Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, this way of life has been maintained in rural areas for thousands of years. Therefore, Luojia Village became quiet at night, and the occasional barking of dogs could be heard far away.
Luo Tian and Luo Tieniu walked towards the ancestral hall at the back of the village in the dark.
"Brother Tian, ??this time it seems that this matter is not trivial."
Luo Tieniu's huge body was like a civet in the darkness, without making any sound. Luo Tian nodded secretly. He was an expert among experts. He could tell at a glance that Luo Tieniu's kung fu had become much better in the past few years. few.
"Well, by the way, why did you leave the army?"
"Hmph, our new captain is a useless child soldier. His military quality is very poor. I couldn't stand it. I practiced with him for a few times, but ended up breaking a few of his ribs. Then I was kicked out of the army. Already"
Luo Tian was angry and amused when he heard this, and said, "I remember that you participated in the competition in your military region last year, right? You won first place? Isn't fighting with a brute like you looking for death?"
"He's too bad, Brother Tian, ??I can't beat you."
Luo Tian and Luo Tieniu chatted and soon arrived at the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall of Luojia Village is located on a small slope behind the village. It is a huge antique house with red walls and green tiles. White light shines through the wooden windows, and some figures are faintly visible.
The ancestral hall in Luojia Village is a square hall in the middle, facing north and south. To the north of the opposite door are statues of gods and ancestors¡¯ tablets, as well as incense burners.
There are a row of three chairs on each side of the east and west sides, and people are already sitting there. The person sitting first on the east side is Master Jiu, who is now the patriarch of Luojia Village. The remaining five people are the elders of the clan. .
"Nine masters, dear uncles."
Luo Tian greeted each one one by one. These were all respected old people in the village, so it was natural to follow the etiquette.
"Luo Tianhe and Tieniu are here, let's get started."
Master Jiu straightened his back, stopped and looked at everyone before continuing: "There is a mountainous land of nearly a thousand acres behind our village. It was distributed to each household thirty years ago. Now someone wants to contract all this mountainous land. Come down, there are those who are willing and those who are unwilling. We won¡¯t talk about those who are willing. Those who are unwilling have been threatened one after another in recent days. I called everyone here tonight just to discuss this matter."
"As for Luo Tian and Luo Tieniu, they are the best among the younger generation. They have been working hard outside and have extensive knowledge, so I called them back to participate in this clan meeting."
Luo Tian stood quietly, his eyes scanning everyone's faces. As soon as he entered the ancestral hall, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Behind Luojia Village, or to be precise, there are several hills not far behind the ancestral hall. The hills are mostly filled with rocks and nothing can grow without soil. Now someone is actually contracting?
What are you doing as a contractor?
Luo Tian realized that this matter was not that simple - there were people contracting where there was nothing to do, so it was strange that there were no problems.
It was quiet in the ancestral hall, no one spoke, Luo Tian could even hear the "wow" sound of the wind blowing outside the door, which made people feel irritable.
"Luo Ning, you are the village chief, and you are the one who attracted this person. Please tell me first."
Seeing that no one was speaking, Master Jiu called his name directly, even sitting down was not an option.
"Thenlet me say a few words first."
Luo Ning knocked the cigarette pot in his hand under his feet and continued slowly: "Three days ago, the Six Japs came to me and said that someone wanted to contract the mountainous land behind our village. I think this is a good thing, but the Six Japs The Japanese have also said that either no contract will be contracted or all contracts will be contracted, so I think the village should handle it in a unified manner, and then take it back after it is distributed to each household, and then distribute the contract fee to each household, shouldn't it?"
"Huh! I don't agree. I still want to be buried there after I die."
Luo Ning looked at Luo Rong, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Old Rong, what do you mean?! Is it because your family can't contract out the entire village's land?"
"I don't want to, what's the matter? Also, if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. Who has done something secretly, you know it in your heart."
Now Luo Ning couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up suddenly and pointed at Luo Rong and said, "Luo Rong, what do you mean? You have to make your words clear to me!"
Glancing at Luo Ning, Luo Rong turned to Master Jiu and said, "Master Jiu, since the mountain land has been divided into various households, it is the business of each household. The three generations of my family are buried in that area. On the ground, I don¡¯t agree with this matter anyway.¡±
¡¡
Luo Tian's brows slowly wrinkled. The people in the ancestral hall were basically divided intoThere are two groups, one for and one against, with various reasons. They are all old men in their sixties and seventies, but they are quarreling red-faced and furious.
¡°Brother Tian, ??what¡¯s going on?¡±
Luo Tieniu was not afraid of a fight, but in such a scene, he felt like millions of bees were buzzing in his ears, which made him really dizzy.
" Shaking his head, Luo Tian signaled Luo Tieniu not to speak. In this situation, no matter what he said, he would offend other parties. Not to mention that he didn't understand the situation very well. The best way was to say nothing if he could.
