Chapter 70: The Ghost of White Ape Mountain?
As he walked, Long Xi expressed his ambitions: "Actually, Zuixiang Village is so beautiful, it is completely possible to develop tourism! Also, the people here can make very good wine, which is also a good business opportunity! Unfortunately, this place is too remote and too closed, and there is no leader with courage and business acumen." When I graduate from university and come out to work, I will definitely take the lead in developing the brewing business in Zuixiang Village, and then drive the tourism business in the village. When I make money, I will pay for the construction of roads, so that the roads near the village are convenient and convenient. ”
Xiaolu said: "But there are pros and cons to the development of tourism, this place is like a paradise so beautiful, can you bear to let it be polluted by the outside world? The outside world is very exciting, but the outside world is also very helpless!"
Long Xi said: "Yes, this place is indeed very beautiful, and it is indeed isolated from the world, and most of the people in the village retain a simple heart. But do you know how many left-behind children there are? Do you know that they may not see their parents for a year? Only when the people in the village are rich and rich, those parents do not have to leave their children behind and go to the outside world to work and earn money? ”
Xiaolu thought for a while, smiled and said, "Do you want to be the leader who leads everyone out of poverty and become rich?" Then when I make my debut through the reality show, I will give it to the contemporary spokesperson of the tourism and brewing industry in your village for free. ”
Long Xi smiled and high-fived him, and said, "Okay, it's decided so happily!"
Mo Kun asked Long Xi: "This is also your dream?"
Long Xi's eyes were moist with a hint of moisture, and he said with a smile: "Yes, ranked seventh among my top ten dreams!"
In the evening, the clouds of color paint the nearby mountains gold, and the winding, clear stream at the edge of the village is dyed with reddish ribbons.
The climate here is relatively hot, surrounded by mountains, which block out the cold air and wind, and it is equivalent to a small basin.
Tonight's weather is relatively hot, estimated to be around 36 degrees Celsius,
As soon as they entered the village, they met Uncle Zhao, a neighbor of the Longxi family.
Fourth Uncle Zhao is dark, short and ugly, his face has become dry due to long-term exposure to the sun and rain, and his personality is very honest.
Long Xi was very naughty when he was a child, and after learning a little cultural knowledge, he gave people nicknames.
After she learned the root number of mathematics, she gave Uncle Zhao a nickname: the square root of 2. Because Uncle Zhao is about 1.41 meters tall, and the square root of 2 is about 1.41!
Later, his grandmother educated Long Xi, and Long Xi also realized that this nickname would bring psychological harm to Uncle Zhao, so he never called it that again.
Uncle Zhao is a member of the village security team, and he is in charge of patrolling the night tonight, and it is said that there are weasels in the mountains who came to the village to steal chickens last night.
Long Xi greeted Uncle Zhao in the local dialect, and Uncle Zhao was very enthusiastic, pulling Long Xi to ask for warmth, asking long and short.
After greeting for a long time, Long Xi said goodbye to Uncle Zhao for a while, and brought Mo Kun and Xiaolu to his ancestral house, where there was a bamboo fence and a pear blossom tree in front of the house.
Long Xi stroked the trunk of the tree with his hand a few times, and said with a smile: "It's not the season for pear blossoms to bloom. In the spring, a pear tree blooms, and that's how good it looks!"
Long Xi pushed away the firewood and walked into the small courtyard.
Everyone followed Long Xi into the courtyard, watched her dig out a spare key from a corner of the courtyard, open the door of the house, and light the kerosene lamp.
The house was neatly kept, but it had accumulated some dust and cobwebs because it had not been inhabited for a long time
Long Xi is very good at housework, and after cleaning it with a broom and rag, the house immediately brightened up.
"There are three rooms in this house," she said. Teacher Xu, you live in this room in the east. Brother Kun, Brother Lu, oh no, I was wrong, it's Brother Lechuan, you two live in this room in the west. Fu and I live in this room on the north side. The room is relatively small, so everyone will take a look. ”
"I'm not used to wanting to sleep with other people. ”
Xiaolu said, "Then I'll live with Teacher Xu." ”
Teacher Xu pointed at him angrily, his trembling fingers almost touching the tip of his nose.
He said, "Yan Lichuan, when I see you, I think of my daughter, you made her your substitute ghost! I hate you! No, I hate you, why don't you die?"
The fawn pursed her lips aggrievedly. Is this generational experienced?
Long Xi said to Mo Kun: "Can I wronged you? I can't let Xiaolu live with our two women, right?"
Mokun said, "Of course not. Well, I'm reluctant to do it. ”
He glanced at the fawn with resentment, and the fawn pouted aggrievedly and said, "You think I really want to share a room with you?"
Long Xi said, "You guys settle down first." There is still leftover rice from our Spring Festival in the rice tank, and there are also some rice, oil and salt. I went to borrow some ingredients from my neighbors, make dinner for everyone, and by the way, find out if there are any strange things happening in the village recently. ”
The fawn said, "I'll go with you." ”
Not to be outdone, Mo Kun said, "I'll go too." ”
Long Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, one of you takes the meat and the other takes the vegetables, so I don't have to take it." ”
The three of them were about to go out, but they remembered a knock outside the door.
It turned out that Uncle Zhao sent chicken, pork, freshly picked peppers, beans, and cabbage to Long Xi.
Xiaolu smiled and said, "The folk customs here are really simple!"
After Long Xi thanked Uncle Zhao, he asked him if there were any strange things that had happened in the village recently.
Fourth Uncle Zhao thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, a neighbor said that he went to the thatched house last night and saw a figure with long hair and a red skirt suspended in mid-air, slowly drifting away. We all laughed at him for not being dazzled. ”
Teacher Xu nodded and said, "That must be Xian'er." ”
Fourth Uncle Zhao didn't hear clearly, and asked: "What immortal? Fox fairy? No, no, our village has always been very peaceful, and every family doesn't need to close the door when they sleep, and the only thing to guard against is the weasel stealing chickens, and the white ape mountain ghost in the small Emei Mountain in the west." ”
Teacher Xu was silent.
Xiaolu asked curiously: "White Ape Mountain ghost, I have only heard of Mount Emei in Shuzhou, but I have never heard of any small Mount Emei!"
Long Xi said: "Little Emei Mountain refers to the mountain to the west of the village. Don't you think its mountain shape is very similar to Mount Emei? It all looks like a beautiful moth eyebrow, beautiful and glamorous! As for the ghost of the White Ape Mountain, I have never heard of it!"
Fourth Uncle Zhao said: "No wonder you don't know, this is what happened half a year ago." Isn't there a hot spring in Xiaoemei Mountain, which is very effective against headaches such as head wind, migraine, and trigeminal neuralgia? Half a year ago, a villager had a head wind, and his wife took him up the mountain to soak in the hot springs, but unexpectedly saw a white ape soaking in the hot springs. ”
