Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Qingyan once followed her mother to a place called Yading Village for inspection. According to the college students there, it was particularly difficult for children there to go to school. She wanted to ask her mother's foundation to build a Hope Primary School there.

Most people in that place live in the mountains, and even the road to the county seat is not easy to walk. After getting off the train, you have to get a car and walk for more than half an hour to get there.

Going to the cliff top village is even more troublesome. Not only do you have to walk for more than an hour on a mountain road, but you also have to climb a cliff that is almost [-] meters straight up and down. The village is on the top of the mountain above the cliff.

Every time they want to come down, they have to climb straight up and down the cliff. Their legs feel weak when they look down there. Thinking about those people who come down and go back every day, they are really risking their lives every day.

It is impossible for a smaller child to climb alone, so almost all children do not leave the village.

At that time, they also wanted to persuade those people to move down the mountain, but those people were unwilling. They had become accustomed to living there for many years and did not want to leave their homeland.

But in this case, it would be difficult to build the primary school. It would definitely not be built on the top of the mountain. The two of them were very talented and brave, and their legs were weak after climbing back and forth. The construction workers and materials could not climb up at all.

After that, I contacted the local government and built a school in a village at the foot of the mountain. This way, I could save at least an hour of walking on the mountain road and just climb the cliff.

We also invested some money to build a safety ladder on the cliff using steel pipes, which was at least much safer than the wooden ladder we climbed before.

Many suspended platforms and guardrails were also built along the way, with sheds on them. When the weather is bad, there is a place to rest along the way.

As for Little Hope Primary School, there is really nothing they can do. Even if it was built for them on the top of the mountain, the teachers are not willing to go.

As for their local children, as long as they pass the exam, no matter how high the salary is, they don't want to go back there to teach, so they all stay in the big cities.

Although the conditions here are not that difficult, transportation in ancient times was backward and a trip took longer. If the children were young, they would not be able to leave their parents and family for a long time.

We can only wait until the child is older and has the ability to take care of himself before sending him to a school for accommodation.

After talking for a while, Sister-in-law Zhang took Zhang Chunhua to the cave next door to clean up. They had to clean up first and burn the kang, which would be difficult to do after dark.

Qingyan went to help, but was stopped by the two people, so she had to take her four children and have money to play.

First, he went out to the yard to unload the car from the big bear. Fortunately, Zhang Mancang's house had a shed for livestock. It was used to raise sheep. Sister Zhang was the only one at home and couldn't take care of it, so she stopped raising it.

Later, it was used to store firewood and sundries. Occasionally, cattle or donkeys would be put in there when driving back.

Now was the time to arrange the big bear. Qingyan took it in, put water and hay in it, and touched its head to comfort it.

Seeing Youqian playing with the four children in the yard, Qingyan took the opportunity to ask Chou Chou to put bedding and clothes in the basket behind the car, as well as some fruits and snacks.

The fruit is persimmon. If you have eaten it before, you can take it out.

The snacks were bought in Yunling County before. They were not very delicious, so they were kept in the space.

Four children were called over, and one child was given a snack and a persimmon, and even the rich were given a share.

During the meal, she felt that these children were very restrained in eating and did not gorge themselves like children who had finally eaten meat, so she felt that they were not full.

The children started to put their little hands behind their backs and refused to take it. It was not until they saw that the money was already eaten that they took it shyly.

But they didn't eat, but wanted to go to the house to give it to their mother. Qingyan stopped them and said, "I still have some in my hand. They also have some to eat. Just eat it yourself."

Only then did these children eat the snacks in their hands.

Qingyan feels that these children are really born to repay kindness. Knowing how to be filial to their parents at such a young age is really hurtful.

Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, she took the rest into the house and placed it directly on the dining table that had just been cleared.

The two aunts and sisters are cleaning it up there right now, and it’s too dusty to eat. You can eat it after a while.

Then take off the carbon stove in the car and pour the carbon ash inside into a pit in the yard specially designed for ash.

The pond is almost full and should be used as fertilizer next year.

He also took out the sheepskin quilt inside, shook it and put it back. He asked Chou Chou to put another set of sheepskin quilts in the back of the car. If their quilts were not enough, they could take them out for use.

