Huangjia village, a remote and common mountain village in Northwest China.
The village is surrounded by mountains, so to speak, it is surrounded by mountains. In addition to the steep mountain road, even motorcycles are difficult to pass. Therefore, up to now, there is no electricity in the village.
There are more than 120 families in the whole village, with a population of about 500.
Unlike other villages, because the land here is fertile, as long as you work a little harder and faster, you don't worry about food and drink. In addition, the young people in the village are basically illiterate, so most of them stay in the village and don't go out to work.
Therefore, this is a completely self-sufficient village outside the world. Only by buying some necessities, the villagers will walk for several hours on the mountain road to buy in the market town dozens of miles away.
At the head of the village there is a dilapidated earth temple.
Due to the disrepair for a long time, weeds have grown all around the temple, and the idols of the land are also rusty. Even two arms have made a crack, as if they might fall down at any time.
But when the spirit of heaven and earth gushed, the tattered earth god suddenly burst into a circle of blue light, and the two arms full of cracks were automatically healed. Even the rusty God also took on a new look, as if it had been repainted.
At the same time, a pair of eyes like the land also radiated a circle of quiet green light, which seemed a little weird.
After a while, the green light disappeared and the land seemed to be back to normal.
When night fell, old Liu, who came back from weeding, resisted the hoe and passed by the temple with his pipe in his mouth. When he inadvertently swept the earth, he was stunned.
Almost every day, he would pass by here. He didn't know what the land looked like. But when he went up to the mountain to hoe grass in the afternoon, the land was still in a state of tatters. How could it take only a few hours for the land to be completely new?
Just as Liu Laohan stared at the statue of land for a while, his eyes suddenly flashed a light of brilliance, but the light of brilliance disappeared.
But the next moment, old Liu had an idea. He picked up a hoe and began to hoe weeds around the temple.
It took more than ten minutes for Liu Laohan to hoe the weeds around the temple, but he was shocked. What happened to me? How did I suddenly hoe and draft it?
Although he was confused, old Liu didn't think much about it. He picked up his hoe and went home again.
Because there is no electricity in the village, people in the village sleep early.
At 9 p.m. in big cities, nightlife is just beginning, but in Huangjia village, all villagers have fallen asleep.
When they fell asleep, they didn't find out. The statue of the apprentice at the head of the village radiated a faint green light, which shrouded the whole village.
At six o'clock the next morning, the sky was still gray. When old Liu woke up, he found that the old woman who had slept with him had disappeared. He estimated that he was getting up to make breakfast.
So I put on my clothes and came to the kitchen with my pipe in my mouth, but I found that the kitchen was very cold and there was no hot work at all.
"Old lady! Where did you go in the early morning? "
Old Liu raised his voice and shouted.
"In the early morning, you old man called mourning!" The voice of the old lady came from the outside of the yard, and then I saw her come in from outside.
"Where did you go in the early morning?" Old Liu asked.
"The land Lord gave me a dream last night. I went to burn incense and paper!" The old lady said as she walked to the kitchen.
"The land lord really gave you a dream?" Old Liu's face is strange, because last night, he also dreamed of the land lord.
"There's still a fake. Not only did I dream about it, but also the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family and the old woman Zhang of Zhangjia. And..." The old lady said a long list of names in one breath.
Hearing that so many people have been entrusted with dreams by the land lord, old man Liu's look is even more strange. He said to himself, "is it really the land lord who shows his spirit?"?
Thinking of it, he strode out.
"Where are you going?" Cried the old woman.
"I'll go to the earth temple!"
Liu Laohan replied, and the pace at his feet accelerated. Soon, he came to the head of the village and found that the past extremely cold Temple of Tudi seemed to be extremely hot in the brain. He could smell a smell of incense from afar.
"Old man Liu, do you want to burn incense?"
Asked an old man in his sixties, thin and hunchbacked, with big yellow teeth.
"I heard that the land lord has come to light. Come and have a look!" Liu Laohan said.
"Isn't it? It seems that people in the village got the land lord's dream last night! " The mysterious way of horse hunchback.
"Did you dream, too?" Old man Liu looked at the horse and asked.
"Yes!" Horse hunchback nods: "you say strange no wonder, this land lord how suddenly appeared!"
Liu Laohan slapped his pipe twice, but he was worried about it. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.In the next day, the whole Huangjia village was talking about the land lord's revelation.
At the same time, there are many people who don't have incense money in their families who will go to town together to buy Incense money.
There is a shabby mansion in the special space connecting the Tudi temple.
There is a little old man in the inner wall of the mansion who is similar to the land by seven or eight points. However, his face is full of cracks at the moment. However, with a stream of incense and fire pouring into this special space, and being absorbed by him, the cracks on his body are gradually shrinking.
An hour later.
The little old man stood up and murmured to himself, "this incense and fire only made me repair one percent of my body. It's not enough. It seems that I have to ask these villagers to dream. It's better to let them kill some livestock to sacrifice my God!"
That night.
The villagers of Huangjia village were once again entrusted by the land lord, and all the villagers were summoned to the threshing ground in the village.
The land lord first praised those who worshiped him, then criticized those who did not come to worship him, and said that he would punish the villagers who did not respect him.
Later, he asked the villagers to kill three cows, five sheep and twelve chickens and ducks to worship him tomorrow.
Therefore, the next morning, Huangjia village became lively again.
Before dawn, all the people rushed to the Tudi temple. Those who didn't have incense at home even formed a team to buy Incense in the town.
"Eh, what's wrong with you, Huang Sanwa? Are you ill?"
Liu Laohan is also going to worship the Lord of the land. As soon as he went out of the door, he saw Huang Sanwa, a neighbor, standing on a tree with her hand, breathing heavily.
Huang Sanwa was born 1.85 meters tall. She was strong and strong. She was good at farming. She was also a veteran. When she returned from the army two years ago, she married a girl from her village to be her mother-in-law. Now she is the father of the two children.
But different from the past, today's Huang Sanwa looks very weak, and she walks unsteadily.
"The land lord blamed me for not worshiping him and punished me!"
Huang Sanwa said weakly that he had been entrusted with a dream the night before yesterday, but he didn't take him seriously when he was a soldier. He even stopped his daughter-in-law from going to sacrifice.
No, last night, the land lord asked for a dream and criticized him. When he woke up in the morning, he felt powerless. Even his daughter-in-law was sick and still lying in bed.
Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he couldn't help but believe it. So he planned to borrow some incense from his neighbor's house to worship the Lord of the land.
When old Liu heard this, he was shocked. Last night, when he was dreaming, it seemed that Huang Sanwa had been criticized by the land lord. Did Huang Sanwa look like the land lord?
