One hundred and seventy-five. Secrets in the village
When Ai Xiaohai and his party appeared in Amu Village, the people in the village almost couldn't believe it.
After a while, the sound of firecrackers rang out, and then a large number of villagers appeared around the patriarch.
It was a lively scene, just like the New Year, and several college students were embarrassed.
Yu Xiulai told the villagers their intentions, and since then, the village has become even more lively. Everyone gathered around them and walked towards the school, which was located halfway up the mountain.
Yu Xiulai told them on the way here that the primary school, junior high school, and high school in Amu Village were all together. There are two teachers in total, one is Teacher Xiaocheng, and the other is Teacher Lu, a former student of Teacher Lao Cheng.
Strictly speaking, these two teachers are not even qualified to teach. However, this does not stop the villagers from respecting them.
Ai Xiaohai didn't go, in his opinion, since the things have been delivered, why do you need to watch others thank you for your kindness? Accept thanks, distribute things like this, let Deng Mengmeng, Xu Yunqi and others do it.
He said that he was a little tired, and the patriarch hurriedly asked his son Guo Huazhong to accompany him around the village.
The village looks very old, and when asked, it is.
The history of this village is somewhat long, and it has been around since the end of the Tang Dynasty.
The people in the village are not strictly locals. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and warlords were fighting. Zhu Quanzhong abolished Emperor Tang Ai and built Houliang; Li Cunmian destroyed the Later Liang and built the Later Tang. And the ancestors of Amu Village fled all the way here to escape the war at that time.
And. Their ancestors were actually generals in the Tang Dynasty, and they were three good friends at the same time, one surnamed Guo, one surnamed Yu, and one surnamed Cheng.
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, they were unwilling to serve the Houliang anymore, so they fled all the way with their families, and finally found this paradise and established their own home. This is the origin of the "three-surname village".
There is a very strange rule here, which is also said to have been laid down by the three generals of that year:
The people of the village must not intermarry with outsiders. Once discovered, the punishment was very cruel:
Kill!
The temper of the three generals was very good. But this seemingly impersonal rule is difficult to understand. And. They did not allow people from the village to go outside, nor did they allow people from outside the village to come into contact with the village with the three surnames.
Originally, this place was surrounded by mountains, and there were not many people coming, plus the strict restrictions of the three generals. There were no outsiders at all.
Only later after the death of the three generals. As the years passed. These rules were gradually relaxed. Hundreds of years later, it was only when it was the birthday of the three generals that the village rules were taken out and read. But no one takes it seriously.
Come to think of it, there are only three descendants in the village, and how to continue the descendants is a big problem.
Later, I didn't know which patriarch it was, so I changed it, if a young man from outside took a fancy to the girl in the village, he had to join the family, and the child born must have the surnames Guo, Yu, and Cheng. In this way, probably, it may not be considered against the will of the three generals......
Ai Xiaohai smiled when he heard this: "That's quite troublesome, every year when it comes to the birthday of the three generals, you have to recite the village rules again, wouldn't you have to recite it three times a year?" ”
"No, it's enough to use it once?"
"Oh?" Ai Xiaohai said with a smile: "Could it be that whose official university read it on that day?" ”
Guo Huazhong shook his head: "They died on the same day, so the sacrifice day is also on the same day." ”
It's strange that three people died on the same day?
Guo Huazhong told him carefully what happened. It turned out that General Cheng, who was the first to fall ill, knew that his time was running out, so he gathered the people in the village with General Guo and General Yu and told the villagers that they had already found a cemetery, and that it was in the big forest on the other side of the mountain, and they would go over the mountain together and die quietly.
At the same time, they also sternly warned the villagers that no one was allowed to follow them, otherwise they would be killed!
Although the three generals have not been on the battlefield for a long time, the general's domineering and majesty are still there. The villagers could only watch as they left the village...... Therefore, the villagers later set their death date on the same day.
Ai Xiaohai was extremely curious, are these three generals full of food and support, and they all have to die together? And that General Cheng, who is obviously seriously ill, is not good at waiting for death at home, so he has to run over the mountains and mountains to die in the primeval forest?
"There has always been a story in the village that a great treasure is buried in the primeval forest......"
Guo Huazhong's words made Ai Xiaohai excited. Treasure, that's one of the things he's most interested in.
It is said that when the three generals fled, they brought a total of eight large boxes, but no one was allowed to look at them. When they arrived at the village of San, they found a place to store the boxes for eight people, and the three generals personally guarded them every day.
After the three generals left, the villagers opened the door of the warehouse, but were surprised to find that all eight boxes were missing!
It's gone, as if there had never been a box of eight.
