Chapter 7: The Punishment of the Peach Blossom Spring
Lin Hua seemed to think of some sad past, and said to himself with a sad face: "There was once a loving couple who came here together, the man was handsome and free, and the woman was beautiful and virtuous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoI also got help from them when I first arrived, because we both have a hobby of tea tasting, I became friends with them, and we get together from time to time to talk about life while drinking tea. If everything goes on like this, it should be a happy ending. Hey, it's a pity that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes. ”
"It can't be that you're in love with that wife, right?" Liu Ji interjected coldly, guessing that this story should be similar to the bloody plot in the domestic TV series that I often watch.
"Haha. If that's a good thing, as you say, they won't even want to leave here, or at least dispose of me. Lin Hua smiled jokingly, but he smiled a little sadly. He did not reprimand Liu Ji, but continued to speak: "After living here comfortably for two years, they finally had the crystallization of love, but when the little life was about to be born, there was a disagreement between the two of them, the husband expected a family of three to live here, while the wife thought that the outside world could provide better education and growth space for children." After much arguing, they finally came to an agreement that the unborn life could not be left with their selfish choices, so they decided to leave. So they kept looking for a way out and tried to get out of here. ”
"Did they leave successfully?" Although Lin Ying knew in her heart that the couple must not have left here, she still fantasized about a beautiful accident in her heart.
Lin Hua patted the armrest of the chair vigorously and sighed: "Hey, I also tried to help them, and I also hope to have a happy ending, but the reality is often cruel." They searched for many exits without success, went to the back mountain and found that there were cliffs on the other side, and ventured to the great river where you came, but in the end they were all unsuccessful. One morning, the two of them suddenly disappeared. We all thought they had found a way out and were about to celebrate for them, when Xiao Ling, who had received you in, came running over and told us that the bodies of the two of them had appeared on the shore. We ran over and saw that their bodies were swollen, the wife had a distinct birthmark on her face, and the husband was very old, and the faces of these two men were very different from what we usually saw. ”
"Ahh How could this be. Lin Ying seemed to imagine the appearance of the husband and wife when they left, and couldn't help touching her face and screaming.
Tao Boli and Liu Ji also fell into deep thought, thinking about how the two died.
Tao Boli seemed to think of something, looked at Lin Hua and asked, "Mr. Lin, have you found out the cause of their death?" ”
Lin Hua shook his head helplessly, and said with a little self-reproach: "We also have a doctor here, but we haven't found out the specific cause of death after checking it several times, so we can only speculate that it was drowning." Their death brought a dark cloud to the quiet and peaceful Peach Blossom Garden, which everyone privately believed was the punishment of the Peach Blossom Garden. ”
"Peach Blossom Spring's punishment? What does that mean? Liu Ji, who was thinking, stood up in shock by these words.
Tao Boli and Lin Ying were also full of fear in their hearts, waiting for Lin Hua's explanation.
"Rumors about the 'punishment of the Peach Blossom Spring' have always existed, but everyone didn't believe it when they first came in, thinking it was all rumors, and it wasn't until they experienced these things that they realized that the punishment of the Peach Blossom Land had always existed. The three of you have pricked up your ears for me, the following are blood-stained facts that have been recorded for decades, you must not try to challenge them, the following are both facts and rules that you need to follow in the future, remember! Lin Hua said with a very serious expression, almost roaring.
"Rule 1: Don't try to leave here, Peach Blossom Garden has been watching you, but once you come in, you can't leave. That couple is a lesson for you. ”
"Rule 2: Don't try to hurt anyone, and live in harmony with the people here. Someone once tried to kill a neighbor who was arguing with him, but instead of trying to do so, he suddenly lost an arm. ”
"Article 3: Do not take the fruits of other people's labor, only by giving labor can you have the right to enjoy your own life. When you first come in, you can choose a house to live in, these houses are built by the people who live here, and it does not mean that you can enjoy them for free, and I will explain it to you later. There was once someone who was lazy and lazy, but within a month, his face was covered with strange sores that made him worse than dead, and when he began to work, the sores gradually disappeared. ”
"Article 4: Don't be suspicious of desecrating the Peach Blossom Spring, the Peach Blossom Garden is not only a place for you to live leisurely, but also a kind of faith. After ten years in the Peach Blossom Garden, some people got tired of the life here, and began to curse the Peach Blossom Garden and destroy the Peach Blossom Garden, and died violently that night. ”
Article 5: ......
Article 6: ......
Rules kept coming out of Lin Hua's mouth, just like scoops of ice water were constantly poured on the three of Tao Boli, and the three of them were trembling and sweating like falling into an ice cave.
"Uh, Mr. Lin, are you done?" Tao Boli came back to his senses first and interrupted Lin Hua, as a staunch materialist, Tao Boli did not believe in ghosts and gods, so after listening to it, he felt that it was a little too frightening.
"Well, it's almost, just remember the first few rules, I don't want to scare you, I just want you to live in peace here." Lin Hua seemed tired and stopped to take a sip of tea.
Tao Boli looked at Lin Hua, who looked a little tired, and said slowly: "Mr. Lin, forgive me for being stupid, I have summarized the rules you said, and the general consciousness should be neither to violate the provisions of external laws nor to violate the rules of morality, and in addition, don't think about leaving the Peach Blossom Spring, is that what it means?" ”
Lin Hua was stunned for a moment, and then returned: "You summed it up well, that's what it means." Hey, if only you could understand my bitter feelings. ”
Liu Ji also came back to his senses, raised his hand and said: "Mr. Lin, I want to ask you, what you said 'only by paying labor can we have the right to enjoy our own life', my understanding is that we have to work here, right?" But what can we do? ”
Lin Hua replied with a smile: "This is actually not difficult, choose what you are good at, new houses are constantly being built here, you can choose to design houses or cut wood." In addition, there are many other jobs here, such as brewing, weaving, etc., as long as it can provide convenience for the people here, it will be counted as your contribution, so as long as you are willing to work, there are many things waiting for you to do here. ”
After listening to Lin Hua's answer, Lin Ying suddenly clapped her hands with a smile and said, "Haha, I studied architectural design, it seems that I can give full play to my expertise here, I don't have to worry." ”
Liu Ji and Tao Boli looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly, a salesperson and a programmer don't seem to have a particularly suitable position here.
"I've talked enough today, go back and digest it, I hope you can find your own place here, and you can also find the life you dream of, I wish you good luck." Lin Hua stood up and prepared to send the three of them away.
The three of them stood up and bowed to Lin Hua gratefully, after all, Lin Hua revealed a lot of taboos and rules here, which brought them a lot of help on the road behind.
"Is it true that the so-called small temple on the mountain in Xiaoling's mouth can't go?" Tao Boli, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered the small temple and hurriedly asked Lin Hua.
"It's not really there, I've been there and it's still fine." Lin Hua looked at the eager expressions of the three of them and hurriedly added: "But if you want to go, ask yourself first, if your will is strong enough, you can go, otherwise don't go." Go back and rest, you're tired too. ”
Lin Hua turned around and walked back to the hut when he said this, and sang a few familiar lyrics from the three of them, "I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is tonight, I want to go back by the wind, and I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the height is too cold..."
