Chapter 24 bayonet!
This is a high slope, and a new wooden house has been built on the top of the high slope. It can be seen that this house covers an area of at least three or 400 square meters, has a two-story height, and stands steadily. This is the residence of the village head of Nanjiao Village.
There are two biggest advantages of this residence: first, whenever the village head wakes up early in the morning, he only needs to open the door of the balcony on the second floor, and you can see people working in the morning sunshine under the high slope; second, even if the flood floods the whole village, the house can still be safe and sound.
However, Yang Shenghua, the new village head of Nanjiao Village, has no leisure. More importantly, when he pushes the door and walks out of the balcony every morning, everything he sees is dirty mud, and everything he hears is smelling of mold and decay. It's not appetizing. What else is interesting? On the other hand, the new village head, who almost ruined his property, was full of how to open source and save expenditure at this time.
At this moment, he is waiting in the office on the first floor.
Yang Shenghua is a middle-aged and elderly man in his 40s and nearly 50 years old. The most prominent feature is his delicate beard on his lips. Of course, people often flatter these two beards to match the hero of the village head, but no one dares to tell him honestly that he is already anxious, and it is even more obscene after leaving a beard.
While waiting, Yang Shenghua was used to pinching his beard, gently pinching his beard with two fingers and carefully rubbing it in the upward direction. In this way, it can not only pass the time, but also make it have a sense of warping. However, he was indeed a little impatient to wait at this time, and the tail of his delicate beard was about to be rubbed open.
His eyes were fixed on the two financial officers in front of the table who were concentrating on counting the income and expenditure. Due to excessive attention, his eyes were about to protrude like goldfish eyes, and his throat rolled up and down, which was a sign of swallowing saliva. From this, it is not difficult to judge how anxious Yang Shenghua is, which is more anxious than a high school student accompanying his girlfriend to the hospital to have an abortion at the door of the operating room.
Suddenly, one of the financial officials stopped his movements, but lowered his head and estimated something. In fact, he was waiting for the end of his colleague's calculation. Soon, another financial officer also stopped, and the two quickly exchanged a glance, and their faces were not very good. An older man raised his head to meet the eyes of the village chief.
The village head's eyes were not only burning, but also his voice seemed eager, "Well, how much did you lose?"
The eyes were too hot, which made the financial officer dare not look directly and secretly look away.
When the village head found this situation, his face gradually emerged with a green meaning. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "I ask you, loss, more, less?"
With a secret sigh, the financial officer also risked his life, stood up slightly, sent a bill-like paper to the village head respectfully and carefully, then stood down and whispered, "Almost 100 gold coins, exactly 98 gold coins."
What?! The village head's hand trembled unconsciously and pulled out a hair directly from his beard, but he stayed on the spot like a pain. His face seemed to be a dyeing workshop, and the red, white, purple and black changed one after another. After ten seconds, he finally let out a scream. Others didn't know that they thought someone had taken out a catty of flesh and blood on him.
"These empire moths, the worst mud legs, and the unruly people facing the loess all their lives actually cost me a total of 98 gold coins! Ah, I'm going crazy. I'm really going crazy!"
In fact, it is no wonder that the village head is out of his temper. The purchasing power of gold coins is quite considerable.
The monetary system of Middle-earth is mainly equivalent to gold, silver and copper, and the exchange rate is 100. That is to say, a gold coin is exchanged for 100 silver coins and 10,000 copper coins. What can a copper coin buy? Four yellow and yellow valley steamed buns. A gold coin is 40,000 large steamed buns, four at a time, which is enough to eat 10,000 meals, which is about ten years!
Seeing that the village head looked bad, another financial officer said, "In fact, the loss of ninety-eight gold coins is already less. You see, river dredging requires money, housing reconstruction costs money, and road pollution..." He chattered, not knowing whether he was showing off his arithmetic talent or deliberately expressing himself. Anyway, this second-rate financial officer obviously did not notice the village head's face on the verge of collapse.
The ending of the financial officer was relatively tragic. First, he was kicked out of the door by the village head, and then four members of the self-defense team were thrown into the muddy ground with one arm and one leg.
Waving away the annoying finance officer, Yang Shenghua fell down on a comfortable and spacious chair. It seemed that even God couldn't get along with him. Suddenly, a small nail fell from the big chair that had been good, and Yang Shenghua's weight was also a little heavy. As soon as he sat down, he directly broke the backrest and fell directly.
