After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly smoothed things over: "Let's go inside and take a look. It is said that the stalagmites inside are very beautiful."

Then the lady said to her son: "Sanlang, what are you fussing about with a villager, take care of your sister, let's go in and have a look."

The boy snorted at the villager and led everyone inside.

Yingbao fell behind and said to the villagers who were still angry: "Don't worry, uncle, these flowers will fall soon if you don't pick them. If you don't want them to be picked, you can put a wooden fence around the flowers." , don't let anyone come near."

How can a businessman not be popular, as long as he has a thicker skin and a stronger heart, these are all fine.

The business in the village has just started, and Yingbao doesn't want a good business to be ruined because of a single sentence.

The boy just now was the son of Sima's family, his father's position in Fucheng is only under Zhang Inspector, and he is the undisputed master of Fucheng, if he wants to trouble the villagers of Zaoshu Village, even Inspector Zhang will not be able to stop him.

Taking a step back, even though Yingbao is unwilling to bow her head, sometimes she has to bow her head.

Otherwise, he manifested his spirit again?Deter and deter those young men and women.

The villagers nodded: "I listen to my little master, and I will make a wooden fence now!"

After that, he turned around and went out of the hole.

Yingbao sent the villager away, and then walked slowly into the cave.

Because many people in the crowd in front lit torches, she could barely see the path under her feet.

Not long after, the crowd at the front let out bursts of exclamation.

Yingbao ran over to take a look, and saw jagged stalagmites hanging from the roof of the cave, and white stalagmites on the ground, the largest one was higher than the house.

The interior of the cave is very large, but the road is not easy to walk on. There are countless water droplets dripping from the top of the cave, and gradually merge into streams and flow outside.

This is the source of Shiquan.

Yingbao was amazed, but didn't go in, but turned to the back of a huge stalagmite, took out the stone tablet that was made before from the cave, and quietly placed it down.

Yesterday she sneaked out of the government office, went to a mason's shop, and asked him to engrave a paragraph on a stone tablet, to the effect that this place is the residence of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and that blessings will be sent down to benefit all people, and the villagers living here will also be honored by her. bless.

The inscription says that the villagers should guard the sacred peony tree in the cave so that no one can damage it.

It is also said that if someone damages the flowers, trees, springs and insults the villagers here, he will be plagued with bad luck for a lifetime and everything will go wrong.

Ying Bao gently placed the huge stone tablet behind the stalagmite, taking advantage of her young age and wearing dark clothes, she slipped away quietly and came to the side of the second senior brother.

Zhang Min was currently taking out a wooden box from a stone alcove, and said to his mother with a smile: "Mother, this is something my son hid here before, I didn't expect it to still be here."

"What's hiding?" Xuehua asked with his head.

Zhang Min opened the wooden box and saw several childhood toys inside.

Xuehua clicked his tongue, no longer interested.

Zhang Min hugged the things happily, turned around to see the little junior sister, and said, "I will give it to you when I turn back."

Ying Bao was speechless.

All the jigsaw puzzles in that box are rotten, so why not give it away?

Everyone stayed in the cave for a long time before someone saw a stele behind the huge stalagmite.

This stone tablet is as tall as a person, embedded in the cracks of the stone, only a lot of characters can be seen faintly on it.

"Come here with the torches all of you! I see a lot of words on this stone tablet, what are they engraved on?" a young man called out.

Everyone cheered and gathered around, Zhang Min and Mrs. Zhang also went to check, and after a look, they were all silent.

The little girl who folded flowers before was so frightened by the inscription that she cried and kept asking her mother what to do.

The little girl's elder brother frowned and said, "These villagers made up this stele on purpose. I don't believe there is such a thing as Nine Heavens Profound Girls in the world..."

This time Mrs. Sima didn't indulge her son any more, and yelled sharply, "Shut up! You're talking nonsense at such a young age, and you've read into the stomach of a dog?"

The boy didn't dare to speak any more, and bowed his head in silence.

In fact, he was quite afraid in his heart, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by others, so he insisted on saying that sentence.

The people didn't dare to stay in the cave anymore, they came out of the cave one after another.

Walking to the peony tree, Mrs. Sima clasped her hands together and bowed to the peony, but Yingbao couldn't hear what she was muttering.

After that, Mrs. Sima insisted on paying 200 taels of sesame oil to the Taoist temple, hoping that people in the Taoist temple would recite a few scriptures and mantras to her son.

Yingbao had no choice but to agree, and didn't tell the lady that no one in their Taoist temple was upright and practiced Taoism.

The master is not, the senior brother is not, and the second senior brother is not with himself.

They are just conjurers from the Onmyoji Department of Xinglin, hey, they are far from Taoist priests.

The next day, the group finally left.

But they bought more than a dozen barrels of spring water and brought them back.

After that, people came from Fucheng to buy water one after another, and even a few masters from Fuxue also came once, and even went into the cave to see the stone tablet.

They also bought a few buckets of water and went back.

Since then, more and more people have come to visit, and many people have come to worship with incense and offerings.

Of course, the incense money was given to Taoist temples, and Master Zhou Wuchang unceremoniously collected it all.

Not long after, half of the money for buying the land on the hill and building the yard came back.

Yingbao also asked the villagers to bring stones to surround the entrance of the Shiquan Cave. Those who wanted to enter the cave for sightseeing had to pay fifty coins each.

This will not only reduce the number of people entering the cave, but also keep the water source clean.

Who knows if those people will wash their feet and hands in the cave? If someone gets a bad disease and goes in to wash and rinse, wouldn't the water that flows out be unclean?
As soon as the villagers were reminded by her, they were enlightened, and immediately paved a circle of stone blocks in the cave.

With these stone piers, people don't have to step on the ground directly after entering.

It was the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the weather was so cold that even the water tank in the kitchen was frozen.

Zhang Min and his elder brother beat ice in the kitchen to get water, and then knead noodles for cooking.

Yingbao leaned on the window sill, watching the snow particles falling outside, and began to ponder in her heart.

Jingzhou is much colder than her hometown. According to Cuilan, the ice in the pond is three feet thick, and you can skate on it.

When Yingbao was a child, she skated in narrow river ditches, but if she accidentally fell into a hole in the ice, it would be very boring.

However, it was bitterly cold here, and when I went out for a walk, my eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with hoarfrost.

For a while, she was so cold that she stayed in the house and dared not go out, stuffing a handful of firewood into the kang hole from time to time.

In such a cold weather, if a basin of pupil spring comes out, it is guaranteed to freeze into a lump of ice in an hour.

Before, Yingbao had long wanted to store some ice in the cave, and in summer, everyone would have ice cream to eat.

But the climate in my hometown is humid, and the winter is not as cold as here, and the thin ice cannot be stored at all.

Right now, this is a natural ice cellar. As long as I store enough ice, I believe it will be able to be stored until next summer.

Just do it.

Yingbao put on her padded clothes, jumped off the kang, put on a tiger hat, and went out to run outside.

Several thatched huts have been built next to Shiquan Cave, and several villagers take turns guarding here.

"Little Douzi, go to the village and buy some rhubarb pots for me, and then send them to the Taoist temple."

"Okay!" Xiaodouzi didn't ask the little master what he wanted the rhubarb pot for, and agreed without hesitation.

Yingbao explained again: "Only new ones, not old ones."

In order to accumulate manure, many villagers buried the rhubarb pots in the ground to make a cesspit, and put all their urine and feces in it, so the old yellow pots were absolutely not acceptable.
