Chapter 12 The Bones on the Hill

It should be a rabbit, haha, this is a blessing.I caught it and just brought it home for my wife to stew in a pot for Da Da Ya Ji. I haven’t eaten meat for a long time. How can I let it go easily when it’s delivered to my door? Rabbit meat is delicious and chewy!

As soon as he said it, Lao Wang picked up a hoe, picked up a stone, and chased the rabbit in the direction where the rabbit passed. After two steps, guess what, the rabbit was not afraid of people, and it was on the side of the old willow tree. On the root of the tree, he was licking his front paws leisurely, his demeanor looked a little funny.

I don't know why, watching this interesting scene, Lao Wang's thought of hitting the rabbit was instantly thrown away, and he dropped the hoe and started walking towards the cute white rabbit.

Perhaps the sound of the hoe falling to the ground startled the rabbit, and saw the little white ball suddenly jump to the side, jumping up to a height of more than ten centimeters.

The rabbit just happened to be standing on a tree root that protruded from the ground. The limited landing area for this jump inevitably made it unstable. It shook a few times and almost fell headlong.

Stupid rabbit!Pharaoh was happy from the bottom of his heart.

The rabbit struggled left and right for a few times and finally stood firmly on the tree root. Looking at Lao Wang's vicissitudes of life with red eyes, he bared his teeth and showed two big dies.

Hehe, the rabbit seemed to be able to see Lao Wang's playfulness, and the red crystal-like eyeballs also slightly narrowed, revealing an angry look.

It seems to be saying: what are you laughing at, have you never seen a rabbit!
I haven't seen such a spiritual animal for a long time, and Lao Wang also had the evil idea of ​​teasing it, and suddenly rushed forward.Seeing the old dynasty rushing towards him, the rabbit jumped again in fright. This time, he lost his balance and fell directly from the tree roots to the ground, rolling his legs upside down before bouncing up.

The snow-white hair just turned gray now, looking funny like a big mouse.Hahaha, Old Wang couldn't help laughing when he saw the rabbit crooked a few times on the tree roots and finally fell down.

The white rabbit became furious, probably realized that Lao Wang's pounce just now was just to amuse himself, and started digging the ground with his legs angrily, his nose wriggling, looking like a rabbit who would not take revenge.

Yo, this rabbit is really spiritual!Looking at the funny rabbit in front of him, Lao Wang felt that he had discovered a shockingly interesting thing. Today, he really met a good rabbit who can understand people's meaning!
Or, catch this rabbit and take him back to the village to play?Sigh, forget it, a rabbit is a rabbit after all, at most this is a smart rabbit, how can it really understand people's thoughts and expressions?

"Good rabbit, old man, I won't play with you anymore, you go home by yourself, don't come out to run around, be careful next time I will catch you home, take a pot and cook soup." Lao Wang blew his beard. The staring rabbit said, as if the rabbit could really understand what he said.

I don't know why, but I always have a feeling in my heart that this rabbit is not edible, that's all, less killing and more accumulating virtue, and my son will be charged less crimes down here!After speaking, Pharaoh took one last look at the rabbit, picked up the hoe on the ground, and prepared to go back to the field to finish the rest of the work.

Just leave?The rabbit seemed unwilling, and waved its furry little paws at Lao Wang's back.

Suddenly, the rabbit turned into a puff of smoke, and in the next moment, it turned into a young girl in white clothes. There were still patches of dust stains on the white gauze dress.The change is only in an instant, and the rabbit is really smart!

It lifted its heels up to Lao Wang, took very small steps, and made no sound at all, as if it was floating.Old Wang didn't realize all of this, and he still paced forward on his own.

The girl in the form of a white rabbit had a sullen expression on her face, her brows were furrowed, and she stretched out her five fingers to grab the old Wang's neck. At the very moment, the old Wang staggered a few steps and fell to the ground softly and with a bang.

Huh?Could it be that this person is dizzy, and he hasn't avenged himself yet!Rabbit Jing looked at her white clothes that were already a little gray and black, and seemed unwilling to think about what happened just now, her blood ruby-like shining eyeballs moved.

He had to think of a way to teach the old man in front of him a lesson. Although he didn't speak, it was not hard to guess the rabbit spirit's psychology at this time from his expression.

I don't know what kind of ability that rabbit spirit has, but I saw it lightly tap the old man's head, and the old man stood up straight, and with stiff joints, he picked up the hoe and started to walk back with the kettle on his back. I don't care about the place.

In this way, Pharaoh returned home in a daze.After arriving home, he didn't put down the hoe, carrying it on his shoulders and running wildly all over the village.This frightened Lao Wang's wife, why did she go to the field and come back so stupid!

God, don't be so obsessed with it again.Lao Wang, Lao Wang, wake up!His wife grabbed his arm and slapped Lao Wang's face vigorously with an ear scraper, while pinching him, trying to wake him up.

But who knows, it was even worse if he didn't wake up. "Wow, oh, eh, eh..." Lao Wang, who was only running around before, started singing now, and ran while singing, with a hoe on his shoulder, how weird it looked!

All this was clearly seen by a white rabbit by the haystack at the entrance of the village. The rabbit spirit who caused the crime was squatting beside a pile of grass, watching the forelegs of the old Wang who was carrying a hoe and singing in the distance. It seems to be "chichi..." sniggering.

