"How about Ruoyu, do you still like my hometown?"

"yes, I like it. ”

Liu Ruoyu pulled the hair around her ears in a variety of ways, "The folk customs here are simple, the environment is beautiful, if you can live here, you won't be a big happy thing in life." ”

"Is that really the case?"

Liu Ruoyu stared at the green mountains and green waters in the distance with burning eyes, "Is this really !!"

The voice is firm and thorough, listening to Mo Ye's ears, it is like a heavenly sound, making people feel happy and comfortable.

The two of them held hands, wandering aimlessly in the village, at this moment, the slanting sunset swayed down, shining on the two, stretching the shadows of the two extremely long, extremely long, this picture is extremely serene, extremely beautiful.

Everyone in the village stared at them with envy, like the two of them who were golden boys and girls.

These two people are really a good match when they stand together.

The two were whispering something. Suddenly, I saw from a distance, a beggar-like figure came crookedly.

The man was about sixty or seventy years old, and looked yellow-skinned and skinny. The upper body was actually wearing a dirty and torn cotton jacket, and the lower body was actually wearing a lady's denim skirt, the whole body was tattered, the black and dirty face was covered with dust, and the silver hair was messy, like a chicken nest, and there were a few strands of silver long hair hanging on the forehead, strands by strands, like small snakes.

His shoes were worn out, and even the toes of his toes were leaking out, and he staggered over to this side, using a branch as a crutch.

Seeing this sloppy and sloppy beggar walking over from place to place, Mo Xie hurriedly stepped forward and beckoned, "Brother Shu, where are you from? Where are you going?"

This middle-aged man, his face was covered with dust, the wrinkles on his face were deeply embedded in his face like a ravine, and there were only three or four teeth in his mouth, and few of them hung there, and before he could get close, the stench on his body had been extinguished, which was disgusting.

This image is even more miserable than that of a beggar.

In Mo Ye's memory, this man who called himself a tree has always been like this, and the old people in the village don't know his specific age.

It is only said that when they were young, this man who called himself a tree was already like this, and now those old people are old, only this man who calls himself a tree is still this image, which has not changed for many years.

Therefore, no matter the old people in the village, or the young people, or even children, they all call him Brother Shu, so people are crazy all the year round, and others give him nicknames: Hongyi, Supermaster, Dog Leftover, in fact, to put it bluntly, these are all people who look down on him, see him crazy, and some stupid fools, so they give him an infamy.

Mo Xie pitied him since he was a child, often gave him a few pieces of candy when he was a child, and even stole the steamed buns from the family to him, he always smirked at Mo Ye.

Now that he sees Brother Shu again, Mo Ye actually feels quite nostalgic, and even feels like he is back to the past.

But I saw this crazy and stupid fool, holding on to the branch, limping over.

Mo Xie hurriedly went up and handed him a cigarette to light up.

saw this fool's cloudy eyes purring around, and finally fixed his eyes on Mo Ye's body.

Mo Xie hurriedly nodded and bowed, and respectfully called Brother Shu.

But seeing that this fool took a puff of cigarette carefully, his cloudy eyes stared at Mo Xie, and he also looked up and down.

Somehow nodded, and shook his head regretfully, as if there was some admiration, and there seemed to be some regret.

His mouth was muddy and muttered something, and he gradually drifted away.

Leaving only the muddy voice, gradually coming from a distance, Mo Ye listened to it but couldn't hear it really, vaguely like "sawing willows in the river, there is a place to stand but no place to sit, the clouds want to dress and flowers want to look, the spring breeze blows Revlon, haha...... Saw willow in the river, there is no place to sit out, it's a pity...... It's a pity ......."

The crazy tree brother gradually walked away, and the stupid words sent by the breeze gradually became almost inaudible, "Sawing willows in the river? There is a place to stand but no place to sit? What are you talking about?

Mo Xie muttered a few words in a low voice, which is indeed unknown!

"Brother Mo, who is he?"

Liu Ruoyu watched curiously as the crazy ones walked away.

It looks like a crazy man. For some reason, it always seems a little weird and unclear, so it always feels like something is wrong.

Mo Xie quietly watched Brother Shu drift away.

"He's a madman in my village, and he's nicknamed Brother Shu!"

Mo Ye's eyes were heavy: "But in my opinion, things are not so simple, the old people in the village have a lot of respect for him, those centenarians call him the village keeper, and also call him the spirit man." ”

Liu Ruoyu was a little curious: "What is a village guard, and what is a town spirit person?"

"The village keeper or the town spirit person, in fact, is the literal meaning, in fact, it is the person who guards a village, if you study it carefully, this kind of protection is not to defend by force or financial relief, but they suppress the inexplicable luck, and defend the party with luck. ”

As he spoke, Mo Xie took a deep breath: "I have heard the grandfather in the village say that Brother Shu is unfathomable, when he was young, Brother Shu was already like this, and now Grandpa Tai is a hundred years old, Brother Shu is still like this, no one knows how old he really is?

It is said that a person like him was a fierce and evil person in his previous life, and he was chosen by God, with five evils and three deficiencies, and in this life the three souls went to one, and the seven spirits went to two, and they were taken by the way of heaven, and I don't know where they went. Therefore, such a person is crazy by nature, kind, has no desires, and guards one side. In order to repay the karmic debts of the previous life, so it is passed down from generation to generation. ”

Mo Ye's eyes were deep, and he looked deeply at Brother Shu who was far away, "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is rumored that this kind of person made a major mistake in his previous life, which caused the anger of Heaven and the anger of people and gods. Whenever there is a catastrophe in the place where the town is guarded, or an earthquake, or a flood, or an epidemic, or a huge blood and light disaster, it is all blocked by people like Brother Shu to eliminate the disaster, therefore, they are the village keepers or the town spirit people, the so-called five evils and three deficiencies, in fact, there is a deep meaning, the five disadvantages refer to widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability. The three deficiencies refer to the lack of money, life, and power. It is said that such a person will not live too long, and he will not have friends, he can only be ridiculed by the world, even if he can barely live to old age, it is alone and lonely to old age, but for some reason, Brother Shu can live so long! Maybe he has other mysteries. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Ye was still embarrassed.

Maybe the old lady's words were exaggerated, but he saw it with his own eyes.

Since he was a child, Brother Shu has always been like this, and now he has grown up to more than 20 years, and Brother Shu is still this crazy appearance, it seems that the years have not carved any traces on his body.
