Chapter 464 Spring Rain Murder

Jiyin, Juyang

Under the dim sky, misty drizzle spread across the river.

Opposite the river is Lihu, which is only fifty miles away from Juyang in a straight line. However, due to the separation of a river, it is now divided into two families of Yuan and Chu.

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the harvest of a year depends on whether the amount of rainfall in this spring is sufficient.

There are busy figures everywhere in the fields. Last year, four times a year, and the tax rate of the new tax law is extremely low. People don’t know what other places are like, but they can know what level is across the river.

In this period of information asymmetry, the common people can see the size of a palm in front of them.

For the people living in the Linhe area in the north of Juyang, they may be more familiar with Lihu than Juyang. Last year, they saw their families collecting food four times a year, but there was only one season on the other side.

Superiority and pride often come from comparison. Apart from a river, there are two worlds. Now Lihu has a daughter who wants to marry here.

Many people also ran here. Although Yuan Shao had a ban, the river would freeze when winter came. No matter how many Yuan Shao had soldiers, he could not prevent the people from climbing the ice across the river.

Of course, there are also disgusting things that cannot be looked down upon. In summer, rowing at night to the water source to release poison. In order to prevent this situation, the water sources in each village are under the supervision of them.

After the visualization spread, the two sides did not lose the battle. At the end of last year, several idle men who couldn't see their women marrying across the river were killed. The relationship between the two sides was no longer as harmonious as before.

"Ahon, it's time to eat!"

"Here you come!"

In the field, an old man swayed his waist and strided out of the ridges of the fields. He looked very old, but he was walking as fast as he could. After the visualization was popularized, the biggest benefit for ordinary people was that he worked more effectively.

The old man looked over 50 years old. In this year, it was already a long time for ordinary people to live to 50 years old.

Looking at the well-built grandson who was raised, the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to be relieved. His body size was much taller than his father's age. Last year, the harvest was good and the tax was less. The family's harvest was almost eight times that of previous years. The meat and eggs that he dared not eat before were now dared to eat. Now, this young grandson has been raised quite strongly in the year and will be able to work in the fields next year.

Life will get better and better in the future.

When he came to the shed by the ridge of the fields, the old man sat down and opened the food basket brought by his grandson. The old man glared and said, "Why are there chickens?"

"Mom said, Ah Weng goes to the fields to work, you need to eat more to be strong." The child's tender voice was very strong, and there was a bit of desire in his eyes when he looked at the chicken.

"Aweng can't eat so much." The old man stripped the eggshell, divided the chicken into two, and handed it to his grandson, "Gousheng can help Grandpa eat something."

"I can only eat it if Ah Weng can't eat it." The child swallowed, and took the half of the egg, and the yolks were all inside. There were not many gentle and respectful things in the child's world. Although my mother didn't let him eat it, since Ah Weng couldn't eat it, it seemed very reasonable to help Ah Weng eat it himself.

"Yeah, eat." The old man nodded.

The child stuffed half an egg into his mouth in one bite.

"Slow down and drink some soup." The old man looked at his grandson with a smile, gave him a sip of the soup, and then started to cook the rice by himself.

"Aweng, your clothes are wet. My mother said it will be cold like this." The child ate half an egg and sat next to the old man with satisfaction. He brought a hat over there. There were not many wet areas on his body, but the old man's whole body was soaked in the rain.

The spring rain is like silk. Although it is not violent, it is dense and over time, it will be troublesome.

"Hey~" The old man shook his body and the rain on his body disappeared, and then steam rose. Soon, the water vapor on his body was evaporated.

"Ahon is so awesome!" the child clapped his hands and smiled.

"Does Gou Sheng want to be so powerful in the future?" the old man smiled.

"Think~" the child nodded quickly.

"If you want to practice the visualization method, don't be lazy. That is the gift from Chu Lingjun." The old man smiled.

"Yes." The child nodded. Chu Nan's reputation has already spread to thousands of households as he traveled last year. Now on the Central Plains, you ask who Zi is today. This ordinary people can't answer, but no one knows who Chu Nan is.

"Aweng, what kind of official is Lingjun? Is it very big?"

"Of course, it's very big, he is the biggest official in the world." The old man nodded. He actually didn't know what official Ling Jun was, but others called him that.

"Greater than the emperor?" said the child curiously.

"Who knows, but I must be more capable than the emperor. Maybe I will be the emperor in the future." The old man narrowed his eyes. The general trend of the world is not clear, but after living for most of his life, some things can still be seen.

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking, and a horn suddenly sounded in the rain.

"Damn it! It must be the bastards across the river who are here to make trouble again!" The old man finished the rice from the bowl, cursed, put the bowl into the food basket, touched his grandson's head and said, "Go back quickly, don't come out."

