Chapter 530 Yongning Village(1/2)
This village should be Yongning Village.
Anyang stared for a moment, then walked towards the village.
Walk along a road by the river and gradually approach the village, and a faint aroma of food comes into your nose.
"It seems it's just dinner time."
Anyang looked at the smoke from the sky, but it was still gone because there was no wind. It was long and light blue and gray, which added a touch of color to the cloudless sky background, making it less monotonous and boring.
Even though it was already dinner time, there were still people working in the fields outside the village.
The hoe waving rhythmically, raised high, and the shovel made a slight sound in the soil, like the swing of a mechanical clock, which spread far away from the quiet place where only birds and dogs barking were left.
People come and go in the village, and you can hear a lot of laughter when you get close.
A peaceful scene.
But when Anyang walked past a villager, he couldn't help but frown.
He felt that the villagers had a strange aura, not the demonic aura of the world of China, nor did they seem to be an additional product of practicing some strange power, but they were very different from humans, like another species.
Sure enough, this village is not human!
Except for the male protagonist Song Tianyin and his grandmother, everyone is pretending to be a demon!
However, these monsters do not eat people or harm people. They have lived in seclusion here for many years. Few people from the outside world come to disturb them, and no one will find them a monster, and even the celestial masters will find it difficult to detect them.
Since humans provoked wars with demons many years ago in order to rule the earth and devils, they have been defeated in the war, and they have hid in the deep mountains and demons. All the demons staying in the human world are facing the pursuit of the Heavenly Master and have to hide their whereabouts.
This is equivalent to their place to hide.
In this era, demons on earth have almost disappeared, and many ordinary people have forgotten the existence of demons. Only dignitaries will worship demons as delicious food to serve on the dining table, but they have also forgotten the horror of demons.
Anyang shook his head, walked into the village without thinking much.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he found that the villagers here seemed to do their own things, but they all paid attention to him vaguely.
Obviously, there are not many strangers coming to the village.
They are also afraid of being discovered and exposed, which leads to disasters, so they are secretly alert.
Anyang's face was calm and he was walking in the village.
But this quiet calmness made the sensitive villagers more alert, and some even hid in the house.
Soon, a lame guy came to him.
Anyang stopped.
The young man tied one leg with a wooden rack and was about 1.8 meters tall. Among the ancients, he was very tall. He was wearing a simple thick linen cloth, thin but not straight, handsome face, diligent face, and a bright smile.
"Where did this guy come from?"
"Shuntian Mansion."
"It's so far away, I'm so tired, right?"
"Yes, I'm a little hungry and a little thirsty. I don't know if there is a place to eat here recently."
The young man's smile became brighter and his white and neat teeth appeared: "Come on, let me introduce myself. My name is Song Tianyin, and I am the custodian here. My house just opened a teahouse, right in front!"
Anyang nodded lightly and said, "That's a coincidence. Let's lead the way. I'll try your skills."
"Okay, let me tell you, you have a good taste. People who have tasted my skills have really not said it is bad! Don't think I'm a little lame, but cooking is my third ideal job. Do you know what the second one is?"
"Let's lead the way."
"Uh... OK!"
Anyang followed him all the way.
Along the way, Song Tianyin collected a total of more than ten torn clothes, all of which were asked to sew.
He, the chief secretary, seems to be intimidating.
The background of Monster Hunting is largely based on the uniforms of ancient China. The most prominent point is the capital Shuntian Prefecture, and the prefecture of the chief was also a social control method that lasted for a long time in ancient China's feudal dynasty.
Called Baojia system.
The most basic feature of the Baojia system is that "households" are the basic units of social organizations, and unlike the Western system that rule civilians by individuals, the system of each dynasty is also different.
In the Han Dynasty, five households were among the families, and ten households were among the families;
In the Tang Dynasty, four households were neighbors, five neighbors were guarding, and hundreds of households were villages;
During the Northern Song Dynasty, ten households were one insurance, five guarantees were one major guarantee, and ten major guarantees were one capital;
The Yuan Dynasty appeared again, with twenty households as one Jia, and Jia was born, similar to the chief of the security guard.
The Qing Dynasty formed a card-arm system that was very similar to the decimal baojia system during the Republic of China period. That is, ten households are one card, ten cards are one a card, and ten a card is one a guarantee, thus establishing the strict control of the feudal dynasty over the country.
