[Chapter 1427 Land Lord]
Huangjia Village, a remote and ordinary mountain village in Northwest China.
The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and 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, up to now, the village has no electricity.
There are more than 120 households in the whole village, and the population is around 500.
Different from other villages, because the land here is fertile, as long as you are a little diligent, you don’t have to worry about food and drink. In addition, the young people in the village are basically illiterate, so most of the young people stay in the village and do not go out to work.
Therefore, this is a completely self-sufficient village outside the world. Only to buy some necessities, the villagers will walk a few hours of mountain roads to buy in market towns dozens of miles away.
There is a dilapidated earth temple at the head of the village.
Due to its long disrepair, the earth temple has grown overgrown with weeds, the statue of the earth is rusted, and even cracks have grown on both arms, as if it may fall off at any time.
But just as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gushing out, the tattered god statue of the earth suddenly burst into a circle of blue light, and the two cracked arms actually healed automatically, and even the rusty god statue also took on a new look, as if it had been rebuilt by someone. General paint.
At the same time, a pair of eyes of the land statue also radiated a faint green light, which seemed a little strange.
After a while, the green light dissipated, and the land image returned to normal.
When night fell, the old man Liu, who had returned from weeding, resisted the hoe and passed by in front of the Temple of the Earth with 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 a state of tatters. Why did it only take a few hours, the land statue was like Refreshed?
Just when the old man Liu stared at the statue of the earth for a while and looked at it curiously, the eyes of the statue of the earth suddenly glowed with a faint brilliance, but this faint brilliance disappeared in a flash.
But the next moment, Old Man Liu had an idea, picked up the hoe, and started hoeing weeds around the Temple of Earth.
It took more than ten minutes for the old man to hoe the weeds around the Temple of the Earth, but he was suddenly surprised. What happened to me, why did the hoe suddenly come here?
Although he was a little puzzled, the old man Liu didn’t think much about it, picked up his hoe again and headed home.
Because there is no electricity in the village, people in the village go to bed earlier.
At nine o’clock in the evening, the nightlife in the big city has just begun, but in Huangjia Village, all the villagers have already fallen asleep.
When they fell asleep, they didn’t realize that the statue of the apprentice at the head of the village exuded a faint blue light, shrouding the whole village.
The next day at six o’clock in the morning, the sky was still gray. When Liu Laohan woke up, he found that the old woman who slept in the same bed with him had disappeared. He guessed that the other party got up and went to make breakfast.
So he put on his clothes and came to the kitchen with his pipe in his mouth, only to find that the kitchen was deserted, and there was no fire at all.
“Old lady! Where did you go in the early morning?”
The old man Liu raised his voice and shouted.
“You old man in the early morning is called mourning!” The old woman’s voice came from outside the yard, and then she saw her old woman walking in from outside.
“Where did you go this early in the morning?” Old Man Liu asked.
“Lord Land gave me a dream last night, I went to burn incense paper!” The old woman said as she walked to the kitchen.
“Master Tudi really entrusted you with a dream?” Old man Liu had a strange look on his face, because last night, he also dreamed of Lord Tudi.
“This is still fake, not only I dreamed it, but the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family, the old woman Zhang of the Zhang family, and…!” The old woman said a lot of names in one breath.
Hearing that so many people are being entrusted by the Earth Lord, the old man Liu’s expression became even more strange, and he secretly asked: Is it really that the Earth Lord has manifested a spirit?
Thinking of this, he strode outside.
“Where are you going?” cried the old woman.
“I’ll go to the Temple of the Earth to see!”
The old man Liu replied, and the pace under his feet also accelerated. Soon, he came to the head of the village, and found that the earth temple, which used to be extremely cold, seemed extremely hot, and he could smell the smell of incense from far away.
“Old man Liu, are you here to burn incense too?”
An old man in his sixties, with a thin appearance and a hunchback, asked with big yellow teeth.
“I heard that Lord Land has appeared, come and see!” said the old man Liu.
“Isn’t it? It seems that everyone in the village got the dream of the land master last night!” Ma Huanbei said mysteriously.
“Did you dream too?” Old Man Liu asked, looking at the horse’s hunchback.
“Yeah!” Ma Humpback nodded: “You think it’s strange, why did this land master suddenly appear!”
The old man Liu tapped his pipe twice, but he was a little worried in his heart.
For the next day, the entire Huangjia Village was discussing the apparition of Lord Land.
At the same time, there are also many people who do not have incense paper money at home, but they go to the town to buy paper money and incense together.
In the special space connected to the Temple of Earth, there is a dilapidated mansion.
Sitting in the mansion was a short old man who looked like a statue of the earth. However, at this moment, his face was covered with cracks, but with the continuous influx of incense 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 incense only restores 1% of the old man’s divine body, which is far from enough. It seems that we have to ask these villagers for a dream. Let them slaughter some livestock to pay homage to my god!”
That night.
The villagers of Huangjia Village were once again entrusted with dreams by the land master, and all the villagers were called to the threshing ground in the village.
The land master first praised those who worshiped him, and then criticized those who did not come to worship him, and said that he would punish the villagers who disrespected him.
Then 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, in the next morning, Huangjia Village became lively again.
Before dawn, everyone rushed to the Temple of the Earth, and those who did not have incense at home even formed a team to buy incense in the town.
“Hey, Huang Sanwa’er, what’s the matter with you, are you sick!”
The old man Liu was also going to pay his respects to Lord Xia Di. As soon as he went out, he saw his neighbor, Huang Sanwa, breathing heavily on a tree.
Huang Sanwa is 1.85 meters tall, strong and strong. She is a good farmer. She is also a veteran. When she returned from the army two years ago, she married a girl from the village as her mother-in-law. Now she is the father of two children. .
But unlike in the past, today’s Huang Sanwa looks very weak, and walks staggeringly.
“The land lord blames me for not worshiping him, and punishes me!”
Huang Sanwa weakly said that he was also entrusted to the dream the night before yesterday, but he did not take it seriously as a soldier, and even his daughter-in-law was going to worship, but he was stopped.
No, last night, the land master had a dream and criticized him. Then when he woke up in the morning, he felt powerless. Even his daughter-in-law was sick and was still lying on the bed.
Although he didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, he couldn’t help not believe this time, so he planned to go to the neighbor’s house to borrow some incense to worship the land master.
When the old man heard this, he was shocked. When he was dreaming last night, it seemed that Huang Sanwa was criticized by the land master. Could it be that Huang Sanwa’s appearance was made by the land master?
