The villagers said it was said by chance that they would soon gather at Hongxuan. Liu Yunxiang looked over and found that they were all old people, none of them young and none of them children.

While Hongxuan was doing this, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin to sneak away. Changhe Village was not big and there were not many houses. The two of them searched one by one, and found the other from one end of Changjie. When they met for the last time, they both shook their heads.

"Girl, is Mr. Xue not here?" Zi Jin asked, scratching the back of his head.

Liu Yunxiang was also confused. Just when he was not sure what, he saw a figure heading out of the village. Zijin was shocked and defended him to protect Liu Yunxiang and drew his sword.

Liu Yunxiang turned her mind and patted Zijin's hand holding the hilt of the sword, "Let's follow."

"ah?"

"That person won't hurt us, don't be too nervous."

Liu Yunxiang took Zijin out of the village. After walking a short distance, he saw thousands of acres of land, endless, and the crops were green and growing very gratifying.

Looking closely, there were two people in the distance, one woman and one man, the woman was pulling weeds and the man was irrigating. At this time, it was not the man who did something wrong. The woman grabbed a handful of grass and hit him, and he squatted down with his head in his arms, which looked really cowardly.

"Girl, that man seems to be... Mr. Xue." Zijin said in disbelief.

Liu Yunxiang could see clearly, "It's him."

The master and servant walked over there. The sun was warm and the breeze was blowing. There was a fertile field next to it. Liu Yunxiang felt much lighter.

"Hey, the land grows...it's not crops, it's grass!" Zi Jin was shocked.

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she was also surprised and hurriedly came forward to see. She was from the Minister's Mansion and was considered a lady from the official family. She had never been to the land. Therefore, at this time, she could not tell whether the clusters of crops or grass in front of Qing Dynasty were crops or grass.

"Wheat should be planted in the field. By this season, wheat ears should grow on the seedlings. If you have seen wheat ears, there is a bundle hanging at the door of our grain shop." Zi Jin said.

Liu Yunxiang thought about it and looked at the bushes in front of her. She looked around and saw that the whole field was full of grass.

"This... these fields are already deserted."

"There are all elderly people in the village, and they are unsteady in walking, let alone farming, so these fields can only be left deserted."

Liu Yunxiang nodded. That's true. She looked at the two men in the distance again, "Let's take a look."

When they got closer, they found that the area in front of them was wheat, which was much shorter than the wild grass and grew quite well, but there were a lot of grass in the wheat field.

The woman pulled out weeds while directing Xue Changfeng: "Change the ditch quickly. The irrigation is too full, and the water has washed away the fields and flowed to the grassland!"

The woman was urging her to hurry, and Xue Changfeng was a little panicked. With a shovel, the water washed away like a wild beast that was out of the cage. He was in a panic, but it blocked this side, it broke down, blocked the other side, and collapsed again. He was so anxious that he started to shovel the soil everywhere, so there were holes everywhere.

Seeing this, the woman was so angry that she smashed a handful of grass on him, then grabbed the shovel, skillfully blocked the hole, and the water also flowed to the next ridge.

"You are so stupid, how can you become an official?" The woman scolded Xue Changfeng.

Xue Changfeng was a little embarrassed, "It's too simple to handle official duties compared to farming."

"fool!"

"I can only blame this water for not listening to me."

The woman threw the shovel to Xue Changfeng and asked him to continue watering the ground.

"When will you let me go?" Xue Changfeng asked while watering.

"You just give up and marry me well, and plant it here for the rest of your life."

"You are forcibly robbing the civilians, this is illegal!"

"You can escape."

Xue Changfeng took a helpless look at the iron chain on his feet, and it was obviously impossible for him to escape by himself.

At this time, when he heard the footsteps, Xue Changfeng raised his head and saw the person coming. His eyes widened, then he felt a burst of ecstasy.

"princess!"

When the woman heard this, she quickly turned her head and saw Liu Yunxiang and the others. She stood up and handed over the shovel in Xue Changfeng's hand and blocked it in front.

"Who are you?" the woman asked angrily.

This woman is in her twenties and is probably the only young man in Changhe Village.

"We'll save him!" Zi Jin pointed to Xue Changfeng behind her, but as soon as she finished speaking, the woman actually shoveled over with a shovel. Zi Jin grabbed it, flew over, grabbed the shovel, and kicked the woman away at the same time.

The woman staggered for a moment and was about to rush up. Xue Changfeng hurriedly stopped her.

"Xiu Niang, they are my friends and good people!"

The woman glared at Xue Changfeng and wanted to fight with a brute force. Xue Changfeng had no choice but to say helplessly: "They are also people from the government."

Hearing this, the woman's face turned pale. She thought of something and hurried to the village.

Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to hurriedly disconnect the iron chain for Xue Changfeng, "We have to go back and pick up Taoist Master Ying Hongxuan!"

Unlocking Xue Changfeng, the three of them ran to the village together.

Xue Changfeng ran and talked about what had happened these days. It turned out that day he and Hongxuan were led by Gao Yuanwai to visit an old man who had worked as an accountant in the government office. When he came back, he passed by outside Changhe Village and felt a smog of smoke coming. He fainted in a daze. When he woke up, he was in the village with iron chains locked on his feet.

"What did they tie you up for?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Xue Changfeng coughed dryly, "Their village is full of old people, only Xiu Niang and a young woman. They have long reached the age of getting married. They want to kidnap a man. One is to be a husband for Xiu Niang, and the other is to be able to farm. Just the land you see is the food for the whole village, but the elderly are getting older and can no longer get into the land, so the surrounding area is deserted, and they need young laborers."

"Why did they turn this into a ghost village?"

Xue Changfeng sighed and said, "They can't get the land, and eating is a problem, but the government also asks them to pay taxes, so they came up with this idea, making the government think that the villagers are dead and dare not enter the village to verify."

"So those who caught a lot of young and middle-aged people, sucked their sperm, and then made them into mummies, are they fake?"

"They made it up and spread it."

After entering the village, Xiuniang had already told the old people about their fraud. The old people were excited at this moment and surrounded Hongxuan, and they were about to submerge him.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly asked Zijin to knock on the courtyard door next to her, making a clanging sound.

Because of this movement, the villagers looked at them.

Liu Yunxiang looked at these old people and was really cursing and could not move. He could only scare: "The officials are at the entrance of the village. After an hour, if we have not yet left, they will break in and burn your village at that time. Let's see how you white-headed ghosts can make trouble!"

As soon as these words came out, the old people looked at me and I looked at you, obviously they were really scared.

This has always been the case for the people not to fight with officials.