After all, every family is in difficulty at this time, and even if the bedding is in good condition, there may not be enough extra.

Sister-in-law Zhang usually cleans up the cave dwelling. She just sweeps the fire bed clean and then burns it, so it didn't take long, only more than half an hour, for the two of them to come out.

As soon as I came out, I saw my children each holding a persimmon in their hands and chewing on it. They had finished the snacks and were now eating the persimmon.

At a glance, he knew it was from Qingyan, so he hurriedly said, "It would be great if you kept this good food for the road. These children won't be able to eat well."

Qingyan smiled and waved her hands, "I'm almost tired of eating this. When I passed by the mountains before, I came across a few persimmon trees. I picked them from that tree. After covering them for a while, they were so sweet. In the house Also, you guys should try it too.”

After saying that, he followed the two of them into the cave where they had eaten before, walked to the table, picked up two persimmons and stuffed one into each of their hands.

When I saw Zhang Mancang who had just come in from chopping firewood, I also stuffed one for him.

He also picked one up, bit off a small opening in the skin and started to slurp on it.

Seeing this, the three of them also started eating together, nodding their heads as they ate, the persimmons were indeed very sweet.

Sister-in-law Zhang swallowed the persimmon in her mouth and said: "We originally planted a persimmon tree in our yard, but the fruit we picked was small and astringent. After eating it, I couldn't even bend my tongue. Later, I just built a shed. Cut it down to save space in the yard."

Qingyan: "I heard from my dad that you can't eat persimmons directly after picking them from the tree. They will be very astringent, even if they look very yellow and ripe. It's best to eat them with apples or pears after you pick them." If you put them together in a jar for a while, the astringent taste will disappear, and the fragrance of apples and pears will remain.

Several people were surprised when they heard this. It turns out that there is such a saying. They have never heard of it. Most of these persimmons are either used to make sauce or to dry persimmon cakes, which has less astringency and is easier to store.

I didn't expect that I would have to cover it with other fruits. They do have apples here. They are not difficult to find. There are many in the mountains during the season and they are also sold in the town.

After each person finished eating a cold persimmon, it was getting dark. After calling the children in, Qingyan, Zhang Chunhua and her daughter went to another cave dwelling.

Originally, the cave dwelling was warm in winter and cool in summer, and with the kang burning, it was warm as soon as you entered.

There is a layer of straw mat on the kang, and a layer of quilt on top. There are two quilts, which look quite thick.The four of them couldn't sleep on the two quilts, so they were definitely a little cramped.

Qingyan simply went out and took down the bedding from the car and spread it on the kang. Fortunately, the kang was quite wide, so it was no problem to sleep four or five people.

Zhang Chunhua: "Sister Yang, don't go to the end of the kang. It's warmer at the top."

Qingyan shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold. It's easy to get angry when sleeping on the kang, so you should stay closer to avoid discomfort."

Zhang Chunhua: "I can't blame my throat for always feeling uncomfortable during confinement. I guess it was because it was too hot to sleep on the kang."

As he said that, he moved the quilts to the middle, farther away from the head of the kang.

The four of them, one, two, the elder, and two the younger, took a shower, and the two children were put on the kang first, lying on the edge of the kang, waving to Youqian, who stood unmoved at Qingyan's feet.

Zhang Chunhua said a little strangely: "Don't all cats like to jump on the bed? Why not go up if you have money?"

Qingyan smiled and said: "It is waiting for me to wipe its paws. This is the rule I have set. You are not allowed to go to bed if you are not clean."

Zhang Chunhua said curiously while wiping her feet: "Oh, rich cats are really obedient and love to be clean. Other cats are not so obedient. They just do whatever they feel comfortable with."

Qingyan took out the two cloth towels only used for money from the bag, wetted one, wiped the fur on its body first, then picked it up and wiped its four paws clean. There was a lot of dust outside, and it followed the four The child ran away in the wind and got a lot of dust on his body.

After a while, I washed a basin of gray soup, then wiped it dry with a dry cloth, and patted its fat butt, "You really like clay, look at this dirty water, you can even write."

Youqian turned his head and yelled at her twice with an aggrieved look on his face.

Qingyan rubbed it funny and then put it on the kang.

