Chapter 3: Doubts about the Remnants of Bones
In the early spring, it was warm and cold, and the warmth originally given by the solar terms was now shrouded in a kind of ominous and riotous; The seemingly warm sunlight seems to have become less important, and even the daily necessary breathing has become a little heavier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info said that Uncle Dong ordered someone to set up a shelf and file the bones as soon as possible, but although the curtain can block people's sight, it can't stop people's words.
"Lao Dong! I have asked Xiao Wu to report to the County Cultural Bureau, but the Cultural Bureau is still on annual leave, and now the Zhuangzi is boiling about this matter, I am afraid that if it goes on like this, it will be easy to make a mess, and I am afraid that you and I will not be able to explain it when the time comes. A chubby middle-aged man in an old-fashioned tunic stamped back and forth around the fire, pushing his sliding eyes from time to time.
"If you want me to say that this matter will pass as soon as it is pressed, don't report it yet, and when the spring freezes and people are busy, where will there be time to talk about these messy idle things; As the days go by, people slowly forget. A middle-aged man with a thin figure and a somewhat capable appearance said.
"Lao Li, how can you do this, you are obviously deceiving your superiors and subordinates, paper will not be able to contain the fire sooner or later, the eyes of the party and the organization are bright, I not only resolutely oppose your behavior, but also hate it." The man in the tunic pushed his eyes and said with a determined look in his eyes.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, you are really brainless when you talk like this, isn't it that the city wall has collapsed, isn't it just that a few old bones have been exposed! Let's find someone to bury it well, it's okay, besides, now this is a mess, it's normal to die a few people, you don't want to make everything so serious, besides, now that the New Year is not over, you make a big deal about it, and we must not be having a good time. Lao Li said and casually threw the cigarette butt into the fire.
"Lao Li, your style of turning big things into small things is really unacceptable to me, everything has to be so fooled, this really makes me wonder all the time, do you think these skeletons are so worthless, the eyes of the common people are used to vent anger; I think this may be a very important archaeological discovery, and as far as my research on the history of this Zhuangzi is concerned, things are not as you say, and if you deal with it in such a hasty manner, I will definitely submit a report to my superiors to report your deception. The middle-aged man who was called Xiao Wang said with a bit of learning.
"I see you've read a lot, but why do you have to be so brainless? In this chaotic age, you are provoking the fire. Seeing Xiao Wang's dead brain, Lao Li lit a cigarette with some anger and smoked it.
"Lao Li! I think what Xiao Wang said is very reasonable, or just follow what Xiao Wang said, let him write a report first, explain the situation in detail, and then hand it over to the county when the time comes. Uncle Dong said slowly.
"Lao Li, look at it, Lao Dong's political consciousness is still high!" After listening to what Uncle Dong said, Xiao Wang also said with a bit of dogliness.
After listening to Xiao Wang's provocation, Lao Li stopped, paused the gray eyes in his hand, glanced at Xiao Li with some disdain, and said in his heart, "Child, it's still too tender." In Lao Li's opinion, he has lived and worked with Lao Dong for so many years, but he knows Lao Dong better.
"But look, Xiao Wang, you see that you have also sent people to the Ministry of Culture, but now everyone is resting for the New Year, you see if you make a big deal about this matter now, you say that there are many men, women and children in the whole Zhuangzi for the New Year, it must be panicked, and the heart of the New Year is not comfortable there, I think this matter is an urgent matter, but a few days in the evening and a few days in the morning are to reflect upwards No, you first prepare the things at that time, and then it will be convenient at that time; As for the city wall, I'll find someone to surround him first, you see, it's okay! Uncle Dong still said unhurriedly.
"Lao Dong, you still talk about it!" Xiao Wang glanced at Lao Li a little proudly.
"Then Xiao Wang, I don't think it's too early, or you go back first to prepare the materials for use at that time, and it won't be a few days, so as not to delay things in a hurry." Old Uncle Dong urged with a smile.
