"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

Just as Zhang Xuan was thinking about the information brought by the mouse demon Bao, a cry interrupted Zhang Xuan's thoughts.

I looked up, but I didn't see a single figure, "Well, could it be that I am hallucinating?"

"Woooooooooo......oo Woo woo woo ...... "Just when Zhang Xuan doubted himself, the cry came again.

This time, Zhang Xuan heard it very clearly, although the sound was not loud, it did exist, and it could not be an auditory hallucination.

So, Zhang Xuan unfolded his consciousness and probed to the place where the cry came from. I saw about a mile away at the entrance of the village, under a big camphor tree hugged by two people, I don't know when a thin man in his thirties came, who was leaning against the camphor tree and crying quietly, and raised his sleeves from time to time to wipe his tears.

Due to the shade of the camphor tree, Zhang Xuan did not find the man at first.

"In broad daylight, how could there be a man crying under the tree?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

In ancient times, it was especially important for a man to shed blood without tears, and once a man cried, he would be looked down upon.

What's more, the man looked like an ordinary farmer, as the lowest level of society, they were used to being bullied and exploited, and their patience was particularly strong, if it wasn't really desperate, they wouldn't resist at all.

Zhang Xuan couldn't figure it out, but seeing that the man should also be from Dahe Village, maybe he could get some useful information from him to solve his doubts!

So Zhang Xuanfei went down the mountain and walked towards the man, "Let's see what's going on, if you can help, help him!"

"This strong man is invited!" Zhang Xuan came to the man and found that the man was only sad and did not see himself, so Zhang Xuan bowed his hand and saluted.

"Huh?" the man suddenly saw someone come up to speak, and immediately hurriedly wiped away his tears.

When he saw that Zhang Xuan was young but wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and waved his hand: "It turned out to be Master Xiucai, and the villain Wang Bin visited Master Xiucai!"

"Okay, okay, the strong man doesn't need to be polite, Xiaosheng Wei County Tongsheng Zhang Xuan. Today's autumn is high and cool, Xiaosheng has nothing to do, he comes out for an autumn trip alone, he doesn't want to get lost here, dare to ask where is this?" Zhang Xuan accosted with a reason.

"Don't dare, don't dare, if Zhang Xianggong doesn't dislike it, just call the villain Lao Wang. This is Daqing River Dahe Village, Weishui in front of it, along the official road of Weishui all the way to the north, you can reach the county seat. “

Hearing that Zhang Xuan claimed to be out for an autumn trip, Wang Bin didn't have any doubts, because it was not the first time he had encountered this situation, so he immediately packed up his mood and showed the way.

These talented masters will be officials in the future, and he will not dare to offend a small citizen. It is only these masters who can have this leisure and leisure, in the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, come out to do what "outing", yes, outing, this is the saying.

"Oh, so, thank you Wang. Zhang Xuan immediately hit the snake with a stick, then got to the point and asked, "By the way, Xiaosheng seemed to see Wang Zhuangshi crying here just now, but is there anything sad?"

"This ......" Wang Bin dodged and dodged a little, with a sneering expression. After all, it's not nice for a big man to be seen crying.

"Lao Wang, if you encounter difficulties, just say it, maybe Xiaosheng can help you a little! Even if you can't help, it's better for you to say it than for you to hold it in your heart alone, right?" Seeing Wang Bin's hesitation, Zhang Xuan hurriedly persuaded him.

"This ......" Wang Bin looked at Zhang Xuan, thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to tell the people in the village about his grievances, so he could only run here to hide and cry secretly. As for helping, Lao Wang didn't hold out much hope.

So he let go of his heart, turned around and lay on the tree and cried loudly, the cry shook the sky, and his voice was sad, and it went straight to the hearts of the people.

Zhang Xuan stood next to him, waiting quietly, not disturbing him, letting him vent.

After crying for a full quarter of an hour, Lao Wang slowed down, twitched and wiped away his tears, and when he cleaned up, he remembered that Zhang Xuan was waiting next to him, so he immediately bowed his hand and said: "The villain has no form, let the master laugh!"

"It's okay, I understand, the boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad! Can you tell me about it now?"

Zhang Xuan also cried, when Wan'er left, Zhang Xuan was sad and decadent for two days, if it wasn't for Bao'er's inadvertent words that woke up the dreamer, I don't know how long it would be decadent! After that transformation, Zhang Xuan began to really grow up.

"Wan'er, wait for me!"

"The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad...... Mao Cai Gong is so literate!" Lao Wang muttered praise, and then recalled with a sad expression: "This matter has to start from three years ago. That year, Mrs. Wang, who had always been a bad matchmaker in our village, suddenly became skinny one day, and the whole person was more than ten years old. ”

When he said the words "Mrs. Wang", Lao Wang was full of resentment and a little fear, and even lowered his voice.

"At first, we thought she had done too many evil things, and God punished her?"

However, a month later, everything changed, and she became the messenger of the great witch god, who could stun a strong man with a finger, and even more so to invite the river god to flood the village.

Everyone was frightened, so they worshipped the great witch god as the new river god, built a temple, and reshaped the golden body, and didn't talk about it. The first two years were fine, but the great witch god just asked us to sacrifice three animals every month, a cow, a sheep and a pig.

Although life is difficult, everyone gritted their teeth and survived.

However, last month, the evil god was not satisfied after swallowing three animals, and this month, he even asked us to worship a pair ......of boys and girls every month!

