The place where Zhao Laoguang's accident occurred was at the Yunling Reservoir at the junction of Hexi Province and Hedong Province.
It was evening when the accident happened. A driver passing by saw Zhao Laoguang's Santana car getting into the reservoir. At that time, the driver didn't take it seriously. Later, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
I couldn't bear it, so I reported the incident to the police four days later.
Soon, Zhao Laoguang's Santana car and body were fished out of the water. Through the ID he carried with him, the police knew his identity, so they notified the Huaxiang Police Station in Ci County, Fuhe City, asking them to inform the family of the deceased and come to claim the body.
, handle cremation and other funeral arrangements.
Zhong Shan, the director of the Huaxiang Police Station, is from Shuanghe Village. After receiving the news of Zhao Laoguang's death, he originally wanted to go back to the village to inform him of the incident, but there happened to be a case at hand that needed to be handled, so he arranged for two policemen
Went to Shuanghe Village.
Just as Xu Zhengyang guessed, when two policemen came to Zhao's house to inform him of Zhao Laoguang's death, both Xiangqin and his son were full of surprise, and Zhao Lin couldn't help blurting out: "How did Xu Zhengyang know?"
Probably because of occupational diseases or because the police were very vigilant, when the two policemen heard what Zhao Lin said, they asked who Xu Zhengyang was. Then they became suspicious and immediately went to Xu Zhengyang's home to arrest Xu Zhengyang.
After all, Zhao Laoguang is a well-known upstart in the entire township. If someone knew about Zhao Laoguang's death in advance, it would inevitably make the police suspicious.
As a result, Xu Zhengyang was arrested and taken to the police station for investigation and questioning.
Fortunately, Zhong Shan is from Shuanghe Village, and his son Zhong Zhijun and Xu Zhengyang have always had a good relationship. Therefore, Xu Zhengyang was not subjected to harsh methods such as torture and extortion of confessions in the police station.
However, the case was serious and a human life was involved, so no matter how Xu Zhengyang explained, he could not be acquitted immediately.
After two days of investigation, the policemen at the police station were puzzled.
Is what Xu Zhengyang said true? Sure enough, a land god told him the news in a dream?
Because the facts are obvious, Zhao Laoguang’s family did have a bankbook containing millions of dollars buried under the west wall. On the evening before Xu Zhengyang notified the news, Zhao Laoguang’s wife wanted to hide under the west wall of Zhao Laoguang’s home.
He opened a piece of land to plant flowers and plants, and finally dug out the bankbook containing a huge sum of millions. It is certain that except for Zhao Laoguang, not even his family knew about this bankbook, and where did Xu Zhengyang get it?
Know?
Moreover, through the witnesses mentioned by Xu Zhengyang, the police also investigated and visited several villages in the township, and confirmed that Xu Zhengyang had been walking around the streets to exchange for millet every day and had no time to commit crimes.
Xu Zhengyang explained that the God of Land entrusted him with dreams for two consecutive nights, so he was a little scared, so he gritted his teeth and tried to tell Zhao Laoguang's family...
Unbelievable!
But no matter how unbelievable Xu Zhengyang's explanation was, the police reluctantly chose to let Xu Zhengyang go home. After all, without conclusive evidence, you can't keep someone locked up?
The news of Zhao Laoguang's unexpected death caused a sensation in the village, and Xu Zhengyang was also taken away by the police that day. It was initially suspected that he was directly related to Zhao Laoguang's death. As a result, various versions of the news spread like wildfire in the village.
The general meaning is almost the same. Anyway, it was Xu Zhengyang who killed Zhao Laoguang.
But two days later, Xu Zhengyang returned to the village safe and sound, and the news that the land god asked him to deliver a message in a dream soon spread in the village.
When the villagers thought about it, it was really impossible for Xu Zhengyang to kill Zhao Laoguang, because everyone knew that Xu Zhengyang got up early every day to exchange millet, and was doing business in eight villages ten miles away. How could he suddenly travel more than 600 miles away?
Outside, kill Zhao Laoguang, and then turn back soon?
When people looked at Xu Zhengyang, their eyes started to look weird. There was something... wrong with this kid.
Why did the land god give him a dream? And...no one has believed in superstitious theories about ghosts and gods for many years, so how come there are such things as gods and dreams all of a sudden?
