Northeast Night Talk

Chapter 85 Orochi
After getting off the train, I made three rounds and went straight to the small county town of my hometown.

I haven't been home for a long time. I didn't expect that the village has changed a lot, and there are a few more small western-style buildings at the entrance of the village.

Our village has always been relatively wealthy in Shili Baxiang, because there is a quarry on the mountain behind our village, and builders in the city come here to pull stones.

From the early years to the present, there are still thatched houses in other villages, but we have built big tile-roofed houses. It looks spectacular and magnificent from the mountain! (At least that's how I felt at the time)

Some families in the village stopped farming, and they all went up the mountain to open quarries. The business continued. Men from all over the country came to work here. Except for the tomb, almost all other places on the mountain became quarries.

Our family also has a quarry, which was opened by my grandfather in the early years. Later, when I got older, it was handed over to my uncle. After my uncle passed away, it was handed over to my father to take care of it.

As I approached the house, I was extremely anxious.In my impression, my grandfather was very strong, and he worked in the field like a young man without hesitation.But in recent years, since our family went up the mountain and opened a quarry, grandpa has aged a lot. His originally straight waist has gradually bent, and he has completely become a little old man. Just one day.

When I got home, my grandfather was lying powerlessly on the kang, his old face was pale and emaciated. What shocked me even more was that his right arm was empty, and he lost an arm!
"Grandpa..." I murmured, tears almost fell down, grandpa is really old, now he is lying there powerlessly, I just realized this,
"It's Xiaodongzi who's back..." The broad palm tightly held my hand, which made me ache.

I said with red eyes: "Grandpa, it's me, what's wrong with you!"

"Don't cry! It's nothing, it's just missing an arm, it's nothing serious!" He comforted me instead.

I had a conversation with my grandfather. The old man had just recovered from his injury and was a little tired. He fell asleep while talking. I quietly covered him with a quilt and retreated out.

"Grandma, why did grandpa lose his hands?" I asked while helping grandma pick beans.

Grandma looked at me for a moment, as if to see if his grandson was thin, and then sighed: "It's not because of the quarry in the back mountain."

"The quarry? Isn't the quarry handed over to my dad? Why did the old man let him go up the mountain at such an old age!" I was suddenly a little angry.

"Little Dongzi!" My mother glared at me from the side, and only then did I realize that I was a little anxious to speak.

The whole family was silent. My father was a taciturn farmer, and nothing could be said from him.I rubbed my grandma and asked her what happened.

Grandma told me in a low voice that there was a major accident in Houshan a few days ago, and dozens of people died!My grandfather was disabled in this accident.

Hearing what she said, I couldn't help but widen my eyes, dozens of people?how can that be?

It is indeed a dangerous thing to go up the mountain to hit rocks. In the early years, the technology was not up to standard, and there were casualties almost every year, and everyone didn't take it seriously. At that time, people valued money and would risk their lives as long as they could earn money. dry.The county doesn't pay much attention to this matter, and if someone dies, he will pay some money, and as long as the death does not reach the 'standard', it will be fine.

However, it has never been said that dozens of people died at one time, which is a bit too terrifying!
After repeated questioning, my grandma finally told me the truth. It turned out that this incident was not a simple accident, but had something to do with the Xian family.

A big snake was blown out of the rock blasted on the mountain!
No wonder when I first entered the village, I heard some village women whispering about big snakes.When it comes to the size of the snake, some say it is seven or eight meters long, others say it is only over ten meters long, and others say it is tens of meters long and as tall as a building.I didn't see how long the snake was. After all, I just came back and missed it. I don't believe the old women in the village who run the train with their mouths full of mouth.

Grandma said that after this incident on the mountain, all the quarries stopped working. The rural people believe in these things, saying that the snake is not an ordinary animal, but a spiritual thing. Immortals are immortals!Changxian is a snake fairy, that's amazing!
When encountering this kind of thing, everyone was confused, so they invited my grandfather up the mountain. In our village, there were originally two Mr. Yin and Yang, one was my grandfather, and the other was He Yinyang’s grandfather, Mr. He Da, but now He Da My husband went to the provincial capital to make a fortune, and my grandfather became the backbone at the critical moment.

My grandfather was also taken aback when he arrived on the mountain. The big snake had been blown into two pieces by the flint, and he was already out of breath. My grandfather wiped his tears from the back of his hand and scolded these bastards. Look at it, the cave of the Xian family was blown up!
Everyone was anxious for a while, looking at the big snake lying on the ground, they all cried out, and some even knelt down to the snake.

In our barren mountains, let alone big snakes, even small snakes are not easy to see. Such a big snake, I don’t know how many years of practice in this mountain, it was destroyed like this!

