A thousand mountains of wind and snow

I was a little uneasy in the new environment, and after helping the ship unload the things, I took advantage of the night to explore the surrounding environment.

The village is surrounded by mountains and sea, so it is quite inconvenient to go to nearby towns. Zhao Shu saw a lot of abandoned fishing nets on the mountain, so he grabbed a discarded fishhook and shook it. The fishy smell still seemed to be on the hook. The people in this village all live by fishing.

Zhao Shu thought, luckily when he came here, he came separately from Yan Yi, Ah Chen. Yan Yi was tortured by his injuries, and he originally wanted to say that he was near Yizhou. The two of them have not yet arrived in Yuzhou. When they arrived in Yizhou, they were still here.

Looking down from the hill, the houses in this village are brightly lit, which seems out of place on this deserted beach.

Zhao Shu searched around and didn't see anything unusual, but when he was about to get up and go back, he heard a rustling sound, but a black figure came out from some corner, and ran down the mountain in the blink of an eye.

Needless to say, Zhao Shu's skills, all the way to chase, the village is not big, but the layout is quite strange, the man disappeared in the village after three or two strokes, Zhao Shu raised his head and happened to know whose window, the window There is also a hole in the top, and from the corner of the eye, people inside seem to be offering incense, but it is not clear which Bodhisattva is being worshiped in this place.

But he heard noises coming from outside, and the worshiper closed the closet with the Buddha statue, which was actually embedded in the wall.

The noise was originally made by the boatman who was in charge of repairing the boat. He managed to find some tools and materials from the village and planned to repair the boat early to avoid long nights and dreams, but he didn't expect to find that the good-looking boat was broken for some reason in the middle of the night. Dadong, since it is on the shore, there will be no ferocious beasts in the shallow sea nearby. The ship manager insisted on asking the people in the village to explain, but the coast became lively at night.

After arguing for a long time, a few short and strong men walked out of the crowd, "It's just a few boats, so much nonsense, we will repair it for you!"

The hands of those two men are quite dexterous, and they repaired a little bit after three times, five and two. The eyes of the ship supervisor who was a little suspicious at first are now bright. Still hiding the dragon and crouching tiger, Dang even said that he would hire these people to repair the ship for them.

The two men originally wanted to help them repair this inexplicable big hole, but they didn't expect the ship supervisor to invite them to help repair the ship together. They subconsciously turned to look at the village chief's wink. nodded.

"The visitor is a guest. Even so, it is our duty to help the guest repair the ship. The ship is a bit damaged, and it is late at night. Why don't everyone go back and rest first."

Everyone has been busy all day, and now it is the time when they are tired, and they heard that someone is helping to repair the boat, so they all went back to rest.

"Why doesn't this young man go back to rest at night?" the village chief said with a smile.

"This boat ride is really scary," Zhao Shu said with a worried look on his face, "Is there any Bodhisattva you can worship when you go out to sea? I am always worried that I will be hit by some waves and I won't be able to sail. Tell me to be at ease."

"It's late at night, and the Bodhisattva has to rest. Besides, we will worship Mazu in this place."

"Mazu is also good, and it will make me feel at ease if I pay my respects."

"Okay, then this young man will come with me." The village chief led him to a small hillside, and a huge rock on the hillside was roughly engraved with the appearance of a kind-eyed fairy. Presumably this is the village. The people in the village engraved the statue of Mazu in order to protect the safety, Zhao Shu worshiped devoutly, "Village chief, do you have any small statues of Mazu here? I still feel uneasy, if there is no small statue of Mazu Like, any other Buddha statues are also fine.”

"It's not convenient for us to go out for a trip here. Here, we carved this statue of Mazu ourselves. Where can we find small statues? Of course, there is only one Bodhisattva in a place. If there are too many gods, they will doubt it." We are not religious."

"Is it working?"

"Spiritual!" The village head looked at Zhao Shu still looking scared, and took a small stone under the carved statue of Mazu and gave it to Zhao Shu, "Here, Mazu's blessing."

The worry on the boy's eyebrows really eased a lot, and he walked away happily holding the small stone.

"These people are really greedy for life and afraid of death."

It was night, everyone had just slept in a daze, and heard knocking on the door again. After knocking several times, no one came to open the door. They were about to break in, but the door opened from the inside. The boy's face With a look of impatience on his face, "What are you doing at night?"

