I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

Every year on October [-]th, it is the day of offering sacrifices to orphans in the Town God's Temple.

Sacrifice to orphans, as the name suggests, is to sacrifice to lonely souls.For the dead who are not worshiped, there is no offering or incense after death. On this day, the Temple of the City God is open for offerings to lonely souls. In a sense, it is a kind of charity activity in the underworld.

Around this day, the Town God’s Temple will hold a large temple fair. There will be a market during the day, and there will be some activities in the temple to donate clothes and rice. At night, there will be rehearsals, which is a rare lively time of the year.

There are even rumors among the people that when watching a social opera at night, except for the lanterns hanging on the stage, there are no fires around.Against the backdrop of the night and the bright cold moon, the audience below is mixed with ghosts and people. If you look down at your heels, if you are unlucky, you will still see people watching the show with their feet on their feet.

The old man said that ghosts don't touch the ground, that's how it is.

"Master, is this... is it true? Can you not go?"

My book boy is really brave, but Cheng Jin doesn't force him: "You can think about it, the temple fair is a rare and lively day in Tangxi, don't you like it the most, Xiao Acong~"

Ah Cong wanted to cry but had no tears: "But I'm afraid of ghosts!"

Pan Xiaoan next to him let out a ruthless mocking sound, cowardly, too cowardly, there is nothing to be afraid of ghosts, but they are just lonely and wild ghosts, and ghosts are scary.

However, Mao Mao took a look at the vicious scholar who had beaten the ghost and maimed him, and wisely did not make any publicity.

"Speaking of which, offering sacrifices to orphans seems to be a folk activity unique to the Jiangnan area, and there may be some new things."

In the end, Ah Cong still couldn't resist the temptation of the lively temple fair, and planned to go shopping with Pan Laotou.As for the social drama, he is not going to watch it, after all...he is really afraid of ghosts.

On the fifteenth day, after Cheng Jin entrusted Heishan to strengthen the cell, he took his master to the Town God's Temple.

As the new county magistrate of Tangxi, of course Cheng Jin would not miss this first appearance. After meeting with Lu Miaozhu in front of the common people, the sacrificial activities of the temple fair began.

This is also the first time Cheng Jin has seen this kind of activity. Someone is carrying a paper figurine to patrol the street, followed by a person playing a musical instrument. It has to be said that an instrument like the suona has an unparalleled innate advantage.

It was lively and lively, and the people followed devoutly. Cheng Jin watched the beginning and then stopped watching.

"Why? Don't you like excitement?"

Heishan didn't nod, didn't shake his head, just stared in the direction of Chenghuang Temple.

Cheng Jin looked over, and happened to see people from the Town God's Temple donating clothes and offering porridge, offering sacrifices to orphans, not only the ghosts of the underworld, but also the poor people in the underworld. .

However, because of the prestige of the local Town God's Temple, no one dared to make trouble.

Cheng Jin understood the meaning in Heilulu's eyes: "Do you think Tangxi is really poor?"

Montenegro: This seat sees that you have no hope of promotion.jpg.

"You can't say that. Although there are bandits in the backcountry of Tangxi, everything is difficult at the beginning. I am going to ask Lu Miao to wish me a few words. After all, there must be some yamen servants who patrol the streets." A lot of money, otherwise he would have to sell the belongings of the yamen.

I don't know the taste of the previous county magistrate. There is not much money in the yamen's account, but it is decorated with gold and jade, and it is all replaced by real things.

The porridge line was getting longer and longer, and the Temple of the City God didn't have enough manpower, so Cheng Jin simply took Mr. Hei to help: "Come here, it's a merit."

Hei Lulu: ...a merit that is not enough to squeeze between the teeth.

Having said that, Heishan has done a much better job than a certain county magistrate. After all, Cheng County magistrate was a vegetable worker in the university cafeteria back then, and his skill of shaking the spoon is well-known to Auntie Dafan.

"Huh? My lord, why are you here? Quickly follow the old man."

Cheng Jin porridge was halfway through, and was dragged away by Lu Miaozhu to offer incense to the City God. Tuliu Heishan stood out among a group of middle-aged and elderly porridge workers. Because of his appearance, the team was longer than the ones next to him Enough for [-] meters.

Heilulu: I really can't understand you mortals.jpg.

Ah Cong and Pan Xiaoan strolled to the gate of the Town God's Temple, and found the master, waving his hands happily.

Pan Xiaoan: "In these years, I didn't expect the big demon to be so down-to-earth."

"What did you say? I didn't catch it."

Maomao changed his rhetoric by the way: "It's nothing, I'm asking whether you want to go shopping after all, it's just some gadgets, if you buy it, you can buy it, your adults don't seem to be poor."

Ah Cong is very diligent and thrifty in managing his family: "This is not good, no matter how rich you are, you can't be a disaster. It is said that the rice wine balls over there are delicious, may I treat you to eat?"

"Is there any delicious food from you?"

Regarding this, Ah Cong is absolutely not humble: "When I learn it, it will definitely taste better than them!"

Pan Xiaoan immediately became interested: "Let's go, let's steal the teacher!"

The street was bustling, and in the yamen, except for Zhu Fengnian, only Big Goose and a group of younger brothers were guarding the backyard.

