Xu Bo'an was still showing knowledge about traffic safety to these little people. When he sensed the call, he didn't care so much. It is important to popularize safety knowledge to the little people, but it is also very important to open up new bases. Otherwise, he will miss it once. I wonder if I can activate it next time!
We, Lao Xu, have always been people with pursuits. Of course, the more sub-bases, the better. Besides, the little people are watching the videos with great interest, so let them watch it for themselves first, and just treat it like it is Let’s spend the summer having fun and watching movies. It won't be anything big anyway.
Although the summoning induction this time is very weak, it is estimated to be a small temple gate.
Normally speaking, although such a small place may obtain incense and aspiration power, it will definitely not be as much as a large temple.
However, based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, Xu Boan quickly came to the mountain temple out of curiosity.
In the main hall of the mountain temple, there were indeed two bubbles hanging high in the air. Xu Boan looked at the smaller bubble, screened it again and again, and concluded that the content in the bubble was indeed a scene he had never seen before. .
Looking carefully, this place is covered with spider webs, the doors and windows are broken, and there are crowds of people in front of you.
The scene in the bubble is like a place surrounded by mountains, with an open space in the middle, and some little people are praying.
Xu Boan's consciousness flashed, and he came to the statue... Let me go, where is the statue! Xu Bo'an had just come over, and before he noticed where he was, he felt a sense of embarrassment intuitively.
This is not like the few mountain temples Xu Bo'an visited before. Not only is the space large, but the statues are also tall. , with a mighty look, it looks very majestic and intimidating.
At the moment, this place seems to be just a simple small house, like a place that was barely built with stones in the early years. The place where the statues are placed is only... there is only a pile of boulders placed with a pile of stones, and the front is crooked. The words "Grandpa Mountain God, Grandma Mountain God" are written on them.
Good guy, I even saved the statues and replaced them with piles of stones. It’s quite a saving!
Even the statues of the gods are left, so you can imagine the size and scale of the temple!
This place is just a simple small pavilion, without even an inner hall or courtyard wall. It is exactly like a small temple at the entrance of a village!
The so-called small roof can only simply cover the statue of the god and the small incense burner. If people want to gather here, they have to stand in the open space in front of them.
Xu Boyan looked around and saw dozens of little people wearing ethnic minority costumes, neatly arranged in a square shape, and everyone was kneeling down,
< br>The man in the lead is a tall but skinny young man with dark skin. He looks like the result of working outdoors for a long time. He wears a handmade hat on his head with a very wide brim, which is used to cover the grassland areas. Strong sunshine and wind and rain.
His hair is thick and curly, like black flames jumping above his head. Tied casually behind the head, it looks free and uninhibited.
His beard is like a black waterfall, extending from his chin to his neck, adding a bit of mystery to him.
He was wearing a yellowish white robe that looked like it was made of hand-woven wool. The collar and cuffs of the robe were embroidered with exquisite strange patterns.
These patterns are not only bright in color, but also very smooth in lines, full of the unique charm of national culture.
Around his waist, there is also a wide belt with copper buckle-like decorations, which not only serves as a decoration, but also highlights his rough and heroic temperament,
I saw that his feet were wearing self-made sheepskin boots. These boots are waterproof and can withstand long-term wear and tear, and are very suitable for walking in mountainous areas
However, Xu Boan looked carefully and found that only this man was the leader. People with standing collar styles have relatively complete clothes and shoes.
Those people standing behind the man were dressed similarly to the leader.
But most of them were skinny and skinny, and many of them even wore straw sandals or were barefoot, completely unlike the strong man at the head.
Look at the endless green plain in the distance!
Xu Bo'an was surprised.
Hey, what's going on? This place looks like a grassland. Aren’t we mountain gods? This place on the grassland must be a land temple!
It’s just that this grassland is different from the grasslands Xu Boan has seen in the past. The grassland in Xu Boan’s impression is a sea of green vegetation, with horses galloping freely in the green sea.
But the grassland in front of us is a completely different scene. The green ocean in the distance has turned into withered yellow, and some sparse sheep and horses also look listless.
Passing by Xu Boan After looking at it carefully, I guessed that this should be a bit like the people living in the backward mountains.
