Chapter 263 “Mountain God Appears”, Feudal Superstition (1760.1780+)

261

While the people of Taoyuan County were cheering, Qijia Village was in shock and surprise!

After the rain stopped, the people in the livestock team got up and went to the stream to wash up as usual. But as soon as they went out, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

Oh my god?

Zuo Li didn't have time to wash up, so he ran back with a basin and shouted: "Everyone, go out and take a look, the back mountain... the back mountain..."

He was so surprised that Zuo Li, who had always been steady, became stammering.

"What happened to the back mountain?" Xiang Rong came out of the house wearing clothes and carrying a washbasin.

When the others heard Zuo Li's voice, they also got dressed and came out and followed Zuo Li out.

Except for the gate, you can see green and lush green. The trees seem to have grown a lot taller overnight, and the grass on the ground seems to have emerged from the soil overnight. It is more than a foot tall and very special. Dense, with barely a trace of dirt visible.

"Our back mountain was not like this yesterday!" Professor Wang frowned and thought hard. Although she didn't understand botany or climatology, it was unscientific to see such a big change overnight.

No matter how much she claimed to be knowledgeable, she still couldn’t figure it out.

"Yes, the grass on the mountain yesterday was dry and yellow, and the leaves of the trees were also scattered." Old man Qi said in surprise, "It's really strange. Could it be... Is it true that our Qijia Village really Is it a geomantic treasure as rumored?"

"What are you talking about, so superstitious!" Old Man Bai didn't believe this and retorted, "It must have rained. If there is rain, the trees will naturally be so lush."

"But it became like this overnight, don't you think it's strange?" Old Man Qi said, "It's like being cast by a magic spell, it became like this overnight."

Everyone was speechless and looked at each other speechlessly, unable to explain such a phenomenon.

"Zuo Li, go talk to the village party secretary and let him know what he knows." Old man Qi said, "No matter what, it's going to rain anyway, and my mother is getting married. We should eat, drink, and have everything." Destiny!"

Qian Shikun laughed and said, "That's a good saying. Anyway, green mountains are more pleasing to the eye than bare mountains."

"What I'm saying is that it's much easier to cut the grass. Don't run so far." Sun Sihao said. There are nearly thirty livestock of all sizes in total, and each of them is very edible. There was no grass on the nearby hillside, so they had no choice but to dig inside, which might be dangerous.

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved, yes, everything has a destiny!

Thinking so much is unfounded!

Zuo Li went to tell Village Chief Qi about the changes in the back mountain. Secretary Qi ran to the back mountain himself without even eating breakfast. He was so surprised that he was speechless for a long time!

Okay, okay, the lush back hills are back again.

Although Village Chief Qi didn't say it, he really recognized Qijia Village as a geomantic treasure land.

This blessed land is wonderful!

Last year, not a grain of grain was wasted. This year, other villages suffered from drought, but Qijia Village did not. They also found a water source to alleviate the drought.

What surprised him even more was that the back mountain became lush overnight!

After Village Chief Qi returned home, he took out the straw paper at home, cut out the paper money, found the incense and candles from the past, and began to pay homage to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, hoping that they would always bless Qijia Village.

By the time He Tiantian woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Grandma Qi San has finished cooking and is about to ask He Tiantian to get up and eat!

He Tiantian heard the shouting and stretched. She slept so well and had a thrilling dream at night!

He Tiantian thought that the unusual experience last night was a dream!

After dinner, He Tiantian carried a bamboo basket and hummed "Purple Bamboo Tune" as she headed to the back mountain.

Along the way, He Tiantian encountered several waves of people, rushing to the back mountain animal husbandry team.

He Tiantian was surprised and wanted to ask, but those people ran too fast to catch up, and happened to see Qi Ergou leading Yang Xiuxiu.

"Second brother, you are running so fast, what are you looking at?" He Tiantian asked. Suddenly she had a bad guess, was it... Did something happen to the animal husbandry team?

Qi Ergou said with a smile: "The mountain behind has a spirit, and everyone is going to worship the mountain god!"

Has the back mountain appeared?

Worship the mountain god?

what is this?

God, she didn't see it, only the snake king and the stone statue of the whirling turtle!

"Let's go first." Qi Ergou dragged Yang Xiuxiu and ran towards the livestock team. It seemed like there was gold in front of him, and he was eager to grab it!

