When the group arrived in the village, Chu Qianli proposed to see Sa Ren and asked other villagers to send a message.
Sa Ren was a little surprised when she heard the news. She invited everyone to the room where the ceremony was held to listen to Chu Qianli's intentions.
Inside the house, animal bones and herbs are still hung on the walls, and tambourines and witchcraft props are piled up in the corners.
Under the reflection of the charcoal fire, the wrinkles on the old lady's face became deeper and deeper in the dancing shadows, her hair was carefully collected in a small cap, and the wind, frost and years dyed her hair the color of snow. She sat upright, looking solemn and cautious.
Chu Qianli sat directly opposite Sa Ren, her back was also straight. She explained her thoughts slowly and asked the people around her to help translate.
Tan Muxing quietly looked at the scene in front of him, as if flipping through a magical scroll. Two women with completely different clothes, ages and backgrounds are sitting upright at this moment, expounding their views.
Chu Qianli finished talking about the consequences of relocating and not relocating. Facing Sa Ren with a serious expression, she added habitually: "Of course, these are all my suggestions. The choice is in your hands."
Saren replied softly.
"She said that this matter needs to be discussed with the village, and she can't decide it alone."
Chu Qianli nodded. Just as she was about to stand up, she caught a glimpse of the animal bones on the wall and said in a low voice, "There is one more thing. I am really not a shaman. They can put this aside when they have a meeting."
The staff passed the words to Sa Ren.
Sa Ren was taken aback when she heard the words, her expression was tense and her brows were slightly frowned, but now she showed a kind smile as if the ice and snow had just melted, and her lips moved slightly.
Seeing her smiling at him, Chu Qianli asked blankly, "What did grandma just say?"
"Didn't hear clearly? Can you say it again?"
Sa Ren didn't repeat it again, she also stood up and asked the guests to take a short rest outside, saying that she would call the villagers to discuss the next thing.
The small village is not big at all, Chu Qianli and others stood outdoors, and it didn't take long to see the villagers coming after hearing the news, pouring into the largest meeting hall in the village.
Adult men and women entered the house one after another. They spoke their own language and argued hard in the house. Sa Ren presided over the meeting in the center, looking dignified and organizing the order of the meeting.
The people at the workstation stayed outside, and Tan Muxing asked, "Is this where they usually hold meetings?"
"Yes, we discussed for a long time last time, and finally decided not to move." Batu said, "I don't know how it will be this time."
After a long time, the meeting in the house was finally over. Sa Ren didn't agree immediately, but said to talk to the person in charge of the relocation.
This is already a major breakthrough, at least the village didn't want to talk about it last time, and now there is a turning point.
Villagers came out of the meeting hall one after another.
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing unexpectedly saw the little boy delivering candy at the entrance of the village that day. He didn't snuggle up to his mother this time, but wandered alone under the eaves.
The little boy kicked away the stones on the side, then looked up at the people at the workstation, and continued to turn around on the spot with his head down.
Batu waved at the little boy, making him hesitate.
Tan Muxing didn't call the shy little boy for a long time last time, but today the other party took a step after struggling, and mustered up the courage to come in front of Chu Qianli and the others.
Batu said proudly: "It seems that our family is relatively close."
After the little boy came over, he didn't pay attention to Batu on the side, but gave Chu Qianli an awkward look, with a bit of aggrieved meaning, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Why do you always want us to move away? "
Tan Muxing was stunned: "His Chinese is very good."
Some villagers can speak Chinese, while others can't speak Chinese well. The little boy can speak Chinese well.
Batu: "When I was in school, it was posted in the classroom that only Mandarin was spoken in the school. It's just that the location is too remote, but there is a school nearby. It used to take two hours."
Facing the little boy's doubts, Chu Qianli asked softly, "Why don't you want to move away?"
"If I move away, I won't be able to go to the mountains, I won't be able to play in the soil, everything will be gone..." The little boy stumbled and organized his words, "Just like the back mountain, it was finally forgotten."
"You want us to move out, and then you won't come back." The little boy peeked at the group of people out of the corner of his eye, and muttered, "Then why can't we stay?"
Everyone was startled.
Tan Muxing: "But if you move out, it will be convenient for you to go to school."
"But the home is gone." The little boy said with downcast eyes.
Chu Qianli: "Do you like this place very much?"
The little boy nodded: "There are also mountain gods."
Chu Qianli thought about it for a while, and she considered her words: "But a long time ago, everyone didn't live here, maybe they wandered on the grasslands, and came here later..."
"Isn't it good here? I've been here since I was a child." The little boy said, "It's not my home outside."
Chu Qianli shook his head: "It's not bad, it's just that everyone liked the grassland before, and now you like here, and you all hope for better and better."
"But in the end everyone forgot about it..." The little boy lowered his head, kicked the stones on the ground, and muttered, "I said I would come back in the future, but I definitely won't, just like the people in my class."
"Mountain gods, shamans, I forgot." The little boy spread his hands.
Chu Qianli: "Do you still think I'm a shaman?"
The little boy glanced at her, lowered his head again, and said in a low voice, "Yes."
