The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 121 Bird King Qin Wuyu

After hearing what I said, Liang Yue and Ma Di were shocked again. Liang Yue asked, "You mean, the one we went to wasn't Nanliu Village? We asked several people, did they all say something wrong?"

I smiled wryly and said, "Nanliu Village and Nanliu Village are written in two places literally. If you say it from your mouth and don't distinguish it carefully, can you tell them apart? And I asked the old stall owner about this Nanliu Village, he seems to have something to hide, and he is avoiding this place name. So I think that this Nanliu Village is very likely to no longer exist now. This village cannot be found on the map."

Ma Di touched the broken stele and said, "This stele looks old to the touch, even if it is not considered a cultural relic, it is still an old object. It's a pity that this thing can't be carried, otherwise I will take it back and study it."

I pointed to the stele and asked, "Old Ma, doesn't this thing have inscriptions on the back? Can you see if there are any valuable clues written?"

Ma Di shook his head: "How is it possible? Only tombstones or stone tablets in temples have inscriptions. This is just a boundary marker with the name of the village written on it. There must be no written records..."

Although Ma Di said so, he still touched the back of the stele with his hand, but he was taken aback when he touched it, and then turned to the back of the stele to continue checking and groping.

Seeing that Ma Su had noticed something unusual, Liang Yue and I hurried over to observe the back of the stele carefully.

The stone tablet is covered with moss-like things, and nothing can be seen on the surface, but Ma Di touched it and said, "There are really words engraved on it."

Since this Nanliu Village is very important to the purpose of our itinerary, I was very excited to find this clue.So although we are worried about the safety of the third uncle, we can't just let it go.So Liang Yue and I helped to remove as much moss as possible behind the stele.

The moss was thick and greasy to the touch, obviously it didn't form in a short period of time, and it took a lot of effort to remove it.

It took us a long time to get the surface of the stele exposed.

Ma Di waved his hand and said it was ok, and then he turned on a small flashlight and stuck it on the stele, and asked Liang Yue to prepare a pen and paper to record at any time.

He carefully checked the words on the stele, and he recognized what he could read, touched what he couldn't see clearly, and read it word by word.

Liang Yue also recorded it word by word.

Ma Di jumped out word by word, and some characters took a long time to read out, so these characters were written as separate individuals, and we did not connect them into sentences logically, and we have never figured out the characters in our own handwriting. content.

At the beginning, Ma Di was very slow at recognizing handwriting, but as he gradually became familiar with those handwriting, his speed became faster and faster.Until Ma Di recognized all the words on the two and a half stone tablets, Liang Yue's paper was densely packed and almost filled.

Ma Su let out a long breath after reading the last word.

I hurried over to look at the piece of paper: "Look quickly, what's written on it?"

As a result, I followed the word and read a few sentences, only to find that the writing on it was in the structure of ancient Chinese, and the reading was not very smooth.I asked Liang Yue, "Can you understand?"

Liang Yue also shook her head: "I tried to read it when I remembered it, as if I was recording the rise and fall of Nanliu Village, but I couldn't read many sentences..."

Ma Su took out a towel, wiped his hands, and said, "It's normal if it doesn't work. Many places on the stele are worn out, and I can't make out the handwriting, so it's empty. I have experience with writing on this kind of stele. Let me take a look." Look."

Liang Yue handed the paper to Ma Di, and Ma Di read the words on it three times from beginning to end.

I was a little anxious, the third uncle didn't know what was going on, we couldn't delay here for too long, so I said: "Old Ma, if you can't, let's keep it first, let's go inside first."

Ma Di nodded: "That's fine, let's talk while walking, I also read the written records on it very close."

"Really? The old horse is still very good." I admired sincerely. Nowadays, there are really not many people who are as knowledgeable as Lao Ma and are good at knowledge in multiple fields.

We left the stele and continued on.The wild grass under the feet is endless, and you can't see the edge at a glance.Walking in it, it is easy to get lost.Without someone leading the way, we couldn't find the entrance to the cliff valley at all.

As a result, we had no choice but to constantly change directions and make obvious marks where we walked.

Liang Yue was curious, and asked about the content on the stone tablet while hurrying.

Ma Di also slowly told us that what was recorded on the stele was indeed a history of Nanliu Village.

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Nanliu Village was not called this name, but Nanyangao.

The geographical location of Nanyangao is in the valley. The mountains block the wind, and the trees shade the heat. The four seasons here are warm like spring and the weather is smooth.People living in Nanyangao are like living in seclusion in a paradise.

People in Nanyangao grow grains and raise livestock in the valley, and are self-sufficient.

But in the fifth year of Yongzheng, there was a once-in-a-hundred-year insect disaster nearby, and the overwhelming pests swept over.

There are no fewer than dozens of types of these pests, some of which not only eat grains, but also attack livestock. What's more, there are quite a few poisonous insects that can kill people.

The poisonous insects attacked, and the people in Nanyangao panicked.Because there were still a small number of poisonous insects in the early stage, people tried their best to protect themselves, organized deworming, and also saved a small part of livestock and food.

But more and more poisonous insects came one after another.If this continues, within two days, the entire Nanyang valley will be occupied by poisonous insects.

Not only were there no crops and no livestock left, but the villagers might also die if they did not evacuate.At that time, the entire Nanyang Valley will become a land of bones.

Just when people were getting desperate, a person appeared like a god descending from the earth.

Wearing a hundred-feather neon dress woven from a hundred kinds of feathers, this person leads a flock of birds.

The flock of birds pecked at the poisonous insects, and the poisonous insects fought back fiercely. The fierce battle between the birds and the insects lasted for a full day and night before it gradually subsided.

In the end, the flock of birds won, but it also suffered heavy losses.

People kept the land and grains that allowed them to thrive, and they were even more grateful to the god-like people that day.

When people ask the person's name, they want to collect the property of the whole village as a gift to thank him.The man smiled and said nothing, the villagers asked anxiously, and people called him Qin Wuyu, Mr. Nanliu.

Fearing that the poisonous insects would attack again, the villagers kept Mr. Nanliu and built a wooden house for him at Taniguchi.

Every day, Mr. Nanliu drives the birds and raises the poultry in front of the wooden house, and he lives happily.

People saw that he was good at controlling birds, no matter what kind of birds they were, they would obey Mr. Nanliu's instructions, and there were many rare and exotic birds hovering around the wooden house, like a fairyland.

The villagers in Nanyangao admired him very much, so they called Mr. Nanliu in private: Qin Wuyu, the king of birds.
