- ( )¡úThe next day, the winter rain continued. (This chapter was uploaded by netizens)
Holding a light blue Xiuzhu umbrella, Xiao Lin came to the original town cultural center.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Lin." Walking into the open office, Lin said hello to a woman sitting on the chair: "I said hello to Mr. Li yesterday. Can you please take me to the archives room?"
"Oh, you are Miss Xiao, please come here." Because Xiao Lin had already notified the owner of this cultural center, she received a notice from the leader last night and came to the office early: "Miss Xiao is younger than I thought. Ah, I thought only those old men were interested in the information here."
The administrator of the town cultural center is a sinecure. Except for some old people who want to do research or simply take a look, no one comes here, and she usually spends very little time here. It was beyond her expectation that a young girl like Rin would be interested in such old information.
"Haha, I have been free recently and wanted to see the history of the town and learn more about this town where I grew up."
"That's right, but after all, there are still too few young people like you today."
As the two chatted, they arrived at the archives room on the third floor.
"It's really cold." Turning on the fluorescent lamp, the middle-aged woman tightened her clothes.
The archives room does not have air conditioning and is a bit cold.
The room where the town¡¯s archives are stored is quite large, and under the illumination of fluorescent lamps, the room as a whole is fairly bright.
Besides bookshelves, this is the first impression of this room on Rin.
The bookshelves where files are placed are so densely packed that the space left in the middle can only allow one person to walk sideways.
"I'm really sorry. This place stores some humanistic materials from the town a long time ago. Because they are of little use, no one has organized them, and there is no other place available Over time, it has become like this." The middle-aged woman glanced at Rin apologetically and explained.
"The information you need is over there,"
"It's okay, I can look for it slowly."
"Well, that's good. I have some things to leave first. Please close the door for me when you leave. Haha, actually there is nothing important here, but if something is missing, I will be a little troubled. "Yes." After giving her instructions, the middle-aged woman left the piled-up archives room.
Through the window of the archives room, you can see that the spiral-like whirlpool over the town is still going on.
The winter rain does not stop, and there are thunderstorms
This kind of abnormal weather makes people feel a little more uneasy out of thin air, and adds a layer of weirdness to this cold winter.
¡¡¡¡
Rin sat down at a desk with a pile of old books in her arms. Using the light of the fluorescent lamp, she calmed down and started reading.
Time passed very quickly, and it was already more than two hours in a blink of an eye. Xiao Lin stretched lazily and changed into a more comfortable position. From the mountain of books piled up on the desk, it can be seen that she has consulted a lot of information, but there are very few that are really useful Those on the desk are either customs or extremely unreliable things.
For example: the town produced several officials, and the town produced a concubine during the Qianlong period.
Another example is that in a certain year, a kind person in the town contributed money to build a bridge. In such and such a year, the ancestral hall was renovated for the clan. The biggest thing among them is that during the Hongwu period, there was only one Tanhualang in the town. To Xiao Lin, these are just trivial matters.
"I don't know why, but now Rin can't help but think of Xiao Yinthat little girl always organizes all the information she needs into a clear file and puts it in front of her.
¡®Sigh¡ I really want to exchange Xiao Li and Ning for Xiao Yin~~¡¯ Lin couldn¡¯t help but think this as she closed the thick book in her hand. Ahem, after a long afternoon of searching, she finally found some information about Linguist's temple in "Notes on Ancient Sacred Things".
The town was blessed by gods, and people felt its virtues, so a temple was built east of the river mouth.
The general meaning of this small note is that a long time ago, in an era that had not yet begun to record, this town was just a small village. This land that is not fertile is protected by a fairy, and that fairy is working hard to help the people in the small village every day.
Help regulate wind and rain so that their crops can be harvested, and predict and bless the villagers to avoid disasters and thrive.
Over time, this originally barren small village gradually gathered some people to stay there.
Slowly and gradually, a home was born.
There is no record of the specific length of this period. After the villagers' production and life gradually moved away from the whole world, the relationship betweenThe complaints from the gods gradually became less and less. Apart from going to the Hekou Temple to offer incense during festivals, it gradually faded out of people's sight.
However, about three hundred years ago, there were traces again.
At the end of summer and approaching autumn, unknown to everyone, a powerful flood is coming.
According to records, it rained continuously for a month during that time, and the water in the upper reaches was fierce. Villagers often have dreams at night and see raging floods. However, even if some people have known the warning from the god in their dreams, they are still not prepared enough, and the dams they built still cannot stop the raging flood.
"More and larger floods are pouring into the town, and the streets, houses, and farmland are all under water."
Just when the flood was about to break down the protective embankment and destroy the small village, a huge boulder standing on the river mouth rolled down for no reason, blocking the raging flood and causing it to flow in other directions.
That night, many people in the small village dreamed of such a scene.
A little girl stood barefoot by the river, with the flood behind her. When everyone was in despair, she pushed down the dragon-pressing stone that had remained unchanged despite the wind and rain, blocking the flood.
The small village in the flood was saved, but the huge boulder blocking the river mouth disappeared.
In order to commemorate this life-saving stone, people built a temple in its original place
A small statue of a god enshrined.
It¡¯s a simple legend, but this is the origin of the temple.
¡¡¡¡
Nearly noon, Rin left the town cultural center.
