In the third year of Yongsheng in the Ning Kingdom, monsters were dancing wildly, killing with bloodlust, and devouring lives, making the common people miserable.
It was under such circumstances that the demon hunters moved from behind the scenes to the front, killing countless demons that harmed human lives. They took it as their own duty to kill demons and eliminate demons, so they were deeply trusted by the people.
Demon slayers can be seen as having no official status, and those who are registered as slayers can even receive a considerable sum of money from the government every month.
Suddenly, the number of people wanting to become exorcists exceeded that of scholars.
Smoke from cooking pots curled up in the mountains and forests around Huaihua Village. As soon as the children playing nearby saw the smoke rising from the cooking pots, they immediately rushed home happily, as if they were robbed of the food at home if they were a step too late.
Huaihua Village is an ordinary village in Ningguo. If there is anything special about it, it is probably the big locust tree at the entrance of the village that cannot be hugged even by several people.
Even the oldest clan grandfather in the village cannot tell the exact age of the big locust tree. He only remembers that this big locust tree has been standing there since he was a child.
The ancestors of Huaihua Village have splashed and rolled under this big locust tree for generations, enjoyed the cool weather and picked locust flowers. This tree forms the most vivid part of their memories.
Goudan'er jumped down from the locust tree in a hurry. Every time it was time to eat, he was always the most active one.
After a while, the children in the village jumped down one by one like dumplings and ran home.
Goudan'er sniffed and his eyes widened, "Wow, my mother cooked bacon today, I can smell it."
A group of little kids looked at Gou Dan'er with envy. They also wanted to eat meat, but unfortunately they didn't have a hunter as good as Gou Dan'er's father.
Even when the harvest was not good and everyone didn't have enough to eat, Goudan'er's father could still hunt some game for the family from the mountains behind the mountains from time to time to improve the food supply.
After bidding farewell to his friends, Goudaner ran home quickly and shouted "Mom, I'm hungry" before he even entered the house.
"Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat day by day." Goudan Niang raised her eyebrows, "I don't want you to help me at home. I only run home when I need to eat."
Goudan'er smelled the strong aroma of meat in the kitchen, swallowed his saliva, smiled, and didn't take his mother's words to heart at all.
Goudan Niang rolled her eyes fiercely, "I don't know what happened to me, but I met you father and son."
After saying that, she went to the kitchen angrily.
Goudan'er looked at the kitchen reluctantly, then quietly walked to his father who was sitting at the door, and asked him like a little adult, "Dad, why did you mess with my mother again?"
The middle-aged man sighed, "How do I know that this woman's heart is like a needle in the sea?"
Goudan'er didn't believe it, "It must be because you had an affair with Widow Wang at the entrance of the village and my mother saw it, so she was so angry."
His father's face turned green, and he wanted to cover this little kid's mouth, "What nonsense are you talking about? She and I have nothing to do with each other. Who did you hear that?"
Goudan'er broke free from his restraints and shouted, "A man, if you can do it, don't be afraid of what others will say."
"My little ancestor, please stop talking. If your mother finds out about this, neither of us will be able to reap the benefits."
"Oh, that means you and Widow Wang are really having an affair?"
The familiar female voice made the father and son tense up. Father Goudan turned around in fear and saw the kitchen knife with a cold light shining in his wife's hand. He wanted to cry but said without tears, "Daughter-in-law, please listen to my explanation. I really have nothing to do with her."
Goudanniang sneered, "It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter. Now the whole village is spreading the news that you give food and drinks to orphans and widowed mothers? Now even your son knows about it, how dare you say that you two have nothing to do with it?"
Goudan Daddy carefully avoided the attack range of the kitchen knife, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said weakly, "Daughter-in-law, I just saw how pitiful the orphan and the widowed mother were, so I kindly gave him some food. I really have nothing else."
mean."
Goudanniang knows the character of her boss, she is a good at farming and hunting, but she always has some untimely bad intentions.
Take this time as an example. Although the man who headed the family died and the orphans and widows were left behind are very pitiful, the people in Huaihua Village have always been simple and honest, and there has never been any bullying of orphans and widows, let alone occupying other people's fields.
.
In addition, in the past two years, for some reason, other places have suffered from severe droughts or floods, but their Sophora Flower Village has always had good weather and a considerable harvest.
As long as you take good care of your three-acre land, you will never be short of food.
But what she earned through hard work was nothing compared to what others gave her for free. Taking advantage of her good looks, Widow Wang began to hook up with some widowers and asked them to give her some food and drink.
Since they are all widowers, the village has always turned a blind eye.
But when Widow Wang saw that no one was taking care of her in the village, she became more courageous, and this time she even decided to target her man.
Goudanniang's family has been pig butchers for three generations, and her father did not favor boys over girls. Therefore, Goudanniang had been learning the art of butchering pigs from her father before she left the court. At first, she was called Pig Butcher Xishi.
People who are used to seeing white knives coming in and red knives coming out are unlikely to be people who are bullied and don't know how to fight back.
Goudan Niang looked at her man with disgust, he was a good-for-nothing, and when he was stopped by an orphan and a widower, he cried, made a fuss, and hanged himself, and then the things in his hand were thrown out.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She waved her hand and kicked her man out.
Goudan Daddy stared at the closed door dumbfounded, his mind couldn't turn around for a moment, was he being kicked out?
Widow Wang, who had been looking here not far away, suddenly felt happy when she saw this scene.
The pig butcher's daughter is indeed savage and unreasonable. She pushes men away. Doesn't this give her an advantage?
Widow Wang hurriedly adjusted her makeup, and after making sure it looked cute enough, she swayed over.
"Brother Tiezhu, why are you here?"
Goudan Daddy looked back and saw her, feeling a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that her child was crying so pitifully and his family was not short of food, he wouldn't have given her food.
Good thing now, not only was his wife misunderstood, but she also kicked him out. Now we will see the culprit, can Daddy Goud look good?
But he was a grown man after all, and he took the initiative to give her the things, so he wouldn't show off to a woman like her, so he just responded casually.
Widow Wang didn't understand his perfunctory expression. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that my sister-in-law knows what happened between us and lost her temper with you?"
After saying that, he still wanted to cry, his eyes were red, and he said to Goudan Daddy guiltily, "Brother Tiezhu, it's all my fault. I'm going to apologize to my sister-in-law right now, so she won't be angry with you."
