Old Gong always wants to feed me fat

Sibyl State.

Another group of repair soldiers flew over in the sky, drawing a radiant arc of light.

Hu Liao stopped pounding the medicine pestle, staring blankly at the tail light gradually fainting and dissipating.The flying direction of Xiubing was Wenjin County. He had known for a long time that the situation in Wenjin County was not good, but tens of thousands of Xiubing flew to Wenjin County in a day, which proved that the problem was much more serious.

People in Sibi State were panicked.

"What are you looking at!" the overseer roared, which made him shiver in fright, and continued to pound the rose vanilla in the urn with all his strength. The more the vanilla was pounded, the finer it was, and the more complex and mysterious the aroma it emitted.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Cangdoushan, and the overseer of the Huang family drove him away without hesitation, not even counting his wages.In his rage, he almost fought against the supervisor, but of course he lost, a pack of wolves could not be stopped by a hero.

Forced to earn a living, he transferred to another vanilla merchant's workshop to sell as a coolie. He had to grind hundreds of catties of vanilla ingredients every day, which made people want to vomit.

Going on and on, Hu Liao heard the supervisor walking away, talked to the manager, and worriedly said that Ningshang's mansion was surrounded, and he didn't know what happened to the boss, whether he wanted to run away with the money or something.The supervisor yelled at the supervisor in a low voice, asking him to work hard and not to think about what is there or what is not.

"Shang Ning's Mansion is as solid as gold, and it is the imperial court's big granary. It is impossible for the imperial court to ignore the death of Ning Shang's Mansion. You, work hard, don't talk about it in the future."

The overseer kept saying yes, and when the supervisor walked away, he whispered: "The imperial court has a fart!"

Hu Liao's heart moved, he remembered the days in Huxianju, he and Cangdoushan dug the granary together, and later Boss Huang sent a storage bag, the granary was settled, but the dug hole was not filled immediately flat.Instead, it was modified and turned into a narrow vertical hole.

The owner next to Huxianju put up a sign that this house is for sale at the door. He had seen Weisheng having a lively chat with that merchant. When he walked in, he heard that they seemed to be bargaining.

The situation in Wenjin County is critical, and Ningshang's Mansion is not much better. What if the rebels capture Ningshang's Mansion and the boss dies...

This urn of roses and herbs was smashed and replaced with a new urn.Hu Li moved his arms and legs, and just as he raised the pestle, a worker rushed into the workshop: "Hu Li, your old man was beaten to death!"

Hu Li turned his head and opened his mouth wide: "Who?"

"Your old man is dead, and the body is over there at the pier."

Hu dazed for a long time, the person next to him pushed him: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and collect the corpse, or you will be caught by wild dogs if you are late."

Hu Li's ears were buzzing, he numbly stepped forward, threw down the pestle and ran towards the banana leaf pier.

Banana Leaf Wharf is the only way for vanilla goods in Sibi Prefecture to be transported by water. A few days ago, the government suddenly blocked the water route. The busy Banana Leaf Wharf became deserted overnight. Only a few fishing boats docked in the The blessing banners by the river were rattling by the wind.Hu Liao saw a person lying on the pier road from a distance, with a big dark red blood under his body.

He ran over wildly, the old man's eyes were bulging, and there were three side-by-side round holes on his forehead, piercing his skull, and all the blood flowed out.

Can't die anymore.

He couldn't hear anything, and stood beside the corpse in a daze, unable to cry.

what happened?Isn't he very strong?How could it be so easy to die?This is fake, right?

He stood there blankly for a while, touching his neck, it was so cold that it couldn't be colder, dragged the old man's body, where to go?He thought about it for a long time, and remembered that there was a yizhuang near here. Next to the yizhuang, there were people who made wreaths, coffins, paper men, and sold paper money. If any fisherman at the banana leaf wharf drowned or left due to an accident, he could go there and get it done. everything.

He carried the corpse to Yizhuang, and the staff of Yizhuang brought the wooden bed and asked him to put the corpse on it, and fetched water to wash the remains. As soon as the corpse was put on the bed, a staff member shouted: "Oh, this is not a fish. Did it come out with a fork?"

The old man came over to take a look, and turned his head: "The three-toothed harpoon pierces a person's head with one fork. It's quite powerful."

The dazed Hu Liao finally regained consciousness and asked, "Master, do you know?"

"Who else would do this except Tengshetang. But, this man is mortal, and there are some things we can't care about." He wiped the back of the old man's head with a wet towel, and cut off the blood-soaked clothes. Damn, there are people in the government, and they can only swallow their anger when they beat someone to death. Have you offended someone? As long as Tengshetang pays enough court fees, it is generally not too embarrassing, um...except for the fish ghost, he He likes to drink and likes to use a harpoon, he probably did it."

Tengshetang, fish ghost.Hu suddenly remembered all kinds of things about them.

Tengshetang is the king of Jiaoye Wharf, all the merchants who park in and out of the wharf have to pay them a wharf fee.The fish ghost is also the most famous, he was born as a fisherman, he entered the Dao realm, he is the strongest thug in Tengshetang, he likes to drink strong alcohol, and when he gets drunk, he will fly like a dog, and people and gods will avoid him.

