Chapter 1: The Winter Solstice Guantao County is still the same Guantao County, the city walls are dilapidated, and the roads outside the city are overgrown with weeds on both sides.
But in the eyes of the returnees, everything is completely different from before.
This is home, the country voice is cordial, and the cold wind is warm.
When you open the door, you will soon have a familiar smile, a steaming meal, maybe crude, but at least you don't have to put a knife under your pillow when you go to bed in the future.
Before he arrived at the city gate, Xiao Jiu's heart began to "plop" and "plop" wildly.
He didn't know if his mother was okay, and he didn't know how to explain to Lin Xianling and the others that he had been missing for so long.
I don't know how to deal with her complaints and tears when I meet Xiao Xinghua.
Uncle Zhu Wanzhang arranged a wedding date for the two in Layue, and now it is the end of November, so he hurried back.
Let Xinghua have a daughter's family every day, it's too much to live with her.
However, Cheng Mingzhen was glad that he had always maintained an inch of clarity on the spiritual platform in Juluze, and had never been scorched by the cuckoo's fiery enthusiasm.
At the moment of parting, he almost wanted to turn around when he heard Xiao Xiao's neighing behind him.
As long as you turn around, the most delicate wildflower in Julu Ze is your own.
Young people know.
But he didn't dare, he and Cuckoo were people from two different worlds.
One is like a fish swimming in the water, and the other is like a wild goose in the sky, and perhaps the shadows of each other will overlap for an occasional moment.
But after overlapping, they are inseparable from their respective lives.
He has an old lady to support, and he has a requirement for fame, and he is reluctant to give up the position of Bing Cao in Guantao County in exchange for his head and melon seeds.
And after the cuckoo's watery tenderness, there is also the frosty face of the jade-faced rakshasa.
Murder, arson, robbery, infighting, she is a bandit, and she is destined to have these in her life.
And each of them, Cheng Mingzhen doesn't want to get involved anymore.
Therefore, after helping her settle the troubles in Julu Zezhong, Cheng Mingzhen immediately chose to leave.
And along the way, try not to think about the days that the two have walked together for half a year.
It is true that she saved his life, suffered a lot of grievances for him, and almost broke the house by buying medicine.
But he also gave her enough in return.
Half of the leopard battalion, half of the square battalion, and the countless captives who were sheltered were grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
According to the rules of Julu Zezhong, there is no reason to give up easily what has already arrived.
Since then, except for Zhang Jincheng, there is no village owner in the entire Zedi who is as strong as her.
She's about to be windy, and she's going to be rainy.
"I don't owe him anything" Along the way, whenever that neat and upright figure appeared in front of him, Cheng Mingzhen quickly drew a conclusion from his heart.
This conclusion was so firm that until he reached the gate of Guantao County, he still emphasized to himself repeatedly.
There were many people waiting in line at the gate of the city to wait for the officers to let them go, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the official road, everyone instinctively looked back.
Many people immediately recognized who the comer was, and scattered with a "bang", lest they block the young man's way.
The servants, who were collecting the city tax from the people, opened their mouths wide, and the meat in their hands fell one after another, and rolled all over the ground.
"What's the matter, Hulu, you don't know me anymore" Cheng Mingzhen jumped off his mount and reached out to pat a servant on the shoulder with a smile.
He had expected that his sudden appearance would surprise everyone, but he didn't expect it to surprise everyone so much.
Before the hand made contact with the other party, Liu Hulu, the fierce and vicious servant just now, had already "plopped" to the ground, his lips trembled, his eyes turned white, and he was almost about to faint.
"No, what kind of ghost are you pretending" Cheng Mingzhen knew that Liu Hulu usually liked to joke with everyone the most, so he quickly reached out and pulled the other party's arm, "Don't make trouble, I'll hurry home and get up."
It's not good to be seen."
"Heh, heh" I don't know if it's because of excitement or for what reason, Liu Hulu's mouth is wide open, but he can't say a complete word.
His right hand grabbed Cheng Mingzhen's wrist where he was pulling his arm, and snot and tears flowed out.
At this time, Cheng Mingzhen was even more confused.
He smiled and said loudly, "What are you doing?"
A few of you, come and see, what's wrong with the gourd brothers, why did they suddenly get sick."
Several officials had their backs against the hole in the city gate, their legs were constantly trembling, and they wanted to step forward, but they didn't have the guts.
I want to run, but I can't lift my strength.

He stared at Cheng Mingzhen for a long time before finally asking in a trembling voice: "Cheng, Cheng Ye, you, you have come back with money when you are old, and the money is not enough to spend, and you still blame the brothers for saying the wrong thing when they were drunk."
"Grandpa Cheng, I haven't offended you" Liu Hulu finally relieved himself a little, and cried while struggling, "Since you left, I have burned three pillars of incense for you every month."
Although the brothers on the old lady's side didn't move, they didn't run out of food and clothing, so let's go, we just remember to give you sugar melons."
"Master Cheng, let's go.
This year, the sugar melon will not lack you" is just a servant, and a few brave people also swore to promise.
"What kind of sugar melon, when will I ask you for sugar melon to eat" Although Cheng Mingzhen's reaction speed slowed down due to the fatigue of the journey, he also found that things were strange now.