However, Luo Tian's wishful thinking soon failed because Jiu Ye spoke.
"Luo Tian, ??what do you think of this matter?"
However, before Luo Tian could speak, Luo Ning gave a cold voice and said, "This is a major event in the village. What can a person who has not yet fully grown his hair say?"
"As I said just now, Luo Tian and Tieniu are the most outstanding young people in the village. After we die, the village will be handed over to them. Of course they have the right to express their opinions."
??Jiu Ye didn't even raise his eyelids, but his voice was as cold as ice. Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, his lips moved and he couldn't speak anymore.
Luo Tian originally didn¡¯t want to speak, but the current situation was that if he didn¡¯t say anything, he would lose not only his own face, but also Master Jiu¡¯s face, so he simply took a step forward and said:
We checked first and found out why the other party wanted to contract the mountainous land behind our village.
Luo Ning pouted and said, "What other treasures can there be in our village?"
He was secretly angry in his heart. Although Luo Ning was his elder and she didn't offend him, he was always targeting her. At that moment, Luo Tian was not polite and said, "Oh? I wonder what price the other party is willing to pay to contract the mountainous land in the village?"
"50 yuan per acre, contracted for 30 years."
Luo Tian stared at Luo Ning, suddenly smiled and said:
"I wonder how many acres you have?"
"ThisI have 10 acres."
Being stared at by Luo Tian, ??Luo Ning twisted around uneasily and started speaking intermittently.
"How about contracting it to me?"
One mu is 50 yuan per year, 10 acres is 500 yuan per year, which is only 15,000 yuan in 30 years. When he cured Lu Tongfang, he received 1 million yuan, and sold ginseng for another 8 million yuan. How could 15,000 yuan be in Luo Tian's eyes?
"Youhow about I not contract it to you!"
Luo Tian smiled. The other party was already a little angry at this time.
Without looking at Luo Ning anymore, Luo Tian said directly:
"My opinion is very simple. Showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft. We in Luojia Village have poor transportation. It is unreasonable to come all the way to contract the land in our village. So we need to check the other party's intentions first."
"Well, I think this is a good idea."
The speaker was Luo Fang. He was only younger than Master Jiu in the village and his prestige in the village was quite high.
"Butthe people who want to contract are in a hurry"
Luo Ning stood up immediately after hearing this, with a look of anxiety on his face. Last night the Six Devils said that if this matter was completed, he would be given an additional 50,000 yuan in benefits. He didn't want the cooked duck to fly away.
"Please wait for two days and check first. After all, it is thousands of acres of mountainous land, and it has taken thirty years."
"Then you have to hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid the person won't be able to wait."
Although reluctant, seeing Master Jiu making the decision, Luo Ning knew that it was useless to say anything.
¡¡
The night was getting deeper and deeper. Luo Tian and Jiu Ye were sitting opposite each other in a small room behind the ancestral hall. There was a small table between them, with a small red clay stove and a black tea set on it.
After the previous clan meeting, Master Jiu asked Luo Tian to stay, while Luo Tieniu was sent to guard the door of the ancestral hall to prevent anyone from entering.
"Luo Tian, ??what do you think of this matter?"
Master Jiu slowly threw a piece of charcoal into the stove, then picked up a fan and fanned it gently a few times. The kettle placed on the stove began to gurgling white steam.
"The Six Devils must have promised Luo Ning a favor, so he is so active. However, the Six Devils are not a kind person. There must be a reason why he is eyeing the land in our village. I still have the same opinion as before, and this matter needs to be investigated! "
After the discussion in the ancestral hall, Master Jiu stayed behind. Luo Tian knew that he must have wanted to hear his opinion in private.
"Well, Liu Guizi is a bastard. He has nothing to gain. People in the village have been constantly threatened in the past few days. I don't think he can get away with this matter."
Master Jiu put down the fan in his hand and raised his eyebrows??Wrinkled.
The real name of the Six Devils was Xie Guoxian. Because he had six fingers on his right hand and was skinny and inhuman, he gradually became known as the "Six Devils". He was one of the earliest people in Wu'an County and had a group of people under his command. There are more than a hundred people who dare to eat any kind of meat. When he intervenes, this matter becomes much more complicated.
Luo Tian stretched out his hand to lift the kettle from the stove and poured the hot water into the teapot that had already been filled with tea leaves. A scent of wild tea filled the air.
"Nine masters, we in Luojia Village are never afraid of anyone."
Noticing the flash of coldness in Luo Tian's eyes, Master Jiu nodded. He was also a person who had waded out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ??blood. He knew that this was murderous intent and it was also proof of a man's ability.
"Then let's do this. You can check this matter and see what's going on."
"Um."
Luo Tian nodded and placed the poured tea in front of Master Jiu
