Several well-known figures in the village who love to make noise are here, squatting at the door of the village branch smoking and chatting, Huang Xuan's father and son, Xiong Lao's six brothers, the second aunt will naturally be there, Li Bald, my cousin, and the people of the salvage team, and the glasses man is also there.

"Xiao Jiang is here? Let's go inside. The mayor said with a smile. Mr. Sun, call Mr. Charles. ”

"He said he couldn't come, he was only responsible for salvage, and he wasn't interested in us discussing this topic." The man with the eyes said, I don't know what he is, I guess he is Ouyang Xiong's subordinate.

"That's right, Mayor Mayor, that Charles is not from our village." The second aunt said.

"Let's call him, he seems to be quite interested in our village, and he has come all the way from abroad to hear what he wants to play." Xiong Lao Liu said, the tone is not very good, it seems that he is still quite addicted to officials, and he has been the village chief for a few years, and he will change it when he says it, and he will definitely not accept it. But the official level crushed people to death, and the mayor didn't dare to say anything to him, so he could only vent it with a complaining tone.

"That's right, Mr. Sun, hurry up and call, didn't he say that he wanted to use scientific methods to salvage? Just in time we can correct everyone's superstitious thinking. After the mayor finished speaking, Mr. Sun called Charles, in fact, he was in the newly built mobile board house opposite, and he came out after a while.

"Scientific fart, don't you see the big fish today?" The old man Huang Fang scolded.

Everyone nodded, but the mayor didn't see it, and of course he didn't believe how terrible it was. He helped Huang Fang and said: "Mr. Huang, although I also respect Taoism very much, such as what I Ching, Yin and Yang Five Elements, ghost painting talismans and other things, I admire the five bodies to the ground, but now, it is a scientific society, we have to use scientific methods to explain, Guillotine Gorge, no one has salvaged for many years, the water is deep, and it is normal to have big fish!" ”

"Mayor Town, I'm seventy years old this year, I may be older than your father, I haven't seen anything, have you ever seen a big fish eating people in the river? The out-of-town salvage ship was completely wiped out, you talk about science, then send someone to the belly of the big fish to ask someone to try it, and see how many people can come back. Huang Fang said angrily, he is old, and he doesn't give anyone face.

"Didn't those people eat all the big fish?" The mayor laughed. "The first thing we need to do now is to get rid of that big fish, right, everyone has been afraid for so many years, it must be because of that fish."

"There's definitely more to it than just the fish underneath." Old man Huang Fang said with certainty.

After he finished speaking, he knocked on the pipe on the wooden door of the village branch, and the knock was so loud that the mayor did not like him at all. We followed the mayor into the conference room, and I sat in the corner, and these people didn't welcome me anyway. The mayor looked for a long time before he saw me. "Xiao Jiang, come and sit here."

"I'll just sit here." I replied.

"Come here, sit with Chu Mei." Mayor said with a smile.

As soon as I walked to Jiang Chumei's side, the second aunt occupied the seat, and she pointed to the empty stool next to her, "You sit there!" "He also moved his bench a little away, as far away from me as possible, and squeezed Jiang Chumei to the side of the mayor.

Sitting next to her, you can feel the speed of her swallowing melon seeds, it is a must, a handful of melon seeds are thrown into her mouth, and a bunch of melon seed shells come out in less than a minute, and the melon seed shells stained with saliva are not broken. When I was a child, I ate melon seeds with the shell and chewed together, the small watermelon seeds had no meat, I couldn't open them at all, and I couldn't pull out the after eating, so Uncle Liu broke a branch for me and asked me to squat in the toilet and slowly pull it out.

It's hard to imagine how good her oral skills are, no wonder the old men in the village are eyebrow-to-eye with her, especially the single, she is the old goddess of Angelica Village. I don't know if Jiang Chumei has been inherited.

"Xiao Jiang, if you want to get rid of everyone's superstitious concepts, you are a bell that must be untied, your problem is in the Guillotine Gorge, we are applying with the above to change the name of the Guillotine Gorge to Longtou Gorge......" Before the mayor finished speaking, the old man Huang Fang was unhappy.

"Mayor Town, where did you come from? The dragon's head was crushed by the guillotine mountain. The old man had a very stubborn temper, and his son Huang Xuan sat there expressionless and silent.

"Oh, I said you, Mr. Huang, why are your brains so ...... "The mayor said, I guess he wanted to say that he was so stupid, but then he changed the word, and the official is the one who has a good brain." "Change the Broken Head Mountain to Longtou Mountain, and the Broken Head Cliff to a Thousand Feet Cliff, I have thought about all of this, the Broken Head Cliff...... Oh, the thousand-foot cliff is high and smooth, the stone wall is rich and charming, it can be said that it is a gift of nature, and there are many projects that can be developed in the future, rock climbing, bungee jumping, ......"

