Chapter 9: Adults
"By the way, do you like to eat dates?"
Gu Yu said lightly, the big bear children's shoes were so happy that they ran to pick dates, anyway, most of the jujube forests in this village are not afraid of people in the village picking a few to eat, and the rural customs are like this, just like the passers-by in the melon fields in the field are fine after picking a few to quench their thirst, which can be regarded as very simple.

And Gu Yu was standing under a tree and looking at the beehive hanging above.
The tree is not tall, and the branches and foliage are quite lush, if it weren't for Gu Yu paying attention to the bees coming and going, I'm afraid ordinary people wouldn't have seen a beehive inside.
This hive is not big or small, but it looks like an old beehive, ya, this old honey is very nourishing.
Gu Yu pondered, picked up some hay from the side, and was waiting for Li Daxiong to come over and light a fire to smoke this beehive... But I heard that several cottages on the other side of the river at the head of the village were a little noisy.
"Hey, monkey!"
Gu Yu turned his head and caught a date, hey, it's quite big, blue and white with brown, you can see that it's very sweet at a glance, seeing Li Daxiong stuffing it directly into his mouth, he couldn't help but say: "Although you live roughly, some parasites multiply more strongly in this season... There's a lot of bird poop or something... No wonder there is a local saying in the mountains called "Dirty eats dirty fat" (I also have this kind of local dialect here)
Li Daxiong: "...."
Gu Yu: "I'll go to the creek to wash, and you smoke those bees..."
Well, Li Daxiong doesn't know why, what this little skinny little girl says always makes so much sense.
However, compared to the meticulous work of his daughter's family, such as washing dates, he prefers the work done by the beehive, so he simply gave the dates to Gu Yao, climbed the tree by himself, took the fire fold and lit the hay, and smoked the mouth of the beehive...
Gu Yu carried dozens of dates to the creek with his coat, and looked at the other side of the stream while washing the dates.
There are four sturdy and tall horses at the door of the house, which should be Tang Shi's official ride, with saddle whips and other supporting facilities, which are not available to ordinary people, and she doesn't know what is going on in the yard of the house, but there is a rare crying and noisy sound.
Ya, people from the court?
Gu Yu was curious, and washed four or five more dates, and a person suddenly flew out of the wall, smashed his back to the ground, screamed, and the black shadow in the yard flew away, and jumped down when he stepped on the wall, the black robe of the thorn brocade was flying, and the elbow kicked and pressed on the man's abdomen, and the man's abdomen was so topped that his mouth coughed up blood.
But the young man wearing the official hat pulled out the blade on his waist with his right hand quickly, the blade was not long, thin and sharp, the edge of the knife was thin, and after it was unsheathed, as the wrist was cut in the air, the air tore like a crack, and in an instant, the blade curved and turned along the wrist from top to bottom...
Sonor!
The blade pierced a gray stone on the side of the man's head and cracked.
The man's eyes opened, and there was a smell of urine between his legs.
The young man frowned, but he was also cold: "People from the countryside, if you dare to be disrespectful to adults, it is already an offense, if you commit it again, you will be punished with the crime of disrespect!"
Not to mention that the man was scared into a dog, even Gu Yu at the other end of the stream was also startled, she came from the peaceful world, although she knew which dynasty the military officials were mostly strong, but compared to the ancient times when human life was like a dog, it was very different, as if this young man from the government really dared to kill civilians with this kind of disrespectful crime.
Not in the 21st century, otherwise your eighteenth generation ancestors will be exposed in minutes.
So Gu Yu was really frightened, but he wasn't afraid, he was just curious about the origin of the adult in this young man's mouth, the people under his hands were so powerful, they were more neat than those like Li Daxiong who sculpted demons and demons.
Of course, the big bear children's shoes obviously take the route of anti-demon and evil suppression, and it is not the same as this kind of martial arts.
The knife used by this person is also a horizontal knife in the Tang Dynasty, Gu Yu pondered that he really wore it to the Tang Dynasty, which has more to do with the ancient tomb.
Suddenly, there was a voice in the courtyard.
"Blue Feather"
A faint sound, with a cool thinness, looked indifferent on the other side of the stream, Gu Yu washed two more dates, and sure enough, he saw a young man walking out of the courtyard.
In his early twenties, he was still very young, his face was cold and noble, his figure was tall and handsome as a bamboo, he wore a brocade robe embroidered with gold on a black background, and his official hat was tied up with his hair, and his official hat was obviously not like the head of the young man before, but a tall turban that could only be used by nobles in the Tang Dynasty, with a thin black yarn, plus the exquisite robe, it was obvious that he was from a family background, no matter what his official position was, just by virtue of this background, it was not something that the country people could offend, no wonder the young entourage was so ruthless and decisive.
This is someone behind who is not afraid to kill.
"Yes, my lord"
The entourage Qing Yu got up and inserted the horizontal knife into the scabbard on his waist, but he also stared coldly at the man who vomited blood.
"Master, lord, the fierce son is not sensible just now, and he never intended to offend you, if you have anything else to ask, we will answer honestly, answer honestly..."
"Just answer the previous questions" The noble young man didn't react much to the change in the attitude of these people, as cold as ever, but his eyes swept over the village very calmly, such as the few families next door who also hung white sacrifice spirits.
"Yes, yes, the boys of our four families are all carrying sedan chairs, and three months ago they carried the sedan chair for the son of Sheyuan outside Dongliu Town, which Cheng never came back after thinking about the ghost crying forest... I told him not to go, don't go, it's a man-eating ghost forest, I don't know how many people have eaten for most of the year..."
