Chapter Twenty-Five: Devouring
(This is a regularly released chapter, and the Southern Dynasty is estimated to be on the way back, continue to ask for support!)
Today, the sun is warm, falling on the body, there is a warm laziness.
Ye Junsheng moved a rattan chair and sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun, thinking about things.
In the vicinity of the Huang family's ancestral house, there are many villages, which together are Guangping Township, which was the lowest administrative unit in the Tianhua Dynasty.
The township is above the county, the county is the government, and the government is the state.
The Tianhua Dynasty had a total of nine states, namely Jizhou, Xiazhou, Rongzhou, Pingzhou, Yongzhou, Yuzhou, Bingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou.
Of course, in this world, there is not only the Tianhua Dynasty, but also the herdsmen's kingdom "Mengyuan" with the grassland as its foundation to the north; to the west of Xiazhou, there is Tianzhu, which is known as "half sand and half Buddha"; and overseas there is an island country called "Yamato".
Anyway, this world is no longer the Earth plane. When it comes to geographical history, it cannot be judged by old routines.
During this period of time, Ye Junsheng did not sit at home and wait for food, but constantly digested the memory and knowledge of nerds, so as to understand the world he was in more clearly.
I have to say that although the nerd doesn't listen to things outside the window, he relies on reading a lot of books and really learns a lot of talent, which helps a lot.
This is probably what the saying goes, "stay at home, know the world".
Having said that, "knowing" is one thing, "doing" is another, and there is no necessary logical relationship. Otherwise, in the past few years, the nerd will not be hungry, without clothing, and will live by eating his sister's "soft rice".
Ye Junsheng crossed over, and his life goal was not just fixed on seeking food and clothing, but the manifestation of "Spirit Fox Map" allowed him to come into contact with an extraordinary and mysterious realm.
He wanted to enter this field, but now, he couldn't get in.
Since the last time the fox fairy appeared and asked Ye Junsheng to buy a cow, there has been no supernatural performance. This made Ye Junsheng wonder if the fox fairy was injured, so he hid in the painting to recuperate, and couldn't show too much...... Or, in fact, she was hiding from the enemy or something.
Inexplicably, Ye Junsheng remembered the short Taoist priest he met on the street again. The other party is different from those Taoist priests in the legend of the fairy wind bones, but with a domineering aura, he appeared in Pengcheng County, is he passing by, or is there a plan?
The fox fairy does not manifest, and at present, Ye Junsheng can only pin his hopes on the old cow "Great Sage", hoping to open a breakthrough through it.
Helplessly, the current great sage is not visible, and everything is not easy to conclude.
Thoughts fluttered in my mind like dust invisible to the naked eye. Gradually, it went back to the long-standing and difficult "livelihood problem".
After all, only by living can there be a future, and the premise of living is food and clothing. The scarcity of grain stocks is an imminent problem.
About an hour later, Ye Junmei came back and began to have lunch. After eating, she went out again, saying that she wanted to take a walk around the surrounding villages to see if there was any suitable work to do.
Seeing her slender back, Ye Junsheng felt a sense of self-esteem.
If your sister is like this, what more can you ask for?
But I know in my heart that my sister is afraid that she will run into a wall and return this time. Where is there anything to do in different counties and towns in the countryside? However, it is not good to say this to your face, so as not to be hit.
Sure enough, when the sun was about to set westward, Ye Junmei came back depressed.
"Jun Mei, there is no endless road, there is always a way. ”
Facing his brother's relief, Ye Junmei said very seriously: "Well, don't worry, brother, I will definitely be able to make money." You don't have to worry, if you have time, you can study more books and prepare for the spring boy's test. ”
Ye Junsheng said with a smile: "My brother has been studying for many years, and the sage articles have been imprinted in my heart, where do I need Wen Shu?"
Having said that, many things are not a foregone conclusion, and there are always variables.
Only by becoming a talent can you have the qualifications to participate in the imperial examination and enter the official career, which can be said to be the beginning of the world's scholars. However, this step, sometimes it is like a moat, some people have taken the exam for a lifetime, and they have gray hair, dizzy eyes, and they have not yet passed the exam, and they still can't get rid of the embarrassing identity of "boy chicken".
Sixty- or seventy-year-old boys are not beautiful talk, but laughing stock.
After a rough dinner, night fell, and there were only a few stars in the void, and the light was dim. When it arrived, the wind suddenly blew on the ground, and dark clouds swept in, covering the sky, and in an instant, there was a change in the sky.
Count the days, winter has arrived.
The wind was whistling, Ye Junsheng couldn't sleep, thinking of the great sage in the courtyard, he was afraid that it would be cold, so he got up, but saw that Ye Jun's eyebrows next door also got up.
"Brother, it's so windy, maybe it's going to rain cold, what should the Great Sage do?"
"Bring it in and spend the night under the eaves. ”
So Ye Junmei took the Great Sage and let him lie under the corridor outside the room, and he had the right to live in peace.
This old cow was obedient and lay quietly on his stomach, not showing any restless posture.
The north wind was whistling, and when it was about the time, it shook off the cold rain that was falling all over the sky. This is winter rain, a little cold, if it hits the body, I am afraid that it will cause goosebumps.
There was a kang under the bed, which was not cold, but Ye Junsheng tossed and turned, restless, and it was always difficult to sleep peacefully. His eyes widened, and he stared at the window in a daze.
This window is a little dilapidated, with two cracks, through which you can see the deep night outside.
Suddenly, a ball of turquoise light flashed, especially conspicuous.
Ghost fire?
Ye Junsheng's heart was sudden, he got out of bed with a bone, and tiptoed to the window, concentrating on guard. Next, he witnessed a scene that he will never forget in his life:
A ball of blue fire, the size of a skull, floating in the wind and rain, irregular shape, many changes, sometimes it becomes like a human shape, vaguely visible, is a blue-faced and fanged little ghost, extremely hideous. In the dead of night, in vain, the timid are afraid that they will immediately be frightened and scattered, and the feces and urine will flow.
Ye Junsheng's mouth was dry, and cold sweat broke out involuntarily.
The ghost fire looked slow, and the trajectory of the fluttering was very secretive, and suddenly it turned around and floated towards the room where Ye Junmei was.
Not good!
Ye Junsheng screamed secretly, and was about to open the door and go out to rescue. At this moment, a shadow Huo Ran stood up, it was the old cow "Great Sage" who was lying under the porch in peace. When I opened my eyes, they were big and round, and there were flashes of excitement, shining in the vast night.
As soon as it moved, the ghost fire seemed to be frightened, and the strange "squeak" scream, which was not like a human voice, was about to float away.
Laugh at!
A faint yellow light erupted from the Great Sage's nose, like a whip, with lightning speed, swept away the ghost fire, quickly retracted, and sent it directly into his mouth, chewing sound:
"After gnawing on the grass and leaves for many years, the beak faded out of the bird, and tonight I was finally able to open the meat, which was delicate and refreshing, and it tasted good. ”
Suddenly, the old cow, frightened to death, opened his mouth to say a human word, and then lay down as if nothing had happened. In a moment, a low snoring sounded, as if he had fallen asleep.
