On the dirt road on the outskirts of Yuanjiang County, Yi Shuyuan walked with a fan, lying on his shoulders with great interest.

"Sir, aren't we going to say goodbye to the gods of Konan Mountain and the predecessors of Song? There is also the county god of Yuanjiang County. ”

"The last time in the underworld was already a farewell, so why do you need to go out of your way to say it again?"

Yi Shuyuan is a very casual person, and saying goodbye to this kind of thing once is enough, and there is no need to repeat it three times or twice, especially when there is nothing special to explain.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and being too affectionate makes Yi Shuyuan feel troublesome.

"Don't think about these first, it's important to find a doll, and, sir, I can finally be a storyteller comfortably, benefit from the southwest, the edge is in the northeast, and go-"

——

After a period of time, Yuanjiang County Yanei.

Chu Hang, who had played around again, returned to Yuanjiang County, and did not go to his uncle first, but went straight to the county yawenku.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, I'll bring you something interesting, Yi."

Chu Hang's footsteps stopped, it was not unusual for the door of the library to be closed, but when he walked to the door, he found that there was actually a lock on the door.

What's going on?

Chu Hang grabbed the door lock and took a look, and leaned in front of the door to look inside through the window paper, but he couldn't see anything.

Find your uncle!

Chu Hang hurriedly ran to the official office of the main bookkeeper, and as soon as he entered the door, he made a "bang" and collided with Wu Minggao.

One fell to the ground, the other staggered back, each wailing.

"Oops" "Ahhh

"Hiss"

Wu Minggao and Chu Hang rubbed their shoulders and their heads on the other, and when the former saw that it was his nephew, he suddenly became angry.

"You rabbit cub, what kind of effort are you running around, this is the county office!"

"Uncle. Are you alright? I'm not in a hurry."

Chu Hang hurriedly went to help Wu Minggao and helped him to the seat, Wu Minggao asked angrily.

"What's the urgency?"

Chu Hang suddenly spoke.

"Uncle, what about Mr. Yi? Did he put the lock on the library? ”

"It turns out that you don't know that Mr. Yi has resigned from his position as a clerk and left the county government."

"Huh?"

Chu Hang was stunned for a moment.

"Gone? Why did you leave all of a sudden? How could he go? ”

Hearing this, Wu Minggao's anger came up again, and he shook off Chu Hang's hand.

"What? Can't go? Do you want Mr. Yi to be a county official for the rest of your life? It's just that you don't know how to learn it yourself, Mr. Yi is a great talent, and it is impossible to condescend to this all the time! ”

"No, no, uncle, I didn't mean that!"

Chu Hang felt very uncomfortable now, and he also cried with a sad face when he explained.

"Did Mr. Yi mention me?"

"Alas!"

Wu Minggao sighed, how could he have such an unsuccessful nephew, he stood up and took out a letter from the wooden box of the bookcase behind him.

"I did mention you, this is Mr. Yi's resignation letter, and the second line at the end mentions you, see for yourself."

Chu Hang immediately took the letter, and Wu Minggao was frightened when he looked in a hurry.

This letter is also equivalent to a calligraphy work, and leaving a name is equivalent to a signature.

"Rabbit, be careful, don't spoil this letter for me!"

"Yes, yes, yes"

Chu Hang's movements were as gentle as possible, and after taking out the letterhead, he roughly browsed the front, all of which were not nutritious for him, and his name was not until the last two lines.

"Lord Wangwu told Brother Chu that his affairs are not in a hurry for the time being, don't worry, Yi will naturally visit if he has the opportunity."

Chu Hang frowned, what does it mean to have the opportunity to visit? So what about the chance?

"What kind of dumb riddle is Mr. Yi playing with you? What's your business? ”

Chu Hang put down the letter paper and made it up casually.

"That is, I just want to ask Mr. Yi for teaching and calligraphy."

"This is still like a little talk, okay, I was confused and forgotten by you, I still have to go to Lord Lin's side!"

Wu Minggao stood up again, glanced at Chu Hang, and put the letter away before leaving.

Chu Hang stood indoors and stared dryly, thinking that it would be at least next year, why did he leave suddenly, no, he had to go to Mr. Yi's house to find him!

However, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, Chu Hang is destined to not find Yi Shuyuan.

——

August 24, cold dew, early morning foggy.

On the edge of a clear ditch, Yi Shuyuan rolled up his sleeves and walked to the edge of the shoal, squatted down and held a pool of clear water in both hands.

Then Yi Shuyuan slapped the water on his face and scrubbed it, and wisps of water flowed and beads of water wrapped around his hands, and they did not splash out immediately.

"Bang la blah"

When Yi Shuyuan had washed enough, his hands withdrew, and all the muddy water was scattered with his hands.

At Yi Shuyuan's feet, there was also a gray and white mink doing similar things, cleaning itself with river water, and washing all its limbs and paws.

"Sir, after this area, you should be in Xiuzhou, right?"

Yi Shuyuan stood up, and across the ditch, in the hazy mist, he could vaguely see a village, or a village.

"We should already be in Xiuzhou, but this area is relatively desolate, and we can't see the town all the time."

"Wouldn't it be faster to fly over?"

Yi Shuyuan looked at Gray Mian.

"You guy, we are following that fate to implicate the doll, not in a hurry, flying around is fast, God knows if it is too much all of a sudden!"

"Let's go, let's find someone to buy something to eat."

"I also want to buy condiments for cooking!"

As he spoke, he pulled Yi Shuyuan's shirt and jumped on his shoulder a few times.

The river is deep and shallow, and there are many large pebbles in Yi Shuyuan's place, and the river water is crystal clear, so he can easily cross the river by stepping on the stones.

