The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

On a winter night, the cold wind blew across the small slope, and the lonely hut was leaking everywhere, as cold as an ice cellar. Su Jin and Wang Chao Mahan squatted in the corner of the house, and after a while, their bodies were completely cold. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu outside must be feeling uncomfortable at the moment.Visit download txt novel

The old couple on the bed gesticulated with each other for a long time, now the excitement has passed, they actually snored and fell asleep, the old people also have a bad memory, and drowsiness hits them, maybe they even forgot about catching the thief.

I don't know how long it has passed, and there is no sound at all, only rats scurrying around the house with their empty stomachs, people suffer, and mice don't have a good life, I'm afraid they can only eat grass roots and grass seeds Can't eat anything good either.

Ma Han rubbed his hands and muttered cursing in a low voice, he fucked the eight generations of Long Zhen's ancestors to the sky, the dynasty was more stable, leaning against the corner of the room and looking out from the gap in the dark hut, Su Jin squinted and closed his eyes Rest your mind; thieves basically steal things after the third watch when people are fast asleep, and you can’t be in a hurry because you’re afraid that he won’t come. As long as you can show up, what’s the point of suffering more?

In a daze, Su Jin felt that Wang Chao had gently poked him, and when he opened his eyes to look, he only heard Wang Chao softly said: "Master, I really want to hear something, it's a bit like footsteps."

Su Jin listened carefully, and it seemed that something stepped on the withered grass and made a stinging sound. The sound was very soft and slow, and seemed to be far away. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.

At this moment, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu beside the pile of firewood suddenly shouted: "Who? Stop!"

Su Jin cursed angrily: "You idiot, can't you wait for him to approach? You forgot to explain something, and then you stumbled, so hurry up and chase after him."

Su Jin jumped up, strode out the door, and followed Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to the southeast slope, followed by Wang Chao and Ma Han.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu ran and shouted: "Stop, don't stop me from shooting arrows."

Hearing that, the black shadow ran faster. The thief seemed to be familiar with the path, and he ran faster than a rabbit along the path of weeds; this was a pain for Su Jin and others. There is a hole, a ditch over there, and the grass roots are tangled, and the people in the loop are stumbling, seeing the black shadow getting farther and farther away, gradually becoming unclear.

Su Jin was sweating profusely, and a thorn accidentally tore the leg of his trousers. Although he didn't hurt his flesh, he was pulled back and fell into the dry grass with a groan, and stared at him.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu hurriedly turned their heads to check, and the dynasty Ma Han behind him also rushed over, and the four of them helped the grumbling Su Jin up, Zhang Long asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"

Su Jin slapped him angrily and scolded him: "What are you in such a hurry for? Can't wait for him to reach the house before doing it? Howling at such a distance, I'm afraid the thief won't be able to escape, right?"

Zhang Long rubbed his head aggrievedly and said: "No, sir, just now that guy dropped his ass and walked back, we had to show up, we didn't want to, and we didn't dare to move our eyes away, in case this guy went to some place If you squat behind, you will lose your target."

Zhao Hu also nodded and said: "Yes, I saw it too, there is nothing I can do about it."

Su Jin was surprised and said: "He walked back halfway? Did he find anything?"

Everyone looked back at the thatched hut on the slope. It was so dark that nothing was unusual. There was a slight sound in the cold wind. Su Jin slapped his thigh and cursed: "Damn, it's the horse on the slope that did something bad. Listen, The horse was so cold that it pawed its hooves and snorted, we couldn't hear it clearly, but Long Zhen was born in the horse army, he was very sensitive to the smell and sound of horses, and the wind was from the northwest, so he must have noticed that there were horses nearby ; A careless move."

"Master, what should we do now?" Wang Chao said anxiously: "It seems that this kid is Long Zhen, if he escapes like this, it will be difficult to find him next time."

Su Jin said: "Next time? Is there a next time? Keep chasing."

Wang Chao said: "I don't know where he ran to. It's a desolate place. Just find a long grass to nest in it. The few of us can't find it at all. Should we go back and call someone?"

