A Clash of Gods Chapter 81: Mountain beast
Yang Ning, a young teenager, looks like: "A lot of times, what you hear in your ears is far less than what you see with your eyes. Although sometimes what your eyes see is not necessarily true, it’s better than what you hear. Yes. We are far away in Beijing, and we have heard about the situation in Fengyi from other populations. Since we are here, our own eyes are always more accurate than hearing it directly from our old house."
Gu Qinghan couldn't help but nod: "Ning'er was right, but I blamed me for negligence. If it were not for you, I would still be kept in the dark." Mei Pu angered: "Tomorrow I will ask the general manager, Jiangling. Why did it become like this?" Suddenly thought of something, the beautiful eyes turned slightly, looked at Yang Ning with a smile, and asked, "Ning Er, I ask you, where did you learn your skills?"
"What skill?"
"Don’t pretend to be confused with me." Gu Qinghan didn't have a good air: "Who taught you the martial arts? Will it always be Duan Canghai's private professor?"
Yang Ning is most afraid of Gu Qinghan asking these questions, and can only vaguely say: "I was born in Wumen, and it’s no big deal to work hard."
"But why don't I know?" Gu Qinghan frowned: "I asked you to follow the martial arts guards of Hou House to practice martial arts a few years ago, but you don't care, why do you have martial arts now?"
Yang Ning is thinking about how to give Gu Qinghan a reasonable explanation. After all, a woman like Gu Qinghan is not easy to deceive. Just at this time, Han Yi has come to invite him to eat, which is a relief for Yang Ning.
The rules in this village are that when foreigners arrive, women can’t go to the table. Fortunately, Gu Qinghan is in a men’s clothing and is also seated. The farmer’s meal is naturally not too particular, and the table has a table full of dishes, Han Yi is even more I invited several prestigious people in the village to accompany me.
At the dinner table, I would like to express my gratitude to Yang Ning. The wine I drank was rice wine made in the village.
Everyone has seen Yang Ning's skill, and the table is naturally praised. Mentioned Luo Guanshi and others. Several people felt that Luo Guanshi would definitely not take a break.
"You can rest assured that Luo Guanshi can't be arrogant for a few days." Yang Ning sneered: "I heard that Jinyihou Mansion has sent people to Jiangling. At that time, as long as what happened here is reported, there are good fruits of Luo Guanshi's affairs. Eat."
Han Yi shook his head and said, "Little brother, even if Jinyi Hou Man really comes down, will he still make the decision for us? Luo Guanshi is the servant of the Qi family, and he will never be because of our poor people in the future. , Hands on your own servants."
Gu Qinghan said aloud: "Han Yi, as I said before, the Qi family is not the gateway to the strong and the weak. Jin Yihou will never know what happened here, and if he knew it earlier, it would not develop into the present. It looks like this."
Han Yi saw Gu Qinghan speak three times for Jin Yihou several times, and his words were affirmed, and his heart was strange. At this time, he finally asked: "Why are you so sure? Luo Guanshi said that I did not make a mistake. There was no Qi family. They don’t dare to be unscrupulous here without permission."
"Han Yi, you are the land in this village, you pay to the Qi family every year, but you send it over in person?" Gu Qinghan asked.
Han Yi nodded and said: "Exactly. Our fields have a certain amount of grain production. As long as there is no natural disaster or human disaster, there is a fixed harvest every year." After a pause, we continued: "Every year we will respond The paid food is delivered to the old house of the Qi family, and the inventory is checked."
"As far as I know, the tax in charge of Jiangling Fengyi is the chief executive of the old house of the Qi family." Gu Qinghan said: "I heard from you that Jinyihou now collects 40% as a tax in Fengyi. Is it 20%? This has suddenly increased so much, but the Chief Executive personally told you?"
"General Manager Qi?" Han Yi looked at Gu Qinghan suspiciously and asked, "Do you know General Manager Qi?" But he thought in his mind that this man defended Jin Yihou twice and repeatedly, and the tax on Jiangling and The general manager of the Qi family seems to know very well. Is it possible that these two people have a connection with Jinyi Hou?
Although the Qi family’s old house is managed by the general manager, this is not a well-known thing. For most people, all they have to do is sunrise and sunset, and pay their food on time. No matter who is in charge of the Qi family, no one is worried. Han Yi is a locality. He brings people to deliver food every year. It is natural to understand the existence of the chief executive.
Because he suspected that Gu Qinghan had a relationship with the Qi family, he spoke carefully.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a scream from outside: "I found it, I found it, and the beast with the chicken was found, and I hid on the mountain."
The sound was very harsh, but Han Yi had already got up, and several others also got up one after another. Han Yi said to Yang Ning: "The two eat first, we have something to do." Several people also went out, leaving only two old men.