Listening to what Lao Dong said was also very reasonable, Xiao Wang stood up from the fire with some pride, pinched his neckline, and was quite unruly shocked by the tunics that had just bent over and was squeezed out of the pleats, and strode out.
"Are you really going to promise him? Now at this time, I am afraid that the situation will bring great disaster to Zhuangzi. After watching Xiao Wang leave, Lao Li got up and took a cigarette in his mouth, rubbed his hands, and sat down by the fire.
"I'm afraid that if I press it down, it will be turned over at that time, and these days he will not be so strong......" Old Uncle Dong looked at the direction Xiao Wang left and said with some bitterness.
"What can the little loach turn over, when the time comes, if the person we know bite to death, he can still turn the sky." Lao Li said with some excitement, and the flame in his eyes didn't know whether it was a furnace fire or anger.
"It's just that not only a few people know about this today, so many people have seen it in broad daylight, who will you let not open your mouth when the time comes? I can control you and me, but I can't control others, and now this person is afraid that he will take care of himself, and no one can hide it. Uncle Dong said helplessly.
"Alas......" Listening to Lao Dong's words, Lao Li also sighed.
"Now in this world, if this incident happens, if it spreads out and brings any disaster to Zhuangzi, we will be the sinners of this Zhuangzi through the ages, don't say sorry for our ancestors, even the current clansmen are not easy to explain." Old Uncle Dong sighed and said.
"Hey, if you don't do it endlessly, I'll be ruthless and I'll get rid of this annoying little Wang, and I should be moving my muscles and bones in advance." Lao Li said a little ruthlessly after listening to Lao Dong.
"Forget it! We are all this old bones, and besides, the secrets of this family have always been only known by three people, although Xiao Wang is a foreigner, but you and I have not figured out his details until now, I am afraid that it will lead to greater disasters at that time, see if you can turn this matter around, and then explore the details of Xiao Wang, and there is the city wall...... I should have informed Uncle Seventh about this! Old Uncle Dong frowned.
"Seventh Uncle, I informed you a long time ago, but Seventh Uncle recently picked a child......" Lao Li said as he arched his waist beside the stove.
"Is that kid sure it's the kid from the old Zhang family?" Old Uncle Dong was a little surprised.
"Uncle Seventh shouldn't look away......" Lao Li looked serious.
"It's really unpredictable! I thought it was going to be that kid...... But it's not too much of a surprise. Uncle Dong showed a rare smile.
"You mean that fat boy, I think that the old Zhang family is much better than the fat boy, but there are not many accidents for me." Lao Li yawned and said.
"Providence is hard to disobey!" Old Uncle Dong sighed.
"Who's to say no, think about how much better we were than them when we were younger...... Hey, it's not too early, it's time to go. Before the words fell, Lao Li got up and walked away.
Looking at Lao Li's back, Uncle Dong stood in the lobby a little lonely, looking at the portrait on the wall, and said helplessly, "It's going to change......
It is said that good things do not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, and now they dare not say that they spread thousands of miles, and this little Zhuangzi with no two miles of road can boil up all of a sudden, after tea and dinner, almost everyone is talking about the same thing, that is, the three skeletons in this earth city, some of them are far-fetched to associate the little Zhuangzi with the ancient city of Xudu in the mythological story, and even add some mysterious and mysterious things on it, so that children dare not go out for a walk at night, Even the old yellow dog at the entrance of the village often seems to have his head drooped and has lost his spirit.
