Ever since the potatoes were stored in the kiln, the farm in Laojundian has become more and more strange. The village is just a courtyard. The customers of Guantian do not live here, but are scattered around like stars.
Looking around the fields.
The incense in Laojun Hall suddenly became better.
It is almost impossible for farmers to keep secrets. When there is nothing to do, gathering in twos and threes on the field ridges, chatting, gossiping, talking about mountains and rivers is one of the few pastimes for farmers.
The Zhang family and the Li family are short, and they can talk about the most common things with gusto, making the whole room laugh...so it is no secret that auspiciousness appears in the land of Laojun Hall.
From Guantian to Zuozhuang, from Zuozhuang to Liujiayu, and from Liujiayu to Xiaoliuzhuang, the news spread as fast as if it had wings, and became more and more exaggerated.
Some people say that a sudden thunderstorm fell from the sky, and then the fields in Laojunguan grew with a yield of thousands of kilograms of grain per mu.
Some people say that Ye An, the "Yangcheng Yelang", was the disciple given by God to Xuan Chengzi, who brought auspiciousness from the heavenly palace to offer treasures to the saints and officials of the Song Dynasty.
Some people also say that Ye An is a star king in the sky who saw the disaster in Henan Prefecture and reincarnated with auspiciousness. There are many other theories. Although the theory is mysterious, the only thing that has not changed is the saying that the yield per mu is a thousand catties.
Because in the eyes of ordinary people, a thousand kilograms of grain per mu is already a miracle, and it is impossible to get more.
Only the customers of Guantian knew that the yield of potatoes per mu had reached 4,000 kilograms, and they prayed to Xuanchengzi for grain for sowing next year.
As long as potatoes are stored properly, they can be stored for a long time. If they are stored in a kiln and ventilated at intervals, it will not be a problem to store them for three months.
But this batch of potatoes will not be stored in the kiln for that long, because except for leaving one thousand kilograms as seed grain for Laojun Palace, all the other potatoes will be transported to Tokyo City.
The yield per mu is four thousand kilograms. This is what Lan Jizong and a group of imperial city officials have seen with their own eyes, so there will be no difference.
In order to prevent someone from burying potatoes in the ground early to pretend to be auspicious, the officials of the Imperial City Department almost watched each bunch of potatoes being dug out of the ground with the roots attached.
The news of the auspicious seeds growing in the fields of Laojun Temple attracted a lot of people, but as quickly as it came, it went away as quickly as it came. The incense in Laojun Temple was good, and it was said that it was very effective.
But after someone "accidentally" sneaked into the backyard and saw six "iron towers", he never came out again, so soon there were rumors that Laojun's palace was haunted, and the rumors were quite convincing...
Ye An scoffed at such rumors, but they were just deliberately spreading rumors to prevent others from showing up. He had experienced too much when he was on the border.
It's okay not to believe in ghosts and gods, but be careful of evil spirits. When someone comes into Ye An's room, Ye An feels that his room will always be a "treasure place".
Zhan'er has touched it before, and Xuan Chengzi has touched it countless times. Of course, there is another uninvited guest now.

Shi Xin felt that he was the unluckiest person in the Imperial City Division, because it was inappropriate for him to be favored by the Imperial City Division for his ability. A thief who slipped through the door and picked the lock could enter the Imperial City Division, and even a fool would know why.
Of course, Cheng Gongshou often said that the reason he valued himself was that he was good at tracking down thieves, but he did all the work of thieves!
Now, if you let yourself, a sentry from a majestic city, go into a young man's room and steal something, wouldn't you treat yourself like a thief?
Stealing something from a young man was a bit too shameful. Shi Xin felt that he could be of great use, but Cheng Gongshou said that his greatest use was to go to the young man's room to see if there were any other auspicious things...
…
Where can young people get any auspiciousness?
I don't know where the potato came from by chance. As for the warning to be careful, Shi Xin had already forgotten it. He could even go to Kaifeng Mansion, let alone a young man's room in this broken house.
In the house?
The door bolt opened as soon as he picked it up. Shi Xin smiled at the young man's vigilance and gently pushed the door open. A small pebble fell on the ground and made a slight clicking sound...
Shi's confidence tightened. There would be stones everywhere, but not on the door. This was a small trick of deliberately placing them on the door to prevent thieves.
His body stiffened for a moment and he scurried in like a monkey. At the same time, he carefully raised his ears to listen to the sounds in the room.
Fortunately, the young man's slight snoring could still be heard in the side room. Shi Xin, who was startled and uncertain, began to be cautious. It was not easy for someone to "set a trap" on the door.
There are many boys with powerful skills in the world... But this boy looks like a scholar. He usually smiles when he meets everyone and makes people approachable. It is really impossible to connect him with those boys in the world.
stand up.
Shi Xin walked forward gently and tentatively with his feet. Shi Xin was worried that there was something else on the ground, but he found nothing when he stretched out his feet. Could it be that he was worrying too much?
Slowly moving towards the side room, he stepped on the trip wire, and Shi Xin's heart became tense again. However, his strength was not strong, and he only made the bench on the ground move a little distance, and said:
There was not much noise.
So Shi Xin pricked up his ears again, but the snoring was still there...
I don’t know how many small traps he experienced in the short distance to the side house. No matter how careful he was, Shi Xin could always come across some trip ropes made of twine. The ropes dyed pitch black were barely visible in the dark room.
not see.
Shi Xin's cold sweat slowly fell from his forehead, and he could even hear his own pounding heartbeat. Every time he touched a piece of twine, his heart felt like being hit by a sledgehammer.
The distance of only ten feet made him feel as if he were facing an abyss.
When Shi Xin finally approached the side room and could finally lift the door curtain to see inside, his foot was hit by a very low trip wire again, causing him to lose his center of gravity and fall forward.
The dishes on the floor were like the loudest symphony resounding in the room. Shi Xin lay on the floor a little desperate, but at the same time there was a slight sense of relief. It was over, everything was finally over. Anyway, he had been exposed.
The lights in the room slowly turned on. When he raised his head, he finally saw the smiling young man sitting on the bed opposite him. His smile should be pretty, but for some reason, in Shi Xin's eyes, this smile was full of ridicule and teasing.
.
"The moon is so dark and the wind is so high that you can't see clearly under your feet, but your movements are too loud. Look at the pots and pans all over the floor. The noise is too loud, isn't it? Who asked you to come?"
He stood up carefully and glanced in the direction of the door. As soon as Shi Xin's legs were bent, Du... an extremely sharp dagger was inserted into the door frame. The light of the knife was like water, reflecting his face brightly. Shi Xin
I believe that as long as I dare to move again, the dagger in the young man's hand will be nailed to my body...
