Xiaohuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the small courtyard and counted the coins with great interest, with a happy face.
She is also rich now!
"One penny, two penny~"
After counting, the girl solemnly put the coins into the belt around her waist and hid them. Finally, she patted them and confirmed that they were put in. Then she held her head in both hands and looked up at the sky.
The black night sky is like a huge canvas, dotted with countless white and pale yellow stars, which shine faintly, as if winking at her. There is also an outline of the Milky Way, which stretches across the sky, like
It is the river of the universe, flowing with sparkling stardust.
When the breeze blows gently through the treetops, it will bring a gentle rustling of leaves. Although he is now a prisoner under the stairs, Xiaohuan feels that it is good to stay here.
Since they were adopted by their grandfather, they have always lived in the open air. They rarely have a hot and delicious meal, a quilt to cover them at night, and a house to protect them from the wind and rain.
Moreover, she actually had a large bedroom to herself, where she could grow flowers, grass, and place various things and furniture.
The most important thing is that when her grandfather goes out to teach, she is not restricted and can wander around the village. And today, like the villagers, she goes to the pig farm to help feed the pigs and gets paid.
She can earn a full fifty taels of silver in one day. If there are one hundred days in a month, wouldn't she be able to earn a huge sum of five taels of silver a month?
This is too good.
And there was one thing that was particularly strange. Logically speaking, in this wilderness, there should be a lot of insects, ants and mosquitoes in the yard, but she had never seen one in the village. No matter where the sanitation problem was solved, she would not be punished.
Bug bites.
Is this the Feng Shui treasure land that grandpa said?
"Squeak~"
The courtyard door was pushed open.
Zhou Xian put his hands behind his back and Shi Shiran came in, looking like a master.
Xiaohuan took a closer look and felt a little strange: "Grandpa, why is your face swollen? Did those vixen students hit you? I told you before, don't believe what Baguio said. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.
You can be beaten casually, or you can be punished corporally if you don't finish your homework. I'm a fairy, will you obey me? Is it okay now? Is it beaten?"
After a few complaints, Xiaohuan went back to the house to get some ointment.
Traveling around the world cheating for food and drink, Yi Xian has rich experience in being beaten, and she naturally also has rich experience in healing injuries.
"Oh yes, be gentle!" Zhou Xian sat on the stone bench and bared his teeth, but still said harshly: "The main reason is that those vixens are too stupid, which made my mouth dry, so I drank too much water today.
So there is some edema on my face, it will be fine in a few days.”
Zhou Xiaohuan:...
Ghost King:......
Little yellow cat: .....
After dressing the wound for a long time, Zhou Xian frowned and was puzzled by the solution.
Although his fortune-telling skills are usually not very reliable, it is not so unreliable. In the past, it seemed that the ghost king must have lost his wife and daughter. Why has it changed now?
The key is that his life has changed beyond his comprehension. His wife is rich and glorious, his daughter is indescribably noble, and dragons and phoenixes are auspicious.
He can still understand if it is a small change in destiny, and he can do it reluctantly with his own methods, but with such a drastic change, does the law of heaven not care? Doesn't this completely interfere with the fate of reincarnation, and even mess up the rules?
Outrageous!
"Xiaohuan, bring out a jug of monkey wine from my grandpa's room that I bought recently in Hujiacun!" Zhou Yixian said sadly.
The world is so big, there are countless strange people and strange things. After all, he is just a mortal now. There are too many things that he doesn't understand and there is no use worrying about them.
Why not have a glass of wine and a plate of peanuts and enjoy this short life? Wouldn't it be nice?
As long as you have wine, all those sorrows and sorrows will not be able to catch up with you!
"Here, drink less!" Xiaohuan came out and said with a cold face.
The monkey wine in Hujiacun is uniquely delicious and has the effect of nourishing the body. Although she knows that drinking alcohol is bad for the body, she can't object to her grandfather. Besides, the old man got a beating at the first sight, so he can relax after sleeping.
That’s fine.
"Hahaha, at such a young age, why are you so serious? Smile, you will look good!"
Zhou Xian laughed loudly and pinched his granddaughter's cheek. Then he looked up at the starry sky, stretched out his hand to hold it, and couldn't help chanting: "Visit the ancient garden, pick up the fragrance, laugh at the fresh grass adding new makeup. On the windy road, invite us to talk.
A pen pal who writes thousands of poems, plays chess, calligraphy and painting, drinks thousands of pots of wine, and is drunk by watching the green willows and the evening stars."
“Good poetry and good wine!”
With that said, Zhou Yixian opened the jug, his originally happy and excited expression froze, and then he turned the jug over and poured it down, shaking the jug continuously.
