Zhang Fan, who was meditating and contemplating the "Mochizuki Taoist Canon", was woken up by the sound of pushing the door.

At the door stood a young man in a white silk shirt, with a very handsome face, but with a sad face.

Seeing someone coming, Zhang Fan was not surprised, and he didn't know if it was the owner of this house who had arrived. Yesterday evening, he thought of this possibility, there was salt in the salt jar, there was rice in the rice jar, and the dust was not too thick, but the owner had been gone for a few days, and he thought that the man in front of him might be the owner of the wooden house.

Without waiting for the owner of the wooden house to come in, Zhang Fan hurriedly came to the lodge, came to the door and saluted: "I really shouldn't come uninvited and occupy the wooden house of Brother Tai, just because I have fallen here and have nothing to rely on, so I have to live here temporarily, so I will leave." With that, he was about to walk through the man and leave.

The young man heard Zhang Fan's words, his sad face was stunned, he stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Fan, and looked Zhang Fan up and down. I saw Zhang Fan barefoot, a long shirt that was cleaned but tattered, with many holes, although his hair was tied up, it was only a branch, and there were no miscellaneous accessories all over his body, and he was obviously dressed as a vagabond. It's just that his face is clean, his clothes are shabby but tidy, and he has his own bearing when he speaks, not an ordinary homeless person.

After looking at Zhang Fan, the young man said: "Listen to the meaning of my brother's words, you are a foreigner, and you have been here, but you haven't gone anywhere?" ”

Zhang Fan was stunned when he heard the man's words, and didn't understand what the man meant, so he immediately asked, "I don't know why Brother Tai taught me?"

The man smiled and said, "I don't know if Brother Tai is willing to live here for a long time, if he wants, this wooden house is Brother Tai's residence, and there is a monthly salary." ”

Zhang Fan thought about it before he realized that this wooden house was in the cemetery, and he thought that it should be owned by the person who took care of the cemetery, and he was afraid that few people like to take care of the cemetery, but if he could live here, he would still have a salary to get, and it would be a good place for him to live. The scenery here is beautiful, there are mountains and rivers, and it is in the cemetery, so no one wants to disturb it, and you can still get a living need, but you still have to ask.

"I wonder if it's the job of guarding the cemetery?" Zhang Fan asked lightly.

The man heard Zhang Fan's question, and he couldn't hide it, so he said: "Brother Tai guessed that I won't hide it from you, when the Hai Clan attacked the pass three months ago, the tomb keeper here was nowhere to be found, and he has not been able to find it, and the mayor of the town had to recruit another person to replace him, but he failed to recruit people for a long time, so he sent me here to check it out. ”

Zhang Fan looked at the cold thing in the man's hand, and knew that what he said was untrue, but he didn't puncture it, and then replied: "I don't know what I'm going to do?" ”

The man's tone of Zhang Fan was already moved, and he hurriedly said: "The guards of the cemetery here are extremely idle, and they only need to walk around the cemetery occasionally to prevent wild boars from digging the grave, and nothing else." On the first day of each month, the brother only needs to go to the town to collect it, and this matter is very simple. ”

Zhang Fan saw that the man had finished his words here, so he didn't say anything anymore, and nodded to the man, which was considered to be the end of this errand.

Seeing that Zhang Fan agreed, the man stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Fan down the mountain, saying that he would report to the mayor.

Zhang Fan didn't stop him, but with a flick of his wrist, he took his hand out of the man's hand, and then followed the man slowly.

The man kept talking all the way, saying some interesting things in the town and things that need to be paid attention to when he saw the mayor, Zhang Fan just smiled and said nothing, and occasionally interjected, the two talked very happily, but it was not until they arrived in a courtyard in the town that Zhang Fan knew that this person's name was Murong Fu, and he was actually the mayor's nephew.

In a courtyard not far from the guard hall in Zhenhai Town, Zhang Fan finally saw the mayor after waiting for a while. Murong Fu stood next to the mayor of the town, still talking about his trip to the cemetery this time.

The mayor of the town was noncommittal to Murong Fu's gushing words, but he looked at Zhang Fan for a while, and saw that although Zhang Fan's clothes were tattered, they were still clean, and he came to see him in tattered clothes, his expression was still calm, obviously not an ordinary homeless man, and he unconsciously used honorifics: "In Xia Murong Bo, he is the mayor of Zhenhai Town, and I just heard Fu'er's words that Mr. is a person from other places, and he is willing to accept the cemetery guard, but it is true." ”

Zhang Fan listened to the mayor of the town who revealed that his family's name was Murong Bo, and Murong Fu had always been called an uncle on the side, it seemed that it was really Murong Fu's uncle, and he was even surprised, with this relationship, shouldn't Murong Bo arrange a better position for Murong Fu, it is obvious that the position of cemetery guard is a position that no one wants to do, is it because no one wants to send his own nephew to go, what is the reason.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan saluted and said: "Zhang Fan is willing to accept the position of the cemetery guard, but there is one thing that is not clear, and he hopes that the mayor will advise." ”

Murong Bo saw that Zhang Fan was rude, and he thought that the next words would not be simple, but just a few words from Zhang Fan, the mayor knew that Zhang Fan must have read some books, and the origin was not simple, but Zhang Fan asked him for advice and couldn't help but answer, so he had to nod and say, "Excuse me?" ”

Zhang Fan listened to Murong Bo's words and pondered for a moment and said: "Listening to what Murong Fu said, the mayor of the town is his own uncle, I don't know why he chose Murong Fu instead of other people in the town when he was guarding the cemetery and no one was available. ”

Murong Bo heard Zhang Fan's words and said unconsciously: "Fu'er is indeed my own nephew, but this is not the reason why I asked Fu'er to guard the cemetery. ”

Murong Bo paused for a moment before continuing: "Sir, do you know how many casualties there are in the Sea Clan's attack on our town's customs this time?" ”

Murong Fu paused for a while before saying: "Zhenhai Town originally had a population of 100,000, but after the invasion of the Sea Clan, the remaining population of Zhenhai Town was only half, more than 50,000 people, and most of the 50,000 people who disappeared were young and strong, and they died in battle. My Zhenhai Town can be said to be filial piety, and there are dead people in every household. ”

"This is the main reason why the cemetery guards can't recruit people. If you can't recruit people, you have to send people over, but as the mayor of the town, you can't always think about your own family when you have benefits, and push it out when you encounter difficulties, this is not what you should do as the mayor of a town, what the mayor should do is to be fair, not being greedy is just the basic of being a person, and being the mayor of the town has to guide the people in the town to move forward, so if there are difficulties in the town, I should go to the top first, and my own family should go to the top. This is the mayor's responsibility and obligation. ”

Zhang Fan was silent when he heard this, he couldn't understand this thought, there was something in the town, the mayor of the town was on top first, then his own family, and his own people were gone, so it was the turn of the people in the town.

He couldn't understand it, so he thought about it and saluted the mayor and said, "I have taken over the position of cemetery guard." Then he walked out of the formation, he needed to think calmly. Situ Nan is this kind of person, Murong Bo is still this kind of person, is this kind of person dying endlessly, and still prosperous in the world, has the way of this world changed, he is not greedy for power and profit, he is not greedy for lust, and he is not ......
