Volume 2 The Secret Burial of Ya Valley_Chapter 124 Bird King Qin Wuyu
After listening to me, Liang Yue and Ma Jian were shocked again, and Liang Yue asked, "You mean, the one we went to is not Nanliu Village?" We asked several people, did they all say the wrong thing? ”
I smiled bitterly and said: "Nanliu Village, Nanliu Village, this is literally two places, if you say it from your mouth and don't distinguish it carefully, can you tell it?" And I asked the old stall head, for this Nanliu Village, he seems to have something unspeakable, and he is avoiding this place name. So I think it's very likely that this Nanliu Village doesn't exist now. The village is also not found on the map. ”
Ma Tan touched the broken stele and said, "This stele has been touching for some years, but it is not a cultural relic, but it is also an old object." It's a pity that this thing can't be carried on its back, otherwise I'd have taken it back to study it. ”
I pointed to the stele and asked, "Old horse, doesn't this thing have an inscription on the back?" Do you see if there are any valuable clues to write? ”
Ma Jian shook his head: "How is it possible?" Only the tombstone or the stone tablet in the temple will have an inscription, this is just a boundary monument with the name of the village written on it, and there will definitely be no written record......"
Although Ma Tan said this, he still touched the back of the stele with his hand, but he didn't expect him to be stunned when he touched it, and then turned to the back of the stele to continue to check and explore.
Seeing that Ma Jian had discovered the abnormality, Liang Yue and I also hurried over and carefully observed the back of the stone tablet.
The stele was covered with moss, and nothing could be seen on the surface, but Ma Jian touched it and said, "There are really words engraved on it." ”
Since this Nanliu Village is very important to the purpose of our trip, I am very excited to discover this clue. So although we are worried about the safety of the third uncle, we can't just leave it alone. So Liang Yue and I helped to remove the moss from the back of the stele as much as possible.
The moss was thick and slippery to the touch, and it was obviously not formed in a short period of time, and it was laborious to remove.
It took us a lot of work to get the surface of the stele to come to light.
Ma Yan waved his hand and said that it was okay, and as he spoke, he turned on a small flashlight and pasted it on the stone tablet, so that Liang Yue prepared a pen and paper to record at any time.
He carefully checked the words on the stone tablet, recognized what he could recognize, touched what he couldn't see clearly, and read it word by word.
Liang Yue also recorded it word by word over there.
Ma Tan jumped out word by word, and some words took a long time to read, so these words were written as separate individuals, and we did not logically connect them into sentences, nor did we understand the content of our own handwriting.
At first, Ma Jian was slow to recognize handwriting, but then he gradually became familiar with the handwriting, and his speed became faster and faster. It wasn't until Ma Jian recognized the words on the two and a half stone tablets that Liang Yue's paper was almost full.
Ma Tan finished reading the last word and let out a sigh of relief.
I hurried over to look at the piece of paper: "Hurry up and see, what's written on it?" ”
As a result, I followed the word and read a few sentences, but I found that the words on it were all ancient structures, and I couldn't read them
It's very smooth. I asked Liang Yue, "Can you understand?" ”
Liang Yue also shook his head: "I tried to read it when I remembered, it seems to be recording the rise and fall of this Nanliu Village, but I can't read many sentences......
Ma Jian took out a towel and wiped his hands, and said, "It's normal if you don't get through." The stele was worn in many places, and I couldn't make out the handwriting, so it was empty. I have experience with the writing on this kind of stele, so I'll take a look. ”
Liang Yue handed the paper to Ma Tan, who read the text on it three times from beginning to end.
I was a little anxious, the third uncle didn't know what was going on, we couldn't delay here for too long, so he said: "Old horse, no, let's stay first, let's go inside first." ”
Ma Jian nodded: "It's okay, let's talk while walking, and I can read the text on it for a long time." ”
"Really? It's still an old horse. "I sincerely admired, there are really not many people who are so knowledgeable and good at multiple fields like Lao Ma.
We left the place where the stele was and moved on. The wild grass under his feet is boundless, and he can't see the edge at a glance. Walking in it, it's easy to get lost. With no one to lead the way, we couldn't find the entrance to the valley.
As a result, we had to constantly change direction and make clear marks where we walked.
Liang Yue was curious, and while hurrying, he asked about the content on the stone tablet.
Ma Jian also slowly told us that the original stone tablet recorded was really a piece of history in Nanliu Village.
During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Nanliu Village at that time was not called this name, but called Nanyang Cave.
The geographical location of Nanyang Reca is in the valley, the mountains block the strong wind, the trees shade the heat, and the four seasons here are warm like spring, and the wind and rain are smooth. People live in Nanyang Valley, as if they are living in seclusion.
The people of Nanyangwa grow grains and raise livestock in the valley to support themselves.
But in the fifth year of Yongzheng, there was a once-in-a-century insect plague nearby, and overwhelming pests swept in.
There are no less than dozens of species of these pests, ranging from those who eat grains to those that attack livestock, and even more, many poisonous insects that can poison people's lives.
Poisonous insects attacked, and the people in Nanyang Au were panicked. Because there were still a small number of poisonous insects in the early stage, people tried desperately to protect themselves, organized deworming, and also saved a small part of livestock and grain.
But more and more poisonous insects are coming. If this continues, within two days, the entire Nanyang Recess will be occupied by poisonous insects.
Not only are there no grains to be harvested, no livestock is left, and if the villagers do not evacuate, they may also die. At that time, the entire Nanyang Recess will become a white bone field.
Just when people were despairing, a man appeared like a god.
This person wears a hundred feathers woven from a hundred kinds of feathers, and leads the birds to flutter.
The birds pecked at the poisonous insects, and the poisonous insects also fought back, and a fierce battle between birds and insects lasted for a day and a night before it gradually subsided.
In the end, it was the birds that won, but they also suffered heavy losses.
The people kept the land and the grain that they could thrive,
I am even more grateful to the ordinary people who came down from God that day.
When the people asked for the man's name, they were asked to collect the wealth of the whole village and give it as a thanksgiving. The man smiled and said nothing, and the villagers asked anxiously, and the man asked people to call him Mr. Nanliu Qin Wuyu.
Fearing that the poisonous insects would attack again, the villagers kept Mr. Nanyanagi and built him a wooden house at the mouth of the valley.
Every day, Mr. Nanliu drives birds and raises birds in front of the wooden house, and his life is free.
People see that he is good at controlling birds, no matter what kind of birds and birds, they will obey Mr. Nanyanagi's command, and there are many rare birds and exotic birds circling around the wooden house, like a fairyland.
The villagers of Nanyangwa admired him very much, so they privately called Mr. Nanliu as: Qin Wuyu, the king of birds.
