Chapter 9
Ye Dan's opinion, scolding Liu can be considered as giving everyone an explanation, and the matter ends here.
But Ye Chang didn't think so.
Liu was scolded with irrelevant words. If he went to the ancestral temple to get a family law, for Ye Chang, this was a loss-making business, and he would never do it.
"The clan has a generous and kind nature, and has the spirit of an elder. He is actually a role model for me, Ye family!" First of all, Ye Chang started with a flattery, which slightly resolved Ye Dan's serious face. Then Ye Chang said: "But the nephew also has a love affair, so please report to the clan."
"explain."
"The nephew and grandson accused Aunt Changzhi of Aunt Changzhi, which was also angered for a moment, because Liu Gui, a villain, had slandered his nephew and grandson as a slave. Liu Gui was sent to his nephew yesterday and even handed over the body contract to his nephew, but he dared to say that his nephew is hiding evil intentions. He had known that there was a spring in the mountains, but he had never told everyone that he wanted everyone to suffer from disaster. This is not slandering the nephew. The reputation of our Ye family has been slandered by him!"
"Is there anything wrong?" Ye Dan's brows frowned immediately.
He was invited by Ye Lian and Liu, but Ye Lian and Liu did not mention this matter. In the big family, it is common to have evil slaves and deceive the master, but it has always been the ones who are the masters who hate the most. This is a matter that shakes the foundation of the patriarchal principles and laws!
"The head of the clan doesn't believe it. May I ask all the villagers, if it weren't for this, how dare I criticize my aunt?" Ye Chang turned to the idle people who were watching the lively with relish: "Please say justice for everyone."
"That's right, right, Liu Gui did say it just now."
Everyone was hoping that the more lively things would be, so they naturally confirmed that some people said that Liu Gui said it once. Hearing this, Ye Lian's face turned ashen, Ye Dan's expression became even more gloomy, while Liu Gui shivered.
For Liu Gui, things are going big!
He was accused of his master of a false accusation. Even if he didn't go to the government and asked to become a monk, he would be beaten to death!
"The nephew was falsely accused by him, and I don't know who was instructing him behind him, so he spoke without saying anything and offends Aunt Changzhi. I believe that Aunt Changzhi is generous and will not care about her. Zong Changren, although this guy is unrighteous, is still a dowry servant of Aunt Changzhi, and he must leave some decentness to Aunt Changzhi..."
Ye Chang kept saying that he wanted to save face for Liu, but in fact he was running Ye Dan: If he was concerned about this matter, then Liu Gui and the chief branch of the third house behind him would all bear the responsibility. If he did not care about this matter, then Ye Chang's slight mistake of disrespectful elders should also be exposed.
Ye Dan was still very unhappy, but she could only act according to Ye Chang's arrangement.
"Liu Gui, as a servant, you, you, actually said you were slanderously accused of your master. It's really a crime - come and beat me!"
Liu Gui is not a clan member, but a servant, so naturally there is no need to go to the ancestral temple to master the law. Ye Dan gave the order, and a young and strong clan came up and pushed Liu Gui to the ground. Then someone brought a stick, pulled off his pants and beat him on the butt. After a few hits, Ye Chang said, "Zheng Chan, this trick slave is slick, so he should teach him some lessons, so that he will not dare to be so mean in the future!"
"Yeah, twitch your mouth!" Ye Dan glanced at Ye Chang.
So Liu Gui was dragged up again. Someone used the hard soles to start sucking his mouth. With a whisper, although Liu Gui begged for mercy and begged Changzhi to plead for him, Changzhi Ye Lian and Liu both hated him for doing something wrong. In addition, he wanted to avoid the suspicion of making him embarrassed Ye Chang. For a moment, no one pleaded for him.
Seeing that more than a dozen shoes were whipping down, Liu Guibuwei's mouth was swollen, and even pulled out one of his teeth. Ye Dan glanced at Ye Lian and signaled that they could plead with mercy. But at this moment, Ye Chang stepped forward and saluted him again: "Captain Zong!"
"What's the matter?" Ye Dan's patience was almost wiped out. This time he came out to host the dispute among the clan, but he was awkward everywhere. He didn't know the reason yet, but one thing would be wrong, that Ye Chang played an extremely bad role in it.
"Zong Chang has always been generous and kind. This foolish slave has learned a lesson. Please spare him."
It turned out to plead for Liu Gui!
Although Ye Chang's move was beyond Ye Dan's expectations, it finally met his wish. Ye Lian, who was about to speak, had to retreat at this time.
