Chapter 6 Gu Village (6) I want to kiss
The village chief was extremely angry about the supernatural event that happened in the village! However, he searched the village and found that the door was tightly locked and there was no sign of any outsider in the house.
Anyone who can become the village chief certainly possesses the most powerful force in the village. If there are thieves from outside, the poisonous creatures responsible for guarding the house will dismember the thief.
He could also sense the poisonous creatures eating, but there was no trace.
The village elder's eyes turned into confused mosquito-repellent eyes: Could it be that he was old and his eyes were blurry, and he made a mistake because of his old age? Did he secretly eat the food while dreaming and forget it when he woke up?
But it doesn't matter. There are sixteen new people in the village. The village chief originally planned to collect only a quarter of the food after they were well-fed, but now he plans to collect half.
Times have changed, and now the barrier between the inner and outer worlds is much weaker than before. Yesterday was the first car to arrive in nearly a hundred years, but it will not be the last.
In the future, the bus will frequently bring in more and more new food, and he will no longer need to go into the mountains to hunt. In the future, there will definitely be endless jerky at home, and it is not some hard-to-eat wild boar jerky, but high-quality human jerky.
Even though he said that, the village elder still cursed the thief who stole his food in his heart: He wanted to curse the guy who ate his food to have a rotten heart and lungs! He wanted to die from the poisonous poison!
As soon as he cursed fiercely, the village elder tripped over his left foot and fell to the ground. He fainted and fell into a coma. During the coma, his limbs twitched constantly and foamed at the mouth, like an insect that had been electrocuted.
This was the backlash for his disrespect to the Gu God, especially for a devout believer like the village chief. The more power he gained from the Gu Dao, the more severe the backlash would be.
Tan Yue, who had also eaten the food and a large bowl of it, burped and then sneezed several times in succession.
He didn't think anyone was talking about him. It must be because he caught a cold after being caught in the rain today.
He rubbed his stomach to digest the food, and then asked Guan Shan: "Ashan, how do you take a hot shower at home? Do you have to boil water in the kitchen? Where is the shower room at home?"
The village was quite backward, and all facilities were very primitive. They used earthen stoves for burning fires and candles for lighting. He didn't even see an electric pole in the village, so it was unlikely that there would be electrical appliances such as washing machines and water heaters.
But it's not a big problem. Tan Yue, who lived in the countryside when he was a child, is not a pampered person. Even if it's a little troublesome, he can just boil hot water in a bucket and wash slowly.
Guan Shan had no memory of this. Maybe it was because of the contract between him and Tan Yue, but he couldn't clearly read the latter's past.
So he called upon his spiritual sense and randomly selected a lucky person from the same group of tourists, and looked through the current situation of the outside world from those people's minds.
The gods, who had not had contact with the outside world for many years, were a little shocked by the current technology. The world outside the village is very developed.
However, the ancient courtyard was too out of place in the modern style. It just so happened that some of the memories he extracted were of rich kids who had stayed in hot spring hotels with ancient charm.
An empty room in the yard was converted into a similar installation, with a shower head and a bamboo-shaped water pipe connecting to the kitchen.
And to his surprise, this house also has a special bathroom where clothes can be washed automatically without rubbing by hand.
But Tan Yue didn’t see any electrical wires, so the pipes might be buried underground and hidden.
Guan Shan said: Of course there are no electric wires. The area of Heilongzhai is not that advanced in terms of electrical technology. The washing machine is actually modified from a hydrophilic poisonous insect, which relies on the power of the insect to scrub, wash and dry.
The thing that looks like a light bulb in the village elder's possession actually contains glowing poisonous insects instead of an electric light.
Just now Guanshan installed more than a dozen similar "lamps" in this house.
With these not-so-bright "lights", Tan Yue would not be in complete darkness and unable to see anything even in the middle of the night.
Under Guan Shan's guidance, Tan Yue visited this house where one person lived alone. He was amazed by the ingenious mechanism between the shower room and the kitchen.
You can boil hot water in a small pot in the kitchen and mix it with cold water to make warm water, which makes taking a shower very convenient.
"It's very convenient to use water in this agency..." Although there was no signal on the mobile phone, the camera function was still very useful.
Tan Yue took a lot of photos, then moved his face close to Guan Shan and made a heart shape with his hands to the two of them.
He said excitedly: "Today is a day worth remembering, Ah Shan, let's take a photo. I will print out the photo of the two of us and send it to you later."
Nowadays, many people take photos with their mobile phones, but only a few of them are printed out as physical souvenirs.
As the flash sounded, Tan Yue frowned as he looked at the album. He didn't know if it was because of the light, but his beloved boyfriend couldn't be seen in the photos.
I took several photos in a row, but they were all blurry, as if they were covered with a mosaic filter.
