Chapter 24: Bayonets!
It is a high slope with a new wooden house on top of it. It can be seen that this house covers an area of at least three or four hundred square meters, with a height of two floors, and stands steadily. This is the residence of the former head of Nanjiao Village.
The biggest advantage of this residence is twofold: first, whenever the village chief wakes up in the morning, he only needs to open the door of the balcony on the second floor, and he can see the people under the high slope facing the morning sun to start a new day's work; Second, even if the flood washed away the entire village, the house would still be unharmed.
However, Yang Shenghua, the new head of Nanjiao Village, has no leisure and leisure, and more importantly, when he pushes the door and walks out of the balcony every morning, everything he sees is dirty mud and everything he smells of mildew. On the other hand, the new village chief, who was almost bankrupt, was full of how to open up sources and reduce expenditures at this time.
At the moment, he was in the office on the first floor, waiting a little impatiently.
Yang Shenghua is a middle-aged and elderly man in his forties and close to fifties, and his most notable feature is the two delicately groomed beards on his lips. Of course, people tend to flatter these two mustaches that match the heroism of the village chief, but no one dares to tell him honestly, he is already in a hurry, and after he has two beards, it is even more obscene.
While waiting, Yang Shenghua used to pinch his beard, gently pinching the edge of his beard with two fingers, and carefully rubbing it in the direction of the up. In this way, it can not only beat the time, but also make it have a sense of warping by the way. However, he did wait a little impatiently at this time, and the tail of his delicate beard was almost kneaded and forked.
His eyes were fixed on the two treasurers in front of the table, who were intently counting the income and expenditure. His eyes were about to bulge out like goldfish's eyes because of the preoccupation, and his throat rolled up and down, which was the expression of swallowing saliva. It is not difficult to judge how anxious Yang Shenghua is than a high school student who accompanies his girlfriend to the hospital to have a fetus and fidgets at the door of the operating room.
Suddenly, one of the financial officers stopped what he was doing, but lowered his head and estimated something, in fact, deep down he was waiting for his colleague to finish his calculations. Soon, the other financial officer also stopped moving, and the two quickly exchanged glances, and their faces were not very good-looking. The older one raised his head to meet the village elder's gaze.
The village elder not only had burning eyes, but even his voice seemed eager, "How is it, how much have you lost?!" β
The gaze was so hot that the treasurer did not dare to look directly and secretly looked away.
When the village elder saw this situation, his face gradually rose with a sense of iron, and he gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "I ask you, loss, loss, more, less?!" β
Sighing secretly, the treasurer also let go, stood up and bowed slightly, respectfully and carefully handed a bill-like paper to the village chief, and then stood down, and said softly: "Almost a hundred gold coins, ninety-eight gold coins to be exact." β
What the?! The village chief's hand subconsciously cramped, and he pulled out a hair directly from his beard, but he forgot the pain and froze on the spot, and his face seemed to be a dyeing shop, red, white, purple, and black changed one after another. After a full ten seconds, he finally let out a miserable scream, and others didn't know it, and they thought that someone had stripped a pound of flesh and blood from him.
"These imperial moths, the most inferior mud legs, and the people who have faced the loess all their lives, actually cost me a full ninety-eight gold coins! Ah, I'm going crazy, I'm really going crazy! β
In fact, it is no wonder that the village chief is out of shape, but the purchasing power of gold coins is quite considerable.
The monetary system of the Great 6 of Middle-earth is based on gold, silver and copper as the main equivalents, and the exchange rate is one hundred. That is, one gold coin is exchanged for one hundred silver coins and ten thousand copper coins. What can you buy with a copper coin? Four yellow and clear yellow valley steamed buns. One gold coin is 40,000 big steamed buns, and eating four at a meal is enough to eat 10,000 meals, which is almost ten years!
Seeing that the village elder's expression was not good, another financial official said in a whisper: "Actually, the loss of ninety-eight gold coins is already considered small. You see, it costs money to dredge rivers, it costs money to rebuild houses, and it costs money to drain roads......" he chattered and calculated, not knowing whether he was showing off his arithmetic talents or deliberately showing himself, anyway, the second-hand financial officer obviously didn't notice the village chief's expression on the verge of collapse.
The end of the finance officer was relatively tragic, first he was kicked out of the house by the village chief, and then he was thrown into the muddy ground by four members of the self-defense team, one arm and one leg.
Swinging off the annoying financial officer, Yang Shenghua sat down in a comfortable and wide chair. It seems that even God can't get along with him, a small nail suddenly fell off the big chair that has always been good, and Yang Shenghua's weight also has some weight, and he directly broke the backrest when he sat down, and fell directly backwards.
