Chapter 29: The Wind and Cloud of Moon Lake Village (Ask for Recommendation and Collection)
After crossing the Li River, at the dock of Yongcheng, Ouyang Qianzhi and the Ouyang family's fleet were separated. She and Fang Yunhu walked through Yongcheng together and rushed to the northwest.
On this day, it was dark and I rushed to a small village called Yuehu Village. The people here are simple and the environment is elegant. The village is backed by a moon-shaped lake. It's called Yuehu Village.
They decided to rest here and then set out on their way. In the middle of the night, I slept soundly at the village chief's house. Suddenly I was awakened by the sound of a gong being struck. I got up and went out to check, and found that the village chief had also woken up.
The village chief said that this gong was a warning to their village, and I was afraid that there was an invasion of foreign enemies. Most likely, it was a beast on the mountain next to the Moon Lake. They often intrude on the village in order to steal food.
After saying that, the village chief took his weapon and went. Fang Yunhu and Ouyang Qianzhi also rushed together to prepare to help. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found that the invasion was not the same as usual, it was a beast on the mountain. It's a group of black-clad and masked men.
They are all strong and ruthless, and they are killers when they make a move. Many of the villagers had been killed by them. The village is often attacked by wild beasts. Therefore, some simple fortifications were built at the entrance of the village. The intersection into the village is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. That's why it wasn't broken by them for a while, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ouyang Qian knew that the villagers were taking care of him, so he and Fang Yunhu sacrificed their lives to help. The two of them cultivated to a high level, and soon repelled the man in black. The man in black saw that there was a master who helped him suffer heavy losses, so he retreated.
After the men in black left, the village chief sent people to take turns on duty at night to prevent their counterattack. And Fang Yunhu and Ouyang Qianzhi also decided to help the village chief tide over the difficulties before leaving. The village chief is naturally willing to do this, and he is very grateful to the two of them, and treats them like guests. If it weren't for the two of them, Moon Lake Village probably wouldn't exist today.
Unexpectedly, after they stayed for four or five days, those men in black did not make any other moves.
Could it be that he was afraid of the two of them? Ouyang couldn't help but think about it first. But it doesn't look like it, they are decisive in killing, and they are by no means easy compromisers. I thought I was going back to call a helper and come again, but now there is no news, which is by no means a good thing. Maybe there are other conspiracies.
And this matter is also very strange, such a master, why would he embarrass a small village?
Ouyang Qianzhi called the village chief and asked him, "What is it that offended these people and caused this misfortune?"
The village chief said: "Our village is self-reliant and has never communicated with the outside world. Not to mention offending people. I don't know how these people will come to their small village and do this to these villagers. ”
At this time, suddenly a villager came to report to the village chief: "Village chief, the man in black is here." The village chief was shocked and asked, "How many people have come?" The villager said, "They only came one person, and they said they wanted to see you, the village chief." ”
Hearing that only one person came, Ouyang Qianzhi Fang Yunhu and the village chief were very puzzled. I don't know what they are going to do, so he said to the village chief, "Let's invite him in first, and see what he wants to do." The chief told the villagers to let the man in. That person was also dressed in black, with a great figure and profound cultivation. However, he has a mask on his face, and he does not know his face.
He proudly said to the village chief, "Hand over the tears of the birds." I'm in a good mood today, and I don't want to go on a killing spree, so I'll let these ants go here. If not, the whole village will not be left with chickens and dogs. ”
Ouyang Qianzhi couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he heard him say that the bird was crying. and Fang Yunhu glanced at each other, neither of them expected that they had just come to Daqin and encountered this matter. It seems that the so-called ban on not fighting for the tears of the birds has no effect. Their struggle has only gone from the surface to the underground.
The situation in front of them was much more complicated than they had imagined. A small village was involved. No wonder it attracts such a formidable enemy. I'm afraid today's things won't be good.
The village chief. Trembling and said: "This son, I don't know what the tears of the bird you are talking about? If we have this thing in our village, we are naturally willing to hand it over in exchange for our lives, but we have never heard of this thing, how can we give it to you?"
The man in black with the mask said, "Don't pretend to be the village chief, if you don't get the exact news, I will come to your small mountain village and waste my time." You'd better hand it over quickly, I'm impatient. ”
Ouyang Qianzhi didn't look like the village chief was lying. But this man, with such a strong force, has no reason to be embarrassed by a weak village for no reason. Could it be that there is some misunderstanding in this matter?
But no matter what, she must also stand by the village chief at this time. He stood up and shouted: "Shameless rats, don't you dare to see people when you hide your head and tail? If you want to kill these villagers, you must first ask me if the sword in my hand will agree." ”
"What you said, the village chief said that there is no is nothing. Even if there is, it is the village chief's thing, how can it be that you can take it if you want. How many people do you have today, let's come out together. As long as I win the sword in my hand. It's never too late for you to do whatever you want. ”
The man in black smiled and said, "No, no, I said that I was very happy today, and I didn't want to do it, let alone kill." Go and see your water source. When the time comes, it will be up to you to see if you can still have the same hardness as you are now. I'm giving you three days, and hopefully when the time comes, you'll deliver the things to me with both hands. After saying that, he floated away in a chic manner.
