The scholar said: "Chief, I think this matter still needs to be cautious, we had better ......."

Before the scholar could finish speaking, he heard a shout outside the courtyard, "Chief, chief, something is wrong." ”

Everyone knew him, knew that he was a long-term worker in the chief's family, and that he was a good farmer, and that this person had a characteristic, he was honest and never told lies.

"Don't you see that I'm here for a discussion?"

The long worker's face was bloodless, his face was panicked, he didn't hear the chief's scolding at all, he pointed behind him with his own care, "The chief of the li, there are monsters! There are monsters!!"

Everyone was shocked, and they all stood up in astonishment. The shrewd man was the first to react, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, slow down, what's going on?"

Changgong still muttered, "There are monsters!

Li Chang was in a hurry, took a few steps forward, and slapped Changgong in the face.

Changgong's face ached, but he finally got rid of his panic and came to his senses, he covered his cheeks and told what had happened.

The chief of the house raised a flock of sheep, and someone used to go out to herd the sheep every day, but since someone fled here and stole a few sheep, the chief did not let people go, but let people go outside every day to cut the grass and pull it back to feed the sheep.

This long-term worker was in charge of this matter, and he used to put on the car and go to the bank of the Jun River to mow the grass, and when he arrived at the Jun River, he showed an abnormality, and in the corn field by the river, there were many green seedlings lodging, as if something had crushed from the corn field.

At first, Changgong didn't care and continued to mow grass by the river.

When he came to a grass nest more than half a man deep, he suddenly saw a big snake in the grass nest, the thickness of a bucket, two or three zhang long, coiled together, as if it were a small mountain.

Changgong was so frightened that he turned around and ran back.

When the lieutenant chief and the others heard this, they were all taken aback, their ancestors lived by the Jun River, and they had never heard of such a big snake in the Jun River. Could this be the river demon that the old way says?

Li Chang's face turned white when he sat on the chair, he gathered so many people together, and deep down he still had a trace of suspicion about the old way, but now, his own long-term worker personally confirmed that there was really a big snake in the Jun River, how could he not be afraid?

He is the lieutenant chief, and he has the responsibility to protect the villagers of his village, even if he puts aside his own duties, his ancestors have lived here for generations, and there are a lot of wives and children at home.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the snake demon doesn't eat people, according to the old Tao, if you stay in the river for a long time, the drought that spreads in the neighboring state capitals will spread to them. When the time comes, they will have to abandon their homes and businesses to flee the famine.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think I'll discuss it anymore, let's hurry up and prepare the boys and girls. An elderly villager said.

The scholar said: "I think I still want to confirm whether what Changgong said is true or false? ”

The shrewd man took a sip and said, "Xiucai, don't you know that there is a river demon by the river?

The lieutenant swallowed with difficulty and said, "We're about to have a big disaster, so don't make any noise." Let's follow what the villager said, hurry up and discuss how to prepare the boys and girls as much as possible, and get rid of the river demon. ”

Everyone fell silent again, the so-called array to eliminate demons, they don't understand, but they have heard of the ritual of sacrificing to the river god, and some have even experienced it. Regardless of the course of the ritual, there is only one outcome, and the child who is chosen as a sacrifice ends up with only a dead end.

If Lao Dao just wants one or two boys and girls, Junbao Town gritted his teeth and could still make it up. But as soon as Lao Dao opened his mouth, there were seventy-nine or sixty-three boys and girls, and the military fort town was full of more than 1,500 people, which was tantamount to sweeping away the boys and girls in the town, and cutting off the roots of the villagers. Even if he is the lieutenant chief, he does not dare to go against the whole town.

Seeing that everyone refused to speak, Li Chang said: "I know everyone has concerns, but for the sake of the future of our Junbao Town, there are some things that we still have to do. The immortal chief only gave us three days, and after three days, he couldn't see anyone, he was leaving, and when the time came, we wanted to invite people, but we didn't know where to find someone.

