God's Taoism is free and easy, starting with taking in the clam girl

Chapter 126 Crab Clan!Crab family!
Zhou Shun frowned slightly, he managed to finish dealing with the two foreigners, but he was kicked in by someone.

He followed the prestige, and when he saw the appearance of that person, his frown deepened.

It turned out to be Ergou!
Ergou has been gaining popularity in the village recently. He and his rodent extermination team, oh, should be called the rat raising team, have done a few big things recently and brought a lot of benefits to everyone.

Therefore, he has been praised by many villagers. He originally appreciated Ergou's actions, and even encouraged his two precious grandsons to follow him to work with him. Two dogs mean.

After all, Ergou's daily actions are all based on his blood. As long as he believes in something, he can't pull back a few cows.

Unless Master Shenshi comes forward!

He once thought that Ergou would cause many accidents, and he had already prepared a way to resolve them, but he never thought that he would make things difficult for him one day.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Zhou saw that all the villagers looked at him with strange colors. This was the first time he had seen such eyes since he was elected as the village elder.

His heart skipped a beat, knowing that he couldn't sit still like this anymore, he snorted coldly with a livid face, and said:
"Ergou, what nonsense are you talking about! I drafted the village regulations of our stone village. Is there anyone who knows better than me?"

"Besides, when we adults are talking about business, children should not interrupt at will. Could it be that you have taken all the etiquette lessons in private schools for nothing these days? Or did you never listen to them when you were in class?"

Of course he knew what Li Ergou was like in the private school. It can be said that his left ear went in and his right ear went out. He was dizzy in class and full of energy after class.

What's more, it is obvious to all in the village that Ergou has never been in a good state in the private school. As for etiquette, righteousness and shame, he does not expect Ergou to have a sense of etiquette and shame.

That's why he brought the topic to school. In his opinion, as long as Ergou's actions are attributed to disrespect, no matter how reasonable his words are, no one will care.

However, he looked at the surrounding villagers from the corner of his eye, and after seeing the expressions of everyone, he realized that he had miscalculated.

Instead of blaming Ergou, everyone looked at them with more meaning.

With a heart sinking into the bottom of the sea, Zhou Shun seemed to be trapped in a cold icehouse, and he felt a little chill all over.

He suddenly understood that the result of his handling this time should be on the opposite side of the villagers.

Maybe it was really wrong for me to forcibly save my own villagers and ignore the actions of the three foreign peddlers.

He couldn't figure it out. This is his usual practice. When facing foreigners, everything is based on the interests of his own villagers. He has never missed it in this way.

Why can't it work now? ?
Li Ergou took a bite of the bamboo rat in his hand, and when he heard what the elder said, he couldn't help shaking his head in disappointment:

"Elder Zhou, you are wrong to say that. Master Wei once said that justice in the world rests in people's hearts. Everyone knows who is right and who is wrong. When it comes to right and wrong, there is no age difference. , don’t bully me, I’m just a seven-year-old child and don’t let me speak, as long as someone does something wrong, we can talk about it.”

"What's more, what you are doing now is not for the sake of the village, but taking the lead in breaking the village rules, covering up and condoning your relatives to do bad things. Others are afraid that you are an elder and dare not say more, but I, Li Ergou, will not be afraid you."

As soon as Li Ergou said this, the surrounding villagers couldn't help applauding.

"The second dog is doing well!"

"Well said! The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, let alone just the elder's nephew..."

"That's right! We didn't choose elders to protect relatives."

"Zhou Shun has lost his sense of justice. If we don't say something today, we will re-elect a new elder."

"Okay, I think the new Mr. Private School is good. He takes care of our baby every day, and I haven't seen him complaining about it."

"Mr. Private School can do it, but he seems a little younger. I think the fortune teller is also good. Two days ago, he told me that there is a treasure in the underground of my house. Let us dig it. We dubiously asked my family to dig it overnight. Get down, and guess what?"

