Lu Zhi and the villagers cut down the wormwood on the wasteland and dug several holes.
Remove the bones from the boiled villagers and piece them together.
A hasty burial.
I cut down a tree and prepared a tombstone.
But there were difficulties when erecting the monument.
They are all rough men with muddy legs.
What words will be written where?
Liu Hou did his part and took over the task of writing the tombstone.
There were a total of five villagers who were robbed as four-legged sheep, and there were also a few pots that the rebels had snatched from other villages.
Liu Hou wrote down the names one by one.
But people from other villages didn’t know their names, so they could only put up an anonymous condolence sign.
In ancient times, small seal script was used for tomb inscriptions. Liu Hou wrote talismans every day, and his handwriting was very beautiful.
Lu Zhi'er wrapped around him curiously and quietly watched him write.
The clear and graceful voice said: "Your handwriting is more beautiful than that of our Mr. Jiang from Sangou Village. Mr. Jiang is a scholar, and my father wants to use a load of rice to ask Mr. Jiang to teach me how to write."
"
"Is that old gentleman still in the country?"
Liu Hou asked casually.
Lu Zhi'er said sadly: "No more. This time dad invited him to go to Si's house. On the way, he met rebels who had turned into withered bones."
The girl pointed to a tombstone Liu Hou had laid on the ground.
That's the old gentleman's name.
Jiang Shuya.
The name is very nice, coming from the allusion of the small bamboos by the river, elegance and contentment.
Presumably that old gentleman also grew up in a scholarly family.
It's a pity that in troubled times, even in death, there is no flesh, only boiled bones are left.
Full of knowledge, but also boiled into soup.
Soon, several barren graves were left deep in the wormwood.
Liu Hou sat down cross-legged, took out the mahogany sword from his body, and placed it on his knees.
Close your eyes and mutter something in your mouth.
What he recited was the rebirth mantra.
The village chief, Lu Zhi, the villagers, and the masters of the Si family stood quietly behind him.
The rebirth mantra was blurted out loudly, and a trace of cloud and mist cleared from the sky, as if the sky was leaking, and a little sunshine fell.
Little stars.
Just sprinkle it on those barren graves.
After reading, Liu Hou stood up.
Lu Zhi looked a little surprised, raised his hands and asked, "Who is sir?"
"Taoist priest."
Liu Hou said calmly.
"It turns out to be the Taoist priest."
Lu Zhi respected Lu Zhi very much. In this troubled world, Liu Hou must be a powerful Taoist priest if he can walk alone with one sword. "I wonder where the Taoist master is going?"
"I'm just a wandering cloud and a crane. I don't care where I go."
Liu Hou smiled bitterly in his heart.
He didn't lie.
I really can't figure out how to break this illusion and what its purpose is.
So far, there is no murderous intention against him in the environment.
It's like playing a highly immersive VR game.
Or, watching a story!
Lu Zhi's face lit up with joy: "Then why don't we ask the Taoist priest to come with us and see my little daughter off in marriage? You are very powerful, sir. With him here, you won't be afraid even if you meet Xiaoxiao again.
I am willing to pay ten dan of rice as reward."
In this era of war and chaos, food is the hard currency.
Ten loads of rice is quite a lot.
Liu Hou pondered for a moment.
Suddenly I felt the hem of my clothes being pulled.
Turn around and look.
I saw Lu Zhi'er pulling at me, with a begging look in her eyes: "Little Taoist priest, little Taoist priest, just agree to daddy."
Obviously she was frightened by those rebels, and it seemed that Liu Hou, who had saved her once, was the straw that saved her life.
Once you catch it, you don’t want to let it go.
Liu Hou looked at her little eyes, and suddenly his heart moved.
Then he nodded: "That's fine, I'll go with you."
Lu Zhi'er's expression immediately relaxed, and a smile bloomed like a flower on her face.
With a shy face on her face, she happily turned to Lu Zhi and said, "Dad, the little Taoist priest agreed."
Lu Zhi scolded: "No matter how big or small, you call me Taoist."
