Chapter 173: Shangguan Junhou
ps: New January, don't forget to throw flowers, the sky is looking forward to it!!!
Along the way, there is a dry outside the county, which becomes dry and cracked until the soil collapses, which is definitely a great spectacle.
It's just that in Chen Yu's heart, he was very annoyed and calmed down, thinking about it like this, is this the problem, there is no intention to participate in the Journey to the West, no, it is impossible, this is Haotian personally involved.
I thought about it a lot, looking at the changes in the front and back of the earth, it was naturally heartbreaking, the people had nowhere to plant, it was strange if they didn't die, it didn't rain for more than two years, and even the rivers were dried up and dried up, where can people live, don't escape, are they waiting for death?
Thinking of this, on the side of his figure, a Taoist robe appeared on his body, turning into a Taoist priest, carrying a sword, riding a horse and slowly walking towards the county seat, full of the dress of a Taoist priest.
As soon as I entered the small village outside the county town, I saw countless fields shattered, and there was no way to make a living, especially some old people were still looking for things in the fields, and they couldn't even care about sweating despite the fierceness of the sun, just wanting to dig up something to eat, and that kind of persistence was deplorable.
As soon as he got off the horse, he wanted to go over and ask, but he didn't want to stay for a long time, because of the excessive sweat loss, the old man fell to the ground 'snapped', which made Chen Yu startled, and quickly ran over, hugged the old man, and then pinch the acupoint of the person, and then hurriedly took out a water bag, carefully put it on the old man's mouth, and fed him a little bit.
The old man finally came to his senses, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him, his consciousness was not very clear.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, Dao Chief, thank you, if it weren't for you, the life of the old man would be gone, pity my grandson who is a few years old. The old man cried bitterly as he spoke, the pain in his heart, who knows, the bitterness in his heart, who can understand the bitterness in his heart, the family has become like this.
Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Old man, don't worry, let's talk slowly if we have something, come, slow down, eat something first." ”
The old man looked at the wheat cake in his hand, and he was really reluctant to eat it, and he could see that he wanted to eat it for his grandson.
"Old man, don't wait to eat, you see that there is still a poor road here, it is indispensable, eat, only after eating can you have the strength to walk." Chen Yu also gestured to him, and looked at the bag in his hand There were a lot of wheat cakes, so that he could feel at ease.
Seeing this, the old man also knew that he had something to eat, so he was not embarrassed, and when he ate carefully, his eyes became red.
"Old man, eat slowly, come and drink saliva, let's not rush, eat slowly. Seeing the old man like this, Chen Yu felt inexplicable grief in his heart, how could the superior know the suffering of the people at dawn, only know his ambition and let the people suffer.
"Old man, let's go back first, it's too hot here, is your house far from here?"
"It's not far, it's not far, it's just ahead, yes, the Taoist chief is right, it's not good here, let's go back and talk about it." The old man remembered that this was indeed not a place to talk, that is, it was dry and hot, so he would go home first.
Chen Yu carefully supported the old man while leading the horse, and when he came to the old man's home, he saw a six or seven-year-old child.
"Come, Maomao, this is delicious, eat slowly, drink saliva, thank you quickly. The old man said, pulling the child.
Mao Mao held the wheat cake in his hand, looked at Chen Yu, and said fearfully: "Thank you, Dao Chief." After saying that, he hid behind the old man.
The old man was very embarrassed and said, "Excuse me, the child is more afraid of life, I'm sorry." ”
"It's nothing, it's nothing, by the way, old man, are you two in this house?"
"No, there are Maomao's parents, it's just two years ago, I went to the city to buy things, and I never came back. ”
Chen Yu's heart moved, and then he said: "Then the changes here, the county marquis doesn't care?"
"The county marquis is a county marquis, all day long let people do the law, begging the heavens to rain, but has not been able to get the heaven's Lingling, the rain has not fallen, but the county marquis is not discouraged at all, basically on time to ask for rain, even with the Taoist monks have gone a lot, useless, the field has become like this, it is really providence. ”
"Really?" Chen Yu seemed to have some words of disbelief.
"The marquis is really a good official, very incorruptible, caring for the people, and it is God's will not rain to do anything. ”
Hearing that the old man is still very protective of this county, Chen Yu knows it in his heart, but he is too passive to only use the heavenly grant, can't he use the water for it, or is it blocked by those gods and Buddhas, so it is possible, think about it for this trip to the west, they have prepared a lot of time, how can they not do this step, this is the result of not looking at the people in their eyes.
"Old man, this is some food, you eat first, there is water, although it is not much, but it should be able to pass a few days, I believe that soon, the rain will fall, and then you can also reunite as a family, take good care of yourself." Chen Yu knew what he wanted to know, so he didn't wait, and said goodbye, the old man couldn't hold back, so he could only watch him leave.
