Chapter 3: Devouring

It's not the busy season for farming, but the people of the village still go to the fields as usual.

The wheat harvest has been completed, and the village is planted with corn and other crops as usual. Originally, this thing was not available in the Great Zhou, but later when the Western Regions countries offered tribute, they also sent corn seeds, so they began to be planted in various parts of the Great Zhou.

Corn matures relatively quickly, and is generally harvested in autumn after sowing in summer.

The days of the farmer are dull, and when they meet in the field, they are busy with their own work just by saying hello. Gubei Village is regarded as the Gyeonggi area, and officials from all over the country have imperial history staring at it, and they dare not collect excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they dare not be arrogant when they meet some older people, for fear of being provoked by the imperial history.

Ni Fulong is in his fifties, and his health is not as good as before.

Ni Fulong squatted in the field, his family did not have much land, just planted some vegetables and sold them to the big families in the county, although the money sold was not much, but fortunately, the second son was angry, and asked for a history official in the county.

Ni Fulong is going to prepare some money at the end of the year and go to the county town to tell his second son about his relatives. Although the classic history has not entered the stream, under the county order, in addition to the county and the main book, it is the largest in the classic history, and the size is also considered to be an errand in the yamen, and it is also necessary to find a better girl.

However, Ni Fulong thought of his eldest son, and he sighed again.

People say that the eldest son is the pillar of the family, but when he arrives at his house, it is the other way around. The eldest son has been naughty since he was a child, Ni Fulong has a high vision, and he knows that studying is the only way out, so he gritted his teeth and let his two sons enter a private school.

Who knew that Boss Ni had been reading for a few days, and then he began to slip away every day. Ni Fulong also knew his son's character, so he asked him to herd cattle. As long as there is a good person in the family, it is a big deal that Boss Ni can farm with him.

But who knows, Boss Ni's mind is not on this. With some money, he secretly went to the green building and gambling hall in the county seat. Because of this, Ni Fulong was not less angry.

But if you are angry, you will be angry, and your son still has to take care of it. Ni Fulong beat his son a few times, and now he is more honest and will help with farming, but as soon as he has spare time, he goes to the county town to wander around, which makes him waste his mind.

"I heard that this kid is mixed up with the gang of splashes in the county, alas, I don't know whose daughter can take a fancy to him."

Ni Fulong took out a sip of wine from his arms and poured it into his stomach, sighed slowly, and simply stopped thinking about it.

Boss Ni is not young, but he still lives in a rented house. Ni Fulong opened the door early in the morning, but he didn't see anyone. I was puzzled, but looking at the neat bedding, I knew that this kid was not in the house at night at all, and I was afraid that he would go to the county town to mess around.

was about to get up and continue to work, Ni Fulong suddenly noticed that someone was watching him.

He looked up and looked around.

In front of him was a cliff, and behind him was a barren forest. Originally, he planted some vegetables, and he didn't need much land, so he was divided into the middle of the mountain.

"Delusion?" Ni Fulong muttered, but the hoe in his hand was clenched.

The sun was on the third pole, and the sound of rustling behind him was getting closer and closer, and Ni Fulong finally felt that something was wrong.

He turned his head, and just as a man came out of the woods. Ni Fulong saw the human face and immediately relaxed.

It was Boss Ni who came out of the woods.

But he was dressed in rags, covered in dirt and scars, and had a shocking scratch on his leg.

Ni Fulong knew at a glance that his eldest son was making trouble in the Lake District again. Maybe you got into a fight with someone in the county town and was beaten up.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't get angry. His second son was a historian who was in charge of arrests and prisons. Therefore, sometimes I will take care of my eldest brother. If it weren't for this, Boss Ni would have squatted in the prison of the county government a long time ago.

Ni Fulong didn't ask his son what he did, picked up the hoe in his hand and beat it, scolding: "What did you do when you went out at night, did you fool around with that group of bastards in the county again?" ”

Ni Fulong scolded fiercely in his mouth, but he still grasped the measure in his hands, he took the hoe upside down, and did not touch his son with the sharpest side of the hoe.

No matter how Ni Fulong whipped, Boss Ni was like a clay sculpture, always silent.

He was approaching Ni Fulong step by step, his eyes glazed.

Ni Fulong's eyes blinked: "You were beaten in the head?" Lao Tzu is talking to you, set up there for me! ”

Maybe it was because he understood what Ni Fulong said, and Boss Ni stood in place. Seeing his son's down-and-out appearance, Ni Fulong wanted to fight but was a little reluctant, his wife left early, and he never renewed, only the two sons he had been thinking about.

"You're not young, why don't you know how to be sensible. Your brother is busy in the county government and has no time to take care of you. Can't you be honest with me in the village? We don't have a lot of land here, but that's also a guy for eating. If you can't even plant the fields, what kind of work do you expect to get in the future? ”

Ni Fulong tried hard to persuade him, but he didn't expect his bastard son to understand.

Suddenly, Ni Fulong sensed that something was wrong with his son.

He usually behaves as a child, even if he lectures himself, he doesn't care about listening to it. But today, it was like the sun coming out of the west, so he stood straight in place and listened to Ni Fulong's speech.

Ni Fulong raised his head slowly, and his eyes suddenly widened.

In Boss Ni's two eye sockets, there were lifeless eyes. There was a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. This is not ordinary oozing blood, but gradually coming out of the mouth.

But what is even more terrifying is that his skin is very dark and has no luster at all.

Ni Fulong suddenly thought that after seeing his son, he never saw him say a word.

"Boss, you ......" Ni Fulong wanted to ask if his son had been beaten.

But the next moment, he suddenly found that Boss Ni opened his mouth.

There was a piece of flesh and blood on his teeth. It's like a wild man who drinks blood, suddenly revealing a hideous face.

He's like a terrible ghost crawling out of hell.

Ni Fulong died, and he didn't expect that it was his son who killed him.

Boss Ni kicked his father to the ground, and he reached out and frantically tore his father's neck.

Ni Fulong struggled hard, but Boss Ni's strength was too great, and there was no way to break free. His consciousness was blurring, and he couldn't understand why his son wanted to kill him.

Ni Fulong fell to the ground, and he could no longer feel the sensation of his body.

"What the hell is wrong with him?"

Ni Fulong didn't believe that his eldest son would kill him, even if this eldest son usually had bad deeds, but he was still filial.

He tried to turn his head, but he was numb and couldn't move.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a dry ground.

"It's weird, this place was fine just now......"

The ground that Ni Fulong had just hoeed had now become dry and began to crack.

Following Ni Fulong's gaze, a huge crack formed by drying up went down the land to the edge of the cliff.

The moisture of the land is losing at a rapid rate!