Su Jin thought for a moment and said: "He can survive so many days in the twelfth lunar month, he must have a place to stay; he will never consider a place with people, it can only be this remote place; go southeast and go down to the city wall, go north It is the east city, and to the west is the south city. He dare not move close to the city wall, because he will be spotted by the patrol team on the city. It’s a good place to hide because it’s out of the way.”

Ma Han said: "Then what are we waiting for? Search separately."

Su Jin said: "This guy has some martial arts skills, we shouldn't separate, if he hides in some grass nest and violently hurts people, it's not worthwhile; let's chase him in the direction he escaped, I guess there must be somewhere suitable for him to hide , otherwise he won’t be able to survive these few days, let’s work on the camera, so we can watch it as we go.”

Several people nodded in agreement, this time it was exposed anyway, so they simply made firewood torches and searched slowly; Su Jin was not afraid that Long Zhen would avoid him when he saw the torch, he was looking for the place where Long Zhen was hiding, As long as Long Zhen is driven out of the hiding place, even if Long Zhen hides somewhere to escape the search, this night will definitely be enough for him. If we fight with him, it will be dawn, and we will send people to search in a carpet-like manner tomorrow morning. I don't believe that Long Zhen can escape. past.

Several people searched all the way, and gradually came to another hillside. Ma Han walked in the front, and suddenly let out a terrified cry, and ran back twisting his buttocks.

"Damn, bad luck, bad luck, I'm so scared that my heart is pounding." Ma Han scolded.

Su Jin and the others rushed forward, and the torches illuminated the sparse forest in front of them. They were also startled when they saw graves everywhere, like a large pile of steamed buns just out of the cage, and the white flags on the small bamboo poles fluttered in the wind. Fluttering around, looking ghostly, it turned out to be a cemetery.

Su Jin settled down and said: "What's there to be afraid of? Didn't I tell you that the theory of ghosts and gods is very false? Look at your promise."

Ma Han wiped the cold sweat off his head and murmured: "I don't know why, I'm just afraid. I'm not afraid of killing people, but I'm afraid of these things. It's really strange."

Su Jin ignored him, and stepped into the tombs. There are hundreds of tombs, big and small, and more than a dozen are new tombs. They presumably belong to the poor people in Yangzhou City who starved to death and froze to death for a month. , These tombs are extremely rough, and most of them have no tombstones; in the famine years, the living have no food to eat, so how can the dead pay so much attention.

Su Jinli walked around the cemetery, except for the dead grass in the grave, and found nothing unusual, but found a few wild dogs tearing something at the edge of the woods, and everyone stepped forward to chase them away, and the wild dogs whined. Sheng Sheng protected the food, baring his teeth to prevent everyone from approaching.

Su Jin saw the torn thing on the ground, it turned out to be a corpse, the head, face and body were torn to blood and flesh, and a feeling of annoyance surged up in his heart, these wild dogs were eating the dead body, it was simply unacceptable.

With Su Jin's order, Wang Chao and the other four people hacked wildly with simple knives, and four or five wild dogs were chopped down to the ground. The last one saw that the situation was not good and burrowed into the grave. Su Jin refused to give up. After chasing it, the wild dog had nowhere to go, and suddenly slid into the grass under a tall grave and disappeared. Su Jin rushed over and couldn't find it. After walking around the tomb, he heard a fight behind the tombstone. The sound and the whining of the dog soon disappeared. Su Jin was sweating from fright. Could it be that there is a ghost?The dog got into the tomb and was eaten by ghosts?

The materialist Su Jin didn't believe in this evil, so he ordered Wang Chao and others to bring the torch closer, and gently pushed aside the grass behind the tombstone with a simple knife, only to see the wild dog with its butt exposed, its head stuck in the mound, motionless.

Su Jin winked, and Ma Han bravely grabbed the wild dog by its tail and dragged it out. After dragging the wild dog out, the dog was already dead.

"Master...!" Everyone's voices changed, and they looked at Su Jin in horror.

Su Jin turned the wild dog over with a knife, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Several people were terrified by Su Jin's sudden laughter.

"It's amazing, Master is possessed." Ma Han said.

"Hurry up and find the black dog to splash him with blood, or knock him unconscious and carry him back to a mage for dojo." Zhang Long said.

Su Jin pointed at the four of them and laughed loudly: "Ghost possession? Thank you for thinking it out."
