At 13 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zi'an laid out the mat, turned the fan to the first level of breeze, and then took off the flip-flops on his feet and lay down comfortably.

Mosquito coils are green and smoky, which is sandalwood scented, and mosquito repellent is also calming.

He is a son-in-law, and a son-in-law in the countryside.

But even if he is a son-in-law in the countryside, life must have a sense of ritual.

His philosophy of life is very simple, just be at peace with what happens, and be content and happy.

A minute later, Li Zi'an's nostrils were evenly snoring, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, obviously in a dream.

In the dream, he turned into a fish, squatting motionless in the water, watching an aquatic plant flutter in front of him.

Knock knock!

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Li Zi'an heard it, but his reaction was not to get up and open the door, but to turn over and turn his back to the door.

"Zi'an, are you still sleeping at two o'clock?"

It was the voice of his wife's grandmother, Lin Shengnan.

His wife Yu Meilin has been working outside for many years, and she comes back to live one day on Lin Shengnan's birthday every year, so he and Lin Shengnan live in the Yu family's ancestral house in this crescent village.

"Zi'an, the water in the pond is broken, and the fish will die if there is no live water on this hot day, you hurry up and see what is going on. Lin Shengnan urged.

Li Zi'an opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, and then answered: "Oh, it's here." ”

He got up from the mat, then put on his flip-flops and opened the door.

There was a white-haired old woman standing at the door, holding a dragon-headed cane in her hand, looking like an old dragon bell, but there was a strong momentum between her eyebrows.

This old woman is Lin Shengnan.

Li Zi'an has been in the Yu family for four years, and he has met Yu Meilin five times in total, married once, and once a year on Lin Sheng's boys' day, he has not even touched his hands.

Yu Meilin will give Lin Shengnan a sum of money every year to maintain the family's expenses. Li Zi'an once offered to go to work with her, but she didn't let him, just let him grow some vegetables and grains at home and eat at home, the most important thing is to take care of her grandmother.

But because of this, he became a man who eats soft rice in the eyes of the villagers.

He felt that he was disgraced to his comrades who ate soft rice.

Others eat soft rice, live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, wear gold and silver, eat and drink well, but he, who eats soft rice, still has to farm land and vegetables, and serve an old lady.

But he doesn't care, he just needs to live freely.

Looking at each other, Lin Shengnan began to count after two seconds: "Can you have a little bit of fun? You know how to sleep and read some useless books in a day, don't you want to have your own career?"

Li Zi'an delayed for two seconds before he said, "What career?"

Lin Shengnan choked on this sentence and rolled his eyes.

Li Zi'an's heart was filled with a trace of bitterness.

Yu Meilin threw this old woman to him, if he went out to find a job or start a business, who would take care of her?

In the past four years, he has read all those books that are useful, English, cooking, planting, carpentry, carving, etc., but he has no chance to play in this mountain village every day.

"Is the water in the pond out of the water?" Li Zi'an felt that he needed to confirm.

Lin Shengnan waved his hand impatiently: "Forget it, what career will I talk to you about, play the piano to the cow, you go and see what is going on in the pond, if my fish die, I will settle accounts with you." ”

Li Zi'an yawned and walked to the backyard.

Lin Shengnan looked at Li Zi'an's slender back and sighed: "What's the use of being good-looking, I really shouldn't have married Meilin to this kid for those bad things in the family......"

Li Zi'an heard this, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.

But he agrees with the fact that he is good-looking.

Presumably Yu Meilin fell in love with him for this reason.

The nickname of Wu Yanzu of Crescent Village was not obtained for nothing, it was strength.

The pond is in the back garden, and some koi fish are raised, and Lin Shengnan usually likes to stay in the pavilion on the edge of the pond to feed those fish.

Sure enough, the pond was cut off.

Li Zi'an took a hoe and went out the back door and walked along the path by the stream.

The path winds from the head of the village to the end of the village.

Crescent Village is located in the northwest of Shudi, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a valley in the middle is like a crescent moon, hence the name.

