Several terraces in Huagu village are planted with rice, but the area is not large. There are many hills here, which are suitable for the growth of medicinal materials and tea trees, which are also the main source of income for Huagu village.

The middle-aged man and woman walked into the courtyard. Song Zuni happily welcomed them and spoke in Huazu language. Although she didn't understand what it was, it was not difficult to see that they were a family relationship.

Jiang Wuchen and Meng youruo stayed at ease on the second floor until dark. After a long time, song Zuni came upstairs at more than eight o'clock in the evening.

She was carrying a food box with fried vegetables and rice balls in it. She whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, you must be hungry after waiting here for so long."

Jiang Wuchen smiled and said, "it's OK. If you came up just now, I'll give you some dragon liver. You can make dinner for your family. Maybe you don't have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow."

Song Zuni blushed and said, "I haven't seen my parents for a long time. I miss them very much. I think... Take them away from Huagu village."

Meng youruo said, "seeing the prosperity of the outside world, my heart can't stay here quietly."

Song Zuni was noncommittal and said, "there's nothing bad here. My grandmother is very kind to all of us, but... I always feel bound. I don't like it. I'm eager to invest in the outside world.

My parents are not young, and my grandmother is not in good health. Although the old grandmother takes good care of my family, often visits her and gives him medication, I think it's more appropriate to go to the hospital. "

Song Zuni didn't dare to say these words in front of her parents. She only dared to say them in front of Jiang Wuchen and Meng youruo.

She is still very young. She is the only girl in the village who goes to college. He has seen the outside world. The occlusion here makes her more and more painful.

She thinks she doesn't have much ability and doesn't dare to fight against the traditional village rules, let alone the old grandmother, but she feels she can control her own destiny.

So before graduation, she is eager to earn money through internship. The job of tour guide can also earn some money. The outside world she wants is Leigong county. The house price in Leigong county is not high, and the good area is about 5000. After all, it is an important tourist County, and the general place is only 3000.

She felt that she had worked hard for several years and it was still no problem to pay a down payment. Now, there are suddenly two million, not to mention a good house. Even if you buy a small villa in Leigong County, there is no problem.

Her desire for independence and freedom is somewhat similar to Meng youruo, but her courage is far better than Meng youruo.

Meng youruo said, "I support you to live the life you want."

"You have dinner. Don't go down until there is no one outside. Please bother Mr. Jiang to help see here. Although I want to go out, this is my home after all. I hope she will become better."

Jiang Wuchen nodded, picked up the rice ball and ate it. The rice was fragrant and sweet. Jiang Wuchen rarely tasted it before. It may be a wooden container. For some years, it seems unclean in terms of how to brush it. Meng youruo didn't eat it.

"Tour guide song, what is your old grandmother? The elder of Huagu village or... The leader?" Jiang Wuchen used the word leader. He felt that it was inappropriate to use the village head in this isolated village. The leader could control here better than the village head.

Song Zuni said, "grandma is the leader of our Huagu village and the messenger of the spirit!"

Jiang Wuchen smiled, which is expected. If the demon exists, the old grandmother must be a demonized person and control here by various means.

"Spirit messenger? Does the spirit still exist?" Meng youruo asked.

Song Zuni said: "well... I dare not say that my grandmother is the greatest authority here, but she is kind and not as oppressive as you think. She helps us do a lot of things as much as possible. When I went to school, my grandmother sent me at the beginning. In high school, she paid the tuition, including the first year's college expenses, and she helped me."

Jiang Wuchen said, "is there anything magical about grandma?"

Song Zuni said, "she knows medicine and can cure the problem of women's fertility with the help of herbs on the mountain. As long as she drinks her herbs, she can have children."

Meng youruo and Jiang Wuchen look at each other. The old grandmother is afraid to use some means to control fertility.

"Is there anything else?"

Song Zuni shook her head. "At the end of each year, every family has to go to Huagu Ci to worship. My grandmother presides over the worship. I don't like the worship. I'm very tired after each time..."

"What do you worship?"

"I kowtow in the past and thank my ancestors for their upbringing. To tell you the truth... I hate this kind of, feudal and superstitious," Song Zuni said.

"How long did the pilgrimage last?"

"More than ten minutes."

"Do you feel tired in such a short time?" Meng youruo looked at her.

Song Zuni said awkwardly, "my body is OK. Some old people directly fell to the ground tired, and some died after they came back from Huagu CI."

"Where is the ancestral temple?" asked Jiang Wuchen.

Song Zuni said, "the place where I live with my grandparents is next to the innermost part of the village."

"I think I have to go there." Jiang Wuchen said.

Song Zuni was embarrassed when she heard this and said, "my grandmother said that the villagers in Huagu village are very friendly. There are many evil people outside. I don't allow outsiders to come in. I've violated the village rules by bringing you in. If my grandmother knows, I'm afraid I'll be punished."

"What punishment?"

"Go to Huagu temple to punish kneeling." Song Zuni said, with a trace of worry and fear on her face.

Jiang Wuchen thought for a moment and asked, "has anyone in your village been punished for kneeling? Is it very harmful to the body after kneeling?"

Song Zuni nodded repeatedly, "I'm most afraid to go to Huagu temple. Even if I pass by every time, I feel gloomy. Is there a problem there?"

"I need to see it before I know."

"What if the old grandmother knows?"

"Well, I dress up as a person in our village and go to have a look by myself. If a problem is found, I'll run away. If I'm caught, I'll say I sneaked in. How about?" Jiang Wuchen asked.

He still cares about song Zuni's opinion. The girl is kind-hearted. Jiang Wuchen doesn't want to make her feel too embarrassed.

"Is this appropriate? What if you are caught by your old grandmother and locked up in the ancestral hall?"

"Ha ha." Meng youruo smiled and said, "he can't wait."

Just as Jiang Wuchen was preparing to act, there was a fierce sound of gold foil outside, which was very harsh.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Wuchen looks at Song Zuni.

Song Zuni was very flustered, "is this... Is this... A beast attack?"
