Chapter 222: Ergou, Something Happened at Home
The production of special stones is limited, and it is normal to not be able to dig it out for three or four days.
The monks also changed from paying silver on a daily basis to paying the amount of ore they turned in. And the monks no longer live permanently, and only come to collect it once every ten days and half a month.
Fortunately, the woman in white was lucky enough to dig out a stone every day with a pickaxe, and it grew more and more.
It's just that the other people in the village are not good, and there are fewer and fewer stones that can be dug up, and those stones seem to have spirits, as long as the woman in white arrives at the mine, she will take the initiative to jump out.
It was clear that there was no special stone in the place where it had been dug, but when the woman in white kicked it with her foot, a piece would fly out.
Grandpa really didn't want to go, they were all from the same village, and they couldn't do so much, so they discussed that the woman in white could only go to the mine once every four days. They also take care of villagers who can't dig up stones.
So the woman in white began to be idle, and the rest of the time she followed the fields and learned how to sew and mend clothes from the neighbor's aunt.
But the "simple folk customs" in the village, coupled with the woman's waist-length white hair, gradually, the news that the woman in white was a demon spread, and the family began to be poked in the backbone.
Wang Ergou has been fighting more and more times because of this, and Ergou is weak because he was born prematurely and often gets sick. But since the woman in white came, Ergou's body has become stronger and stronger, and he has never been sick again.
Ergou and grandpa don't think that the woman in white is a demon, this is a lucky star.
But only Ergou knows that his body has improved because of those strange points of light. It's just that the point of light has suddenly disappeared recently, which makes Ergou cry out for pity.
"Sister, it's time to eat!" Ergou ran to the back mountain and shouted to the woman in white who was washing clothes here.
The woman in white, who was still slow, became energetic when she heard this, and swished to wash and wring out the clothes, and even used too much force to wring a piece of clothing to pieces.
"Hurry up, hurry up, go home and eat!" The woman in white has been urging beside her, but the second dog, who was originally running over, is now physically exhausted and walks slowly.
The woman in white, who was still smiling and waiting for Ergou, suddenly sank her face, "Ergou, something happened at home." ”
"Be quiet for labor and management, we only come here to do three things, stones, stones, and stones."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we handed over the stone a few days ago, and now we don't have it in hand!"
"Yes, yes, we have it~"
Before he could finish speaking, the man was slashed in the neck.
"Don't talk nonsense with us, I don't know your little tricks, put the stones in the box in a proper manner, if you can't fill it, you just wait to die!"
At this time, the whole village knelt together, and dozens of mountain bandits with the smell of blood on their bodies surrounded the village with bright weapons.
Dead, dead.
The villagers panicked and hurriedly returned home to put the hoarded stones into the box, but the box was unusually large, and the villagers did not have much stock, and in the end it was only half filled.
The leader of the bandits glanced at the box, "You guys are so rude, we came here on a trek of mountains and rivers, and you entertained us like this?" This half of a box of stones is sent to those who ask for food! ”
The leader glanced at it, and several mountain bandits on the side randomly selected a lucky villager, and Couts was a knife.
"I'll give you a sample, that's the price of a crate that isn't full, and from now on, I'm going to kill one every once in a while until the crate is full."
The bandits looked around, and every villager did not dare to raise their heads.
When the time had come, the bandits pulled out a man from the crowd, and the man was screaming for help with all his might, but now everyone was in danger and had no time to take care of themselves.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I know where there are stones."
Before the mountain bandits could ask, the man pointed his finger at Wang Ergou's grandfather, "There must be a stone in their house that hasn't been taken out." Several uncles, every time the family goes to the mine, they can dig out a lot of stones, more than this box. ”
"Wang Chong, you are also a member of the village, you can't see death without saving, your family must have a lot of stones hidden, if you don't take it out now, will you wait for us to die before taking it out!"
"That's it, obviously there are stones in the house but don't take them out, I have long known that this family has no good intentions, and this disaster may be caused by the female ghost of his family."
"Lao Wang, you hurry up and take out the stone, you can't be too selfish."
Wang Chong has been honest all his life, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing today.
The mountain bandit didn't talk nonsense, he directly picked up the elderly Grandpa Wang and gave him a few slaps, "This is just a lesson, you, take out the stone immediately." ”
Blood flowed from the corners of Wang Chong's mouth and kept pleading, "A few uncles are good, we really don't have any stones in our house, most of this box is given by my family, if you don't believe it, you can go back with me to look for it carefully, it's really gone." ”
The leader nodded, and several mountain bandits rushed into Wang's house and turned it upside down, but there were indeed no stones.
"A group of waste, so many people, can't even fill a box, what is the point of you living, send this group of useless people to the underworld to enjoy happiness!"
It is inevitable that there will be no living mouth, after all, if you grab a stone, if it is known by people outside, it will become the target of public criticism.
"Uncles, don't do it yet, I know how to get stones quickly."
The leader said with amusement, "Stop, what's the solution?" ”
"Can I change my life if I say it?"
"Do you think you're qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
This person hurriedly spoke, "That Wang family has a child daughter-in-law, she is a demon, and every time she goes to the mine to dig twice, there are a lot of stones. Just take the woman to the mines, half a day, no, an hour to fill this box, and even more. ”
"And this kind of thing, it turns out that the rumored person is in this village, but I didn't expect it to be crooked." The corners of the leader's mouth crooked, and there was an unexpected gain.
"Uncle, what do you think of my life?"
"Hmph, even if you can get the ore quickly, it's the credit of the woman in white and the Wang family, what does it have to do with you."
The leader hacked the man to death with a knife, came to Wang Chong's side, and stepped on his head with his foot.
"Who is Su Luoxue, if you come out now, I can consider sparing your life."
The villagers also looked up, but they were never seen.
"If you don't come out, right, then this person~"
"Uncle don't, the child is not in the village, she went to buy things in other villages." Wang Chong now hopes that Ergou and the woman in white can come back later, or hide when they see something unusual in the village.
Under the current situation, it is difficult for the people in the village to survive, but if Ergou is still outside, the bloodline of the Wang family will not be broken.
"Not there? What's the use of that? The leader of the mountain bandits snorted coldly and stabbed the long sword in his hand at Wang Chong.
At the critical moment, a woman dressed in white and with white hair reached out to hold the long sword, and she was still carrying Wang Ergou in her left hand.
"Why do you hurt people for no reason?" The woman in white used her right hand to crush the long sword into pieces, but her right hand was still white and tender, and there were no wounds.
