Chapter 304: How did you become like this, that wise old man!
Sanshui County is a remote small county town deeper than 100,000 mountains, 100 miles away from Bailong Demon Mountain.
Since a few years ago, the White Dragon Demon Mountain broke out a beast tide, affecting dozens of miles around, killing and injuring mountain people, dozens of villages were destroyed overnight, and the people in the mountains moved out of the mountains one after another, scattered in four mountain cities.
The originally deserted small county town suddenly became crowded and lively.
Sanshui County is one of them.
Over the years, for people in the mountains who have experienced the tide of beasts, they have gradually become accustomed to the appearance of strange beasts in the mountains, and some people have even seen the legendary "immortals" cast magical spells in the mountains to subdue the strange beasts.
The concept of immortals and demons is the first to revive in the minds of the world's people in the deep mountains!
Earlier than the sword demon chaos in the world, the flying immortals under the moon brought a wake-up to the people of Kyushu.
On this day, this small and crowded small county town in the mountains suddenly became lively.
Many people in the mountains said that they had seen that there were people from outside the world who entered the mountains.
Some people sit on a bamboo raft and have no pulp on their own;
There are Taoist priests who tread water under their feet, and the river does not sink,
There is a monk who crosses the river with a reed, stepping on a bamboo artemisia, walking like an arrow;
Others say that there are people in the sky who fly into the sky and disappear in one direction and into the mountains.
On this day, many people said that they had seen a mysterious and elusive worldly master.
In the small county town, a group of Taoist priests and monks suddenly appeared, and those with swords and swords on their backs also went in the same direction and disappeared into the mountains.
The small Sanshui County suddenly became lively and discussed.
The rumored masters of the world appeared one after another on this day and rushed to the mountains, what is the matter?
Many people in the small county town were curious, and some even dared to follow.
Soon after, the astonishing news came from the mountains that there were immortals in the mountains, leading them to worship from all directions.
Some ordinary people followed the chance to a place and found that those worldly masters, monks, Taoist priests, those who carried swords, and those who played with knives all bowed in the direction of a mountain.
Then in the huge mountains, in the scorching sun at noon, there was a thick fog, and the four directions could not be seen through, and people were going in circles no matter how they walked.
The news spread to the small county town, and the legend that there were immortals in the mountains spread in the small mountain town.
And that mountain, I heard that it is called Wutong Mountain.
And when it was rumored that there were immortals in Wutong Mountain in the small mountain city, there was a new village on the periphery of Sanshui County, which was called Xincun.
This village was built only two years ago, and after the animal tide broke out, the mountain people of Dashan were displaced and helped to build new homes, and this village called Xincun is one of them.
In the new village, there are mainly Han Chinese, but there are also ethnic minorities.
The villagers in the peach blossoms used to be arranged here.
Several years have passed, and things are not people.
The hometown where they had lived for hundreds of thousands of years is no longer possible, the familiar scene is no longer there, and the villagers are trying to adapt to the new life.
A few years passed, some people in the village left, and new life was born.
There is no longer flying red in the mountains, and I know how many flowers fall in my dreams.
Many villagers in Peach Blossom still dream of the leisurely life of counting chickens, driving ducks, and planting peach blossoms in the mountains.
At noon on this day, the door of a small courtyard with blue tiles and red bricks was vigorously pushed open.
A young man with a red white gauze wrapped in his head pushed open the door angrily, followed by a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, who also had a wound on one arm, and followed behind with a gloomy face on his shoulder.
There were also more than a dozen old and young men with farm tools, carrying farm tools, and followed them into the courtyard angrily.
None of them looked very good.
"Oh, what's going on?"
A middle-aged woman was picking up things in the yard, and when she saw the young man with white gauze wrapped around his head and blood soaked on his forehead, she screamed, put down her things, and hurriedly walked over.
At this time, I heard the movement, and out of the room came a young woman with a big belly, wheat-colored skin, and a little pretty.
She saw that the young man was wounded, and walked in small steps.
"Brother Yuan, didn't you go to open a canal with your father, why did you get hurt, does it hurt?"
The woman, apparently the wife of the young man, who was pregnant for five or six months, asked worriedly.
"yes, how can this be. ”
The middle-aged woman looked anxiously and raised her hand to touch her son's head, obviously worried.
"It's okay, Mom, it's just a little bit broken. The young man waved his hand a little bitterly.
"Yuanzi and his father, tell me, what's wrong, why are you also injured?"
The middle-aged woman was a little anxious when she asked the dark-faced middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was giving smoke to a dozen men, and a group of people were either standing or finding a sill to sit, smoking smoking.
"Be quiet, don't bother Dad. ”
The middle-aged man took a puff of his cigarette and said to the woman with a frown.
This middle-aged man is Chen Qiang, the son of Chen Lao, the woman is Xiufen's sister-in-law, and the young man is Chen Yuan, the grandson of Chen Lao.
And most of these people in the yard are former Taohuali villagers.