While Xu Boyan was looking at it, a voice sounded,
"Grandpa Mountain God, here you go. The people of Cuiyun Mountain suffered from an earthquake the year before last, and the water veins were broken due to the abnormality of heaven and earth. In recent days, they have suffered from drought. The pastures have died and the livestock have no fodder to eat, resulting in the death of some livestock.
Now. In the village, people are either hungry or terminally ill. Some elderly people and very young children are dying due to poor immunity. Some even starve to death or die of illness.
Everyone who can move in the village is now dead. Here, when we were exchanging goods, I heard that a mountain god grandpa appeared in our Yushan area. We all had no choice, so we wanted to try our luck and beg the mountain god to save us. "
Xu Bo'an was quite surprised when he heard the leader's words.
How was he able to activate the mountain temple?
Originally in Hongya Village, it was because Wang Guifen was his believer that he had such ability. Xu Boan always thought so.
But Xu Boan was already surprised by Duan Xiaoshan's summons from the Duan family not long ago.
Now the people in this ancient tribe-like village can actually summon and communicate with themselves. What is the reason for this?
As the man's words fell, the people behind him also shouted, "please the mountain god also save us", and then there was a burst of kowtows.
Xu Bo'an saw it. Here, although I still don’t understand the reason for this, even if I have the responsibility and mission to save the people,
Being an official and not making decisions for the people is worse than going home and selling sweet potatoes.
The same goes for being a mountain god!
No
Although Xu Boan felt very sympathetic after hearing the sufferings of these people caused by natural disasters, he, who was regarded as the mountain god grandfather, first sorted out his inner emotions before He said majestically, "Where...is this place?"
Hearing Xu Bo'an's voice, the people kneeling on the ground opened their eyes like bells and opened their mouths as if they could swallow a whole meal. The whole big egg was stunned. This expression lasted for dozens of seconds.
Then they reacted. At this time, the kneeling people seemed to have a brilliant light bursting out of the sky, turning their original frowning faces away. His appearance changed instantly,
his face showed a surprise and excited smile, and tears flowed from his eyes, which were tears of excitement.
The leading man exclaimed: "Did you hear it? Did you hear it? Grandpa Mountain God has appeared. Has Grandpa Mountain God really appeared?"
Then he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Grandpa Mountain God is up here. It's the boundary of Cuiyun Mountain."
Xu Bo'an asked in confusion: "Cuiyun Mountain? Is Cuiyun Mountain far away from Yushan and Shanyang County?" When Grandpa Mountain God asked him, the leader looked happy and excited, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.
He took a deep breath, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and began to speak: "You are really the Grandpa of the Mountain God of Yushan. It's really great. It's really you. ! Cuiyun Mountain is also part of the Yushan Mountains, one of the thirty-two peaks of Yushan. The place we are at is called Cuigu, which is a valley bottom. In the early years, there was an artificial lake where groundwater came out. The weather is good, the harvest is abundant, there are flocks of cattle and sheep, and there are no taxes to pay. Everyone is very contented.
But this drought is really too serious. The fields here have long been dry and the rivers are full. The flow of water has stopped, and even livestock can hardly survive. People have no water to drink, no food to eat, and their lives have fallen into despair. We once sent people out of the mountains to ask for help, but the journey was long and blocked by bandits, especially in recent days. I heard that the outside rebels were in rebellion, so our people have not been able to get out smoothly."
"Oh? Why don't you pay taxes?" Xu Bo'an asked curiously.
The man proudly introduced: "Our place in Cuiyun Mountain is located at the junction of Shanyang County and Lingyang County. They are under the jurisdiction of different governments. Because the location is remote and deep in the mountains, Here, the alleys are quite inconvenient to walk, so the officials are too lazy to come.”
After hearing the man’s introduction, Xu Bo’an realized that this place turned out to be a no-nonsense area. No wonder no one came to collect tax money!
And these people are not good at first glance. In all likelihood, before the disaster comes, they are also a group that can conquer and fight well.
Those few temporary workers in the county government are willing to risk their lives to compete with these people, then they are risking their lives!