The fog never dissipated, but it didn't affect Yi Shuyuan's sense of direction.

As I walked, I felt like I was stepping on a dirt road in some barren places under my feet, and I could also step on some axle prints.

On the side of the dirt road, Yi Shuyuan suddenly found a small house, which was really the kind of small house that was only half a person high.

This is a small temple that is generally built for land.

Although it is not as magnificent as the grand temple, at least it allows the earth to have a place to live, and the body can enjoy the incense offerings.

It's just that when Yi Shuyuan walked to the temple with a little curiosity and wanted to see what the level of this clay sculpture was, he suddenly found that the clay sculpture in the small temple had its head cut off!

"Hiss"

The ash on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder gasped, the hair on his body exploded, and he instinctively felt a little uneasy.

"First, sir, the head of the land lord, the head is gone"

"Maybe it's an empty temple without gods, right?"

Yi Shuyuan also felt a little numb in his scalp, this is not the place of the previous life, people's awe of the gods is very strong, who dares to casually remove the head of the clay sculpture?

"There's really not much incense."

Yi Shuyuan said so, but not much does not mean nothing, he took a few steps closer to the small temple, squatted down and carefully studied the clay sculpture.

"Sir, I'm panicking, let's go quickly"

Ash pulled Yi Shuyuan's sideburns, not wanting to stay here.

"Alas, you're a monster, what are you afraid of?"

"But."

Being messed up like this by Gray Mian, Yi Shuyuan's nervousness is gone, but the sense of substitution is also less.

However, Yi Shuyuan understood that his synaesthesia was extremely strong, and after a little hesitation, he pulled up the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand and stretched out his right arm towards the temple.

"Don't blame, don't blame."

Muttering like this, Yi Shuyuan's fingers touched the broken neck of the clay sculpture, and a sharp feeling was touched by him like a touch.

Lingjue presented a hazy perception in a trance, and Yi Shuyuan's eyes were slightly closed, leaving only the afterglow, as if he wanted to see something from the afterglow.

"Meow—"

A sharp and terrifying sound sounded in his mind in an instant, startling Yi Shuyuan's body trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

This is like a cat meow, but it is too poignant and sharp, and it is too terrifying, it is a kind of sudden change from the second sound to the fourth tone, and at this moment, Yi Shuyuan's mind is full of sounds.

It's not like the cute cat in Yi Shuyuan's impression can be sent out at all.

This synaesthesia was very strong, and when Yi Shuyuan withdrew his hand, goosebumps on his arms had already erupted.

"Monster! And it's vicious! ”

Yi Shuyuan rubbed his arms and lowered his sleeves.

"This monster even dares to cut off the head of the land lord, sir, let's go quickly!"

Gray Mian was extremely afraid, he had been following Yi Shuyuan for a long time, and he had been cultivating with Yi Shuyuan, which made Gray Mian's spiritual sense become stronger unconsciously.

Although Gray Mian can't have intuitive feelings like Yi Shuyuan, let alone hear that terrible howl, his intuition is not bad at this time.

Yi Shuyuan frowned and looked at the village in the distance.

"Let's go over there first!"

After all, he is also a person who prides himself on cultivating immortals, Yi Shuyuan can't sit idly by, at least he has to find out a little bit about the situation.

As Yi Shuyuan said, there was a village over there, and the whole village was fenced off.

The dirt road leads to the front of the village, where stone arches have been erected, perhaps because it is too early, and the two wooden gates are still closed.

There are obviously people in the village, at least in this Yi Shuyuan, you can feel the anger of people.

This also made Yi Shuyuan breathe a sigh of relief, he was afraid that it would be a dead village in front of him.

However, Yi Shuyuan also made a mistake when he stood in front of the door.

"Do you think we'll be beaten as thieves if we jump right in?"

Yi Shuyuan joked, and without waiting for Gray Mian to reply, he directly slammed the door.

"Bang bang."

"Anyone? It's easy to open the door and let you in—anyone—"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Yi Shuyuan's knocking on the door was quite loud, and soon there were footsteps at the entrance of the village.

"Squeak squeak"

The door was slowly opened from the inside, but only a crack was opened, and something was stuck in the corner, and a man peered out through the crack in the door.

Yi Shuyuan immediately cooperated and walked to the range where they could see clearly.

"Brother, it looks like a Confucian student?" "Ask and talk!"

The discussion of the two people inside was all heard by Yi Shuyuan, and he waited for the other party to ask.

"Where are you from? You're alone? ”

"Yes, I came from the other side of the mountain, and the carriage and horses along the way took a ride, and I walked a ride by myself, and when I saw that there was a village here, I wanted to come and buy food!"

Over the hill?

After two sentences, there were more than two people in the door, and seven or eight more men gathered, some of whom were holding sticks, iron rakes and other things in their hands.

"It's all miasma on both sides of the mountain, how did you get here? I don't know if there is a noise here? ”

Malaria?

Yi Shuyuan replied almost immediately.

"I don't know, I came with a team of carriages and horses, and when I got to this area, they didn't take me, I came from a foreign country, and I didn't know that there were ringing horses here."

On the wall of the village, someone climbed up to take a look, and it was indeed only Yi Shuyuan.

Then it was obvious that something was being discussed inside, and it didn't take long for the door of the village to slowly open.

At this moment, there were nearly ten men inside the door, and they saw Yi Shuyuan standing alone outside the door.

When Yi Shuyuan saw this battle, he was so "frightened" that his body shook and shrank back a few steps, and his face showed a look of panic.

"Hey, hey, I'm just a passerby, I have neither money nor goods, I have something to say"

As soon as he saw that the people outside the door were frightened, the people inside the door became relaxed.