Thinking of another rule set by the three generals, the villagers guessed something:
Every time it gets dark in the village with the three surnames, every household is not allowed to light the lamp, no one is allowed to go out, and the violators will be killed!
They must have taken advantage of the night to move the eight boxes somewhere......
"Primeval Forest!" Ai Xiaohai blurted out.
Guo Yizhong nodded. The three generals insisted on dying together, and together they went to the primeval forest at the last moment of their lives, presumably to continue guarding the eight chests.
Hey, these three misers, Ai Xiaohai disagreed. People are dead, you take out the contents of the box and give it to everyone to enjoy. You'd rather die with your baby.
"Everyone speculated that the eight boxes contained gold jewelry." Guo Huazhong's tone didn't sound envious at all: "Someone has also been to the primeval forest, but no matter how you look for it, you can't find three generals and eight boxes." After so many years, everyone doesn't believe in this story, it's just a joke when they are usually idle and bored. ”
No, no, Ai Xiaohai has a completely different idea.
This story has a nose and eyes, as long as the eight boxes are not found, they are still in the primeval forest, which he is experienced.
Plus that monster...... Hehe, this trip to the village of the three surnames is much more interesting......
The question is, if there is treasure in the chest, is it worth the risk. After all, he is not the Ai Xiaohai whose eyes are on fire when he sees the "Prince's Treasure".
"Brother Guo, what kind of official did your ancestors originally be?" Ai Xiaohai asked tentatively.
This official is big and small, and it has a lot to do with whether the treasure is worth a lot.
As soon as he asked, Guo Yizhong left revealing great pride: "General Guo is the general of Zhengsipin's pro-Xun Yiwei Yulin Zhonglang, and General Yu is the governor of the capital from Sanpin, and General Cheng is even more remarkable, he is the Taishi, Shangzhuguo, and Tiance general of Zhengyipin!" ”
Sounds majestic...... Well, Master? Why does the Taishi seem to be bad people in his impression?
However, when these three officials are together, I am afraid that the treasures they carry are enough to make people's hearts move......
Ai Xiaohai's character is that he will never let go when he hears about treasures. What's more, there are eight chests of treasures!
And most importantly, there is an immensity of monsters in the primeval forest! Could it be that as written in the novel, it is dedicated to guarding treasures? No, how many years have it been since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the monsters that really guarded the treasure have all turned into bones.
"And, there's." Guo Yizhong probably doesn't know how many times he hasn't spoken to someone so happily: "My ancestor, that is, General Guo's son, heard General Guo say to his wife one night, 'After I die, I don't know if that thing can be preserved, but it is related to the fate of the country.'" I heard that General Cheng has already thought of a way. I hope that the sky has eyes, and my Datang can restore the country'......"
What is it? The fate of the nation? Sounds remarkable. Ai Xiaohai can't wait to go to the primeval forest to hunt for treasure now.
It's a pity that this was all a long time ago, and the parties are all dead, and who knows the inside story?
"Brother Guo, I heard Yu Xiu say, you still have monsters here?" Ai Xiaohai asked.
Guo Yizhong nodded solemnly, what he said in his mouth was similar to what Yu Xiu said, but this was also eighty years ago, and in eighty years, the monster never appeared again.
"Good guy, the big grinding disc of 800 catties, that's what my grandfather saw with his own eyes." Guo Yizhong felt a little scared when he said it: "That night, my grandfather was bold enough to look through the crack in the window, and he saw a huge black shadow, threw away the weapon in his hand, grabbed the big grinding disc and ran towards the mountain, and disappeared for a while. ”
Ai Xiaohai's sweat came down when he listened.
Carrying 800 pounds of things, running like flying, what a terrible power!
Blinked: "Monster weapons? Is it still there? ”
"Yes, right there." Guo Yizhong pointed to the left disapplaudedly.
Ai Xiaohai hurriedly walked over...... But...... Is this a weapon?
The bowl mouth is thick, the length is about one meter five, and there are so many thoughts in the wind and rain, and the trunks of the trees have already withered.
Ai Xiaohai's mind quickly popped up with this thought:
A monster that could walk upright, took out a number of weapons, and then came to the village, and when he saw the big mill again, he seemed to think that it was better as a weapon, so he threw away the hammer and took it away.
Much like a tongue twister? Fun?
But when a monster appears in front of you wielding a large grinding disc of eight hundred pounds, you don't feel funny at all.
The problem is that it is Ai Xiaohai who thinks of this scene, this King Ai never thinks about any danger, and only thinks about one thing in his mind that no one can guess what he is thinking:
How much essence must be stored in this monster's body! (To be continued......)