The guys wiped off the blood on the old man's body, and put on shrouds one by one. The red and fat shrouds wrapped around the old man's skinny body, making him look even bigger.

The old man combed the old man's hair and tried his best to cover the three holes on his head.The four assistants lifted the old man together, put them into the coffin, nailed the nails on them, skillfully placed the incense table and melons and fruits, put on the filial piety hat for him without saying a word, asked him to pay homage, and burned some paper money.A Taoist came out and beat the cymbals, chanted mantras, sang three times around the coffin, and then removed the incense table, ready to be buried.

All forms of poverty for the poor are simple, and the efficiency of the Yizhuang is very high. The money is paid on the same day and the burial is done on the same day.

Hu Liao returned to the workshop in a daze. Seeing him coming back, the supervisor scolded him, disturbing him.

The old man died suddenly, and he suddenly felt that the world had become empty, and he was dazed and sleepwalking for a few days, when the news that Ningshang Mansion was breached, the whole Xibi Prefecture was in chaos.

The supervisor and the supervisor got into a fight, and the other party rolled around on the ground several times with a bruised nose and swollen face. A large group of workers gathered around to watch the excitement.Hu Liao took advantage of their fight and sneaked into the manager's account room.

The accounting room is in a mess. It seems that the supervisor and the manager have already had a fight here. Hu Li stepped on the ledger carefully, ran to the bookshelf, touched the back of the book, and found a lot of books.

In addition, Hu Li also took out a lot of storage bags from the back of the book, with labels on the bags, which were all the vanilla ingredients they had pounded before.Originally, as soon as these were done, they would be given to the next family, but the boss died, and even the next family might also die.

He searched hard for a long time, found a bulging money bag, picked out the wages he deserved, and stuffed it into his arms.He returned to his place of residence as quickly as possible, quickly packed his things, jumped over the wall and escaped.

People in Sibyl State are crazy.

Sibi Prefecture is rich in vanilla, and [-]% of the people in the prefecture are engaged in vanilla-related industries. However, the boss of the vanilla merchant was almost eliminated in Ningshang Mansion, and the blow to Sibi Prefecture was devastating.

The boats moored at the Jiaoye Wharf caught fire, and a dead body lay on both sides of the road, its posture twisted and its limbs and joints all broken.Someone was robbing, smashing up shops, cursing those vanilla dealers.Hu Liao walked faster and faster, and the chaotic and confused mood of the past was swept away. Inexplicably, he liked this crazy atmosphere very much.

The world is crazy.

Xiubing was dispatched, and anyone who vandalized, looted, and burned people would be killed.And Hu Lie was just an ordinary person holding his belongings, walking swaggeringly in the chaotic streets, no one cared about him.

The government's military repairs were not enough to maintain order in the whole state, and the people from Tengshetang joined in the robbing in an upright manner, and went door-to-door to demand additional protection fees.

Hu Li saw the fish ghost.

Even if he had only heard of the notoriety that he could stop children from crying at night, he could still guess at a glance that it was him.

He was very fierce, and he was holding a shiny eight-toothed harpoon in his hand. The fork teeth were sharpened, which made people frightened, and a bulging cowhide wine bag was hung on his waist.

He saw with his own eyes that he plunged a harpoon into a man's face, and the man fell down, stabbing six and a half holes in his face, and bleeding all over the place.

He looked disgusted.

But the fish ghost laughed loudly, took off his skin and drank a big gulp of wine.

He walked away quickly, thinking about how to kill him.

Must kill him.

He thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to deal with the fish ghost's harpoon.His harpoon is too scary, it's not a harpoon used by ordinary fishermen, but a real magic weapon, and he doesn't have any magic weapon.

He thought a lot about weapons, knives, guns?sword?It was too late, he had no money to buy it, and no one was selling it now, he was so anxious that he wanted to cry.

He burned paper to the old man, begging him to help him.

The flames licked up the paper money, and no miracle happened.

He lowered his head, and suddenly tears flowed down, and he cried aloud.

For the first time since the old man's death he cried, and it was heartbreaking.So desperate, there is no way, there is no way at all.He was cornered, and he thought of death.

When he was crying with snot and tears, a person came behind him. He thought it was Xiu Bing who was rectifying order, but when he looked back, it was not.

A thin man in a gray cloak, as thin as a handful of bones, but with piercing eyes.

"What are you crying for?"

Hu Li opened his mouth, and couldn't help but shed tears, like a kid who hasn't grown up, and couldn't stop it.

It's so embarrassing.He wiped his tears and couldn't say a word.

"Do you want revenge? I can help you."

A miracle happened, and Hu Li finally wiped away his tears: "How can you help me?"

The skinny man said: "I will help you on conditional basis."

Hu shuddered.

"I want one thing, in the hands of your old boss. A pottery bowl with seventeen stars on it, called Baiyun Shiqibo."

The old club... Hu was in a daze for a while: "Which club are you talking about?"

"Old club." The thin man repeated, "I only need that. I can help you first, and you can help me get the seven bowls later, but you will have to give it to me sooner or later."

"Then... well, I promise you."
