Shui Rong continued to talk about Zheng Bai's past-

At that time, Zheng Bai was wrong for a while, killed the female owner of Longbao Village, dozens of people surrounded him, to take his life, five strong men first lifted the stick and rushed up to fight with Zheng Bai, only a short time, everyone did not understand, five people have died under Zheng Bai's sword, the others looked at each other, did not dare to approach, Zheng Bai was weak, and did not dare to attack easily.

There was only one person, standing on the side, not persuading, not persuading, not persuading, so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

They were holding each other, only to hear a woman shouting, "Slow down!"

Everyone followed the sound to see that it was none other than the only daughter of the female owner of the village who had just disappeared, sixteen years old, extremely beautiful, Longbaokeng people regarded it as a fairy, she heard the news that her mother was killed by Zheng Bai before, and she took advantage of the unpreparedness to run for her life.

Not far from escaping, she felt a pain in her heart, and suddenly thought that the people of Longbaozhai would definitely find Zheng Bai desperately, and hurriedly endured the pain and came back, there were already five people lying in a pool of blood, if it didn't end in time, I don't know how many people would die, and immediately called "and slow down!"

The people of Longbaokeng, who were about to compete with Zheng Bai for life and death, saw that the only candidate for the new village owner was back, and their fighting spirit suddenly doubled, and they shouted loudly!

An even more brutal massacre is on the horizon.

The dramatic plot appeared, the daughter of the female owner of the village passed between the two, walked straight to Zheng Bai, prostrate on the ground, and said: "You are the owner of the village, and the slave is willing to be your wife!"

At this time, someone cried, and everyone knelt in front of Zheng Bai and recognized him as the owner of the village.

After Zheng Bai became the head of the village, he listened to the words of the son and implemented the husband and wife system, of course, not necessarily monogamy, especially himself, and also taught martial arts, and let the son teach simple etiquette.

Zheng Bai was born as a military general, very domineering, changed a lot of rules, and did not allow people to say the local dialect in the Longbao Pit again, and must speak the words of the White Tiger Clan, otherwise, severe punishment caused many years later, the local dialect in the Longbao Pit almost disappeared.

A few years later, Zheng Bai's wife died. It wasn't until after her death that people learned from Zheng Bai that she was a stone girl, who had never been to menstruation, and was born with a distressing disease, knowing that she could not live long, and she might not be able to have children. So far, on her sacrifice day, Longbaokeng will hold a grand commemorative event, calling her "Water Girl".

Although Zheng Bai and Shi Nu are not husband and wife, they like her beauty and kindness very much, and they are called husband and wife, and they are really father and daughter. The death of the stone girl made Zheng Bai extremely sad. In less than two years, Zheng Bai also died of illness, because he had no children and no daughters under his knees, and the position of the owner of the village was passed on to a well-behaved and most trusted descendant, which was the ancestor of Shui Rong, because there was no surname in that later life, so he took the water that is everywhere here as his surname, which is the origin of Shui Rong's surname.

———— Shuirong said this, Wu Zhen said: "Coincidentally, many surnames refer to water as the surname, the Ba surname of the Ba country lord comes from the surname Feng, and it is also based on the surname of water, but the ancestors of the owner of the village directly took the water character as the surname, which is simpler." Or ask the owner of the village to continue. ”

Shui Rong said: "Since then, Longbao Village has had a male owner. But there is no such thing as male superiority and inferiority of women, such as the moon sacrifice, and it is the woman who presides over the sacrifice. A few years later, Yuzi also passed away, and people made statues of the two gods in the cave in the center of the earth, and sacrificed the same as the goddess of the center of the earth and the god of the eagle. ”

Seeing that the dinner was about to end, Wu Zhen said: "After today, the three of us will also follow the local customs and choose a place to live." ”

Shui Rong said: "We have discussed it, please let the three of you live in the village." All the elders in Longbaokeng who are over seventy years old have come to Longbao Village to enjoy their old age, just to talk to the people. ”

Wu Zhen said: "Life is rare for seventy years, seventy years old, and it is rare to see it outside. ”

Shui Rong said: "It should be so." Only Brother Shuimin, this year is almost seventy, I asked him not to take care of things, but he said that he didn't care about things, his waist hurt, his legs and feet also hurt, he took care of things, his whole body was relaxed, he was born to do things, and he was born to do things, and if he didn't do things, he would die. Therefore, among the older people, he is the only one who still runs up and down, and sure enough, after a few years, his body is still harder than ours, and he does not like to drink, and is willing to wait on the side. Yesterday, it was he who went to collect medicine, and found that there were really guests coming, so he sent a letter back with a bamboo bird, and the family prepared wine and meat in advance, otherwise, how could you arrive, and your feet are still hot, so please come to the table. ”

Brother Song said with a smile: "On weekdays, it is not a festival, or there is a birthday or a sacrifice day, and everywhere is full of wine and meat." ”

Only then did the three Wu family understand the reason why yesterday's reception banquet came abruptly.

