In the dead of night, it was quiet, and snowflakes fell on the roof.
The sound of the wind was not too loud, and the watchman yawned and walked to the door with his shoes, peering out.
There is only a thin layer of snow, and the guard rubs his hands safely and goes back. When it’s freezing cold, he doesn’t need to patrol the streets in the county town to make changes, as long as he beats the drums in this small yard. Just fine. Anyway, the county seat of Zhushan County is so small that there are only one street in total, and only a few hundred families live.
This year, Xue Zhixian asked them to pay attention to the wind and snow during the night vigil. Once there is a trend of snow disaster, they must immediately sound the gong to notify the county government.
This is not difficult, and there is a small can of wine to warm up during the night's vigil.
The wine is of inferior quality. Outside the Northland, this wine cannot be sold at a high price. It is made from potatoes. The wine without millet and wheat is soft and smooth, but this wine is very rushing and topping. It's just right to drink this season. Especially cheap, potatoes are a large piece of food that can be eaten and brewed, while other food and wine are too extravagant for the poor.
When the war was scarce of food, the government did not even allow wine to be brewed. The only folks who could drink and eat large pieces of meat were the green forest heroes, or thieves and bandits.
There is only wine and no meat in the groom's room, but there is a small dish of dried tofu that is properly marinated.
He hummed the melody of the deserted tune, walked to the fire, ready to pick up the warm wine jar on it.
"Knock Knock Knock..."
The wine jar made a slight collision with the lid, as if it had been boiled.
Almost at the same time, the ground under my feet was shaking, and the basket hanging from the beam began to sway.
I encountered an earthquake last year, and the watchman was shocked and rushed out of the yard.
Thinking about it, he felt wrong, and then quickly touched the house to find the gongs and drums, and struck desperately in horror.
"All woke up, the earth dragon turned over."
Just like a muffled thunder in the dark night, lights were lit one after another in the silent house, and more people were too late to light the lights, draped in quilts and hugged their children and ran into the yard and the street in a panic.
Half of the run, I didn't feel the violent vibration or turbulence, and I suddenly felt suspicious.
"What's the matter?"
"Wait, it looks like under the ground..."
Everyone's eyes are falling, barely feeling the slight tremor from the soles of their feet.
To be honest, this level is like someone hammering a hammer through a thick layer of soil.
It's muffled, I can't hear the sound at all, and even this numb feeling is like an illusion.
Everyone looked at each other, the watchman flushed, and hissed: "It's the earth dragon turning over, and the objects in the house are shaking."
People with audacity, went back to their house and took a look, but no, the sausages and peppers hanging in the kitchen were swaying slightly.
"Lingjun, look at this..."
Master Li was wrapped in a quilt and moved bloatedly and hard.
Xue Ting held the thickest pine tree in the backyard of the county office with one hand, and a slight tremor came from the bottom of his palm.
What's going on here, is the underground river diversion? Or a certain section of Qi Mao Mountain not far away collapsed?
Xue Ting was completely confused, and personally took someone out to find out the situation.
"Lingjun, the sky is too dark, and the road is not easy." Li Shiye persuaded.
There were not many people stationed in the yamen, all of them yawned and stood by their eyelids.
If you want to investigate the entire Zhushan County, only this little person is not enough. During Xue Ting's hesitation, the strange feeling of tremor has gradually become weak.
After waiting for a while, people started to walk home in twos and threes, not because they were not afraid, but because it was too cold outside.
They didn't dared to fall asleep right away, but sat near the windows and doors, and some packed their things, for fear that the house would collapse and the food would be buried in.
——The tremor is getting milder, and you even need to lie on your stomach with your ears close to the ground to feel movement.
"It's not like an earth dragon turning over, but like an earth dragon snoring."
In the medicine store, Aunt Ge held the dozing Tang Xiaotang in her arms, and said, "Don't boil it anymore, just go to sleep, I don't think something will happen."
Uncle Ge still has some doubts, and said with a sad face: "Doctor Mo and Mr. Meng went into the mountain earlier today. I don’t know what’s going on at Jimao Mountain. Will something happen in the mountain and spread the shock. Here?"
"Bah, baah, don't say frustrating words."
