Chapter 117: The Adventurer (1)
The mountain spirit was eventually taken away, and of course not brought back to the imperial capital, but was taken by truck to a nearby valley and hidden. The place in this valley is very remote, let alone outsiders, even people in the village, it is difficult to find such a place.
Of course, An Xiaoyu and the administrator knew, because the female police officer sent An Xiaoyu a map coordinates at the end. An Xiaoyu doesn't know what kind of mind she has, in short, she just wants to leave a good impression on An Xiaoyu, anyway, in her opinion, with An Xiaoyu's level of confidentiality, she should also be able to know where the valley is, why not just send a favor to Shunshui over?
An Xiaoyu didn't take this matter to heart, anyway, if this mountain spirit was really interested in herself, even if she was sent back to the imperial capital, it was estimated that she would run over again. If it is because of something else, there will always be another situation, and sooner or later is just a matter of time, not the distance of the place.
However, after the mountain spirit was taken away, although the village was calm again, there were still many villagers who were still worried. It's just that there are so many things that happen these days, and those of them who have lived in the mountains for generations always have a feeling that is not real.
Their truth lies in this mountain, in this village, and everything beyond this scope is an accident, and once an accident is hidden, it is easy for people to panic.
The old lady has been wandering around the village lately, and every inch of land is imprinted in his mind. The change brought about by the change of time, the old lady was able to point to a certain tree and tell the people in the village that a few unicorns had fallen from this tree in which year.
But it was such a village, and the old lady couldn't understand it now, as if after a few days, the village was no longer theirs. First the mountain wolf came out of the mountain, and then the summer gull came, and there was a dead person, and then there was a strange alien race.
That's an alien race! How many years has no one said these two words? The word "alien" is like an ancient legend for such a small mountain village, as if people outside are talking about the ancestors of humanity, the sluggish era of mankind, and the way of heaven.
Just such a thing that only existed in legends, appeared in front of them, not to mention the twenty corpses they had seen from afar, found from the wolf's den in the mountains and forests, which made the world even more mysterious. The wolf bites the dead and drags it away, and it can still find the complete corpse, what the hell!
An Xiaoyu and the administrator didn't know what kind of suspicion the effect of the wolf incense tree powder had caused the people in the village, if they knew, they wouldn't care, the wolf incense tree was gone, and the ancient knowledge was not something that everyone could know, and they could only think of it as a miracle for a lifetime.
Yes, miracles!
The lady next door has been sighing these days, if there is really a miracle to happen in the small mountain village, why can't it happen in her own home? His son was the best young man in the village, and the eldest lady was actually not a very honest person, and her husband was from outside the mountain.
The man had left her this son, and he died not long after, but his weak body still did not stand the test of the mountains. If you hadn't met this man, or the eldest lady herself had left the mountain village and gone to live outside.
"What kind of life does he care about outside? What could be worse than being taken away by a wolf? The eldest lady often said that she was taken away by wolves when she was a child, and although she was later recovered, she was also scared. Perhaps it was from that time that the eldest mother has always regarded living outside the mountain village as a lifelong dream.
For many people, dreams can only be dreams after all.
At that time, the eldest mother's parents were still alive, and she was the only one in the family, and she often told herself that when her parents died, she would definitely leave the mountain village. But before she waited for her parents to die, the man from outside came to the mountain, and the two soon had children, and the eldest mother's life was completely locked.
She often taught her son that if he could go out and see, he must go out and see, even if he regretted it in the future and came back, the mountain village was still a mountain village, and most importantly, he might no longer be him, which was the most wonderful thing in the world.
Maybe it's in the same vein, the eldest mother's son's thoughts are not much different from the eldest mother's back then, he wants to wait until he has no worries before leaving the mountain village, maybe at that time the eldest mother doesn't know if he will really leave, and he has never said it so clearly, but the eldest mother can see it.
The eldest mother knows that her son is afraid that he will be locked up by a small mountain village in this life, so all her hopes are pinned on the next generation. She plans to do this, if she can find a wife for her son as soon as possible, and she will have a grandson in the future, and her son and daughter-in-law are still young, she can send her grandson out of the mountain village without worry.
When Xia Ou, the girl, came to the mountain village, the eldest lady liked it. On the one hand, because Xia Ou is from outside the mountain village, and on the other hand, because Xia Ou is very young, she really moved such an idea and wanted Xia Ou to combine with her son.
