Qinghua Town Series
Chapter 10
"Brother Wu, officers and soldiers are chasing you."
"Go to the mountains!"
"But in Yunlong Mountain..."
"What's going on inside?"
No one has any objection, no matter how fantastic the legend of Yunlong Mountain is, it is better than being caught by officers and soldiers, so a dozen people fled all the way into the deep mountain pushing a cart full of gold, silver, jade and rare treasures. After walking for a long time, when I stopped, I found that I no longer knew where I was.
Hunger and exhaustion made everyone exhausted, but fortunately the officers and soldiers did not chase after them.
At first they thought that they could always go out according to the original road, but after a few days, they found that the mountain was much bigger than they thought at first, and they didn't know where they went, and there were trees as far as they could see.I made a mark on the tree, but went back to the original place several times.
That carload of priceless treasures became a heavy burden, and everyone's morale fell to the bottom. Some people secretly began to doubt his decision in a low voice.
"If you didn't listen to him and walk in, we must have offended the mountain god of Yunlong Mountain now, so we are trapped here."
"Yeah, if you fight those officers and soldiers, you might still have a chance to live."
"I didn't expect to be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death..."
He pretended not to hear, and continued to look for a way to go out, but it was still fruitless. He remembered that as long as he found the mountain stream, he could walk along it to the outside of Yunlong Mountain.
The crowd dispersed, and the former brothers began to regard him as a sinner and alienate him. The exhaustion, confusion and anxiety of the past few days had accumulated to the point where he could no longer restrain himself. There was only one thought in his heart, that he must be able to go out, and he must bring these birthdays with him. Gang out!
Everyone found a place to rest that day. As usual, he went to look around, hoping to find the mountain stream. As a result, the heavens had eyes, and he really found this stream that foretold the way out.
He hurried back to tell the news to his brothers, starting tomorrow morning, he will be able to return to the cottage soon.
I don't know if he was too excited and excited because he found a way to go back. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and there were rustling sounds in his ears.
He pretended to be asleep, and when the rustling sound subsided, he got up and found that those people were all gathered around the fire and didn't know what to say, so he walked over quietly.
"Brothers almost lost their lives when they robbed so hard. Why do you want to go back?"
"That is, we have been in the mountain for so many days, but no one came to rescue us in the village, is it because they want to leave us here to fend for ourselves?"
"Why don't we divide up these batches of birthdays and find a place to buy a piece of land and a house so that a woman can live in peace of mind."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"But what about Brother Wu?"
"this……"
He stepped on a dead branch on the ground and made a "crack" sound, which surprised these people. When they turned around, all of them had guilty expressions on their faces.
In fact, he also understands that these people are all refugees, and they have no choice but to take refuge in the cottage and become bandits. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life?
"what are you guys saying?"
Those people stood up, the flames were jumping scorchingly, and the figures cast on the ground were in a trance.
One of them stood up, "Brother Wu, we are brothers, as long as you don't stop us, we will also leave you a share, which is enough for you to spend the rest of your life richly."
He squeezed his fist, "What if I say no?"
Keng!
Those people flashed their knives in unison.
It is said that the most deceptive thing in this world is money, which can separate wives and children, destroy families, and turn brothers against each other.
This night was extraordinarily long, so long that he thought that there would never be daylight again. The splashed blood fell like raindrops, and it was still warm on his face, and then gradually turned into ice cold, screaming and wailing became his ears that night. The only sound beside him, the cold flash of the knife, captivated his sight.
When the sunlight penetrated through the luxuriant branches and leaves and illuminated the surroundings, those brothers who used to go through life and death, and used wine as a song, turned into cold corpses.
There were too many birthday cards, and he couldn't take them out of the mountain alone, so he decided to find a place to hide them, and after he went out, he would call the people in the cottage to move them out together.
He found that the mountain stream here was as deep as his waist, so he sank all the boxes containing the birthday cards into the stream, and the stream just covered those boxes. Up close, it's hard to spot something hiding in the water.
After sinking the last box of things into the water, he found that something was left on the shore because the box was broken, so he picked up the rare treasure.
This is a statue of Avalokitesvara carved out of white jade. The Empress Dowager worshiped the Buddha devoutly, but did she know how much hard work was spent on this exquisitely carved Buddha statue with fine jade quality?
He looked at the Guanyin statue, and the words of those people sounded in his mind.
"Any one of these treasures can lead a good life, there are so many here..."
What would happen if so many rare treasures were all owned by one person?
He froze for a moment, wondering why he had such an idea?Although they are bandits, they ask for money not only to support themselves, but also to save more displaced people.
He shook his head, threw the statue of Guanyin into the stream, then raised his head, only to feel that the sunlight was fierce, and everything around him seemed to be shining, and the white light became more and more dazzling, and finally It seemed to invade his mind and let all his thoughts be washed away...
He woke up and found that there was a dead silence around him, what happened?
He sat up, looked around, and was stunned for a moment.
Eyes full of blood, corpses all over the place.
He felt as if he had forgotten something important. Looking at the wounds on the corpses, he vaguely remembered how he slashed at them with a knife, and also vaguely remembered how he moved boxes of belongings away...
He couldn't believe what was happening at the scene in front of him.
"If so many rare treasures are all owned by one person..."
This idea suddenly appeared in his mind, he took two steps back, turned around and ran away like crazy, ran away from this place, ran to the edge of the stream, and splashed the cold water on his face desperately.
no... no...
How could he do such a thing?It is absolutely impossible for him to kill his brother on purpose when he sees Cai!
But what about those birthdates?
He couldn't remember where the birthday gang had gone.
In the next few days, he walked along that mountain stream in a daze, and after walking for an unknown number of days, he finally walked out.
The people in the cottage were very surprised when they saw him appear. When asked what happened these days, he kept silent, as if he had lost his memory, and indeed, he had lost part of his memory. They asked He couldn't tell where his birth date was.
Yunlong Mountain became his nightmare.
The tragic death of those people always appeared in his dreams. He was afraid that someone would go into the mountains to find the birthday card, because he was afraid that they would find the bodies of those people, and he was afraid that they would know that he killed his brother for property, so as long as he asked to enter Shan was looking for the birthday card, but he tried his best to oppose it.
But the people in the cottage still doubted him, they didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly pointed out, and finally he left the cottage and became king himself.
For the next few years, he has been trying to find the lost birthday card, but has been unsuccessful until...
That night, in his cottage, he suddenly saw a figure sneaking around, followed him out, and bumped into that figure.
Slap!Something fell to the ground.
"Yun Niang?"
He saw the other party clearly, and couldn't help being surprised, didn't Yunniang hear that she was dead?For this reason, there were several holidays in the cottages on both sides, but how could she...
"Boss Wu, yes, I'm sorry..." Yun Niang panicked, "Can you not tell others? Ah Liang and I really love each other... I really had to come up with this method..."
Having said that, he realized that it was a fraudulent death... But thinking that these two people were also for the fateful couple, he felt sympathetic and decided not to pursue them anymore.
"Go away, I'll pretend I didn't see you."
