Raising the Demon

Chapter 103
And the bandage that was tied on the body just now, I don’t know what it was made of. Now it has taken effect, and the whole body is numb and itchy. It seems that the wound has begun to heal, and even the broken bones are growing. A popping sound can be heard, like a plant sprouting.

In a trance, Dahe felt as if he had returned to the time when he was an egg a long, long time ago. In that warm environment, under the protection of the solid eggshell, the vitality of the whole body began to germinate.

It's just that such a sweet dream didn't last long, when Dahe felt something moving around him, and then his wings hurt.

Big Crane opened his eyes, and saw a little guy was pulling his wings and yanking on them.

This little guy is the guy who just wanted to eat him. Two puppies are squatting aside, sticking out their tongues and drooling.

"What are you doing!" The big crane quickly shook its wings and threw away the little stone.

"I asked my mother to help me make a chicken feather shuttlecock." Xiaoshi spread his hands, and there was a shining copper coin in his hand.

If the children in the village want a chicken feather shuttlecock, they have to take a copper coin and cover it with cloth and sew it on, then cut off a thick quill from a rooster's tail feather, break one end to form a cross, and sew it on the copper coin. The position of the square hole in the middle, the other end is inserted with bright rooster feathers, this kind of shuttlecock is the best for kicking, not to mention how beautiful it is when it flies up and down.

However, Zijian's family didn't have any chickens. In the past, if Xiao Shitou wanted a shuttlecock, he had to go to someone else's house to beg for a few chicken feathers. Now he finally didn't have to ask for it.

His family's big cock is much bigger than other people's!

However, he rummaged around on the big crane's wings for a while, but couldn't find a suitable one. The big crane was big, and the feathers on its wings were also big. The quills were as thick as carrots. Where could I find such a big copper coin?Where can I find so many feathers stuffed into the quill?
After finally finding a suitable feather, he woke up the sleepy and healing big crane before he could pull it off.

"Go, go, go!" Let the little guy tug around, and he didn't have to pluck his feathers bald.It threatened: "Be careful, I will peck you! One bite at a time!"

Most birds cherish their feathers, and they will feel distressed for a long time if they lose a feather.

"I told my brother that you bullied me, and asked my brother to roast and eat you." Little Shitou was not afraid at all. This little guy, even Zi Baifeng had a headache for a long time when he was skinned. Big Crane's threat skills were obviously not enough. .

"Get out of the way, I'll help you find what kind of feathers you want!" Dahe threatened for a long time, but finally had to give in.

"How would I know if I didn't look for it!" The little stone became even more arrogant. He jumped up and climbed onto the big crane's back, climbed up and down, tossed and turned, and pointed at a feather on its buttocks after a while. Said: "This one is just right in thickness."

"This one... let's change it to this one..." Big Crane's heart ached, the one pointed by the little stone had just grown out not long ago, and the root was strong, not to mention it would be painful to pull it out, but it was also beautiful.There is obviously an old feather that is about to fall off next to it, but this guy just doesn't choose it.

Where is Xiao Shitou who is easy to talk to?Except for Zi Baifeng, he was not afraid of anything, he stretched out his hand to pull it, and he couldn't pull it off after a long time, making the crane almost convulsed with pain, the crane had to give in, and held the small stone in his collar Throwing it aside, he opened his mouth and pulled out the feather.

The little stone picked more than a dozen feathers before giving up, and the big crane wanted to cry but had no tears. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the bluestone!
But this guy wasn't done yet, before he left he grabbed another thick feather from a big crane's wing, and said, "I want this one."

"This one is almost bigger than you! You are a hairy shuttlecock!" Big Crane wished he could eat the little stone in one bite.

"I'll make a fan for my mother." Little Shitou was filial.

As the saying goes, the arms cannot twist the thighs, but after all, the little stone is still waving a huge feather that is taller than him, and returns victorious.

Can finally be quiet for a while.After combing the feathers distressedly for a long time, to cover up the torn feathers, just as the big crane lay down, it felt someone flapping its wings again, and when it opened its eyes, it froze for a moment.

There were a dozen or so children in a row, all drooling looking at it.

"We're going to hold a shuttlecock kicking competition." Little Shitou held a long feather in his dark hand, pointed forward, and listened to the orders in front of the tents of thousands of troops, with feather fans and towels, full of vigor and high spirits.

Dahe only felt his eyes go dark.

When Big Crane finally couldn't stand these arrogant and greedy little ghosts, and pecked them one by one until he ran away, he looked back at the scattered feathers on his body, and felt like crying without tears.

Whoever said this is a place for spiritual cultivation, probably after two bad days, he will be naked.

Seeing that these little fellows were still dissatisfied and still eyeing them not far away, Dahe wanted to turn around and run away regardless of everything else.

These people... are horrible!

The old ones are scary, but the young ones are a hundred times more scary!
Fortunately, at this time, above the bluestone, a bell rang.

