Chapter Thirty-Six: The Five Masters Seek Each Other, but Mo Fei has a good plan
Mo Fei brought a cup of herbal tea to Village Chief Li, who took it and drank it all, which was the only way to pass this breath. I was in a bit of a hurry, for fear that the old men would be impatient. Hey, the village chief is the first to do his part!
When Village Chief Li's breathing stabilized, Mo Fei asked puzzledly, "Uncle Li, what made you anxious like this?" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, you go with me first, I'll talk to you on the way."
When Mo Fei heard this, he knew that it was an urgent matter, so he casually closed the courtyard door and left in a hurry with Village Chief Li. Village Chief Li briefly introduced a few words to Mo Fei on the road, and Mo Fei suddenly realized: "So that's what happened!" ”
"Xiao Fei, these old men are looking for you to help, if you can help, you can help, and if you can't do it, it's not difficult for yourself." Village Chief Li also sincerely cares about Mo Fei, for fear that Mo Fei will not be able to agree to come down, and he will not be complained about by others when the time comes.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, I have a number in my heart."
When the two of them arrived, several old men led by Zhao Wuye were sitting cross-legged on the kang, drinking water, talking about the history of the ancient well, and they were talking about it in full swing.
Seeing that Village Chief Li brought Mo Fei over, Zhao Wuye beckoned Mo Fei to come closely: "Xiao Fei, did Xiao Li tell you the reason why we came to you?" I guess this kid must be telling you that we old guys are unreasonable, old fools. ”
Village Chief Li had a look on his face, this old man spoke really directly, but he couldn't say anything, he could only accompany the smiling face, and flattered his mouth: "It's hard to be able to, how dare I say that you are old, you have been old and wise for a lifetime."
"Stop, I don't need you to put a top hat on me."
Glaring at Village Chief Li, Zhao Wuye said kindly: "Xiao Fei, our old guys want to build a Dragon King Temple in the village. The Dragon King has repeatedly shown miracles, and we can't turn a blind eye. Since the older generation, we have a lot of rumors about this ancient well, there is a dragon king temple here before liberation, but in the special period, the four old ones were broken, the statue of the god was overturned, the temple was smashed, and it was slowly abandoned. Now that the dragon god has appeared, I guess this is for us to continue to worship. Xiao Fei, you are literate and knowledgeable, do you have any methods? Xiao Lizi, this kid is indecisive and has no courage at all, which is really disappointing. ”
Zhao Wuye let out a long sigh. The older generation has their own persistence in their hearts, and that kind of belief and philosophy is deeply integrated into the blood and engraved into the soul, and will not change from time to place. At that time, almost every village and town would worship the dragon king, the mountain god, the land, and there was a city god in the city, not only because of faith, but also because of a kind of hope, a kind of sustenance, a kind of spiritual comfort and satisfaction.
Especially on festivals and the birthday of the gods, people will hold grand and solemn sacrifices to seek the blessings of the gods. However, a catastrophe, the ancient inheritance was destroyed, and the light and shadow of the past only remained in the memories of the old people, swallowed up little by little by the long river of time.
From a cultural point of view, the ritual of sacrifice is an important component of Chinese folk culture, and it has sociological significance that cannot be ignored for the study of local customs and customs. In the long process of social development, the Chinese nation has formed a sacrificial tradition with a complete system and extremely artistic characteristics, which embodies the ancient spirit of the unity of heaven and man, and these are also one of the characteristics that distinguish a nation from other nations. However, today, when material civilization and spiritual civilization are extremely developed, our national traditions and national characteristics are gradually disappearing, and on the contrary, Western culture is prevalent in the land of China, which cannot but be said to be a great irony and sorrow.
Looking at the eager eyes of the old people, Mo Fei couldn't bear to refuse. Perhaps only in these old people can we vaguely see the remaining national characteristics!
After pondering it carefully, Mo Fei felt that this matter was not impossible. Since it can't be done clearly, then it is still possible to save the country by curves, and it can be used under the banner of restoring traditional folk culture to make a dark warehouse.
Gujing Village has established friendly and cooperative relations with the Provincial Research Institute, although these experts of the Institute are not able to say that they can reach the sky with their hands and eyes, but they also have quite a huge energy, and it is not a good way to find them to contribute while the two sides are still in the "honeymoon period".
After pondering for a moment, Mo Fei told several old men and Village Chief Li about his idea. Village Chief Li couldn't help but light up, this is really a good idea. Zhao Wuye looked very happy, patted Mo Fei's shoulder and said, "Xiao Fei, you are still educated, thoughtful and comprehensive in considering things, and you are much better than your Uncle Li." Xiao Lizi, learn more in the future, use your brains more in case of trouble, don't look forward to the future, not like the gentlemen of our Gujing Village at all. Zhao Wuye's face hated that iron could not become steel.
In Zhao Wuye's place, Village Chief Li has been trained many times, and this old man really doesn't give any face. But what can Village Chief Li do, since he is not happy with the old man, he also has a wry smile on his face.
Several old men walked away on crutches and contentedly. After chatting with Village Chief Li for a few words, Mo Fei also got up to say goodbye.
Mo Fei didn't expect that this incident could cause such a storm, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.
The ideas of the older generation led by Zhao Wuye may be a little incomprehensible to today's young people, and even the generation of Village Chief Li feels that these old people are a little difficult and unreasonable.
But Mo Fei understands the obsession in the hearts of these old people. This is the simple national complex of the Chinese nation that has been inherited for thousands of years. Zhao Wuye's generation grew up in traditional folk beliefs since childhood, and suddenly one day all this was denied and destroyed, and the gap in their hearts can be imagined.
Now, because of his arrival, a series of events have caused him, which makes Gujing look particularly strange to outsiders. As a result, the previously suppressed part of the thoughts of Zhao Wuye and others became active again. In their simple philosophy of life, such a miraculous and great phenomenon can only be realized by the power of the gods.
Back home, Murphy called Director Liang of the Provincial Research Institute. Director Liang has a good impression of this boy who is full of mystery. Murphy's calmness, peacefulness and detachment amazed many experts at the institute. In addition, now is the critical moment for the cooperation between the Provincial Research Institute and Gujing Village, and Director Liang didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he happily agreed. Speaking of which, this matter is really nothing to him, so why not!
