Fantasia: The blind man at the beginning starts with playing the erhu

Sanhuai Village.

The night in the village is quiet and empty.

Occasionally, there are fine footsteps on the road, mixed with the smell of mud and grass.

Li Pingan walked to a house at the entrance of the village and knocked on the door, "Excuse me, is anyone at home?"

A big yellow dog lay at the door and barked at Li Pingan when he saw a stranger.

Now there are many portraits of myself on the street, and there will be trouble when I go to teahouses and restaurants.

If you have money, you can't spend it.

A woman steps out.

"Excuse me, I want to ask for some water."

"Go! Go to another house."

The woman turned and went back to the house.

As he walked, he muttered.

"Smelly beggar!"

No way, Li Pingan had no choice but to go to another house.

Soon, the door opened.

A man in rough clothes and a pair of hemp shoes came out.

"Is there a problem?"

"I'm a traveler traveling far away, I don't know if I can ask for a drink."

The man took a look at Li Pingan, "Okay, please come over there."

Li Pingan drank three bowls of cold water.

The man enthusiastically took out some melon seeds again, "Brother, where are you going?"

"Go north."

"North?"

The man's face changed slightly.

Li Pingan heard something wrong in his tone, "What happened to the north?"

The man smiled wryly, "Brother doesn't know, there are only two roads in Sanhuai Village, the south and the north, but now the north road can no longer be used."

"The road was swallowed by mountain torrents?"

The man whispered: "It's not a mountain torrent, but it's more terrifying than a mountain torrent, it's...a monster!

Many people in the village have suffered, and now no one dares to go north. "

"Does the government not care?" Li Pingan asked.

"Who cares about this barren mountain, not to mention that this monster is only in the mountains to the north.

If you don't go to the north, you'll be fine. Anyway, there is more than one way out of the village. "

Li Pingan hesitated for a moment, "How long would it take to make a detour to the north?"

"At least two months."

Li Pingan frowned slightly, "Do you want to go around so far?"

The man said: "There is a gap between the two mountains. It will take a lot of effort to go around. The further you go, the more difficult it will be. Besides, there is nothing in the north."

Li Pingan was caught in a dilemma.

"Brother, I advise you not to go, nothing is more important than life.

A few months ago, a man named Liu Boldly went up the mountain after drinking some wine in our village, but he still hasn’t come back, probably gone. "

The man sighed.

Although Li Pingan doesn't want to make trouble, but if he takes a detour

"It's too late tonight, why don't you just stay at my house."

"That's work."

Dinner is very simple, gruel with pickled vegetables.

Because of Li Ping'an, the man fried two dishes.

It's just that there is not much oil and water, and it tastes astringent.

The man's daughter was wearing a coarse cloth dress, clean, but a little thin.

At first glance, it is caused by long-term malnutrition.

"Come on, these are all potatoes grown at home."

The man is very enthusiastic.

After dinner, Li Pingan was blowing the wind in the yard.

The little girl came over, blinking mischievously.

"Uncle, can you stay at our house for a few more days?"

"why?"

The little girl approached, leaned into Li Ping'an's ear and said, "Because you are here, Daddy can make delicious food~"

Li Pingan couldn't help smiling and patted her head.

"Then what do you usually eat?"

"Porridge and pickles." The little girl pouted.

Li Pingan couldn't help asking the man: "Brother, are your taxes heavy?"

The man smiled bitterly, "Originally, after paying the taxes, the family can make do with a few members.

There is a tax of 5 taels of silver to be paid a year, and 500 copper coins can be exchanged for 1 tael of silver on the market.

According to the market price, you only need to pay 2500 copper coins to deduct the tax.

But now the imperial court stipulates that the delivery must be made in silver, but generally, wherever there is silver, they are circulated in copper coins.

There is no other way, so I can only go to the government to exchange money.

The official price for silver is 800 copper coins, so the annual tax payment becomes 4000 copper coins. "

Li Pingan nodded and said nothing more.

This is a trick commonly used by the government, and he has also experienced it.

How do you say that.

Plant a millet in spring and harvest ten thousand in autumn.

There is no land in the world, and the farmer still starves to death.

This shitty world.

When going to bed at night, the little girl gave Li Pingan a candy hidden during the Chinese New Year.

I begged him to stay for two more days so that he could have food tomorrow.

Li Pingan agreed with a smile.

The little girl happily went to bed

But the next day, Li Pingan bid farewell to the man's family.

The little girl stared at Li Pingan in a daze, and then teardrops of big beans fell down.

The innocent child saw the danger in the world at this moment.

The mother asked her what was wrong, but the child refused to tell.

Li Pingan couldn't help touching her little nose, and whispered: "Uncle, I put your candy under the pillow."

"Really?" the little girl said vaguely.

"Uncle, never lie."

The little girl puffed her face, "You lied to me last night."

Li Pingan smiled without saying a word.

After Li Ping'an left, the little girl ran to the head of the bed and removed the pillow.

Suddenly, there was no candy.

"My sugar~"

The little girl was about to cry out, but suddenly found a small silver stone.

The little girl didn't recognize her, so she called out, "Daddy! What is this?"

The man walked over to take a look, his face changed suddenly.

"Silver! Niuniu, where did you get it?"

The man realized that his brother must have forgotten it last night.

After chasing him out, he had already lost sight of the figure.

The man looked at the large piece of silver ingot in his hand, swallowed and spit.

This is at least 20 taels, and I have never seen so much money in my life.

Niuniu blinked, "Candy?"

He sat down on the ground and sobbed.

Adults are liars~

............

In the distance, Li Pingan led the old cow towards the distant mountain.

With that candy in my mouth.

Nodded, pretty sweet.

The old cow gave him a horn but didn't know to bring me a piece.

Li Pingan said, "Just one piece, I will go up the mountain to pick some fruit for you later."

It is said that there are no real monsters on this mountain, and I don't know what kind of monsters they are.

at the same time.

"Brother, it's that mountain."

Two young men and women in Taoist robes appeared at the foot of the mountain.

"Sure enough, the evil spirit is soaring, junior sister, let's go."

"Brother, why do I always feel a little fuzzy in my heart, why don't I go back and report to Master." The young female Taoist said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of, there is this demon-slaying sword."

Unlike female Taoist priests, male Taoist priests are full of confidence.
