Chapter Twenty-Three: The Resourceful Villagers
"I couldn't think of two names so good, I was so lucky! No, I had to write them in the family tree so that no one else would get a head start. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The old man smiled, couldn't wait to squeeze through the crowd and ran towards the village, came to the ancient well, looked down at it and said contemptuously: "This is the well that Ji De's kid fell into, I always pay attention to it." ”
As he spoke, he moved his body to the side, and was about to leave, when suddenly a familiar voice came from the well, "Haha! This place is so hidden, even if the blacksmith Ji has three heads and six arms, he can't find here! Haha! I have found a treasure!"
"What are you looking for me for?" asked the blacksmith when he came to the well at some point, stuck his head in it, and asked in confusion.
"Treasure?" The old man who was about to leave with his feet raised heard the word "treasure", his eyes flashed, revealing a greedy look, and he quickly pulled away the blacksmith Ji who was lying on the well, he bent down and looked at the bottom of the dark well and asked, "Ji De, what did you just say?"
"Is it the village chief?" A surprised and vigilant voice came from the bottom of the well, and then Ji De's laugh echoed inside: "Hehe, it's nothing, I haven't picked anything up, ah! The weather is so good today, and the earthworms at the bottom of the well have come out to bask in the sun." ”
"There's a problem! Could it be that this kid has really picked up a treasure?" the old man's eyes rolled slightly, and he looked down with wide eyes, trying to see the bottom of the well, but one of them accidentally fell down.
"The village chief fell into the well to save Ji De!" someone shouted, and the crowd immediately stirred.
"Don't worry, everyone! Ji De's belly is very big, and the village chief will definitely be fine if he falls!" A farmer holding a triangular iron fork and wearing a straw hat walked out of the crowd to calm down everyone, and after everyone calmed down, he came to Li Xiao and stared at him with wide eyes and said: "Boy! Remember that I don't! Yesterday I asked you to look for a bride according to the task clue 'widow', and you found something for me!"
Pulling out the white-haired old woman who was wearing a big red wedding dress next to him, he said angrily: "Look, everyone! I asked this kid to find the bride and gave him a hint, but he found an old woman for me! I mistakenly thought she was a widow grand, and she tossed her all night, and now I still have a back pain!"
"Hey, old man, what do you mean!" Li Xiao said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't she the bride, the new bride, I worked hard to find her for you, but I didn't expect you to do such a beastly thing to her!"
The old woman on the side listened to the farmer's words, raised her lifeless eyelids, waved her stick and smashed the yellow dragon, and exclaimed strangely: "What!
"No, no, no!" the farmer covered his pants and gritted his teeth, and said righteously, Ling Ran: "My farmer will naturally not repay his debts!"
"That's pretty much it. The old woman nodded with satisfaction, raised her wrinkled old face, pursed her lips and made a strange sound of "poo ......".
The farmer forcibly kissed the old woman with discomfort, and then under the dull gaze of everyone, he pointed at Li with tears in his eyes and said with a smile: "Fellow villagers, you have all seen it, this kid ...... me Anyway, he's broken the rules badly, and I'm proposing to bring in the village chief! Let's sign a declaration denying this kid to pass the second level! Everyone ......."
Before he could finish his words, a frightened scream suddenly came from the ancient well next to him, "Help! There are snakes! I'm most afraid of snakes!"
"It's noisy!" the farmer was interrupted, his forehead was bruised, he raised his iron fork and threw it down, and then turned to face the crowd with indignation, and said, "I hate to be interrupted when I speak, by the way, where did I just speak?" ”
"You say, get the village chief. Blacksmith Ji stayed for a while and said, "However, it seems that there is no need to look for it now." ”
"Uh......" The farmer glanced around, and saw the villagers looking at him dumbfounded, looking like you were a "murderer", and when he saw this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Ah! The cows on my farm haven't drunk milk yet, and I have to go back to milking them!" After saying that, he turned around and left, but he stepped on the air and fell into the well.
"The farmer has fallen into the well!" the blacksmith exclaimed, walked quickly to the well, bowed down to check the situation inside, and after a while, he stood up and said to the villagers with a sad face: "The farmer has fallen for so long, he must be dead, let's go back and divide his farm." ”
The villagers' eyes lit up, and they all nodded in agreement, "The blacksmith is right! The farmer is dead, and there is no one to take care of his farm, so we have to take care of him." ”
"Divide the farm! Divide the farm!" The old woman in the red robe, who had just married the farmer, bent her waist and turned around and slowly left.