His original plan was to take the opportunity to tell Ye Chang that Liu Gui was a bad slave and was no longer suitable for serving Ye Chang, so it would be better to return them to their long branch. From the beginning, he did not agree with sending Liu Gui to Ye Chang. This was just that Liu was so squeezed by Ye Chang and Fang. Now it was the time to get back to Liu Gui. But Ye Chang came out and completely disrupted his plan, which made him suspicious. Could it be that Ye Chang, the little beast, saw his plan?
It shouldn't be. If the little beast had such skills, it would have been long since shown, unless he really met an immortal... But when he was unconscious a few days ago, he went to see it himself, and it was clearly dying. How could this happen when he met an immortal?
Compared to this, Ye Chang's sudden plead for Liu Gui was a trivial matter.
"You plead for this foolish slave?"
"It's enough that Chief Zong teaches him a lesson and makes him dare not make any re-deal in the future. There is no one in his nephew's family and he needs manpower. Chief Zong will spare him once."
"Then it depends on you... However, if you don't respect your elders, you must pursue it. Go to the ancestral temple and kneel on your own for an hour."
Ye Dan's final decision still surprised Ye Chang.
He was also a little surprised in his heart, why Ye Dan was so cold to his encounter with immortals. Logically speaking, during this drought, he found that the spring water should have made great contributions, but Ye Dan not only did not mention this matter, but instead made things difficult for him.
Could it be said that long-term branches are bad?
It was not like this. If Changzhi Zhen had such a great influence on the sect leader, he would not have scolded Liu just now, nor would he blame Liu Gui heavily according to Ye Chang's wishes.
"What, are you going to disobey your fate?" Seeing that Ye Chang did not respond, Ye Dan hummed again.
"Yes! The nephew and grandson dare not." The hero did not suffer any loss. Now Ye Chang still needs the support of the Ye clan to gain a foothold in this era, so he respectfully agreed.
This good show ended because of this. Only Liu Gui sobbed in grievance. He looked at Ye Lian and wanted to go back to Changzhi, but Ye Lian just shook his head slightly to him and told him not to be impatient.
Ye Lian really had murderous intentions towards Ye Chang at this time.
Although Ye Lian knew about Liu's behavior before, it was not his idea. He seemed to be watching coldly. But today, when he saw Ye Chang almost turned his hands to make the clouds and rain, especially when he encountered an immortal, he could imagine that as this reputation spread, Ye Chang's influence would become greater and greater.
Who knew whether Ye Chang would hold a grudge against what happened today at that time?
An enemy is not scary, what is scary is to let the enemy grow and become a behemoth.
Ye Lian winked at Liu Gui again and signaled that he was beside Ye Chang. Liu Gui understood what he meant, so he could only endure the pain in his mouth and buttocks and followed Ye Chang.
Not only that, he also had to keep an eye on Ye Chang and inform him at any time.
Ye Chang saw these little tricks in his eyes, and also made Ye Chang understand that people like Liu Gui’s tolerance towards him is indulgence.
"Seleven Lang!"
Only then did his blood brother Ye Shu dare to come up to greet him.
Ye Chang sighed, it was no wonder that when Ye Si wanted to choose him as his heir, Ye Shu had almost no objection. This brother was really cowardly.
"Thank you for your care, brother, I'm fine. I'll kneel at the ancestral temple. This foolish slave, brother, stare at me, don't let him be lazy."
"oh."
Ye Chang went to the ancestral temple to kneel down. After an hour, the sky was already dark. When he came out, his knees were so painful that they were needle-punching. Ye Chang was secretly angry and secretly recorded the account. Xiang'er had been waiting at the door. A little maid like her could not enter the ancestral temple, so she couldn't even give him a drink. Seeing him turning and limping on the way, the little girl's eyes were blurred: "Shiyilang, are your legs okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, have you had dinner?"
"Shiyilang hasn't come back, I don't want to eat it."
"Ah, haha, don't be so stupid in the future, and you'll have to eat when the time comes." Ye Chang touched her head lovingly: "Silly girl, you can't delay eating at your age."
Xiang'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye Chang for no reason.
She felt that her little master seemed to be a little different again. She knelt in the ancestral temple for an hour, not only did she not let him lose his spirit, but instead made him feel energetic.
"Not only do we have to eat on time, but we also have three meals a day... The next goal is to have meat and vegetables every week!"
Xiao Xianger didn't understand what "every week" means, but she understood "meat and vegetable", and her eyes immediately opened.
When the Tang Dynasty was overwhelming, the nutrition of the people was not bad, but meat and vegetables were not often eaten by ordinary people in the countryside, let alone little girls like Xiao Xianger. When most people still had two meals a day, meat and vegetables were extremely tempting.
