Chapter 43: Barren Mountains and Ancient Ponds
Within a few days, the village knew that the two girls were sick. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info Ruilin thinks that this ridicule is inappropriate, but he can't refute it, after all, this is the best excuse to reconcile the differences in culture and taste between the two sides.
The inhabitants of this mountain village are all working at sunrise and resting at sunset, continuing the habit of thousands of years, without even looking at the watch, as accurate as a biological clock.
I occasionally watch TV at night, but there are only a few stations, and the signal is intermittent.
There are no special products and resources in the mountain village, and the food can be self-sufficient, and some melons, vegetables, fruits and some flowers and herbs are usually planted, and the old village chief organizes people to take them out for money and things every once in a while.
In fact, the people in the mountain villages are not interested in the outside world, without your so-called necessities of life, the ancestors have lived differently for thousands of years?
Rishi's thoughts are more lively, and he has always felt that the villagers' closed life is too backward, the world is endless, and everyone should see the city outside, use the electric toothbrushes and flush toilets of the people in the city, and feel the modern life.
The people in the village expressed their disdain, the ancestor used a stick to wipe his buttocks, and he didn't see anyone who lost a piece of meat; Now I use toilet paper, and I don't see more than one piece of meat on my body; I think the toilet is also used like this, and it won't make anyone have more meat on their bodies.
The values of the common people in this mountain village are also very upright, and the measure of good or bad things is more or less meat on their bodies.
After several ideological encounters, Rishi was finally defeated in front of the stubborn villagers, often shaking his head and sighing that it was terrible to be uneducated.
And the people in the village also think that you have read so many books and are useless, and you are not like everyone else when you come back? For so many years I have read this similar language to the dog to fight back at him.
Fortunately, the mountain villagers are simple, everyone is laughing and laughing at the dinner table, and they will not leave a mustard in their hearts even if they blush, and they will not leave a mustard in their hearts.
Rui Xi felt that there were thousands of people in this mountain village, and his second uncle Qin Xianghe accepted more things from the outside world, and he could get closer to himself ideologically.
You say that the village is humid all year round, the climate is pleasant, the trees are evergreen all year round, the flowers and plants are luxuriant, there is a heavenly lake on the mountain in the north, there are hot springs under the mountain in the south, and there is a thousand-year-old pond in the middle. With such a unique condition, if it is developed into a tourist resource, how suitable it is, those rich bosses in big cities like to experience this pristine scenery.
But the villagers feel that life is very good now, and they don't need outsiders to enjoy it, and they don't need to enjoy the outside world.
There's another headache for Rishi: traffic!
When he was still at school, Rishi discussed with his second uncle on the phone, to go to the township government and apply for some explosives or something, to blow up the mountains and open the road, and to build a decent road to the outside world, so that cars could get in and out of the car - at least there was no need to go around for half a day like now.
Of course, the people in the village are not interested in this kind of thinking, they think that everyone will not go out anyway, so why build roads.
However, with Qin Xiang and support for this matter, everyone is embarrassed to object, after all, he is a senior and steady worker, he is the biggest and only official in the village, and the leader has the final say.
Not opposing, not supporting, not participating, not caring, this is the attitude of the people in Qinhan Village.
The days of this kind of paradise have been boring for a long time, and soon Jin Xia has gone from being very excited at the beginning to being boring now, and always feels that the people in the village always look at her differently.
The people in the village also don't understand her style of changing a bright dress every day.
Whenever Jin Xia dressed up in flowers and branches, thinking that she walked through the village like a landscape, there was a group of people pointing at her.
"This is the one who cut half of his belly (for the villagers, belly and stomach are a concept)."
"It's pitiful, there are poor children in big cities, you see that the clothes are in tatters, they can't even cover their arms and chests, revealing such a large piece of meat."
After eating at Aunt Thirteen's house that day, the four of them walked back, Jin Xia also lost interest in the singing of birds and flowers at this time, and sighed all the way, "You people in the village, you are really rigid, you eat, sleep, and work all day long, and there is no entertainment at all." ”
Rishi glared and said, "Who said that?" Obviously there is one more thing. ”
Jin Xia gave him a blank look. This Rishi has been messing with her for a long time, and sometimes there is no scale for jokes, if you put it in ordinary times, Jin Xia's character will not be taken to heart, and maybe she can laugh at him. But I happened to be in a bad mood these two days, so I didn't bother to talk to him.
