Xu Xian suddenly felt Zhong Li's movements, turned around and helped her with his hand, and said: Wait for a moment and wait for me to ask clearly.
Zhong Li felt a warm current blowing by, so he couldn't help but stand up straight, looked at Xu Xian with some surprise, and nodded slightly.
Xu Xian turned his head and said: Tell me, what's going on?
Without even Xu Xian asked, the patriarch started to say it like a bamboo tube pouring beans. How clever the merchant was deceived by these honest merchants, how stupid and naive he actually believed his nonsense, and that scene happened just now.
The other townsmen responded, saying that the merchant was so hateful.
Only then did Zhong Li realize that it was the trouble caused by her appearance. After all, she lived in the mountains for a long time. Although her mind was smart, she did not understand the strangeness of these people's hearts.
The merchant struggled to defend himself, but was pressed on his head by two thick and powerful hands on the left and right, pressing him tightly on the ground. He only ate the mouthful of soil but didn't say a word.
Xu Xian heard it once and knew that there were some untrue things, he immediately understood the sinister intentions of the merchant. Even if these reckless and reckless people had any thoughts about Zhong Li, they would never show it so quickly. It was clearly the merchant who was provoking it and couldn't help but be furious. If he had made a step late, wouldn't it really make people succeed?
Xu Xian took the horse whip and whipped the merchant's back with a snap. He immediately broke the merchant's clothes and his skin was blooming. He said coldly: I have a lot to do today, and I don't have time to pay attention to you, such a villain. Please note this whip first. If you do such a bad thing again, there will be a punishment from heaven!Then he waved his hand and asked the townsmen to let go of the merchant, you go!
The merchant was so amnesty that he kowtowed a few times and said: Thank you, sir, thank you.He didn't care about dusting the soil on his body, and he rolled out of the courtyard.
The identities between them are too different, and they don’t even dare to arise for resentment and revenge, but they just think they are unlucky.
It is said that the people do not fight with officials, let alone such officials.
Xu Xian said to the townspeople: You all get up!He came to help Zhong Kui preside over the funeral, not to commit criminal law.
The townspeople looked at each other and were at a loss.
The patriarch got up from the ground and turned around and said: Sir, let you get up, you can get up!The whip just now was hit and his heart was almost to his throat, afraid that the next whip would fall on him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Xian said to the clan leader: I am ordered to do my job and I will help Zhong Kui build a temple!You go and send someone to prepare the white cloth, and then go and ask the county magistrate of this county to speak!
Ancient funerals are a very troublesome job, such as turning curses, welcoming ingredients, filling alkalis, burning buns, etc., and none of these steps are missing.
Not only do you need to prepare coffins, feasting clothes, paper money and other things, but you also need to find monks to recite scriptures and gongs and drums to prepare a banquet.
With such a lot of work, Xu Xian couldn't be busy and didn't have to be busy.
Now he is in charge of the order, and he must rely on the local manpower and material resources. When the county magistrate comes, he will ask him to handle the matter as appropriate.
Xu Xian lowered his head and thought for a while, and dozens of eyes looked at him quietly. He was as gentle as a lamb, as if he was slaughtered and could bear it silently. The people's fear of officials is the same, even if they are promoting the modern era of equality for everyone.
Not to mention in this ancient era where class status is emphasized.
It is impossible to say that it is this attitude that has created many officials of tigers and wolves, treating the people as fish.
In those remote places where barbarians are located, although there is a bad reputation for poor mountains and rivers, no one dares to do anything wrong after the officials go.
If you are angry, no matter what county magistrate you are, you will give you a red knife and a white knife, so you can only go to the King of Hell to reason.
The one who obeys the people and is slaughtered by others, and the one who is unreasonable and unreasonable is the one who is better or worse, an individual has his own distinction.
What I fear most is that I don’t want to be a follower and will be a troublemaker.
Xu Xian raised his head and was sure there was nothing else. The dozens of heads were quickly lowered and did not dare to look directly at him.
Xu Xian waved his hand and said: Remember what I told you, well, it’s all gone!
The townsmen left the courtyard sparsely. The clan leader wanted to go forward and get close to Xu Xian. After hesitating for a while, he chose to retreat with others.
The courtyard suddenly became empty, leaving only Xu Xian and Zhong Li.
Hyuga West Side, Takekage Pickup.
Xu Xian turned around and wanted to say something a step closer.
Zhong Li quickly took a step back and his hands were tightly tucked together.
A lonely man and a widow are always the most difficult to get along with.
But I was always grateful to think that the man in front of me fell from the sky, solved her dilemma, and helped Zhong Kui preside over the funeral.
However, from the situation just now, he was clearly a big official, and for a moment he didn't know what attitude he should use to face him, his benefactor, his brother's friend, or Lord Shangguan.
What's more, her words were very concerned about your brother asking me to take care of you.
Although Zhong Li had a lot to ask Xu Xian, he instinctively could not speak easily with the reserve and alertness of a girl when she saw a strange man.
Xu Xian muttered in his heart, why is Yun Yan so slow?He spoke: I wonder if the girl’s name is respected?