Maybe the phone is broken and can't take a clear portrait, but he doesn't know how to repair the phone: "Strange, this phone has a problem, it can't take a clear portrait. But I can draw it, and it's the same if I frame it!"
At this time, Tan Yue was glad that he was an art student and had good painting skills. Painting by himself was a waste of time and energy, but he could also save the money of developing photos.
There is no way to play with mobile phones in this mountain, so drawing is just the right way to kill time.
Tan Yue said excitedly: "It takes time to boil water, I will draw a sketch for you first."
He took out a folding drawing board from his luggage, set up a stand in the yard, placed a piece of white drawing paper on it, and began to paint.
He was very focused when painting, with all his attention concentrated on the drawing paper and completely ignoring the external environment.
Guan Shan watched him paint quietly at the side. From a very casual stroke on the white paper, a funny outline gradually emerged, and then the details were filled in bit by bit.
From a childish cartoon line drawing to a lifelike character portrait, it was as if a magical spell was cast on the paper in the blink of an eye.
In Guanshan's past memories, many believers had made statues and portraits of him, but those portraits were different from the one in front of him. The shapes were as distorted, ugly and blurry as the one in the Dragon Temple.
The paintings painted by Tan Yue are more beautiful than the reflection that Guan Shan saw in the other's pupils. There is abundant love between the brushstrokes, and tenderness flows under the brush.
Unlike images taken with photographs, portraits can make people understand the painter's emotions better.
Tan Yue wrote very quickly, and it can be said that he finished it in one go. Sketching is not difficult at all for an art student like him who passed the art exam with ease, but because he was so attentive he couldn't help but add a lot of details. He still sat on a small stool for nearly an hour. The finished product was very complete, and his hands were covered with a lot of pencil dust.
"The painting is done." Tan Yue said, "Ashan, do you want this painting?"
This was his first painting of Guanshan. It depicted their first meeting at the Dragon Temple. The background of the painting was clear water and green mountains. It was clearly a black and white pencil drawing, but Guanshan, as the core, seemed to be tinged with a golden halo.
He was quite satisfied with it, but he didn't know whether his lover would like it. If Guan Shan didn't want it, he would frame it himself and keep it well.
Guan Shan looked at himself in the painting for a long time before he uttered two words: "I like it."
He accepted Tan Yue's offering, and would not ask for the latter's things for nothing: "What do you want?"
Believers naturally have something to ask for when they worship gods. The difference lies in what they want. Some want wealth or beauty, while others pursue talent, fame or power.
It's just that the gods have too many believers, and they won't fulfill all their wishes, but Tan Yue is different. Tan Yue is his boyfriend, so even if he makes some excessive wishes, Guan Shan can still fulfill them.
Tan Yue said without hesitation: "You are willing to accept the painting, which is an affirmation and praise for me. I am already very happy. How can I ask for anything else?"
Guan Shan's lips curled up slightly, and he commented sharply, "Hypocrisy."
During his relationship with Guan Shan, Tan Yue discovered that his personality was indeed different from what he had imagined.
After all, the filter of first sight is too thick. The perfect lover in his mind should be beautiful, gentle and kind.
But Guan Shan's character does not seem to be related to the word gentle and kind. He doesn't like to talk much, and his words can even be described as a bit harsh.
He realized belatedly that Guan Shan did not say that he ate for nothing, but that he was an idiot.
But Tan Yue was not hurt by such comments. In his opinion, Guan Shan must have a sharp tongue but a soft heart! Otherwise, he would not have provided food and lodging when he came to bother him.
Guanshan has no parents, so he must have suffered a lot when he was very young.
Tan Yue instantly imagined a pitiful little boy who had stumbled along since childhood. Having seen through the coldness of the world, he could only force himself to harden his heart and use a cold face to hide his soft heart.
He was so busy feeling heartbroken that he had no time to be angry with Guan Shan.
He thought so in his heart, but in action, Tan Yue rushed over, put his hands on the latter's shoulders, and leaned most of his body on the other's thin back. He twisted his body cutely like a big silkworm. "Ashan, I'm so sad when you say that to me. You betrayed my sincerity. No, you have to compensate me!"
Guan Shan snorted: Humans are full of tricks. They say compensation is just a disguised way of asking for return. Moreover, with just two short sentences, they have turned the situation around and made it seem like he owed him something. "Tell me, what compensation do you want?"
Tan Yue's eyes suddenly lit up: "Any compensation is OK?"
Guan Shan's comment was so light and flirtatious that it didn't sound like criticism, but rather like flirting: "Greedy."
Tan Yue then walked around from behind to the front, and sat cross-legged in front of Guan Shan with a serious face. He looked at his lover with curved eyebrows and pointed his fingertips at the shallow dimples on his lips: "I'm not greedy, a kiss is enough!"
