Chapter 314: Water is not the old thing

Wang Mu saw the news of the earth spirit again spread all over Tanglin Town overnight, and almost all the villagers were stunned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Wang Mu is the spirit of the earth that he sees in broad daylight, just on the mountain road. The earth spirit had three heads and six arms, leopard eyes, and a bloody mouth, glaring at Wang Mu fiercely. Wang Mu was stunned for a moment, and ran away in fright. I kept running back to the village, and my face was still pale. Earth spirits are an ancient local legend, and it is said that they are invincible creatures that drill underground. If he offends the earth spirit, he will find one substitute after another to take revenge. People revere mountains, water, and trees, for fear of offending the spirits of the earth who live through them.

Of course, this is the legend of Tanglin Town, in fact, the earth spirit is the earth messenger, in order to ensure that one party can be safe, so it was deified by humans, and the earth spirit punishes the bad guys, so it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In Tanglin Town, everyone can not believe it, but they can't doubt Wang Mu. He is an honest man, he has never told a lie since he was a child, he saw the earth spirit, then the earth spirit really appeared. This caused a great panic throughout the town. Because, before Wang Mu, there were already four people who saw the spirit of the earth, and they were all dead. The first threw himself into the river, the second jumped off a cliff, the third swallowed poison, and the fourth was locked up in the house by his family, but he still hung on the roof in the dead of night.

Wang Mu was terrified. He didn't want to die, he was only in his thirties, he had a wife and children, how could he die? He felt like he was going to die, and he was going to die at any moment.

At night, his wife Xiulan persuaded him to eat a few bites of rice with tears in her eyes, but Wang Mu shook his head and said that he couldn't eat it. Xiulan asked him if he was daydreaming? Maybe he was tired from going up the mountain for several days in a row, so he saw the "earth spirit"?

"I'm not the only one who sees the spirits. Could it be that someone has done something bad and offended the mountain god? Will the earth spirit retribution come upon me?" Wang Mu muttered. To be honest, now when he thinks of the appearance of the earth spirit, Wang Mu can't help but tremble all over, this is simply terrifying.

Shirley sighed. The days in the mountains are getting more and more difficult, the weather is dry and rainy, and the crops jump out of half a man's height and die of thirst. If the mayor hadn't found cheap things from outside, they would have had to survive the famine.

"It must be that the cattle and sheep that sacrificed to the mountain god have lost some weight in the past two years, so they angered the gods. Xiulan said suddenly.

Wang Mu didn't speak, his mind turned, and he felt that Xiulan's words made sense. Every year it is a sacrifice of fat sheep and fat oxen, but the sheep sacrificed last year are as skinny as wood. Because of the drought, even the grass on the mountains is bald. Xiulan got up and said they had to figure out a way.

The couple sat across from each other, looking at each other. At this time, there was a "humming" sound in the courtyard. It was a fat pig that Xiulan had raised for almost a year. She looked at Wang Mu, Wang Mu looked at her, and the two of them thought of the pig's head sacrifice at the same time. Legend has it that if you offend the spirit of the earth, you should pay tribute with the most sincere heart, and you may avoid the disaster. If she can save her husband's life, let alone a pig, she will be willing to give up all her belongings.

The couple made up their minds and immediately got up. Wang Mu sharpened his knife, Xiulan found a rope to tie the pig, and the two killed the fat pig overnight. Cut off the pig's head, Wang Mu carried it up the mountain.

It's early in the morning. Walking on the mountain road, Wang Mu hugged the pig's head in his arms and was apprehensive. If he encounters the earth spirit again, will he send the pig's head forward? Or will he throw it away and run?

Walk to the entrance of the village, and then bypass a small road to Daqingshan. Wang Mu walked faster and faster, and this pig's head had to be put on the top of Daqing Mountain before dawn. However, just as he was about to turn the corner, he suddenly saw the lights on in front of Zhang Erjia. Zhang Er has been running outside all year round, and in the middle of the night, what is he doing with the lights on? Could it be that there is something wrong Wang Mu stopped and faintly heard a faint cry of a baby. It was from Zhang Er's family. These two are almost fifty years old, so they won't have another doll, right? Wang Mu was curious.

Because he had never been accustomed to seeing Zhang Er's bullish appearance in the village, Wang Mu couldn't help but quietly walked over.

Most of the people in the mountains use fences to enclose the hospital, and Wang Mu gently pushed open the fence gate and walked to the front of the house. The door of the house was hidden, and Zhang Er and a strange man could be seen talking from the crack in the door. Zhang Er's wife is holding a month-old baby and is feeding her with a bottle. Wang Mu was taken aback, whose child is this? He stood for a moment, and when he heard the child's "wow", Wang Mu shuddered, and then looked, Zhang Er took out a tightly wrapped child from another room and handed it to his wife.

Wang Mu's heart rose to his throat. In less than a quarter of an hour, he saw at least four babies appear in Zhang Er's family. His hands clenched tighter and tighter, and he understood everything in his heart. Zhang Er turned out to be stealing someone else's baby for money. He actually did this kind of thing that hurt the heavens and harmed the pigs and dogs! The anger almost made Wang Mu tremble. It must have been him who angered the earth spirits, so he killed several people, so that he bumped into the earth spirits in broad daylight!

