Daily life in the era of Reiki

Chapter 11 Small Town

Miao Sheng... Doesn't anyone suspect that the inheritance is a lie?

Eh, no.Miao Sheng suddenly thought that in the past, the spiritual energy was exhausted, and it was normal for no one to get the inheritance.

But now it has been No. 12 years since the spiritual energy has been revived, how come no one has passed it on?

Is it because the aura is too thin, or... is it really a lie.

This was a topic that couldn't be continued. Everyone kept their mouths shut and hurried on their way. After turning around a small hill, the town at the bottom of the hill could already be seen.

Standing on the hillside, overlooking the whole town through the woods,

The closest to the mountain forest is a school, which uses the old house left by the garrison in the past. The army green on the outer wall is mottled. Although it looks a bit old, the square and solid building brings people full sense of security.

Further on, there are continuous stretches of wooden stilted buildings with ethnic characteristics.

The pillars below the stilted building are all made of black stones, and the log-colored building is also covered with black tiles, which has a simple and charming appearance.

In the town, there are also vertical and horizontal streams that bend and snake, flowing around the stilted buildings like jade belts.

There are stone bridges of various shapes on the water, and there are bamboo rafts and small wooden boats shaking in the water and sky.

No wonder the town is called Xishui Town. It is an ancient water town that has not been discovered.

Miao Sheng lay on Cousin Timing's back, his eyes were full of the beautiful scenery of the water town, and he felt like he was walking into a picture scroll.

"It's so beautiful." Miao Sheng praised.

He had only seen a few ancient towns built near the water in videos before, but those ancient towns were beautiful, but it was not difficult to see traces of commercialization.

The Xishui Town in front of me does not have a trace of carving, it is completely original, and there are some old things in the simplicity, but it looks more real and natural.

"Where is it beautiful? It's shabby and damp." The wizard mother-in-law doesn't like the excessive moisture in the town, but the dry and clean air on the mountain is what she likes more.

"It's really not suitable for long-term living, unless you are a local who has been used to it since childhood. It's okay for outsiders to come and play for a few days, but the joints will not be able to bear it if you stay for a long time." Grandma Zhang also agreed with the wizard.

When she was young, she had worked as a kitchen assistant in the Yingbin restaurant in the town for more than ten years, but she couldn't bear the tide, so she ran back to the village to farm.

"Oh." Miao Sheng learned to paint and practice calligraphy in the past, and it is inevitable that there will be some unrealistic romanticism in his character. It is a pity that his romanticism just rose, but he was beaten back by two pragmatic elders, and his voice was a little languid. Withered.

Tian Ding felt that his little cousin's fleshy arms were drooping, and comforted him in a funny way, "When you grow up, you will also come to the town to go to school. At that time, you can't play whatever you want. It's only half an hour on the mountain road. It's nothing to a man."

That's right, Miao Sheng immediately became energetic. Xishui Town and Xitu Village are only the distance between the top and bottom of the mountain. When he grows up, he can come and play whenever he wants.

While talking, they had already walked into the small town. The roads in the town are black stone roads. Many of the stones here seem to be black, but the soil exposed between the vegetation on the roadside is red and yellow, black red yellow green It's pretty fun to put together.

Miao Sheng took a look at the signboard as he walked past the school. It turned out to be a school integrating primary and junior high schools. Children from small towns and surrounding villages can complete the entire compulsory education here. up.

Going further is the small town street where water and land are mixed. The street is divided intermittently by the water flow. It is impossible to walk in a straight line. After walking for a while, you have to look for the stone bridge across the river. It's a long way.

The witch mother-in-law was unwilling to waste energy like this. When she came to the nearest small pier, she directly recruited Shuishang Didi, took the four of them into the boat, and rowed towards the designated direction.

The stream here is not too deep, so it can only run on a small wooden boat. Including the boatman, it can only take five people at most, otherwise it will be stranded.

Uncle Boatman is a talkative person. When he saw Miao Sheng, who looked like a doll in New Year's paintings, he praised Miao Sheng out of nowhere. He made Grandma Zhang smile, and even the witch mother-in-law looked proud.

When they arrived at the designated pier, they encountered a group of young people holding cameras as soon as they landed. Miao Sheng thought they were traveling. Unexpectedly, when a group of people saw him, they were surprised first, and then surrounded them.

The wizard mother-in-law frowned, impatient at being blocked.

Cousin Tianding and Grandma Zhang rushed forward and asked the purpose of this group of people, so that they could be sent away as soon as possible, lest the wizard get impatient and do something to them.

After inquiring, I found out that these people are college students who passed the examination in Xishui Town. They are using their summer vacation to shoot a promotional video for their hometown, so that more people can see the beauty of their hometown and promote the development of tourism in their town. .

After more than a month of hard work, the film is now finished, but they always feel that something is missing.

I just remembered this morning. It turned out that they only paid attention to taking pictures of the scenery, and did not include the people. Without the cultural atmosphere of the hometown, no matter how good the scenery is, it will be pale.

Although they realized what the problem was, it was already too late. Seeing that there were only a few days left in the holiday, they really didn't have time to shoot again.

Miao Sheng understands why they made such a mistake. Xishui Town is indeed an ancient water town with a local style, but most of the people walking around on the street are wearing simple T-shirts and cotton trousers, which do not reflect the locality at all. And national characteristics, it is normal that they will be ignored.

Seeing how cute Miao Sheng is, they wondered if they could bother the children to walk around the town wearing ethnic costumes, and then mixed and edited, I believe it would add a lot of color to the film.

