There is a white bone spirit in the village

Chapter 59

Lin Jiao knew that Yang Jingxuan should have been completely hit by herself this time.Because after sending her back to the county seat, during the next few trips to Yanlai, County Magistrate Li accompanied her on one occasion, and Liu Datong and another yamen servant accompanied her on several occasions, but he never showed it again. noodle.

Once he showed the prototype of the bone spirit, the suitors who had been confused by the painted skin before were immediately frightened and retreated.It seems that this point, no matter in the past or now, is fulfilled on men, and the effect is surprisingly consistent.

It is true that character determines destiny.Since she no longer wants to wrong herself too much, she can only happily accept her fate of being born lonely and widowed.

Lin Jiao laughed at herself for a few days, and finally burned the blacked-out piece of paper, and clapped her hands to let it go.

To say that there is no loss at all is nonsense.No matter how noble a woman is, a man who originally ran after your ass, if he is really not a toad, suddenly stopped and turned around to ignore you, even if you have no feelings for this man at all, that kind of psychological gap must be It is also inevitable.What's more, not only can Yang Jingxuan not be classified as a toad, he can barely be classified as a dark horse knight.

But that's about it.After all, she loves herself more than that man Yang Jingxuan.Now that she lost the backer of Yang Jingxuan, it didn't matter, she quickly got a bigger backer of Li Guantao.

Li Guantao has a great background, but now he is in an unlucky stage of his life.Although Lin Jiao didn't understand the details, she firmly believed in it.Seeing him as an open-minded person, although he is a bit stubborn sometimes, it is different from the stubbornness of his subordinate Yang Jingxuan.He has experienced ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, and he is quite wise in life.It doesn't look like that kind of short-lived.So she believed that he would not be so unlucky forever.As long as I help him and get his appreciation, I will be blessed in the future.

She knew that Li Guantao probably already knew the real relationship between herself and Yang Jingxuan from the officials.Because when I went to Yanlaipi last time, the old man still cheerfully pretended to inquire about the two of them unintentionally, saying that he knew it later, and saying that his wife wanted to invite her to be a guest, and praised her as a world wonder Girl, here comes the final point. Although the words are cryptic, the translated meaning is that the person is now a workaholic and lives in the Yamen. They have all been caught, and the cells are overcrowded. If this continues, Qinghe will soon become the first moral model county in the country that does not pick up lost items on the road and does not close their doors at night.Hearing what the old man meant in the end, it was probably that he had received too many complaints from the yamen servants, and he was a little bit overwhelmed, and finally said in a negotiating tone: "Look, Chunjiao, the person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell, isn't it?" God, go and persuade him..."

Lin Jiao interrupted: "He's my uncle, why would he listen to me? And I wouldn't say anything good to make him happy. Believe it or not, Mr. Li, if I really listen to you and go see him again, After I leave, maybe he will get worse. He is not a three-year-old kid. What a big deal it is. Just stop."

Li Guantao was startled, then burst into laughter, pointed at Lin Jiao and said, "You girl, why did your last sentence sound exactly like my wife's? I blamed her for being hard-hearted before, but I didn't expect you to be tougher than her." You must go see her someday when you are free. She is complaining every day that she is bored here with me, and I will definitely hit it off when I see you, so I don’t want to listen to her nagging."

Lin Jiao responded with a smile.

What she said to Li Guantao just now was not completely insincere.She knows that she is cruel, and she will not change easily when she has made up her mind, plus she is narrow-minded.But if this man is like this after a little setback, then he can't blame her.Although she had to bear most of the responsibility in this matter, when she lied to him by pretending to be a little white flower, he was also very happy, at least he also got great spiritual satisfaction at that time, didn't he?She was offended at the thought of him getting himself out in the middle of the night, staring at him and saying cruel things he wished he had never known her.Anyway, she told him before that she was such a narrow-minded person.If he can't think about it now, it means that he is too fragile, let alone her.What can she do?I can't let her run to him now and say after spilling this big pot of dog blood, my dear, I know I was wrong, and I will continue to pretend to be a white flower to make you happy, can you cheer up?She might as well shoot herself to death on the spot.

Today is the last time to go to Yanlaipi.The various data collection in the early stage and the topographical survey of the two nearby rivers are almost done. Lin Jiao's design for the storage, discharge and sand discharge of the entire reservoir body has probably been outlined in her mind.Today's last trip is to review some key data.When you come back, you can formally design the drawings.

