Chapter 98
Chapter 98
Time flies by like a horse.
Zhou Changyong has been in Shi Wujiu's small dilapidated house for two full years.
In the winter of the previous year, old man Ye brought a lot of snacks to try to abduct Shi Wujiu, which made Zhou Changyong worried for a while, for fear that this stupid boy would sell himself for a few bunches of candied haws.
Who knew, Shi Wujiu was surprisingly smart, and directly rejected Old Man Ye's words.
"I can live a good life by myself." Although Shi Wujiu is young, he also knows that other than his dead parents, other people in this world will definitely not treat him very well.Moreover, he was also afraid that this old man Ye was after their family property.Mother told him before she passed away, don't believe anyone who says to support him in the future, if you guard the house and land at home, you can barely survive.Otherwise, others will definitely kill him for his family's land.
"I'm not asking you to recognize me as a father, but to live together as a partner." Old man Ye has been in trouble for half his life, how can he not see a child's worry?He also has a lot of reasons waiting to tell Shi Wu Jiu, and he can also list various reasons to tell him that he has no idea about his family's land.But Shi Wujiu is just a five or six year old kid, no matter how much you tell him, he won't listen.
In the end, Old Man Ye could only go back depressed.
Of course, the Jade Widow is the same here, and she returned home without a feather, and she couldn't say that the teacher was not to blame.
"Miss Tianluo, are you there?" Shi Wujiu covered his mouth with his small hands, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, and whispered to the empty house, "Don't worry, I won't go with others. My mother Having said that, if Miss Tianluo is my wife, I will always be with her."
Fuck the snail girl!
Zhou Changyong glared at him, but unfortunately it had no effect at all.
In the past few years, Shi Wujiu has been trying to find Zhou Changyong's whereabouts.
I don't know what Shi Wujiu was thinking, he just believed that there must be a Tianluo girl.
It must be true that the snail girl saved him once and cooked for him later.It's just that the snail girl is probably shy, and she is still young, so she doesn't show up.
Zhou Changyong was only weak and unable to move, and he was not deaf, so he was forced to listen to a lot of teachers' words in the past two years, which made him almost want nothing.
For example, "Will the snail girl dislike me for being young? I don't seem to cook as well as her."
"Daddy used to give mother flowers, I might as well pick some flowers for her." So Shi Wujiu picked a few wild chrysanthemums, looking very pitiful, the petals were all scattered, I don't know it was a gift It's still going to the grave.
But in the case of Zhou Changyong, it may be more reasonable to say that he went to the grave.
"Hey, why hasn't the snail girl appeared?"
"I'm so hungry, it's too bad for me to cook by myself."
……
Fortunately, Shi Wujiu's rabbit business is very prosperous, and the villagers are willing to exchange their own things for rabbits with him.Occasionally, the aunts in the village would make clothes and mend quilts for him, and exchange them for a rabbit that was not too big or too small, and would send him some rabbit meat when they were ready.
Thus, Shi Wujiu, who was originally thin and small and looked difficult to support, finally turned into a big child after stumbling.
Zhou Changyong was also able to move around freely after a long rest.
A lot has happened in the village in recent years.
Jade Widow is still married to Xi Orion, but it is said that all the property in the family is in the hands of Jade Widow. Xi Orion is under strict control. She dare not keep any private money. She has to report when she leaves early and returns late. Jade Widow eats meat and drinks it. Tang, I haven't had a new dress for two or three years, but Jade Widow has added jewelry!Originally, some men who were jealous of Xi Orion were scared when they saw Widow Jade's strong desire to control. Fortunately, he was not the one who married her.
Old man Xu and old man Ye picked up a big stupid young man from outside as their son. It is said that this young man is now a good hand at work, which makes many people envy old man Ye's good luck. Such a stupid person is rare. .
From time to time, Xiaohuan and Dahai would send messages back. Aunt Taishan, who could not accept her son leaving home, now has nothing to say.