Entering the county town, Chen Yu felt a burst of depressed breath, the vitality was obviously extremely dull, one by one shrugged his head, there was no hope, there was no expectation at all, this kind of county town, it was really sad.
"The county marquis began to ask for rain again, and at the same time to recruit talents, I hope that everyone who has real skills can rain down. A soldier posted a list of words, and then shouted weakly, and then he didn't care if others understood it.
After Chen Yu saw it, he didn't speak, he stepped forward directly to unveil the list, and said to the head of the soldiers: "Let's go, let Poor Dao see if your county marquis is a good official, if he is a good official, Poor Dao will give him a ganlin, if not, Poor Dao can't do anything." ”
The head of the soldier saw that this person seemed to be really dressed as a Taoist priest, he was too young, but he had the ability to not be old, which was agreed, especially this kind of cultivator, even more so, who knew their exact age, maybe they were still old and young, so he immediately said respectfully: "Daoist, please here, go to see the county marquis, please here." ”
And when the people on the road saw this scene, they seemed to have a glimmer of hope in their eyes, hoping that this day would not disappear.
Chen Yu naturally saw it in his eyes, and said that it was actually not bad, if it was one person's fault, then it would be enough to punish one person, how could it affect the dawn people of the entire county, and he was also holding his breath in his heart, and he would see this county marquis first.
Soon arrived at the county marquis's mansion, and saw someone coming out, and stepped forward with a hopeful expression and said: "I don't know what to call it, my Fengxian County has not rained for more than two years, and the people are dying of thirst, and the earth is also dry and broken." ”
"Don't dare, poor Dao Dao Dao Yu, I don't know what to call the county marquis?"
"Oh, look at my surname, in the lower compound surname Shangguan, a single name and a straight character, it is the marquis of Fengxian County, and I have seen the Taoist. ”
"Shangguan Junhou, although Poor Dao has the ability to make Ganlin fall here, but there must also be conditions, but you have to think about whether you have done anything wrong, whether you have offended God, so that God will not take an inch of raindrops, Poor Dao does not want to do things for a corrupt official, I hope that the county marquis can think clearly, think about it before and after, where is wrong?"
After Chen Yu finished speaking, he walked into the county mansion by himself, leaving the county marquis alone and thinking, did he really offend the heavens, so that the heavens would not drop an inch of rain, the more he seemed to be the more scared, if he really offended the heavens, then he was not a sinner in Fengxian County.
"My lord, the Taoist has already entered. The soldier cautiously reminded.
When Shangguan Zheng heard this, he woke up suddenly, and immediately let the soldier go back, and he came to the hall with a heavy heart, seeing that there was no tea, and hurriedly asked people to prepare tea, but he couldn't neglect the guests.
"Dao Chief, Xiaguan really has nothing to do, how can he offend the heavens?" Shangguan Zheng seemed to lack confidence.
"yes, there's nothing the poor can do about it. Chen Yu was full of an unusually flat tone, it seemed that he had nothing to do with him at all, whether he was dead or alive was up to him, but he didn't want to worry about it, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
Shangguan Zheng took a look, this is worth it, although I don't know if he has the ability, but with such a demeanor, I am afraid that he really has the ability, and he also feels a faint disappointment, could it be that his own thing has been known to him, impossible?
"Junhou, be a man and do things, you must be upright, you can change if you are wrong, but once you know that you are wrong, you don't change it, and you don't change it when you give the opportunity, do you say that such officials are joking with the surnames of the people, and this qualification to be an official, what did you think before you didn't become an official, how did you become an official, when it was your turn, it changed, are you worthy of your heart?"
Shangguan Zheng was stunned suddenly, yes, when he was not an official before, or when he was not so old, he didn't want to do things for the people, but now because of this matter, why did he let himself be in vain and let his ambition be destroyed, no, I was unwilling, I could think of the child who didn't make it, and my heart was suddenly weak, and my face was full of bitterness.
"Why do you have something to say now, if you don't, Poor Dao will go first. Chen Yu glanced at it and said bluntly.
"Dao Chief, please stay, it's the fault of the lower officials, the fault of the lower officials. Shangguan Zheng's heart was suddenly attacked repeatedly, and finally he couldn't stand the torment in his heart, and he hated himself for being so weak all these years, and he was very unwilling.
Chen Yu then listened to him tell him about the matter, and he thought that this was the case, so that on the day of the sacrifice, he overturned the offering table, and was caught by the Jade Emperor, which made this Fengxian County dry for more than two years. Looking at the county marquis with a bitter face, he was helpless, as a father, how could he not be sad when he saw his son behaving like this, pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
"Hey, there is nothing to say as a father to do your head, and you are too doting and indulgent, so it will end up like this. ”
