I am Wu Dalang, starting with Pan Jinlian

Gu Shuang pushed the wheelchair and took Wu Fei to walk around all the main roads in the village.The environment here is very clean, probably because the bottom of the valley is relatively cold and humid, and there is very little dust.

The more Wu Fei looked at it, the more he felt that this was a place outside the world, not like any fairyland in the world.If it is placed in the 21st century, this kind of place is a key protection object, the kind of top-level scenic spot.

There is only one thing, Wu Fei is a little puzzled, although this village is not small, but compared to Niujia Village, it is at the bottom of a cliff after all, the land is not big, and the village is not too big.But it’s such a small village, Gu Shuang took him for a long time, but he didn’t meet any other villagers on the road, and didn’t see anyone else. If it wasn’t for the pleasant scenery around him, Wu Fei would suspect that he was It's not like entering a ghost village.

"Shuang'er, why haven't I seen anyone else after walking around for so long? Have all the people in the village gone out?" This feeling was so weird that Wu Fei couldn't help asking.

Gu Shuang said with a smile, "Oh, the villagers should be gathering at the Tianling Terrace in the back mountain at this time."

"Tianlingtai? Gathering? What do you mean?" Wu Fei became interested as soon as he heard the name. He always felt that the village of healers has been retreating here all year round, and they are like some extraordinary people.

Gu Shuang changed the direction of the wheelchair and was about to push it out. She took two steps and stopped suddenly: "Tsk, look at my memory, I forgot...Brother Fei, I originally wanted to take you directly Check it out, but..."

Seeing Gu Shuang's embarrassed expression, Wu Fei immediately understood: "But I'm not from the village, so I can't go, right?"

Gu Shuang said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Fei, this is a village rule and cannot be broken."

Wu Fei nodded: "There's no need to apologize, I can't thank you for saving your life and taking you in, so you can tell me a story, this is just a story, shouldn't it be a bad rule?"

Gu Shuang smiled generously, revealing two cute little canine teeth: "Of course no problem! In fact, the Lingtai is a big stone platform in the back mountain. It is natural. It is said that it is a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gathered. It was discovered and passed down by the ancestors. The precious place that came down. Every three months, that is, one season, all the villagers will gather there on this day, take the best medicinal materials or elixirs they have, and sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth. The rules left behind are used to welcome the next quarter. In fact, we do not distinguish between seasons here, only some subtle changes, maybe this is also timing, and it should be synchronized with the outside world."

Wu Fei sighed secretly, advanced.

Gu Shuang continued: "The herbs or elixirs you donate must be the best available. If you hide them in front of the gods of heaven and earth, if you are not sincere, your life will be shortened..."

Wu Fei nodded and didn't refute anything. This is just superstition.But this kind of rule is also the wisdom of the ancestors. People should live in struggle and encouragement, and offer the best to the gods to pray for longevity. The grand events of this season have become the goal of people's efforts.Otherwise, living in such a carefree place with beautiful mountains and rivers all day long, there is no pursuit in life, and it is easy to be depressed and boring.A rule is set, and people have the motivation to live when they have pursuit.

Wu Fei chuckled lightly, not telling the truth.

Gu Shuang took Wu Fei around the village, looked at the sky, thought it was time for dinner, and pushed Wu Fei back into the yard.

Wu Fei suddenly thought: "Hey, don't you usually go out of the village except for this kind of sacrificial activities?"

Although I know that in ancient times, a self-sufficient life was normal. There are farmlands and livestock, mountains and water, no worries about food and clothing, and you can live well without going out.But it is not realistic to not see the outside world at all for so many years.

Gu Shuang pushed Wu Fei to the door of the house, and it happened that Gu Changhua had set up the dining table in the yard: "Come on, it just so happens that you are all back, so I don't have to go out to find and eat. Come on, Wu Fei, try this Does the food suit your taste?"

Wu Fei took the job with both hands: "Thank you, Uncle Gu."

Gu Changhua served Gu Shuang a meal, and said, "You're welcome, treat it like your own home."

Gu Shuang ate a few mouthfuls of food first, padded her stomach, and after coaxing the hungry bugs, she slowly put down the bowl and chatted.

"Father, today's meal is not bad, the braised pork is delicious!"

Gu Changhua smiled and said, "Eat more if it tastes good. Eat slowly, be careful, don't choke."

Gu Shuang took a bite, chew it, chew it down, remembering the question Wu Fei asked just now at the door, wiped his mouth and explained: "Brother Fei, didn't you ask me just now, did our village want Going out of the village? In fact, there is a fixed time to go out. Girls have to go out alone for medical treatment when they are 15 years old, and boys are 13 years old. Go out for a year of travel, and come back is a coming-of-age ceremony.”

Wu Fei put down his bowl and chopsticks, and listened carefully with respect: "Aren't you afraid of encountering bad guys on the road when you go out alone?"

Gu Changhua answered and nodded: "I've been in this paradise all this time, and I've had enough of warmth and protection. These children will have to suffer a little when they first go out, but this is the purpose of their experience. If they don't experience the warmth and coldness of the world at all, If you don’t feel good and evil, you won’t grow if you stick to this place. In our village, the rules set by our ancestors have always been reasonable.”

Gu Shuang said with a smile: "I was a little nervous when I left the village at first, but I have eighteen martial arts skills, acupuncture and moxibustion, can use anesthetics and poisons, and know all the vital points and weaknesses of the human body. Ordinary people still can't do anything about it Mine. What's more, I'm so smart that bad guys can't catch me."

Gu Changhua looked at Gu Shuang with a smile, and nodded: "Well, Shuang'er is smart. I was a little worried at first, but seeing her come back safely, I feel relieved. But..." As he spoke, his tone changed, and the atmosphere suddenly changed. It gets a little awkward and heavy.

Wu Fei: "? There is still an accident, right?"

Gu Shuang lowered her head, sad: "Well, if my sister went out the year before last and never came back..."

Gu Changhua sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's all over..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wu Fei wanted to change the subject, and suddenly had an idea: "Hey, by the way, there are cliffs all around here. I walked around today, but I didn't find a direct way to the outside. Then you How did you get out?"

Speaking of this topic, Gu Shuang smiled mysteriously, put another piece of braised pork in his mouth, and said slowly after eating, "This is another big secret in our village."
