salted fish soaring

"Get up, get out!"

The sound of gongs and gongs broke the quiet night.

"Every male household worships the temple, let's go immediately!"

Township officials beat gongs and drums, lit torches and entered the village.

The fire dragon winds and black smoke billows.

Suddenly, the cock crowed and the dog barked, and the whole village woke up from sleep.

"Why are you leaving now? It's only the second watch!"

"This is the last plowing cow in the village, don't move!"

The low growls of men, the screams of women, the cries of children, and the coughing and panting of old people all sounded together in the cold and silent night.

After a while, the sound of officials cursing and whips breaking the wind overwhelmed all other voices.

In the end, the mournful cry was suppressed, and only a few mournful cries remained.

The earthen hut was not lit, and the moonlight shone through the paper-covered windows, making slight twists and turns.

The house is barren, but there are tables and cabinets, bean batter in the pot, and dry biscuits hanging on the wall.

In this way, in the village, they are already considered wealthy.

The woman's eyes were full of worry: "Little Tiger Father, why do you have to travel in the middle of the night to worship the temple?"

The man closed the door and put half a dry biscuit in his arms: "I heard from outsiders that a new fairy official has arrived in Tiancheng. After I leave..."

"Wow, woof, woof!" Suddenly a dog barked.

But there is no dog at home.

It turned out that the little boy on the kang woke up and was clapping his hands like a dog barking: "There are no fairy officials, they are all dog officials, dog officials, dog officials!"

The man turned pale with shock, glanced at the figures outside the window, the bright torches, strode towards the edge of the kang, and covered the child's mouth.

His strength was heavy, and the little boy struggled in pain.

The woman hurriedly pulled her husband away: "What are you doing!"

The man let go, put his hands on the child's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Little Tiger, who taught you this?!"

Xiaohu gasped and cried loudly: "They all sing like this..."

"I can't say it! If someone overhears you, you'll lose your head!" The man said angrily, "Remember if you didn't!"

The child nodded in horror, and the man let go.

With a long sigh, he turned around and opened the dilapidated wooden cabinet, took out something from the bottom, and uncovered the white cloth on it.

It is a wooden plow, but unlike the straight plows commonly used today, the shaft of the plow has an arc.

Ordinary peasant households could not produce their own farm tools, but could only pay money to the gentry and landlords and rent them from them.

He is the best carpenter in ten miles and eight townships. Before he was crippled, he often went to the streets to repair things for others.

After the plow was built, it was never tried in the field.Only with permission from the above can it be manufactured and used on a large scale.

The soil is getting harder and harder to cultivate.Without cattle, people are cattle.

If one day, everyone can use it to cultivate the land...

The man's tired eyes lit up.

"What are you doing!" the woman said urgently.

The man gritted his teeth: "Anyone can offer treasures when the new fairy official takes office."

"What people want is a magic weapon of a fairy, who wants a plow!" The woman said with a miserable expression, "Father, forget it, you went there five years ago, didn't you..."

She looked at one of the man's lame legs.

"But what if..." The man didn't continue, his face pale.

Hope is pinned on "just in case", it is not worth talking about.

"What are you dawdling in!" There was a violent knock on the door, accompanied by the scolding of the little official, "Get the fuck out of here, son of a bitch!"

A man hugs his wife and children, drags a wooden plow, opens the door and walks out into the night.

Outside the door, the local officials burst into laughter and shouted:

"Look, Liu Zizi is going to offer treasures again hahaha!"

"Father!" The child cried out and was about to rush out the door.

The woman carried him onto the kang and hugged him in her arms: "Sleep, when you wake up, your father will be back."

"I can't sleep." Xiaohu said with tears on his face.

"Mother will tell you a story, okay?"

The woman wiped away his tears and said softly: "A long time ago, our village was a beautiful place. There was no black sandstorm, only green trees and grass.

"It rains every year in the sky, the harvest is good every year in the fields, and the millet is piled up into hills. The mountains are full of wild flowers and fruits, hares and pheasants. The river water is so clear that you can see your shadow, and there are countless fish in it!"

Xiaohu closed his eyes: "Can I eat one of that fish?"

"The fish is fat and big, and it smells oily after roasting. You can eat as much as you want, until you burst your stomach!"

"Mom, I'm full."

Not long after, Xiaohu fell asleep soundly in his mother's arms.

He smacked his lips, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't know what dream he had.

Mother's tears flowed down:

"God, please open your eyes and give people a way to survive!"

……

The central city of Qianqu County is called "Tiancheng".

In the Xianguan mansion, the high-rise building where the Xianguan lived is called "Yunlou".

Under the support of the formation, Tiancheng gathered the last aura of the entire county.The bluestone slabs of the street are flat, and the trees on both sides are shady.

The overall building is modeled after the famous Huawei City in Tianxizhou. The buildings have cornices and brackets, which are exquisite and elegant.

If viewed from the air, it looks like a small Huawei city.

