Chapter 70 The wolf is here

After a while, an uncontainable smell rises majestically.

Jiang Li pinched her nose: it was feces.

The villagers on the mountainside seemed to have completed their task. They picked up torches and buckets one after another, lined up in two lines, turned their heads and walked back as they had come here.

Huashu hurriedly pulled Jiang Li to move to one side, trying to stay away from the road that the villagers had to pass.

Fortunately, the villagers did not change to another path, they returned the same way.Jiang Lihuashu carefully dodged, watching the villagers lower their heads silently, holding torches and buckets, like a sleepwalking team. No one said a word or even made a sound from the beginning to the end.They gradually turned over the hill and headed down the opposite hill.It quickly disappeared from sight.

Huashu and Jiang Li glanced at each other.

The two watched the road carefully, walked all the way down, and then came to the small house halfway up the mountain.

Until recently, the rancid smell can already make people's brain hurt.

Jiang Li glanced at the wall of the hut. From a distance, it looked like a white wall. In fact, from a closer look, the white wall was not very white. Some places that were not wet with feces also showed some yellow stains.Jiang Li turned around again, and all the walls of the hut were covered with filth, and no one was spared.

There is a tall gate in front of the house, which was not visible before. The tall gate is facing the direction of the mountain. There should have been two gates, but I don’t know if it was man-made, and one of them is missing.Another flash half hidden.

There was also filth running over the door.

And under the door, there is a knee-high threshold, painted in red paint, but it looks a little old, and the red is a little mottled.But in this dark night, looking down, there is a sense of majesty and brilliance.

Even families from the ancient times rarely had such a high threshold.

Looking at the strange height of the threshold, Jiang Li always felt that it was about to stop something.

For example, what are you holding back?Or stop something? !

Jiang Li stood outside the threshold and looked up, because there were no windows in the hut, and the direction of the door was facing away from the moonlight, so there was no light inside.As far as the line of sight is concerned, there is a black hole.

Like a huge gaping mouth, standing here silently.

At this time, Huashu raised his hand, and used one end of the pole to push against the half-open door, and gently pushed the door open.

As the door leaf moved in, there was only a "squeak", and the sound of the rusty door hinge came to the ears clearly.

Jiang Li swallowed, "Yes, do you want to go in?" He looked at the flowers and trees.

Huashu glanced at the threshold, "Since it's here..." Huashu took out the lighter and snapped it open, a cluster of orange-red flames burst out. Huashu held the flame, stretched his arms, and slowly Slowly crossed the threshold and looked inward for an arm's length.

The nearby area was illuminated by the flames, the gray concrete floor, some filth was splashed in the threshold, and there was nothing within the range of visibility.

Huashu turned her head, and handed one end of the pole to Jiang Li's hand, "I'll go in for a distance of one pole to see, you hold on to this end, and if something happens, pull me out immediately."

Jiang Li nodded, Huashu turned on the lighter again, held the flame, and walked in from the side of the half door that was just opened.The ground on this side was not splashed with rotten water because it was blocked by a half door.

Huashu's feet hung on the ground first, and he tapped the ground with his toes to make sure that the bottom was solid, before stepping in with both feet.

He walked in step by step, Jiang Li nervously grabbed one end of the pole, watched the flower tree reach the end of the pole, held the pole with one hand, and moved the light source up and down with the other hand to check the scene inside.

From the outside, the house is not very big, so the distance between Huashu and Huashu is enough.

Within the visible range, the room was very empty, and there was nothing on the left and right, but at the end of the light in front, two round hay mats appeared on the ground, and in front of the straw mats, a dusty table appeared.The table is not fully photographed, but there is a small incense burner on top of the table. Judging from the shape, the table looks like an altar.

Jiang Li grabbed the pole, Huashu withdrew, and the two stood at the door to discuss.

"Could this be a temple?" Jiang Li said, "Look, there are futons, altars, and incense burners."

Huashu thought for a while: "It may also be an ancestral hall."

"That table looks familiar." Jiang Li frowned and thought for a while, "It's like the table used to worship when choosing a bride."

"The table that was enshrined has just been used, and it is as clean as a mirror, but this table is covered with dust, so it should be different." Hua Shu shook his head.

"I don't know what is enshrined in it."

Huashu raised her eyebrows: "Ancestor Orion God?"

"If it's their god, how can they throw dung?"

"The ancestral hall can't throw dung!"

"The villagers are so disgusted, I'm suddenly very interested." Jiang Li raised her head, "Shall we go in and have a look?"

"Okay, anyway, I just went in and didn't encounter any danger."

After the two agreed, they grabbed the same pole and stepped in one after the other.

The room was indeed small, and the two of them held the lighter and walked a dozen steps into it, and they came to the end.

Not all the altars I saw just now, there is a candlestick in the back of the altar, the candlestick has a unique shape, and three unused candles are inserted on it.Behind the altar stands a tall statue.

Huashu lit the three candles on the table with a lighter, and the room was brightened up immediately.

