Chapter 57: Extraordinary significance
Among the vast mountains and ridges, buildings are located in the lush valley.
This place is called Goddess Valley...
The woman rescued by Lu Yun was called Zhou Gu by the victims.
Over the past few days, Zhou Gu led more than a hundred women to build vegetable gardens in this valley to reclaim wasteland, and preserve rice seeds to be cultivated next year.
After several busy days and days, a trace of fireworks began to appear in the valley. As soon as it settled down, Zhou Gu and her friends found the largest attic.
She planned to turn this place into a ancestral hall, and fortunately she would come here to discuss something in the future.
But the inner hall of the attic is really empty, with no tables, chairs, benches, and there are no tables, chairs, and benches.
The slightly deserted look made Zhou Gu feel a little uncomfortable.
These days, she can be said to be busy. Fortunately, there are many skilled people among them. Although there are no beds and stools, the valley is full of bamboo and wood.
They cut bamboo rafts and made simple baskets, bamboo stools, bamboo tables, and beds with bamboo.
Recalling the hardships these days, Zhou Gu sighed in her heart and couldn't help but say, "This is still far from it. Although the food is enough for us for a year, we must arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation this year.
And when winter comes, we still have to find ways to keep warm. It’s really not easy to do this one by one!"
I saw a quiet woman beside Zhou Gu. This man looked pretty and had a bookish look. He was the official lady who talked to Zhou Gu at the time.
She didn't want to mention her past names, and thought she was obsessed with it. Maybe she didn't want to shame her family, so she claimed to be giving up the dust.
The girl Shechen comforted her and said, "You don't have to worry too much. You have led all the sisters to work hard these days, and we all see them, so don't be too tired.
There are still many wild vegetables and fruits around this valley, so you can find ways to transplant them into the vegetable garden we just built.
As for the table, chairs, benches and benches, the girls here are mostly skillful. As long as they are given time, everything will be fine.
As for keeping warm in winter, you must pay attention. Don’t look at the sunny weather now. While the branches and leaves are lush, you have to harvest more catkins and straw to prepare for emergencies.”
Then Shechen took out something and said, "Gu Zhou, look, what are I holding?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Gu saw that she held something in her hand, which was a brush.
However, the pen holder is rough in texture, and it is obviously made by randomly finding bamboo branches in the forest, but the pen peak is pretty good.
Zhou Gu asked, "Where did you come from?"
"I found the pen in the forest. This Bifeng happened to see a dead rabbit, pulling hair from it. Didn't you say you wanted to hang a portrait of Mr. Lu in the ancestral hall and worship it with all your heart?
How can I not have a pen? Mr. Lu dared not forget about us because he has received great kindness and virtue, so he made this pen!”
When Zhou Gu heard this, she looked happy: "You can draw?"
"I have learned it, but I can't compare to those real people!"
Zhou Gu looked excited. The reason why she built such a ancestral hall was, firstly to make the picture of the goddess in her hand, and secondly to make it to worship Lu Yun. After all, this was what she told Lu Yun in person.
No matter whether Lu Yun was concerned or not, she had to do it no matter what. This is her intention and a promise.
Just then he thought about it and shook his head again: "No, although this place is beautiful, it is a rare and good place, but far away from the world, we can't make paper!"
"You are so obsessed with the eyes of the picture. Who said that the painting must be on paper? Isn't there a wall? Look, although the attic is empty, the walls are extremely white.
We can hang a picture of the goddess while drawing Mr. Lu for worship!"
"What about the pigment? How do you find this pigment?"
"All colors of pigments can be found in the mountains and grind them into powder and water. The so-called inkstone is also made of stones."
When Zhou Gu heard this, she felt relieved, but she frowned and hesitated: "It's just that you have never seen Mr. Lu, how do you know what he looks like?"
She Chen thought for a moment, then said, "It's better to do this. Zhou Gu, you said, "I'm painting on the sand. After the appearance is almost the same, I painted on this wall. This way, it's not vivid, but it should be as good as eight or nine."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Gu's doubts disappeared and immediately pulled She Chen out of the ancestral hall building. She found a fine sand paving and flattened it. She began to outline Lu Yun's appearance with the tips of bamboo leaves...
It took the two of them several hours before they confirmed Lu Yun's appearance.
Then She Chen began to look for colorful stones in the valley to make pigments.
After all the preparations were made, I finally picked up my pen and painted it on the wall of the ancestral hall...
Another place, a pair of masters and apprentices rode donkeys on the ancient mountain road.
Lu Yun hugged Hu Niu in front of his arms. Hu Niu had big, smart eyes, full of doubts.
She raised her little head and said strangely: "Why did Master put away the big cat? Don't let it go back into the basket? The big cat is furry and warm, it feels so comfortable to lie on it!"
The big cat in Hu Niu's mouth is the white tiger painted by Lu Yun, which has been put into the paper and put into the basket on the donkey.
Lu Yun smiled and raised his hand and pointed: "Silly girl, look!"
Hu Niu looked in the direction Lu Yun pointed, and saw smoke rising from the distance of the road, and a village hidden on the hillside.
Lu Yun said: "Big cats are tigers. Although they will not hurt people, they cannot resist the eyes of the world and can eat people.
If you release it, you might scare others. If you want to ride it, you have to be a place where no one sees it."
Hu Niu smiled sweetly: "I understand, Hu Niu wrote it down. By the way, Master, can you draw a candied haw for me? The candied haws are so sweet!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun smiled pamperedly: "Yes, but you have to memorize a passage with your master. If you memorize it well, I will give you candied haws!"
Hu Niu was curious: "Master, what do you want me to recite..."
"Listen well, when people are born, they are good in nature; when they are similar, they are far apart..."
Lu Yun took out the three-character scripture he had recited as a child, just to use it for Hu Niu to enlighten her. It was time to teach her how to read and write slowly.
Just as Lu Yun said something and Hu Niu said something...
Sudden!
The dark feeling arose in Lu Yun’s mind!
His heart beat for some reason, and in a trance he felt that he had more vision.
In front of him, in addition to the appearance of the three-character classic of Hu Niu's back, he also saw another picture.
He saw a group of people kneeling at him and saw the familiar figure. It was neither the other person nor the Miss Zhou he had rescued.
She muttered: "Mr. Lu, you are so kind and great virtue, the little girl dare not forget you. Now we have taken root in this valley, and we all rely on your protection.
We named this valley Goddess Valley because of the picture of Goddess by the gentleman. From now on, we will be the ancestral hall we worship you.
