Mutated Tao Chapter 89: Wu Family
After thinking for a while, Li Huowang nodded. "Old man, tell me, what are the rules?"
"The first one, in our Wujia Village, you are not allowed to talk back to older people, especially me." The village head of Goatee raised his index finger.
"Is this the rule?" Not only Li Huowang was stunned, but everyone else was stunned too.
They thought there would be some weird rules, but it turned out to be so common.
"Isn't this a family rule? Do you really want to use your own family rules to restrain outsiders?"
Li Huowang knocked Gouwa next to him with his hand, and said to the village chief, "Go ahead, we are listening."
"The second one is that we are next to the forest, and there are often living things in the forest coming out of it, regardless of mice or night owls, you can't hit or step on them. If you encounter them on the road, you We have to give in first, they have been kind to our Wu family in the past."
"The third one, you are foreign guests, and men are not allowed to talk to women in our village. This rule did not exist in previous years, but a few years ago, a shopkeeper abducted two daughters-in-law from us! Oops, I get angry when I mention that shopkeeper..."
Under the endless chatter of the village chief, Li Huowang and others gradually understood the various rules of the Wu family village, so they couldn't ban such trifles everywhere.
"Shuiqian Wangbaduo, there are quite a lot of bad rules in this broken village, why don't we just stay here."
"Hush, listen quietly."
At this time, the village chief's rules are coming to an end. "The eleventh rule is, don't turn on the lights at night, don't go out at night, and the last rule, that is, don't worry about the time, wait for others to turn around before speaking, and never speak with your back to others."
Hearing this, Li Huowang frowned slightly. The last two items made him feel that something was wrong.
"What if I break these rules? What happens?"
"Breaking the rules?!" The village chief stared at the biggest, and said confidently: "Fine money! One or two fines for one violation, and three times for the next violation! Punish until you dare not stop! Don't blame us. If you bully you foreigners, the same is true for your own people."
"..." Li Huowang suddenly had an illusion, maybe he was wrong.
Feeling someone pulling his hem, Li Huowang nodded to the old goat in front of him, "Don't worry, old man, we are all sensible people."
"Well, that's good. Otherwise, I wouldn't waste my time seeing you with two children. I'm getting old, and I can't see babies suffering."
Speaking, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard. Two carriages stopped in the courtyard, and Li Huowang and others carried the quilt into the musty west wing.
After cleaning and tidying up, the sun has already started to go west.
After everything was tidied up, the village chief came in again, and said with a smile on his face: "Well, young boy, do you want to have dinner here? If you want, I'll ask my mother to cook more. "
After thinking about it for a while, Li Huowang nodded and said: "Then I will trouble you."
Seeing the old man leaving with his hands behind his back, Li Huowang winked at Xiaoman, "Go to the kitchen and help the master."
"Yeah." Xiaoman nodded and walked out.
The village chief also has a large family, with six sons, two daughters, and grandchildren. When eating, dozens of people are very lively.
This is also the reason why he dared to take in Li Huowang and others. In the village, as long as there are many sons, no one dares to provoke them.
Even though they lived in a house with three entrances, the food the Wu family ate was double-steamed rice, which was not very hungry, and the vegetables were all grown in the fields, which seemed very delicious.
And when Li Huowang came out, they had already started eating. The host didn't mean to wait for the guests at all, and some dishes were all empty.
"The rice is there, serve it yourself, country people don't have so many rules when eating."
Li Huowang shook his head indifferently. "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way."
He led the people towards the steamer in the corner and walked over, and began to count silently in his heart.
Just when he had just counted to ten in his heart, there was a sound of bowl breaking behind him.
When he turned around, he saw dozens of people, including the village head, lying on the ground, and fell asleep.
"Hehe, that peddler's Mongolian sweat medicine is really good, you get what you pay for."
Regardless of whether these people were controlled by the evil called "Twelfth Moon Eighteenth" and planned to set him a trap, anyway, Li Huowang didn't intend to distinguish at all.
Following Li Huowang waving his hands one by one, the others quickly rushed towards the east wing where the host lived, and began to search for clues.
"Look for the characters first, and then look for other unusual things. The weirder the more, the more attention should be paid to them, such as amulets and gods. I want to see what tricks they are up to!" Li Huowang faced others said.
Looking around, the entire courtyard with three entrances was turned upside down by Li Huowang and others, but they still found nothing. Nothing unusual.
"Why not?" Li Huowang stood in the lobby, frowning and thinking about these questions.
After a busy day, I found nothing except that the forest outside the village head was a little abnormal.
"Could it be that the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is in the forest just now? No, I just saw it. The village chief is surrounded by bamboo forests. If the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is hiding somewhere, it must be here."
"I turned over their family's silver, does it count?" At this time, Gouwa held some broken silver in his hand and said.
Looking at Li Huowang's eyes that shot over, Gouwa sighed helplessly, walked back dejectedly holding the money.
Looking at the dim sky outside, Li Huowang ordered again: "Go and take out the fire sickle and light the fire."
"Brother Li, didn't you tell me not to light the fire?" Bai Lingmiao asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Li Huowang narrowed his eyes slightly, and touched the row of torture instruments at his waist with his right hand.
"I just want to see what happens after I click it."
If there is only one doubtful thing in this village, it is the rules that this goatee said.
"Huh~" The candle lanterns that were found before were quickly lit, and the entire Wu family compound was brightly lit.
Li Huowang sat and waited quietly in the hall full of people, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
There is no moon today, and the sky is as dark as if covered by a **** cloth.
However, that's it, it's getting dark, but nothing happened.
"Ha~" Gouwa hiccuped and began to doze off with his back against the pillar.
Other people also seemed to be infected by him, and they all yawned.
Looking at the dazed Wu family members on the ground, Li Huowang felt a little doubt in his heart. "Am I really in the wrong place?"
Just as he was thinking this way, a playful laugh sounded from the top of the courtyard wall. "Hee hee, you broke the rules."
