Chapter 30 The Luo family enters the village (first update)
If there is anything Luoning wants most right now, it must be the seventh-grade demon elixir.
To practice the three medicines for his true soul, he already has the Ghost Bait Fruit, but still needs the Soul Quenching Pill and the Yangshen Fruit.
And the seventh-grade demon pill can be used as the main medicine for refining the soul-quenching pill! With the seventh-grade demon pill, the problem of the soul-tempering pill is almost solved.
Then, only the most rare Yangshen fruit is left.
What luck.
"Then thank you General Sikou." Luo Ning's title went to a higher level. "If you ever come to the county, I will definitely pay you a visit."
Dong Weimin nodded, "No thanks, if you see Xianggong Cai, please say hello to me."
After saying that, he ordered to collect the bodies of the demon cultivator and his subordinates who died in the battle, and left in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.
"General Sikou, go slowly. See you later." Luo Ning said politely.
But he knew very well that if Dong Weimin hadn't been worried about Cai Ji, not only would he not have given away the demon pill today, he would have even questioned his origins in detail in the name of official duties.
People in the officialdom are difficult to deal with if they are difficult to deal with. They are easy to deal with if they are easy to deal with.
As long as others know it, you have someone in the officialdom!
Dong Weimin was a seventh-grade consummate martial artist, and Cai Ji was also a seventh-grade official. He had just entered the officialdom, and his official qualifications were far inferior to Dong Weimin's.
But Dong Weimin was still worried about Cai Ji and wanted to please him. This shows the power of the Confucian and Taoist monks and the extent to which they suppressed the military attachés.
Of course, Cai Xuanshu, who was good at building momentum, must have also publicized the fact that his sister was Wen Changbo's concubine, and took advantage of Wen Changbo's momentum.
On the ground in Yizhou, I can count on one hand all those who dare to offend Wenchangbo Mansion.
Luo Ning thought of this and felt the power of the demon pill's soul. He couldn't help but smile slightly with a playful look on his face.
Cai Xuanshu created the image of a gentleman who did not forget his acquaintances with the poor and the humble, and also wanted to use himself to build momentum for him among the people in the world.
Of course, he must make good use of his status, and even the momentum of Wenchang Bo Mansion behind him, to pull the banner like a tiger's skin.
When these three words are said to Wenchang Bofu, everyone must weigh them carefully.
Luo Ning killed the jackal demon and actually received some wish power.
The wish power came from the group of refugees. But there were only a dozen or so refugees in that group, and the number was too small, so they only gained an inch of the wish power.
The parents of the girl who died at the mouth of the jackal demon stood in front of their daughter's horrific corpse, crying out to heaven and earth, filled with grief and indignation.
When everyone saw this, they all sighed.
Although more and more people are being eaten by monsters, if you see it with your own eyes, you will inevitably feel sad for the death of a rabbit and the death of a fox.
Luo Li watched this scene, grabbed Luo Ning's arm, and still recalled the situation when Luo Ning blocked her in front of her.
If it weren't for her brother, she would have been eaten alive by monsters like her poor sister.
"Brother..."
With her brother here, she felt extremely at ease.
Everyone in the Luo family class looked at Luo Ning's thin and tall back, and seemed to see a big mountain.
"Let's go." Luo Ning didn't want to stay here anymore.
Luo Jiaban's carriage rumbled onto the road again, raising clouds of dust.
Soon after, Gujing Village arrived.
The flags of Luojiaban were fluttering on the official road, attracting the attention of the villagers.
"It's a theater troupe. The rain has been bad this year, and people are praying for rain all over the countryside. It's time for a spring opera to entertain the gods."
"Alas, Tudimiaoshan Temple sent pig head sacrifices, but it didn't work."
"Raining is the Dragon Prince's business, and the land and mountain gods have nothing to do with it. If we don't put on a show in the Spring Society to please the Dragon Prince, I'm afraid it won't rain for another month."
"Luojiaban? I've never heard of it. Are you from out of town?" said someone who knew a few words.