Today, as usual, Liu Datong followed, bringing along another small yamen servant named Aguan.In the past few times, Li Datong would mention Yang Jingxuan's recent situation to Lin Jiao intentionally or unintentionally.She didn't seem very interested in seeing her, so I wisely stopped mentioning it this time.It was already afternoon when the three of them arrived at Yanlaipi.Liu Datong ran east and west with Lin Jiao, and finally arrived at a mountain ridge in the northwest corner of Piti.Directly below is the future warehouse body, the left and right sides are slope shoulders that go down slowly, and the rear is also a mountain slope, and the bottom is the Dao Gorge crevice valley. Looking down from the mountain ridge, the bottom of the slope is covered by interlaced weeds and vines of various colors. I can't see the end either.

Lin Jiao was about to ask Liu Datong if she knew where the canyon was, when she suddenly saw Aguan running over in panic, shouting as she ran, "Uncle Liu, it's not good! People in the nearby village know about us , got entangled and came to make trouble, saying that we would kill us! I ran fast to hide, hurry and hide!"

Lin Jiao was taken aback, and looked in the direction behind A Guan, and saw that Wu Yaba had actually chased after him on the desolate road on the mountain ridge. There were at least thirty or forty villagers, with sticks and hoes in their hands, Come to yourself angrily.The leading man was about 40 to [-] years old, wearing a bamboo hat with the side of the hat pulled down to cover most of his face. When he saw Lin Jiao, he pointed at her and shouted at the villagers behind him, "It's that demon girl! She's the one who instigated the magistrate to make troubles." What kind of reservoir is this! If we really want to store water and break open again like last time, they will be fine in the county town, and those of us who live directly below will really have no way out! Kill her!"

The man's words were very provocative, and the villagers behind him were encouraged and rushed towards Lin Jiao.

"Run!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Datong couldn't control much, grabbed Lin Jiao's hand and ran to the other side of the mountain ridge. After running a few steps, he saw a group of people coming from the front, and the road was blocked. Dead, the villagers on both sides quickly rushed forward.

Liu Datong's expression changed drastically, and he called Aguan to protect Lin Jiao between them, then turned to Lin Jiao and said, "Don't be afraid, with us here, they dare not really touch you!"

Although he comforted Lin Jiao in this way, his voice was knotted and trembling because of excessive nervousness.

Lin Jiao was indeed frightened by the situation at first, she just ran along with Liu Datong, but now she saw that there was no way out, she calmed down instead.Seeing the villagers on both sides crowding up, each with angry faces and yelling and cursing, he immediately guessed the cause and effect.It must be that I have been here frequently these days. Those big households who have plowed the terraced fields got the news that the county magistrate intends to refill the water body, which will inevitably flood the fields they have already occupied in the future. Come and make trouble.

Liu Datong said angrily to several villagers who had already raised their wooden sticks and rushed to the front: "Bold and unreasonable! We are carrying out official duties under the order of Mr. Li. You dare to make trouble, are you planning to rebel?" , has pulled out the square knife used by the yamenli yamen, which is worn on his waist, and pointed the tip of the knife at the villagers.A Guan next to him was young, he had not been on the job for a year, and he had never seen such a battle, his legs were already trembling with fright.Seeing Liu Datong pull out his saber, he reluctantly pulled out his saber too.

Ordinary people fear the government.Seeing that the poor man was full of beard, beard and angry eyes, he was a bit aggressive on the stage, and moved out of the county magistrate again, so he stopped and looked at each other hesitantly.

Before Liu Datong could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the man in the bamboo hat from before shouting in the crowd: "Everyone, don't be intimidated by them! The so-called law does not punish the public, I don't believe that the magistrate will arrest and kill so many of us." Heads! Even if they are all captured and beheaded, it will be worth it! Anyway, as long as this place is full of water, we will not have a good life one by one. Last time, the one who was lucky escaped, and next time he will break his mouth. Anyway, it’s a death! Not only one, but the whole family has no way to survive! Why don’t we take this opportunity to hoe this demon girl, we are worth dying! At least the old lady and the baby in the family are still alive!”

The villagers' eyes were reddened by the man's words. Thinking of the tragic scene of the flood last time, they were excited and echoed, and they were only three or four steps away from Lin Jiao.

