Chapter 36: Ten Thousand Empty Alleys

Hearing Jiao Yulang's frightened words, Qi Jingzhi hurriedly explained to Grandpa: "That senior just looks vicious, he listens to the errand under the mountain god seat, and takes care of this mountain forest, he is half a yin god, but he is not a demon." ”

As he spoke, he stuffed most of the hairs into Qi Laohan's hands: "The seniors have already nodded, grandpa, you can also be protected by it if you ignite the hairs." It already knows the location of our house, and if it comes as a guest, Grandpa will entertain it as a relative. ”

Qi Laohan was familiar with his grandson's temperament, so he immediately believed it, and hurriedly said: "It's too much, you always go into the mountains, so you should bring more, and it is enough to leave two or three for grandpa." ”

Qi Jingzhi immediately shook his head: "I don't need so much at once, Grandpa will keep it for me first." ”

Qi Laohan also felt justified when he heard it, so he gave up.

As the three of them spoke, the whole Shanqian Village gradually became noisy with dogs barking, and many villagers soon appeared on the mountain road.

These neighbors who looked down and didn't look up rushed to the front, and when they saw the tiger skin, they couldn't help but shout again, and they hugged the grandchildren of the Qi family and walked to the county seat.

Along the way, people kept hearing the news, and several big families in the township even rushed to reward them.

Everyone put a piece of red on Qi Jingzhi, and helped him to a tall and sturdy mule, beating gongs and drums, firecrackers and firecrackers, and delaying a lot of effort in a hurry, and then they rushed towards the county seat.

The county town had already gotten the news, and there was a sea of people inside the West City Gate, which was even more boiling than the day Lu Ao was taken away.

It was rare for the guards at the gate to be so neat, and they all lit torches and divided into two columns at the city gate, struggling to maintain order.

On the street, the people in the county helped the old and the young, and they stretched their necks one after another, all wanting to see the heroic posture of the tiger hero.

Who knew that the first person to come in from the city gate hole was not a tiger hero, but two people first sounded the gong to open the way, followed by a gate board carried by four people.

There is a huge tiger skin on the top of the door panel, with a hideous tiger head in front, and the tiger's eyes are slightly closed, as if it is just taking a nap.

This huge tiger skin was like a colorful brocade quilt, covering the tiger bed tightly, and the four tiger legs and one tiger tail could not be put down, and drooped down along the edge of the tiger bed, almost hanging to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the originally noisy voices on the street suddenly fell silent, except for the sound of gongs, only the sound of continuous inhalation remained, as if a gust of wind was blowing on the flat ground.

Behind the tiger bed, there is a healthy mule surrounded by everyone, and on the back of the mule sits a young man with straight eyebrows and bright eyes.

The quiet crowd suddenly became agitated, and the voices of discussion were everywhere, but most of them did not believe it.

"Obediently, at such a young age, you can kill such a majestic mountain monarch?"

"Didn't you say that the evil barrier on Nangang has been burned to ashes, why did this come out again?"

"Do you believe that? Look at this tiger skin's back, such a conspicuous burn! It's clear that he wasn't burned to death at the beginning, and ran away with his injuries! ”

"You can't go wrong! This little brother has a good fate, picking up such a big credit for nothing, and the bounty of the big families in the county before was a hundred taels, right? ”

Wan Dutou rushed back to the county to report the news, and rushed to the city gate to greet him, and was following Qi Jingzhi at this time.

He heard the discussion around him, and hurriedly raised his eyes to see that the young man on the back of the mule looked calm, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this matter was caused by his efforts, and if it was done badly, it would not be fun to annoy this evil star.

With this thought in his heart, Wan Dutou immediately rushed to the front of the team, raised his hand to stop the team, and said in a loud voice: "Fathers, everyone must know me, and those who don't know me should also know my skin." Wan Mou vouched for his life here, this tiger was indeed killed by this Qi brother! ”

As he spoke, he hugged his fist to the young man on the mule's back: "Today, Wan went to Shanqian Village on business, and happened to meet Brother Qi, who was covered in blood and came out of the mountain wearing a tiger skin. ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the group echoed in loud voices.

Wan Du raised his head and pressed it down, and then said: "This beast escaped from the hands of Lord Wuyun Si Dong of the Demon Suppression Academy, and secretly hid in Komatsu Mountain to recuperate. If it weren't for Brother Qi's death, he would have jumped out one day, and I don't know how many lives he would have had! Let's talk about it, is Brother Qi a hero, is he a hero? ”

Hearing him say this, most of the suspicions of the onlookers immediately disappeared, and when they looked at Qi Jing again, their perceptions were different.

I heard someone shout loudly: "Since it is the head of Wandu as a guarantor, what else do we not believe?" Although Qi Xiaoying is young, he is really good! ”

"What a young man fighting a tiger general, it's really good! We have such a good man in Songling County, and when we go out in the future, we don't have to be afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards! ”

"But no, who has passed by Nangang in the past few days, which one is not worried? Now I'm completely relieved! ”

For a time, the streets were full of applause and cheers.