Looking at it roughly, life seems to be slowly returning to the right track.
But changes often happen in an instant.
It was an ordinary night. Xiao Huan and Hai Hai, who hadn’t been home for several years, suddenly ran home overnight, still wearing soldier’s armor, smelling of blood, almost all the dogs in the village barked Get up, the noisy people will not be at peace.
Shi Wu Jiu also failed to fall asleep.
Fearing that there would be thieves, the people in the village came out one by one holding torches, and they were relieved when they saw Xiaohuan and Dahai.
Old man Ye was even more angry, "Why are you two? What if we treat you as thieves and beat you up?"
"Xiao Huan, you're back!" Aunt Taishan had tears in her eyes, she rushed forward to check if her son was okay, "You're black and thin."
"Let's go in and say, put out the fire!" Da Hai was much calmer, and immediately shouted, "Everyone come here, this matter is very important!"
The villagers were a little puzzled, but Xiao Huan and Da Hai grew up under the watchful eye of everyone, so maybe there was something wrong with rushing back in such a hurry.
"What have you two been doing these past few years? Talk to each other!" the villagers asked.
"Dahai, tell me, I'll drink some water." Xiaohuan was so concerned by Aunt Taishan that she couldn't speak normally, so she could only look at her little friend.
Dahai cleared his throat, and then slowly explained the matter.
Zhou Changyong was next to Shi Wujiu, listening carefully in the corner.
It turned out that Xiaohuan and Dahai had left the village and wanted to find a job outside, but they were illiterate and thin, so naturally they couldn't find any decent jobs, and they could only barely eat by doing odd jobs occasionally.
In the end, the two of them had no choice but to enter the barracks, and became fire fighters. They could save some money by saving their monthly military pay.
Originally, their country didn't have any battles to fight, so they ate and drank and practiced in the barracks every day, but they made their bodies stronger.Xiao Huan and Hai Hai gradually got used to this kind of life, and the two of them were clever, so they lived like ducks in water in the barracks.
But who knows, suddenly one day their general said that he would take them and the national teacher to kill demons and demons.
They haven't even killed anyone, what kind of monsters are they killing? Isn't this a joke?Don't look at the general who said a lot of good things like rewards after slaying demons and demons, Xiaohuan and Dahai are not the kind of people who take their lives to make fun of.
It's a pity that the military regulations are strict, so they can only follow.
This monster is really powerful, they just arrived at the foot of a mountain, almost half of their companions died, and after that, ferocious beasts appeared and killed their brothers from time to time, everyone was trembling.
"The place where we camped suddenly became foggy, and the fog was poisonous, and another group of people died." Dahai's sad face did not seem to be fake, "At this time, our general can't hold on any longer, and wants to retreat, but The national teacher said he has a way."
"What way?" The villagers listened with gusto and hurriedly asked. They had never been out of the village, so naturally they didn't know what the outside world was like.But listening to the experience of Xiao Huan and Da Hai, it seems that they have experienced it too.
Zhou Changyong faintly felt a little strange, it seemed that this was not the reaction that ordinary villagers should have.Ordinary villagers would be terrified when they heard about armies, monsters, and killing people.
Of course, it may also be because the people in the village have too little knowledge, they don't know the meaning of Xiaohuan and Dahai's words at all, and they have the right to be storytellers.
"That's why Xiaohuan and I ran back overnight." Dahai finally got to the point, glanced at the villagers, and said slowly, "The national teacher said that we should be sacrificed to pray for the help of the gods to deal with the demons. Those soldiers seemed to be crazy, they were happy as sacrifices, and committed suicide. The blood on me and Xiaohuan belonged to them. We felt something was wrong, so we ran back overnight. "
Xiao Huan also nodded at the side, looking quite surprised, "Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we wouldn't be able to come back." Xiao Huan also echoed beside him.
