Farming in troubled times: Anyone who stops me from getting rich will die!

Zhu Wu and Wang Zheng did not return until sunset, while Li Yueyan waited at the head of the village and could see through the autumn water.

In just half a day, even his beard grew.

"What are you doing here? Go back first."

Wang Zheng crossed his arms and lowered his head, his face was very ugly and his tone was low, which made Li Yueyan's heart skip a beat.

"go!"

Zhu Wu frowned, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

The three of them walked home in the scorching sun. The hot temperature didn't seem to be dampened by the darkening sky.

"Back!" Qing Kui saw the person coming from a distance at the door and said to the tent.

Su Shi walked out.

"Brother Wu! Wang Zheng!"

"Mom, let them come in first to lower the fire." Li Yao shouted towards the door.

Su Shi quickly got out of the way.

Li Yueyan, who was the last to leave, held her arm and pretended to be calm, "As long as I'm here, Yun'er will be fine. No matter how hard I try, no one will hurt him."

There was a coolness in the tent, driving away some of the stuffiness.

Li Yao poured three cups of herbal tea, which Zhu Yinniang had specially brewed in the afternoon.

After the three of them drank herbal tea, most of the heat had dissipated.

Zhu Wuxian said, "The old village chief was the chief of Datian Village, but now he was temporarily in charge of all the remaining villages.

The reason is that no one wants to be the head of those villages.

In fact, the villagers in those villages now are the same as our new village. They were formed by villagers from more than 20 villages in the past. "

Wang Zheng nodded and said, "Pushi County turns out to be as wealthy as Ninghai County.

But since the mountain god became angry, these villages in Pushi County have suffered revenge from the mountain god one after another.

Unable to bear the disturbance, many families moved from place to place and fled to another place.

In just a few years, Pushi County has become what it is now. "

“The old villager didn’t look very good, but as soon as we went to their house, he became very kind.

He also told us that he was forced to have no choice. If Jiyun was not arrested, all the villagers would definitely get entangled, and we would not be able to settle down here.

Because the mountain god will deal with everyone who does not respect it. Even their family members will not be spared. "

"Is the mountain god really so powerful?" Li Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm.

"Yao'er, what the old village chief said was amazing. There was a hunter in a village who just borrowed a mountain temple to sleep for one night because of heavy rain. Within two days, the hunter's wife ran away with the family's money. .

Later, someone saw her in Pushi County. His limbs had been cut off and he was lying on the ground begging. "

Zhu Wu’s eyes were full of sighs, but he still said, “There was another time when twin brothers from a village dug a bird’s nest near the mountain temple, climbed to the top of a tree and only took a look at the mountain temple.

The brothers died at home that night, choking on bird eggs.

It is said that the two of them blasphemed the mountain god. "

"These are just two of the things. Like this, the owner's child fell into the well and drowned, and the girl from the west family slept well at home, but woke up in the wilderness the next day. There are countless such things.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, they have offended the mountain god. "

"I don't really believe in mountain gods." Wang Zheng snorted coldly.

"Godfather, what did you find?" Li Yao asked.

Wang Zheng said, "Do you know how they appease the mountain gods?"

He looked around, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Daddy, are you sacrificing a girl?" Li Yao spoke boldly.

Wang Zheng said with a dark face, "For five consecutive years, two girls have been sacrificed at the end of June every year.

It was originally a boy and a girl, but later I heard that the mountain god had instructed that the boys were naughty and they were not allowed to be given away.

In addition, one sheep, one pig, five hundred steamed buns, two hundred kilograms of grain, brown sugar, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. must be sent to the mountain temple every month.

Every time a girl is given away, these things must be prepared, plus a cow. "

Hearing these words, everyone present frowned and felt disgusted.

"This is not a sacrifice, it is clearly a matter of collecting money and robbing sex!"

Li Jize's throat rolled and he felt angry.

"What a mountain god? It's not an exaggeration to say he's a bandit."

Veins popped out on both foreheads, "Didn't these people suspect fraud? Didn't anyone report it to the official?"

He clenched his fists and pursed his lips.

"What did you say?" Zhu Wu understood the meaning, "Ji Ze, do you mean that there is no mountain god? It is man-made?"

Li Jize nodded affirmatively, "Other than that, I can't think of any god who is so greedy."

Zhu Wu unconsciously shifted his gaze to Li Yao. I don’t know since when, everyone has become accustomed to listening to her opinions.

"Uncle Wu, godfather, do you think it's strange too?"

Wang Zheng nodded without hesitation.

Zhu Wu lowered his eyes, "I was tricked by the old village chief before, and I just felt that the mountain god was terrifying and cruel.

Now listen to what Ji Ze says.

Strange indeed!

Do they not want us to settle here and are they deliberately trying to scare us so that we can leave? "

"I think we came here by mistake and disrupted their plan."

Li Yao thought about it and said, "Heilian and Brother Jifeng went to the mountain temple to check the situation. We also made some discoveries."

She told the story about the black face discovering the big fat man, which made Zhu Wu's eyes sparkle.

"Do you think any of those people have connections with this fat man?"

There was a trace of sarcasm on Li Yao's lips.

"I can now determine who is cooperating with that fat man!"

Everyone in the room frowned.

"It's the village chief!" Li Jize knocked on the table, his eyes burning and his words affirmative.

He asked, "Uncle Wu and Uncle Zheng, did you find anything wrong at the village chief's house?"

Zhu Wu and Wang Zheng were meditating together.

Wang Zheng said excitedly for a long time, "Although the village chief's house is an adobe house, it is cool everywhere. The temperature inside is very different from that outside."

Zhu Wu seemed to have thought of something, "Does tea count? The village chief's old woman poured us tea. It was not like ordinary coarse-leaf tea. It didn't taste astringent, but sweet.

Also, when we left their yard, a two or three-year-old child was feeding chickens in the yard. Use white flour steamed buns! "

“Aren’t they very poor these past few years?

How can poor people afford good tea? And the white flour steamed buns, even if you spoil your grandson, you can't feed them to the chickens. "

Su murmured, "The current situation in Pushi County will not be as good as our previous Qingshan Village.

At that time, Mrs. Li doted on Li Tianbao so much that she would be beaten and scolded even if a little bit of steamed bun crumbs fell off.

Chickens can only eat bran mixed with grass. "

Having said that, what else don’t people understand?

"My brother and I have the same idea. In addition, another reason that makes me doubt the village chief is why other villages are unwilling to elect a village chief and all follow his orders.

Also, he was the one who said that the mountain god would be punished and that the mountain god would be angry.

The villagers all seemed to follow his guidance. "

"If he was working with the people on the mountain, why did he do this?"

Zhu Wu still had doubts.

"Making money!" Li Yao replied, "In addition to making money, the mountain temple may have some unknown secrets!"

"Uncle Wu, I have an idea now..."
