Chapter 409 The matter of Jitou Mountain
I was a little surprised when I first arrived at the foot of Jitou Mountain, and then I planned to leave, but Lian'er pulled me to take a look, so I didn't leave immediately.
At this time the woman asked, "Is there no other way?"
"It's not easy to think so. Such a thing is a disaster, but it's a blessing or not. Now we can only take one step at a time." Uncle Han said, and the older woman said: "There are more than 100 households and hundreds of people in our Jitou Village. There are so many people who have had trouble. This is a human life. There is no way to find a way."
The woman looked a little anxious. Uncle Han asked for a while: "Actually, there is a very cruel way, which is to find two living children, make a stake, and see what's going on. I gave these two children a living sacrifice to them. It will definitely be fine if I come here. But I can't do such a conscience, let alone whose children are willing to do this..."
Uncle Han didn't plan to do anything, so he stopped talking as he spoke.
But the woman said, "For the sake of the village, I can't ignore it. Let's see whose children are born with no brains. If you don't have it, just get them."
The woman was helpless when she said it. Uncle Han said, "After all, it's human life. I can't do it. I see what the reason is to find first, and then talk about it later."
After saying that, Uncle Han turned around and left. I also planned to take Lian'er and Song'er away, but just as I was about to leave, the woman saw me and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here with your two children? Are you here to visit relatives?"
When the woman was talking, she had already walked up to me and looked at Lian'er and Song'er.
I said, "I am the one who wants to go up Jitou Mountain, pass by here and take a look."
"Ji Tou Mountain, why are you doing on Ji Tou Mountain? There are grave circles on Ji Tou Mountain." The woman said, and I asked in thought: "What is grave circle?"
"The grave circle is a place where people are buried specifically for dead people, and it is a cemetery. We are all called grave circles here." The woman explained, but I didn't take it to my heart, and then I heard the woman say, "My name is Ah Hua Grandma, and you can call me Ah Hua Grandma."
"Grandpa Ah Hua." I said, and Grandpa Ah Hua looked at Song'er: "This child looks so good."
"Everyone says so, he looks like his father, so his father looks good." What I said was Ouyang Xuanzi, Song'er hugged me, and didn't like Grandma Ah Hua very much, so she turned around and lay on my shoulder, not going to see Grandma Ah Hua anymore.
Lian'er said, "Mom, let's go, don't waste time."
"Oh, don't you hear me? I said there are grave circles on the mountain, why do you still have to go up?"
Grandma Ah Hua asked us that the house where the dead started to be filled with sorrow and music. It was really a little panicked, so I said to Lian'er: "Let's go."
Lian'er was about to leave first, and Grandma Ah Hua stopped us. She suffered from Lan Ruo's losses before. This time I kept my mind and said, "But my family is waiting for us. After crossing Jitou Mountain, my family will come. If we can't go, my family will come out to find us. By that time, things will be in trouble. My husband's temper has always been bad. He always feels that he will go far away after I leave. He will never go back after taking away two children. Because I rarely go out so that he will not cause trouble for me. People in our village also know his temper and rarely let me take my children out. This time I accidentally brought the child out. He was not at home at that time, and now he will definitely come back. When he sees that the two children are not at home, he will definitely come out to find me and have to settle the score with me. We dare not delay for a moment, so we left first."
"That's the case, then you can leave, but the Jitou Mountain is like a mass grave. If you go up, you may not be able to get through it." Grandma Ah Hua said, and I asked with a strange question: "Why may it not be able to get through it? Is there any reason?"
"The reason, if you want to listen to me, I will tell you, but don't tell anyone else." Grandma Ah Hua looked around and pointed to the front and said, "That's my family, come with me."
I seemed to be not far away, and I arrived in a few dozen meters, so I followed Grandma Ah Hua and walked towards the other side.
When we arrived at the door of the house, there were two iron black gates. These seemed to be very popular in this village. There were such gates everywhere we walked.
Grandma Ah Hua invited us in. After entering, I observed it. On both sides were to the opposite wing room. I couldn’t see the area of the wing room, but the wing room from the door to the main room, the layout here is like this, and the first impression I gave people is that it is very spacious.
I looked at it for a while and asked Grandma Ah Hua: "Why are all such houses here? I don't look like bricks and tiles. Generally, there are bricks and tiles in the village, but you don't look like it at all."
"What you said is true. We are not brick and tile houses here. This house is built with stones. In the early years, we went to Jitou Mountain to open stones, built a house, and built a house to install chickens. There were chickens here before, and the area was larger and it only made more money. Unfortunately, our fortune has passed, and it has not been possible in the past few years."
