Volume 1 A Little Mountain Village in the Cracks Chapter 14 Returning with Joy
Tang Yi hurriedly raised his head and looked at Mantou Mountain, and after the tea, a large group of people came out of the mountain forest. One hundred and forty or fifty people led two small donkeys, one carrying two boxes, and the other carrying two bags of hemp.
As soon as he got out of the forest, a big man rushed out of the crowd and shouted at the ridge: "Dog baby!"
The little doll on the ridge who was wearing a belly pocket and was being shot by the old man heard the scream, first stunned slightly, and then ran to the big man, shouting as he ran: "Daddy, daddy!"
The little baby is not yet two years old, just able to walk steadily, running is crooked, not to mention the potholes on the ridge, not to run two steps, the little baby fell into the ditch that was changed at noon. Although the water in the ditch has dried up, the mud at the bottom of the ditch has not yet dried.
The little baby got into the mud and came out covered in yellow mud. The little baby didn't care, wiped her face and ran towards the big man again, causing everyone to laugh.
Tang Yi laughed twice, then lowered his head and poured the ground again.
This group was apparently one of the three hunting teams that went out of the village, but it was not known which one it was. If it was the two teams led by the little divine doctor and Li Laosan, it would be nothing if Tang Yi stepped forward to say hello, but if it was the one led by the clan elder, he would be bored in the past.
I can't tell if the patriarch will let people take him down and send him to Valan Village.
In the past few days, the few elders with inconvenient legs and feet left behind in the village have not given him a good face, and while eating the elk meat he brought back, they scolded him for being an ungrateful little cub. Even his cheap old man was not less scolded, but this old master who loved to reason with him didn't dare to reply a word.
Leaving only one sentence of 'gentleman frank' and turned away, Tang Yi knew that this old gentleman was afraid of those clan elders. Didn't you see that since then, Li Lao has walked around those people every time?
In fact, it's not that Li Lao hasn't tried to be reasonable, but there is no way, let what you say, others just scold, scolding while eating. In the end, he poured an ear of pickled rice and didn't say anything, and he also talked about a dry mouth and an empty stomach, but others ate a round belly.
What's even more annoying is that before leaving, I have to ask you 'what did you say just now', but the reason is that I can't get into my ears.
Worried about what's coming, this hunting team that came back first was indeed the team led by the clan elder. Tang Yi didn't go to say hello, but it didn't mean that people wouldn't look for him, they had seen Tang Yi as early as when they got out of the mountains and forests, but they didn't recognize him at that time, so no one came to say hello.
Knowing him at this moment, the patriarch immediately sent someone to invite him.
He also knew the person who came to invite Tang Yi, who was originally a member of Li Laosan's hunting team, and the oldest one seemed to be called Goudan. When the dog came over, he smiled, and first pulled a couple of words with Tang Yi, and then said that the clan elders invited each other. Tang Yi didn't really want to go, it wasn't that he was afraid of those clan elders, with his current strength, why should he be afraid of a bad old man who was only in the Yuan Qi realm?
It's really that he doesn't want to have another conflict with these clan elders.
In the past, Tang Yi had thought about killing Valan Village and exhausting those bandits, but after he became a warrior, he lost this idea. Even if you have a 3,000-year-old Dao Protector, what can you do? Wait for the other party to fight back when he is tired?
Hehe!
Now Tang Yi will only say that he was too naïve at the beginning.
With his current cultivation at the peak of the True Martial Realm, after Haoran's True Qi was consumed, it would only take half an hour to recover. Will those Yuanwu Realms be faster? Not to mention that there is more than one Yuanwu Realm in Valan Village!
In addition to the two village masters in the middle of the Yuanwu Realm, there are still eight powerhouses in the early stage of the Yuanwu Realm.
Seeing that Tang Yi was a little hesitant, Goudan took the shovel in Tang Yi's hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The clan elders are not looking for trouble with you, they are thanking you!"
Thank?
Tang Yi was slightly stunned, frowning and looking at the elders of the clan who were talking with the old master on the ridge. Judging from the old master's face and proud expression, the clan elders did not seem to have malicious intent.
Tang Yi was slightly puzzled, but still walked towards the ridge. As soon as he walked to the ditch on the edge of the ridge, before he stepped on the ridge, the elders lined up and bowed deeply to him.
"Clan elders, this is ......" Tang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and helped those clan elders up one by one.
After a clan elder who scolded Tang Yi the most fiercely, he got up and smiled heartily at him: "Tang boy, you can accept this gift with peace of mind." If it weren't for the crossbow made by your kid, our village's income might not be thousands a year, but now guess how much we earned this trip?"
Without waiting for Tang Yi to guess, the clan elders called out the answer with a happy face.
