Volume 1 Dream of Tianyuan Chapter 32 Spend money to get rid of demons
A few days later, something big happened in the village.
The old village chief Zhang died.
Village Chief Zhang is actually not a native of Qinghu Village, but his deceased wife is.
After the death of his wife, he returned to Qinghu Village with his son and granddaughter.
Because he had lived in a big city and was a person who had seen the big world, he was recommended by the village as the village head.
He has been the village chief for two years, and the villagers love him very much.
For a time, the village was full of white clothes, but the old village chief died, and the village urgently needed to elect a new village chief.
The choice did not delay for a long time, and everyone unanimously agreed that Zhang Lin, the son of the old village chief, was also a very stable talent, and unanimously elected Zhang Lin as the new village head of Qinghu Village.
The matter was settled, and it lasted for a few days, and the village was peaceful, still calm and peaceful.
Yun Feiqi has not recovered any memories until now, but he has gradually integrated into the life in the village.
However, on this morning, the new village head, Huihui's father Zhang Lin, gathered everyone together, saying that there was something important to discuss with everyone.
Zhang Lin stood on a big rock, looked at the villagers who were almost there, nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly:
"Folks, thank you very much for trusting me and electing me as the new village head, I will definitely live up to your expectations and contribute to the construction of the village as diligently as my father!"
"Good!"
"Well said!"
The villagers also cheered and burst into warm applause.
Zhang Lin pressed down on his palm and said to the villagers:
"But there is a huge hidden danger in the village! Do you remember, there is still a huge monster in the green water lake?
That monster is the size of a house! If it escapes one day, it will be unimaginable!"
Yun Feiqi in the crowd frowned, how could this Zhang Lin still think about getting rid of that monster.
"yes"
"I remember it too. ”
"It's really big. ”
"It's horrible. ”
Listening to the remarks of the surrounding villagers, Yun Feiqi felt a little bad, and looked around, sure enough, Zhang Lin didn't let Huihui run out.
Speaking of which, these days, Huihui seems to be grounded, she can only stay at home, and every time she can only go to Zhang Lin's house to find her.
"But, we can't beat that monster!"
At this time, a villager finally said what Zhang Lin wanted to hear.
Zhang Lin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have already told the Daoist Master of the Pure Yang Temple. His old man is willing to take action for us, come to the village to get rid of that monster, and it only costs three thousand taels of silver. ”
"What?!"
"Oh my God!"
"So much money!"
A villager stood up and said directly to Zhang Lin: "How is this possible! It will take a full thirty years for the income of all the people in our village to earn three thousand taels! Take it out to get rid of the demon, what will we eat?!"
Zhang Lin looked at the villager who came out and frowned without a trace.
"I know, I know, but what if that monster really rushes out? It won't be thirty years or thirty years of income, then the lives of the whole village may not be guaranteed!"
Zhang Lin waved his arms as he spoke, as if to convince the villagers of what he said.
"That makes sense. ”
"yes. ”
The villagers were talking again.
At this time, another villager came out and said to Zhang Lin: "But after so many years, the monster has not come out." ”
"yes, I really haven't been out yet. ”
"That's right, last time it was Huihui who ran blindly to the lake to get out of the monster. ”
"And the old village chief also said that as long as you don't go to the lake, you will be fine!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the villagers' remarks fell to the group of people who did not support the group of people who did not support the payment of the Pure Yang Guan Taoist to eliminate the demons.
Zhang Lin only has a few people who support paying to ask the Taoist to get rid of the demon,
But most people are still reluctant to pay, and think that the monster will not come out, and is not willing to pay.
Zhang Lin and the villagers quarreled fiercely all morning, and both sides had their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone.
In this way, the matter of whether to pay the Taoist chief to get rid of the demon is over, and there is no result.
The villagers gradually dispersed to go about their business.
Zhang Lin looked at the villagers who were scattered, frowned without a trace, and whispered in a voice that almost no one could hear:
"A bunch of fools who don't know whether to live or die!"
