Huangjia Village is a remote and ordinary mountain village in Northwest Prefecture.
This village is surrounded by mountains, and the mountain roads are steep, making it difficult even for motorcycles to pass. Therefore, there is no electricity in the village until now.
There are more than 120 households in the whole village, with a population of around 500.
Different from other villages, because the land here is fertile, as long as you work a little harder, you will not have to worry about food and drink. In addition, the young people in the village are basically uneducated, so most of the young people stay in the village and do not go out to work.
Therefore, this is a completely self-sufficient village. Only to buy some necessities, the villagers will walk several hours of mountain roads to market towns dozens of miles away.
There is a dilapidated earth temple at the end of the village.
Due to years of disrepair, weeds have grown all around the Earth Temple, and the statues of Earth Gods are also rusty. There are even cracks on both arms, as if they may fall off at any time.
But just as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, the tattered statue of the earth suddenly bloomed with a circle of green light. The two arms full of cracks healed automatically. Even the rusty statue took on a new look, as if it had been remade. Fair paint.
At the same time, a pair of eyes of the earth statue also emitted a faint green light, which looked vaguely strange.
After a while, the green light dissipated and the land returned to normal.
As night fell, Old Man Liu, who had returned from hoeing, passed by the Earth Temple with his hoe in hand and a pipe in his mouth. When he inadvertently glanced at the Earth Statue, he couldn't help but be startled.
He passed by here almost every day. He didn't know what the land looked like. But when he went up the mountain to weed in the afternoon, the land statue still looked in tatters. How come it had only been a few hours before the land statue looked like this? A new look
Just as Old Man Liu was staring at the Earth God Statue curiously, a faint brilliance suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Earth God Statue, but this faint brilliance disappeared in a flash.
But the next moment, Old Man Liu had an idea, picked up a hoe, and began to pick up weeds around the Tutu Temple.
After spending more than ten minutes, Old Man Liu hoeed the weeds around the Tutu Temple, but he was suddenly shocked. What happened to me? Why did we suddenly hoe the weeds
Although he was a little confused, Old Man Liu didn't think much, picked up the hoe again and headed home.
Because there is no electricity in the village yet, everyone in the village goes to bed early.
At nine o'clock in the evening, nightlife in big cities has just begun, but in Huangjia Village, all the villagers have already fallen asleep.
They fell asleep but did not notice that the disciple's statue at the head of the village was emitting a faint green light, covering the entire village.
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, the sky was still gray. When Old Man Liu woke up, he found that the old woman who shared the same bed with him had disappeared. He guessed that she had gotten up to make breakfast.
So I got dressed and came to the kitchen with a pipe in my mouth, only to find that the kitchen was deserted and there was no fire at all.
"Old woman! Where did you go so early in the morning?"
Old man Liu shouted at the top of his lungs.
"You old man is calling for mourning so early in the morning!" The old woman's voice came from outside the yard, and then she saw her own old woman walking in from outside.
"Where have you been this early in the morning?" Old Man Liu asked.
"The Land Master gave me a dream last night. I went to burn incense and burn paper!" the old woman said as she walked to the kitchen.
"Did Lord Tu Tu really entrust you with a dream?" Old Man Liu looked strange, because he also dreamed of Lord Tu Tu last night.
"This is still false. Not only did I dream about it, but the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family and the old woman Zhang of the Zhang family also dreamed about it. And...!" The old woman said a long list of names in one breath.
Hearing that so many people were entrusted with dreams by the Lord of the Earth, Old Man Liu looked even weirder and thought to himself: Could it be that the Lord of the Earth really showed up
Thinking of this, he strode outside.
"Where are you going?" shouted the old woman.
"I'll go to the Earth Temple to have a look!"
Old Man Liu replied, and the pace at his feet quickened. Soon, he arrived at the head of the village and found that the Tu Tu Temple, which used to be extremely cold, seemed extremely hot, and he could smell the smell of incense from a distance.
"Old man Liu, are you coming to burn incense too?"
An old man in his sixties, with a thin appearance and a bit of a hunchback asked, grinning with big yellow teeth.
"I heard that the Earth God has appeared. Come and have a look!" Old Man Liu said.
"Isn't that true? I heard that everyone in the village received a dream from the Land Lord last night!" Ma Hunchback said mysteriously.
"Did you dream about it too?" Old Man Liu asked, looking at the horse's hunchback.
"Yes!" Ma Hunchback nodded: "Do you think it's strange or not, why did this Earth God suddenly appear?"
Old man Liu clicked his pipe twice, but he felt a little worried in his heart. He didn't know whether the appearance of the earth god was a good thing or a bad thing.
In the next day, the entire Huangjia Village was talking about the appearance of the Earth God.
At the same time, many people who did not have incense and paper money at home met together to go to town to buy paper money and incense.
In a special space connected to the Earth Temple, there is a shabby mansion.
Sitting cross-legged in the mansion was a short old man who looked very similar to the Earth Statue. However, at this moment, his face and body were covered with cracks. But as waves of incense continued to pour into this special space, After being absorbed by him again, the cracks on his body gradually shrank.
An hour later.
The short old man stood up and murmured to himself: "This little incense smell only restored one percent of my body, which is far from enough. It seems that I have to ask these villagers to entrust my dream to them. It's best to be there." Let them slaughter some animals to worship my god!"
That night.
The villagers of Huangjia Village were once again given a dream by the Land Master, and all the villagers were summoned to the threshing floor in the village.
The Land Lord first praised those who worshiped him, and then criticized those who did not come to worship him, and said that he would punish the villagers who disrespected him.
Then he made a request, hoping that the villagers would slaughter three cows, five sheep, and 12 chickens and ducks each tomorrow to worship him.
Therefore, the next morning, Huangjia Village became lively again.
Before dawn, everyone rushed to the Tutu Temple. Those who did not have incense at home even formed a team to go to the town to buy incense.
"Hey, Huang Sanwa'er, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Old man Liu was also going to pay homage to the Lord of the Land. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw his neighbor Huang Sanwa leaning on a tree with his hands to catch his breath.
Huang Sanwa is 1.85 meters tall, strong, good at farm work, and a veteran. After returning from the army two years ago, he married a girl from the village as his mother-in-law. Now he is the father of two children. .
But what is different from the past is that Huang Sanwa today looks very weak and staggers when walking.
"The Earth God blamed me for not worshiping him and punished me!"
Huang Sanwa said weakly that he was also entrusted with a dream the night before yesterday, but as a soldier, he didn't take it seriously. Even when his wife at home wanted to worship, he stopped her.
No, last night the landowner had a dream and criticized him. Then when he woke up in the morning, he felt weak all over. Even his wife was sick and was still lying in bed.
Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he couldn't help but not believe it, so he planned to borrow some incense from his neighbor's house to worship the Earth God.
When Old Man Liu heard this, he was shocked. When he had a dream last night, Huang Sanwa seemed to have been criticized by Tu Tu Ye. Could it be that Huang San Wa's appearance was made by Tu Tu Ye