The source of the creek is on the tip of the crescent moon, and it is said that Zhang Feijun came here, and the soldiers were tired and had no water to make food, so he shot a spring with a bow and an arrow. Later generations called the spring water Zhang Feiquan, and later I don't know who changed the name to the crescent spring, and the people in the village called Zhang Feiquan and the crescent spring, but there was no unity.

The spring flows all year round, and this is the first time that the flow has been stopped.

Under a big banyan tree, several women sat under the tree to enjoy the shade, some holding fans to fan the wind, and some knocking melon seeds. Those who wear skirts do not close their legs, and they also fan the inside of their skirts. Don't pick up the melon seeds, and spit out the shells of the melon seeds.

Several women muttered.

"Last night, the dead ghost of my family came to untie my trouser belt, and the old lady kicked him off the bed with a kick, and the old lady didn't buy a lipstick for fifty yuan, and she wanted to make trouble, and she wanted to be beautiful. ”

"My dead guy is angry, yesterday played two yuan mahjong stunned lost more than 200, do you say moldy or not? Dog day lost all the money for eating meat this month, he still wants to eat meat, and the old lady who eats shit will not give him a hot mouthful. ”

A woman saw Li Zi'an who was walking this way, and said in a low voice: "Isn't that Li Zi'an, it's rare to see him come out." ”

"The Yu family's soft rice is full, what is he doing when he comes out?"

"I heard that four years ago, he went to the Yu family to become a son-in-law in order to raise money for his mother's treatment, but unfortunately his mother-in-law was a nemesis, and his mother left not long after he got married. ”

"Do you know where the Yu family's money came from, I heard that his daughter-in-law made money by selling it outside, saying that she was working part-time, and deceiving ghosts. ”

"You say that this Li Zi'an is handsome, it's not good to find a daughter-in-law, but to find a young lady, if his parents know about it, I'm afraid they will be so angry that they will vomit blood. ”

"People don't care about the green on their heads, you see how nourishing they are. ”

"What's a little green, it's all artemisia field. ”

"If you eat soft rice, you can find a young lady, and you can match it well. ”

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Li Zi'an approached, and several women shrewdly closed their mouths.

"Zi'an, what are you going to do?" a woman greeted Li Zi'an.

Li Zi'an glanced at the women, the woman who talked to him was called Ma Xiaorong, who was the mother-in-law of Chen Gang in the village, who was very cheap, and loved to make fun of people's rights and wrongs on weekdays. Most of the gossip circulating in the village came from the mouth of this mother-in-law, who hated her, and when he saw her fake greeting, he pretended not to hear and continued on his way.

That Ma Xiaorong felt offended, and before Li Zi'an walked away, she said in a weird manner: "If my wife sells meat outside to make money, I will hit the wall and die, and I am embarrassed to come out and be embarrassed." ”

Several of the women burst out laughing.

Li Zi'an's expression became cold.

Ma Xiaorong added another sentence: "Everyone in the village knows that the mother-in-law surnamed Yu sells outside, and what do you say about part-time work, but she is a ghost, and she laughs to death." ”

Li Zi'an turned around suddenly, strode over, and said in a cold voice: "What do you say, you say it again!"

Ma Xiaorong crossed her waist with one hand, pointed at Li Zi'an with the other, and said menacingly: "I said that what if you sell your mother-in-law of a melon baby, the old lady doesn't believe it, you still dare to beat the old lady, your baby dares to touch the old lady, my man will kill you!"

As soon as her words fell, Li Zi'an slapped her fiercely.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, five finger prints instantly appeared on half of Ma Xiaorong's cheeks, she subconsciously covered her cheeks that were pumped, and said angrily: "You, you dare to beat the old lady!"

Li Zi'an slapped Ma Xiaorong on the other cheek with his backhand.

Ma Xiaorong was stunned, her mouth opened wide but she couldn't speak.

In this crescent village, she relied on her man Chen Gang to be a splasher, and he had always walked sideways, only she bullied people, who dared to bully her? But now, a scumbag who eats soft rice that she looks down on actually dares to slap her in public, and it is only twice!

Li Zi'an's eyes had a glimmer of light: "I warn you, if I hear you play with my wife's rights and wrongs again in the future, I will beat you!"

