Chapter 61 Taoyuan Township
Early the next morning, Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi, who had slept all night and had back pain from the concrete floor, followed Joseph and them to start today's expedition.
It's just that today the expedition lacks the taciturn Chen Weilun.
As early as last night, after dinner, he had greeted Joseph in advance, and he was not going to act with the expedition for the next two days.
"Then be careful on your own road, don't run outside the village......" Joseph only admonished, and did not stop Chen Weilun, "This village is not big, a whole day is enough time to explore, we will leave for home early tomorrow morning." ”
As for Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi, they originally came here to verify the supernatural rumors of Changsheng Village, and the former even compiled a list of things to explore based on those rumors, so there was not much problem in following the expedition team.
Of course, after one night, most of the supernatural rumors on Zhao Chensi's list with the night as the background of the story were self-defeating.
The reason is simple.
They waited for most of the night with great interest, but in the end they did not hear anyone coughing in the village at night, nor did they see the strange light in the village at night, nor did they have the privilege of seeing the fantasy scene of a pile of paper piercing people running to mourn and welcoming their relatives, beating gongs and drums, crying and shouting, disturbing people's dreams.
The night in the mountains seemed to be extremely silent, and after the night passed, I could not hear the sound of insects, nor the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees, nor was I harassed by mosquitoes, snakes and ants.
It was supposed to be an excellent environment for sleeping, but several of them didn't sleep for most of the night in order to verify the supernatural rumors.
Shi Yu, who was looking forward to the supernatural experience, is now walking in the team with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, and she is quite disappointed with the unremarkable experience last night: "I didn't see the paper people and didn't see the paper lanterns, and I waited all night for ......"
Yang Xin: "I'm just skeptical of the outrageous rumors...... Shi Yu, you really take those supernatural rumors seriously? ”
Joseph, who had just finished washing his face with mineral water, came over to take over the topic: "In fact, most of the supernatural rumors are caused by the parties chasing after the wind, intentionally or unintentionally adding preconceived ideas and subjective thoughts to the description. ”
"Then one person passes on two people, two people pass on four people, and so it spreads rapidly, and everyone will have deviations when relaying, adding a little personal understanding and subjective imagination to it, or omitting some information, and finally it will become more and more evil, even if it is a very normal thing, it will become very intriguing."
Zhao Chensi also added coldly next to him: "If you have the heart to collect all those boiling supernatural rumors, you will find two very interesting facts, one is that the beginning of these supernatural rumors is basically the same, either: I have a friend who has heard from others, or I have heard from others...... It starts with either my friend's personal experience, or this is my personal experience......"
"Then you count the number of people again, and you will find another interesting fact......" Then Zhao Chensi spread his hands innocently, and calmly said a funny fact.
"You will find that there must be at least seven or eight or ten people at the location of those supernatural rumors who have watched the supernatural events of ghosts and ghosts, or the occurrence of supernatural phenomena, and then calmly leave under the noses of ghosts and supernatural phenomena, and sing this story to everyone like a bard."
Shi Yu tilted his head and imagined the scene described by Zhao Chensi, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Poofhahahaha!" When you say that, I won't be able to look directly at those supernatural stories in the future! ”
Wan Qi looked thoughtful: "Put yourself in your shoes, if a young person encounters a ghost or supernatural phenomenon, probably many people's first thought is to take a picture and post it on Weibo to Moments, right?" ”
Hearing Wan Qi say this, even Joseph couldn't help laughing, and Yang Xin even covered his mouth and chuckled and agreed with the same feelings: "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely do it if I change it, first wind Weibo to share with you the great discovery of this century!" ”
Perhaps it was Zhao Chensi's description that poked Shi Yu's laughter, this little girl who looked like a junior high school student quietly laughed for a while, and then looked at the former with a flushed face and bright eyes: "Then what are the supernatural rumors next?" ”
It seems that Zhao Chensi has been regarded as the tour guide of this expedition.
Zhao Chensi turned his head to look at his mobile phone memo, which not only contained the electronic version of the expedition list he listed, but also the details of each supernatural rumor: "The next one is the stream called the Ghost River in the north of the village, which flows all the way down from the top of the mountain through the north and east of Changsheng Village. ”
"It's a pity that the water resources gradually dried up, and the stream and its underground river gradually dried up, so at first it could not be used to irrigate the farmland, and then at the worst time, the water from the hand-pressed wells could not be extracted, and the water supply for every household became a problem, so the villagers moved in the future."
"The reason why it is called the Ghost River is that after the stream dries up, people can still hear the sound of the water gurgling and flowing, and they can feel the feeling of the water soaking their fingers when they reach out with the sound, but after pulling their hand back, their hands do not touch the dampness of the water source, because they only hear the sound and do not see their shape, so they call it the Ghost River."
