Chapter 912: An Eventful Year
1. "Since the person has been snatched away, what is the use of arresting someone, what is the use of kidnapping my senior brother and junior sister?" Hong'er asked the village chief angrily.
"That's right, why are you kidnapping me? I can really help you find someone, how many times have I said it, you just don't believe it! Yun Zhen exclaimed unconvinced.
"What if you run away? You're so slippery that you say something inconsequential, you say you can catch demons? Look at your little body, the ghost believes it! "The young man who gave the rope to the mercy star didn't look down on Yun Zhen very much, and he didn't have a good attitude when talking to him.
"Second brother, how can you speak, shut up for me!" As soon as the old man slapped the table, the young man immediately shut up and lowered his head.
"Demon?" At the beginning of the day, when he heard the young man mention the demon, he immediately felt that this matter was not so simple.
"I know that the madman who captured my eldest son has nothing to do with you people, but he is your man, you should also contribute, to tell the truth, if the madman robs people, we don't take it seriously, there are so many great young men in our village, three or five can't beat him, and ten or eight can't rob someone? But who would have thought that madman took my son to the Resentful Girl Peak, this ...... Alas! The village chief sighed and looked sad.
The village chief's mouth is the peak of a high mountain located in the northwest of the village, because of the steepness of the mountain, the mountain people have never set foot there, but a place that no one has ever visited, why does it have a name? And it's such a special name - Resentful Female Peak?
The Resentful Girl Peak is special not only in its name, but also in itself, where the four seasons are evergreen, in the winter when the grass is withered and the trees are withered, everywhere is barren and yellow, and there is still a piece of green, like a piece of jade embedded in the yellow sand.
But why does such a beautiful place have such a strange name?
It all started with a flood 10 years ago.
It is said that strange things are easy to happen in strange years, this is not just a casual talk, all the rumors in the world are more or less grounded.
Ten years ago, in the early spring, the branches had just sprouted, and the weeds had just poked out their small yellow heads.
This heavy rain came too violently, as if the Milky Way was pouring down, frightening the villagers, the heavy rain was pouring down, like a scoop, and it was half a month at once.
Torrential rains triggered floods, and the torrent of mud, gravel and fallen trees from the mountains rushed to the village with a thunderous momentum, destroying houses and farmland, burying livestock alive and leveling the once fertile village overnight.
At that time, there were more than 300 people in the small village, and the mudslide poured into the village in the middle of the night, burying the entire village under the mud and sand almost instantly, and there was no chance to escape for their lives.
But the more than 300 people in this village miraculously all survived, not because they were lucky, nor because they had anything extraordinary, but because they had a good village chief.
At that time, Liu Zhanyuan, the village chief in his early forties, was a resourceful and decisive, resolute and calm leader, he had been the village chief since he was fifteen years old, and he had great prestige in the village for many years.
From the third day of the rainstorm, the village chief Liu Zhanyuan began to worry, he insisted on going up the mountain in the rain every day to check the situation, and he was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.
Waiting until the fifth day, the village chief found that the torrential rain had loosened the soil without turf, and there was a danger of collapse, and the most important thing was that the torrential rain seemed to show no signs of stopping, but the momentum was getting stronger and stronger.
Village Chief Liu made a decision, he knocked on the door from house to door in a cloak and told the villagers to hide in high places, and the village might not be saved.
The rain was so heavy that people couldn't open their eyes or hear their words, and the villagers gave up everything in their homes under such difficult conditions, including the livestock that they couldn't drag away and the belongings they had saved for their ancestors, and braved the torrential rain to go up the mountain.
The young man carried the old man on his back, the woman held the child, and the single man carried two chickens when he had nothing to bring, and the villagers took everything that was worth the money and moved at home, and temporarily settled down in the place chosen by the village chief Liu in advance.
Those days were unbearable, relying on the little food they had, first eating the old and the children, and the young people were so hungry that they gnawed on the bark of trees, ate insects, and ate anything they could swallow.
Hunger is not actually the worst, the worst thing is that the torrential rain that lasts for many days makes people soak in water all the time, this uncomfortable feeling can not be described in words, everyone is swollen like a corpse that has been dead for many days, wet everywhere, even sleeping in the puddle, not resting well at all.
The harsh environment has made many people in the village sick, and the invasion of moisture has made it difficult for them to walk, and the joint pain is unbearable all year round.
After surviving the hellish ten days, the sky finally cleared, and the villagers were so excited that they cried when they saw the golden sunlight and the distressing blue sky.
The flood not only buried their village, but also swept the steep and straight mountains around them out of the rounded curves, and the mountains were full of trees that were like hair on their heads.
The disaster did not destroy the will of the villagers, and Liu Zhanyuan led the villagers to begin a long process of reconstruction, building the current village on the sand and gravel where they had been buried.
Because it takes a lot of wood to build a village, from this time on, the story of them and the resentful girl peak officially began.
The young people of the village have to go up the mountain every day to cut down trees, because there are so many fallen trees, they only pick those thick and straight ones and pull them back, and soon the good timber around the village is gone, and they gradually continue to look for higher places.
Ten years ago, the two sons of the Liu family were still children, and because they were not old enough to participate in logging and building houses, they had to take the initiative to help find good timber like other children in the village.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the son of a mouse can make holes, and the son of the village chief is indeed outstanding among children of the same age, and the brothers find the best wood, and the most enjoyable thing for the brothers every day is to compete to see who finds the thicker and longer wood.
The eldest Liu Yilang is ten years old, the second Liu Erlang is eight years old, Ichiro is introverted and honest, delicate and delicate, but he has the strength to not admit defeat, he is the kind of stubborn donkey who recognizes one thing and can't pull back ten cows, and the friends in the village call him Liu Xiaodonkey behind his back, but he doesn't mind.