"Thank you Boss Wu, thank you..." Yunniang bowed again and again with gratitude.
"Don't thank me, you guys go quickly."
Yun Niang nodded, and bent down to pick up the things that fell on the ground.
Only now did he see clearly that what fell on the ground was a bundle, and the bundle spread out, revealing the gold and silver ingots inside. His eyes froze, and he noticed the official stamps under the gold and silver ingots.
"This is……"
Yun Niang hugged the bundle in her arms, "I picked this up in Yunlong Mountain. If I want to go far away with Ah Liang, I have to prepare some money..."
He remained silent and raised his hand to signal that she could go.
Yunniang hugged the bundle, turned around and walked towards the place where Ah Liang lived. He stood there, turned his dangling right wrist, and with a clang sound, three steel needles protruded from the back of his hand...
A Liang happened to be away from the cottage that day, so he stopped A Liang on the way up the mountain.
"I know everything about you and Yunniang."
A Liang was shocked, his mouth was open and he couldn't speak.
"I didn't want to embarrass you, but Yunniang asked me to tell you that she wants to go to Yunlong Mountain first, and let you wait for her in Qinghua Town."
When Ah Liang heard this, he frowned and scolded angrily, "I told her not to take those things, she can support herself, and she still needs to take such unlucky things..." After thanking him repeatedly, Ah Liang said to him. Go inside Yunlong Mountain.
He secretly followed behind him, and then Ah Liang never came out of Yunlong Mountain...
Kill the first one, there will be a second one, and then it seems like he can't stop, as long as he enters Yunlong Mountain, he feels that the other party will find out his secret.
So after Ah Yi hijacked the person next to the new county magistrate and took him to escape into Yunlong Mountain, he also followed in avoiding people's eyes and ears.On the way, he met Ah Yi who was terrified and running away desperately, as if he had seen something terrifying, but he knew that Ah Yi had no chance to tell others what he saw.
Then came Yan San, Yan San was very good at martial arts, but at that time his attention was all focused on the unconscious person lying on the ground, although he noticed his footsteps, he didn't have time to react.
After finishing Yan San, he found that the person next to the magistrate was no longer alive, which saved him from doing anything.
In the silent woods, he was like this, in order to cover up his momentary ugliness, he took one life after another, even he couldn't stop himself, he didn't even want to let a child go, just because he saw him squatting on the ground Playing with a few emerald beads, and he had seen a few of these emerald beads in Yunniang's bag that contained gold and silver ingots...
However, seeing this Guanyin statue now, all those lost memories came back to life...
Everything is not what I thought.
It was only because of the evil thoughts at that moment that he really thought that he killed his brother for this birthday, and then killed those innocent people...
Wu Wei's hand holding Jade Avalokitesvara trembled, and with a sound of "snap", the delicate jade statue of Avalokitesvara cracked and then shattered. His eyes seemed to be directly facing Wu Wei.
"Ahhhhhh—why?! Why? God you're going to do this to me—ah—"
The stout man raised his head and let out a roar to the sky, mourning, heart-piercing, and full of suppressed emotions, shaking the sky.
After expressing the sad emotions in his chest, Wu Wei calmed down a little bit. He remembered that he saw the white light here before and then lost his memory. Just as he turned around, he wanted to take a closer look at what made him lose his memory. Footsteps came from behind, and at the same time there was a cold and indifferent voice.
"The people who came here in the past... normally I would not take their lives, but the second time..."
Wu Wei turned her head, and then opened her eyes wide, full of surprise and disbelief.
As the figure reflected in his pupils got closer and closer, what remained on his face... was an expression of extreme fear that distorted his facial features.
After Wu Wei fled into Yunlong Mountain, he never came out again. Qin Can and the others never knew the truth about Wu Wei's killing of those people, but they finally found out that killing Yun Niang, A Yi, and A Liang hurt Yan San. As for what happened to Cen Xi at that time, it is still unknown.
Without a leader, Mount Wuxi was like a pan of loose sand, and soon those people came to seek refuge in Heiyun Jiulongzhai.
Boss Yu decided to let Yunniang and A Liang be buried together, just because of those old festivals and implicated a pair of innocent lovers.
Yan San's body was also buried, but there was no name engraved on the tombstone. Looking at the tombstone without any words, Qin Can felt sad.
Yunniang and the others at least have a place to worship, but what about Cen Xi?
Cen Xi is no longer in this world, but there is not even a monument to worship...
That night, Qin Can tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.Finally, he got up, took out some ghost papers, and walked to the cemetery in the back mountain alone. He wanted to burn some paper money for Cen Xi so that he could walk safely on the road to the underworld, but he saw Yan San there.
He is still dressed like that, with high hair, leather boots and short jacket, rough and sassy, he is holding a jar of wine sitting in front of the tombstone without engraving, and there is a small bowl in front of him. Fill the bowl, lift it up, and pour it in front of the tombstone, repeating this.
I don't know whether he is worshiping the soul that has not left a name, or the body that has turned into dust and returned to dust.
Qin Can stood there watching for a while without making a sound, then walked away silently, clutching the pile of ghost paper in his hand, but did not burn it to anyone.
On the mountain road at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, a carriage came slowly. In the early morning, before the sun was driving, there was a thin layer of mist in the mountains, and several figures appeared on the cliff halfway up the mountain.
"Third Master, I've inquired about it, it's a fat sheep."
When Yan San heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he shouldered the green calf knife, "Come on, let's make a big pen today!"
"Okay!" His subordinates cheered and whistled, and came down from the cliff one after another, blocking the mountain road where the carriage was going to go, and stood in a posture.
Only then did Yan San calmly step and step on the pine branches and stones on the cliff, and finally landed on the mountain road safely.He stopped in the middle of the road, and stabbed the green calf knife into the ground. As soon as he stood still, the carriage came out of the corner and appeared in sight.
Seeing someone blocking the front, the driver stopped the horse with a "wow", and immediately there was a cursing voice from inside the carriage.
"W-why did it stop again? How do you get to the resting place before dark?"
The driver turned his head and said towards the inside of the carriage, "Master, it's not that I want to stop, it's because someone is blocking the way."
"What did you say?"
"Master, I'm afraid we have encountered bandits."
As soon as the coachman finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was thrown open, and a man with a fat head and big ears and a vulgar appearance came down from above.
The man's face was red after drinking too much alcohol, his arms were big and his waist was round, and he had a belly that seemed to be pregnant. There was also a longevity lock hanging around his neck like a child, but the size was much larger.He wears a blood jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, and rings inlaid with emeralds, Nanyang Yuanbao and Nanyang Hongbao on the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand respectively.
Looking at the appearance, it was indeed a fat sheep, and the words "wealthy and powerful" were almost written on his face. Yan San nodded, very satisfied with the deal.
The man walked up to them with his belly outstretched, put his hands on his hips, and shouted roughly, "Who are you? Do you know what I'm from? Dare, dare to block my way, no, I don't want to live anymore ?"
Yan Sanji sneered at the beginning, and then said seriously, "Heiyun...Kowloon Walled."
