Jiaolongpo is not peaceful, this is a foregone conclusion, after all, since the white snake skin incident, the people of Daojiazhai have been involved, listening to Liu Chuannan's tone, the patriarch seems to still not know that the white snake skin has been dropped, and he is still hanging on the side of Daojiazhai.

After eating, Lu Gushi drove us back to Jiaolongpo in a tricycle, and we almost vomited along the way.

If you want to get rich, you must first build a road, and if Jiaolongpo really wants to start tourism, this mountain road will have to be repaired sooner or later.

"Uncle Lu, has the statue of the tea god in the village been erected?" I asked.

"It's so easy, but I've heard that I've been working on it, your small cottage will definitely develop in the future, I heard that there is a conference in the county, and it has been decided to build a health center for your village." Lu Gushi sighed twice, "There is a college student village official in your village running back and forth in the county seat, it's really different. ”

"College student village official, it's the big brother Wang who entertained us last time, right?" Ji Beibei has a good memory, and she still remembers Wang Tiezhu.

I nodded: "Brother Wang is the first college student in our village, and he is also the first person to come back to become a village official, and he has indeed made a great contribution to the village." ”

"I think he's good to you." Ji Beibei winked at me and smiled evilly.

I pinched her angrily: "What nonsense." ”

"Tiezhu, this kid is really good, he is lively, and he knows gratitude, in the future, Jiaolongpo will develop, he must be the number one, the young man has a future, but he is thirty, why don't you find a girlfriend, how many little girls are looking at it." Lu Gushi said, turning his head sideways and looking at me with his peripheral vision, "I listen to the gossip in the village, it seems to say that Tiezhu likes our little tea a little, is there such a thing?" ”

"No, I've always treated him as my own brother, and he also treats me as a sister, but I am helpless, so I take extra care of me." I hastened to deny it, not wanting these gossips to cause unnecessary misunderstandings to others.

Lu Gushi didn't intend to stop there, and persuaded me in turn: "Actually, Xiaocha, to be honest, Tie Zhu is a good kid, and he can be regarded as a good match with you, if you can ......"

"We have a male ...... in Xiaocha"

"I don't think about going back to the village to develop, so I won't think about the young men in the village."

I opened my mouth to interrupt Ji Beibei's words, reached out to hold her hand, and shook my head at her, Liu Chuannan is an existence, I don't want to tell anyone for the time being.

Ji Beibei glanced at me in surprise, stuck out his tongue, and Lu Gushi sighed: "Young people have young people's thoughts, this is a good thing, Xiaocha, don't mind, I just thought that you studied medicine, there is a health center in the village, and you will go back to the village to develop, so I thought about matchmaking, since you are not here, then follow your heart, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lu."

……

Most poisonous insects like to lie dormant and nocturnal, and not all insects can be used to make Gu worms, especially love Gu, so we have to take advantage of the large number of insects and snakes to catch them.

Lu Gu Master is very experienced, and he said that it is best to go out after midnight and leave before dawn, and the poisonous insects stained with dew are the best.

The insects before and after the Double Ninth Festival are far inferior to those before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, and when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives every year, the camellia of Jiaolongpo is in full swing, and it is also the best time to breed all kinds of poisonous insects at that time.

We arrived home at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Gu Master took out the Lingxiang first, and put it under the eaves of the corridor to ventilate, this Lingxiang is a major key to making Gu, I went to him for help, and I went to Yinlingxiang.

Then he sat under the eaves of the porch, cutting bamboo strips, weaving bamboo baskets and the like, Ji Beibei was curious about these, so he sat on the side and asked questions.

And I went to Wang Tiezhu's house, this time I came back, I also have a purpose, that is, I want to take my brother's tablet away, I always feel that it is much safer to put the tablet in the rich garden than to stay in Jiaolongpo, after all, it is the territory of Liuchuan South.

It's just that I'm a little afraid that Yanagawa Nan minds, but I don't plan to tell him about this, taking advantage of this time I quietly brought it back to the Fugui Garden and enshrined it in an inconspicuous place in the study.

Even if I find out, it's a big deal that I sacrifice my hue and be coquettish with him.

I am now more and more fearless, and I know in my heart where the bottom line of Yanagawa South is, as long as I don't touch the line, nothing big will happen.

Wang Tiezhu's courtyard door is open, but there is no one at home, his parents are almost sixty years old, very hard-working, and I am not as fierce as other villagers, the parents in the mountains confessed to a college student more than ten years ago, it can be seen how much hardship they have suffered, but everything is worth it.

At this time, they should be doing things in the camellia forest, Wang Tiezhu estimated that they would do things around and come back in a while.

