Xu Huaiyi's words broke Xu Maoyuan's only remaining luck, and he smiled bitterly, "It's the uncle who is short-sighted, and he can't understand it as clearly as you ......."

Hearing this, Dr. Jiao, who had never interjected, quipped, "If we live to this age, can we not see as thoroughly as their young people?" It's just that the older people live, the less courage they have, like their young people are not afraid of anything, dare to think and dare to do, let's just want to be stable. ”

Xu Maoyuan was ridiculed by the old face, but he was also open-minded, and he was not annoyed, but sighed along with these words, "Yes, when you are old, you don't dare to toss." ”

"So, we have to give them the opportunity to make a difference."

"You're right......"

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly made a modest and polite gesture to give Xu Maoyuan enough face.

Village Chief Xu also made a decision at this time, "What Huaiyi said makes sense, we just have a three-inch tongue, I'm afraid that no one will listen to it, just think we are rubbing powder on our own faces, after all, we are also people from Hutian Village now, one is prosperous, one is lost, if you say it, no one is convinced, but if you risk your life, the result will be different immediately, when the time comes, as long as we are all healthy, no illness or disaster, you don't need to say anything, you can block their mouths." ”

Speaking of the back, he was still a little emotional.

Xu Huaiyi said with a smile, "Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, there is no danger, because there is no danger, there is no curse here, and there are no ominous people, some are just poor people who are lucky to survive the disaster, just like our refugees in Qingzhou, some can't survive, they die when they die, and some survive, such as us, we can still become ominous people, who is bad luck?" On the contrary, we are lucky to be blessed. ”

In the last two sentences, he said categorically, which has a very brainwashing effect.

After Village Chief Xu was stunned, he patted his thigh excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, Huaiyi is right, don't we just have great luck, before Master Liao, they met us, avoided the mountain bandit pit silver, and also avoided those evil officials to make them bad, isn't this a blessing?" ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and his eyebrows and mustache were about to fly.

Doctor Jiao looked funny, secretly exchanged glances with Xu Huaiyi, and then from a professional point of view, he helped him and Xu Maoyuan consolidate this impression, "The old man walked around the village today, and he didn't see anything unclean or that could make people sick, that is, the trees and weeds on the side of the road are growing well, and the curse is completely nonsense, as for the plague five years ago, although the old man did not witness it with his own eyes, but the symptoms described by the people are not like the plague, those who died in the so-called plague species, It's like ingesting something poisonous......"

"Huh?"

"Poisonous?"

Village Chief Xu and Xu Maoyuan were both shocked, and their suspicions about him were more terrible than hearing about the plague.

Dr. Jiao, "......"

Did he find the wrong way?

The corners of Xu Huaiyi's mouth twitched, this was almost self-defeating, and hurriedly explained, "Uncle Village Chief, uncle, don't think about it, what Doctor Jiao meant, it's not that the twenty-nine families were poisoned to death, no, there are not too many who died, but the people who survived, maybe they were afraid of affecting other people in the village, or they had other plans, and they all moved away one after another." ”

"Really?" Village Chief Xu turned his head to look at Dr. Jiao in shock, "Isn't there something poisonous in this village?" ”

Doctor Jiao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't blame me for not making it clear, the old man is suspicious, someone in the village is contaminated with what is wrong outside, he was poisoned outside, and he died of poison after returning to the village, it has nothing to do with the village, because the symptoms are similar to smallpox, he was mistaken for a plague and sealed the village, but if it is really a plague, other villages have not been affected, so the people of Hutian Village can't be unlucky, right?" ”

Xu Maoyuan opened his mouth, isn't it just that Hutian Village is unlucky, the reason why there are those ominous rumors outside also comes from this, people are all fine in other villages, but if something happens in this village, isn't it cursed?

What he didn't say, Village Chief Xu said for him.

Doctor Jiao said meaningfully, "It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster, in this capital, under the prosperity, there are a lot of dirty, only you can't think of it, you can't do it without them." ”

Village Chief Xu shuddered, "Then, will that affect us?" ”

Xu Huaiyi took over, "No, we are later, the previous rights and wrongs have nothing to do with us, besides, there is really something, it was also ended five years ago, everyone is dead, who else can we find to settle accounts?" ”

"Didn't you say someone moved away?"

"Ah, someone moved away, we don't know where they moved, even if they are hunted down, they won't come to interrogate us."

Although this statement is a bit scoundrel, there is nothing wrong with it, and Village Chief Xu reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, "It also makes sense, but if we know about these things, we can't mention them to the outside world in the future." ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded cooperatively, "Of course, let's just don't know anything, just get along with the people in this village normally, don't ask." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll tell the people in the village to ...... when I go back."

Breaking the rumors of the curse, although it is involved in right and wrong, in the end, he is not so afraid, Village Chief Xu made up his mind and pulled back to the topic, "Huaiyi, the trick you just mentioned is feasible, as you said, facts speak louder than words, but this time period, I'm afraid it's a bit long, three days and five days, I definitely can't see any effect......"

"Therefore, we have to invite monks to chant the scriptures, and the two-pronged approach is more convincing."

In this era, most people believe in Buddhism, and the mouths of those great monks seem to be opened, saying that the people believe in everything, and even worship some high monks like gods.

One word of theirs is worth a thousand words.

When Village Chief Xu heard this, his heart became more steady.

Xu Maoyuan couldn't wait to ask, "Then Huaiyi, when will we invite the senior monks in the temple to recite the scriptures?" ”

Xu Huaiyi thought for a while, "Let's just tomorrow." ”

Xu Maoyuan had a smile on his face, he still trusted the monk more than the truth, "Tomorrow is good, tomorrow is good, let Huaixiao accompany you to ...... when the time comes"

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly refused, "No, uncle, I'll take my daughter-in-law and children tomorrow, Huanxi made some velvet flowers a few days ago, and I want to go to the city to sell them, and the money in my hand before let me buy a house and land for almost ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Maoyuan disagreed, "Although it is appropriate to buy a house and buy land, you can't be too big, you must always leave some in your pocket, otherwise how can you live?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said good-naturedly, "Yes, what you taught me is that I will definitely change it in the future." ”

Village Chief Xu asked worriedly, "Then you said you opened a tofu shop before?" ”

I don't have any money in my hand, so what are you doing?

Xu Huaiyi said with a big grin, "That's not delayed, isn't the land bought, the money is tight in the early stage, first use adobe cover, and then make money, as for the stone mill, pots, barrels and whatever, it won't cost much silver, and if you sell the velvet flowers tomorrow, it should be enough." ”

Village Chief Xu was skeptical, how much silver could that velvet flower be worth?