And the most popular and authentic saying is that this place has been fighting for many years before, but as long as the generals stationed here have not lost a battle, regardless of their talents. It is said that it is because when the ancient city was originally built, no matter how hard the craftsmen worked, the ancient city was always repaired and broken, and it was always repaired here and there, and this city was built the most laborious and costly, in desperation, the general stationed here at that time could only find some feng shui warlocks to take a look, but these capable people and strangers shook their heads and said that there was no way, just when everyone was helpless, a feng shui ghost said that there must be a way for him to take a look, and he took a look at the mentality of rushing to the doctor, but this look is seen out of some doorways, the feng shui ghost is quite a bit of Taoism said that Tianmen Village here feng shui is extremely prosperous, lying on a living dragon, and this dragon is vigorous, building a city is equivalent to imprisoning the dragon here, so the general feng shui layout is naturally not able to trap this living dragon, although ordinary people can not understand, but as soon as I heard what this person said, there is quite some truth, the general is to continue to ask what is the way to crack the Tao, the old Tao is indeed pretending to be mysterious, if there is a way to crack it, you need to look at it here for a few more days. The general asked the Taoist priest how many days it would take, only to hear the Taoist man confidently say, it will not take three days! Three days later, he must have given an answer to the general. It is said that this general capable person is a lot of things, the general is patient and waited for three days, three days later the Taoist priest said: If you forcibly build a city here, there is indeed a law, but this law, that is, to find a person, need this person to carry the city wall, this time the general is confused, where to find such a big living person can carry a city, only to listen to the old Taoist then unhurriedly said, if you want to find a living person must be the true God in the world, but the world is a mortal flesh after all, However, this wall still has to be built after all, but if this city is to be built, it must be buried with living people. The general was furious, and drank until you think about this demon Dao to harm people's lives for no reason, and you can't keep it, saying that you are going to drag that person out and cut it off, only to see that this person is still unhurried and continues to say that the general you and listen to me, although this city is built to harm people's lives, but if this city is built well, it must be impregnable and no one can break it, not only can lock the dragon qi here, but also can add officials to the knighthood, as soon as he heard the words, the general thought for a long time before continuing: In addition to this law, there is another way? The old man replied that there was no other way, and the general continued to ask, but who was the right person to use to martyr the city? As if he had expected this for a long time, the Taoist priest came up with another plan to release the news that someone was needed to martyr the city, to see if there were some willing people, if there was a heavy reward, there would be a brave man under the heavy reward, but the notice was posted for nearly half a month, and there was still no one to receive the reward, after all, everyone knows that it is better to die than to live; In desperation, I could only find the Taoist priest to see if there was any other way, but this Taoist priest told a more vicious plan, that is, quietly shouted the name of the soldier in the middle of the night, if someone answered, then this person would be martyred, but this soldier was always on standby, and someone shouted that it must be an answer, and as a result, all the sergeants who were called were basically selected, and as a result, these people were martyred in the city, not to mention that the old Taoist priest was really powerful, after someone was martyred, this ancient city has never collapsed after its completion, And this place is impregnable, no one has ever been able to break through this place, and the generals are all as the old Taoist said, and the most divine thing in the rumors is that when this ancient city was completed, the sky rose into a giant dragon, hovering over the ancient city, and from time to time let out bursts of dragon roars, and it is an exaggeration to say that in order to commemorate these soldiers, there are war drums.
Of course, this is just some of the more orthodox sayings circulating in the village, but the story is a story after all, that is, people's after-dinner chatter, at most, there are some physical objects to support these stories.
Let's talk about the children who stabbed this basket at the beginning, although a few people are somewhat afraid, but since ancient times, there has been no shortage of those bold people, especially the group of monkeys and two dogs, after the arrogant incident, this group of people was mixed together all day long, thinking about whether they could pull something valuable, but this stone and the fat man became frequent visitors to Uncle Dong's house.
It's not just these children who are staring at this, but also the bookish Xiao Wang, who is like finding a confidant on weekdays, every day in the old city, carefully studying the bones, but it's also strange that the rumors about the old city seem to be recorded by heart, but more with some more rational methods to do some research. Unlike Xiao Wang, Uncle Qi was the first to stand up and advocate the burial of these soldiers, and he was approved by many individuals, firstly because Uncle Seventh was highly respected, and secondly, because Uncle Seventh was also the high priest of the annual sacrifice. Under the two, public opinion is also slowly leaning towards the seventh uncle, but this little Wang is too strong to let others persuade him, and it has no effect at all, so he has been letting it go like this.
