Chapter 7 Be a Good Guy, Be a Bad Guy

……

In Dagan Country, deep in the southwest mountains, there is a small mountain village on a cow-shaped mountain range called Niujia Village.

There are sixty or seventy families in Niujia Village. Most of the villagers are very poor. Zhang Sanniu’s family on the high ground in the north of the village is even poorer. When mentioning the situation of Zhang Sanniu’s family, the villagers They all shook their heads and sighed, wanting to help but lacking the ability.

Until one day, after Zhang Ergou, the second son of Zhang Sanniu's family, was born, interested villagers began to discover that this originally impoverished family had undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few years.

First of all, Zhang Sanniu's land is much better than before. Regardless of floods or droughts, they can guarantee a good harvest every year, as if they know the time of year and never miss it.

Afterwards, Zhang Sanniu's family ate much better meals than before. No matter those who run on the mountain, swim in the water, or fly in the sky, there is no shortage of meat all year round, and they can often smell the smell of meat coming from his house.

Then, there are all kinds of unsolved mysteries that happened to Zhang Sanniu's son Zhang Ergou. As for the things in the village, Zhang Ergou seems to be able to predict in advance. Whose house will catch fire this year, and whose house will catch fire next year. The child will drown, and the adults of the next year will be in danger while hunting in the mountains. Almost every word has been said. There are so many times that almost no one in the village doubts what the second dog of this family said.

There are even a few villagers who have tasted a little bit of sweetness after listening to Zhang Ergou's words, and they believe in Zhang Ergou even more. Every spring planting and summer sowing, Zhang's family planted what they planted, and they also planted what they planted.

There are also a few hunters who recovered their lives in times of crisis because they listened to Zhang Ergou's reminder, and even regarded Zhang Ergou as a lifesaver, and they were very grateful.

There are too many miracles that happened to Zhang Ergou, and Zhang Ergou's reputation in these ten miles and eight villages has gradually increased, and even some ignorant villagers really believed in some rumors: Zhang Ergou is the God of Nine Heavens Reincarnated, with boundless mana, knowing 500 years before and 500 years after, knowing everything about good and evil, and hiding all evil spirits... Then hang a portrait of the Nine Heavens God in the shape of two dogs at the door of the house for the safety of the house.

"Hey~! Where are the monsters who dare to act presumptuously here? Don't hesitate to show your real body and let me, mother-in-law, purify you, a monster, with divine fire!"

This morning, an old woman with a hoarse voice, ugly appearance and skin like old bark led a group of terrified villagers with hoes in their hands to gather around the door of Zhang Ergou's house. Holding the bloody mahogany sword, he wanted to crusade against demons with a stern voice.

"Slay the demon?"

Seeing this battle, Zhou Ming sneered, walked to the door, and said to the sorceress in front of him: "I see, the so-called demon is you, locust tree spirit?"

"What did you say..." The sorceress was stunned, her head was short for a while.

Sudden!Zhou Mingji pointed at the sorceress, and said in a stern voice: "Last year, a sixteen-year-old child in Yangjialing fell ill and was possessed by you as a water ghost. He was pushed into the fire and burned to death. After death, his soul was swallowed by you. For this reason, your life span has increased. Three years!"

"The year before last, an [-]-year-old child in Dadong Village also fell ill. He was also possessed by you as a water ghost and burned to death. His soul was swallowed by you, and his lifespan increased by two years..."

"The year before last, Xishui Village..."

"In the past ten years or so, you have caused disasters, and there are as many as a dozen children who have been possessed by you as water ghosts. The locust tree spirit has absorbed the souls of so many children. Your lifespan has increased by more than a hundred years, right? "

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, the villagers were in commotion.

"What, the old witch is a locust tree spirit who specializes in devouring children's souls?"

"The old witch looks older than 80 or [-] years old, a hundred years old, doesn't it?"

"How could it be that the water ghost possessed him every time?"

"Could it be that what the Nine Heavens God Lord said is true?"

The villagers took two steps back in unison, looking at the sorceress not far away with horror on their faces.

The witch's face turned pale, and she turned into anger from shame: "Shameless demon, you are talking nonsense, don't hurry to die!" After speaking, the witch came straight towards Zhou Ming holding a blood sword.

"Locust Tree Essence, you should be the one to die!"

Zhou Ming's face was serious, he took out a spherical object from his sleeve, threw it at the witch's feet, there was a loud bang, and two or three seconds later, a burst of choking black smoke dissipated, and the bloody witch fell to the ground. Moaning endlessly.

"Everyone, uncles and aunts, I have knocked down this harmful locust tree spirit with my palm lightning. I will seal the body of the locust tree spirit. You throw this locust tree spirit into the fire and help me eradicate this harmful locust tree spirit!" One side of the monster!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ming took out a piece of ebony of unknown material from his sleeve, and took out a knife to slash upwards. Amidst a burst of exclamation, a dazzling bloodstain appeared on the pitch-black ebony.

"Locust tree spirit, this old witch is indeed a locust tree spirit!"

"It's heartless, the souls of more than a dozen children have been swallowed by this locust tree spirit."

"Burn her, burn her!"

The angry villagers raised the wailing sorceress and threw them into the blazing fire.

"This family's second dog, could it be that the god was reincarnated?" In the crowd, Li Shouzheng, the head of the village with a pale complexion, regretted inviting the old witch to Niu's Village.

……

In a blink of an eye, 16 years have passed, and the name of Zhang Ergou, the God of Nine Heavens, has become more and more popular, and more and more "miracles" have happened to Zhang Ergou, such as self-taught blacksmithing skills and superb carpentry work. , Hunting in the mountains has never returned empty-handed, and some inventions and creations made occasionally have brought infinite benefits to the village.