No matter what the villagers think, it is the Earth Temple outside the village. In recent days, no one dares to go in to urinate or defecate. It is said that... some people go to the Earth Temple to burn incense and paper in the middle of the night.
Xu Zhengyang believed this rumor completely and had no reason to believe it. He didn't even know why. Anyway, he felt that someone really went to the Tutu Temple to burn incense and offer petitions.
Oh, by the way, Xu Zhengyang was driven home by the police station director Zhong Shan.
After all, they were from a village, and they had a neighborly relationship. Xu Zhengyang was detained in the police station for two days. Not to mention that it was not in compliance with the law. From a conscience point of view, Zhong Shan also felt sorry for Xu Zhengyang and Xu Zhengyang.
Not his parents? So after sending Zhong Yang back, he gave his parents an apologetic explanation.
After Zhong Shan left, Xu Zhengyang's father Xu Neng lost his temper: "You bastard, you are so full that you only care about other people's family affairs! Why didn't you say that you were hysterical and ate dirt?
Are you nervous?"
Fortunately, Xu Zhengyang has been working diligently to earn money for Xiaomi for more than a year and has performed well. Otherwise, he would definitely have been beaten severely.
After such an incident happened, Xu Zhengyang felt extremely uncomfortable. He was resentful of the bad old man who gave him the position of the Earth God and the power that currently only seemed to have the ability to see ghosts. Damn it, no wonder he was tired of living.
If you don't want to be a god, you have to seek death. Love, the job of the land god... is really not a good job.
This is called being kind to the donkey's liver and lungs. As the saying goes, "A dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart." It's hard to be a good person, but it's hard to be a god. I guess Lu Dongbin was full of good intentions and meddling in his own business, so he said this.
This is a saying that has been passed down through the ages.
What's the point of being a land god spreading words?
Even if he didn't help Zhao Laoguang carry the message this time, wouldn't his family still get the news? His family also found out the bankbook worth more than one million yuan!
"What am I trying to do? I didn't get a penny! Damn it, it delayed business for two days." Xu Zhengyang was so angry that he couldn't sleep even after drinking half a catty of liquor. He thought about it all night in annoyance, but he didn't expect it after all.
What method can be used to remove the divine power from one's body, let alone who should be approached to resign from the position of Earth God...
So he made up his mind to never care about these messy things again. Nowadays, don't do good deeds with good intentions, otherwise you will suffer big losses!
Of course, this is just angry talk.
With Xu Zhengyang's temperament, if he encounters an old woman crossing the road or a child falling down, he will most likely rush forward to help him up. It was like helping a child on the bus once when he went to Fuhe City.
An old man gave up his seat, but the old man was so arrogant that he sat down naturally without even saying thank you. Instead, he glanced at Xu Zhengyang's rustic old hat with disdain. Xu Zhengyang was also furious and thought about it again in the future.
I won’t give up my seat either.
But now if he is on the bus, he will still give up his seat to the elderly, people holding children, and pregnant women!
This is nature, conscience, and human nature!
It is said that Xu Zhengyang didn't sleep all night, but refused to rest the next day. He had to go out to do business with panda eyes, trying to recover the losses of the past two days. However, after all, he was not an iron-clad body, so he looked listless.
It didn't go well either. It wasn't until noon when the sun was shining brightly in the sky and the heat wave enveloped me, and only half of the millet on my back was replaced.
After wandering around three villages, he came to the cross street of Xinzhuang Village, Xinzhuang Township, leaned his bicycle against the wall, sat under a thick willow tree, and ate the two he bought with water.
After eating steamed buns and smoking a cigarette, I planned to be confused for two hours.
What is hateful is that in this hot summer, even if you hide under the fan in the house, it is difficult to relieve the heat. What's more, under the shade of the willow trees on the street, even the occasional breeze seems to be wrapped in flames.
The heat wave was like a hot one, which made people sweat profusely and make them feel uncomfortable all over. So Xu Zhengyang, who was sleepy and tired, couldn't fall asleep, so he simply lit another cigarette and smoked it. He looked around boredly and soon noticed the diagonal opposite of Cross Street.