"What??," Zhang Xuan exclaimed in surprise. It is already very difficult to enter the three animals every month, especially the cattle, that is, Dahe Village is relatively large, and if it were changed to another village, it would have been dilapidated long ago.

Now this river god still has to inch in, and he wants to eat people?

No wonder when Po came back to report it, he said that there was a sense of sadness in Dahe Village! No matter who was chosen this month, but what about next month? What about next month? One day, his own child would also be chosen to be worshiped to the river god.

Zhang Xuan looked at the surface of the resentful Daqing River, and felt a burst of anger in his heart: "It's really bold, since you are looking for death yourself, I really can't leave you behind!"

"Woooooooooo......oo Pity my Niuniu and Huzi! Woowoo woo woo ......."

"Lao Wang, is it ......" Hearing Lao Wang's cry, Zhang Xuan faintly guessed the reason why Lao Wang secretly came out to cry alone.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woo woo woo ......" Hearing Zhang Xuan's inquiry, Lao Wang cried more and more sadly, and after a while, he choked up and continued: "Six years ago, thanks to the blessing of heaven, my mother-in-law gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for me, the mother and child are safe, I named the child, the male is called Huzi, and the female is called Niuniu. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Wang's face was happy, and then his face was full of resentment: "Four years ago, my little sister was widowed at home and guarded the way of women, but the unvirtuous Wang mother-in-law accepted the money from the rich man Li in Lijia Village, and insisted on saying goodbye to my little sister."

I think that the rich man Li was already sixty years old back then, older than my old father who passed away, how could I let my little sister make him a child.

The eldest brother is like a father, so I took my little sister to my house and protected it, but it cut off the wealth of the princess, and the bond was formed. ”

The old king paused and continued: "Later, the princess became the messenger of the great witch god, and our family fought greatly, and lived with caution every day.

However, I didn't expect that the princess has not forgotten the grievances of the year, and as soon as the big witch god passed down the word last month, the old witch directly chose my girl's Niu Niu and Huzi as sacrifices. Woowoo woo ......"

Speaking of this, Lao Wang's face was full of hideousness, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

However, when encountering such a thing, as an ordinary farmer, even if he resents and hates again, what use can he have? His own children will be sacrificed by blood, but as a father, he does not even dare to vent in it, so he can only hide outside the village by himself and cry, and he does not dare to raise his voice!

If you don't have the ability, you can only watch the tragedy happen.

"Think about yourself, if it weren't for your own strength to kill the land god, now, Mother Li would probably be killed by him!"

"And if you are a little stronger, how can you let Wan'er be forced to separate from you?"

This series of encounters also strengthened Zhang Xuan's determination to become stronger, only if he is strong enough, can he get everything he wants, and can he protect everything he cares about.

"Old Wang, since the river god exploits you like this, why don't you move?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Alas, it's hard to leave your homeland!" sighed.

Yes, it is hard to leave the homeland! This is not only emotional, but also realistic.

In ancient times, if there was no fame, it would take half a month to visit relatives before they could run down the road, which was more difficult than going abroad now. And if there is no way, if it is discovered by the government, it will be punished with one year of forced labor.

If the family moves, it is even more difficult, that is, those large families, if they leave their ancestral land, without the original connections and favors, they will also be greatly damaged, and it is not uncommon for them to even decline.

And for the common people, it is even worse, there is no relationship and money, and even the household registration can't be done, at that time, you will become a homeless person, and you can't even enter the county seat, let alone settle down, and it may be the best ending to sell yourself to a big family as a slave.

Not to mention Lao Wang, once he migrates, as a farmer, how can he live without land and grain?

Therefore, as long as it is not a famine or a plague, it is really impossible to live, and there will generally be no homeless.

"And now?" Zhang Xuan asked again.

"Now?woo woo woo ......" Thinking about the current situation, Lao Wang's tears that he had just stopped couldn't help but flow out again, "It's hard to leave, my son and daughter will become the blood food in the mouth of the evil god tonight, what else is there for my old king to be afraid of, that is, it is better to sell himself to a big family as a slave than to cut off his children and grandchildren!"

However, on the same day, the old witch brought evil magic weapons to my Huzi and Niuniu. As long as you take it off or leave the village a hundred paces away, you will immediately have a seizure and be bitten by the hundred ghosts......

Moreover, from that day on, the old witch sent four or five green skins (little thugs) to surround my house and keep an eye on me, and I would not leave for a moment. The people in the village were afraid of getting into trouble, so they all hid far away.

We, mortals, are alone, how can we resist! Woo woo woo ......" Speaking of sadness, Lao Wang cried again.

"Then didn't you report to the official?" Hearing Lao Wang's story, Zhang Xuan hated the princess even more.

"I have reported to the officials before, but after a few officials came, they turned around, said that everything was normal, and then left. Now, we can't even get out of the village, woo woo woo ......" Lao Wang's face was full of despair and helplessness.

Facing Lao Wang's desperate gaze, Zhang Xuan smiled mysteriously and comforted him: "Don't worry, Ji people have their own natural appearance, and Xiao Sheng also knows some face-to-face skills. Maybe there will be a turn for the better!"

After speaking, as soon as Zhang Xuan gave up his hand, he followed Lao Wang's instructions and went to Weishui.

Lao Wang looked at Zhang Xuan's back with tears in his eyes, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart, although he knew that this was probably just an extravagant hope.
