[Stolen Pen] Renzu Mountain

Then, why is this thing here..."

When we parked the car beside the building, the three of us looked at each other and decided to get out of the car.

At first glance, it appears to be a square square with a platform two stories high with handrails at the edges.We are now on the south side of the square, which is indeed the top of a hill, but we don’t know if the hill with such a large area was originally built here, or it was built after it was artificially leveled.

I looked around, and sure enough, I saw the Nuwa Temple on the top of the hill in the distance facing the west of the square.

"Go west, and that should be the main entrance of the square."

The fat man asked me how I knew it, and I said, "The Nuwa Temple faces east. If this square echoes the Nuwa Temple, it should be built facing the west."

Sure enough, when we walked to the west of the square, we saw the stone steps in the middle, the building stones all over the floor, a vegetable garden, and a simple house.

The fat man said, "It looks like the square hasn't been built yet. Where have all the people gone?"

Before the fat man finished speaking, we heard a dog barking, which came from the other side of the humble house. We couldn't see the scene on the other side. The sound should be a large dog.

Poker bottle subconsciously stood in front of me, the fat man spat and picked up a stone from the ground: "Damn it, I didn't bring anything!"

The door of the room opened, and an old lady came out and shouted to the other side of the room: "Don't be blind, Hu Can."

The meaning should be to tell the dog not to bark, but the barking of the dog did not stop. The old lady wobbled a few steps towards us and asked, "Who are you?"

I signaled the fat man to throw the stone away, then walked over and said, "Auntie, we came to play on the mountain, we got a little lost, so we came here."

The old lady looked at the three of us for a while, and said: "Oh, you go back the same way, and when you get to that fork, you can go down the mountain by taking another road."

I hurriedly asked, "Auntie, is this a square?"

The old lady nodded: "That's right, Renzu Mountain Renzu Mountain, look for the roots and ask the ancestors, the big boss built it for sacrifice."

The fat man also came over: "Auntie, do you live here by yourself?"

The old lady smiled and talked very well: "My wife and I have lived in this mountain for decades. The big boss wants to build a sacrificial square here, and my wife and I are watching the scene here. If you want to go up Just go and have a look, the building is huge.”

The big boss she mentioned should be Boss Zheng, but we haven't heard Boss Zheng mention anything about the sacrificial square before.

The fat man asked: "I don't think it's finished yet. Why is there no one there?"

The old lady said: "Before the big boss ran out of money, they all stopped working. But I heard that now they have got money again, and they can continue to repair after a while."

After hearing what the old lady said, and thinking about Boss Zheng's attitude towards us, I suddenly realized that the development of this place must be a very expensive project, and Xiaohua should have invested in Boss Zheng.

The fat man continued to ask, "Where's your wife?"

"Just now I got a call and said that two young people were wandering around and lost their way. The old man went to help find them. Hey, he's back." The old lady went back to the house after speaking.

I turned around and saw that there was an old man coming from the south side of the square.

The old man was obviously taken aback when he saw us, then walked over and said, "Who are you?"

I repeated what I just said to the old lady, and the old man nodded with his eyes narrowed: "I saw the car, and thought Boss Zheng was coming up, but it turned out to be Boss Zheng's guest. You call me Old Li Tou That's fine, since you are Boss Zheng's guest, let's go to the square. It's just that it hasn't been built yet, it just laid a foundation."

The fat man asked: "I heard that someone got lost, did you find it?"

Old Li nodded his head: "I found it, the two young people are exploring, and they got lost. It's not uncommon to see this in these years."

I touched my nose with a guilty conscience, but in fact we are similar to those two people.

The dog was still barking, and I asked, "Do you have a dog here?"

Old Li pointed to the side of the house: "I have a wolf dog for the occasion." After finishing speaking, Old Li yelled at that side, and the wolf dog quieted down.

I nodded and said, "Then let's go up to the square and take a look around, you can rest."

Old Li waved his hand at us and went back to the house by himself.

I went to the square with Pokyouping and the fat man, and found that there is a circular area in the center of the platform of this square, the diameter is about a quarter of the square base, it is just a circle, obviously there is something missing built.

The fat man muttered: "The sky is round and the earth is round, the top is round and the bottom is round."

After we walked over, we realized that there was a well in the middle.It is said to be a well, but there is no well platform. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a circular pit.There is water in it, and it looks black like the well in front of Fuxi Temple.

