Village Chief Tang said that what happened in the past two days was hard for him to digest.
My old father was a little strange, so he suddenly asked him to open the village ancestral hall and clean it inside and out. Without saying anything, he also took him with him to lay incense and make offerings to the memorial tablets.
And what subverted his imagination was that not only did Aunt Mo come to offer incense, but a wild raccoon from nowhere suddenly scurried into the village temple, messed up the fruits and snacks presented to the memorial tablet, and even swept them down.
The row of memorial tablets in front is really abominable.
At that time, Aunt Mo flipped her hand and threw a dart, hitting the wild raccoon. Immediately, the wild raccoon rolled to the ground and became motionless.
That move stunned him on the spot.
Until now, he has not come back to his senses.
She is obviously older than her father, and she has never been very tough and walked slowly and leisurely. Aunt Mo, who is afraid of falling if she is not careful, is so nimble?
That’s Kung Fu, right?
Right?
Aunt Mo is not an ordinary village woman?
How do you know Kung Fu?
Village Chief Tang has always known that their Songshan Village has a big secret related to the village ancestral hall.
But he didn't know what the big secret was.
His father said that this secret would only be told to the next successor village chief before he dies.
He is also in his sixties this year. I think this secret will be told to his grandson Tang Wen directly, bypassing him in the future.
Who told his father to think that he was not very steady in his work?
Although he was very curious, he didn't dare to make any trouble in front of his father.
If you can't know, you can't know.
The secret was too big for him to keep, and he couldn't stand the trouble after all.
Just when Aunt Mo came out yesterday, his heart was still jumping.
After all these years of watching from the same village, he really didn’t realize that Aunt Mo could actually do kung fu!
Do you think this has something to do with the big secret in the village?
Village Chief Tang walked back and forth in the yard, looking up and over into the landlord's house. He still couldn't help but wonder what to do?
Oh, secrets and stuff are really not fun.
As soon as Song Qiu led Li Mi into the courtyard gate, he saw the village chief's grandpa walking around in the yard. He couldn't help but wonder, "Village chief grandpa, what are you walking about?" Aren't you afraid of getting dizzy?
Village Chief Tang came back to his senses and looked over, "Is it Aqiu? Are you looking for me or your great-grandfather?"
As he spoke, he saw Li Mi behind him again, "Who is this?"
Song Qiu hurriedly introduced: "This is a guest in my inn. I thought our village was pretty good, so I got interested and came to take a look."
Then he said to Li Mi: "Master Li, this is our village chief."
Li Mi raised his hand and said, "Village Chief Tang, junior Li Mi, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Song Qiu: Look, she didn’t say their village chief’s surname was Tang.
She quickly glanced up at the landlord's house. She didn't meet her grandpa in the village just now. He didn't go out, so he should be in the house.
Seeing that this young man was well-mannered and well-dressed, Village Chief Tang smiled and asked people to go into the main room, saying, "Master Li, hurry up and come in and sit down."
He also asked his daughter-in-law to come out and serve tea to the guests.
As the village chief, they always have tea at home.
If you meet the village chief and come to their village, there will be no tea reception, but it's not like that.
Li Mi sat upright on the chair, very polite and polite, while chatting with Village Chief Tang.
"When I walked in, I saw the pleasant scenery, quiet and peaceful scenery of your village. The villagers live in harmony, talking and laughing, and felt very friendly, just like returning to my own home. This made me want to settle down here," Village Chief Tang said.
It’s well managed.”
"What the hell! This is all due to the simplicity and kindness of the people in our village. They are all from the countryside. There is nothing to do. They just want to have food and clothing and live a down-to-earth life. They don't have the time to think about anything else."
Village Chief Tang was naturally happy when he heard outsiders praising the good atmosphere in the village. He couldn't help but think that it was a good thing that Mrs. Cao and her son were expelled from the village. Otherwise, a rat droppings would ruin a pot of soup, which would not be a good thing.
Li Mi sighed, "The village chief is right. People work hard just for food and clothing. Unfortunately, there are wars in the south and the Changle Kingdom is coming fiercely. I don't know what will happen."
Speaking of this, the village chief was also worried, "Yes, in any war, it is the common people who suffer! I heard that many people on the Lingnan Pass have fled with their families, so I hope that General Yu will show his power and defeat the enemy."
It’s best to block the advance outside Lingnan Pass, otherwise we, the people of Jingzhou Prefecture, will also have to leave our homes.”
Li Mi Shen felt the same and then continued: "Yes, since ancient times, it is the common people who have suffered from wars or natural disasters. I heard the elders in my family say that the severe drought in the south over fifty years ago harmed many common people.
In Jingzhou Prefecture, there are many people whose ancestors fled south."
Song Qiu quietly sat with them at the end of the street, listening to what they were saying without interrupting.
As soon as he heard Li Mi's words, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Look, it's coming, it's coming, it's time to get to the point."
She raised her eyes and glanced at her ear door, but saw no movement in the room.
But she knew that her grandfather must be inside.
Before we get out, the village chief and grandpa won’t be able to hold it anymore.
Look.
When the village chief heard Li Mi talk about the floods in the south fifty years ago, he felt that he and Li Mi had a very pleasant conversation, and agreed: "Yes! Our village's ancestral land is in the south, and it was also because of that.
My ancestors escaped from the great disaster and settled here in Jingzhou Prefecture. Is Mr. Li also from Jingzhou Prefecture?"
Li Mi said: "I am from Xiangzhou Prefecture, but my cousin's family is in Jingzhou Prefecture. When I was young, I went to live with my cousin's house. I often liked to listen to the stories told by the concierge. He was a victim who escaped from the disaster that year. He was the only one who escaped.
A man came out alive, but he was so disheartened that he didn't want to go back to his hometown and hurt his feelings, so he sold himself into slavery."
"I heard he said that his family was from Longzhou Prefecture. At that time, Longzhou Prefecture was the most severely affected. There was a severe drought for three years. There was no harvest and there was a lack of water. Many people died of hunger and thirst, so they had to flee.
.”
Although the village chief has no personal experience, he often heard old people talk about the severe drought that year when he was a child, so he has some feelings about it.
"Yes, Longzhou Prefecture is indeed the hardest hit."
Li Mi then asked, "Is the Tang village chief's ancestral home also in Longzhou?"
The village chief nodded, "Yes, our ancestral land is in Qingshan County, Longzhou Prefecture. I heard from my father that in the villages around us at that time, no one could get a handful of rice, and many people died.
, everyone was scared, so they had to move their families out to find a way to survive."
"Qingshan County, that's a good place. I like to travel and have been there before. It was the season when the tung flowers were blooming. The whole county was filled with brilliant tung flowers, which was extremely beautiful. Also, Chongming was under its jurisdiction.
There is a hundred-mile bamboo sea in the town, and being in it is really like a fairyland."
Li Mi talked eloquently, with a trace of reminiscence in his expression.
"Not to mention, even the village surrounding the bamboo sea has beautiful scenery and is extremely nurturing. But there is something strange about it. I heard that it was originally called Jinhua Village, but it was abandoned without a single person."
Song Qiu listened and cursed in his heart. First of all, he said that they were raising people in the village. It was obvious that he came here with a purpose.
She was wondering why the grandpa didn't come out yet.
I heard the village chief laugh and say: "Oh, Mr. Li has been to Qingshan County and also to Chongming Town? What a fate. Coincidentally, our ancestral home is in Chongming Town. The abandoned Jinhua Village you mentioned was originally our home.
Where is it!"
Li Mi looked surprised, "Oh? That's how it is? That's really fate!"
