Chapter 173 [The Old Man in the Prison Car]

Fang Chang thought for a while, and he already had a rough guess. He smiled at the two of them:

"Do you know the origin of the stove fire?"

After understanding the meaning of his words, Liu Yuande bowed his head and thought silently, while Yu Qingling had a straightforward personality and asked directly:

"I don't know, isn't this stove just for cooking and cooking every day? It even has a background and origin?"

"certainly."

Don't be too tight-lipped, Fang Chang said directly:

"The original source of the kitchen fire was the social fire in the tribe, and the fire pond in the cave in the ignorance period. From a distance, human civilization originated from the ray of fire in the dark. In the long time that cannot be verified , Humans learned how to make fire, and since then, civilization has come into being, and everything we have today.”

"It dispels darkness and brings light to illuminate the surroundings; it deters wild beasts and assists people to fight against beasts' powerful enemies; it bakes food, making human diets safer and more nutritious; it keeps warm and dehumidifies, giving humans a more comfortable living environment... "

"The most important thing is that it also carries the function of a sacrificial pond. Although people have changed their customs, its essence is still there. Even if it is useless to villains and monsters, it can still cause some damage to evil spirits."

"In addition, the level of evil spirits you encounter will not be very high, so the blind action of the shopkeeper's anger can also be effective. The combination of several coincidences will make it retreat. I have to say that Lang Zhongling's luck is really good , It is you people who should not die."

"Actually, for that kind of weak and evil spirit, many similar things have some effect, not only stove fire, but even lamps, copper coins, peach wood, etc., as well as the legendary boy's urine, will also have some effect."

Yu Qingling said:

"Even so, the evil spirit still injured several of our companions. If we hadn't just found a way to restrain it, the consequences would be unforeseeable."

"The owner of that wild shop was also terrified. The world has been peaceful for a long time. Although he opened a shop in the wilderness, he has never encountered any danger. After all, the place is remote, and even hooligans don't go there."

The team began to slow down.

"Here we are! Rest here today!" The people in the convoy communicated to each other.

And Liu Yuande and Yu Qingling also stopped talking with Fang Chang and started busy with various things.

As the leaders of the rivers and lakes, their affairs before accommodation are very complicated. They need to guard the surroundings, arrange defenses, arrange food and accommodation, appease the people... and a series of preparations.

Fang Chang also stopped.

He thought to himself, it's a pity that there is no kitchen god in this world, only the city gods, the gods of the earth, the gods of the mountains and the gods of water, and so on. There is no other, and there is no hierarchy.

This structure is very flat and very avant-garde, but considering the times, it is a bit crude.

In fact, it would be nice to have a Kitchen God, who can take care of many things.

Not only can you cooperate with the land city gods to protect the safety of various places, but you can also know the situation in the world-the situation in the world can be best known in the stove, after all, the food in the pot cannot be hidden from others. And life is alive, if you live, it is nothing more than food and clothing.

No hunger or cold, the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

The size of this town is not bad, similar in size to Huqiao Town.

The official road also passes through the town, but in the town, the houses on one side of the road are old and the houses on the other side are newer, and the houses on the newer side are much less.

It can be seen that the road originally passed by the side of the village, but because of the change in the center of gravity, the town began to develop towards the opposite side of the official road.

"Mr. Fang, I asked the name of this town, but it is called 'Lilin Town', the pear of the pear tree, the forest of the woods." Yu Qingling's task is much lighter than Liu Yuande's. Martial arts are superb, just need to keep patrolling.

In her free time, she wandered over to Fang Chang and told him the news she had just inquired about.

"Hmm, good name. But there don't seem to be any pear trees around this town." Fang Chang said with a smile.

Yu Qingling said with a smile: "Whatever it is, maybe a long, long time ago, there was a pear tree planted here, but it disappeared later."

"This kind of situation is also very common. For example, a hundred miles to the northeast, there is a Linhai town, but next to the town is a vast farmland. Later, I asked the villagers, and I realized that it was really a seaside a long, long time ago, and even There are still wrecks of fishing boats lying around the village."

Big business came, and several hotels in the town joined together to accommodate many of the convoy of prison cars.

The clerks and even the proprietor himself got to work, boiling water for cooking, tidying up the house, and tying up the cattle. The guards were not idle, they still looked at everyone around vigilantly, and after opening the prison van, let the prisoners inside come out to stay.

This is the case with long-distance escorts, and these people inside, if they had not suffered such an accident, they would all be people of status.

Moreover, all of them have extraordinary bearing, plus their previous deeds, if they were not worried that they would not be able to complete their work, quite a few of the guards would also psychologically sympathize with these officials who are fighting for justice for the people.

One by one, the prisoners were replaced with heavier iron shackles. The guards led the group of people, lined up and prepared to take them into the hotel.

The treatment of the leader, the former Lang Zhongling, was different. Although he also sat in a prison car and wore a prison uniform, his hands and feet were not shackled. Perhaps it was just the preferential treatment brought about by his poor official position.

Leaning against a nearby tree, Fang Chang looked at the many people in front of him, drinking wine silently.

Originally, he planned to solve it on the tree branch tonight, but Yu Qingling said that the people in Jianghu had enough funds and had already prepared a house for himself, so he gave up his original idea.

Suddenly, Fang Chang saw two acquaintances, supported each other, and jumped out of the prison car.

It turned out to be Liu Xiuwen and Hu Xueqiu from Huaifeng Mansion.

Liu Xiuwen was thin, with huge shackles on his hands and feet, and slowly joined the team, ready to find his room. Hu Xueqiu beside him was supporting him, but he was not shackled, but just followed slowly.

Fang Chang hung up the wine gourd, stepped forward a few steps, and asked:

"Why do you look like this?"

The two quickly turned their heads and saw that it was Fang Chang. They were very pleasantly surprised: "Mr. Fang, why are you here?"

"It's just on the way." Fang Chang smiled, and then asked the two people: "When you left Huaifeng Mansion in the past, how did you become like this? But I remember that not long after Mr. Liu passed the exam, he was also accepted by this Things get involved."

Similarly, what made Fang Chang very curious is that Hu Xueqiu is a big demon who has only changed form. Although she has given up on herself and her cultivation has stagnated, he has been captured like an ordinary person, and he has not rescued himself husband.

Hearing Fang Chang's question, Hu Xueqiu smiled bitterly and said:

"My father-in-law took the imperial examination for high school, and then entered the Imperial Academy to study general affairs. I also cleaned up the house after he entered the Imperial Academy, and went to Beijing with him."

"Unexpectedly, the long-standing conflicts in the court suddenly broke out because of some trivial matters. Although Xiuwen's official position is low, but for the sake of justice, he also participated in the joint signature." Hu Xueqiu pointed to the prison car next to him, "It turned out to be like this. "

"Xiuwen has never been strong enough. I was worried in my heart, so I just got into the prison car with him and took care of him. This is also the only thing I can do for him as a wife-although I can easily rescue him out and fly away, But Xiuwen disagreed."

During the conversation, two servants approached.

Ben tried to tell Fang Chang not to chat with the prisoners, but when he got close, the guard looked at the sword behind him. They had just experienced a fierce fight, and they looked at each other with anxiety, and finally chose to give up.

Thank you Two One World, A_ZEnoL for your reward.