Hearing this, the village chief's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly sent the villagers to check the water sources everywhere. When the villagers returned, they said to the village chief: "Oh no, the village chief, our water sources are highly poisoned, and even the Moon Lake has become as black as ink." Our pigs, cows, and other animals died after only one sip of the water. ”
"In the past few days, the war has been tense, and the villagers have not bothered to go up to get water. So no one was poisoned. But there is not much water left in each house. No wonder he said he didn't want to do it, and now even if they don't, we're dead. ”
Hearing the villagers' words, the village chief not only hurriedly said, "How is this good?
Ouyang Qianzhi comforted him and said: "Village chief, don't worry, now that the villagers still have a little water at home, they should be notified first, so that the villagers can save a little and drink less water in the past few days." Let's be able to hold on a few more days, and then we'll figure it out slowly. With so many of us together, there will always be a way. ”
At this time, Fang Yunhu suddenly asked, "Village Chief, did they say that thing is really useless in your hands?"
The village chief said: "I really don't have what they say, and I haven't heard of it, if I had given it to them a long time ago, how could I hide it and choke on it?"
Hearing him say this, Fang Yunhu said again: "Then what are the precious things in your village, or do you have any valuable things in the hands of the village chief?" Or rather, your most precious thing?"
The village chief said, "No, the villagers of our village work every day just to make a living." I don't even have a lot of money, let alone money for anything valuable. ”
At this time, a villager on the side suddenly interjected: "If you want to say that there is one of the most precious things in our village, but it is very ordinary and not a valuable thing. ”
Hearing the villagers say this, the village chief suddenly shouted at him: "What nonsense? ”
You said to Ouyang Qianzhi: "Don't listen to his nonsense. There is nothing in our village. ”
Seeing the performance of the village chief and the villagers, Ouyang Qianzhi and Fang Yunhu both felt that this matter must be strange, so they said: "The village chief is at this time, you better take it out first, we don't want to rob your belongings." It belongs to you, and they came to snatch it, whether it is valuable or not, it is their fault. We will definitely help you and will never give anything to them. ”
"However, you also have to let us see if what you have in your hand is what they want, it is very involved, if it is a misunderstanding, it can be explained clearly, to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. We can't be so confused and provoke such a strong enemy, which is not good for you and the villagers. ”
The village chief said, "Okay, you come with me." In fact, it was not valuable, it was just a small porcelain vase, which was a relic of my father-in-law. ”
"Engong is a great benefactor in our small mountain village. He came to our village after he was injured and was rescued by us. Seeing that we are poor, we are often harassed by wild animals in the mountains. He helped us fight off the wild beasts, and went into the mountains to cut down rocks, and then we built this small village. Using the quarried boulders, we built some fortifications, and we were able to secure them. ”
However, Eungong eventually suffered too much of his injuries and died. And his body gradually disappeared, and in order to commemorate him, we regarded the relic he left behind, that is, this porcelain vase, as a treasure. It was offered in the ancestral hall. ”
Ouyang Qianzhi said: "Then what is in this porcelain bottle?"
The village chief said: "We don't know, we only know that this porcelain vase looks ordinary, and it doesn't look like something valuable. As for the contents of the house, we didn't open it to see what it was? Is there anything inside? Engong has a great kindness to us, and we have offered this porcelain vase to us as a gift kilometer to keep a memory. ”
That Ouyang Qianzhi said: "Can we take a look at that porcelain vase, maybe this is what they are looking for." ”
The village chief said, "Okay, I'll get it for you." But be careful not to damage the relics of Eun Gong. ”
After the village chief brought the porcelain vase, Ouyang Qian knew that the porcelain vase was the same as what the village chief said, it was really ordinary and not valuable. When I opened the porcelain bottle, there was a bottle of liquid, as light as water. It is not known what it is.
Ouyang Qianzhi handed the porcelain vase to Fang Yunhu, and Fang Yunhu looked at it and said, "This thing looks like water, but the appearance of tears is similar to water." I can't see anything special with the naked eye, whether it's what they said or not, the tears of the bird, I can't judge. ”
Ouyang Qianzhi said: "Since they are so sure, then there must be other ways to identify it, and this thing is very likely to be what they call the tears of the birds." But whether it's true or not, it's too much to do and it must not fall into their hands. ”
Fang Yunhu said: "I naturally know this, they don't look like good people at first glance, and they probably won't do anything good when they get this thing." ”
"But what are we going to do now? How to deal with them. ”
Ouyang Qianzhi said: "Let's go to Moon Lake first to see what kind of poison they are under, and if there is a way to resolve it." ”
Fang Yunhu said: "Okay, now it can only be like this, however, they are polluting a whole lake, not a well, even if we find an antidote, I'm afraid we won't be able to clean up the entire lake for a while." ”
The village chief said: "Yes, we have to find a way quickly, and Moon Lake is the upstream of the water source, it is not only related to our village, there are more than 50 villages downstream of it, if they are also harmed, then the death is not only our village." ”
Ouyang Qianzhi said: "These people are too ruthless. Let's take a look first and try to solve it as soon as possible. It really didn't work, so I fought with them and forced them to hand over the antidote. ”