Usually, as long as you hear the name Heiyun Jiulongzhai, the other party will obediently offer you the toll no matter how unwilling you are, but this fat sheep in front of you doesn't know if it's the first time to come to Yunlong Mountain, or it's really drunk. His ancestors didn't even recognize him, not only did he not recognize him, but when he saw Yan San, he narrowed his eyes, "Hey" and walked in front of Yan San.
"You look so handsome, what kind of bandit are you? If you don't follow my uncle, you will be left with all the delicacies of mountains and seas in the future."
As he spoke, he stretched out a fat pig's hand, no, it was a fat sheep's trotter, and touched Yan San's face.
In an instant, those people behind Yan San were all petrified, and then volcanoes erupted in their hearts.
What did they see?
That person actually molested their third master...
Not only flirting but also doing it...
Then lament together, he, it's over!
Yan San was touched by him for a while, but there was no reaction on his face, he just raised his chin, "Delicate silk and satin from mountains and seas...is it?"
The fat sheep rubbed its hands and laughed even more when it saw something interesting, "Yes, yes! Follow me, do you want anything?"
As he said that, he wanted to stretch out the fat sheep's hoof again, this time to hold Yan San's hand, but there was a "bang", and the fat sheep screamed "Ouch", covered his eyes and took two steps back, let go of the cover The hand with the eyes was surprised to see a pool of bright red on the palm, which was disfigured by a punch, so he became angry, "Bah bah" spit on the palm twice, and rolled up his sleeves.
"Mom, I'm so shameless, let's see how the master cleans up...ah!"
Before he finished speaking, Yan San walked up, punched him in the face on the other side, turned around and kicked Fat Sheep in the belly, and after a long time, "cracking" came from over there. The sound of fists and kicks, and occasionally one or two screams of fat sheep.
Yan San put away his fists after being beaten so hard, and after taking off the longevity lock on Fat Sheep's neck and the rings on his fingers, he kicked him angrily, and then left angrily.
Seeing the situation, the coachman had already fled without a trace, and his subordinates were not in a hurry to follow after seeing that their boss was gone. They walked to the carriage with a smile and went to inspect the goods, completely ignoring the bruised and swollen face who was slumped there like a pile of rotten meat. people.
"Yo, this man is really a fat sheep."
"It is said that the nephew of a high-ranking official in Yangzhou committed a crime there. Seeing that his uncle could not keep him, he fled here with his belongings to avoid the limelight."
"No wonder you are so ignorant!"
"Yeah, even the third head of our Heiyun Jiulongzhai dared to moleste, it's really desperate..."
Everyone was silent for a while, only the sound of moving things came, and after a while there was another sound.
"Actually, Mr. Cen is really good-looking..."
Then there was another silence, and a group of people pushed the cart full of boxes and walked up the mountain.
"Be careful to be heard by the third master, and throw you to the back mountain to feed the wolves."
Qin Can was woken up early in the morning by the noise outside. The sound came from the Hall of Loyalty. Qin Can put on his clothes and went out. The cargo cart, and Yan San was sitting on the top like an eagle, holding a few shiny golden things and tossing them up and down.
Qin Can stepped forward and found that those boxes were full of valuables such as gold and silver jewelry, pearl chains, and emeralds. He immediately understood what they had done and raised his head.
"Yan San, are you going to rob again?"
Yan San glanced at him, "You don't care."
Qin Can can always be aroused by his attitude, "Why don't you care, you...you...uuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Someone at the side quickly grabbed Qin Can and covered his mouth, "Brother Qin, please don't say a few words, the brothers also left you a daughter-in-law copy."
Bao Ze was not so kind, so many things happened in Heiyun Jiulongzhai, and the third family was finally able to "return to the rivers and lakes" to go down the mountain for business, but he was molested by others. Finally, his mood improved a little, so don't be messed with by this idiot again up.
But Qin Can was not willing to give up, he broke free and saw those people playing with emerald chains and bracelets in their hands, snatched them off one by one and threw them into the box, closing the box with a snap.
"How can you use Cen Xi's appearance to rob? You are insulting Cen Xi!"
Yan San jumped off the pile of goods and stood in front of him, "Why?"
Qin Can's shoulders shook, "Cen Xi is not a bandit!"
Yan San smiled, "But Yan San is a bandit."
Qin Can's eyes widened slightly, and he pointed at the tip of Yan San's nose, "I don't care who you Yan San are, anyway, you are not allowed to snatch it like this from today on!"
"It's so noisy!"
Qin Can felt pain in the back of his neck, and heard Yan San say again: "Throw this stupid monkey out!"
Then I don't know anything.
When he regained consciousness, Qin Can felt something wet licking his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw an enlarged dog's face appearing in front of him.
"Go!"
Qin Can drove the dog away, then got up from the ground, and patted the dust all over his body. Why did he feel strange around him?
He found that there was a bag stuffed in his arms, and he had been holding it unconsciously just now. Looking carefully, it seemed to be the one he carried when he came to Yunlong Mountain.
Opened it, and inside were his official seal and talisman, as well as a letter of appointment, and a bag of silver, which was the taels given to them by Boss Yu at that time.
Qin Can was a little confused, and then noticed what was in front of him.
Looking up, I found that I was in front of a dilapidated house with broken door panels falling off and dangling in the wind.
The lion at the gate of the house lost its head, and fell to the ground with its grievances, and the plaque above the gate was also slanted, with two characters written on it squarely——
County government.

Back cover text:
"Bring something!"
"What?" Yan San still wanted to fool around.
Qin Can turned his head away and took a deep breath, then turned around, "What are you doing in the room?"
"Is it okay to go wrong?" Yan San couldn't be fooled and wanted to argue.
Qin Can didn't talk too much with him, so he stretched out his hand unexpectedly,
Grabbing the hand behind his back to the front, Yan San was holding the butterfly cup in his hand.
"Tell me, what are you doing with this?"
Yan San showed an annoyed expression, his brows were furrowed, he didn't speak directly with his fists like before,
It seems that he knows in his heart that he is wrong, but he refuses to admit it on the surface.
Qin Can looked at it and thought it was much cuter.
Butterfly Cup 1
"Every magistrate here can't stay here for more than a year..."
In the dark kitchen, the walls and the stove were covered with thick grease, and there were some rotten vegetables and leaves piled up in the corners, exuding a rotten smell.An old man with gray hair and a stooped figure was scooping something from the pot on the stove, and putting it into a broken bowl.
"The upright and honest people were tossed away by the bandits on the mountain, and the treacherous and greedy were also tossed away by the group on the mountain..."
The old man shook his head, "It's fine if you leave Qingjing, there is no big difference between having a county magistrate and not having a county magistrate." Holding the broken bowl, he turned around, "Come on, magistrate, let's eat."
Qin Can was in the fog, and when he heard this sentence, he raised his hand to pick up the bowl, who would have thought that the old man walked past him tremblingly, and there was the sound of "tattling" footsteps outside, and after a while, The previous big yellow dog who was licking his face with its mouth open and drooling "ha, ha" ran in from the outside. It ran so fast that it felt that all four feet were off the ground, and it bent for a while. I can't turn around.
