Chapter 107 Strange Events in the Small Town
With the sound of firecrackers, the year is gone, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old talismans.
The spring rains are continuous, but the air in the town is not as fresh as after the rain. The sound of firecrackers is crackling everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder smoke permeates the streets and alleys. Some children ran around in the rain, picking up some dry firecrackers and trying to light them. Some of them really sounded, and the children smiled happily.
Chinese New Year...
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Qin Yi stood outside the town and watched the firecrackers from a distance, only then did he realize that the climate of Qianguo is similar to that of China, and there is also a Spring Festival.
I really miss it, and finally found something familiar in another world.
I don't know if Nanli has this kind of festival custom...
Even if there was, Li Qingjun probably wouldn't be free to celebrate the New Year at this time.
This is a small town in Qianguo. It is said to be a small town, but it feels quite lively, comparable to Nanli County. If it rains heavily in Nanli, there will be no people on the street.
He came to this town because he heard on the way that there is a fairy mountain nearby, and it is said that there are immortal relics there, so a Taoist temple was built in the mountain. One hundred and fifty years old...
The number of two hundred and five made Qin Yi want to complain, but he was very interested in the "immortal relics" and "the method of longevity", so he would naturally come to look for one or two.
That's right. Where there are fairy traces, there will naturally be Taoist temples. Let alone my own Xianji mountain, there is not even a tile on the mountain, no wonder there are not many people who believe it. But in fact, Xianji Mountain is the one that really has fairy traces, and the Tsundere stick in the ring at this time proves this point.
It's dusk, and the spring rain is rushing. There is still a distance to see the distant mountains, which are blurred in the rain. Qin Yi planned to stay in the town for a night.
He was at the archway outside the town at the moment, looking at a few notices posted on the street.
Among them was an announcement saying that the well in Wang Yuanwai's house was inexplicably dry, and even the stinky ditch behind the house was out of water. The announcement to hire someone who is proficient in well surveying and dredging must be rewarded heavily.
Qin Yi watched intently, and many things in the past flashed by.
At that time, everyone looked at the rankings and felt that the Zhangjiazhuang incident was mostly human-made, so they finally went...
Right now on this list... the wells have inexplicably dried up, and even the gutters have run out of water. A large family can't find out the usual factors, and will be tossed to the hanging list for help. It is really more likely that there are ghosts and ghosts.
At the foot of this so-called "fairy trail", are demons haunting? Qin Yi smiled.
If it were you, you would definitely go and see it with great interest.
Your share, I did it for you.
The child picked up another firecracker, but set off another squib in the wet rain. The child wiped his nose and threw the Squib away resentfully.
"Hey, this is sure to ring."
A firecracker was handed in front of him, and it seemed to be dry and usable. The child happily took it, and looked up, he was a good-looking big brother, smiling with squinted eyes, very kind. But in this cold spring weather, this big brother is only wearing a thin green shirt, looking cold for him.
The child didn't think too much, lit the firecrackers and threw them into the nearby puddle.
With a "bang", the muddy water splashed, blowing himself into a mud monkey instead.
Qin Yi laughed and said to himself, "Ye Ling must like it very much. I wonder if there are firecrackers there."
"Who is Ye Ling?" the disheveled child asked curiously.
"A kid as stupid as you are."
"I'm not stupid, I will help mother make soy sauce!" The child said unconvinced, and then became curious again: "Big brother, aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold." Qin Yi said with a smile: "Little friend, which family is Wang Yuan's family in the town?"
"That's our proprietor." The child whispered, "My mother said that the proprietor was usually too dark-hearted, so he was punished badly. Brother, you better not go..."
Qin Yi rubbed his head: "You still say you're not a stupid kid, can you say that to anyone you meet, if your mother finds out, she won't beat you to death."
The so-called Wang Yuanwai is an old bureaucrat who has returned to his hometown after leaving his official post. To the town, he is a first-class big shot, the kind who talks and laughs with the county magistrate. One-third of the land in the town belongs to him, and most of the townspeople are either employed by his parents or tricked by him. Qin Yi stood at the gate of Wang Yuanwai's house, looked at the vicious doorkeeper, and shook his head slightly.
I'm afraid I came by mistake.
It has been more than half a month on this journey. Originally, I also wanted to slay demons and eliminate demons, but some strange things I saw along the way were often man-made. The demon was not killed, but there were quite a few bullies. Now this Wang Yuanwai's family can probably be called demon fighting bully, dog eat dog?
Then there's nothing to worry about...
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Liusu said: "Let's take a look, you haven't seen anything all this way, and finally there is something that might be special, of course you have to take a look, don't worry about it."
Qin Yi thought: "Why do I think you want to have fun?"
"Can't I have fun? What a boring ride."
"Now I really doubt how you came here in the mountains for tens of thousands of years."
"Isn't it because you have been holding back in the mountains for a long time?"
"Okay..." Qin Yi had no choice but to step forward.
The servant had noticed this guy a long time ago, and he stood at the door looking stupid and didn't know what to do, just sneaking around. So he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Professional plumbing, sewers, sewage pipes, telephones... Ugh, I'm here to help you solve the well problem."
"Just you?" The servant looked at Qin Yi suspiciously. Wearing a green shirt with a handsome demeanor, he looked like a scribe no matter what. Would he do such a thing?
I didn't drive him away when I saw him sneaking before, because I felt that he had an extraordinary temperament and was not like an ordinary person. It turns out that this guy is not only an ordinary person, but also a well-connected man?
Qin Yi said with a smile: "Anyway, if it doesn't work out, I won't charge you money. You don't care what I look like. I'm still on the list and picking someone?"
The servant went in to report suspiciously, and after a while a sad-faced butler came out, without asking any further questions, he said directly: "Since you are here to see the well, follow me quickly."
It seems that this was also caused by the problem of the well, and it was probably forced by the owner to throw himself into the well...
Qin Yi followed behind and was about to enter the door when suddenly someone came from outside and shouted all the way: "Daoist Qinghe is here!"
The housekeeper was overjoyed and greeted him all the way: "If a Taoist master casts a spell, the problem will be solved!"
Qin Yi turned his head to look, and amidst the sound of firecrackers, a middle-aged Taoist priest came slowly. Wearing a gossip Taoist robe, five willow long beards floating on his chest, holding a whisk, and a mahogany sword hanging obliquely on his back. Set off by the smoke from the firecrackers, it looks extraordinarily fairy-tale.
It's really a bit of practice...Fengchu first floor? Or the second floor?
Not too bad, he was the first Taoist priest Qin Yi had seen since his trip to the north, and it seemed that there might be some ways in that fairy mountain.
If it is a simple monster, as long as the Taoist priests on the first and second floors of Fengchu have some real skills, it is indeed enough.
It's just that after the Taoist priest saddled his horse, including the butler and his servants, he found himself standing alone by the door, and no one paid any attention to him...
Qin Yi laughed dumbfounded, and silently followed the crowd into the room.
Ding Qi, the gatekeeper, said: "Qing and Daoist Priests are here, why are you a scribe going in?"
"The Taoist priest does his way, and I'll let me take care of it. Why don't you care... If you have a beautiful lady in your family, everyone might as well get to know her..."
Qin Yi responded casually, but suddenly there was a warning sign in his heart, as if he was being watched by someone.
Turning his head quickly to look, there was a round figure in yellow clothes at the corner of the street, which disappeared for a moment.
