1 Silent Village
1 Silent Village
The sky was just dawning. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the morning light shines through the trees, and the gloomy night begins to be expelled. The morning mist and fresh air in the mountains are refreshing.
A quiet village nestled in the mountains.
The people in the mountains woke up early, and there were already people in the village who began to move, and they were mountain visitors who went up to the mountains to collect medicine. The medicinal materials on the mountain are an important economic source for the mountain people, and whoever has the ability to collect the most precious medicinal materials will be able to live a good life. If the medicinal materials are rare enough, you can make a big house and live a life without worrying about food and clothing. You can even go down the hill to the town to make a bigger house, get water, electricity, appliances, and drive a car like the people in the city.
Every ten years, a family in the village can do this. But the rest of the people, in addition to envy, can only obediently stay on the mountain, guard this big mountain, rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, and beg for some life.
Shanbao is a young and promising mountain guest in the village, and he has brought back the best medicinal materials in the village in recent years. So his family has become the richest family in the village, in addition to a blind old lady, he also has the most beautiful wife in the village. My wife has just become pregnant, and Shanbao is working harder than before in order to give his wife and children better food. Every day, the first one went into the old mountain and searched for precious medicinal materials in the most dangerous places.
Shanbao's biggest dream is to find a big mountain ginseng, or Tai Sui, or wild Ganoderma lucidum, or the best lion's mane mushroom. Those can be bought at a good price. But these superb treasures have aura, and they are not something you can bump into if you want to. Therefore, Shanbao has to work tirelessly for this reason.
Today is no exception, Shanbao is the first mountain guest to go up the mountain, at least he thinks he is the first mountain guest to go out of the mountain. When he reached the entrance of the village, he bumped into a man.
This man was a burly man, half a head taller than Shanbao. Shanbao's height is quite tall in the village, close to 1.80 meters, and this person is almost 1.85 meters. But this man doesn't look as strong as Shanbao, after all, people who climb rocks and trees all day long have more than twice as thick their hands and feet as half of them.
Although this man is tall, he is holding his hands and bending his back, looking shorter than Shanbao, and he seems to be obscene, without the vigor of Shanbao.
It's nothing, and the most annoying thing is that this guy is so dirty that he never looks like he washes it, and it smells rancid. His hair was long like that of a wild man, and he was sloppy. The clothes on his body were so tattered that they were all locks and locks.
When Shanbao bumped into this person, he covered his nose and wanted to dodge, but unfortunately the road at the head of this mountain village was so wide, and the guy walked over in the middle of the road, and Shanbao couldn't avoid it. He covered his nose and mouth, and frowned as he brushed shoulders with the "wild man".
It's disgusting.
Just as Shanbao was about to leave, he suddenly felt strange, turned around and asked, "Willow girl, where have you been so early?" ”
When the "wild man" heard this, he stopped, turned around, pointed to the mountain, and looked stupidly like a two-year-old child, and popped out two words word by word, "Hole, pee." ”
"You went to the cave to pee again?" Shanbao asked.
The "wild man" nodded diligently, his unkempt and dirty hair fluttering on his face, completely covering his face, and it was impossible to see what his face was like.
This wild man was called Willow by the villagers, and he was a stranger. His mother is the distant niece of a lonely old lady in this village. Chang Ta is good-looking, and when Shanbao's daughter-in-law, who is regarded as the most beautiful woman in the village, is youngest and most beautiful, she is not as beautiful as the forty-year-old Liu Shuya. When Willow Shuya's mother came to this mountain village, everyone thought that she was a fairy who had become a fairy in the mountains.
The young men in the village all coveted this woman, but when they came to this mountain village, the people were simple and did not bully people. Second, this willow girl's mother knows kung fu and understands medical skills, and no one dares to beat her idea. When she came to the village for only a month, just in time for a mountain leopard rushed into the village, the village's strong labor hunters held knives, guns and sticks, and did not clean it up, the mountain leopard was driven to the house of the willow tree's mother, everyone gasped, thinking that the willow girl's mother was going to be finished, but did not think that when everyone rushed into the house, the mountain leopard had a bright scalpel stuck in his neck, lying on the ground and convulsed, and the blood flowed all over the ground. Willow sat on the edge of the bed and gasped for breath.
As soon as the hunters saw it, the scalpel was pierced on the throat artery of the mountain leopard, the knife was small, but it was stable, accurate, ruthless, and heavy when it entered the flesh, and it was impossible for a master to do this.
Just this hand that was revealed shocked the people in the village.
Later, I found out that Liu Shuya's mother was still pregnant at that time, otherwise, she wouldn't even be panting. It's just that the big guys don't know who Willow's father is, and later someone asked Willow's aunt, but the aunt just shook her head, didn't speak, and told everyone not to ask. So they stopped asking.
Maybe it was the fetal gas that time, and then Liu Shuya was born with a difficult birth, gave birth for a long time, and did not give birth, and there was no caesarean section in the village, and the loss of this mother's two lives was big, and finally gave birth, but unfortunately the little doll suffocated her brain and became a fool.
Willow Mother was naturally very sad, but after all, the child was finally alive, so she had to devote herself to raising the child to adulthood.
In addition to her brain, Liu Shuya has a good body, she is tall and healthy, and she is also taken care of by Liu Shuya's mother.
The two of them lived at the aunt's house in the village. Liu Shuya's mother knows how to heal, and she can heal patients better than the mountain guest who knows the most about herbal medicine in the village, and she is ten times more powerful than You Fanglang. So Liu Shuya's mother treated everyone in the village, and everyone also followed Zhou Ji to help their mother. Therefore, the two of them have some status in the village, and they are not bad.
