158, have you ever heard of Liucun? [Ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass]
"Is it the grandmother who came to sell the account to my wife this morning?" Gu Chen obviously recognized her. 35xs
As a person with a specialized-level memory, Gu Chen can now clearly do it, and for a person who has been observing for more than five seconds, he can strengthen the recognition within a week.
The wind is blowing.
The garbage on the side of the road began to flutter in the wind......
The vegetable merchants loaded the unsold vegetables onto the small three wheels and left helplessly.
If it doesn't rain, the vegetable vendors may be able to sell for an extra hour.
But now, seeing that it is about to rain heavily, if you don't leave, you will have to be drenched in soup.
Many people don't have any shelter from the rain, and this is the case with this old woman in front of her.
"How do you sell these vegetables?" Gu Chen walked up to her and asked.
In the darkness, the old lady looked particularly haggard, with only a flashlight beside her, and the light was very weak.
It can be seen that it usually rubs the lamp of the vegetable vendor next to it, but now that the vegetable vendor next to it has left, it has become unusually dark.
The thin old lady held her knees with her hands, slowly raised her head, and said, "Two yuan and one catty, if you can be cheaper, it's the last point." ”
"It's all about it. Gu Chen reached out and dug into his pocket, only to find a fifty yuan bill.
He knew that the old lady didn't have mobile payment and couldn't play.
The old lady moved very slowly, Gu Chen simply squatted down to find the bag, packed it himself, and then said, "No need to weigh it, this money should be enough." ”
"There should be about ten catties here, I'll find you money. "The old lady is very persistent.
"No need, you have the money. Gu Chen looked at the sky and said, "It's also about to rain, you better hurry home." ”
"Thank you, guy, for smashing. The old lady spoke weakly, and slowly packed up her things.
After Gu Chen got up to leave, he found that the road was empty, and the dry roads around him were gradually getting wet with raindrops.
Soon, huge raindrops began to fall drop by drop.
Gu Chen looked back at the old lady uneasily, she was still there to collect things.
Action...... It's still very slow.
Gu Chen didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and ran back again, hugged all the old lady's things in his hands, and said, "Let's go to the eaves to take shelter from the rain first." ”
Five minutes later......
The rain was pouring down, and Gu Chen and the old lady hid in front of the closed storefront, waiting for the rain to recede.
"Where is the old lady from?" Gu Chen tried to find a topic to avoid this awkward atmosphere.
He found that he did not speak, and the old lady did not speak at all.
"Guy smash, have you heard of Liucun?"
"Liu Village?" Gu Chen tried to recall this place, as if he had heard of it, but he was not impressed.
And listening to the old lady's accent, she should also be a native of Jiangnan City, and Naliu Village should also belong to Jiangnan City.
After sorting out his thoughts, Gu Chen asked, "Which town does Liucun belong to?"
"It seems that you don't know about the haunting of Yanagimura. The old lady smiled and shook her head, as if there was something in her words.
Gu Chen snorted twice: "Old lady, do you still believe in this year?"
If you want to talk about superstitions and the like, the elderly, especially the elderly, are still very superstitious.
Liu Village, which could be said from her mouth, seemed to have happened before, but Gu Chen definitely didn't know.
"Liucun belongs to Meishan Town, which is still dozens of miles away from the town center, and our entire village is surrounded by a small river, which cuts off the road to the outside world. ”
"Then how do you usually get out, don't you build bridges?" Gu Chen asked.
The old lady shook her head and continued: "We have preserved the original appearance of the ancient for generations, a hundred years ago, there was a big willow tree by the river that was struck down by lightning and crossed the river, but since then, the big willow tree has miraculously come back to life, and the branches have become a natural bridge for our villagers to cross the river. ”
The more Gu Chen listened, the more energetic he became, and he said in his heart that this Liu Village still has this meaning.
There are indeed many villages with a story like this in Gangnam City.
Even some nameless villages, although they have no cultural heritage, will make up some traditional stories in order to get a piece of the cake of rural tourism.
Interests are always the driving force for people to go forward.
But the old lady doesn't look like that kind of person, which shows that Yanagimura is still a little sophisticated.
"What about the tourism resources of your hometown...... It should be quite rich. Gu Chen began to make up this wonderful picture in his mind.
You must know that there are still a lot of characteristic ancient villages in Jiangnan City, and Gu Chen also wants to find an opportunity to travel with his family.
"Well, it's good, our village is a natural blessed land. The old lady said with great interest, but suddenly sighed: "But in the last six months, I don't know what's going on, and I'm often haunted." ”
Speaking of this, the old lady sighed softly and said: "In the past, there were often art students who sketched and organized groups to come to the city, but now the haunted things are getting more and more intense, and some people even say that the willow tree is unlucky, and we must move out of the village collectively, otherwise everyone who lives there will die." ”
"Who is so boring?" When Gu Chen heard this, he didn't have a good temperament.
If a village that was originally good was said like this, who would dare to go? It is clear that someone is spreading rumors.
"You're wrong again, young man. ”
"Am I wrong again?"
"Hmm. The old lady's haggard face looked very calm: "Liucun is no longer suitable for human habitation." ”
"Why?" Gu Chen frowned and decided to continue asking.
"There's no why, if you ask me why, I don't know. The old lady didn't seem to want to mention it.
As the rain gradually faded, some stray dogs passed by from time to time to find food in the garbage dump.
Gu Chen's curiosity about Liu Village has become stronger and stronger.
's natural curiosity, coupled with the fact that the old lady speaks halfway, is equivalent to half of a good-looking variety show, and suddenly starts to insert advertisements.
