Autumn forests, there is a layer of white and wet mountain fog in the morning, and it will dissipate after the sun comes out, after the white fog dissipates, there will be dew drops on the grass blades of plants, and there will be dewdrops on the ground, and the autumn sunshine from between the canopies of tall pine trees, forming golden spots and silhouettes on the ground, and the dewdrops are shining in the sun, which is very beautiful.

The sun at this time of year is still a little warm, and after a while, it will start to snow in the mountains, and even if the sun hits the body, you can't feel the slightest warmth.

Autumn harvest and winter storage, during this harvest season, the mountains are generous to the people, fat mushrooms, oily pine nuts, sweet berries, and clucking, fat grouse. All of them bring joy to people.

"Ah Zhe, give!" Lin Wuyi rode on a small tree and threw a persimmon with hoarfrost hanging on it to Lu Zhe, and was caught off guard, the latter was smashed, hahaha - the children and teenagers next to him all let out a good-natured laugh.

The millet had been harvested in the warehouses a few days earlier, the mushrooms had been harvested on the mountain, and the children of the village had nothing to do for the day, spending one of the few leisure times of the year before winter arrived. The adults and men of the village were busy hunting and mending their houses in the mountains, and the women would make up bamboo baskets to chew gossip, and now, they had another job of drying mushrooms. Overall, there is a laid-back atmosphere throughout the village.

No matter what time of year, the harvest season is always pleasant, even if it is just a poor mountain village.

"Ah Zhe, Ah Zhe, let's talk about it a little more, what did that white bone spirit turn into later?"

"Then Li Daoren is also ignorant, Wukong Daoren helped him so much, how could he be so stupid, he had to drive him away."

"That's it, that's it." A group of half-grown girls and boys all nodded their heads in unison, looking indignant. looked at Lu Zhe secretly, and wanted him to talk about it again, and everyone wanted to know what happened to Li Daoren and his party after the Wukong Daoist was driven back to Huaguo Mountain.

Since telling Yun Niang about Journey to the West, Yun Niang's biggest fun every night is to be wrapped in the quilt and listen to her brother tell the story of the magical monkey.

Although the little girl's speech was a little intermittent and intangled, the audience was also all children, and when they heard it, they were immediately fascinated, and the story spread quickly, and the eldest children in the village began to cower and come to the door, and under the leadership of Lin Wuyi, asked Lu Zhe to tell them the story.

Lu Zhe, who had just solved the problem of staple food and was in a good mood, was at the foot of the hill in his backyard, telling stories to the children in the village every day.

Lu Zhe's Journey to the West, compared with the original version, has a lot of changes, Journey to the West is a book that worships Buddhism and suppresses Taoism, but Lu Zhe knows that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in order to prove that he is really the true son of the dragon, he regarded himself as a descendant of Lao Tzu and believed in Taoism.

As a result, Tang Sanzang in the original book became Li Sanqing, Wukong also became Wukong Taoist, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, who helped all the way, also became the ancient rain master Chi Songzi. Although it is a small change, this cannot prevent Journey to the West from receiving crazy popularity from everyone, and even many adults come to listen to Lu Zhe every day.

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I still have something to do, I haven't finished digging the mud, let's talk about it tomorrow." After Lu Zhe finished speaking, he took his young sister by the hand, carried a hoe and basket in one hand, and began to walk towards the mountain.

"Alas, alas. Don't, Ah Zhe, let's talk about it a little more, what's the hurry. "It was the second eldest of the Duan family in the village, Duan Ergou, who spoke.

"That's it, Ah Zhe, it's not cool."

"Brother Lu, let's talk about it a little more." Another Lori pulled the corner of Lu Zhe's clothes and said timidly, and at the same time launched a star eye critical attack, and Lu Zhe's blood was almost emptied.

"It's not that Zhe doesn't want to talk about it anymore, Zhe still has to dig up the mud today, there is really no leisure, let's go tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Lu Zhe turned around and walked towards the river.

"Aren't you just digging the mud, Ah Zhe, you talk about one first, many of us will dig together after we finish speaking, and it will be faster than you alone." Lin Wuyi rode on the tree, gnawing on persimmons and grinning at him.