"We don't have much food in our family, and we still have to prepare for wasteland. Shiyilang, don't do anything random..." Ruo Xianger is very sensible, and he should remind Ye Chang like this at this time, but she was only nine years old. Although she understood the suffering of life better than the nine-year-old lady in later generations, now, her desire for meat and vegetables obviously made her forget the danger of eating up all the food at home.
He touched Xiang'er's head with love again, and Ye Chang moved his hands and feet to make himself energetic, and then walked towards his home.
As soon as he arrived in front of his house, he was surprised to find that dozens of people in the village were blocking his doorstep.
"Shiyilang is here, Shiyilang, drink water quickly!"
"Shiyilang, I heard that you like to collect herbs and refine pills. No, look, this is the Polygonum multiflorum I have accumulated before. Do you think it can be used? If you can use it, take it!"
"I still have a Ganoderma lucidum here. Shiyilang, don't be polite, I'll give it to you!"
As soon as he came back, everyone hugged him. Ye Chang was so dizzy that he was quarrel that he bowed: "My fellow villagers, what's the matter? Just say it, why do you have to do this?"
Everyone laughed.
After a while, the oldest Wu Yu bowed his fists and said, "Shiyilang, the immortal family enlightened you and taught you to find the spring water, but help people to the end, sending the Buddha to the west, how to lead the water to our fields, Shiyilang, you will give me some advice."
Only then did Ye Chang realize why these people came to look for him.
The amount of water in the spring was quite large. They were not paddy fields but dry land, so it was no problem to irrigate hundreds or thousands of acres of land. However, the location of the spring was very problematic. It was almost impossible to dig a canal from the place where the spring was located to dig a canal to divert water to their fields. After everyone just went to see the spring, they felt that it seemed that they could only carry the water.
Which family is not a dozen or twenty acres of land, and it is not easy to carry water by relying on its shoulders. These two or three miles of mountain roads are not easy to walk on!
Some people are still smart. They only say that since the immortal has pointed out Ye Chang's location of the spring water, they naturally have also guided him to dig water. Or Ye Chang came out to take the lead and led everyone to worship in the Medicine King Temple. The immortal has a compassion and it is not impossible to move those hills.
Ye Chang smiled slightly when he heard everyone talking about this.
For everyone, this is a trouble, but for Ye Chang, this is not a trouble. In everyone's opinion, there is only one way to dig a canal, but Ye Chang has other ideas.
When everyone saw him laughing, they suddenly felt that he had a solution. Perhaps when the Medicine King Immortal was guiding him, it was not as simple as telling him where the spring water was located.
"Shiyilang, speak quickly!"
Under the urging of everyone, Ye Chang finally nodded slightly: "It's not that there is no way, but there is never a person who gets nothing in this world. The immortals tell me where there is a spring water, but it also makes me suffer from the abscess disease."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
Although he told Xiang'er not to tell him about the incident, it was spread somehow. There was something new in such a remote village, so as long as you know it, you will definitely talk to others. Until now, almost everyone in the village knows it.
But everyone did not associate the abscess disease with his encounter with immortals. Now that he heard what he said, everyone realized that it is definitely not without a price to get guidance from the immortals.
Everyone looked at each other, and after all, the elderly man laughed and said, "This...this...Shiyilang, for the sake of the villagers, you, uh..."
Their meaning was to let Ye Chang sacrifice for the villagers, but it was difficult to say this directly, so the old man stuttered a little.
Of course Ye Chang refused, and then everyone tempted him - Ye Chang was a member of the Ye clan. These people dared not use Wei Dun. The benefits they could bring were just a little needle and thread, so Ye Chang naturally didn't take them to heart. When everyone asked for it, they wanted to kneel down. Ye Chang felt that the time was ripe and had already reached their appetite, so he said, "In fact, there is no way without the guidance of an immortal."
"Shiyilang really has a way! It's worthy of being a guide by an immortal!" All kinds of flatteries came out again.
"I have to work hard for everyone," Ye Chang said again.
"If you can attract water, it will save everyone's lives. What can you do to do your work and work?" Everyone said one after another: "Shiyilang just tells the order."
"Give it, borrow light..." Ye Chang was about to speak when suddenly he heard a voice coming from behind the crowd.
Everyone separated, Ye Dan, the chief of Ye family, walked over with his hands behind his back.
When Ye Dan was in Wuzebei, whenever he was wandering outside, he would definitely walk around with his hands behind his back. There was no reason. He went to Wu County several times and accidentally saw the county magistrate and the county magistrate in the city, and he was like this. At first, someone ridiculed him. Ye Dan said that in his early years, he saw Wu Wei, Miao Gong, who was named Jin Qing, and his name was Yuanfu, so he walked like this.