Not a drop of wine left!
The old man was dumbfounded.
"Whoever killed me a thousand times stole my wine! Ah! Is it easy for me to earn some money to buy wine when I'm old? That's too much, woo woo!"
Zhou Yixian was so angry at this meeting that he cried for his father and mother. Who actually stole the wine that he had to work hard for half a month as a teacher to buy a bottle of wine? He is already over a hundred years old!
This is too immoral!
"Meow~" the little yellow cat jumped on Xiaohuan's shoulder and grinned.
Well now, sadness has caught up with him!
Xiaohuan quickly held her breath. Although she knew there was something wrong with this, she still wanted to laugh.
.....
winter solstice.
The wind is freezing, but there is still a lot of traffic outside Hujia Village.
Pigs are fine, but rabbits breed very quickly and eat a lot. If they are not brought here early, most people cannot afford to raise them. Moreover, the mountains will be closed due to heavy snow soon. The villagers should bring things here early to buy some food and food.
If you keep the salt, you can live a good year.
Xiao Yicai stood outside the village, looking at the village. He was dressed in cloth, with a simple and honest face, and he was leading a huge wild boar.
After standing for a while and asking for news from passing villagers, Xiao Yicai felt much better.
These villagers are completely different from other places. They are so busy that they can't stop for a step. They are even in the mood to talk to him about interesting things in the village. For example, the most interesting one is undoubtedly the dominant figure in the village: the little yellow cat, who often talks to the villagers.
The granddaughter of the new accountant was fighting in the streets and alleys, her clothes and hair were flying everywhere, it was very fierce.
Both sides even called for reinforcements, one called a group of foxes and the other called a group of dogs.
So harmonious, it seems that the practitioner appearing here is not a demon as the information said.
That's good!
He is the proud disciple of Daoxuan Zhenren, the head of the Qingyun Sect, and a disciple of the Tongtian Peak of the Qingyun Sect. Because of his superb immortal magic and Taoism, he is far ahead of his fellow disciples. He also won the championship in the 19th Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, and is known as
The first disciple of Qingyun Sect.
As the leader of the righteous path in the world, Qingyun Sect has many great businessmen, many of whom are relatives and family members of great practitioners on the mountain. They do not know how to practice, and they have many inconveniences when eating and drinking on the mountain. Most of them enjoy the worldly blessings.
.
As the eldest disciple, he has gradually begun to take care of the affairs of the sect, the most important of which is information. As a righteous person, of course the most important thing is the information of the devil.
According to the news, there are many places where demons appear, and two of them are the most arrogant. One is the Hujia Village, where the original ghost guards of the Demon Sect, as well as those demons suspected of being vixens, appear.
The second one is Nakhon Sang Mountain. Recently, a large number of vampire bats have appeared, sucking the blood of human beings and animals, which is extremely cruel. Moreover, it was the place where demons from the demon sect gathered eight hundred years ago, and it is a very dangerous place.
The key point is that there are many caves inside, as well as various mechanisms and secret passages. Even if the righteous path knows that there are demons there, it is difficult to destroy them.
The right path is also difficult!
Shaking his head, Xiao Yicai slowly approached Hujiacun with the wild boar.
Different from what the businessman said about pressing forward step by step, there is a tranquility and peace here that has never been seen in other places. Many people are even weighing money in their hands without fear of being discovered by others.
Is the rule about not exposing your wealth gone?
It’s unreasonable! Even if people don’t dare to touch you in Hujia Village, why don’t they dare to follow you and do something outside the village?
I can't understand.
Following the flow of people, he came to the fixed queue outside the village to queue up. On the way, his pig was touched several times by many people, making him squeal wildly.
"Hey, I haven't received a big pig for a long time. Yours looks like it weighs a hundred pounds. I'll give you four thirty-jin pigs. Can I sell them for four taels of silver?" the Ghost King said with a smile.
I don’t know what’s going on, but these days my wife is suddenly as crazy as a tiger, and she doesn’t want to rest day and night. He is getting tired of it, and now he suddenly finds that being a cashier and collecting pigs is quite a good idea.
At least you won’t have back pain!
Xiao Yicai's expression tightened, and he immediately knew that there was something wrong with his search for information this time, but at this time, it was even more difficult to expose the truth.
"Hey, okay, thank you Accountant Hu."
The Ghost King nodded, not caring at all about this person's special origin or reason. He took out an ingot of silver from the basket on the side, then took out a pair of small scissors, slowly cut off the silver and weighed it.
This way you can work slower and get off work slower.