The old man put the bowl on the ground, "I'm begging for some broken bones from the pork seller today, the county magistrate, you are lucky today..." Patted the big yellow dog on the head, "Hey, eat slowly."
The big yellow dog didn't care what the old man said, it had already moved up to it, buried its face in the bowl and ate "snoring", the tail behind its buttocks was shaking like it was about to fall off.
With a strange expression on Qin Can's face, he pointed to the big yellow dog on the ground that was eating happily, "It's called... the magistrate?"
The old man straightened up and laughed, "Yeah, it has been in the county government office since it was a puppy, and it never goes anywhere. Every morning, it walks around the courtroom. , he is much more competent than those revolving county magistrates.”
"..."
Qin Can looked at the dog, then at the door of the kitchen, completely speechless.
Although he was psychologically prepared at the beginning, Qin Can did not expect that the county government office in Longtai County was such a dilapidated place. When he walked in from the door, he almost had the illusion of walking into a deserted house.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, he was tripped by a water and fire stick across the door. Qin Can walked inside in disbelief. All he saw was a picture of broken walls and rotten tiles, with cobwebs everywhere. The red paint on the gate and the pillars was so mottled that it was almost gone, and there was a huge hole in the roof above the courtroom.
A few mice crawled around under the desk, and when Qin Can walked up the steps, they scattered and fled, and one of them ran away by rubbing against his boots.
Qin Can lowered his waist, picked up the sticks on the ground and the scattered torture sticks, and put them back on the desk. The sticks fell on the table and made a light "click", which was particularly crisp and loud in this empty place. , but aroused circles of loneliness like ripples, scattered to every corner.
Qin Can walked through the corridor and met an old man dressed like a beggar in the back room. He was chopping firewood with his hands shaking. Picking up the piece of wood, "Who are you looking for?"
"I... I am the new magistrate of Longtai County."
Hearing what Qin Can said, the movement of the old man's hands stopped for a while, and then he couldn't tell whether he was lamenting or shaking his head helplessly. He picked up the firewood on the ground and walked unsteadily into the room behind him. So there was the opening scene.
Qin Can learned from the old man that the old man used to work in the kitchen of the county government office. Get him one.
He has no place to go when he is old, so he still has a place to shelter from the wind and rain if he stays here, so he makes a living by helping people carry firewood and picking up leftovers from other people's food.
night.
Lying in the musty smelling room in the back of the county office, Qin Can didn't feel sleepy.
The room was also a mess, the tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of gray and white, like cobwebs, hanging down from the beams in disorder in layers.
It took him half a day to forcefully clear out the bed. The little prince, who had never experienced such hardship in the capital before, felt like retreating in the dead of night.
The roof tiles that have been in disrepair for years leaked one small hole after another, and the shining starlight and the watery moonlight fell through them, leaving staggered thin beams of light and mottled light in the dark room. point.
There was a rustling movement on the other side of the table, accompanied by a few "squeaks", and suddenly there was a "squeak", something heavy fell from the table to the ground, and the "squeak" sound rushed to the corner Spread out, and after a while, the voices sounded again, and all gathered at the table.
Qin Can saw a few mice on the ground gnawing on his bag through the leaked light. Qin Can remembered that there seemed to be some dry food in the bag.
Forget it, let them go.
Qin Can didn't care about it, he wanted to leave here, even if the crown prince allowed him to become an official in the court, it would be a hundred times better than staying here, he suddenly missed his old days, the beauty was picturesque, the wind and the moon were boundless, now it's just a big difference don't.
But if he went back, how would he have the face to face Mrs. Cen, and how would he explain to Cen Xi's relatives that he brought a living person out and ended up getting lost like this...?
No, it's not completely gone...
That bastard Yan San is using Cen Xi's body to continue to be his bandit.
So irresistible, all kinds of bloody and cruel images emerged and filled my mind.
Under the rain of blood, Cen Xi's expression was cold, his eyes raised and lowered the knife indifferently, a few spots of bright red splashed on his fair cheeks, like cinnabar on purpose, revealing seductiveness, while the green calf knife was winding The circulating blood, I don't know if it took the lives of hundreds or thousands of people to dye it that color...
The man who was always polite, courteous, and economical turned into a greedy and fierce robber. Only a box full of treasures can make him happy, and he tirelessly pursues the pleasure brought by plundering...
No!
Qin Can sat up suddenly, and the mice on the ground who were eating dry food were frightened by his movement and fled in all directions.
Qin Can got up to hold the lamp, and searched around in the room. The rats, insects and ants hiding in the corners of the room were frightened and ran around. Finally, Qin Can found pens, inks, papers and inkstones that seemed to be usable in a cabinet, and walked back to the desk. Before, spread out the paper on the table, ponder while grinding, then pick up a pen and start writing on the paper...
Butterfly Cup 2
Notice:
Now that the new magistrate of Longtai County has arrived, he intends to clean up the folk customs in Longtai County. Here, we are recruiting some yamen servants and arresters, and the salary is generous. Please feel free to tell me.
In the early morning of the next day, a piece of paper was pasted at the gate of the Longtai County Government Office in Qinghua Town.
The door of the county yamen was pushed back, and the drum of grievances was erected again. Although the head of the stone lion at the door was still missing, there was somewhat the solemn atmosphere that a yamen should have.
It's just that there are people coming and going at the gate of the county government office, some people set up stalls and yell, some people care about a few pennies, some people push carts and pull cattle past the door, but no one comes forward to take a look at this notice, as if this piece of paper Together with the county government behind them, it seemed as if they had disappeared out of thin air from their sight.
Qin Can posted the notice early in the morning, and then waited for people to come in neatly dressed in official uniform.But after the middle of the day, no one came to apply for the job, not even the daily workers.
Qin Can paced back and forth until his legs were sore. He looked at the sun in the sky and comforted himself. Maybe they slept until noon and just woke up, and maybe someone came in the afternoon.
At the time of the day, the county magistrate was sitting there, holding his face in his hands and playing with the torture sticks in the stick boredly. Bones and the big yellow dog named Xian Taiye pass the lonely time together.
No one appeared until sunset, and Qin Can, who had been waiting all day, had already dozed off on the table, with the county magistrate curled up next to him, whose head was mostly covered by an official hat.
"grown ups……"
Qin Can didn't hear it.
"grown ups……?"
Qin Can continued to snort, and waved his hands impatiently.
"grown ups!"
Qin Can knocked his head on the table and woke up in a daze, "W-what's the matter?"
Dazedly, he saw a person standing below him, he immediately came to his senses, took off his official hat and put it on, then stuck out his head and smiled.
"Are you here to apply? Do you want to be a yamen servant or a fast arrester? A fast arrester needs to be in good health and have good skills. I see that you are a bit thin, so why don't you just become a yamen servant? The salary is not as high as that of a fast arrester, but it is good." You don't have to run around here and there, and life is easy." Qin Can said a lot to himself, and he was full of enthusiasm.
