Mist Fairy

Chapter 259 The Winter is Coming
foggy world.It's the middle of winter now.People in the village are getting more and more happy, because the Chinese New Year is coming!
Every year, the Spring Festival is a day for them to celebrate. From this day onwards, the village no longer sets a curfew.From this day on, everyone can drink and feast until dawn, and they can visit freely at night.Red lanterns will be hung on the street, and a faint red light will shine on the street, making it difficult for people to see the road clearly.

And at this time, it is also the time when the snow falls the heaviest. The thick snow will cover the roofs, streets, and freeze the rivers and fields.Everyone has nothing to do, and most of them will hide at home, sitting around the fire.

This year, there is Fengwu's fried tea technology, so that everyone can drink hot tea in winter.While warming up by the fire, chatting, eating snacks, and looking at the snowy scenery outside, this day is not to mention how pleasant it is.

Some time ago, Feng Wu was busy for a long time, and finally produced a lot of tea for sale.These tea leaves are now used by villagers.

Today, several artisans in the village gathered at the village head's house, drinking tea and chatting.

As the only tea maker in the village, Feng Wu was also invited to the village chief's home.At this time, she didn't know what happened, and she was chatting with Aunt Li, the tailor.

There are not many women among craftsmen, and Aunt Li has the best relationship with Fengwu.Because Feng Wu gave her a lot of very beautiful clothes.After all, Feng Wu is a princess, she has a lot of beautiful clothes, and she has insight into aesthetics and styles.

"Auntie, what day is it today? Why are you all here?" Feng Wu asked Tailor Li in a low voice.

Tailor Li also said in a low voice, "Today is the day to discuss merits and demerits."

"On merits and demerits?" Feng Wu blinked, showing a confused expression.

Tailor Li said in a low voice: "It's just to judge others. Every year, everyone has to do this. They judge other people's good and bad, and then tell the god of the big shrine during the big sacrifice."

When Feng Wu heard this, he was startled, and then remembered something.She said, "That's not good, isn't it talking about other people's right and wrong later on?"

Tailor Li nodded and said: "Yes, but this is the village rule. The village chief said that only by commenting on his merits and demerits can he know whether he has contributed to the village. If he has meritorious deeds, he will be rewarded and if he has demerits, he will be punished. This is only fair. "

After she finished speaking, she continued: "I think the village chief is right. If you don't comment, everyone will have no motivation. And in fact, it's not a big deal, and it won't affect anything."

She thought about it and said, "You are a newcomer. If you can't hide your face and say something bad about others, then you should praise others. That's fine."

After Feng Wu heard this, he stopped talking.She understood that this could not be without problems.Brother Zhang has already told her many things.One of them is that people here will change their status in the next year.

Those who do well will remain in the human body, or return to the human body.If it is not done well, it will be reduced to a beast.If the wild beasts can't do well, they will turn into chickens, ducks and fish, and become meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

But what she didn't expect was that this rating was not made by some divine way, but by everyone.

Feng Wu looked at the people he looked at, there were about 30 people here, all of them were craftsmen.Most farmers and woodcutters are not qualified to come.In other words, it is the 30 people here who can determine the future of others!

Everyone drank tea for a while, and then the village head said, "Everyone understands what day it is today, so you can speak freely if you have anything to say."

After his words fell, a person stood up and said: "Village chief, this time I want to talk about Wu Dali in the village. This kid doesn't work hard. The last time he passed by my house while driving a cow, he actually let the cow shit at my door." !"

"That's plausible! He doesn't even herd cows properly, so I'm going to give him a review this time."

Feng Wu looked at this man, she recognized this man, he was the village's paper paper master, almost all the lanterns and lanterns in the village were made by him.Unexpectedly, he is such a stingy person, what does bullshit have to do with people?Do you hate others because of this little thing?
The village chief nodded and asked, "Did he clean up afterward?"

"It's been cleaned up, but he just didn't do it right." The papermaker still said.

The village chief nodded and took a pen to record it.In this way, everyone talked about it in a hurry, mostly about trivial matters.Originally, it was difficult for any major event to happen in the village.

After speaking one by one, they soon arrived at Fengwu.Feng Wu pondered for a while, then stood up and said: "I don't have any problems here, so I won't talk about it."

Those who could abstain, several artisans abstained.

After she finished speaking, she went to Tailor Li beside her.Tailor Li stood up, she first smiled, and then said: "I have nothing to say to other people, but here I want to criticize sister Fengwu. She knows a lot of beautiful clothes styles, but I just hide it and don't say it, I think it's not good, so that everyone won't have beautiful clothes to wear! She should be more magnanimous."

Feng Wu was greatly surprised by her words, she never thought that Li Tailor, who was always nice to her, would speak ill of her at this time.

