1861 Is It a Man or a Ghost?

After the big tree of the mountain temple was split, there was no heavenly fire. As the thunder vanished, darkness and rain returned outside, and the faint sound of thunder came from farther away.

The power of heaven and earth makes the human beings of this era feel their own insignificance.

Yes......

When everyone's attention was withdrawn, they found that there was a ghostly crazy old man next to the fire, which frightened everyone, including the strong man.

Wow wow wow......

When the little girl saw this strange old man who suddenly appeared, she was so frightened that she cried loudly in her mother's arms, which made the atmosphere even more tense.

"Is this a human or a ghost?" The sturdy man looked at the strange old man who suddenly appeared, and goosebumps broke out in fright, but he was shocked and uncertain.

The little old man was proud to be well-informed, but looking at this tall and strange old man who was lying on his back, he was also secretly swallowing and spitting, looking at this strange old man with great fear.

Bang......

A bolt of thunder and lightning swept across the sky, illuminating the stunned expressions of everyone in the temple, making the strange old man who suddenly appeared even more eerie.

"You dare!"

The sturdy man was more courageous, and when he saw the strange old man trying to take down the roast rabbit on the shelf, the flame in his chest immediately ignited, and he slapped off the thin palm.

The strange old man retracted his palm in pain, his body stepped back again and again, and his piercing eyes became extremely timid.

Seeing that this strange old man was so afraid of them, everyone was secretly relieved, knowing that this was a human and not a ghost.

The sturdy man found that although this strange old man was embarrassed, he knew at a glance that he was not from an authentic peasant background, but he didn't know why he had fallen here. is to inquire about the situation, but the strange old man only knows how to shake his head, and the whole person seems to be a little unconscious.

It's just that everyone looked at him like this, and couldn't help but sigh to themselves, an old man who had fallen into the countryside would starve to death somewhere in a short time, and his body would be eaten by wild dogs.

The rabbit had been roasted, and the sturdy man fulfilled his promise to give half of the rabbit to the little old man's side, but he just glanced at the strange old man who was hiding in the corner and holding his hands and trembling, so he handed the whole rabbit head to the strange old man and said, "Oh, this is for you!" ”

The strange old man seemed to be afraid of the sturdy man, but he shook his head violently as if he had thought of something.

"Do you really want to starve here?"

A young man was an impatient son of a bodhisattva's heart, but he stepped forward and picked him up like a chicken. The strange old man originally wanted to struggle, but he only heard the sound of his stomach gurgling, and he couldn't exert any strength.

At this moment, the strange old man no longer struggled, but greedily looked at the roast rabbit in the hand of the strong man, already accepting the frolicking of fate.

The sturdy man knew that this strange old man would not live long, but he secretly pinched the rabbit meat with an extra nail and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Strange old man smells the smell of roast rabbit? Eyes lit up? He nervously bit the rabbit's head stuffed into his mouth.

The sturdy man secretly said that it was not good, it was when he was worried that his finger was going to be bitten? But there is no stinging sensation? Just felt two gums clamp him.

The strange old man is not young, and his teeth have fallen out? First took out the rabbit head in his mouth with his hand, and then broke it in half with force? It's hurriedly stuffed into the stomach.

The few remaining teeth can't bite the rabbit's head at all? But I saw him gobble down hard, causing his pale face to turn red.

"Old man, don't swallow!" The woman looked at the strange old man as if she hadn't eaten food in days, but handed over a bowl of broken water.

The strange old man took the water bowl? Finally swallowed the rabbit's head along the water? There is both a sense of relief and a sense of satisfaction, as if you have eaten the most delicious food in the world.

In fact, the situation of the sturdy man and others is not much better, more than a dozen people quickly finished the rabbit meat, and they ate a little dry food that they brought with them? That's when I found a place to rest.

The strange old man didn't see that he could get any more food, but he went back to the bottom of the table under the statue of the mountain god. There's a lot of hay piled up here? There is also a torn cotton jacket, which has become a "nest" for him.

The rain is waning outside? The little old man and the stout man sat down in front of the fire and continued to communicate.

The sturdy man took the initiative to stir up the topic and said, "Where do you want to go south this time?" ”

"I heard that Guangdong is developing very well now? The local atmosphere is also very good? Therefore, I want to go to Guangdong to seek a way out! The little old man also told the truth.

Stout men hear that they choose to go to Guangdong? His brows furrowed slightly, looking hesitant.

"This big brother, one of our fellow villagers in Guangzhou sent back a message that the government over there in Guangzhou is not only clean and honest, but also has a lot of work to make a living there! As long as you have the strength, not only will you not starve to death when you get there, but you can also save money to marry a cheap Nanyang woman! A young man leaned over and said with great interest.

The stout man's brows furrowed even deeper, and his eyes became erratic, but he asked hesitantly, "Is this credible?" ”

Several people on the strong man's side also cast concerned glances, and seemed to attach great importance to this matter.

I think that's true! When Lin Haoran, the head of the household department of this dynasty, served as the prefect of Guangzhou, he opened up the trade with the Francophone and Nanyang, and the porcelain from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province has been sold to Guangzhou for many years. Even if it is mixed with a little water, I am afraid that it will not be too bad, at least it is stronger than our Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi, and Guangdong is our best way out! The little old man said with a serious look.

"Boss, why don't we go to Guangdong!" The woman holding the little girl looked heartbroken.

The little girl didn't fall asleep, but opened a pair of beautiful big eyes and said: "Mother, let's not go to Sheephorn Mountain to join my uncle, can we see that tiger girl sister in Guangdong?" ”

As soon as these words came out, this dilapidated temple suddenly quieted down, and the little old man looked at the sturdy man hesitantly, this is to go to Sheephorn Mountain to fall into the grass!

After a moment of silence, the sturdy man sighed deeply and said: "I won't tell you, we also heard that the Guangdong side is very good, but this matter seems to be a lie, so I went to Sheephorn Mountain to seek a way to live." I heard your analysis this time, I also plan to go to Guangzhou Mansion to make a living, would you like to go together? ”

The next morning, the rain cleared.

The two groups formed a group, and they were already continuing to the south, heading towards the Canton Mansion with some legends.

If there is any hope in this world, it is the legendary Guangzhou Mansion, which has made many people choose to seek a new life, rather than just choose to fall into the grass like their ancestors.

To a certain extent, Lin Haoran quietly changed the Ming Dynasty, and also brought hope to the poor people.

The strange old man hiding under the table of the mountain god was curled up, but he could not hunt by himself, but he was so hungry that he had forgotten who he was, and he only instinctively remembered the food.

On another day, a woman heard the words of a fortune teller and came to the temple to offer sacrifices, and left some offerings.

After the people left, the strange old man came out from under the table, and when he saw the sacrifices on the table, he reached out and grabbed the sacrifices on the table, filling his stomach like a wolf.

When he was half-full, he finally had time to think about who he was, and tears overflowed. It's just that his eating action did not stop, but he swallowed it into his stomach mixed with the sacrifice.

Because he finally remembered who he was......
