The fisherman's family usually has a simple diet, and even if they hold a wedding banquet, they don't have any good food.
The wine was as light as water and had an indescribable fishy smell.
So Chen Yan stopped touching the cup after taking two sips, and never picked up the chopsticks.
Seeing this, Lu Sanwang and his son did not dare to continue the toast, but just chatted awkwardly with him.
While chatting, I came up with some useful information.
The king of Dai Viet was originally a benevolent king, caring and caring for the people, and never did anything detrimental to the people.
But for some unknown reason, his temper suddenly changed ten years ago. Not only did he increase the corvee tax, but he also stipulated that each village and each institute should hand over one boy and girl under the age of six every three years.
It is said that they are used to accompany the princes, princes and grandchildren to play, but the number is a bit too much.
When the common people became suspicious, they naturally wanted an explanation. As a result, anyone who had any objections would be put to death.
Those who refuse to surrender will also be beheaded.
Many people died across the country that year, including several in Lujia Village.
In the end, the boy and girl were handed over.
Then it was said that it should be paid every three years. In fact, as long as there are many children in your village, people from the official family will come to ask for it at any time.
In addition, there are also those who steal children.
Some are human traffickers and some are monsters.
It is elusive and impossible to guard against.
In the end, anyone with children at home had to hide them tightly and could not come out to see others easily.
If there wasn't a wedding happening in Lujiacun today, the adults would be here, and no one would dare to let the children out to play.
But even so, two children were abducted by a strange bird in full view of the public.
Speaking of this, Lu Sanwang was heartbroken and burst into tears.
Of course, what makes him even more distressed is the bad things that old turtle spirit is going to do, but he can't say it now.
"Do you think the king's temperament changed drastically ten years ago? Was it because he was bewitched by something, or... he is no longer the king he was before?" Chen Yan asked.
"My benefactor's words are on point." Lu Sanwang said: "There are rumors that this king is faked by a monster, and the real king is locked in a deep palace by it. The reason why the monster wants a boy and a girl is In fact, it’s just to refine the elixir of immortality.”
"What does this monster look like?"
"It is rumored that it is a big bird with nine heads. Each head can talk and eat, and each has different abilities."
Well, I finally found the ghost car.
But why does the green smoke still stay here? Is it possible that there are monsters here too?
Just as he was about to continue asking, the figure in front of him flashed, and a bald man walked over in a swaggering manner.
This man is of short stature and looks short and fat.
Although there was no hair on his forehead, it was covered with scabies-like pustules. Before he even got close, a fishy smell hit his face.
As soon as he appeared, the villagers stood up and ran away, as if they had seen a tiger, leopard or jackal.
Lu Sanwang and his son also trembled.
The old man turned his head and glanced at Chen Yan, intending to say something, but he was too nervous to say a word.
"Hey, so there are still guests here?" The bald man looked at Chen Yan and Lu Xiaojun, then glanced at Chen Xiaoqiang, grinning, "Rare, rare! We haven't had guests in our village for many years. I’m also happy to see it.”
As he spoke, the man came to the table, clasped his hands and saluted, "I am Lu Youdao, who is also a resident of this village. May I ask my guest's name, where he comes from, and where he is going?"
Chen Yan looked this person up and down, but didn't see anything unpleasant about him.
Yes, although this Lu Youdao looks a bit unsightly, his temperament is quite simple, and his eyes and tone of voice are also very sincere.
If it weren't for his sixth sense that told Chen Yan that this guy was unusual, Chen Yan would really have thought of him as an ordinary fisherman in the village.
"My surname is Chen Mingyan. I come from where I am and I am going to where I am going!" He raised his hands and clasped his fists, saying his name while opening his eyes and looking at the other person again.
As a result, just after the third eye opened, Lu Youdao raised his hand to block his face and jumped back, "Ah, he is actually a decent person. That's all, that's all, this is specifically for me, right? Lu San Wang, you have such a vicious heart!"
Lu Sanwang was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground. At this moment, Tingyan tilted his body and waved his hands: "No, no... I didn't specially invite you to deal with you. Marshal Chen just came to drink..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Erya rushed over and shouted: "Yes, I'm here to deal with you, a monster. Let's see if you still dare to harm the bride today!"
boom!
With this sound, all the villagers hiding in the distance exploded and shouted: "Young Marshal Chen, kill this monster!"
"Young Marshal Chen, help us conquer demons and eliminate demons. Your great kindness will be repaid in the next life as a cow or a horse!"
"Young Marshal Chen, we kowtow to you——!"
Hurrah!
Everyone knelt down.
Lu Erya also lay on the ground, and then reached out and grabbed her father. Lu Sanwang turned over and knelt down, and at the same time dragged his frightened son to the ground.
Well, the answer is finally out.
Chen Yan's heart fell back into his stomach.
At this moment, the divine eye had seen through Lu Youdao's true form, and it turned out to be an old turtle spirit.
It's almost a thousand years old. You can't tell by Tao Xing, but it shouldn't be very weak or too strong.
After all, this is a Mysterious-level story line, and the monster's maximum strength is the Mysterious-level achievement.
"You bunch of unruly people, I... I, Lu Youdao, have saved many of your lives over the past hundreds of years? Eight hundred if not a thousand! Just for this one thing, what can I do if I sleep with a few brides? Is it possible? Is there any other way you can repay me?"
Lu Youdao jumped to his feet and shouted, his expression a little angry.
"Now you actually want to ask an expert to get rid of me, your conscience has been eaten by dogs? Don't you think about it, if I die, who will rescue someone if someone capsizes and falls into the water in the future? Who will notify you if there is a flood upstream? And... ...Even if I am gone in this river, there will still be other goblins making trouble. Is it possible that there will be experts to help you next time?"
The villagers were speechless after what they said.
Yes, even though what this old bastard did was outrageous, if it were really gone, there would definitely be less protection in the future.
The most important thing is, what should I do if another monster comes?
After all, the old bastard is still an acquaintance, and sometimes you can fool him by discussing it with him.
How to negotiate a new monster?
If it wants to sleep with not only the bride, but also the young lady, then it might as well be this old bastard.
"Then you swear to never do evil again, and we will let you go!" Lu Erya's voice suddenly came out in the silence.
Well, even though Lu Sanwang is the village chief, his mind is not as fast as his daughter's at critical moments.
When he heard that this was indeed the case, he nodded quickly and said: "That's right... Master Dao, just be noble and let my new daughter-in-law go. No, from now on, you will not interfere with the new wives of other families. Then we will still be the same as before. Let’s get along well together, okay?”
"No!" Lu Youdao waved his hand, "If I don't sleep with my new wife, then all my good deeds in the past will be in vain? If I had known earlier, I would have gone elsewhere to protect the villagers. Why do I stay here with you white-eyed wolves?"
Besides, you think just these two people can kill me? Humph! This is my territory, Lu Youdao. As the saying goes, a strong dragon..."
boom!
Before he finished speaking, Lu Youdao was kicked out by Chen Yan.