The man-eating ghost forest? The young man's brows pressed slightly.
"Can you go in and find the bones?"
As soon as he asked this, everyone present was embarrassed, and the old man said with a bitter face: "It is a man-eating forest, there are evil ghosts, how dare we go in, and if we go in, we will not be sent to death."
These words are right.
Qing Yu and the other entourage's faces became a little colder, but the noble young man was not surprised, "Then why don't you go to the She family to compensate after their deaths?"
With the style of these people, it is impossible not to ask for an explanation and compensation...
Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, these people's faces became even more strange, and their eyes were a little evasive.
"It's because the She family has your land deed in hand that Zhao Qi and the four of them take risks, and because of this land deed, you don't dare to trouble the She family, right?"
Naturally, it was right, the faces of these people were full of embarrassment, humiliation, and anger that they had seen through.
"She Yuanwai is the landlord of the land here, and the people from several villages near us either have the land deed in his hands, or they owe a lot of debts, if they don't give his family a marriage, they will starve to death of the family... My lord, it's not that we're ruthless, but..."
The emotional value is max, but the young man was obviously unmoved, and he was indifferent enough to interrupt the old man's cry, "Since you are white, the body has been found?"
"Uh... We haven't gotten it yet, but we have found it, a master helped us find it, and even brought back the clothes to show us, but the body is still in the woods....."
Qing Yu sneered when he heard this: "Is the other party a famous demon hunter on the Dao?" or is it the Dao Master?"
"That's not it, the master looks like a bandit... Uh, bah, I'm talking nonsense, but that master is really powerful!"
"Do you believe the words of such charlatans?"
After all, for the common people, although the court is greater than the sky, those mages are all linked to the gods.
Seeing that he was about to provoke the anger of the public, the noble young man glanced at Qing Yu, who bowed his head and took a step back.
"That mage is in this village now," the young man looked like he had three eyes, and he was so frightened that he couldn't hide anything from him.
"Your Excellency, how do you know..."
"The answer is"
"Yes, he lives in Aunt Li's old house in the south... Hey, the little girl washing dates on the other side was rescued by him and his apprentice, what a coincidence. ā
The old man pointed his finger at Gu Yao, and he was very enthusiastic: "Girl, little girl, come here, come here, this adult wants to see you."
Nima, did he say it, no!
Gu Yu is most afraid that he will be involved in this matter now, but he didn't expect to be shot after washing a date to see the excitement, and he knew that he was not curious just now...
The young man naturally looked over, and also saw the little girl squatting by the stream washing dates, she looked very young and thin, similar to ordinary village girls, naturally she couldn't get into their eyes, but how could such a little girl have anything to do with this case.
Qing Yu was about to call out to Gu Lu, suddenly...
Gu Yu screamed under the tree seven or eight meters away from him, and then jumped a burly and powerful figure, rushing towards Gu Yu like a tiger and a leopard.
Shouting while running.
"it!Monkey monkey, run!!"
Before Gu Yu could react, the person had already been caught by Li Daxiong and ran away.
Behind it is a swarm of crazy bees...
Gu Yu is very crazy, so many bees can sting her by several pounds!
"What are you doing?"
"I... I'm just not in a good stomach."
And then.. Put p?
Did you stink someone's queen bee to death?
Gu Yu was speechless, but when she saw the person on the other side of the news, she felt that it was all fate.
Across the creek.
"Stop!" Qing Yu was a little anxious, and raised his body method with another attendant, and directly lifted the jump from the other end of the creek, that body method was so free and easy that people were amazed and envious, but the two of them jumped to the place where Gu Yu was just now, and the young man behind stopped them.
Qing Yu looked back at the young man, who only glanced at the fallen dates on the ground.
āāāāāāāā
The bald guy in the courtyard rolled his eyes when he saw the embarrassed appearance of the two, "I know that it is not enough... Come, hurry up and eat the soil"
Gu Yu and the two: "...."
Li Daxiong didn't know what was going on across the stream, so Gu Yu hesitated but didn't mention it.
But there is no honey here, nothing else, just dates.
Gu Yu was not happy to be ridiculed by this dead bald head, and this dry roast was indeed a little shabby, so she walked into this house, fortunately, this old house was still inhabited before, and the kitchen was not too dirty, she rummaged through it, and found a piece of salt and a small string of chili peppers.
Crush the salt and chili pepper into powder, simply smear the inside and outside of the chicken three times, then crush these fresh sweet dates into jujube paste and stuff them into the belly of the chicken, sew them with needles and threads. OK, roast on the shelf!
Gu Yao sat there roasting chicken, and the two burly men next to him squatted there to watch...
When several official talents arrived, they saw such a scene.
How to say it, it's very joyful, quite joyful.
But after they had been standing there for a long time, even the blind should have noticed it, but the three of them were still staring at the roast chicken...
Accurate!
Qing Yu coughed.
The three of them just looked up!
As soon as Gu Yu saw that noble young man, he secretly screamed that it was not good, and these people were too fast.
This time, without waiting for Qing Yu to speak, the young man made a gesture outside the courtyard and said: "In Xia Lu Yizhi, because of some official business, I need to visit my seniors and ask some questions, and my life is at stake, so I ask my seniors to give convenience."
The bald guy has actually noticed these people for a long time, but he is too lazy to deal with them, at this moment, the other party is greedy for good, and the content actually has a deep meaning, so he just looked at it twice.
"Lu Yizhi?"
"Yes"
"I don't know."
Brush!
The four attendants instantly drew their horizontal knives, the blades were sharp, and the cold light was shining.
Gu Yu's hand shook, but the roast chicken was still stable.
Well, the people live on food.