"Even you're bullying me?! How unreasonable! Enraged, the village elder got up and punched and kicked the chair until it was completely shattered.
Not long after, a man pushed the door open. Yes, he did not knock on the door first, as everyone else did, and then bow respectfully to enter, but naturally pushed open the door and entered as if he were at home. This man is very thin, and his arms and thighs that are occasionally exposed in the cloak can be seen that he is really thin.
However, this kind of thinness is not the same as the emaciation of bamboo poles, but the thinness of the skin and flesh tightly attached to the bones. The footsteps between walks are not too large or small, giving a sense of precision and naturalness, and the gaze is always subconsciously wandering, and always lingering for a while when landing on a corner, behind a door, etc., where there is coverβit is an instinct honed in battle, instinctively looking for cover.
This man was the sheriff recruited by the village chief, who had been in the border guards for a long time with bayonets. The bayonet was not very old, only thirty-five years old, and he did not look ugly, but he was particularly cold.
Pushing the door in, the bayonet saw the ravaged and tattered chair, and the corners of his mouth made a slight invisible arc, I don't know whether it was ridicule or sarcasm or something else. Standing up straight, the bayonet said lightly: "Yang Shenghua, I want to tell you three things. β
For Yang Shenghua, the financial income is already very distressing, and the nature of the bayonet is to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and every time it is also an important thing, so it makes him feel even more restless that he wants to pull his beard off. However, he knew the identity of the bayonet, and no matter what, he did not dare to express his anger lightly. I saw Yang Shenghua take a deep breath, and then put on a smile: "Just say anything directly." I will try my best to be satisfied if I can help. β
The bayonet tugged at the corners of his mouth as a polite response, and then said: "First of all, since the day before yesterday, there have been three fewer members in my self-defense team. Although these three guys are at best the dirt bag bullies in the village, they are often on duty together, and it is impossible for them to leave the team lightly and not return for a long time. I think you need to pay attention. β
"The second thing, for the past two days, every time after nightfall, something strange will happen." There was a faint hint of sarcasm in the bayonet's flat tone, "According to those who have witnessed strange times, it is a strange little white fox. β
Yang Shenghua's curiosity was hooked, and he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of supernatural method?" β
"It can speak," said the bayonet, "and those who have seen this white fox say that it can speak." It's not the point that the white fox can speak, the key is what it says! β
Before Yang Shenghua could open his mouth to inquire, the bayonet had already taken the lead and said: "The white fox said that the reason why Nanjiao Village suffered from the flood disaster is because someone in the village has done something that everyone is angry with, this is God's punishment for Nanjiao Village, unless the village disappears completely, the disaster will never stop." It also said that in the near future, outsiders would pass through the place, and the sinners would be punished and the bad luck of the village would be removed. β
Yang Shenghua couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this, "And this kind of strange thing?!" Looking at his expression, he seemed to scoff at the matter of the white fox and didn't pay attention to it at all.
"I'm not done yet." The bayonet glanced at Yang Shenghua, who suddenly shuddered and shut up, "The white fox said that in order to solve the plight of the villagers, the welfare of living and working in peace and contentment has been selected for everyone, as long as outsiders punish the sinners, everyone will know where the blessing is." β
Speaking of this, the bayonet took out two black fruits the size of a finger from his bosom, "This is a very miraculous fruit, dried and ground into powder and placed in the air, which can easily burn into a blue flame. When the white fox appeared, there was such a flame around him, well, the person behind him knew how to pretend to be a ghost. β
Pretending to be a ghost? Yang Shenghua is least worried about pretending to be a ghost, after all, there are bayonets here, who can pry the corner of Nanjiao Village? It can be seen from this point that Yang Shenghua is not all brainless, and he can tell the real purpose behind this trick in one sentence.
Unexpectedly, the bayonet sneered, "This may not be! Last thing, because after the carpenter's house completely escaped two days ago, and after the White Fox Incident, now the people in the village are scattered, I think it is easy to have problems. β
Yang Shenghua smiled coldly, "I'm afraid of a fart!" You are a first-order one-star armorer, and the two ordinary half-people have no chance of winning against one of you. As for the person behind it, hmph, if you really have some strength, you can just come out and find fault directly, where is the use of such indiscriminate methods as pretending to be gods and ghosts? β
The bayonet tugged at the corners of his mouth and paused, and he said: "They will definitely appear tonight, and I will catch them in my hands when the time comes!" β
