Chapter 127: White Village
I nodded, Chen Kui told me first, I won't talk too much, not to mention, the heirs of the national scholar were almost planted in the hands of a fox, and it is not a glorious thing to say it!
In this way, they stayed until dawn, Chen Kui and Sun Qing also woke up one after another, and after it was convenient on the spot, I shouted Zhou Wenwu up, and the four of us marched towards Baicun again against the rising sun!
It's just that along the way, Chen Kui kept looking back at me, as if he had noticed some abnormalities, he was equipped with Taoism, and it was reasonable to be able to detect a trace of last night's shock, but because it was the first acquaintance, he didn't ask directly!
And Zhou Wenwu obviously noticed Chen Kui's strangeness, directly put his shoulder on his shoulder, and got up with him, I only vaguely heard him say to Chen Kui, Hugh wants to treat me as a normal person, what is the abbot of the same vein, talent and so on, don't care if there are any strange behaviors!
I shook my head helplessly, Zhou Wenwu had his own sense of proportion in his heart, and I didn't step forward to say anything, and his ability to blow the sky and the earth can be described as a must, and in the end, Chen Kui's eyes looking at me were obviously different, only Sun Qing was speechless!
So at about seven or eight o'clock, turn the last hillside, and finally arrive at the col where Bai Village is located, the whole village is not big, only about 100 households, and the col here is rare and much smoother, although the earthen embryo houses are not neat, but there is no crowding in other mountain villages! It was breakfast time, and the village was full of fireworks, but our eyes fell on a piece of grass at the entrance of the village!
There were also fireworks, but there were open stoves, and there were no houses at the entrance to the village, but two simple tents! At this moment, a foreign woman in a black mountaineering suit is squatting next to the dry fire and busy, and a burly monk is chopping wood on the side!
It's Anna and Luhon!
"Old Chen, why is there anyone camping here!"
Zhou Wenwu and I glanced at each other and didn't speak, but Sun Qing raised questions, Chen Kui shook his head helplessly, and said: "Outsiders are not welcome in the village, but it was only under pressure from the government that I agreed to let outsiders enter the village to investigate this matter!" That's what I'm telling you about Anna and Luhon! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Anna also got up, her eyes fell on Chen Kui, and she suddenly smiled, and Chen Kui hurriedly led us to meet us!
"Hey, Lao Chen, you're back! These are the helpers you brought? Master Sun's high apprentice? ”
Lu Hong followed, his eyes fell on the three of us, but he was stunned, obviously showing a little disdain, looking at the situation should not be as good as the relationship between Chen Kui and Sun Ban, so he didn't know Zhou Wenwu and Sun Qing!
Seeing this, Chen Kui immediately smiled and said: "You barefoot monk can be regarded as a barefoot monk who has traveled most of China, how can you still have the problem of judging people by their appearance!" Don't look at their young age, each with their own unique skills! ”
"Really? Amitabha! That's offensive! Don't blame the three! ”
Although Lu Hong is middle-aged, he does not have the frame of an adult, and even if he apologizes to us, Anna also stretched out her hand to Sun Qing at this time, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Anna!" You can also call me Angelina, more... ”
Seeing this, Sun Qing was obviously stunned, and Zhou Wenwu on the side saw this, but she wanted to volunteer, she reluctantly held Anna's hand first, and as the latter's gaze swept over Zhou Wenwu and fell on me, the smile on her face suddenly froze, let go of her palm and pointed at me, and said in a daze:
"You... We seem to have seen each other!? ”
"Hey! Anna is small... Sister! Why didn't I remember this when I saw this, but I remembered when I saw this kid? ”
The word Miss is obviously not a common word for Chinese, and as soon as Zhou Wenwu opened his mouth, Chen Kui immediately asked: "How, you know?" ”
"Ahem! What's that, Lao Chen, I didn't dare to be sure at first, but now I've seen Anna Xiao... Forget it, I'll just call you Anna! After meeting Anna, I was sure that it wasn't just Anna and
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
We have also met this great monk! ”
"On the train in Beijing!"