"Funny, the Broken Head Cliff is the Broken Head Cliff, the Broken Head Mountain is the Broken Head Mountain, the Mountain is the Mountain, the Water is the Water, the Five Elements are mutually reinforcing, not replacing each other, this Mountain is used to suppress the things in the water, if the mountain is changed to a name, can it become the faucet of the water source?" Old man Huang was very excited.

"Chu Mei, see it, the biggest obstacle to abolishing superstition is you elders!" The mayor was embarrassed, smiled and took a cup of tea. "Zodiac chief, tell me, what is there in the water besides that big fish? Isn't it okay if we get rid of that fish? ”

"How do I know? Unless all of our village is moved, you blow up Guillotine Mountain. Old man Huang said.

"There's no point in doing this, these projects are just to make everyone rich, why don't you all move away? Besides, the Guillotine Mountain is so big, it is a unique scenery of the tributaries of the Yangtze River, and it will not be blown up, and the dam is not far downstream, so don't think about it. ”

"Not to mention the things underground, you can't handle the more than 100 hanging coffins." Old man Huang said.

"Pick up all the coffins, bury them in the earth or cremate them, and put them there so that you can sleep well?" The mayor was also angry, and his tone was not very good.

"You can't pick it up." Old man Huang said resolutely.

The mayor probably thought the old man was unreasonable, so he looked at us and hoped that we would have an opinion, but no one spoke. I could only hear the dense sound of swallowing melon seeds like raindrops in the second aunt's mouth.

"Mr. Charles, do you have any way to get the coffin?" The mayor asked.

"It's simple, hang it with a rope and burn it on the spot." Charles said.

"Childish!" Old man Huang said.

"If it doesn't work, just pour gasoline and burn it, how can so many coffins be hung one by one? Cliff climbing is inherently dangerous. Xiong Lao Liu spoke, he meant to stand in line.

"Xiong Lao Liu, don't hurt people." Old man Huang shouted.

"Old yellow head, you kicked your nose in the face, didn't you? Relying on the old and selling the old, Huang Xuan, take your father back to sleep, when you are old, why are you running around in the middle of the night? What should I do if I am killed by a ghost and scare a child? Xiong Lao Liu said angrily, Xiong Hu also glared at Lao Huangtou, their brothers are the most united in the village.

"Let's go, go back to sleep." Huang Xuan always seems to have an opinion about his own Lao Tzu.

"Go aside!" Although the old man Huang Fang's legs and feet were not good, his body bones were quite tough, and when he shook his hand, he hit Huang Xuan's chest.

"Old immortal thing, what kind of madness is going here, believe it or not, go home and starve you for a few days?" Huang Xuan roared, he had always been ghostly, and it was the first time he had seen him so angry.

"Unfilial son, shut up!"

"Alright, alright, don't be ashamed." The second aunt waved her hand and said that the father and son really didn't quarrel. "Old man Huang, don't you like to tell stories and deceive people? Then tell me your old stories. ”

"Haha, old lady, do you still believe his story?" Xiong Lao Liu's words were meaningful, and he couldn't understand what they meant, as if the second aunt had been deceived by Old Man Huang.

"Shut up, shit, you're not qualified to lecture me." The second aunt was not to be outdone. When she said this, Xiong Lao Liu became honest, and these old guys were quite informative!

"It's not a cliché story, it's just thirty years ago." Huang Fang slowly sat down and said, rubbing the tobacco and stuffing it into the black shiny pipe, "Except for these two children, you are all forty or fifty years old, and you were not young back then, don't you know?" ”

After saying that, he looked at me, and I was very puzzled, because it had anything to do with my wool.

"Shuisheng, do you know how your grandfather died?" Huang Fang asked.

"My grandmother seems to have said that there was a flood that year, and he went to inform everyone, and then he drowned." I say.

"That's right, the other half your grandmother didn't tell you." Huang Fang said. "Your grandfather moved up the mountain with us, and the water level of the pond reached the hanging coffin when the flood was huge. After the flood, everyone can't even eat, someone told your grandfather that there is an emperor of the Qing Dynasty in the hanging coffin, and there may be treasures, so your grandfather secretly rowed a small wooden boat to the Guillotine Gorge, and then died, he did not fall into the pond, but was taken by the ghost king in the hanging coffin as a companion. ”

I was dumbfounded, I'd never heard anyone say, "How do you know?" I asked.