Jiang Li looked up and looked at the statue. The statue was made of wood, and the carving was a bit rough, but from the shape, it didn't seem like a god, but like an ordinary hunter.Orion is wearing a vest, trouser legs rolled up, straw sandals on his feet, a bow and arrow in his hand, and a quiver on his back.

Huashu looked at the statue: "Ancestor Orion God?"

Jiang Li nodded: "It seems so." Jiang Li concluded: "This is a temple."

Huashu touched her chin: "I just don't understand why they want to throw dung on their ancestors. They were so awe-inspiring when choosing a bride, but now they themselves are blasphemers." Huashu snorted, "They don't need to be in awe of them ancestors? Why?"

Jiang Li shook her head and looked to the left and right.

The house was very empty, and there was nothing in the room except the statue altar, the incense burner, the candlestick, and two futons.

But looking at the walls on both sides, I felt something.

Jiang Li leaned over with the candlestick and found some murals carved on the wall.

The murals were not painted, but just blackened grooves carved on the stone wall, so it was not easy to find at first.

The murals are very simple, and the engraved content is also very simple and not vivid. At first glance, it looks like children's graffiti.

But the content is very clear.

Jiang Li held up the candle and looked at it from the top pair.

At first it was a sun, the light was drawn very long, Jiang Li understood that the sun was very big.

Translated in turn, it is: The sun is shining brightly, and a man wearing a vest and holding a bow and arrow is walking on the road. He is dressed in rags, sweating profusely, eats his hunger by hunting, and cooks the food with fire.Just when he was about to die, he came to a place, found a source of water, and established a village here.

Jiang Li temporarily called this person Orion.

The hunters built neat houses for the villagers to live in, built sheep pens to raise sheep, and cultivated land to produce food.But at night, the wolves came outside the sheepfold, drooling and coveting, and the Orion led the villagers to beat the wolves away, causing countless deaths and injuries to the wolves.

Looking at the countless wolf corpses lying on the mural, Jiang Li straightened her waist and reached the end of the mural here. Jiang Li held up the candlestick, walked around the altar of the statue, and continued to look at the wall on the other side.

Although many wolves died, the leading wolf (because the wolf was the tallest in the painting) did not die. It bit a villager before escaping.

Then, the villager fell ill.One night, his body changed and he became a wolf.

The villagers who had turned into wolves began to attack the rest of the village. The Orion shot the wolf to death with a bow and arrow. The wolf turned back into a human, kicked its legs and died.

In order to prevent future troubles, Orion led the villagers to find the wolf den and killed all the wolves.

In order to thank Orion, the villagers built a temple for him and burned incense to worship him.As a result, Orion became a belief in their village.

At this point, the mural is over.

Jiang Li straightened up and looked at the dust accumulated on the Buddha statue on the ground. This small temple looked very similar to the small temple in the mural, and it was probably the same one.

However, looking at the accumulated dust, it is estimated that the incense has been cut off for a long time.

Jiang Li looked at the statue of Orion thoughtfully.Orion killed the wolf, and the villagers should have worshiped Orion, but now they pour dung on Orion's small temple. If we understand it simply, can this behavior be understood as disgust or hatred?Just like those two village girls hated Xiao Zhu for stealing his sweetheart and throwing dung at Xiao Zhu.Is it a kind of vent? !

And why should they hate the hunter who killed the wolf?

enemy?hostility? !

"These villagers are probably wolves." Jiang Li speculated boldly.

Huashu stared at the side.

Jiang Li squeezed her chin. The villagers could have demolished the temple, or poured the dung directly on the statue, but why did they only pour it on the outer wall? "The villagers hate this place, but they also hate it."

But why taboo?Could it be here... "Is there something they're afraid of?"

Huashu thought for a while, "Judging from the stains on the outer wall, they have been pouring feces into the temple for more than a day or two, but the duration should not be long, because the stains on the outer wall have not yet penetrated, and are slightly floating on the surface. , indicating that the number of days they splashed is not many, and as for why they did such behaviors, it reminded me of an example."

Jiang Li raised her eyes: "Tell me."

Huashu said: "In folklore, there are common ways to exorcise evil spirits. For example, when encountering dirty things, in order to remove the filthy things, you usually have to splash black dog blood or the like. Their behavior is quite similar, and we can think about it the other way around. "

"You mean," Jiang Li said, "what do they want to break?"

"Yeah." Huashu nodded, pointed to the threshold and said, "They don't come in to splash, don't they, can't they come in?"

"And here, is there something they want?"

"What is that?!" Jiang Li tapped his chin, his eyes sparkling.

At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind outside the door, and the wind rolled the leaves and slapped them on the wooden door. Jiang Li inexplicably got goosebumps all over his body, and he quickly grabbed the flower tree.

At this time, a slow but familiar voice came from outside the door: "Oh, there are guests!"

Jiang Lihuashu was standing close to the door at this time, but it was on the side of the door. The voice outside the door came in, but they couldn't see the people outside the door.

Jiang Li looked at the burning candle in her hand, and it was too late to blow out the candle at this time.People outside the door have seen the light inside.
