Land god

Seeing Du Qian, Wang Kexiu was so happy that he stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, but his big hand passed through his body. Then he remembered that Du Qian was a "ghost", and shrank his hand with an embarrassed smile.

After the enthusiasm of meeting, the two were suddenly relatively speechless, Wang Kexiu just smirked, and Du Qian didn't know what was wrong, he wanted to meet people when he didn't see them, but he didn't know what to say when they met.

"Baldhead, you... How have you been recently?" It was so easy to squeeze out such a sentence.

"It's pretty good." The bald man didn't give much face, so he replied three words.

At this time, the door of the backyard was pushed open, and Wang Kexiu's sister-in-law stepped into the backyard. Seeing that he was still standing there, she immediately stared at him and said, "Little uncle, what are you doing standing there? We will feed you and wear you. Do you want to do a little work too? How ridiculous is it to always be lazy!"

The bald man agreed, took a sneak peek at Du Qian, and quickly squatted down to skin the black bear. After rolling his eyes, his sister-in-law picked up a handful of firewood from the pile of firewood and went back.

Du Qian glanced at the leaving figure, and suddenly thought about it, so he squatted beside Wang Kexiu and asked him: "Bald, tell me about your home. This is my first time here, and I don't know anything. I know!"

"What are you talking about?" Baldhead asked while his subordinates kept peeling the bear's skin.

"Just say, how many people are there in your family, how many acres of land per person, how many cows in the field, etc." Having a topic, Du Qian began to talk about it.

Wang Kexiu answered honestly one by one: "There are four people in my family, my mother, my brother, my sister-in-law and I. There used to be [-] acres of land and three cows. But now they are gone. My sister-in-law said she would move to the city. So my brother sold the land, cattle and the original house, and bought the current house in the city."

"Is your mother healthy?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with me except that my waist and legs hurt when it's cloudy and rainy."

"What does your brother do?"

"In the past, we were all farmers. Now he carries the sedan chair for others and goes out early every morning. It's hard work."

……

Du Qian blatantly inquired about the situation of the bald head's family, and the bald head was very patient and answered every question. However, it seemed that the bald head's world view was different from that of ordinary people. Du Qian felt that the information he inquired was always far from the truth. layer.

The bald-headed hands and feet were very nimble. After a while, a big bear skin was cut off, and four bear paws were chopped off. The skinned black bear looked a little shocking. Du Qian felt uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything. He didn't intend to go back immediately, seeing that the bald head was still busy, so he told him to leave first and come back to see him at night.

Du Qian just sank into the ground, and he didn't go far when he met the ghost soldier who had just guided him over, the ghost soldier asked him with a smile: "Everyone is new to Yanyun City, would you like to go around with me? "

Du Qian had something to ask him, so he readily agreed.

The ghost soldier said: "In our Yanyun City, the most famous place is the Wanma Market. Many merchants have traveled thousands of miles to buy horses for business." Then he led Du Qian to the Wanma Market, I saw a circle of huge logs made of wooden fences, which stretched for more than ten miles.

The venue was divided into more than a dozen streets, and each street was crowded with people.

The outermost streets are lined with restaurants, which sell food and department stores. There are hawkers shouting one after another along the street, and the smell of wine, tea and food is wafting around.

And a few streets further inside are circles of horse markets.Horse dealers usually bring hundreds of good horses and put them in the fence, while they themselves sit on the top of the wooden fence to greet the customers who come and go. Comment, and bargain with the horse dealer.

The ghost soldier said to Du Qian: "Although this place is lively, it is also boring. The most interesting thing is the most interesting place in the center of our Ten Thousand Horses Collection. Every horse there is a horse that travels thousands of miles every day and is worth thousands of gold. More than that. Sometimes there are even alien spirit horses appearing, attracting countless people to bid wildly, and many practitioners with strange arts will come to join in the fun!"

Du Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with great interest, "In this case, let's go and see."

The ghost soldier led Du Qian with a smile, and said: "One of my lord's duties is to guard against the intrusion of practitioners in this thousand-horse gathering, but with his prestige here, few people have dared to come here these years. Making trouble everywhere, and occasionally being a little ignorant, they have all learned a lesson."

Du Qian smiled and said nothing, but thought in his heart, Dong Zirui, as a piece of land, can frighten the cultivators who come here, so the strength must be not low, at least there are a few methods that can make people fearful, otherwise it will not be able to achieve this Effect.

Not long after walking, Du Qian saw a wide street with tall sheds hung with colored silk on both sides. They entered a white silk shed and saw hundreds of people sitting inside, all wearing silk Silk and satin, rich merchants and dignitaries wearing jewelry and jade, and in front of these people is a high platform.