The young man's face was so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open. The farm houses in this village were originally small, so you can see it clearly when you open the door and just take a look, "Oh, a guest said that the rats are making a lot of noise. Come on." Give the young master some local medicine to cure rats."

Zhao Shu yawned, "What kind of mouse, no, no, it has trapped me to death all day long."

After saying that, he closed the door, and the people outside looked at each other, shook their heads and left.

Zhao Shu just closed the door and turned around, but the exhausted look on his face disappeared completely. He leaned on the door with folded arms and said, "What? You don't say thank you when others help you?"

A thin figure jumped down from the beam above Zhao Shu's head, "You are a good person, so can you help others to the end?"

Zhao Shu smiled, "Little brother, how do you know I'm a good person?"

The little boy thought, "I've seen you before!"

Zhao Shu thought it was a little funny, how could encounters in this world turn into reunions after a long absence?

"Tell me, when did you meet me?"

"Hmm..." The little boy thought about it seriously, "I saw it in a painting four years ago."

Zhao Shu was taken aback, the expression on his face changed, "What painting?"

"Then big brother, will you help me?"

However, Zhao Shu took out a token from his bosom and shook it in front of the little boy's eyes. The little boy's gray eyes that had been desperate for everything now lit up, and he said excitedly, "Brother, are you People from Northern Xinjiang?!"

"You are from the southern border, why do you like the northern border more?" Zhao Shu asked curiously.

The little boy's eyes dimmed a little, "Because I heard that people in the northern border obediently listen to the general, and our southern border... oh..."

Zhao Shu reached out and touched his head, "Can you tell me about this painting now?"

The little boy nodded, "When they first came, I ran out to play secretly. When I came back, I heard the noise and was afraid that my mother would find out and scold me. Then I hid secretly in a broken basket, just in time to see the outside. People, but I saw them kill all the people who brought them back with good intentions, and the blood splashed in front of me. I was so scared that I almost cried out, but the mother-in-law who fell in front of me looked at me beggingly. Me, don’t let me talk, I just sat in that crate, I couldn’t understand what they said, but I heard that tone, the people in the painting they held should be their enemies, the enemies of those beasts must be good people !"

Zhao Shu reached out and touched his head, "Thank you."

It's a pity that the whole village has been slaughtered and wiped out. One person can still survive until now, and he even took the risk of destroying the ship in order to let outsiders discover the abnormality, and even led him to see the strange god who worshiped.

In fact, Zhao Shu had already noticed the abnormality when he saw those abandoned fishing nets on the mountain. This fishing village is so remote, it is relying on these fishing nets to maintain his livelihood, and even if it is damaged, he will not easily throw away more. What's more, there are still some intact fishhooks on it.

Moreover, the statue of Mazu engraved on the stone wall has obviously not been maintained for a long time. There are also boats. The people in this fishing village can easily repair boats, but why are they so familiar with repairing such cargo ships and passenger ships? , It is indeed extremely strange.

The strangest thing was the strange god statue that the little boy led Zhao Shu to see. Zhao Shu had only seen that god statue on the isolated island before, and just now he heard the village chief's words, and he kept saying that there was nothing but Mazu. God does not worship.

The little boy tugged at the corner of Zhao Shu's clothes, "Big brother, you will drive away all the bad guys, right?"

"Why didn't you leave and ask for help after staying here for so long?" Zhao Shu squatted down to meet the little boy's eyes, and said softly.

"Because... because this is my home, our place in Dachu, you can come as a guest, but you must not give it to others, and I have never left the village, and others will not believe me. If I leave Nobody really remembers this place anymore."

Zhao Shu sighed softly, "You are much smarter and more sensible than when I was a child."

"Brother, you also know that they are bad people, so when..."

"You must first know what they are doing. You can't let them die so casually, right? By the way, what's your name? My name is Changyu."

"Small fire, flaming fire!"

The whole was burned down to ashes, and only this little clump of flames remained.

Zhao Shu found some food for Xiao Huo. The child was suffering alone in this dangerous environment, and he didn’t know how long he hadn’t had a proper meal. He was hesitant at first, but later he ate Like wolfing down.

"Have you seen any strange things in this village?"

Xiaohuo took the water from Zhao Shu, tried hard to swallow all the food in his throat, and then said clearly, "There are always strange sounds on the mountain in the village..." The child frowned and tried hard to recall "It's like the voice when everyone made the statue of Mazu!"
