Chapter 2 That's fine
The next day, in response to what happened in Longhu yesterday, experts agreed that it was a mirage. Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, since then there have been many more inexplicable people in Longhu holding instruments around, as if they were looking for something. "Oops, my waist is breaking." That's the first thing I said when I opened my eyes, and I lay on the damp ground and looked around as if it was another cave. The light was too dim to see what was going on in the cave, so I got ready with my hands on the ground. Suddenly, I felt a little wrong, as if I had touched a round thing and a hole, and I took a look at it. The two hollow eyes of the miserable white skull seemed to stare at me, and they were thrown straight out.
It doesn't matter if my back hurts or not, I don't know how long I've been running. But it always feels like it's spinning in place, so it's not an evil one. So I hurriedly touched my pocket jade pendant, where did my jade pendant go, in fact, the jade pendant was already broken when Wei Feng was in a coma, otherwise it would not have been possible to get here alive. What should I do now, if I really hit the evil spirit, it will be over, so I forced myself to calm down.
Follow the light and the wind, and then make a mark so as not to take the same route. As I walked, I suddenly ran into a big pit, so I looked inside out of curiosity, and this glance didn't matter. I almost vomited what I had eaten yesterday, and the pit was filled with rotting and smelly corpses, one after another. There were a lot of maggots crawling around on it, and according to this pit, there were at least a thousand people inside, and I don't know how deep the pit is.
So I bypassed the pit and finally came out of the hole after more than half an hour. I almost didn't suffocate inside, but I looked back at the hole, which was actually quite hidden, and was surrounded by a foot-tall weeds. It's easy to ignore if you don't crouch down, but how can I get there? I think I felt like I was knocked into a lake and I lost consciousness, I wouldn't be dead, would I?
It's not dead, what's going on. Looking at the big trees in front of me, as well as the flowers and plants on the ground. I realized that I seemed to be on the mountain, so I don't want to go down the mountain first. Otherwise, stay here and wait to feed the wolves, and then climb up the tree and break a wooden stick as a weapon. In this way, I also have a bottom in my heart, so I keep walking forward and keep knocking on the grass with a stick. I also encountered a few small snakes and killed them directly.
I can't keep guarding them, and suddenly a white thing came running through the grass and I hit them directly. Then I opened the grass and saw that it was a rabbit that scared me to death, so I picked up the rabbit ears and continued to walk. At this time, there seemed to be an old man in front of him carrying some dry firewood, and I hurriedly ran over with the rabbit and shouted to the old man, wait a minute. The old man listened to the voice behind him and thought to himself, no, I am usually the only one who dares to come up on this mountain. Then he put down the dry wood and turned around slowly, which surprised both of us.
For he was dressed in a gray coarse cloth garment, and a green cloth was wrapped around his head. The red face is engraved with the traces of time, but a pair of eyes are bright. I wore a pair of straw sandals that were almost worn out, and my clothes were not very good-looking. But he knew at a glance that this dress was definitely not available in this place, and he walked over and touched the buttons on my clothes. Then he asked, "Young man, where did you come from, and how did you come to this mountain?"
Then I told him where I was from, and I don't know why I came here inexplicably, and he said, "Old man, I've lived for so long, but I really haven't heard of it, young man, where is Henan, this is Tibetan Mountain." For so many years, I have been an old man alone, and I have never met an outsider." So I asked the old man, "What are the buses?" The old man laughed and said, "Young man, what are the buses?" I can't understand a word of what you say.
My name is Wei Xian, and I think you may have been frightened by something. I won't be able to remember the past for a while, and it just so happens that I'm also alone, so let's be companions first. I'll talk about it when you remember." So I took the rabbit and picked up the dry wood and followed him down the mountain. After all, I really don't know where this is, Wei Xian pushed open the wooden door and walked in. I stood outside and looked around, and it was more appropriate to say that it was more a hut than a house. The hut was surrounded by a fence made of wooden sticks to keep wild animals out.
He looked back at me again and said, "Come in, boy." There is a boulder in the courtyard, and there are several stone benches around it, which must be a table. He took the dry wood and rabbit in my hand, pointed to the stone bench and said, "Young man, go there and rest for a while, and when the meal is ready, I will call you." Then I nodded and said, "Thank you, grandpa." Wei Xian smiled when he heard this, and he had no children under his knees. Now that I have a grandson for no reason, I am naturally happy, and I sit on the stone bench in a daze. I tried to think back to what happened after I fell into the lake, but the more I thought about it, the more headache I felt, so I simply didn't want to.
