Chapter 60 An early autumn festival
There are many scattered villages in the mountains on this border.
Just say that there are four or five villages in this mountain col.
The distance between each village is only two or three kilometers.
It is only six or seven kilometers long.
Several villages are relatively close to each other. If you go out to collect firewood or herd cattle, you can see people from the next village.
Therefore, many people have formed marriages between the two villages.
Of course, except for the destroyed Gecun.
In fact, there are no secrets among fellow villagers.
Most of the surrounding villages knew what Ge Cun was doing.
They kept silent just because of the "Mr. Zheng" behind Ge Cun.
Many villagers saw them carrying guns!
Because of this, after the disaster occurred, these villages did not pay attention to the destruction of Ge Village at all.
No sympathy at all.
On the contrary, it is a bit satisfying.
This is retribution from God!
As for things harming their own kind?
hehe!
Who is in the same category as Katsura?
For local villagers, the loss of wheat and other crops is the most concerning thing.
After all, farmers only rely on this harvest all year long.
Therefore, when they heard that Zhoubao was blessed by an immortal, and that he was also an immortal who could make the land rich, they immediately took action.
Today, in a small rural restaurant, several village elders are changing glasses.
In addition to the village chief of Zhoubao, there are also the village chiefs of several nearby villages.
They are Jiangjiagou, Niujiacun, Xinjiatun and Tengjiabao.
These villages are connected by the same spirit. When encountering any major issues, they will naturally sit together and discuss them together.
"Brother, it's not that we don't want to keep it secret, but if we want the gods to protect our harvest this year, we must worship the gods." The village head of Jiangjia Village was the first to speak.
Village Chief Jiang is a skinny farmer with a very peaceful face.
"That's right, if we don't worship gods, why should we be protected by others?" the head of Niujia Village echoed.
This village chief Niu is a man with a simple face. In his concept, only those who pay will be rewarded. This is true.
Village Chief Zhou let out a long sigh.
"But now... Alas! The higher ups don't allow us to do this. The reason why we can worship is because they are our ancestors? This is a traditional custom and not a superstition. But you..."
Suddenly, Village Chief Niu turned to look at the village chief of Xinjiatun.
"Xiao Xin, you are a college student, please come up with an idea."
The village chief of Xinjiatun is a college student who responded to the country's call and returned to the village to become a village official.
At this time, he pursed his lips tightly and was in a trance.
Village Chief Xiao Xin felt that his three views were about to be shattered.
As a new-age college student, he doesn't believe in any ghosts at all.
But……
There was no loss of the field.
That little girl who was out of place, with eyes of different colors.
And the little grizzly bear who understands human speech...
To be honest, Village Chief Xiaoxin is trying hard to repair his fragile outlook on life, so he has no time to care about anything else.
"Xiao Xin?" Village Chief Niu saw that he was ignoring him and quickly pushed him.
"Hey, don't make things difficult for the child!" Village Chief Zhou, with gray hair and beard, pressed Village Chief Niu's hand.
"This child is probably...what do they say in popular words now? It's called doubting life."
The village chiefs thought about it, and they were right, so they put Village Chief Xiao Xin aside with a smile and asked him to be quiet.
After a long while, Village Chief Xiaoxin finally came to his senses.
After being in disbelief, the responsibility that belonged to the village leader made him rethink the harvest.
“It’s obviously not advisable to directly ask people to worship God in the official name.”
Village Chief Xiaoxin pushed up his glasses and said slowly.
"However, we can think of other ways. For example... traditional folk activities? Building characteristic tourist buildings? And... some villagers spontaneously worship. As long as it does not affect normal work and life and does not gather illegally, we actually do not need to control it. Isn’t it?”
…
"Because Zhoubao was blessed by God, it has a good harvest!"
Recently, this news has spread wildly in Shiliba Village.
The village constantly hears top-secret news from the daughters, nieces, etc. who have married into the neighboring village.
Afterwards, the village chiefs of each village emphasized over and over again that they should not gather to engage in superstitious activities.
If you can't gather together, then worship secretly at your own home.
However, gradually some people built a thatched house in their fields.
A very simple adobe was provided in the thatched house.
Every day when you go to the fields, you pray.
At this time, Yi Jincang and Wei Gang were squatting in the field, looking at such thatched houses rising from the ground, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.
"This situation is not good..." Yi Jincang looked worried.
Wei Gang shook his head helplessly: "So what if it's bad? The problem is that Zhou Anzhi's so-called "land" can indeed produce a good harvest. For farmers, filling their stomachs is the most important thing."
After saying that, the two of them squatted in the field together, sighing to the sky like sad old farmers.
I have to say that this period of country life has changed the temperament of these two people.