I went back and forth in the yard several times, the sun slowly set, and I was a little anxious, after all, there were two guests at home, and I was about to leave, when I saw Wang Tiezhu coming this way, I saw me from afar and greeted me: "Xiaocha, come back." ”

I nodded, looked at his sweaty shirt and the direction he came back, he should be busy working on Jiaolongpo, and asked, "Are you busy with the tea god Niangniang statue?" ”

"The construction team and the patriarch just made a big fuss, Jiaolongpo has been flattened, to tree the statue of the tea god Niangniang, you have to dig at least ten meters down, the patriarch did not let it, gave the maximum is five meters, the construction team said that this work can not be done, to leave, the patriarch lost his temper, I mediated over there, and the skin of the mouth was worn out." Wang Tiezhu said, went into the kitchen and scooped a bowl of water and drank it, and his lips were a little white.

I was a little puzzled: "Why dig ten meters?" Isn't the foundation only five or six meters deep? ”

"The statue of the tea god is very high, which means that it should be higher than the tea forest, and when you come down from the mountain road, you can see this landmark from a distance, so the deeper the foundation, the safer." Wang Tiezhu explained while drinking water, "Moreover, there was originally a ditch in front of Jiaolongpo, which was used to irrigate the camellia forest. ”

As soon as I said this, I understood: "The requirements of the construction team are not excessive, and the patriarch is afraid that it is because of the legend of Jiaolongpo that he will not dig deep for the construction team, and he is afraid that the so-called dragon vein will be moved." But I went back to check the information, and historically, we don't seem to have the small legend recorded in the county chronicles, so I think we still have to give way and listen to the construction team. ”

I didn't look up any information, but I judged this conclusion through my communication with Yanagawa Minami.

Wang Tiezhu said helplessly: "You don't know the temper of our patriarch, it's a little difficult for him to give in, but the tea god Niangniang is going to be shipped over tomorrow, and it has to be erected this week, and it is not a way to continue like this." ”

"It's a real problem." I couldn't do it better.

"I have communicated with the construction team, and they said that they have to fight at least seven meters, less than that, and they would rather not take this task than make high-risk projects." Wang Tiezhu sighed, "I still have to talk to the patriarch tonight, if he can be lenient to seven meters, this matter will be so-so." ”

I nodded, and he turned to me, "What about you?" Why did you come back all of a sudden? Something? Need my help? ”

I shook my head: "It's okay, my classmate fell out of love, take her back to relax, and I'll go back in the next two days." ”

As I spoke, I reached out and pointed in the direction of his room: "Recently, I have been dreaming about my brother all the time, so I thought that I would come back this time and take his tablet to school, so I came over." ”

"It's good to put this, how inconvenient is it to take it to school? When you see it by your roommates, it is inevitable that you will not be gossiped, don't worry, I will worship it well. He laughs.

"It's just a thought, isn't this the Double Ninth Festival coming, I always remember in my heart, and I may have to bother you after a while." I laughed along.

As we spoke, we had already entered his room, and the offering table was still in its place, and the incense burner was full of ashes, which showed that he was really attentive to my brother's tablet.

"You put incense on your brother first, would you like to go with you, then it's not you and I have the final say, right?" I didn't take the tablet last time, but this time there shouldn't be a problem, after all, Yanagawa Minami didn't follow.

Now looking at my brother's tablet, my heart is mixed, this is only a few months, from the death of my grandmother, to the mistaken belief that my brother is not dead, and then to be hit hard by the facts, and finally even almost lost this tablet, the whole process feels like I am on a roller coaster, ups and downs.

What's the big secret of this tablet?

When my grandmother died, I was asked to hold my brother's tablet to get married, saying that it was to appease the resentment of the living Gu, but so far I haven't seen the so-called living Gu, is it that my grandmother's purpose is not what she said, but for this tablet?

After all, after getting married, this tablet is equivalent to my brother accompanying me for a lifetime, and I will protect this tablet even if I do my best.

Thinking of this, my heart sank, and I suddenly regretted it, how did I not understand this until now?

"Little tea? What are you thinking? Wang Tiezhu looked at me in a daze and asked me out loud.

Then I came to my senses, shook my head, stepped forward and pulled out three incense sticks, lit them for prayer, and inserted them into the censer.

As soon as the incense stick was inserted into the incense burner, the spark in the middle was immediately extinguished, and the two next to it burned wildly, and after a while, they went down halfway.

I hurriedly picked up the lighter to light the incense stick in the middle, but I couldn't light it, and seeing that the two incense sticks next to me had burned to the roots, my heart jumped up and down.

I looked back at Wang Tiezhu, who was also looking at me with a frown.

People are afraid of three long and two short, and the incense is afraid of two short and one long, and if I burn such an evil incense, it shows that something bad is about to happen to me or my side.

Wang Tiezhu stepped forward, took the lighter from my hand, re-smoked three incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner.

I looked at him and didn't look very good.

