Chapter 5 Entering the Village
Huya Village, is a village in the Jingyanggang area, Jingyanggang is located in the east of Yanggu County, covering an area of 33.3 hectares, the sand dunes in it are undulating, the grass is overgrown, the shade covers the sun, a wilderness scene, there are two villages near this Jingyanggang, one is called Tiger Roaring Village, the other is called Tiger Stock Village, if you want to ask why these three villages have to carry a tiger word in their names, it is related to a fierce man, this fierce man is called Wu Song, is a boxer, it is said that he has studied art in Shaolin Temple, and is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. One day, Wu Song Yungong came to the Jingyanggang area and ate eighteen bowls of "Bottle Incense" in the famous "Three Bowls but Gang" hotel, which is also known as "going out and pouring out" , is the hotel secret method made of spirits, the first drink is just delicious, less time to pour, drink three bowls will be drunk, can not pass Jingyanggang, this Wu Song drank eighteen bowls in one breath, paid the money to carry the dart and left, those days Jingyanggang out of nowhere to flow out of a white-fronted demon tiger, look like the size of an elephant, fierce very, I don't know how many passers-by eaten, called Jingyanggang area has become a forbidden place, Yanggu County government has also issued a document to ask the master to kill the white tiger, but it was unsuccessful, but also folded a lot of masters of the rivers and lakes, but said that Wu Song relied on the strength of wine, went up the mountain alone at night, happened to meet the fierce tiger who came out to forage, the two met a good fight, that day the demon wind gusted, the sound of the tiger's roar, the whole hill was shaken, until dawn, Yanggu County was bringing more than a dozen servants up the mountain, found that Wu Song was lying on the tiger corpse sleeping, did not dare to disturb him, and waited until Wu Song woke up, tied the fierce tiger, and went down the mountain together, the white tiger's inner dan was also presented to the emperor as a tribute, and was praised by the emperor, Wu Song's reputation spread, and the place where Wu Song fought the tiger was also occupied, and the three nearby villages were changed to "tigers" The stockade at the beginning of the word highlights the glorious history of the area, although this history has nothing to do with the three villages.
In these three villages, Huya Village and Tiger Roaring Village are all villages composed of Han people, and Tiger Shares Village is a village composed of Miao people, speaking of the name of this Tiger Stock Village, Li Yi was quite strange at first, this name sounds easy to make people reminiscent, is it that the people in this village are interested in tiger chrysanthemums, Li Yi, who was confused, asked Wang Hu about this question, Wang Hu glanced at Li Yi with strange eyes, and quietly stayed away a few steps before explaining: "Tiger Stock Village was originally called Baishan Village, and the village chief at that time felt that ' The saying 'The tiger's butt can't be touched' makes a lot of sense, so the name was changed to Tiger Stock Village. Li Yi's face twitched when he heard this explanation, and he laughed out loud on the spot, it was still a very loud kind, the old village chief was quite humorous, but obviously Wang Hu and Wang Xin didn't think there was anything wrong with this name, on the contrary, they also felt that this name was very good, highlighting the difficulty of the village, so both of them looked at Li Yi with strange eyes, and they didn't know why Li Yi was laughing, "Hey, you don't understand my humor" Li Yi stopped laughing sadly, and continued to hurry with his head stuffy.
After walking for about two hours, Li Yi and the three of them arrived at the destination - Huya Village, which was closer, and Li Yi found that the scale of the whole village was not large, only more than 30 households of hundreds of people, and the surrounding area was surrounded by a wall, which was different from the fence of ordinary villages with bamboo, sticks, etc. as materials, but was made of special stone bricks and mud. The stockade is well defended, with only one entrance, the entrance is about 3 meters wide, and there are two wooden doors on the left and right, and the wood of this wooden door is surrounded by a kind of wood called "ironwood" The trees, hard as iron, the wooden door made of ironwood can play a good defensive role, there is a guard tower at the door, the guard tower is 5 meters high, there will be two people on it at any time, if the person who comes is their own person or a friend, then the person who put the guard will take out a whistle and blow a whistle, the people in the village know that there is no hostility to the people, if it is a foreign enemy, then the person who put the guard will blow three times, and the people in the village will immediately close the gate and take out the weapon to defend against foreign enemies.
