The county seat has a newly built town of xiǎo.

There are quite a few households in Xiǎo Town, and there are thousands of households, because these households are all ordinary people who have migrated from the four counties of Longjian, and the local county order has given them a lot of preferential treatment when they are resettled.

The prefectural order mobilized this year's servitude.

Labor refers to the imperial court's order for ordinary people to serve on errands.

In fact, since the establishment of the Marquis of Shu, the law has been established and repaired, and Wang Hongyi has no intention of establishing a new law.

Therefore, in fact, it is roughly the successor to the Yan system, "Shu Decree": "All people who have no merit and fame, when they reach the age of eighteen, serve forty days of labor per year, stop in the county, give food, and do not give fifty." This means that a person who has no merit and has reached the age of eighteen is required to serve forty days of labor in the county every year, which is unpaid labor, and the state only pays rations, not wages.

Da Yan Fu Fa, starting from the age of fifteen and ending at the age of fifty-five, Wang Hongyi ordered the age to shrink before and after, which is already benevolent.

Wang Hongyi likes the Han system very much, "Guoheng is destroyed by weakness, and Han independence is destroyed by strength" "Shu Decree": "The eighteenth of the people enters the camp of the guard, Xi military discipline, practice shè cavalry Chen, one year of the county, two years of the Beijing camp, one person must be on the border for one year!", the battalion is more than a pawn, and the soldiers are imported into the army every year, so there is a name for this battalion, and the chief officer is called the pawn order, which means that when he is eighteen years old, he will enter the county and county battalion to learn the militia.

He also said, "Chinese New Year's Eve old age, lest you become a commoner, and go to the field."

This is the plan of the whole people's soldiers, which is far away, and each county can levy the people for forty days for the sake of hard service, so the county decree will levy the people and build this town, "relocate the houses of the people's homes, and establish it."

From a poor place such as Longjian, he suddenly moved to such a place with fertile land and abundant water, and had his own land and house."

In the early days, it was inevitable that they were still a little homesick, what they missed was not the land of their hometown, the poor land was difficult to feed the old family, and they would not want to go back if they left.

They miss their loved ones who have been buried there for generations.

When migrating towards Shunei, it was still difficult to drag the NV with him, and it was impossible to take the corpses of the ancestors with him, even if he brought the tablet, but it was still different.

Zhou Xiǎo Cheng is particularly nostalgic for the hometown of Longjian, and the reason for his nostalgia is "different from others, what he misses is the feeling of being needed by his neighbors when he was in Longjian."

With the continuous migration, there are fewer and fewer acquaintances, and after settling here, only a few old people are still there" This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Especially if I didn't make an incense offering.

"Alas, it's different from the past, although the shrine has been built, but Sanggu's pilgrims have suddenly lost so much, I wonder if Sanggu will blame it?", sighed deeply, "Zhou Xiǎo Cheng chanted the words in his mouth" "hands on the ground" and stood up again from the ground.

Ignoring the light dust on his knees, Zhou Xiǎo went to the cleanest wooden table in the room and re-covered a clean red cloth on the statue of the god with a large palm.

I have been chanting the words "If you listen carefully, you will hear the words "Mo Wei", "Please Sang Gu to estimate".

After a few more bows to the statue of the god covered in red cloth, Zhou Xiǎocheng picked up an empty wine gourd from a much more shabby table next to him and walked outside.

Because he was alone, and there were no valuable belongings at home, he just grabbed the big mén, walked slowly out of the courtyard, and walked towards the street.

There is only one street in xiǎo town, his side is the south end of the town, there are many households, walk towards the north end of the town, and if you walk a little further, you will see a wine shop, he has been drinking there, and today is no exception.

"Isn't this Zhou Xiǎo Cheng? and going to drink again?" On the way, I occasionally met someone I knew and would greet him like this.

Zhou Xiǎo Cheng just waved his hand casually, muttered a few words in his mouth, and continued to walk forward.

Most of the people here don't care about his rude behavior.

Although Zhou Xiǎocheng's fame was not as loud as when he was in the Dragon Sword, some of the people here migrated from the same place with him, and there were not a few people who believed in the god Sangu.

He, a person who has some ability in the eyes of the villagers and can treat patients with grassroots, is gradually rumored to be able to flow with Sanggu and get Sanggu's protection.

Therefore, no one dared to offend him at all, and when there was no headache and brain fever in anyone's family, in the eyes of believers, Zhou Xiǎo Cheng was an amazing person.

Maybe when, it will save your life.

In fact, it was just a few secret recipes that Zhou Xiǎo Cheng inadvertently obtained, and let him eat them in the township.

But he is indeed a Sangu believer, middle-aged widowed, and without a son and a half, although he has never been favored by the gods, he is indeed a devout disciple with three pillars of incense in the morning and evening.

This sounds a little surprising, but most of the folk believers are like this, a person has lived a hard life for a long time, and there is no thought, and the more he lives, the more boring he becomes, and some of these folk beliefs are thriving from this.

"Isn't this Brother Zhou? Come here to drink again?" When Zhou Xiǎo Cheng arrived at the wine shop, there were already more and more customers.

The boss was about the same age as him, and when he saw him coming over, he greeted him with a smile and a familiar tone.

