Chapter 16 There are Orions in Linxi Village
Feicheng is a remote small county in the northwest of Yuzhou, the north of Feicheng is full of vast mountainous areas in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, the nearby mountains are Yinshan Mountain, and the foot of the north of Feicheng County is Xiaoyin Mountain.
More than 200 miles to the south of Feicheng is the Tongtian River from west to east, and after the mountain road of dozens of miles in the east is the 'Hadesan River Transport' that rushes out of the Dayin Mountain, only the east is the plain area, and the county seat is far away from the county seat Pengcheng for four or five hundred miles, so this is a place that is both remote and not rich. Fortunately, there is a Yinshui River in the county, which is a small river flowing down from Xiaoyin Mountain, going southwest along the mountain, passing through the entire Feicheng County, raising the people on both sides of the river, and finally flowing into the Tongtian River.
At the foot of Yin Mountain, there is a mountain village, because the north is close to the mountains and forests, and it is called Linxi Village, and there are seventy or eighty households in the village.
There is a Peng hunter in the village, since he was a child, his father and mother have died of exhaustion in this mountain village, he is a young strong man of nearly thirty years old, who knows some dealers' styles, and he also speaks in the village. It's a pity that his parents died early, otherwise he could have enjoyed some of his blessings.
I remember that his father said regretfully when he was dying: "The wind and sun are exposed to the wind and sun all the year round in the mountains, and it is very tiring to go up the mountain to chop wood and hunt, where there is a long life, you should have been sent to study." "In the harsh tax pressure of the county seat, it is difficult for the people under the mountain to have a surplus every year, so they always have to pay some to the imperial court, or offer some incense, and then pay some poll tax to the big families in the county when they enter the city to buy and sell.
Peng Orion is nearly thirty years old, and he has already reached the age of starting a family, but he is young and high-spirited, and he only falls in love with the young lady of the Liu family, a big family in the village.
The head of the Liu family once said to Peng Lihu: "My daughter was born pampered, if you want to marry her, you have thirty acres of land and twenty cows as a dowry, so that I can let my daughter marry you!"
Moreover, if thirty acres of land be good land in the west, twenty oxen should be fat and strong oxen. also set a date with Peng Orion, who was not allowed to mention this matter after he was thirty years old, and he could not let his daughter marry a person who had already entered half of the earth. (Most of the villagers in the mountains do not live long, and they generally live to be in their 50s, which is considered to be a blessing of longevity and health.) )
The daughter of the head of the Liu family is called Liu Xiaoya, and she also played with other children in the village when she was a child, and when she was a little older, she stayed in the boudoir and never came out. The head of the Liu family has always planned to let his daughter marry into a big family, so he invited a gentleman in the county to teach his daughter how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
No, seeing that Peng Orion will have enough assets, but this year, suddenly it was rumored in the village that Miss Liu of the Liu family was going to marry the Wang family in the county, how could this not make Peng Orion anxious, he Peng Orion was a person who spit on a nail, and said that he wanted to marry that Liu Xiaoya, how could she marry an outsider.
The day before yesterday, Peng Orion brought some of the broken silver he had saved over the years, bought two big cattle in the county, and came back from the county seat last night to bring them back to the village. wants to send these two cows to Liu Dahu's house first, so that everyone in the village knows that this Liu Xiaoya has already set a name for his Peng Orion.
But what made Peng Orion annoyed was that he came back last night because he proudly drank a few glasses of wine with a few scoundrels in the village and fell asleep drunk for some reason, and woke up at noon today and went out, but the two cows in the courtyard ran away last night without knowing when they had broken free.
The scoundrels left early, leaving him alone at home. Peng Orion was really remorseful and anxious, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times. I have nothing to do with others.
Two days passed, and the mountains and forests near the village were searched and no cattle were found. As for the deep mountains, there are many jackal monsters in the mountains, if the cattle fled into the mountains, they would have been eaten by wild beasts, and it is even more suitable for the situation on weekdays, where can the hunters in the mountains enter the deep mountains, there are many yin and evil in the mountains, and they have to take their lives when they meet.
Seeing that the news of Li Dahu's family climbing to the city in this village is becoming more and more true, Peng Lihu is becoming more and more anxious, and he is even more distressed that he will take two cows.
It's really 'the night of candles in the cave room, people's', 'people are alive, the money is spent, and the things are gone.'" ’
In the past two days, Peng Lihu regretted and hated, looking for those people who drank together, and he could only blame himself for drinking, and he could only feel sorry for the silver alone afterwards, which were all the mountain goods he had obtained by hunting in the mountains and forests again and again.
This night, Yan Du flew out of the Yinshui Creek again, turning into a shadow dressed in black clothes, where could ordinary people see it, and came towards Linxi Village.
The things in Linxi Village were seen as if they were in the eyes of Yan Du, the 'Night Wandering God'. Tonight, Yan Du wants to see this Peng Orion.