Yang Ning heard a noisy outside and couldn’t help but ask, "What happened? What did you find?"
"The beast with a chicken." An old man said: "In recent days, the chickens in the village have been lost for no reason. There have been dozens of them before and after. There are no beasts on the mountain, and the jackals are not seen. However, at first I thought it was someone who stole the chicken. A few days ago, someone sent a vigil to hide in the dark to see what was going on. That night I finally saw a shadow entering the chicken shed, so a group of people were going to catch it Up, who knew that the beast was running fast, and everyone didn’t know whether it was a jackal or a wild dog.” After taking a sip of wine, he continued: “The beast has black hair, and the guy can’t keep up with it, and come back. Some people say that the animal runs faster than a rabbit, and others say that the animal runs on only two hind legs, like a human."
"Ah?" Yang Ning stunned. "It only takes two to run backwards?" I thought this was strange. As far as he knows, there are not many animals that can stand on two hind legs in nature, but As the old man said, the beast is very fast, and Zuo Siyou thinks, an animal that can run on two legs like a human and is very fast is extremely rare, and the secret is not the ape.
"That's a look." Another old man on the side has said: "I have lived for most of my life, but I haven't heard of any animal that can run on two legs."
"That's not true." The old man argued before: "Several people saw it, and it didn't take Chengdu's eyes." He said to Yang Ning again: "After a few days, the animal touched the village again. This Once the guys were ready, they were still run by the beast. Fortunately, they all saw that the beast ran into Houshan. The young villagers in the village searched for a whole day in Houshan and found no trace, so big Even a mountain cannot be searched little by little."
Yang Ning asked: "There are no beasts in Houshan?"
"In the early years, there were wild jackals and wild boars, but in the disaster year, the villagers all went to the mountains to hunt and fill their stomachs. This mountain is also said to be small, but it is not too big. The wild in the mountains The things have been destroyed for a long time. Over the past ten years or so, no wild animals have been found on the mountain. They are nothing more than snakes, worms, and ants.” The old man explained: “So the animal that suddenly came down with a chicken in the mountains, everyone can’t. Let go, there are not many chickens in the village, and they are like baby. This time, a dozen of them were stolen by the beast, but they are distressed. If they are not removed, I am afraid that the cattle and sheep in the village will not be able to keep them in the future. Now."
Yang Ning has come to great interest at this time, and said to Gu Qinghan: "Three... Brother, you are waiting here, I will go as soon as I go."
Gu Qinghan wanted to stop, Yang Ning ran faster than the rabbit, and rushed out of the door in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the village head has gathered more than 20 young and strong men, lit five or six torches, and only one person was excitedly saying to Han Yi: "This time the beast cannot go, we ambush people under the mountain, Seeing it enter the mountain, it secretly kept up with it. The beast thought that it would be fine to enter the mountain. We might as well be stared at. Now that we have found its nest, it is in a cave in the mountain. , Definitely can't run."
Han Yi said: "The young and strong follow me up the mountain, the beast is fast, one can run carelessly, we are surrounded by death, see where it can drill." With a wave of hand, led a group of people around Behind the village, the path went back to the mountain. The villagers had **** picks and wooden sticks.
Yang Ning wondered what the rare animal was. He was curious and followed the crowd.
A group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the reporter reportedly led the way. Although the back mountain was not high, it was rugged~ IndoMTL.com~ The mountain was covered with old vines and old trees. The people scattered and walked for a while. On the mountainside, just listen to the loud voice leading the way: "It's there."
Close to the past, I saw that there were three people waiting here, and when I saw the villagers coming, one person was already excited: "Just in the cave, we are here, and the beast hasn't dared to come out."
Yang Ning stepped forward and saw that a rather steep mountain wall was covered by dead vine branches, and the middle of the dead vine was ripped apart, revealing a dark lacquered hole. , Without any sound.
"Is there any other hole, wouldn't I run out of the other hole?" Han Yi looked up at the hole and couldn't hear a sigh of noise, he couldn't help doubting.
"We have checked nearby, and this hole is a dead hole." The person who guarded the hole immediately said: "We just dropped a few stones in it and heard a cry." Crouching down, Picking up a stone with a big fist, and smashing it into the hole, he heard a strange cry of "Woo", and the man smiled and said, "You hear it, it's inside."
"Find some dry firewood." Han Yi has a lot of experience. "Burning a fire at the entrance of the cave, and the animal inside can't stand the smoke, it will run out of it."
Many people have great strength. Just a moment, a pile of dry wood piled up in the hole. Han Yi commanded: "Everyone is in two circles, the beast is very fierce. Don't be injured after you come out, But it won’t let it run.” He took a torch and lit the pile of dry wood in front of the hole.
