It is said that the puppy Yunqing stayed in the small village in the mountains for a month and several days, every day either followed the water pine into the mountains to hunt or followed the water Xiaohua butt in the village to scurry, teasing chickens and dogs, so unhappy, really did enough of a dog's duty, this day followed the small flower to the square behind the village, on this mountain, the square in front of him is really not small, a water of bluestone paving, with the increase of the years, the bluestone is not so smooth, the potholes record the passage of those years, in peacetime, the protagonist of the square is a child who is giggling and playing, but today, people are focused on a temple at the end of the squareThe walls of the loess pile have long been weathered, the soil has fallen off the ground, and the roof tiles are also in tatters, I don't know whether the gods or the ancestors of the villagers are worshipped inside, but the puppy who has been in the village for a while knows that people usually will not enter the temple, the black wooden door is tightly closed, there is no lock, no window, so gloomy place, I don't know what happened to people today, set up a table in the square, cut the flower cloth that can only be bought from a long distance, and decorate this small temple little by little, Xiaohua, a heartless girl, can not see the temple, and the people in the square and all kinds of villagers can attract all her attention, Leaving the puppy Yunqing behind, he took the opportunity to shuttle through the crowd to see what news he could hear, who cares about a dog, it is no longer ordinary, and after a long time, he really gave it something to understand.

From the mouth of a few old people, this temple is not dedicated to the gods nor ancestors, more like a fierce thing, but why do the villagers want to worship it, this has to start from the ancestors of the villagers, about five or six hundred years ago, the ancestors of the villagers in order to avoid the war, they fled into the mountain range, to here, see that the terrain here is quite flat, cut wood for beams, pile soil into a wall, settle down, but you think, the old forest spirits in the deep mountains are crisscrossed, life is still not easy, until one day, a villager found this earth temple, the days are considered to be peaceful, the villagers and the fierce things in the temple made a contract, every five years, when the wild flowers on the mountain bloom all over the slopeFor hundreds of years, the two sides have fulfilled their promises, and have not exceeded, over time, this sacrificial ceremony has become a village festival, when the wild flowers bloom on the mountain, the young girl and the boy wear beautiful clothes, meet in the square, the song game, the contract or something is only operated by the old people, the elderly people will not deliberately tell the young people something, for fear of scaring the children, let the children live a happy childhood.
The village chief's house is full of elderly people in the village today, different from the lively atmosphere outside, the air here is a little dignified, the people who smoke dry tobacco are smoking dry tobacco, and those who drink water are bored and drinking water, for a long time, the eldest Uncle Dai in the village said, "Don't cry and mourn your face, it's time to celebrate Eid al-Adha, be happy, don't scare the children for a while, black egg, you are the village chief, you come to preside," At this time, I saw that the village chief's knees were weak, and he knelt down in front of Uncle Dai, "Dad," Holding his legs and crying, the old people in the room trembled, lowered their heads, Uncle Dai touched the head of the village chief, and the old eyes were also full of tears, "Okay, okay, who called us the people of Cuckoo Village, this is fate, five years ago, you Uncle Liu walked into the earth temple for the whole village, today it's my turn, the old man, I have seven out of ninety this year, and I have lived enough, this is the oath made by the ancestors, and I can't break it, child, take the people in the village to live well," said he patted the village chief fiercely," Go and set the wine, today I want to have a good drink with the old guys," after speaking, he sighed again, "Don't delay me from entering the temple at night," after speaking, he wiped his tears, "The old guys come and come, we don't get drunk and don't return," After a while, put on the mountain treasures, pour fruit wine, Uncle Dai clinked glasses next to each other, the elder brother said a few playful things when he was a child, recalling the past bits and pieces, in laughter accompanied by tears, accompanied by Uncle Dai to finish the meal, until the sky gradually got dark, the people in the square gradually walked away, Uncle Dai wore a brand new clothes, quietly came to the square in the company of everyone, there was no torch light, under the starlight, after Uncle Dai and people said goodbye one by one, a person walked to the earth temple, squeaked and pushed open the wooden door, entered the temple, bang, the temple door automatically closed, between opening and closing, a trace of breath leaked from the temple instantly froze everyone's soulIt took a long time for people to react, look at each other with timid eyes, and go home.
