After Song Haiping's funeral, Ji Mantang and Chunxiao were about to leave, but they were stopped by Song Haiping's mother, who had just lost her son, whose eyes were full of sadness.

But she was still a little embarrassed to say, "Maybe you don't believe it, but I dreamed of my son a few days ago, he said that he wanted me to give a piece of his little finger bone to a man named Ji Mantang, and said that you will definitely come to your funeral, at first I didn't believe it, but I still took off the little finger bone of his left hand, until I saw you coming just now, I felt that this was my son's last wish, so I abruptly handed this over to you." ”

Ji Mantang didn't say anything, just nodded and took Song Haiping's little finger bone, although he didn't know why Song Haiping gave this to himself, but he still accepted it happily, because he really didn't want to hurt this poor mother again.

After sending Chunxiao home, Ji Mantang returned to his home, and then he remembered the pillow, he found it out and took a look, there was no change, the same as when he first saw it, just when he was about to open it and take a look inside, he heard someone behind him call him timidly, "Brother Ji!" ”

Ji Mantang was stunned, isn't this voice Song Haiping's? Isn't he gone yet? Thinking of this, Ji Mantang slowly turned his head, and sure enough, it was Song Haiping standing behind him, but he and the first one should have thought that this was the fake Song Haiping again, so they stepped back vigilantly.

Song Haiping knew that he had misunderstood as soon as he saw Ji Mantang's expression, and hurriedly explained, "Brother Ji, I am really Song Haiping, I asked my mother to give you a little finger bone of mine!" The fake one is gone, and I've killed him! ”

But Ji Mantang was still a little puzzled when he heard this, "Then why did you give me your little finger bone?" What's the point? ”

Song Haiping pointed to the pillow and said, "You will know when you open it." ”

When Ji Mantang heard this, he picked up the scissors and cut open the pillow, and found that there was a small red cloth bag in the center, and when he opened it, there were some powdery things.

"What is this?" Ji Mantang asked puzzled.

Song Haiping said solemnly, "This is a little finger bone of the guy before, and now his soul is gone, and the little finger bone has become powder." ”

Ji Mantang hurriedly threw this thing out of the window after hearing this, then turned around and said, "You give me a piece of your little finger bone, don't you want me to put it here!" ”

Song Haiping nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean, but I'm not him, I don't hurt anyone, I just want to live here for a while, because I died an unnatural death, and the ghost messenger told me that I would stay in the world until my normal lifespan was up before I could leave and reincarnate." ”

Ji Mantang thought for a while and asked, "Then did he tell you what your yang longevity is?" ”

“85！”

Ji Mantang rolled his eyes when he heard this, he is now twenty-eight or nineteen years old, is it difficult for him to follow him for fifty or sixty years? Thinking of this, he said earnestly, "Haiping, don't you want to stay with your relatives?" ”

Song Haiping said very seriously, "My parents are old, they will definitely not be able to wait for my yang life to end, and I will make them even sadder if I follow them all day long, Brother Ji, I know you are a good person, I just want someone to talk to, so that I can not be lonely in the next few decades......"

Ji Mantang had the heart to refuse, but when he thought that Song Haiping had fought with that guy at the last moment to save his cousin, now that people have begged for themselves, it would be too unkind to refuse him ruthlessly!

So because of Ji Mantang's temporary soft-heartedness, Song Haiping has been by his side ever since!

Young is good, the doctor originally predicted that Chunxiao would have to be raised for a year and a half to recover, but he didn't expect her to be fine in a few months, and she resigned from her previous job, so she had to take out her dowry and buy shares, thinking about doing a farmhouse with her cousin.

But where to drive was a big problem, and the two of them began to run back and forth to some remote places, hoping to find an ideal place in their hearts.

Finally, they found a village called Big Elm in a large green mountain less than 100 kilometers away from the city, where there are more than 600 people in the whole village, all surnamed Tang, and this is a big village in terms of population, the local government has repaired the road leading to the outside of the village, but I don't know why, the villagers here still like to stay in the village and refuse to go out.

Of course, maybe it's because the environment of this tank is so good, the water here is the mountain spring water flowing down from the mountains, if you drink it on a hot day, it will definitely be sweet and quench your thirst!

And the folk customs here are very simple, almost every house does not lock the door at night, and the travelers who occasionally come here are also very enthusiastic, so they never charge money to stay at home.

