Our cultivator in the village

Chapter 2
The old Taoist clamored for a while, Wei Jiang only understood two or three of the ten sentences, and the unexpected joy was that he got a dozen copper coins out of thin air, and the food for these two or three days was settled.He wrapped the copper coin in a rag, carefully stuffed it into the waistband of his trousers, tied a knot in his crotch, and shook his head to feel at ease.

This day, Weijiang wandered around again.

Winter in Anzhou is earlier than usual this year.In the middle of winter, Wei Jiang felt thin. He heard that several people died of freezing in the stone bridge hole in the west of the city, so he hurried over, maybe he could get some clothes and supplies.As a result, when I looked up from the bridge, I saw a corpse that had been stripped naked and thrown by the river.

He shook his head, tightened his old cotton trousers which were full of holes, and left unhappily.

Two days later, despite the savings and savings, the copper coins in Weijiang's trouser waist were reduced by a few more.He turned his head to look for the old Taoist fortune teller, but there was no trace of the old Taoist.He still returned to the ruined temple, gathered a lot of straw from the nearby farmer's barn, stuffed it under the incense table, and continued to go into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Wei Jiang had a chicken leg in his left hand and a roast goose in his right hand. Before he could bring it to his mouth, there was a commotion outside.Wei Jiang scolded, "Damn it, I haven't eaten it yet." Just as he was about to turn over and continue dreaming, a piece of black felt covering his head was removed by someone.

Wei Jiang opened his sleepy eyes, and a shiny bald head appeared in front of his eyes, and scolded: "Tang Xiaoxian, why don't you go to sleep, why are you messing with me?"

This bald head is Tang Xiaoxian from the same village.

This child is as big as Wei Jiang, but thinner than Wei Jiang, so Wei Jiang usually beats and scolds him, but he smiles and doesn't care about it.Tang Xiaoxian's head was covered with scabies, between the potholes, the head full of lice wandered back and forth, like traveling in mountains and rivers, it was really infiltrating.It was his luck, a few days ago in Anzhou City, the boy met a young apprentice who shaved his head. The apprentice wanted to practice his skills, and the winter melon for practicing knives was gone, so he tried Tang Xiaoxian's knife.Tang Xiaoxian lied to the apprentice to shave his head bald. Although a few cuts were pulled, his hair was shiny and shiny. Tang Xiaoxian became more arrogant and often went to Weijiang to show off.

At this time, Tang Xiaoxian's face was covered with sweat, he probably ran from a distance, he shook Wei Jiang's shoulder and said: "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, I found a good family, followed others, and I can eat a lot of food." It has a round belly."

Hearing that there was something to eat, Wei Jiang cheered up, and said happily, "There is something to eat? What kind of food? Where is it?"

Tang Xiaoxian said: "Yaya in the next village told me about it—others said, follow them into the rivers and lakes, and eat and drink every day."

Wei Jiang said: "Others—others, they are lying to you."

Tang Xiaoxian said: "Cut, I've been there. It's a big family. I'm helping them find someone. Just now I ate a big steamed bun over there, and I saw other people cutting meat with a knife. Meat, one finger wide!" He sizzled, sucked back the hala that flowed from the corner of his mouth, and compared it with his fingers.

As soon as he heard the big fat meat, Wei Jiang felt the roundworms in his stomach crawling towards his throat, and kept calling: "Go, go! Let's eat first! If you find a fart, we should eat first."

Tang Xiaoxian said: "Brother Jiang, I was told that they only want children over ten years old and under 15 years old, deaf or blind, the more clever the better. Speaking of clever ghosts, I think of you first. "The child muttered, and continued to say razor-sharp words, Wei Jiang was impatient, and dragged Tang Xiaoxian to run to find this "big family".

After leaving the city gate, Wei Jiang followed Tang Xiaoxian with one high kick and one low kick, and it took almost two hours for him to walk.The two walked with short steps, sweating profusely and panting all the way.The farther you go, the farther you get from Anzhou City, and you climb over two bare mountains in the middle, and you don't stop until a deserted slope.

I saw a dilapidated courtyard, in the ruined well, full of wild smoke and weeds, and a few dead trees protruded feebly from a half-collapsed tile-roofed house.

Wei Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he scolded, "Tang Xiaoxian, you call this a rich family? Is there a rich family like this?"

