Yu Xia didn't ask the identity of the young man in the end, Yu Chun was shrewd and capable, and the young man welcomed her everywhere, and the eldest sister couldn't suffer if she wanted to.

Well...... If he dares to be sorry for the eldest sister, she must call him good-looking, Yu Xia thought in a daze before falling asleep.

On this day, Yu Xia and Yu Xian came back from clan learning, and guests came to the house.

There are two people sitting in the middle of the small hall of the Yu family, the two of them are dressed simply, and there is a servant standing behind them, Yu Dayou and his wife are standing aside, and Yu Chun is pouring water for the guests.

The small place suddenly seemed extra crowded.

"Master Cao?" Yu Xia saw the person sitting on the right with a happy smile at a glance, glanced at his face, and sighed lightly, "Maybe it's time to change your words?" ”

This is Cao Mao, the chief bookkeeper who had a relationship with Yu Xia for the kidnapping of the child, but he was full of energy, his face was full of joy, and the official Lu Palace was prosperous, but he was the face of the official fortune Henglong.

Sitting at the top was a man in his thirties who looked like a scribe, his appearance was ordinary but he had an air of elegance, and when he heard Yu Xia's words, he immediately stroked his palm and smiled, "The little girl is right, now it should be called Cao Xiancheng." ”

Previously, Lu Bingsheng and Lu County Cheng were implicated by the Chen family, and the position of the county Cheng was vacant, Cao Mao filled the vacancy, and controlled the money, grain, taxes and other matters under the original jurisdiction, and worked with the Wen County Order with one heart and one mind, which can be said to be in power, and the spring breeze is proud.

Cao Mao picked up the stoneware bowl and drank it very naturally, and said with a smile, "Miss Yu Xia, this is our Wenxian Order. ”

Yu Xia respectfully saluted, Wen Yun's voice was kind, "Miss Yu Xia doesn't need to be polite, she took the liberty to come here today, she really has something to ask for." ”

When Yu Xia entered the door, he saw Wen Xianling's eyes red, his face haggard, and a blue and black color between his eyebrows and eyes.

Just now, Yu Xia's hand convinced Wen Yun of Yu Xia's ability, and seeing her calm appearance at this moment, he had a little more confidence in her.

Cao Mao gave up his hand to Yu Dayou and his wife, "I came here today to discuss with Ling Ai, and I hope you two will forgive me." ”

Although Yu Dayou was a little puzzled, he quickly waved his hand and said eagerly, "It should be." After speaking, he pushed Yang Cuilian and a pair of children out of the house.

Cao Mao glanced at the servant behind Wen Xianling, and the servant retreated from the house knowingly.

Yu Xia's eyes flashed slightly, this was to prevent her family from eavesdropping, and she was a little curious about what Wen Xian Ling asked for.

However, Cao Mao's separation of her family was exactly what she wanted, and she was afraid that her family would know what she had done, which would make her family more worried.

There were only three people left in the house, and Wen Xian Ling told Yu Xia what he meant.

It turns out that a few days ago, Wenxian County ordered a group of people to reclaim wasteland, although Jintan County is located in the south of the Yangtze River, rich in products, but rice grain is still a precious thing, the villagers pay the tax and there is little left, more villagers in order to live, will choose to sell the surplus grain, in exchange for cheaper inferior rice grain, most of the villagers eat coarse grain noodles, can reach the food and clothing line.

The reclaimed wasteland was selected at the foot of an uninhabited mountain in the northwest of Jintan County, where the soil was gravel and not easy to store water.

Sweet potatoes are hardy, like sandy soil, easy to feed, and have a higher yield than rice. Wen Yun had previously found a piece of land to try planting, and the results were considered feasible. He planned to make use of the uninhabited wasteland in the northwest to alleviate the hunger and food problems of the people.

Wen Yun requisitioned 20 people out of his own pocket, and he was fine for the first few days, but on the third day, when he ploughed the ground, a corner of the coffin was exposed.

No one thought that a coffin would be buried in that wasteland.

The reason why wasteland becomes wasteland is that in addition to the large amount of gravel, the geology is also relatively hard, making it difficult to excavate. It is precisely because of this that the Wenxian Decree selected twenty strong people to excavate and loosen the soil first.

Who knows, a coffin will be dug up.

