Chapter 8: The Secret of Fangjiazhuang (II)
Shen Lang didn't know how much property the Shen family owned.
According to the performance of his father in the memory of the predecessor Shen Lang, I am afraid that the cheap father did not really care about how much family business there was, and everything was taken care of by the housekeepers and the bookkeepers.
In Shen Ling's opinion, as long as the Shen family has been swordsmen for generations, the most slaves in the family are to take advantage of them, so there is no need to worry.
So when Shen Ling had an accident, all the housekeepers' accounts fled, and they couldn't even find an account book at home, and all the gold and silver in the family were extorted by the government.
So when he chatted with Fang Zhi, nicknamed Monkey, he was really shocked!
First of all, he underestimated the richness of his own property, and secondly, the incident of the Shen family's manor was really inside!
According to the young Fang Zhi, most of the people in the entire Fangjia Village worked for the Shen family, and half of the men in the village were field guests, cultivating the Shen family's land, and half were hired workers on the ferry, unloading goods, chariots and horses, repairing ships, and undertaking all the chores.
Many women also joined the Shen family's mulberry garden and were divided into three classes, the first class was responsible for weaving silk embroidery, the second class was responsible for silk reeling, and the third class was responsible for planting mulberry and raising silkworms; Fang Zhi's sister Chen Fangshi was a first-class weaver, specializing in weaving su aya, and her brother-in-law was responsible for driving and pulling goods in the manor, and her life was not bad.
Just when my sister was about to give birth, Fang Zhi, the uncle who was about to take out his savings to build a long-life lock, had an accident in the Shen family's manor, and the miasma spread overnight, and the nearby plants and trees withered, and people and animals were poisoned and died.
When Fang Zhi got the news and returned to Fangjia Village, he learned that dozens of people in the village, including his sister, had an accident, and no one died or died.
Fang Zhi's parents died early when he was a child, and he grew up with his sister, and later he was able to enter the martial arts hall to learn art and his brother-in-law made great efforts, so he thought that at least he should let his sister and his wife settle down.
Although he mainly learned bone correction and bruises in the martial arts hall, he also learned a lot of detoxification methods through medical books, so he covered his nose with a sweat towel soaked in medicated water, and equipped a bottle of antidote, and then sneaked in to find his sister's corpse.
Although he moved quietly at night, Fang Zhi had been crawling around the neighborhood since he was a child, and he was confident that he would not get lost.
But it didn't take long for him to be unable to walk.
The deeper he went in the direction of the manor, the worse his spirit became, with a headache and nausea, and finally Fang Zhi almost fainted on the road, but fortunately, he pricked the acupoint with a silver needle in time, and returned while he was awake for a moment so that he did not fall on the road.
In the next two days, Fang Zhi tried twice, but he still couldn't get close to the Shen family's manor, so in the end, he had to give up and set up a mound for his sister and them.
Three months later, the elders of the village sent someone to look for him to return, and then he learned that the disaster was not over.
It turned out that not long after the Shen family's manor was sealed, there were many more wild beasts outside the village, and chickens and ducks were taken away and eaten every once in a while.
Later, it became more and more serious, and even began to break into the villagers' houses in the middle of the night, directly taking away the piglets and lambs, and then the villagers realized that it was not the imaginary night wolf or lynx at all, but a more terrifying and unrecognizable beast.
What's even more terrifying is that some wild beasts have actually started attacking people!
The first to suffer were a few lonely elderly families, and the villagers went to hear the screams at night, and then saw the horrific remains of the victims, completely shriveled, as if they had been dried for decades!
At this time, the villagers were really afraid, and the next day the village chief sent someone to report to the official, but the officials received filial piety, but no one came to the village!
Just as the villagers pooled their money and were about to invite a few dart masters from the Huwei Dart Bureau to eliminate the harm, two young heroes came to the village.
At first, the villagers saw them as saviors, as they quickly found the blood-sucking monster and slaughtered it on the spot after the battle.
Everyone thought that these two young heroes would completely eradicate the other demon beasts, but they didn't expect that these two young heroes would eat, drink and practice martial arts in the village every day, and completely ignore the attacks on livestock by other beasts.
Ten days later, when they were gone, the officials came, and brought with them a ban from the village, and the people of the village were not allowed to leave the village for a year.
If you are not a fool, you can smell the weirdness inside!
So the village pooled a sum of money and sent someone to the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion to find Fang Zhi, asking him to help find a few leaders of the martial arts hall to go to the village to get rid of those monsters.
Everyone has been scared for so long, and naturally found that the most terrifying blood-sucking monsters are those ordinary monsters that eat livestock, as long as you find a way to get rid of those ordinary monsters that are less daring and not so smart, you don't have to be afraid of those blood-sucking monsters appearing!