A mature woman suggested, but the more she spoke, the more mysterious she became, and her voice was almost a faint mosquito sound in the end. If you didn't listen attentively, you wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying.

"What's the matter?" Everyone was suddenly enticed by her, and immediately forgot about Zhou Shun who was being targeted by others, and asked hastily.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, the woman was filled with pride, and said happily, "We dug a well!"

"Ah?" Everyone suddenly looked disappointed.

"Who doesn't have a well now..."

"That is, not only do we have a well in front of our house, but even paddy fields can produce water. What's so strange about it?"

The woman was not happy, and corrected: "The well in our house is the first well found in the whole village. If we hadn't dug the well in our house, you don't know when and what month you would dig a well in front of your house. As for the paddy field, To put it bluntly, our family was the first to dig out the water."

"So that's the case. It is indeed a precious and extraordinary treasure. I also support the selection of the fortune-teller as the new elder."

Zhou Shun saw a group of villagers talking about the re-election of elders in front of him, his face that was originally livid suddenly turned pale.

At this moment, he finally understood where he was wrong.

The reason why he was chosen as an elder was not because he was so powerful, but because he had always put his mind on the interests of the villagers.

Now, in the eyes of the villagers, my actions seem to be covering up my relatives, and they mistakenly think that I have selfishness, so it is not a big deal to watch the excitement. I have never had a villager stand by me, even for myself Justify.

People are scattered!

Zhou Shun lowered his head. Although Zhou Lao Wu was his nephew, he was also a villager in the stone village. He thought he had a clear conscience in how he dealt with it, but he didn't know why he stood on the opposite side of the villagers.

Could it be said that in the future, he will allow foreigners to bully his villagers, but he can't show favoritism in the slightest?
No, according to the current situation, whether the village needs to stand up for justice in the future is still a question...

"Why didn't Elder Zhou stop talking? Could it be that what I said was right on his mind, so there's no way to quibble?" Li Ergou glanced at Zhou Shun, who had his head down and his face was pale, with a half-smile.

At this moment, he felt a pair of cold little hands poking his waist behind him, and a childish voice sounded softly behind him.

"Brother Ergou, there seem to be outsiders in the village. Don't let them see the joke. You are looking at our two brothers, so don't embarrass my grandpa."

Li Ergou turned his head, but saw Gou Sheng and Tie Dan hiding behind him, with flattering expressions on their faces, and said cautiously.

Seeing his two hard-core followers pleading with him with low eyebrows, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he made a gesture of reassurance to the two brothers, and looked back at Zhou Shun below:

"Master Wei once said, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. If you don't deal with it fairly, you will naturally have no good fruit to eat. You are a mouse tail juice!"

After leaving a word, Li Ergou walked around to the back of the house, jumped down, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Li Ergou came and went in a hurry, but the scene changed dramatically.

Zhou Shun stared blankly at the direction where Er Gou disappeared. Instead of feeling a little joy because of the other party's departure, his expression became more gloomy.

His current situation was as if he had been punched hard by someone, and before he had time to fight back, the other party lightly put down a word and left.

What's more, it didn't matter if the other party punched him, but it caused many people to be dissatisfied with him.

Now what he is facing is no longer his own handling of Zhou Laowu's affairs, nor is it the dispute between himself and Li Ergou.

It's about whether they can convince the many villagers surrounding them.

If one of them can't speak well, he will step down from the position of elder at the least, or at worst...

He really didn't dare to think about it.

The brothers of the Xie family were full of reluctance, and were about to leave under the leadership of Xie Lao Liu. After Li Ergou's mess, they stopped, and even Xie Lao Liu stopped urging his brothers. up.

His previous concession was not to calm things down, but to see the magistrate of Anyuan County coming to his village, with the mentality that his family's ugliness should not be publicized, and he did not argue with Elder Zhou for the time being.

It's just that the situation has been opened up by Li Ergou, and Zhou Shun has become the target of public criticism. If he still fails to seize the opportunity to seek an explanation for his clansman, he will be blind all these years.