…
Li Ge suddenly discovered that Zhou Anzhi collected more tokens every day.
Originally, only about 80 points were collected every day, but now it has reached 180 points.
A whole hundred points more!
Based on current trends, it is estimated that the remaining villages have also begun to worship the land.
No, in addition to Zhoubao, there are five additional villages nearby!
Why hasn’t faith reached five times its original value?
However, Li Ge thought about it for a while and understood.
Zhou Anzhi is the ancestor of the old Zhou family!
It is a custom for them to worship Zhou Anzhi, something that goes deep into their souls.
Even if there is no benefit, people in Zhoubao will habitually bow to him when they encounter something.
Not to mention that Li Ge took the lead in injecting energy into Zhoubao's fields.
However, people in other villages are not like this.
They are not as sincere as the Zhoubao people.
Moreover, even if they worship the gods now, the farmland will not change at all. Therefore, the current mentality is probably - just worship casually, if it has an effect, it is better, if it doesn't, forget it.
With the mentality of better than nothing, each village chief began to plan the autumn harvest activities in a month's time, and decided to include the part of offering sacrifices to the land.
Li Ge felt that the time was ripe.
"Let them advance the Autumn Harvest Festival by one month. The sooner the better." Li Ge ordered Zhou An, "Then, let them do this..."
…
Moving the fixed event time forward is a big deal.
Therefore, when Village Chief Zhou first proposed it, other village chiefs were still hesitant.
However, for the sake of harvest, I could only grit my teeth and agree.
As soon as the news spread, every village was excited.
If not for anything else, it was because this Autumn Harvest Festival was too abnormal.
The village chief actually asked the villagers to buy new seeds and hand them over, saying that they would sprinkle the seeds on the ground when the time came.
It’s already summer, so sowing seeds at this time would be a waste of time, wouldn’t it?
However, each village head specifically emphasized that this requirement should not be forced.
Volunteer!
If you are willing to sow seeds, there is no requirement on the number of seeds.
Also volunteer!
As a result, the villagers took it as a new thing.
It didn't cause any waves.
…
At this time, outside the border of Kyushu.
In a seemingly ordinary small mountain village, the sounds of fighting and shouting could be heard.
"Bang!"
A man fell to the ground with a thud.
At this time, his head was twisted in a strange direction, and it turned out that his cervical vertebra was broken! .
Opposite him, a man with a scarred face stood in a panic, with blood stains on his body.
Around them, there were three or five gunmen pointing at the two people in the center.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The sound of applause came alone.
A man sat on the main seat next to him, looking appreciative.
He's actually an acquaintance.
It's Mr. Zheng who once appeared in Gecun!
"Well done!" Mr. Zheng nodded slightly.
Following Mr. Zheng's words, everyone around him lowered their guns.
"I'm very optimistic about you. Keep working hard, and you will definitely become a core team member. We will have a very important event next, and talents like you are exactly what we need!"
"In life and death duels, you have won consecutively... Let me see..." Mr. Zheng flipped through the booklet in his hand, "Yes, you have won ten games. From today on, you will go with the field team Hunt monsters and gain experience.”
The scarred face suddenly looked happy.
"Thank you Mr. Zheng."
Mr. Zheng smiled slightly and waved his hand.
The others understood and retreated in an orderly manner.
At this time, a man wearing chef's clothes came out of the darkness and walked towards the body on the ground.
"Old rules?" The chef took a deep breath and looked at Mr. Zheng with fear in his eyes.
"Of course, although this person does not have too much physical energy, it is not good to waste it after all." Mr. Zheng did not feel that he would say anything shocking again.
"Shave the bones cleanly. Last time someone ate the bones and almost got into trouble." Mr. Zheng continued.
The chef hurriedly swore: "I won't do it anymore, and I will definitely never do it again!"
"It won't be the best. Last time, you asked me to deal with a subordinate for no reason. Next time, I will deal with you, do you hear me?"
As he spoke, Mr. Zheng's eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light.
It's time for lunch.
Pots and pots of broth were brought out.
All the mercenaries had a great time eating.
For them, these broths can take them further down the road to strengthening.
With every meal you eat, you will become stronger.
As for what kind of meat is this?
What else could there be?
Monster meat!
The core team members fought through life and death!
But, is this really the case?
…
During the scorching heat.
A stream of clear water flows down from the mountains, flowing and swirling along the rocky channels, covering the entire kingdom of life.
At this time, Ge Nan, as the only humanoid creature in this territory, had already taken on the task of managing farming.
Of course, this so-called "farming" does not mean growing food, but taking care of various flowers and plants on the territory.
Nowadays, all kinds of flowers and plants are already flourishing and luxuriant.
