Chapter 207

Xiao Yao's eyes flickered slightly, but she picked up the wine cup and said softly: "Master Village Chief, you drank too much."

"Hehe, girl, I didn't drink too much. Look, I know it's just here." Village head Liu smiled, and proudly stretched out a finger in front of her eyes, "They just want to I want the treasures in our village, but the ancestors said, hehe..., you can't say it, you can't say it..." He smiled mysteriously and drank another large bowl of wine.

Xiao Yao smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and continued drinking and chatting with the villagers in the village.

But those monks pretending to be refugees are not so calm. The hearing of monks is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. The conversation between the village head and Xiao Yao just now was clear to the ear. Xiao Yao caught a glimpse of several people's eyes Jing Guang was very excited, but at this moment he had to pretend to be calm, his fidgeting expression made people laugh.

After drinking for a while, Village Chief Liu suddenly stood up unsteadily, his face was full of drunkenness, and even his tongue was a little knotted: "I...I...go out for a while, stay for a while... Come back and continue."

Seeing him dragging his trousers with one hand, he was afraid that he was going to lie down in the toilet because he drank too much. The villagers saw that the village chief was drunk like this, and kindly said, "Master village chief, do you need our help?"

Village Chief Liu hurriedly shook his hand, still slurring his words: "It's okay! I haven't reached that level yet, none of you are allowed to follow, or you will all punish yourself with three bowls of wine!"

Everyone laughed, and he let him go, but not long after Village Chief Liu left, the monks also quietly walked out, saying that they were also a little anxious.

Xiao Yao squinted her eyes slightly, her eyes seemed drunk and hazy, she watched them leave with a smile on her face, but she wondered in her heart how could it be so simple with Zi Dong's involvement, and the best way to deal with it was to follow her heart, Let nature take its course, otherwise you will only let yourself feel frustrated, and the treasure monkey in the Immortal Mansion can't wait.

Withdrawing her eyes, she continued to drink until the illusory silver moon was about to fall, but she never saw those monks and the village head returning to their seats.After eating this meal, she was officially accepted by the villagers of Zidong Village and became a member of the village, temporarily living in the side room of the village chief's house.

At dawn on the second day, Xiao Yao wiped her face to get rid of the smell of alcohol, and went to the farmland at the entrance of the village. When she left the village, she saw that the village chief was already busy plowing the land.Looking at his flushed face, full of energy, without the slightest fatigue after a hangover, it can be seen that he is in good health, and I don't know if those few Jindan monks asked about any connections last night.

But she didn't inquire, but after greeting the village chief, she did her duty as a villager and followed behind the village chief to help out.Back in the village, Xiao Yao washed her hands at the only old well in the center of the village and was about to go back to the house for dinner. At this time, an old lady in her 40s came by, looked around carefully for a while, approached her and said softly: " I said big sister, I have been watching for so long, you are the most affordable girl among you refugees, I just happened to encounter something and I want to ask you, it is about your fellow countrymen, I don’t know if you are convenient convenient."

Although she was misunderstood as a village resident, Xiao Yao still patiently replied with a smile: "It's okay, the next room is just empty, you can ask, auntie."

"Look, look, the big girl is straightforward, and I knew that I didn't find the wrong person," the aunt was delighted to see her cooperate so much, and she became more intimate with her, holding her in one arm The arm deliberately lowered the voice again, "Big sister, tell me the truth, isn't your village very poor? So poor that you don't even have a pig?"

scare? !Xiao Yao was startled for a moment, but she didn't understand what the aunt meant.

Seeing her ignorant expression, the aunt confirmed what she was thinking, and said with a sympathetic look: "Sister, it's not shameful to be poor. The people in our village are very nice. We don't look down on poor people. We only look down on lazy people." Bad guys, so if you boldly say that you are afraid, we will not drive you away."

Where did this come from, Xiao Yao still didn't understand the implication of the aunt's words, but after thinking about it, she felt that although monks don't measure the rich and the poor by whether they have pigs or not, they really have no one to raise them, so Following her literal meaning, she replied: "Well, it seems that few people have pigs."

At this moment, the aunt immediately looked like you think I'm right, and thought: How poor is the village that can't even raise a pig, it's so pitiful!

"Let me just say, why do your fellow countrymen circle around my pigsty? There have been several groups of people here since last night and this morning. If you say they just watch it, you have to talk about getting lost or passing by. Just take a look, there are only a few roads in our village, how can there be so many wrong roads, I guess they are here to see my pigs, oh, how pitiful, I’m afraid they will go crazy thinking about pork It’s right. But sister and the others can’t do anything if they continue to look at it like this. My pigs have been frightened by them coming and going from yesterday to today, so that they can’t even eat well. There is no more meat..., big sister? Big sister, are you listening to me?"

When the aunt was talking on the topic, she caught a glimpse of what Xiao Yao was thinking, and the corners of her lips were slightly bent, so she had to stop talking and call her back to her senses.

Xiao Yao thought quickly, and after a while, she continued to smile and look at the aunt in front of her like a normal person: "Of course I'm listening. The aunt just said that the pig was disturbed and refused to eat. You are worried."

