Chapter 53 The people in Gujing Village are boiling

After Lin Chen heard this, he looked in the direction that Meng Qingwu was pointing to, and saw a group of people gathered on a dirt slope not far from the river bank, as if they were arguing about something.

Lin Chen quickly dragged Meng Qingwu to dive underwater, and then went to the south bank from a remote place, he didn't want to be treated as a monster.

After Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu came ashore, they made a detour from a little distance and came to the front of the village. At the crossing, a wooden gate tower stands tall, and the gatehouse faces east, and it is written: Gujing Village.

These three words made Lin Chen stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Meng Qingwu asked puzzled when she saw Lin Chen looking at the wooden gatehouse.

"There is also an ancient well village in my hometown. Lin Chen replied.

"It's just a duplicate name, what's so much fun. ”

"It's really not fun, but Furui has another meaning for us. ”

"Oh? "Dream Light Dance is also very curious.

"In my hometown, according to legend, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a general with the surname Dugu went out of the city to meet the invading enemy army, and because he was outnumbered, he threw his weapon Fang Tianhua halberd into a well, and then committed suicide. ”

"But he is also a man with strong bones. This simple story reminded Meng Qingwu of General Lin Feng that Lin Chen had talked to him about not long ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"There is no such detail in the history books, it is possible that there is indeed such a thing, or it may be made up by later generations. However, legend has it that since then, the water from this well has become clearer and sweeter, and the sake that people make from the water here is also fragrant. Since then, the name of the ancient well has become famous all over the world. ”

"It's amazing, and it's so big of a difference when you throw the weapon down?"

"Who knows. However, later, people cited scriptures and researched in many ways, and advanced the age of Gujing to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, in the Ming Dynasty, a big official brought this hometown wine to the emperor, and the emperor was full of praise for it, and since then it has the name of tribute wine. ”

"Hehe, the people in your hometown are really amazing, all of them are historians, just like you. ”

Lin Chen touched his nose and said, "Most of what I told you a few days ago are historical interpretations, and they can't be true. ”

Lin Chen regretted a little at the moment, he didn't know if he was right to talk about those historical interpretations with Meng Qingwu these days, but Lin Chen thought about it, who knew that the things recorded in the historical classics thousands of years ago were true.

Some people say that history books are written by the victors according to their own ideas, and Lin Chen deeply believes this, so Lin Chen also admires characters like Sima Qian even more. But after all, the channels for disseminating information in ancient times were very limited, and who knows if the information obtained by Sima Qian had changed its flavor when it passed through other people's mouths and pens.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you, let's go in and have a look, maybe we're going to miss a blast. Dream Dance said, and looked towards the small dirt slope, which was already full at this time, and there were more people than Fang Cai.

Sure enough, women love gossip. Lin Chen muttered in his mouth.

"Huh?" Meng Qingwu glanced back at Lin Chen.

"I said, women love to join in the fun. Lin Chen thought to himself, he must pay attention to the next time he speaks, Qingwu's ears are a little smart, and those who have practiced martial arts are different.

Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu walked into Gujing Village, Lin Chen found that this village is not big, and as far as the eye can see, there are about 30 independent courtyards in the entire village, and most of the courtyards are fence walls made of bamboo or thick branches, which are very similar to vegetable gardens on the earth. There was only one courtyard with a brick wall, and because it was far away, Lin Chen couldn't see what was written on the door of the courtyard.

There are quite a few paths crisscrossing the village, but only two roads that cross each other vertically and in a cross shape are relatively smooth, and they look like the main roads that should be walked on a daily basis.

The two discussed it for a while, and decided to take the main road over, after all, it was the first time to enter other people's villages, if they took the small road, in case they were bumped into by someone, thinking that they were roosters and dog thieves, they would not be able to commit it.

"Is it appropriate for us to just go over like this?"

