Chapter 647: Leaving Home
I chatted with Xue Qian for a while. All kinds of doubts are listed together, but I can't find a clue, and it's all speculation. I can't help but feel a headache.
Eventually, neither of us spoke. Lie down in bed and fall asleep.
After all, we had been busy all night, and we were so sleepy. After the excitement of the rest of the catastrophe passed, tiredness immediately took over the brain.
I lay in bed and had a dream. I dreamed that everyone here was carrying a burden and acting like they were going to leave their homes. One by one, they walked past us, each with a look of resentment on their faces.
I saw a little baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes by its mother. He couldn't even speak, but his clear eyes were full of hatred. This gaze was like a poisoned arrow, constantly shooting at me.
I hastily explained: "It's none of my business, you have left your homeland." It was killed by Ma Daoshi and his group, and it's none of my business. ”
But where did the villagers listen? Still looking at us with grief and indignation. My heart was beating faster and faster, and finally I was broken by their eyes, and I shouted at them, "Don't look at me, it's none of my business." ”
When I said this, the villagers were all angry, and they stretched out their hands to pull my hair and pull my clothes. I screamed and tried to throw them over, but I was up for nothing.
I opened my eyes and found myself lying inside the room. There was an oil lamp lit on the table.
I got up from the bed and looked around, and I found Xue Qian standing in front of the window, looking at the back of her hand with a gloomy face, there were several bloody cuts on it, obviously scratched by her fingernails.
Mr. Lu looked at me with a smile and said, "Zhao Mang, you haven't learned anything else from me. The ability to scratch people is becoming more and more fascinating. However, this seems to be a woman's ability. ”
I sat up and asked Xue Qian, "What's the matter?" ”
Xue Qian sighed. said: "You yelled just now. almost scared Mr. Lu out of his mind. I kindly woke you up, but you scratched you twice. ”
I half-jokingly smiled at him, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Xue Qian examined the wound under the oil lamp again, and muttered inside, "This little injury is nothing. What if you have rabies, though? Did you say I should get a vaccine or something tomorrow? ”
I knew that Xue Qian deliberately said it as a joke, so I didn't care. I said to the two of them, "I dreamed of those villagers, and they hated us very much. Even a baby who can't speak wants to kill me. ”
Xue Qian said: "Why do they hate us? Do they hate us? ”
Mr. Lu said lightly: "Some villagers don't know about these things. It is possible to think that the calamity was brought by us, so it is possible to hate us. As long as we are worthy of our hearts, they can think whatever they like. ”
The three of us sat in the room for a while, and the sky outside gradually grew brighter. I know that this night, the ghosts of the third grandmother village are definitely not idle, and they are probably dreaming from house to house. And the living will definitely go around to discuss it after they have finished dreaming.
It was bright outside, but I suddenly didn't have the courage to open the door. I couldn't bear to see the villagers lose their souls.
Mr. Lu sighed and said, "Zhao Mang, let's go out." You can't stay in this room all the time, can you? As if he knew what I was thinking, he said, "The villagers are not as fragile as you think." As long as you survive, you can bear a lot of things. In times of famine, you can eat bark and grass roots, and when foreign invasions you can bow down. Everyone is very resilient, and now they are just leaving their homeland, what are you afraid of? ”
Then he opened the door.
I looked outside and was stunned, and I saw that the courtyard was full of villagers. There are also large numbers of villagers stretching from the courtyard to the street. It seems that all the people in the village of the third grandmother are here.
The strange thing is that so many people gathered together without making the slightest sound. I looked into their eyes, and there was no resentment in them, but gratitude.
The village chief stood at the front of the crowd, and he smiled at us, and for some reason, I always felt that his smile was a little bitter.
I opened my mouth to ask them if they had dreamed anything last night, but I felt like it was nonsense. Since they have gathered here, they must have known the news that they were going to migrate.
The village chief looked at the three of us, coughed lightly, and said, "Today is the day to shape the golden body of the third grandmother, do you want to come and see?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”
The villagers got out of the way. We followed the village chief until we reached the Three Grandmothers Temple.
None of these villagers mentioned anything about the migration, but they looked at me and told me that they already knew.
Inside the Three Grandmothers Temple, the two elderly women were ready. The two of them looked at us with a flat face, and there was nothing unusual in their eyes. I wondered, "Isn't there anyone to give them dreams?" Why can't they see that sadness in their eyes? ”
Soon, the ceremony of shaping the golden body began. The villagers all knelt down in front of the body of the third grandmother. The three of us stood on the sidelines. The two women first wrapped a layer of gauze around the third grandmother, and then wrapped it in linen. Subsequently, a layer of lacquer was applied to the outside of the burlap. At this time, the body of the third grandmother is somewhat similar to the clay fetal statue in the temple.
After a while, the two women took out the gold leaf, little by little, and carefully pasted it on the third grandmother's body. By noon, the golden statue of the third grandmother had been made.
The villagers all twisted incense in their hands, lined up, and respectfully put on the incense. Wait for a qiē to finish. Everyone stood quietly in front of the temple.
The village chief walked to the top of the steps, he looked at the villagers, and said slowly, "Everyone has dreamed of it, right?" ”
The villagers all nodded. The village chief sighed and said, "The three Taoist chiefs helped us rescue our dead relatives. We are very grateful in our hearts. Now those demons want to kill us, and it is the Taoist who has come up with this method to let us avoid trouble. We have to thank them. ”
Then the villagers will kneel down before us. The three of us were startled, and hurriedly helped them, thinking in our hearts: "It seems that when the little ghost dreamed, he explained the cause and effect clearly." The villagers didn't misunderstand us. ”
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Let's go." Let's go, everybody. From now on, never come back. One family, one direction, no one should be with anyone. ”
The two elderly women suddenly said: "The two of us will not leave, we are not afraid of death, we will stay here to guard the body of the third grandmother." ”
The villagers said, "We don't want to leave either." ”
The village chief hurriedly said, "How did you get your life?" It was guarded by the third grandmother for thousands of years. It is the three Taoist masters, born and died, who earned it back for you. And so you died. Who is it worthy of? Don't you want to leave a legacy for your ancestors? Let's all go, and no one will say anything about staying. "-#~Wonderful Pen Pavilion?++
At this time, the two elderly women also said, "Go away." When you think of the third grandmother, you will kowtow to the third grandmother, she is an old man, and she has been watching us in the fairy world. Although we folks are scattered in the world, no matter how many generations have passed, we are relatives to each other. ”
The villagers asked, "Will we never be able to come back in this life?" Can't you look at the third grandmother anymore? ”
The two elderly women suddenly looked at Mr. Lu and said, "Can they come back?" ”
Mr. Lu said, "As long as Daoist Ma and his group give up looking for the divine water, you can come back." But I don't know how many years have passed, but maybe your descendants have adapted to life outside and don't want to go back to this village. ”
The villagers said, "This is our roots." No matter how many years we have, we want to bring the body back and bury it in the ancestral grave. ”
Mr. Lu thought for a while, and then said: "The three of us have a big grudge with Daoist Ma, and we will definitely meet again in the future, if we are lucky enough to be able to eradicate them." I will inform you and let you come back. ”
