Chapter 9: The People Are Gone

Fang Gui is twelve years old, and he is really likable.

It's not that he is handsome, running around in the countryside every day, and his little face has already been tanned, but the appearance of the tiger's head and tiger brain, as well as the natural sight of people and talking about people, and talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, and he can't find fault with being well-behaved if he wants to be well-behaved.

Usually in the Niutou Village, where the door is divided into two meals from the door to a pickle, he can always eat a meal of meat from time to time, and he has not been killed, to some extent, thanks to his naturally likable little face......

But this time it's different!

Except for Ruby and Flower Widow, the people in the Niutou Village have a high degree of immunity to his cute little face, and they no longer secretly stuff good food for him, but Uncle Fang Gui is now in operation, and he has a lot of silver in hand!

Earlier in the Zhuangzi, Fang Gui had already inquired about the location of the Zhuangzi from the old woman in black, and knew that it was not far from Niutou Village, about forty or fifty miles of mountain roads, and at this time, he brought the bag full of amethyst, and trotted all the way to Niutou Village.

Somehow, although he has suffered this hardship now, he feels that there is an inexhaustible amount of strength in his body, and the faster he runs in the mountains, the more his body seems to be warm and comfortable, but it is like a spring of strength in his little belly, which comes out from time to time.

Forty or fifty miles of mountain road, even adults have to walk for most of the day, but Fang Gui trotted back all the way, but before night fell, he had already come to the vicinity of Niutou Village.

Seeing the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, his heart was even more happy, and he ran towards the village with a shout, laughing and laughing: "The poor sours of a village, Uncle Fang Gui, I have developed, you know what I have encountered......

"Huh?"

Before he finished speaking, he paused suddenly.

Today's Niutou Village looks completely different from usual.

The naughty boys who used to always scream and make trouble in the village, and were beaten by themselves more than once, are gone, and the flower widow who always sits on the edge of the well at the head of the village with the soles of her shoes and flatters the burly men in the past is gone, and even the ruby girl who runs over to meet her every time she sees her coming back, pestering her and chattering about herself is gone......

"Man?"

Fang Gui looked at it in a daze for a long time, and thought, "Could it be that they are all hiding and eating meat?"

He walked around the village, and his heart became more and more cold, because the lively village that was usually full of people was now empty, and the silence was terrible. Starting from the village, he pushed open the doors of every house, and found that there was no one inside, some people had boiled corn porridge in their pots, and there were small pickles on the table, but there was no one.

Fang Gui walked on the path in the village in a daze, pushed open the door of the village chief's house, and the village chief was not there.

Pushed open the door of the flower widow's house, and the flower widow was not there.

I rummaged through the chicken coop of the old lady's house and found that even the chickens were gone.

What the hell, people?

What about chickens?

......

......

It wasn't until Fang Gui came to the backyard of Hongbao's house that he saw a row of scribbled handwriting from an earthen wall, which seemed to be drawn down in a hurry, and it was Hongbao's tone: "Brother Fang Gui, the people in the village want to take advantage of your absence to run away, I don't want to go with them, I want to become a biological doll with you, but my father came out with a pig-killing knife, Brother Fang Gui, you must ......remember it."

I was only halfway through the words, and there was obviously something to follow, but it was interrupted.

Fang Gui, who looked directly at these words, was stunned: "Just to avoid me, the whole village ran away?"

A cold air rush drilled into his head, and then turned into a volcano-like rage: "As for you?"

"At most, I will take a peek at the flower widow taking a bath and take advantage of the red treasure, beating the doll pit in the village, stealing the old man in the village, stealing the chicken of the old lady of the Wang family, pulling out the radish of the old man of the Sun family, Zhang Qian, who pretended to be a ghost in the middle of the night, soured and broke the ghost in the thatched house, but it was not my intention, and urinating in the iron pot of the village chief's house was just hiding from stealing meat and eating too anxious......"

"You guys actually ran away......

"Why do you want to leave me and run by myself......"

"I've got money now......"

“......”

“......”

Fang Gui was in a daze on the grinding plate in the village, thinking that maybe the people in the village would come back, but until the middle of the moon, the whole village was pitch black, but there was never half a figure, he finally couldn't sit still, jumped up and moved his arms and legs, and thought hatefully in his heart: "These eight kings and eight lambs will run, Uncle Fang Gui, I will go to the immortal gate to apprentice and cultivate immortals......"

Anyway, there was no one in the village, so Fang Gui was also ruthless, ran to Zhang's house to serve a bowl of corn porridge, ran to Li's house to get a plate of small pickles, half a pot of stewed chicken was turned out in the kitchen cabinet of Mrs. Wang's house, and a jar of local wine was found under the bed of the village chief's house...... Thinking that he was in a hurry, they didn't take away these good things that made Fang Gui greedy on weekdays, satisfying his desire to take it casually.

