Ancient houses were basically built of thatch and mud, which can be said to be really cool in winter and warm in summer.

It's freezing to death in winter, and it's hot to death in summer.

It was stuffy and hot in the room, so most of the villagers stood at the door or under the big tree next to it and gossiped.

The grain was basically plagued by locusts, and they had nothing to do.

When they saw the tiger raised by the villagers, they were also shocked!

"This ...... This is the beast! ”

"That great benefactor killed the animal! I'm going to kneel down and kowtow to him! ”

"Isn't it Master Wu? He's the best in our village. ”

"Yes, who will the heavens forgive! This beast deserves it! ”

"Hurry up and tell Muramasa that the big worm was killed!"

(Trivia: In ancient times, there was no such term as village chief, but the village is the village chief in the village.) ）

“……”

For a time, the villagers' gossip filled the village.

They were all shocked at who had killed such a large beast!

There are many villagers who involuntarily choose to follow the villagers who carry the tiger, and for a while, almost the whole village followed Ningbei Wu Kun and others to the village house.

Because his children were playing at the entrance of the village, the village had already learned the news.

Before everyone came to Muramasa's house, Muramasa ran out of the house quickly.

"What about the big worm that was killed? Where is the big bug? ”

Only then did Ningbei discover that the village of this little lotus village was a little old man who was older than Lao Li.

His hair and beard were all gray, but his body was still neat.

Seeing the village masatic, the villagers carrying the tiger hurriedly shouted:

"Liu Cunzheng, Liu Cunzheng, we killed the big worm!"

As soon as the villager finished speaking, Wu Kun next to him kicked him away.

Wu Kun glared at him, "What do you mean we killed the big worm?" It was the benefactor who killed the big worm! ”

"Yes, yes, it's the big worm killed by the great benefactor Ning Bei!"

The villagers who were kicked away were not angry, but just smiled and corrected their mistakes.

Although Wu Kun is missing an arm, his status in the village is also very important.

What's more, there is nothing wrong with people in the first place, it is he who is quick to talk.

The people laid down the tiger and helped the village to approach the animal.

Liu Murazheng's gaze also stayed on the tiger's neck, and when he saw the familiar scar, the elderly Muramasa couldn't help but grit his teeth and said:

"It's this beast! It deserves death at all! ”

"It's this beast that ate my two grandchildren, and I'm going to stone it to death!"

"Get a knife, I'm going to cut this beast into a pulp!"

"My hard-working niece was eaten by it just as an adult, and the villagers killed her!"

“……”

After receiving the affirmation of the village, the villagers who had surrounded the tiger were also indignant.

The stones and clods of soil that he took from around were already aimed at the tiger, and it seemed that he wanted to whip the corpse again.

Fortunately, the village stopped them in time.

The villagers next to him had already told him that the animal had been killed by Ningbei.

Liu Cun was trembling and walked to Ning Bei's side.

The familiar action made Ning Bei stunned.

Should this old man also ......

"Benefactor, Xiao Lao'er hereby kowtows to you on behalf of the villagers of Xiaolianzi Village! Thank you for killing the big bug! ”

Saying that, Liu Cunzheng was about to kneel down for Ning Bei.

Ning Bei subconsciously stopped him, crying and laughing:

"I can't help it, I really can't help it!"

"Grandpa Muramasa, don't kneel down for me, I can't afford it!"

Even if he was supported by Ningbei, Muramasa was still unwilling to give up.

After a moment of thought, he spoke again:

"Then I don't represent the people in the village, I only kowtow to you on behalf of myself."

"That's even more incredible! Don't kowtow! ”

At this moment, Ning Bei knew that the first disadvantage of crossing into the Tang Dynasty was that someone would kowtow to him at every turn.

There is gold under the knees of a man, and it has not been passed down in this era

Of course, these are all things that Ningbei deserves, but Ningbei's thinking still hasn't done a good job of changing.

As a free and equal citizen, he really couldn't stand someone kneeling for him.

Especially the old man who was much older than him.

Isn't it fragrant to have this spare time to give some substantial benefits?

However, Yu Guang glanced at this small village, and Ning Bei suddenly felt that all the people in this village added up, and they might not be able to make up ten taels of gold.

Don't think about the reward or anything.

After that, Ningbei chatted with Murazheng for a while, and in the conversation with Murazheng, Ningbei finally understood why ancient villages would choose an elder to be Murazheng.

In this feudal and backward era, where the network is completely absent, the old man's insight is the greatest wealth in a village.

There is an old man in the family, and it is not nonsense to say that it is like a treasure.

Although Muramasa has reached the age of sixty, his thoughts are indeed very clear and clear when he talks.

Some things that Ergou and Lao Li couldn't answer, Muramasa said very completely.

After his explanation, Ningbei knew that the location he was in now was about the modern Henan region.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Henan Road.

No wonder the villagers here grow wheat!

Henan Province has been growing wheat and eating pasta since ancient times.

Of course, rice is not impossible to grow, but the yield of rice is certainly not as good as that of those fertile plains.

Ningbei thinks that the matter of rice should be put aside for the time being.

Anyway, there is systematic storage, nothing serious.

Seeing that Ning Bei was stunned, Liu Cunzheng suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Look at my brain, little old man, I have been hanging the hero outside, the hero hurry up and invite it at home."

Liu Cunzheng glanced at the surrounding villagers, and then pointed to a few people.

"Why don't you guys go boil water for the heroes!"

"Oh, no, no."

Ning Bei hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself, but in the end, he couldn't resist the old man's enthusiasm, so he could only follow the old man into the house.

Several people hurriedly carried the tiger into the courtyard of the village and put it in the shade on the side.

As soon as the two of them sat down in the house, they saw that the villagers were still around the tiger, staring at the tiger's corpse, and their appearance was a little greedy.

This is a tiger of more than 300 catties!

Even if the bones and internal organs are removed, there must be more than 100 catties of meat left!

There are only 100 people in Xiaolianzi Village, and even if one person shares a pound of tiger meat, he is rich!

This year is still a disaster year, and most of the people don't have enough to eat, let alone meat!

It's no exaggeration to say that a pound of meat can make them live for an extra month!

Eating a little bit of meat a day can give people hope to live!

What's more, this tiger also ate their relatives, and they ate this tiger, which can be regarded as revenge for their relatives!

That's not too much, right?

If it weren't for Ning Bei and Murazheng, they would have picked up the machete and eaten this animal a long time ago.

But even as they stood aside, the villagers were talking louder and louder.

Liu Cunzheng, who was talking to Ningbei, stopped everyone, and he shouted loudly:

"Don't look at it, this is a big insect killed by the benefactors of Ningbei, and how to deal with the big worm is the business of the benefactors of Ningbei."

As soon as these words came out, although the people complained a little, they did not say much.

Because what Muramasa said is very right, this tiger was killed by Ningbei, and how to deal with the tiger is indeed a matter for Ningbei.

Even if Ningbei throws this tiger away, it's none of their business!

"Grandpa Liu, if you don't separate this tiger from the villagers, I won't be able to eat it alone."
