After dinner the next morning, Li Hu's mother went to the east of the village to wait. When www.biquge.info left yesterday, the old patriarch told them that these people would spend the night in the mountains and come back the next day.

It stands to reason that he can't come back until noon, but his son spent the night in the mountains, and his life and death are unknown. She was already anxious, where to sit.

As a result, when I arrived at the village, she was not the first. The old patriarch stood there, talking to people. Wet and stained with a layer of dew, I don't know how long I have been here. It can be seen from the movements of his gaze from time to time that he is very anxious in his heart.

Then people came one after another, and by noon, all the people in the village had come here. I just hope to see the hunter sooner.

A group of people waited left and right, talking to people, and their eyes were fixed on the dirt road outside the village. A little bit of wind and grass can attract attention. It's a pity that there is a shadow of someone on the road.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and finally sets. The hearts of the people also sank a little bit. At first, there were just tears swirling in the eyes, and after a while, some people were crying softly, and finally they were crying.

Li Ze ignored his identity as a scholar, went to the ancestral hall several times to offer incense, and did not answer when he asked for news.

The old patriarch slapped his crutches and shouted, "What are you crying about, the child has no news yet, maybe something is delayed, and he will come back tomorrow." Give me home to eat, crying and crying. ”

He said so, but even he didn't believe it. Just endure the grief and drive the villagers home. More than a dozen teenagers died in the village at once, so how could he live. His eldest grandson is still in it.

Land God, land god, if the children really can't come back, I'm not done with you, even if you become a ghost, I won't let you go.

Suddenly, someone pointed behind and shouted, "There's a fire, someone is coming." ”

All the people couldn't help but look behind them. I saw a faint fire in the mountains and forests in the distance. A glimmer of hope emerges from people's already desperate hearts.

It's just that because it's night, ghosts are rampant outside, so people don't dare to take a step outside the village. I could only endure the excitement, scratching my ears and cheeks anxiously and walking back and forth.

Li Ze ran over from the Land Ancestral Hall, panting and shouting, "There is news from the Land Ancestral Hall, it is they who are back, let us go and greet them." None of them were injured. ”

As soon as these words came out, people could no longer hold back their excitement and poured out of the village like a tide.

The old patriarch was old and frail, and seeing that everyone was far away, there was not even anyone to support him. shouted, "Li Hu's daughter-in-law, don't go so fast, help me over." ”

From afar, by the light of the fire, people could see the hunters. One, two, three, four...... One no less.

Before they could meet each other, the two sides shouted. "Son", "Father", "Mother"

Although there are not many words, it is enough to see that the excitement of both sides is extremely dangerous, and it is almost risking their lives to gamble.

"Dad, look what we hit. ”

Three wild boars, five sika deer, two roe deer, a dozen hares, pheasants, and a large bear. With so many prey, they usually can't hold them at all, so that the villagers can have a full meal and grit their teeth and drag them back.

When I met my family, I felt that my hands and feet were weak, and I didn't even have the strength to stand.

"Whew" a great guy was lifted up by the villagers and thrown into the air to vent the excitement in his heart.

After a long while, the villagers worked in pairs, carried the hunter on their shoulders, and walked towards the village like a hero who had returned from victory.

The old patriarch stood on the side of the road and watched all this, smiling from ear to ear. He had never seen this harvest scene in his dreams.

Of course, this is Shen Jiancheng's heart, if it weren't for his secret obstruction, how could these hunters who are like arrows wait until dark to come back.

Now it seems that the effect is good, after experiencing the pain of Kante, disappointment, despair, the loss of loved ones, and suddenly discovering the return of loved ones, there are so many unimaginable prey. The hearts of the villagers were already excited, and they didn't know how to describe it. To the land god in addition to gratitude or gratitude.

The old patriarch thought of the blasphemy he had just made to the land god, and his heart was full of guilt. He couldn't help but shout to the crowd, "Come on, take out the pots and pans at home, and celebrate in front of the land shrine tonight." Son, go and take out my daughter Hong, which I have treasured for many years, and I won't get drunk today. ”

"Whoa. "The already lively atmosphere was taken to the next level, and the heroes were put on the ground to rest. They began to prepare, your family took the bowl, I took the pot, lit a bonfire to barbecue the wild deer, and soon the dinner began in the open space in front of the ancestral hall.

The first batch of roasted game was placed in front of the statue of the land god as an offering.