While speaking, Lu Zhi sighed secretly.
He has lived for so many years, but he has not yet understood everything.
From the look in the little daughter's eyes, it was obvious that she was interested in the little Taoist priest.
However, she has already been betrothed to the Si family.
She is about to become the wife of the Si family...
In these troubled times, for food, he can only sell his daughter.
This is such a damn troubled world!
The procession of sending off the bride started again, and Liu Hou was walking in the middle of the procession.
Lu Zhi'er changed into brand new red clothes and sat in the sedan.
From time to time, he opened the curtain of the sedan chair and secretly glanced at Liu Hou, looking at him non-stop.
And Liu Hou was also looking around.
However, his eyes were always lingering on the good guys from the Si family.
The eyebrows and eyes of these masters are haunted by demonic aura, and their halls are dark.
Although it is not full of evil and evil.
But after all, I often come into contact with evil things.
He came out of Si's house again.
Haha, it seems that it is not easy for the Si family to welcome a bride.
We walked for a whole day.
When we were still more than twenty miles away from Si's house, it became dark.
The team did not dare to go any further.
As soon as the sun sets, it becomes dark.
In this chaotic world, there are not only wars and chaos, but also monsters and monsters that come out to cause harm after dark.
You need to light a bonfire to drive away evil spirits and stay quietly until daylight.
The leader from the Si family sat in front of the bonfire, drank a large sip of bad wine, and chatted with Lu Zhizheng: "Village chief, there are only two days left before he can arrive at the Si family. Your daughter will definitely enjoy the benefits when she marries into the Si family.
Glory and wealth. When the time comes, you must promote me more."
Lu Zhi didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Liu Hou approached and suddenly asked: "Leader, are you not from the Si family?"
The leader shook his head: "Of course not, the Si family doesn't look down on people like us. The Si family is a big family and has always been rich. This time when we go back to welcome the bride, we will get a lot of rewards."
It turns out that these experts were all temporarily invited by the Si family.
Liu Hou was silent for a moment and became even more confused: "It is said that the Si family is a wealthy and powerful family. Is it famous in the neighborhood?"
"It should be very famous..."
But the leader was not sure: "Anyway, everyone around us knows that the Si family is rich."
"How did their family get rich?"
Liu Hou asked immediately.
"No, I don't know."
The leader shook his head: "Taoist Priest, why do you ask so many questions?"
"It's nothing, there are just some things that I care about."
Liu Hou turned to the village chief Lu Zhi and asked: "Village chief, have the Si family brought anyone to see Lu Zhi'er?"
"I brought her here. I even brought a matchmaker here, and even a Taoist priest. When the Taoist priest saw my little daughter, his eyes lit up and he said she was her. Her horoscope matches the young master of his family, so she is a perfect match."
Lu Zhi said.
Liu Hou frowned: "Are the eight characters compatible?"
The horoscope of fart matches.
It seems that the Taoist priest is either a charlatan, or the Si family has ulterior motives.
She had seen Lu Zhi'er's face. Although she looked beautiful, she had a little beauty mark on her temple and a sinister look on her cheek.
When he first rescued her, he gave Lu Zhi'er a hand.
When Liu Hou touched her bones, he was immediately startled.
This girl still has a three-yin constitution that can only be achieved by being born on a yin day in a yin year, a yin month, and a yin day.
The face is always evil, and the body has three yins.
According to the hexagram, Lu Zhi'er will never get married in her life and will only end up alone. If she were born in Liu Hou's era, she would definitely become a strong woman who created the era.
If she were in the palace, she would be the empress with great power.
It's a pity that she was born at the wrong time, she is just a weak woman in troubled times.
If you don't die, that's the best outcome.
Any Taoist priest who knows a little bit about physiognomy should be able to see Lu Zhi'er's face.
But why did the Si family still want to marry Lu Zhier?
Could it be that he was so idle that he forcibly married a Sanyin girl because he wanted to destroy his whole family?
There is indeed something wrong with this Si family!
