"This is the fish girl." The old village chief pointed to the priest at the door of his house and smiled. "Isn't there a pool behind our village? There is a legend that there is a fish girl living in this water, who can help people survive the famine."

The old village head was very frank and spoke quite piously.

Lu Cheng: "Is it a unique legend in Zhuangzi?"

"Yes, it's not only in our village, there are no pools in other places." The old village chief was a little proud, "Our village is a good place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and this pool is more spiritual, with clear and sweet water, and it is related to the residence of a goddess. .”

Ban Gu looked at the fish girl hanging at the gate of the village head. You were carved out of wood. It looked like a fishwife, but it was a PS version. The fish body was fresh and the female body was beautiful. The Zombie Fish Zombie Girl is a ten-level beauty: "Then have you seen the Fish Girl? Help you survive the disaster year?"

The old village chief was taken aback, his old face was a bit uneasy, this young man was very good-looking, he spoke like he was drawing a knife, and asked straight to his face: "This is the saying left by the ancestors, it is said that it has been thousands of years, can this be preserved?" It has been going on for thousands of years, so there must be a reason for it.”

Lu Cheng asked: "Yu's old house also enshrines the fish girl?"

The old village head was taken aback again: "I really didn't notice when you said that, they don't live in the village, and the houses are all empty, so they invited people from the village to dust off the dust every now and then, and opened the door. The window is full of vitality. Maybe there is no offering, someone needs to offer a spirit offering, and someone has to offer incense sticks on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year." After he answered, he asked in confusion, "Why do you ask this?"

Lu Cheng smiled: "Ask casually." He casually said, "I haven't seen a fish girl at home before, so I'm a little curious."

The corner of the old village chief's mouth twitched slightly: "Our Zhuangzi is not an old feudal system. We can believe in anything. But the people in the Zhuangzi believe in this." The implication is that they can't control what the Yu family believes, and they don't dare to control it.

Ban Gu took a look at the old village head. He didn't like this old man very much. It should be said that he didn't like the whole village. From the time they came in and met the old village head, all the way over, those who were hiding and sneaking around Looking at their villagers, everyone seemed to be watching him.And the old locust tree, he also felt uncomfortable.

The old village chief was still rambling on: "There are no natural or man-made disasters now, but you still have to believe it. It's really bad. What's the use of burning incense temporarily?"

Lu Cheng asked: "Is the fish girl effective?"

The old village chief stopped talking immediately, and it took a long time before he said: "It is effective when things happen. There is nothing wrong in our village, and life is good, and the gods in the water are not tired." He didn't want to say more on this topic , Shouting loudly, "Old woman, come out, the guests are here."

In the yard, a clean-dressed and plump old lady came out with a smile, holding a half-feathered chicken in one hand: "Come in, come in, my chicken has just been half-killed, it's dirty, it's all dirty. I’m sorry to see you. Hurry up, come in and sit down and try our own fried tea. For dinner, I’ll stew a chicken and a fish. The chicken is a free-range chicken raised at home. No fishy smell."

Lu Cheng hurriedly said, "It's troublesome."

"No trouble, no trouble." The old lady was very enthusiastic, "Our place is good, but it's a bit out of the way, and it's rare to see outsiders."

The old village chief La Lucheng and Ban Gu sat down in the yard, made tea, and felt a little emotional: "Oh, the young people have gone outside, like me and my two sons have settled down outside, and it is difficult to come back all year round. .My old lady thinks of her grandson when she sees you young people."

"Did the Yu family invest in property here?" Lu Cheng asked.

"That's right." The old village chief pointed his finger, "Our village is in a mountain depression, what can we do? Besides, we all pay attention to green water and green mountains now. The Yu family also said that we must protect the environment so that it is not easy to destroy it. Yes. My grandson said it’s a farmhouse, isn’t that farting? The mountains are so far away, who wants to drive here.”

The village head's wife sat there killing chickens and laughing: "What is there to complain about these days? Are there any big entrepreneurs in other villages? No, but our village has one. Entrepreneurs from other places At most, it would be a great merit to build a road for the village, but the Yu family has built a house for each of our households, and also brought decorations."

The old village head nodded: "A good man will be rewarded with good things."

Lu Cheng still smiled, seeing if Ban Gu didn't like tea, he drank it for him.He looked at it coldly, and the Yu family's feedback to Zhuangzili was a bit too generous: "The Yu family has a deep affection for my hometown."

"No." The old village head laughed straight, "I just don't come to the village often. In the past two years, Quan Zhuangzi wanted to treat Yu's family to dinner or something, but unfortunately I couldn't see anyone."

The Yu family seldom returns to Kangzhuang, and it is obvious that they are somewhat attached to this place. There seems to be a lot of contradictions in what the Yu family does: "Has the old village chief met Mr. Yu?"

The old village head was a little dazed, thought for a long time, and then said: "I don't think I've seen it before. Mr. Yu has been to the village, and their children have been here two years ago, and Mr. Yu...it seems that he has never been. However, At my age, I can't remember things well, Mr. Yu is older than my peers, when he was young, the world was still not peaceful, and it's normal if he hasn't come back."

"So, Mr. Yu is not from Kangzhuang?"