"Sister, come and eat quickly. Mom bought the Songhua fish you like today." As soon as she entered the house, Xiaoying hurried over, holding her hand and walking to the dining table.
"You little liar, you obviously like to eat it!"
Picking up her sister, Rin grabbed her tender cheeks and pulled her up.
"Wow, let go, mom, help me, my sister is bullying me!!!"
"Aha, if you call again, the gift will be gone." As she said that, Rin took it out of her pocket and revealed a corner of the chocolate packaging. The little girl's eyes lit up and she stopped screaming immediately. She even winked at Rin, then showed an anxious look and waved her hands repeatedly to signal her not to take it out in front of her mother.
¡°Hmph, the little girl is very clever, knowing that if her mother sees it, she will never be able to eat it!
After lunch, her mother pulled Rin aside to avoid Xiaoying, and said in her ear worriedly: "Xiao Rin, yesterday the neighbor's Aunt Li said she saw something strange."
"Last night at about seven or eight o'clock, she saw a black shadow outside the window. She thought someone was looking for her and opened the window, but there was nothing there. Then several times, after she opened the window, the black shadow actually appeared in the house. Fortunately, I only stayed for a while and flew out of her room!"
"Then nothing happened to Aunt Li?"
"That's not true, but she was frightened by this incident. She said she wanted to go to Yuyu's place to ask for some more amulets." Xiao Lin's mother, with a dumbfounded expression, covered her forehead and sighed: "Oh, Yuyu. The little girl should be happy for a long time."
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Lin's mouth suddenly turned dark.
"The amulet of Yuyuhua?? That's really not a reliable thing."
Thinking of Yuyu¡¯s unreliable amulet, the corner of Xiao Lin¡¯s mouth twitched.
¡¡¡¡
Mountain forest, old temple
"Thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again - the gods will bless you."
Yuyu hung an amulet around the neck of a middle-aged woman with a serious expression. She was dressed in sacrificial attire, and her stern expression gave her the majesty of a spokesperson for the gods.
"This time I will record five points for you. If you accumulate ten points, we will give you an amulet consecrated by my father." However, this sentence completely destroyed the magic stick posture she tried so hard to maintain. .
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then took out a hundred-dollar bill from her wallet: "Anyway, I don't have to worry about too many amulets. Give me five more!"
"Hmm, I'll charge you one hundred yuan. Madam, you are so generous, the gods will bless you." After taking the money, Yuyu took out five more amulets from her arms, and then called to the back hall with the expectant eyes of the middle-aged woman. Said: "Xiao Jing, please bring out the amulet that has been illuminated and blessed by the gods."
"Here we come." Xiaojing hurriedly ran out, solemnly holding an older-looking amulet with slightly faded cinnabar in her hand. She looked solemn and said sincerely to the middle-aged woman who stretched out her hand: "You have also seen that this kind of amulet was preserved a long time ago. WeThere aren't many, so it's not easy to sell. Since you are so devout to the gods, I will give it to you. "
She was wearing a thick winter coat, and there were some red marks on her fair and tender face.
"Thank you so much. If my family is safe this time, I will definitely come back to fulfill my wish."
The middle-aged woman was filled with excitement after hearing this. She clutched the old amulet she took from Xiaojing and went home happily.
After the guests left, Yuyu gave her sister a thumbs up!
Haha, that high-end amulet just now is completely untrustworthy! Those were just items that were not sold out last year. They were too old to be bought as new, so the two sisters came up with this trick. Well, really don¡¯t say it. The effect is surprisingly good, and there are many people who want this expensive and old thing.
¡¡¡¡
¡°Sister, don¡¯t you think business has been surprisingly good recently?¡±
The two sisters returned to the back hall, and Xiaojing took out a thick stack of amulets from the drawer.
"Hmm, isn't this great? If people come to buy amulets every day, our living expenses will not be a problem at all." Yuyu happily counted the money from the amulets she just sold, and closed the ventilation door.
"By the way, sister. We've all used up the cinnabar at home. The charms I drew this morning were all replaced with red ink. I wonder if it's okay?" Xiaojing rubbed the remaining red marks on her face with a look on her face. Nervous, he said: "I didn't know that business would be so good before, so Zhusha didn't prepare much. It would be nerve-wracking if someone discovered it."
Yuyu didn't care about this, and waved her hands in a big way, and said: "It doesn't matter at all, cinnabar is red, and red ink is red, so the effect is the same." After saying that, Yuyu lowered his head and thought about cinnabar. Compared with the price difference between red ink, he turned around and said to his sister seriously: "Hey Xiaojing, red ink seems to be cheaper, we will use it from now on!"
"Okay sister, in this case we can have some living expenses left." Although Xiaojing is sometimes surprisingly kind, she refuses to let go of the living expenses at all. If you save this money, you should be able to buy something that your sister likes. of crabs.
¡°Alas, this may be caused by a poor life since childhood.
"By the way, Xiaojing, are you still having that dream recently?"
"Yes." Xiaojing responded softly, and tugged at the corner of her clothes, with a weak look on her pretty face: "Where's sister?"
"I really hope this kind of dream can stop soon, otherwise I will have a neurasthenia. That dark environment is really disgusting." - Didn't finish reading?