In the middle of the night, Peng Orion sighed in the house again, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks he ate and drank alone, and fell asleep.
"Peng Orion" Yan Du called out his real name in front of Peng Orion's door.
"Peng Orion"
"Peng Orion!" Peng Orion, who was in a coma and sleeping soundly, only dreamed that he was walking on a dim mountain road, and suddenly turned around to look for sounds, and suddenly a powerful figure in black clothes appeared in front of him standing in the distance. "Who are you!" Peng Orion shouted loudly.
"Peng Orion, do you remember your two oxen?"
"Who are you!" Peng Orion asked again.
"I am the 'Night Wandering God' who lives in Yinshui Creek, and I am born to inspect the people of Li and understand the grievances. When I saw that your ox was lost, I will come to tell you tonight. ”|
"What is that, you are an evil creature in the Great Yin Mountain, yes, you must be an evil creature!" Peng Lihu became vigilant and said: "Hugh wants to lie to me, you must be to trick me into the mountain, eat me, how can I believe you." ”
"Peng Lihu, you have to think clearly, your two oxen cost a total of forty taels of silver, bought them in the black market in the east of the county seat, went to the city three days ago, and returned two days ago, am I right?" Yan Du said solemnly.
When Peng Orion heard it, it was indeed the truth, and this 'Night Wandering God' was not wrong. Seeing that Yan Du didn't look like nonsense, Peng Orion's expression weakened, but he still watched vigilantly.
Snorting, Yan Du waved his hand and said: "When the rooster crows tomorrow, you must remember to go to the village, and the scalpers will come back naturally, but remember to worship me when you take back the lost property, otherwise disaster will come." "Let's go back. After speaking, Qiantai waved his hand from afar, and directly pushed Peng Orion out of his dream.
"Ah~" Peng Orion followed Yan Du's cold palm, as if he had been beaten into the abyss, and woke up with a pout, sweating profusely.
At this time, when Peng Orion recalled the last eerie voice of Yan Du in his dream and the horror of falling into the abyss, he couldn't help but be afraid of Yan Du in his heart, and turned his head to look around the bedside, but he didn't dare to say anything. Thinking about what Yan Du said to him at the end of the dream, he asked him to go to the village to get cattle in the early morning when the rooster crowed. I couldn't help but have a trace of anticipation in my heart, and the sense of unpredictability was deeply rooted in my heart.
Peng Orion finally took a deep breath, got up and touched a bowl of cold water on the table, drank it, opened the door and looked at the moon day outside in the middle of the night. I turned around and lay on the bed, but I didn't feel sleepy anymore.
Yan Du, who was outside the house at this time, looked coldly at Orion's performance after waking up from the dream, and nodded his head to express his satisfaction.
Regarding this Peng Orion's loss of cattle, Yan Du, who has been patrolling the village these days, doesn't know, and he has taken a fancy to the identity of this Peng Orion, which is very suitable for the pioneer of his vision of the people who have just entered the village.
This Peng Orion's head is thick and red, and there are some dealer tricks on his body, and most of the mountain people in the village are white, which is already very prominent, which obviously shows that this person should have some say in the village. The most important thing is that Yan Du sees this person as a bloody and refreshing person, and Yan Du has never seen this person as evil these days, and he can contact him as his first believer in the future.
As for the two scalpers, it was a few scoundrels who drank with Peng Orion that night and were entrusted by Liu Dahu to let the scalpers go in the middle of the night. The scalper ran to the mountains and was found by Yan Du and raised in the mountains, and after giving this Peng Orion a small lesson, he came to tell him in a dream.
However, the first time, Yan Du did not tell Orion the fact that the scalper had escaped, so as to prevent this person from thinking nonsense, but he could find an opportunity to tell this person afterwards.
After looking again, Yan Du turned around and disappeared into the night, and went back to the mountains to find the two oxen.
The night was long, and when the rooster crowed, Peng Orion hurried towards the head of the village, and the clothes on his body were scattered and could not be tied. When I arrived at the head of the village, I saw two big oxen eating the weeds on the side of the road in the distance.
"Scalper, it's a scalper, it's really back!haha"
"Oh, yes, and I have to worship the noble 'Night Wanderer', and I can't really let the catastrophe become. ”
Peng Lihu took the ox rope and fell to the ground: "The righteous and righteous 'Night Wandering God' is on top, and the little Peng Ying can find the lost property today, thank you for the help of the 'Night Wandering God', and I will burn incense and worship after I go back, in order to thank the 'Night Wandering God' for today's virtue." ”
Far away in the old nest of Yinshui Creek, Yan Du felt a trace of faith from the village. Yan Du stretched out his hand and shook it in the void, and a trace of white qi between him was entwined in Qiantai's own hands, but it was Napeng Orion who believed in himself. Yan Du said calmly: "Shinto, I will definitely go on." ”
Back at home, this Peng Orion happily tied the cow back to his home, cleaned it up again, and planned to send it to Na Liu Dahu later.