"Go to the mountains!"
"But in Yunlong Mountain..."
"What's going on inside?"
No one has any objection, no matter how fantastic the legend of Yunlong Mountain is, it is better than being caught by officers and soldiers, so a dozen people fled all the way into the deep mountain pushing a cart full of gold, silver, jade and rare treasures. After walking for a long time, when I stopped, I found that I no longer knew where I was.
Hunger and exhaustion made everyone exhausted, but fortunately the officers and soldiers did not chase after them.
At first they thought that they could always go out according to the original road, but after a few days, they found that the mountain was much bigger than they thought at first, and they didn't know where they went, and there were trees as far as they could see.I made a mark on the tree, but went back to the original place several times.
That carload of priceless treasures became a heavy burden, and everyone's morale fell to the bottom. Some people secretly began to doubt his decision in a low voice.
"If you didn't listen to him and walk in, we must have offended the mountain god of Yunlong Mountain now, so we are trapped here."
"Yeah, if you fight those officers and soldiers, you might still have a chance to live."
"I didn't expect to be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death..."
He pretended not to hear, and continued to look for a way to go out, but it was still fruitless. He remembered that as long as he found the mountain stream, he could walk along it to the outside of Yunlong Mountain.
The crowd dispersed, and the former brothers began to regard him as a sinner and alienate him. The exhaustion, confusion and anxiety of the past few days had accumulated to the point where he could no longer restrain himself. There was only one thought in his heart, that he must be able to go out, and he must bring these birthdays with him. Gang out!
Everyone found a place to rest that day. As usual, he went to look around, hoping to find the mountain stream. As a result, the heavens had eyes, and he really found this stream that foretold the way out.
He hurried back to tell the news to his brothers, starting tomorrow morning, he will be able to return to the cottage soon.
I don't know if he was too excited and excited because he found a way to go back. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and there were rustling sounds in his ears.
He pretended to be asleep, and when the rustling sound subsided, he got up and found that those people were all gathered around the fire and didn't know what to say, so he walked over quietly.
"Brothers almost lost their lives when they robbed so hard. Why do you want to go back?"
"That is, we have been in the mountain for so many days, but no one came to rescue us in the village, is it because they want to leave us here to fend for ourselves?"
"Why don't we divide up these batches of birthdays and find a place to buy a piece of land and a house so that a woman can live in peace of mind."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"But what about Brother Wu?"
"this……"
He stepped on a dead branch on the ground and made a "crack" sound, which surprised these people. When they turned around, all of them had guilty expressions on their faces.
In fact, he also understands that these people are all refugees, and they have no choice but to take refuge in the cottage and become bandits. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life?
"what are you guys saying?"
Those people stood up, the flames were jumping scorchingly, and the figures cast on the ground were in a trance.
One of them stood up, "Brother Wu, we are brothers, as long as you don't stop us, we will also leave you a share, which is enough for you to spend the rest of your life richly."
He squeezed his fist, "What if I say no?"
Keng!
Those people flashed their knives in unison.
It is said that the most deceptive thing in this world is money, which can separate wives and children, destroy families, and turn brothers against each other.
This night was extraordinarily long, so long that he thought that there would never be daylight again. The splashed blood fell like raindrops, and it was still warm on his face, and then gradually turned into ice cold, screaming and wailing became his ears that night. The only sound beside him, the cold flash of the knife, captivated his sight.
When the sunlight penetrated through the luxuriant branches and leaves and illuminated the surroundings, those brothers who used to go through life and death, and used wine as a song, turned into cold corpses.
There were too many birthday cards, and he couldn't take them out of the mountain alone, so he decided to find a place to hide them, and after he went out, he would call the people in the cottage to move them out together.
He found that the mountain stream here was as deep as his waist, so he sank all the boxes containing the birthday cards into the stream, and the stream just covered those boxes. Up close, it's hard to spot something hiding in the water.
After sinking the last box of things into the water, he found that something was left on the shore because the box was broken, so he picked up the rare treasure.
This is a statue of Avalokitesvara carved out of white jade. The Empress Dowager worshiped the Buddha devoutly, but did she know how much hard work was spent on this exquisitely carved Buddha statue with fine jade quality?
He looked at the Guanyin statue, and the words of those people sounded in his mind.
"Any one of these treasures can lead a good life, there are so many here..."
What would happen if so many rare treasures were all owned by one person?
He froze for a moment, wondering why he had such an idea?Although they are bandits, they ask for money not only to support themselves, but also to save more displaced people.
He shook his head, threw the statue of Guanyin into the stream, then raised his head, only to feel that the sunlight was fierce, and everything around him seemed to be shining, and the white light became more and more dazzling, and finally It seemed to invade his mind and let all his thoughts be washed away...
He woke up and found that there was a dead silence around him, what happened?
He sat up, looked around, and was stunned for a moment.
Eyes full of blood, corpses all over the place.
He felt as if he had forgotten something important. Looking at the wounds on the corpses, he vaguely remembered how he slashed at them with a knife, and also vaguely remembered how he moved boxes of belongings away...
He couldn't believe what was happening at the scene in front of him.
"If so many rare treasures are all owned by one person..."
This idea suddenly appeared in his mind, he took two steps back, turned around and ran away like crazy, ran away from this place, ran to the edge of the stream, and splashed the cold water on his face desperately.
no... no...
How could he do such a thing?It is absolutely impossible for him to kill his brother on purpose when he sees Cai!
But what about those birthdates?
He couldn't remember where the birthday gang had gone.
In the next few days, he walked along that mountain stream in a daze, and after walking for an unknown number of days, he finally walked out.
The people in the cottage were very surprised when they saw him appear. When asked what happened these days, he kept silent, as if he had lost his memory, and indeed, he had lost part of his memory. They asked He couldn't tell where his birth date was.
Yunlong Mountain became his nightmare.
The tragic death of those people always appeared in his dreams. He was afraid that someone would go into the mountains to find the birthday card, because he was afraid that they would find the bodies of those people, and he was afraid that they would know that he killed his brother for property, so as long as he asked to enter Shan was looking for the birthday card, but he tried his best to oppose it.
But the people in the cottage still doubted him, they didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly pointed out, and finally he left the cottage and became king himself.
For the next few years, he has been trying to find the lost birthday card, but has been unsuccessful until...
That night, in his cottage, he suddenly saw a figure sneaking around, followed him out, and bumped into that figure.
Slap!Something fell to the ground.
"Yun Niang?"
He saw the other party clearly, and couldn't help being surprised, didn't Yunniang hear that she was dead?For this reason, there were several holidays in the cottages on both sides, but how could she...
"Boss Wu, yes, I'm sorry..." Yun Niang panicked, "Can you not tell others? Ah Liang and I really love each other... I really had to come up with this method..."
Having said that, he realized that it was a fraudulent death... But thinking that these two people were also for the fateful couple, he felt sympathetic and decided not to pursue them anymore.
"Go away, I'll pretend I didn't see you."