.........
Yun Feiqi and Huzi walked side by side on the road.
He suddenly spoke: "Huzi, what do you think about whether or not you can pay to get rid of demons?"
Huzi was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, and said, "I don't know, I think the village chief has a point, the monster has been next to the village and it really makes people feel afraid."
But many people have a point, three thousand taels of silver is too much, and the monster has never come out, and the old village chief also said that as long as you don't go to the lake, it's fine. ”
Speaking of this, Huzi scratched his head again and said, "Oh, I don't understand anyway." Azie, you have a good brain, do you think you should pay to get rid of the demon? ”
Yun Feiqi shook his head slightly.
Huzi thought he was saying something he didn't know.
But Yun Feiqi actually meant not to say no.
It's not about money, it's about the scene where Huihui got along with the monster before, and the scene where the old village chief went to the lake to call out the monster that night.
All of this made him feel that the monster didn't look like it would rush out and harm people.
A few more days have passed,
However, a major event broke the tranquility of the village,
There are dead people in the village!
............
It all started from the beginning.
There is a person named Zhao Shan in the village, who is a famous lazy man in the village, lazy and lazy, often wandering around the village, and the villagers do not have much good impression of him, but his death still makes the villagers feel panic.
Because, his death,
It's related to the monsters in the lake!
On this day, the people in the village were working normally, but suddenly they heard a miserable scream, as if it came from the shore of Qingshui Lake.
The villagers were afraid that it was a monster that was causing trouble, but they decided to take up arms and run to the lake to check what was going on.
However, everyone saw that the monster in the lake was floating a pitch-black head by the lake, and Zhao Shan was lying motionless on the shore.
Seeing the arrival of the villagers, the youkai dived into the lake and disappeared.
Only then did the villagers dare to rush to Zhao Shan's side to see what was happening.
Zhang Lin, the village head, came to Zhao Shan's side and pushed vigorously, then his movements froze, and he slowly stretched his fingers under Zhao Shan's nose, and then the whole person trembled, and when he turned around, he had a frightened expression on his face.
"Death.... He's dead..... Zhao Shan is dead...," he stammered.
As soon as these words came out, they stirred up a thousand waves, and the fear of the villagers spread as quickly as if it were a contagion.
"Dead?"
"Youkai, it must have been that youkai who did it. ”
"Damn, monsters eat people!"
"Aqi, Aqi, that monster will really come out to eat people!" Huzi tugged on Yun Feiqi's arm and said in fear.
Yun Feiqi gently patted Huzi's back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, the monster has already run away." ”
But there are other plans in my heart.
Monsters eat people?
It is not clear whether Zhao Shan was killed by a monster, but cannibalism is absolutely nonsense, and there is no damage on Zhao Shan's body, nor any traces of blood.
Although Qingshui Lake is very close to Qinghu Village, it took at least half an hour for everyone to scream from Zhaoshan to everyone coming to the lake.
The monster wants to eat people, so it spends a lot of time eating, why does it wait until the villagers arrive before leaving, and they haven't eaten yet?
He didn't know about Zhao Shan's death,
But
Village Chief Zhang Lin is a little strange,
Yun Feiqi saw with his own eyes that this forest did not run out of the villagers, but came out from the other direction.
Where was he before?
Why did you run out of that direction?
Yun Feiqi casually glanced at the woods by the lake on the way forward, and vaguely saw a figure.
He just thought it was wrong at the time, but now that he thought about it, the color of the figure was somewhat similar to the gray robe Zhang Lin was wearing at this time.
Yun Feiqi watched thoughtfully as Zhang Lin organized the villagers to carry Zhao Shan's body back to the village, silently.
Just because this happened today, he estimated that Zhang Lin should incite the villagers to pay for the Taoist to get rid of the demon.
It sounds strange to say, and for some reason, Yun Feiqi has some strange feelings in his heart every time he hears the words of the Taoist chief of the Pure Yang Taoist Temple.
It's like ........
Dismissive?
