Chapter 3: Strange Invasion
Li Ye was dizzy.
Ever since he left Three Mile Lane, he felt like he was drunk and walked lightly.
It's very cold.
After standing in the sun for a long time, the coldness on my body gradually disappeared, although there was still discomfort, but it was already bearable, and I was slightly relieved.
After holding his footsteps, he finally came to Taoli Lane.
A large mansion with a vermilion gate stands at the mouth of the alley, and two words are written on the plaque of chiseled copper:
Li House.
The knocker of the beast rank was snapped, and a crack opened in the door.
A woman in a green dress who looked like a maid took a look and found that it was Li Ye, so she hurriedly opened the door happily, and at the same time turned back and shouted into the courtyard:
"Ladies, the master is back!"
Suddenly.
The courtyard was lively, and a group of warblers and swallows greeted them from the courtyard of the surrounding rooms.
There are also people who dress up in the mirror while walking.
They are fat and thin, each with its own merits, but they are all beautiful like flowers, gorgeous and moving, or wearing long skirts, or wearing gauze clothes, or dressing up as a scholarly girl, or chivalrous demeanor......
There are eighteen beautiful women in total.
The flowers are becoming more and more charming, and the oldest is only twenty-five or sixteen years old.
they
It is the result of Li Ye's struggle over the years, and the beautiful concubines who have entered the door one after another.
The rules of the demon removal Su family are strict, but the benefits are excellent, especially a loyal old swineherd like Li Ye, the head of the first courtyard, and the steer who holds the gelding knife in his hand, is highly used, monthly money, quarterly bonuses, and year-end bonuses, all of which are a lot.
That's why he can live such a nourishing life.
Seeing Li Ye stepping into the threshold, all the beautiful concubines bowed together: "See the master, the master is auspicious!" ”
The maids and servants around them also saluted.
The voice is neat, and the attitude is respectful, such as seeing my emperor.
"Get up!" Li Ye smiled and said, "Prepare the meal, I'll have lunch at home today." ”
The meals are prepared quickly, and the wine and food are hearty, and the taste and flavor are complete.
After the meal, after the beautiful concubines waited for Li Ye to bathe and change clothes, a maid carried a plate of wooden cards for Li Ye to flop the cards, and chose which lucky lady would accompany him to take a nap today.
The eighteen beautiful concubines, as usual, stood on the T-shaped platform of the hall designed by Li Ye, their eyebrows and eyes hooked, looking at Li Ye earnestly and shyly, waiting for Li Ye's election.
In the past, when Li Ye went home at noon, he was like this, first flopped, then selected one on the catwalk, and then took a nap together.
But today, Li Ye was not in the mood, and pushed away the wooden card and waved his hand:
"Everyone get ready, move to the royal mansion today."
Li Ye thought of the tragedy in Sanlitun, and thought of the hint of He Chao, the captain of the Flying Fish Guard, and guessed that his house was too close to Sanlitun, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accident at night.
Three Mile Lane is very weird now.
Too many people died there.
When the beautiful concubines heard that they were going to move, they were stunned, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they packed their bags and went to the palace with their servants and maids.
The king's house is the house of the old swineherd elder king.
Before Lao Wang died, in addition to entrusting Li Ye to take care of Zhiqiang, he also transferred his big mansion to Li Ye's name.
It is separated from Taoli Lane by five or six streets, far away from Sanli Lane.
Li Ye settled the beautiful concubines, explained the sentence "Close the doors and windows at night, don't go out", and then returned to Su Mansion with the demon sacrifice supplies.
The sacrificial object is still one of the same rooster blood, and it will take tomorrow to get it.
But the city is becoming more and more dangerous, and the tragedy of Sanli Lane is vivid, and Li Ye has a strong sense of crisis.
Chicken chirp blood can get the best as soon as possible.
Turning the direction, Li Ye went to several other places to look for purchases, and sure enough, as Boss Liu said, most of them were out of stock, and even if they did, they were not chicken blood.
But Li Ye was still very cautious in entrusting the other three shops, paid a deposit, and came to get the chicken's blood tomorrow, in case Boss Liu had an accident and misled his own business.
On the way, Li Ye remembered that Huang An wanted to use Zhiqiang's things to make wine, and helped him buy a pot of wine by the way.
Back to the pig yard.
It's afternoon duty.
In the iron gate of the pig yard, the pig house is continuous, there are more than 100 seats, pasted with "A, B, C, D, E" and other brands, and there are bursts of pig humming inside.
