"Money pig! Why are you howling here, you idiot?"
As soon as Cheng Yu returned to the village, he heard the dark village man howling to the sky.
Just as I was enjoying watching it, I suddenly heard Zhuangtou scolding from behind me.
The swarthy village man named Qian Zhuqi suddenly said in a low voice:
"Second Grandpa, I don't know who stole the net I used to make a trap. I'm so angry..."
"Let me ask you, with your net, what has caught the most in the past?"
"It's just a little trick."
"Still..."
Zhuangtou lowered his voice and continued:
"Now that we have a grandpa in the village, do you still want to continue to play tricks on the family in the future?"
"Oh? You always say that my network is..."
"Shh! Shut up! I never said anything. I have never seen you today."
Zhuangtou turned around and left, but after a few steps he remembered something and turned around and said:
"By the way, let me tell you guys one by one that you are not allowed to set traps in and outside the village to catch the clever ones.
Otherwise, I’ll break both of your dog’s legs, and then I’ll send you to wait for the winter hunt to take the lead after you’ve been raised.”
"Farewell, Second Grandpa, last year I was the one who went first and was shoulder-turned by that black man, almost killing me half of my life. Don't worry, we will definitely not catch the family again..."
……
Since then, no more sparrows have fallen into the trap in the village, and the delicious and delicious food of roasted sparrow skewers has been lost in the village.
The birds only thought that the bankers were stupid and had forgotten how to set the trap, without knowing the details.
The next day, the falcon demon came to the village to look for Cheng Yu. I don't know what kind of blinding spell he cast, but he actually shrunk himself to the size of an ordinary falcon. He was not afraid of people and landed directly on the roof of the village.
Since Heitan Tou was frightened and fainted last time at the back of the village, he has become much more honest today and has not caused any trouble in the village. He only brought a few of his younger brothers and Cheng Yu to blow water on the roof.
Suddenly I saw an eagle landing next to me, frightening all the birds to the point where only one was left. Some of the birds who had not left their nests were so frightened that they flapped their wings and almost collapsed their nests.
The birds hurriedly fled away like bereaved sparrows.
They hid a full ten feet away, and everyone looked at the roof of the village surprisingly quietly, where a falcon and a sparrow were drinking and chatting happily.
Among them, there is even more good deeds, call me Que Lao Niang.
The old lady flew closer to her with doubts. When she saw clearly that her fourth child was chatting and laughing with an eagle, she "chirped" twice and almost died on the spot.
After Cheng Yu saw her from a distance, he had to fly to her to comfort her before giving up.
From then on, Que Lao Niang flew around and jumped up and down in the village with great dignity, and she was always surrounded by three aunts and six wives who were always flattering and serving her.
But Cheng Yu couldn't let the Falcon Demon come to the village to look for him again, otherwise all the sparrows in the village would be scared out sooner or later.
Only the mountain temple was quiet, so it became a place where two birds could drink.
Whenever the falcon demon was drinking heavily with Cheng Yu, he would "tweet" and scream loudly. Not only was he drunk, but he also offered himself a tutorial on how to learn how to learn how to falcon.
The two tipsy birds are either on Qingluo Mountain or in the mountain temple. Today, a hawk imitates a few sparrow calls, and tomorrow, a sparrow makes a falcon call. The two birds are having a great time.
Well, they all learn quite the same thing.
……
In the blink of an eye, the three-day period for praying for rain set by the old Taoist has expired. The bankers are very well-behaved, and no one dares to step out of the bank during the three days.
"Qian Si Liu! Qian Si Liu?"
Before dawn, Zhuangtou stood at the door of Qian Siliu's courtyard and shouted. A dark and lean man pushed out the wood door and came to Zhuangtou: "Uncle, what's the matter?"
"Quick, take this rubbing with you, go to Qingchuan County immediately, hand it over to the official in person, and truthfully tell him everything that happened in the village in recent days."
"Ah, why do you let me go? I still want to pick up the old god today."
"Pick up your mother's ass... ugh!"
Zhuangtou was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake and quickly covered his mouth, then whispered to Qian Siliu:
"I don't worry about sending someone else there. You have to do this, and you have very tight legs in the village. If you don't go, who will?"
Seeing that Qian Siliu was still reluctant, Zhuangtou pulled him over and said:
"You go and come back quickly, I'll leave a pig's foot for you to mend."
Qian Siliu's eyes were filled with tears:
"What's going on? We're going to kill a pig today!"
"Don't talk! Go quickly!"
"Hey! Let's go now."
