Chapter 15 Involving the Hunan and Chu Army
In sight, the dwarf had already entered the lobby of the new house.
"Tan Immortal." The dwarf bowed when he entered the room, but his speech was not very clear.
Tan Jianguo hurriedly helped him up.
Tan Song asked kindly, "Zhang Liu, have you eaten?" ”
Zhang Liu shook his head with a dull gaze.
Tan Song handed his bowl of rice to the dwarf.
Zhang Liu took the meal, devoured half of it, and stuffed the remaining half into the cloth bag he brought.
Tan Jianguo frowned, the bag was black and very unclean, so he walked out of the door and picked two palm leaves, handed them to Zhang Liu, and asked him to wrap the food.
Zhang Liu wrapped the food stiffly, and bowed to Tan Song again, "Tan ..... Tan Xianren, can you go with me today?" ”
Tan Song nodded and glanced at Tan Jianguo.
Seeing that Tan Jianguo brought out a kerosene lamp from the back room, the grandfather and grandson did not speak, and followed Zhang Liu out of the new house and onto the avenue.
Zhang Rulong and the bird followed.
"I can see it." Zhang Rulong said, "It's spring, you see, I found a peach tree, and the peach tree is blooming." ”
The little bird nodded, "Because there is no vegetation here, I really can't tell what season it is, it should be spring." ”
Zhang Rulong smiled at his observation.
The little bird quietly rolled his eyes, this one was still like a dragon...... Such...... Novel ideas......
"There are no trees in the village, but there are peach trees." Zhang Rulong continued, "This represents the culture of this village, which is very chic! ”
Only then did the little bird know what Zhang Rulong meant: This is a village that believes in ghosts and gods!
The little bird blushed, secretly glad that he didn't just sarcastically ......
The two of them didn't say anything more and continued to follow closely.
Zhang Liu took everyone all the way to the west, walked next to the avenue for a while, and went straight up the mountain, which took about an hour or so to cross a mountain.
Anyway, it's all loess mountains, and there's no symbolic landform, let alone night.
Zhang Rulong took advantage of the moonlight to take a hurried look at the layout of the village on the mountain, and felt that it seemed a little strange, but he didn't see any big names, thinking that this should be the legendary dragon head ridge, oh, no, it should be called Jinpu Township now, and simulated this feng shui layout in his mind, so he followed everyone down this mountain again.
"Little bird, you are a Huanglong spirit, do you have any feelings for this piece?"
The bird wondered, "No, this is VR, how can I feel it?" It's not really in this mountain, what? Is this place exquisite? ”
"Exquisite." Zhang Rulong said, "This piece is man-made feng shui, it should be someone dug a reservoir in the southern mountains, and then the water flows down the mountain from the middle to irrigate the fields." There are mountains in the south, east and west, and only a small place in the north has no mountains.
"So I speculate that someone dug up the northern mountain and deliberately made a small gap to create the shape of the Guanyin Jing bottle. In the middle of the three mountains, the field is arranged in the shape of a lotus flower. I don't understand this feng shui, but it's definitely good feng shui. ”
"So there's a master here?" The bird wondered.
"If there is a high man, he must be taller than me, but I suspect that the high man has passed away." Zhang Rulong said with a smile, "Moreover, it may be Buddhist, not Taoist, this feng shui is the potential of Guanyin." There should also be temples on the mountains in the East, this is a Buddhist theory, I don't know too much. ”
"It's a good place to choose." Zhang Rulong sighed, "These three mountains are all high but not steep, even if there is no vegetation at all, there will be no landslides when it rains." ”
As they were talking, the group had already reached a halfway up the hill.
By the moonlight, it can be found that someone here has set up a tent out of cloth, and a pair of legs can be vaguely seen sticking out of the tent.
Tan Jianguo and Tan Song stood still, walked to a place with better lighting, and looked down on Jinpu Township.
"There were five people sleeping in the two-square-meter shed on the hillside." Tan Song took out two small pieces of white paper from his arms, took out a handful of tobacco shreds in his pocket, rolled two cigarettes, and divided one cigarette with Tan Jianguo.
This is the Zhang family.
Former landlord in the next village.
Why can you see it? Because there was a sign hanging on their tent: "Yueshan Bay landlord lackey, Zhang Da Niu." ”
"How long can a landlord live?" The little bird asked Zhang Rulong.
"At the beginning, the landlord was only deprived of his property, and then he would be reformed, and there was no decree that the landlord had to die." Zhang Rulong said, "But Grandpa Tai said before that when dealing with local tyrants and inferior gentry, you have to knock them to the ground, put high hats on them, and step on them." In the 1970s, people in the society took out what Taizu said again to study in a pattern, which was equivalent to a holy decree, so the landlords were tossed again, and few survived. ”
"Then there's one right now." Li Qi pointed to Zhang Daniu's shed.
"I believe there's a reason." Zhang Rulong looked at the shed carefully.
Anyway, on the hillside, Zhang Liu had already run down.
Because of Zhang Liu's shouting, the people in the shed woke up, and five people crawled out one after another.
The two old men should be a husband and wife, the man seems to be blind, and the woman's leg is broken.
And the remaining three people in their thirties, like three demented, hara-haired, unclothed, are all men.
"Well, you understand?" Zhang Rulong looked at the bird.
The bird shook his head, "I don't understand. ”
Zhang Rulong smiled and shook his head, "In the countryside now, although they say that they want to defeat the cow ghosts and snake gods, they are more fearful of ghosts and gods in their bones. You see, at the beginning, we found that Zhang Liu's life was damaged, and the Zhang family, the landlord's family, and the four sons, all looked like this ghost, what does that mean? ”
"Got it." Xiao Bird nodded, "No one dares to touch them, the life of this family is broken, it should be Tan Song who told the people in the village, don't touch this family, for fear of being infected with the disaster." ”
Zhang Rulong nodded, "It should be like this, this ancestor of the Tan family should understand the law and have a certain prestige in the village, so he can be regarded as using metaphysics to save the life of this landlord." As for why Tan Song's 'dregs of the old society' has not been criticized, let's look at it first, there must be a reason. ”
Xiao Bird nodded, "Listening to what Grandpa Tan Song said in the lobby, it should be difficult for the other Tan family members to ask him not to meddle in this matter." ”
On the other side, Tan Song and Tan Jianguo swallowed the clouds and spit fog, as if they were talking.
On the hillside, the dwarf took a large handful of rice from the cloth bag and fed everyone a large mouthful, which was considered to be finished.
Zhang Rulong and Xiaoniao came to the Tan family's grandchildren to see what they were talking about.
"Grandpa, what's going on with this Zhang family? Are close relatives married? Why can we help them? ”
"It's not a consanguineous marriage." Tan Song sighed, "Grandpa will tell you a piece of history." ”
"yes, okay." Tan Jianguo nodded.
Zhang Rulong and Xiao Bird listened attentively, could this be the secret of the Red Axe House?
"During the Guangxu period, we had a second-class member of the imperial court here, who belonged to the Chu army of Zuo Zongtang's lineage.
After he returned to his hometown, all this land was rewarded to him by the Qing court. He listened to the advice of a monk of Rota Monastery, and after his death, he asked his descendants to disperse all their property to the villagers. Otherwise, there will be great calamity. ”