Then at this time, Tailor Li smiled at Feng Wu and said, "Sister, don't blame Auntie for talking about you. Auntie is such a person, and she is straightforward. Don't mind."

After she finished speaking, she sat down with a smile on her face.Feng Wu was also stunned, whether she really didn't understand the consequences of saying bad things here, or she really thought it was harmless.

If it's the former, then Tailor Li is really bad. If it's the latter, then she's not that bad, but just a little stupid.

Hearing this, the village chief frowned, and then said: "Feng Wu just came to the village, and I don't know you very well, so how can I talk to you about everything. You are a bit too much, and Feng Wu's cooking skills are top-notch, and the work Diligent and kind. It's not as bad as you said."

The village head was justifying Feng Wu, and the others nodded after hearing this, thinking that what the village head said was reasonable.

So the village head said: "Since everyone agrees, then I won't write down this one." Hearing what the village head said, Tailor Li also laughed dryly and said: "I will just express my opinion. Sister Fengwu doesn't have any bad feelings." After speaking, she smiled at Fengwu.

The matter was exposed like this, and it didn't take long for more than 30 people to speak.Most of them comment on those who were not present, and rarely comment on the craftsmen who were present.

After the meeting, the village head called Feng Wu to stop him, and said to her meaningfully: "Feng Wu, don't be nervous, this Tailor Li is such a person, he will come here once a year, your performance is very good, and the God of the Great Society will also satisfying."

Feng Wu nodded to the village chief and said, "I see, I didn't really care too much."

The village head nodded, then waved her away.

When Feng Wu got home, he told Zhang Cundao what happened today.After hearing her words, Zhang Cundao analyzed: "According to what you said, these craftsmen are the 'high-level' in the village, and they have the right to vote for others..."

"However, from this point of view, it seems that these craftsmen will not be completely cleaned up... Especially the village chief, he may even retain the memory of each year..."

In fact, if you think about it, if all the memories of craftsmen are emptied, what about those crafts?It is possible that most of the memory was deleted, and then a little memory was left, or even a hint was left instead of a memory.

And that's the only way it makes sense.

While Zhang Cundao was talking to Feng Wu, suddenly there was a dog barking in the backyard.Zhang Cundao's heart moved, and he hurried to the backyard.

In the backyard, the master was fighting with a big bad wolf. The big bad wolf was obviously not the master's opponent. After being bitten by the master a few times, his eyes showed signs of retreat, and then ran away.

The master didn't chase after it, just watched it run away.

Zhang Cundao looked at the disappearing figure of the big bad wolf, and suddenly said: "I understand, what's going on these days."

Feng Wu said strangely: "What's going on?"

Zhang Cundao smiled and said: "From the beginning of the new year, there will be no curfew in the village. Everyone can move around freely. There are also more people walking around the streets to drink at night. If there are wild animals attacking at this time, what will happen? "

When Feng Wu heard it, she immediately understood, and she said: "According to the rules, if a wild animal kills a villager, it can replace the villager as a villager next year, and the killed villager, no matter what the evaluation is, will become a villager. Beast!"

"So the days from New Year's Eve to New Year's Eve are the last chance for the beast!" Feng Wu understood.

Zhang Cundao nodded and said, "That's right, that's it. It seems that the next few days will be uneven."

Zhang Cundao estimated that in the next few days, foreign beasts would frequently attack the village.These beasts may have a voice telling them that killing a villager will do them great good.This kind of news may be engraved in the bones.

Zhang Cundao said: "In the future, we'd better not go out at night. The beasts here are not ordinary beasts. They are all wounded and survived. If they really get angry, we may be in danger."

Deep in Zhang Cundao's heart, he had thought about the wild beasts attacking the village at night in groups.Without special weapons, these villagers don't have much to do with the beast.If you want to survive, you can only unite to protect yourself.

In Taoyuan Township, the contest between humans and beasts is all about numbers, whichever has more numbers has a better chance of winning.If there are hunters with bonuses, it may be possible to deal with a few more beasts.But there is only one hunter after all, how many people can he protect?
Zhang Cundao looked at the sky, beckoned Feng Wu to enter the house, and locked the doors and windows.

In addition to their family, some families have also begun to prepare.The master chef who opened a restaurant in the village took out a few pots of chicken, duck and fish meat and put them in the front and back yards. He bowed to the chicken, duck and fish meat and said in a low voice: "If you eat my food, don't come to my house, go find it. Let's go to someone else's house."

The pastry chef also prepares pastry.Anyway, the craftsmen in the village are more or less prepared.On the contrary, those farmers and woodcutter families are ignorant and ignorant, drinking and having fun all night long...
