Story 66 Lighting the Sky Lantern (2)
When I got home in the evening, my grandmother made me delicious food on the table, saying that it was my favorite food when I was a child, but in fact, even I don't remember what I liked to eat when I was a child, because when I left here, a lot of things on my body changed!
When I tried to learn to be a city person, I had already forgotten what I liked before, and some memories came to me uninvited as I tasted from my childhood.
I ate a little too much at night, and I lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and suddenly, I heard someone outside calling my name, although it was not loud, but I heard it clearly, it was a woman calling me.
So I got up and put on some clothes and went out of the house, and when I came to the courtyard, I saw the moonlight outside, and in the haze I saw a woman with a graceful figure standing outside the gate of my house, she smiled and waved to me, "Beichen...... Come with me......"
Beichen? Is she calling me? That's not my name, is it? But I still walked over involuntarily, and I had a strange feeling in my heart when I looked at her smile, I should have known her for a long time.
I don't know how far I walked, there was always smoke on both sides of the road, and I couldn't see the front or the road clearly, so I kept following her in such a groggy way...... Finally, a stone platform appeared in front of me.
At that time, I was surprised, isn't this the execution table in the mouth of the village chief? The only difference from the daytime was that there was an extra stone pillar on it, and the woman was tied to it.
Her expression was painful and sad, and she muttered, "I'm sorry Beichen, I hurt you...... I'm sorry Beichen...... I'm sorry. ”
Suddenly, the woman's body began to catch fire, and I immediately ran over to extinguish the fire on her body, but was blocked by a heat wave, and at this moment my heart was very anxious, and I rushed to save her regardless of the flames!
A pungent smell of oil penetrated into my nostrils, and I couldn't breathe, and as I watched the woman turn to ashes in front of me, I suddenly felt a desperate sadness in my heart, like a heart that had suddenly been pulled out of my chest with a knife.
I shouted out loud, "No...... Qingqiu ...... No...... Qingqiu ......"
Suddenly, I opened my eyes, and it turned out to be a dream, but why was my heart still aching? I rubbed my face with my hand, but I was stunned for a moment, because then I realized that my face was full of tears.
When my grandmother saw that my face was not good, she asked me worriedly if I hadn't slept well last night, and I smiled and shook my head and said, "Of course not, but I checked the information on the Internet a little late." ”
Grandma shook her head when she heard this, "Ah...... Today's young people just don't know how to take good care of their bodies. ”
In the morning, I came to the village chief's house to discuss with him, I want to engage in tourism in the village, so that outsiders can come to Jinjiapu to experience the farmhouse with northwest characteristics here, and Jinjiapu is also an ancient village, there are hundreds of years of history, there are two chaste archways given by the Qing Dynasty, which are the highlights that can attract tourists!
And the most important thing is that you don't need to invest much in the early stage, as long as the villagers who want to do it clean their caves, and then make some delicious food that is usually eaten at home during the festival to entertain tourists.
Moreover, the land here is thin, so even in the spring, there is not much work in the field, which is just enough for the villagers to farm and engage in tourism without delay, and use the green food they grow to entertain tourists who come from afar.
The village chief agreed with my idea very much, so he began to discuss with the villagers, first to carry out a pilot, if it is successful, to promote it in an all-round way......
And I am mainly responsible for the source of tourists, I first want to make a tourism website to introduce the cultural characteristics and some real historical stories here to attract tourists' attention, so I visited some old people in the village and learned from them about some stories and legends of Jinjiapu.
At noon that day, when I passed by the ancestral hall, I had the idea of wanting to walk in and take pictures, so I mentioned it to the village chief, and he thought it was okay, after all, the whole village belongs to this ancestral hall with the longest history.
So the village chief opened the door of the ancestral hall for me, let me pat it inside, and then lock it and return the key to him after the photographing.
When I was in this ancient ancestral hall, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, was it anxiety? Is it uneasy? Or is it hesitant? I can't tell you what it's like.
This ancestral hall was renovated from a new one hundred years ago, to put it bluntly, another Wei ancestral hall was expanded on the side of the Jin ancestral hall, and the two ancestral halls were comparable in scale at that time, but now it seems that the Jin family is obviously much older! After all, it's a centuries-old building.
"Click...... "I kept taking pictures of these historical witnesses with the digital camera in my hand, so that they could stay in the world of light and shadow forever, but just as I was obsessed with shooting, I suddenly saw a figure appear in my lens."......
Like that day, it was still a flash, but this time his appearance was taken by me, so I immediately looked back at the photos I had just taken, and sure enough, a dirty person appeared in the photo, his hair was very long, it should have been glued together for a long time, and the clothes on his body were already indistinguishable from the original color.
Who is this man? It's the second time he's been in the ancestral hall, is he here in the first place or did he come with me? Out of curiosity, I walked towards the place where he disappeared, and found that the ancestral hall had a back hall, where the light was very dark, and there were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up, and it should have been some years old to see the color.
So I used my mobile phone to illuminate and go inside to see if I could find anything valuable, because the ancestral hall has been around for hundreds of years, so there has never been electricity here, but I soon found a way to light without electricity.
It turns out that this back hall has windows, open them all, and it should be very bright here! So I opened every window in it, and then I felt a fresh air flowing in from the outside, and it turned out that behind the ancestral hall was a piece of farmland, and when I looked out, it was a piece of new green, and the breeze blew the green grass, not to mention how good the air was.
It was precisely because of the opening of the window that I saw the person hiding in the dark at a glance, and he seemed to be very afraid of me, so I said very gently, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt your ......"
But when the man raised up and saw my face, he let out a terrible scream, and then kept covering his head with his hands and said, "Don't come to me, don't come to me!" I'm just following the orders of the patriarch, please don't come to me! Then he ran out of the back window and ran into the field and was gone. (To be continued.) )