As can be seen from the name Shuntian Mansion, the background here should refer to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
So the cripple Song Tianyin is still a head of a thousand households, even if he refers to the Republic of China, he is still a head of a hundred households. However, for this village with a small population, he is probably just a village chief, and he is still a bullied village chief.
How could Wang Baochang be so majestic...
Ahem, it's been a long way off.
To avoid the author's age being exposed by this TV series Wang Baochang.
Anyang walks all the way to the teahouse opened by Song Tianyin's house.
It is actually very simple to say that it is a teahouse. It only has a very rough house and has no solidity. If a war starts, it is estimated that the heavy cavalry can collapse it, and it will be airtight if the window is closed.
Anyang looked around and was surprised that this house could stand for so many years without falling.
At least it was passed down from Grandpa Song Tianyin?
"Sit as you like, don't be polite!"
Song Tianyin's clean voice came to his ears.
Anyang found a random seat to sit down and asked, "Do you have a menu here?"
Song Tianyin's white smile suddenly stiffened, and she touched her head and said, "No, there are not many ordinary customers. Just tell me what you want to eat. I'll make it for you, and it's up to you!"
Anyang thought for a while: "I heard that your duck blood cake is pretty good. Give me one, and then you can have two side dishes. You can just serve a little bit of the staple food, and you don't care about it when walking outside."
Song Tianyin nodded immediately and turned around and left.
Only then did Anyang start to look at the surrounding environment.
Some of the walls made of soil and rocks actually had grass on them, and were ragged and dirty rags blocked the holes. There were several empty jars piled on one shelf, and garlic, pumpkin, pepper, etc. on the other wall were placed on the other side.
Through the opened windows made of firewood, you can see the scenery outside. A short house like mushrooms and a pebbled path crossing the village. The sun is warm and it has a bit of a Western-style smell.
Not long after, the dishes came.
The duck blood cake is cut into rectangular pieces in black, filled with a piece of wood, and placed with a large leaf.
One green pepper sliced meat, one cold cucumber strip.
The staple food is a bowl of noodles, with very thin noodles, similar to those of the vermicelli. It is filled with a bowl buttoned out from a tree root. The mouth and walls of the bowl are extremely irregular and smooth, which makes it look quite strange.
After tasting it in Anyang, it tasted pretty good.
This made him think involuntarily—
Is it because in the plot, the demon-catching celestial master Huo Xiaolan praised it for a good word...
Then he picked up a thin noodles and put them in his mouth to eat. Sometimes he ate some side dishes and sometimes he tasted two black duck blood cakes. Although he had eaten when he left, he still finished it.
"Yeah, it's not bad!" Anyang exclaimed and put down the bowl, "Well, what are you using to checkout here?"
"Twelve cents to carry out the benefits."
"Is silver OK?"
Anyang took out a piece of silver after turning his hand.
Song Tianyin was immediately stunned: "This...this is too much!"
...
After dinner, Anyang was already tired and did not want to rush to travel, so he rested here. Under the silver attack, he took over Song Tianyin's room without hesitation and let the young man sleep on the wooden table.
It is called a bed, but it is actually just a piece of wooden board.
People who walk around the world should not pay attention to it, so Anyang also rested with peace of mind.
The plot of Monster Hunt mainly tells about civil strife in the demon world, the old demon king was killed, the new demon king ascended the throne and became emperor, and in order to consolidate his dominance, it began to massacre old ministers of the previous dynasty who were loyal to the old demon king.
It is probably no different from the change of dynasties in the world.
There is a rumor in the demon world that when the little demon king is born, it can subvert the status of humans and demons, but the new demon king obviously does not want to see the remnants of the old demon king still survive in the world, so he sent a killer blood demon to chase the demon queen.
The plot begins here!
It's very domineering, but the movie is so cute.
The director used to do animation...
Under the escort of the guard, the demon queen successfully met the male protagonist and parasitized the demon egg in Song Tianyin's belly. Song Tianyin also met Huo Xiaolan, a demon hunter who was similar to the bounty hunter. In order to sell the little demon king for a good price, Song Tianyin had to go to Shuntian Mansion to "delivery" together under Huo Xiaolan's protection.
To be continued...
