Chapter 70: Departure.

Li Xiuyuan is indeed tired. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since coming to this Dahu Village for two days, he has not rested, and now that the black fish demon has been removed, all the lakeside water ghosts in Dahu Village have been reincarnated, and all the turmoil can be said to have calmed down, so he slept with peace of mind.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Li Xiuyuan came to his senses.

He didn't wake up from his sleep, but was woken up by the sound of mourning and wailing outside.

"What's going on outside?" Li Xiuyuan yawned and asked a little tiredly.

"Young Master, it's the old village chief who passed away last night. One of the guards outside the door heard the voice and immediately spoke.

Li Xiuyuan paused for a moment, and then remembered it again.

Yes, last night the old village died of longevity, and he has passed away, and his soul still remembers the poor little girl who fights monsters, little bean sprouts, and finally took the little bean sprouts to reincarnate together.

After thinking about it, he was silent for a long time before he sighed and got up to wash.

Just as the guards were fetching water for him to wash, Tie Shan strode into the courtyard at this time.

"The eldest young master, you have finally gotten up, and the little one has something to tell the eldest young master. Iron Mountain said.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiuyuan washed his face and said.

Tie Shan took out a package from his arms and said, "Didn't the eldest young master burn the body of the black fish demon yesterday? Some villagers found two things in the ashes, and they didn't dare to make a claim, so they brought the small ones to the eldest young master to see." ”

When I opened the package, there were two things inside, a turquoise and transparent bead, about the size of a child's fist, which shone faintly in the sunlight, like a jewel.

The other thing was a burned, somewhat jet-black token.

The token is heavy and simple, with a seal on it, and the word Wujiang is written on one side.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, walked over, and looked at the token, but saw that there was a word "will" written on the back, which was also a seal script.

"Wujiang..... Will?" he chuckled, thinking of something.

"Big Young Master, is there something wrong with this thing?" Tie Shan asked curiously.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "There is no problem with things, this black fish demon actually has this seal token on his body, it doesn't seem to be a mountain spirit, I'm afraid that it has a little origin, I remember that a tributary of the Wujiang River is not far from Guo Beicheng, and I used to take a boat when my father and I were doing business in other places." ”

Speaking of which, he was thoughtful again.

Could it be that this black fish demon ran out of the Wujiang River.

If that's the case, then Wujiang is only afraid that there are other water demons.

"Young master, what are these beads? It looks like the eyes of the black fish demon. Iron Mountain said.

"It's the black fish demon's eyeball, but it's also a precious jewel, you can call it a water-repellent orb. Li Xiuyuan came back to his senses, smiled, picked up the turquoise orb, and threw it into the basin just now.

The orb fell, and the water in the basin magically separated.

Tie Shan was surprised: "Avoid, avoid water droplets? This thing is water droplets, so it must be very expensive." ”

"Of course it's very expensive, at least 10,000 taels of silver can be sold, if you take it to the capital and sell it to those dignitaries, the price can be higher, maybe 100,000 taels of silver can be sold." Li Xiuyuan said.

"So valuable?" Iron Mountain took a slight breath.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said: "This water bead also has the villagers' share, we can't be greedy for ink, so let's do it, the silver we brought this time, take out 10,000 taels to these villagers, let them divide the money, well, the family can't share too much money, so as not to cause trouble, more money for the villagers of Dahu Village to repair houses, buy pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock, lest they get the money and use it indiscriminately, let them buy more physical goods, and their lives will be better in the future." ”

"Young Master, this, isn't this a bit too much? This black fish demon is what we got rid of. Tie Shan said with some heartache, obviously reluctant to give up 10,000 taels.

Li Xiuyuan said, "Don't say that, more than 20 villagers in Dahu Village have died, and now the old village chief is dead again, and every household is poor, if we don't help, this Dahu Village will be difficult in the future, and in the past few years when the black fish demon has been in trouble, Dahu Village's family has long been tossed clean." ”

"I'm in charge of this matter, you don't have to persuade me. ”

After saying that, he ordered a few more guards to come in, and prepared to discuss with them to formulate a charter to compensate the villagers of Dahu Village, and then go and invite several village elders of Dahu Village to come over.

The village chief died, and the head of the village could only fall on a few respected village elders.