Poker Bottle suddenly said, "It's inside."

The fat man immediately became nervous: "What?"

I looked at the black water and said, "Snake, a black snake."

I am very sensitive to creatures like snakes. Although I haven't seen them, I can feel that there is a black snake in this well, a black snake that is dying.

Poker-Face looked in the direction of Nuwa Temple and said, "The dumbbells around Renzu Temple are to trap this black snake."

The fat man wondered: "The Renzu Temple is so far away, can it be trapped?"

I said, "That well, the well at the gate of Fuxi Temple, is connected to this one."

Poker-Face nodded: "There are mountain springs in the mountains of Renzu Mountain, and this snake lives in the water."

The fat man scratched his chin: "This black snake, isn't it a good thing? Who trapped it here?"

I looked at the water in the well, hesitating whether to read the pheromones of the black snake, but Pokerfoil suddenly put his hand on my shoulder and shook his head at me.I know he's worried about me and doesn't want me to do it again.

"Then go talk to Old Li again." I smiled at him, "I can't help it, I've come here, I'm not happy if I don't know."

Poker bottle didn't speak, but I seemed to see Chong Ni in his eyes, and the fat man on the side clapped his hands: "Let's go!"

As soon as we turned around, we saw Old Li head walking towards the square. We watched him come to us, staring at the well and not moving.

The fat man rolled his eyes, took out a cigarette and handed it to Old Li, who waved his hand, and the fat man put the cigarette away, and it happened that Old Li did not smoke, although the fat man had a cigarette on him, but no fire , Bringing cigarettes is purely for fun.

The fat man asked, "Master, how old are you?"

"81."

"What about your children?"

Old Li said, "I used to have a son, but he disappeared later."

The fat man hurriedly made amends, and Old Li waved his hand: "It's okay, at my age, you can ignore everything."

The fat man wanted to say something, but Old Li said, "Okay, don't go around in circles, I know what you want to ask. I just talked to Boss Zheng on the phone, and he said he can tell you."

I secretly thought, Boss Zheng did not tell us something on purpose.

The fat man smiled sheepishly: "Then tell us about the Renzu Temple, the sacrificial square, and the black snake?"

Old Li sighed: "You really saw that black snake."

[08] Black Snake Life and Death

In the spring of 1984, in a certain village at the foot of a certain mountain in Renzu Mountain, a man surnamed Jin made a lot of money by opening a coal mine. The village can also easily go outside.

This was a good thing, but something bad happened when the road was being built.

When a young guy drove an excavator to a certain place, he went down with a bucket and dug out seven black snakes more than one meter long with muddy water.Everyone around was frightened and ran away, only the young man who drove the excavator seemed to be frightened stupidly, and stayed motionless in the driver's seat.

I don't know if it's because the seven snakes stayed underground for too long, so they were a little unresponsive. There were four snakes that turned over and fell directly from the bucket back into the soil on the ground, and then rolled and burrowed into the ground again; The snake was entangled in the bucket, as if it couldn't find a way out; there was only one black snake, crawling along the mechanical arm of the excavator to the driver's seat.

The young man watched the black snake getting closer and closer to him. Seeing that the black snake was about to pounce on the young man's face, a middle-aged man rushed over and hit the black snake seven inches away with a shovel.The black snake was quite nimble, twisted a few times before falling to the ground, and then ran away.The two snakes in the bucket seemed to have sensed the danger, and they also fell directly from the bucket and disappeared into the mud.

Old Li was that middle-aged man, and he was also the contractor of the road construction team.And that young man is his son who just turned [-], nicknamed Li Er.

Old Li Tou was the latest to marry in the village, and he didn't have his son until he was 30 years old.No one in the village went to school. Li started to learn technology and engage in engineering with Lao Litou when he was 24 years old.When Boss Jin paid for the road construction, Old Li happily took over the job.

Originally, this was considered an accident, and the project continued as usual, but Li Er was so frightened that he suddenly fell ill.Old Litou has always been a serious and responsible person. He asked a doctor to prescribe medicine for Li Er to recuperate at home, and let his wife take care of him. He still went to the project every day.

Li Er's illness recovered quickly, but he refused to leave the house again.Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Although Li Er was not bitten by a black snake, he was really scared