In order not to startle the snake, Wang Mu returned home with the pig's head. Afraid that Xiulan would be worried, he covered the pig's head with a straw basket and only said that he had sacrificed to the sky. Then he went out and went straight to the official mansion outside the mountain.

At dawn, Wang Mu finally came to the front of the official mansion. An hour later, those officers and soldiers reluctantly followed Wang Mu towards Daqingshan.

Because of the surprise, the government cracked a big case of stealing babies for money. Zhang Er is the principal offender, and there are several other accomplices.

Wang Mu returned home and slept with his head covered. He was so happy that he would never see the Earth Spirit again. It's time for the anger of the earth spirit to subside, right?Xiulan saw the pig's head in the grass basket and questioned Wang Mu. Wang Mu said in a daze that he had obviously sacrificed to the heavens, but who knew that it had run back again? It can be seen that the earth spirit has spared him.

Xiulan was overjoyed, stewed a pig's head for Wang Mu, and cooked pork. Wang Mu, who usually eats four steamed buns per meal, didn't look at the steamed buns this time, shook off his cheeks and chewed the fatty meat, and ate to his heart's content.

Two or three days passed, and Wang Mu did not commit suicide like others. The people in the town wondered, but Wang Mu felt proud. It's just that he didn't be complacent for two days, and disaster came. Zhang Er's family is a big family, he was arrested, maybe he will be sentenced to death, Zhang Er's wife went crazy. She is a well-known in the village, and she heard out of nowhere that she was the official of Wang Mubao, so she led more than a dozen people to rush into Wang Mu's house.

Three dilapidated rooms, almost with the lid lifted. Fortunately, Wang Mu was not at home while chopping firewood on the mountain, otherwise he would have been caught and beaten half to death. The village was boiling, but no one dared to stand up for Wang Mu. The tradition here has always been like this, the ugliness of the family is not publicized, and whoever goes out will be spurned.

Xiulan cried and stopped Wang Mu halfway, stuffed him with a bag of food, and told him to find a place to hide. Wang Mu was angry and said to report to the official. Xiulan shook her head and said What can you do if the government comes? Can you arrest all the Zhang family? If you miss one, you will be with Wang Mu. In the village, Wang Mu has a single family, and no one can help him.

Hearing that his wife was reasonable, Wang Mu sighed and asked Xiulan to take good care of her daughter. He first hid in the cave, and tomorrow morning he went to find a place outside the mountain. When he is on his feet, he will take his wife and daughter out. Xiulan nodded repeatedly.

Wang Mu plunged into the cave, feeling tired and sleepy. In a daze, he actually fell asleep. After sleeping for a long time, he suddenly saw a tall figure appear in front of him, looking faintly like an earth spirit. Wang Mu was excited and woke up. Sitting up, it was pitch black in the mountain stream, and there was nothing.

In the distance, there seemed to be bursts of talking. Wang Mu came out of the cave and saw that the group was looking for something on the mountain, and everyone was holding torches in their hands. He saw at a glance that the one walking in front was Zhang Er's wife. Wang Mu shivered, it seemed that they knew that he was going to escape, so they came to block him overnight.

Mountain people, familiar with every cave on the mountain. Wang Mu knew that if he hid any longer, he would only be caught in the urn. Tightening his clothes, Wang Mu bent down and walked towards a path. Daqingshan is almost already a bald mountain. Under the big moon, Wang Mu was discovered as soon as he appeared.

"Then, this Wang Mu won't be killed by those people!" asked Xuan Chao.

"Of course not, at this time, the earth spirit came out, that is, the earth messenger not only let those people get the punishment they deserved, but also kept Wang Mu by his side and continued to guard the people on that side......"

This time the metatarsal super and others suddenly realized.

At this time, it was already late at night, but everyone was tired with the warm firelight in the story of Shui Mo. So Qianyao asked, "Shui Mo, what about you, tell us about you!"

Shui Mo raised his head, stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know what a toad wants to eat swan meat......

"I've heard of it, but that's just a story......

"That's not a story, it's true, because I'm the toad......"

A long time ago, when Tongdian Dam was still a vast ocean, a group of fairies would often come here to bathe on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they would arrive here before dawn and then transform into a flock of beautiful white swans. From sunrise to sunset, groups swim and freshen up in the lake until the sun sets and leaves the lake.

The lake is surrounded by aquatic ancestors who have been farming for generations, working and grazing their cattle around the lake, but few people know that the swans in the lake are the embodiment of fairies. It wasn't until one day, when the village cattle herder fell into the lake and was rescued, that people heard from him that it was a group of fairies.

It was many years ago on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a herdsman named Ta Yan went to the lake in the evening to look for the lost cow, suddenly he faintly heard the voice of the girl coming from the lake, at first he thought that it was the village woman there, he thought that maybe he could get a little news of the cow from them and went away, but the sound moved more and more towards the center of the lake, Ta Yan never saw a human figure, only some lovely swans rippling on the surface of the lake with golden waves.