This is a kind of torture for ordinary people, but for Gu Chen, it is a kind of torment.
"Old lady, can you tell me about the situation in your Liucun village in the past six months? Maybe I can help!"
The old lady pondered for a long time, and then gradually let go and said, "I also think that your young man is very good, okay, then grandma will tell you." ”
Gu Chen folded a sack and put it on the steps: "You sit!"
"It's strange to say. After the old lady sat down, she also pondered for a moment: "We have an ancient temple in Liucun, although it is dilapidated, but it has also experienced a hundred years of wind and frost, and the dilapidated stone statue of the mountain god in the temple has always blessed our side with peace." ”
"But I don't know what's going on recently, in the last six months, the small animals near the ancient temple have begun to die mysteriously, and usually the villagers go to the mountains to pick medicine and pick fruits, they will rest near the ancient temple, and the children often go to the ancient temple to hide and seek. ”
"Not now, whoever wants to stay near the ancient temple for a long time will definitely die, my wife has been cultivating land around the ancient temple for a long time, and not long after those small animals died, he passed away, and even the doctor couldn't find out the reason, everyone said that the wandering spirits in the mountains were doing tricks. ”
Therefore, since then, the people in the village have not dared to approach the ancient temple at will, and some people even say that after the willow tree fell, the ghosts that were originally suppressed also began to come out to make trouble. ”
"And many people in the village are inexplicably sick, and some strange sounds are often heard at night, coming from the ancient temple, but it is scary, and many people are scared away. ”
The old lady spoke very slowly, and for a long time, she still had palpitations after speaking, and even showed a look of shock on her face.
Gu Chen coughed twice and broke the terrifying atmosphere with a smile.
It was supposed to be a good chat, why did the old lady start telling ghost stories?
Of course, is there another hidden meaning in this? Gu Chen doesn't know now.
It can only be said that the results will not be available until after the investigation.
If Yanagimura is really like the old lady said, it was the willow tree that fell, causing a series of strange events, then it seems a bit nonsense.
Looking up at the sky, Gu Chen asked, "Old lady, where do you live now?" I can help you carry your things. ”
"No need young man, I rented a house nearby, and I usually buy some food in the vegetable wholesale market, and sell as much as I can, anyway, Liucun can't go back, you better go home quickly." ”
"That's fine. Gu Chen looked down at his watch, it was already late, so he explained a few words and turned to leave.
When they got home, Comrade Gu Baichuan and Ms. Xiao Xiaofang watched their son walk into the house with a large bag of vegetables, and they were also confused.
"Son, what kind of food are you buying? so much?" Ms. Xiao Xiaofang said shocked.
Even if my son likes to eat vegetables, he doesn't need to buy so many at once!
"I saw an old man selling vegetables on the side of the road, and when it was the last point, I simply bought it all. Gu Chen also explained simply.
For him, it means a gesture, but for the old lady, it may be a question of how long it will take to get home.
"Okay, let's put it next to the refrigerator, we won't buy meat this week, we will only eat vegetables. ”
Comrade Gu Baichuan quit and said, "Gu Chen, looking at the good things you did, you don't know how to buy some meat to go home by the way?!"
"Well, I'll remember next time. Gu Chen said and went to look for clothes, ready to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
Ms. Xiao Xiaofang hurriedly stopped: "Don't let our son go grocery shopping, this kid never asks the price when buying groceries, an old lady is fine, if it is a bunch of old ladies, he can turn other people's retail into wholesale." ”
After all, her son is biological, and Ms. Xiao Xiaofang knows best who Gu Chen is.
People are desperately bargaining when buying vegetables, but Gu Chen's buying vegetables is more like doing charity, and he can't afford to hurt.
After taking a bath, Gu Chen's fatigue of the day also disappeared, he sat in the room, opened the map on his mobile phone, and began to look for the location of Liucun in Jiangnan City.
That's right, the last time I went to Meishan Town, where I went to popularize the law, twenty kilometers to the north, there is indeed a place called Liucun.
Liucun is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with primeval forests that cover the sky and the sun, as well as majestic mountains.
Judging from the pictures, the river here is spotless, like a fairyland Yao Pond, and the structure of the ancient village is also very exquisite.
It stands to reason that living in this kind of earthly fairyland, the local villagers should live a long life, where will there be bizarre deaths?
"This matter, I must react to Senior Brother Wang when I go to work tomorrow. Gu Chen frowned, opened the transcript, and recorded the part he heard from the old lady tonight in the form of words.
If he could, Gu Chen was willing to go to Liucun to investigate the situation and see if it was really as the old lady said.
After completing all the work, Gu Chen put away his things and came to the living room to accompany his family.
He knows that his parents are getting old day by day, and he can only say that he can accompany him every day.
On the sofa, Comrade Gu Baichuan and Ms. Xiao Xiaofang, watching the idol drama of the domineering president ten years ago, could even laugh at the sound of a pig, Gu Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Mom. ”
"Huh?"
"Borrow the nail clippers in your hand, and I'll use them. Gu Chen said.
Ms. Xiao Xiaofang was absent-minded: "Why do you want nail clippers?"
Gu Chen squinted his eyes and said helplessly: "I want to ...... Slay the dragon. ”
"Slaying dragons?" Ms. Xiao Xiaofang's gaze finally returned to Gu Chen's body: "Can that gadget slay dragons?"
"Then I can only use it to cut my nails. ”
Xiao Xiaofang: "Then you didn't say it earlier." ”
......