On the high platform, a horse trainer led a pure black horse and showed it to everyone. This horse was a head taller than the ordinary horses Du Qian had seen. The horses had piercing eyes, and their fur was as shiny as brocade. Bright.

There was also a young man wearing a fur hat on the stage, who was making an introduction with a bright tongue, and many people in the audience were moved by him.

"Are there any exotic horses for sale now?" Du Qian asked the pawns beside him.

The ghost soldier replied with an apologetic smile: "What a coincidence, but there is no such thing at this time. The spirit horse is rare, even in our Yanyun City, it will only show up every three to five years, and that time is comparable to now." It will be ten times more lively!"

At this time, the dark horse on the field had already been bid for a price of 3000 taels of gold, but there was still a rising trend, but Du Qian and the ghost pawn went elsewhere.

After turning around, Du Qian found that most of the cars sold here were handsome and extraordinary BMWs, but occasionally there were some other types of mounts.For example, some camels with very extraordinary appearance, tall elk and red deer are also in the ranks of the auction.

"My lord, this Wanma Fair is just a place for business. There is also a horse racing fair in the north of the city. It is even more lively. There are fierce competitions every day. Countless people compete to bet that their favorite horse will win."

But Du Qian shook his head with a smile and said: "It's getting late today, and it's the same when we go to the racetrack tomorrow. Please stay with me for a day, won't it delay my work?"

The ghost soldier quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, adults are worrying too much, and the little ones are fine on weekdays, just in charge of the various places in Yanyun City, as long as nothing major happens."

"Oh?" Du Qian's eyes lit up, and he asked, "If you are in charge of various places, you also know something about the people in the jurisdiction?"

The ghost soldier smiled meaningfully and said, "My lord wants to know about the situation of Brother Wang's family, right?"

Du Qian twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded in recognition.

The ghost soldier patted himself, and said triumphantly: "You can ask the younger one about this, the younger one is usually in charge of them."

Through the introduction of the ghost soldier, Du Qian understood that Wang Kexiu's sister-in-law was originally a girl from a wealthy family in the city. At that time, Wang Kexiu's elder brother happened to be at the age of marriage, but he fell in love with him, so he exchanged this daughter-in-law for a cow and went home.

At the beginning, this daughter-in-law was honest and hardworking, and she worked quickly. Many people praised her, and they were all satisfied. But after she got acquainted with the family's temperament, she acted differently.

She gradually began to bully Wang Kexiu, who was a little silly. His elder brother defended his younger brother at first, but it didn't take long for him to be moved by the wind from his wife's pillow, and he also began to dislike Wang Kexiu.

Faced with this situation, the mothers of the two brothers originally wanted to mediate. However, although the daughter-in-law never treated her mother-in-law badly in terms of food, clothing and service, she never suffered from verbal disputes. , Caught in a dilemma between the two sons.

Gradually, the old man also made his own choice.Because after all, she wants someone to take care of her. Compared with the stupid second son, she thinks that the eldest son is more reliable, so she doesn't say anything. It's just that sometimes she sees that the second son is really being bullied, so she secretly takes care of him. .

Du Qian sneered again and again, but saw the pawn say again: "My lord, there are even more outrageous things. What I told you just now was all learned by the little one, but the following is all the little one saw it with his own eyes."

It turned out that the daughter-in-law was dissatisfied with the life in the countryside, and instigated her husband to sell the property and land, and bought a house in the city. After living in the new house, she was worried that Wang Kexiu would get married and start a business to divide the family property, so she made a wrong idea and tried every means to reconcile with Wang Kexiu. The Zhang family next door made friends.

The Zhang family had a well-to-do family. They were over forty years old but had no children. They had only one daughter, so they planned to find a son-in-law for their daughter. Wang Kexiuping is the son-in-law, and the two families will get married when their daughter turns 15.

As long as Wang Kexiu gets married, it means that he has given up the right to inherit the Wang family. No one in the Wang family objected to this, and they all acquiesced in this matter, but no one has ever informed Wang Kexiu.

"Damn!" Du Qian couldn't help but scolded with his eyes wide open - if you dare to marry the man I like, let's wait and see!

After hearing what the ghost soldier said, Du Qian already had a decision in his heart. Since the whole family has given up their bald heads, and since he lives in an environment where no one cares, then he has no reason not to take action!

"Md, I was still a virgin when I died! Now that I'm a ghost, let's talk about a relationship between people and ghosts!"

Seeing Du Qian's expression, the ghost pawn snickered triumphantly, and was about to speak, but saw a thunder explosion in the west sky out of thin air, and a green firework bloomed in the sky. Now, my lord is asking for help, Lord Du, please take the little one there quickly, it must be the demon horse Yanti on the West Mountain is making trouble again!"