The farmer who dug up the coffin was startled, but the coffin was buried in the soil like this, and there was no grave or tombstone, which was a bit weird. But if you really want to talk about it, if you count back one or two thousand years, no one can guarantee that there is no land where no one has ever been buried. So Wen Yun didn't go to his heart, half of the wasteland had been reclaimed, and it was impossible to choose a new site, so he asked people to dig up the coffin, find another place to bury it, and find a monk to do a ritual, and make amends to him for disturbing his purity.

Unexpectedly, something strange happened that night.

A folk man is crazy.

That night, the family was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard a woman's scream, coming from the people's husband Wang Tie's house, the family heard the sound and rushed over, but saw Wang Tie's mouth full of blood, and his mouth moved up and down and did not know what he was chewing. Wang Tie's wife was covered with blood, covered her face and said in horror, "He bit off the flesh on my face!" ”

It turned out that he was chewing his wife's meat in his mouth!

As soon as Wang Tie's wife finished speaking, Wang Tie moved his throat and swallowed the contents of his mouth. Turning his head stiffly to look at everyone, a hideous smile appeared on his face, "That's a lot...... Meat, good ...... Delicious. ”

Wang Tie's tone was strange, his speech was like a big tongue, intermittent, and even his voice seemed to be squeezing his throat, sharp and sharp, making people feel chills down his spine.

When the children saw him like this, they immediately burst into tears.

"Heh, heh...... Tender ......" Wang Tie rolled his eyes, stared at the children, the corners of his mouth curved up, and he grinned, but his eyes were still round and staring at people, indescribably weird.

"Iron baby? What's wrong with you? Wang Tie's own mother, the gray-haired old lady, only thought that her son was sleepwalking, so she stepped forward and reached out to pull him.

"Ahh There was another scream in the room, and the old lady covered her hands, but blood kept pouring out from between her fingers, and the old lady trembled and screamed, "My fingers! My fingers! Find a doctor! ”

Wang Tie still bent the corners of his mouth, his mouth squeaked and chewed non-stop, as if he was eating crispy bones, and finally, the chewing action stopped for a moment, and he spit something on the ground in his mouth.

It was half the size of a copper coin, transparent and yellowish in color, stained with blood, and with some red slag, and it was like two pieces of human fingernails! The red crumbs are chewed bones!

The old lady reached out to grab her son, but was grabbed by her son and bit off two fingers.

Before, the daughter-in-law covered her face and told her that she didn't feel anything, but now that this happened to her, the old lady was in pain and fear, and she lost too much blood, and fainted as soon as her eyelids rolled.

In the end, the strong men were not frightened, and they worked together to subdue Wang Tie and tie him up, and the next day they were sent to the county government to make trouble.

Originally, Wang Tie was fine, but something happened when he was requisitioned by the county magistrate to reclaim wasteland, so Wang Tie went home and said that he dug up a coffin during the day! This is clearly an evil one!

Wen Xian Ling was afraid that the matter would cause panic among the people, so he hurriedly welcomed people into the back office, Wang Tie was tied up with a thick hemp rope, and he didn't struggle, he just grinned straight all the time, revealing the flesh and blood that had not been swallowed in his mouth, and staring straight at them with his eyes.

"Both...... Damn, can't hide...... over. ”

Wang Tie laughed strangely, which provoked the people in front of the yamen to probe frequently, and Wen County's order couldn't, so he had to ask someone to take a ball cloth and block his mouth.

Wen County Ling found a doctor for Wang Tie, this doctor Liu is an old man from He'an Hall, with good medical skills and few words, and he will never talk nonsense about the patient's situation. Last time, he was also called to be treated in the Chen family, but the rumors came from other doctors.

At this time, the blood stains on the side of Wang Tie's mouth had been cleaned up, and his family directly carried people over in order to make trouble, and Wen Xian Ling was afraid of scaring the doctor, so he wiped the blood stains in advance and gagged his mouth with a cloth, so as not to let the doctor see what was in his mouth.

Dr. Liu asked Wen County about the illness, and Wang Tie's family said everything you and me.

"Where is he sick, it's clear that he's hit an evil spirit!"

Wen Xian Ling glanced at them coldly, and the servants behind him grabbed the knife and were about to step forward, only then did the Wang family react, they were shouting at the county magistrate, and they finally knew that they were afraid, and they reluctantly shut up.
