Chapter 39: Harm to others and oneself

Ji Shuxuan was of course happy when he heard this, but after thinking about it again, he was a little skeptical of the rich man's words, such a bad seed with sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet, how could he be willing to be kind to help himself today, thinking of what happened a few days ago, it is not difficult to understand that this rich man must be beating his wife's idea again.

However, he is renting other people's land, and the power is in his hands, so he can't offend him too much, and today he told himself so solemnly that if he didn't agree, he would inevitably be troubled by him in the future.

The rich man immediately ordered his subordinates to bring pen and ink, wrote another title deed for Ji Shuxuan, and exchanged the land.

When Ji Shuxuan went to the field to take a look, he secretly complained in his heart, and even called out, it turned out that this was a saline-alkali land, and the rich man did not tell the specific location at that time, and he was not allowed to go over to see it in advance.

Where is this for his own good, it is obvious that he is cheating me Ji Shuxuan, he will go back to find it, but the rich man only said that he does not know the details.

Ji Shuxuan wanted to exchange it back, but the rich man didn't agree anyway, saying that the contract in black and white had been signed, and there was a charge he drew on it, how could he change it casually?

Ji Shuxuan wanted to theorize again, but he actually ordered his family to blast him out.

Ji Shuxuan wanted to cry without tears, and had no way to sue, so he went home and told Chunzhu about it, and after Chunzhu heard it, he was so angry that he fell ill.

Ji Shuxuan inquired about others, only to learn that this land can't be planted at all, no matter how busy you are, when you come, you will definitely have no harvest and no return.

Ji Shuxuan was helpless, and he found the rich man again.

He originally thought that he would be scolded again and driven out of the house, but this time the rich man changed his face and said to him with a smile: "You just don't want this land, I have a way, I don't know if you agree?" ”

When Ji Shuxuan heard this, he thought to himself, as long as the land is returned, what can be done, so he asked the rich man what was the matter?

The rich man said three words: Tiger Wolf Valley.

Ji Shuxuan was puzzled, why did he mention Tiger Wolf Valley?

"Still don't understand?" The rich man asked him, "I want you to go there." ”

When Ji Shuxuan heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what to say after a while, he knew that place too well.

Where do you want me to farm?

The rich man saw Ji Shuxuan's doubts, smiled treacherously, and said to him: "It's a good thing that I want you to go there, one, I don't need you to pay rent, and two, I don't need to work hard-"

I don't have to pay rent, I don't need to contribute, so what do I have to do?

The rich man smiled again: "Actually, I have a request for you, and after the deed is completed, I will still have a reward here, and I will give you three taels of silver each time." ”

Ji Shuxuan was a little confused, his eyes stared at the rich man, waiting for the following.

The rich man continued: "I don't understand you very well, so I'll tell you straight, I want you to go there to take care of the ginseng for me, there is a piece of my ginseng cultivation field, for fear that others will dig it secretly, so let you go to guard it, you don't need to make any effort, in the autumn, I will send someone to collect it, and after the harvest, I will give you three taels of silver, what do you think?" ”

When Ji Shuxuan heard this, he knocked on the big gong in his heart, where is the good thing, this is clearly making up a way to frame me, Tiger Wolf Valley is terrifying when he hears this name, there are often poisonous snakes and beasts infested, this is something that everyone knows, when I get there, needless to say to look at the ginseng, it is very dangerous to take a walk.

Thinking about it, Ji Shuxuan's sweat came down.

When the rich man saw Ji Shuxuan's fear, his face suddenly sank, and he said sharply: "It seems that you are toasting and not eating, and you are punished for drinking, I will make it clear today, you have to go, you have to go, you have to go!" ”

When Ji Shuxuan heard this, he trembled with anger, but he didn't dare to attack, he knelt down for the rich man with a "plop" and begged the rich man: "For the sake of the villagers, you can spare me, if I go there, it will definitely be a dead end." So be it, and I will not return the land. ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave, but the rich man sneered twice: "Aren't you teasing Lord Ben, will you retreat for a while, and you will not retreat for a while, you are using me as a monkey?" ”

When Ji Shuxuan heard this, he trembled all over his body, and he didn't know what to do.

As he spoke, he ordered his family to tie him up and beat him until Ji Shuxuan was soft and told him to spare.

Ji Shuxuan limped home, Chunzhu was still fine when she saw her husband going, and when she came back, she became like this, she was surprised, and hurriedly asked him what was going on, Ji Shuxuan told his wife everything about Fang Cai, Chunzhu heard it, this rich man clearly wanted to force her husband to death!

The husband and wife hugged each other and cried.

Knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, and still going to Tiger Mountain, Chunzhu began to prepare for her husband.

Before leaving, the two agreed to call their husband's name three times every evening at the bottom of the mountain.

Ji Shuxuan had tears in his eyes and nodded in agreement.

Early in the morning, Ji Shuxuan set off.

The rich man also went out early to visit, and when he saw Ji Shuxuan walking up the mountain, he smiled happily.

