"We found auspiciousness here!" the middle-aged man said in a very low voice. After speaking, he looked around deliberately, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
Auspicious!
Auspiciousness, also known as Fu Rui, is considered to be a natural phenomenon that expresses God's will and is beneficial to people.
For example, colorful clouds appear in the sky, the wind and rain are smooth, double ears of grass grow, sweet springs appear on the ground, strange birds and animals appear, etc.
But in the same way, auspiciousness can also be all kinds of strange and rare treasures that rarely appear.
In ancient times, auspicious signs appeared frequently, but most of them were fake. Some were deliberately created by the emperor in order to maintain his rule, proving that he was the son of destiny and a commendation from heaven;
Some of them were corrupt officials below who committed fraud to show that they were effective in governance and to please the emperor.
Feng Yi always sneered at the theory of auspiciousness. There are so many so-called auspiciousnesses. He either has little experience and has never seen them before, or deliberately deceives the public.
, including in the previous life of the 21st century, when the country was not developed enough, similar things happened.
Unfortunately, with advanced technology, these so-called auspicious signs have revealed their true colors.
Therefore, the theory of auspiciousness is either that the rulers fooled the people below, or that the officials below were trying to fool the emperor, and in the end only the ignorant people believed it.
However, this middle-aged man spoke so firmly, and there were so many "happy events" happening in this village, maybe there was something really causing trouble.
Feng Yi thought about it for a while, then looked interested, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, is it possible that so many happy events in your village are related to auspiciousness? Can you explain it to me?"
"Indeed, this auspicious sign was found near the general's tomb. It's quite small, but extremely delicate, colorful, and particularly beautiful."
The middle-aged man patted his chest and said, "I discovered the thing first. I didn't say anything about it at first and secretly put it at home. Who knew that something strange would happen at night?"
"What's the matter?" Feng Yi asked with great interest.
"I was injured in the early years, so that place no longer works, but with that thing pressed under the bed, I actually found that I could feel it, and I was a bit stronger than before!"
The smile on the middle-aged man's face became brighter and brighter, and he continued: "I tried to call my mother-in-law, but she ignored me. When I came over, she was shocked...
We didn't sleep that night and worked hard until dawn, which alarmed the neighbors."
Feng Yi looked strange when he heard this. What kind of treasure can rebuild a man's self-confidence? Is it really effective, or is this guy hallucinating?
The middle-aged man said with some annoyance: "The matter was too bizarre, and we couldn't hide it any more, so we told the story about Xiangrui.
Now it was good, it was spread to ten, and everyone in the village knew it, and they all said that the auspicious sign appeared near the village. I couldn't keep it to myself, so I had to take it out due to the excitement of the crowd.
Later, Erlu, who had become stupid after studying in our village, became enlightened and won the imperial examination; the old and ugly Lai Tousan married a daughter-in-law; Xiaocui, who had never been able to give birth to a baby, became pregnant with twins...
Tell me, is this a good baby?"
When Feng Yi heard this, he had a clear understanding in his heart. This so-called auspicious thing can capture the biggest regret in people's hearts and make dreams come true -
But, is this dream real, or is it just their imagination after being controlled by Xiangrui?
Then how come the people in their village disappeared out of thin air and then reappeared as ghosts a hundred years later?
This matter deserves further investigation.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi said: "Brother, didn't you tell me that Lai Tou San is getting married today, why don't you go and help?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man said angrily: "These bastards, I discovered this thing. After everyone got it, they turned against each other and refused to admit it. Not only did they not return the auspiciousness to me, they also offered it to the court, hoping to get the favor of the court."
Reward.
Tell me, isn't this stupid?
With this treasure here, if you don't have anything else, do you still need to care about the reward from the court?
Huh, can the imperial court cure my illness? Can the imperial court find a wife for Lai Tousan?
But no matter what I say, they all follow me like a demon, and even my mother-in-law doesn’t agree with me anymore, so I don’t want to talk to these people, they can do whatever they like.”
After hearing this, Feng Yi was filled with indignation and said: "How could they do this? It's really stupid... But brother, have you sent this thing?"
"Send it off. A group of people don't trust each other, so they sent young men from several families to send it off together.
I thought at the time, no matter how many people went there, it would be useless. If I couldn’t keep such a good treasure, they would gang up and steal it for themselves. Guess what, I was really surprised. It had been three months since they left, and there was still a little bit left.
No letter!
Tell me, did they take the things and run away?"
"Is there no one from the imperial court?"
"No, the court didn't see anything at all, how could it come?
Human?" The middle-aged man was extremely angry at this moment, but the smile on his face became more and more weird, making people shudder to see him.
"Then other people in the village won't be angry?"
"Being angry, what's the use of being angry, everything is gone.
Besides, all their wishes came true, and the person who took away the things was a trustworthy person in their village, and they thought more liberally than anyone else!
The worst offender is me, the Widow Li next door, the daughter-in-law of the Sun family..."
Seeing what the middle-aged man said became more and more outrageous, Feng Yi couldn't help but frowned. Brother, what are you thinking about? You're just a widow, even your daughter-in-law...
Fortunately, the item is gone, otherwise if you had succeeded, you would probably have been beaten to death with sticks.
No, you have been dead for a hundred years.
A hundred years without stopping is enough...
Seeing the middle-aged man trapped in his own imaginary world and unable to extricate himself, Feng Yi shook his head and took a few steps forward. Everyone coming and going in the village was grinning. At first glance, it seemed quite harmonious, but it took a long time.
It felt scary.
Feng Yi asked a few more people, and their words were similar to what the middle-aged man said just now, but the strange thing was that when everyone talked about auspiciousness, they said that they were the first to discover this thing.
I had to hand it over.
This matter was such a big deal that even Feng Yi was a little confused.
The only thing that is certain now is that everyone has seen Xiangrui, and they have relied on Xiangrui to make their dreams come true, and have accomplished the things they most regret or hope to achieve in their hearts.
But in the end, without exception, everyone said that Xiangrui was sent to the court by a few young men in the village.
Moreover, Feng Yi also discovered that these people, like the first middle-aged man, had other regrets that they failed to realize after realizing their most regrettable thing, and they were all grudges about this.
The problem is not simple. Feng Yi frowned and said secretly.
