Chapter 72 Temple Fair 1
The man in black was tall and straight, standing there against the moonlight, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
It just made Ergou feel a chill on his back.
He threw the stone in his hand and couldn't help but take a step back. I just wanted to run back to the yard.
Before I could even turn around, everything went dark in front of me.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a big pit.
There was still water in the pit, which had already reached his neck.
He suddenly panicked.
He wanted to call for help, so he looked up and found a man in black standing on the edge of the pit above his head.
He quickly asked him for help.
As a result, the man in black said nothing.
Ergou was at a loss as he couldn't swim. He instinctively scrambled on the wall of the pit, trying to climb up.
The walls of the pit are covered with mud, but it is very soft.
As he exerted force, the soil on the wall of the pit fell down.
There is no way to leverage.
He tried his best but was still at the bottom of the pit.
Instead, his head and face were covered with dirt, which turned into mud when it got wet, making him look extremely miserable.
Suddenly something fell from the pit, something long and thin.
He was delighted, thinking it was a rope.
He thought it was the man in black above who wanted to save him.
He hurriedly grabbed the rope, but when he exerted force, the rope suddenly bit him.
Only then did he realize that it was actually a long, thin snake.
The palm of his hand was bitten, and the piercing pain instantly spread throughout his limbs.
It suddenly reminded him of the unfortunate experience that happened three months ago.
He shouted hoarsely, "Help, help!"
"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
"I really won't dare to do that next time!"
"Please let me go!"
He felt that the man in black above the pit must be one of those people from three months ago.
Because only those few people are so cruel and ruthless! The means are cruel!
He suddenly felt a little regretful as he had finally recovered from his injuries.
Why are you running out tonight? Isn't this simply seeking death?
The man in black said nothing, but suddenly picked up a shovel and started shoveling soil into the pit.
Ergou screamed in fright.
He couldn't figure it out, he just glanced at the little girl a few times.
Why did the other party hate him so much that he wanted to bury him alive...
Why is this happening?
Gradually, there was more and more soil.
He struggled hard, but his body was covered in mud.
He was sinking deeper and deeper.
In the end, only his desperate eyes were revealed.
…
Another month after this incident, Yang Jixiang took Zheng Feng to Haojiagou Village.
The relationship between the two families remains the same.
Yang Jixiang mentioned something inadvertently.
"I don't know what happened to Ergou, he suddenly disappeared one day."
"His parents have been looking for him for almost a month!"
"There is no news from him at all!"
Hao hated that scumbag, "I guess he has offended someone again!"
"Run away and hide!"
Yang Jixiang nodded, thinking that what she said made sense.
"I used to think that God was unfair, for making my Feng'er so confused!"
"But look at that Er Gou again!"
"I think our Feng'er is pretty good!"
"At least it won't harm anyone! And I won't be punished!"
Hao nodded, "Yes!"
From then on, there was no such person as Ergou in the world...
That’s all for later.
Let me come back to this.
The day after Liu Shiqi and his friends returned to the village was the village’s annual grand temple fair.
Because there is a century-old temple halfway up the mountain at the innermost part of their village.
As for how long it has existed, no one can tell for sure.
Anyway, this temple has been there in Haojiagou Village as long as people can remember.
There is a stone statue of a goddess enshrined inside.
The goddess statue has a relaxed brow and a calm expression. He looks compassionate.
But as to what kind of god it is, no one can clearly explain its origin.
Just because the goddess temple is backed by a big green mountain, people habitually call her the Holy Mother of Green Mountain.
Moreover, Our Lady of Qingshan is very effective.
People come here to pray for marriage, children, fame, fortune, and everything else!
I can’t say it’s 100% effective, but it does work in many cases.
Gradually, the reputation of Our Lady of Qingshan became more and more famous.
Therefore, it is said that the first day of August every year is the birthday of the Holy Mother of Qingshan.
The village will open the temple doors wide so that everyone can burn incense and pray!
The incense burning time is three days, from the first to the third day of August.
People from the surrounding villages, towns and counties would come here to visit.
During these three days, many small vendors will come to the main street of Haojiagou Village, bringing their goods to set up stalls and do business.
In this way, a narrow main street in the village would be blocked.
There are also opera troupes in the county that set up a stage in the temple to perform.
There were also wealthy families from the town and county who came to burn incense, pray and light firecrackers. Finally, offer money for merit.
These are also the three busiest days of the year in Haojiagou Village.
There are also many families in the village who set up stalls in front of their houses to sell fruits, vegetables, or tea from the village.
Therefore, these three days are also the three days when the villagers earn the most.
Liu Shiqi's house is right on this main road.
It was early in the morning, before daybreak.
She was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside.
This was followed by bursts of firecrackers.
Well, I couldn't sleep at all.
Liu Shiqi had no choice but to get up.
She washed up and had breakfast.
Then I saw Hao, Bai Shuang, Liu Zheng, Liu Yong and others carrying tables and chairs and going out of the door.
She followed him out out of curiosity, only to find out that her mother also had a small stall at the door.
His grandfather had already moved a small stool and was sitting behind the stall waiting for business.
The stall is about two meters long and one meter wide.
There are some herbs collected by my grandfather and mother on it.
There is a handkerchief embroidered by Baishuang herself.
There is tea.
There were also some wild rabbits, pheasants and other things that his father shot.
The main point is, sell whatever you have at home that can be sold!
Liu Shiqi also became interested. She asked, "Mom, where is the medicinal soap we made?"
"How about selling it too?"
Things like beauty pills definitely won’t sell at the stall because they’re a bit expensive.
Most of the people who can visit these stalls are ordinary people.
But ordinary medicated soap is cheap, so there shouldn’t be any problem.
Hao smiled and said, "I just wanted to tell you about this!"
"Then let's lay them out!"
“Sell as much as you can!”
They made about forty or fifty pieces of medicated soaps in various shapes and placed them on the stall.
The small stall was instantly filled with things.
It looks very lively.
Not long after, Liu Zheng took out a stack of portraits he had drawn and put them on the stall.
Liu Shiqi was curious, "What is this?"
“Can you sell it?”
Liu Zheng smiled, "This is a portrait of the Holy Mother of Qingshan!"
“This portrait sells very well every year!”
Liu Shiqi took one and looked at it curiously.
It's just a simple ink figure painting, in black and white.
The Our Lady of Qingshan in the painting is dressed in solemn attire and has a calm expression.
Liu Shiqi was stunned when he saw her eyebrows.