"It's the pole, it's the pole." The teenagers, including the adults, nodded their heads and said yes.

"This ...... Not good. After all, it's a philosophical thing. ”

"Ah Zhe, what you said, listen to your story, help you dig some mud, even if Ah Zhe doesn't tell it, we are willing to help you dig the mud. That's it. "It was Duan Ergou who spoke just now, and there were no adult children in the village, so he was the biggest, and he was the head of the children in the village.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it for a while." Lu Zhe then talked about Li Daoren being captured, and Zhu Bajie went back to Huaguo Mountain to invite Wukong Daoren. Half an hour later, the story was finally finished, and everyone shouted, went home in twos and threes to get hoes and wooden baskets, and began to help Lu Zhe dig the mud while discussing the story just now.

The hillside next to the creek outside the village is extremely sticky, making it a good material for burning bricks. Lu Zhe wanted to make a kang for his house before winter, so he came here every day to dig in the mud.

Dredging is the same very tiring work, even in the later generations, it also requires the strong labor of the family to complete, for this group of half-sized children, although dredging is just something similar to a game, but it is also extremely physically demanding, soon, all the teenagers are out of breath, but no one shouts tired, the teenagers even gamble with each other, who digs more mud, in turn to decide tomorrow when listening to the story, the higher position.

Lu Zhe, who was digging on the side, couldn't help but sigh and shook his head when he saw everything.

"The boy who planted the flowers, guilty?"

"I've seen the Ghost Elder." Lu Zhe turned his head and looked, he didn't know when, the ghost elder actually stood behind him.

"Yes!" Lu Zhe honestly admitted.

"You come with me." Elder Ghost is still very lethal, as soon as he appeared, the children who were laughing and laughing seemed to be darkened the pause button, looking at Lu Zhe who was taken away by Elder Ghost with a worried face, and secretly prayed for his partner in his heart, hoping that Ah Zhe was okay.

"In the past few days, you have been telling stories every day, and you will stop telling them when they are important, just to attract the children of the village to help you dig in the mud?" Elder Ghost asked as he walked.

"Yes, I don't know how the ghost elder saw it." Thinking of that group of simple teenagers, he couldn't help blushing a little when he felt guilty.

"You did a good job, if it wasn't for the sigh just now, I didn't think about it, you know how to manipulate people's hearts at a young age, and the children of the fairy family are really scheming." At this time, the two of them had already walked into the depths of the mountain forest, away from the noisy teenagers outside, and the ghost elder stopped and turned his head to look at him.

"So I feel like I'm doing something wrong." Lu Zhe replied honestly.

"If it weren't for the sigh you just made, the old man would definitely teach you a hard lesson, since you have already known that you are wrong, let me ask you, what do you want so much mud for?"

"Winter is coming, Zhe wants to make a kang for his family and his sister to keep out the cold, and he needs a lot of soil, so he has to make this decision." Lu Zhe said his intentions.

"What is this? Isn't it the secret of your immortal family again? When the ghost elder heard the word "Yu Han", his eyes widened, he was of some Hu blood, skinny, thick limbs, and a hooked nose in his green eyes, so he was an old ghost.

"The ondol, which is a couch-like building, has a flue in it, is a good means of heating indoors in winter, compared to the fire, it can greatly save firewood, and can make people feel warm indoors." Lu Zhe said as he drew the schematic diagram of the fire kang, which was originally extremely simple, and as soon as he drew it, the ghost elder immediately knew what was going on, and immediately understood that what he said was true.

"That's why you take the dirt?" As the ghost elder spoke, his face trembling.

"Hmm."

Bang - caught off guard, a hard slap was drawn, the ghost elder was already a big bone joint, plus the perennial collection of medicine, his hand strength was so big, under a sharp pain, half of Lu Zhe's face was swollen.

"God, how can it be so simple, Liu Lao, Duan Lao, Ming Lao...... Woooooooooooo After smoking Lu Zhe, the ghost elder was like a wounded night owl, hiding his face and crying, letting out a terrible cry, looking extremely sad.

