Resurrection of the Mystery: Starting from the Clone of the Stone-born Monkey
Chapter 65 - The Demonic Energy of the Encirclement
Xiangxi County, Qili Village, farmer Baijia
Before dawn
A boy with a wheat-yellow complexion, wearing a patched Gebu clothing, straw sandals, and a branch pinned to his belt, was counting the rice at home.
The boy's name is "Bai Gen", and his family has 30 mu of Susukida. This year, he plowed in spring and summer in two rounds of sowing, and harvested in two rounds. After paying the field tax, the family has 67 shi of rice.
In his family, besides himself, there was a brother and sister-in-law, and other relatives died one after another due to various natural and man-made disasters.
Although the family is unfortunate, Shirane still lives well with his sister-in-law.
Right now, Shirane is counting this year's harvest.
Of the 67 shi of grain, 36 shi should be reserved for one year's rations for himself and his sister-in-law, and 3 shi should be reserved for the next year's rice seeds.
Therefore, the rice that can be used as a commodity and sold to others is only 28 shi.
According to today's grain collection market, it can be about 1,600 yuan.
To be honest, Bai Gen should be happy to have these harvests at home. This year, compared with last year, the same 30 mu field has increased by 8 stones.
Thinking of this, the boy sincerely thanked the young Lord Yue Wang.
If it wasn't for this king, who was guided by the gods in early July to lead them, the common people in the fields, to fight against the flood in time, then this year's harvest may not be optimistic, and I am afraid it will be cut in half.
However, the harvest was so good, but the boy couldn't be happy, because in June this year, his sister-in-law borrowed money.
Today, three months later, the amount to be repaid with interest is very high, 5,000 yuan.
The young man plowed in spring and harvested in autumn, but in the end he only earned 1,600 yuan, which could not fill this hole at all.
This made the teenager anxious and guilty, because his sister-in-law borrowed money to treat himself.
The young man couldn't help recalling that in June, when he was farming in the field, he accidentally dug out a bronze mirror from the field.
The young man saw that the bronze mirror was exquisitely crafted, with a smooth mirror surface and clear portraits.
Thinking that he had found a treasure, the boy happily took it home, planning to wait a few days to go to the market, sell the bronze mirror for a good price, and subsidize his family.
But the bad things started here. On the second day, the young man felt weak all over his body, as if he had contracted a serious disease.
The young man almost thought that he was going to die. It was his sister-in-law who sold everything that could be sold in the family. The cattle in the family, including the mirror, went everywhere to find a doctor, buy medicinal materials, and buy tonics.
After spending a lot of money and even borrowing money, the young man came back from the gate of hell.
His life was recovered, but the family was also poor and owed usurious debts.
The boy is now worried about paying back the money.
Where can I find money to fill this debt hole?
While the boy was thinking, he was packing the rice into sacks and putting them into the cart.
Twenty-seven shi of grain weighs about two thousand catties, which is not a small weight.
The family has no cattle, and the boy is only 13 years old this year. There are nine miles of dirt roads from the village to the county, and the journey is not easy.
But the boy was not worried, because since he recovered from his illness, he found that his strength had inexplicably increased a lot.
It is also because of this that he, a thirteen-year-old boy, can plow 30 mu of land by himself with a plow in the absence of cattle.
But what is the use of great strength besides plowing the fields? Not enough money is not enough money.
With a gloomy expression, the young man pushed the grain cart to the door of the main house.
At this time, the sky was already dark, the boy parked the car first, and pushed open the wooden door.
Inside the house built with thatched wooden boards, a young woman is using clean linen to pack yesterday's baked pot cakes, which are to be eaten on the way to the market.
The young woman turned around when she heard the sound.
Her name is Li Luo, she can't say how beautiful she is, but her skin is fair, her eyebrows are well-proportioned, her face is round, and her teeth are very white and neat when she talks.
In addition, there is a little tear mole under the black eyes, which adds a bit of style.
He is short in stature, comparable to a boy's stature, but the sleek front and back support the simple clothes.
If it is in these ten miles and eight villages, it is not an exaggeration to call it a pretty woman, but if you compare it with the girl in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the county town with heavy makeup and a willow waist, it is not enough.
The only thing that can be praised is the temperament of a good young woman who is not possessed by those prostitutes.
But in the eyes of the young Baigen, his sister-in-law is the best woman in the world.
Seeing his sister-in-law looking over, Baigen opened his mouth, made a whining sound, and stretched out his hand to draw a gesture, probably drawing a piece of paper in the air.
