brother of space

The barracks in the Guoan garrison are limited after all, even if they have temporarily increased a lot before the arrival of the ancient warriors, it will still not be enough after the people arrive at Yitong.I had to prepare again, but in that case I would have to go in the afternoon anyway.

Dongfang Yao and his party came late, so there was no room for them in the barracks.Noticing that many warriors with familiar faces around them were nervous, looking at them from time to time, they discussed and decided to go to the village to rent a house from a fellow villager, so that at least they can do things conveniently. There are many, there is no need to have too many "acquaintances" like now, watching them is like watching a monkey show.

Zhujiawa is located in the northwest of Luoyang City, and it can be regarded as a relatively inner village in Beiman Mountain. According to the pamphlet specially prepared by Guoan for them and the humanistic introduction of Major General Qin, this village was lively for a while before the founding of the People’s Republic of China. , until the war and famine began, population flight gradually declined.There were indeed very few people here before the 60s, but with the start of the government's various immigration programs, it has flourished again.

"It's already ten o'clock in the morning!" Zhou Xiaomei glanced at her watch with a worried face.Today is the New Year's Eve. As a Chinese citizen, every household should be lively on such a day, especially in the countryside. No matter how many firecrackers have to be set off to drive away the bad smell, so that the family will be prosperous in the coming year.

But along the way, in the entire area of ​​Zhujiawa, soldiers and warriors can be seen the most, but the locals rarely see them.The whole village is the same as the Xiaozhuang town we passed by before. Even if you can see red couplets pasted on the doors of many people, it is difficult to see people. As for the sound of firecrackers, they have not heard a single sound since they came here. Pass.

Could it be that the people here aren't planning to get too involved? Normally, wouldn't it be more appropriate to set off firecrackers to drive away evil spirits when encountering such a thing?

The few people did not knock on the door of the fellow's house rashly, but walked casually along the bluestone road in the village. Occasionally, they could hear the voices of the elders scolding the children from the yard beside the road, which made the whole village not seem so lonely .

"In the countryside, it's hard to see such a well-preserved Ming Dynasty-style building. This house can be carefully repaired, which shows that the owner cherishes it very much!" After the door, sigh.

Zhang Jin stared at the big stone lion in front of the family for a long time, and said seriously: "Someone in this family knows magic." He has no research on ancient architecture, and he has no interest. It is best to be able to live, to live conveniently, to live comfortably, and to be big enough. As for what the house looks like or what dynasty it belongs to, he doesn't care at all.

"Hehe!" Jiang Mo and Zhou Xiaomei smiled when they heard the words. They could naturally see that the stone lion in front of the courtyard had been tampered with.

But each family has its own way, and if the other party doesn't provoke them, they won't take too much care of things. For example, the owner of the house in front of him is a Captain Mo Jin.

"Did the young master sell talismans on the way here?" Zhou Xiaomei asked suddenly.

Zhang Jin didn't understand why the other party asked such a question, but she nodded and said with some embarrassment, "Well, I sold some."

Dongfang Yao took over the conversation and told the story.

Jiang Hufa sighed: "I have seen the talisman of the young master, and it is really a big loss to sell it at this price! We..."

Zhang Jin and Dongfang Yao finally knew that the reason why everyone in those warriors had the agility of talismans was because of Jiang Mo and Zhou Xiaomei. The two of them followed Lin Wanru's wishes and sold a lot of talismans on the way here, but In terms of price, they are only high but not low.

"I didn't intend to ask for money." Zhang Jin said with some embarrassment, "Brother Yao called for the price for me."

"Fortunately, there is Mr. Dongfang." Jiang Hufa smiled, "otherwise the loss will be even greater. There is an old saying in China that the poor are rich in martial arts. There are not many people who practice martial arts who are not rich in money. Basically, behind every martial artist, there will be There is a huge economic organization, so you don’t have to worry about them running out of money, young master. When they charge ordinary people for worship, they are merciless. Basically, the annual income of people can catch up with the current domestic, a business Income for one year or even many years. I heard that the warriors in the south are discussing to increase the cost of worship. So if you save money for them, you are sorry for yourself."

