Chapter 317: Taiping Village is not peaceful
It was the first time I had felt something so old, and when my fingers touched the scroll of the Holy Decree, it felt like I had traveled through time......
It's a pity that these people are not as good-looking as the characters in the TV series, and the clothes are not as gorgeous as in the TV series, but they are more realistic. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
These images kept passing through my mind like a movie, and I was transported back to the Qing Dynasty in China more than 100 years ago...... As Shao Jianhua said, his ancestor is called Shao Zhilan, a scholar in the official cabinet, with a wife and a concubine in the family, and two sons and a daughter under his knees.
Shao Zhilan can be said to be a meticulous career all his life, and he was once the prince of the year and the teacher of the current emperor, so before his retirement, the emperor of the current dynasty retained his original rank treatment, and also bought real estate and land for him in his hometown in Guangdong, so that he could live for his old age.
It's a pity that Shao Zhilan died of illness a few years after returning to his hometown, and before he died, he asked his family to use a piece of land given by the emperor as his cemetery, and then Shao Zhilan's children and grandchildren were also buried in it.
This land was also seen by a feng shui master back then, although there was no royal spirit in this land, but as a piece of yin house land, it will also be able to bless the descendants. This piece of land sits in the north and faces south, and there is a big mountain behind it, which looks like a Buddha statue lying on its side from a distance.
When I saw the mountain, I immediately knew that this was the point I wanted to see, so I immediately took out a pen and paper and drew a simple shape of the mountain on it. Although my painting foundation is too poor, I can draw a little bit like it.
Shao Jianhua has never lived in Guangdong, China, so naturally he can't tell what kind of mountain this mountain is, and we are not Cantonese, so if you want to know what kind of mountain this mountain is and where it is, you must ask a local person.
Because Shaw Brothers has several factories in Guangdong, Shao Jianhua entrusted this matter to Sun Pengfei, the person in charge of these factories. Early the next morning, Sun Pengfei personally drove to the hotel to pick up the three of us, and hired a senior tour guide Liu Lan from a travel company to go with us to find the mountain like a sleeping Buddha.
When Liu Lan saw the picture of the mountain I had drawn, she was not sure which mountain was nearby, so she took a picture with her mobile phone and sent it to another colleague of hers.
When I heard Taiping Village, I thought the name was very interesting, so I smiled and said to Liu Lan: "This name is good, it is very peaceful when I hear it." ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Lan shook her head again and again and said, "Then you are wrong, not only is it not peaceful here, but it is also full of disasters...... Hey, you'll find out when you go. ”
So a few of us drove to a place called Taiping Village in Zhenbian County, along the way we had a meal and heard Liu Lan say that because it is close to Fujian, the local dialect here is different from Cantonese, and outsiders usually can't understand it.
I thought to myself, it doesn't make a difference to me, I don't understand it anyway......
Finally, we arrived at Zhenping County at more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, this Zhenping County can be said to be surrounded by mountains, our car walked on the road between the mountains, and the surrounding scenery was really beautiful.
During this time, we saw some nearby villagers doing farm work in the fields, so Liu Lan got out of the car and asked them about the specific location of Pingtai Village. Unexpectedly, those people waved their hands at her again and again, and said a lot of things to her that we didn't understand.
Later, Liu Lan returned to the car and told us that these people had told her the location of Taiping Village, but they all advised us not to go, saying that that the place was very evil and that no one should enter.
Li Li listened to it and said curiously: "Oh, I don't know what kind of evil method it is, you might as well talk about it......
Liu Lan's mouth was dry, so she took out a bottle of mineral water, opened the lid and took a sip before saying to us: "It turns out that this Taiping Village was moved away in response to the government's call as early as the late 90s of the last century. Of course, the reason why the government at that time wanted to move the villagers here was mainly because the population of the village was not large, and it was not enough for the population of a natural village, so it had to move the remaining families to other nearby villages. ”
When Uncle Li heard this, he was even more puzzled and said, "The population is not large, so what about the villagers before that, where did they go?"
Liu Lan spread her hands and said, "It's dead." ”
"All dead?" I said, surprised.
Liu Lan nodded and said, "Well, it's all dead! Don't look at this village called Taiping Village, it's actually not peaceful at all!"
According to what Liu Lan learned, the name of this Taiping Village was changed after the liberation, and it seemed to be called Lotus Village before, and just now those villagers told her that this was a feng shui treasure in the Qing Dynasty, and there were a lot of people in Lotus Village. Later, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there was a drought here, and the farmers in the field had no harvest for almost three years, and many poor villagers did not survive, and their families starved to death.
Later, after the drought was overcome, the plague began to break out in the village again, and Lang Zhong in the village did not know what this disease was, and he did not know how to treat it at all. Later, two missionaries from England came and they said that the disease was called malaria, and that they had to take their Western medicine to cure it.
But the villagers at that time were very superstitious, and they didn't dare to eat the "ghost medicine" of these two foreign devils.
As a result, the old lady really improved within a few days of taking the medicine, and she didn't pull or vomit or have a fever, so the remaining villagers dared to take the medicine. By this time, however, almost a third of the people in the village had died, and many of them had even died.
After the liberation, the government changed the new name of Taiping Village to this village, hoping to have a good fortune and make this village peaceful from now on...... It's a pity that the wish is good, but the end result is not satisfactory.
At the end of the sixties, the area was hit by a once-in-a-century flood, which caused a landslide that swallowed up half of the village in an instant. Although the remaining half of the village survived, they still lived in fear all day long.
The people of the village gradually discovered that there were more cemeteries outside the village than the population of the village, so many people moved their families and never returned. As more and more people moved out, more and more houses were left vacant, and in the end they were almost empty.
