It's magical.

The child, who almost didn't even have a breath just now, after smelling these wisps of green smoke, his body, which had no sound, suddenly burped, and his stomach also fluctuated when he breathed, and then he opened his eyes like this, and when he saw the nine girls with frightened eyes, he cried out.

"Sister ......"

It seems that when he was unconscious, the youngest still knew what was going on.

The ninth girl patted her younger brother on the back, calming his frightened emotions and breathing a long sigh of relief.

has been in a high degree of tension, and there is a little dizziness at the moment of relaxation, but she has always been strong, and she just endured it.

Seeing the child wake up, Chen Yun removed the candle flame and the bead, and when she put away the black jealousy bead, the ninth girl had already pulled her brother to kneel.

"Brother Chen Yun, if it weren't for you to save me, my brother might be more than lucky.

If my brother is gone, then I don't want to live anymore, Brother Chen, you saved my family.

Brother, come, kowtow to Brother Chen Yun, you must always remember that this is your savior!

To remember for the rest of your life! ”

Second Uncle Liu and a few neighbors who were watching from the side also nodded, this kind of life-saving grace is like regenerating parents, what's wrong with kowtowing a few heads.

Seeing the ninth girl kneeling in front of her brother, Chen Yun was a little unaccustomed to it, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull them up.

Suddenly, I didn't know what I was thinking, and a thought suddenly came to mind: I saved his life and kowtowed to him, what's wrong?

Then she watched the ninth girl with her younger brother like this, and kowtowed to Chen Yun three times.

After the ninth girl and her younger brother kowtowed, Chen Yun's mind seemed to suddenly wake up, and he hurriedly went up to help them up.

"Your brother suffered this hardship, and the damage to his body is still quite large, go back and boil a few eggs for him to replenish his nutrition.

Let's go back first!

It's okay! ”

The ninth girl nodded: "Okay, Brother Chen, then let's go back first!" ”

The Nine Girls left and a few neighbors followed, because this place was a little far away from the village, and Old Man Zuo was more withdrawn and liked to live on the edge of the village.

But as they walked, the sound of talk came from the wind.

"I didn't expect that! The person who was picked up by my uncle even forgot where his home was, but he had the means to subdue these strange things! ”

"You say, could this be taught by my uncle, I remember that when my uncle first came back, he seemed to have beheaded a ghost."

"Hey, don't say it, it's possible ......"

"Then you say, I'm going to find my uncle to learn this method from him, will my uncle teach me?"

"Don't even think about it......"

When they walked a short distance, they faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when they looked up, it turned out to be two people who looked like fast hunters riding fast horses towards the village.

Seeing that the other party was coming towards the village, Second Uncle Liu hurriedly took two steps forward and waited on the side of the road.

"It turned out to be Li Zhutou, Wang Zhuye, I don't know what the two of you are here this time, what are you doing?

If you need help, I'll gather the villagers and send them! ”

Second Uncle Liu is the head of this small village, to be honest, there are not many people in this small village, and being a village chief does not show any prestige.

But once the county government has something to do, if the village chief can't do it, then he will have to play the board.

So Second Uncle Liu is very respectful to the two people in front of him, although the two in front of him are fast, according to the grade, they belong to the untouchables, and they belong to the kind of family that cannot take the imperial examination for three generations, but this is not cheap, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people like Second Uncle Liu.

The name of catching fast, this position can be passed from father to son, son to grandson, and then passed down from generation to generation, as long as there is no problem with the dynasty, these yacha families will basically not change.

This belongs to the iron rice bowl, and ordinary people are still quite envious.

As for those who look down on the officials and the fast catchers, only those who are real scholars, those who have the money to study, and those who have the opportunity to take the imperial examination, will look down on these people.

Li Zhutou and Wang Zhukuai, who also knew Second Uncle Liu, stopped their horses, lowered their heads and asked, "Village Chief Liu, where does Zuo Qianjun of your village live?" ”

Second Uncle Liu looked up in amazement after hearing this: "The two of you are here to find Uncle Zuo?"