Several years have passed, and the years have left more or less marks on the faces of these people, and even Chen Yuan, who used to study in the provincial capital, did not develop in the city at some point, and returned here to marry a daughter-in-law.
"Sister-in-law Xiufen, that's the case, today Brother Qiang organized us to dig a ditch, but it turned out that ........ Yuanzi of the dog in the upstream village was injured by them with a hoe, what a fucking bastard. ”
A former villager in Peach Blossom told what had happened in a huff.
In short, it was because of the opening of a canal to divert water that the two villages clashed and started to do things.
Chen Yuan, a former weak scholar, was unscrupulous with a class, but he was taken a hoe by the farmer in the other village, and he suffered a loss.
After graduating from university, Chen Yuan did not look for a job in the provincial capital, but became a teacher in a junior high school in a small county.
In the courtyard, a group of villagers swallowed clouds and spewed fog, scolding the people in the next village for being unreasonable.
"Alas, this day ......"
Sister-in-law Xiufen heard this, and sighed with a sad face.
left his hometown and lived in a different place, all kinds of troubles were unpeaceful, and because Chen Lao was known for his prestige in the peach blossoms, when the new village was formed above, Chen Qiang was pushed by the big guy to become the village head.
"Xiaoyun, go over there, there's smoke here. ”
While talking in the courtyard, Chen Yuan helped his wife aside, worried that the smoke from the cigarette would have an impact on the pregnant woman, and he seemed very caring.
Today's Chen Yuan, compared with two years ago, has changed a lot, he is no longer the half of the old man, and his face is much more stable.
There was a commotion in the yard for a while, and someone from outside ran in.
"Is Brother Chen here?"
A man who was also middle-aged had not yet entered the door before a voice was heard.
"What's the matter, what's the matter?"
Chen Qiang saw someone coming and asked strangely. This man called Dashan is also a person from the peach blossoms, and after the accident in the mountain, he did a small business in the county.
"It's all here, it just so happens that I heard amazing news in the county. ”
The man named Dashan said, with a solemn face.
Then he told the boiling immortal story in the county.
Wutong Mountain, isn't it in their peach blossoms?
"I want to say, didn't the two brothers and sisters of Little Brother Jiang live in the mountains in the first place? Since that beast tide at the beginning, there has been no news of the two brothers and sisters. ”
When the whole village was transferred after the beast tide, Jiang Xiaobai's two brothers and sisters went to the empty house, and after a few years, there was no news.
The people in the peach blossoms said that the two brothers and sisters had an accident in the beast tide.
Some people say that Brother Jiang is actually very capable and has nothing to do.
But there has been no news for several years, and most of the people in the peach blossoms think that something has happened, and they are always a little sad in their hearts and remember.
After all, the two brothers and sisters are very popular in Peach Blossom, especially the little girl is only a few years old, and she is annoying.
"Do you think Brother Jiang is still alive? or a rumored immortal, I remember that at that time, the village thought that Brother Jiang was the kind of master in the world. "There is hope.
"If Brother Jiang is a rumored immortal, if something happened in the village, with his temperament, he would definitely go down the mountain to find us. ”
Someone shook their heads and sighed.
"Brother Jiang is a good person, people in the village look for him when they are seriously ill, and he doesn't take money, and the people in the village haven't forgotten him, as well as Xiaolu's quirky little girl. ”
There was a little old man smoking a stuffy cigarette, with a look of memory and emotion.
In the courtyard, everyone discussed, and gradually felt a little ethereal and sad.
When they discussed, they saw that Chen Qiang's family had a dark face and an inexplicable sadness.
After sending the villagers away from the courtyard, Chen Qiang's family went to the backyard.
In the backyard, Chen Lao was lying on a recliner, but his expression was sluggish, his body was thin and skinny, and he didn't look old.
The wise old man who used to talk and laugh with Jiang Xiaobai is now demented and old.
Chen Qiang, a big man, squatted on the side of the chair and touched his father's dry hand, a little sad and a little sad.
"Dad, is Uncle really dead?"
Standing behind, Chen Yuan, who was holding his wife, looked a little uncomfortable and opened his mouth softly.
He heard his father say that two years ago, after the beast tide, the Xiaobai uncle and sister lost the news, and the news was all over, and his grandfather was stubborn, so he went to Wutong Mountain regardless of the family's obstruction and the danger of his life.
When he returned, the old man fell into a slump and fell ill with a serious illness and became demented.
His father said that he and his grandfather saw Uncle Xiaobai's tombstone outside the yard!
Chen Yuan knew that in the past 20 years, his family and Uncle Xiaobai were not relatives, but they were like relatives, and the old man regarded each other as his youngest son and friend.
Uncle Xiaobai died, grandpa was hit, and his spirit seemed to be gone.
Two years have passed, and his grandfather, who was once wise and spirited, always liked to reprimand and teach him to learn from Uncle Xiaobai, is now lying on the recliner and has become a demented and thin old man.
The family asked him to come back after graduation to start a family, just to let the old man who didn't know when he would leave have a thought.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but have red eyes, and felt so uncomfortable.
