Li Qingshan lay contentedly in the haystack, stretched his limbs, and unknowingly, fell asleep.
On this night, he did not dream of his previous life again.
In the thatched hut not far from the cowshed, Mrs. Li and his wife tossed and turned by the aroma of meat, and did not fall asleep until midnight.
Early the next morning, just after the rooster crowed three times, a short fat man wearing an emerald green silk shirt came to the field, he was not a bystander, it was the largest landlord in this small Woniu village, Mr. Liu, that is, the steward Liu in the mouth of Dr. Li's wife, just because he had been a steward for a large family in the city, and when he was old, he received the gift of the master's family and returned home in splendid clothes.
But he still wanted to be called Steward Liu to show his completely different status from these mud-legged people, and to distinguish him from the ordinary landlords of the earth buns. And because most of the land in the village was annexed by him by various means, he had another nickname "Liu Bancun".
If Liu Bancun has any ambitions, it will naturally become Liu Quancun, but this cannot be rushed, in the words he heard from the gentleman in the city, it is to slowly plot it. He believed that he would be able to fulfill this wish in his lifetime, and when the time came, the people in this village would be his long-term workers, and he would be the emperor of the earth in this Woniu Village.
But Steward Liu was a little unhappy in his heart now, only to see that there were few long-term workers working on his own land, and he was beckoning fat hands: "Why are these people?" What about the others? "
A long-term worker accompanied him with a smile and said, "Steward Liu, go help Li Er build a house." "
"Li Er, which Li Er?"
"It's the cowherd!"
"Of course I know, where did he get the money?"
"That kid went to shit luck, picked up a big wild boar for nothing, as long as the village was willing to help him build a house, he would send a large piece of pork, just under the sleeping cow ridge, and now it is very hot."
"Then why don't you go?"
"I turned my face with him." The long-term worker sneered, his heart was extremely reluctant, that was meat, where to eat it ordinary.
Steward Liu picked up his mustache: "Let's go, let's go and take a look." "
As soon as he woke up, Li Qingshan began to separate his family, and the top priority was to build a decent house for himself, and he could no longer send people under the fence.
He didn't have such ability before, but with this big wild boar, many things were solved, and with a little greeting, many people came to help, and he could be regarded as seeing the magic of pork in this world.
Under Wo Niu Gang, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, the scenery is beautiful, if it is left in the previous life, such a place is either a tourist attraction, or a rich villa area, which round will be occupied by him, and this place is far away from the village, which is also convenient for him to keep secrets, and he can communicate with Qing Niu with confidence.
Li Qingshan stood among the crowd, commanding back and forth, feeling indescribably comfortable, and somewhat understood the meaning of eating meat that Qingniu said, not only to strengthen the body.
If you are a person who has no food and clothing, and you are living all day long to satisfy your stomach, how can you have the mind to do anything else, let alone see your heart?
Steward Liu stood in the distance and glanced at it from a distance, and said to himself: "So, their brothers are going to separate." But I happened to see that Mrs. Li and her wife were also watching from a distance, and when they saw that their brother had built a new house, they were not only unhappy, but gritted their teeth with hatred, and they had a calculation in their hearts, and walked forward with a smile.
In just more than ten days, a new house was completed, and everyone took the pork and dispersed.
Li Qingshan looked at his new home with satisfaction, although it was just an ordinary adobe house, covered with thatch, and he stood in a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. But this is his new home, the first step to his life in this world.
These days, he has been eating meat every day, his face has returned to ruddy, and he has a little more confidence standing there, although it has only been a dozen days of kung fu, but his figure seems to have grown a few inches out of thin air.
Just when Li Qingshan was happy, an old woman with crane hair and goosebumps paced into the yard and was startled: "Li Erlang, your house is not built well, you are a big evil! "
Li Qingshan frowned, this is the goddess who poured him talisman water when he was a child, all day long the gods pretend to be gods and ghosts, fooling these ignorant and backward villagers, he has never had a good impression of her, but she has a lot of prestige in the village, and any marriage or funeral in the village must ask her for divination, of course, when asking for divination, of course, sacrifices to honor the gods are indispensable.
Li Qingshan didn't dare to neglect it, and saluted: "Why are you here? "
The goddess didn't look at him, and looked left and right in the room: "There is yin energy and evil spirits here, but fortunately I am prepared." She held a clay pot in one hand and a willow branch in the other, dipped the willow branch in the water in the clay pot, and sprinkled it in the courtyard of the house, shouting in a mess: "Let's go, let's go...
Li Qingshan couldn't stop it, so he had to let her mess around, although he had already believed in the words of ghosts and gods, but he didn't believe that there was any yin energy here, he was followed by a real spirit, if something was really wrong, Qingniu would naturally tell him which turn to get her.
