Chapter 496: Luring the Wolf into the House
Yu Xia was about to stick his head out to find the ginkgo tree they were talking about, when a sturdy villager stepped forward to lead their mule.
"I'll take you there!"
So they rode on mules and let the villagers lead them to the house next to the ginkgo tree.
Yu Xia rode on the mule and casually looked at the village.
The feng shui of this village is actually not bad, facing the water and leaning against the mountain, there are trees where there should be trees, there are ponds dug where the ponds should be dug, and the sitting position of the house is facing no fault.
It can be seen that he has been instructed by a master.
It is no wonder that the villagers of this village are not afraid of strange outsiders at all, but are very active and enthusiastic, and they must be a little confident.
The villager who led the mules for them was called Yang Dachun, the nephew of the village chief, and when he arrived at the door of the house, Dachun took two steps forward, and knocked on the courtyard door.
"Uncle Jin Shan, a guest is here!"
The door of the courtyard creaked open, and a middle-aged woman with a gloomy face stepped out of it.
Yu Xia was surprised, and saw the woman standing in the doorway, bowing inside the door over and over again.
"Brother Jinshan, thanks to you this time!"
Yu Xia looked inside the door and saw that there was a gray-haired old man standing inside.
The old man was full of smiles, and when he saw the woman's movements, he quickly helped her up.
"It's all from the villagers, and it's right to help, so why be so polite."
Da Chun playfully pulled the mule to the side and stood aside silently.
When the old man finished politely greeting the village woman, the village woman also turned around and went home, and the old man moved his eyes to Da Chun and the others.
"Da Chun's nephew, who are these two?"
Da Chun hurriedly stepped forward to introduce Yu Xia and the others.
"Passing by?"
Yang Jinshan looked at Yu Xia and Cheng Buchi, and nodded to them.
"Da Chun, you just let them live in your house, so that they can entertain guests, if you lack anything, just go to me to get it, you know?"
Da Chun immediately grinned.
"Got it, Uncle Jinshan!"
Yu Xia and they lived in Da Chun's house.
"Brother Dachun, why do you have to ask the village chief first if someone is staying overnight?"
Yu Xia felt a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the villagers are willing to stay overnight, so they will directly open the door to stay overnight. Fang Dachun took them to see Yang Jinshan, and the whole process was clearly to ask for Yang Jinshan's consent.
But Yang Jinshan doesn't seem to be a selfish person, he never mentioned the intention of asking for benefits from beginning to end, and he also said that he would naturally make up for what he lacked, and he should be very enthusiastic to the guests.
This approach is puzzling.
Great spring music.
"Hey, don't get me wrong, Uncle Jin Shan is actually the most enthusiastic, for fear that we will snub the foreign guests."
Da Chun took Yu Xia and the others home, called his mother-in-law to add two dishes, and took them to an empty house.
"I think you two look like uncles and nephews, it's okay to live in the same room, right?"
Yu Xia and the others naturally have nothing to find fault with, thank you for the big spring.
Da Chun talked about the reason.
"The people of our Yangtou Village are born to be hospitable, and in the past, anyone who had a way to stay would take the initiative to take them in, and they would be entertained with good food and drink, so I hope that these people who are wandering outside can be comfortable."
Da Chun said this and sighed.
"But people's hearts are unpredictable, and blindly maintaining kindness to people will eventually invite disaster."
It turned out that five years ago, a villager took in a ragged businessman.
The merchant said that he had become separated from his convoy and had gotten lost here alone, hoping to stay here for a while and wait for his companions to find him.
The villagers were always very enthusiastic about the victims, and the villager gave him the cleanest house, and took out his new quilt to cover him, and saw that the merchant was haggard, and slaughtered the chicken that laid eggs at home and stewed soup to replenish his body.
"The merchant had lived in Sheep's Head Village for two months, and he knew everyone in the village, but whenever he had something, someone volunteered to help him do it."
Two months later, a caravan suddenly came to the village, and the merchant was glad that his companion had come to him at last. Before the villagers could rejoice in him, they saw the men on the horse raise their butcher's knives against them. ”
That day was a catastrophe for the people of Sheep's Head Village.
Yang Jinshan's father, the original village head, Yang Yirong, died under the knife of the bandits on that day in order to protect the villagers.
"It is said that there is a treasure in our village that the bandits have taken a fancy to, and asked Grandpa Rong to hand it over, but if there is a treasure, how can our village be so poor? I really can't take it out, and those bandits are killing in Yangtou Village. Later, Grandpa Rong let us hide in the grain cellar under the ancestral hall, and he went desperately with the group of bandits, and then the bandits didn't find what they wanted, so they left, but Grandpa Rong died. ”
Naturally, Yang Yirong was not the only one who was killed.
Many fathers, brothers, sisters and even children died tragically in that disaster.
Since then, the population of Sheephead Village has shrunk by nearly half.
Since then, all guests who want to stay in the village must let the newly appointed village head Yang Jinshan take a look and agree.
"It's strange to say, since that day, Uncle Jin Shan has a particularly powerful ability to recognize people, and those with bad conduct and bad intentions can hardly hide from his eyes. Once, a villager was greedy for money and took in a scholar who Uncle Jin Shan did not agree, but the scholar actually took advantage of the night to try to defile his daughter, but fortunately, it was later discovered that it did not cause a big disaster, that is, from that time, the villagers were convinced by Uncle Jin Shan. ”
Da Chun didn't have any heart, and told Yu Xia and the others everything he knew, which was probably out of trust in Yang Jinshan, and he was not afraid that Yu Xia and the others would have bad intentions, so he had no intention of hiding it.
Yu Xia smacked out some other meanings from Da Chun's words.
However, Hengzhu's matter has nothing to do with herself, she just plans to spend the night, and she will leave tomorrow, this villager is simple and simple, and the feng shui is also good, and it is not her turn to worry about it.
Yu Xia thought it was good.
As a result, something happened that night.
In the middle of the night, Yu Xia was sleeping in a daze, when she heard someone bang on the courtyard door.
Then there was a rush cry from outside the door, Yu Xia slept in a daze, and didn't hear clearly for a while, but Cheng Buchi, who was sleeping on the bench, immediately jumped up.
"Something's wrong!"
Yu Xia also immediately got dressed and got up.
When he went out, the courtyard door of Da Chun's house was wide open, and the woman of his family was coming out with the child in her arms, neatly dressed, and it seemed that she had been specially dressed.
Yu Xia swept around, but didn't see Da Chun's figure.
"Sister-in-law Dachun, what's going on?"
Da Chun's sister-in-law had a good impression of the overnight guests, and when she heard Yu Xia ask, she immediately had an anxious look on her face.
"Just now, the noble brother came over and said that Uncle Jin Shan had a stroke in the middle of the night! Da Chun is helping to call people from house to house. ”
