287. Past events in Lincheng(1/2)

The Qian family all looked at the thin man.

The man quickly waved his hand.

Wang Lin pulled out a box gun and pointed it at him and shouted: "If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you!"

"Get out!" Wang Tianba kicked him away. Everyone in the town knew what he was, and no one was afraid even if he held a cannon in his arms.

But Wang Tianba is different.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, Er Qiangzi said hurriedly: "No, no, no. I said it all. It just rained that day and I went to the mountain to touch monkeys. I ended up touching the Qian family's graveyard - Mr. Qian, don't be like this."

Look at me, I didn’t mean it..."

"Keep talking!" Wang Youde shouted impatiently.

Er Qiangzi said with a sad face: "It just rained that day, and then I went to the cemetery and found some puddles, and there were toads croaking in the puddles."

"I was so scared at the time that I wanted to run away. After all, I was at the ancestral gravesite of the Qian family and I couldn't stay there for a long time. I just wanted to leave quickly..."

"Fart!" Wang Youde kicked him, "How long have you been talking nonsense to the mayor?"

Erqiangzi said sarcastically: "I, I heard the crow of a toad, so I wanted to catch the toad. The toad's legs are delicious when burned."

"Catching toads in my ancestral grave?" Qian Manjiang roared unbearably.

Wang Tianba said impatiently: "Is this the point? Shut up and keep talking!"

Er Qiangzi lowered his head and said, "There's not much to say. I was going to catch toads, but after entering the cemetery, the sound of toads suddenly stopped. I thought it was because I was scared, but I searched carefully and found that there were no toads here.

There is someone!"

"I was very surprised, who was snatching my toad? I shouted to it, but it turned around and I saw a toad stuffed in its mouth, and the toad's legs were still kicking up!"

"Who eats toads raw? I immediately knew something was wrong, so I ran away..."

"Then what does it look like?" Wang Tianba asked.

Er Qiangzi said: "I didn't pay attention. It had disheveled hair and both sides of its face were covered. I saw it was eating a toad in its mouth. I was so frightened that I just ran around without thinking.

.”

Wang Tianba whipped him with a riding crop: "You bastard, you are such a bastard!"

Er Qiangzi covered his face and screamed.

Wang Youde stopped him and said, "Commander, please calm down first and then listen to what others say."

Another man murmured: "I, I herd cattle, and the grass on the mountains began to wither during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I..."

"Big Shuanzi, don't you fart, why does the grass wither during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Wang Lin scolded.

Da Shuanzi said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what Commander Wang said is true, but the grass in the place where I often went was withered, so I had to look for good grass, but there was no way. Sir, I still have Mr. Qian, I

The whole family depends on cows for food, so I have to let the cows have enough food, right?"

Wang Tianba swung his riding whip impatiently.

Da Shuanzi spoke faster: "I took the cow and looked for it, and accidentally got close to the Qian family's ancestral grave."

When the Qian family heard this, they were immediately furious.

Qian Quanxing glared at him fiercely and said, "You bastard, you took the cows to graze because you took care of the grass around my ancestral grave, right?"

Wang Youde said: "Master Qian, let him continue talking. What he wants to say is more important than cows eating grass."

Da Shuanzi sighed and said: "Master Qian, please don't get angry. I had no choice but to drive the cow to your cemetery to graze. The cow was pregnant with her calf and was about to give birth. I had to give it more nutrition."

"I offended your Qian family by doing this, and I received retribution - coincidentally, my cow gave birth to a calf that day."

"I thought about finding some water for it to relax, but I just took a wooden basin to find a puddle to scoop out water, and then I heard the cow lowing."

"I hurried over to take a look and saw someone dragging away the newborn calf and tearing it apart under the shade of a tree!"

"The head and face are covered with blood, and the body is covered with blood! It's not a person, and I don't know what it is. It, it, it chewed up a calf!"

Qian Quanxing said angrily: "Why didn't you say anything about this when you came back?"

Da Shuanzi said weakly: "I dare not say that I went to your ancestral grave to graze cattle and saw red on your ancestral grave. How could I dare to reveal this?"

Two more things were told by the people in the town, both of which were strange, pointing directly at the ancestral graves of the Qian family.

The Qian family naturally refused to take the blame.

As usual, Qian Manjiang, a young and energetic man, fired first, waving his hand and shouting angrily: "Stop taking the shit out of my house. These things are all just one-sided, and I don't deny it!"

