Chapter 329: Zheng Village Qinglong

Zheng Xiaowen just understood a little bit, and she hurriedly came to the courtyard behind her. She stood in the courtyard and looked at the scene in front of her, this time, she was really stunned......

The woman standing in the courtyard, about forty years younger, dressed in the peasant costume of the Qing Dynasty, looked neat and tidy. She looks, from height, fat and thinness to appearance, very much like her mother.

When she saw the woman, she smiled and said to her, 'Son, my mother has already cooked a meal, what are you going out to do without eating, hehe, go, go to the east house to eat.' ’

Zheng Xiaowen came into the east wing, she felt that the environment was very familiar, and there was no sense of restraint, she sat down and ate.

Zheng Xiaowen thought to himself while eating: I don't know to myself like this, how can I speak in this family in the future? Look at this, if I want to figure out my own situation, I can't pretend to have amnesia, I have to put the words out, so that I can know how I should speak. That way, I can stay here. Otherwise...... No, hurry up!

Zheng Xiaowen thought: This person who looks very much like his mother, calls himself a son, and claims to be a mother, then I must be her child, and I am a child dressed as a man. She must be my mother. Then I'll try to call it and see how this mother reacts.

After eating, Zheng Xiaowen shouted: "Mother." ’

The woman who looked like Zheng's mother quickly laughed and said, "Son, if you have something, just say it, mother." ’

Zheng Xiaowen said in his heart: It's settled, this person who is like my mother is my mother. She said, 'Mother, I'm a girl, why do I always wear boy-like clothes?'

When my mother heard this, her expression became serious, and she said, "Don't ask about this now, when you grow up, my mother will tell you again." ’

When Zheng Xiaowen heard this, he felt relaxed for a while, and said in his heart: This is easy to do, it seems that the people in this family have not yet told their daughters why they wear the secret of boys' clothes. If I stop and ask any more questions, I won't be exposed.

Zheng Xiaowen then thought to himself: Since it is to call her mother, she must be called father to her father. Yes, yes, the people who are a little older in the private school alley are all called daddy and mother to their parents. Then she asked, 'Mother, what about my father?'

My mother said, 'Someone from the village came to call you father, and your father went to someone else's house.' ’

Zheng Xiaowen thought in his heart: Since I am a child, then I can be coquettish. If you want to ask, if you ask it, you won't show your flaws.

Zheng Xiaowen immediately swayed his body, and said with a coquettish expression: "Mother, I have grown into a big child, and I know everything, so my mother said to me, why do I wear boy's clothes!"

The mother said, 'How can you grow into an adult before you are yet twelve years old?' Your father said that you will not be able to tell you this secret until you are fifteen years old. You are a girl's business, and the whole village, as far as your father and mother and you know, there is no fourth person who knows about it. Son, keeping this secret is good for our family, so don't ask again in the future. ’

Zheng Xiaowen said: 'Mother, should this person know secrets, should not be divided by age, should be, should be divided by smart and foolish. That fool, no matter how old he is, he still doesn't understand anything.

'Your smart daughter, I, don't say I'm eleven or twelve years old now, mother, I'll be honest with you, when I was eight or nine years old, I understood everything. If my mother tells me this secret now, I will be able to protect our family as soon as possible, which will be more beneficial to our family. ’

The mother thought about it: That is, this Zhengcun town is so big and there are so many people, depending on whose children, how many of them are smarter than my Xiaowen, it is better to tell my daughter.

My mother thought about it and said, "It's okay to say it to you, but the two of us have to keep it secret, don't tell your father yet." The thing that is kept secret from you is what your father said, and if you let your father know, your father will be angry and complain about me. ’

When Zheng Xiaowen heard this, she was happy and said, 'Please rest assured, my daughter promises not to tell her father!'

Zheng Xiaowen followed her mother to the upper room, and she was very familiar with the furnishings in the upper room. She followed her mother into the Xili room.

The mother said, 'Let's lie on your bed, and I will tell you what I want to say to you, and I will tell you from the roots.' ’

Zheng Xiaowen looked at this upper room and felt very similar to the furnishings she saw when she was a child, and felt very warm, so she took off her shoes and said to the bed: "Mother, say it, I listened carefully, patiently, and carefully." ’

The mother looked at her lovely daughter, was happy, went to her daughter's side, and began to talk in detail:

'Our Zhengcun Town, a long time ago, it was called Zhengcun, but later the village was bigger, there were more people, and there were people who bought and sold things, and it became a market town.

'Our Zheng Village, the village is five miles long from east to west, north and south. The village is so big, it is because there is a five-mile dragon ditch in the east of the village. The elders have said that there was a green dragon growing in this five-mile dragon ditch. At the beginning, this green dragon was very small, but when the green dragon grew up, he took off to the Heavenly Hongjun Ancestor. Son, do you know Hongjun Ancestor?'