Lin Jiao knew that she couldn't escape, pushed aside Liu Datong who was blocking her, and said loudly to the villagers who were ready to move towards her, full of hatred: "Everyone listen to me. This place really needs to be rebuilt to store water. It's just me Let me tell you, there will be no such breaches in the future! Think about it, Yanlaipi water storage started at least 50 years ago, and it was abandoned 50 years ago. During the [-] years of water storage, you heard Have your ancestors ever mentioned such a breach? No! The reason for the breach last time was that it had been abandoned for decades and the pond and dam were completely destroyed without maintenance, and the second was the heavy rain that had never happened in a century. This is the breach Master Li is determined to rebuild this fortification. If it succeeds, you will not have to rely on the sky for food in the future! Is this harming you? Who would be unhappy? Let me tell you, it is not you who are really unhappy, but It is those who occupy the land and open terraces privately! Because once the water is stored, these terraces will sink to the bottom of the water forever. If you come here today and kill me, do you want to come here yourself, or are they being used by others? Instigated by words? You will know when you think about it!"

Her voice was high-pitched and articulate, and her words were resounding, and immediately suppressed the original voices of cursing and commenting. Several villagers who were originally the most impulsive rushed forward looked at each other, and an older one finally spoke: " You speak easily! Why should I believe you? If you break your mouth again, we will be the ones who suffer, not you!"

Lin Jiao called his old man, and said again: "I guarantee with my head that once the water storage is completed, such a thing will never happen. I have checked the surrounding terrain, and when the construction starts, I will open up and widen the Yanlai Po and the Long River at the same time. Along the waterway between the rivers, I suggest that Mr. Li should re-enforce the dredging of the river to increase the river channel, and set up a water level warning here. Once the water body exceeds the limited water level, the gate will be opened to release the water into the river. There will never be overflow and discharge that will harm your village. thing!"

Although there were still some doubts on the faces of everyone, the previous anger gradually disappeared.Seeing that their hands holding the hoes and sticks were gradually lowered, Lin Jiao was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard someone say, "Aren't you the old Yang's Chunjiao from Peach Blossom Village? How do you know this? Don't listen to her nonsense!"

Lin Jiao looked over and saw that it was the man in the bamboo hat hiding in the crowd just now, and she knew that he should be the one who started the trouble, and said, "I am Chunjiao from Taohua Village, that's right. Everyone knows that the flood last time was ten miles away. A few villages and towns, only Taohua Village with the least human and animal casualties, right? Since you know me, you must know why, right?" Unhurriedly said: "It is because my mother-in-law, who has accumulated virtue in the underworld, entrusted me with a dream, and I informed the villagers in time, so that a disaster was avoided. Everyone in our village knows about this. If you don't believe me, go Ask, to see if I have told a lie. As for how I understand this, it is naturally related to my mother-in-law. Heavenly secrets must not be leaked, but it is not easy for you to know. You don’t have to believe me, gods and Buddhas must believe it, right?”

These words really calmed people down. Seeing that no one questioned her anymore, and even the man in the bamboo hat disappeared, Lin Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Datong was more nervous than her at first.Since he is alone and weak, Aguan is useless, and Chunjiao is a weak girl, if she makes a mistake, he will be ashamed to go back to the Yamen.Seeing her stand up and suppress the scene with her words, she was both admiring and happy, and was about to disperse the crowd loudly, when suddenly another face-faced person in the crowd shouted loudly: "This woman is a witch! The widow has been thinking about remarrying all day long, but she was rejected by the patriarch of her village the previous time! Such a shameless woman, don't believe her words, it is true to kill her!" As soon as the words fell, a few stones turned towards Lin Jiao. Flying over, a few more people squeezed through the crowd and rushed over with sticks.

The natural foothold on this mountain ridge is narrow, but now that there is such a charge, some people move forward, some people retreat, and there is a sudden chaos.

Lin Jiao dodged a stone flying towards her, and before she stood up straight, she heard Liu Datong yelling "be careful" and subconsciously took a step back, but she forgot that there was no ground behind her, and when she stepped on the ground, her whole body was thrown into a trance. He lost his center of gravity and fell down the slope behind him, and quickly rolled down the slope.

Liu Datong stretched out his hand to pull it, but he only got one of her sleeves, and he tore it and snapped it, and saw her roll down and be swallowed up by the tall weeds, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.Knowing that the canyon below is a piece of rocky land, if there is no shelter for the fall, I am afraid that I will fall into meat paste, and suddenly lost three of the seven souls, and the whole person almost passed out.