"Thank you Boss Wu, thank you..." Yunniang bowed again and again with gratitude.
"Don't thank me, you guys go quickly."
Yun Niang nodded, and bent down to pick up the things that fell on the ground.
Only now did he see clearly that what fell on the ground was a bundle, and the bundle spread out, revealing the gold and silver ingots inside. His eyes froze, and he noticed the official stamps under the gold and silver ingots.
"This is……"
Yun Niang hugged the bundle in her arms, "I picked this up in Yunlong Mountain. If I want to go far away with Ah Liang, I have to prepare some money..."
He remained silent and raised his hand to signal that she could go.
Yunniang hugged the bundle, turned around and walked towards the place where Ah Liang lived. He stood there, turned his dangling right wrist, and with a clang sound, three steel needles protruded from the back of his hand...
A Liang happened to be away from the cottage that day, so he stopped A Liang on the way up the mountain.
"I know everything about you and Yunniang."
A Liang was shocked, his mouth was open and he couldn't speak.
"I didn't want to embarrass you, but Yunniang asked me to tell you that she wants to go to Yunlong Mountain first, and let you wait for her in Qinghua Town."
When Ah Liang heard this, he frowned and scolded angrily, "I told her not to take those things, she can support herself, and she still needs to take such unlucky things..." After thanking him repeatedly, Ah Liang said to him. Go inside Yunlong Mountain.
He secretly followed behind him, and then Ah Liang never came out of Yunlong Mountain...
Kill the first one, there will be a second one, and then it seems like he can't stop, as long as he enters Yunlong Mountain, he feels that the other party will find out his secret.
So after Ah Yi hijacked the person next to the new county magistrate and took him to escape into Yunlong Mountain, he also followed in avoiding people's eyes and ears.On the way, he met Ah Yi who was terrified and running away desperately, as if he had seen something terrifying, but he knew that Ah Yi had no chance to tell others what he saw.
Then came Yan San, Yan San was very good at martial arts, but at that time his attention was all focused on the unconscious person lying on the ground, although he noticed his footsteps, he didn't have time to react.
After finishing Yan San, he found that the person next to the magistrate was no longer alive, which saved him from doing anything.
In the silent woods, he was like this, in order to cover up his momentary ugliness, he took one life after another, even he couldn't stop himself, he didn't even want to let a child go, just because he saw him squatting on the ground Playing with a few emerald beads, and he had seen a few of these emerald beads in Yunniang's bag that contained gold and silver ingots...
However, seeing this Guanyin statue now, all those lost memories came back to life...
Everything is not what I thought.
It was only because of the evil thoughts at that moment that he really thought that he killed his brother for this birthday, and then killed those innocent people...
Wu Wei's hand holding Jade Avalokitesvara trembled, and with a sound of "snap", the delicate jade statue of Avalokitesvara cracked and then shattered. His eyes seemed to be directly facing Wu Wei.
"Ahhhhhh—why?! Why? God you're going to do this to me—ah—"
The stout man raised his head and let out a roar to the sky, mourning, heart-piercing, and full of suppressed emotions, shaking the sky.
After expressing the sad emotions in his chest, Wu Wei calmed down a little bit. He remembered that he saw the white light here before and then lost his memory. Just as he turned around, he wanted to take a closer look at what made him lose his memory. Footsteps came from behind, and at the same time there was a cold and indifferent voice.
"The people who came here in the past... normally I would not take their lives, but the second time..."
Wu Wei turned her head, and then opened her eyes wide, full of surprise and disbelief.
As the figure reflected in his pupils got closer and closer, what remained on his face... was an expression of extreme fear that distorted his facial features.
After Wu Wei fled into Yunlong Mountain, he never came out again. Qin Can and the others never knew the truth about Wu Wei's killing of those people, but they finally found out that killing Yun Niang, A Yi, and A Liang hurt Yan San. As for what happened to Cen Xi at that time, it is still unknown.
Without a leader, Mount Wuxi was like a pan of loose sand, and soon those people came to seek refuge in Heiyun Jiulongzhai.
Boss Yu decided to let Yunniang and A Liang be buried together, just because of those old festivals and implicated a pair of innocent lovers.
Yan San's body was also buried, but there was no name engraved on the tombstone. Looking at the tombstone without any words, Qin Can felt sad.
Yunniang and the others at least have a place to worship, but what about Cen Xi?
Cen Xi is no longer in this world, but there is not even a monument to worship...
That night, Qin Can tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.Finally, he got up, took out some ghost papers, and walked to the cemetery in the back mountain alone. He wanted to burn some paper money for Cen Xi so that he could walk safely on the road to the underworld, but he saw Yan San there.
He is still dressed like that, with high hair, leather boots and short jacket, rough and sassy, he is holding a jar of wine sitting in front of the tombstone without engraving, and there is a small bowl in front of him. Fill the bowl, lift it up, and pour it in front of the tombstone, repeating this.
I don't know whether he is worshiping the soul that has not left a name, or the body that has turned into dust and returned to dust.
Qin Can stood there watching for a while without making a sound, then walked away silently, clutching the pile of ghost paper in his hand, but did not burn it to anyone.
On the mountain road at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, a carriage came slowly. In the early morning, before the sun was driving, there was a thin layer of mist in the mountains, and several figures appeared on the cliff halfway up the mountain.
"Third Master, I've inquired about it, it's a fat sheep."
When Yan San heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he shouldered the green calf knife, "Come on, let's make a big pen today!"
"Okay!" His subordinates cheered and whistled, and came down from the cliff one after another, blocking the mountain road where the carriage was going to go, and stood in a posture.
Only then did Yan San calmly step and step on the pine branches and stones on the cliff, and finally landed on the mountain road safely.He stopped in the middle of the road, and stabbed the green calf knife into the ground. As soon as he stood still, the carriage came out of the corner and appeared in sight.
Seeing someone blocking the front, the driver stopped the horse with a "wow", and immediately there was a cursing voice from inside the carriage.
"W-why did it stop again? How do you get to the resting place before dark?"
The driver turned his head and said towards the inside of the carriage, "Master, it's not that I want to stop, it's because someone is blocking the way."
"What did you say?"
"Master, I'm afraid we have encountered bandits."
As soon as the coachman finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was thrown open, and a man with a fat head and big ears and a vulgar appearance came down from above.
The man's face was red after drinking too much alcohol, his arms were big and his waist was round, and he had a belly that seemed to be pregnant. There was also a longevity lock hanging around his neck like a child, but the size was much larger.He wears a blood jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, and rings inlaid with emeralds, Nanyang Yuanbao and Nanyang Hongbao on the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand respectively.
Looking at the appearance, it was indeed a fat sheep, and the words "wealthy and powerful" were almost written on his face. Yan San nodded, very satisfied with the deal.
The man walked up to them with his belly outstretched, put his hands on his hips, and shouted roughly, "Who are you? Do you know what I'm from? Dare, dare to block my way, no, I don't want to live anymore ?"
Yan Sanji sneered at the beginning, and then said seriously, "Heiyun...Kowloon Walled."
