"This lake can give the dead a rest, hey, don't you bury those who died in the lake?" Lu Xiufeng asked.

"Really. Miao Qingfeng said after being silent for a while, but the smile on his face was gone, replaced by seriousness.

"But I remember that there were still a lot of graves on that hill. After hearing this, Yang Guanfeng pointed to the mountain peak diagonally opposite, they saw it when they went up last time, and they also saw it when they went up this time, and Miao Qingfeng also said that it was the place where the deceased in the village were buried.

"This, first, depends on the will of the deceased, and secondly, it depends on his identity. ”

"This depends on the identity, how do you say this?"

"Most of the women are buried in the lake, and most of the men are buried in the mountains. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"What's the burial method?"

"Make a bamboo raft, let the deceased lie on it, and then float quietly on the lake. ”

"And then it doesn't matter?"

"Yes. ”

"Well, to put it mildly to the dead, did they all end up in the belly of the fish?" Lu Xiufeng said.

After he said this, the corners of Yang Guanfeng's mouth twitched.

"You really dare to say anything!"

"Hehe, there's nothing wrong with understanding it this way, this way is like being in Tibet, don't they still hold a sky burial, and then those eagles will deal with it in the end, isn't it?" Miao Qingfeng said, "Besides, this custom is basically abolished now, unless someone specifically asks for it, we will all carry out burials." "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"Really?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh, who's the last person to be buried in the lake, and when?"

"I have the impression of an old man in the village, about four months ago. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"Well, okay, thank you. Lu Xiufeng said.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Grunt, the fish drifter moved.

"The fish is hooked. Lu Xiufeng shouted happily, raised the rod, and then caught a fish more than a foot long, and under his eyes, the scales shone brightly.

"Well, yes, yes. He laughs.

"Hey, what was the old man's age when he died?"

"One hundred and two. ”

"Wow, Gao Shou!" Lu Xiufeng exclaimed. "Are there many old people in your village?"

"Many, the environment in our village is good, the pace of life is slow, basically every family knows a little bit of medical skills, pay attention to health, so there are a lot of long-lived people, I haven't done any statistics, but I think the average life expectancy of people in our village is estimated to be more than ninety, like the old man, in fact, it is not considered an advanced age. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"I'm going, is it so powerful, is there any unique secret, hey, are there any fairy grasses that are said to be immortal if you eat them in the deep mountains and old forests, such as thousand-year-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and the like?"

Miao Qingfeng was directly stunned after hearing this.

"Ahh

"Didn't you?"

"I don't know if there are other places, we don't have them in the village, thousands of years of ginseng, He Shou Wu, not to mention a thousand years, that is, a hundred years, they are all very rare elixirs, which can be called heavenly treasures. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"Hey, then why is there any elixir or anything like that in this place, which can prolong people's lives after eating them, and they won't get sick?"

"Elixir, hahaha. Miao Qingfeng laughed out loud after hearing this.

"If there is such a thing, if there is, I will be the first to find a way to get it and eat it. ”

"Oh, tsk, to be honest, I'm under a lot of pressure at work, and I feel like my health is getting worse and worse, and I don't think it's a blessing to live to be 100 years old, but to be able to live to be 80 years old. Lu Xiufeng said.

"I look at Captain Lu, it is the appearance of longevity. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"yes, you still look at faces?"

"I know a little bit, I am self-taught. ”

"Look at him, then. Lu Xiufeng pointed at Yang Guanfeng.

"Captain Yang is also a man of longevity. Miao Qingfeng said with a smile.

Yang Guanfeng just smiled after hearing this, but he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't take it seriously.

"Hey, there's another fish bite. "As soon as Lu Xiufeng raised his fishing rod, he was another big fish.

"Hey, that's a lot of luck today!"

"Hey, is this fish delicious?"

"It's delicious, steamed, fried, boiled, and it tastes very delicious, and that's how we had the fish a few times. Miao Qingfeng said with a smile.

"That's good, let you try my craft today. ”

"Captain Lu or a master cook?"

"I can't talk about the master, but I have a set of fish, I have a treat at noon, no, borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Lu Xiufeng said.

"Please Mr. Miao must appreciate it. ”

"Yes, definitely, definitely. Miao Qingfeng said with a smile.

In the morning, the three of them talked and laughed, basically did not ask anything related to this case, but talked a lot.