Lu Zhe was taken aback by the wave of operations that the other party burst into, it was me who was beaten, why are you crying?

After a long time, the old man stood up, staring at Lu Zhe with red eyes. "The boy who grows flowers, do you know how the village spends its time in the winter, when the snow covers the mountains and the weather is very cold."

"I don't know." When Lu Zhe heard this, he faintly felt uneasy.

"Hehe, of course you don't know, at that time you were just a yellow-mouthed child, where do you know such secrets, well, the old man will tell you, in the east of the year, the weather is very cold, several old people in the village, they know that they can't survive the winter, and they don't want to waste money and food in vain, so they only wore single clothes, walked into the mountains, and voluntarily froze to death."

"Ah-" Lu Zhe was so shocked that his face was bloodless, in winter, in order for the younger generations to live, the old man went into the mountain by himself, he had heard it before, but he listened to it as a story in the later life, but now, when the bloody facts appeared in front of him, he was still a little unacceptable.

"Elder Ming has been watching the sky these days and nights, and this winter is a big cold, if the firewood is not enough this winter, the eldest Elder Ming will go into the mountains by himself, just like his elder brother! And the one from Elder Deng and the Shadow Family! Seeing that Lu Zhe's face was bloodless, the ghost elder threw out a fact that Lu Zhe was even more unacceptable.

"By the way, also, do you know why the Tie family only has the third child? Because your third uncle's eldest brother and second brother both froze to death in the winter when they were children. If it is cold this winter, you and your young sister will naturally be fine, the disciple of the fairy family, there must be all kinds of magical means, just pulled the corner of your clothes Liu family girl, only 5 years old to help you dig the soil, the shadow family baby, may die, now do you understand why I beat you? Elder Ghost glared at Lu Zhe.

"Tetsu understood."

"Lu Zhe, Zhelangjun, since you had an adventure and obtained all kinds of incredible secret techniques, haven't you noticed that you always look at us with a high-minded immortal eye? Presumably, the immortals and gods described in the Journey to the West are also what you saw in your dreams, and it is really amazing, with the inheritance of the immortal family, they naturally regard mortals such as us as stupid things, and play and manipulate them wantonly. “

"The one who jokingly gave the precious wooden pattern to the Lin family, or taught everyone how to identify the mushroom, Zhelangjun, you always have a high-minded attitude of rewarding, it seems to be polite, but in fact you are alienated from the people in the village, presumably Zhelangjun, you have never regarded yourself as a villager, you only have you and your own young sister in your eyes." Every time the ghost elder said a word, Lu Zhe's face turned red.

Seeing Lu Zhe's reaction, Elder Ghost was also a little moved, and continued to talk endlessly.

"I beat you today, not because you deceived those children, but because you didn't think of yourself as a person in the village, and the people in the village still treat you as a neighbor who watches and helps each other, the Zhewa son of the Lu family, the old man dares to say, if Zhelangjun says that you want to repair the fire kang, the people in the village will help you, and you don't need your ghost tricks to manipulate people's hearts. Believe it or not, judge for yourself. Okay, that's all the old man said, what will happen in the future, Zhelang-kun, you can choose for yourself. Elder Ghost solemnly gave Lu Zhe a big salute and shook it to the ground.

"No matter what, the old man still thanked Zhelangjun for his great kindness, with Zhelangjun's guidance, we have mushrooms to eat this winter, fish to catch, and that chair, which will be of great benefit to our old waist and legs." After saying that, the ghost elder turned around and left, no longer looking at him.

"Elder and slow." Lu Zhe immediately shouted. The ghost elder's back froze and stopped.

"Zhe knows that he is wrong, so please ask the elder to inform the whole village of the pattern of the fire kang. And in today's day, the whole village is mobilized to dig the mud, and Zhe is willing to teach everyone in person. Lu Zhe bowed deeply to the ghost elder.

"Very good. I know. The other party left without looking back, leaving Lu Zhe alone in the same place, alone recalling the words left by the ghost elder, imagining the picture he described.

My heart was like a knife, and I burst into tears.