Although the Luo Family Ban has done great things in Shiqiao Town, a hundred miles away, Ge Laohui deliberately conceals it and strictly prohibits publicity. People here still don’t know about the Luo Family Ban.
Alu saw that the villagers not far away seemed to be very interested, so he immediately rushed forward.
"Fellow fellow villagers, you are polite." A Lu bowed to several villagers in a polite manner, "The Luo family class passed by Guibao Land and came to ask for good luck! It is the Spring Society now, do you dare to ask whether there is a society play in the village?
"
He knew that Luojiaban was almost out of money.
In a few days... people will have no food to eat, and horses will have no grass to chew.
An old man from Qian Niu asked with a dusty face: "Young man, how many bags of silver do your Luo family charge for a class?"
Alu's face straightened, "Can we charge more? No!"
"One play only costs 40 taels. Chunshe performs three plays, 3412, but only 10 taels of silver."
"Ten taels." The old man said with a hesitant look on his face, calculating every wrinkle on his face, "It's not expensive, but..."
Every wrinkle showed a trace of sadness, "These days, life is difficult for the country people, and the harvest is not good. This year's rain seems like God doesn't want to give food to eat."
"But if it doesn't rain, Lord Dragon, the Spring Society's show to entertain the gods won't be possible!"
He beat his back with his fist, turned his pale head, and looked at several young villagers, "In my opinion, eight taels?"
The villagers nodded together, "What my uncle said is, eight taels... it's done! The village elder can agree."
The tone of these people was as if Luo Jiaban had agreed to only charge eight taels, and there was no need to discuss at all.
Only then did the old man Qian Niu look at A Lu again, stretched out his old hand like a dead tree root, and made a sign of eight characters.
"Eight taels."
Eight taels... Alu shook his head, "Old man, let's go with nine taels. Let's each give in. Eight taels of silver is a package of silver. I can't explain it to the class leader."
The old man also shook his head, "We are hard-working farmers. We don't do business, and we don't know how to bargain. Even eight taels of silver is just converted into copper coins."
"Our copper coins are earned by dropping a bead of sweat on the ground and smashing it into eight petals. It's not as good as yours, just open your mouth, do some somersaults, and collect a lot of money."
"Eight taels of silver is equivalent to eight thousand copper coins. No matter whether you are old or young, everyone in our village has to share...seven coins! We also have to take care of your food and horses..."
"Okay, okay." Alu retreated, "Then eight thousand copper coins, I can't defeat you."
A Lu came to Luo Ning's carriage and reported: "Lord, they are only willing to give eight thousand copper coins..."
The young man named Luo Tianxia nodded, "I have heard it. Eight thousand copper coins is just eight thousand copper coins. Now their life is difficult and they have harder work than us."
"Yes." Alu nodded, "Then I will go and settle it and press my fingerprints."
Soon, Alu turned back and reported: "It's done, we said that the 28th is an auspicious day, and the Chunshe will perform a show. Let us temporarily live in the rice pounding courtyard in the village. It is quite spacious, with a house and a bed."
"Meals and horse feed...are all covered by the village, so you can go out and eat house-to-house."
Luo Ning looked at the big village not far away, "Then let's go into the village and stay in the rice pounding courtyard first."
At that moment, Luo Jiaban, led by a villager, entered Gujing Village and walked for several miles along the river in the village.
But I saw several watermills and waterwheels on the bank of the small river where the water was the fastest.
But because it hasn't rained for many days, the water level in the river dropped so much that the water mill and waterwheel stopped moving.
There is a small courtyard covering an area of half an acre by the river, which is the public rice pounding courtyard in the village.
Entering the rice pounding yard, everyone immediately smelled the smell of grain, rice bran and livestock manure mixed with sunlight.
It has a very rustic feel and doesn't smell bad.
In a mill, several boys with horned buns were playing with a donkey covered with blindfolds while singing a song:
"You ride a donkey and I'll ride a mule. Let's see who goes to see grandma first. You ride a donkey and I'll ride the horse. Let's see who gets to my husband's house first..."
The donkey was teased and barked wildly, causing a mangy dog to bark wildly.
The entire rice pounding courtyard suddenly became lively and noisy.
