Nanhua Jingu.

On the day when rain creates hundreds of valleys, in this abyss a hundred feet long, the rain vapor is misty.

A white-haired old man knelt upright and prayed devoutly in front of the statue in the center of the huge pool under the Wanzhang Falls.

"Mountain Goddess, I'm sorry, I can no longer send offerings to you. I am old and my legs and feet are not good. My children are filial and want to take me out of the mountains to support me in my old age."

"I know my body. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I leave. This is the last time I kneel down to you. Thank you for protecting the children and grandchildren of our Li family. Today's children receive scientific education and don't believe in gods and Buddhas. I'm afraid they won't in the future." I’ll give you a stick of incense as soon as I can.”

"You have protected us for many years, and your merits have been fulfilled long ago. You can ascend to immortality as soon as possible. You no longer need to protect our unfilial descendants. From now on, their fate will be theirs, whether they are good or bad, not up to you!"

The old man talked a lot, but at the feet of the young man waiting at the entrance of the valley was a pile of ravaged weeds that could not be seen as they were.

Looking at his devout grandfather, he didn't understand in his heart. Since he was a child, he had heard the old people in the village tell the story of the Mountain Goddess. They said that because of the protection of the Mountain Goddess, the weather here was smooth and there were no wars or disasters.

Li Jingqi wondered if this was because the natural environment here was good? It was too poor and desolate, and the Japanese were too far away to bother to fight. It was not the magic of the Mountain Goddess at all.

When he was a child, he had made a wish to ask the Mountain Goddess to bless him to get double hundred points in the exam, but it never came to fruition. However, he failed the exam several times and was always beaten. Only when he grew up did he realize that the myths and stories were all lies.

He just couldn't understand why every old man in this village had to kneel here for several days to repent for several days every time he went out to provide for the elderly. When he confessed, he would openly praise his children for their filial piety. Li Jingqi was not a fool, so he couldn't tell that grandpa was beating around the bush. Call them unfilial descendants.

Please, if you are unfilial, you old people will become left-behind elders in the mountains. You will be unfilial if you don’t care whether you are dead or alive. You will be scolded for being unfilial when you are taken out to provide care for the elderly. Li Jingqi said that she, her parents, and all the other villagers in the village who went out to work and settled down have their homes. They were all wronged. They were obviously filial.

Li Jingqi was bored and took out her mobile phone, "Fuck, there is no Internet..." Looking at the old man again, he didn't know when he would finish his confession. His mobile phone was almost out of battery. If his father hadn't said that he must watch his grandfather up and down the mountain. , he really wanted to find a place to play two games before coming back.

Li Jingqi changed her posture and sat down. Not to mention, although her hometown was far away from the village, there was no store in the back, and there was no signal yet, the air quality was really good. The four seasons were distinct at the foot of the mountain, but it was like spring all year round on the mountain.

The huge waterfall pool is not a hot spring, but there are flowers blooming on the cliff and beside the pool all year round. Just like now, the water vapor of the waterfall is accompanied by peach blossoms flying down, drifting in the pool water. This scene instantly reminds Li Jingqi. Daiyu buries the flowers, and the falling flowers of the crape myrtle are intentional and ruthless.

That's why there is no Internet. If there is an Internet, Li Jingqi would like to live broadcast. He has visited many famous mountains and waterfalls to see this scenery and this picture. When asked to rate it, he felt that most places are not as beautiful as here without filters, that is, those who enter the village. The road is too difficult to walk, otherwise such wonderful scenery would not be preserved here.

He couldn't live broadcast, but he didn't want such beautiful scenery to be buried. Li Jingqi's phone still had one battery, so he thought he might just shoot some videos and edit them, maybe it would become popular, even though he only had [-] fans.

Li Jingqi just did what she said, looking around for the location with her mobile phone, taking pictures left and right. Hey, don’t mention it, every frame you take can be used as wallpaper directly. It’s so beautiful.

Li Jingqi walked up behind Grandpa Li unknowingly. The sound of the waterfall falling into the pool was still a bit noisy. Li Jingqi heard Grandpa talking to the Mountain Goddess.