So, there is no tax required here, which is very reasonable!
Xu Boan asked again: "You just said that when you were exchanging goods, you heard that a mountain god appeared in the Yushan area! Who mentioned this?"
The man hurriedly said: "When it comes to Grandpa Mountain God, the common people don't know the other person's name. They just heard that person's companions call him "General Manager Yan", so he must be an official."
General Manager Yan?
Isn’t this the title of Yan Shouyi, the former Shanyang Order?
Isn’t he going to Qingmu Mansion to take up a post? How come he hasn’t left Wushan Mountain after being gone for a few days?
And what is the IQ of the servant who follows him? He has already made it clear that he wants to be promoted. You still call him the old job title when he was at a low level. You are not good at chatting!
This kind of person is in the workplace and doesn’t even know what’s going on when someone wears a pair of shoes!
Xu Boan said in a deep voice: "When did this person exchange things with you!"
The man replied: "Not long ago, Grandpa Mountain God, did you know this strict boss?"
Xu Bo'an did not answer the man's question, but instead said: "You exchanged things, what did you exchange? "What did we exchange for?"
The man said hurriedly: "Originally we planned to exchange some water, rice and noodles and other food, but the other party refused to exchange water with us. The other party said that their water It’s not enough, so we only changed to some simple food!”
While talking, the man opened some bags beside him, and Xu Boan saw some cereal-like things, like Sorghum rice is generally red.
Although Xu Bo'an didn't know what these were, there was no doubt that they were coarse grains.
In the real world where Xu Boan lives, coarse grains are a good thing.
But in this barren and backward place, people still want to eat some fine grains. For these coarse grains, people just reluctantly choose them to eat.
Xu Boan asked again: "Then how did you know the news about the appearance of the mountain god from him?"
The man said with emotion: "This official saw our miserable appearance , also wanted to help us, but he said that there was nothing he could do for the time being, and there was no good way.
But he knew that in some villages in Shanyang County, Grandpa Mountain God appeared, and in that village, Grandpa Mountain God appeared. Under the care of you, you don’t have to worry about food and drink, and you don’t have to worry about trouble. It’s like being in a paradise!
He asked us to try to think of a solution, and also gave us some incense to worship Grandpa Mountain God. Because the official was in a hurry, he left quickly. Unexpectedly, we were really lucky to meet Grandpa Mountain God! "
Xu Bo'an nodded slightly, Yan Shouyi is really a warm-hearted and soft-hearted person.
Compassion does not control the army, justice does not amass wealth, and benevolence does not engage in politics. Being good at business, Yan Shouyi didn't fall into the trap at all!
He even considered the incense that was needed. He was just feeding these people.
He Yan Shouyi had nothing to do with it. We, Mr. Xu, are not without kindness.
Xu Boan immediately waved his hand, and saw a gust of cool breeze blowing through, bringing a ray of breeze to the hot and dry place. Those who were kneeling here were already here. People with chapped lips and pale faces suddenly felt a comfortable breeze and felt a lot better.
Xu Boan didn't waste any more nonsense, and immediately returned to the real world and took out a piece of hand-shredded bread, and then opened it. After wrapping the bread, he twisted it hard with both hands and tore some of the bread into pieces. Then he sent it through the mountain temple and brought food to the people in Cuigu
As soon as Xu Bo'an's hand-shredded bread appeared, many people moved their noses, obviously smelling the aroma of the bread.
"Is this?" What a smell, it smells great! ”
“It smells so good. I have never smelled such a sweet and delicious smell. ”
"Me too, where does this smell come from!"
"Idiot, didn't you hear what Grandpa Mountain God said? This thing that tastes so good must be rewarded to us by Grandpa Mountain God."
"Don't talk nonsense, lower your head quickly, raise your head and talk nonsense, but it is disrespectful to the gods!"
The leading man sternly shouted, then kowtowed three times and said: "Cuigu people, thank Grandpa Mountain God for giving us food and bringing us new life!"
Then he inserted a lit incense stick into the small incense burner.
For a moment, Xu Boan felt a sense of relief coming from him, and Xu Boan was dumbfounded.
So much incense and willingness? (End of this chapter)