Richie immediately ran between the two little girls, and the three little guys got into trouble again.

When Qingyan put down her quilt, she also took the opportunity to touch the other two quilts. They were quite thick. The inside was not like the hay and reeds used by poor people. It felt like wool. Although it was a bit hard, it had a good warmth-keeping effect. It's still ok.

Plus the kang is hot, so it should be fine at night.

Zhang Chunhua and his wife have suffered a lot in the past few days. The two younger ones slept together with their mother, and Zhang Chunhua even huddled in the corner to make do. Now sleeping on the fire kang, she feels very comfortable. He let out a long breath.

It can be said that I have been frightened these past few days. Now that I am in a place I trust, I fall asleep almost instantly and fall asleep as soon as I touch the pillow.

Richie slept in Xiaoman's arms at first, and when she fell asleep, he quietly crawled out and got into Qingyan's bed.

After tugging on her arm twice, Qingyan stretched out her arm angrily and amusedly, and her big furry head rested on her arm.

Qingyan naturally reached out and hugged the hot fur ball, but she couldn't fall asleep for a while.

Although I seemed to have done a lot this day, I actually didn’t feel too tired, so I was in good spirits.

She was still waiting for Chou Chou to find something, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

She was a little afraid of gods and ghosts before, but after experiencing what happened in Qinian Village, she felt that ghosts were actually nothing to be afraid of, at least they were completely incapable of fighting against Chou Chou.

Now, not only am I not scared at all when I hear about ghosts, I am even a little excited.

"Chou Chou, how is the situation over there? Have you discovered anything? Are there really ghosts?"

She directly sent a message to Chou Chou.

Chou Chou replied almost instantly: "No, it's probably not a ghost. If there is any ghost, I should be able to sense it.

There is no evil spirit or ghost energy there. Unless its Taoism is stronger than mine, there is no way I can't sense it.

I didn't find any large beasts on the mountain, and I suspected that they were man-made. "

Qingyan said with some confusion: "Human? Are you saying that someone killed those children and took out their hearts?

That man killed so many children, didn't he have some resentment in him? "

Chou Chou: "No, children's souls are very pure. If they are killed when they are ignorant and unaware, there will be no resentment.

The reason why ghosts have resentment is because they remember their hatred but cannot avenge it, so they develop obsessions and slowly accumulate into resentment.

The reason why many evil cultivators like to do things to children is because their souls are relatively pure and have little understanding. If they are not tortured and killed, they will not be resentful. They only bear responsibility for the cause and effect, and are not afraid that they will become evil ghosts and come back for revenge.

It is very difficult to make children become evil ghosts. "

Qingyan: "Then the so-called evil cultivators in Shanggang Village did it? No matter how perverted ordinary people are, they don't need to take out the hearts and minds of children. Could it be that evil cultivators use children's hearts and livers to make medicine? , or refining something evil?"

Chou Chou nodded in the space, "It is also possible, but if that is the case, the evil cultivator may be nearby, but if he doesn't take action, I can't find him through my spiritual consciousness.

There are a lot of people around here, so we can’t look for them one by one. Now it’s time to see if he will take action again. I keep my consciousness and keep an eye on that area, especially on the mountain behind Shanggang Village. Since now I only have I heard there is a problem over there, so let's see if they will continue to commit crimes. "

Qingyan: "Has the eminent monk from Lingguang Temple left? I heard it's very effective. Maybe he knows something."

Chou Chou: "I haven't seen any monks in the village. They must have left."

Qingyan was right when she thought about it. The other party had already given the method, and the grave with roots had been moved there. There had been no accidents in the past few days. Shanggang Village should have felt that this had the effect and would not leave the eminent monk there any longer. .

However, Qingyan always felt a little strange, as if something was wrong.

If a monk encounters a ghost causing trouble, shouldn't he be able to save him and reincarnate him, or use a magic weapon to destroy him?
How could you find someone who was born in the yang year, yang month, and yang hour to stay there? This argument does not mean that it is impossible. Sufficient yang energy can indeed defeat ghosts and monsters.

But the birth date and horoscope should only be used while alive. After death and becoming a ghost, can it still be used?
Ghosts are all yin, how can there be any discussion of yang ghosts?Anyway, she couldn't figure this out...