"On the train in Beijing!"
Anna and I spoke almost at the same time, looking at each other and smiling, the reason why I remember her is still fresh, not only because of the strange things that I encountered, her foreigner identity and exquisite appearance, it is difficult to make people forget, as for him to recognize me at a glance, I also have a guess in my heart, I am afraid that it will not be related to my own luck, in Chen Kui's words, although she is a foreigner, she has a lot of research on the history of China, and the last encounter on the train, she revealed the means is even more extraordinary!
Just when I was about to have an in-depth chat with her, Zhou Wenwu's stomach screamed at this time, Anna enthusiastically served out the meal she had just cooked, and a few of us were not polite, taking advantage of the meal time, I probably asked about the situation in Baicun!
The people of Baicun call the changes that occur every ten years - the mountain god festival!
And what happened recently is the son of the old man in the village! Speaking of which, although Shi Laohan is now the head of Baicun, but it can be described as ill-fated, the last time the mountain god sacrificed, his mother-in-law was chosen by the mountain god, after going crazy, without waiting for her to die, he personally dedicated it to the mountain god! At that time, his youngest son had just turned one year old, and he had no mother before he was weaned!
I thought that this move would ensure the peace of his family in the future, but I never expected that as my youngest son grew up, he would be mentally incomplete!
It is not easy for Shi Laohan to pull his two sons to get to this day safely, but the disaster is not alone, but for more than ten years, this mountain god sacrifice once again took more than 20 lives in the village, and among them was his eldest son!
It is precisely because of the existence of the mountain god festival that this village that has been inherited for a long time has not been able to prosper!
Although he lost his relatives one after another, for an old man like Shi Laohan who had never been out of the village in his life, the taboo circulating in Baicun was regarded as a rule of heaven, and at first he led the villagers to obstruct the government's investigation, until later due to the increase in the government's efforts, which had no choice but to respond, but to this day, whether it was the police or the invited monks, there was no progress, which led to Chen Kui After they came, they didn't even let them settle in the village!
As for the details of the tragic death of Shi Laohan's eldest son, Chen Kui didn't know much, but said that when he went up the mountain to hunt, he encountered the anger of the mountain god and bumped into the broken stone tablet of the present world! And the so-called stone stele, in the eyes of the people of Baicun, is the order of the mountain god!
In the words of the villagers, the special order of the mountain god is the decree of the mountain god's blessing! And in the end, the so-called changes, in the eyes of the villagers, were all taken by the mountain gods to the fairy world to enjoy happiness!
Therefore, although they know that they may be in danger of their lives when they encounter the mountain god order, due to the reverence of the mountain god for generations, the villagers of Bai Village must take it home when they see the mountain god's order, in order to ask for the protection of the mountain god, even if something happens, it is also a great blessing! In particular, the stone monuments with carved patterns or murals are regarded as treasures by the villagers!
What the eldest son of Shi Laohan encountered was a stone tablet that still had ancient texts! And what Chen Kui said was that the clue to the tomb of the Emperor of Qi came from this broken stone stele, but Chen Kui did not see the content of this stone stele, but it was told to Chen Kui by the last Taoist priest who entered the village, that is, his fellow Taoist!
The stele engraved with ancient texts is obviously from the tomb, and now that it has been confirmed that the stele does exist, according to common sense, there must be a big tomb in the white mound! And where the eldest son of Shi Laohan met the stone tablet, there should be a passage to the tomb!
"That means that the place where the so-called mountain god's wrath occurred is very likely to lead directly to the tomb! So what is the wrath of this mountain god? ”
"According to the villagers' description, it should be a landslide!"