"Ah! Injustice!" My grandfather cried for the first time at such an age.

For the next three days, the quarry stopped doing business. My grandfather paid for Mr. Yin and Yang from Shiliba Village, as well as the "Maxian" who had been out of the hall, and even the monks from the temple, and came to the mountain to give the big snake Do things, go beyond.

An old monk said that this Changbai Mountain was originally the dragon vein in the northeast, it was a fairyland, and there were many immortals cultivating here. This is a catastrophe for the fairy family's cave.

This ceremony lasted for seven days and seven nights, and all the adults and children in the village who could move came to worship and ask the fairy family for forgiveness.After seven days, the turmoil seemed to be over, and all those who practiced things went down the mountain. The village head discussed with the village cadres. The quarry is the biggest reliance in the village. What should be done should be done. My grandfather disagreed. To say that if the quarry continues to work will be self-defeating, and the incident with the big snake is already a revelation. If the village persists in their obsession, it may cause some disasters.

My grandpa's persuasion was unsuccessful. There is such a big "golden mountain" that everyone can throw away. As a result, except for our quarry on the mountain, the other quarries are still open.

My grandfather could only sigh. The old man went home to tidy up and returned to the mountain again, saying that he was worried and wanted to keep Chang Xian's spirit. He didn't go down the mountain until July 49.

One month has passed, nothing happened on the mountain, no one was injured, let alone any accidents, but everyone is more careful than before, thinking that this matter will be over, but they did not expect that what should have happened still happened!

On the last day of my grandfather's vigil for the big snake, a major accident occurred in the quarry, a big explosion occurred in the warehouse where the gunpowder was stored, a chain reaction of explosives occurred, and the entire back mountain exploded!Dozens of people were killed up and down, and my grandpa also lost an arm in this accident!
This accident is definitely a major accident in L province in recent years, but the county officials at that time blocked the news in order to keep Wusha, and the whole incident was digested internally!
After listening to my grandma's story about the big snake, I was extremely shocked. It seems that this matter is really not that simple, and there must be a great connection between this huge accident and the big snake.

When I was eating, I brought the rice bowl in front of my grandfather. The old man waved his hand and said that he would eat with us. Although he was a little weak, he was recovering well.Grandma told me that the old man had been back from the hospital for three days and nothing serious happened. The main reason why he called me this time was because he missed me and wanted to see me.

I secretly blamed myself, I didn't know anything about such a big incident at home, I made so many phone calls and my mother faltered, I didn't even notice it, I really regretted it.

I stayed at home with the old man for two days, and many people came to visit, but he didn't see him. He always said to himself, "At the beginning, they didn't listen to what I said, but now they come to me when something happens. It's about the Xian family. How could it be so easy to settle!"

I know that most of these people came to visit him because they were worried about Chang Xian, but my grandfather was already physically and mentally exhausted because of this matter, and now that he is disabled, he doesn't intend to get involved in this matter.

"Xiaodong! Lock the door and let no one in!"

I locked the door according to my grandfather's instructions, and no matter who knocked on the door, I would not be seen at home. Even if the village chief came, he could only lie on the wall and stare blankly.

Now the big and small quarries in our village are closed and stopped. Let alone the county forbid such a big accident. Even the villagers dare not go up the mountain to hit rocks. Few people dare to go up the mountain alone on weekdays. Yes, I opened the door of the backyard and saw that the back mountain was lonely, and it really became a veritable barren mountain.

I stayed at home for a week, and everyone in the village was talking about the big snake. If you want to say that this matter should be over, with so many people dead, it stands to reason that the grievances of the Xian family should also be over, but just when I was planning to go back to school , Another strange thing happened in the village.

The accident happened in the village of Wang Gang’s family. Wang Gang’s family is a wealthy family in the village. In the early years, he made a lot of money by opening a quarry. He was killed in an accident later, and there was not even a whole body left. There was only a mother-in-law and a [-]-year-old girl left in the family.

In the past two days, rumors spread in the village that Wang Yan, the little girl of Wang Gang's family, has gone crazy!Talking nonsense all day long, sometimes foaming at the mouth and blowing horns, what is even more frightening is that some people say that the little girl is catching snakes all over the house.

There have always been only mice in our village, where did the snakes come from?Everyone went to look, and saw Wang Yan squatting on the ground, reaching out to fish for things in a daze, chanting "snake, snake!"

But there was nothing on the ground, what was she fishing for?Some people said that Chang Xian must have come to collect debts!Wang Gang blew up the big snake to death. This matter is not over yet, and it will harm his wife and children!This has to be extinct to live in peace!
