I climb the fairy ladder by farming

In the morning when it was almost late autumn, the fog was thick, and the breeze was wrapped in a trace of coldness, brushing the cheeks of passers-by on the road.

The high-pitched and sharp crowing of the rooster pierced through the misty sky, waking up the peaceful morning of the village, and the smoke from the cooking was curled up, circling and disappearing into the mist.

In every household, the women were busy cooking rice and porridge to prepare breakfast for the family, and the children hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of food, and trotted all the way to the private school with their school books in their arms.

A familiar figure appeared in his eyes, wearing a gray-blue kudzu dress, with a jade face and snow skin, eyebrows like lying on a distant mountain, eyes like water waves, tall and slender, with a delicate female appearance, but with a manly demeanor .

Huo Miaomiao's eyes lit up, she waved her arms high, and shouted, "Sister Zhang Zheng, hurry up! You're going to be late too!"

The immature child's voice called Zhang Zheng out of his stupor, she turned her head to look at Huo Miaomiao who couldn't stop waving at her, the corners of her lips raised, and she replied, "I won't go to school today."

She squinted her eyes and glanced at the children who had already run away, "If you don't catch up quickly, you will really be scolded by your husband."

"what?"

Huo Miaomiao exclaimed in envy and doubt, and then saw the little friend who had left her behind and ran away on his own, his heart beat faster, he didn't care to say goodbye to Zhang Zheng, and hurried to catch up.

The figures of the children slowly moved away, the arc of Zhang Zheng's mouth gradually became flatter, and his gentle eyes were gradually covered by the coldness of the morning.

In the morning, the husband packed up the books, pens and ink for school, and suddenly stopped her, saying that he would give her a day off.

What Mr. Zhang Zhengsiji said at that time was inexplicable and unpredictable.

"I dreamed of a white bird last night. The white bird cried to me. It said that it had become a cage bird in the prince's mansion. It was not what it wanted. It would rather die in a flight that never stops."

"What the white bird longs for is the freedom of the mountains, the sea, and the sea. The prince who gave it a golden and jade cage is really too self-righteous."

Zhang Zheng was holding a porridge bowl, gulping down a few gulps of the warm porridge, and when he heard the words, he didn't understand, so he nodded in agreement.

The gentleman smiled brightly, "Okay, don't worry, I will give you a day off today, and pray for the blessings of the ancestral land. You can go and have a look with the village chief."

"Ah?" Zhang Zheng paused in the air with the hand that was about to pick up the scroll, and suddenly looked at Mr., "Shall I go to the ancestral land to pray for blessings?"

"What are you thinking about!" The husband laughed and teased her softly, "Of course the village chief prayed for blessings. You regretted not seeing the dark river the past two days. Let's follow the village chief to see him today."

Zhang Zheng was stunned for a moment and didn't answer. She thought the ancestral land was an important forbidden area in the village. Why did the husband agree to let her in so easily?
The husband didn't care about her strangeness, walked to the door, turned around and urged: "The village chief Chenshi is leaving now, if you want to see for yourself the uncanny workmanship that created the dark river, then go quickly, don't delay."

No matter what the husband thinks, this is not a bad thing for her, and those who make a forcible break-in will not feel comfortable going forward.

Zhang Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, thank you sir, I'll go now."

There was still a quarter of an hour before Chen Shi, and Zhang Zheng came back from his memories, and hurried to the village chief's residence.

"Hey, isn't this the village girl of Weili, where are you going in a hurry?"

Zhang Zheng stopped and looked directly at the pair of triangular eyes of the male cultivator in front of him. The ordinary face had compact features, with too much white space, and the pair of triangular eyes were small and strange.

The appearance is born from the heart, which is exactly the right description to describe him.If you are narrow-minded and self-righteous, your facial features will also be narrow.

How dare an ordinary village girl look at him so directly!
Hu Ke stared fiercely, and cursed: "What are you looking at, what are you! Am I someone you can look at? A contemptible scumbag."