Tang Xiaoxian smiled apologetically, "Brother Jiang, don't worry. If it wasn't for a wealthy family, who would have the money to cook meat for us these days?"

Wei Jiang scolded: "You god, this place where the birds don't shit, be careful that others will turn us into razor meat!"

Wei Jiang hesitated for a moment, but he is a stingy character, he is not afraid of wearing shoes if he is barefoot, since he has come so far, he has to eat meat before leaving, so he no longer hesitates, and follows Tang Xiaoxian to give Shi ran into the courtyard.

Waiting to come in and take a look, sure enough, the cooking smoke was curling up, and a smell of meat wafted from the ear room.Wei Jiang took a few mouthfuls of the aroma of the meat, and saw that dozens of children, big and small, had gathered in the courtyard. As Tang Xiaoxian said, the older ones were no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones were around ten years old.The children chattered and chatted, but it was nothing more than the big white steamed buns and the meat with a finger-wide blade for dinner.

"Night is stewed pork vermicelli."

"No, I heard it's Chinese cabbage stewed pork slices, look at the cabbage clapper at the door."

"I don't care, it's delicious! But I still prefer pork stewed vermicelli. The last time I ate this was when I was seven years old."

"I dreamed about eating meat yesterday, it was true!" said a little girl, sucking her finger.

Wei Jiang thought to himself, this meal is not gone.He glanced left and right, only saw that the courtyard was full of gaps, thinking to himself, if there is something weird here, after eating, he took Tang Xiaoxian and fled over the wall.

The children chattered for more than half an hour, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and a bright moon slowly climbed over the treetops.Hearing soft footsteps, several men in black came out from the back room.These men are tough, some of them have deep eyes, high noses, and big yellow beards. They obviously don't look like locals. What they have in common is that these men all wear long robes with a moon embroidered with golden silk thread on the hem of the robes. But the moon was mostly a waning moon. Wei Jiang looked at several people, and only one person had a full moon.It can be seen that this person has the highest position in this group.

A group of men in black bowed their heads and whispered for a while, all talking nonsense.After speaking, the two of them brought out a large pot from the side room, stirred it with a big spoon, the white pork slices were mixed with vermicelli, and the cabbage rolled up, the meat was fragrant.The children were so happy that they danced and surrounded them while sucking their saliva.

"Wait a minute", at this time a dark-faced young woman blocked a group of children.The woman grinned, and the pink gums protruded from her scorched teeth like maggots. The woman spoke the official dialect of the Central Plains, and said loudly: "Good boys!"

The children were silent, listening to the woman.

"Honorable Moon God, the great Luna Worship Sect! The leader of My God Sect has pity on these children who are suffering and suffering in Middle-earth. He has given blessings and let us prepare a sumptuous dinner for you here. You are willing to enjoy the blessings of the God Sect Are you willing to dedicate yourself to the Supreme Moon God?"

The children said in unison: "Yes!"

"Children, after eating, we still have a sacred ceremony! As long as you convert to the moon god, you will have three hearty meals every day, including delicious pork, beef, mutton, and free steamed buns. Are you willing? ?”

The children said in unison: "Yes!"

With a wave of the woman's hand, three baskets of steaming steamed buns were brought out from the side room.

"Enjoy this sumptuous dinner to the fullest, children! The great Luna is supreme!" The woman clasped her hands facing the moon in the sky, and said a few words in her mouth silently, indicating that the children could start eating.

Seeing that the older children followed suit, the woman made eleven obeisances to the moon hanging from the treetops, and she smiled as a token of her appreciation.The other children didn't care about this, they shouted, took the steamed buns, and like a group of piglets, picked up the fat slices in the pot to eat.For a while, the yard was filled with the joyful air of pigs feeding and the sound of eating.

Wei Jiang was full of doubts.He wanted to leave, but saw two men in black guarding the door.He rolled his eyes, rubbed his stomach a few times, and sat down on the ground.The woman came over and said softly: "Little brother, why don't you hurry up and enjoy the dinner given by the moon god?"

Wei Jiang said: "Auntie, I smell the smell of meat - I can't bear it! I haven't eaten meat for several years, my stomach is weak, I can't bear it, my stomach hurts, and I want to poop."

The woman showed a look of disgust, and when she pouted, a man walked over beside her.She said: "Take this little brother to the latrine and urge him to hurry up."