As soon as Li Yi and the others got into the stockade, they heard a whistle, indicating that the sentry had seen Wang Hu and Wang Xin, and Wang Hu and Wang Xin, as a member of the stockade, naturally would not come in with hostile people.
After the whistle, the three of them entered the village and walked towards the west of the village, the terrain of Huya Village is high in the west and low in the east, and the people with high status in the village live in the west, Wang Hu is the first master in the Huya Village, and the house is also in the west.
The house of the Wang brothers and sisters is several earthen houses connected together, three bedrooms, a firewood room, a cooking room, a utility room stacked with sundries, and there are some vegetable fields next to the house.
After a few people put away the hunting bow and other items, Wang Hu took Li Yi straight to the largest courtyard in the village, while Wang Xin was left at home to clean up the room and prepare for Li Yi's move-in. In the courtyard, Li Yi saw the village chief who was practicing boxing, this village chief is also surnamed Wang, called Wang Hua, is a strong middle-aged man, shaved his head, and a tiger tattoo on his back.
Wang Hu took Li Yi to the side, without saying a word, quietly watching the village chief boxing, a quarter of an hour later, the village chief slowly retracted his fist, exhaled and opened his voice, "drink", a stream of white gas visible to the naked eye spewed out from the village chief's mouth, this is not the white gas produced by ordinary people's breathing in winter, but the real internal qi, judging by Li Yi's memory, this village chief at least has the combat power of the red four-star, so how strong is Wang Hu, who is called the first master in the village by Wang Xin? Li Yi pondered.
"Wang Hu, what kind of wind blew you here today, who is the little brother next to you, quickly introduce me. The village chief asked Wang Hu while wiping his sweat.
"Village Chief Wang, let me introduce you, this student next to me is a student from Luochuan Academy, he wants to join our village, I don't know what the village chief means?" Wang Hu mentioned Li Yi's identity slightly, and went straight to the topic.
The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard that Li Yi was a student of Luochuan College, and said to Li Yi in a deep voice: "Wang Hu is a straight man, he doesn't think about problems without thinking, but as the village chief, I am responsible for the people in the entire village, I have a question here, I wonder if Little Brother Li can solve my confusion?" Li Yi was stunned, and began to see the village chief's eyes light up and thought that he could easily join Huya Village, but he didn't expect this to happen, "The village chief has any doubts, but it doesn't matter." ”
"As far as I know, the students from Luochuan Academy are amazingly educated, and it is easy to participate in the imperial examination, even if they have no intention of officialdom, most of them will join the famous faction, and they don't look down on our small places, I don't know why Little Brother Li joined our village, is there any trouble that needs to be hidden?" After the village chief asked, his eyes stared at Li Yi with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to see through Li Yi's heart.
This question is not easy to answer, to make up a reasonable reason, Li Yi's brain turned rapidly, he had an idea, and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from the village chief, I was kicked out by the dean of the college, the dean said that I have no aura in my studies, I can't cultivate Haoran Qi, and I am not suitable for cultivating the Haoran mind of the college, so I was asked to come out to travel, looking for my own opportunity to meet Wang Hu today, and I felt that the Qingniu Gong of Guizhai was very unique, so I started to study one or two, and I hope that the village chief will be perfect." After speaking, he arched his hand to Wang Hua, looking sincere.
It turned out that it was not to avoid trouble, Wang Hua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and at the same time made some careful thoughts, recently the baby in the village has become more and more disagreeable, it should be asked to teach a gentleman to discipline, if you accept this Li Yi, you don't need to go to the field to invite, you can save a lot of expenses, "Okay, without further ado, we will hold the ceremony of entering the village now, Wang Hu, you go and inform everyone, Li Yi, you come with me." ”
After a while, the people in the village gathered at the village chief's house, with Wang Hu as the guarantor of Li Yi's entry into the village, and the big guy as a witness, watching Li Yi carry out the ceremony of entering the village, this ceremony is nothing new about it, that is, the process of cutting off the head of the chicken, burning yellow paper, drinking blood wine, and swearing poison, after this set of ritual processes, Li Yi officially joined Huya Village.