Wu Zhen said: "Thanks to being taken in, I am very grateful, as the saying goes: It is easy to see each other, but it is difficult to live for a long time, and the three of us are not in Baozhai for a long time." ”

Lady Wu also said: "I won't be a guest for three days after entering the door, and the three of us still go to build a kennel nearby, and often come to visit." ”

Shui Rong said with a smile: "What Madame said, or the folk customs outside, we don't exist here." ”

Several old men were retained, and Wu Zhen got up and saluted: "It's better to be respectful than to obey." ”

After a while, Wu Zhen asked again: "All the way down, I saw some handwriting, who carved it?"

Shui Rong said: "Written by Yuzi." After arriving at Longbaokeng, he has healed many people and saved many lives, and he is deeply respected, he is a god descending to earth. When he got to the pit, he often wandered around to explore the big pit, and maybe he was also trying to figure out a way to find a way to the pit. I heard that Yuzi said: There is a difference between yin and yang everywhere, and this sinkhole is a big gossip terrain. He left his handwriting in many places, and the locals carved it out for him, and built some paths, which are still repaired to this day as a kind of memorial to him. ”

Wu Zhen sighed: "It's really a big gossip terrain!"

The three Wu clans have now fully understood that the so-called largest dangerous sinkhole in Hu'an Mountain is actually a pure land, and people outside are superstitious because of legends, superstitious and misunderstood, and misunderstood and fearful.

After eating and drinking, Shui Rong said: "Everyone, please go and drink some tea." ”

Everyone got up, leaving the cups and plates in a mess, and someone came to clean them up.

Go out and move to another room that is similarly poorly furnished.

As soon as Wucheng entered, he saw that the girl who had served the water before and another girl, both of whom were beautiful, had been waiting inside, and everyone sat down and drank tea.

The tea they drink is two different kinds of tea from Baima Mountain Tianqi tea, called Eagle Tea, also known as Laoyin Tea, and the way to drink tea is simpler. Legend has it that eagles are particularly fond of nesting on cliffs with eagle tea trees, because the strong smell of aromatic oil of the Lauraceae plant is a smell that snakes, rats and other animals that steal young eagles are afraid of, and with it, the mother eagle can safely leave her baby eagle at home and go out alone to forage for food.

This kind of tea, collected by Longbaokeng people on the natural wall cliff of Tiankeng, has a variety of effects such as quenching thirst and heatstroke, eliminating food and swelling, detoxifying and reducing swelling, refreshing and intellectual, brightening the eyes and strengthening the stomach, dispersing stasis and relieving pain, stopping diarrhea, stopping hiccups, etc.

Drinking this tea is similar to drinking water, there is not much attention, Wucheng feels that this tea is better than drinking in Tushi, there is no bitter shade taste.

Needless to say, the three Wu clans asked this and that, wanting to understand what kind of place the sinkhole was as soon as possible.

Wucheng drank too much, this is the basic rule, at this time a little tired, tilted his head to listen to them.

The girl who came to add water to the first day that the Wu people saw first glanced at Wu Cheng and felt that this person was really too tall, so he looked at it twice, but saw him tilting his neck to look at himself, as if he was thoughtful, the girl was embarrassed.

Lady Wu said, "Is there salt in this pit?"

Shui Rong said: "The dish is light, isn't it to taste?"

"No, no, it is often said that food has a thousand flavors, salt is the first, I am afraid of the lack of salt in the pit, it is very expensive, so I asked. ”

Brother Bai said: "You can't live without salt, of course there is salt." There is a small salt spring not far away. The salt spring does not always have salt water, only at the beginning of each month and in the middle of the month, there is salt water, which is the largest in the middle of autumn every year, therefore, the pit should worship the moon god and the salt god in the middle of autumn every year. ”

Lady Wu said, "Why is it only for two days, is the salt enough?"

Shui Rong said: "Enough." On these two days of the month, salt water is taken intensively. I heard that the ancestor of Xinglongying Bay was to Longbaokeng, and he went to observe many times, he said that Longbaokeng is very low, this salt spring is either connected with a dark river under the ground, or a dark lake, and the dark lake is connected with the sea outside, so only when the sea tide rises, there is salt water gushing out. ”

The lady said, "Is there enough food in the pit?"

Shui Rong said: "In this pit, a fire can burn out fertile plots, people are diligent, there are many fruits and delicacies in the mountains, there are many fish in the water, and food is abundant." If someone is affected, someone will send them to help. ”

Wu Cheng was not interested in these firewood, rice, oil and salt, and then said: "Is there a samurai in the pit?

