Chapter Thirty-One - The Past
After hearing this, not only the expressions of the two old men beside me changed drastically, but also Xu Tian and Li Kun looked at me with surprise on their faces, with disbelief on their expressions.
Of course the two old men knew how powerful Taoist Qianshan was. If Taoist Qianshan had not rescued the two children, the entire village would have been slaughtered by flood and drought demons.
Boss Xue said: "Young man, is your grandfather really the disciple of Taoist Qianshan?"
I nodded and said: "My grandfather also mentioned to me that when he was young, he went to a village to fight against flood and drought demons. However, at that time, the Qianshan Taoist had just come down from the mountain and did not bring many magical weapons with him. Moreover, the situation was urgent at that time, and he could not prepare his formation in advance to resist the flood and drought demons.
At that time, my grandfather once said that Taoist Ganshan thought that the entire village had been destroyed by floods and droughts, but later he discovered that two children were still alive. When he learned that there were still two children alive, Taoist Ganshan He accepted both of them as his disciples, and my grandfather was the third disciple of Taoist Ganshan."
Hearing this, the two old men looked at each other, and then said: "In fact, they were not the only ones who survived at that time, we were also the two who survived. I remember that it happened about fifty years ago, that We were not very old at that time, we must have been seven or eight years old..."
It turned out that after Taoist Ganshan came that day, the two children who had been rescued by Taoist Ganshan came to see them. Boss Xue and Laoer Zhang were curious and followed them, but because of It was really late, and I was afraid, so I didn't dare to step forward.
At first, the two of them squatted on the largest willow tree in the village, but later they felt too bored and wanted to turn around and go back. However, just after they jumped off the willow tree, they heard waves of water coming from behind. Came over.
The two people looked back in surprise and saw the huge flood heading straight towards the village. Their home was at the head of the village, but the flood hit the village directly from the head of the village.
Seeing that something was not going well, the two turned around and ran away without thinking. Fortunately, the village was surrounded by mountains. The two ran to the mountain as fast as they could, but when they looked down from the mountain, By that time, I saw that the flood had engulfed the entire village, leaving only the altar in the center of the village unscathed.
The two of them were so frightened that they did not dare to go back. It was not until early the next morning that they walked back to the village.
But after returning to the village, the two found that the village was already in a mess, with house fragments and mud puddles everywhere. Their home had long since disappeared, and the entire village was covered with debris and mud puddles everywhere. Not even a body was found in the debris.
The two of them were devastated, but they were surprised to find that the footprints of two people and an adult's were left under the big tree where the other two children were. Then the two of them knew that these two people must not have been there. He died because he was saved by the Taoist monk Qianshan.
But the two of them had nowhere to go and could only seek shelter in other villages. Then the two of them began to walk aimlessly on the road. Just when they were about to starve to death, a caravan drove over. After seeing the two of them, he rescued them.
The caravan that rescued the two of them turned out to be the leading big shot in Blue River City at that time, and they were among the top richest men in Blue River City.
Boss Xue has been astute since he was a child. With his eloquence and diligent performance, he was quickly attracted by the accountant who was in charge of money, and then she accepted him as her godson. Of course, Zhang Laoer must have been working with him all the time.
Boss Xue is together.
Later, when the new government was established, relying on some connections at home, Mr. Xue and Mr. Zhang returned to their hometown and wanted to rebuild their hometown. After Mr. Xue's hard work, the department actually approved it.
Then the village began to be slowly rebuilt, and the number of people gradually increased. Until now, Boss Xue is still the village chief of Qianshan Village, and Zhang Laoer has been helping Boss Xue.
After Boss Xue finished talking about these things, a few of us finally understood. No wonder the village here was rebuilt again. It turned out that all this was the efforts of the old man in front of us.
And a few of us began to admire the old man in front of us. Not only did he not feel discouraged under such circumstances, but he could also do great things. This man was indeed very powerful.
Boss Xue asked me: "Young man, you said that the Water and Drought Demon will come back in the next few days. Could it be that the people in Maoshan didn't kill the Water and Drought Demon completely at that time?"