"What do you mean by should!" Zhou Wenwu hurriedly said: "Lao Chen, you have also been here for a while, right?" Why don't you know if you don't know any new clues! The place where the wrath of the mountain god occurred, whether it was a landslide or not, just go and see it! ”
"What you think about in the next life is simple!" Chen Kui said helplessly: "Decades ago, Baiqiu was still an isolated existence! The entire White Hill is a holy place in their eyes, and there are no villagers
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Do you think you'll be able to probe without permission? Moreover, the huge white mound, there is no one to lead the way, who knows where! ”
"Having said so much, I still have to go into the village to say good things to these uncivilized mountain people!"
"Shhhhh In your later life, why did everything change the taste in your mouth! It's called negotiation, negotiation! ”
Chen Kui finally couldn't stand Zhou Wenwu's straightforwardness, and the latter laughed and said: "Hey, is what I said true, then what, eat enough, don't be idle, go and meet Shi Laohan for a while!" ”
Zhou Wenwu said, get up first, and there was no objection to the meeting of our eyes, so that under the leadership of Chen Kui, we finally walked towards the village, as soon as we entered the village, the villagers along the way walked out when they saw this, standing in front of their own door, looking at us coldly, and the hostility in their eyes was not concealed!
Seeing this, Zhou Wenwu said in a low voice:
"Why do these villagers look like this, they don't know what to do!"
"Say less! Chen Lao, where is Shi Laohan's house!? ”
I followed the direction pointed by Chen Kui, and first looked at the layout of Shi Laohan's house, as the village head of Bai Village, Shi Laohan's house is one of the few mud houses in the village made of a mixture of stone and adobe, and it is located in the very center of the village, which is quite conspicuous!
The two earthen houses sit in the north and face south, and there is no rush around, but there is no taboo!
We walked in front of Shi Laohan's house under the cold gaze of the surrounding villagers, the earthen wall is not high, and the courtyard gate is not closed, but we didn't dare to go in directly, standing outside the courtyard and looking, there is a shirtless teenager in the middle of the courtyard constantly crashing towards a big tree in the yard!
Now it is autumn, the weather is getting cooler, but the young man does not care at all, the sturdy body keeps hitting the trunk of the tree, causing the branches to shake, and the leaves on it have already fallen clean, and looking at the traces of the bark falling off, it is obvious that this situation is not a day or two! But this young man seems to have become accustomed to it, and every time he bumps into it, he makes a few laughs, as if he is amusing himself!
"Pillars! Is your dad here? ”
Chen Kui shouted, and the young man immediately turned around, revealing a boxy sallow face, he looked ordinary, with a flat head, and his appearance was obviously not as big as mine, but his body was only a lap smaller than Lu Hong! Seeing this, he showed a completely defenseless honest smile and said:
"It's you, the old Taoist! My dad is at home, but didn't he say that he wouldn't let you come! Why did you still bring so many people? ”
This slightly silly boy is the youngest son of Shi Laohan!
His voice landed, and a person walked out of the room, an old man of small stature, about sixty years old, with the same sallow complexion, full of wrinkles on his face, pursing his lips, quite majestic!
"Why are you here again? What do you want to say? ”
"Ahem! Chief Shicun, you see that we are also for your good! Otherwise, it would be impossible to find a helper! This big guy is looking at it.,Do you see it.。。。 ”
"Humph! For us? I'm afraid it's just for the bounty given by the government, right? ”
"Hey! Geezer! It's a modern society! Be careful when you speak! Zhou Wenwu directly interrupted Chen Kui, who still wanted to speak, and shouted: "The whole world is socialism, and you, the village chief, can't the tail of feudalism anymore!" If the patent is alone, be careful that the position of the village chief is not guaranteed! ”
"Huh! The affairs of my Bai Village are managed by my Bai Village people! Who is the village chief is not up to you! ”
"Hey, I'm grumpy...
I hurriedly stretched out my hand to stop Zhou Wenwu, and sneered: "Village Chief, we didn't count what we said about your Bai Village!" But you are not only the village chief, but also your father, your mother-in-law is dead, your eldest son is dead, is it possible that the next one still wants your little son to follow? Or are you going to go first on your own? ”
