Chapter 17 Peach Blossom Spring

The rest pinned all their hopes on the head of the village head, who was nearly sixty years old, thinking that he was the best person to lead them out of the predicament. No matter how hard they tried, it was not easy to enshrine the village head.

"We are all mortal wombs with naked eyes. It's not like you can reach out. If you can help us out of the predicament, the old man will bring the whole village to build a temple for the two of you, and enjoy the incense for thousands of generations!"

Lin Qingruo's eyes widened, and there was such a good thing, she was a little carried away for a while.

"What request do you have? As long as it's not too much, I'll try my best to satisfy it!"

Li Xiaoyuan watched from the side, the two chatted happily, and they had already despised Lin Qingruo a hundred times in their hearts!

The village chief wept with joy, and the god will surely find a suitable place to live with himself and the villagers.

"Whatever the gods said, my old man doesn't have any other requirements. I just hope that he can lead us to find the Peach Blossom Spring like in the book, and that's enough!"

The village head has been reading a book these days, and the peach blossom garden in the book makes him yearn for it. If he can really lead the villagers to find such a place, not only will he not have to worry about food and clothing, but even generations can enjoy the comfort of food and clothing. worry life.

"It's a small matter! I just..."

Lin Qingruo was in a daze by the village head's praise, but just as she was about to agree, she was interrupted by a word from Li Xiaoyuan.

"You forgot what they told us before we went down to earth, not to reveal our identities to anyone, otherwise the magic power will be invalidated, not only will they not be able to get out of the predicament, even we will have to stay here for the rest of our lives and accept punishment!"

Li Xiaoyuan's reminder brought Lin Qingruo back to his senses.

These people base everything on ghosts and gods. If they find out the truth one day, they don't know how to spread rumors!
"Just now you have heard our identities, and we must not let anyone know. In order to save you in an emergency just now, we have revealed our fairy art in public. Although it is to save people, it also violates the rules of heaven. Heavenly Court, for the sake of small punishments and big commandments, decided to temporarily let our law be lost, and it will be restored at the right time in the future!"

In order to fulfill this lie, Lin Qingruo could only fool them with the gods they revered. The village chief and Zhao Cheng were convinced by this statement that Li Xiaoyuan and Lin Qingruo were sent by the gods to help them tide over the difficulties.

"It's okay, God has the virtue of loving life. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If God knows that you are doing this to save people, you will definitely not blame it!"

The four came to a nearby yamen to report the case. The county magistrate sat in front of the hall and looked at the four people in plain clothes. With a wave of his hand, several yamen servants came towards them. Before they could speak, they searched the whole body.

When he was in doubt, the county magistrate was aloof and despised all this.

"My lord has a rule here. Before reporting the case, you must bring some gold and silver. Otherwise, no matter how many people come to report the case, they will go to the cell regardless of good or evil!"

The yamen servant also met the county magistrate's eyes, and put the four of them into the prison together.

"Wait, in the Qingming world, how can you be fooled around? Is there any king's law!"

Seeing such absurd thing, Lin Qingruo couldn't help but feel angry.

"Wang Fa? Hehe..."

When the county magistrate heard the words, he chuckled and looked at the four people who didn't know why.

"In this realm, I am Wang Fa! If my master wants you to live, you will live, and if you want you to die, you will have to die. Come, this person deceives the crowd with lies, and puts the four of them into the prison!"

The four were then thrown into jail.

Lin Qingruo thought that the four of them were the first to enter the prison, but unexpectedly most of the cells here were locked up.

After the yamen servants put them in the cell, they locked the cell door and walked away!

"Let us out! We didn't break the law, and we didn't kill anyone, so why lock us up!"

Lin Qingruo yelled at the backs of the yamen servants.

"Stop yelling, you were arrested for no reason, right? No matter how loud your voice is when you get here, you have nowhere to reason!"

In the next cell, a woman couldn't bear to hear Lin Qingruo's cry.

"It's better to save some energy like us. We only eat one meal in two days here, and it's all porridge. If you don't save some energy, you won't survive the next month!"

After Lin Qingruo heard this, she lost her strength, and wanted to send Zhao Cheng to the county government, but she sent herself up by mistake.

"The county magistrate here has always done things like this, no matter what the prisoner did, as long as you have no money, you will be sent to jail!"

Li Xiaoyuan frowned tightly, if this is really the case, wouldn't it be a sheep at the mouth of a tiger.

Lin Qingruo turned around and looked at the white-haired old lady in the next cell who admitted she was dead, and her heart throbbed with pain.

Now that they are in the cell for no reason, what should the whole family do?

"I see that you are just here. I don't want you to be beaten by them. I advise you to stay here. Now that there is a famine everywhere and people are starving to death everywhere, it is better to live outside Stay here for a while, at least I have a bowl of porridge and water for you to drink!"

Lin Qingruo tried her best to get out.

Looking into Li Xiaoyuan's eyes, he felt that he had no choice but to resign himself to fate.

"It's funny to talk about us. You obviously sent someone in, but you didn't expect to throw yourself in! We are fine. The whole family can't find anyone, so what should we do?"

Lin Qingruo curled up in a corner, while Li Xiaoyuan circled around the cell.

There are not many cells here, but each cell holds ten people. Presumably the magistrate here wants to hide something or has some ulterior secret.

If you want to go out, you have to start with these yamen servants!
"I'll let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense! Remember to me, when you get here, you are a member of our county magistrate. If you don't have a guard, tomorrow will be your death day!"

The man was beaten on the ground by the yamen servants, the man's yelling and shouting attracted Li Xiaoyuan's attention.

"Don't be surprised, he's mentally ill, and when we meet, he says that he is the master here, but no one has ever agreed to him!"

Li Xiaoyuan didn't take it seriously, he stared fixedly at that person's eyes, his eyes were clear and his will was firm, he definitely wasn't stupid.

Even if he was held down and beaten by the yamen servants, he did not change his original intention.

Li Xiaoyuan remained calm, and when the yamen servant walked away, he whispered to the man.

"Who are you? What did you do to get here?"

"My name is Zhang Mao, and I am the teacher here. I was thrown into a cell by these people a few months ago, and I was brutally beaten every day!"

While speaking, Zhang Mao stared at Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan's eyes. These two people are definitely not in the pool.

"I think you two have extraordinary temperaments, don't panic when things happen, and I ask you for help with one thing. If it can be done, you will definitely be able to get out!"

Lin Qing jumped up from the ground, as if grasping at straws.

"What exactly is going on?"

Zhang Mao looked at the two as trustworthy, so he talked about it.

"Just now you also know, now that there is a famine, the county magistrate is plundering money everywhere, the former county magistrate will definitely not be like this!"