These women said that he could bear it if he ate soft rice, but when he said that his wife sold it, he couldn't bear it and wouldn't bear it, even if he broke the bloodstream, he would take revenge.

If you dare to say it, I will dare to fight, no matter who you are!

"The old lady is fighting with you!" Ma Xiaorong's emotions suddenly exploded, and she reached out to grab Li Zi'an's hair.

Li Zi'an kicked Ma Xiaorong's lower abdomen.

Ma Xiaorong was kicked to the ground, her lower abdomen cramped, and she fell to the ground and curled up into a shrimp.

"Ouch, we're all folks, as for you?" an older woman came to persuade him.

"Zi'an, you apologize to your sister Ma quickly. A woman said.

Li Zi'an turned around and left, not even bothering to say a word.

The book says that women are made of water, but these women are made of water, and the smell is stinking.

"If you eat soft rice, you wait for the old lady, the old lady and the man are not vegetarians!" Ma Xiaorong shouted in the back.

Li Zi'an didn't bother to pay attention to her, he left the path, climbed up the hillside, and came to the source of the stream.

The source of the brook was a pool under a cliff, and the pool was full of water, but there was no spring in the spring, and it was probably blocked by something.

Li Zi'an took a closer look, but the spring was in the middle of the pool, separated by almost two meters of water, so he couldn't see clearly. He took off his shorts and undershirt and went into the water, wading through the spring. When he got to the place near the spring, he plunged into the water and dived into the spring, and when he got to the spring, he finally saw clearly what was blocked in the spring.

The thing was round and patina, and it looked like a bronze object, with some symbols and patterns on it, but it was not clear.

"How can there be such a thing in the spring?" Li Zi'an's heart was full of curiosity, and he reached out to pick out the thing that was blocked in the spring.

The thing was stuck, he couldn't get it out after a few attempts, his fingers were worn out after a few attempts, the scarlet blood stained the object, and the clear spring water was bloodshot.

Li Zi'an held his breath to the end, but just as he was about to return to the water to take a breath, the bronze objects in the spring suddenly trembled, and those unclear symbols and patterns instantly burst out with a green and faint light. What's even more bizarre is that at that moment, all the blood floating in the water was sucked into the bronze object.

There is also Li Zi'an's blood, the blood in the wound is like it came out of a water gun!

Lack of oxygen and blood loss, Li Zi suddenly became nervous, and he propped his feet on the rocks at the bottom of the pool, struggling to float upward. But it was he who supported it, and the bronze object also left the spring with him, and the blocked spring water gushed out at once, adding a bit of buoyancy to him.

Crash!

Li Zi'an came out of the water and inhaled heavily, but he still couldn't stand the dizziness, he swam a few times in a panic, climbed ashore, and only after relieving his breath did he check what he had taken out.

It was a small incense burner, not bronze, but a bronze-colored jade incense burner, a little smaller than his fist.

How did this stuff end up in the fountain?

Before Li Zi'an could figure out this question, a puff of green smoke suddenly came out of the incense burner, and he didn't go anywhere, but came straight to his nostrils. He subconsciously held his breath, but he couldn't stop the puff of green smoke from penetrating his nostrils.

When the green smoke entered his body, Li Zi'an stiffened at first, and then his legs fell limply on the grass next to Tan.

Li Zi'an felt that he had been poisoned by inhaling poisonous smoke, and he panicked in his heart, struggling to get up, but his limbs had no strength at all, and his consciousness became more and more chaotic.

In a daze, an old man with a white beard appeared in front of him and spoke to him.

"The old man Ji Da, the Western Zhou Dynasty Fangshi, because of his laziness all his life, did not pass on a body of peerless learning to future generations, the limit is approaching, I regret it very much, so I will seal what I have learned in this lazy portable furnace, leaving it for the destined person. Thou hast awakened this furnace with blood, which is the choice of the furnace spirit, and it is also fate with me, and I will teach you a unique ......"

What's going on?

Li Zi'an was stunned.

But this matter was beyond his control, and in the narration of the old man who claimed to be Ji Da, many symbols and patterns appeared in his mind, as well as some obscure and strange things.

His mind grew more and more groggy until he lost consciousness.