At this time, the voice of the patriarch came from the courtyard, Wang Tiezhu immediately went out, and I looked at the two incense sticks that could not be burned standing in the incense burner, and I didn't know what to do.

It's just that I burned the incense of evil things alone, and now the two of them are the same, which means that it is likely that something is going to happen in the environment we are in......

Could it be that Jiaolongpo really can't dig deep?

However, the matter of Jiaolongpo has little to do with me, no matter what they decide in the end, I can't intervene.

In this village, the most soft-spoken person is me.

I shook my head, didn't think so much anymore, took out a black T-shirt from Wang Tiezhu's closet, stepped forward and wrapped it on the tablet, and then picked it up.

This time I picked it up very easily, and I was relieved, wrapped it in three or two, and held it in my arms.

The patriarch and Wang Tiezhu were standing in the courtyard talking, and the cigarettes in their hands were only buttocks, I walked out, nodded at them, and left Wang Tiezhu's house.

Along the way back, I only felt that the tablet I was holding in my arms weighed a thousand pounds, for fear of being hit by someone, and when I got home, Ji Beibei was already busy cooking in the kitchen.

When we came back, we brought some dishes from the town, after all, I was away from home for a long time, and no one helped me prepare them, and Lu Gu Master was packing up the spiritual incense.

I went into my room with the tablet in my arms, and I wanted to put it in my bag, but when I remembered the evil incense, I suddenly regretted it.

Put it in Wang Tiezhu's place, in the end, there is still the enchantment made by Liu Chuannan to protect it, but I don't feel safe when I take it back and hide it anywhere.

If you have to go out tonight, you can't carry the tablet on your back, right?

Yes, with my back on my back, I can't keep the tablet at home, although Mo Bai is still locked up, but his minions are still staring at me.

I poured out all the contents of the backpack, put the tablet in it, and fastened the zipper, and when I felt that it was not enough, I turned out the needle and thread again, and sewed it along the zipper, afraid that I would scratch something and open my mouth.

After doing this, I went to the kitchen with my bag, put it on the cupboard, and started to help Ji Beibei cook.

At dinner, Lu Gushi explained to us the departure time, precautions in the process of catching insects, etc., we wrote them down one by one, took a bath after eating, and then went to bed, the mobile phone was timed at half past eleven, and when the alarm clock rang, we set off.

Lu Gushi slept on my grandmother's side, Ji Beibei and I slept in my room, and the backpack was carried by me to the pillow.

"What's in your backpack? I still carry things around at home, which makes them mysterious. Ji Beibei finally couldn't help but ask me.

I shook my head: "What you don't want to see, don't ask, let's squint for a while, don't catch insects and yawn at that time, delay work, the village has definitely not been peaceful recently, let's catch the insects before dawn, and strive to leave here before noon tomorrow." ”

"Not peaceful? Did something happen? Ji Beibei was puzzled.

"I have a hunch, don't ask, let's do our thing, and nothing else will be involved."

Someone will deal with the matter of Jiaolongpo, and if I stay, I may still get into trouble, so I can hide if I can.

Ji Beibei didn't ask anything anymore, the two of us lay face to face, no one could sleep, but they didn't make a sound.

The electric fan was whirring and the room was getting cooler, which made me feel a little abnormal.

After all, under normal circumstances, the longer the electric fan blows, the worse the effect, and in the end, it even feels like it is blowing warm air, after all, it is doing work and itself is heating.

And now the wind is blowing on his body, but it is like adding a piece of ice in front of an electric fan.

Later, I finally couldn't help but get up, pushed open the window and looked out, muttering, "The moon is sparse, it's not raining." ”

If it doesn't rain, the temperature won't come down.

"Are you feeling a little chilly too much?" Ji Beibei asked me.

I nodded hurriedly, my heart was already a little unsteady, I stretched my hand out of the window, waited for a while and retracted in, and came to the conclusion: "The temperature outside is much higher than inside the house, the air conditioner is not turned on, and the fan can't create such a cool temperature, senior sister, let's not sleep." ”

As I spoke, I picked up my backpack and pulled Ji Beibei to knock on Lu Gushi's door, and when I stood in front of the door and waited, I always felt that something was wrong, but at that time, my mind was full of the thought that 'there might be danger around us', and I didn't have the energy to care so much.

Lu Gu Shi was a little sleepy-eyed: "The time hasn't come yet, it's only eleven o'clock now, is this about to go?" ”

"Well, let's go over and step on it earlier, and come back early to catch up on sleep, okay?" I don't have to say much to him.

Lu Gu Shi nodded: "Okay, then I'll take the tools." ”

After that, he gave us the bamboo baskets he had knitted before, and then the miner's lamp, mosquito repellent, bamboo sticks, and so on.

