Chapter 172: Skull Flower

Chen Yimu walked forward along the road and walked for twenty minutes before he saw a bus stop sign.

Jiayuan Village Bus Station.

"Whew, this station is really far enough, it's exhausting!" Chen Yimu sat on the bench under the stop sign and rested.

From Nankui Village to Jiayuan Village, not counting the time delayed in the middle, Chen Yimu walked for nearly an hour.

Just as Chen Yimu was resting, a bus came from a distance and stopped at the stop sign.

A person got out of the car and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm really afraid that you will leave, so I hurriedly came back by car." ”

Chen Yimu looked up and saw that it was Hu Wei who got out of the car.

"Uncle Hu, you told me to wait for you, where can I drive away." Chen Yimu said with a smile.

Hu Wei patted Chen Yimu on the shoulder and said happily: "Count you as a kid, go, go to my house, I'll cook two dishes, let's have a good chat." ”

"Good!"

Chen Yimu was not interested in chatting, but in eating, because he was so hungry.

Jiayuan Village is built on the side of the road, there is a memorial arch at the intersection, and there are houses on both sides, and rows of houses are next to each other.

The village is full of two-story bungalows, seven or eight in a row, extremely neat.

Hu Wei's home is on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, and there is a blessing word hanging at the door.

"It's a bit shabby in the room, just sit down." Hu Wei pushed the door open and said.

Chen Yimu walked into the house and saw that the back half of the first floor was a kitchen stove, and the first half was used as a living room.

"You sit down first, I'll fry two dishes, and it'll be good right away!" Hu Wei pulled a chair and said.

"Thank you, I'm sorry Uncle Hu!" Chen Yimu thanked him.

"You're welcome."

Hu Wei went to the stove to get busy, while Chen Yimu sat on the chair and looked curiously.

Originally, I thought that the light would be very dim in this kind of tube building.

Unexpectedly, the door was open, and the light was extremely bright, so there was basically no need to turn on the light during the day.

There is a wooden staircase at the back of the room that leads to the second floor.

Chen Yimu saw that Hu Wei was lighting a fire, so he got up and walked towards the stove.

"Uncle Hu, I'll help you make a fire, it's better to hurry up this way." Chen Yimu said.

Hu Wei was a little embarrassed, and then nodded: "It's okay, otherwise the time will be a bit long." ”

Hu Wei took out a piece of bacon from the basket and fried it with the greens he picked from his field in the morning.

Grab the crucian carp from the fishing net last night from the basin and prepare to make a braised crucian carp.

"Uncle Hu's house, are you living alone?" Chen Yimu asked while lighting a fire.

"The child lives in the city, and my wife goes to help take care of the grandson, I can't stay, but the village is comfortable!" Hu Wei laughed.

Chen Yimu smiled: "Haha, I didn't say it, then you really can't enjoy it." ”

"You're really right, I'm really not blessed with a life, as soon as I get to the city, I feel uncomfortable, stay for three days at most, and if I stay one more day, I will scratch my heart and liver, this taste is not good." Hu Wei nodded at Chen Yimu with an exaggerated expression.

"Eh, Uncle Hu, what's that?" Chen Yimu turned his head and saw a potted plant at the corner of the stairs, and asked curiously.

Hu Wei followed Chen Yimu's gaze and said, "That's a skull flower, we have it in every household here, bless you with peace." ”

"This shape is a little scary, but can it still bless peace?" Chen Yimu was puzzled.

The skull flower, as its name suggests, has skull-like flowers hanging from its branches, and its color is gray.

"Although the appearance is ugly, but the ancestors said that this flower can swallow the dirty things that enter the house, otherwise the dirty things are close, if someone in the village is frightened, they will pick a flower and drink it, and it will be fine the next day!" Hu Wei explained.

I didn't expect such a strange-shaped flower to have such an effect.

The two chatted, and in less than half an hour, the two dishes were ready to be served.

Hu Wei then pulled out a clear plastic bucket from the cupboard.

"You can't drink without this!" Hu Wei poured out a plate of peanuts.

An old man and a young man drank wine, ate food, and chatted.

"Xiao Chen, you are from Zhongyun City, why did you come here alone?" Hu Wei asked.

Chen Yimu took a bite of food and replied: "I, I'm here to travel, to see the River Lantern Festival, and then I saw that the mountain villages here are very beautiful, so I walked and played." ”

"Then you're pretty good, it's dozens of kilometers away from here." Hu Wei's eyes widened, and he admired Chen Yimu's perseverance.

Chen Yimu smiled: "Playing while walking, you won't be too tired." ”

"It's good to be young, you have time, energy, you can play casually, come and drink!" Hu Wei was very envious.

"Uncle, you can do it too, do it!"

The two drank it all.

"Uncle Hu, can you tell me about this skull flower?" Chen Yimu said.

Hu Wei nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”

A long time ago, there was an epidemic in the village, and it was either dead or injured.

The villagers sought medical advice everywhere, but they were unable to control the epidemic, and there were fewer and fewer people in the village.

One day, a villager was suffering from illness for a long time, and wanted to find a place in a remote location, so he decided on his own.

When he was thirsty, he saw a stream not far away, so he stepped forward and took a few sips of the water.

Walking towards the mountain, he had just tied the rope to the tree, but he was exhausted and fainted to the ground.

When he woke up, it was the second day, and he was about to hang himself.

But I found that I was no longer wheezing, and the long-term lesions on my arms were gone.

Overjoyed, the villagers ran all the way back to the village, shouting that they were cured.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly rushed up to ask about the situation.

The villager didn't know how to answer for a while, and he didn't know how he could do it at that time.

If you think about it carefully, you have drunk the water of the stream since you went out to the mountains, and it must have been the stream water that cured you.

As soon as the news came out, everyone ran towards the stream with buckets and basins.

The villagers who had drunk the water from the stream were all well the next day.

To find out what was going on, they followed the creek upstream.

I saw that at the source of the stream, there was a plant growing with skull-shaped flowers, and the roots of the plant overflowed with a trace of black sap, flowing towards the stream.

The villagers regard them as sacred objects and love them very much.

The next year, a skull flower grew on the shore, which happened to be a family in the village.

So everyone dug up one and planted it at home, worshipping it as if they were gods.

……

"It's amazing!" Chen Yimu felt a little incredulous.

"But later, some people said that it was not the credit of the flowers, but that at that time, the human body had immunity, and everyone's illness was naturally cured," Hu Wei shook his head and said.

Chen Yimu agrees with this point of view, if this skull flower is really a divine object, then there should not be an epidemic at that time.

The two drank and chatted, and before they knew it, they drank too much......
