But if that's the case, why didn't Yun Niang tell him?

Zhang Jingxu's eyes flickered a few times.

I decided to try it again......

But before Zhang Jingxu continued to test, the girl Yunniang had already spoken first.

She seemed to want to interrupt the topic just now, and said hurriedly: "Oh, it's not early, I have to start working, otherwise I won't be able to finish making tofu before dawn......"

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved again, seeing through Yun Niang's mind of wanting to hide something.

But he didn't expose it, but nodded with a smile, and said: "After your reminder, it makes me a little embarrassed, we came to visit tonight, and we didn't bring any gifts empty-handed." This move not only disturbed Sun Yun's study, but also delayed the ...... of the two of you making tofu."

Zhang Jingxu paused for a moment, smiled again and said: "Fortunately, this matter can be made up, there are many people here tonight, everyone will help you finish your work early." ”

After finishing speaking, he deliberately gestured to Yun Niang with his eyes and said, "Look at us people, all of us are strong men, although we don't know how to make tofu, but we can help you...... How about it, girl, would you like to help? ”

After saying this, before Yun Niang could answer, the little scholar was the first to speak, stood there and waved his hand hurriedly, and said, "How can this be done?" How does this work? Sir, you are a guest at the door, how can a student let the guest work hard. It's so rude, it's so rude. ”

Zhang Jingxu smiled, deliberately put on an elder's style, and said: "You don't want to stop it, this is our heart, and we suddenly came to visit and disturbed your study." If we can't do something for your family, are you going to make it difficult for us? ”

"Huh? This, this ......"

The little scholar muttered twice, as if he was persuaded by Zhang Jingxu.

At this moment, the girl Yunniang spoke, as if cooperating with Zhang Jingxu, and deliberately pretended to be happy: "You want to help?" Okay, okay. With so many people helping me, I finally don't have to be too tired tonight......"

Hearing her say that she finally didn't have to be too tired, the little scholar's persistence seemed to relax instantly, and he subconsciously nodded: "Yes, it's good to have someone to help." Yun Niang doesn't have to be too tired, and I don't have to be too tired. ”

Yun Niang hurriedly said: "You don't have to be too tired, you don't have to work tonight!" With so many people helping me, I was able to finish making tofu in no time...... So Brother Sun Yun, you go directly to study. There aren't many opportunities like this, and it's not every day that guests come to help. ”

The little scholar nodded subconsciously and muttered, "Yes, there are not many opportunities like this." Someone helped Yun Niang with her work, and I could study with all my body and mind. ”

Zhang Jingxu struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's get started. Yun Niang girl, dare to ask what is the first step in making tofu? ”

Yun Niang walked to the corner of the house, picked up a wooden bucket with great difficulty, and said, "Let's go to the village well first and retrieve the beans soaked there." In case you don't know, the beans used to make tofu need to be soaked for a long time! ”

As he spoke, he walked to the door of the house, and signaled everyone to follow him with his eyes, and continued: "If you make tofu alone, then you must soak the beans in your own home." I need to carry water home every day, and it takes extra effort......"

"But Sunjiazhuang has been making tofu for generations, and has accumulated many ways to save energy for decades and hundreds of years, such as the whole village paying for beans and soaking them in a special well."

"After the beans are soaked, each family will take them according to their share of the money, so that they can save the step of carrying water home, and they can save a lot of physical strength."

Zhang Jingxu hurriedly pretended to be surprised and praised: "This is really a good way." ”

While speaking, he took the opportunity to follow him out, and the other officials also pretended to be pretending to say, and rushed to say, "Miss Yun Niang, we will help you carry the wooden barrel." ”

The little scholar chased after him, his tone seemed to be a little hesitant, and said, "Yun Niang, I... I... Am I going to go with me? ”

Yun Niang smiled at him and said softly: "Of course you are studying at home, there are not many such good opportunities." Work hard, and don't forget your ambitions. ”

Hearing the word ambition, the little scholar's eyes were in a trance, and he subconsciously said: "Yes, I have ambitions." I want to study and improve and change the poor ...... in the village."

He stood there in a daze, watching everyone follow Yun Niang out of the door.

……

But after everyone walked out of the courtyard gate, they suddenly found that there were some changes in the village.

The thick fog that used to envelop the entire village was much weaker at this time, and the color was no longer black, no longer like thick ink that could not be dissolved.

But everyone suffered a loss, and this time they didn't dare to relax their vigilance, and even all of them came to Zhang Jingxu's side, and asked cautiously: "Zhang Zhutou, are we being fascinated by ghosts again?" Why do you look at it and feel like it's foggy. ”

Zhang Jingxu frowned slightly, he also felt a little strange, just because he could clearly distinguish the authenticity of the environment with the help of the magic weapon......

The fog in the village has indeed thinned.

But!

Why?

It was already the most dangerous second half of the night, and it was supposed that the cold fog should be thicker.

But now, contrary to common sense, the fog is so thin that it has almost disappeared.

It's incomprehensible!

That's when ......

I vaguely heard Yun Niang's sigh.

There was a sadness in his voice, and his tone was inexplicably sad, and he said, "You don't have to doubt that all this is true. Whenever I started making tofu, he would subconsciously understand my hard work...... And at this time, his evil thoughts will be suppressed by good thoughts. ”

Zhang Jing's heart moved, and he took the opportunity to ask: "Is this him you are talking about, is it the him we just met?" ”

Yun Niang looked at Zhang Jingxu, gently bowed her head and admitted, "Yes!" That's him! ”

Zhang Jingxu hurriedly asked again: "Since there are good thoughts and evil thoughts, there must be good and evil deeds, so I want to ask, did he harm people when he had evil thoughts?" ”

When you have evil thoughts, have you ever harmed anyone?