"There are also some people who say that the old people in Changsheng Village generally live a long life, because they drink these natural water in the mountains, which contain strong energy and can prolong life......
At the end, he frowned and commented on the rumor mercilessly: "What the hell is this? Can the person who made up this rumor use his brain? If they can prolong their lives and live long if they consume strong energy, why don't they drink nuclear waste liquid? One cup is refreshing, two cups are never tired, and these three cups and five cups are delicious, and it is estimated that you will be able to live forever. ”
"Puff ......" Shi Yu's eyes smiled like a pair of crescents again, obviously Zhao Chensi's poisonous tongue and humorous complaint made her feel very interesting, "Then let's go see the ghost river!" ”
Ten minutes later, the group came to the river, which had long since dried up and was covered with large rocks and small pebbles.
"Next is ......"
It took about half a day to walk around the supernatural list, and the village is so big, and there are only so many places where there are supernatural rumors that can be transmitted, from the north of the village to the south of the village, and from the south of the village to the west of the village, until noon, they have almost finished shopping the supernatural locations and rumors on Zhao Chensi's list.
As a result, there was naturally nothing to discover, and those supernatural rumors on the Internet have been identified as false after they have been hammered.
After this journey, Shi Yu also became familiar with Zhao Chensi, and she ran to the latter's side with a smile and called him by his name: "Chensi, where is our next stop?" ”
"The last stop is the broken temple at the east end of the village, where it is said that a fairy is enshrined and worshipped, and some netizens on the Internet who claim to be villagers of Changsheng Village said that at the end of the Warring States Period, before the Qin Dynasty was about to sweep Liuhe and sweep the Eight Wilderness, a group of displaced people migrated to the mountains and jungles on the roof of Sichuan and Hubei in order to escape the war and tax conscription, and established a settlement here." Zhao Chensi stared at the phone and replied without raising his head, and began to walk towards the east of the village.
"After those homeless people have been cultivating and recuperating here for a generation or two, an immortal imperial sword came to patronize this isolated small village, and the immortals took pity on the short-lived mortals and passed on some methods of immortality, so that the short-lived villagers could also prolong their lives and enjoy longevity, and then the immortals did not stay in the village for long before riding the wind and leaving, leaving only the long sword they carried with them."
"Since the immortals fell at the east end of the village at that time, and the villagers did not dare to touch the treasures of the immortals, they later built a temple there to worship the long sword, and at the same time sacrificed to the land immortals, hoping that he would one day visit this small village again......"
Yang Xin looked puzzled: "This story sounds quite mythical, but are the villagers in this story so good at collecting gold?" That's a fairy baby...... Mortals generally want that, right? ”
Zhao Chensi shrugged and said that he didn't know: "Who knows? Anyway, it's a myth, maybe the immortals cast a spell on the sword, and ordinary people can't use it? ”
Wan Qi also quipped on the side: "Yes, yes, for example, the immortal stuck the sword into the ground and cast a spell, and then left a legend that the person who is not destined cannot pull out the sword, and the person who pulls out the sword will be crowned emperor or something......"
"Why does this plot sound a little familiar...... Joseph's eyes widened like brass bells: "Did the immortal finally go to Britain and change his name to Merlin?" ”
Zhao Chensi slapped his head on the door: "God King Arthur legend!" ”
A few people gaged, which made Shi Yu on the side laugh so much that he leaned back and almost couldn't breathe.
The group came to the east end of the village with a smile and a smile, but before they reached the place where the ruined temple was, they were shocked by the unusual beauty in front of them.
It was a forest of pink flowers.
Pink flowers bloomed on the bare branches, and even the air was filled with a faint sweet smell, and the sky was full of pale pink flowers, and the ground was a pink flower path piled up by petals, and the flower rain flower path stretched to the place where curling smoke rose at the end of the field of vision.
The herbs are delicious and the fallen flowers are colorful.
When Shi Yu saw this desperate situation in the world, she suddenly felt that the girl's heart was bursting, and a thousand words were blocked in her mouth and turned into an exclamation.
"Huh? Did we see such a flower forest when we came yesterday? Yang Xin looked at the pale pink flower forest in front of him with a puzzled face.
Wan Qi casually took a falling petal, looked at the trees with flowers not far away, and judged based on his limited knowledge: "This seems to be a peach blossom?" ”
Zhao Chensi's eyebrows twitched: "Peach blossoms? Are you kidding me? The peaches are almost ripe this season, where are the peach blossoms to see? ”
Joseph pressed the straw hat, hiding most of his face in the shadow of the brim, and frowned without leaving a trace: "I didn't see this peach blossom forest when I came here yesterday......"
"Look ahead of you there's a house and a smoke!" Before Joseph could continue, Shi Yu pointed to the house at the end of the peach blossom forest where the smoke was slowly rising, and said excitedly: "Do you think there are still people living in this village?" Let's go check it out! Say hello to the villagers! ”
