210 Once upon a time there was a mountain and there was an old fairy on the mountain
Sheng Qingqing: "......" She was also a little confused, but looking at Uncle Sheng's serious expression, she knew that he was not joking.
She hesitated for a moment, but still in Sheng Zhizhi's disbelieving eyes, she said, "Zhizhi is good, let's go to the back room to avoid it first." ”
Although Fourth Uncle Sheng is a little more serious on weekdays, he is always very good to them juniors, and now he proposes not to let Sheng Zhizhi hear it, after all, it should be for Sheng Zhizhi's good.
Of course, in the past, if there was anything that Sheng Zhizhi couldn't hear, she was always looking for excuses to break her up, but now saying it to her face like this must have hurt the little girl.
Seeing Sheng Zhizhi running to the main house with her mouth curled, Sheng Qingqing thought in her heart about whether to make some delicious snacks later, so that she could coax her gentlemen.
But now the top priority is to listen to what "secret" Uncle Sheng is going to say.
"Fourth uncle?"
Fourth Uncle Sheng glanced left and right to make sure that there was no one else nearby, and then looked at the distance between the main house where Sheng Zhizhi was hiding from here, and then lowered his voice and said, "This matter has a great relationship with Shengjia Village, so it must not be known to outsiders." So I can only pass it on to the men in the village, Qing girl, I think you are a strict mouth, so I reluctantly tell you some facts. ”
Sheng Qingqing pursed her lips, not surprised by this answer.
If it weren't secretive, Fourth Uncle Sheng wouldn't have to make such a big deal and "offend" Sheng Zhizhi. If I could tell outsiders, the old village chief would not have convened the strong men in the village in the past few days, and none of the women and children had been seen.
However, Fourth Uncle Sheng said it so directly, which was a bit unexpected by Sheng Qingqing.
Does she look so trustworthy?
Fourth Uncle Sheng seemed to see her thoughts, and said expressionlessly: "I'm really curious to see you, and I'm worried that if I don't tell you some of these secret things, you will find them yourself." That's just too dangerous. ”
Sheng Qingqing: "......"
It turned out that I didn't think she could be trusted, but she was too untrustworthy.
Fourth Uncle Sheng coughed and swallowed back another reason. In addition to this, of course, there is also the relationship of eating people's soft mouths. Just finished eating such a delicious roast chicken, the little girl looked at it with a blank eye, and she couldn't bear to say it, what a hard-hearted person she should be!
"How dangerous is it?" The atmosphere was a little awkward, Sheng Qingqing wisely changed the topic, and while pouring tea for Uncle Sheng, he said tentatively: "In the past few days, the village chief and grandfather have gathered everyone in the village, except for looking for Brother Xiaoyu, it is because of this matter." If it was dangerous, I didn't see anything wrong, and the uncles and brothers in the village were just a little tired. ”
Before, she thought it was a relationship with someone, but now it seems that there is another reason?
Uncle Sheng Si picked up the cup of tea that had been refilled, took a sip lightly, and then threw down a big thunderbolt lightly, he said: "This matter is the same thing as finding Niu Yu." ”
Sheng Qingqing: "What?! ”
Now she was really surprised.
Isn't Niu Yu missing? What does it have to do with the secret of Shengjia Village?!
Doesn't it mean that the matter of Shengjia Village is the most secret thing in the village and cannot be passed on? Niu Yu is strictly counted, but he is not from the village. How could his disappearance have anything to do with this?
"At first, I was also surprised, that kid from the Niu family looked completely unrelated to this matter, but in the past few days, I found that Niu Yu was indeed missing because of this matter." Uncle Sheng explained slowly.
His expression was calm, and after Sheng Qingqing was surprised for a while, he was also infected by this emotion and slowly calmed down.
In any case, judging from Uncle Sheng's attitude, Niu Yu should be fine.
So......
"Fourth uncle, what the hell is going on? Can it be treated so carefully by the village? ”
She always thought that Shengjia Village was just an ordinary village, but now it seems that her understanding is still a little shallow?
"Our village is indeed very ordinary." Uncle Sheng said this, but the lingering pride in his words was completely unignorant, and then he said: "What really makes our village unique is the back mountain." ”
He glanced at Sheng Qingqing, lowered his voice again, and said mysteriously: "We have a god in the back mountain!" ”
Sheng Qingqing: "............"
This time, she didn't care about talking, pulled the corners of her mouth, and poured herself a cup of tea for the first time, she wanted to suppress her shock.
What is the back mountain?
She really knows each other. On the third day of crossing over to Shengjia Village, she went to the back mountain with Sheng Zhizhi, and also picked a lot of mushrooms on the mountain and caught two snow-white rabbits. The two rabbits are still honestly eating the grass fed with the space spring water in the backyard, fat and cute, with snow-white fur, and they see that the third litter is about to give birth.
Later, the "immortal things" in her hands that Sheng Qingqing and the Cheng family said were also picked from a col in the back mountain. Of course, it was all a lie she had made.