"..." Zhang Jin didn't know what to say. For some reason, she felt a little distressed and regretful.

Guardian Jiang Mojiang continued with unsatisfactory expressions: "...Young Master, don't think our talismans are expensive, but if you carefully calculate the cost and the value of the talismans, you will find it extremely cheap. Because generally it is an ordinary talisman. The amulet of the amulet can also hold a person's life when necessary. Compared with life, what is a few thousand dollars? There is also the spiritual power poured into it by the talisman, which is the spirit of the talisman drawer force."

yes!Zhang Stingy's values ​​are very worrying. Before, he thought that he had made 'black money'. Now that Jiang Mo analyzed him, he felt that he was an idiot.

From now on, he will never be a good person again!Zhang Jin thought silently.

"Hello fellow, can I ask if anyone here has a vacant house?" When they had almost finished walking the east side of the whole village, they finally met an old man who had just returned from collecting firewood on the hillside. .Protector Jiang Mojiang greeted him without saying a word.

The old man looked at his face, he was about fifty years old, so he should be.At least according to the appearance of the rural people at this moment, the body is still strong, but there are many wrinkles on the face left by the wind and sun for many years.

Hearing someone asking, the old man with his head bowed and carrying the firewood hurriedly put down the dry firewood on his back. After seeing clearly, Jiang Mo and the people behind him hurriedly cupped their hands, and said in Mandarin with a local accent: "How are you, guests? The guest lives over there in the rice field, right?"

"Yes, we just came here today." Jiang Mo said, "The paddy field is full now, so I want to ask my brother if there is any vacant house here that can be borrowed. Don't worry, brother, the accommodation fee We'll do it ourselves."

Hearing this, the old man looked at everyone again, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Jin, with a slight difference on his face.According to the situation here, everyone can guess what the old man is thinking. It is nothing more than the fact that underage teenagers are the fastest infected on their side, so why do they automatically send one to their door.

After a while, the old man looked away, and muttered under the urging eyes of everyone, "...it's not a matter of money or not. If you want to talk about an empty house, the family has nothing to do with it, and there is no empty house. Don't look at these few days. The life of the old man is better, but there are many children in the family. If there is a vacant house, let me tell you the truth, you (you) should, don’t live there.” He sighed, and was about to pick up the firewood on the ground.

"Uncle, is there anyone at home?" Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Dongfang Yao suddenly asked.

No one at home? !The action of the old man stretching out his firewood paused, and he turned around after a while, with a serious expression on his face, and his voice raised a bit: "How dare you live in such a house?"

"It should be fine." Jiang Mo looked at Dongfang Yao and Zhang Jin, turned around and nodded to the old man.

The old man's eyes were a little confused, but he quickly said to himself: "No, no, I can't hurt you. Otherwise, I will go to the [-]th floor of hell." He picked up the firewood on the ground and hurried away .

But this took more than half of the entire village, and how could they let go of the people they met with difficulty, and they had to keep up with them in a few steps.But the old man was even worse, as if he knew they were going to chase him, he simply ran away.After running for a few steps, I felt that the firewood on my body was too cumbersome, so I didn't even need the firewood.

Well!Seeing this scene, even if Zhang Jin and the others persisted, it was hard to really chase after him.

Just watching the old man leave and looking at the firewood that was trapped and thrown on the ground, they were still a little embarrassed.

Zhang Jin looked at Dongfang Yao, Dongfang Yao smiled, stepped forward to pick up the firewood and put it on his back, "Uncle Jiang and Aunt Zhou are waiting here, I will send the firewood over there."

"I'm with you." Zhang Jin followed.

"Then let's go and see other places." Zhou Xiaomei thought that the four of them would be together, and they might unseen pressure on the villagers. Perhaps it would be better to separate.

"That's okay, whether you can find it or not, we will wait by the big millstone at the entrance of the village in an hour." Dongfang Yao thought for a while.

Jiang Mo and Zhou Xiaomei nodded, said "be careful", and walked quickly to the village.

Zhang Jin and Dongfang Yao simply let go of their consciousness, locked on to the fleeing old man, and walked in the direction where the old man fled.