Usually, as long as you hear the name Heiyun Jiulongzhai, the other party will obediently offer you the toll no matter how unwilling you are, but this fat sheep in front of you doesn't know if it's the first time to come to Yunlong Mountain, or it's really drunk. His ancestors didn't even recognize him, not only did he not recognize him, but when he saw Yan San, he narrowed his eyes, "Hey" and walked in front of Yan San.
"You look so handsome, what kind of bandit are you? If you don't follow my uncle, you will be left with all the delicacies of mountains and seas in the future."
As he spoke, he stretched out a fat pig's hand, no, it was a fat sheep's trotter, and touched Yan San's face.
In an instant, those people behind Yan San were all petrified, and then volcanoes erupted in their hearts.
What did they see?
That person actually molested their third master...
Not only flirting but also doing it...
Then lament together, he, it's over!
Yan San was touched by him for a while, but there was no reaction on his face, he just raised his chin, "Delicate silk and satin from mountains and seas...is it?"
The fat sheep rubbed its hands and laughed even more when it saw something interesting, "Yes, yes! Follow me, do you want anything?"
As he said that, he wanted to stretch out the fat sheep's hoof again, this time to hold Yan San's hand, but there was a "bang", and the fat sheep screamed "Ouch", covered his eyes and took two steps back, let go of the cover The hand with the eyes was surprised to see a pool of bright red on the palm, which was disfigured by a punch, so he became angry, "Bah bah" spit on the palm twice, and rolled up his sleeves.
"Mom, I'm so shameless, let's see how the master cleans up...ah!"
Before he finished speaking, Yan San walked up, punched him in the face on the other side, turned around and kicked Fat Sheep in the belly, and after a long time, "cracking" came from over there. The sound of fists and kicks, and occasionally one or two screams of fat sheep.
Yan San put away his fists after being beaten so hard, and after taking off the longevity lock on Fat Sheep's neck and the rings on his fingers, he kicked him angrily, and then left angrily.
Seeing the situation, the coachman had already fled without a trace, and his subordinates were not in a hurry to follow after seeing that their boss was gone. They walked to the carriage with a smile and went to inspect the goods, completely ignoring the bruised and swollen face who was slumped there like a pile of rotten meat. people.
"Yo, this man is really a fat sheep."
"It is said that the nephew of a high-ranking official in Yangzhou committed a crime there. Seeing that his uncle could not keep him, he fled here with his belongings to avoid the limelight."
"No wonder you are so ignorant!"
"Yeah, even the third head of our Heiyun Jiulongzhai dared to moleste, it's really desperate..."
Everyone was silent for a while, only the sound of moving things came, and after a while there was another sound.
"Actually, Mr. Cen is really good-looking..."
Then there was another silence, and a group of people pushed the cart full of boxes and walked up the mountain.
"Be careful to be heard by the third master, and throw you to the back mountain to feed the wolves."
Qin Can was woken up early in the morning by the noise outside. The sound came from the Hall of Loyalty. Qin Can put on his clothes and went out. The cargo cart, and Yan San was sitting on the top like an eagle, holding a few shiny golden things and tossing them up and down.
Qin Can stepped forward and found that those boxes were full of valuables such as gold and silver jewelry, pearl chains, and emeralds. He immediately understood what they had done and raised his head.
"Yan San, are you going to rob again?"
Yan San glanced at him, "You don't care."
Qin Can can always be aroused by his attitude, "Why don't you care, you...you...uuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Someone at the side quickly grabbed Qin Can and covered his mouth, "Brother Qin, please don't say a few words, the brothers also left you a daughter-in-law copy."
Bao Ze was not so kind, so many things happened in Heiyun Jiulongzhai, and the third family was finally able to "return to the rivers and lakes" to go down the mountain for business, but he was molested by others. Finally, his mood improved a little, so don't be messed with by this idiot again up.
But Qin Can was not willing to give up, he broke free and saw those people playing with emerald chains and bracelets in their hands, snatched them off one by one and threw them into the box, closing the box with a snap.
"How can you use Cen Xi's appearance to rob? You are insulting Cen Xi!"
Yan San jumped off the pile of goods and stood in front of him, "Why?"
Qin Can's shoulders shook, "Cen Xi is not a bandit!"
Yan San smiled, "But Yan San is a bandit."
Qin Can's eyes widened slightly, and he pointed at the tip of Yan San's nose, "I don't care who you Yan San are, anyway, you are not allowed to snatch it like this from today on!"
"It's so noisy!"
Qin Can felt pain in the back of his neck, and heard Yan San say again: "Throw this stupid monkey out!"
Then I don't know anything.
When he regained consciousness, Qin Can felt something wet licking his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw an enlarged dog's face appearing in front of him.
"Go!"
Qin Can drove the dog away, then got up from the ground, and patted the dust all over his body. Why did he feel strange around him?
He found that there was a bag stuffed in his arms, and he had been holding it unconsciously just now. Looking carefully, it seemed to be the one he carried when he came to Yunlong Mountain.
Opened it, and inside were his official seal and talisman, as well as a letter of appointment, and a bag of silver, which was the taels given to them by Boss Yu at that time.
Qin Can was a little confused, and then noticed what was in front of him.
Looking up, I found that I was in front of a dilapidated house with broken door panels falling off and dangling in the wind.
The lion at the gate of the house lost its head, and fell to the ground with its grievances, and the plaque above the gate was also slanted, with two characters written on it squarely——
County government.

Back cover text:
"Bring something!"
"What?" Yan San still wanted to fool around.
Qin Can turned his head away and took a deep breath, then turned around, "What are you doing in the room?"
"Is it okay to go wrong?" Yan San couldn't be fooled and wanted to argue.
Qin Can didn't talk too much with him, so he stretched out his hand unexpectedly,
Grabbing the hand behind his back to the front, Yan San was holding the butterfly cup in his hand.
"Tell me, what are you doing with this?"
Yan San showed an annoyed expression, his brows were furrowed, he didn't speak directly with his fists like before,
It seems that he knows in his heart that he is wrong, but he refuses to admit it on the surface.
Qin Can looked at it and thought it was much cuter.
Butterfly Cup 1
"Every magistrate here can't stay here for more than a year..."
In the dark kitchen, the walls and the stove were covered with thick grease, and there were some rotten vegetables and leaves piled up in the corners, exuding a rotten smell.An old man with gray hair and a stooped figure was scooping something from the pot on the stove, and putting it into a broken bowl.
"The upright and honest people were tossed away by the bandits on the mountain, and the treacherous and greedy were also tossed away by the group on the mountain..."
The old man shook his head, "It's fine if you leave Qingjing, there is no big difference between having a county magistrate and not having a county magistrate." Holding the broken bowl, he turned around, "Come on, magistrate, let's eat."
Qin Can was in the fog, and when he heard this sentence, he raised his hand to pick up the bowl, who would have thought that the old man walked past him tremblingly, and there was the sound of "tattling" footsteps outside, and after a while, The previous big yellow dog who was licking his face with its mouth open and drooling "ha, ha" ran in from the outside. It ran so fast that it felt that all four feet were off the ground, and it bent for a while. I can't turn around.