"It's nothing, I used to sneak out with my brothers to catch water and deliver water, and I did a lot of things like going into other people's villages, and most of the villagers were very simple. Dream danced lightly to Lin Chen's ticket.

"Okay. Lin Chen was confident when he saw the dream, but he was no longer worried, after all, he was not very good at negotiating this kind of thing with people.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Chen saw a large well hugged by about three people, and there was a simple shed standing on the well, which was supported by eight logs, which looked solid.

The shed has no side walls, and although the roof is not beautifully made, it still gives a solid feeling, with several large barrels and a long rope on the side of the shed.

Lin Chen was very surprised, because when he was in Xiaochi County, he had clearly learned that digging a well to get water would not work.

At that time, it also made Lin Chen happy for a long time, because Lin Chen, as an engineering man before, knew that what he was afraid of when digging a pit underground was water, and now he can't even dig a well, let alone dig a hole. And Lin Chen can make full use of this to give full play to his expertise and create an underground project of artificial miracles in this world.

But Lin Chen's idea was scoffed at by everyone, because they felt that the land didn't cost money, and they could just find a place to build a house if they wanted to, so why bother digging the soil.

Lin Chen then thought that this was a vast and sparsely populated world, not his own earth. And the many benefits of the basement are even more incompatible. Please, there is a reverse sea floating in the sky, and there is no strong direct sunlight at all. Poor men are most interested in where to drink water, and the more affluent men are thinking about how to store water, while women, both rich and poor, are most interested in how to hydrate their faces.

Now that I have seen the well, I have broken the cognitive system that Lin Chen has built up with great difficulty.

"Oh, don't look at it, I've seen several of them before. There must be no water, and I heard the old man say that there are a lot of wells that are still preserved like this, but they are all kept thoughts, and there are some shrines built on them for people to pray. Dream Qingwu pulled Lin Chen and quickly rushed towards the small slope.

"Old village chief, it's not that we are ruthless, it's really that you, the village chief, can't do it anymore, and if you do it again, I'm afraid that the whole village will be killed." ”

"Yes, now we only let you hand over the position of village chief, we have done our duty, according to what we discussed in private, it is for you to move out of our village. ”

Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu listened to the righteous indignation of everyone outside the crowd, just thinking that this village chief had done something terrible, and now the people in the entire village came out against him.

Lin Chen looked at the front of the crowd, a white-bearded old man, a little bent on his back, looking at everyone helplessly. The old man was dressed in a coarse cloth coat and had a turban wrapped around his head, looking like a loyal and simple villager, Lin Chen really couldn't think of anything hurtful for such a person.

"Move out, you should get out!" said a young man dressed in white.

Lin Chen looked at this young man, the clothes were luxurious, it seemed that this person's family background should be the best in the village.

"Quanyi, how you speak, you have forgotten how the Father taught you in your daily life. A middle-aged man behind the young man said in a deep voice, but Lin Chen didn't hear any sense of blame from this person's voice.

"My father taught me. ”

"Look at the tutor of the Ding family, it is worthy of a big family. At this time, a few villagers on the side sighed and praised.

Lin Chen almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, which was obviously wrong, but it was praised, and the moral view of these villagers is still up for debate.

"It's not that I can't bear the position of village chief, but I have to wait until my son comes back to give an explanation. ”

"That's it, wait for my dad to come back......" At this time, a little girl behind the old man poked her head out and said to everyone.

"Your father?" But before the little girl could finish speaking, a villager interrupted her, "You dare to mention this, who knows where he ran away with the whole village's money." ”

At this time, the other villagers present were also immediately full of voices, and the little girl was so frightened that she immediately hid her head behind the village chief, she didn't understand that the usually polite uncles and aunts could become so terrifying today.

"It seems that it is indeed the people of the village chief's family who are not authentic. Dream Qingwu and Lin Chen muttered.

However, at this moment, a man ran to the hillside out of breath and shouted, "It's back, the big baby of the village chief's family is back!"