Suddenly, a voice came from the corner of the eaves: "Brother, I have inquired about it. This dog official is very young, his hair has not even grown, and the group of fools in the county have not confiscated and bought him. There is not even a yamen servant. Now he is in the yamen. No one, let's go and rescue the brothers!"

"Wait, be careful of cheating."

The male voice refused: "Why is there such a thing as cheating? We are all first-class experts, and the dog officer is not here now, so the brothers who are on the watch should all inquire. He is giving alms at the Town God's Temple, and he will be sure in a while. Can't come back."

The elder brother's heart was pounding, but his reason told him that everything was safe now, if he missed the present, he would have to face the county magistrate head-on.Although they are not afraid of killing dog officials, they are afraid that other villages will unite to deal with them.

"Okay, you bring four people, and quickly rescue them."

"Then the people in Hezhai will be saved too?"

"save."

When the elder brother gave an order, the younger brother immediately jumped off the roof.He really lived up to his reputation as a good player, with such a big body, he landed silently, and a group of people went to the prison quietly and quickly, that was called silence.

However, all of this is happening under Zhu Shenggui's nose.

Ever since he became a ghost, Zhu Sheng discovered that his sense of hearing is extremely keen, and he can hear the slightest movement clearly.Sure enough, as the adults expected, these bandits didn't want to pay, so they came to "rob the prison".

But regarding this, Zhu Fengnian had no worries on his face. After all, the prison... even if a ghost came, it would probably be suspended.

Thinking of this, he floated his ghostly body and chased after him all the way. When he got close, he gave each of them a breath of air-conditioning. Under the big sun, there was a sudden coldness. Even if he was a bandit, his heart would beat seventy step.

"Brother Kui, do you feel a chill down your back?"

"What are you talking about? It's important to save people! You don't want to save your brother!"

"Help help!"

The bandits knew where Tangxi's prison was built, and Brother Kui and his party were familiar with it.However, when Brother Kui saw the iron door of the cell, he was dumbfounded.

"This... Tie Zhu, can you open this lock?"

Such a big piece of iron lump can't be cut open with an axe. Damn it, no wonder no one is guarding it.

Tie Zhu pinched the lock, but was afraid of making a noise that would alarm people, so he pried it for a long time, but he couldn't move it: "No way, Brother Kui, this lock is too hard."

"Then let's dig a tunnel, brothers, move quickly."

The four people brought by Brother Kui were obviously very good at digging tunnels. They worked together and dug in from the door of the cell.

However, the moment Kui was pulled out of the tunnel and entered the cell, the entire cave disappeared in front of him!

It's gone in the blink of an eye!

The prison cell is already eerie and scary, and if you come here like this, your hard heart will burst out. Brother Kui was so shocked that he yelled directly: "Ah——there is a ghost!"

Brother Kui was so frightened that his two little brothers immediately hugged each other.

After a stick of incense, the hole still did not appear, Brother Kui bravely pried it with a shovel, it was solid.

"Brother Kui Kui Kui, it is said that today is the Temple of the City God to sacrifice orphans. Do you think this is a lonely soul or some kind of wild ghost..."

"Nonsense! Dig! Dig another way!"

Brother Kui was terrified, but just as he was leading someone to shovel, a big living person jumped out of the solid hole just now!

"what----"

There was a burst of screams, and this movement finally woke up all the other prisoners in the cell.

"Brother Kui, what's your name? Did someone not be rescued? Why haven't you come out for so long?"

Brother Kui pushed the little brother away, and took a firefly to take pictures on the ground: "Where did you come from just now? Is it a human or a ghost?"

Only then did the little brother see the ground, and there was another series of screams.

Bewitched, there is a ghost in this yamen!

Everyone didn't care about saving people anymore, but no matter where they dug, they couldn't dig up the soil. After a busy meal, the fear in everyone's hearts had reached its peak.

"What should I do, Brother Kui? I don't want to die!"

Brother Kui didn't want to die either, so he immediately found his brother in the prison to inquire about the news, but the bandit in the prison became even more frightened when he heard it: "Brother Kui, when you heard about it, you wanted to rescue us! You don't know , the jailers here are so scary, they give us a meal of decapitation, it's actually sweet! So sweet that Brother Gui's throat hurts now!"

Kui Ge: Terrible.jpg.

But the sentry outside the door saw that the person had left and never returned, so he was smart enough not to go in to give the head away, but instead ran to report to the elder brother.When the eldest brother heard this, he made a decisive decision to leave.

But at this time, it was obviously too late.

"Let's go? Where are you going? Everyone has come. I don't know which brother from the mountain, and which brother came to redeem him?"

Big Brother: Shit, this man deserves a beating!

Now that he was blocked, the eldest brother was also a ruthless person, so he picked up the double ax and chopped it up. The ax danced like a tiger, and ordinary people would not dare to get close. Who can stand the ax going down.

This is the famous stunt of Big Brother Axe. He has never had an opponent in Tangxi for several years, but... just today, he lost.

The elder brother really didn't want to admit it, but the fact is that he lost to a frail scholar!

How can this be? !

"Come again!!!"

Cheng Jin thought for a while, and immediately satisfied the other party's request, and took the other ax as well.He weighed the ax casually, and made the following remarks: "Oh, it's quite light."
