Director Ma was really fooled when he heard what I said, and immediately said: "This is a custom, it is a custom. Our village does not engage in feudal superstition!"
"Hahaha, Director Ma, don't get me wrong. We are here to inspect, not to score you. Don't worry, no matter what the result is, it will not affect your village's year-end job target responsibility system assessment scores."
Director Ma is very good at seeing colors. When he heard what I said, he immediately understood and said with a smile: "If you had said this earlier, I would have understood. As long as there are no points deducted, I will tell you everything you want to hear!"
"Hahaha, Director Ma, thank you for cooperating with our work!" Jin Lei saw that I had taken care of Director Ma, and she also said politely.
"I should thank all the leaders. I have to rely on the help of all the leaders for the money in my pocket!" Director Ma is a very down-to-earth person. When dealing with such people, you only need to find out where their concerns are.
, it will become very easy.
"Director Ma, I want to know what's wrong with the river in front of me?"
"Problem?" Director Ma shook his head and said: "To outsiders, this river may seem a little weird, but people here don't think so. Even when there are floods on both sides of the river, the whole village was opened yesterday.
In the village where the commendation meeting was held, after a heavy rain, all that was left were the sows lying on the bundles of corn stalks, trembling slightly, and the stone mills stuck diagonally in the soil. Sometimes fishermen were cooking with a ladle of water from the Wei River in the lower reaches, and the upper reaches were blocked.
The swollen corpse soaked in the river slowly floated downstream from the edge of the ladle."
"oh?"
"Even so, we still eat the same rice, fish soup, and drink the same food. After a heavy rain in summer, I don't know how many dead souls will be added to the river."
"Are you accustomed to this?" Jin Lei asked with a frown.
Director Ma nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? We are in a mountainous area, and we are in a river valley. It is common for houses to be washed away by floods. The government has also mobilized us to relocate, but this place is
The place where we have lived for generations has our roots. Some elderly people who had moved out in the past few years chose to return to their roots when they died."
"Then what's going on with the bodies on the water?"
"Bodies, this is not a strange thing, because there is a mountain upstream of our village. It is said to be a geomantic treasure land. There are many ancient tombs. When there is a flood, the ancient tombs are washed out, and the corpses are washed down."
"Ancient tomb? Can the corpses in the ancient tomb be preserved to this day?" Ruan Lina questioned.
"How can I say it is a geomantic treasure? The corpses in this ancient tomb are not only well-preserved, but some of them are even bright and beautiful." Director Ma even said with some pride.
"oh?"
"Isn't that right? That mountain originally belonged to our Jitai Village. Later, the administrative village was reorganized and the mountain was assigned to the village in front. For this reason, our village even fought with them back then.
There was a lot of friction, but it has all been resolved now."
"Really?" I vaguely felt that this altar village was not as simple as we saw.
"Boss, you seem to be very interested in this river." Director Ma seemed to notice that there was something unusual about us and always asked questions around the river.
In order to divert his attention and avoid revealing my intentions, I joked: "Director Ma, we are all people who are used to going out for inspections all year round. You said, just looking at the countryside
The list-based management contents of Civilization are all the same no matter which village you go to. If you don’t find something new for us, we will really get tired of hearing them!”
When Director Ma heard what I said, he immediately understood and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what the leader said makes sense, but I was negligent. Oh, it's really not easy for you. You have to visit so many places every year. How could it be better to do so?"
I, I can’t sit still for a long time.”
"Hahaha, Director Ma, you can't say that, it's all work. We also take some time off from our busy schedule to listen to some new things about local customs and customs to adjust the working atmosphere."
Director Ma immediately said: "Don't worry, I will tell you some interesting things about our altar village."
With that said, Director Ma simply invited a few of us to sit at his home, saying that there were tea leaves that had just been roasted before tomorrow, and he wanted to entertain us well. Director Ma’s house is a traditional folk house. Although I am alone all the time, the house is not bad.
Neat. Looking around, most of the space in the house is occupied by various farm tools. Although there are many objects, it does not appear cluttered.
My eyes were attracted by a simple wooden box. Soon, Director Ma came over carefully carrying a tea jar. As he walked over in small steps, bursts of tea fragrance filled my nostrils.
"It's almost noon. Let the leaders have a light meal at my house."
"How can you be so embarrassed!" Jin Lei declined.
"Hahaha, Director Ma asked us to come for tea. I think you are a drunkard and don't care about drinking." I joked, signaling Jin Lei not to refuse.
"Hahaha, it's just a simple meal, it's not a violation of discipline." Director Ma said with a smile.