It's just that the air is dry and the wind and sand are slightly larger.

Zhou Xiaoyun said optimistically: "I think it's pretty good here, it's not as scary as Senior Brother Song said."

"Sure enough, it's to scare us!" Xu Kanshan said with a smile.

Meng Heze frowned: "No, I feel something is wrong."

In front of the Immortal Official's Mansion, there is an open space like a square, open and flat.Ji Chen manipulated the treasure ship to land slowly.

Zhao Ren took all the staff in charge of the Immortal Mansion and waited from morning to noon.

He couldn't wait to see Song Qianji, and couldn't wait to get out of here.

The Qijue treasure ship had just landed and hadn't come to a complete stop yet, Zhao Ren rushed onto the deck first.

The people on the boat were scattered, and at a glance, there were about a thousand people, most of whom were still wearing the uniforms of Huawei Sect's outer disciples.

Zhao Ren thought to himself, I heard that Song Qianji is beautiful and romantic.This person became famous at a young age, and his calligraphy and chess skills are shining in the world of comprehension. It is the time when he is in high spirits.

The leading boy, with a high ponytail, is dressed in white and indigo.The momentum is heroic, and the determination is like a sword out of its sheath.

It's really enviable to have a foundation building cultivation base in your teens.

He must be Song Qianji!

"I've heard about Junior Brother Song's name for a long time, but seeing him today, he is indeed a boy born from a hero!" Zhao Ren laughed, and warmly shook the boy's hands, "Song—"

"Senior Brother Song is behind." Meng Heze easily avoided his hand, revealing the person behind him.

Zhao Ren suddenly felt very embarrassed, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

The young man was wearing a robe with 88 heavy water cloud runes, and his belt was covered with top-quality shark beads. The colorful clouds flowed under the rising sun, covering his whole body in a layer of faint brilliance.

This person is not only rich and noble, but also accompanied by a pretty and lovely girl with double buns.

Traveling with beauty, it turns out that this is Song Qianji!

It is said that the jade slips made by the Bureau of Picking Stars have brought him a huge income of 20 spirit stones. No wonder the dress is so dazzling, it is really enviable!

"I am Zhao Ren, the former Immortal Official of Qianqu County. I saw Junior Brother Song's demeanor today..." Zhao Ren's hand turned to Ji Chen, but failed again.

Ji Chen smiled kindly: "You admitted your mistake, Senior Brother Song is behind."

Why are you still behind?You guys are just playing me on purpose, right? !

Zhao Ren couldn't help being annoyed.

I saw the two young men from before, one heroic and one noble, one left and one right, going to help the person behind them together:

"Senior Brother Song, we're here."

"Brother Song, wake up."

The man was lifted up from the cushion of the recliner, as if he had just dozed off, and blinked:

"Hello, Zhao Xianguan." The voice was light.

He is neither sharp nor rich, but gentle in temperament.

As long as you speak a word with him, you will have the illusion that this person is very easy to deal with.

Alarm bells rang in Zhao Ren's heart!

A ruthless character who can subdue the entire outer sect of Huawei Sect without showing off.

He cheered up: "Junior Brother Song! We've been waiting for you for a long time, let's enter the temple right now! There just happens to be a worship service today..."

"Why do you enter the temple?" Song Qianji asked.

Zhao Ren was stunned by this sentence, if you don't go to the temple, where else do you want to go?

Could it be that you dislike not offering your golden statue to the temple in advance?

He decided to give Song Qianji a little "sweetness" first to stabilize him.

"Junior Brother Song doesn't know something. This is a necessary procedure for the handover of two immortal officials. Si Nong, Si Li, and Si Jun are ready and will report to you at the temple. Qianqu's noble family and gentry will also come to pilgrimage to offer treasures , the rules cannot be changed.”

When Song Qianji heard "Si Nong", he changed his tune and said, "All right, follow the rules."

The way of farming is extensive and profound, and he is asking the county farmer for advice on some problems.

What he traveled in his previous life was Qianqu County a hundred years later.

There should be a big difference now. Only by understanding the situation first can we better plan land use.

Song Qianji took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction.

It's the smell of the wasteland.Since rebirth, my wish has finally come true.

The bottle filled with the Immortal Spring in the Purple Mansion buzzed and vibrated, as if echoing his state of mind.

Zhao Ren sneered in his heart, and he was willing to go only after hearing the offering of treasures. This Song Qianji really didn't see a rabbit and wouldn't scatter an eagle!

But he also had a smile on his face.

The two immortal officials looked at each other and smiled, and let each other get off the boat humbly.

……

In the temple square, the people kneeling on the ground felt extremely sad.

Seeing the wind and smoke rising in the distance, the treasure ship falling, and the new fairy official striding forward.

Thousands of monks followed behind him, making a splash.

It is even bigger than when Zhao Xianguan came, and more like a fairy from the sky.

I don't know how difficult it is to serve.