Besides, things may not be as strict as we think, but the immortal chief promised that after he finished casting the spell, he would choose the best ones from the sixty-three boys and girls and accept them as apprentices. Being able to become an immortal is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

The scholar rolled his eyes and said, "Chief, everyone, I have an idea. Our fort town has been surrounded by people fleeing the famine, and some of them still have children, so we might as well gather these children and see if we can get together sixty-three boys and girls. ”

The lieutenant was surprised and said, "Is this okay?"

The scholar snorted and said, "These deserters gather around our town, and if they want to be protected by us, they always have to make some contribution. ”

The lieutenant chief groaned, and did not immediately agree with the scholar's Jianyi, "Everyone, there are more and more desert escapees gathered around our town, and if they are not careful, they will become mobs, and with the men and women of our town, old and young, more than 1,500 people, the suppression cannot be suppressed." We can't afford to be cautious!"

The shrewd man said, "It's not unreasonable for the chief to be worried. However, Xiucai's method can still be implemented, we can buy their children from these deserters in the name of purchasing slaves, and then give them to the immortal chief for him to use in the array. ”

The lieutenant nodded, "That's a solution." But the money to buy these boys and girls ......"

"What money? buy a boy or a girl, and give half a bag of bran to their relatives, and that's it. The shrewd man sneered.

With a population of just over 1,000, Junbao Town is not a big town, but although the sparrows are small, they are well-equipped, with inns, taverns, and teahouses. But after all, this is a small place, there is no place for leather clothing, and there is no one to collect leather goods.

Li Wenjun went to the pawnshop first to take a look, the other party's bid was very low, Li Wenjun rolled up the wolf skin, and the pawnshop's triangular eyes grabbed the wolf skin, and was about to threaten Li Wenjun a few words, so that Li Wenjun could sell the wolf skin to him at a low price.

Li Wenjun took the opportunity to pull out the firewood knife on his waist, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he glared at Chaofeng, "I killed this wolf, I can kill wolves, and I can kill people." ”

Chao Feng's heart trembled, although he wanted to be greedy for this wolf skin, but he valued his own life more. He has a family, a business, and a comfortable life, so there is no need to offend Li Wenjun to death for the sake of a wolf skin.

Chao Bong grimaced and let go of his hand.

Chao Feng didn't know Li Wenjun, but he could see that Li Wenjun was very likely to be one of the escapees, and now thousands of refugees were gathered outside Junbao Town, this is a powder keg, a spark, it may lead to a riot of the victims, when the time comes, not to mention whether his comfortable life can be sustained, and even whether his family's life can be saved, it is difficult to say.

Chaofeng didn't want to lose the one he owned, so he naturally didn't want to do that Mars, so he also gave up the idea of settling accounts with Li Wenjun afterwards.

Of course, if you can do a court in a place like a pawnshop, your heart will definitely not be related to "kindness", if you can find an opportunity to rectify Li Wenjun, and it will not implicate him, the court will definitely not give up the opportunity.

Li Wenjun took the opportunity to roll up the wolf skin and left the pawnshop. He inquired about it, and the only place in the town of Junbao that could buy wolf skins was the grocery store at the end of the street, and he walked towards the grocery store with wolf skins in his pocket.

Before he could reach the end of the street, Li Wenjun heard a clanging sound, and when he walked a few steps further, he saw a very simple blacksmith shop made of branches and thatch on the side of the road, with a hoe hanging at the door as a sign.

Li Wenjun's heart moved, and he remembered the process of killing the wolf, if there was a weapon in his hand, maybe he would not have won so difficult and dangerous. Now, at this time, there are fugitives everywhere, and the shape is very chaotic, which makes it even more necessary for him to have the means to defend himself.

Thinking of this, Li Wenjun walked into the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith was a sturdy man in his forties, shirtless, he was mending a hoe for people at this moment, he raised his head and glanced at Li Wenjun, and said coldly: "I don't accept apprentices here." ”

Li Wenjun smiled, "I'm here to buy something." ”

When the blacksmith heard this, he immediately smiled, his business here was relatively deserted, that is, the villagers came to him to repair a hoe,
