I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

Matters related to military farming began under the orderly command of many busy officials.

To support these decisions.

Yang Wei even directly opened the granary in the Yinting warehouse, organized cattle and horses, formed several huge food delivery teams, and set up a series of stoves.

After all, these ghosts still need to eat before the crops are harvested.

In the morning, countless ghosts came in a mighty procession, carrying familiar farm tools, and rushed to the areas they were responsible for cultivating.

Following the orders of their leading ghosts, countless living ghosts started digging on the spot.

For a moment, the sound of flying soil and swinging hoes came one after another.

West side of Qiuyun Mountain.

After Xu An arranged the ghosts to be responsible for the area to be reclaimed.

He also summoned a group of living ghosts, and they began to move stones, dig soil, and build a reservoir according to the terrain.

This directly determines how the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land under his jurisdiction will be irrigated in the future, so he cannot be careless.

He needs to supervise it personally!

Everything seems to be in order.

But it wasn't long before the problem came to light.

At this moment, Xu An was squatting on the slope, watching the reservoir he had estimated was getting bigger and deeper.

The ghost standing in the middle of the digging gradually moved from the flat ground to where his ankles and calves were invisible.

He estimated that the entire reservoir should be able to store enough water in another three to five days.

Just as I was thinking about it, a ghost suddenly ran over from behind and shouted:

"It's not good, Master Xu."

"What's the matter?"

Xu An turned his head and looked at him in a hurry, feeling a little puzzled.

"In the field over there, there were two stupid ghosts. They dug up some rocks and threw them into the field of the other ghosts. The ghosts were not happy and cursed at them, and then a fight broke out!"

The ghost who came over spoke very quickly and concisely, explaining the cause and effect of the problem in just a few sentences.

"Can this also start a fight?"

Xu An couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He quickly stood up and went to see.

When he arrived at the scene, he found four or five living ghosts fighting with each other.

I don’t know if it was a ghost throwing stones, but someone was riding on it.

It was a swearing ghost, and was knocked to the ground.

Anyway, I witnessed it with my own eyes: hair pulling, throat choking, and crotch grabbing.

The scene was chaotic, like a few children fighting.

The ghosts watching nearby not only did not try to dissuade him, but also cheered, looking like they were enjoying the fun and not minding any trouble.

"Stop it all!"

Seeing that they are fighting, who knows what will happen.

Xu An roared, and with the help of his innate cultivation, the powerful magical pressure made all the ghosts watching the fun tremble.

When they discovered Xu An coming, they immediately shut up and made way for him.

"Master Xu."

The ghosts who were fighting got up with bruised faces and noses, their eyes avoiding him, standing where they were, a little afraid to look at him.

"I told you to come and farm, but you're fighting among yourselves. Are you itching for trouble?"

Xu An looked at the deterrent effect and glanced at these ghosts. He found that every one of them dared to look at him at this time, and they all lowered their heads and pretended to be innocent.

The fighting ghost was dissatisfied and turned his head to hum, then could not help but say:

"Sir, it was clearly this son of a bitch who dug up stones and threw them into the fields I was cultivating. He's such a jerk! He started getting violent just because I said a few words to him!"

The stone thrower got anxious when he heard this and started to curse back:

"Bullshit, if you weren't cursing like that, would I have hit you?"

"Who are you scolding? Watch your mouth!"

"I just scolded you, what can I do?"

After saying these two sentences, these ghosts started arguing again in front of Xu An and almost started fighting again.

"enough!"

Xu An shouted loudly, scaring the ghosts into silence, and then he exhaled a long breath from his nose.

These ghosts are really simple and unpretentious. They can fight over such a small matter...

After thinking about it, he arranged:

"From now on, tell all the ghosts working in the farming fields not to throw away the stones they dig. Instead, gather them in one place and move them to the reservoir later to use in building the dam."

"If I see you fighting over something like this, I'll give you both fifty lashes, regardless of whether you're right or wrong. Do you understand?"

A group of living ghosts nodded in agreement, saying that they heard it.

"Continue farming."

After resolving this incident, Xu An looked out over the surrounding area, watching the moist soil being turned over.

In his plan, different crops will be grown in dry fields and paddy fields.

What is being done here now is the initial reclamation.

The roots of weeds need to be broken up, the soil needs to be loosened further, and the gravel in the soil needs to be picked out before ridges can be made for planting vegetables.

"Sir, it's not good!"

Before Xu An could imagine that this place would become a lush green vegetable field, a ghost with a pale face came running behind him.

He ran very fast, his face full of horror and his voice trembling.

"what happened again?"

Xu An found that he suddenly turned into Yang Wei's appearance. He began to feel overwhelmed and felt as if there were endless things waiting for him to deal with.

This isn't right. Didn't he assign responsible people to each area when he was making the plan?

Who are you?

What's the matter again?

"Sir, we've dug something out!"

Seeing Xu An's somewhat impatient look, Lai Gui quickly stopped and explained loudly.

"Dug out what?"

If it was still a problem with the stone, Xu An would have wanted to kick him twice.

"It's bones! There are human bones in the soil!"

The ghost swallowed his saliva, as if afraid that Xu An wouldn't believe him, and gestured with his hands.

"How fresh are the bones?"

Xu An rolled his eyes wildly. It’s not like there are only ghosts in the underworld. There are also indigenous wild animals here!

Even if bones are dug up, isn't that normal?

Didn’t you see that the chief clerk of Yangzhou turned into a horse by the bank of the Styx?

The broken bones under the ground emerged faster than eels!

"But sir, the bones are fresh and stained with blood. We dug a few more times and even dug out some flesh. This is clearly the body of a living person!"

It seems that Xu An didn’t understand his own consciousness.

The ghost was almost going crazy, talking and gesturing.

After he finished speaking with a bitter face, he finally saw the adult's expression change.

Not only did his expression change, but Xu An's heart was almost lifted up.

No, it's normal for you to dig up animal bones.

It's understandable that you dug out a living ghost.

But this is the underworld, where did the living corpses come from?

At this moment, Xu An's mood was just like when countless wandering souls saw Mu Linjiang on the Ten Mile Ghost Road in front of Yangzhou City. It was filled with complicated emotions...

Following the ghost, the two people arrived quickly, and Xu An immediately saw a large group of ghosts in front of him, forming a circle, with their butts sticking out, standing on the earthen ridge to watch what was dug out.

"Master Xu is here!"

The ghost led the way in front, shouting loudly, and the group of ghosts immediately turned around and made way for Xu An.

Stepping on the pile of earth, Xu An, like them, leaned over to take a look, and his pupils suddenly constricted!