But before this idea could be kept, it turned out that the girl who lived in his house was actually a person wanted by the garrison. She didn't know what Xia Ou was like, no matter how sad she was and wanted to break her head, it was impossible to think of such a bizarre inside story behind this case, and of course it was impossible to imagine that this Xia Ou, who she liked very much, was actually a clone, and the body was dead.
So the eldest lady is very sorry, if there is really going to be a miracle, why not happen in her home? It's better to drop a nice girl from the sky and come to her to be a daughter-in-law to her son, so that in her lifetime, she may still see her little grandson go to college.
Mingyu? The little girl was still a little too young, and her brother didn't seem to be a man to mess with.
An Xiaoyu knew that the eldest mother often looked at herself with a very regretful thief, and of course she could guess the eldest mother's thoughts, and An Xiaoyu had always felt quite funny about such thoughts. She and the caretaker never told the people in the village that they were brother and sister, and that they had to make up for it themselves, also because of the age difference.
She often wanted to see how the people in the village would react if she knew that the two of them were a couple. It's not the era of thousands of years ago, with such an age difference, as long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary, no one will stomp their feet and scold people's hearts, and immediately take out their mobile phones to call the police.
What's more, An Xiaoyu's real age is actually not that young.
She decided that if one day it was time to leave, of course, this day might not be so far away, and then let the people in the village see their true faces, and then see their reactions. Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu will feel that it must be very interesting.
Since Yanagiko came back from her injury, she has been advocating that everyone in the mountain village should move to the town to live, even if it will be a little difficult at first, but it is still better than being in the mountains. Liuzi's mother died because of the high fever, and she died before the doctor invited her, which was his eternal pain.
Originally, he thought that he would die too, but the ulceration and inflammation of the wound almost made him delirious, and after returning from the ghost gate, he began to fully understand that even if it was not the imperial capital, even if it was in the town, the survival rate over there must be higher than in the village.
It's not because he's wounded or crippled that he's afraid of dying. He was the best hunter of his generation in the village, and if the eldest lady often talked about it, of course he had thought about it before. In fact, many people in the village have thought that if there is really a miracle, eighty percent must have happened to Liu Zi.
But what he waited for in the end was not a miracle, but a nightmare.
He is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of living in the mountain village for the rest of his life, what he is afraid of is that if one day, he still has to die, will his children be the same as himself, and like many young people in the village, it is natural that there will be one less parent to live like this.
Liu Zi didn't want to do this, he wanted to bring everyone to the town, while they were still young and could still work hard in the town, so that their descendants could live in a better environment for generations, not to mention that the village was more comfortable, is the current village comfortable?
No one dares to say that.
Of course, it is impossible for a man like Yanagi to come up with any plans, he may be able to skillfully use hemp rope and sticks to lay a trap that even an elite soldier cannot see, or he may be able to lead a man to hunt a fierce wild boar or bear in the mountains without leaking a drop of water.
But people who have never been in contact with city life can't know what hukou migration is, don't know what a residence permit is, and can't know the housing prices in the town.
After all, his plan can only stay in words, maybe he really moved to the town in a desperate way, and one day a miracle will happen. But for now, if there is no perfect living guarantee, the people in these mountain villages will never leave the place where they have lived for so long.
For them, no matter what happens, the mountain village will always be a place that gives them a sense of home and security, and no place can replace it, unless you put your house, job and money in front of them, completely shattering the impression of the mountain village.
Yanagiko has been walking outside the caretaker's yard again and again these days, probably wanting to ask them about something, but thinking that the caretaker had just come to the mountain village, and knowing that they didn't want to mention the days in the city, and of course they didn't want to go back, Yanagiko felt that he couldn't speak.
For such a real idea, An Xiaoyu is like watching a TV series, the administrator is expressionless, but the old lady and the lady next door can see it clearly, and they usually ask a lot of things. And since the old lady had spoken, no one else in the village had clearly expressed any objections.
Occasionally, of course, the Administrator will tell the truth, but their questions are always unanswered, and after all, they have never lived in the city, and most of the questions are about some high-flying things. Even if the administrator told them these questions, it made these people even more hesitant and worried, because they didn't understand the basics, and they couldn't understand what they heard, and they would pull themselves further and further away from the town.
Coupled with the attitude of the people in the town when they were resisted in the town before, they in the mountain village will not understand. For them, the village is a whole, so in their opinion, the town should also be a whole.
