The two girls not only hired ox carts, but also six farmer men, all of whom were very honest in temperament and worked very hard.

Because Zhang Jingxu revealed the identity of the head catcher and said that there was a homicide here, after making some officialdom explanations, the croppers were not very afraid of corpses.

What the people of Pingtou are afraid of is that the mountain bandits are committing crimes and ghosts harming people, but now it is a county government official who catches the head to investigate the case, and the corpses involved in the case need to be moved back......

What's there to be afraid of, besides, there is money to be taken.

Because the people in this area were so poor, the two ox carts and manpower were actually put together by five villages, and four of them produced a cart and a cow respectively, not only the cart and the ox, but also one person each.

As for the last village, the poor had neither a car nor a cow, so they had to sell coolies and mix up coolie money.

So the work of carrying the corpse to the car was rushed by these two crop men.

……

From this barren mountain ancient temple back to Yicheng County, the road is about more than 80 miles, if it is left in the future, it will not take an hour to drive, but in ancient times when the road is difficult to travel, the ox cart has to go at least a day and a half.

But the current time is already noon of the day.

This also means that no matter how fast they spend, they must be on the road tonight and will not be able to return to Yicheng County until noon tomorrow.

As for finding a place to stay at night, there is absolutely no village willing to take it in, and the mortuary at night is very treacherous, and no matter how generous the people are, they can't take the corpse in the village.

Even, it is not possible to stop at the entrance of the village, the people may not have the courage to drive away the head catcher of a county government, but they will definitely let the ladies of the family stand at the entrance of the village and scold.

Even if he doesn't scold, he will splash and roll, and use all means to drive Zhang Jingxu and others away.

In short, there is only one case, and it is the same in any village in this world, because of the danger of the night since ancient times, no village will stay in a vehicle to transport the corpse.

Therefore, I had to travel overnight.

After all, there are too many poor people in this world, and they have to gamble for their lives, gambling on their luck, and it is not him who gambles on ghosts and things.

Since ancient times, although it is dangerous at night, there are not many cases of rushing at night, and the reason is very simple, it is more difficult to be poor than death......

……

It is said that it is transported by ox carts, but in fact, the croppers are reluctant to let the cattle work hard, although they let the cattle pull the cart, but they push the cart behind.

It seems that he is used to selling coolies, so he does not feel like an animal, but is quite excited along the way, constantly discussing how to spend the money after earning it.

Some said that they wanted to buy farm tools for their families, some said that they wanted to buy some cloth for their wives and children, and even mentioned snacks, preparing to buy a little to satisfy their children's hunger.

The yearning for life was full of their generous faces, and Zhang Jing's heart warmed when he saw it, and an indescribable warm current was born inexplicably.

The common people of this world, they don't ask for much, they obviously don't ask much, but they have to endure boundless suffering.

The gods set up forbidden places and raised thousands of ghosts to plunder, and what they took seemed to be the merits of heaven and earth, but in fact they were robbed of the common people in the human world.

When people die, ghosts have karma, and then they destroy ghosts and take merit and merit.

This is clearly a leak in the law of drilling heaven and earth.

It can be seen from this that heaven and earth seem to be incomplete.

Zhang Jingxu was speechless all the way, silently following the ox cart, seemingly silent, and his heart was churning.

He became more and more determined in his ambition.

……

The road was rough, the ox carts were long, and as time went by, the sky gradually darkened.

The expressions of the six crop men began to be nervous, and there was no longer the excitement and cheerfulness of the day.

Even they no longer pushed the cart hard, but let the oxen bear all the force of pulling the cart, apparently they were saving their strength for all kinds of contingencies during the night.

This is the experience accumulated by the poor people, and a little more physical strength may be able to survive in danger.

Zhang Jingxu was quite sad, and he had another layer of experience for the difficulties of the people.

Knowing that the night is dangerous, but still choosing to be hired, the word poor is not just a word, it forces the poor to surrender their lives to luck......

The night came quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth suddenly turned pitch black, and the boundless thick fog covered the entire land.

It was cold and cold, as if there were powerful ghosts hidden everywhere in the darkness, staring at the flesh-and-blood living people all the time.

The six farmer men had gathered together, their expressions visibly becoming more nervous, and they drove the ox cart in fear, trying to hold the lighted torches.

However, the fog was so thick that the torches did not light the road at all, so they could only follow the ruts on the ground and walk cautiously.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a bright light in front of him, and between the shadows, it seemed that a gorgeous house was standing.

And at the door of the mansion, there stood an old man with a peaceful face, and from a distance, he waved at them, and said, "It is very difficult to travel at night, are you not afraid of encountering evil spirits?" It's really hard to make money. ”

As he spoke, the old man walked tremblingly on crutches, sighed and said, "Descendants, don't go any further, stop quickly, and set off again at dawn." ”

The six croppers were all stunned, and subconsciously said: "However, we can't stay, we are in two cars, and we are pulling four corpse ......."

Before the word 'corpse' of the corpse was finished, the old man had already let out a long sigh and said, "The old man understands, the old man understands, you are transporting the corpses of the dead, so you can't find a village to stay in." But the old man doesn't care about such a thing, and can't bear to see you in danger at night. I have a spare house in my house where you can spend the night. ”

The six crops were pleasantly surprised, and said in a trembling voice: "Really? Would you like to stay overnight? ”

The old man's face was full of compassion, his face was solemn and kind, slowly, and nodded.

The six croppers were even more surprised, and couldn't help but look back at Yun Jingshu, and said hurriedly: "Employer, have you heard, this old man is willing to stay, the old man is willing to stay......"

Yun Jingshu's eyes were gloomy, and he nodded calmly.

Next to Zhang Jingxu's eyes was deep, the corners of his mouth seemed to be curled, and Xiao Niuniu was lying in the arms of the little bell, and a small hand was already quietly covered with scales.

At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke again, as if he was very serious: "Although the old man is willing to stay, but he is not staying in vain, I will not take your money, but I want you to answer my question......

Answer the question?

Is this a thing?

The six crop men didn't think about it, and almost blurted out: "Okay, okay, you can ask casually." ”

But seeing the old man's eyes flickering, there seemed to be an inexplicable expectation, and even the tone of his voice became much more eager, and he looked at a common man and asked, "Tell me, am I like a human?" ”

Uh-huh?

The farmer's face was full of bewilderment.

What kind of problem is this?