After the goddess sprinkled the water, as if she had helped Li Qingshan a lot, she babbled a lot, it was nothing more than that Li Qingshan could have this luck, it was all thanks to God's gift, and now it was time to return to God. The best thing to worship God is naturally the big pig head left by the wild boar.
Li Qingshan finally understood her intention and said, "I'm afraid it's not God who wants to eat, it's you who want to eat, right?" "
For Li Qingshan's little rudeness, the goddess was furious, and stood up and said in another voice: "Li Qingshan, if you don't listen to the advice of this god, you will have disaster." "
Li Qingshan knew that this was her trick to ask God to possess her, and when the ordinary villagers saw this trick, even the bold man was so frightened that he knelt down and bowed his head, even the original Li Qingshan did not dare to take it completely seriously, but now it is different from the past, he folded his arms and looked at it like a joke: "There is no way for blessings and misfortunes, only people call themselves, what does it have to do with God, please do it!" "
Seeing that this trick was useless, the goddess scolded and restored the original state, and said gloomily: "You wait! "
Soon after the goddess left, disaster came.
A villager came to invite Li Qingshan to the ancestral hall, although the village is small, there are many rules, and the matter of his separation from his brother should go to the ancestral hall and divide it clearly in front of the elders in the village, but he has to bring it up first, could it be that his brother actually grabbed it.
Li Qingshan faintly felt a little uneasy, but Qingniu didn't know where he had gone, so he had to bite the bullet.
The so-called ancestral hall is just a small house with a deep door opening, but it is a rare brick and stone building in the village, which enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of Li and Liu.
In the dark room, several old people were lined up on the left and right, and the leader was the village chief of Woniu Village, who was over sixty years old, his body was rickety, and he was also a member of the Li family.
Where did Mrs. Li and her wife wait, and when they saw Li Qingshan, they glared fiercely, as if Li Qingshan had harmed them, with a faint sense of revenge.
Li Qingshan ignored them, only saluted the old people, and began to separate under the auspices of the village chief.
Originally, Li Qingshan thought that his things were just a green ox and a few acres of land, but he didn't expect that it was actually much more complicated than he imagined.
The village chief had a fair and serious face, and the messy miscellaneous items were distributed to Li Qingshan, fine enough to be a spoon and a pair of chopsticks.
Every time something was said, Sister-in-law Li twitched in pain, and Li Qingshan's gaze became more and more vicious.
Li Qingshan was unmoved, calm, and those daily necessities could be used, so as not to let him buy them again.
After more than half an hour, the village chief stopped and looked around with cloudy eyes: "What are you dissatisfied with?" "
Mrs. Li and his wife were convinced, but Li Qingshan felt that something was wrong: "Grandpa, what are the other acres of land? "
"What field?"
Li Qingshan was stunned, when his parents passed away, but in front of this person, he said it clearly, that is, he was afraid that his eldest brother would bully him, and he wanted this respected old man in the village to administer justice.
Sister-in-law Li has already said: "You are young and don't know anything, and those two old things have already repaid the money they borrowed from others." "
Li Qingshan was furious: "What do you call my parents, do you say it again?" Although he didn't have a particularly deep feeling, he was also his biological parents in this life, how could he allow people to insult him wantonly in public.
Brother Li was already in front of Sister-in-law Li, and several men also walked in from outside the ancestral hall, obviously prepared.
Li Qingshan also noticed that these are all scoundrels in the village, who usually steal chickens and dogs, bully men and women, and will not talk about the friendship of fellow villagers, and will never show mercy when they start.
The village chief secretly scolded the stupid woman and sighed: "I have checked all the evidence." "
"Where is the evidence?"
Brother Li said: "We have burned it when we got it back." "
"I don't know whose money you owe?"
Sister-in-law Li said proudly: "Steward Liu in the village, if you have the courage, go up and ask for it, see that Steward Liu doesn't skin you, what's wrong, the old lady is bullying you an ungrateful little beast." Those acres of land were all fertile land, and she sold some silver, which was to make up for the debt of not eating pork, and she made up her mind to buy a chicken to eat as soon as she got home.
Li Qingshan trembled all over his body, and his nails pierced into the palm of his hand.
With his experience as a person in two lifetimes, how can he not know how to do it, how can the farmer regard the land as his life, how can he casually compensate others, and his parents have also been digging food in the soil all their lives, so how can they borrow money.
If he wants to eat and live, he can only go to Liu Guanshi Zhuangzi as a long-term worker, even if he has a lot of anger, he has to endure it, it's really easy to calculate.
Li Qingshan was treated coldly by his brother and sister-in-law at home, which was nothing more than poor food and clothing, and he could still accept it, but how could he reverse black and white like this. In his previous life, he mingled on the Internet, thinking that he had seen the dark side of society, and shouted angrily for it. But when this kind of thing fell on my own head, I realized that it was so unbearable.
If he agrees, even if he obeys the village's distribution, he will have no chance to appeal.