The crisp and melodious bell was just hung up by Zi Baifeng, three long and one short, this is the sound of class.

Hearing the bell, a large group of children immediately shouted and ran away scrambling to be the first.

Not long after, the voice of Zi Baifeng giving a lecture came from above the bluestone.

Dahe originally planned to continue sleeping, but who knew the sound of the lecture drilled into his head, and after listening to a few words involuntarily, Dahe felt comfortable all over his body, and the aura and spirituality came from nowhere and penetrated into his body, making it Almost groaned in comfort.

This is... preaching!
Although the big crane is not a human being, after all, it has lived for hundreds of years. It has also heard of it. It is said that in the ancient times before ancient times, there were often powerful people who had attained the Tao and gave lectures. , Believers gathered, and the momentum was huge.

But now, he saw such a magnificent scene again, although it was only dozens of children, blue stones and old trees, white foxes and green snakes.

Who knows, I was listening to a sermon here, and I heard a few clucking sounds. Looking up, two old hens were cooing and launched a desperate charge against it. These two old hens came to find their eggs. Woolen cloth!
After recuperating for three consecutive days, Dahe basically recovered. During these three days, Zi Baifeng also came to question him a few times, asking him everything about what happened to him.

At the beginning, Dahe was in awe of Zi Baifeng. After all, Zi Baifeng killed the arrogant short and thin fairy with just one blow, and he was also a powerful person who could preach on the altar, but after a few days of contact, He discovered that this guy didn't have the courage to be a master at all, on the contrary, he was very strange.

Hearing Dahe's answer, saying that when he saw the short and thin fairy, he didn't see anyone else around, Zi Baifeng felt a little relieved. Seeing that he was still in a hurry, Dahe comforted him instead: "Don't worry, even though the inspecting immortal is dead, it won't take a while to find out the cause of death. And you have destroyed the corpse of the immortal, so it's fine if you don't admit it when the time comes. gone?"

"It's not as easy as you said, my family has a big business, is it easy for me? Don't lie here with your mother's body, get up and work for me!"

"I'm working!" Big Crane was very aggrieved, moved his buttocks, and showed Zi Baifeng the three eggs.

"What kind of work is this?" Zi Baifeng kicked him again: "Walking around!"

Just like that, Dahe turned back into the original red-haired, black-bearded man in white clothes, with three eggs in his arms.

This is the best dad.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Followed Zi Baifeng up to the bluestone—this was the first time for Dahe to climb up the bluestone, and he glanced left and right curiously.

"Get down and change back!" Zi Baifeng ordered loudly.

Dahe got down on the ground in a daze, and saw Zi Baifeng waved his hand, saying: "Okay, come on, one for each, don't take too much!"

A group of cubs rushed out from nowhere, screaming, crawling all over the big crane's body, tearing apart.

The trouble brought by the big crane is not the only thing that Zi Baifeng finds troublesome. Compared with these big troubles, daily trivial matters bother Zi Baifeng more.

One of the things is that the fine white flour in the village can no longer be sold at a high price.

One catty of wheat yields [-] taels of white flour, and the price difference is [-] to [-] percent, which is a mere profit. However, with the increase in grain prices, the price difference between white flour and grain gradually cannot make up for the loss of fine white flour.On this day, a villager bought grain from the city again. He planned to process it into white flour, but after pouring it in, he heard a rattling sound, and the stone mill stopped turning after a few strokes.

In the end, both Zijian and Shi San were tossed away, and when they lifted the millstone to have a look, they discovered that there were stones inside.

Check the bought grain again, mother, this unscrupulous profiteer actually mixed stones and scum in it!
Fortunately, the two stone mills are hard and have not been worn out, otherwise it would be a big loss.

Yan Lao Wu taught the careless villager a lesson, and immediately summoned the managers of all households. After such a discussion, it was concluded that this year's business could not be done at all, so let's change it!

There is a saying that in this kind of famine year, even the landlord’s family has no surplus food. In the past, those mountain delicacies that could be sold in the city can’t be sold at any price now. Every family can’t even afford food. , where else can I eat delicacies from mountains and seas?
It is said that cheap food hurts farmers, but expensive food hurts the country!

Speaking of everyone in Xiayan Village, these days their thinking is much more active than before, and they are used to having a side job to subsidize their families. They have no extra income for a while, and they are all in a hurry.

Not to mention, someone really has a good idea, and one person said: "I heard that the disaster in Mengcheng is serious, and the grain harvest is not bad three or four hundred miles to the south. Why don't we go and get some grain to sell?"

This is a good idea, but some people have objected to it. With such a long distance, there are bandits running rampant on the road now. Let alone whether it can be pulled, even if it can be pulled, it is hard to say how much profit it will make when we return to Mengcheng.

The villagers spoke with each other, and the elder Baifeng, the Zhengzi of Jiuyan Township, was very pleased. These villagers are becoming more and more economical.