"The camellia forest looks calm during the day, but at night it is very lively, you have to be careful, not only to look at the feet, but also to pay attention to the top of the head, the bamboo stick is always in your hand, when you move forward, play with the weeds and trees around you, and the piece in front of your head, and immediately knock with a bamboo stick when you see a foreign object." Lu Gu Master took us as he walked, explaining the precautions.

Actually, I didn't worry about this, because when my grandmother was there, I went with her to catch poisonous insects, and my blood, ordinary poisonous insects didn't dare to do anything to me.

Lu Gu Master is experienced, so I definitely don't have to worry about it, I just need to protect Ji Beibei.

After entering the camellia forest, we divided into two groups, passing between the two rows of camellia trees in the neighborhood.

The camellia tree is not high, the villagers under the tree also like to interplant some things, this season, the plants almost begin to mature, some have been harvested, a piece of dead branches and rotten leaves spread on the ground, stepping on the top of the Kuci Kuci is very uncomfortable.

And the tea forest is a little stuffy, my hand holding Ji Beibei is full of sticky sweat, Ji Beibei is probably uncomfortable: "You let go of me, I will follow you closely, I won't get lost." ”

"No, this mountain is full of tea trees, if you get lost and cry, it's better for me to hold you." I persisted.

As he was talking, Ji Beibei suddenly shouted: "Snake! ”

I was taken aback by her: "Where? ”

"That." She pointed forward with a bamboo pole, and when I looked at it, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's a tree root, senior sister, can you stop making a fuss?" Even if it's a snake, let's not be afraid, when I was young and frivolous, I caught a snake and directly broke my stomach and ate it with snake gall, as long as it wasn't huge or poisonous, I could do it. ”

I must be exaggerating when I say this, but I have to give Ji Beibei a sense of security, otherwise she will scream and scream, and her nerves will easily collapse.

"Really? Are you so good? Ji Beibei clearly didn't believe it.

"It's more real than gold." I patted my chest and promised.

Then they walked for a while, and the two of them were quiet, but they could hear the footsteps of Lu Gu Shi next door.

"Look, there's a black bug there." Ji Beibei said and hurriedly walked over, wanting to reach out and catch it.

I hurriedly stopped her: "Don't use your hands, we don't want ordinary insects like this, and the insects we want, if you catch them with your bare hands, it will be fatal, come, put on your gloves." ”

It was a pair of deerskin gloves, left by my grandmother, who had used them herself for decades, and now they are just for Ji Beibei, and I also have one.

An excellent Gu master is always equipped with some treasures that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain, and these treasures can save people's lives at critical moments.

For example, this deerskin glove is very long, can be directly applied to the elbow, impervious to water and wind, and when worn on the hand, it is like having an extra layer of skin on oneself, and the bite force of ordinary insects and snakes is not enough to tear open this layer of deerskin, which is the best accessory for Gu masters when raising Gu.

Ji Beibei put on the deerskin gloves and couldn't help but admire: "This is really a good thing, comfortable to wear." ”

"You haven't fully appreciated the benefits yet, but you'll understand it after a few uses." I said with a smile.

"By the way, how can we tell what kind of bugs we need to catch?" Ji Beibei asked me.

"The color itself should be dull and become particularly vibrant; What was already bright has become colorful; Even the body will glow, cortical fog spots, etc., are what we need. "I'll summarize it briefly.

Ji Beibei nodded solemnly: "I...... Do your best. ”

This is really embarrassing for her, she has never been exposed to these things before, someone has to slowly lead her to the road, and I am destined to be the one who enlightens her.

We kept moving forward, the strange thing is that we rarely encountered insects along the way, let alone the best ones we wanted, Ji Beibei followed me slowly at first, and after looking for more than half an hour, we both began to be a little impetuous, and our hands were unconsciously released.

Ji Beibei walked in front, I only felt that my legs were getting heavier and heavier, and my walking was obviously slower, and I thought at that time, maybe I ran around upstairs and downstairs yesterday, and I haven't slowed down yet, right?

But the further I went, the more I felt that something was wrong, not only did I not move my legs, but it also seemed that my back was getting colder and colder, and finally, it was like ice cubes clinging to my body.

I reacted immediately, as if when we went out, I had a little cold on my back, I didn't care about it at the time, but now I do.

I just wanted to reach out and touch my back, when I heard Lu Gu Master next door say, "It's strange, where did all the bugs go tonight?" It's almost twelve o'clock, and you haven't come out to forage yet? ”

"Yes, we don't have any bugs here, isn't it early autumn, and the bugs are not very active?" Ji Beibei accosted.

My hand was hanging from the side of my leg, and when I stopped, I realized something was wrong.

I had been walking before, and the bamboo stick in my hand kept stirring the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and although the sound was not loud, it was still quite obvious in this silent night.

Those voices came from my back, as if there were a lot of insects crawling, my whole scalp began to tingle, and I shouted: "Uncle Lu, senior sister, you come to me." ”