It was shaking so much that it could shake off the ashes on its body, what a naughty rabbit!
In this way, Pharaoh went mad for two or three days, but miraculously healed after shocking several people.After recovering to normal, the first sentence of Lao Wang was "What am I doing with a hoe?" Alas, this made everyone really unable to answer, because even he himself didn't know what he was doing with a hoe, how could others know? !

Like a farce, Lao Wang's adventures are an unsolved mystery, and no one knows what happened to him except the rabbit.Even Lao Wang has forgotten how he went to the field.It's just that there is a vague white figure in the impression, but I can't remember what it is.

Forget it, just treat it as a dream, how many people can see all the things in the world clearly.However, having said that, perhaps it was Lao Wang's words that saved his life.Do not kill, accumulate more virtue, the words of Buddhism are always correct.

In addition to the two weir ponds, there is a mountain opposite Wusi Village, named Goujiling.The hills that the villagers can see when they look up have recently gained a higher status in everyone's hearts, and by the way, they have become a daily topic of conversation in the village.

why?Because the first primary school in the village will be built as a milestone on this mountain that has stood for thousands of years.After a concentrated discussion like a symposium for men, women and children in the village, everyone unanimously decided that the name of the primary school should be called Goujiling according to the name of the mountain, so the later Goujiling Primary School came into being.

It is said that there is a reason why Goujiling Primary School has such a strange name.Firstly, it got its name from the mountain because it was built on the dog trail ridge; secondly, it was also because wild dogs always visited in the middle of the night when the school was under construction. That's how it got its name.

Of course, there are also legends that Goujiling is actually a sacred mountain, guarded by Erlang Shengou, the incarnation of Erlang God in the mortal world, and guarding the villagers of Wusi Village from generation to generation.Therefore, in exchange for the village's good weather every year.Even the Luo River at the foot of the mountain is said to be the place where the incredibly beautiful woman in Cao Zhi's works - Luoshen once visited.There is another theory recognized by everyone, that is, the footprints of wild dogs left on the playground were also left by Erlang Shengou, or left on purpose, which means that the mountains here belong to it.Of course, there are beautiful myths and stories that have been passed down through the ages everywhere in the ancient Chinese land, but such beautiful legends about Goujiling cannot conceal the fact that many strange things happened at the beginning of the school's construction.These events are still unsolved mysteries today, waiting for future generations to investigate and explore.

Goujiling Primary School is built on the mountain, and the winding Luo River is at the foot of the mountain. It is only a river and a road away from the village.The original site was chosen here because the hills here are naturally flat and have a large usable area. It does not need to occupy farmland, but also is condescending, has a wide view, beautiful scenery, and is close to the village. It is a good place for learning.

At that time, most rural children had to get up before dawn and walk for several hours on the mountain road to go to a larger primary school. It was actually quite a luxury to have a neighboring primary school in the village. People in the village raised funds In addition, with the government appropriation, the initial funds for the school's establishment are almost in place.

It is said that on the day the elementary school broke ground, the whole village, men, women and children were all out.The school-age children were especially happy, clamoring that they would go to the elementary school in front of their doorstep in the future.The crowd crossed the Luo River and boarded the Gouji Ridge in such a mighty way.Amidst the jubilant sound of gongs and drums, the village head delivered some speeches about the establishment of the school, which brought tears to the eyes of the villagers.

Everyone understands that although the higher-ups have indeed allocated a part of the school construction funds, it is far from enough to build a similar school with that amount of money. The remaining funding gap is almost broken by the old village chief in his 60s. It was made up by raising funds from door to door.Although everyone strongly supported this matter at the beginning, each family contributed money, but in the end it was not enough, so the village head took the lead in selling the whole family's rations for half a year, and then raised some funds from a few wealthier families in the village. It is obvious to all how much effort was spent during this period.

Now, on the hill in front of me, the first school in my village is about to be built. Who can be unhappy?Of course, the first shovel for breaking the ground should be dug by the village head.But during the construction, an unexpected discovery made the last Goujiling Primary School almost fail to be completed.

The top of Gouji Ridge is not a raised peak, but a wide platform. Such a flat hill is rare even in the mountainous southern hilly areas.The entire top is flat as if it had been artificially built. The ground of the hill is different from ordinary mountains. There is no protruding rock layer but a layer of loess up to four or five meters deep. There are a few thorns and shrubs on the mountain, but there are no common pine trees. Cypress trees grow.

Originally, this natural good condition provided great convenience for the construction, but who knows that the convenience does not seem to mean a good thing.In the expectant eyes of the crowd, the village chief swung down with a shovel. The shovel was so powerful that the villagers just wanted to applaud and applaud.But when I opened my eyes wide, everyone was stunned, and the sound "Okay..." was stuck in my throat and didn't come out, and everyone was speechless as if they had swallowed a fly, and they just stared at each other with their mouths open. Looking surprised.

It turned out that this shovel dug out not only loess, but also a few human leg bones hidden in it.

The bone has been corroded to the point of disfigurement, it is gray and gray, and it is still somewhat incomplete. It seems that there are insects and ants burrowing out of it. Although it is a bit ugly, it is not as scary as imagined because of the dust attached to it.

The inauspiciousness of this first shovel seems to be destined to continue the strange things in the elementary school, but no one paid much attention to this at the time.

Just because in the rural hills with burial customs, there are usually tombs everywhere, and the families are connected in one piece.Some of the tombs that had no stele erected for a long time, after being eroded by wind and rain and covered by weeds or trees, can still be seen to be a little protruding, just like ordinary small mounds.