"Although I don't know what the mountain god thinks, if you get better and better, it doesn't matter if you forget about me." Chu Qianli thought for a few seconds, then smiled, "Everyone is doing well, and my mission is over."
Now that the querent is on the right track, there is no need for an astrologer.
The little boy was startled.
He hawed and hawed for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence: "... I will never forget."
"what?"
The little boy turned away in embarrassment, ran home without looking back, and did not talk to them again.
Batu was startled and said, "Why did you run away all of a sudden? You ran pretty fast?"
The little boy suddenly felt embarrassed and disappeared at the intersection in a flash.
The group didn't stay in the village for too long. After communicating with the little boy, they returned to the workstation along the same road. A few days later, the village will usher in new staff and discuss the details of the relocation again.
Batu sighed on the road: "He just finished talking, which made me want to go back and have a look. I have lived in a similar place before, and now I almost don't remember it."
After Chu Qianli left the village, she was much quieter. She and Tan Muxing walked behind the team, slowly acting as the little tail.
Tan Mu Xing noticed her abnormal state, and he showed concern: "What are you thinking?"
Chu Qianli regained consciousness in a second, she looked at her companion, and said abruptly: "I just had a whim, in fact, it is good to have a god in the world."
Tan Muxing asked curiously, "Why?"
"Because God doesn't make mistakes. If you can really hear God's will, then you don't have to worry about it, and everything will be properly arranged." Chu Qianli tilted her head and said, "But if it's just a human being, it will become Very uncertain, mainly because I am not good enough.”
If it is God, it will not be affected by the words of the little boy, nor will it be influenced by various emotions.
Chu Qianli scratched his head helplessly: "Oh, so I still can't be a god, and I can't be a shaman either. There are too many problems with me."
Tan Muxing: "But I think this is better."
Chu Qianli looked at him in confusion.
Tan Muxing smiled: "You have some minor problems, but you still try your best to wish everyone well. Isn't that more valuable?"
"What God does is not miraculous, but what people do is miraculous. I think Grandma Sa Ren also understands." Tan Muxing said earnestly, "Whether it's her or the villagers, it's not that you know how to divination, and then Just believe in you, but feel something else, and then you are willing to believe.”
Tan Muxing didn't think that Sa Ren and the others would blindly obey Chu Qianli, just like when Batu said she was a shaman when he entered the village, Grandma Sa Ren didn't believe her and thought they were lying.
She can touch others, there must be other reasons, just like there are so many fortune tellers in the world, and he just believes in her.
Chu Qianli didn't expect him to say this, she felt inexplicably embarrassed, she was always eloquent, but now she became clumsy and didn't know how to answer the words.
Tan Muxing's attitude was too sincere and sincere, which made the number one in the world a little at a loss.
After a while, Chu Qianli was finally able to speak, but instead of mentioning the topic just now, the topic changed suddenly. She said in a malicious voice on purpose: "I can say that I have a lot of problems, but you can't continue to say that I have minor problems!"
Tan Muxing suddenly heard her awkward tone, and said in a daze, "Oh?"
Chu Qianli pretended to wipe away tears, and sobbed: "I understand, but it's just light. You never said that I have a small problem before, but now you are finally telling the truth..."
Tan Muxing saw her face change in a second, he waved his hands in panic: "Wait, I didn't mean that! That's not the point of this sentence!"
They were obviously discussing other things, but they suddenly shifted to his opinion of her.
"Yes, I just revealed the truth unintentionally. You really think that I have a lot of problems, and you have tolerated me for a long time..." Chu Qianli mourned, "But I am still kept in the dark, waiting for the conflict to break out. Only then did I know, and then it got out of hand, as you can see in the stories on the Internet.”
"No, no, no, really, don't believe the stories on the Internet!" Tan Muxing was caught up in the conversation, and he was full of desire to survive at the moment, so he hurriedly explained, not knowing how she came to such a conclusion.
Chu Qianli sighed sadly: "Oh, the beginning of the story is always extremely gentle..."
"..."
It is true that there are many mistakes and many mistakes.
Tan Muxing didn't expect to be able to follow Chu Qianli's words, and he would be able to follow him in. She cried sadly (fake crying) about his crimes, saying that she didn't expect him to have so many opinions on her, which caused her young heart to be greatly hurt.
Tan Muxing knew her tricks well, so he asked weakly: "What do you want... no, is there any way for me to make up for my mistakes?"
Chu Qianli wiped her face when she heard the words, she stopped whimpering immediately, and hinted with a blink of an eye: "The colorful ropes we got on the first day here are very beautiful."
"Do you want that?"
Chu Qianli stared at him silently.
Tan Muxing understood, he changed his words in a second, and rephrased: "No, please let me give you that as mental damage..."
Chu Qianli said cheerfully: "Yes!"
"...forbidden."
Tan Muxing signed an unequal treaty in a daze, and was blackmailed by her for mental damage, just like a victim of phone scams, never understanding why his IQ fell to the bottom when he communicated with the liar.
After being cheated, some victims will feel that they were tricked when they resumed the game.
