Among the barren mountains and mountains, the vines are withered and the trees are old, and the weeds are overgrown, even if the sun is high in the sky, it can't help but make people feel a little alienated from wanting to escape.

Xue An woke everyone up as ordered, and everyone was amazed.

"How do we sleep here?"

"Last night...... Hiss ......"

"It's time to ...... It won't hit ...... Hit the evil spirit, right? ”

There were different opinions for a while, and everyone did not discuss the reason, but became even more panicked, and hurriedly proposed to leave quickly.

Those who did not wake up from a hangover were also forcibly helped on their horses by their respective slaves.

I can't stay in this place for a moment.

Xue An waited for Li Yu to get on the horse, and whispered: "Little Marquis, I'm afraid this matter can't be covered, the imperial court will definitely have to send someone to investigate." ”

Li Yu said: "It's okay, I don't know when the time comes, but you, do you really want to report to my father?" ”

Xue An said: "Of course." ”

Li Yu sighed and scolded with a smile: "You! ”

Then he rode his horse.

Xue An turned over and followed closely behind.

At this time, everyone found that there was a small village not far ahead, which was the Hujiazhuang they met when they came yesterday.

The real Hujiazhuang.

An old man led the ox to meet him, and when he saw a group of freshly dressed and angry gentlemen and slaves, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly avoided the road.

Everyone was a little hesitant, for fear of another collision.

Li Yu knew it in his heart, boldly stepped forward, and asked, "Old man, I want to ask you something, what kind of place is there?" ”

The old man looked in the direction they came from following what Li Yu was pointing at: "This is the old site of our Hujiazhuang more than 30 years ago, why did the son ask about this?" ”

"The site from more than thirty years ago?" When the disciples heard this, they were also a little interested, and they were curious and scared, and said, "Then why is it deserted now?" ”

The old man said: "Hey, it's not a flood disaster?" There is muddy water passing through there, and it is usually only about ten steps wide, and a big flood makes people fearful......"

Li Yu said: "Even so, it won't be completely deserted, right?" So much land that can be cultivated is wasted. ”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "This son doesn't know, in this world, how can farming be strong?" ”

Li Yu said: "That's the same, it's so close to the Holy Capital......

The old man said: "Don't hide it from the son, the old man I also went to the city to work when I was young, if it weren't for the Holy Capital, it would have been moved in a long time ago, but now it's okay, not only my son and daughter-in-law can work hard in the Holy Capital, but even a few grandchildren are other people's little masters as scholars, and they can earn hundreds of dollars a month."

Besides, even if the land is deserted, it is not ours, it belongs to the doctor's family. ”

"Oh? Doctor? This country family even has a doctor? ”

"Childe said this, although our Hujiazhuang is not a prosperous place, but it is also in the suburbs of the holy capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there have always been seeds of reading.

But, alas, alas, alas......"

"What a pity?" Li Yu listened with great interest, and many gentlemen couldn't help but gather around.

The old man couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw so many nobles listening to his talk about the ancients, but as he said, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the great cadres and the people, who had more or less seen the world and settled down, told them in detail.

"It's a pity that the children and grandchildren are not angry, and only a few years after they died, they gambled in the city and lost all their family business."

When everyone heard this, there was no wave in their hearts.

They have seen a lot of this kind of thing, even in the scene, there are good gamblers, but their parents still have titles and power, and they can not admit it if they lose.

"To say that the boss of the Wailang family is really not a thing, he doesn't talk about bad gambling, and he is also abducted and deceived, but he did not harm the people in Zhuangzi back then, and then he suffered retribution, called people to be killed, left orphans and widows, and lived on the help of the clansmen.

It's also a loss that their ancestors have accumulated virtue and left a little bit of thin land, and the clansmen have also given their strength, so they have grown up, but they are worried about their relatives! ”

Li Yu said: "How can this good man worry about his family? ”

The old man said: "This son, look at what you said, on the edge of our holy capital, which family has a beautiful daughter who is not sent to the city?" Even if you give someone a broken house in the city as an outroom, it is better than staying, not to mention that Boss Hu has lost his ancestral business, and he still owes a lot of debts, how can anyone push his daughter to the fire pit? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is really not a thing, it will harm the children and grandchildren." ”

The old man said: "Yes, if you want to say that this Boss Hu's son has also fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, and he has been reincarnated in this gambler's family, and he is a good guy with hands and feet, and he doesn't look ugly, but he can't marry his mother-in-law."

His mother was anxious, urging every day, and she was forced to work in the city, but she didn't have to live in peace.

Alas, I am a few years younger than Boss Hu's son, and when my son can earn money as a scholar, he is still a bachelor.

But then, a strange thing happened. ”

"What's weird?" Everyone couldn't help but ask.

The old man said: "That Boss Hu's son turned to a yellow flower girl out of nowhere, and he got married!" ”

All the sons laughed: "You bad old man is very bad, don't you allow people to come and marry a daughter-in-law, what's the blame?" ”

The old man waved his hand again and again: "Ladies and gentlemen, I misunderstood, the strange thing I said is not that he suddenly got married, but on the night of marriage, someone saw that the woman's relatives drank too much wine, showing the original form of a fox and a dog, and they were so frightened that no one dared to stay at the banquet."

At that time, I was still working in the city, and I didn't go to eat and drink, but later I heard that the bride was a monster, because she was saved by someone in her previous life hundreds of years ago, and she turned into a beautiful woman and came back to repay her kindness!

Since then, even if the son of the old Hu family eats soft rice, it didn't take long for him to move into the city to do big business. ”

A gentleman laughed and said, "You old man is talking nonsense again, but I don't blame you, the fool in the countryside is good at these superstitious things." ”

However, some people suddenly looked solemn, reminiscent of the inexplicable encounter last night.

Li Yu and Xue An's faces also changed suddenly, staring at the old man.

Zhong Feng next to him laughed, and said heartlessly: "If you want me to say, this person really can't be poor, once he is poor, he can't marry a serious wife, so he can only lust these foxes and ghosts."

Especially those poor sour literati who have tried and failed, write strange novels, there are fairy goddesses, fox wives and ghost concubines, mountain spirits and monsters, all kinds of strange things, that is full of tricks, tsk.

But don't say it, my son loves to watch these things, and sometimes he makes the concubines and maids in the family dress up as characters in the book. ”

"So good at playing? Then you've missed a good opportunity this time. ”

"Don't, my son Ye Gong is a good dragon."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, talking about the interesting stories they had heard about, and for a while they washed away the supernatural atmosphere of sleeping in the barren mountains and mountains.
