With Liu Zhutou and his people as the foundation, Cao Jun is also half a landlord, and he is not worried about becoming the commander of the light pole.

Before leaving tomorrow, there is a man who must be seen in advance.

A moment later, Cao Jun came to the room of the previous guide, Zhou Fugui.

In the half-open door, Zhou Fugui sat at the table alone, with a pile of peanut shells piled up in front of him, and half a plate of leftover braised scalp meat, his old face was slightly red, and he was pouring himself a wine glass.

In the past, the county government's banquet was presided over by the master, and Liu Zhutou added the last seat, helping to pour wine and enliven the atmosphere, which was regarded as a male public relations.

As for the protagonists in the banquet, of course, Cao Jun and the other three.

This guide, who is equally important for the next action, is not even qualified to go to the table.

Cao Jun's arrival startled him.

Zhou Fugui hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and in a panic, his upper body leaned down, and he saluted in fear: "Little old man salutes the master." ”

Unexpectedly, he leaned halfway down, and was pulled up by Cao Jun.

"Uncle, I'm also half of Qinghe County, so you don't have to be polite to me."

Zhou Fugui was still standing in place cramped, and the corners of his mouth became dull for a while, "This ...... Master, you are a master, my room is messy, and I haven't cleaned up ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Cao Jun sitting at the wine table very unceremoniously, took the initiative to break a peanut, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhou Fugui saw that this master did not have the slightest shelf of his predecessors, so he hesitated in place for a while, and then sat back.

The two exchanged ideas while drinking the old wine provided by the hotel.

After a long time, Cao Jun retreated from Zhou Fugui's room.

His surprise visit was unexpected.

"Wutang Village?"

Why did the other party remind him to avoid Wutang Village?

Could it be that there is something special about this place?

Cao Jun read it in his mouth, as if he wanted to write down the name.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

Early in the morning, the master brought dozens of laborers over.

These are all local farmers who are to serve as conscripts, and they have been selected by the master to participate in the autumn hunting action organized by the county government throughout the whole process, which can be regarded as standard cannon fodder.

Of course, using it well is also a rare help.

Cao Jun and the other three, together with the officials who lived in the hotel, came to the backyard of the hotel to gather.

There are a few chairs in the courtyard, as well as a wooden table.

Cao Jun and the other three didn't know why, but after glancing at the master, they were invited by the latter to sit down on a chair.

As for the others, they can only stand against the foot of the wall.

The master shook his cuffs, took out three maps, and spread them out on the wooden table.

The latter politely raised his hand to the three of them, and said loudly: "This autumn hunting activity, the task is heavy and the time is tight, so the old man made his own opinion, and divided the three masters into three teams. ”

"Next, let's ask each of the three masters to choose a map."

Cao Jun and the other three took a look around the table, and found that each map had circled three areas with a brush, and if they chose different maps, they had to face different areas, which coincided with the previous strategy of dividing the soldiers into three ways.

Cao Jun glanced at each of the three maps.

On the first map, a long river channel was marked, along with some ditches on both sides of the river.

The river course is naturally the Qing River.

The second map shows large and small lotus ponds and lakes, as well as some small ditches, which are widely distributed.

The third map marks the smallest area, but the distribution span is large, mostly concentrated in some mountain villages.

Cao Jun's eyes rolled slightly, and the advice that Zhou Fugui gave him last night was still circling in his mind.

"Don't choose Wutang Village!"

Wutang Village, as the name suggests, must refer to a certain village, presumably there are some ponds around the village.

If you choose the second or third picture, you may run into it.

Cao Jun hesitated for a moment, immediately picked up the first picture, and explained to the other two at the same time: "I live by the Qinghe River, and I am most familiar with this piece, so I chose this map." ”

After Cao Jun chose the picture, the two people next to him were still hesitating.

The beggar and Zhiqiu Yiye are both outsiders, and they may have done some homework in advance and asked for some information, but they are temporarily cramming, how can they compare to the Cao Jun who is half an indigenous?

Zhiqiu Yiye is younger than a beggar, and his brain turns fast enough.

He saw that the second picture spanned very widely, and he was a little afraid of trouble, so he grabbed the third picture directly.

Unexpectedly, the beggar next to him shot faster than him, and although he was half a beat behind, he was still able to catch up with the latecomer and grasp the third picture in his hand in advance.

Most of the villages marked on this map are some villages, and it is inevitable to deal with some villagers, which is also a troublesome thing in normal times, but at this moment, with the county government's arrest and government officials in hand, the trouble has become convenient.

Maybe at the critical moment, you can ask these villagers to cooperate.

Because most of the targets marked on the second map are far from each other, with a large span and wide distribution, it will waste a lot of time just to run around, and they are unanimously eliminated by the two of them.

Zhiqiu Yiye didn't grab the third picture, so he couldn't do it, so he could only pick up the second picture stupidly.

The officials standing behind the three of them, seeing that the masters in their pictures had chosen the map, and obviously their respective tasks were on the map, they were very concerned for a while, and surrounded them.

"Wow! Wutang Village! ”

As soon as Cao Jun handed over the map in his hand to Liu Zhutou, he saw a servant gathered next to the beggar pronounce a familiar name.

The air in the backyard froze for a second before returning to normal.

As a local native, Liu Zhutou also stretched his head over and whispered in Cao Jun's ear: "That Wutang Village is very strange, but fortunately, Master Wolong didn't choose that picture." ”

Cao Jun was also a little curious for a while, wanting to ask carefully, but worried that the occasion was not appropriate, so he could only put aside the doubts in his heart.

Seeing that several people had chosen the map, the master also knew their respective tasks, and clapped his hands again and said: "You people, consciously divided into three teams, follow the three masters, and do things well. ”

Those laborers standing by the wall, some of them carried a flat pole, some had to hold a fishing net, and some caught a big rooster and brought it with them, and the tools were very unique.

Many of them have received some rumors and know that this event is to get rid of water ghosts, so the tools they bring are all related to killing ghosts.

Later, the master gave an order, and they were divided into three teams according to their heads, and they found familiar officials and stood behind Cao Jun and the other three respectively.

In the end, the magistrate asked people to take out three fast horses and hand them over to the teams for emergency communication.

Qinghe County said that it was not big, but it was not small, and it was necessary to run for half a day from the easternmost to the westernmost side.

In ancient times, there were no mobile phones and telephones, and fast horses became the most common means of transportation and communication.

After the tasks and manpower were distributed, the three of them, under the leadership of the officials, each received some ghost-removing props, including bells, talismans, black dog blood, etc.

It is said that these bells and talismans were opened by the county government in advance in nearby temples and Taoist temples, and I don't know if they worked.

With Liu Zhutou, the big housekeeper, by his side, there is no need for Cao Jun to worry about these trivial matters.

After a long day of hustle and bustle, at noon, the three teams were finally ready and set off separately.

On the side of the official road outside the county seat, the master also rented a small farm courtyard in advance and took Zhou Fugui and some other laborers to live in.

This is the base camp and liaison base for this autumn hunting operation.