Seeing this, Wan Dutou waved his hand in satisfaction, and the long snake-like procession moved forward again, but much slower than before, because the onlookers rushed up to the center of the street, and they all wanted to take a good look at the young man on the back of the mule.

Those who were closest to the front row finally saw the traces of blood on the young man's body, and their faces couldn't help but add a little awe.

Wan Du turned his head and saw that under the light of the fire, the young man's eyes were still clear and his expression was indifferent, as if the previous group of doubts and the current praise had nothing to do with him.

Jiao Yulang raised his head and said with a smile: "Young man fights tiger general!" The nickname of the elder brother is much more majestic than the younger brother's flying rat! ”

Qi Jingzhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and his mind was long gone: "Originally, it was to completely end Chen Er's matter and not to cause disaster to Grandpa, so I agreed to Wandutou, but I didn't expect it to make such a big fuss." The two ghost boys fled simply, and the tiger king behind him died many of his subordinates, and even damaged a so-called flower dress, and he definitely won't give up. ”

"Originally, the tiger spirit was dead, and most of the ghosts had expired, and the tiger king didn't know who my surname was, so he would only go to Komatsu Mountain first to find the bad luck of his predecessors. But now that my reputation has spread, sooner or later it will fall into his ears, and it will cause trouble to Grandpa. Alas, if you don't notice it, you will bring disaster! ”

"But if you don't agree to Wandutou's invitation, neither of you can really feel at ease, Chen Er's affairs are always hanging above his head, and there are also endless troubles, so he can't slaughter all the officials present, right?"

"It's useless to regret it now, it's better to go to the county town Demon Captain and poke out the matter of the Tiger King. This is the matter of the Demon Suppression Courtyard, how can I let my little body carry it alone? ”

The young man's thoughts were numerous, and the team was close to the county office.

A small official stood at the door of the ya, and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Wandutou, the county lord has already known about the righteous people of this county to extinguish the tiger trouble, and specially set up a banquet in the flower hall to entertain the grandchildren of the Qi family." You and your brethren have a reward, but if it is too late to-day, let the people disperse first, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Wandu immediately responded, ordered his subordinates, and led the Qi family's grandson and Jiao Yulang to the county back hall.

When the little official saw this, he smiled and accepted it, but he didn't say anything.

The group soon arrived at the flower hall in the back hall, and saw that a sumptuous table had been placed in the hall, and the Songling county commander was dressed in civilian clothes and stood in front of the hall early to greet him.

There were also two escorts beside the county order, one was actually Meng Fuzi, who he had only met not long ago, and the other was a tall, thin middle-aged man with a slightly dark complexion, Qi Jingzhi didn't recognize it.

The old man Qi on the side suddenly grabbed his grandson's arm and said in a low voice: "Don't make a mess later!" ”

At the same time, Wan Dutou had already rushed forward to greet him: "I have seen the county lord and the master of the history of the county!" Meng Fuzi in person, Wan Mou was polite! ”

The Songling County Commander, headed by more than 40 people, is white and fat, very good-looking, and does not wear official uniforms, looking more like a rich businessman.

He nodded towards Mando and said with a kind smile: "Since you are here, you can also accompany you." ”

Wandutou was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly introduced it to everyone.

The county order is surnamed Xiong, and his name is Taifeng.

The surname of the classic history is Hou, and the name is Changqi.

Because of Grandpa's instructions and the presence of Master Meng, Qi Jingzhi just glanced at this Hou Dianshi expressionlessly, and then looked away, and did not attack on the spot.

Hou Dianshi's face doesn't seem to be thin, and he also turns a blind eye to the indifference of the young man.

Originally, the grandchildren of the Qi family were all grass people, and the officials should kneel, Xiong County Ling was a person who knew the inside story of the tiger spirit, and he didn't dare to hold it up at all, and the smile on his face was as kind as a spring breeze, and he took the first step and said: "A few people don't have to be polite, please come to the table!" ”

After that, the county magistrate stepped forward very eagerly, grabbed Qi Laohan's arm and let him into the hall, and his mouth was even more like an old man, and he couldn't help but say that he invited Qi Laohan to sit on the main seat.

Then, Xiong County Ling arranged for Meng Fuzi, Qi Jingzhi and Jiao Yulang to sit on Qi Laohan's right hand side in turn, and he himself sat on Qi Laohan's left hand side with Hou Dianshi and Wan Dutou.

A table was seated, and several officials had already carried the tiger bed in, and a tiger head was facing everyone.

Wan Dutou was just about to open his mouth to ask the two masters to inspect it, when he saw Xiong Xianling's slightly fat body bounce up from his seat suddenly, and his face was full of horror that could not be concealed: "Hurry up and lift it out!" It's lying here, how can the official eat? ”