That "Xinzhuang Township Elderly Activity Center"
The Xinzhuang Township Elderly Activity Center was originally an ordinary earth temple. It is said that it was built during the Qing Dynasty. It has some meaning of a historic site, and it is also listed in the county annals, so it is protected better than Xu Zhengyang and others.
The Earth Temple in the west of the village is much better.
The year before last year, in order to better protect this cultural relic, the township paid for a large circle around the Tutu Temple, built a wall, and built a gate. At the same time, it also invited relevant personnel from the county to come and protect the temple.
The Tu Tu Temple was well maintained. Then several more houses were built in the yard. In order to save land resources and ensure value for money, the enclosed Tu Tu Temple was simply changed into an "elderly activity center".
Some fitness equipment has been installed in the hospital, and newspapers, periodicals, books, etc. are also available in several rooms, so that the elderly can come here to read and exercise during their leisure time...
Sounds like something that benefits the people? In fact, it’s just a face-saving project.
Except for the elderly people from Xinzhuang Village who come here occasionally, who in the other villages comes all the way here to exercise and read books and newspapers? Besides, even the elderly in this village are too lazy to come here.
With no one to take care of you, it would be better to be more comfortable at home.
Therefore, this "Xinzhuang Township Elderly Activity Center" is empty for 356 of the 365 days a year, and even the gatekeeper is not in the guard room all day long.
Fortunately, there is nothing of value here, so there is no need to worry about thieves.
Now, Xu Zhengyang is paying attention.
Earth Temple? Isn't there also an Earth God in there? Xu Zhengyang thought about it for a while, then thought about going in and taking a look. If there is an Earth God inside, ask him to help find the leader and resign from the position of Earth God. Xu Zhengyang really
You don’t want to do this job, there’s no benefit to it, right?
After making up his mind, Xu Zhengyang pushed his bicycle and walked there.
There was no one on the street in the afternoon. The heat wave invaded everything, and the air seemed to be baked. You could even see signs of flowing in the air.
Xu Zhengyang squinted and endured the scorching sun, and hurriedly entered the "Senior Citizen Activity Center".
Leaning his bicycle in a shady place, Xu Zhengyang stepped into the Earth Temple, and then sat down on the steps in front of the lone statue in the Earth Temple.
"Hi, Land God, are you there?" Xu Zhengyang looked around, lit a cigarette, and then introduced himself: "I am the Land God of Huaxiang, we are traveling together, why don't we come out to chat for a while?"
There was no reply. The clay statue, which was as tall as a person, stared kindly at the door, as if it was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Zhengyang.
"Really, I'm not going to lie to you, I am indeed walking with you." Xu Zhengyang explained while looking at the clay statue seriously.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. Xu Zhengyang became a little impatient and wondered if the land god was tired of life and committed suicide long ago? He frowned and cursed at the statue: "Hey
...Are you a dead person?"
Sure enough, there was no movement at all.
Sigh... Xu Zhengyang sighed. It seems that just as he thought, the land god here has also died.
The temple was somewhat cooler and more comfortable than outside. Xu Zhengyang, who was a little disappointed, simply lay on his back on the divine steps. Soon, he was sleepy and tired and fell asleep.
He was awakened by an inexplicable wave. He suddenly turned over and sat up. He looked around, but found nothing unusual. However, the inexplicable wave was still trembling in his mind, and then... a cold feeling came from his hand.
When he raised his hand and looked, he saw that a piece of white jade appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand, as if it came out of the palm of his hand.
Local Record? Xu Zhengyang still remembers that when the Earth God gave this thing to him before his death, he told him the name of this thing.
Then, Xu Zhengyang saw a picture on the jade stone that was as smooth as a mirror:
Zhao Laoguang's daughter-in-law, Xiangqin, carried a basket with burning paper and candle incense. In the stinking earth temple that was full of feces, she respectfully lit wax, burned incense, and then kowtowed in worship.
I am grateful to the land god for sending a message to their family...
As Xiangqin kowtows in gratitude, Xu Zhengyang feels a refreshing sense of comfort, filling his mind and gradually spreading to his whole body. There is no place where he feels uncomfortable and happy.
But then, Xiangqin's words made Xu Zhengyang a little annoyed.