"I want to go too, beat up the bad guy!" The young child's tender voice was crisp and loud.

"Just? Let's talk about the hundred-pound stone lock in the village when you can move it!" The old man smiled, picked up his hoe and said, "Go back quickly, don't worry your mother!"

"Yes." The child agreed, picked up the food basket and walked back. After walking for a while, he turned back with a pale face.

The old man didn't ask him what was wrong. A team of fully armed soldiers came over here. Looking at his clothes, they didn't look like soldiers from his own side, but soldiers from Hebei!?

Seeing the crops in the fields being trampled, the old man didn't care about the distress, and quickly pulled the child over and hid him among the miscellaneous items in the straw hut.

"Gou Zuo is obedient. No matter what happens later, don't speak out, let alone come out." After saying that, before waiting for his grandson to reply, he blocked him with a miscellaneous object, got up and took a hoe to meet him, with a flattering smile on his face.

Just as I was about to say something, the leader saw someone here and showed a hideous smile on his face.

The old man's heart sank, knowing that the person who came was not good, he immediately turned around and ran away. He looked at Lao Mai, but ran quickly.

"Chasing!" Seeing this, the sergeant sneered, stepped on his feet, and his body rushed out like a cheetah. In an instant, he had already come behind the old man, but what was greeted was a handful of yellow mud.

Subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and the whistling sound was heard in his ears, but the old man had already knocked it down with a hoe.

Old fox!

The sergeant cursed inwardly, and it was too late to avoid it. He just turned his head and slashed into his shoulders. He was so cruel that he could even hear the sound of bones shattering.

The sergeant screamed in pain and punched him, but was caught by the old man.

"Puff~"

The huge force surged, and the old man couldn't bear it. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his arm also made a sound of bone cracking, but he grabbed his fist tightly and did not let go. A burning heat surged from the other party's palm. The sergeant screamed in pain, stabbed into the other party's chest and abdomen, and then kicked the other party away with one kick.

When I looked back, half of my palm was already burnt!

"Old thing!" Looking at the old man who was only venting his anger and lost his breath on the ground, the sergeant cursed twice. His elite force was actually plotted by this old thing. He pretended to escape first and let them separate and could not form a battle formation. Then he suddenly turned around and took action. Fortunately, the other party was old and weak, otherwise he would have capsized in the gutter.

"Boss!" Four subordinates caught up with him and looked at the squad's burning palms, feeling a little disappointed.

"Why did you cross the river? These ordinary people have such skills?" The subordinate said in confusion.

It would be fine if they met the other party's regular army. This was just an old man in the field, and they almost got their sergeant. If the people here were like this, how could they rob it?

"Hey, the visualization technique is spread all over the world in the court." The sergeant breathed depressedly. In fact, he had passed it privately to his family, but he tried not to let people know it.

However, an old man here has such combat power, which is indeed a bit troublesome.

The horns were still ringing there, and the sergeant was a little annoyed: "What did the team lead them? The arrow tower built by several village men can't take it yet!"

The rustling footsteps came from afar, which changed the faces of the five people.

"Go away quickly, the situation here is a bit wrong. Don't bother with it, otherwise it will attract the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army. We can't stop it. Let's leave here first!" After the sergeant said that, he immediately ran away with four people.

Soon, a group of villagers carrying various farm tools came over and looked at the corpses of the old man on the ground, their eyes blew fire.

"Dad!" In the crowd, a man in his thirties and forties stumbled to kneel beside the old man's body, and his eyes were red and howling.

"Where is the dog left? I just saw him delivering food here!" A middle-aged man frowned and looked around.

"Dog Sheng?" The howling man thought that his son was here, and his heart sank. He quickly stood up and looked around, but he didn't see his son's body, so he quickly searched around.

The last group of people saw the scared child in the wooden house with a white face.

"Gou Sheng, why don't you say anything??" Seeing his son being hidden here, the man looked shocked and angry. After calling so many times just now, the little bastard didn't fart at all.

"Aweng said, no matter what happens, don't speak out, let alone come out." The child said this intermittently, with panic in his eyes.

When everyone heard this, they were silent.

Perhaps thinking about the situation at that time, the old man must have noticed something was wrong, so he hid his grandson first, then led the other party away, and finally suffered a murderous attack.

"Who is it?" the man said angrily.

"Don't scare Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng, you can see who is chasing you?"

"Yes...they are dressed differently from us, with knives and iron hats!" Gou Sheng said tremblingly.

"Jizhou soldiers?" Several people realized that in recent days, there have been rumors everywhere that Jizhou soldiers often crossed the river to rob, and now it seems that they have encountered it.

"The horns over there have not stopped. I will leave someone and take Gou Sheng back first. I will go to the county town to report the news. There are thieves from Jizhou coming to rob. Everyone else will go and support me!"

"good!"