Shui Rong said: "No, there is no war in the pit, and there are no thieves, so there is no need." ”

"Then just now the owner of the village said that Zheng Bai taught martial arts?" thought to Lady Wu, I didn't pay attention to this sentence, but he really heard it.

Shui Rong said: "In the past, when Zheng Bai was in the past, he taught martial arts, but later generations felt that it was useless, and slowly few people learned it, and only a few hobbies were passed down." They practice martial arts only for hunting and strengthening their bodies. In addition to natural disasters, there is no harm here, except for the incident of Zheng Bai killing the female owner of the village, there was an earlier incident, and there has never been a gratuitous murder. Of course, there are people who are bitten and killed by wild animals. ”

When Wucheng heard that there were no samurai, and that his only strength could not be shown, he was disappointed, and drank the water in the teacup in one gulp, and the girl who came to see him saw that he was drinking fast, and came to fill it for him.

Wu Zhen said: "The owner of the village said that there was another unprovoked murder, what happened?"

"That incident is earlier than Zheng Bai to capture the Dragon Treasure Village, the legend is that one day out of nowhere came five or six warriors, seeing that the weapons in the Dragon Treasure Pit are backward, and the martial arts are also poor, they are going to rob the Dragon Treasure Village, the two sides fought a battle, and several people died in the village. The female owner of the village saw that although he was small, he was strong in martial arts, and he didn't want to shed blood in vain, so he retreated into the village and held on. A stranger who had entered the pit out of nowhere offered advice: "He is going to make peace." After he left the village, he told the warriors about the Longbao pit, and said: "With a few of you, no matter how high your martial arts are, it is impossible to withstand the hundreds of people in the pit, and after all, you will inevitably die, and the result will be a defeat for both sides. Those samurai thought about it, so they surrendered to the female village master, and later saw that the pit was a fairyland on earth, so they were willing to stay and became a person in the pit. I heard that this group of people was under the order of some kind of Wuzi, it is estimated that it was an order of some king to explore the way, there were originally more than 20 people, and they were separated on the way. ”

Wu Zhen said: "It is estimated that it is Hu Amber." ”

Old Man Song said: "It seems that later, a few more warriors found Longbaozhai and also stayed." ”

Wu Zhen sighed: "It's really unpredictable! The sinkhole, which was regarded as a flood beast and a terrifying and terrifying sinkhole by the people of the Gu clan, turned out to be a Datong world, which was the era of Yao Shun. ”

Hearing the Su family, Mrs. Wu shed tears, Shui Rong hurriedly asked why, Mrs. Wu collected her tears, and sighed: "My wife also has a daughter, who is enslaved in Hu'an Palace at this time, but the three of us are enjoying happiness here, and I can't help crying when I think of it for a while." Wu Zhen urgently advised.

Wucheng has been thinking about what Shui Rong said before, "If you want to get out of the sinkhole, there is only one way to return to the female owner of the village", secretly rejoicing, it turned out that there was a way out, and then said: "The owner of the village, you said that there is a way out of the Longbao pit?"

Shui Rong shook his head and said, "No one knows." ”

All of a sudden, Wucheng was like a leaking pig urine bag.

On the third day, the three Wu people left the bed, ate morning food, and went around the village to check. Although it is said that this is a fairyland on earth, in the end, it is a foreign country, a prison cage for prisoners, and it is inevitable to sigh while watching.

I was observing in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and someone came to invite me to the banquet. The three of them felt that the people here were really welcoming, and of course they understood hospitality, but it was only three days.

The three of them entered the room of the first two banquets, but they saw that the pomp was greater than the previous two nights, and the hall was divided into two scenes. Wine and delicacies are on offer.

Shui Rong invited Wu Zhen and his son to a table at the top, and Mrs. Wu to a table at the bottom, of course, there were still a few low tables, surrounded by bamboo mats. Then invite a few old people to take a seat, and a few people you don't know.

Before taking a seat, Shui Rong spoke first: "Today is the soul feast. I heard that there are rare guests in a few nearby bays, and they also came, Zuilong Bay is too far, and Jielong Bay is even farther, and it has not yet arrived, and two elders came today. Knowing that there are distinguished guests, the two bays will send good dishes. In Longbaokeng, plus this village, there are five villages, called four bays and one village, dozens of miles away, it is not clear. ”

Shui Rong first introduced people who had never met each other and knew each other, two newcomers, one was Elder Yu from Xinglong Bay, and the other was Elder Song from Wanglong Bay.

Greet each other with courtesy. Seated.

Shui Rong said: "There is still my family today." A young man, two middle-aged women, and two young girls came in through the side door, and they saw several of them dressed in new linen clothes.