When Li Xiuyuan talked about compensation, several village elders were immediately startled.

"No, no, Li Gongzi has great kindness and virtue in Dahu Village, how can we collect Li Gongzi's money again, isn't this ungrateful? We will never do this white-eyed wolf thing. ”

"Yes, this silver must not be collected, otherwise we old bones will die in the future, how will we have the face to see Old Man Luo. ”

"Please also ask Li Gongzi to take it back, if we take this money, we will not be scolded by outsiders in the future. ”

Although several village elders were village elders, the ancient villagers were very simple, and when they heard that Li Xiuyuan had helped so much, they had to give money to each family, which made them anxious all of a sudden.

Li Xiuyuan explained with a smile: "I didn't give it to you for nothing, isn't this water demon in Dahu Village dead, it left a jewel, it will be sold to me as 10,000 silver, I plan to distribute 5,000 taels of silver to each family, and the remaining 5,000 taels will be used to build houses in Dahu Village, purchase cattle and sheep, and build four Lei Gong Temples, you don't shirk, otherwise I don't dare to ask for this jewel." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and showed several village elders the water-avoiding beads.

"But this thing is more than so much money, and Li Gongzi has great kindness to us, and this little bead should be given to Li Gongzi. ”

"That's it, that's it, it's good that this thing can be sold for ten taels of silver on the street, and it can be worth 10,000 taels, Li Gongzi doesn't want to trick us old men. ”

These village elders are still as stubborn as ever, unwilling to accept this money.

"Even so, but a few village elders don't think about themselves, but also think about the villagers of Dahu Village, this black fish demon has been in chaos for several years, and every household is poor, and I also promised Lei Gong to build a temple for them, and sacrifice every year, this thing can't be done by me, I can only bother the villagers of Dahu Village, and building temples, buying pigs, cattle and sheep are all places where money is spent, and this money is naturally what I want to pay. Li Xiuyuan thought of a reason and said.

The god said something, and now these village elders have nothing to say.

Sure enough, when it came to Lei Gong's matter, these village elders immediately looked frightened and did not dare to refute.

"Li Gongzi invited Lei Gong to punish the demon, it is also for Dahu Village, even if it is to build a temple to worship, it is also our Dahu Village to do it, how can Li Gongzi break the bank. The village elders thought for a while but still didn't agree.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "Now the villagers are so poor that they can't open the pot, and this Lei Gong Temple was built in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse......

In the end, after persuading for a while, they finally persuaded these village chiefs on the grounds of building a Lei Gong Temple and sacrificing sacrifices, and they reluctantly accepted the money.

Although 10,000 taels of silver may not sound like much, it can be distributed to every household at least 100 taels of silver.

These hundreds of taels of silver may be the accumulation of more than ten years for a villager, and the remaining silver can also be used to repair houses, temples, and buy livestock for villagers.

As long as there are no accidents, this Dahu village will be thriving and bustling in the future.

10,000 taels of silver to bring a brand new Dahu Village, which is not a lot of money.

After everything was discussed, the rest of the matter was presided over by these village elders.

Li Xiuyuan stayed in Dahu Village for a day, paid homage to the dead old village chief, and then explained some things to several village elders, and then slowly drove out of Dahu Village the next day with more than 20 guards such as Tie Shan, as well as several carriages.

Along the way, the villagers of Dahu Village followed behind.

"Engong, go all the way. ”

"Engong, come often when you have time in the future. ”

"Thank you Engong for removing the monsters in our Dahu Village and avenging my dead son. ”

Some people shouted with gratitude, some people were reluctant to give up, and some people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to each other.

Li Xiuyuan wanted to say a few words of farewell, but he still shook his head when the words came to his lips and didn't say anything, just waved his hand from a distance and signaled.

"Let's go. ”

He rode the jade lion and sighed slightly.

It wasn't until they walked out of the village and onto the road that the villagers didn't follow.

But at this time, near the intersection, a dirty beggar boy didn't know when he was already waiting here.

"Little pole, why are you here?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

The little pole didn't speak, just pursed his lips, ran over, stuffed the precious bronze mirror in his hand to Li Xiuyuan, and then left without looking back.

It seems that he wants to give this thing to Li Xiuyuan.