"Yes, yes, yes, big sister, how can you say this, I thought about it later, our family is not a stingy family, since big sister and fellow villagers want to eat pork and think they will go crazy, why don't I slaughter the big fat Pig, please have a good meal for them, and I can give them some piglets in the future and teach them how to raise pigs for a living, so sister, please go and tell them that I will invite them to eat good pork at home tomorrow!"

In this small, isolated village, the villagers are self-sufficient, and there is less bad atmosphere from the outside world. They are naturally kind and honest. It seems that my aunt really thinks that these "vagrants" in the village are displaced and living in poverty. Invite them to a feast, then let yourself pass a message.

It's a pity that these monks are not real refugees. Xiao Yao suddenly felt that it was not worthwhile to let the aunt lose a pig because of this. Besides, she was not familiar with those monks, so she might not be able to accept this kind of favor if she really went to ask others. The purpose of these Jindan monks Why she is very clear.Since last night, wandering around the pigsty intentionally or unintentionally must have something to do with what the village chief said yesterday.Immediately said: "No need, aunt. Although there were no pigs in our village before, there were some regional livestock. They are not as poor as you think. They may hang around your pigpen for other reasons, such as If you say you want to get something for nothing, find some treasures in the village, let's just ignore them."

"Treasures in the village?!" The aunt was stunned for a moment, then she stamped her feet and laughed loudly, covering her stomach, "Oh, you are so good at joking, big sister, there is no treasure in our village, even if there is, it is impossible Put it in the pigsty!"

Xiao Yao also agreed with a smile: "I think so, but I haven't seen it personally, I'm afraid they won't give up."

After the aunt giggled enough, she patted her hand affectionately and said: "Big sister, for the sake of fellow countrymen, don't bother to make fun of them, tell them quickly, we pigs There is nothing in the pen, but there is a granary behind the pigsty. Our village head always likes to say that this is where everyone’s grain and food for the winter are stored. They are all treasures of the village. The animals are taken in their mouths. There is neither silver nor gold buried there. If they really want to find treasures, they can go to the treasures left by the Zidong Immortal. It is too ambitious to think about food in our village. Smaller."

"The treasure of Immortal Zidong?!" Xiao Yao repeated the words, her forehead twitching unconsciously.

The aunt got excited when she heard that she was interested: "Yes, I heard from my ancestors that our village was built with the help of a fairy named Zidong. A fairy moved the mountain here and brought water to it, so that our ancestors were able to continue their descendants here. It is said that the fairy ascended here and left a lot of treasures. It is said that he left a sentence before ascension: The treasure is here. But since the existence of the village, no one has been able to find the fairy's treasure. Over time, everyone thinks that this is a joke made by the ancestors and us."

"It's true and false, and it may not be groundless," she pondered slightly, then raised her head and asked, "Auntie, where is it rumored that this Immortal Zidong ascended?"

"Here, it's right there." The aunt stretched out her hand and pointed to a temple-like place behind the village, "Our village's ancestral hall, but you can only enter it if you are recognized by the village chief as a villager. If you want to go in, and The village head will say yes, and other people may not be able to do it, but the village head is full of praise for the big girl, he has already agreed that you become a part of our village!"

Xiao Yao said politely: "Auntie is too flattering, it's just that the village head is more enthusiastic."

After hearing this, the aunt winked at her, "Hey, I know better than you the temperament of the elder sister, the village head. He just saw that you are strong and easy to work. Otherwise, how could you be so enthusiastic? Don't think too well of him. Slightly, so as not to suffer. Well, it’s getting late, and I should go back to cook. Big sister, you should go back early, and don’t forget to tell my aunt and your fellow countrymen to stop harassing our pigs. "

"I will, Auntie, go slowly." Xiao Yao agreed with her mouth, but she understood in her heart that this small village was watched by countless gods, and no trouble could be hidden from those powerful people, let alone this The aunt's voice is so loud, maybe there are many monks who have visited the pigsty secretly beating their chests and feet, hating the village chief to death.

Although Xiao Yao had received some news, she was not in a hurry to go to the ancestral hall. After all, there were many powerful people around, so she went back to the village chief's house to prepare meals as usual.

When she stepped into the front hall of the house, she found that many refugees disguised as monks had gathered here, and they all came to petition to become villagers.A large group of them suddenly appeared, and it was difficult not to make people suspect that they were tricky. They also blamed themselves for being too high, thinking that the other party was just a mortal, and even if they couldn't use spells, they were a hundred times stronger than the other party.

It's just that they all underestimated the village head, the old fox. He rolled his small eyes, stroked his beard, and said leisurely, "Want to be a villager? Want to enter the ancestral hall? All right!" All the cultivators looked happy, At this time, he heard his voice change, "But you have to show some ability. How about this? Now it's time for spring plowing, and many fields in the village have not been plowed well, let alone planting seedlings, fertilizing, and irrigating. Here you go." How about plowing, planting, and fertilizing twenty acres of land in half a month, and let you become villagers?"

Swish, the faces of all the monks turned green.