Ji Shuxuan entered the mountain.

Here is a world of flowers, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, colorful rhododendrons bloom all over the spring mountains and autumn fields, plum blossoms, magnolia flowers, goddess flowers, famous flowers and flowers choose their own time, compete for beauty, it is not only the paradise of plants, but also the paradise of all kinds of birds and animals.

The birds raised their voices and sang mellow and sweet songs; Woodpeckers also beat the trunk to accompaniment, and from time to time taste the taste of moths; The common magpie stands on the branch, "chirping, good news".

There are many waterfalls of different shapes in the mountain, some of them are like white dragons flying down from the sky, magnificent; Some are like a white silk swaying frequently, elegant and handsome; Some of them seem to fly pearls and jade, fall to the stone floor, and the waves fly; There are also several degrees of folding and bifurcation, which are colorful and delicate, which makes people watch and admire. They gather trickling, mighty, and inexhaustible passions all year round, activating the canyon cliffs; They splash thick ink and make the vast forest even more lush.

Overlooking the green hills at your feet, the green water meanders and flows, and the infinite scenery is in full view. The clouds and mist in front of me, listening to the whirring mountain wind blowing, really have a feeling of running to a fairyland outside the world.

Ji Shuxuan had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of him, but sighed in his heart about his unfortunate fate, and from time to time he had to be vigilant against insects and beasts that might attack.

The bamboo forest is verdant and wild fruits are thick; Ancient trees are towering, moss-spotted, and vines entangled; In the forest, there are chestnut shells left by macaques, feces left by wild boars, and feathers torn off by pheasants. It's a volatile place with a treacherous environment. In the daytime, I often hear the roar of wild beasts, and often poisonous snakes hanging branches to block the way; At night, the wind howls in the ditch in the forest, and the spiritual light flickers, flickering bright and dark. It's off the beaten track and infested with wild beasts. There are folk sayings of "survival in the polar region", "ghost world" and "god and ghost kingdom". This is a primeval forest area, with magical stories and wonderful scenery, and it is an uncultivated paradise. Lengzhu Mountain is full of sweet May bamboo shoots, Ji Shuxuan has heard that the mountain people who come to pick bamboo shoots in the mountains have met the "human bear" eating bamboo shoots here, see this bear long hair shawl, grinning and smiling, standing in the bamboo forest, slowly walking, tall body, where it walked the bamboo fell down and the tree was broken.

Thinking of this made Ji Shuxuan shudder.

Ginseng, Ji Shuxuan has only heard of this kind of thing from the elders, and the countryside has never eaten it, where did this rich man get the seedlings from, and how did he grow them there.

However, this is not difficult to understand, mainly because he was afraid of being secretly dug up, so he thought of planting there.

Poor Ji Shuxuan, since he entered this treacherous mountain forest, people have never seen him come out again.

On the first day her husband left, Chunzhu came to the bottom of the mountain early and shouted Ji Shuxuan's name three times, and Ji Shuxuan's voice came from the mountain, which was also three times.

After hearing this, Chunzhu went back with confidence.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the village, I saw a black shadow flashing.

Chunzhu was agitated and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

At this moment, a villager walked by, and the black shadow immediately disappeared into the night.

Chunzhu hurriedly returned home, locked the door, and never dared to come out again.

After that, Chunzhu changed his method, and every time he came out, he led the big black dog, so that the black shadow never appeared again.

Don't think about it, that black shadow is the rich man, he saw that Ji Shuxuan had left, and he was very happy in his heart, and felt that from now on, Chunzhu would be his own.

Unexpectedly, Chunzhu really deserves to be a serious woman, since Ji Shuxuan left, she has never been in contact with any man, and she doesn't even speak much.

As for the rich man, let alone think about it.

The rich man still wanted to climb the wall as before, but found that it was no longer possible, because Chunzhu had already taken precautions against him, and had asked for help in advance, and planted thorns in the wall of his house, and the rich man was stabbed several times before he could climb to the top, which forced him to no longer dare to fight that idea.

Of course, the rich man would not stop there, and he began to think about poisoning the big black dog again, so that Chunzhu would be alone when he went down the mountain every day.

However, perhaps it was providence, and before he could carry it out, he got a strange disease, at first he scolded and beat people all day long, and then he talked nonsense, and in the end, he suddenly stripped himself naked and ran crazy in the streets, frightening women and children to avoid it.

One day three years later, he was alone in the house, and the ghost sent him to swallow the bag of * cream that he had bought before to poison the big black dog, and the result can be imagined, instead of harming the dog, he harmed himself, and ended his life of sin.

Let's talk about Chunzhu again, go to the bottom of the mountain and shout three times every day as promised, and then go home after hearing the echo.

In the first few days, she could still hear a clear answer, but later, she found that her voice was getting weaker and weaker, but since she could hear her husband's echo, it meant that he was still safe and sound, and Chunzhu didn't think much about it.

But day after day, month after month, although I could always hear my husband's voice, I did not see him return.

Chunzhu has a sense of foreboding.