The old patriarch led many villagers to burn incense and kowtow in front of the land shrine to thank the land god for bringing them so much delicious food and bless their families with safety.

With the movements of the old patriarch, the villagers followed and bowed. Unlike the last time, I didn't even know what the god of the land was, and I didn't have a trace of sincerity when I knelt down.

This time I bowed down to the people to thank the god of the land sincerely. If he hadn't personally protected the hunting team, how could he have caught so many prey, and it would have been difficult to get out of the mountains alive.

When everyone was seated, the old patriarch was invited to speak as usual. He smiled and picked up the bowl, and the villagers followed suit.

"We should be grateful to the land god for such a harvest this time. Let's pay a toast to the god of the land. ”

After speaking, he didn't feel sorry for his daughter Hong, who had been treasured for ten years, and respectfully poured it on the ground.

This resonated with the villagers, who responded loudly and poured wine in front of the land shrine. Then they knelt down and thanked the land god for the good harvest they had brought and prayed that the land god would bless them with a good harvest.

As the wine fell, Shen Jian used his divine power to guide, and he saw a clear spring appear in the legal domain, gurgling out of the wine. Shen Jian scooped a bowl, which was sweet and delicious. The offerings offered on the table also appeared in the open space in the legal domain, piled up like a mountain, exuding an enticing fragrance. They are all the finest game, and they taste delicious and fragrant.

There are also countless incense wishes in the air, which are different from the usual chaotic wishes, and the wishes at this time are extremely pure, carrying only the joy of the harvest.

Even if it is not purified without a talisman, it can be absorbed. No, you can't say that. Shen Jian absorbed a trace of incense wishing power, and felt the joy, excitement, joy and other pleasant emotions in it, like smoking mental drugs.

This does not cause harm to people, and these pleasant emotions are probably the only spiritual solace for the ancestral spirits. Just as a person who is addicted to big * cigarettes sees big * smoke, a hungry beggar sees delicious food, and a demon in color meets a goddess. That feeling is addictive enough.

Even if it falls into Shen Jian's hands, it can make people feel physically and mentally happy, as if they have experienced great joy. It is a rare enjoyment.

Shen Jian thought for a while, collected these incense wishes, and kept them as a reward for his subordinates to make great contributions in the future.

A group of people sang and danced in front of the ancestral hall to celebrate the rare harvest. That enthusiastic scene infected everyone, and it was even rarer than the New Year. From time to time, people run to the ancestral hall to offer incense and thank the land god for his grace.

After the celebration, the old patriarch was a little worried. Not that they were afraid that the land god would leave them, but that they were going to sell the bearskin.

Even the uninformed know that bear skins are precious and rare. This bear, hunted by the village's most clever hunter, is even rarer.

The bow and arrow were shot through the eye socket without damaging the bear's skin, plus this was a hundred-year-old bear that was almost a sperm. The fur is huge and smooth, it can be called the rarest treasure, and the value is huge, if it is sold, the village can also make a lot of money.

However, the main premise is to be able to sell it for its true value. Lijia Village is a small rural mountain village, and in the eyes of the people in the county, it is almost a wild tribe living in the wilderness. Ignorance is the easiest way to deceive the villagers.

Usually, when trading with Lijiacun, I desperately keep the price down, and it is good to have 1/4 of the normal price. The old patriarch knew about this situation, but there was nothing he could do to change it. Now there is a lot of fur accumulated in the village, and this bear skin is very valuable. If he was trading at this price, he was really unwilling.

Thinking in his heart but unable to do anything, he finally put a stick of incense on the land god and asked him for his protection. This was just a chat for comfort, and the old patriarch didn't think that the land god could give him an idea. This problem has been accumulating over decades and will not change overnight.

Who knew that in a dream at night, a ghost official wearing an official uniform came in, and said, "I am an official under the throne of the land god, and I am here to guide you on the order of the land god." ”

This person is Liu Yungui, he was originally the patriarch of the big clan in the county, and he knows things in the county very well. This kind of oppression of the surrounding villages, everyone is doing, and it has long formed a unique rule, and people who do not know it are powerless to resist. Their family runs such a fur shop.

With his secret guidance, these furs in Lijia Village will definitely be sold for a good price. Add to that the difference in price when you buy something, and the difference is more than 10 times.

The old patriarch was grateful, and sincerely thanked the altar for burning incense, promising that if it could be sold at a good price, he would definitely give a great sacrifice to the land god. Then organize a caravan and prepare to go into the county seat to sell furs.