"A whole thousand taels of snowflakes of white flowers! God, our village couldn't earn so much in the past year, so this trip asked us to earn it back." ”
Everyone thanked Tang Yi happily and praised the power of the crossbow, but as they spoke, they changed their flavor and began to praise the clan elder who led the team.
What is really a veteran out of the horse, the sixth brother is a thousand taels as soon as he makes a move, and Li Laosan's most kid only brought back four hundred taels.
What old rivers and lakes are old rivers and lakes, you young people should learn more.
And what kind of treasure knife is not old or something.
In the end, the clan elder and the old master, surrounded by all the clan elders and villagers, went back to the village to hold a banquet. How big a feast does this have to be to show festivity?
As for Tang Yi, if you have a cheap son, who cares about your son? I haven't heard enough of these sycophants, so your son will honestly water the ground.
Under the arrangement of the old master, Tang Yi returned to the ridge and continued his great cause of irrigation. Of course, the villagers had returned, so naturally they would not let him be left alone with the farm work, except for the women and a few strong men, the rest of the people were left in the fields by the clan elders.
The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, and a few families are happy and a few are sad.
When the lights of Lijia Village were bright, when the cup was changed, another place was gloomy, and this place was Yuhuang Ao.
There was originally a night banquet tonight, and the banquet was attended by almost all the village chiefs and sect heads in Shili and Eight Townships. Of course, in a village like Lijia Village, which is at the bottom of ten miles and eight townships, no one will notify you. When you get the news yourself, you can prepare a gift if you want to come, and no one will pay attention if you don't want to come.
The chiefs and heads of the villages were also very respectful, and they came with gifts at noon, and sat in the banquet hall until now, waiting for the old man to come to the banquet after nightfall.
It's just that before the night banquet began, the old man, who had been indispensable for three years, fell ill.
The village chiefs were a little surprised, because the old man had appeared in the afternoon, and he looked very tough, and he was obviously over eighty years old, but he looked like he was forty or fifty. How can such a tough old man say that he is sick?
But everyone has curiosity, and these old village chiefs, whose average age is over sixty years old, are no exception, or they are more inquisitive than those young leaders, after all, this is a major matter related to the survival of their village!
What is the purpose of recruiting the big guys this time? Isn't it just to deal with Valan Village?
In case something happens that they don't know, causing them to blindly bet on the wrong treasure, the thousands of lives of the whole village will be put into it. Those kings in Waran Village are not good men and women, they can really kill people, and they slaughter the village at every turn, even the infant children are not spared!
Gradually, I really guessed an idea for these village chiefs.
Some people say that they saw the old man looking for the old man, and then the old man fell ill, and some people say that the old man fell ill after the housekeeper gave him a letter.
There is also a head who said that he has a nose and eyes, and he said that the old man is not sick at all. He went to the toilet and went the wrong way, and inadvertently went around the old man's door, and heard things being smashed in the room, but it was fierce. also said that he heard the old man scolding the village chief of Yuhuang'ao and scolded him for giving birth to an unfortunate son.
Hearing this, these village chiefs who were monkey spirits on weekdays finally came to a conclusion: The proud son of the sky who bathed in the phoenix pass, the young man who worshiped under the old immortal sect, something was wrong, something was wrong! Maybe that kid accidentally offended the old immortal master and was killed by the old immortal master with a palm.
Those big villages are okay, after all, the family is big, as long as you don't bet indiscriminately, it doesn't matter if you eat a meal. The village chiefs of several small villages panicked, and they all found all kinds of reasons, and said goodbye to the housekeeper and left, without even daring to say anything like 'I wish the old man a speedy recovery'.
At this time, the old man had already calmed down his anger, and looked at his son who was standing in front of him cautiously with an expressionless face. He has looked down on this son since he was a child, and if he hadn't given birth to a good grandson, the old man wouldn't even let him be the village head.
Seeing that so many people had run away, and this unfortunate son was still here, the old man was irritable, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you go out." The night banquet still has to continue, and we can't lose the etiquette of bathing in the phoenix!"
"Dad, it's all at this time, what's the etiquette and rudeness, that Qi'er...... Qi'er he's ...... Daddy, he's your eldest grandson, you can't leave him alone!" As he spoke, the village chief, who was in charge of the Yuhuang Pass alone, actually showed a cry.
The old man saw that his son was not angry, but he still felt sorry for his grandson, so he was in a slightly better mood, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "They are all the heads of a village, what are you crying like? Don't worry, didn't Qi'er say it in the letter? He is coming back." ”
"Our Zhou family's Qilin'er is coming back! The sky of ten miles and eight towns can't collapse!"
After the old man turned around and pulled the broken porcelain pieces on the table to the ground, he sat down on the Taishi chair slowly, and said, "When Qi'er comes back, it will be the time when Valan Village will fall." Go with confidence!"
The old man waved his hand again, and his unruly son wiped his tears, poured a cup of tea for his father, and turned to go out.