"My dear, this is my stupid grandson. He has not been able to read well since he was a child. He basically failed the exams and did not have a real job when he grew up. He wants to be an Internet celebrity and get rich overnight all day long. I let him I bought you a roasted chicken to worship. Look at what kind of chicken he bought, Kenny! You, the old man, have a lot of them. Don’t get angry with the children! If I can come back, I will definitely get you a big one next time. Rooster!"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Didn't you say you want to get the most delicious chicken? Kenji is the chicken that I think is the most delicious. Besides, you always use roasted chicken to worship this lady who likes to eat meat. Maybe she's tired of it a long time ago, so let's change the taste, and she will also change the taste, let her eat foreign fast food, maybe she still likes the taste!" Li Jingqi said without caring about Mr. Li's glaring and playful smile.

Mr. Li gave Li Jingqi a slap on the head, which made stars appear in Li Jingqi's eyes. "What are you talking about with a smile in front of the queen? The queen is the mountain god. Why can't the mountain god eat meat!?"

"Other Bodhisattvas are vegetarians, but she has many things to do. Don't you worship some mountain spirits and monsters!" Li Jingqi shook her head and couldn't help muttering.

"I told you not to say it, but you still say it!" Mr. Li was so angry that he couldn't find a stick suitable for whipping him. He took off his cloth shoes and chased Li Jingqi to beat him. Li Jingqi was not stupid. When he was a child, his mother Just tell him that when someone beats him, he will run away if he can't beat him!

Li Jingqi hurriedly started running. There was a muddy road beside the pond. Li Jingqi took two steps and felt a little slippery. She was afraid of falling and slowed down the old man. But old man Li was used to walking on mountain roads and caught up with him in two steps. They circled around the water pool. The statue in the middle of the water pool had a kind face and looked at the two of them with a smile, full of tolerance.

A fair and delicate arm quietly stretched out from the water pool, accurately confirmed the location of the fried chicken, quietly reached out without making any movement, picked up the largest piece of chicken leg, and retracted it into the water with a 'swish'. After a moment, a piece of chicken was Bones were thrown out.

The sound of bones falling to the ground did not disturb the grandfather and grandson who were still playing eagle and catching chickens. The owner of the hand was bolder and took away the entire box.

‘Hoo, ho, ho…’ Mr. Li was so exhausted that he finally couldn’t bear it anymore and stopped and sat by the pool. He pointed at Li Jingqi.

"You brat, let me see how good you are at running. Now you know what it means to be ginger or old. If you want to outrun your grandpa in the mountains... Huh, Huh, Huh..."

Li Jingqi was lying facelessly in the grass next to him, "That's what I asked you to do, otherwise... you could catch up with me..."

"Huh!" Mr. Li was not convinced, but he also knew that he was really old. He smiled helplessly. Even his grandson can marry a wife, even if he is not old. Thinking of this, Mr. Li sighed.

"Jingqi, grandpa, can I trouble you with something?"

When Li Jingqi heard that grandpa was so serious, she quickly turned over and sat up and ran to Mr. Li to sit down. The two brothers hugged grandpa's shoulders and said, "Grandpa, why do we, grandpa and grandson, need to bother us? If you need anything, just say it." , I promise to handle it properly for you!"

Mr. Li took a deep look at Li Jingqi and said, "Your father is disobedient. He probably never wants to go back to this poor mountain village in his life. All the young people in the mountains have left, and the older generation has died one by one." We are old and have little chance of climbing up the mountain again, but the Mountain Goddess is really blessing us! We cannot let her cut off the incense. If the incense is cut off, it will be difficult to renew it in the future!"

"Grandpa, please, if you come here even once a year, just help grandpa put incense sticks and bring a roasted chicken. Your Majesty loves roasted chicken. Don't play with those foreign things. Dogs won't eat them..."

Li Jingqi? ? ? What do you mean dogs don’t eat? He eats it! Someone on the statue is chewing a chicken leg? ? ? Who are you calling a dog?