On this grinding plate, Fang Gui had a beautiful meal, and took two sips of wine decently.

Seeing the moon setting, his head was dizzy, but he also rose a little arrogantly.

"Smack!"

Following the example of the chivalrous people in the story told by Blind Zhu, Fang Gui smashed the wine jar, and Fang Gui strode towards the outside of the village.

"Uncle Fanggui, I'm going to cultivate immortals......"

He said goodbye to the empty village and walked in style.

......

......

For the people in the entire village suddenly disappeared in order to hide from him, Fang Gui didn't think too much about it at this time, his little head also knew that the people in the village were indeed annoyed by themselves, and it was normal to want to leave, but more things were limited by knowledge, but he didn't expect it, but since there was no one in the village, there were indeed not many paths he could choose.

The letter of recommendation that I took from the black-clothed old woman Hu of the Dongtu Qin family was only used as a way out, but now it comes in handy.

Usually, Fang Guidong ran around, and followed the flower widow to learn a problem of inquiring about things, but he also knew a lot of things, for example, although he had never left Niutou Village since he was a child, he also knew the Taibai Mountain mentioned by Granny Hu in Anzhou, he heard Zhao Tiezui say that he didn't know the specific location, but he knew that this mountain was in the west of Niutou Village.

At the beginning, he gambled that he wanted to go to Xianmen to practice, but he slowly calmed down, ran out of more than ten miles, and turned back again, and carved eleven big characters on the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, "I went to Taibai Mountain to practice - Uncle Fanggui", but it was to remind the old man of the immortal who went back to the village to find him, so that he would suddenly come back to pick him up, but he couldn't find himself.

Whether there are other intentions or not, it's hard to say.

After leaving these lines, he went on the road again, first went to a town twenty miles away, and asked someone to inquire about the path to Taibai Mountain, only to know that Taibai Mountain was actually thousands of miles away, and for him as a child, it was a distance that could not be farther.

If you want to get there, you have to have money.

Fang Gui is rich, and it is also the money used by the immortals, but the mortal world does not recognize this!

Fang Gui still remembered that Zhu Blind said that the money used by immortals was worth more than gold and silver, and he could exchange it in the money village in the big city, and a spirit coin could be exchanged for several pieces of gold, and the money amethyst in his pocket should be able to exchange for a lot of gold and silver, so he went to the Qianzhuang Gate to hang around.

Before entering the door, he bit his fingers and pondered again.

It seems that according to Zhu Blind, a hairy boy like himself is easy to get into trouble with a huge amount of money!

Of course, with his own Uncle Fang Gui's ability, he is not worried that someone will come to fight his idea, but the key is that those people don't know that Uncle Fang Gui has the ability, they have come to provoke themselves, and they have to teach them a lesson, and they have to delay their efforts back and forth, isn't it looking for trouble in vain?

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, staring at the rich gentry who came in and out of the bank, blaming these people for not knowing how powerful they were, so they didn't dare to go into the money village casually to change silver.

Since he would definitely be targeted by them if he went to exchange the silver, and he would definitely cause trouble for himself, Fang Gui decided to strike first!

Seeing that inside the money village, a fat middle-aged man came out, and he also brought a small guy with him, look at the oily face he eats, he must be very rich, Fang Gui took a straw stick and shook it over, and when he walked to the middle-aged man, he stumbled and fell into his arms, and the middle-aged fat man jumped back in disgust, and shouted: "Hello, little Hanako, don't you look at people when you walk?"

"Uncle, give the two of you money to spend?"

Fang Gui raised his head, and the uncle seemed to stretch out his hand towards the other party.

"I won't give you any money, get out of here!"

The middle-aged fat man waved his sleeves in disgust and strode away.

Fang Gui also glanced at him with disgust, and trotted in the opposite direction to him.

With the money bag he had just touched in his hand, he felt that it was heavy, there should be a lot of weight, Fang Gui felt happy again, and felt a little lucky, Liu Laizi in the village said that when walking the rivers and lakes, he must master a few crafts in case of emergency, he was very sincere at the time, and he followed him to learn casually, but he didn't expect it to be very easy at a critical time......

With the money in hand, Fang Gui also put his mind at ease and strode towards Taibai Mountain.

This thousand-mile road naturally has a lot of twists and turns, especially for a teenager-year-old child, it is more like a distant journey that can hardly be walked, but although Fang Gui is young, he has a bright mind and a body of skills, when the mouth is sweet, when the heart is ruthless, this way day and night, stop and go, although it is hard, a month later, he really found a place.

"Is this the Immortal Gate?"

Looking at the towering and continuous mountains, Fang Gui knocked the stones in his shoes.

"Uncle Fanggui, I'm here!"
