Chapter 226: Legends

The man of the middle-aged aunt is naturally the male owner of this farmer. Hearing his wife's words, he, who had been immersed in eating, raised his head, looked at Lin Feng's Hanano Zhenxiang suspiciously, and asked, "Is there a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain?"

"That's right, there are huts at the foot of the mountain. Lin Feng smiled and nodded, and once again gave the male owner of this farmer an affirmative answer.

The man shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't know! This place is already relatively remote, although it is bordered by Binhai City, but it is not accessible, and no one has nothing to do to build a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain." ”

Generally speaking, where one city borders another, even in the suburbs, people are not too poor. Because although on the surface, this kind of boundary building place is a city that belongs to each other, but in fact, most of them belong to the two types.

So, in this kind of place, even if it is a humble village, the villagers can be quite wealthy. Because no matter what, it also represents some gray ways to make a fortune.

However, this is not the case. Because of this mountain, because there is no road, the two places here and the two places bordered by the mountain have become extremely remote and barren, and the villagers living in these two places naturally do not have that gray way to make a fortune.

It is precisely for this reason that the villagers in these two places still retain the simple folk customs, otherwise, I am afraid that they have long been corroded by banknotes and corrupted by modern life, and this simple folk customs cannot be preserved at all.

When asked this, Lin Feng didn't ask anything more. After all, it's Maka Hanano who cares about this. The reason why I helped her ask these words is also because Hanano Maka is from Japan. Lin Feng was worried that her question was too direct, which would disgust the villagers.

At this time, Hanano Maka asked: "Uncle, could it have been built by the people of your village? Is there something produced on this mountain? After the villagers of your village built it, it is convenient for them to stay at the foot of the mountain for one night when it is too late to go down the mountain?"

"There is nothing to produce in this mountain!" the middle-aged man slowly shook his head and said, "If this mountain has any special products, the villagers of our village will not all face the loess with their backs to the sky." ”

Facing the loess with his back to the sky, this is an authentic farmer. There is no other source of income except farming.

"Could it be that someone has discovered that there is something produced on this mountain?" Hanano Maka asked again: "I deliberately blocked this news so that you wouldn't know about it, and I sneaked up the mountain myself?"

Hearing Hanano's words, the middle-aged man put down the rice bowl in his hand, laughed heartily, and said, "If that's the case, just let him go up the mountain." Girl, do you know what this mountain is called?"

The middle-aged aunt poured water into the water cup in front of her man, and said, "Yes, do you know what this mountain is called?"

Hanano Maka nodded, pointed at Lin Feng, and said, "I know, I heard him say that this mountain is called Wolf Mountain." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Since you know this name, you must know the reason why this mountain is called this name?"

"I heard that in the past, this mountain was full of wolves, and the whole mountain was a wolf's den, so it was called Wolf Mountain. Lin Feng nodded and said, "I don't know if this statement is accurate?"

"Exactly. The middle-aged man nodded, with a look of reminiscence, and said: "This mountain is an authentic wolf mountain, and there are many holes in the mountain, all of which are wolf dens. When I was a teenager and a child, there were wolves on this mountain! Later, when the wolves were exterminated, the wolf howls were no longer heard here! In the past, at night, the wolf howls here were literally one after another. ”

"Huh?" Hanano Maka looked surprised and asked, "Uncle, is this true? Then you are too bold, aren't you? This place is only about ten kilometers away from the foot of the mountain, right? If you live here, you are not afraid of wolves?"

"I'm afraid!" said the middle-aged uncle with a smile: "Why aren't you afraid? However, the formation of this village was only more than ten years ago. In the past, our village was more than ten kilometers away, but the earthquake that year destroyed the village. Later, I found such a relatively flat place nearby and moved over. However, it is getting closer and closer to Wolf Mountain. ”

"I see. Hanano Maka looked suddenly enlightened, and then changed the topic and asked, "Uncle, just now you said that the wolves were exterminated?"

This seems to be a topic that is not related to the wind and horses, but Hanano Maka quickly captures the middle-aged man with a look of reminiscence and happiness on his face when he talks about wolves.

If you want to listen to more people, you have to start with the topics that people are interested in, so that you can slowly lead the topic to what you want to know.

If you ask something abruptly as soon as you come up, it is easy to arouse people's vigilance.