Last night, Jin Xia changed into a swimsuit and wanted to swim in the pool in front of the village, but was almost beaten with a cane by an old lady.
After a long time, I realized that this pool of water has such a origin, it is offered as holy water by the people in the village, and no one has ever entered the water for thousands of years, let alone bathed in it.
Rishi explained to her, "The people in the village have little communication with the outside world, they are not civilized, and there are many old customs that have been passed down for thousands of years - it is much better in our generation, and when we have the next generation, our thinking will basically change." Rishi joked with Jin Xia with a hippie smile, and she rolled her eyes again.
Ruilin hesitated, "Why don't we go back in a few days?" School is about to start. ”
Ruixi was anxious when he heard this, this is a hot fight with Wang Juan, how can you send people away, you are a full man and you don't know that a hungry man is hungry!
Things are just starting to make progress, she smiled at me for a little and a half seconds yesterday at dinner, and today she had three seconds more time to talk than yesterday combined. Seeing that you're going to catch up tomorrow, you're going to send people away!
But think about it these days, in addition to eating and shopping, it is to go shopping and eating, and the small village is actually not so big, and it is really tired of going back and forth for a few days.
Then he proposed, "Don't hurry up, we haven't had enough fun, we still have a few plans that haven't been implemented, such as camping!" ”
Jin Xia said angrily, "Don't be funny, what is there to camp in this small broken village?" Everything can be seen at a glance, and let's set up a tent right under people's noses? It's still camping, you're not ashamed, I'm afraid to show up. "I think of the fierce appearance of the old lady yesterday, and now I still have palpitations.
Rishi shook his head and said, "It's not camping here, it's over there!" As he spoke, he pointed into the distance in high spirits.
Everyone looked in his direction into the distance, high places, at the end of the river, is a steep mountain, under the setting sun, the top of the mountain is faintly filled with mist, it looks like a fairyland on earth.
Ruilin's face changed, "You can't go to that place." ”
Jin Xia was interested at this time, "Why can't you go?" ”
Ruilin said, "That place is dangerous, inaccessible, the villagers call it the Broken Soul Peak, there is a peak lake on the top of the mountain, when I was a child, a few children climbed up the mountain to play, and then they all had accidents." The villagers said that they had touched the mountain god and suffered retribution. ”
"Our small village has been smooth and peaceful for thousands of years, and our ancestors said that it was given by the mountain god of this mountain, and the adults usually taught that we should be in awe of the mountain god."
Jin Xia said, "What a mess, it's the god of mountains and the god of water." It's the 21st century, and as a college student who has received modern science and technology education, you actually believe in these things of ghosts, snakes, and gods? ”
Wang Juan said cautiously beside her: "Let's respect the customs in the village." It's been here for many years, and maybe it makes sense. ”
Jin Xia pouted and said: "Foreign explorers like to climb this kind of dangerous mountain that has not been conquered and developed by humans, aren't we here for adventure and curiosity?" Can you be a little adventurous for someone your size? The last sentence was obviously said to Ruilin, who was standing next to him.
As he spoke, he pouted and shook Ruilin's arm coquettishly: "You see that foreigners know how to live, and many couples like to climb mountains. ”
Rishi said, "yes, there are couples hanging in the air and having sex, how exciting!" ”
Jin Xia snorted him and said, "Obscene!" But there was a look of approval in his eyes.
He also said to Ruilin, "We have to believe in science, there are no legends of gods and ghosts in this world." Even if there is an anomaly, it can be explained by physics and science. ”
After that, he shook Ruilin's arm and stomped his feet and said, "Go, go, this is a great time for us to explore and discover." People stay in the village all day and mingle with your seven aunts and eight aunts, it's so boring......"
Ruilin has never been assertive, and at this time, at the instigation of Rui Xi and Jin Xia's coquettishness, he disarmed and surrendered, but symbolically resisted: "Although there is nothing wrong with believing in science, what the old man said always makes sense......
Rishi cheered up next to him: "I see what kind of mountain gods and the like, it's just a trick of the old man to scare the children, we are all college students with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor, and we have mastered advanced science, armed with knowledge and theory, even if there is any mysterious power, I have conquered him!" ”
Wang Juan watched the three of them arguing quietly beside her, and looked at Ruilin with some pity in her eyes.
