It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 488
"Arresting people everywhere? Does your county magistrate not care?" Mu Liuyun had an expression of not believing the boy's words.

"Take care? How does he care? Why does he care?" The little boy chuckled, "His own father's life was picked up by a sorceress, how could he care about these things! Besides, the head of his family His son either just went to kiss, or although he hasn't kissed yet, he is not a virgin, and his daughter is married, so he has nothing to worry about!
Furthermore, even if there are virgins and virgins of the right age in his family, did the divine man and witch have the courage to go to the county magistrate's house to arrest people and sacrifice them! "

"What you said is quite reasonable, I really didn't expect this level!" Mu Liuyun nodded, "Then why did people die?"

"Isn't it because of unlucky luck that you encountered a stubble as soon as you made a move!" The little man curled his lips, "Originally they took a fancy to the children of a family and ran to arrest him, but they didn't expect that family's temperament to be extremely stubborn. , resolutely not allowing them to take away their own baby, tearing for a long time, the family refused to let go, and did not know how to push and push, the woman of that family fell out all of a sudden, hitting her head on a big rock next to her ...

Tsk tsk tsk, I wasn't there at the time, and I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard from others, it's just too miserable!The head was smashed directly, dripping like tofu flowers all over the ground...

This incident was quite violent, and the people around saw that there was a fatality, and they also started to make noise. The county magistrate was afraid that some trouble would be unsightly, so he asked those people to find another way, and those people were not in the county afterward. There is a lot of trouble in the house, and it is estimated that he has gone to the countryside. "

"Is it possible to arrest people casually in the countryside?" Mu Liuyun asked.

"That's not to say that, it's just that, I heard that the countryside is not peaceful these days, and the troubles are fierce. Maybe they believe it too? But these days, I haven't heard any news about the practice of offering sacrifices to heaven. I don't know how many children they got!" Although the young man couldn't talk about gloating, at least there was no sympathy or pity in his tone.

Mu Liuyun felt a little unbelievable: "Why don't you think those children are pitiful?"

"Do you think the pork on the pork stalls in the market is pitiful?" The little man sneered, "This matter is so troublesome, there must be a way to solve it, it has been so exhausting! Besides, How many catties and ounces do I have, and I still can’t figure it out? Now it’s said to use virgin boys and girls to worship the heavens, but if it’s said to be my age later, I just happen to be suitable, so what can I do? You Do you think they can pity me if you sacrifice me to heaven?!"

You sons and daughters of rich families will definitely not understand, I don’t have that much time to pity this poor one, if it’s not my turn, I’m just taking advantage of it, if it’s my turn, I’ll admit it’s bad luck, that’s all chant!

Originally, the boy's indifference made Mu Liuyun feel a little uncomfortable, but now hearing what he said, the feelings in his heart became more and more complicated, but he didn't have any intention to blame him for being cold and numb.

Obviously, the problem here in Shezhou is no longer a day or two, or even a year or two. It's just that this year's year is not good, and strange things happen frequently recently, which makes the conflicts intensified. .

Over the years, in this environment that is often poisoned by so-called evil spirits and witchcraft, many people here have long since become insensitive because they don't even have the most basic ability to protect themselves, and have lost compassion for the death and death of others.

"Do you know which village is the most vicious in this neighborhood?" Yuan Mu asked.

The little guy looked at him suspiciously: "Guest officer, why are you asking about this? Is it possible that you like to listen to those ghosts and ghosts, and you still don't believe in evil and want to go over there and see for yourself? Do you two have the same horoscope? How heavy!"

"Of course not." Yuan Mu shook his head, "We have to know what to do, remember to avoid those villages when we leave."

When the boy heard this, he suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I just said it! How can anyone hear that something evil has happened, not only do not hide, but instead rush forward!
If you say that, it will be easy to handle. Didn't you just say that you are going to travel all the way to the capital?It doesn't matter which city gate the two guest officials entered through when they came, just don't go out through the north city gate when leaving!

If you go out through the North City Gate, you won't be able to get around those villages, because they are very evil! "

"Success! I'll listen to you! We will definitely avoid the north gate when we turn around." Mu Liuyun immediately expressed his opinion straightforwardly, and then asked, "Besides avoiding the north, are there any beautiful places around your Yiling County? , can you let us have some fun?"

The little guy scratched his head. He probably grew up here since he was a child, and he didn't have any novelty about the surrounding countryside, so he really didn't think those woods, weeds and hillsides were worth traveling all the way to visit.

"If you have to say that the scenery is beautiful...there is a river in the west of the city, and there are some willow trees by the river. A river, the downstream passes through those evil villages in the north of the city, so I can’t guarantee that there is nothing wrong with the river water!”

"Okay, let's go and have a look tomorrow. If we feel something is wrong, we will immediately turn around and come back. We will definitely not stay longer. After all, this little life is not a joke! My parents are still waiting for me to go home to marry a wife and have children, and carry on the family line! "Mu Liuyun replied with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the shopkeeper came back and bought a lot of snacks and preserved fruits for them.

Yuan Mu also generously opened up the snacks and preserved fruits on the spot, and shared a little with the shopkeeper and the boy. , and I am not very old, and when I like to eat snacks, I am very straightforward, thank you happily, and stuff it into my mouth, without any embarrassment.

The shopkeeper laughed and scolded the boy for being a glutton, and took the snack happily, ate a little while taking it, and rewrapped it again. When Mu Liuyun saw it, he said with a sneer that business has been difficult recently, and the boss has no The money came into the account, so naturally there was nowhere to go when paying them wages. The ladies and children in the family hadn't been willing to eat these things for a long time, so he wanted to take them back to satisfy their hunger.

Hearing this, Mu Liuyun couldn't bear it, so he wrapped an extra portion for the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was flattered, thanked him again and again, and happily accepted it.