Being scolded like this, Zhang Zheng couldn't feel any anger. After staying in this peaceful and quiet village for a long time, and getting along with Mr. Wen Liang every day, his temper gradually became gentle.

Zhang Zheng didn't make any rebuttals, and looked away from him.

Hu Ke only thought that she was afraid, so he looked very proud, and commanded arrogantly, "Take me to the ancestral hall in your village."

"The ancestral hall is not something you can go to."

"What did you say? I can't go anywhere! Your village chief said that you should do your best to be a landlord. What's the matter, you can't even go to a ruined ancestral hall?"

Seeing his obsessive and persistent appearance, Zhang Zheng already guessed that Yi Lanshan must have disclosed the ancestral hall to them, but they should also be suspicious, so they sent someone to deliberately test it out.

Zhang Zheng patiently refused, but his gentle gaze was already frosty, "Sorry, it's really inconvenient for outsiders to enter and exit the ancestral hall."

After all, Zhang Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and left the place quickly, leaving only Hu Ke behind to curse.

"Who cares about breaking down the ancestral hall, begging me to go is not willing to go."

Zhang Zheng couldn't hear what was said later, so she hurried to the village chief's residence, and happened to meet the village chief coming out of the house.

The village head greeted cheerfully: "Hey, girl Zhang is here! Let's go, sir told me, I will take you to the ancestral land to see the dark river today."

Zhang Zheng followed the village chief, followed him around his residence for half a circle, and saw a low black brick house with white cloth hanging on both sides of the door, hanging in the air.

The ancestral hall was built obliquely behind the village head's residence. Zhang Zheng rarely saw people pass by here. At first, he thought it was the village head's low house where he piled up debris, but later he found out that it was the village's ancestral hall.

As the wooden door was pushed open, the nascent sunlight entered the dark and dull ancestral hall, and the inside could be seen at a glance.

There is a large mahogany table on the innermost side, on which there is only a tablet for the god, and the red silk cloth covers the front of the god, there is only the main niche, and there is no shadow of the supporting niche.

In addition to the main niche in a normal ancestral hall, side niches should also be placed on the left and right to enshrine ancestors other than the first ancestor.

How can a village that values ​​etiquette ignore such important common sense of etiquette? Zhang Zheng's doubts deepened.

But now is not the time to explore these things, Zhang Zheng turned his attention to the village head, and carefully engraved all his movements in his mind.

In the meantime, the village head clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, bowed three times to the tablet of the god, and groped around the main niche respectfully a few times.

"rumble……"

Under the large mahogany table suddenly appeared a secret passage that could allow two grown men to pass through at the same time.

The stone ladder goes all the way down, the slope is steep, and it extends to the dark and dark ground, which makes people feel flustered when they look at it, as if they will fall into the bottomless abyss if they step on the air.

The village head turned around and waved to her, "Miss Zhang, come and worship the Lord God."

Zhang Zheng withdrew his eyes from looking at the secret passage, took two steps forward respectfully, imitated the village chief's movement, clasped his hands together, and bowed three times, but his mind was extremely focused on paying attention to the village chief's movements.

Until she opened her eyes, the village chief didn't do anything, but nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Let's go, with God's blessing, we can reach the ancestral land safe and sound."

After all, the village chief squatted down and got under the table, and stepped on the winding stone steps in the secret passage.

"Zhang girl, be more careful, it's better to follow me."

The head of the village head had been hidden in the secret passage, Zhang Zheng also squatted down, carefully stretched out one foot tentatively, stepped firmly on the ground, and then Zhang Zheng stepped on the other foot.

The figure of the village head was two or three stone steps below her, talking to Zhang Zheng while walking down with a smile.

"What's the matter, is Zhang girl afraid? I followed the previous village head to pray for blessings. The first time I stepped on this ladder, my feet were so weak that I almost rolled down with the village head."

Speaking of this, the village chief laughed again and again.