The boy is a mute, the child is a mute
But as a relative, Li Luo can probably understand the boy's sign language.
After thinking about it, Li Luo asked:
"Do you want Tian Qi?"
Her voice also has the sweetness of a woman from a water village.
Bai Gen nodded sharply, that's what he wanted to express.
The most valuable thing at home now is the thirty acres of Susukida.
The young man has done the math, and his family should be able to sell 450 yuan for one mu of land, and the arrears can be filled by selling eight acres of land.
The remaining 22 mu of land may not be able to meet the family's future farming needs, but the young man can work for others while farming himself, be a half tenant farmer, or open up wasteland for the government.
Anyway, he doesn't lack strength now.
However, Li Luo's expression darkened, it seemed that he was not in a good mood, after a moment of silence, Li Luo forced a smile:
"There is no need to sell the land. If the money is not paid, the sister-in-law can go to work for others."
When she said the word "temporary worker", her voice paused, a bit difficult to speak.
The teenager is precocious, although he is not as good as the weak crown, but he also knows what his sister-in-law means by "short-time labor".
An angry expression appeared on his face, unable to express his thoughts with his voice, the young man waved his hands impatiently, and even ducked his feet, expressing his unwillingness.
The teenager's parents died early, and his sister-in-law dragged him up.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, how can there be any reason to watch her mother being bullied?
Youthful spirit, never accept this kind of thing!
Seeing the young man getting excited, Li Luo quickly comforted him softly:
"I'm not going, I'm not going."
Only then did the boy regain his composure, and took out the land deed from his home.
Li Luo sighed softly, but the young man heard it, and felt very uncomfortable.
I just feel that I am incompetent, poor, and my relatives are being bullied.
Depression and unwillingness accumulated in the young man's heart.
At this time, Li Luo also handed over the packaged pot cakes to the young man.
As a relative who gets along day and night, Li Luo can see the young man's thoughts, and she ordered in a soft and weak voice:
"After we go to the county, let's not argue with people. If we feel wronged, bear with it. Don't beat people up like last time. If you want to kill someone, what should I do?"
What Li Luo was talking about was that half a month ago, three local ruffians came to collect debts.
When collecting debts, those three people talked very frivolously, which finally annoyed Bai Gen and beat all three of them violently.
This frightened Li Luo, and he still has lingering fears until now.
But Shirane sniffled, seeming a bit rebellious.
Obviously, my strength has become stronger and stronger, so why can't I take revenge on those who bullied me?
Knowing a child is like a mother, and a sister-in-law is like a mother, how can Li Luo not see the spirit of a young man?
Add another sentence:
"You are the only man in the family. If you are involved in a lawsuit and you are arrested, your sister-in-law is a woman, and you will be 'killed'."
Hearing this, Bai Gen's face was tangled, he naturally knew what "eating a huge household" meant.
After letting out a sigh of relief, the young man nodded, promising that he would never cause trouble.
Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Before leaving home, the two went to worship on the enshrinement tablet at home.
The god enshrined on the top is a cobblestone.
This is to point to the stone fairy of King Yue, and the villages near Xianghu Lake spread the word that this stone fairy can protect the harvest and avoid disasters!
So Li Luo and Bai Gen bowed before going out, hoping that the stone god would bless them.
The position of the sun changes as the day progresses to the time of noon.
Xiangxi county magistrate, Qiao Yuanyu, the son of the Qiao family, heard that His Royal Highness the King of Yue wanted to go to the streets again on a whim.
Now, he, the county magistrate, didn't even handle official business, and hurried back to Qiao's house from the Yamen.
"If Your Highness wants to go out for a parade, why not have one or two officials accompany you?" Qiao Yuanyu asked nervously.
Wang Ge seemed to think about it, and finally nodded and said:
"Also."
Qiao Yuanyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With her company, there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?
But when he was thinking this way, he suddenly noticed that His Highness frowned, as if he had discovered something interesting, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Qiao Yuanyu just let go of her heart, and suddenly mentioned it, why does His Highness laugh?
However, in Wang Ge Mingling's eyes, he saw a man and a woman in the grain store on the street two kilometers away.
That was Qiao Xiuxu's goal, Wang Ge noticed.
There is nothing strange about women, but there is something wrong with men
Wang Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, and with his bright eyes, he saw a faint phantom of a strange beast on the man's body.
It looks like a human face, horns and claws of a tiger, and there are scales on the back and tail, which is very strange.
Sharing the innate characteristics of the stone-born spirit monkey, Wang Ge took a look at it and knew the name of this strange beast:
Wei Wei
鼍 (tuo two tone) Wai
