Chapter 43: Tales of the Mountains
Most of the villagers in Shiraxia Village are hunters. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Orion's house, and there is no shortage of meat.
It's just that the wild things that are brought in don't have time to eat and will rot. So it's all smoked and dried.
Smoked and dried pheasants and hares naturally taste less delicious than freshly killed living creatures. But it has a heavy taste, and the meat is more chewy.
The village chief accepted Niu Hao's silver, and the dinner prepared was naturally rich.
On the table are two large pots of boiled bacon.
In addition to meat, there is also a jar of wine.
Niu Hao is not hungry for meat.
It is a pious woman who is hungry for meat, and she can't eat enough at once.
The village chief glanced at the pious girl and poured wine for Niu Hao.
The pious woman's eyes were fixed on the pieces of meat in the basin, as if a cooked pheasant and hare would flee if she was not careful.
Niu Hao and the village chief had just picked up the wine bowl, and the pious girl couldn't wait to reach out and take out a large piece of meat from the basin, revealing a hideous look and gnawing it.
The village chief couldn't help but stare at the pious girl, Niu Hao smiled at the village chief, and said:
"The mouth is anxious, and I can't help it when I see the meat. ”
The village chief drank wine with a wine bowl, and glanced at Sister-in-law Fu.
Sister-in-law Fu sat at the table, tense and vigilant.
Sister-in-law Fu was vigilant, not afraid of what would happen to the village chief.
Sister-in-law Fu is afraid that the pious girl will do something out of the ordinary for a bite of meat.
This happens all the time.
The village chief put down the wine bowl and wanted to fish out a piece of meat to eat. The pious woman stopped nibbling on half of the meat, her eyes fixed on the village chief's outstretched hand, and a faint roar came out from deep in her throat.
The pious girl was obviously protecting the food, which made Niu Hao a little embarrassed.
Niu Hao was embarrassed, and Sister-in-law Fu's round eyes couldn't help but scold.
The village chief waved his hand at Sister-in-law Fu.
"She is not an ordinary person, so why should she be required according to ordinary people. ”
Niu Hao looked at the village chief and said sincerely:
"The village chief is really a knowledgeable person. ”
The village chief picked up the wine bowl, took a sip of wine, and said:
"I have lived all my life, and I have been in the mountains every day, and there will always be a few times when I am bumped into by the charm of the mandrill forest. ”
Niu Hao suddenly became interested, and said to the village chief:
"Tell me, tell me what's going on. ”
The village chief put down the wine bowl, and Niu Hao fished a piece of meat from the basin and gave it to the village chief.
Along the way, Niu Hao suddenly bought chickens for the pious girl to eat. No matter how pious a woman protects food, she can't compete with Niu Hao.
The village chief said:
"Mandrill, there's nothing to say. The little man looks ugly and has a terrible temper. ”
As he spoke, he swept his eyes over the pious woman.
"This forest charm ......"
Speaking of Lin Mei, the village chief couldn't help but pick up the wine bowl and take a big sip.
Niu Hao has heard of the charm of the mountain mandrill forest, but he has never seen it.
The village of Qiantou is also next to a mountain. But the mountain was so small that even a wild wolf couldn't support a few, let alone a mountain ghost tree spirit.
The village chief put down the wine bowl, and Niu Hao picked up the wine jar and poured it for the village chief.
The village chief recalled the situation back then, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
"In this mountain. ”
The village chief said.
"After the Mountain Emperor Temple, and then go inside, deep in the valley, there is a hot spring. This hot spring, we call it Yaowang Spring. The people in the village have headaches and brain fevers, and they can be cured with this spring water. It's just that although the spring water of Yaowang Spring is good, we don't dare to be greedy. ”
Niu Hao couldn't help but ask:
"Why?"
The village chief replied:
"I'm afraid that I can't afford to be greedy. ”
If you can't pay it yet, who will you give it back?
The village chief went on to say:
"Next to Yaowang Spring, there is a wild peach tree. No one can say how many years the wild peach tree has grown. In spring, the peach trees bloom and turn the valley in pink. ”
The village chief stopped, looked at Niu Hao, and said:
"That year, at your age, I went into the mountains alone to check the trap that had been laid the day before. When I walked past the Yaowang Spring, I heard singing in the woods. That's a good one. I couldn't help it, so I crept into the woods and saw a girl bathing in the Yaowang Spring. ”
Niu Hao's eyes widened for a moment.
The village chief picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine.
"It is said that the fairies in the sky are good-looking. How good-looking, I don't know. But the girl who took a bath said that she was a fairy in the sky, and it was not an exaggeration at all. The black hair, floating in the pool water. The face is white. Those eyes are like being able to speak. He looked at me and snatched my soul away at once. ”
Niu Hao couldn't help but ask:
"Village chief, then you, didn't talk to that girl...... What's that?"
The village chief laughed, and his laughter was hearty and incomparably cheerful. After laughing, he shook his head at Niu Hao.
Before Niu Hao could ask, Sister-in-law Fu couldn't help but ask:
"Why? Are you afraid that girl will kill you?"
The village chief took a sip of the wine bowl and said:
"Where did that girl come from? That girl was made of a peach tree next to Yaowang Spring. According to the legend in the mountains, she came out to find the bridegroom. You're going to jump into the Medicine King Spring and ...... with her."
The village chief said and looked at Niu Hao.
"What's wrong with her, you and Peachtree Girl are married. You're married to Peachtree Girl, and you're going to leave with her. At that time, I still had my parents at home, and I really couldn't let go. ”
Niu Hao couldn't help but be curious and asked:
"That girl was peeked at by you in the shower for nothing, and really let you come back?"
The peach tree became a fine and took a bath in Yaowang Spring, and was seen by the village chief, so he took advantage of it and turned around and left. Nothing at all?
Not to mention peeking at a goblin taking a bath. You go and peek at a big girl taking a shower to see if she will be beaten to death.
The village chief said:
"Baishang Ridge is hundreds of miles in radius, and there are so many mandrill forests, but they are all under the control of the Mountain Emperor. The mountain emperor is majestic and does not allow them to act willfully. Therefore, there are very few goblins hurting people in Baishangling. As for me peeking at the peach tree spirit bathing ......"
The village chief sighed faintly.
"In this world, nothing can be taken for nothing. Just like the water of Yaowang Spring is good, it can cure all kinds of diseases, but we don't dare to take more, for fear that we can't pay it back. The wild peach tree turned into a girl and bathed in the Yaowang Spring, which I saw. But it's not for nothing. I can't fit any other girl in my heart anymore, and I haven't married a wife in my life. ”
Listening to the village chief's words, Niu Hao was stunned on the table for a moment.
Sister-in-law Fu looked at the village chief and asked:
"Then do you regret it? Because I couldn't help it back then, I peeked at the peach tree girl taking a bath, and I didn't marry a wife in my life. ”
The village chief raised his head, looked out at the dark night outside the house, and laughed for a while.
"Let me choose again, and I'll go peek at Peachtree Girl taking a bath. Even if I can't look down on other girls in my life, it is enough to have a fairy in my heart. ”
The village chief said and looked at Niu Hao and Sister-in-law Fu.
"I told the villagers, when I die, don't bury me in the village graves. Carry me into the mountains and bury me under the wild peach tree. When I was alive, I couldn't marry Peachtree Girl, and when I died, I became a ghost and went to serve her. ”
Niu Hao picked up the bowl, bumped into the village chief, and did it all.
