Chapter 532: Auntie and Grandma
Don't say this kind of story that claims to have been handed down from ancient times, even if it is a story that has been passed down for only three or five years, as long as it has been passed on by word of mouth many times, there will definitely be many different versions, even if it is a fight between two people, and the mothers on the street talk about it in the village for a few circles, you can hear a few new stories, and the things when the world opened, how can everyone say the same?
Haruko naturally didn't believe the owner of the soda stall, everyone said exactly the same thing, and pouted: "Uncle, it's not good for you to fool me like this, I will really go to the village and ask others, if what they say is different from what you say, then I will come back and scold people." ”
Hearing Haruko say this, the owner of the soda stall was happy, and said: "Yes, of course, you can ask, although our village is not big, but men, women and children combined, there are thousands of people, you can ask as many times as you want, if you can ask a different version, don't say come back and scold me, you smashed my soda stall, I don't have a word." However, if what you ask is exactly the same as what I said, then you can buy me two more bottles of soda next time. ”
Haruko said, "No problem. ”
I said, "Big brother, you're so confident, it's impossible for us to come up with another version?" ”
The owner of the soda stall said, "Of course. ”
I said, "Why, are all your stories memorized according to a single document?" ”
The owner of the soda stall said, "You kid, how can you talk?" Although what I told me sounds like a story to you, but for our village, this is culture and history, and you can't talk nonsense, every word I say to you is told to me by my grandmother herself, if you don't believe it, you can ask my grandma. ”
I stared at the black and slightly wrinkled face of the soda stall owner, and said, "Your grandmother is still alive?" How long will you be this year? ”
The owner of the soda stall smiled and said, "My own grandmother is naturally long gone, I'm talking about my little aunt." ”
I asked again, "Then your aunt and grandmother have a long life?" ”
The owner of the soda stall said: "Well, I'm afraid of your jokes when I say it, but it's like this in our countryside, the grandfather in the car, the grandchild on crutches, no matter how old the grade is, grandma is grandma, and the generations are there." ”
I said, "Listen to you, you grandmother, must be a few years younger than you, right?" ”
The owner of the soda stall smiled: "Not only is she a few years younger, she is not a few years older than you, but she comes back from a big place, is educated, and knows a lot more than us." ”
Haruko frowned and said, "The history and culture of your village, you need a young girl from outside to tell you?" Why do I feel a little unreliable about this? ”
The owner of the soda stall said: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, my little aunt and grandmother grew up in our place since she was a child, and she knows everything in this village very well. Let us know that we are different from the rest of the world.
Don't say it, although I used to think that I was just an ordinary man, but after listening to my aunt and grandmother give us a lecture, we really found some special places in our body, our ancestors, it is indeed remarkable, we are proud of our ancestors. ”
This is the more you talk about it, the more you don't have a score, at first it was a story passed down by the elders, and I heard the old people in the village say it, but now it has become a cultured aunt and grandmother.
I'm basically 100% sure now that he made up this story, even if it wasn't made up by the owner of the soda stall, but also by his aunt and grandmother, which is simply absurd, ridiculous, and absurd, not to mention that the aunt and grandmother went out to spend money, how did they suddenly understand the history of this village, even if this depression really has a history, that history does not belong to the people in this village now, and it has nothing to do with their bloodline.
There have been so many turmoils in Chinese history, if there is a place where the people have lived in that place since ancient times, and have never migrated, it is basically impossible, and that story clearly said that it happened in ancient times when there were no humans, since when the dragons fought with those mythical beasts, there were no humans, how could there be the ancestors of these villagers? Aren't their ancestors human?
Because this story is too flawed and too unbelievable, I don't bother to listen to him again, what is the difference between them and ordinary people, and quickly pull the topic back.
I said, "By the way, big brother, I just talked about the history of your village, and you haven't told us what happened in this village, why are so many cars parked here?" ”
The owner of the soda stall said: "Or I just told you about the history of our village, the situation of the front side road, it has something to do with this, because this is a sleepy dragon pool, so the terrain is lower than the surroundings, and when it rains, it is particularly easy to accumulate water." In the past, the highway was detoured from a high place, but a few years ago, a tourism development group came here, saying that they had taken a fancy to our place and wanted to develop it, so they built the road in.
If you want to say that this thing is also a coincidence, when we didn't build the road here, the road in the village next to it was also good, but since the road here was repaired, the road next to it was all kinds of accidents, and then for safety, but also for unified planning, all the roads over there were changed, and then the road on this side was widened, and strong drainage facilities were built.
But after a rainstorm last week, the road was actually flooded, and later found out that the drainage facilities were out of order, and they were being repaired, and it was estimated that it would take a while, and these cars were all waiting to pass by, but the road had not been repaired, and they could only wait here. ”
I said, "If this road had been closed since last week, these people would have gone somewhere else to detour, how could they have been here all along?" ”
The owner of the soda stall said: "Because they can't get out, not only they can't get out, but even you, if you want to leave this village now, you can only wait for the drainage facilities in front of you to be repaired, or wait for the sun to dry up all the water on the road, otherwise, you can't get out." ”
"Why?" Haruko and I were surprised at the same time.
