Leaning on the fence to watch the birth of the moon

"Huh? Is there a guest?" Although he told Brother Seven that he wanted to cut the window grilles by himself, Mo Xian also knew that he didn't have the ability, so he had already made up his mind, "After returning home, draw a pattern on paper with charcoal, and then Cut again" idea.Therefore, Mo Xian has been thinking about what kind of pattern to draw along the way.

When the ox cart entered the village, Mo Xian had already sketched out the popular patterns in his mind, such as the fat pig arch, the magpie camp gate, and the five bats coming to the gate.I just waited to enter the door to discuss with Seventh Senior Brother, but I heard Seventh Senior Brother's obviously suspicious voice.

So Mo Xian raised his head and followed the suspicious gaze of the seventh senior brother, only to see two carriages parked in front of Mr. Zhao Wuye's house.Moreover, it seems that these two carriages are not privately owned, but vehicles rented out in the dealership for business.

Mo Xian couldn't help thinking, could it be that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and Zhao Wuye has relatives coming to visit?

At the next moment, three people walked out of Zhao Wuye's room. The first one was about the same age as Zhao Wuye, and he should be an ordinary farmer, and the second one was a fat middle-aged man, dressed outside the staff The third one was dressed as a literati, but he didn't have the noble and free and easy style of the literati at this time, but was full of the oily taste of the market.

The three people who didn't seem to have much contact at the moment, except for the greasy literati's face was a little unhappy, the other two smiled with satisfaction, and the three quickly walked out of Mr. Zhao's small courtyard together.

The old farmer and the member got into the same car, and the other was the naughty literati himself.

Two people dressed as coachmen walked out of the kitchen of Wu Ye's house, and the slick literati's car left immediately.The old farmer and the member waited for Fifth Master, who was smoking a pipe, to slowly come out of the house, and the two said goodbye respectfully before leaving.

Looking at the situation, those three people are not relatives of the fifth master, but Mo Xian has no intention of continuing to inquire about anything, especially at this time the ox cart has already parked in front of his house, and Mo Xian wants to go in with the seventh senior brother to tidy up These newly bought food were eaten, and then the kang was heated up, and the two sat at the kang table and cut the window grilles.

But as soon as he and Seventh Senior Brother got out of the car, they heard Fifth Master yelling: "The three boys are back? Come over to discuss business!"

Both Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother froze obviously, and they looked at each other. The current situation is not only a good thing, but also a bad thing.

The good thing is that, from some aspects, Zhao Wuye really regarded them as members of the village, and began to show the uniqueness of the village to them.

As for the bad things... It seems that they can't continue to live an ordinary and carefree peasant life.

However, since he has gained peace and comfort in this village, it is worth paying some price for it.But if the price is too high, then even if he wants to break the agreement with the ghost doctor, he will take the seventh senior brother away and find another place to live in seclusion...

"Old Qi, after driving home, call the two children of the Sun family." Zhao Wuye knocked his cigarette pouch on the sole of his shoe and pointed at Liu Qi.

"Hey." Liu Qi nodded bluntly, and after Mo Xian and Senior Brother Qi unloaded their belongings from the ox cart, they turned around and drove the cart back to the small courtyard next to him - his family and Mo Xian's were neighbors at the time. , but also convenient.

"You two pack up and come to my room later."

Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother naturally agreed honestly, Zhao Wuye nodded, and went back home with his hands behind his back.

But it was easy for Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother to pack up their things, they just threw all the food into the firewood shed.The rest were put on the kang in the house, waiting to be cleaned up when they came back.So it didn't take a while for the two of them to arrive at Zhao Wuye's room.

Except for Hunter Xiao who had entered the mountain again, not only the adult men in the village were sitting here, but also the women.This is the first time Mo Xian saw Aunt Zhao (widow Zhao), she looked like a wonderful young woman—even though she was covered, it was hard to imagine that she had two teenage girls just from the outside. son.

The women are all sitting on the kang, while the men are sitting on benches in the ground. The same thing is that everyone is drinking tea from a large porcelain bowl.

"Although Xiao Ou and Xiao Xiao have only lived here for a few months, we can all see that you two are stable people who really want to live here. If that's the case, then it's your own family." Zhao Wuye It's not that he said something at the beginning, but he ordered Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother first.

The two of them felt that maybe they should stand up and say something at this time, but Zhao Wuye stopped him with a gesture.

"The people in our village all have a past. Although everyone has thrown away those messy things, there may be accidents in the future. I still want to introduce them to everyone."

Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother vaguely felt that this "it's inevitable that something will happen in the future" refers to "it's inevitable that someone's enemy will find him in the future without knowing it".But this is true. It is indeed necessary for such a group of weird people to gather together and have children here in the future. It is indeed necessary to know each other better.

They are the latest newcomers to enter the door, so the introduction should naturally start from them.Although Mo Xian felt that even if they didn't introduce them, most of the people present would have already found out their identities.

"Abandoned by the Jieyun Sect, Xiao Xuanyi."

"Ghost doctor disciple, Ouyang Moxian. It turned out to be his younger brother, but he was expelled from the Jieyun sect a few years ago."

Brother Seven's self-introduction.Sure enough, it didn't cause any big disturbance, but it was Mo Xian. After he introduced himself, everyone in the room looked over curiously, but soon the curiosity turned into understanding again, although Mo Xian didn't know that they understood it. What.

But Zhao Wuye smiled kindly and kindly, and this Mo Xian can probably guess a little bit—Senior Brother Seven's identity is easy to guess, after all, they didn't change their names when they came to this village, and he At that time, he was seriously injured, and anyone with a little knowledge would know who he was.