It's just that every family here breeds a very large dog, and Ji Mantang almost didn't let the dog scare to death when he first came here, but although this dog is very big, his personality is surprisingly docile, and he doesn't have any hostility towards a stranger like Ji Mantang who comes for the first time.

The village secretary told him that this kind of dog is a unique breed in their big elm village, and it was owned by their ancestors when they first came to settle in this big mountain, and they can't say what it is called, but outsiders call this breed dog big elm dog.

It is also strange to say that a few years ago, many people came to the village to see the big elm dog in the village, and they bought a lot of puppies from the villagers, but they didn't feed any of them when they got to the outside of the mountain, and all of them died!

Some people don't believe in evil, and they come several times, and in the end they all fail, and after that, no one comes to buy a dog.

Because of its remoteness, although the roads have been repaired, the local government has also carried out several special poverty alleviation projects, but none of them have succeeded.

Now the income of the people in the village depends on the eyes of God, because there is a kind of nut abundant here, the locals call it "wild walnut", and the city people call it "Bigenguo" and "longevity fruit".

Every family in the village grows this nut on the mountain, and every year they eat according to the sky, and when the harvest is good, the family can have an income of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and when the harvest is bad, they can earn 10,000 yuan a year, and the whole family has to work.

Few of the children here have gone to college, at most they are in high school in the county, these people in the mountains, as if there is an invisible rope that has been tightly binding them to the big elm village, I don't know who doesn't want to leave or no one can't leave?

So when Ji Mantang first proposed to open a farmhouse here, and then he could increase the economic income of the village, the secretary Tang Chaoyang refused, he didn't think that the villagers of Da Yushu Village could still get rich with the help of outsiders, and the toss in the past few years had made everyone miserable.

However, Ji Mantang repeatedly assured Secretary Tang that this time he would not let the villagers pay a penny by themselves, nor would they delay their normal time to work on the mountain, as long as the village could grant him a piece of land, and then he would build a farmhouse, there would be tourists who would come here to play, and then he would buy mountain goods in the hands of the villagers.

The secretary thought about it, so he held a meeting in the whole village, and said Ji Mantang's idea at the meeting, but everyone agreed, they thought that this new city person, one does not want everyone to contribute, and the other does not want everyone to contribute, as long as everyone is ready to sell the mountain goods that they usually eat at home to tourists, and the village only needs to approve a piece of land for him.

Isn't that easy? Even if the people in the city fail, the villagers have nothing to lose, which is not much simpler and more affordable than the bullshit poverty alleviation projects led by the county before! Besides, it's not like the city, where the least valuable thing is the land!

So after the vote of all the villagers, everyone unanimously agreed that Ji Mantang would open a farmhouse here, but there was only one person who disagreed, he was the third uncle who was almost 100 years old in the village, but he couldn't say all his old words, who could listen to him?

The secretary also seemed to understand what the third uncle was worried about, but when he saw that everyone in the village was very tight, he gritted his teeth and agreed!

At first, he wanted to spend money to find someone in the county to build a farmhouse, but he didn't expect the secretary to say, "What kind of county do you still have, which man here can't build a house!" ”

Ji Mantang thinks about it, who is invited to build it, besides, this farmhouse must have local architectural features, so isn't it right to let the people of this village build it? So Ji Mantang used the money from the county workers to hire the men of his village to build it.

Of course, the villagers were happy, and Ji Mantang found that the villagers here never cheated and played tricks, they all worked very hard, and they didn't have to take care of the food. Because the women of the family will send food to their men, because Ji Mantang has not fired here, and even the food he eats is sent by the secretary's wife.

Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, a farmhouse with very local characteristics was built, and the people in the village were very happy on the day of the payment, they didn't expect to earn so much money after working for Ji Mantang for a few days!

In fact, there is one thing that Ji Mantang can't understand, that is, why don't the people here go out to find work, he believes that with the real strength of these villagers, they will definitely be able to earn money outside.

However, the secretary said, "We have ancestral training in Dayushu Village, and all the villagers in this village are not allowed to travel far." ”

Ji Mantang was stunned, he didn't expect that a village still had some history, so he asked the secretary to ask when they settled in the mountains?

The secretary thought about it and told me that all the 617 people in their village are surnamed Tang, and the daughters-in-law who marry outside must also change their surname to Tang when they marry here, and the women who marry here are generally from the small elm village 40 kilometers away, and the women outside can marry in, but their daughters are not allowed to marry out.