After Xiangqin kowtowed and worshiped, she said respectfully to the statue of the Earth God: "God of the Earth, if you have any questions in the future, just entrust your dreams to me. Don't entrust your dreams to that boy Xu Zhengyang. That boy is not
What a good thing, even though he looks like a dog and is very diligent now, he was bad before..."
Xu Zhengyang was furious: "When did I become bad? Isn't it just because we fought several times before because of the loyalty of brothers?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished talking to himself, Xiangqin in the picture seemed to hear his words, trembled violently, kowtowed tremblingly and confessed: "I shouldn't gossip about people behind their backs,
I was wrong, I was guilty, and I will never dare to do it again. I just hope that the land god will take care of our family in the future. It is not easy for orphans and widowed mothers..."
Isn’t it easy for your family to be an orphan and a widowed mother? Damn it, you have more than one million yuan in the bankbook, and you can’t spend it all on your grandchildren! Xu Zhengyang cursed, and was a little dumbfounded. He thought in his heart that he must not let anyone know that he is
God of the Earth, otherwise wouldn't this village be in chaos? Fortunately, no matter how bad things Xiangqin said about him, he was still worshiping the God of the Earth. How could he know that the God of the Earth was Xu Zhengyang himself?
Since people are worshiping me, Xu Zhengyang won't be too angry, but he is a little touched. It's really hard for Aunt Xiangqin, in this age, she can still buy something like "incense" to worship me.
Staring at the picture on the jade in his hand, Xu Zhengyang looked at it with gusto, feeling that it was quite fun, just like watching TV, until Xiangqin left respectfully with the basket.
What Xu Zhengyang didn't expect was that Xiangqin had just left the screen, and the screen flashed away on the jade stone, but a line of red text appeared:
Xu Zhengyang
Zodiac: Pig
People from Shuanghe Village, Huaxiang
Now twenty-one years old
Position: God of Land in Huaxiang (converted to regular position).
Xu Zhengyang was puzzled and thought to himself, how could he become a full-time official after being half a land god? What can he do? Just when he thought of this, the picture on the jade stone flashed and gave the answer:
The God of the Land, the household register of the people and animals belonging to the land in Zhanghua Township, knows all the big and small things, and chooses good and evil according to the law; every half a year, when the daily merit officer is inspecting, he can submit the daily merit officer and forward it to the judge and the city god.
Meritorious officer? Judge? City God? What are these things? Xu Zhengyang frowned in confusion.
Tutulu seemed to be very spiritual and knew what Xu Zhengyang was thinking, so the answer showed again: meritorious officer, judge, and city god are not things, but the earth god who is directly subordinate to his superior.
Huh? Xu Zhengyang was happy and asked quickly: "What are you?"
Answer: Local records.
Nonsense...Xu Zhengyang asked again: "Are you spiritual?"
Answer: None.
"robot?"
The jade stone trembled for a while but gave no answer.
Xu Zhengyang found it more and more interesting and asked again: "Hey, what abilities do I have now? Oh, yes, it's divine power. What magical powers do I have?"
There was a flash of light on the jade stone, and a line of words appeared: In the land of Huaxiang, ghosts are afraid of it; it can make ghosts appear in front of people; it can check the trivial matters of each family, patrol the major events and minor affairs everywhere; it can know the living and dead things in the land; the divine eyes
It can reach three feet into the ground and pass through walls.
No? Xu Zhengyang’s face was filled with joy. Then wouldn’t he be getting rich?
How come it is so developed? Xu Zhengyang scratched his head and paid no attention to it for a moment. He looked up at the wall, trying to see the scene outside the wall. However, to his disappointment, all he could see was the snow-white walls inside the temple. Yes, yes, it can only be seen inside the temple.
Magical powers can only be found within the scope of Huaxiang, and this is Xinzhuang Township! Xu Zhengyang sighed, feeling regretful that he could not immediately test whether his magical powers were effective.
Xu Zhengyang stared at the clear writing on the jade stone and asked with a smile: "Well, how much salary do I, the land god, give me per month?"
Jade is indifferent.
"Oh, it's not salary, it should be called worship? Ah, no, it's salary..." Xu Zhengyang slapped his forehead. He didn't know which dynasty or generation this thing came from, so he quickly cheered up and explained seriously.
He said: "The work of the land god, um, this job cannot be done in vain?"
The jade stone trembled slightly, but still did not show the answer.