The three Wu clans saw that the two girls were the women who served the tea two days ago, and the young man was the kid who opened the gate of the village three days ago, and they were shocked.

The two women that Madame Wu saw came in were neither tall nor short, slightly fat, well-looking, healthy, and should be beautiful when she was young.

The first thing Wu Cheng looked at was the two girls, both of whom were as beautiful as flowers, looked a little similar, were about the same age, almost dressed and about the same size.

Especially on the first day to serve the woman who poured water, it seems that she is a little taller, and her beauty is better, today she has a little grooming, more than a beautiful face, dressed in green juice soaked in fine linen, well-proportioned, willow waist, hips and beautiful legs, straight back and round chest, red lips and bright teeth, bright eyes and good eyes, skin is as tender as jade, there is no enchanting air but can not hide its beauty, there is no rich and vulgar state but can not hide its precious, at first sight forget the customs of the world, goodbye forget where you are. Precisely:

The moth eyebrows are lightly swept at the beginning, the clouds are out of the Dragon Palace, the waist is thin and has a more attitude, the face turns amorous because of the redness, the ice muscles are natural, and they are fairy bones, and He Lao washes his makeup.

Wu Cheng was secretly surprised, glad that he had not been drunk and rude before.

Wucheng has never been too attentive to women, and then he found out that the woman who came to serve on the first day was actually a stunning person, and it was inevitable that he would not be moved.

Wu Cheng couldn't help but peek, and thought to himself: "In the past two or three days, I have seen many women here, although not all of them are stunning, none of them are very bad. Unexpectedly, this sinkhole is still a nest of beauties. There is no samurai to try the sword, and there are beauties who can also relieve loneliness a little. Fortunately, others didn't know that this kid still had a bad stomach in his heart.

Wu Cheng was thinking nonsense, and when he heard Shui Rong introduce the people who came in, he realized that there were two women, one was a woman of Shui Rong, and the other was a woman of his brother Shui He (a man who was about forty years old when they met at the door on the first day), the boy was named Shui Hua, who was the son of Shui He, and two daughters, one was named Shui Xian, who was Shui Rong's daughter, and the other was Shui Xiang, who was Shui He's daughter.

It was only at this time that they knew that it was Shui Rong's family who had come to serve tea and water two days ago, and Wu Zhen and the three of them were surprised.

After seeing each other, the mother and daughter of the narcissus came over and sat opposite the witch lady, the lady of the water melt was in the middle, and the water and the woman, the narcissus, and the water incense sat down one after another.

Only then did Lady Wu realize that their place was specially arranged for female dependents.

Everyone sat down, and the old man shouted to open the table, toast and return the wine, and they were very happy and did not go into details.

After a few rounds of drinking, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Liangshui ordered the year, Mrs. Wu was five years older than Shui and the woman, and it happened that she was the same year as the woman who melted with Shui, and Mrs. Wu was more than three months younger, and they said hello to each other.

Lady Wu said, "Why haven't you seen the two ladies in the past two days?"

The woman said with a smile: "How dare we call ourselves Mrs. The two of us who make vegetables and water! ”

Lady Wu exclaimed: "Unexpectedly, the two ladies cook by themselves, we are too careless." ”

The water melt woman smiled: "I'm used to doing it usually." ”

The witch lady was even more shocked: "Isn't there a slave?"

The water melt woman smiled: "There is no distinction between master and servant in the Longbao pit, they all work together and eat together. Don't look at them at this time, they're busy here, they're even crazier than us. ”

Lady Wu said: "I see, no wonder I saw your daughter come to serve tea two nights ago." He said to the two girls, "You see me clumsy and think I am a slave girl." Are you called narcissus and water incense?"

"My name is Narcissus, and my sister's name is Shui Xiang. The woman next to the melt woman replied.

Lady Wu smiled, "How old are you this year?"

It was still Narcissus who spoke: "It's fifteen, sister Xiaoyue." ”

Lady Wu said, "Almost a year younger than my daughter. ”

Narcissus said, "Why haven't you seen that sister?"

Mrs. Shui Rong stopped: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”

At the banquet, the three older women hit it off at first sight, especially the Shui Rong Woman and the Witch Lady, and began to talk about the shortcomings of the family.

Lady Wu said, "Sister, are you just this one daughter?"

"There is also an eldest daughter, named Shui Jing, who married to Jielong Bay a few years ago, and her husband's family is a relative of my mother's uncle's family. I also have a son, named Shui Tang, who is named in honor of Shui Zi, and he is eighteen this year. ”

"Which one is this?" asked the witch lady.

"A few years ago, he went hunting in the mountains with a few boys and disappeared. ”

Thinking that she had misheard, Lady Wu asked, "Sister, what did you say?"
