As soon as the words fell, these tax collectors raised their sticks one after another, their eyes were full of fierce light, although for the wild dog spirits, they were the scum of the war five, but for the flat-headed people, these people have their own bonus effect, and they have the attribute of bullying civilians, and Ma San at the gate of the city is the best example.

"No, no, no, the official misunderstood," the villager hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not that the little old man doesn't pay, it's just that the right to be tolerant for a few days, tolerate for a few days, and let the villagers prepare." ”

Zhou Zhutou nodded, this is in the past, after all, the spring and summer two grains are the same exchange, it must be a large amount; just thinking about it, a young man suddenly ran out, with an ordinary appearance, with a leper head, and his face was angry, "Grandpa, why don't you tell the truth?"

"You stupid thing know what, go back and pull him down!" As soon as the villager elder's words fell, several villagers pounced, grabbed him, grabbed him, covered his mouth, and pressed him to the ground.

The villager explained: "This is my grandson Jiao Xiaosi, his brain has not been good since he was a child, so he can say some upside-down words, don't blame the officials, the little old man has prepared a banquet, please rest your feet for the time being, and have a few drinks." ”

"That feeling is good, it seems that there is really some use for this official signboard, in the past, when others saw us running the rivers and lakes, we didn't hide far away, how can it be like now, there is wine to drink, and meat to eat," Ge Lao Er shouted, and was then pushed by his eldest brother.

Daoist Li grinned, there must be demons when things are abnormal, these villagers are a little too enthusiastic, this is here to collect grain, not to deliver grain, what does Jiao Xiaosi want to say?

As he walked, he suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon, why didn't he see any of the little ghosts playing with mud in this village?

The cups on the banquet are staggered, and the cured meat on the long table is one plate after another, steamed pork, cured chicken, preserved duck, pickled radish, fried wild vegetables, roasted fish, all of them eat with oil in their mouths, Ge Lao Er eats the rise, and he also fights with the ugly girl, and the two mouths are like a bottomless pit; ”

The ugly lady clicked her lips, and scooped a bowl of crucian carp soup, only then did she look satisfied, and Daoist Li almost cried when she saw it, you finally understand how much pressure my life is to feed such a little girl, Dao Ye, after eating and drinking, these villagers vacated several empty houses, and placed these officials and officials, and served them in every detail.

"It's weird," Daoist Li muttered to himself, he was a person who had nothing to do, and he couldn't figure out the itching of the insider's heart, so he slipped out quietly while there were many people, he noticed the direction in which Jiao Xiaosi was pulled away, and followed quickly, only to hear his cry in a wooden house.

"Hey, stones, carp, cats, you are really cast in the wrong fetus, the men in Qingping Township are not men, women are not women, they are all a group of spineless turbidity, beasts, what about wealth, what about money, one by one, cheap heads, cheap faces, cheap bones, thieves with hearts, thieves and thieves, bastards!"

Daoist Li's head poked through the window, "Jiao Xiaosi, what are you howling, tell Daoist Master and I'll listen to it." ”

"Who are you?" Jiao Xiaosi wiped the tears from his face and said alertly.

"Dao Ye is a Taoist priest of Qingcheng Mountain, if you have any questions about monsters, you can ask Dao Ye for consultation, of course, there is a fee. ”

"Will you collect demons?" Jiao Xiaosi showed an expectant expression.

"What you are asking is the same as asking Xi Shi if he is a beauty or whether the Taoist is a handsome man, it is all standard nonsense, demons, demons, ghosts, monsters, spirits, evil things, fixed houses, feng shui, which one is not my specialty, let's say, what is ominous in this village. ”

"Hmph, what is unknown, people's hearts are like ghosts, greed is a demon, the entire Qingping Township is peaceful on the surface, but the inside is full of filth and dirt, Dao Chief, do you know why this township is so rich?"

"Well, isn't it because you have a good terrain?" Li Daoshi asked, about the wealth of this Qingping Township, he has also heard a little in the county, it is said that this is a place of wealth hidden, what to do, the wine is fragrant, the iron is strong and durable, and the porcelain fired is worthy of the level of the official kiln, and what is even more strange is that unless the locals, the foreign merchants do not have this blessing, and they are quickly squeezed out.

"The terrain is good, hum, that's just a lie, the real reason is that strange well!"

About twenty or thirty years ago, the earthquake in southern Xinjiang, the aftermath spread to here, the village ancestral hall collapsed, the villagers at that time summed up, invited a feng shui gentleman, decided to build a new ancestral hall in the east of the forest, when laying the foundation, accidentally dug a well, this well is the source of the disaster.

This well water is half yellow and half green, at first the villagers did not dare to use, and then gradually got used to it, found that the porridge boiled with this yellow well water is thick and dense, and some small problems on the body can be removed after a long time, and the green water is used to make wine, the taste is even comparable to those buried in the ground for ten years of old wine, which is gratifying to the villagers of Qingping Township, and quickly blocked the news, after many explorations, the role of this water quality has gradually been developed, porcelain refining, healing, iron, Boiling tea, all brilliant, relying on this secret, this small mountain village located in the frontier gradually became rich.

But one day a good thing will turn into a bad thing, about fifteen years ago, the well water suddenly failed, which frightened the villagers, and tried many methods, but could not restore the original taste, until one day, all the local villagers were asked to sink a newborn baby to the bottom of the well, and the water would return to its original state.

"You did so?" said Daoist Li.

"Hmph, for more than ten years, this well has long become their lifeline, according to the words of my grandfather, what is a baby, even if it was born before, it can't be raised, and now sacrificing one, can fulfill all the villagers, this thing is very cost-effective. ”

"You drowned a child," Daoist Li felt a wave of nausea, and he suddenly thought of the fish soup that had been served at the banquet before, and it could not have been boiled from the water of this corpse well.

"Once a year, half a year. ”

"The government didn't even find out?"

"There is money in the township, a man can marry two or three aunts-in-law, take turns, what is it to kill a child, as long as it is not publicized, how can the government know," Jiao Xiaosi smiled miserably and pointed to his leper head: "I am one of them, the scar on my head was gnawed by that monster, Grandpa still doesn't know it, in fact, I know better than anyone else." ”

"It's really fucking disgusting, the means of making money are actually worse than Dao Ye," Li Dao snorted angrily.

"Dao Chief, can you get rid of this monster?" Jiao Xiaosi looked expectant.

Daoist Li couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Fair deal, you like me, Dao Ye, if I do this, the villagers of Qingping Township will not eat me alive, and it is related to the collection of grain, and the head catcher is probably not willing to meddle in matters that week, what do you let Dao Ye do?"

"But isn't this demon subduing and demon elimination not what you should do?"

"In these years, there is no Dao Ye I should do, only the business that should be done, so if you want Dao Ye and I to go out - how much money are you going to pay?"

"I, I don't have any money. ”

Early the next morning, Daoist Li walked out of the room slowly, the tax collector and the villagers were busy piling up grain on the cart, there were more than 200 bags, and some were busy, their eyes rolled and they walked to the east.

"Dao Chief, where are you going?" asked Zhou Zhutou.

"Go to the Guandi Temple for a walk. ”

And not long after Daoist Li left, Wu Laohan quietly touched Daoist Li's room, found his package under the bed, and took out the "Azure Treasure Book" from the package, his eyes were happy, and he quickly opened it, and after a while, his face became cloudy, and at this moment, the ugly lady walked in and was stunned when she saw this scene.

"Who are you?"

Seeing this, Wu Laohan hurriedly waved his hand, and a white smoke spilled out, and the little girl fainted......