To this world, he is like a person who jumped out of a crack in the rock. Mo Xian believed that unless he himself reported his family name, no one would be able to guess where he came from.

Mo Xian also briefly thought about whether to make up a life experience, but soon gave up.He didn't have much confidence that he could make up his fake life experience in front of a group of suspected veterans, and there was no need for it.Especially as a doctor—a doctor's apprentice is also a doctor.And unless the reputation is rotten, doctors are welcome no matter where they go.

"Old man, I was originally the Elder Tieshamen Dharma Protector, Zhao Tiankui." Zhao Wuye took a sip of tea, and introduced in a calm tone, without pride, but with a kind of desolation.

Mo Xian didn't know what Tieshamen was. In fact, his knowledge of Jianghu sect was only limited to Liangzhou where Jieyun sect was located, and he didn't even recognize the local sect in Liangzhou.But looking at the slight movement of Senior Brother Seven's expression, it seems that it is not a small sect.

"Xiao Xiao's family is not here, so I'll introduce him, Canglang Palace Zuo Guardian, Xiao Zuo." After taking another sip of tea, the old man continued, and then looked at Liu Qi.

"Crysmus, Liu Qi, hehe, this is his real name." Liu Qi smiled honestly.

"Red horse and silver gun, Du Jiaojiao." This is Aunt Liu Qi who was introduced, and while talking about it, she glanced at Liu Qi complaining, probably because the body's posture at this time is really the same as Jiaojiao's. Words can't be relied on...

"The eldest son of the owner of Bailian Mountain Villa, Sun Mu." This is Mu Tou's grandson.

"Ye son, Sun Shi." This is Shitou's grandson, and Shitou smiled brightly at Mo Xian, "Actually, the two of us are in the same situation as you two."

Mo Xian was taken aback, thinking that he had met a married same-sex couple.Unexpectedly, I heard a thick male voice, but it was Sun Shitou's "wife".

"Poison Scholar, Du Ce." Then the Poison Scholar gave another "charming" smile, pointed at Sun Mutou's "lady" and said, "Chuo Jing, the former head disciple of Guyun Sect, Hu Yueer."

The ignorant and ignorant Mo Xian had heard of this Guyun sect, because it is the most famous... nun sect...

"Fairy Bibo, Hu Xiu." The voice was not much louder than that of a mosquito, but I also knew that this should be the self-introduction of the last woman present - Aunt Zhao (widow Zhao).

After her, naturally there was only the last man left: "Flying Centipede, Wang Laizi." Wang Laizi rubbed his head and smiled wretchedly.

After a round of introductions, Mo Xian's expression didn't change much - because he didn't know what these names meant.On the other hand, Senior Brother Seven, his facial muscles are spasming uncontrollably...

However, Zhao Wuye didn't give the poor seventh senior brother much time to adapt. He took out a piece of crumpled paper, lit the cigarette pouch and said, "We want to live in peace, and the reputation of a ghost village is not very good. Enough. After all, this ghost can stop the fearful people, but it can't stop the wolf-like officials."

Mo Xian nodded in his heart. Officials these days, as long as they can collect taxes and earn money, and they don’t have any backing, not to mention that this is just some scary rumors, even if there are really ghosts and demons, they will To come to collect taxes.Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother once wondered why there were no tax collectors in this place after the autumn harvest. It turns out that this is also one of the "welfare" of this place.

"The reason why no one collects taxes in our place is because we are also heroes who protect the safety of our side!" The old man who hadn't shown anything special when he introduced himself just now said with a haughty face and raised his chest. And hummed a smoke ring.

"What do you mean?" Mo Xian didn't understand, and didn't understand how Haojie got in touch with tax collection, so he asked Seventh Senior Brother in a low voice.

Seventh Senior Brother seems to have recovered from the shock. Hearing Mo Xian's question, he explained to him in a low voice after thinking for a while: "We should be regarded as the leaders of the underworld here."

"Ah?" Although he thinks that Shuanggui Village is good, it means that this place is very suitable for him to live a comfortable life as a small farmer. How did he get in touch with the leader of the underworld? !

Mo Xian was puzzled, but found that Fifth Master Zhao was looking this way with satisfaction, which means... Brother Seven is right?

"Look, everyone! Now someone has crossed the line and committed crimes on our land! What should we do?!" Zhao Wuye slapped the torn paper he took out and shouted.

"Beat his mother!!" Both men and women said in unison.

Mo Xian: "..."

Because Mo Xian was wondering what was written on the paper, after the meeting ended, Mo Xian carefully expressed his willingness to take a look at the paper, and Zhao Wuye generously handed over the paper.

"Twenty eggs, ten catties of fatty pork, two live chickens, four taels of refined salt, one piece of cotton cloth..." After reading the beginning, Mo Xian became embarrassed, "Fifth Master, did you get it wrong?" No matter how you look at it, it looks like a shopping list for new year's goods.

"No." Zhao Wuye took it over to have a look, and said that it was correct.

"Then what exactly is this thing, and how can someone commit a crime on our land?"

"It's not like a group of people came from somewhere. They occupied Wild Boar Mountain and tied up a dozen people from Zhangjia Village. This is the price of the redemption ticket sent by someone."

"Occupying the mountain as king? Kidnapping? Is this the asking price for the kidnapping?" So Mo Xian couldn't be more embarrassing. He even felt that his expression probably couldn't recover. It turns out that the kidnapping is to be redeemed with New Year's goods these days...