"..." The old village chief seemed to be in a mess about family, and the more he talked, the more he talked, only vaguely saying that as long as he could remember, there had been Yu's family in Zhuangzi, and the descendants of Yu's family were all floating outside.

The wife of the village head is open-minded, and she kills the fish: "No matter what you say, the roots are in Kangzhuang, otherwise, you won't build roads and houses for the village. No matter how rich you are, the money will be gone. Sprinkle it on a stranger?"

Lu Cheng nodded in agreement: "Auntie is right."

The wife of the village head killed the chicken and fish, got up and went to the kitchen: "Sit down, sit down, if you get tired of sitting, let the old man lead you around the village and stay overnight. Don't worry, our quilts are all new. Washed and dried, it is clean. Sleep overnight, and then go to the mountains tomorrow, there are waterfalls and mountain streams, and you like to see these in the city."

"It's too troublesome." Lu Cheng said.

"No trouble, no trouble at all, it's rare to be lively. Besides, you are the guests of Yu's family, so no trouble is too much." The wife of the village head was happy, and after she finished speaking, she strode towards the kitchen.

Lu Cheng said gently but could not refuse: "Let's go around by ourselves, so we won't bother the village chief."

The old village head wanted to say something, but he couldn't say no to Lu Cheng's smiling and indifferent face. The young man looked at the gentle man, but he had the aura of saying nothing, making people afraid to look into his eyes.

"Then be careful. The Zhuanxu Temple is in the mountain, and it's hard for outsiders to find it. I'll take you there tomorrow."

Lu Cheng casually agreed, and dragged the sullen Ban Gu out of the courtyard of the old village chief's house.

Ban Gu has barbs all over his body, the houses in Kangzhuang are very new, and those who stay in Kangzhuang are all old people. They wear old clothes, some of them wear double-breasted clothes, comb their hair in a bun, and they are old-fashioned; Young people who don't want to go out to work hard, are lazy in the village, without any energy, smoking a cigarette, swiping their mobile phones, lifeless.In the whole Kangzhuang, it seems that only the houses are new and smoky, but the living people are half dead, no, there is also the ancient locust tree that has lived for an unknown amount of time.

In a place, what should be alive is not alive, and what should be dead seems to be alive.

Ban Gu felt that there was disharmony and incompatibility everywhere.

Lu Cheng was very worried about Ban Gu's state, so he stood in front of Ban Gu and slightly bent down: "Come up."

Ban Gu blinked, and automatically lay on Lu Cheng's back, resting his head on Lu Cheng's shoulder, a little aggrieved, a little coquettish: "Lu Cheng, I don't like this place."

"Yeah." Lu Cheng carried him on his back, picked a small path up the mountain, stood at a slightly higher place to put down his class, looked down at Kangzhuang, and then frowned slightly, the layout of this place was like an altar.Scenes from the dream appeared in front of his eyes one after another. The dying Ban Gu was lying quietly in the center of the altar, surrounded by countless eyes eager to go crazy. As a living sacrifice, as long as they get his flesh and blood, they can get a new life.

"Ban Gu." Lu Cheng sighed, covered Ban Gu's eyes lightly with his hand, and kissed him lightly on the top of the head.

"This place seems to be..." A little familiar.Ban Gu grabbed Lu Cheng's wrist, trying to pull his hand down a little bit, but before he could pull it off, he touched the back of Lu Cheng's hand lustfully, a little bit reluctant.

The air suddenly became tender, Lu Cheng's heart softened into a puddle of hands, and he was about to bring someone into his arms, but Ban Gu even followed the trend. If he doesn't kiss now, when will he wait?

Then, Ban Gu felt that the surrounding atmosphere was not right, and immediately stood up straight from Lu Cheng's arms, staring murderously at the group of people climbing up the mountain, with malice in his eyes, and wanted to blow them into pieces of paper and blow them away.

Lu Cheng held Ban Gu's hand that was about to move, and looked at the person: "What a coincidence?"

Ju Yin and Professor Wan were out of breath: "I haven't mentioned you yet. If I knew you would come here, we would just be together. We heard from the staff in the rest area that two handsome guys came here to play together, so we guessed it was you."

"What are you doing here?" Ban Gu asked fiercely.

"Oh, come to see the waterfall. I heard that the waterfall here is very good." Ju Yin said.

Professor Wan said: "I said there is a Zhuanxu temple here, let's take a look."

Ju Yin, the supervisor, was furious, and laughed: "Don't be angry, Xiao Gu, I don't want to be this light bulb either. Isn't it a coincidence. Let's go together."

It's all here, what can happen if we don't get together, there are ghosts and ghosts, they will always show their feet.

Professor Wan brought a DSLR, took a few photos from time to time, and said while taking pictures: "Teacher Ju came here to collect wind before, please show me the way."

Lu Cheng glanced at Ju Yin.

Ju Yin smiled: "It's been a long time, I may not know how to get there yet."

Professor Wan listened with distaste, and smiled: "Teacher Ju wrote about this Zhuanxu Temple in another book, so I wanted to come and see the real thing."

Ju Yin went to the front and led the way: "I don't know if I'm still here." He walked a few steps before remembering, "Boss Lu and Xiao Gu are going to have a look together?"

"Okay." Lu Cheng also wanted to know what was hidden in this Zhuanxu Temple, he didn't believe in Ju Yin's chance encounter at all.
