Chapter 8 The Origin of the Rock Village

Hu Jiu, originally a native of Chenjia Village, a few miles away from Stubborn Rock Village, his mother Deng Li, is 1.58 meters tall, fair-skinned, and has an elder brother named Deng Jianjun at home, who lives in Stubborn Rock Village, but his right leg was disabled after joining the army and retiring from the army.

Although Deng Li is uneducated, she is well-known for her virtuousness in the village, so she is still a good girl.

At the end of the 1980s, the remote mountainous villages in the deep west also enjoyed the dividends of the national economic reform, and with the support of the Chinese national policy, they began to plan the electrification of the villages!

Because the village is located in the edge area of the western part of Anyuan County, and is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are dangerous!

Strange to say, this western part of the country is usually dominated by small hills with hilly terrain, but this stubborn stone village is unique, surrounded by high mountains.

The mountains are lush and green, making it difficult for human beings to climb, but the interior is gently sunken, and the road to the village from the outside is rough and bumpy.

really responded to the old saying "Sichuan Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky!"

However, the inside of the stubborn stone village is as flat as a river, as if the paradise recorded in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring, where the traffic is blocked, and it is difficult for ordinary vehicles to enter.

If it weren't for the task of electrifying villages and villages issued by the Liuchuan provincial level in Anyuan County, I am afraid that the stubborn stone village would have been forgotten by Anyuan County.

Hu Jiu's father's name is Hu Ningde, he is 1.73 meters tall, has dark skin, always has a smile on his face, and shows a mouthful of teeth that are not straight.

Take a closer look, there is a bit of handsomeness under a bit of polite temperament, which makes people feel good.

He happened to be a temporary electrician in charge of the circuit laying in the stubborn stone village, with a high school education, and he was considered a high-achieving student in that era.

Because Deng Li is very good at cooking in the village, she was arranged to cook for the construction team in the village.

After Deng Li became pregnant, Hu Ningde went to the coastal economic development area to seek a way, at a time when the country was vigorously developing infrastructure in the coastal area to stimulate the country's economic vitality.

Soon, Hu Ningde became prosperous in Shenkun City, a special economic development zone.

Because the wedding anniversary of the two is the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

Therefore, Hu Ningde chose the name of the child in advance, the boy was called "Hu Jiu", and the girl was called "Hu Jiu".

A month before Deng Li gave birth, Hu Ningde's company sent a telegram saying that Hu Ningde was missing! The family didn't believe it at first, but Hu Ningde, who had originally said that he would rush back before giving birth, never heard from her.

As soon as the news of Hu Ningde's disappearance came out, he was happiest than his opponents in Chenjia Village, the three brothers of the Chen family, because Hu Ningde's family moved to Chenjia Village later, and his parents died of illness after moving over.

The Chen family has three brothers, the eldest is called Chen Biao, the second Chen De, the third Chen Ming, relying on the fact that they have three brothers, they are usually used to being powerful in the village, and Hu Ningde, an intellectual, is not used to these evil forces, so the relationship has not been good.

Once when the village was redividing the land, Hu Ningde was not used to the domineering and arrogant of the Chen brothers, so he had a dispute with him, and this hot-blooded angry young man fought with the three brothers of the Chen family, but don't look at him as just one person, he was a sportsman in high school, so the three brothers of the Chen family did not please him, and since then he has held a grudge against Hu Ningde.

When Deng Li was about to give birth, she died a few hours after giving birth to Hu Jiu, some people say that she died in childbirth, some people say that she gave birth to a monster and was finally killed, and some people say that she was beaten to death, everyone has different opinions.

So Hu Jiu has lived with his grandmother and uncle in Stubborn Stone Village since he was a child.

Speaking of the stubborn stone village, listen to the older generation of people in the village.

Hundreds of years ago, bandits entered Liuchuan, burned and robbed all the way, mainly concentrated in the wealthy Yaodu in the northeast of Liuchuan Province, when Yaodu had five families, namely the Deng family, the Wang family, the Zhang family, the Liu family and the Chen family.

The Deng family is the head of the five major families, with amazing wealth, countless land, and a large number of self-supporting guards.

It's a pity that in the end, due to negligence in training and actual combat in the war, a lot of wealth and land became fat in the mouths of the bandits, and the old head of the Deng family endured the pain and carefully selected fifty Deadpool guards overnight.

With 15 people from the Deng family's lineage, a total of 65 people, they fought their way out of the encirclement and fled all the way to the mountains in the west, and finally only 17 people remained, ten Deng family descendants and seven seriously injured Deadpool guards.

In the evening, they fled deep into the mountains and forests to the west, and encountered a mountain forest higher than the surrounding mountains, and after they hurriedly climbed over the col, they entered a strange valley with flat terrain.

The trees and plants in the valley were so dense that they continued to flee westward, until they reached the westernmost part of the valley, where they saw a waterhole and had no way forward.

A few meters away from the waterhole, stands a huge stone like a hill, in the shape of an oval, the stone side is dark and smooth, shining in the moonlight, making the body slightly cool!

The other side is white and flawless, uneven, as if it has been chiseled by a worker, and it also exudes a warm and hazy white light in the moonlight, which makes people relax for a while!

Just as everyone was looking at this strange stone, a white light suddenly flashed!

A few minutes later, there were exclamations from the crowd, and everyone found that all the injuries on their bodies had healed, and it felt like every cell in the body was bathed in a strange stream of heat, circulating back and forth from the top of the head to the tips of the toes.

Everyone was instantly energetic, and the fatigue and panic that had been caused by fleeing earlier were also swept away.

Everyone was stunned by this strange scene, and after a long time of being in a trance, they knelt down on the big stone together, calling it the sacred stone.

After resting here for a night, on the second day, the Deng family ordered people to investigate the surrounding terrain and found that this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack and extremely hidden, if they hadn't fled in a hurry, it would have been difficult to stumble into such a hidden paradise-like valley by mistake.

What's more, there is a peculiar sacred stone in the valley, which has since settled down here and changed its name to Shenshi Village.

The reason why it is called the village is because in the early years, I heard from the elders of the older generation that if the people in the village were sick or injured, or even pregnant women were about to give birth, they would come to the vicinity of the stone to pray for blessings!

Therefore, a wooden house was built next to the waterhole, and the wooden house was dedicated to the shrine, and the shrine was not a god but a small stone in the shape of a sacred stone.

In those years, as the township cadres frequently visited the village, the villagers were affected by the culture of reform.

On several cracked walls in the village, there are also conspicuous white characters:

"Independence, self-reliance, hard work, diligence and thrift!"

"Sweep away all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!"

The young people in the village returned from studying abroad, and they all advocated science and medicine, and everyone also brought experts to study the sacred stone, in addition to getting the result that this stone is a meteorite outside the sky, it is not as magical as the older generation said!

The village secretary, a young educated youth sent from outside the village, strongly opposed the promotion of feudal superstition, so he and several intellectuals in the village renamed Shenshi Village "Stubborn Stone Village".

In the 90s, everyone admired the virtue of hardship and hard work, and it was not easy to get out of a closed mountain village with a few cultured people.

They always laugh and call themselves like a stubborn stone, a tenacious stone. Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, diligent and hard-working, do not forget the original intention to have today's consciousness!

Therefore, the name of the stubborn stone village is also appropriate, which is very in line with the sour energy and pride buried deep in the hearts of this generation of poor intellectuals.

Only a few old people in the village are always chattering and obstructing, but the era that belongs to them has long passed!
