, there is Jianglin Village in front, remember one thing, don't get angry in Jianglin Village, otherwise I would rather go back and be punished than get stained with anything bad here, and go back and die an unknown death. ”
"Okay, it's up to you!"
Although the prisoner said yes, his face was not nervous at all, he quietly touched a token on his chest, and said in his heart: "The palace said that the food paid tribute by Gushan has been getting less and less in recent years, and asked me to find out the reason, saying that the people who saw this token in Gushan Jianglin Village would not kill me, I hope nothing goes wrong."
The other three could only silently follow him. At the end of May, the air was particularly hot and humid after the rain, but their hearts were cold, and they were chopped from time to time.
Suddenly, they were shocked, and the saber in their hands was unconsciously pulled out halfway.
I saw a cloth bag come out from behind the thatch, followed by a huge cow's head, and a large buffalo wrapped in a cloth bag came out of the thatch. Niubeishan also rode a young man about twelve years old, the boy was lean, dark-skinned, dressed in short clothes and shorts, with three cloth bags hanging on his left shoulder, and holding a wattle in his hand, which he pumped on the cow's ass from time to time.
Yue Jianghong looked at the four people in front of him, one was dressed in white and holding a sword, and the other three were wearing official green clothes, which Yue Jianghong had seen.
"It's you, you're that kid from Jianglin Village?"
A voice said in surprise, he had come to Jianglin Village to collect grain a few times, and had seen Yue Jianghong. There used to be rumors that there was a child surnamed Yue in the village who couldn't leave the village, and there was only one Yue Jianghong in the Yue family, but now, Yue Jianghong is out of the village.
"Hey, my lord, it's you, it's been a long time!" Yue Jianghong also recognized this seasoned grain official.
"Why did you get out of the village, your lord?"
"My family is in the village, and it has been raining for the past few days, and I can't do any work in the field, so I came out to herd cattle!"
Yue Jianghong's lips were red and his teeth were white, and he remembered what his grandfather had said, he couldn't let others know that he was from Jianglin Village, and now that someone knew him, he couldn't let the other party know that he was going out of the village.
"No way, you don't have cattle at home, you must steal cattle and run out of the village. The man was suspicious, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that the two of them looked a little strange, the prisoner was suspicious, and immediately drew his sword and slashed at Yue Jianghong, and the sword light was like thunder, and it came in an instant.
Yue Jianghong Muran, he had fought with the children in the village, but they were all with wooden sticks and stones, and it was the first time he had encountered such a direct sword and beheading.
Jiang Lin Village didn't have a sword, and Yue Jianghong hadn't seen a sword either, he just felt a breath in the air sting him, making him very uncomfortable, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't be beheaded.
He froze in place, before he could react, and he was about to be slashed by the sword.
Suddenly, a golden bird flew down from the treetops, as fast as lightning, and its wings fluttered into a whirlwind. The farm supervisor was slightly stunned, a little stunned, and at the moment he was stunned, the golden bird threw down the sword in his hand.
He was stunned in his heart, his strength cultivation was not low, but he didn't have time to react at all in front of this inconspicuous golden bird.
The golden bird stared at him with both eyes, so that he did not dare to move.
Yue Jianghong looked at the pimple on the left leg of the golden bird, and recognized the golden bird as the golden feather yellow finch he saved when he was eight years old. The golden bird also turned its head to look at him.
Yue Jianghong jumped down from the back of the big buffalo cow, dangling the thorn strip in his hand, and looked at the farmer supervisor with a smile on his face, he said: "I have never suffered a loss in a fight since I was a child, you just beat me, I won't let you suffer, I will also beat you, do you say okay?"
Yue Jianghong's tone was soft, but it didn't seem like a discussion, he raised the thorn in his hand, and it had already been drawn to the leg of the farm supervisor.
The old grain official just wanted to stretch out his hand to stop it, but it was too late, and he said in his heart: "It's bad, the kid of the Yue family doesn't know that the person in front of him is from the Cangyue Imperial Court, so he can't beat it!"
The prisoner only felt a tingle on his body, and there was nothing else unusual, but he was beaten on his body like a bull by such a bull rider with a bullwhip, which made him very unhappy. However, the golden bird in front of him stared at him, and he didn't dare to move.
