Chapter 339: Niu Er, who stole cattle
The petals that fell on Zhengguan's body were simply written in two lines: Buqiu, Qiantou Village.
Zhengguan asked:
"A few junior disciples, who knows about this place in Buqiu?"
As he spoke, he handed the petals of the flowers to Zhengwen.
Jiang Zangjiao looked at Niu Hao, Niu Hao looked at Jiang Zangjiao, and the two shook their heads together.
"What about the front village. ”
Zhengguan asked again.
Qiantou Village?
牛昊 says:
"The village in my hometown is called Qiantou Village. ”
Zhengwen looked at Niu Hao and asked with a cold expression:
"Isn't there a place called Buqiu near the village?"
Buqiu, is it a place name?
Niu Hao shook his head.
The elder brother said:
"Is there a mountain near the village?"
Hearing the words of the senior brother, Niu Hao nodded and said:
"It's not a mountain, it's just a small dirt bag. It takes half a day to run to the other side of the mountain. ”
Zhengwen turned his head and glanced at Zhengguan, and Zhengguan said:
"Bu Qiu is called Qiu, and it must not be big. ”
Looking at Niu Hao, Zhengguan then asked:
"Is the shape of that mountain like a tortoise shell?"
Like?
Niu Hao has been herding cattle on the mountain since he was a child, and he never thought about what that mountain looked like.
Niu Hao couldn't answer, and Zhengwen said to Zhengguan:
"Senior brother, I think that's it. ”
He looked down and said:
"Senior Brother Zhengxing leads the way, and we will set off immediately. ”
Leaving for Qiantou Village?
Niu Hao couldn't help but feel excited.
After leaving Qiantou Village for such a long time, Niu Hao also wanted to go back and have a look.
Look at Grandma Seven, look at Grandpa Wu, and let the people in the village know that Niu Er, who ate a hundred meals, did not embarrass the villagers, and now he has become a high-profile disciple of Kongming, and he has learned a powerful skill!
Out of Kongming Mountain, the group did not enter Qingyang City at all. All the way to the east, half a day came to another pier to cross the river, and crossed the Qingjiang River.
When he went ashore, he didn't stop at all, and hurried to Qiantou Village day and night.
Rushed to Qiantou Village, it was just past noon, and the fields were busy with figures.
Although he was far away, Niu Hao could still distinguish which was the village chief and which was the horse dan in the east of the village.
The villagers who were busy in the fields couldn't see Niu Hao. I only saw four young Taoist leaders with fluttering clothes, walking towards the village.
The village chief didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly picked up his hoe and rushed to the village.
Stepping into the entrance of the village, Niu Hao took a big step and walked towards the empty field in front of the ancestral hall.
The four people who entered the village were obviously strangers. But there is one in the middle, and the smell on the body is familiar.
This confused the watchdogs who roamed the village, and followed a few people from a distance, trotting all the way.
When he came to the empty field, Niu Hao saw Grandpa Wu, the seventh grandmother, following the old people in the village, sitting under the wall to bask in the sun.
Several old people saw a big man hurrying over, and the big robe he wore brought a gust of wind. One said that it looked like a Taoist chief from the mountain, and the other said that it was an official from the Yamen.
Grandpa Wu squinted his eyes and said that officials had never dressed so fancy. This is the people of the opera troupe who have come to the village to set up a social fire again.
Niu Hao walked over quickly and shouted in his mouth:
"Seventh Grandma, Grandpa Wu!"
The seventh grandmother hung her head and was dozing.
was startled by Niu Hao's loud voice, raised his head and looked at Niu Hao for a long time, then turned his head and asked Grandpa Wu:
"Who's this?"
Grandpa Wu said with certainty:
"The drama troupe came to the village to set up a social fire. ”
"Set up a fire?"
The seventh grandmother was old, but she was not confused at all, and asked:
"This is not a New Year's holiday, what kind of social fire is there?"
Niu Hao knew that if they were allowed to argue here, they could fight until night. Then he said loudly:
"I'm Niu Er!"
Niu Er?
Several old people all looked at Niu Hao.
After a while, the seventh grandmother said:
"It's really Niu Er. ”
Grandpa Wu also saw it and asked:
"Niu Er, you're not dead yet. ”
The seventh grandmother glanced at Grandpa Wu fiercely, and said to Niu Hao:
"You have not heard from you since you left, and the villagers think you are dead outside. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Niu Hao.
"Come here, let Grandma Seven see what kind of outfit you're wearing. ”
Niu Hao stretched out the placket of the robe in front of him and said:
"Dao robe. Didn't you ask me to go to Kongming Mountain to be a Taoist priest? ”
Seventh Grandma didn't know if she remembered, she just nodded, took Niu Hao's hand, and suddenly whispered:
"You secretly told Grandma Seventh that you led the old cattle in the village, did you sell them or kill them and eat them?"
What the?
Niu Hao looked at Grandma Seven.
How did I kidnap the old cattle in the village?
The old cattle in the village were killed by the thunder. I dragged the old cattle back, and the whole village couldn't stop the gluttony in their stomachs, so they stewed and ate the old cattle. Because I couldn't explain it to the government, he pushed me out and carried the black cauldron, causing me to die from now on.
I remember that the way your old man gnawed on the bones of a cow that night was not lost to the young people of the village.
The seventh grandmother patted Niu Hao's hand and said:
"You took the old cattle from the village, but you hurt the villagers. The official from the yamen, who has lived in the village for half a month, will arrest you and ask you for your guilt. The official is an adult, and the villagers have to get together, and they are waiting for a meal of wine and meat. ”
Listening to Grandma Seven, Grandpa Wu took over the conversation and said:
"It can only be said that today's world is becoming more and more unpopular. In the years when I was on an errand, I carried dry food on my back when I went out to handle cases, so how dare I take advantage of the locals. ”
Niu Hao couldn't help but sigh.
The people in the village ate the old scalper and asked me to come out and carry the black pot, which was nothing.
It is just a rhetoric used to deceive the government, and it cannot be turned into the truth and passed on. Speaking of this incident many years later, we all know that Niu Ergui of Qiantou Village ran away from the old scalper and was wanted by the government.
The truth of the matter is that the old and young masters in the village have teamed up to eat the old scalper. Even the guards in the village have cow bones to fight for, but I, Niu Er, didn't even drink a mouthful of soup!
Niu Hao said to the seventh grandmother:
"Seventh Grandma, that cow ......"
The seventh grandmother waved her hand at Niu Hao and said:
"It's all over, and the villagers in the village won't hold a grudge against you. Now that you have become a Taoist priest again, you don't have to be afraid of the government coming to arrest you. When I came back, I stayed in peace for a few days and talked to the seventh grandmother. ”
It's really hard to say, is it?
Niu Hao was a little helpless.
The village chief chased the Taoist who entered the village to Kongchang. Seeing Niu Hao, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, blurted out:
"Niu Er?"
Niu Hao turned his head, looked at the village chief, and said coldly:
"Yes, village chief, Niu Er, who stole cattle, has come back and turned himself in to you. ”
When the village chief heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled on his face and said:
"These old people in the village are old and confused. Don't believe them. ”