This question made Yun Niang silent, and she seemed unwilling to answer.

But after she was silent for a while, she finally opened her mouth again, but instead of answering directly, she asked Zhang Jingxu rhetorically, and said, "Sir, I guess you are a person who has a cultivation body." He once told me that this kind of person can subdue demons and subdue demons to destroy evil ghosts. ”

Zhang Jingxu groaned, and also asked rhetorically: "Why is Miss Yun Niang so guessing?" ”

But seeing Yun Niang's eyes looking at him, it fell on the grass in Zhang Jingxu's hand, and said quietly: "The little woman can feel that the grass in your hand is extraordinary." It seems to be as weak as a mustard, but it faintly exudes strength......"

said with a bitter smile, and then said: "This kind of power, very powerful, makes me have a clear and abnormal feeling, you only need to shake the grass to kill me." ”

"So, sir, you're a cultivator, aren't you? And this little grass in your hand should be the legendary magic weapon, right? ”

Zhang Jingxu didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either, he just nodded vaguely, and said with a pointed tone: "Actually, Miss Yun Niang doesn't need to worry about anything, because Zhang is not the kind of person who doesn't ask right or wrong." Even if I do practice, I won't do it for no reason. ”

After a slight pause, he continued the topic just now, and asked again: "You haven't answered me yet, did he hurt anyone when he had evil thoughts?" ”

This time she asked, Yun Niang was no longer silent, but she still didn't answer directly, but asked again, and said, "Mr. Would you like to personally experience the hard work of making tofu once?" ”

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved, and then nodded without hesitation, and said softly: "If Miss Yunniang plans to answer me through this method, then Zhang is very willing to experience it ......for himself."

Yun Niang sighed faintly and said softly: "You come with me!" ”

After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and led the way, Zhang Jingxu glanced at everyone with her eyes, and motioned for everyone to follow and take a look.

He had a gut feeling that the investigation was about to come to light.

In the end, the little scholar is not an evil ghost.

Did he kill the villagers?

All this should be about to be revealed!

……

But it was said that Yun Niang led everyone, all the way along the village road, and gradually a well appeared in front of her, like a beast with a big mouth open in the night.

I only heard Yun Niang's faint voice, as if telling a story: "He has been poor since he was a child, but he is determined to want to study, in fact, he doesn't like to read, he just wants to change the poverty of the villagers through reading." ”

"But the villagers of Sunjiazhuang, perhaps because they have been poor for too long, even think that this is whimsical, and think that they should make tofu for generations."

"They laughed at him, they were indifferent to him, and even gradually turned into oppression, blatant and constant oppression."

"What a ridiculous thing this is!"

"The Poor Ignore Good Intentions, but Deceive Each Other Cruelly"

"The well you see in front of you is where the whole village soaks beans together. Every family in the village makes tofu, and they take the beans home from here. ”

"He's the same, he's doing the tofu work. Although he hated it from the bottom of his heart, he had to do it for food and clothing. ”

"Only by ensuring food and clothing can he continue to study."

"But as I said earlier, he doesn't really like to read......"

"What he really likes is the craft of carving."

"That year, he carved a young girl out of tofu!"

"That year, he carried a wooden barrel to the well to get beans!"

The night was deep and silent, and Yun Niang's words seemed to be a little jumpy, incoherent, and often one topic suddenly jumped to another.

But Zhang Jingxu did not remind him, but chose to let it speak naturally.

At this time, everyone had arrived at the well, Yun Niang looked at the mouth of the well with gloomy eyes, her face seemed to be sad, and her tone was like a whisper, she continued: "Do you know where his body is? It's in this well where the whole village is soaked in beans......"

Everyone was amazed!

In the well, there is the corpse of a little scholar?

The whole village soaked beans in this well and took them home to make tofu to sell, doesn't this mean that many people have eaten tofu soaked in corpses?

But this is not something that everyone cares about, what everyone really cares about is why the corpse of the little scholar is in the well.

And just when everyone was confused, the voice of the girl Yunniang sounded again, sounding like she was crying, full of deep sadness.

"They blatantly oppressed him!"

"They snatched the beans that belonged to him"

"The whole village paid for it together, every family has a share, and the ancestors have taken what they need for generations, why did they start to grab ......?"

"He just wanted to argue a few words, and they just beat him to death here! When the body fell into the well, they didn't even want to catch it! ”

"How hateful, how hateful they are."

"A young man who is bent on changing the poverty of his village is beaten to death by a group of people he is bent on saving."

"From then on, the corpses were in dry wells. The cold and cool well water, the darkness erodes him......"

"Sir, do you judge the reason, is his experience pitiful?"

The eyes of the girl Yunniang stared directly at Zhang Jingxu.

Zhang Jingxu let out a sigh softly, nodded solemnly: "Your question is easy to answer, anyone will answer it pitifully!" ”

But after Zhang Jingxu finished answering, his tone immediately changed, and he asked more solemnly: "But the question I asked just now, girl, you have never answered." When the little scholar had evil thoughts, did he harm the people in the village......"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "Or I should change the question, after all, he was killed by the people first." Under this premise, even retaliation is justified. ”

"Then Miss Yun Niang, can you answer me now, did he take revenge on the people when he had evil thoughts?"
