Chapter 232: The Origin of the Idol
Li Yufei didn't expect that what would have hindered them from fishing for decades would be the two statues, if those old people were not mistaken, after the reservoir was repaired, there was no statue of a god on the top, so how did they come about, did they appear out of thin air? This is definitely impossible, so only by fighting them up may we find the answer. ∮ ∮ ∮ little ∮ said,
It's a pity that Li Yufei doesn't have underwater cameras, and if he had, he wouldn't mind filming them, saying that they could be useful in the future. It's a pity that I forgot to ask his friend to help buy it last time. Underwater cameras are different from ordinary cameras, which are not waterproof.
What Li Yufei didn't expect was that there were statues of gods in both places under the water, and after figuring it out, he came out of the water and saw Li Yufei out of the water again, whether it was Li Tingyue, Sun Kexin or those villagers who watched the excitement, they were all relieved, they didn't want to see Li Yufei have an accident, and now that he came back safely, of course they were very happy.
Now that they saw Li Yufei rowing their wooden boat back, they were no longer worried about his safety, but began to speculate about what Li Yufei found in the water. Some people think that there are treasures underwater, while others think that there are nothing more than rotten tree roots or broken rocks underwater.
Ignoring the arguments of those people, Li Tingyue and Sun Kexin immediately squeezed through the crowd and ran towards the stairs of the reservoir. For the two of them, there really wasn't anyone who dared not give way along the way. First, the two of them are beautiful women, although they don't know what a gentleman is, but it doesn't mean that they let two beauties.
Besides. I didn't see that each of them was followed by a vicious dog, and they didn't want to have a close encounter with that dog. Even the original owner of the new life saw the appearance of the new life. I was too scared to approach it. They now don't recognize the new life as their old dog, who is too old to walk.
Maybe the freshman also knows that he has nothing to do with them, so he is going to see them less and less now. so as not to make Li Yufei unhappy. When the two beauties came to the staircase, they saw Li Shanfu and they were already waiting there.
"Tingyue, you're here. Kexin, when did you come, I'm really sorry, I'm too busy today to take care of you. Li Shanfu greeted the two of them with a smile. He had been nervous about his son just now, and he didn't know when Sun Kexin came.
"Uncle, it's okay. I've been here for a while, and I've been watching Li Yufei over there, so I didn't come over to say hello to my uncle, because I was rude. Sun Kexin said with a smile. Now that Li Yufei is safe, all of them are very happy.
"Haha, Shanfu is really blessed, I found such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and she is so polite, it's really enviable." The village chief has also seen Sun Kexin a few times. Hearing them greet each other at that time, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehe, envy. But even if you envy it, it's useless, it's my son's daughter-in-law. Ha ha. Li Shanfu said with a laugh.
Sun Kexin is a little shy. However, she did not object, and the matter between her and Li Yufei was no secret for a long time. Besides, Deng Yuying told her last time. I'm going to let him and Li Yufei get married. I heard that she discussed it with her father Wu Qiaoli.
As for Li Yufei, on this matter. They didn't have the right to refuse, but they weren't ready to tell him about it yet. When the time comes, just put the household registration book into his hand, and he will dare to say nothing.
Just when Li Shanfu and they were bragging, Li Yufei and the others finally returned to the shore, and Li Yufei had already changed his clothes at this time. Although he didn't feel cold, the wetsuit was not very comfortable to wear, and his own clothes were more comfortable.
"Yufei is back, how about it, tell us what is going on underwater. Is there any treasure? Before Li Yufei came up from under the reservoir, he heard someone shouting loudly there.
After Li Yufei heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, that guy probably watched too many movies, why can he be associated with treasures, where are there so many treasures in this world.
Of course, if you really want to talk about it, look at the carving of the two gods. They should be worth some money too. If it's a cultural relic, it's even more valuable.
"Yufei, how is it, do you see what is underneath clearly. What has held us back for decades? When the village chief saw Li Yufei coming back, he immediately pulled Li Yufei and asked eagerly. Hearing the village chief's question, the others immediately fell silent, and they also wanted to hear what was under the reservoir. Even Li Yuxing pricked up his ears and sounded. Just now he wanted to ask Li Yufei if he came, but Li Yufei never told him.
When others ask, Li Yufei can ignore it, but now that the village chief asks, Li Yufei has no reason not to answer. After all, this matter must not be hidden, maybe the village chief can still know the severity of this thing.
I heard that there was no reservoir under the reservoir before, so it must have been put down later, Li Yufei was on the way back just now, he thought about it, and probably had some ideas, but he didn't know if it was right or not, so it was up to the village chief to investigate.
"Village chief, I checked clearly, there are two gods under the water, yes, you heard it right, it's two gods, two well-preserved gods, although I don't know how they appeared there, but I think those old people in the village may know something." Li Yufei said loudly.
"Ah, it turns out that there is no treasure, only two statues, what's going on, is it that the gods have appeared. Otherwise, how could there be a god statue under the reservoir? Hearing Li Yufei's words, some people were disappointed all of a sudden.
For atheists, whether they are gods or Buddhas, in their eyes, they are of no use at all. However, some of the old people, after hearing about the idol, were stunned for a moment, as if their memories had suddenly been opened.
