, Gou worked as a warlock in Wuyinmen during those years
As the old saying goes, a village of fools makes up a village.
Daniu is the fool in this village, and he is also the village guard in this village.
Lin Yi naturally knew what the village guard meant to the village, but it seemed that Xiao Zao also knew.
Those children seemed to be very afraid of Xiao Zao. When they saw Xiao Zao, who was short in stature, rushing out of the yard with a broom that was longer than him, they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
Xiao Zao helped Da Niu, but Da Niu could only smile stupidly.
After Xiaozao drove away the group of children, he returned to the house and walked out after a while.
"Daniu, you haven't had breakfast yet. Come on, I'll give you a steamed bun."
Daniu wiped his hands on his clothes, took the steamed bun, and squatted down He ate it with relish on the ground.
After eating a few mouthfuls, he raised his head and said to Xiaozao, "The buns are delicious, hehe."
Xiaozao also had a smile on his face.
"Hey, this kid is quite kind-hearted."
Lin Yi turned his head and saw Cao Dahua standing next to him.
Qin Xian and Duolong also left the room.
There is no doubt that Xiaozao’s actions just now were seen by them.
Duolong waved to Xiao Zao and asked, "Xiao Zao, why are you so nice to this big cow?"
Xiao Zao walked over and replied, "Daniu Although his mind is not very good, he is very kind, and he has saved the lives of many people in our village."
After hearing this, several people became interested.
Cao Dahua immediately asked, "How did you save the villagers' lives? What happened? Tell us about it."
Xiao Zao said, "Just a few years ago, our village relied on There are a few old houses on the hillside”
A few years ago.
One day, someone in the village was having a special day, so he borrowed the open space in front of the abandoned old house next door and set up a few tables there.
As usual, Daniel went to help enthusiastically.
After finishing the business, everyone sat down and started eating and drinking.
Daniu was sitting alone in front of a small round table, enjoying a good meal and a good meal. He looked up inadvertently, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately jumped up from the chair.
Yelling loudly, he ran towards one of the old houses like crazy.
In the old house, a few naughty children were having fun. When Daniel shouted and chased them away, they all ran out of the house in fright.
While driving the children, Daniel shouted, "Get out, get out."
The frightened children cried and found their families, and the villagers gathered around them. So I watched the big cow keep driving away the people in front of the old house.
"Daniu, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly go crazy? If you scare my child, I will never be done with you."
Someone just gave up When he said harsh words, he only heard a "squeak", followed by ""Crash!", dust was flying, and the old house collapsed.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
After a while, someone asked Daniel " Daniel, how did you know this house was going to fall down?"
Daniu still had a silly smile, pointing at the children who were scared away just now and said, "Safe, safe. "
The adult who just said harsh words to Daniel immediately realized that he was wrong. Like the parents of several other children, he stepped forward to express his gratitude to Daniel.
" I will never forget what happened that day, because if Daniel hadn't driven everyone out of the house, I might have been buried in the house. "Xiao Zao said solemnly.
"It turns out there is a life-saving grace. "Cao Dahua said.
"Da Niu has done this kind of thing more than once. "Xiao Zao said immediately.
"It's just that at the moment when the incident happened, people were full of gratitude to Daniel. After the incident, Daniel was still the fool that people said. " Duolong said.
Xiao Zao turned around and looked at Da Niu, and whispered in a low voice, "I never thought Da Niu was a fool, he was just too kind. "
After breakfast, everyone packed their bags and prepared to set off.
However, Lao Dongtou stopped him and said, "It rained all night yesterday, and the mountain roads are muddy and difficult to walk." , The weather is nice today, let’s take a day off, and wait until the road dries up early tomorrow morning, then it won’t be too late to start again. ”
Qin Xian went out of the village to explore the road and confirmed that what Old Dongtou said was the truth. After everyone gathered together, it was still early before the time agreed by Daliang, and they were not in a hurry, so they planned to go back to the village again. Stay one night.
As a wealthy family, the Su family would not treat Lao Dongtou badly.
On Su Can’s insistence, Lao Dongtou accepted two silver ingots. , and hurriedly asked Xiaozao to go to the food storage place to get more game.
Lin Yi has traveled to this world for so long, and this is the first time he has traveled so far, and he is very curious about the local customs. .
Old Dongtou has a lot of stuff in his belly. He really thinks that he is a storyteller and tells everyone some weird things passed down from Zhuangyuan Village.
That's right. Speaking of excitement, noisy footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the yard.
"Old Dongtou, Old Dongtou" someone shouted.
"Here he is, he's in the house." Here. ”
Lao Dongtou opened the door and saw the village chief leading a group of people, rushing into the yard.
The yard was quite big, but now it was dark and full of people. .
Judging from their attire and behavior, these people should be villagers here.
"Village chief, you brought so many people to my place."
The village chief looked at the people next to Old Dongtou, and first groaned, "Why are there so many outsiders here?
Then, he pointed at Xiaozao standing aside and said, "Old Dongtou, I came here to tell you that the lottery for the sacrifice of Snake Mountain has ended, and Xiaozao has been selected as the sacrifice." ,youLet's get ready. Let's send the jujubes together tomorrow. ”
“Plop. ”
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Lao Dongtou’s knees softened and he fell to his knees.
Although Xiaozao tried his best to restrain himself, his body still couldn’t stop shaking. .
Everyone who travels already knows the unwritten rules in this village.
According to tradition, the little jujube drawn will become the victim of maintaining stability in the village. Offer a sacrifice to Snake Mountain as a sacrifice to ensure the peace of Zhuangyuan Village for three years
"Village Chief, can you change someone? Xiaozao has lost his parents since he was a child. My grandson is so pitiful, otherwise Change it to me, I, an old man, don’t have much time left to live. Change it to me and go to Snake Mountain, please.”
Faced with the pleading of the old Dongtou, the village chief did not move at all and just shook his head coldly. Nodding his head.
The villagers who came with him also spoke up.
"The rules in the village have always been to worship boys or girls. If you, an old man, go to Snake Mountain, what if the king of the mountain comes to you?" When you get angry, you bring trouble to the whole village. Can you bear this responsibility?"
"Old Dongtou, the year before last we drew the old Xu family, and they only had one child, so why didn't you just send the child up the mountain obediently? Well. "
"This is fate, Old Dongtou, just talk to Xiaozao properly. If you stay here for one more night, you will have to send Xiaozao up the mountain early tomorrow morning. ”
After listening to what these people said, and looking at Lao Dongtou who was lying on the ground crying and Xiaozao with tears on his face, Su Xiuer, who had always been soft-hearted, couldn’t help but lie on Lin Yi, unable to bear any more Look.
Lin Yi comforted Su Xiu'er and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
At this time, Cao Dahua said loudly, "Granny, I don't believe this mountain king is so awesome. Sacrificing children will endanger the village, and I, Mr. Cao, would like to have a meeting."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Yi, who knew that Lin Yi was comforting Su Xiu'er at this time and did not look at him at all.
A hand was placed on Cao Dahua's shoulder.
It was Mr. Qin.
"Mr. Cao is upright, well done. This matter will be settled tomorrow." Leave it to you"