Uncle Zuo is not at home now, he went up the mountain to collect medicine, if the matter is not urgent, it is better for the two of you to go to my house first, and I will serve good tea and rice.

After eating and drinking, Uncle Zuo should come back! ”

Li Zhutou and Wang Zhutou quickly looked at the sky, nodded and dismounted: "By the way, there is a woman in your village, Wang Ajiu, more than fourteen or two years, right?"

Inform her and ask her to pay the taxes she owes!

The law of the imperial court stipulates that if a woman is over 15 years old and unmarried, the tax will be counted as 5, and if she is over 16 years old and unmarried, she will be officially married.

Village Chief Liu, there is a woman in your village who is over 15 years old and unmarried, and you are a bit derelict in your duty if you don't report it!

If it weren't for your own villagers handing over the paper, the county government wouldn't know that you, Village Chief Liu, were so bold! ”

The poll tax paid by the imperial court, which used to be 20 wen per person per year, has now doubled to 40 wen per year, and if a woman is over 15 and is unmarried, 40 wen is 5 times, that is, 200 wen.

Two years, that's 400 Wen!

A load of grain is only 120 yuan, more or less, and 400 wen is almost three or four loads of grain.

For ordinary people, the 400 yuan that can buy three or four loads of grain is old nose money, and even some families can't pay it out at all.

But now Second Uncle Liu is not concerned about the four hundred texts, but nods and thanks Li Zhutou: "Thank you Li Zhutou, let's go, I will go to my house for a tea and dinner today."

It just so happened that our family still had a jar of wine stored in the winery in the next village, so I asked someone to pick it up.

It was all glutinous rice that had been brewed for a long time, and the goose at home was too fat, and if you didn't eat it, you would lose weight.

Simply kill it, put it in the pot and simmer for half an hour, it will definitely be delicious.

I'm going to make the two of you have a good time!

After eating, then Uncle Zuo is almost back!

When the time comes,"

After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the two fast horses in his hands, and the two horses took the lead and led the two fast catchers to their own house.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and shouted at the nine girls who were standing stiffly on the side of the road pulling her younger brother, who was at a loss.

"Nine girls, go home and wait, I'll bring the money over in a while, you help me go to the wine shop in the next village to get the jar wine back!"

The ninth girl hugged her younger brother, quickly reacted, and responded: "Eh! ”

Second Uncle Liu led the horse into his house and shouted at the mother-in-law in the house: "Kill the fattest goose in the house, and entertain Li Zhutou and Wang Zhuye!" ”

Beckoned Li Zhutou and Wang Zhutou to sit down in the hall, poured water, and put a plate of fried beans on the table, so that they had time to ask.

"Uncle Zuo is seventy-one years old, I don't know what else the two catchers need to find his old man?

It's more than seventy, even if you commit something, it's not mainly about killing, basically the government doesn't ask, right? ”

Li Zhutou glanced at Second Uncle Liu with a smile: "Don't worry!"

Village Chief Liu, it's not a bad thing!

It was the yamen who heard that Zuo Qianjun had a son and nephew, and now he began to practice the means of slaying demons and eliminating demons, so he asked me to wait for the two of them to come over to find out.

I want to ask if I would like to serve in the yamen.

Not a bad thing! ”

As soon as he heard Li Zhutou say this, Second Uncle Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then Wang Ajiu's matter is really the paper on the villagers of my village?" ”

Li Zhutou nodded: "Although there are laws and regulations for this kind of thing, basically the people don't raise it, and the officials don't hold it accountable."

Moreover, there are very few folk women who are more than 14 unmarried.

If it weren't for someone complaining, the county would not have remembered such a thing at all.

Now it is not only necessary to make up the poll tax for two years, but also to check whether it has exceeded 16, and if it exceeds 16, it will be officially matched.

If the sixteen-year-old girl is really an official match, she will definitely not be worthy of any good family, most of them are elderly widows and widows.

Alas! Do evil!

After all, it's still the people of your village who are not in harmony! ”