Sure enough, hearing Hanano Maka's words, an unbearable look appeared on the middle-aged man's face, sighed, and said: "Yes, the government sent troops to bring guns back then, and the guns rang out all night, and the terrible wolf howls also rang all night. It wasn't a normal wolf howl, but a terrible scream. ”

After a pause, the middle-aged man sighed again and said, "Looking back now, I still think that scream is very terrifying! In fact, this kind of mountain that is not often climbed, and it is not an accident that there are a few wolves on the mountain. It's just that the wolves in Wolf Mountain are packed.

However, by the time I was a teenager, the wolves weren't as big as they used to be. After all, society has been developing, and it is also more or less affected, and the living environment of the wolves is threatened, and they themselves have migrated. There are only a handful of wolves left that haven't moved away. Besides, they never go down the mountain into the village, and the wolf hunting activity back then was really too much.

Some people even say that the earthquake was the retribution of our village because of the extermination of the wolves. You don't know, although other villages were also damaged by the earthquake, the damage was not so big, but in our village, the houses in the whole village were destroyed, and the most people were injured and died. Hey, maybe this is retribution. ”

"It has nothing to do with retribution. Lin Feng said: "Besides, even if it is retribution, it should not be retribution on the villagers, didn't the government send troops to exterminate the wolves?"

"It was the villagers who led the way up the mountain. The middle-aged man whispered, seemingly reluctant to mention this.

The middle-aged aunt looked like she wanted to say something at this time, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say it, because when her eyes looked at her man, she was full of awe, as if what she wanted to say had to be allowed by her man before she dared to say it.

In fact, most rural women are very talkative. To put it more thoroughly, I prefer to talk about some topics that are short and right and wrong. Even if it involves other people, they will talk about topics that should not be said, and they will never get tired of it......

"Auntie, what do you want to say?" Hanano Maka looked at Lin Feng, Lin Feng nodded silently, and Hanano Maka asked this out.

"Nothing, nothing. The middle-aged aunt replied immediately, but her eyes were at her man, as if she was afraid that he would get angry.

The middle-aged man looked at his wife with a smile and said, "Do you want to talk about those legends again? It's really a lot of things for rural mothers-in-law! Let's talk, let's talk, this is not something that can't be said, anyway, it's been so many years, and the original site of the village has been destroyed by the earthquake." ”

"Oh!" The middle-aged aunt seemed to have received an amnesty, and agreed, and then said to Hanano Maka: "You don't know why our head of the family doesn't want to mention this, it's because according to ancient legends, the wolves are on this wolf mountain to guard the tomb of an ancient general!"

According to legend, this general was very powerful, and before he died, he drove spells, summoned wolves, and imprisoned them on the wolf mountain to guard his tomb. ”

All such legends are generally very unreliable, but Hanano Maka showed a strong interest and asked, "This is quite a strange legend." ”

"yes. The middle-aged aunt said: "This is also the legend why the wolves never go down the mountain to harass the nearby villages! Otherwise, what can the wolves eat on the mountain? But I have lived here for decades, and when I was young, when the wolves on the wolf mountain were still very large, I lived near the wolf mountain, and I could always hear the wolves bark at night, but I had never seen the wolves come down the mountain into the village. ”

"Uh......" Lin Feng asked in amazement: "Auntie, the uncle just said that when he was a teenager, the wolves in Wolf Mountain were exterminated, you said that you lived here for a long time, is there something wrong with the time when you married your uncle?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's normal for us to get married, it's your aunt who lived nearby before she married me." Living here, the daughter-in-law you marry can't be far away, haha!"

Speaking of which, the middle-aged man burst out laughing.

Lin Feng touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, because he had misunderstood......

The middle-aged aunt also smiled and said, "No, I lived in a village not far from this village before I married your uncle. At that time, I was also young, and at night, the howl of wolves on Wolf Mountain was really clear. ”

"It's just a legend, something that can't be confirmed. Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the middle-aged aunt had a serious look on her face and said, "Then you are wrong, there was a heavy rain a few years ago, and I washed down from the mountain......

"Ahem, cough, cough!" The middle-aged man's cough sounded at this time, and the middle-aged aunt's words stopped abruptly, and then covered her mouth with a bald expression......

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, and then, Hanano Masaka also laughed, this rural couple is so cute......