Looking at the ants under the stool in a daze, Wei Xian brought a wooden basin after a while. In the basin was rabbit meat, and he smiled and said, "Come, eat." He also handed me a pair of wooden chopsticks and a bamboo tube. From time to time, I have been treated with meat, and no one has ever been so kind to me since I was a child. I felt at a loss for a while, and after dinner, I lay down in bed and went to sleep. This bed is a bed with some straw on the floor and some cloth on it, which is already good for me. Then they talked about some things from the past, and the old man saw that he had a companion to talk to, not to mention how high he was. So I told the strange things about the strange people who traveled all over the country when I was young, and I was fascinated when I heard it. Until you fall asleep slowly.
I would get up early the next morning to practice, which was a habit of mine. After practicing, Wei Xian handed me a set of clothes to change into, saying that he was going to take me to the city to have a look, although I didn't understand why I had to change clothes in the city, but I still did it. After changing my clothes, Wei Xian took me to Fengwu City, which was the closest to here. Although it is said that it is recently, it has been walking for nearly two hours, and it is almost noon when I arrive in the city.
Looking at the soldiers guarding the city, I seem to understand that I should have crossed over. It seems that what the father-in-law said is true, but unfortunately the jade pendant is gone, and after entering the city, I saw many people gathered there, not knowing what they were doing. Then we also gathered around and pulled someone to ask. It turned out that Luo Xiang was trying a case, and Luo Xiang thought it was a simple case.
But I didn't expect that there were more and more people, but there was no way to solve the case, and the case was very simple, that is, Zhang San walked and hit Wang Er. Originally, it was normal for someone to hit someone when walking, but when Wang Er fell to the ground, he crushed the shortbread in his bamboo basket. Zhang San also said happily that he was willing to compensate, but Wang Er had to ignore people and insist on how many cakes he had in the box. If you want to compensate according to the price, if you think about how many cakes are in the box, it is not up to Wang Er to have the final say. This Zhang Trinity is not happy to hear it, isn't this a clear lie. happened to meet the county order Luo Xiang, so the two did not let each other go, so they sued the county order.
Luo Xiang also felt indecisive when he heard it, in order to cover up his incompetence. So he simply came up with a silver reward of twenty wen to judge the case, but the people around him gathered more and more. But none of them could solve the case, Luo Xiang felt a little unbearable, so he raised the reward to thirty wen. Thirty Wen can be said to be a month's expenses for ordinary people, but everyone is still in a wait-and-see situation. So I stepped forward and said, "What's so hard about this?"
The people around me turned their heads to look at me, and Wei Xian pulled me. I whispered, "It's okay grandpa." When Luo Xiang heard this, he felt that there were steps down. But you still have to put on an official show, "If this little brother dares to play tricks on the county order, he will be imprisoned, have you thought about it?" So I asked, "If I can solve this case, will the thirty articles be given to me?" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Luo Xiang replied: "If you can solve this case, thirty articles are yours, if you can't break the sixty boards, it is indispensable."
Then I found something to weigh, bought another shortbread, broke it and put it on it, and said, "You can see that the weight of a shortbread is only so much, but all the broken shortbread in this box is only ten together." Where are the twenty that Wang Er said?". When Luo Xiang heard this, he scolded Wang Er, "Be bold and dare to play with the people, and drag me down to beat the sixty boards." Then he took out thirty wen and handed it to me, which was just a drop in the bucket for the county order.
After the case was solved, the onlookers gradually dispersed, and Luo Xiang took a closer look at the young man in front of him. asked, "This official needs a young man like you to assist this official in managing Fengwu City, I wonder if the little brother is interested?" When Wei Xian heard this, he knelt down and said, "Thank you to the county magistrate for raising the grass people, etc., naturally willing."
Then he pulled me to kneel, in his opinion, the official must not be offended, otherwise people will kill you every minute, no different from pinching an ant to death. Originally, I wanted to say that I didn't want to be controlled by others or something, but I couldn't agree if I looked at the posture. Luo Xiang looked at it and said, "Those who know the times are Junjie, so good." Then he took off a wooden sign on his body, with a text engraved on it, and said: "There are only three of these wooden cards in the whole city, and you are the first person to hold it, and you can freely enter and exit the county government in the city." No one is commanding but me". Wei Xian hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
I just looked at this sign in a daze until Luo Xiang walked away. I just handed the money in my hand to Wei Xian, he waved his hand and said, "Grandpa has money, you can keep it for yourself if you have enough to spend." Besides, you need money at your age, and grandpa accompanies you to buy a set of clothes." After I bought clothes, I bought him another pair of shoes, and I always felt that something was wrong. Then he walked to the county office.