Soon, Director Ma brought out a large bowl of fish from the back kitchen. I asked curiously: "Director Ma, what kind of fish is this? It's so delicious? My teeth are so greedy!"
Director Ma carefully put the bowl on the table and said with a smile: "If it's delicious, eat more. There's still more in the pot."
After saying that, he took out a bottle of Chunliang Xiaoshao from the corner and drank it loudly. I wiped my greasy mouth with my sleeves, patted my swollen belly, and drank it.
Director Ma talked nonsense while pouring him wine.
Director Ma is not a very good drinker, but he likes to have a sip at night, saying he can't sleep without drinking.
"Director Ma, why is our village called Sacrifice Village?" Seeing that Director Ma was already a little tipsy, I planned to take this opportunity to explore Director Ma's background.
As the saying goes, telling the truth after drinking, Director Ma took advantage of the wine and said with a smile: "This altar village actually has the same pronunciation."
"Homophony?" I wondered, "How do you say this?"
"In ancient times, our village was not called Jitai Village, but Jitaizhuang. It was named because there was a master Jitai in the village who was profound in Taoism."
"Zhenren Jitai?" When I heard this name, I was extremely excited, but I couldn't show it, lest Jin Lei and the others would see it and take advantage of it.
Jin Lei and the others must still not know who this Master Jitai is. He was one of the murderers who framed Wang Qiang back then, and was the culprit who caused Wang Qiang's soul to be sealed. I really didn't expect that this Master Jitai was from Jitai Village.
Ancestor, I didn’t expect him to have a direct relationship with the beauty appraiser.
"Haha, I didn't expect our ancestors to also play homophonic jokes." I laughed deliberately and did not show any abnormality due to excitement.
"Then what's the story of this real Jitai?"
No, he must have many interesting deeds." I asked.
"Um..." Director Ma hesitated for a moment, his eyes were so deep that it was completely different from him. It seemed that he had a lot of troubles with nowhere to talk about, and he seemed to be silently firming up something in his heart.
"What's wrong, Director Ma, do you have something to hide?" I asked tentatively.
After another glass of wine, Director Ma's face was already burning with fever, and his tongue began to curl when he spoke. I saw that the time was right, so I asked: "Director Ma, it seems that this real Jitai is a bit secretive."
"
Seeing me asking this question, Director Ma seemed to have never drunk before. His eyes were shining and he smiled and said to me: "Boss, you are joking. We are just a poor village. There is no secret."
The way Director Ma was drunk and sober for a while made me even more convinced that I could get some clues from his mouth.
"Come on, Director Ma, let me toast you!" With that, I stood up, picked up the wine glass, and started drinking with Director Ma again.
Director Ma was originally on guard, but when he saw my glass of wine in front of him, his guard immediately relaxed a lot. What's more, I also have two teammates. Jin Lei and Ruan Lina are both beautiful beauties, and they can persuade me to drink.
, Director Ma couldn’t be more happy.
"Director Ma, just tell us. We promise not to talk nonsense outside." Jin Lei said while pouring wine.
After the beautiful woman blew the air in his ear, Director Ma couldn't hold it any longer and said with a smile: "Hey, it's actually nothing. To tell you the truth, the ancestor of our Jitai Village, this real Jitai, was actually a
The hereditary family has the surname Deng. This family surnamed Deng has existed as early as the Shang Dynasty. They were not originally here, but they also moved in later. It was just that they were very old, and there was no such village at that time.
Woolen cloth."
"When you say this, you mean that this Jitaizhen is not just one person, but that their whole family is called Jitaizhen?"
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Director Ma nodded with dull eyes, then shook his head helplessly and said: "Hey, why am I telling you this? This real Jitai is the founder of our village.
Without him, this village would not exist, so we all worship Jitai Zhenren as a Bodhisattva."
"Oh, this is considered a kind of folk belief, not feudal superstition."
"Yes, yes, folk belief!" Director Ma seemed to be afraid of leaking something, and then pretended to drink too much, opening his mouth slightly.
"Director Ma, who is this real person in Jitai now? I wonder if we have no chance to visit him?"
"That's it, why don't we go and have a look after dinner," Director Ma said, "I didn't know he wasn't at home."
"Okay, okay."
After dinner, Director Ma took us to find Zhenren Jitai.
This Jitai Zhenren is really mysterious. I originally thought that there was only one Jitai Zhenren, but I never thought that it was hereditary. In other words, children can inherit their father's legacy.
"This is interesting. If I remember correctly, this beauty appraiser did not work alone, but has continued throughout history. It is very likely that beauty appraisers have also continued through the inheritance of father's legacy from son to son."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel excited.