"Strange, according to what you said, why are you all fine?" Old man Xu asked after being silent for a while, "Listen to what you said, your partners seem to have been enchanted."
"Oh my God, how did you encounter so many dangers outside? Don't go out soon." Aunt Taishan said distressedly.
"Maybe it's because Brother Da Da and I didn't eat much food in the military camp." Xiao Huan hesitated for a while and said, "The two of us cook, and sometimes we steal some food and resell it for some rice noodle pancakes or barracks. Order eggs or something. The food in the barracks is obviously poor, but many people think it is very delicious, Brother Da Da and I really couldn't eat it, so we didn't continue to eat."
Sounds like a blessing in disguise.
Zhou Changyong was listening and felt that there should be a problem with the food in the army.Otherwise, people are afraid of death, how could everyone commit suicide collectively with the order of the national teacher?
As for ghosts and ghosts, Zhou Changyong didn't doubt it at all.
Isn't he just a ghost?It still has a little mana.
"Our military camp is not far from our village. After we found out, Xiao Huan and I kept it secret. We escaped because of the chaos in the military camp today. But the national teacher said that the sacrifices were not enough, and I am afraid that we will attack the surrounding villages. Me and Xiao Huan thought about it, and ran back to report the news, let's run away, it's very dangerous here."
"Yeah, mother, let's get out of here quickly. I think the national teacher is also scary, he is scarier than demons, let's run away quickly." Xiao Huan said in a hurry.
Aunt Taishan couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she could only look at other people in the village.
"Where can we escape, old and young?" Old Man Ye sneered, "It's hard to leave our homeland. If we run away, how will we survive in other places?"
"This..." Both Xiaohuan and Dahai were speechless.
"Xiaohuan, Dahai, maybe you are worrying too much. Our village is so remote and there are few people, even if we are looking for sacrifices, we will not look for us."
"No, you must run." Xiao Huan came back to her senses, "Mom, you must leave here with me!"
"In my opinion, it's better to go up the mountain." Widow Jade said after thinking for a while, "The mountain in our village is very big, and there are many roads, just find a cave to hide and spend this year. We will come out after the national teacher and the others leave. "
"Hey, that's a good idea!"
"Xi Orion, you go up to the mountains every day to hunt, so you must be very familiar with the roads on the mountains."
"I... I only hunt at the foot of the mountain. There is no road on the top of the mountain, and I haven't been there much." Xi Orion waved his hands repeatedly, "But I will work hard."
"Then it's settled first, everyone pack up your things quickly and prepare to go up the mountain."
"Let's go, let's go back quickly."
The people in the village are quick to move. Once it is confirmed, some people don't want to leave, so they quickly go back and move.
Zhou Changyong blinked, and felt that the people in this village were not worthless, at least at this critical moment, they were surprisingly decisive.
On the contrary, Shi Wujiu was a little downcast, as if he was not very happy.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Changyong immediately understood everything.
He must be thinking about his snail girl again, afraid that if he left, the snail girl would not be able to find him.
What did Shi Wujiu's parents tell him?Be so convinced of a non-existent story character?
"There's nothing to clean up." Shi Wujiu rummaged through the house depressed, got some clothes, tied the rabbits together, and prepared to carry them up the mountain together.
"Why don't I leave?" Shi Wujiu touched his rice jar, thinking that he would not be found if he hid in it.
Zhou Changyong picked up the rice spoon and slammed Shi Wujiu on the head, "Do you want to die if you don't leave? I still want to leave if you don't leave."
In case that national teacher really has magic power, what should we do if we want to eliminate him as a ghost?
Shi Wujiu covered the back of his head, his eyes lit up when he saw the rice spoon rolled down on the ground.
"Miss Tianluo, you finally came out."
The author has something to say: Shi Wujiu: Girls will definitely like these white chrysanthemums and snails.
Zhou Changyong: Are you sending flowers or going to the grave?
Author: You are already a ghost, it is right to send chrysanthemums!
