Mortal Mirror

Of the thirteen people in Wanglong Village, two were the tallest, namely Da Niu and Er Hu. These two were brothers and also the grandsons of Old Mantou. Because of Old Mantou's relationship, they also had a good relationship with Li Ergou, with a bit more closeness.

The remaining people included Tie Dan, Si Zai, and Old Wangba. These were all people who had been beaten up with Huang Batian back then. Old Wangba's wife was eaten by a turtle in the last turtle incident, so he is now a bachelor and came to join Li Ergou.

The others included Gou Dan, Shou Hou, Er Mihu, Da Zhuang, Liu San Gou, Xia Zi, etc. All of these people were looking at Li Ergou expectantly at this moment.

Although everyone was good playmates when they were young, their statuses are different now, and they don't know what Li Ergou's personality is now.

Moreover, when they were at home, their elders repeatedly told them that Ergouzi is no longer the Ergouzi he used to be.

You must treat him as the boss, as an adult, so everyone is very obedient at this moment and dare not move around.

Li Ergou looked at everyone and sighed helplessly in his heart, "Since everyone is willing to follow me, Ergouzi, then everyone should be good. In the future, let Dabaixiang and Xiwa lead you in martial arts training. Even if you become temporary constables, you must maintain the simple character of the people of Wanglong Village and must not bully others."

I hope everyone can do it."

Da Niu took the lead and said, "Okay, Brother Gou, don't worry, we people won't embarrass you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed.

Li Ergou casually took out some slaughtered chicken and pork and asked Meier and Dabaixiang to cook it for everyone to eat. After a meal, everyone was covered in grease, and their relationship improved a lot. At least everyone was not too restrained, right?

During the chat, Li Ergou received bad news that Cuihua had married and even had a child. He didn't know why, but he still felt a little sad. That was the village flower of Wanglong Village, the person he once wanted to marry the most, but he missed her after all.

However, he found that this sadness only lasted for a moment and then disappeared. Perhaps his liking for her was only because he wanted to marry a wife.

It's just that the Ergouzi of the past is really no longer the Ergouzi he used to be. After seeing the outside world, he realized that true love is like that, and everything can't go back.

The next morning, Li Ergou went to the county lieutenant to report the matter of the temporary constables. The county lieutenant naturally agreed to this trivial matter and told Li Ergou to make the decision.

So the thirteen people from Wanglong Village immediately transformed into constables. Even Dachegou was arranged a position by Li Ergou, guarding the yamen and becoming a military dog eating public food.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Tao, even his dogs and chickens ascend to heaven. The ancients did not deceive me. Now it is fully reflected in me, Li Ergou.

Li Ergou shook his head and smiled bitterly, with pride in his heart, but also an unspeakable feeling.

In the next few days, Li Ergou spent another five hundred taels of silver to buy everyone a large courtyard to live in.

Dabaixiang and Xiwa would train the thirteen teenagers of Wanglong Village every day. It's strange to say, but I don't know if Wanglong Village really has a trace of dragon energy. These guys have a good talent for martial arts, and they learn it as soon as they learn it.

Li Ergou focused on letting them practice ranged weapons such as bows and arrows, because he always had a faint feeling that the matter of the corpse demon was not that simple, and that guy would not disappear for no reason.

In this way, a month passed in a blink of an eye. Li Ergou cultivated every day, and finally, with unremitting efforts, he once again refined a tortoise shell armor. Now he already has four Xuan Turtle armors.

The thirteen people from Wanglong Village, after this period of great tonic, all grew muscles, and their physique was much better than before. Everyone was even more grateful to Li Ergou.

They were happy, but Li Ergou was miserable enough. Not to mention anything else, they ate several chickens from a generation, and there were enough eggs. The food that everyone gave him during the New Year was basically eaten by these guys.

Li Ergou can't keep supporting them. He thinks that after a while, he will have to let them be self-reliant.

Unexpectedly, before he could drive people away, bad news came one after another.

A corpse disaster broke out in Qingshui County, a neighboring county. Countless zombies attacked many villages. Now, in the ten towns of Qingshui County, zombies are attacking people everywhere.

In the yamen, in the Plum Blossom Hall, the county lieutenant summoned his five major constables with a dark face.

Standing beside him were two people, who were constables from Jiming Town. At this moment, both of them were covered in sweat and extremely nervous.

At this time, Li Ergou learned that zombies had appeared in Jiming Town five days ago, but the local area did not pay attention to it and concealed the matter. Now those zombies are wandering around and spreading, and within the ten towns of Kushui County, people are constantly reporting the appearance of zombies.

Now the hardest hit area is Jiming Town. The people who came said that dozens of villages and villages have all become zombie villages, and they are gathering towards Jiming Town. This time they are here to seek help.

The county lieutenant was extremely angry about this and reprimanded them, but the matter was a foregone conclusion and there was nothing he could do. The county lieutenant could only summon everyone to discuss what to do.

After discussing for a morning, it was finally decided that two teams of people would be temporarily dispatched to Jiming Town to deal with the corpse disaster. Li Ergou was the first to be selected, and the other team was Huang San.

The remaining teams were dispersed to various towns to deal with the zombies that appeared everywhere.

As for the county lieutenant, after instructing everyone, he hurried to Yucheng to report the matter and also asked the higher authorities to send people down to support.

For a time, the yamen became busy, or rather, a mess. Li Ergou gathered his men, and after meeting with Huang San, he set off immediately.

This time, Li Ergou not only brought his own men, but also took all thirteen people from Wanglong Village with him, on the one hand to train their combat effectiveness and let them see the world, and on the other hand to let them know that being a constable is not that easy. If anyone wants to quit, there is still time.

Jiming Town has a population of thousands, but the streets are very chaotic at the moment. Everyone is snapping up all kinds of usable things and food, and many people are dragging their families and running to the county seat.

Li Ergou found the town mayor and learned that Jiming Town had been swallowed by the corpse disaster in dozens of villages in the past few days. Zombies were coming from several directions in Jiming Town. In less than a day, those zombies would probably reach Jiming Town, and the town mayor was also extremely panicked.

Seeing this scene, Li Ergou and Huang San were very depressed and didn't know what to do for a while. Everyone discussed for a while but couldn't come up with any solution. There was no way, Li Ergou decided to go and see with Huang San what the corpse disaster looked like.
