Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 49

Work at sunrise, and rest at sunset.

When the setting sun fell from the peak of Bone Mountain, the people at the foot of the mountain came back from their work one after another.

On the Bone Road, there is a bone lamp hanging every hundred steps, and there is an old man in the mountain who is responsible for lighting the lamp.

It’s late, don’t worry, the bone lamp is very durable, the light is not too bright, and the wind can’t blow it out.

The last batch are the sentries at the tollbooth.

After entering the mountain, the mountain gate is closed.

Originally, there was no mountain gate in Kugu Mountain, but it fought fiercely with Baihu Village that year and made a mountain gate.

It looks very rudimentary, just a door tied with iron chains. At the intersection, when the mountain gate is dropped at night, there are actually several layers of trap protection inside.

There are several rows of iron spikes buried in the soil.

When they came to the bone mountain, everyone would still kneel down in a habitual way.

But now there are no longer piles of human bones on the bone mountain, but colorful cloth strips are hung.

Little Master Shenyou likes colors.

When she was about to leave, she staggered to the top of the bone mountain and hung a red cloth on it.

Later, everyone hung up the beautifully colored cloth strips one after another.

When the wind blows, the cloth strips rattle, and the colorful colors are very beautiful.

After bowing down to Bone Mountain, everyone went back to eat.

A Lu, the small owner of the tea stall in front of Dazelin at the foot of the mountain, also came back.

But he still has a bunch of people with him today.

In the morning, Xiao Wu tied these people to the toll office, in order to ask if they should be handed over to the government.

It's just that these people shouted loudly that they were from the capital, and the border officials didn't care about them, so they waited for Ah Lu to deal with it.

Ah Lu brought these people back.

Now in the mountains, when there are major events, everyone will discuss and decide.

Bind these people in front of the bone mountain pile, and Ah Lu also went to eat first.

He still lives in the wooden house on the grassland.

But now, the cabin has become bigger, and another room has been built next to it, and Xiao Wu and Ah Xun also live there.

Uncle Ba was still watching the horses.

Shenyou has her own little bed now, and she doesn’t need to sleep on grass. Her little bed was made by her brother himself, and it is very strong.

Meals are also richer than before. Instead of just a big pot of black steamed buns, there are now white flour steamed buns, vegetables, meat, and soup.

Xiao Wu's appetite is very large, maybe he was hungry before, but after he had something to eat, he ate a lot at every meal.

The skinny kid in the past is now dark and strong, taller than A Lu, like a small black tower.

Let him recite Ah Xun now, and he can recite it easily.

But now Ah Xun's health is better than before. Dr. Hu on the mountain is good at medicine, and he healed Ah Xun's feet. Now Ah Xun can walk by himself.

A Lu is still thin and tall, eats a lot, but has not gained weight.

Little Shenyou has grown from a round ball to a long strip, and now she is chubby and cute.

The only thing that hasn't changed much is Uncle Ba.

Still carrying a big hunchback, well, there are more gray hairs, but also more smiles.

There are four young children in the family, which is very lively.

After a meal, it is very lively.

Except for Xiao Shenyou who is still eating for free, everyone else has something to do.

A Lu is the leader of the sentinel, responsible for inquiring about news.

Xiaowu works at the toll booth, responsible for those who don't want to pay the toll, and other thieves who are robbed along the way.

Ah Xun looks like he is just reading a book, but in fact he does most of the work. The income and expenditure distribution in the cottage is all done by Ah Xun, and Ah Xun has been working with the third master.

And Xiao Shenyou is the heir designated by the head of the family. He doesn't have to work at all, and he gets money every month. On the contrary, he is the wealthiest among the group of people.

Seeing her younger sister eating a mouthful of rice, and then a mouthful of meat, she always avoids the vegetables in the bowl, A Lu said with a serious face: "You have to finish the vegetables, otherwise you won't grow taller."

"That's right, sister, look at me, I can eat anything, and I'm growing fast." Xiao Wu hurriedly said on the side.

Xiao Shenyou looked at the green vegetables in his bowl with disgust, shook his head confidently and said, "I don't want to grow taller, and no one will hug me when I grow taller."

"Who said that when you grow taller, my brother will hug you too." Ah Lu said with a headache.

The old bus looked like the head of the family, concentrating on eating, with a smile on his face.

"Fifth brother is very tall, everyone can't hold it." Xiao Shenyou pointed to Xiao Wu who was like an iron tower.

Ah Lu: ...

"I won't eat vegetables, so I won't take you out to play at night." Ah Xun who was eating quietly said suddenly.

Ok……

Xiao Shenyou looked at Brother Xun, then at Brother Wu and Brother who nodded in agreement, and Uncle Ba who didn't express his opinion, and stuffed vegetables into his mouth with difficulty.

It's really hard to eat.

The small face was full of awkwardness, seeing that brother Xun picked up another chopstick of vegetables for himself, Xiao Shenyou's face turned green.

It took Xiao Shenyou a lot of work to finish a meal.

Xiao Wu helped Uncle Ba clean up the dishes, and Ah Lu washed Shenyou.

Ah Xun picked up the book again, looking unwilling to waste any time.

After packing up, a group of people went to the cottage meeting hall together.

The moon and stars are sparse, and tomorrow will be sunny again.

The meeting hall is very simple, just a big empty room.

It was filled with wooden benches.

The third master is already sitting at the front.

Lady Luo saw Shenyou, and hugged her to the middle of the top.

It was a bit chaotic, and everyone chatted separately.

When everyone was almost there, the third master took a lump of iron stone and knocked heavily on the table.

There was a "bang bang bang" sound.

The entire meeting hall slowly fell silent.

The third master cleared his throat and said, "The first thing tonight is to discuss what to do with the traffickers caught today? You can raise any ideas you have."

In the past, the cottage was basically one-sided, and whatever the head of the family said was what he said, no one dared to object, well, those who objected were dead.

Now that the head of the family is also dead, the heir appointed by the head of the family is still a little girl who can't sit still, so it has become this model, everyone can discuss it, and then they can choose someone to speak, and the speech will be recorded. If you accept it, there will be rewards, and the rewards are very simple, a piece of bacon, a piece of cloth or something, and it will be distributed on the spot after the discussion, so those who get the things will have face.

In this way, when something happens, everyone speaks enthusiastically and cautiously.

"Send it to the government, don't cause that trouble..."

As soon as someone said this, he was immediately refuted.

"I didn't hear those people say that they are from the capital. We haven't left after sending them in. They might be released. There will be more and more babies on the mountain in the future. What if they come to steal babies again?"

It's about everyone, and we're all very nervous.

Everyone didn't notice, I don't know when it started to have a baby in the mountains, it seems that it happened after Alu and his sister went up the mountain.

A group of people were tied up in the corner. When Xiao Wu came in, he dragged them in one by one. Now he looked at the room full of strong people with horror, trembling.

Were they really taken into a village?
Why is it that any old man who cleans chairs has a scar on the back of his head...

"If you want me to tell you, the third master, don't be so troublesome. When did we in Baigu Village become so afraid of people? These beasts actually attacked children. The nearby villages said that many children were lost. According to me, just chop them up and feed them to the dogs." A man in the crowd shouted.

The third master waved his hand, and said with a serious face: "I've said it all, you should call me Mr., we are decent and good people, don't mention the nickname of the third master, we are not Baiguzhai, we are Baigu Village, just open your mouth and keep talking." Killing, killing, shame."

The little Shenyou who was sitting in the chair in the middle was a little sleepy after eating, and was startled when he heard the third uncle's sudden loud voice, and then shouted: "Shame on me!"