Fang Zhi immediately contacted several familiar sect leaders, and several sect leaders agreed at that time, but the next day they all changed their minds and refused.
Just when Fang Zhi wanted to go to other gang forces for help, he was warned by a familiar messenger that if he continued to jump up and down because of the matter of Fangjia Village, he would soon be welcomed in prison.
After all, he was still a teenager, and Fang Zhi could only helplessly ask someone to send Yin Liang back, and he was ashamed.
During this period of time, he was suffering so much in his heart, and the pressure in his heart was about to make him crazy, so when he found out about Shen Lang, he couldn't help but help, and couldn't wait to talk about it.
"Those young heroes appeared again later!" Shen Lang frowned when he heard this, and asked.
"Yes, a month ago, there was a vampire demon beast in the village again, this time until more than thirty people died in the village, those young heroes did not appear again, they went into the mountains to hunt the demon beast for more than ten days before returning to the village, telling everyone that the vampire demon beast was killed and then left again. Fang Zhi nodded in response.
It's completely a harvest, and the poor people of Fangjiazhuang are completely regarded as fertilizer.
The mutation of ordinary beasts infected by miasma, because mutation requires sufficient nutrition, so the livestock raised by the villagers has become their best supplement, and the demon beasts that have completely completed the mutation are not satisfied with ordinary blood food, and humans have become the best food!
And the demon beasts that have evolved to be able to suck blood seem to be precious prey to those young heroes, so they will come to harvest again and again.
It's just really chilling!
People can't help but think of Mr. Lu Xun's cannibalism, there really exists such a thing as treating people as livestock in this world!
"Is it the Three Peerless Sects?" Shen Lang asked in a low voice.
When Fang Zhi told it just now, every time he talked about those young heroes, there was always an unnatural pause, his expression was nervous, and his voice trembled, naturally because of the fear in his heart.
To be able to have such a high level of force, and to be able to easily command the Commanding Mansion, Shen Lang is of course the first to guess the Three Peerless Sects that dominate Jizhou.
Fang Zhi pursed his lips and swallowed his saliva, nodding slightly.
Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that everything could be strung together, the Song family deliberately targeted it during this time, and the three young men of the Song family took Jiang Hutou to the Three Peerless Villas to apprentice.
He was still strange before, even if Jiang Hutou could steal the Shen family's wind-chasing sword, the Song family would be so generous that Jiang Hutou would also follow the apprenticeship, but now it seems that there is no accident, the death of Shen Lang's father, the manor was sealed, everything is related to the Three Peerless Villas.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Three Peerless Villas to accept Shen Lang to enter, so they will give special preferential treatment to Jiang Hutou, who stole the Wind Chasing Sword, so that Shen Lang could not apprentice to the Three Peerless Villas.
Damn!
Shen Lang clenched his fists, he really wanted to kill someone at this moment!
After telling Shen Lang everything, Fang Zhi, who was quite tormented in his heart, was much more relaxed, and after instructing Shen Lang about some dietary taboos, he took his leave and left.
Fang Zhi didn't ask Shen Lang for help, because in his opinion, Shen Lang was also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river himself, and he was just simply confiding.
However, Shen Lang had a strong intention rising in his heart at this moment, and he was a little ashamed that he didn't think about saving those villagers immediately, but preempted those martial artists of the Three Peerless Mountain Villas to kill the demon beasts, and he couldn't let them benefit so easily!
One day, I will become very strong, and I must destroy this Three Peerless Mountain Villa that despises human life so much!
The fire of anger was burning, Shen Lang could no longer sit quietly on the ground, he stood up without hesitation, opened his posture and began to practice boxing.
Over and over again, it was like a demon practicing boxing.
Before he knew it, it was dusk, and the exhausted Shen Lang was so tired that he couldn't lift his arm, but there was still a breath in his chest, which made him feel difficult to breathe!
Looking at the wooden stake not far away, feeling the pain in his legs, Shen Lang suddenly swept out a kick with all his strength like a mad convulsion, and his shin bones smashed heavily on the stake like a stick, even through the straw mat, there was still a muffled sound of wood being struck.
The expected severe pain did not hit, and there was a flash of light on Shen Lang's calf in his vision, and before he knew it, he had completed the pile kicking skill, and because of the blessing of the Canglong Ring, he was directly promoted to the second layer.
It's not just the kicking pile, but the Fuhu Fist has also been promoted!
Is this a prompt from the Divine?
Remind yourself that you don't need to endure it for so long, you can take a small breath first!