Everyone in the village knows each other and treats each other like relatives, shouldn't the people in the town be like this? Therefore, in the eyes of the people in the village, the original boycott was a boycott of more than 100,000 people, and once outsiders appeared in their homes, they would definitely have the same reaction.
In fact, the fact is that the people in the town cannot be a family, they are indifferent, they are numb, and even the leaders who took the lead in opposing the mountain people staying in the town will not be able to recognize which one of them they are when they see any of them, and they don't even know that they are the mountain people last time.
In the midst of such senseless worries and entanglements, the peaceful days of the mountain village began again, still going into the mountains every day to hunt, still going home every night to eat and sleep, the merchants came once, they changed a lot of necessities, and everything seemed to be exactly the same as before.
But every night in bed, many people can't sleep at night, and the things they talk about are always related to the city and the town. It's not that no one wants to leave the mountain village like Yanagiko, it's just that they don't have enough courage, and inertia is a terrible thing.
None of them realized that the idea of resisting going out of the mountain in their hearts was the same as the people in the town resisting their arrival in the first place.
In the midst of the brewing emotions, it is inevitable that some people will have whimsical hopes that an all-knowing and all-powerful person can stand up and lead the people of the village out of the mountains and forests. The source of this thinking is, of course, the administrator, who in their view is omniscient, and of course the truth is not too much.
But the administrator can't be their leader after all, and they can see that this pair of girls just want to live by themselves, let alone look at their faces, even if they all get out, just with these two people, they can live well in the mountains, what qualifications do they have to expect from others?
So entangled and confused, the mountain village really ushered in a few people from the city.
In the morning, An Xiaoyu took care of his peach tree in the yard as usual, the peach tree is no longer a sapling now, after two days of cultivation, because An Xiaoyu has mastered the rules more and more proficiently, so the sapling has taken root in the hard soil in advance.
The lady next door often looked at this peach tree that was almost a person tall in a daze, muttering something like "miracle" and "pity", which made her chatter. An Xiaoyu just tried her best to promote the peach tree to the point where it could bloom and bear fruit, and she already felt the loosening of the bottleneck.
If it weren't for the feeling that the peach tree was blooming and fruiting at this time, An Xiaoyu would have already started to do it. However, on the one hand, because the heavy snow is still continuing, and on the other hand, because An Xiaoyu still enjoys the life of the mountain village, or enjoys the life with the administrator, so there has been no breakthrough.
While using the law of cause and effect to make the root system of the peach tree deeper, and on the other hand, using the law of wood to supplement the lost energy of the peach tree, the verdant branches and leaves of the peach tree look out of place in the heavy snow, and even have a feeling of its own aura.
So the four people who climbed up from the mountain road were stunned, they stood at the entrance of the village, looked at An Xiaoyu standing under the peach tree, stretched out his hand to stroke the trunk of the peach tree, looked up at the young leaves with snow and smiled happily, they all began to wonder if they had taken the wrong road when they were on the mountain just now, and they came to some hidden sect.
The door of the eldest lady's house next door was opened, and the eldest lady poured the swill bucket from last night at the back of the yard, shouting loudly: "All get up!" Get up! Roll up, roll up! Three-stroke, did you plug your ears? Hurry up and get up honestly for your second aunt! ”
The fairyland-like atmosphere was destroyed in an instant, and the aura in the village was completely broken.
Except for the little girl in the courtyard at the entrance of the village, and the peach tree...... Huh? What about the little girl?
When they turned their heads, they saw only the door closed softly, followed by a small sound coming from the room, and the voice of a man who had just gotten up. Several people glanced at each other, then walked in from the entrance of the village, and said to the aunt next door: "Auntie, we ask you something!" ”
When the aunt saw these four people, all of them were wearing equipment similar to the mountaineering clothes that Xia Ou was wearing, and they were carrying backpacks on their backs, so she was a little surprised: "This early morning on the mountain, is it frozen?" What are you doing here? Drink water or not? Come in and have a drink? ”
The four people who went up the mountain, three men and one woman, the eldest lady seemed to know which man this girl must have come with, and secretly said a pity in her heart. The other party was full of vigilance, and just said: "No need aunt, we brought water, so I want to ask you something." ”
"Ask!" The eldest lady said dryly, and began to pick up the iron bucket in the courtyard, and the door of the hall was not closed, so she poured the snow from the bucket into the iron pot that had been lit, and the heat began to rise, and the eldest lady's son also came out of the inner room and began to check the hunting bow.