Zhong Li hurriedly said: The little girl’s name is Zhong Li, I dare to ask... the young master’s surname is the name!She originally wanted to call Xu Xian an adult, but she really couldn't overlap the images of Mr. Shangguan in her mind, and she still called him a young master. She looked at Xu Xian carefully, and guess he wouldn't be angry!
Xu Xiandao: My surname is Xu, my name is Xian, and my character is Chinese.
Zhong Li was stunned, Xu Xian and Xu Hanwen?
I seem to have heard it somewhere.
But her mind is now in a mess and she has no time to think about such a thing.
Instead, he hurriedly asked: My brother, my brother, he is really...?
Xu Xian nodded heavily, took out a small porcelain altar from the bag on the horse's back, and said: This is his ashes!
He felt a little weird because he knew that Zhong Kui was still alive in this world now. Although it was a different way, he was probably more comfortable than humans.
The ashes in my hand are not much different from carbon ash. It's really no big deal, but for strangers, it also holds a heavy meaning.
Zhong Li took the porcelain altar with his hands tremblingly and hugged it in his arms. His crystal tears kept spinning in his eyes, but he refused to fall easily.Suddenly he ran into the bamboo house, and then there was a sob that was extremely depressing.
Xu Xian suddenly didn't know what to do, if Zhong Kui was really just dead.
He should let Zhong Li cry happily at this moment, but he also knew that Zhong Kui was not dead at all, and crying like this was just a vain harm to his body.
But he couldn't break into the woman's boudoir and looked at the path outside the yard for a while, but still no Yun Yan's arrival was seen.
Xu Xian shook his head and turned into the room.
The cottage filled with bamboo fragrance is simple and neatly arranged, and the utensils are all made of bamboo and wood.
But in this girl's boudoir, there was not even a bronze mirror.
A loom was quietly placed in the corner of the room, with a piece of woven cloth on it, and the delicate patterns on it showed the girl's ingenuity.
Zhong Li fell on the bed, buried his face in the quilt, shaking his shoulders and trembling, and a thin sob came.
Xu Xian called out softly: Miss Zhong, Miss Zhong!
But Zhong Li was still in grief and had no response to the things around him.
Xu Xian patted her shoulder gently, and Zhong Li suddenly reacted, sat up and leaned on the bed with the quilt in his arms, looking at Xu Xian with some caution. The pear blossoms were covered with rain and tears were really a pity.
Xu Xian touched his nose and should have said something about mercy and change at this time, but he could only say: Miss Zhong, you really don’t have to be too sad. Although your brother seems to be dead, it can’t be considered dead.
Zhong Li said: Mr. Xu, tell me, how is my brother doing?
Xu Xian said: Your brother has become a ghost.
That's dead yet!Zhong Li bit his lip and tears fell down again.Mr. Xu, it is not convenient for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room. Please go out!
Xu Xian smiled bitterly in his heart and blamed Zhong Kui a little. Judging from your appearance as a good brother, why don’t you know to come back and see your sister first.
I can only reluctantly explain: Your brother Zhong Kui is the reincarnation of Kui Xing. After his death, the heroic spirit will not disperse. As long as you practice a little, you can be ranked in the immortal class and be worshipped by thousands of people.I have seen his soul in the capital. He said he would go back to Zhongnan Mountain first, but I don’t know why he hasn’t arrived yet!
Zhong Li shook his head, saying that he could not understand at all, and looked at Xu Xian with a strange look.
Xu Xian could understand her mood very well. If she encountered such a thing, if a divine guy said this, he would probably have the urge to take action.
But no matter how he explained, it would be difficult for her to agree with it without Zhong Kui's presence.
Xu Xian put his hands on her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: I just want you to understand that your brother is very good now, and there is no need to be sad for him.You will understand when he comes back. Do you believe me?
Zhong Li looked at Xu Xian's sincere eyes and nodded involuntarily. Suddenly, he could understand the meaning of what Xu Xian said, and suddenly he understood that he was worried about himself.
Xu Xian was also very satisfied. Sure enough, as long as he expressed his thoughts sincerely, others would definitely understand them.
Mr. Xu.
Um?
Zhong Li turned his head away, and a hint of blush rose onto his cheeks. Please take your hand away?
Husband, you...you... It turns out that at some point Yun Yan had arrived on her pony and was watching this scene from outside the window full of surprise. Zhong Li hugged on the bed with the quilt in his arms. Xu Xian leaned forward and placed his hands on her shoulders.
How can this situation not make people think about it?
Xu Xian quickly let go of his hand and coughed twice and said: Yan'er, you misunderstood!
Zhong Li jumped out of bed like a frightened deer and hid in another corner of the house.
I haven't said anything yet!
Zhong Li felt a warm current blowing by, so he couldn't help but stand up straight, looked at Xu Xian with some surprise, and nodded slightly.
Xu Xian turned his head and said: Tell me, what's going on?
Without even Xu Xian asked, the patriarch started to say it like a bamboo tube pouring beans. How clever the merchant was deceived by these honest merchants, how stupid and naive he actually believed his nonsense, and that scene happened just now.