Grandma Ah Hua said as she arrived at the door of her main room, raised her hand and pushed the door of the main room open, took us into the door, and walked in. Grandma Ah Hua asked us to sit down, and then started talking. I followed and asked Grandma Ah Hua about some things about Jitou Mountain.
"Since there are grave circles on this Jitou Mountain, how did you get up and down? How could you build so many houses?"
When I asked Grandma Ah Hua, Grandma Ah Hua said, "It's a long story. I was still young at that time. Our village was a well-known professional chicken farming village. The chickens were delicious at that time. We put the chickens on the mountain, and the chickens on the mountain could grow up by themselves. When they grew up, they came down. We grabbed them and put them in a special bamboo basket and transported them outside. The price was very high. We didn't have to worry about anything except for the trouble of hatching some chickens ourselves.
If you guard this Jitou Mountain, you can say that you can keep your income from drought and flood for a year.
Later, a new village chief was selected in our village, the current village chief. The one you saw today was our village chief. He is old and dead."
As he said that, Grandma Ah Hua sighed and said, "Since we chose him as the village chief, he has taken us all the way to get rich, and life is getting better and better. One day, he told us that it is not enough to just raise chickens on the mountain. We must find a way to develop the entire Jitou Mountain and rely on the mountain to eat the mountain and water to eat the water.
Later, when we heard him, we started to open the mountains, build houses, raise chickens, and bring down rare birds and beasts on the mountain. There were wild vegetables and wild ginseng on the mountain. After they were brought down, we went to sell them for money. All year round, good things appeared on the Chicken Head Mountain, so we went to different ways, and later we became richer and richer.
At the same time, our chickens are getting more and more frequent, and the sales outside are starting to be bad. Those people told us that we deceived them and said that our chickens are not wild at all and can be detected. In this way, we can't continue to raise chickens.
But no one wanted the chicken that year, and the chicken didn't lay eggs. We had no choice but to bury the chickens alive, otherwise we would not be able to afford to eat them."
When I heard Grandma Ah Hua say it, I not only took a breath: "How many chickens can you raise in this room?"
Grandma Ah Hua thought about it: "The most is more than five thousand."
"so much?"
"No, it was originally sold for more than 5,000 yuan, and a chicken for 100 yuan was OK. Later, no one wanted a dollar and had to eat good food every day. We had no choice. I had more than 3,000 chickens that year, and I threw them into the soil.
I can't bear to bear it, that's all money."
Grandma Ah Hua told me, I was silent for a while: "That's all fate."
"There is nothing to do. If there is a way, I will not throw it away." Grandma Ah Hua said, I was silent and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that I stopped talking, Grandma Ah Hua continued, "It didn't work later. No matter how we got it, we couldn't get rich. After using up, we had to get something on the mountain. As a result, we made too many stones that year. There were stone pits everywhere on Jitou Mountain. People accidentally fell and fell to death. The stone buried the people alive. More than a hundred people died. There were only a few hundred people in our village. It was really miserable."
When Grandma Ah Hua spoke, I almost blurted out. Maybe this was retribution. They just didn't know that retribution came too early.
They buried fresh chickens alive, stones buried them, and they reported them one after another.
Then Grandma Ah Hua said, "My husband also died that year. It's been ten years now. I was still young at that time, only fifty years old."
At fifty, she is considered young, and this Grandma Ah Hua is really interesting.
After Ah Hua said something more, most of them were about the fact that the village was getting worse and worse, and only a few old, weak, women and children died. Now, life is worse than one day, almost to the point of eating soup and swallowing vegetables. Besides, the people who died on the mountain said that they had worked hard to get the people out, but the people were no longer as good as humans, and they could not tell who was from whom, so they set up a circle of graves on the mountain and buried them almost. This led to the incident later.
I was just silent when I heard Grandma Ah Hua say that. In fact, many natural disasters and man-made disasters can be avoided, but we don’t want to avoid them. We repeatedly hurt the way of heaven, causing the anger of heaven and people to resent, and natural disasters will come. But these people just can’t understand.
After saying a lot, Grandma Ah Hua asked me: "Are you really from Jitou Mountain?"
I looked at Grandma Ah Hua: "Yes."
"That's strange, why don't you know the grave circle on the mountain?"
"Maybe I'm coming out if I don't know you." I said, and Grandma Ah Hua shook her head: "You don't have to lie to me. I think you are also a smart person. In fact, you are worried that I will harm your child, so you said that to me. Are you right?
"What you said is right, right." I said, Grandma Ah Hua looked like an expression and waited for me to continue, and I said, "Actually, if you want to harm my child, that's your business. It's not necessarily your fault. I want to go to Jitou Mountain to have something to do, so I have to hurry to leave."