At this time, the sun is already setting in the west, and it is approaching dusk, and some men who have been busy all day and have some money at hand will come to the wine shop and buy a bowl of wine to drink. Although the tears are cloudy, the momentum is very rushing, and the sweat of Zhenbu is good.

Zhou Xiǎo Cheng is now planting five acres of land, and doing some things to ask incense to cure diseases, and now he is doing a good life, and there is no daughter-in-law and children waiting to be fed at home, and he can afford to drink every day.

After Zhou Xiǎocheng sat down on the wooden stool in the shed, the boss reached out and took the empty wine gourd he handed over, and skillfully poured wine into the wine gourd.

"This time, let's take half a catty! Cut a few taels of cooked ròu, and go back to eat wine. Zhou Xiǎo Cheng said suddenly.

The boss was happy to do more business, and was busy: "Okay." ”

On the wine gourd stopper that was filled with wine, I took out the cooked ròu very neatly, cut a few pieces, chopped them into pieces, wrapped them, and handed them over with the wine gourd.

"I heard that Brother Zhou went out of the mountain again two days ago? The Liu family was pulled back from the ghost mén pass, brother, I'm afraid the Liu family gave a lot of gratitude, right?

"Brother, I don't have any skills, it's all thanks to Sang Gu's assessment. Zhou Xiǎo said with half-squinted eyes, and these words were often on his lips.

The boss is also a pilgrim who believes in Sanggu, and after listening to Zhou Xiǎocheng, he was very convinced, and nodded again and again.

"But it's not, if it weren't for Sang Gu's estimation, I'm afraid that the Liu family wouldn't be able to survive this pass, this is a big fat person who has been raised for more than ten years, this time it's really gone, and his father and mother won't cry to death?", "Alas, in the past, Sang Gu was estimated in time, but after moving to this place, the original neighbors were scattered and abandoned, and I heard that there were a few families who converted to other gods, and the Liu family wouldn't be affected by them, right?", Speaking of this, looking at Zhou Xiǎocheng's eyes, there was also a hint of envy: " There are not many people like Brother Zhou who are dedicated to worshipping Sanggu. "Look at what the elder brother said, you are also diligent in your daily offerings, and Sang Gu will also take care of you. Isn't the current day stronger than the next?" Zhou Xiǎo said with a smile.

The owner of the wine shop was very happy to hear this, and nodded again and again: "In the end, Brother Zhou, it is different from those of us who are coarse, and what we say is not ordinary, which makes people feel comfortable listening." ”

Zhou Xiǎo Cheng just smiled, casually responded, carrying the wine, his body shook slightly, and walked out of the wine shop.

Back at home, the wine ròu was placed on the table, and Zhou xiǎo Cheng washed the handle and began to eat and drink.

Before this, he did not forget to give Sang Gu a pillar of incense.

The statue of the god xiǎoxiǎo enjoyed the incense, and when Zhou xiǎo turned around, the incense head "poofed" and then returned to normal.

Due to hunger in his belly, Zhou Xiǎocheng did not notice this change.

He sat down at the table and began to eat.

Not far behind him, the white smoke hung in a straight line, and when it reached a height of one person, it began to play xiǎo spiral canopy.

The distorted smoke turned into a vague figure, staring at the man not far away, and then the wind outside the mén blew and dissipated into the air.

At this time, it was already completely dark, Zhou Xiǎo was tired, he had almost eaten, hurriedly washed, and fell directly on the wooden bed.

In the simple room, there is no fire, but fortunately, the quilt is thick, and the room is newly built, there is no air leakage, and it is not cold.

It's just that when he lay in bed, he always felt that something was wrong, but he was a lonely man, and he didn't have much savings, so he was not afraid of thieves stealing, so he fell asleep groggily.

When Zhou Xiǎocheng woke up again, he found that the sky had not yet dawned, the house was dark, I don't know when, the moon outside was already gone, and there was not even a little starlight.

In the whole room, there are no fingers in sight.

"What time is it? It's dark?" he fumbled to get out of bed.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of the bed, and he suddenly saw it and was startled.

"Who?", Zhou Xiǎo Cheng said with fear in a screaming voice.

Vaguely, standing in front of him seems to be an NV.

"Zhou xiǎo Cheng, I am about to come to a great disaster, quickly set up a boat tomorrow night and transport me across the river. The black shadow hurriedly said only such a sentence, I don't know what it was afraid of, a scream, and quickly disappeared.

Immediately, a cloud of black gas swooped down on him.

Zhou Xiǎo Cheng wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout, so he opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

On the window paper, there was a light coming in, and it was already dawn.

"It turned out to be just a dream. Zhou Xiǎo Cheng gasped and secretly rejoiced, but after a while, he calmed down, but he couldn't sit still.

This dream is too real, Zhou Xiǎo became suspicious, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out who the NV son was? However, the other party is not a living person, how can a living person appear in this strange situation?

Not even in a dream.

Originally, before getting up every day, Zhou Xiǎo Cheng would lie down for a while when he woke up, but today he really couldn't lie down.

Early in the morning, he left home, a day's work, and when it was almost dark, Fang returned, put his things aside, made some food for himself, Hu Luàn ate, and Zhou Xiǎocheng lay down on the bed again.

Unlike yesterday, even though he was tired today, he still didn't feel sleepy, and yesterday's dream made him faintly uneasy