"Do you even come to bully me?! That's really unreasonable!" The angry village head got up and punched and kicked the chair until it was completely broken.
Not long after, a man pushed the door and entered. Yes, he did not knock on the door like others and wait for the inside to respond before entering respectfully. Instead, it was very natural - as if he opened the door and entered naturally as if at home. This man is very thin. The occasional arms and thighs wrapped in his cloak can be seen that he is really thin.
But this kind of thinness is different from the thinness of bamboo poles, but the flesh is tight and thin on the bones. The pace span between walks is not small, giving people a sophisticated and natural feeling, and their eyes are always subconsciously swimming. Whenever they fall in corners, behind the door and other covered places, they always stay for a while - it is the instinct that has been honed in the battle, instinctively looking for shelter.
This man is a sheriff recruited by the village head. He has been a bayonet for a long time in the border guards. The bayonet is young, only 35 years old, and not ugly, but very cold.
Pushing the door in, the bayonet saw the miserable broken chair, and raised a slightly invisible arc at the corners of its mouth. I don't know whether it was ridicule or some other emotion. Standing up straight, the bayonet said lightly, "Yang Shenghua, I want to tell you three things."
For Yang Shenghua, it is inherently distressing that the financial income is not enough to cover the income, and the nature of the bayonet is to go to the Three Treasures Hall. Every time it is also an important thing. In this way, it makes him have a restless feeling that he wants to grab all his beard. However, he knows the identity of the bayonet, and in any case, he dares not easily show his anger. Yang Shenghua took a deep breath and then smiled: "Just say anything directly. I will try my best to be satisfied if I can help.
The bayonet pulled the corners of its mouth as a polite response, and then said, "First of all, since the day before yesterday, three members have been missing in my self-defense team. Although these three guys are bullies in the village at best, the three of them are often on duty together and can't easily leave the team and haven't returned for a long time. I think you need to pay attention to it.
"The second thing, for the past two days, every nightfall, something strange has happened." The plain tone of the bayonet revealed a faint sarcasm, "According to people who have witnessed strange times, it is a strange little white fox."
Yang Shenghua's curiosity was hooked out and couldn't help asking, "What a strange method?"
The bayonet said, "It can speak. People who have seen this white fox say that it can speak. It's not the key that the white fox can speak. The key is what it says!"
Before Yang Shenghua asked for an inquiry, the bayonet had already said: "Baihu said that the reason why Nanjiao Village suffered from floods is that someone in the village has done something indignation. This is God's punishment for Nanjiao Village. Unless the village disappears completely, the disaster will never stop. It also said that in the near future, outsiders will come here and punish sinners and eliminate bad luck for the village.
Yang Shenghua couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Is there such a strange thing?" Looking at his expression, he seemed to scoff at the white fox and didn't care about it at all.
"I haven't finished yet." The bayonet glanced at Yang Shenghua, and the latter suddenly trembled and shut up. "White Fox said that in order to solve the plight of the villagers, it has chosen the well-being of living and working in peace and contentment for everyone. As long as outsiders punish the sinner, everyone will know where the welfare is."
Speaking of this, the bayonet took out two finger-sized black fruits from its arms. "This is a very magical fruit, which is dried and ground into powder and placed in the air. It is easy to burn blue flames. When the white fox appeared, there was such a flame around him. Well, the man behind him knew how to pretend to be a ghost.
Pretling to be a ghost? Yang Shenghua is least worried about pretending to be a ghost. After all, there is a bayonet sitting here. Who can pry the corner of Nanjiao Village? From this point, it can be seen that Yang Shenghua is not all brainless and can be the real purpose behind this trick.
Unexpectedly, the bayonet sneered, "This is not necessarily! The last thing, because the carpenter's house completely fled two days ago and after the White Fox incident, people in the village are scattered now, and I think it's easy to go wrong.
Yang Shenghua sneered, "I'm afraid of nothing! You are a first-level one-star warrior, and there is no chance to win against you. As for the person behind, hum, if you really have a little strength, you can just come out to find fault directly. How can you use such a dirty method as pretending to be a ghost?
The bayonet pulled the corners of his mouth without saying anything. After a pause, he said, "They will definitely appear tonight, and I will catch them in my hand!"