There are also boars climbing across with sows.
There was a lot of movement.
A group of newly recruited swineherds are already shoveling pig manure, feeding pigs, picking swill, and sweating profusely.
A few old swineherds are old fritters, and when the newcomers come, they begin to be lazy, one by one with their sleeves folded and arms, squatting on the stone mill in the corner of the wall and shaking their heads and sighing, their faces are angry, as if they are talking about something, and they are emotional.
Seeing Li Ye coming, several people hurriedly got up and saluted.
"What are you doing here instead of feeding the pigs?!"
Li Ye didn't have a good face, and his tone was stern.
A few old swineherds did not dare to speak back, turned around and hurried into the pigsty to get busy.
Huang An came from a distance and saw this scene, his lips opened and closed up and down for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, his eyes stared at Li Ye fixedly.
Li Ye said: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
Huang An sighed and said: "Somehow, my mood today is inexplicably a little irritable, I have no strength in my body, I don't want to say more, but I am more and more panicked, but after thinking about it, it is probably because there are a lot less meals in the canteen today, and my stomach is not full." ”
"Missing food in the cafeteria?" Li Ye raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
This does not bode well.
The Su family's canteen has always been full of steamed buns, rice can be eaten at will, and occasionally meat, but now the supply of meals has been sharply reduced, and there must be a problem.
Thinking of the situation he saw on the street today, Li Ye suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.
I'm afraid that the Su family really has a food crisis.
It has been three years since the cataclysm, although the outside of Taiping Town is strange and dangerous, but the Su family has sent a master to sweep the four fields, clean up a large area of fertile land, and have been maintaining order in the city.
Now.
The order is showing signs of collapsing.
Li Ye didn't know what was going on in the Su family, and he had some trouble and uneasiness in his heart, but as the head of the pig house, he still kept calm and said:
"What's the panic, the Su family has a big business, there is always something for us to eat, compared to those homeless people and beggars outside, we are much better."
Huang An nodded and said, "The chief is right, people should be content and happy." ”
Li Ye glanced at him, "People have to learn to be content and happy, but if everything is laughed at, it is a kind of cowardice. ”
Huang An's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with some admiration and awe: "You know so much, chief, as if I don't understand anything." ”
Li Ye patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No one is perfect, you don't need to understand everything, you just need to know more than others in a certain aspect." ”
After a pause, he blinked and smiled: "At least in terms of understanding boars, you know much more than me, I am not as good as you, I have to learn from you." ”
Huang An suddenly raised his head, and his eyes lit up in an instant.
Is this praising me?!
He scratched his head, a little proud, and a little embarrassed to laugh.
"Let everyone do things well, feed their pigs well, and reduce the amount of food, I will learn from above."
After Li Ye finished speaking, he stuffed the wine in his hand to Huang An and asked him to take it to soak the pig whip.
Huang An's throat rolled for a while, his heart warmed slightly, and he grinned and said: "Chief, if you treat me like this, I do like it a little!" ”
Li Ye pretended not to have heard, put away the supplies of the demon sacrifice, inspected the pigsty as usual, and castrated a few pigs that needed to be castrated.
The back of the gelding knife became even redder.
The newly recruited little swineherd was busy catching lice for pigs, Li Ye saw it and told them that they didn't need to catch lice, they just needed to do a good job of pigsty hygiene.
Pro to the next value.
Suddenly, a sow had a calf dystocia, and Huang An, an old swineherd, couldn't handle it, so he was sweating profusely, so Li Ye could only go out in person to deliver the sow.
In the end, 19 cubs were successfully born.
It was rare to have a high yield.
And, the mother cub is safe.
It's a great joy.
Every time a piglet is added to the pig yard, there are rewards, and the Su family has always encouraged the pig yard to have more children and more children, believing that pigs are the first productive force of the Su family.
In the Jiazi pig yard, there was a lot of joy, and Li Ye, the chief, was also full of smiles and couldn't close his mouth.
But after going to see Zhiqiang, Li Ye couldn't laugh.
Because this guy found out that he had been castrated after he woke up, his face was full of resentment, he didn't even eat pig food, and lay alone in the corner of the pigsty and shed tears.
Like a little resentful woman.
Sulking.
Li Ye also felt a little regretful and distressed.
Zhiqiang is the number one demon Zhu Bajie who he prescribed, a generation of fierce demon pigs Gangguan, and in the future, he will kill the generalissimo of Tianpeng in the fairy world.
If there were a fairy world in this world.
But he castrated it early.