Yue Jianghong turned over on the back of the cow, waved the thorn, knocked on the buttocks of the cow, and the big buffalo walked slowly and leisurely towards the outside of the village. The golden-feathered yellow finch followed him and flew into the sky.
The farm supervisor breathed a sigh of relief in his chest, and said secretly: "What realm is that bird? I, a member of the Wind Realm, was actually locked by its qi and couldn't move?"
He finally put away the arrogance in his heart, and remembered that there was not only Jianglin Lonely Village in this jungle, but also a lonely mountain jungle. It was a forbidden area for mainland monks, although the Cangyue Imperial Court had 100,000 miles of mountains and rivers, which was wider than the 400 miles of jungle in Lonely Mountain, but as long as he was in the cultivation world, as long as he had common sense in cultivation, he would not want to challenge the credibility of the rumors of Lonely Mountain.
Some beings, even if they die, their prestige cannot be desecrated, otherwise, the heavens will punish them, and the earth will kill them.
When the farm supervisor entered Jianglin Village, he saw a man and a woman sitting next to the ancient well, the woman was washing the burning stick, and the man was rubbing the rope. The burning stick is about to be scrubbed clean, and the wicker rope is about to be rubbed.
The old grain officer stepped forward first, and politely bowed his hand: "Second uncle and aunt of the Yue family, let's harvest this year's spring wheat, I don't know how Jianglin Village is prepared? ”
Yue Zhong raised his head, glanced at the young farm supervisor, and then lowered his head and continued to rub the willow rope in his hand.
"Wait, butler, I'll be fine!" Yue Zhong said with his head bowed.
The young farmer's heart sank, and Yue Zhong's gaze in front of him pierced him countless times in an instant. Inadvertently, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
He didn't know where the feeling came from, but he did. For a moment, he thought that Yue Zhong in front of him was a peerless master in the hidden world, but under careful perception, he was just a complete mortal.
Yue Zhong's willow rope was rubbed very slowly, and the four of them had to wait, not daring to urge, and after half an hour, Yue Zhong's willow rope was finally rubbed.
"Several officials, the end of the rope is the most difficult, so you have been waiting for a long time, please come with me. ”
Yue Zhong and his daughter-in-law walked towards the north of the village, one holding a willow rope in their hands and the other carrying a burning stick.
Along the way, the Zhu family set up a lot of fires, when Yue Zhong and his family walked by, the flames rose in the wind and jumped towards Yue Zhong, Yue Zhong's daughter-in-law picked up the burning stick, towards the fire is a stick, the fire was immediately extinguished, a few sparks flew into her mouth, she couldn't help coughing.
In the courtyard of the Zhu family, the third uncle of the Zhu family suddenly covered his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Yue Zhong and the others continued to walk forward, and suddenly, some colorful pieces of paper flew from the wall of the Jiang family, like fluttering butterflies, flying around Yue Zhong, Yue Zhong's hand holding the willow rope suddenly trembled, and the willow rope flew up and down, shattering the paper in the air.
Two pieces of paper were still attached to his chest, one red and one blue. He couldn't help but snort, stroked his chest and let out a long breath, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
At this time, the young farm supervisor knew why Jianglin Village had the name of a strange village. He couldn't understand what was happening in front of him. He finally understood why the former Prison Council did not resign.
This errand is not so easy.
"There is a god operator in the palace who said that there will be a vacant seat in Gushanjiang Village this year, and my roots and bones are suitable, so arrange for me to come in, am I really suitable for this village?"
Yue Zhong and his family walked all the way, extinguishing the fires along the road, and sparks kept flying into the mouths of the two, and there were many colorful pieces of paper, flying down on the two of them, and the two of them walked slower and slower, and more and more blood flowed out of their mouths.
In the end, all the torches were extinguished, and all the Zhu family members were lying in the courtyard, all of them spitting blood, including the uncle of the Zhu family. The people of the Yue family were also lying on the bed, dying.
Only the people of the Lin family did not have a trace of damage.
The second uncle of the Lin family laughed loudly behind the door: "Jiang Lin Village, now my Lin family has the final say!"
Yue Zhong said weakly: "Second Lin Lao, if I die, your Lin family will be next, are you sure you want to do it?"
