CHAPTER XV
But soon they found out that they were wrong, although the ice lump was large, it fell lightly on the body, and it didn't hurt at all, and the temperature was high, and the falling ones quickly melted, and the crystal water seeped into the dirt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
That's when they realized they were saved!
The hail was not long under the hail, but the amount was very large, they focused on the dampness and coldness of the place, and it took a long time for anyone to react, those ice cubes were not ordinary ice cubes at all, but the shape of flowers, one person said this, and everyone remembered it, and they all sincerely believed that it was the gods who were helping them, and their hard days were coming to an end!
After that day, they had a few heavy rains here, and the drought was quickly alleviated, and after everyone's life improved, they thanked God for their grace and pooled their money to buy a crystal clear stone, and carved an ice flower according to the appearance in their memories and enshrined it.
Since then, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing.
After a few years, a couple came to the village, they rarely had outsiders come in, and the couple was very easy-going, especially the wife, who was as beautiful as a fairy but gentle and kind, and everyone received them warmly, and in the conversation, they mentioned the strange things of a few years ago.
The husband and wife offered to see the ice flowers they worshipped, and of course they were very happy, but when the two of them saw it, they were like great enemies, and asked them to destroy it quickly and stop worshipping.
Of course, they would not listen, and when asked the husband and wife for their reasons, they only said that it was a bad thing and could not be kept, but how could the villagers who benefited from it believe it, but instead began to think that there was something wrong with the couple, they offended the gods, and some even began to issue eviction orders.
The couple was originally just passing by, and when they came, they said that they would only stay for three or two days, but after this incident, they didn't leave, and they had to listen to them, and they couldn't persuade them, and even secretly went to steal.
This angered everyone, and they decided that they were evil spirits who had come to destroy the miracle and to bring disaster to the village, and they were arrested and prepared to burn them to the heavens.
But even at this time, the wife kept persuading them, and they were so annoyed that before the hour came, they lit the stack of wood, and the wife was so frightened that she suddenly broke the rope, and for a time the clouds gathered in the sky, and after the breeze had passed, hail began to fall again.
The fire was quickly extinguished, and she didn't care about her burned ankle, warning everyone not to be so reckless again, and not punctual during the sacrifice to heaven would backfire and even invite disaster.
Everyone listened to her words, and at the same time they all knelt down, and they could see clearly that what she had conjured up was a rain of ice flowers, the same as many years ago!
At this point, the couple had no way to hide it from them, so they had to admit that the ice rain was caused by his wife, but it was not auspicious from the sky, it was just the product of her playing too much with the Snow Girl as the god of flowers.
The wife told them that this ice flower did not exist in the world, and she had already been punished for this, and that when she came here, she saw that it had played a good role, and she could feel a little more at ease, but she could never continue to worship, which would only increase her sins, and at the same time, if the heavens knew about it, it would definitely punish them.
Despite all the reluctance, the villagers could only destroy the ice flower, and the wife did not allow them to worship it on the grounds that she was a substitute, because her ice flower dissolved into the earth, and the peasants' food and clothing depended on the soil, so they were instructed to worship the earth.
"So you have to build a cemetery in the middle of the land?" Hearing this, Helian Hong was finally able to find some useful information.
"That's not it, we are located in the mountains, and the arable land is limited, so the cemetery can save space, and the excavated soil is put on the ridge, and when the land is barren, it is directly spread on the stubble crops, so that the layer below can recuperate and recover, but after listening to the guidance of the god of flowers, the ancestors rebuilt the ancestral tomb to have today's scale, and the future generations will be built in this way."
The old man said of the devotion of the flower god who had become a wife, "There are also these two Lianli trees, which they also left, and the ancestors wanted them to leave some thoughts, so they planted this tree, saying that our village is surrounded by mountains, but there is not a single honey locust tree in the trees on the mountain, so they planted two, one can enjoy the shade, and the other also has its unique function." ”
"This unique function can't be photography!" Helian Hong said coldly.
"Of course not." The old man smiled awkwardly, "This is what my grandson said on purpose to get your attention. ”
"Why? You haven't come up with a reason for talking about it for a long time! Helian Hong went to see Luo Yixuan three times after a while, and he really didn't want to continue listening to his story!
"That's it!" The old man was still respectful, but his eyes darkened, "After that, for thousands of years, there was no major incident in our village, until half a year ago, my four-year-old grandson suddenly disappeared, his parents went to the city to work, and the family lived with our grandparents and grandchildren, and the people in the village helped me to search for a whole day above and below for a whole day.
After dark, we found him standing in the field of my house, I don't know why it became very bright, everyone saw him at a glance, I rushed over while calling him, anxious, angry and distressed, but when I ran two steps away from him, I suddenly felt that he was not my grandson! Yes, but the way he looked at me didn't look like a child.
When I called him, he didn't reply to me, but he just watched, and his body was getting brighter and brighter, almost turning white. His aunt asked him if he was touching something or eating any grass, and he turned his head to her a little bit, and saw that his aunt was trembling, and we didn't know what was going on, and we were scared, and no one dared to go over, including me, my grandfather!
When almost everyone had gathered, the child suddenly began to sing, and sang back and forth, saying that he was not stable down there, and that he would disappear after singing!
Everyone comforted me and said that it would not be a child, there must be something that alarmed the ancestors, it would be okay to go to the grave at dawn, after all, everyone went home that night, no one dared to come out again, I didn't sleep until dawn, and everyone went down to the cemetery, just walked to the ancestral grave and my half life was scared! My grandfather's tombstone has my grandson's name engraved on it!
Immediately after, I felt that something was wrong with me, and it didn't take long for me to stay in the grave bag, although it was very dark and I couldn't see anything, but I knew it was there, I wanted to move but couldn't move, and when I wanted to scream, it became a song, not only me, but many people were singing, and everything I wanted to say was sung, and everyone was trapped! ”
The old man stopped suddenly, his mouth tensed hard, and the wrinkles on his face trembled because of this restraint, it should be painful to be trapped inside, and it was so sudden. (To be continued.) )