"Haha! Great! I don't have to pay back the money I owe to the farmer!"
"Yes, I don't have to return my two cows!"
The crowd was overjoyed and about to leave, when the farmer's cry for help came from the bottom of the well, "Help! I can't swim!"
The familiar voice made the bright smiles on the faces of the villagers freeze instantly, as if they were still in heaven one moment and fell into hell the next.
"Help! we must rescue the farmer!" After a moment of silence, a woman in black spoke loudly, and then looked at the blacksmith Ji beside her with soft eyes and said: "Blacksmith, the rest will be left to you, you must rescue him, we support you!" As soon as her words came out, many villagers nodded their heads seriously.
Blacksmith Ji's eyes narrowed, he felt an unprecedented pressure slowly pressing on him, at this time he was in the hope of everyone, he must not miss the slightest, nodded firmly at the villagers, he resolutely walked to the well, under the expectant gaze of everyone, he pulled out the hammer pinned to his waist, raised it high and threw it down.
"Ahh
Blacksmith Ji picked up the hammer, turned his head to look at the disappointed villagers, the woman in black nodded at him, waved her hand lightly, and more than two dozen villagers immediately walked out of the crowd and put all kinds of farm tools in their hands on the ground, silently returning to the team to cast encouraging glances at him.
Clenched his fists, Ji blacksmith gritted his teeth and grabbed more than a dozen farm tools to throw Zheng into the well with the strength to eat, and then grabbed more than a dozen and threw them in continuously, until all the farm tools were thrown, then he sat on the ground panting and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, this time he threw so many murder weapons in a row and locked the dead corner of the deep well, thinking that the farmer should hang even if he has three heads and six arms.
After a long time, there was no movement in the well, and the blacksmith Ji stood up and lay down on the side of the well, looked down, and shouted loudly: "Ji Dashan, how are you? Are you dead?" Seeing that there was no response from the well, he could be sure that the farmer was dead, and just as he was about to get up and tell the villagers the news, a silver light suddenly shot from the bottom of the well, and in a hurry, he hurriedly dodged to the side, and as a result, his body lost his balance and fell into the well.
The villagers outside the well watched all this blankly, and the woman in black in front of her was overwhelmed with grief and said, "Ah! After speaking, she turned and walked out of the crowd and said happily: "Blacksmith Ji has fallen, let's go and take over his blacksmith shop and the farmer's farm!"
"Okay, I want an iron cage and an iron whip!" Ah Zhen, a widow with a pimple-covered face, her eyes flashed, and she shook her fat body excitedly and rushed to the blacksmith shop, and nearly a hundred villagers behind her cheered in unison, and rushed towards the farm and the blacksmith shop.
Seeing the villagers leave in a hurry, Li Xiao's hanging heart finally relaxed.
Li ...... Brother Li: It doesn't seem to be over yet, you ...... You ......" Lin Qing pulled Li Xiao's sleeve and pointed to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing a few battles on the right, wearing a warm yellow long skirt and bright teeth.
"Hey, little ghost, I haven't seen a handsome guy! Hurry away, don't stand here and be an eyesore!" Li Xiao was confused, he didn't remember that he took over this girl's task yesterday, probably an admirer, so he waved his hand impatiently at her.
When the girl heard Li Xiao's words, her resentful eyes immediately became hazy, and she sobbed softly, she raised her head and cried: "Woo...... Mother...... Yes...... Someone is bullying me!woo......"
The candidates who were about to disperse around heard the girl's cry and gathered again, pointing at Li Xiao and the others, making Lin Qing and Zhou Jiancheng quite embarrassed, as for Tingxue, she walked over to comfort the girl, and at the same time glared at Li Xiao with burning eyes: "Damn scum! What did you do to your little sister!
......
More than a dozen battles away, behind a thick/strong locust tree, a black-clothed masked man watched Li Xiao and his party from a distance, and a gloomy laugh came out of his mouth, "Hehe, Li Xiao, this time you are dead! Miss will go out in person, even if you have nine lives, you have to hand them over obediently!"
Seeing a group of peasants standing beside him at some point staring at him curiously, he said angrily: "Look at it! I haven't seen a handsome guy!"
"Handsome guy?" Wu Daniu looked at him in confusion and said, "You said you are a handsome guy, how can you prove it?"
"Proof?" The masked man was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "I am so handsome, do I still need to prove it! Hurry up and get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!"
Wu Daniu stared at the man in black stupidly for a while, waved his hand and said, "Take him back to the village, and then release him after we have verified that he is a handsome guy!"