The old man put the bowl on the ground, "I'm begging for some broken bones from the pork seller today, the county magistrate, you are lucky today..." Patted the big yellow dog on the head, "Hey, eat slowly."
The big yellow dog didn't care what the old man said, it had already moved up to it, buried its face in the bowl and ate "snoring", the tail behind its buttocks was shaking like it was about to fall off.
With a strange expression on Qin Can's face, he pointed to the big yellow dog on the ground that was eating happily, "It's called... the magistrate?"
The old man straightened up and laughed, "Yeah, it has been in the county government office since it was a puppy, and it never goes anywhere. Every morning, it walks around the courtroom. , he is much more competent than those revolving county magistrates.”
"..."
Qin Can looked at the dog, then at the door of the kitchen, completely speechless.
Although he was psychologically prepared at the beginning, Qin Can did not expect that the county government office in Longtai County was such a dilapidated place. When he walked in from the door, he almost had the illusion of walking into a deserted house.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, he was tripped by a water and fire stick across the door. Qin Can walked inside in disbelief. All he saw was a picture of broken walls and rotten tiles, with cobwebs everywhere. The red paint on the gate and the pillars was so mottled that it was almost gone, and there was a huge hole in the roof above the courtroom.
A few mice crawled around under the desk, and when Qin Can walked up the steps, they scattered and fled, and one of them ran away by rubbing against his boots.
Qin Can lowered his waist, picked up the sticks on the ground and the scattered torture sticks, and put them back on the desk. The sticks fell on the table and made a light "click", which was particularly crisp and loud in this empty place. , but aroused circles of loneliness like ripples, scattered to every corner.
Qin Can walked through the corridor and met an old man dressed like a beggar in the back room. He was chopping firewood with his hands shaking. Picking up the piece of wood, "Who are you looking for?"
"I... I am the new magistrate of Longtai County."
Hearing what Qin Can said, the movement of the old man's hands stopped for a while, and then he couldn't tell whether he was lamenting or shaking his head helplessly. He picked up the firewood on the ground and walked unsteadily into the room behind him. So there was the opening scene.
Qin Can learned from the old man that the old man used to work in the kitchen of the county government office. Get him one.
He has no place to go when he is old, so he still has a place to shelter from the wind and rain if he stays here, so he makes a living by helping people carry firewood and picking up leftovers from other people's food.
night.
Lying in the musty smelling room in the back of the county office, Qin Can didn't feel sleepy.
The room was also a mess, the tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of gray and white, like cobwebs, hanging down from the beams in disorder in layers.
It took him half a day to forcefully clear out the bed. The little prince, who had never experienced such hardship in the capital before, felt like retreating in the dead of night.
The roof tiles that have been in disrepair for years leaked one small hole after another, and the shining starlight and the watery moonlight fell through them, leaving staggered thin beams of light and mottled light in the dark room. point.
There was a rustling movement on the other side of the table, accompanied by a few "squeaks", and suddenly there was a "squeak", something heavy fell from the table to the ground, and the "squeak" sound rushed to the corner Spread out, and after a while, the voices sounded again, and all gathered at the table.
Qin Can saw a few mice on the ground gnawing on his bag through the leaked light. Qin Can remembered that there seemed to be some dry food in the bag.
Forget it, let them go.
Qin Can didn't care about it, he wanted to leave here, even if the crown prince allowed him to become an official in the court, it would be a hundred times better than staying here, he suddenly missed his old days, the beauty was picturesque, the wind and the moon were boundless, now it's just a big difference don't.
But if he went back, how would he have the face to face Mrs. Cen, and how would he explain to Cen Xi's relatives that he brought a living person out and ended up getting lost like this...?
No, it's not completely gone...
That bastard Yan San is using Cen Xi's body to continue to be his bandit.
So irresistible, all kinds of bloody and cruel images emerged and filled my mind.
Under the rain of blood, Cen Xi's expression was cold, his eyes raised and lowered the knife indifferently, a few spots of bright red splashed on his fair cheeks, like cinnabar on purpose, revealing seductiveness, while the green calf knife was winding The circulating blood, I don't know if it took the lives of hundreds or thousands of people to dye it that color...
The man who was always polite, courteous, and economical turned into a greedy and fierce robber. Only a box full of treasures can make him happy, and he tirelessly pursues the pleasure brought by plundering...
No!
Qin Can sat up suddenly, and the mice on the ground who were eating dry food were frightened by his movement and fled in all directions.
Qin Can got up to hold the lamp, and searched around in the room. The rats, insects and ants hiding in the corners of the room were frightened and ran around. Finally, Qin Can found pens, inks, papers and inkstones that seemed to be usable in a cabinet, and walked back to the desk. Before, spread out the paper on the table, ponder while grinding, then pick up a pen and start writing on the paper...
Butterfly Cup 2
Notice:
Now that the new magistrate of Longtai County has arrived, he intends to clean up the folk customs in Longtai County. Here, we are recruiting some yamen servants and arresters, and the salary is generous. Please feel free to tell me.
In the early morning of the next day, a piece of paper was pasted at the gate of the Longtai County Government Office in Qinghua Town.
The door of the county yamen was pushed back, and the drum of grievances was erected again. Although the head of the stone lion at the door was still missing, there was somewhat the solemn atmosphere that a yamen should have.
It's just that there are people coming and going at the gate of the county government office, some people set up stalls and yell, some people care about a few pennies, some people push carts and pull cattle past the door, but no one comes forward to take a look at this notice, as if this piece of paper Together with the county government behind them, it seemed as if they had disappeared out of thin air from their sight.
Qin Can posted the notice early in the morning, and then waited for people to come in neatly dressed in official uniform.But after the middle of the day, no one came to apply for the job, not even the daily workers.
Qin Can paced back and forth until his legs were sore. He looked at the sun in the sky and comforted himself. Maybe they slept until noon and just woke up, and maybe someone came in the afternoon.
At the time of the day, the county magistrate was sitting there, holding his face in his hands and playing with the torture sticks in the stick boredly. Bones and the big yellow dog named Xian Taiye pass the lonely time together.
No one appeared until sunset, and Qin Can, who had been waiting all day, had already dozed off on the table, with the county magistrate curled up next to him, whose head was mostly covered by an official hat.
"grown ups……"
Qin Can didn't hear it.
"grown ups……?"
Qin Can continued to snort, and waved his hands impatiently.
"grown ups!"
Qin Can knocked his head on the table and woke up in a daze, "W-what's the matter?"
Dazedly, he saw a person standing below him, he immediately came to his senses, took off his official hat and put it on, then stuck out his head and smiled.
"Are you here to apply? Do you want to be a yamen servant or a fast arrester? A fast arrester needs to be in good health and have good skills. I see that you are a bit thin, so why don't you just become a yamen servant? The salary is not as high as that of a fast arrester, but it is good." You don't have to run around here and there, and life is easy." Qin Can said a lot to himself, and he was full of enthusiasm.