What's even more rare is that the God of Nine Heavens still has a heart like a bodhisattva. If anyone in the village is in trouble, if that family encounters a difficult problem, they will generously donate their money and help each other with all their strength. Word of mouth.

And I heard that when Shenjun, who had reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, wanted to marry his daughter Xiuniang, Wang Xiucai from the east of the village agreed without much objection. The Nine Heavens Shenjun has great powers, and if his daughter marries him, she should be blessed for the rest of her life. .

At this moment, the head of the village, Li Shouzheng, is at home.

Li Shouzheng's second son, Li Wenhao, was crying, making noise and hanged himself in his bedroom, making the family restless and frantic.

"No, I must take Wang Xiucai's daughter, Wang Xiuniang, as my concubine! She is mine, and no one is allowed to snatch it from me!"

Li Wenhao's eyes were red and authentic, and when he heard that Zhang Ergou also fell in love with his favorite Wang Xiuniang, he immediately became furious, and his anger could not be quenched!

"Oh, my heart, Wang Xiuniang is the woman whom the Nine Heavens God has taken a fancy to. Why are you robbing the God? You won't be afraid of being punished by the gods. Be good son, be good. There are many women in this world, so don't worry about Wang Xiuniang. It's okay." Li's mother tried hard to persuade, Li's mother, who believes in gods and Buddhas, doesn't want to offend the true god who has committed crimes in the world.

"What Nine Heavens God Lord, I think it's just a dog! A mangy dog! Since he dares to rob me of Li Wenhao's woman, I'm going to make him look good!"

Li Wenhao was furious, and immediately called a group of minions, and went to Zhang Sanniu's house to make a big fuss. If the enthusiastic villagers around him didn't stop him, he might have smashed the entire Zhang family.

"Hehe, Li Wenhao, I didn't expect you to jump out, very good, very good..." A sneer flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Ming made a decision in his heart.

……

One night two days later, bad news came from Li Shouzheng's home. The second son of Li Wenhao, Li Wenhao, died of a stroke while having sex with his wife Zhou. The strangeness among them had to be hastily buried.

Hearing the news of Li Wenhao's death, Zhou Ming smiled very happily in private. Li Wenhao's heart is not good, and he is lustful. As long as he drinks a little [Golden Sword Grass] juice that he prepared for him, once he does violent movements, his heart will beat. Accelerate, and death is not far away.

As for how he knew the efficacy of [Golden Sword Grass], after using the [Junior Hunting Card], he knew hundreds of poisonous weeds similar to [Golden Sword Grass].

And in this life, his survival philosophy is: No matter who is against me, he will die!
……

Time flies like an arrow, and more than 30 years have passed. In these years, in addition to his wife Wang Xiuniang, Zhou Ming also took in several concubines such as Li Erya, Sun Qianqian, and Zhang Xiaoya. There are also twenty or thirty children born by myself, and there are sixteen of them for males alone, and there are more than a hundred of them including grandchildren and grandchildren. It can be said that the family is huge.

The family business has grown, and Zhou Ming has his own way of making arrangements for his sons. For example, he has established more than a dozen village-run enterprises in the village, including blacksmith shops, carpentry shops, mills, oil presses, textile factories, and brick kilns. The two sons are responsible for one piece, and they help each other when encountering difficulties. There is no possibility that the offspring will starve to death.

In terms of agriculture, Zhou Ming, who has accumulated hundreds of acres of land over the years, plans to build another big one.

"Father, apart from the Li family, the big family in the village, for the 'collective farm cooperative' plan proposed by our Zhang family, the other villagers are very supportive and want to follow our Zhang family!" Outside the door, the eldest son Zhang Sheng came in and reported There was a message.

"Hehe!" Zhou Ming sneered, as if he had expected it, and said slowly: "The shares are invested according to the amount of land, the use of cattle and tools is concentrated, and the collective effort is made to dig ditches to improve irrigation... How could the Li family think of such good things? Well, it would be good for those muddy legs who are not forced to sell their sons and daughters to sell themselves! Our collective farm cooperative project is digging the roots of his Li family! It's no wonder they don't work hard for us!"

"Father, I have long thought that their Li family is not pleasing to the eyes, but father, there are quite a few men in the Li family. If there is a fight, I'm afraid..." The eldest son said with concern.

"Don't be afraid," Zhou Ming smiled and shook his head: "I have been preparing for many years to deal with their Li family, Sheng'er, go and call the second and third children over, I will show you something..."

……

a few days later.

In the north of Niujia Village, at the gate of Zhangjia, two groups of people were gathering at this time, each with about a hundred people. The group outside held sharply sharpened knives and axes with cruel smiles on their faces.

The group of people in Zhang's courtyard held mostly hoes and shoulder poles, but they were also polished to a shiny finish.

The two crowded crowds were shouting and cursing at each other, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out.

"Old dogs of the Zhang family, if you start any more 'collective farm cooperatives', our Li family will immediately wash the entire Zhang family with blood!"

"Yes, bloodbath the Zhang family! Bloodbath the entire Zhang family!"

"Go to Zhang's house and grab money and women!"

At this time, a group of black spots suddenly flew out of Zhang's courtyard, and there was a pungent sulfur smell in the air.

"What is this?" In the crowd, a man from the Li family took a black ball with his hand and took a closer look.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Ah!" "Ahh!" "My leg!" "My hand is gone!" "...!"

The screams continued one after another, and it was difficult to dissipate for a long time.