"You're fucking talking!" Xu Zhengyang was a little angry.
There was a flash of light on the jade stone, and the writings that were originally displayed introducing the power of the earth god disappeared, leaving only the smooth jade surface, crystal clear and flawless.
Damn it! Xu Zhengyang swung the jade stone and wanted to throw it to the ground, but in the end he couldn't let it go.
Suddenly, the jade stone trembled slightly, and a line of clear handwriting appeared: "If you have magical powers in this world, you will gain the status of a god after returning to heaven; you have no love for ordinary things, but you want to be reborn."
Although Xu Zhengyang couldn't understand the meaning of these four sentences, he could at least understand the meaning. He spat and muttered: "Bullshit, if you are a land-breaking god, you won't be greedy for mundane things, and you will be dead."
, the former land god was in such a miserable state, living for ten thousand years was useless, but in the end he got tired of living, committed suicide, and didn't enjoy it properly..."
After complaining for a while, Xu Zhengyang then thought about it, having magical powers is better than not having magical powers? It won't delay his business and make money. Maybe he can make more money with his magical powers. As for how to make money... I will detail it later.
Think about it. Well, every six months, there will be a so-called leader called a meritorious leader who will come to inspect and submit reports. Are there good and evil people in the hometown?
Isn't this simple? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Now that I am the god of the land, I can just pick a few people I don't like and call them vicious villains, and let the leaders deal with them. In addition, I can avenge my private revenge. What's the use of it?
Not for it?
How the leader would punish the evildoers was not something Xu Zhengyang considered, and he would not be lenient if he thought about it.
Ignore it and it won't cause more trouble.
At this time, Xu Zhengyang no longer felt sleepy, he was full of energy and excited. He immediately decided to go back to the village to test his magical abilities, and then seriously think about how to make a fortune with this magical power.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the temple, Xu Zhengyang thought that it was wrong to hold this piece of jade in his hand. If someone saw it, wouldn't it be harmful? So he said to the jade: "Hey, don't show it outside.
It caught fire and hid back in my body."
The jade flashed and disappeared in an instant, making Xu Zhengyang even a little worried that it might have been lost?
A quick thought made the jade appear again.
Haha, it works pretty well! Xu Zhengyang felt relieved happily, took back the jade stone with a thought, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned around and walked back to the god's steps, and used a lighter to draw a line of small words on the statue:
The Earth God of Shuanghe Village in Huaxiang Village came here for a visit. Lord Gongcao saw it and remember to visit me at the Earth Temple of Shuanghe Village in Huaxiang City.
Walking out of the Earth Temple in high spirits and joy, Xu Zhengyang pushed his bicycle out of the Senior Citizen Activity Center and prepared to go home.
Riding his bicycle towards the outside of Xinzhuang Village, Xu Zhengyang frowned as he approached the village entrance, thinking: Stay steady, you must stay steady, be an ordinary person, and don't let others notice anything unusual.
On weekdays, he would not finish changing the millet and would not go home until dark. If he went back like this today, his parents would be suspicious. Besides... Xu Zhengyang's temperament has already changed after running a small business for more than a year.
You have to get used to budgeting carefully. Wouldn’t it be a pity to go back all the way without replacing Xiaomi?
Besides, it’s not certain whether my magical powers will make me rich, so it’s better to be realistic.
Money is most realistic when it is earned.
So Xu Zhengyang hurried down, turned around, and started pushing his bicycle along the streets and alleys under the scorching sun, shouting energetically: "Change to millet..."
The sun was still very scorching, and the cicadas on the treetops were screaming crazily.
After walking through half of the village, no one came out to exchange for millet. I think the villagers were still taking a lunch break under fans or air conditioners to avoid the scorching heat.
I hawked all the way to the north of the village. When I passed by a house, I heard someone in the courtyard shouting: "Hey, Xiaomi, can you fucking stop shouting? Damn it!"
——————
Sigh, this chapter has a bit too many words, so I won’t upload it into two chapters.
Actually, I have never had the habit of changing a finished chapter into two chapters because of too many words. I have never done this.
Hmm, everyone’s recommendation votes are given to me.
In addition, book in advance, recommend and collect after midnight on Sunday night, I am ready to rush to the new book list...
