Chapter 1421 Land Lord
Huangjia Village, a remote and ordinary mountain village in Northwest Prefecture.
The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains. In addition, the mountain roads are steep, and even motorcycles are difficult to pass. Therefore, until now, the village has not been connected to electricity.
There are more than 120 households in the whole village, with a population of around 500.
Different from other villages, because the land here is fertile, as long as you work a little harder, you will not have to worry about food and drink, and the young people in the village are basically uneducated, so most of the young people stay in the village and do not go out to work.
Therefore, this is a completely self-sufficient extraterrestrial village. Only to buy some necessities, the villagers will walk for several hours on the mountain road to the market town dozens of miles away to buy.
There is a dilapidated earth temple at the head of the village.
Due to years of disrepair, weeds have grown all around the Temple of the Earth, and the statue of the God of the Earth is also rusty. There are even cracks on the two arms, which seem to be likely to fall down at any time.
But when the aura of heaven and earth gushed out, the dilapidated statue of the land god suddenly burst into a circle of blue light, and the two arms full of cracks healed automatically, and even the rusty statue of the god was completely new, as if it had been rebuilt by someone. The paint is average.
At the same time, a pair of eyes of the land statue also emitted a circle of faint green light, which seemed a little strange.
After a while, the green light dissipated, and the land seemed to return to normal.
As night fell, the old man Liu, who had returned from weeding, was passing by the Earth Temple with his hoe in his hands and a pipe in his mouth.
He passed by here almost every day. He didn't know what the land looked like, but when he went up the mountain to weed in the afternoon, the land statue was still in dilapidated condition. Why did it only take a few hours? Freshen up?
Just as old man Liu was staring at the statue of the land with curiosity, a faint brilliance suddenly appeared in the eyes of the statue of the land, but this faint brilliance disappeared in a flash.
But the next moment, old man Liu had an idea, picked up the hoe, and started weeding weeds around the Earth Temple.
It took more than ten minutes for the old man Liu to hoe the weeds around the Earth Temple, but he was suddenly surprised. What happened to me? Why did I suddenly hoe the weeds?
Although he was a bit puzzled, Old Man Liu didn't think much about it, and picked up the hoe again and headed home.
Because there is no electricity in the village, everyone in the village goes to bed early.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the nightlife in big cities has just begun, but in Huangjia Village, all the villagers have already fallen asleep.
They fell asleep, but they didn't realize that the disciple god statue at the head of the village emitted a circle of faint blue light, covering the whole village.
At six o'clock in the morning of the next day, the sky was still gray. When Old Man Liu woke up, he found that the old woman who shared the bed with him had disappeared. He reckoned that she had gotten up to make breakfast.
So he put on his clothes, came to the kitchen with a pipe in his mouth, only to find that the kitchen was deserted and there was no fire at all.
"Old woman! Where did you go so early in the morning?"
Old man Liu raised his voice and shouted.
"Early in the morning, you old man is called mourning!" The old woman's voice came from outside the yard, and then saw her own old woman walking in from outside.
"Where did you go this early in the morning?" Old Man Liu asked.
"The Lord of the Land gave me a dream last night, I'm going to serve incense and burning paper!" said the old woman as she walked to the kitchen.
"The Lord of the Land really gave you a dream?" Old man Liu had a strange expression on his face, because last night, he also dreamed of the Lord of the Land.
"It's still false, not only I dreamed it, the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family, the old lady Zhang of the Zhang family also dreamed it, and...!" The old woman said a series of names in one breath.
Hearing that so many people were entrusted with dreams by the Land Lord, Old Man Liu's expression became even weirder, and he thought to himself: Could it be that the Land Lord really appeared?
Thinking of this, he strode outside.
"Where are you going?" cried the old woman.
"I'll go to the Earth Temple to have a look!"
Old man Liu replied, and his pace also quickened. Soon, he came to the head of the village, and found that the earth temple, which was extremely cold in the past, seemed extremely hot, and he could smell the smell of incense from a long distance away.
"Old man Liu, are you coming to burn incense too?"
An old man in his sixties, with a thin appearance and a little hunchback, grinned his big yellow teeth and asked.
"I heard that the land master has appeared, come and have a look!" Old man Liu said.
"Isn't it? It seems that I heard that everyone in the village got a dream from the Land Master last night!" the hunchbacked horse said mysteriously.
"You dreamed about it too?" Old man Liu asked while looking at the horse's hunchback.
"Yes!" Ma hunchbacked and nodded: "Don't you think it's strange, why did this land master suddenly appear!"
Old man Liu clicked his pipe twice, but he felt a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know whether the appearance of the land master was a good thing or a bad thing.
In the next day, people in the whole Huangjia Village were talking about the apparition of the Lord of the Land.
At the same time, there are also many families who do not have paper money for incense sticks, so they go to the town to buy incense sticks with paper money.
In the special space connected to the Earth Temple, there is a dilapidated mansion.
Sitting cross-legged in the mansion was a short old man who was born seven to eight times like the statue of the land. However, his face and body were covered with cracks at the moment, but as streams of incense continued to pour into this special space, After being absorbed by him again, the cracks on his body are gradually shrinking.
An hour later.
The little old man stood up and muttered to himself: "This little incense can only restore one percent of the old man's spirit body, which is far from enough. It seems that I have to give dreams to these villagers. Let them slaughter some livestock to pay homage to my god!"
that night.
The villagers of Huangjia Village were dreamed up by the land master again, and all the villagers were summoned to the threshing ground in the village.
The Lord of the Land first praised those who worshiped him, and then criticized those who did not come to worship him, and said that they would punish the villagers who disrespected him.
Later, he made a request, hoping that the villagers would slaughter three cows, five sheep, and twelve chickens and ducks each to worship him tomorrow.
Therefore, on the next morning, Huangjia Village became lively again.
Before dawn, everyone rushed to the Earth Temple, and those who did not have incense at home even formed a team to buy incense in the town.
"Hey, Huang Sanwa, what's the matter with you, are you sick!"
Old man Liu was also going to pay homage to the Lord of the Earth. As soon as he went out, he saw his neighbor Huang Sanwa propping his hands on a tree to breathe.
Huang Sanwa was born with a height of 1.85 meters, strong and strong, good at doing farm work, and a veteran. After returning from the army two years ago, she married a girl from the village as a wife. Now she is the father of two children. .
But different from the past, today's Huang Sanwa looks very weak and walks unsteadily.
"The land master blamed me for not worshiping him, and punished me!"
Huang Sanwa said weakly, the night before yesterday he was also entrusted with a dream, but he didn't take it seriously as a soldier, and he even stopped his daughter-in-law from going to worship.
No, last night the land master had a dream and criticized him, and when he woke up in the morning, he felt powerless, and even his own daughter-in-law was sick, and she was still lying on the bed.
Although he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, this time he couldn't help but not believe in them, so he planned to borrow some incense from the neighbor's house to worship the Lord of the Land.
When Old Man Liu heard this, he was shocked. When he dreamed last night, it seemed that Huang Sanwa was pointed out and criticized by the land master. Could it be that Huang Sanwa's appearance was made by the land master?