She never expected that there really was a so-called "fairy" in the back mountain?!
Why would a god nest in this foothill? What is the picture of the old man of the gods?
When Uncle Sheng saw her expression, he thought that Sheng Qingqing didn't believe it.
"Miss Qing, don't you believe it?"
The corners of Sheng Qingqing's mouth twitched slightly, "This, a strange and chaotic thing, is inevitably a little unacceptable." ”
Even if she was reborn, even if Sheng Zhizhi said that she had met a monster last night, Sheng Qingqing's first reaction when she encountered this kind of supernatural thing was to explain it with science and reality. Like the ancients, it is really difficult to agree with the gods and monsters at every turn.
Fourth Uncle Sheng shook his head, "What's so hard to accept about this." Let me ask you, you have lived in the village for more than ten years, so what disasters have the village experienced? ”
Sheng Qingqing was suddenly asked.
In the memory of the original owner, the land of Shengjia Village, including several nearby villages, has always been smooth. There has never been a disaster like a drought or a flood. This is also why the life in Shengjia Village is quite affluent, at least everyone can eat and drink enough.
In these years, science and technology were backward, and there were often floods or droughts. For example, Kong Gaoming's town is actually not far from here. In modern times, it is also the distance from the neighboring city. But before Kong Gaoming's hometown suffered from torrential rains, floods and plagues, Shengjia Village was indeed extremely calm, not to mention the plague, even a big rainstorm did not appear.
It stands to reason that if there can be a disaster such as flooding in a neighboring city, it is unlikely that Shengjia Village will be spared.
But the climate here seems to be very stable every year. Warm spring days, hot summers, bleak autumns, cold winters. Although it does not have to be like spring all year round, the stable change of the seasons can also allow farmers to better care for the crops in the field, at least in time for planting or harvesting before climate change.
In modern times, there are satellites that follow climate change, so farmers can advance temperature changes. And how do the people of Shengjia Village know this, they can plant and harvest in time every year, all because the climate of Shengjia Village is too stable, and there is no error of a few days even in the time of winter and spring.
Not to mention the intermittent memories of the original owner in the past, Sheng Qingqing remembered the scene in the village at the beginning of spring this year, and couldn't help but be silent.
Over there, Uncle Sheng sighed: "It's all because of the immortals in the back mountain, that's why our village is so stable." ”
Sheng Qingqing held back for a while, and couldn't help but say, "But what does that immortal have to do with the disappearance of Brother Xiao Yu?" ”
She barely believed in the existence of that "immortal", although she still felt a little suspicious, but now the focus is obviously not this.
"It can't be that the gods in the back mountains need sacrifices, right?"
Although judging from Uncle Sheng's expression and words, Niu Yu should not be in any danger, Sheng Qingqing still couldn't help but guess like this. The main reason is that in the books she has read before, most of the "immortals" who have never heard of the name need to have sacrifices.
Like boys and girls or something......
Fourth Uncle Sheng slapped her on the head, his eyes narrowed, and he said angrily: "What are you talking about?!" How could an old immortal do such an evil thing! ”
Sheng Qingqing: The slap on the head of the "......" was not very painful, but Uncle Sheng's reverent attitude made her a little depressed.
Could it be that the "old fairy" in Houshan really has such a high prestige in Shengjia Village? He never does evil things, he is a good "fairy" who does not ask for anything in return and helps others? Isn't it the reincarnation of Lei Feng!
At this time, Fourth Uncle Sheng coughed, "But sacrifices are still needed." ”
Sheng Qingqing: "......," she said.
"What sacrifices are needed?"
There should be no need for a big living person, otherwise Uncle Sheng and the people of Shengjia Village would not be so respectful of this "immortal". People are afraid, if the wind and rain in Shengjia Village are exchanged for "human sacrifice", then even if the villagers will respect the "gods", when they mention it, there will be some fear in their words.
But Sheng Qingqing noticed it just now, when Uncle Sheng mentioned the "immortal" in the back mountain, there was only reverence in his words, and there was no other emotion.
It seems that he is really not an "evil god"?
"It's just some melons, fruits, livestock and the like." Fourth Uncle Sheng said casually. He has been in the village for decades, and it is not the first time he has participated in worship, and he was a little surprised at first, but then he was just ordinary.
Sheng Qingqing pondered for a moment, and then she didn't intend to care about it. This "god" has existed in the back mountain for a long time, so the people of Shengjia Village are probably used to it. She, the one who will leave sooner or later, cares too much and is useless.
"Then Fourth Uncle, what you said about the disappearance of Brother Xiao Yu, does it have anything to do with the old immortals?" She shifted the subject.
Fourth Uncle Sheng really followed the topic and said, "That kid from the Niu family is reckless this time. ”
Sheng Qingqing listened attentively, and by the way, filled his empty teacup again.
Fourth Uncle Sheng took a sip of tea with satisfaction, and then continued: "Although the old fairy is good at talking, he only cares about our neighboring villages, if a foreigner bothers rashly, he will be punished by the old fairy." ”
