most charming

The villagers in Qingsong Village are very warm and hospitable. After getting acquainted with the film crew, they all helped out for free during the filming.

Of course, many villagers also took this opportunity to watch the filming process of the movie.

Although Qingsong Village is hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, since it can communicate with the outside world, there must be modern products in the village, such as televisions and telephones.

It's just that they are all black and white color TVs, and even the telephones are old-fashioned rotary dials. It feels like living in the 80s.

There is no school in the village, only a private school. Village head Ouyang is in charge of teaching enlightenment knowledge such as "Di Zi Gui" and "San Zi Jing", and an old man is in charge of teaching ancient Chinese.

But the villagers speak very modern, without the feeling of ancient culture.

After getting along for a few days, not only Lin Tao, but also the rest of the crew felt something different.Qingsong Village seems to be the product of the fusion of ancient thought and modern culture. The villagers are of high cultural quality. No matter male or female, poetry and songs come from their mouths. Even a child of a few years old can recite hundreds of poems.

But only Chinese studies are good, and modern science is much worse.

This kind of contradictory phenomenon used to only appear when the feudal dynasty collapsed, when Chinese and Western cultures had a huge impact on the Chinese people, but now looking at the villagers of Qingsong Village, it seems that they have traveled through time and space, and their thinking is still stuck a hundred years ago. , but had to accept new knowledge.

What's more interesting is that there is no western medicine in the village, and all the doctors sent to aid by the village were driven away by them. The reason is that they don't need it, and there are useful Chinese medicine in the village.

During the filming interval, Lin Tao went to see a Chinese medicine doctor curiously. It was an old man in his sixties, but he could not see the old man's old spirit in him.

The area of ​​the medicine hall is small, but there are quite a lot of traditional Chinese medicines in it. According to the old Chinese doctor, it is mainly due to the mountains next to the village. There are many kinds of Chinese medicinal materials in it, which are usually enough for treating diseases.

There is another point that Lin Tao is more interested in, that is, there are many ancient books that have been lost in the hands of the old Chinese medicine doctor, especially in the field of Chinese medicine. Here, just piled up in the bookshelf.

However, old Chinese medicine practitioners also have their own method of inheritance, which is to re-copy a copy every five years as a backup, which can basically ensure that the medical inheritance will not be interrupted.

The old Chinese doctor was very talkative, and he got along well with Lin Tao. When he was happy, he even took out some ancient books passed down from his elders to share with Lin Tao.

From the conversation, Lin Tao found that the people in the village were very simple and undefended at all.

But this also makes people feel strange. Since there is contact with the outside world, doesn't anyone in the village want to see the outside world?

The explanation given by the old Chinese doctor is very simple, no one wants to go out.Don't look at every household has a TV, but in fact, they can only receive one or two channels, which are local stations, and they basically don't watch them very much. People in the village prefer to read books.It can be said that the traditional culture is quite intact here.

Lin Tao began to be curious about this village, and even more curious about how Zhao Xiahong found this village. It is not closed, but few people know about it, let alone come.

"Little Lin, come and see this!"

The old Chinese doctor was in a good mood today, and turned out the bottom of the box that had been pressed for many years.

It was a map drawn on animal skin, the lines were very rough, and the direction could barely be seen.

"This is Qingsong Village, and this is the Gen Mountain next to it!"

"Old Yuan, I can identify Qingsong Village. Why is this mountain called Gen Mountain?"

The old Chinese doctor's surname is Yuan, and Lin Tao added an old character after his surname, which is also a kind of honorific title.

However, the old Chinese doctor was obviously not used to it, but he did not raise any objections.

"This is the root of our Qingsong Village. Without this mountain, our whole village would not be able to survive, so it is called Root Mountain!" Yuan Lao smiled slightly, "This map has a history of hundreds of years. Our ancestors moved here Avoiding wars everywhere, and more than a hundred years later, this thing can be considered a cultural relic according to the current view!"

"Old Yuan, you are still advancing with the times." Lin Tao laughed.

"Do you really think that the people in our Qingsong Village are all antiques? Not to mention anything else, just that old guy Ouyang, who was also a man of the day, returned to the village in middle age, and after ten years, people from the outside finally found out Once you enter the village, you establish a connection.”

"I see!" Lin Tao nodded.

"In fact, there should be many more villages like ours, but they are hidden too deep and no one can find them." Yuan Lao looked proud.

"Mr. Yuan, I have a presumptuous question. Where did the villagers of Qingsong Village come from?"

Mr. Yuan shook his head and said, "That's not clear. You should ask Ouyang, he should have a record. Several generations have passed, unless it is passed on by word of mouth, who would know?"

Lin Tao looked down at the animal skin. He seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood that had long since disappeared. He pointed at the map and asked, "Old Yuan, where is this?"

It was a black spot surrounded by a red circle near the middle of Genshan Mountain, which seemed to be used as a special warning.

Yuan Lao glanced at it and said: "That is a very old legend. It is said that there is a cave halfway up the mountain, and there is a boa constrictor that has grown into a spirit. It once caused troubles in the village, but was beaten to death by the village chief at that time. The entrance of the cave was sealed, so it was marked to prevent the villagers from going up at will."

Lin Tao let out an "oh" and didn't continue to ask.

"Xiao Lin, don't worry about it, you can't go there!" Mr. Yuan seemed to have seen Lin Tao's thoughts, and he took the initiative to persuade him.

"Old Yuan, do you think I'm such a person who doesn't understand the rules?" Lin Tao shook his head, "I'm just curious, and I definitely don't mean to find out."

Mr. Yuan nodded and said, "That's good! You are still young, so don't take any risks! Don't look at our village as poor, we dare not go to some places."

Lin Tao said: "Old Yuan, don't worry, I will not break the rules of the village."

Then Yuan Lao smiled and said: "I like children who understand the rules." After speaking, he took out a wine jar from a cabinet, opened the seal, and a strong smell mixed with medicinal fragrance radiated out.

"Come on, I think you are pleasing to the eye, and I will give you a bowl of wine!" Yuan Lao poured a bowl of wine from the jar.

The wine in the bowl was cloudy, almost earthy yellow. The homemade wine had not been purified, and with the addition of traditional Chinese medicine, it was normal for it to be cloudy.

"This is a great tonic. I dare not say it will prolong your life. At least it can help you lighten the toxins accumulated in your body. I won't give it to others!"

Lin Tao picked up the bowl and took a sip. It tasted good, so he raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

A gleam flashed in Yuan Lao's eyes, and he suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"
