Chapter 42: Wu Zhen
Wu Mian is not around, and the old problem of not being cheap will be committed again. He smiled at Wu Zhen, who was in charge, and said, "It's all like this, everyone can find a place to wait for death." What's the matter?"
Wu Zhen raised his eyelids and glanced at whether he was returning, and after sneering, he said, "Let me tell you the rules, after you come in, every two of you will be assigned to a side room." Eating and living will not be disadvantageous to you, and during the day, as long as it is within the precinct of the county guard's house, you can come and go as you please, and if you find anything unusual, you must report it to me immediately. Lots are drawn once a day at the unitary hour, and the shortest one in the lottery will be offered that night, and if the gods have been offered before midnight, the second lot will be drawn at midnight. The winners continue to dedicate themselves to God."
After finishing speaking, Wu Zhen's eyes swept over the face of the returnee, and then looked at everyone and said: "You guys are here first, after a stick of incense, go to the front hall for breakfast" Speaking of this, Wu Zhen looked at the location of the gate, sighed, and continued: "Since you come in, accept your fate, don't think that you can get out of here, you have also seen the sergeants outside, as long as you dare to take a step out of the county guard's mansion, the bows and arrows outside will immediately string you into a hedgehog." The inside of the county guard is not as bad as you think, as long as your life is better than the others, you will live in it without worrying about food and clothing. It also saves you from running around to eat and stutter."
After finishing speaking, Wu Zhen ignored the people who returned or not, turned around and left here. The few people who didn't return to the body stayed where they were, just looking around in horror and not daring to move around. Only this old guy waited until Wu Zhen's figure was completely invisible, and then took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, flashed, retreated to the road on the left side outside, and walked all the way down.
Since entering the county guard's mansion, apart from the thin layer of mist, he has not found anything wrong with returning or not. The person who built this county guard mansion was a high-ranking person, and the yin and yang qi in the mansion were harmonious, and there was no evil appearance on the surface. But it was this layer of mist that made the return a little confusing, and after this mist touched the old guy's skin, there was no discomfort except for a slight sourness. It seems that this fog was introduced in a book I read recently. But I've read so many books like this that I can't remember the source of this fog at all.
The further you go, the thicker this fog becomes. After walking for a while, the fog in front of him faintly showed signs of materialization. The future is unknown and dangerous, and just when he was hesitating whether to continue walking, a voice suddenly sounded in the corner: "Oh, dare to continue walking-, I thought that your guts were eaten by dogs, and I can't imagine how much is left."
When the voice suddenly sounded, Gui Fu had already turned around, ready to run at any time. But after hearing the speaker's caustic tone clearly, he stopped moving. After sighing heavily, he turned his head with a tangled face, smiled bitterly at the corner where the voice came from, and said, "Can't you show up earlier? If there is something along the way, I really can't stand it."
Wu Mian emerged from the corner, ignoring the stubble, and after glancing left and right, he said to the old guy in front of him: "How is it, do you see something?"
He shook his head and said, "Except for this mist, I don't see any signs of evil at all. Let's just say that this fog doesn't look like an evil stream" Speaking of this, he sighed again, and after a pause, he continued: "It's not a matter of just hanging around like this, let's hand it over to the field, where is the location of that old thing's map?"
Wu Mian glanced at the place of return, and said: "The map only points to the location behind this house, with the style of your generous master, will you write the location of the map clearly at one time?" Speaking of this, Wu Mian paused, and after taking a long breath, he said with some hatred: "He has never written the map clearly......
After finishing speaking, the old man and the young sighed at the same time, and continued to walk towards the back of the house, where the fog was getting thicker. They circled around the back half of the house a few times, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Just as he was about to go back to the front hall and ask a few 'old men' from the county guard mansion to inquire about the haunted passage of the recent days, he saw two people coming out of the west wing. Looking at their sleepy-eyed appearances, they knew that they had just woken up and were about to go to the front hall for breakfast.
He walked over with a hippie smile, and after a few words, he almost reached the point where he had nothing to talk about with these two. The taller of these two people is called Gao Renyi, and the shorter one is called Su Qiu. Su Qiu was still down, he was a prisoner in the prison of Liaoxi County, just two days before he was about to be released, he was taken to this county guard's mansion, his luck was good, he was beaten for a month, and it was not his turn to sacrifice God.
Gao Renyi's luck is even better than him, he is a rare old man in the county guard mansion at the beginning, except for Wu Zhen, who is in charge, there is only one left, Gao Renyi. He used to work as a groom, tending to the cattle every day. is also his life is better than those unlucky ghosts, since the accident and death here to the present, only he and Wu Zhen have not had an accident, and they still eat and drink spicy food every day, Gao Renyi even has an illusion, the unlucky ghosts who won the lottery will never be able to take their turn, and it is not bad to have a drink like this.
After chatting for a while, whether to return or not to return has almost sorted out the context of this county guard from the accident to the present. When the first day of death, the people of the entire county guard were terrified, fearing that something bad would happen to them. Later, almost all of them collapsed in despair. At this time, Wu Zhen, a small steward in the house, had an idea. Rather than die in despair in such an unknown way, it is better to pre-determine the person who will offer to God, at least after this person is decided, the rest of the people will still have a peaceful day and night to live.
Later, after the prisoners in the Liaoxi County Prison were flooded in, they also followed Wu Zhen's approach. Because it was Wu Zhen who drew lots when he presided over the unitary, his status was invisibly raised, and until recently, in the entire county guard's mansion, he Wu Zhen seemed to be a person in charge.
Originally, I wanted to inquire about some other strange news, but I had already arrived in the front hall at this time, and there were already dozens of people inside, and it was not very convenient for everyone to see it, so I could only wait until I had the opportunity to ask again.
The food in the county guard mansion was delivered to the door by people from outside, and then sent by Wu Zhen to bring it in. Just such a breakfast with wine and meat, and bread, is indeed not a life that can be enjoyed outside in chaos. Although I know that this may be the last meal, the people inside seem to be used to this kind of life. Anyway, there is still half a day to live, not to mention that the lottery is only drawn at the time of the unitary, and the person who wins the lottery may not be himself, so let's deal with the current meal first.
After entering the front hall, Wu Mian was not polite, grabbed a piece of dough, wrapped it in a few bites of cooked meat and swallowed it. Just when he was about to do this again, Wu Zhen, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly pointed at Wu Mian and said, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"