Let go of Liu Hulu's arm and asked with a frown.
As soon as he got out of his control, Liu Hulu immediately crawled to the city with a rolling belt.
While climbing, he shouted loudly, "Close the door, close the door, Lord Chenghuang is angry, close the door quickly" At this time, Cheng Mingzhen finally understood why everyone was hiding from him.
It has only been a few months since he dared to love himself, and he has already been "promoted" to become a ghost pawn under the account of the old man of the city god.
This is a joke made by a guy who lacks morality, didn't he curse himself for a short life Thinking of this, he took a few steps forward, grabbed Liu Hulu's neck and dragged him upside down to the sun, and slammed it to the ground, "You can't be crazy."
Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight in case it disturbed the people, Lord Lin should be careful about your ass" "Ouch" Liu Hulu, who was thrown a big fart, didn't dare to run away anymore, and peeked at the person who scolded him with the corner of his eye.
The other party is right, the ghost pawn will not come out in broad daylight.
But the statue in the Earth Temple had been piled up for months, and he had a shadow, standing on the ground with his feet instead of floating in the air.
"No ghost, I'm not dead, I'm injured, I'll find a place to heal before I come back" It was rare to have the opportunity to confess to himself, Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly threw his hands around.
He decided to tell the lie himself first, giving everyone a preconceived impression.
In the future, even if someone makes trouble about their disappearance, it will not cause any great harm.
As for why he was "promoted" to become a ghost pawn in the City God Temple, it was a stubble that he was not in a hurry to calculate.
Guantao County is a remote place, and the people inevitably like to worship some strange forces.
As long as you walk around in the sun a few more times, the rumors will be self-defeating.
The people who were watching from afar let out a "buzz" and quickly dispersed farther away.
But after all, there were a few of them who were a little bolder, and they turned around and listened carefully to what Cheng Mingzhen was saying.
"Look at my shadow" and "If ghosts can fly, why do they need to ride horses", the young man's repeated emphasis finally attracted everyone's attention.
People have shadows, the horse snorts white in the cold wind, and more importantly, the evil Liu Hulu was not pulled away by Cheng Mingzhen.
There are all kinds of signs that the young man is telling the truth.
He's not dead, he's not a ghost, and he doesn't have any ill will towards everyone.
"You, you're really not dead" Liu Hulu, who was sitting at Cheng Mingzhen's feet, was the most frightened, and was the first to come back to his senses, rubbed his eyes, and asked cautiously.
"You're fucking dead" This kind of person must be dealt with in a way that they are familiar with.
Cheng Mingzhen raised his leg and kicked Liu Hulu a few times.
"Dead people kick you, you won't hurt you don't hurt, tell everyone, do you hurt" "Alas, alas, don't kick, don't kick, I'm in a hurry to kick again" Liu Hulu, who had been kicked a few times in a row, finally fully sobered up, and scolded and said, "You kid dare to kick Uncle Liu, you are impatient."
Suddenly, he realized that if the other party was alive, according to the previous promise of Lord Lin, he would be about to take up the post of county magistrate of Guantao County.
Hurriedly put away his majesty, and added with a smiling face: "Hehe, look at me so happy."
It's great that you are alive, today is really a happy day, brothers, hurry up and lead the horse to the gate of the county government for Brother Cheng.
See you at noon today, and give Brother Cheng the wind and dust."
"I don't need the kindness of a few brothers, I understand it" Before the officials responded, Cheng Mingzhen gave his hand around.
"Half a year ago, I have to go home to see my mother first.
The county magistrate asked Brother Liu to report it.
He said that I had recovered from my wounds and returned safely.
Tomorrow morning to the Yamen Yingmao" "Alas, alas, definitely, definitely" The so-called catching the wind and washing the dust was originally a kind word.
Since Cheng Mingzhen didn't let everyone break the bank, Liu Hulu was also happy to save this money.
"Brother Cheng is really a dutiful son.
You can go home with confidence, and I will report to the yamen immediately." didn't wait for Cheng Mingzhen to get on the horse, he suddenly ran over like a pug, and grabbed the reins of the war horse, "Brother Cheng doesn't know yet, you have already moved, and the new house is on Chengxian Street, next to Wang Tou'er's house."
"I've moved" Cheng Mingzhen fainted on horseback, "Which Wang Tou'er is the new head catcher?"
"It's Brother Ermao," Liu Hulu grinned so hard that his mouth was on the fork of his ears, "He went with you to envoy Zhang Jincheng over there and saved the lives of the whole county."
Afterwards, your old man didn't see anyone, look at my mouth.

I'm glad that I forgot about your old man's seclusion to recuperate, and the county magistrate can't find you. rewarded Brother Ermao and promoted him to be the third head catcher in the county.
After Brother Ermao became the head catcher, he immediately bought two houses, one for you.
One place to keep for yourself" "Uh" Cheng Mingzhen let out a long breath.
The sudden change made him feel dizzy.
Wang Ermao actually became a head catcher, but with his timid and fearful character, Chengxian Street is a good place.
Xiao Xinghua's home is on the same street, and if she wants to go back to the door after getting married, she can walk over with her legs Drinker's note: Today's shift, slow down.
Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will strive for two watches.
If there is something on Friday, try to ensure a change