"Come back, change your body and clothes before going! Also, don't make any nonsense in front of the senior officials. At the end of the year, I will pay the annual report and personally ask the senior officials. If there is any discrepancy, I will come back carefully and break your legs!"
Qian said yes four or six times, and rushed towards the main road with rubbings in his arms.
……
Every household has had breakfast and is already uncontrollably excited.
The second uncle Zhuangtou specially selected a piece of the best stone, and he and his two apprentices worked day and night to build a stone tablet as tall as one person in two days.
The stone tablet was covered with red cloth and was moved step by step towards the back of the village by sixteen strong men shouting tunes.
Cheng Yu squatted on a branch and looked down at the mediocre people at his feet, and suddenly felt some emotion in his heart.
Just for the sake of getting a few more stones of grain and a few more meals, these villagers can entrust all their beliefs without reservation to a creature they have never seen before, or even an illusory creature.
Just to have a spiritual sustenance, so that they only need to work hard without thinking, which may be the easiest way to live in this world.
Following the formation of more than a dozen people carrying the monument, more than a hundred people moved step by step to the front of Zhuanghou Temple, which took half an hour.
Zhuangtou walked in front with his youngest son Erzhu and several clan elders, standing at the door of the temple and looking in.
"Old Immortal, we followed your advice and only left the village in three days to take you back to the village..."
There was silence in the temple, no one answered.
Zhuangtou asked loudly a few more times, but in the darkness behind him, there was no one breathing loudly.
"Pulling"
A little sparrow landed quietly on the eaves of the Dragon King Hall, watching quietly as the village head at his feet braved his way into the courtyard, followed by the villagers following him in tiptoe.
Enter the village quietly and don't want to shoot anyone.
There were so many people who didn't even make a sound of footsteps, which made Cheng Yu sigh. You must know that these people are not professional soldiers who follow orders and prohibitions.
"Eh? This..."
Everyone found two dilapidated palace doors lying in the courtyard. Looking at the doors and windows of the Dragon King Palace, all the doors and windows were gone, leaving only three holes with remaining window panes and door hinges hanging.
"This..."
Zhuangtou and the clan elders looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.
Erzhu, the youngest son of Zhuangtou, walked out of the crowd and walked into the hall.
"Plop!"
"Daddy!"
The little boy fell down at the entrance of the palace and shouted to the village head behind him with a cry.
Zhuangtou couldn't care anymore and rushed into the temple. Suddenly he saw that the place where the statue was originally placed was empty. There was a big hole in the roof. The temple was a mess and a horrifying scene. His feet felt weak for a while and he was also tripped by the threshold.
Fall to the ground.
"This...this..."
The clan elders also rushed in, looking dumbfounded at the scene inside the palace.
"Oh, this... if it is what Grandpa Quexian said, it must be the old god and the Quexian who worked together to help Grandpa Jin drive away the dragon... evil dragon, and that's why the palace was like this. This place must be like this.
It was a fierce battle, and you can see that there was a big hole in the roof."
"That's right! Do you still remember that when the old god finally asked us to return to the village, his face changed color and his tone was urgent? He must have discovered something was wrong here, and in order to protect me and not be able to point it out on the spot, he asked me to quickly return to the village for refuge.
."
"Oh, what you said is absolutely true. The Bird Immortal and the Old Immortal are indeed worldly masters. They are upright and upright, indifferent to fame and fortune. After doing such great good deeds, they don't want to bother us anymore. They actually left on their own, leaving me alone.
I don’t even have a chance to repay my kindness.”
"Yes, thank you, Grandpa Quexian, thank you, the old god!"
Everyone was talking to each other, but I don’t know who shouted the slogan first, knelt down and worshiped, causing people behind them to cheer and knelt down.
As for the tribute food and a pair of green donkeys that they had worked so hard to prepare, no one has long forgotten it.
……
Half a day later, close to noon, the tablet was erected outside the door of the central hall of the courtyard. The red cloth was still not removed. The head of the village just asked someone to remove the plaque with the words "Dragon King Temple" hanging on the courtyard door and prepare to replace it with the mountain tablet.
Temple Plaque.
The hall was also cleaned up, and the black dragon's clay body had been blown to pieces. Zhuangtou suddenly remembered that after the clay body was seated, Mr. Qian had come to see it in person.
If he really asks about it in the future, he will have to carefully prepare an excuse to explain it.
Wait until Qian Siliu comes back and see Mr. Qian’s reaction outside.
Erzhu stood in front of the bill, looked up at the well-sized hole on the roof, and murmured to himself:
