Chapter 89: Ghost Farmer
Night has fallen. On the side of the second prince Xuanyuan Ming, everyone quietly stayed in the mountain forest behind the Zhongjing Farm, waiting for the ghost attached to the farmer to appear.
Lan Yi sat next to Xuanyuan Ming and couldn't help but doze off.
Lan Yi's head tilted and tilted, as if he couldn't support it. So Xuanyuan Ming simply lifted her head and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
"The second prince is very good to this girl. The thief king Li Shan said sourly.
Indeed, this woman has accompanied herself through many dangers, and she has also experienced many lives and deaths. She is loyal, upright, resolute, and although she is a little silly at times, she never gives up on herself. The second prince, Xuanyuan Ming, gradually accepted her.
Xuanyuan Ming put a finger on his lips and told Li Shan not to make a noise to wake up Nishang. So the bandit Li Shan paced elsewhere and talked to the other bandits.
Lan leaned on Xuanyuan Ming's shoulder and fell asleep. Xuanyuan Ming was funny, he didn't expect this woman to be so cute when she fell asleep.
The fat little face and small mouth, like a quiet little white rabbit, make people want to reach out and touch her little face.
"Second Prince, ghost!" suddenly exclaimed from the crowd.
The second prince looked up sharply, and saw a large number of ghosts floating out of the farm in the middle of the realm in front of him. But those ghosts are not dark and terrifying, but golden.
"Seeing that the ghost attached to the peasant ate the grain and turned golden?" said the thief king Li Shan.
"Go over and see. Xuanyuan Ming said.
Xuanyuan Ming shook his shoulders and woke Lan Yi up. "Hey, you've slept enough on my shoulder, get up. It's time to get to work. ”
Lan Yi rubbed her eyes and found herself sleeping soundly on Xuanyuan Ming's shoulder, very embarrassed. Quickly patted her on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm asleep." ”
"Get up, it's time to run errands. Xuanyuan Ming got up. He stretched out his hand again and pulled Lan Yi up.
Xuanyuan Ming took the bandits and the others down the mountain on foot, and walked in the direction of Zhongjing Farm. At this time, each of them did not have a ghost-killing object in their hands, including a ghost-killing rope and a ghost-killing whip.
But when they arrived on the land of the Midland Farm, they found that those golden ghosts were possessed by the peasants. They are not vicious, they do not kill, but sit quietly and lazily.
Xuanyuan Ming walked towards the ghosts with the ghost rope, but when he saw that these ghosts were extremely peaceful, he put away the ghost rope and told his subordinates behind him not to hurt these ghosts.
He walked among the ghosts, and found that some of these ghosts were smoking dry cigarettes with pipes in their mouths, and some of them were smiling and looking at a fat doll beside them, with a shape and appearance, like a group of extremely ordinary people. They are not lethal, but why should they be attached to the people of Fuzenong?
Xuanyuan was puzzled and continued to walk forward.
He tried to speak to the ghosts, "Old man, may I ask you that you are not harmful, why do you attach yourself to these peasants?"
But the ghost did his own thing, and no one answered Xuanyuanming's question.
At this time, ten meters away in front of him, two people flew down from the sky, both of them were wearing animal skin masks, and they were two beasts and two heroes.
"It's you...," said Xuanyuan.
"Nature is us, there are ghosts in the world, and where there are unequal things, there will be us. "The two beasts and the two heroes have arrived.
"Two knights, I wonder if you can investigate why these ghosts are attached to the peasants, but they don't harm people, and they don't leave?" asked Xuanyuan Ming.
"Investigation is ongoing. Generally, ghosts have unresolved grievances before they die, so the ghosts will stay in the world for a long time. I saw that they did not look like evil spirits, and they stood in the bodies of peasants and refused to leave. What are their grievances before their deaths, I don't have an idea at the moment, and I'm investigating. The Beast King said.
"Okay, then we can work together to find out. Xuanyuan Ming remembered that the two beasts and the two heroes had saved themselves many times, so he added, "Thank you to the two beasts and the two heroes, who have saved me many times." ”
"Don't, don't thank us, we didn't save you for you," said the Thousand Beast King with his hands crossed.
"Thousand Beast King...", the Ten Thousand Beast King interrupted. "The five continents are a big matter of eliminating demons, and I have the responsibility of the two beasts and two heroes, so I don't need to thank you for this matter. ”
"The two beasts and two heroes are really chivalrous. Xuanyuan Ming praised.
He said that they didn't save people for me, why is that? Xuanyuan Ming didn't have time to think about it before a playful voice sounded behind him.
"It's two beasts and two heroes again. Lan Yi has met the two benefactors and thanked them for their repeated help. Lan Yi said.
"No thanks, no thanks. The King of Ten Thousand Beasts said indifferently.
"Eh, these ghosts really don't hurt people at all, and they look very cute on the outside. The thief king Li Shan ran over and said to Xuanyuan Ming.
At this time, the bandits scattered in all directions, looking left and right to watch these ghost farmers doing their own things, and found it very interesting.
"Alright, don't play, we need to look carefully for clues to find out why these ghosts are possessing the peasants. Xuanyuan Ming said.
"Why don't you go to the village tomorrow to look for clues, maybe you can meet the family members of these ghosts, they may know a thing or two. "Two beasts and two heroes propose.
"Okay, that's all. ”
So everyone rested in the mountain forest next to the Midland Farm, and only waited for the next day to go to the villages near the Midland Farm to look for clues.
The next day.
Inevitably the momentum was too loud, Xuanyuan Ming only took a few brothers, dressed up as ordinary people, and went to the village near the Zhongjing Farm to check.
The doors and windows in the village were locked, and Xuanyuan Ming knocked on the doors of the people's houses, and they didn't know that there was anyone in the door, in short, no one answered.
"What's going on, where are all the people in this village? The thief boss Li Shan complained.
"Let's look again. Xuanyuan Ming said.
The group walked forward again, and suddenly some officers and soldiers came in the distance. Xuanyuan Ming and the others hurriedly hid.
"One by one, they knocked on the door, and when they saw a man over ten years old, they took him out and took him to work in the field. Recently, when the peasants are not working, and when they are lazy, they have to quickly grasp some trust and replenish it. Master Liu said, one or two pieces of silver per person. "The leader of the officers and soldiers drank nonsense, and several officers and soldiers under him worked.
"Order!"
So a group of officers and soldiers went out in all directions, shouting noisily in the village. Seeing that he couldn't knock on the doors of the people's houses, he kicked open the doors of the people's houses and searched inside.
There were small children crying everywhere.
"Report to the adults, I have checked it, and there are no more men over the age of ten in the people's families. ”
It seems that the officers and soldiers searched for nothing.
The leader of the officers and soldiers was so angry that he stamped his feet, "What! Then how do you want me to explain to Master Liu?" I can't care so much, and women with physical strength also want to go and catch them for me!"
So the officers and soldiers rushed into the people's houses, ignoring the people's cries and cries, and arrested more than a dozen women.
"It's so hateful!"
Xuanyuan Ming, the two beasts and two heroes, the thief Li Shan and others were indignant when they saw it, and several people flew over and beat up the officers and soldiers who arrested women at will.
The officers and men were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth. "You, you mean?"
"I want you Master Liu to report my name as the two beasts and two heroes, let's mention Tianxingdao, if he has a problem, you can come to me, and I will tell him. The Beast King clenched his fists to a rattle.
The officers and soldiers fled.