I shook my head and said: "I only have a general understanding of this matter. It is said that the leader of Maoshan at that time should have fought against the Shuihanba, but in the end he should have sealed the Shuihanba under the water, but as time went by
As time goes by, the seal gradually loosens. If my guess is correct, the Flood and Drought Demon will definitely come back in less than three days."
Hearing this, the two old men frowned, and Zhang Laoer on the side said: "Young man, do you have any way to get rid of the flood and drought demon?"
I thought to myself that I would definitely not be able to defeat this flood and drought demon, but with Hu Yue'er, that might not be the case.
I said, "Even if I can't get rid of the Flood and Drought Demon, I still have a way to drive him away."
Hearing this, both of them let out a long breath, and then I continued: "Mr. Xue, I'm afraid you can't stay in the village these days. Is there any way you can get all the villagers to hide in the mountains?
.”
After hearing what I said, Boss Xue thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "The tents in the village are enough to accommodate the people in the village, and there are also many houses on the mountain, so this matter is easy to handle."
I nodded and said, "Well, this is just for insurance. Even if the village is washed away by the flood, as long as the people are still in the village, they will always be there."
The two old men nodded, and Boss Xue said: "Then I will start preparing for this tomorrow and have all the villagers move to the mountains as soon as possible tomorrow."
After that, a few of us chatted for a long time, and asked Boss Xue which place was higher in the village. Boss Xue pointed to the statue of Taoist Ganshan in the village and said that statue was the tallest building in the village.
The water will definitely not wash away the statue.
After confirming these, time passed slowly, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Boss Xue arranged accommodation for a few of us, in a room closest to the central statue. It would be enough for us to just stand on the base of the statue. No matter how powerful the floods and droughts are, the floods driven by them are impossible.
More than five meters high.
And even if the water really floods the base of the statue, we can still climb on top of the statue from behind, which is enough to ensure the safety of the few of us. Although this move is a bit rude to the Ganshan Taoist people, it is still necessary to survive. I can't control that much anymore.
Early the next morning, the radio in the village rang. Of course Boss Xue didn't make any excuses. Everyone in the village knew that floods and droughts had been here before, and of course they also knew how powerful floods and droughts were.
After learning that the Flood and Drought Demon would be coming in the next few days, every villager began to pack up their things and took away all the valuable items from their homes. Throughout the whole day, you could see the villagers packing big bags one by one. The small pack headed for the mountains.
It is winter now, and the winter weather is no joke. If you pitch a tent outside, you will freeze to death. But fortunately, there is a big mountain in the village with a very large cave. According to Boss Xue, This cave was previously dug to connect it to the outside world, but in the end it was said that some financial issues caused the engineering team to abandon this place, so this tunnel of nearly 400 meters was left.
The villagers all packed their belongings and tents and entered the tunnel. Of course, there were a lot of complaints during the process, but in the end they were scolded by others, saying that you can go back now and no one will stop you, but when you arrive At some point, I'm sure you won't even find your own body.
In this way, we were busy until the afternoon, and Li Kun and we were not idle this morning. A few of us found an iron ladder and put it on the base and the statue, and then placed it on the top of the statue. A wooden platform was built. Not to mention the three of us, this platform can accommodate five people without any problem.
I climbed up to the platform to test the strength. I was relieved when I saw that the platform didn't shake at all. Li Kun shouted to me from below: "Lao Liu, how are you? It's strong enough now, right?" .”
I nodded, made an OK gesture, and then raised my head to look at the scenery in the village.
The villagers have now run to the mountains. The village is now deserted. At a glance, you can only see some fallen leaves blown by the breeze and rolling gently on the ground.
At this time, Xu Tian shouted to me from the base of the stone statue: "Old Liu, look, there is a person coming to the head of the village."
Hearing this, Li Kun and several of us raised our eyes and saw a man at the head of the village walking slowly towards the village.
Xu Tian stood on the ladder with a hammer in his hand and said, "Is this from the village?"
Li Kun and we didn't speak, we just stared at the man who was gradually walking towards us.
When this person came closer, the three of us were sure that this person was definitely not a villager in the village, because we could tell from the way he dressed.
This person's hair was tied up high, with a hairpin stuck across the top of his head. He was wearing a gray robe. When a few of us took a closer look, we saw that this person was clearly wearing a gray robe. Taoist robe.