This time, without waiting for his two brothers to enter the stage, he went out in person and greeted Zhou Shun in the eyes of many villagers.

"Elder Zhou, now that we have spoken, there is no need for us to hide it anymore. Your nephew violated the regulations set by the gods and caught crabs in the fields to help with farm work. How do you think we should deal with it now? "

"Huh?" Zhou Shun suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and looked at Xie Lao Liu in disbelief. "You shopkeepers from other places, how come you are so familiar with the situation in our village..."

"Our village?"

Hearing the words, Xie Lao Liu sighed, and his expression was a little depressed. He knew that his Crab Clan was just living in the village, helping the villagers with some farm work on weekdays, and the villagers also acquiesced in the existence of the Crab Clan under the hint of the god On weekdays, they seem to live together on the surface but seem to be parallel lines that never interfere.

And none of these Crab Clan brothers who could transform into human forms appeared in the village openly, but turned into peddlers, buying high and selling low, and using their profits to bring some benefits to the village.

Strictly speaking, the Crab Clan has not really stood on the stage, living in the village as spirits.

And he also knows that there are many other spirits in the village, who also live in seclusion in the village with various identities.

"So, this is life under the fence..."

Xie Lao Liu suddenly came to his senses, no matter how much he waited for others to do, but before they stood on the stage, they were just a group of "outsiders" after all.

Thinking of this, Xie Lao Liu was suddenly disheartened and was about to give up pursuing the investigation. Just as he moved his feet and wanted to turn his head away, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.

His whole body was shocked, and his whole face turned red.

He leaned in front of Zhou Shun and whispered something in the village elder's ear.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Shun seemed to have been frightened, and he quickly stepped back a few steps, with panic written all over his face.

"It turned out to be you!"

"So it turns out that I have been mistaken all along, and you are also villagers in the village!"

"It's no wonder that the goods you sell are so cheap, and it's no wonder that the prices of the materials you buy are higher than the market price. It turns out that they are all from our own people!!"

He turned his head to look at the towering boulder not far away, and kept muttering to himself:

"I was wrong! I was really wrong! One thought, too late to regret!"

Zhou Shun was full of remorse, and his whole body was lost, but the surrounding villagers were stunned, and looked at the three Xie brothers with disbelief on their faces.

"What? The God of Wealth is also from the village?"

"Isn't it? When did our village have so many people?"

"In this way, it makes sense. Let me just say, how can there be love for no reason in this world? I have always wondered why Master Liu and the others are so bold, and thought they had some purpose for approaching us. It turned out to be The family is here, so I can rest assured."

"So, it turns out that the flood has rushed into the Dragon King Temple. Why do our own people make things difficult for our own people!"

"What do you mean? Can your own people be wronged? Can your own people disobey the village rules?"

"The elders in our village only pay attention to one thing - fairness, fairness, fairness! Whoever is fair, we will choose whoever is the elder, and whoever is unfair... The elders in our village can go up and down!"

"However, let's talk about it. We really didn't expect that the sixth master is from the village, and we haven't seen a few more houses. Where do they usually live?"

Xie Lao Liu had already secretly obtained permission, and immediately changed his form in front of everyone.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", a cloud of smoke flashed past, and a huge crab half a person's height appeared in front of everyone. The crab's two huge eyes looked in two different directions.

At the same time, a voice came from the crab's mouth.

"I'm a Crab Clan, and I naturally live in the abyss in the south. Our Crab Clan brothers work hard on weekdays to take care of the farmland for the village for free, and risk our lives to buy and sell supplies outside."

"Now, my people are being captured at will by Zhou Laowu under the decree of Master Shenshi..."

"Originally we thought Elder Zhou had always dealt with all affairs in the village fairly, but who would have thought that he would be treated like this."

"Elder Zhou, aren't you afraid that the cold will break the hearts of many of us Crab people?"

While speaking, Xie Lao Liu had turned to look at Zhou Shun, and raised his two huge pincers high, as if he was about to pinch Zhou Shun in the next moment.