"Unexpectedly, Brother Miao, your knowledge is so extraordinary, you must have been to a lot of places, right?" It's only been a morning, through in-depth exchanges, heart-to-heart communication, this title has changed, and I call him brother directly.

"My brother has won the prize. ”

"Listening to your insight, you must have been to a lot of places, right?"

"Well, I actually go out a few times a year. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"Oh, so it's not like this village doesn't really communicate with the outside world, it's just very rare, right?"

"Yes, in this society now, how can it be completely isolated from the world, and we are not the kind of peach blossom source that Tao Yuanming wrote. Miao Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, if such a good place is really isolated from the world and doesn't communicate at all, it's a pity for him, hey, you have such a good scenery here, why don't you engage in a tourist vacation project, now this is very popular, there are rich people outside, like this unpolluted place, such a paradise, it is very attractive to those of them. ”

"Brother Lu, what about us, we just want to live so peacefully, we don't want to be disturbed by outsiders, in fact, this is our living habits that have been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been integrated into our bones, I have been outside, I have been exposed to the richness and variety of big cities, and at the beginning I also felt very fresh and exciting, better than in the village, but after a long time, I will feel that this kind of life in the village is good. We are self-sufficient, we grow and breed our own food, we can diagnose and treat ourselves when we are sick, the environment here is good, the interpersonal relationship in the village is good, very harmonious, not so indifferent outside, what do you do outside, what do you do to make so much money?"

"Doesn't anyone want to go out?" Yang Guanfeng interjected.

"Yes, how can it not, everyone has their own thoughts, some people go out, but there are rules in our village, you can go out, you can come back to visit your parents, but you can't bring people from outside, and people who go out can't marry girls in the village, and they can't marry men in the village, unless both of them go out, and they have to be removed from the family tree. "Miao Qingfeng.

"Well, that's a bit too much, isn't it?"

"Still. Miao Qingfeng was very sure.

"In the past few years since I went out, I have turned around a lot of places, those former pure lands, since the commercial operation, have become mundane, lost the original peace and simplicity, most of the people who originally lived there have also changed, in fact, their lives are not so happy, I have talked to them, they want to go back to the old state of life, but they can't go back. It's like a tank of water that is very clean, you put a few drops of ink into it, and it's easy to add the drops, but if you want to separate them out and restore them to the original purity, it's very difficult, it's basically impossible. Miao Qingfeng said.

"I love this village, this is my hometown, I hope it can continue to maintain this simplicity, this nostalgia, not affected by the materialism outside. When he said this, he was very serious and serious.

"Well, I can understand your thoughts. Lu Xiufeng patted him on the shoulder.

In fact, he has also been to a lot of places, such as Shangri-La, such as the ancient city of Phoenix, what has become of it now, how many things are left from the past, some things are not measured by money, and some things can never be made up once they are lost.

"Patriarch Miao thinks so too, right?"

"Yes, that's what the patriarch thinks, and that's what he does, and he's a staunch enforcer and defender of the ancient rules. "Miao Qing Fengdao.

"Sometimes, it's even a little impersonal. ”

"Yes, if you really meet him when you are unkind, don't you hate him?"

"How is it possible, in fact, some people in the village left because of the patriarch. Miao Qingfeng said, "He will never be accommodating on some issues." ”

"Ah, no retreat from the question of principle?"

"Yes. ”

"People who stand up to their principles are very rare everywhere. Lu Xiufeng said.

"yes!"

"Alright, that's all for this morning, thank you. ”

"You're welcome. ”

"Don't forget to come for fish at noon, and it would be nice if you could bring two bottles. ”

"Definitely. ”

The two of them carried a bamboo basket, which contained a few fish that they had caught this morning, and after returning to their residence, Lu Xiufeng was really busy, packing up the fish and preparing to make lunch.

"You can really entertain them with fish from other people's homes. ”

"What then, I can't invite them out to dinner, it's five hours away from the nearest hotel, right?"

"Five and a half. ”

"That's it, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, besides, my approach is different from theirs, you can see it!"

Lu Xiufeng was busy with the bell.

At noon, Miao Qingfeng came to their residence with a jar of wine, only to see a few dishes on the table, two of which were fish, one was braised and one was boiled, exuding an attractive aroma, and the other two dishes were fried vegetables.