By the time He Tiantian arrived at the back mountain, many people were already kneeling at the foot of the mountain, clasping their hands together, praying for God's blessing. They are not stupid and can make their own associations. Although it is wrong, when they come out to thank and worship, they will feel more at ease.

Qijia Village is a place favored by the gods!

They don't know what it's like outside, but here, they are in awe!

At this time, the voice of the Snake King came to my mind: "I passed through the tribulation yesterday, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nourished the area ten miles around. This mountain, in particular, absorbed more essence, which is why such a big change occurred. Not a god!"

He Tiantian suddenly realized, stopped and did not approach the foot of the mountain.

Professor Wang saw He Tiantian standing outside and said, "Tiantian, why are you standing there? Aren't you going to say goodbye?"

"No." He Tiantian shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if the villagers say goodbye, no one will report them. But I'm afraid if I go, someone will report them."

What He Tiantian said was not without purpose. She just saw Qi Fangfang.

With a brother like Qi Jianguo, Qi Fangfang is not a good person either!

It is rare to have a peaceful day, and she does not want it to be ruined. She just wants to work hard and wait for the New Year to reunite with her parents and brother Yingjie.

"That's right. It's raining on the mountain. You can go to the mountain to cut grass in the afternoon." Professor Wang said, "I made chrysanthemum tea. Let's drink some together."

"Okay." He Tiantian agreed happily.

Professor Wang poured the tea, and He Tiantian drank a few sips silently.

Seeing that He Tiantian didn't speak, Professor Wang thought that He Tiantian was thinking about things outside, and smiled: "Are you curious too?"

"Yes, I'm very curious." He Tiantian smiled, "Isn't Professor Wang strange?"

Professor Wang didn't answer, but asked again: "Do you really think there is a mountain god?"

He Tiantian was stunned, then shook her head and said: "Compared with the mountain god, I believe that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come. But people have always had a sense of awe, maybe people's hearts will not be so complicated."

Professor Wang knew that He Tiantian was smarter than ordinary girls, but he didn't expect that He Tiantian could have such insights at such a young age.

"Yes, without a sense of awe, people will go crazy." Professor Wang said with emotion. Compared with awe of gods, she hopes that people will respect the law more.

However, imperfect laws and imperfect law enforcement are the biggest problems now.

I hope this period of time will pass quickly and usher in a new stage of development.

She is not only proficient and familiar, but also familiar with the history of Huaxia.

In history, every dynasty change and establishment will go through a period of struggle before it can stabilize and enter a prosperous period. The most famous one is the early years of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Shimin killed his brother and seized the throne, stabilized the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and created the Zhenguan era.

I hope this period is also a short period of chaos before stability.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Let's not talk about such a heavy topic! Professor Wang, you have made a great contribution this time. I heard that Secretary Qi is applying for you to communicate with your family. Uncle Niu in the commune will help you, and this matter is expected to succeed."

"Such a great kindness!" Professor Wang smiled, "To be honest, I really miss my son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter. I don't know how they are doing in Nanshi? Have they been wronged?"

He Tiantian saw from the mental state of Gu Yujun and his wife that they were not well, but they could still survive.

"Everything will be fine." He Tiantian encouraged, "They are young, and it will be better if they can receive your letters."

Professor Wang rubbed his eyes and sighed: "I hope so. I have some money here, which is not needed. Can you help me send it to them?"

After Professor Wang met the basic needs of life here, he began to worry about his children and grandchildren in the city, worried that they were not well fed and clothed. With a little money, he thought about improving the lives of his children.

Such a professor Wang reminded her of her parents in Nanshi, and gave her the accumulated food coupons and cloth coupons and money.

He Tiantian nodded: "Okay, when I go to the county, I will help you remit the money to Uncle Gu."

"Thank you so much." Professor Wang thanked, and as he was speaking, Qi Ergou came in with his wife Yang Xiuxiu carrying things.

When He Tiantian saw Qi Ergou carrying things, she thought that he would go to school tomorrow, and these things were brought to thank Professor Wang and Professor Gu.

In the past two months, Qi Ergou has learned a lot of knowledge from Professor Gu and Professor Wang.

Unlike Qi Xiaoyan who only studied music, Qi Ergou had to take many courses. Fortunately, Professor Gu was good at liberal arts and Professor Wang was good at science. They gave Qi Ergou two months of intensive tutoring, allowing Qi Ergou to fully master the knowledge of junior high school and understand the difficulties of high school.

