I have a volume of demons

Chapter 10 The suffering of the people is worse than the calamity of the demons

Lin Yi didn't expect that he just stopped the villagers' violence and handed Qin Shi a wet dress, and Qin Shi was about to give her daughter to her.

Xiaocao's face changed slightly. Obviously, she didn't want to leave her mother, but she was usually obedient and did not refute her mother at this time.

Lin Yi quickly waved his hands and said, "For some small things, you can't be called a benefactor. You can call me Xiao Lin. You can change the clothes and dry them for me when you go home. I'll come and get them myself later, and leave."

After rejecting Qin Shi, Lin Yi seemed to be running away, and quickly patted Guan Buping's hand, urging him to leave quickly.

Seeing this, the Qin family didn't want to stay any longer, and watched Lin Yi and the village head leave with resentment in his eyes.

The home of the village head is not far from the Earth Temple, only three or four hundred meters away, and it will take a short walk.

It was a rather elegant hut, surrounded by fences made of bamboo. The hut was not big, but it was kept very clean.

Guan Buping found a stool in the yard and sat down, then asked casually, "You live alone, village chief?"

"Yes, I originally had three sons. The eldest son died in the war 18 years ago, the second son died in the north eight years ago, and only the youngest son was conscripted into labor three years ago. There is no news so far. The old woman became ill the year before last. Go ahead of me."

Zhao Shan said what happened to him calmly, Guan Buping couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter. Birth, old age, sickness and death, gathering and parting, is the normal state of life, and the old man has already seen it."

Zhao Shan looked very open-minded, but when he talked about his children and his deceased wife, the sadness and loneliness in his eyes could not be concealed.

It is said that the most bitter thing in the world is that a white-haired person gives a black-haired person, and Zhao Shan gave it away three times, and finally lost his wife. Just listening to it, I feel a little heavy.

Ji Dong, who came from the Taiping era, felt that his chest was tight, but right now he couldn't protect himself, let alone help more people, so he couldn't help feeling even more depressed for a while.

Guan Buping quickly changed the topic, and said to Lin Yi: "Speaking of which, Qin's daughter looks pretty good to me, and she can be considered a beauty, why did you refuse?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Brother Xing, Guan, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Xiaocao looked only eleven or twelve years old, still a child!
Lin Yi hurriedly said: "My wife is small-minded and can't tolerate others, so forget it."

Guan Buping understood that this is a henpeck, so he stopped making jokes about Lin Yi, but the old village head Zhao Shan hesitated for a moment before interjecting: "The Qin family was not only thanking, but also asking for help. I didn't expect Brother Lin, if you refuse, it is a blessing or a curse for them."

"Tuo Gu!?"

Lin Yi was a little confused when he heard it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he also understood.

This Qin family first died of two children, and because of her own affairs, several hunters in the village died. The human face was scolded as a broken shoe, and there seemed to be evidence that she probably couldn't stay in the village any longer.

The present era is different from the future. After the death of the society, you can continue to live in another village. The Qin family has no place to stand after leaving Qinghe Village. In addition, her husband has not heard from him for many years after joining the army, and he is probably dead. The life of the Qin family is even worse. No hope.

"Speaking of which, her husband Zhao Ziming and the third child of my family also left in the same group. The young men who were conscripted at that time were either soldiers or hard labor. Zhao Jing was also a high-minded person. He said he didn't want to be a slave, but he wanted to be a slave. When he went to the north to try to gain a background, some people still laughed at him.

Now that I think about it, whether it is a soldier or a hard labor, there is actually not much difference. "

With Zhao Shan's words, he expressed the helplessness of the people at the bottom. Most of the time, they have no choice, and when they have a choice, there is often only a difference between miserable and worse.

"The world is tough!"

As an official, Guan Buping couldn't help laughing bitterly at himself: "Back then my master named me Guan Buping because he wanted me to take care of the injustices in the world. come over."

As he spoke, he tore off the small gourd hanging from his waist, twisted his mouth open, and took a hard gulp.

Drinking is not allowed during official duties, but what happened to Zhao Shan reminded Guan Buping that he had failed his teacher, wasted his years, and was so emotional that he could not care about these rules.

But Lin Yi got up suddenly, and said to Zhao Shan: "Village Chief, where does Qin's family live, I want to go and have a look."

"Pass the Earth Temple, go east, and walk three hundred feet. The one with a big willow tree at the door is her home."

Ji Dong stopped talking and hurried out.

Worried that something would happen to the Qin family, Lin Yi ran all the way, and soon saw the big willow tree that Zhao Shan was talking about.

There is a saying that no willows are planted in front of the house, and no mulberries are planted behind the house. It is already late autumn, and the willows in front of the Qin family's house are still crisp, and they look a little more strange.

It's just that Ji Dong stared at the willow tree for a while, but there was no response from the demon-conquering book. It seemed that although the willow tree was strange, it hadn't been demonized yet.

Lin Yi secretly sighed, he hurried to the courtyard door, knocked on the door, and soon, the well-dressed Qin came over, saw Lin Yi outside through the window, and quickly opened the door.

"Brother Lin, why did you come here so soon, I haven't dried your clothes yet."

Lin Yi saw that Qin's family was intact, and he didn't look like he was about to commit suicide. He looked inside and found that Xiaocao was standing timidly behind the door, only showing his head. He observed carefully, and when he saw it, it seemed like The frightened fawn hid in panic.

It's also normal.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, you can just hold it for me. Just now, I suddenly thought that the villagers might come to trouble you after we left, so I came here to take a look. If it's okay, I'll leave first."

"Wait, it's cold now. It's not good for you to run outside with your shirt off. There are still some old clothes of my husband at home. If you don't mind, go inside and change."

"Of course I don't dislike it, but I can just put it on outside and don't need to go in."

The Qin family had rumors in the village. If Lin Yi went in shirtless, people might say what they would say if they saw him. It's better to stand outside.

Seeing the slight change in Qin's face, Lin Yi also knew what she was thinking, and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, it's just that there is an evil guest in my family, and she will get angry if I talk to other women a few more times, or outside Bar!"

After hearing Lin Yi's explanation, Qin couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. It was really cute to see such an imposing young man like Lin Yi fearing guilt.

Mrs. Qin went to the inner room to get a set of coarse linen clothes. The material of the clothes was very rough, but they were washed very clean, and there was no musty smell. Obviously, the hostess took good care of the clothes.

From a piece of clothing, you can see her feelings for her husband.why...

Ji Yi thought that what the village women said before seemed to be groundless, and Wang Liang, who really liked other people's wives, had indeed come to Qinghe Village.

For a moment, Ji Dong was confused.

However, he didn't delve too deeply into it.

Anyway, whether Qin Shi is loyal to her husband or not has nothing to do with him. He doesn't care if they don't kill people and set fire to them.

As for Qin's claim of Tuogu, Zhao Shan may have thought too much.

However, based on the principle of coming all the time, Lin Yi told the Qin family: "I know that you are not in a good situation in the village now. If you need anything, you can come to Jingyesi Yamen in Xingsha City to find me."

Upon hearing this, Qin's eyes flickered, and a layer of mist gradually formed in his eyes.

She quickly covered her face with her hands, and said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Lin."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Ji Dong didn't dare to spend too long with this charming woman, so she hurried away after speaking.

Qin Shi watched his back as he left in a hurry, and couldn't help licking his lips.

"He smells delicious..."
