"Old Liu is probably doing this because he offended the mountain god." Jiang Yong waited for me to pick up the bowl, lit a cigarette and sat aside and said.
"Mountain God?" This is the second time I have heard the word "Mountain God" from Jiang Yong. Hearing this, I put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked him.
"Mountain God, we all believe in this! Since we were young, we have heard a lot of legends about mountain gods from our ancestors." Jiang Yong glanced at Liu Jianjun who was sleeping, and smacked his mouth twice. Smoke said.
"Can you tell me more specifically?" I was so choked by Jiang Yong's pipe and pot, I took out a pack of Yellow Crane Tower from my pocket and handed it to him.
"When I was a child, my grandma once told me that the mountain gods are responsive to requests, and at the same time they are also vengeful. When I was young, I was poor, and my family raised two chickens. The whole family counted on the eggs laid by those two chickens for two dollars. Sometimes I can wear new clothes. But that year, due to evil nature, half of the chickens in the village were lost overnight." Jiang Yong knocked the cigarette bag and pot on the sole of his shoe, took a cigarette from the cigarette case I handed over and continued. .
"When we were young, a group of boys thought that this was a village recruiting thieves? In our eyes, those chickens were not just chickens. They represented our new clothes and pork stewed noodles during the New Year. So we made up our minds, stayed up at night, and waited in the village to catch thieves." Jiang Yong said, taking a deep puff of his cigarette. He is used to smoking raw tobacco leaves, but he feels that the slightly lighter tobacco of Yellow Crane Tower is very difficult to enjoy!
"In the middle of the night, I really heard some movement in the village! The chickens all over the village were flopping there, but the adults didn't seem to hear it, and let the chickens in the yard toss about there. The half-sized children of us took out The white wax pole that had been prepared earlier rushed into a yard and beat the chicken coop. After a few beats, it was discovered that the one who came to steal the chicken was a thief? It was a weasel! It was also the adults who told us to Huang Daxian, who is honorably called, is also a mountain god!" After Jiang Yong said this, I understood what the mountain god he kept talking about was.
"We killed a few Huang Daxians and saved a few chickens. Instead of praising us, the adults took us home and beat us up! They said we ran into Huang Daxian and caused trouble for the village. !” Jiang Yong said, throwing the cigarette butt in his hand to his feet and stamping it out, still picking up his cigarette pipe and pot and lighting it up.
"The next day, the people in the village killed all the chickens of each family. Then they sent them to the mountain temple in the mountain with drums and gongs. Blame us!" Jiang Yong said with a long sigh, holding a cigarette pipe and pot.
"By the time the adults came home, it was already dark. They knelt in the mountain temple for a whole day! When they got up early the next morning, the chickens that were sent to the mountain temple were sent back untouched. This time , the adults were completely panicked. The mountain god’s refusal to accept tributes meant that it did not forgive us. Some old people hugged our little ones and began to cry! I didn’t know why they were crying at the time, but then I understood, it turned out to be The mountain god wants us to die for another life!" Jiang Yong said here, the veins on his neck visibly bulged. It could be seen that he was very excited at this time.
"Life for life? Didn't you say that everyone in your village believes in it and worships it?" According to my understanding, what can be worshiped by the people, whether it is a person, a god, or a ghost, should at least be Can one party be safe? Why did the situation seem to be reversed when we arrived at Eryi Mile Shop? This so-called mountain god makes people feel more like coercing people to worship it.
"Yes, there used to be a family in the village that was so poor that they couldn't get rid of the pot. The men relied on hunting in the mountains, and the women lived on washing and sewing for men. One day, on the way home, the man met a dog whose leg was broken by a dog trap. Huang Daxian. He was kind-hearted for a while, and found some herbs to help that Huang Daxian put the broken leg on the bag. When he opened the door the next day, he found a big wild boar in front of the door. Now But the Orion was very happy, so he organized people to help carry the wild boar to the town and sold it for a dozen or so taels of silver. That night, everyone was invited to have a tooth sacrifice at home. Everyone said that he was lucky, and the wild boar could go down the mountain He crashed and died at the door of his house." Jiang Yong took a puff of his cigarette, picked up the teapot, poured a bowl of tea and drank it down.
"From that day on, Orion opened the door every day, and there were more or less dead prey at the door. Once or twice was luck, and Orion was a little puzzled when there were too many times. One night, he pretended to sleep. Then he hid in the door I want to see later, who is delivering the prey to his house every day! In the middle of the night, when the Orion could not bear to doze behind the door, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the door. He passed through the crack of the door Looking outside, I saw dozens of pairs of green eyes staring at him outside the door." Jiang Yong had finished his cigarette addiction and said, leaning the pipe and pot on the table.
"At that time, he was almost scared to pee. When he was at a loss, there was a knock on the door. He was upset, but he was afraid that those things outside the door would do something out of the ordinary. He hesitated After a long time, he still opened the door. There was nothing outside the door, and Huang Daxian, who had a wound on his leg, nodded to him. Huang Daxian left, and Orion also understood that it was Huang Daxian who was repaying him. Thank you for saving my life!" Jiang Yong pushed the noodles in front of me, signaling me to eat them while they are hot. After it was over, he said there.
"This situation lasted for a while. For the last time, Huang Daxian sent a whole jar of silver ingots to Orion's family. After that, it never appeared again. And Orion's family became rich because of it!" Jiang Yong and others I picked up the chopsticks before continuing.

"After the news spread, the people in this village gradually began to believe in Huang Daxian, and even pooled money to build a temple on the mountain, which is now the mountain temple!" Jiang Yong told me the legend passed down from generation to generation I understand.
"Then what happened to you later? Did you pay for your life?" I was still thinking about the story of Jiang Yong's childhood, and I picked up a chopstick of noodles and put them into my mouth and asked him vaguely.
"I paid it back. Several half-children died one after another in a year. Except for me, my life was bought by my grandma with her life! Grandma said that she has lived for decades , that’s enough. I’m still young, so I want me to live a good life! She went to the mountain temple alone, and when we found her, she had knelt there and died!” Jiang Yong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. said there.