He will not fall behind in college.

"Teacher Wang, thank you and Teacher Gu." Qi Ergou brought a piece of cloth, ten kilograms of rice, one kilogram of sugar, one kilogram of salt, four gifts. Although simple, they are all used in daily life.

Professor Wang wanted to refuse, but he thought that it would be bad if he accepted Qi Xiaoyan but not Qi Ergou, so he smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite. You are going to college soon. Since you have this opportunity, you should study hard. Talk less, work harder, and acquire knowledge is the real ability."

"I know, my mother also told me not to get involved in those messy things, and to concentrate on learning knowledge." Qi Ergou said, "I will leave tomorrow, Professor Wang, if you trust me, I will mail you something."

"Isn't this bad?" Professor Wang hesitated, "After all, you have to bring a lot of luggage."

"It's okay." Qi Ergou said, "My family will send me to the county town, I will mail you the things and then take the train."

"Okay, I will pack the things and send them to you in the evening." Professor Wang said, after all, He Tiantian still had things to do, and it was not easy to go to the county town. Since Qi Ergou was on the way, let Qi Ergou help.

"The road is not good at night, I will come to pick it up at 8 o'clock in the evening." Qi Ergou smiled honestly, and he was very happy to be able to do something for the teacher.

"Then I'll trouble you, brother. I won't have to go to the county town." He Tiantian smiled and said, "I wish you a safe journey and academic success."

"Thank you." Qi Ergou scratched his head.

Yang Xiuxiu beside him was smiling all the time and stood beside her husband obediently.

Professor Wang, He Tiantian had a good impression of Yang Xiuxiu. No wonder Director Zhao asked around for this daughter-in-law.

At noon, He Tiantian went home and turned around to take another look at the lush and green mountains.

Everything was so beautiful!

Because there were dense trees and weeds on the back mountain, He Tiantian and other members of the animal husbandry team cut almost the amount of grass they used to cut in two days in one afternoon. Old Man Qi also started his work of herding cattle and sheep.

The livestock could not eat all the grass, so Old Man Bai, Professor Wang, and Professor Gu dried the grass and kept it as feed in winter.

The crops in the fields also changed every day.

Because it rained and the drought was alleviated, Liu Lingli never came to fetch water again.

He Tiantian devoted herself to work and read books in her spare time. Her life was very fulfilling. Especially no one harassed her, it was very comfortable.

Without Qi Xiaoyan, He Tiantian had closer contact with the educated youth at the educated youth point. Sometimes, when the educated youth had nothing to do, they would follow He Tiantian to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

Niu Peng personally sent a certificate of award to Qijia Village, as well as a commendation order from Professor Wang and Professor Gu, and allowed them to contact their families in Nanshi.

"Thanks to Qijia Village this time!" Niu Peng thanked, the marriage his nephew found was very good.

Village Chief Qi said modestly: "We are all serving the people!"

"By the way, I heard recently that there is a mountain god in your back mountain. This matter can be big or small. This trend must not spread any further." Niu Peng reminded, reminding Village Chief Qi in advance so that he would be aware of it.

"Who?" Village Chief Qi was stunned, "We in Qijia Village have always been concerned about the overall situation. Why do some people still dislike us?"

"First of all, it is Deputy County Chief Zhang and Director Zheng who are in charge of this aspect. They have been idle recently and want to find something to do." Deputy County Chief Niu said, "Secondly, there are indeed many people in your village who are feudal and superstitious; finally, I guess you are also implicated by me."

"Are you kidding? How could you implicate our village?" Village Chief Qi asked puzzledly. Niu Peng has been doing practical things in the commune and has a good reputation among the people.

"Some people are jealous of my achievements and are trying to compete for my position, so they talk about Qijia Village, but I suppressed them." Niu Peng said that those people don't like peace, because if it is peaceful, they will have less power. "

"Alas, ordinary people don't understand this." Village Chief Qi said with emotion, "I've made a note of it. I'll have a meeting this afternoon to let everyone pay attention. There are hundreds of people in our village, and we are not afraid of those people in the unit. But you are in the rivers and lakes, and you can't help yourself. Take care of yourself. If you need us, just say it, we have no choice. "

After listening to Village Chief Qi's words, Niu Peng was very moved. Regardless of whether Qi Dazhu can help, it is already very good to have such an attitude. It is worth it to help Qijia Village before!
