I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 295

A secluded and beautiful small village surrounded by mountains.

At this moment, the sun is setting and the people who live by farming are heading home with the sun behind their backs.

This year's crop harvest is good, and the weather is good. The second crop of rice is also growing gratifyingly, and everyone has a bit of joy on their faces.

"Boss Tu, come and help me harvest the glutinous rice in a few days, and I will give you three liters of good wine."

"Okay, Old Uncle Feng, but it's agreed, you have to prepare a copy of the koji made by my family this year."

Under the setting sun, a simple man was talking with two older farmer men. When they reached the intersection, they parted ways and went back to their respective homes.

Boss Tu's home is on the side of the official road, which is also a high place in this secluded small village. At this moment, the village is full of smoke, the old cows are lowing, the chickens are screaming and the dogs are barking. It is a quiet and peaceful pastoral scene.

"Daddy, daddy, there are guests at home!"

Before reaching the door, Boss Tu's youngest son ran out unsteadily, holding a piece of sugar cake from nowhere in his hand, and showing it in front of Boss Tu with a smile.

Boss Tu picked up his son, but after hearing his son's words, he immediately went home.

"Father, what guest has come to our house?"

Boss Tu walked into the yard with the child in his arms, and saw two tall men sitting beside the wooden table in the yard. Both of them were dressed in long gowns, with crowns on their heads and waists. Boss Tu's face suddenly became serious.

Boss Tu suddenly became a little more cautious, but saw that among the two outsiders, a young man was cupping his hands towards him.

Every move, the aura revealed, makes people feel as if even the county magistrate can't compare.

"Boss, you are back, hurry up and help your wife, and then let Xiaodouzi go to the old Sun's house in the village to make a pot of wine, and the little guy will be the sugar cake brought by Huo Huo's guests."

Boss Tu was standing on the spot blankly, while his father, Grandpa Tu, had already come out of the kitchen at this moment, and while giving instructions to Boss Tu's wife inside, he shouted at Boss Tu at the same time.

"What are you doing in a daze, these two adults are scholars, passing by here, asking for something."

As Mr. Tu said so, he walked up with a plate of boiled peanuts and greeted him warmly.

"Don't be disgusted, you two. We really don't have much to entertain in this remote village. The freshly cracked peanuts here are oily and delicious."

"Thank you, old man, but we are the ones who disturbed you this time."

Song Mu immediately took the plate handed over by the old man with both hands. At this moment, he also looked at the man in front of the door and asked.

"This is the son, he is really a strong man."

Boss Tu didn't speak, but Grandpa Tu sat down and explained to Song Mu with a smile.

"Yeah, that's the only kid I raised. It's not bad. He's a good farmer and has two strengths. In two days, he will go up the mountain with us."

Having said that, Song Mu nodded, and at the moment he was also facing Boss Tu.

After starting again from Yuzhang City, Song Mu and Tao Fengming took a boat all the way down, and then marched on the official road. After more than ten days, according to the previous plan, they came to the boundary of Wugao County.

The reason for coming here is naturally that Song Mu was looking for the remains of his parents.

It's just that there are too few things in the memory collected from Lao Mai. Even after Song Mu asked Pei Buguang to inquire about it, he only came up with this approximate location in the end.

It's in the middle of a big mountain here, but Song Mu needs to search carefully as to where it is.

Song Mu took a lot of effort to get here, and asked an old hunter here, who has been walking in the mountains for decades, and is most familiar with everything in the mountains, so he also brought gifts to find them, and the letter written by the county magistrate was also accepted. A warm welcome.

Although such a big incident happened in the provincial capital of Yuzhang, thousands of people were killed and injured in the city, and hundreds of scholars were attacked by fallen literati.

But that kind of movement is naturally unknown in this mountain village, and the life here is still somewhat quiet.

If it weren't for the poor life of the common people, it could be regarded as a paradise.

Sure enough, after some conversation, Boss Tu understood the ins and outs of the matter at this moment, but for some reason, Song Mu saw that the other party's expression was a bit displeased.

Song Mu and Tao Fengming looked at each other. Tao Fengming's face was still a little pale at the moment, but he was also looking at Boss Tu.

Boss Tu seemed to be thinking for a while, and said to Mr. Tu.

"Father, you promised, do you really want to go up the mountain?"

Mr. Tu was quite content, he just nodded at this moment, and said calmly.

"That's natural. The county magistrate has already written us a letter. Besides, what this young master came to find is the remains of his parents. This is a matter of filial piety. It's not impossible for me to go away once."

Boss Tu's expression was serious when he heard this.

"If it's not like this, I will go with the two young masters. Father, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. You are not what you used to be."

Only then did Song Mu come to his senses, it turned out that it was the father who loved his son, thinking that it would be inconvenient for him to go to the mountains.

At the moment Song Mu also understood, and nodded in response.

"It all depends on Big Brother Fan's decision. The mountain is steep, and it is really inappropriate for the old man to go up the mountain in person."

Boss Tu cast a grateful look, but the old man was venting his breath, and now he shook the cigarette pot, but his wrinkled face was a bit displeased.

"You idiot, what do you know? This mountain is full of twists and turns, and you think you can go up it if you have the strength? You have planted the land all your life. Could it be that your father and I have been hunting all our lives and are familiar with this mountain?" ?”

The two father and son quarreled about this matter immediately, and it was only then that Song Mu understood what the two of them meant.

Boss Tu refused, and immediately spoke up.

"Father, the mountain has not been very peaceful recently, so don't mess around."

"Taiping is not peaceful, I know. Last time in the county, there were literati who went up the mountain to clean it. What are you afraid of?"

The two father and son were at a stalemate, and they still looked a little angry at the moment.

Until the dinner was served, Boss Tu also had a gloomy expression, feeling a little impatient.

It was somewhat embarrassing for Song Mu to be caught in it, but there was really no other way. In this vast mountain, if he wanted to find the remains of his parents, he could only pin his hopes on the two of them.

Among them, Song Mu also learned two things.

One is that the mountains in Wugao County are not very peaceful recently, there are often groups of monsters appearing, elusive, and seem to hurt people, and the other is that it is dangerous to go up the mountain here and have to pass a broken wall.

But even so, Boss Tu still couldn't hold back Mr. Tu, so he could only agree to go up the mountain tomorrow.

The dinner ended somewhat awkwardly, and Song Mu and Tao Fengming were arranged to live in a side room.

In the middle of the night, Song Mu finished writing today's article, blew out the oil lamp he carried with him, and lay down on his side, but tossed and turned.

Tao Fengming next to him noticed Song Mu's movements and asked at this moment.

"Why, do you still think this matter has no clue?"

Song Mu shook his head and sighed heavily in the darkness.

"I'm sure my parents are here."

"It's just... I'm not ready for that situation."

Song Mu frowned slightly, with a bit of sadness hanging on his brows.

"And after taking it back, what will happen to the second uncle when he sees this scene?"
