Chapter 251: Strange Things in the Village
The family name who was selected as the god of the mountain is Du, the child's name is Du Xiaopeng, the child's father is called Du Liming, and the villager who came to report the news is Du Liming's brother, named Du Liwei, and Du Xiaopeng's uncle.
The old mountain god's name is Yan Guoshan.
According to him, when my grandfather was singing in the village, he used to pull the strings for my grandfather.
As soon as Yan Guoshan heard that Xiaopeng's situation was a bit serious, he didn't have time to talk to me, so he immediately followed Du Liwei back to the village.
Luyuan Village is very large, and in this vicinity, it belongs to a very large natural village. There are almost more than 700 households, with a population of six or seven thousand, and you must know that our natural village, Laojieling Village, was only seven or eight hundred people at that time, and this village was ten times the size of our village.
It is precisely such a big village, in the past, that there were opera troupes from other places who had the ability to come to the village to sing. It is said that at that time, it was to worship the ancestral temple that I invited my grandfather's troupe.
Moreover, the general manager invited three times before and after.
Therefore, Yan Guoshan and my grandfather are very familiar. At that time, the place where the troupe lived was arranged in Yan Guoshan's house.
After Yan Guoshan left.
A few of us were just hung in the mountain temple.
However, the middle-aged man is here, and he is actually the temple in this temple, which is similar to my grandfather who used to be the great fairy in that temple. Because just now, Yan Guoshan knew about my grandfather, and the middle-aged man's attitude changed, and he deliberately let us go to the side room to rest.
Actually, just now, it was also because of our rude behavior of entering the temple, which angered him, and it was also our fault. The middle-aged man is the temple of the mountain temple, called Wu Daicheng. We followed him into the side room, and I also apologized to Wu Daicheng, he said, don't be so polite, they are all from the Daomen, just now, he was also a little anxious because of the matter of the little mountain god.
I don't know if the old mountain god can solve this matter.
Wu Daicheng gave us a few teas, which is a special tea in their village, called Luyuan Xiaoyejian Tea. After chatting briefly for a while, when we were about to leave, Yan Guoshan returned to the Mountain Temple.
He frowned, and finally, his eyes were on me.
"Little Brother Lin, when your grandfather came to our village to sing opera, there was a child in the village who made a fuss, and your grandfather took a good look at it. Little Brother Lin, I believe you must also have your grandfather's ability, otherwise, please help me and show Xiaopeng, right? ”
Yan Guoshan's face was pleading, his attitude was very sincere, and his face was full of anxiety.
I thought that he could solve it himself, after all, he was a mountain god. So, I didn't open my mouth before. At this time, seeing that the situation is not resolved, I will naturally help, not to mention, he also helped me just now.
"No problem, I'll go with you." I said.
A few of them stayed in the mountain temple.
On the road.
I asked Yan Guoshan, what is the specific situation of Du Xiaopeng?
Yan Guoshan told me: "Before, the main thing was that the high fever did not go away, and people were about to burn. When I was sent to the hospital, the hospital couldn't find out what the problem was, and I tried the fever reduction needle or something, but it didn't work. I have also checked all kinds of tests, but I can't find anything to check out. I pondered that maybe I had hit an evil spirit, so I found some earthworks, and tried them all, but it didn't work at all. ”
At first glance, this does sound like a symptom of an evil spirit. However, I'm a little curious, if it's really an evil spirit, Yan Guoshan is a mountain god, doesn't he understand some of the ways to exorcise evil spirits?
Obviously, what he just said should not be a way to jump a god or something.
Of course, the most important thing now is to save people, and I didn't ask much else, so I continued to ask Du Xiaopeng about the situation, and asked him, what did he experience before this situation happened?
Only when you know the cause can you prescribe the right medicine.
"Xiaopeng has been chosen as a mountain god since he was a child, so he doesn't have to go to school. The main thing is to wish Wu Daicheng in the temple, take him to read and write, and learn some wedding and funeral etiquette in the village. It has been started since he was more than three years old, and until now, Xiaopeng is ten years old and has been studying for seven years. ”
Therefore, in the past seven years, Xiaopeng has spent most of his time in the mountain temple, and rarely goes elsewhere. Before his accident, he stayed in the mountain temple almost all day long, and he had never been anywhere else! ”
In this way, the mountain god of Luyuan Village is not the same as I imagined.