Wang Youde's expression changed slightly, and he said to Qian Quanxing: "Mr. Qian, you know that the mayor of this town has always respected your Qian family, because although your Qian family is a big family in our old town, they never act arrogantly, let alone bully others."

"Furthermore, Mr. Qian, you are a sensible and considerate person, right? Am I right about what I said?"

Just as Qian Quanxing was about to speak, Wang Youde continued:

"Mr. Qian, we have experienced drought in Yunqishan. You should remember what happened in the mountain twenty-four years ago. That year, not a drop of water fell. How many rivers and lakes dried up? There is only the Milky Way in our town.

This way, people and animals are not dying of thirst."

"But what about other places? Especially in mountain villages, how many people died of thirst? How many people died of starvation when the crops failed?"

"It was that winter that the Anshan bandits broke out in the mountains. In the following years, the Anshan bandits continued to cause trouble. How many people died under their butcher knives?"

At this point, he looked at the people in the town who came after hearing the news and shouted: "If there is another drought this year, the situation will only be worse than last year!"

"I don't know how many people will be able to survive in this town by then. What's the use of us surviving? Are there people in the county and other villages? We all have our relatives and friends..."

The people nodded one after another.

Public opinion was stirred up.

At this time, Wang Lin pumped his fist and shouted: "Everyone shout with me, knock down..."

As soon as he spoke, Wang Tianba kicked him and staggered him two steps. This stunned him and he shouted: "Uncle, what's wrong with me?"

Wang Tianba shouted with a sullen face: "What did you say? Who do you want to defeat?"

"The dry bone pile." Wang Lin subconsciously said, "Can't we knock down the dry bone pile?"

Wang Tianba fell silent.

His adjutant tried to smooth things over and said, "The commander-in-chief has misunderstood. Recently, students have been shouting in the city, 'Down with Commander-in-Chief Wang,' so the commander-in-chief is a little sensitive."

"Then I didn't make a mistake, so I got beaten in vain?" Wang Lin said angrily.

Wang Tianba said domineeringly: "If you keep chirping, I will beat you!"

Wang Lin lowered his head angrily and said, "No wonder the students want to riot. I understand them."

"What?" Wang Tianba yelled.

Wang Lin hurriedly smiled like a dog: "No, it's nothing."

Qian Quanxing said in a deep voice: "Okay, you don't need to use words to suppress me. If there is a drought bone pile, I, Qian, will kill it no matter what!"

"But what if there is no trouble?"

Wang Youde said: "How could it not be a drought bone pile? You heard what happened just now..."

"Stop, listen to me first." Qian Quanxing stepped forward calmly to stop Wang Youde.

He said: "At the beginning of spring this year, there were rumors of drought bone piles in Quanlu Town, Changtian County next door to us. Does anyone know about this?"

The people watching shook their heads.

They rarely leave the town, few people come to the town, and information is very limited.

Qian Quanxing said in a deep voice: "Things in Quanlu Town are getting more serious, and the Marshal must know it."

"At first, the weather was approaching spring and the snakes in the wild fields of the town woke up from hibernation early. Then many rats appeared in the town. The rats ran around in fear. Someone checked carefully and found that the rats fled their town in groups.

."

"At this time, someone discovered that several wells in the farmland outside the town were all dry, so rumors of drought bone piles emerged."

"Later, things became more and more bizarre. Someone went to investigate in the wilderness outside the town and found an isolated grave. An isolated grave that no one had ever discovered before!"

"The whole town was horrified. After asking around, they found out that this was the grave of an old man from a nearby village. The old man's children were unfilial, so he drank some tofu salt and died in despair."

"People in the village confirmed that the old man was unwilling to give up when he died. His eyes and mouth were open and could not be closed no matter what."

"In this case, the town invited an accomplished monk to come and see it. The expert said that it was this old man who refused to die under a fit of resentment and became a bone pile."

Having said this, he glanced at Yunsong.

Yun Song secretly pointed at Taoist Simu: Look at him, what do you think I am doing?

Qian Quanxing smiled slightly and said, "Everyone should understand what happened now, right? Who is this dry bone pile?"

"Is this the old man who died unjustly?" Wang Lin asked cooperatively.

Wang Tianba wanted to beat him again.

Wang Lin is angry like this. Do you think I am soft and easy to bully?

Yes, I am weak, but I am not easy to bully!

He thought so angrily that he simply made a decision to betray his ancestors - he would defect from the Wang family camp and join the Qian family camp.