It's just that the scene is a bit chaotic at this time. Li Yufei didn't notice them either.
But after Li Yufei and they went back. Just after lunch, he saw more than a dozen elderly people in the village under the leadership of the village chief. I found it.
"Hello village chief, and grandfathers. Please come in and sit. If you haven't eaten, I'll ask my mother to get you something to eat. "The visitors are guests, and Li Yufei can only invite them into the house.
After coming back today, he was thinking that if there was no reaction in the village, he would find a way to get the two idols up by himself, but now that he saw the village chief and them coming, he probably came here for this.
"You're welcome. We all came here for dinner, and if it weren't for the fear of disturbing your meal, we would have come a long time ago. The village chief shook his head and said.
Li Yufei didn't say anything after hearing it, as for how they knew that they had finished eating, then Li Yufei didn't have to think about it, if he didn't guess wrong, when they were eating just now, the children running around outside must have been their scouts, but he didn't expect it. The village chief, they even used such a method.
"Oh, so why are you here this time?" Li Yufei said knowingly. He didn't want to start by himself, so it was better to let them ask themselves.
"That's right, didn't you say that you found two gods in the water today? When I went back, I looked through some information and asked some old people. I think I might know what those idols are all about. It just so happens that these old people may know something. So I brought them with me. The village chief took out a notebook and said to Li Yufei.
"Oh, tell me, that's what happened. Why would a good idol run into the reservoir? Li Yufei asked curiously.
"Actually, this incident was a very sensational thing a few decades ago. When Li was in a special period, it wasn't the four old ones, and a lot of old things were smashed. This includes some temples and Taoist temples, and there used to be a Taoist temple on the edge of our village. There are a lot of immortals enshrined in it, and these old men know this. They've all seen it before.
But later, I heard that many monks and Taoist priests were forced by the government to let them get married and have children, and the Taoist temple was also smashed by some people. But listening to these old men, on the day those people smashed the Taoist temple, they suddenly found that some of the gods that were still there the day before had mysteriously disappeared.
This caused quite a stir at the time. Some people say that it was the immortal manifestation, and that it was the disrespect of the people that disappointed the immortals, so they took back the god statue dharma body. Of course, in those days, even if many people thought so, no one dared to say it. But even so, in the end, the temple was smashed, and there are still old ruins on the south side of the village. ”
"Village Chief, do you mean to say that the two gods I found today are the disappeared statues in the Taoist temple at that time?" Li Yufei understood it. He knew what was going on when he thought about it.
This is similar to what he guessed at the time, and it was indeed left over from that special period. Originally, he thought that the villagers had moved there together, but for some reason, many people never told the story about it, but now it doesn't seem like that, but it is certain that at that time, I don't know who gave these statues to the reservoir.
"Yes, I think that in our village, only that Taoist temple will have statues, and some immortals were really lost there back then. These old people can also testify, and later after the reform and opening up, some of them have been looking for a while, but they have not found it, so slowly they have forgotten about this matter. I didn't expect to hear this today. Otherwise, they wouldn't have believed that there would be a god under the reservoir. The village chief sighed and said.
"Later, most of the people in the village went out to work, and few people were willing to stay in the village, so slowly no one mentioned this matter anymore, if it wasn't for the fact that you said that there were gods in the water today, I wouldn't want to be long, I guess no one remembers them anymore." So I wonder if we should salvage them, although I don't know which ancestor hid them in the water with so much effort, and we descendants can't let him hide them in the water all the time. The village chief said excitedly.
In fact, he said so, in fact, he was thinking that if this matter was known to the outside, adding this story might attract a lot of people's attention. At that time, those who are interested in this, if they come to see them, the village will not send them. That's what he's ultimately about.
However, Li Yu didn't think so much, for him, even if the village chief didn't salvage them, he himself had to find a way to salvage them, and now that they were helping, of course he wouldn't disagree. Although the statues looked good, he wasn't interested in them.
"Well, I don't think I can let them stay in the water, then the gods will be angry." Li Yufei wished that they would salvage those statues, in that case, it would be easier for him to fish in the future. This means that he contracted the reservoir at a low price, which is not harmful to him.
After getting Li Yufei's answer. The village chief is also very happy, although even if Li Yufei disagrees, he sometimes has a way to get those idols to the village, but in that case, when he meets Li Yufei and them, he will be embarrassed. Now they are all happy, and they are all happy.
The village chief will not let go of such an opportunity to make a name for himself, and when the time comes, he will definitely engrave his name on the merit list. Just thinking about it excites him.
Li Yufei didn't understand the village chief's thoughts, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much, he didn't have much interest in such a merit, but later he learned that the village chief also engraved his name in order to thank him, and Li Yufei just smiled at it.
Since the village chief has been promised, then, next, it is natural to discuss how to salvage the statue, after all, such a big stone is in the water, but it is not easy to get out, at least now only Li Yufei's wooden boat is definitely not good, they still have to borrow a boat, now the new construction must not be in a hurry, if the rainy season comes, if they want to salvage, it will definitely be more difficult.