Zheng Xiaowen hurriedly replied: "I know, it's the God of Yuanyang." Qinglong is the bodyguard of the god of Yuanyang. Mother, you said this, I think, at that time, it may be that the green dragon came to the nether realm to save the catastrophe, and the catastrophe was full and returned to heaven again. ’

The mother said happily, 'My son is wise, and even knows this.' You have read the books for the past few years, and you really haven't read them in vain. ’

Zheng Xiaowen thought: Oh, it turns out that I was studying in school, I remembered.

The mother said, 'Son, if you know everything, my mother will explain it to you a little more.' People in this radius of 100 miles know that in our Zhengcun Town, there is a matter of the green dragon going to heaven. Dragon, auspicious, auspicious, who doesn't look forward to their own child Jackie Chan? Hey? It's really auspicious, since our five-mile dragon ditch, after the green dragon went to the sky, we Zheng Village, there is a family's child champion and first!

'I heard the elders say that when the champion went home to worship his ancestors, our Zheng Village was lively. Later, his family moved to the capital and only returned once a year. This is all said by the old generation, and then the village changed a lot, and no one mentioned them anymore.

It's just that since the first champion appeared, in a few years in Zhengcun, there have been those who have been admitted to Xiucai, and there are also those who have been admitted to the Juren. The whole village said that this was a blessing from Qinglong to our Zheng villagers. ’

Zheng Xiaowen said: "Mother, if this is really the case, I think, the people of Zheng Village really enjoy the blessing of the green dragon." You think, people have kindness to people, and remember to repay, then the green dragon is a god, the power of the god is very great, if the god wants to help people, it may be very easy to help. ’

The mother continued: "Our Zheng Village can expand to such a big size, because people from afar have fled the famine, and some people are homeless, they all inquired and came to our Zheng Village, and slowly settled down. A long time ago, there was only one street in our Zheng Village. The residents on this street are slowly living in a five-mile long house, and the patriarch of the village is not allowed to build a house on this street.

What if the boys have a few children in the house, and they want to divide the family? Then they will expand and build houses on the south and north sides of this street, and the village will form a neat street. The street leads to another street, not only at the edge of the village, but also from street to street, not far apart, there is a road that communicates.

I heard from the elders that until one year, the houses in the south, south, and northwest of the village were enough to measure five miles long from east to west and north to south. One morning, the people living on the edge of the village were shocked and happy. It turned out that overnight, a high city wall was built around the village, and the city gates of the other three parties were not very large, and the city gate on the east city wall was tall and sturdy and beautiful. ’

Zheng Xiaowen said: "Mother, there is such a strange thing? It's really unthinkable, let alone seeing it with your own eyes." ’

The mother said, 'Now there is that wall on the edge of the village, and anyone can see it.' My mother hasn't finished speaking, you listen, a long time ago, there was a river in the distance outside the village, that is, on the night of the city wall, I don't know who dug a mouth in that river, and the river water flowed down the dug mouth to the outside of our Zheng village, circled around the city wall, and flowed into the downstream of the river.

On the night of the wall, there was a gate, a moat, and a beautiful and strong bridge over the moat outside the gate. The people in the village said that this was the ancestor of Hongjun, remembering that the people of Zheng Village protected the green dragon, so they built the city wall and dug the moat to protect the people of Zheng Village. ’

Zheng Xiaowen said: "Mother, the green dragon is not a human body, but a dragon body to the lower realm, it is a dragon, the green dragon has grown from small to large, it must have grown very thick and long, how can people protect it?"

The mother said: "I heard from the elders that on the day when the green dragon landed in the lower realm from the sky, many people in the village saw it, saying that the green dragon happened to fall into Wuligou, which is very close to the village. Said it didn't rain on those days and the ground was dry. It is said that dragons need water, and the whole village went out to carry water and sprinkle it on the green dragon. Children who can't pick up water carry small buckets or carry small basins to sprinkle water on the green dragon.

I heard that it had rained heavily for a few days, but the rain ran down the ditch. The people of Zheng Village built a low embankment at the mouth of the low-lying ditch, which means that as long as the rain is enough for the green dragon. If it rains too much, the excess rainwater will flow away over the embankment. ’

When Zheng Xiaowen heard this, she lay down on the bed and said, 'Ouch, there is really such a thing, there are too many kind-hearted people in this village, it's so good!'

The mother said: 'The talents and people in our village are all said to be related to Qinglong. He also said that all the people who came to settle down in our Zheng Village, don't look at it as asking for food or fleeing, they are all good people in their roots, and they are all guided by Qinglong.

'The territory of our Zheng Village is so big, there are so many people, there are city walls, and there is a moat, until now no one has called this Zheng Village Zhengcheng, because there is a set here, so it is called Zhengcun Town.

The people surnamed Zheng in this village only account for half of the population of the village, but those who come from outside respect the people with the surname Zheng, and there are many well-connected families who intermarry. Our Zheng Village is really beneficial, on the sixth, sixteenth, and twenty-sixth days of each month, three sets. There are two meetings every year, April 20 and October 9. Even if these are not the busy farming seasons, children do not go to school. ’