Miao Sheng thought that the wizard mother-in-law would send them away, but she pointed to a stilted building not far away, telling them to go back there after filming, and then left alone, leaving the three of them with the college students.

To be honest, he was a little dumbfounded, and Grandma Zhang and Cousin Tianding were also dumbfounded. The wizard mother-in-law didn't seem like a person who would support the development of tourism in her hometown. I really didn't expect that she would agree to let Miao Sheng cooperate in the filming.

However, Miao Sheng quickly recalled that this lord wizard is a money rake, what does the town's prosperity mean?

It means that her income has increased, not to mention asking him to cooperate in making a promotional video, even if she sells him to a TV station, she will not object.

Miao Sheng was embarrassed by his conjecture, but he has no objection to making a short film. In a few years, he will not look like the new year picture doll he is now. Who will remember him, it doesn't matter.

Grandma Zhang has nothing to do with it, and her thoughts are the same. Xiao Miaosheng usually stays in the village, and it will be five or six years after he comes to the town to study. It is hard to say whether there are any videos of him on the Internet. People think Just shoot it.

So Miao Sheng changed into the newly bought ethnic costumes, sitting in a small boat to splash water, sitting in a small shop on the street eating rakes, and squatting by the stream to feed the fish with bread.

In order to make the photo look good, he also brought in a few red grass carp, scrambling for the bread crumbs he threw into the water.

The picture of the pink doll and the fish swimming in the clear stream is so bright and cute that it is unreal. Several students cheered and earned it. This promotional video will definitely explode.

After lunch at noon, Miao Sheng's siesta was also captured in the mirror, and he wandered around the town for another afternoon, until the sunset was photographed, and the dinner invitation of the students was declined, and the three of them took a boat to the place designated by the witch mother-in-law.

Her old man was calling a table of wine and food to enjoy on the veranda. When she saw the three of them coming back, she looked at Miao Sheng over the two adults. It seemed that she wanted to say something mean to him, but after watching for a long time, Miao Sheng's appearance was really good. There was no place to pick, so I had to snort coldly and ask them to come over for dinner.

During the conversation, Miao Sheng found out that half of the house on stilts built on the stream was actually bought by the wizard mother-in-law. She often came to the town to do business with people and lived for four or five days. Why didn't she have a place to stay? OK.

Miao Sheng has nothing to say, he only comes to the town a few times a year, he can't live in any hotel and B&B, if he wants to buy a house, he can buy it, why do he have to find a lame excuse.

In the next few days, cousin Tim Ding followed his mother-in-law to buy medicinal materials in the town, and grandma Zhang took Miao Sheng to wander around the town.

Most of the town's specialties are related to water, such as small wontons in fish soup, snail noodles in sour soup, fried small river prawns, and Miaosheng.

Grandma Zhang also took him to the Yingbin restaurant where she used to work to meet old friends. Miao Sheng’s arrival was unanimously welcomed by everyone. The chef even cooked the best steamed fish for him. He even licked the fish bones before giving up.

Five days later, Miao Sheng not only completed the household registration, but the wizard mother-in-law also gave him an ID card and medical insurance.

From then on, in law, Miao Sheng is the grandson of the wizard's mother-in-law, and Grandma Zhang asked him to directly call the wizard as mother-in-law without the prefix.

Knowing that Grandma Zhang was doing it for his own good, Miao Sheng obediently called her mother-in-law. The wizard didn't care what Miao Sheng called him, so he just nodded casually in agreement.

The night before leaving Xishui Town, the students who were about to return to school came to visit. They gave Miao Sheng a box of oil pastels as a gift, and told him that they had already sent their works to my hometown video contest. If they can win the award, their hometown will get a lot of attention.

Miao Sheng had a good impression of these enthusiastic students, but after seeing them off, he found Cousin Tian Ding sitting on the veranda, a little listless.

He squatted in front of his cousin, thinking about why he was suddenly upset when he was talking and laughing with the students just now.

Seeing the disappointed face of the big boy in front of him, Miao Sheng had a flash of inspiration, and said with a smirk, "Cousin, do you like any of the girls?"

"Why do you..." Miao Tianding was asked out of the blue, almost leaked, and hastily denied San Lian, "I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

"Why not, are you nineteen years old? They are about the same age as them, and they also come from a small town. There is only one school in the town. You must know them." Seeing his expression, Miao Sheng knew that he had guessed right. A little sympathy for this cousin.

"It's good for me to learn from a young age, and I don't know me at all." Seeing that Miao Sheng spoke so clearly, Miao Tianding didn't give him any room to argue, so he had to confess honestly.

"I was in the same class in elementary school. In junior high school, she was in the sprint class, and I was in the cattle herding class. People have long forgotten about me."

"Since you like her, why don't you work hard and get into the sprint class? You still don't like her deeply enough, at least she is not as important as game comics and playing crazy everywhere." Miao Sheng sneered.

If you like someone and don't work hard, you deserve to be forgotten in the back of your neck.

"What do you know? You're only old enough to know whether you like it or not?" Miao Tianding became furious, pointing at Xiaodouding in front of him and yelling.

"Why don't I know? Is there anything online?" Miao Sheng gave Miao Tianding a contemptuous look. Regardless of his young age, he has been online for more than half a year.

"It's not allowed to go online anymore, how can a two-year-old doll play online." Miao Tianding was furious, quite resentful that his little cousin has a tablet computer that can go online at such a young age.

Thinking back how long he begged for it before he got a second-hand mobile phone, and after installing a few apps, it was stuck half dead. The tablet of my little cousin was the latest model, it was so unfair.