The mountain god is more like a inheritance in the village, a cultural inheritance, rather than the mountain god officially enshrined in the Heavenly Dao, which is different from my grandfather's.
Therefore, I was surprised before, since Yan Guoshan is a mountain god, how can he not exorcise evil spirits, but now I understand that the essence of the mountain god in the village is actually the person in charge of the rituals in the village.
It's similar to what my grandfather used to do in our village.
Ask and go.
Soon, we were in the village. The scale of this village seems to be a little larger than that of Baiqiao Town. There are all kinds of blue brick houses everywhere, which are very architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
It is a great honor to be chosen as a mountain god in the village.
Something that everyone would envy, but if something happened to the mountain god, it was a sign of impending disaster in the village. Along the way, you can hear the villagers talking.
There are rumors that Luyuan Village is afraid that something big is going to happen.
followed the old mountain god Yan Guoshan, and when I arrived at Du Xiaopeng's house, there were many people outside, and before I entered the yard, I could hear the sound of crying and crying inside. Yan Guoshan told them that he was going to find someone to help, and the villagers originally felt that they would have to wait for a while, but they were afraid that if they couldn't wait, Xiaopeng would pass.
So, there was no hope.
However, when I was brought in by Yan Guoshan, Xiaopeng's uncle, the same person who had just reported the news, came over and said, "Old Mountain God, where is the helper you are looking for?" ”
Yan Guoshan glanced at me.
The people of the Du family didn't regard me as a helper invited by the old mountain god at all, after all, I looked like I was eighteen or nineteen years old, and in their eyes, I was just a child.
Therefore, when Yan Guoshan looked at me, they were very surprised. Du Xiaopeng's uncle Du Liwei asked: "Old mountain god, Xiaopeng, he has one breath left now, don't you dare to joke!" ”
Du Xiaopeng's father, Du Liming, was also sad and sighed.
At this time, there was a painful cry in the house, and the sound was the cry of Du Xiaopeng's mother. "Xiaopeng, you can't go......"
In the courtyard of Du Xiaopeng's house, there are already people standing outside the gate, and they are all worried about Xiaopeng's safety. Because, this is also related to the fate of the entire Luyuan Village.
Hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces tightened, and they all became extremely ugly.
The old mountain god Yan Guoshan hurriedly entered the house, and I followed behind.
Xiaopeng was wearing a black outfit, which looked like the same style as the clothes on Yan Guoshan's body, which was a miniature version. Yan Guoshan went over and checked Xiaopeng's pulse, and his face changed.
"Oh no, the people are gone!"
When he was sent back from the hospital, Xiaopeng was only hanging in one breath, and now, his breathing has stopped and his pulse is gone.
When they heard this, they all wept.
Du Xiaopeng's mother cried even more.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't bear it, so I said, "I'll try!" ”
I felt like something wasn't quite right. Xiaopeng's face didn't look bad, there was no sign of illness, and his death was a little strange.
As soon as I spoke, everyone looked at me.
However, Du Xiaopeng's uncle Du Liwei suddenly became angry and immediately yelled at me: "Who are you, get out!" Xiaopeng is like this, you still make fun of him! You little kid, what do you know? ”
"Ah Wei, shut up!" Yan Guoshan roared.
Du Liwei was stunned by Yan Guoshan's roar, the mountain god has a very high status in the village, but he still said: "The old mountain god, Xiaopeng is no longer good, our village should choose a new mountain god, this matter can't be delayed......"
Du Liwei's thoughts, Yan Guoshan saw it, choose a new mountain god, Du Liwei's child must be the first choice, about the same age, and Xiaopeng is a relative, according to the rules, it should be chosen.
Without waiting for Du Liwei to finish speaking, the old mountain god said angrily: "Ah Wei, Xiaopeng's bones are not cold, you just say such things, are you still his own uncle?" ”
Du Liwei didn't dare to say anything.
Then the old mountain god looked at me, swept around the villagers, and said, "Do you know who this is?" This is Mr. Lin's own grandson back then, and when he appeared here, it was God who favored us in Luyuan Village! With him, Xiaopeng will be fine, you know? ”
In the last sentence, the old mountain god yelled at Du Liwei.
Du Liwei was so frightened that he retreated to the corner, barely having the face to stay in the room. The old mountain god breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Little Brother Lin, Ah Wei is not sensible, please forgive me!" ”