It's a pity that when Liu Shuya was nineteen years old, this stupid child followed a few children in the village who were less than ten years old to play by the lake, but fell into the water, and when he was rescued, he was already unconscious.
Willow Shuya was going crazy, begging the old and young masters in the village to help move Willow Shuya's body to a deep hole in the mountains. At first, everyone didn't know that there was such a cave, and they didn't know how the willow girl found this precious cave.
The cave was cool and shady, and the old people said that the cave might lead to the underworld.
This was just a rumor, but they found an old lump of ice one meter square in the deepest part of the cave, and it was white and cold. Willow Tree's mother asked someone to put Willow on top of the ice, saying that it could make this cool air revive Willow Tree. She also begged a few Orion Mountaineers from the village to help her take turns guarding the cave every day, driving away the wild beasts, so as not to hurt the willow tree's body.
Since Liu Shuya's mother came to the village, she has treated many people in the village for a lot of diseases, and no one in the village has not received her favor, so as soon as she opened her mouth, those old and young masters readily agreed to help.
Then the willow girl's mother went down the mountain and didn't know what to do.
Half a month later, Liu Shuya's mother returned to the village, her face was not good-looking, black, and she seemed to have injuries on her body, but she didn't ask anyone. He hurriedly thanked the people who had helped, and told them that they did not have to guard the cave, and sent them back to the village. Then Willow Tree's mother went into the cave alone, and she didn't know what to do.
The people in the village said that Willow must be dead, and his mother must be crazy, and they were very sorry, but on the seventh day, Willow came out of the cave stupidly.
When he came out, he repeatedly said one sentence in his mouth, "My mother is dead." ”
The people in the village looked at the strange thing and went into the cave to look, but they saw that next to the ice lumps, Liu Shuya's mother was actually only a pile of dry bones and hair, and the clothes on her body were wrapped with bones, and the bones of the clothes were all black, and she looked like she was poisoned. There was a pungent stench on the bones and clothes, as well as the sludge underneath.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they thought it was quite strange.
Willow Shuya lay in the cave for half a month, and was able to come back to life, but his mother only stayed in the cave for seven days, and then died like this. Even if a person dies, he will not lose even his flesh. It can be seen that the poison in Liu Shuya's mother is too powerful, swallowing muscles and eating bones.
In such a situation, no one in the village dared to touch the bones and relics of Liu Shuya's mother, so they could only dig up the earthwork and fill in the deepest part of the hole, so they built a tomb for Liu Shuya's mother, and then set up a tablet at the entrance of the cave, writing "Aunt Jiang's Tomb".
I don't know if this "Aunt Jiang" is an honorific title, or if Liu Shuya's mother is called by this name, anyway, when she came to the village, her aunt called her like this, and the people in the village also called her like this. So she changed her name to "Jiang's daughter", which was much smoother, and Aunt Jiang didn't mind and happily accepted the new title.
When Aunt Jiang died, the three, forty, and fifty-year-old men in the village were very sorry, Liu Shuya's mother was forty years old, and she was still a, and her charm was undiminished. Such a fairy-like person has just turned into a pile of stinky dry bones, which shows the impermanence of life, red face and white bones. It's been embarrassing for a long time.
Not long after Liu Shuya's mother died, his distant aunt and grandmother also died, and Liu Shuya was left alone. He didn't have much survivability. The people in the village saw him pitiful, and remembered his mother's kindness to everyone, so they often gave him leftovers to eat.
But without his mother's care, Liu Shuya, a fool, naturally wouldn't take care of himself, making the house full of stench, so the villagers were reluctant to enter his house later, and they didn't want to get close to him. Just put the food at the door of the willow girl's house, and forget it.
After a long time, the little favor left by Liu Shuya's mother to treat the people in the village was also consumed, and the villagers began to dislike such a burden. It's not that he can't bear the leftovers, the main thing is that this willow girl has a lot of appetite, and the leftovers sent by the village are limited after all, so they can't fill his stomach. So he started looking for food on his own. At first, he dug up the radishes and sweet potatoes in the field to eat, but the villagers saw that he was pitiful, so they forgot it.
Later, this guy actually went to catch the chickens and ducks raised by the villagers to eat. This fool doesn't understand, and he can't pluck his hair and cook it, so he will drink blood and eat meat if he dies. The daughters-in-law and children in the village who watched it felt disgusting and frightened. Once, he killed someone's watchdog alive, and he also tore and ate flesh and blood. The people of the village did not agree, this dog is a good companion of man, a keeper of the house, and a fighter for wild beasts. He was killed like this, he was too lacking in virtue, and the people in the village were simple and angry, so they collectively rose up to drive him away.
The son of the village chief in the village had a strange disease, which was cured by Willow Shuya's mother, so he couldn't bear to ask him to leave, and had the heart to protect him, but it was not a matter for the village to be so tossed by him, so he asked everyone to hide the livestock, and demolished the old house of Willow Shuya in the village, and built a new shack for Willow Shuya on the edge of the village. and called the willow tree to dwell there.
Willow didn't understand anything, and at first she ran to her original home every day, but when she went to the place, the house was gone. He didn't know what was going on, he blinked and his eyes were stunned, and he didn't cry or make trouble. So the chief of the village took him to the hut at the edge of the village.
Over time, Willow will know that she should live in a shack in the future, and she will not run to the old place.
And since he moved to the edge of the village, people in the village occasionally see him pitiful and give him something to eat. But it must have been less than before, but the fool no longer ran into the village, and I don't know what he got to eat.
Since he didn't harass the villagers, everyone was left to him. The village chief would also go over every week to take a look, throw some food to him, and don't let him starve to death, and the rest will not be managed, after all, it is not easy for any family to live, and they are very busy.
