Daya and I were both going to sleep in the empty house of the village committee. Meng Xing's child called us up again and asked us to go to his house to sleep. Later on, I realized that it was Meng Xing's child who was very interested in the laptop computers we brought, so he took the initiative to convince his family.

In fact, Daya and I also felt that living in the villager's house was more comfortable and more convenient than living in the neighborhood committee, so we lived in the room of Mr. Meng's house. But of course, we were rubbed by the kid until midnight. After teaching him to play with the computer for a while, he played a movie for him, which made the kid open his mouth wide, screamed repeatedly, and his face was flushed with excitement.

Meng Xing's nickname is "monkey". In the past few days, I often stayed away at night and insisted on watching dinosaurs, aliens, flying saucers, etc. I went online to find some pictures or movies for him. This kid would run out to show off his companions during the day. He often saw such a child around the mound in front of the door listening to his vernacular language. I guess he was the happiest and most proud of these days.

After a few days, I found nothing, and Daya and I felt that it would be meaningless to continue living here. So we packed up our things and prepared to go back. After breakfast the next day, we greeted Mr. Meng and left the yard with Daya, and planned to say goodbye to Mr. Gu. After all, we have troubled us a lot in so many days.

The old man still sat on the kang, basking in the sun. We often came to sit in the past few days. When we saw us coming, we were very familiar and asked us to sit on the kang and brew a pot of tea. The tea leaves were very broken, and it was very cheap flower tea. However, it was not easy to drink tea in the countryside. Most people did not prepare tea, and there was little habit of drinking tea in the countryside.

After taking a sip of water, I smiled at Mr. Gu: "Uncle Gu, I have really disturbed you these days. My colleague and I are planning to go back. Our work is almost over. This time I come to say goodbye to you."

While saying that, he took out a red box of Changbaishan cigarettes from his bag and placed them directly in front of Mr. Gu: "Uncle Gu, I am very grateful for your support for our work these days. This cigarette was bought by us by ourselves and given to you by the old ones. It is not the money of the public. It is almost the New Year, which represents our feelings."

When Lao Gu saw me take out a cigarette, he was stunned. After hearing me say it, he waved his hands: "Xiao Hu, you are so polite. Old man, I am used to smoking a cigarette. I can't satisfy you. Keep it for yourself. I'll be useless to smoke. I'll get your wishes, but this cigarette cannot be collected."

Daya put the cigarette directly next to Mr. Gu and said, "Uncle Gu, why? Do you still treat us as outsiders? I don't want to smoke cigarettes for anything else in the countryside. There are always people who come to the door empty-handed during the Chinese New Year. They all come from the countryside. They all understand this. When you go back to your hometown during the Chinese New Year, you have to bring some cigarettes and alcohol to your family. We also treat you as our dear uncle. If you don't accept it, what will you dislike us?"

When the ancient man heard Daya say this, he didn't refuse and said thank you a few times.

At this time, a whirlwind blew out of the window, causing the floating snow in the yard and the firewood leaves to fly into the sky. Although we were in the house, we felt a silk wind blowing in.

Lao Gutou saw that Da Ya and I were more interested in this thing, thinking that we were embarrassed to ask for his things, and repeatedly said that this thing was of no use to him, and really wanted to give it to us and let us take it away. After my repeated explanations between Da Ya and I, Lao Gutou believed that we just wanted to study it, but not really wanted it, so we wouldn't say more.

With this discovery, everyone and I didn't leave immediately. At night, we imported the photos from the camera into the computer and looked them up one by one, but we didn't see any clues. Later, we simply sent an email to Liu Ye and sent all the pictures.

After a while, I called Liu Ye and could feel that Liu Ye seemed very tired. I briefly said the matter here. When I talked about the mysterious stone statue, Liu Ye seemed to be very interested. While collecting emails, she talked about what she had done in the past few days after she returned to Beijing.

As I was talking, a scream suddenly came from the phone. I was so scared that I quickly asked Liu Ye what was wrong.

Liu Ye kept saying sorry on the phone, and then told me that it was because she opened the email I had just sent. She knew the stone statue in the picture, which was Usa's "Divine Magpie Protector".

The head of the bird carved on the stone statue is a magpie, which is actually a crow. The crow is the god of joy and protector of the Manchus. There is a legend that "crows save ancestors". The descendants of Manchus all regard crows as gods and cannot harm them. The mountain people in the northeast also have the tradition of "spreading meat and sprinkling wine to sacrifice to crows" when hunting in the mountains.

This kind of magpies with human body and beast heads is generally common in the "Wusa" temple. The guardians used to open the altar should generally be eight stone statues, four civil and four martial arts, which are divided into eight directions, including southeast, west and north. The one we found is dressed by military generals, and corresponding to the "Shen Magpies Protective" stone statues with civil servants' outfits.

The discovery of this kind of stone statue is enough to prove that it must be related to the Later Jin Dynasty, that is, Nurhaci's era. Only in that era, only Usa would use this kind of magpie stone statue as a guardian.