Wei Jiang obediently followed the man to the hut at the back of the courtyard, dawdled for a long time, and actually did some shit.When they returned to the yard, most of the children had finished eating, and all of them were belching and talking about the enjoyment of the meal.Seeing that Tang Xiaoxian still had a piece of fat in his hand, Wei Jiang asked in a low voice, "Is there any problem?"

There was still a piece of fat in Tang Xiaoxian's cheek that he hadn't swallowed, and he replied vaguely: "It's delicious, it's terrible."

Seeing that Tang Xiaoxian's two hundred and five answers were irrelevant to the question, Wei Jiang felt overwhelmed, thinking that he would eat as soon as he had eaten, even if he died, he would be a full ghost first.So regardless of Sanqi 21, I took a broken bowl, scooped a large spoonful of pork vermicelli, grabbed two big steamed buns, and started eating.

Finally, Tang Xiaoxian was full. He sat on the ground with his knees hugged, grunting happily like a pig, and said: "My mother told me that pork stewed vermicelli is delicious."

Wei Jiang swallowed two steamed buns like the wind and clouds.The woman got impatient with waiting, when she saw that Wei Jiang had finished eating, she clapped her hands, and a group of children stood around her.

The woman gave a sinister smile and said, "Good boys, you are all well-behaved citizens of the Moon God."

After all, the man beside her became busy like a butterfly wearing flowers.In a short while, a simple wooden platform was moved out from the back room, with a hole in the middle, and three giant woods were cross-bundled at the edge to stand up, forming a huge wooden shelf.Then, several men in black groaned and lifted out a huge cauldron to stand in the hollow.The huge tripod has two erect ears and three hoofed feet, and it might weigh a thousand catties. The tripod is filled with dark green concoction, and there are strings of bubbles gurgling.After the giant tripod was put in place, a group of men moved out a wooden ladder, one of them climbed up the wooden ladder, and put a green emerald orb on the top of the wooden shelf.

After these were arranged properly, a group of men in black guided the children to sit down on the small tables arranged according to the directions around the yard.

A pale-faced middle-aged man walked up to the woman, patted her on the shoulder to express his approval, and said: "Miss Liu, you have done a good job. After the incident, the leader will reward you." The woman said: "It all depends on Ji Tan In charge of the general manager, the little girl is nothing more than a trivial contribution."

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "These children have eaten and drank enough, and they are full of air. It's a good time to do it."

After all, the middle-aged man held a black command flag, walked slowly up the platform, put his hands together in front of the orb on the top of the giant tripod, bowed and saluted, waved the black flag in his hand, and called out "sickness", A few giant candles inserted around the courtyard at unknown times suddenly lit up, burning a finger-thick medicine twister beeping wildly, and the medicine fragrance in the dark green flames was rich, and the medicine fragrance mixed with sandalwood, making people feel uneasy. Look tired, drowsy.

At this time, the middle-aged man took a medicine pestle from a disciple in black and stirred it a few times in the medicine cauldron. The dark green slurry in the medicine cauldron suddenly boiled, and countless hot bubbles burst out.As the bubble exploded, the unidentified gas that made people want to be drunk gathered on the emerald green orb, and the surrounding mist of the orb was transpiring, and the orb became brighter and brighter.The middle-aged man shouted loudly: "Moon Soul Warm Xiao Fen Yan Yi Liao Wan Void Spirit Orchid Yu Hua Jie Qiao Chun Jin Qing Ying Jiong Rong's logo... The origin of the law... The Rakshasa of the heavens... Obtain orders!"

Wei Jiang was baffled.When the middle-aged man uttered a series of incantations, every time the man uttered a word, his own heartbeat seemed to match his rhythm, beating violently.When he looked around, the younger children were already in a daze, their eyes fixed on the emerald green bead and remained motionless, a gust of white gas that seemed to be nothing came out from the child's fontanelle, towards the The emerald orbs gathered together.The older children were also restless, their eyes rolled up, and their faces showed pain.

Wei Jiang's heart is not good, he can't restrain his heart like a drum, his mind is in chaos, he vaguely hears countless ghosts crying and howling wolves, and even a vague voice calling his name in the dark, his body is agitated, as if the soul is in the consciousness Struggling desperately in the sea, he wanted to break through the fontanel on his forehead.

Wei Jiang was cruel, bit the tip of his tongue, and at the moment when his consciousness was clear, he silently said "don't listen, don't listen", desperately resisting this evil cult.
