The battle ended quickly.

In fact, it can't be called a battle.

When a group of hunters saw Chen Tang walking like a fly in the mountains and forests, they thought they had encountered a ghost, so they subconsciously attacked.

But in less than half an hour, they were all knocked down by Chen Tang.

After asking, Chen Tang learned that this place belonged to the boundary of Xinbai Town, and he could go down the mountain for several miles to get to the town.

This piece of mountain is called "Qingyang Mountain". In recent years, there has been a spread of ghosts. The strange thing is that the protagonist of the content is not a fox fairy ghost, but a scholar. It is also said that they once saw a scholar without a head walking in the mountains......

That's terrifying.

No wonder this group of hunters saw Chen Tang dressed as a scholar, and he ran so fast, he immediately bent his bow and shot arrows nervously.

After learning that Chen Tang was the one who entered Beijing for the exam, the hunters hurriedly apologized - although Chen Tang's hair was not injured at all, and they all had blue noses and swollen faces.

In the face of fame, ordinary people are naturally afraid, if Chen Tang wants to sue the official, their group of people will not be able to escape the responsibility. If Chen Tang had just blackened his hands and killed the killers, they would all be killed.

It was to look at Chen Tang's eyes, both fearful and admiring.

Both civil and military, excellent readers of the two are rare.

Chen Tang asked the distance clearly, and then he was going down the mountain. The old hunter of the leader handed over a roe deer with a flattering face, saying that it was for Chen Tang to apologize.

It's a good game.

Chen Tang took it and prepared to take it to the town, and asked the store to process it and eat it, just as dinner.

took the prey, and he threw out a lot of money: "Uncle, I should have bought the roe deer." ”

With that, he turned and left.

The old hunter pinched the big money, and his face showed gratitude: such a fair official is also uncommon......

The rain has stopped, and after the new rain in the green hills, it is becoming more and more green, and there is a unique flavor and scenery, and there are birds singing in the branches, and its sound is very good.

Chen Tang slowed down, strolled as a car, and went down the mountain.

About half an hour later, he came to the town of Shinbai. It was getting late, so I had to spend the night in the town and set off the next day.

Suddenly, the sound of suona gongs and drums sounded, and mournful music was played. Soon, a team dressed in linen and filial piety slowly approached from the other side of the town.

On both sides of the street, there are many people watching.

Chen Tang stared at it, and saw that there were a lot of people in the team, some holding paper people, some holding paper horses, and paper sedan chairs and paper houses.

One of the big oxen pulled the cart, and on the cart was a thick coffin, solemnly decorated and dark.

"What is this?"

Chen Tang couldn't help but ask a person beside him.

The man glanced at him and hurriedly said, "Childe doesn't know, this is our custom here, called 'Wandering Spirit'." The deceased was a good man from the town, and he will be buried tomorrow on the mountain. Now I do a wandering spirit, and at night, I will do things. ”

Chen Tang came over suddenly, the so-called "wandering spirit" probably means to say goodbye and farewell, so that the deceased can walk with peace of mind.

Although Xinbai Town is only a small town, it is one of the main routes to the capital due to its geographical focus, so there are many traveling and merchant guests throughout the year, which drives the development.

This Qian family is the largest family in the town, and the family has a prominent person. As a father who lifts people, Qian Dashan is over the age of old, and he is considered to be a long life. He has always been a philanthropist and has earned a reputation.

There are bullies and villains in the squire landlord class, but there are also many people who know how to buy people's hearts, pave bridges and build roads, and save fame and prestige.

Obviously, this Qian family belongs to this category.

Fame is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is extremely important. Especially if you want to make a big career in your career, it is difficult to gain a foothold without fame.

"Bad luck!Zihong, why did we come here and encounter such a white thing?"

Suddenly, someone said.

When Chen Tang heard the prestige, he saw a carriage coming.

The carriage is not small, it belongs to the two-horse drive, the two horses pulling the carriage are strong, one is black, covered in charcoal, and the other is white, although it is not the kind of white that is not mixed with any variegation, but it is also the color of the coat is shiny, and it is extraordinarily spirited.

In Yinguo, a horse is equal to a car, and a good horse is the existence of BMW Mercedes-Benz, and the façade is very beautiful.

The carriage entered the town, and there were many people, so it drove slowly. Soon down two rich boys, gorgeously dressed. At their waists, they also carried swords.

The gentleman's sword is quite popular among the scholar class, and whether it is a real skill or a pure decoration varies from person to person.

After the two sons, each followed a small servant, looking at the eyebrows and figures, it was clear that they were all women, and they made men's clothes.

When the son travels, he can't do without people around him, the scholar is always with him, and even the bodyguards are guarding. With a maid and the like, but it is not useful, you can warm the bed at night, quite moist and enjoyable.

The one on the left who said "bad luck" was the son, about twenty-five or six years old, slightly chubby, with a round face and slightly smaller eyes.

The "Zihong" on the right, with a tall figure and heroic eyebrows, said with a smile: "Zihan, you are wrong." It's not 'bad luck', this is 'seeing the coffin and getting rich', it's good luck. ”

When Zihan heard this, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "I see, Zihong is really talented." ”

Chen Tang listened on the side, smiled, stopped looking, and went to look for a sharp-edged inn.

Soon, he came to the door of a "Yunlai Inn".

The so-called "cloud comes", and the fake "transports" have their own implications.

The inn is not small, even larger than the Yuelai Inn in Yuruo County, and it belongs to one of the industries of the Qian family.

"Shopkeeper, but there is still an upper room?"

Chen Tang asked.

The shopkeeper replied: "This son, I'm sorry, but several upper rooms in our store have been booked, and only the middle room is available." ”

Counting the time, it is the time period for the children from all over the country to enter Beijing for the exam, and on the way, the local inn rooms are quite in demand. If it is any later, it may be overcrowded and it will be difficult to find a place to stay.

"Alright, let's have a middle room. In addition, can you help with the processing of meat in your shop, and the salary will be enough for you. ”

Chen Tang shook the roe deer in his hand.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he was not surprised, and felt that Chen Tang had bought wild meat from Orion—such a thing often happened, and immediately said: "Okay, in half an hour, the son will come down to eat, and the meat will be ready." ”

After settling the account, Chen Tang paid some of the money, and then carried the book on his back and went upstairs to put things in the room.

I've been tossing for a while today, and I'm a little dirty, but I'm thinking about it, I'll wait until I've eaten before washing, and then go to bed, so it's better.

He sat in the middle of the room, his eyes closed.

After a while, I heard the mournful music of beating gongs and drumming suona, mixed with the sound of crying.

The wandering spirit is to walk through the whole town, especially the place where the deceased loved to stay before his death, and after coming, he also has to carry out a short "stop the spirit" ritual and burn some paper work.

Chen Tang came to the window, looked down, and saw the thick and solemn red lacquer coffin. Under the reflection of the slanting sun, it shines slightly.
