In addition to Xu Laosan, a voice also came out of a water tank next to Cao Xiong.

It's just that this voice sounds very old, and people can't help but think of the old man who is approaching.

"Steward Xu, the old soul power is constantly fading...... Ahem, last time the baby of the Zhou family, you gave it to someone else, this time, no one can cut the queue, among the three places, there must be one of me. ”

"It turned out to be the boss of the Zhou family...... Steward Xu suddenly took out a thin booklet from his arms, held it in his hand, and a servant beside him helped him move an oil lamp.

Steward Xu squinted and flipped through the booklet, stopped and hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "There are still a few days left in the ten-year period, and you don't have much soul power, so this time I will give you a place...... But you can't talk nonsense, last time the baby of the Zhou family, you can't blame me, according to the generation, you are still his uncle, and I can't bear your cannibalism before I gave him to others. ”

"Ahem...... In this way, thank you Steward Xu, but I don't want to wait for a day. ”

There was another coughing sound in the water tank, but there was obviously a surprise in this coughing sound.

The three people who were tied up heard it in a fog, and they still didn't know that their fate had been linked to the old man in the water tank.

"Who to choose?"

Steward Xu held the booklet in one hand, and his eyes swirled around the three of them.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed at a laborer next to Cao Xiong.

The guy didn't know what was going to happen next, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong, and he twisted his upper body desperately, kicking his feet on the ground as if he was trying to break free from the servant's hands.

The servant was very familiar with the whole process, and when he saw this, he turned the man upside down and put his head on the ground.

Then he took out a rope and tied the man's feet to death, and then connected the rope between his legs and his hands from behind, and came to a cross lock behind his back.

The laborer's body couldn't help but bow into a 'bow' shape.

Then, under the frightened gaze of Cao Xiong and another companion, two servants carried the man to Boss Zhou's water tank.

The lid on the tank had long since been lifted to the ground.

The two servants carried the labor and threw it into the tank with their heads inwards and their feet backwards like garbage.

Poof!

There was a dull splash in the tank.

Cao Xiong and his companions next to him had already widened their eyes, and they looked at them almost the whole time.

There is still half a tank of water in the water tank, how can there be a way to survive after being tied up to death like this?

Woowoo......

Cao Xiong and his companion quietly glanced at each other, and they both saw a chilling fear in each other's eyes, and the rest was a desperate struggle.

The two of them almost took out the strength to feed, kicked their legs on the ground, and with a momentum, knocked the servants behind them and staggered, almost escaping from each other's clutches.

It's just that at this moment, the two of them are already fish in the kitchen, and the water that depends on them is about to be drained, and even if they knock over the servants, it will be difficult to run out of the front yard.

This time, without waiting for Steward Xu's orders, the servants behind the two consciously pressed the two under them, and their hands and feet were tied in one place.

This time, even if the gods descend to earth, it will be difficult to break free.

Cao Xiong's face was directly pressed to the ground, he turned his face hard, and moved his upper body in the direction of Steward Xu, as if he was shouting something.

The facial features, which were originally quite refreshing, have long been tangled in one place, and saliva and snot and tears can't stop flowing out.

At this moment, Cao Xiong's greatest wish is to hope that the other party will take away the rags in his mouth and let him say the last sentence, "My brother-in-law is the county lord of the county government, you can't treat me like this, I am not an ordinary official." ”

It's a pity that this sentence can only remain in his heart for the rest of his life.

Steward Xu didn't give him a chance at all, but after glancing at him with disgust, he still flipped through the thin booklet in his hand.

In Cao Xiong's eyes, the roll call seemed to have become the book of life and death in the hands of King Yama.

Whoever hits the spot dies.

But for the ghosts in the tank, the roster has become fragrant again.

In the front yard, which was still quiet, there was another chaotic quarrel.

"Steward Xu, you must choose me this time, the old body is old and the soul is declining, and you can only wait for death slowly if you stay, and you can't contribute value to your Xu Mansion......"

"Pick me...... Elect me...... If it weren't my turn this time, I'd be going to rebel. ”

……

The front yard was bustling and suddenly transformed into a noisy market.

All kinds of voices jumped out of the water tank, men and women, old and young, pleading, threatening, and scolding and screaming.

Steward Xu has long been surprised.

Every time a new ghost comes in, these old guys always have to make a noise and quarrel in order.

It's not what it used to be.

Recently, there have been more and more substitute ghosts in the Xu family compound in Wutang Village, and these old ghosts don't need to quarrel at all.

Sooner or later, it will be your turn.

"Alas......"

Steward Xu sighed, took out a few chapters of talisman seals from his arms, and pasted them on the water tanks that shouted the most.

Suddenly, the front yard was quiet again.

"Zhou Ah Niu ......"

Steward Xu called out another name.

"Yes, Steward Xu, I'm not noisy, do you have my quota this time?"

Steward Xu looked at the book of life and death again, lowered his head and read: "Your son and daughter-in-law are both working in the factory, and it is better to work less, this time let you get naked, for the sake of your son and daughter-in-law, I will give you a place." ”

"Yes, yes...... Thank you Steward Xu, my son and daughter-in-law, it is a blessing for them to be able to work outside Xu Yuanwai, even if they die, they will enter this water tank to work for another ten years......"

A distinctly flattering sound came from a water tank not far away.

The villages near Wutang Village are either surnamed Zhou or Xu, and there are some people who know each other on the left and right, and these people can be regarded as knowing the roots.

It's just that I don't know what the wind has been up recently, and there are more and more strangers coming here to inquire about the news.

The filial piety silver, but I have to make up some more, and the quota is slightly insufficient.

Steward Xu thought for a moment, stretched out his right hand forward, and chose among the remaining two.

In the end, it fell on Cao Xiong.

Cao Xiong's eyes were already round, and there was a thick begging in his eyes, but it was a pity that Steward Xu just lowered his head to check the book of life and death, and never looked at him again.

He was carried like a sandbag by two servants behind him, and then came to a water tank with an open lid.

Cao Xiong's body was tense up and down, like a loach that had been fished out of the ridge, and he kept twisting his body and swaying from side to side.

At some point, a half-meter-long old turtle floated out of the water tank, stretching its neck and staring at Cao Xiong in a daze.

There is a hint of expectation in a pair of anthropomorphic eyes, and there is an inexplicable excitement in the expectation.

Seeing Cao Xiong, he had goosebumps all over his body.

The two looked at each other eye to eye.

Cao Xiong seized the last opportunity to pass on his strong desire to survive through these eyes.

The turtle apparently didn't care about any of that.

seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, and jumped out of the water directly, biting Cao Xiong's collar with sharp teeth, and pulling Cao Xiong into it with such a hard pull.

The two servants at the side of the water tank quickly picked up the wooden lid on the ground and placed it on the water tank.