Xiao Yicai was a little confused. The intelligence clearly stated that Hujia Village was very wealthy and gave money freely, so before he came he just grabbed a pig and prepared for a good meal tonight. Why was he picking at it when he came here today?
Has his identity been discovered?
Xiao Yicai's heart tightened. What an intelligence officer fears most is having his identity discovered, because at that time, in order to find out the situation, he would probably go deep into the devil's cave, surrounded by enemies.
There is no place to run, how to play?
For a long time, the top disciple of Qingyun Sect has been worried, even preparing to use the last resort to leave a last message to the teachers: Don't send the big wild boar!
The silver was finally cut.
The Ghost King was somewhat proud, and put his hand into the hand of the honest young man in front of him: "It's not bad at all! You can go back and weigh it yourself. If it's even a little bit off, I'll pay you ten times the compensation."
Xiao Yicai:???
What's the point of being proud of just cutting a piece of silver? I almost wrote my suicide note! And, to be honest, my grandma can cut it faster than him!
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yicai resisted the urge to hit someone. Don't let the small lose the big. The most important thing at the moment is to find out the purpose of raising pigs in Hujiacun and the origin of the rice and salt.
A small leak will sink a great ship!
…
At night, a man in black quietly walked out of the inn and slowly explored the village.
Sometimes foxes casually walked past him without noticing anything. Apparently, the clothes Xiao Yicai wore were robes specially used for spying, and had the miraculous effect of hiding his aura, mana, and body shape.
This is the foundation of the largest sect of righteousness.
Moreover, he also has the talisman of the Five Elements Escape Technique on his body. No matter what situation he encounters, as long as he reacts quickly, he can instantly escape dozens of miles away.
In such a situation, what else does he have to fear?
Passing by a small courtyard, the lights were bright inside, and a cute little girl was looking expectantly at the food on the table: a fresh grilled fish.
The eldest daughter of the Hu family, who was usually dignified and reserved, Baguio swallowed a mouthful of saliva and touched her heart again.
"Suck it! No, I can't eat anymore. Stinky Lele said that he has gained a lot of weight now. Last time he took a shower, he almost vomited out his dinner. If he keeps going like this, he will turn into a fat pig sooner or later.
I won’t have to be laughed to death by Lele from now on!
However, the fish has been cooked. If you don’t eat it, wouldn’t it be a waste? As the old saying goes, every grain of fish is hard work. This fish was caught by the tribe from the river. Several foxes were almost killed by that inexplicable thing.
The beaver emerges and drags it into the water.
And I worked so hard to bake this fish!
Well, let God decide!"
After thinking about it, Baguio took out the brocade belt around his waist, took out a copper coin, and expected to throw it into the sky.
"If the copper coin breaks, I won't eat this fish tonight!"
"Pa~"
The copper coin fell to pieces and even shattered into powder. The breeze blew and the powder flew everywhere, covering the girl's face with dust.
Baguio:???
Xiao Yicai quickly pursed his lips, almost unable to hold back his laughter, and then continued to grope along the corner.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of Hujia Village is that the roads are relatively good and the planning is neat and clean. He will not suddenly encounter any obstacles or cause any disturbance just because he is not familiar with the road.
The journey was extremely smooth. Apart from some foxes and normal guards, he didn't even find any traces of magic circles, curses or ghosts.
When they arrived at the gate of the pig farm, Xiao Yicai breathed a sigh of relief. Such an arrangement obviously showed one thing, there were indeed practitioners in Hujia Village, otherwise they would not have been able to keep so much rice and money, but it also showed that they were open-minded and not afraid of the righteous people coming to investigate.
Even standing here, he felt that there was no need to go in.
But a person who travels a hundred miles is only half a mile, as the saying goes, even if he comes here, if he doesn't take a look or record some videos, he won't be able to explain it to the teacher when he goes back.
In addition, it is also possible that the Hujia Village has set up an empty city plan, and there may be some unimaginable and terrifying arrangement in it.
As soon as his figure moved, Xiao Yicai suddenly stopped.
"Meow~"
Under the starlight, a little yellow cat was shining golden, and its blue eyes were looking at him curiously.
Xiao Yicai felt relieved.
He heard on the way here today that this cat can only get along with a six or seven-year-old girl. And who is he? The chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect, the most upright sect, with the highest cultivation level among the young.
A great master of the generation.
With his current means, there are countless ways to deal with this kitten, but the kitten is helpless and cannot even make any resistance.
This is strength!
No big deal!
Making secrets with his left hand and mobilizing his magic power with his right hand, Xiao Yicai was ready to use both methods to exert all his strength.
This is also the key to his successful survival until now: stability!