Auntie Ge quickly glanced at the main house and complained with her throat, "You lower your voice, Mr. Qin is getting older, do you want his elderly to be so worried that he can't sleep, and go to the mountain overnight to find someone? "
Uncle Ge didn't dare to speak immediately.
Qin Lu was not only awake, but also heard the conversation clearly. He did have a headache, but it was not because of worry.
"What the old man told them to be suitable for them, did he make a deaf ear?"
Mr. Qin was a bit angry. Last year, Qi Maoshan turned into a dragon and made a lot of noise. Mr. Qin bit his head and told Moli and Meng Qi to pay attention. Don’t pay attention to it and go to heaven again, scared. The people of Zhushan County.
So these two dragon veins entered the ground?
Mr. Qin has a headache, and Mr. Qin is worried, how should I explain to Xue Lingjun when it's dawn?
Forget it, go to bed first, pretending to be a big deal.
After all, it is impossible for the genius doctor to know why the earth dragon woke up and didn't turn over.
Qin Lu felt relieved and fell asleep.
Even when the tremor reappeared, he didn't even lift his eyelids.
Over there, Auntie Ge and other people again determined that this is the ground dragon snoring. Look at the ups and downs of the ups and downs, look at the speed and even the traceable frequency. Besides, it’s not the ground dragon snoring. Someone digs the ground and wants to dig a mountain!
There is no such thing as a mountain chisel, nine times lighter and once heavy, how about this grinding beans?
Someone was stunned by such a shock and fell asleep.
Others wore cotton-padded jackets and leather caps enthusiastically, and went out carrying lanterns to see what happened.
I didn't dare to enter the mountain in the dark, so I looked for the place where the vibration was the greatest. As a result, a group of people wandered around the county seat, but they didn't find this point. His body was blown cold by the cold wind, so he rubbed his hands and went home angrily to go to sleep.
At four shifts, this strange tremor disappeared.
The next day, almost all the people in the city slept three times a day, including Xue Ting.
When he woke up, he watched the wind stop and the snow stopped outside the window, the sky was completely bright, and he didn't even remember when he fell asleep. He didn't even take off his robe and cotton coat, so he just fell asleep on the couch and almost fell asleep now. I thought I was drugged.
After a hurried inspection, Xue Ting found that he was refreshed, and there was no problem with sleeping position on his back.
Xue Ting was still the first to wake up. He even yelled and awakened Master Li, who was wrapped in a quilt, with a group of yamen. Everyone was a little muddled and seemed to be confused as to why he was not in bed but was playing here. Sleepy.
Finally recalling what he had discovered last night, Qin Ta quickly suspected that he was dreaming.
After all, the house hasn't collapsed, things haven't broken, and people have done nothing wrong. How can the ground shake?
"Will this be... a precursor to the earth dragon turning over?"
Master Li thinks a lot. He has read many local chronicles. Some people saw golden light in the mountains before the ground moved, and some heard the sound of gurgling and churning in the well before the ground moved, and even the sound of carts and horses moving around. .
To talk about strange things, there are really many things throughout the ages, and there is no reasonable explanation for each of them.
Xue Ting pondered for a while, and felt that Master Li made sense. He was going to the field to see the situation. If the earth dragon turns over, the hibernating snakes and frogs will come out, and the rat infestation may become a disaster.
"Wait, let someone go to the drugstore to report a letter."
***
The snake didn't get out of the hole, and the rat didn't run around.
——It’s not the earth moving, it’s the earth veins and spiritual energy.
The chickens in the sheds sleep more dead than people. It's rare that Qi Maoshan is generous once. It's good for this creature of a hundred li to not continue?
The people who went to the pharmacy from the county government rushed to the air, and Qin Lu had already entered the mountain.
——Thirty-six strategies, take the best.
——Although you can't find the dragon veins even in the mountains, you can live in the mountain temple and let the dragon veins find yourself.
Xue Ting can't fault it. Qin Lu used to live in seclusion in the mountains and often collect medicine. It can be said that he is very familiar with everything about Qi Mao Mountain. Now he is worried about the changes in the mountains, and he is willing to see it in person. What made Xue Ting concerned was that he did not see the shadow of Moli Mengqi.
"Doctor Mo, they entered the mountain yesterday..."
It’s hard not to doubt whether something happened to the front foot into the mountain.
But these battles are not like things that people can toss out! Xue Ting was deeply confused. He always felt that the truth was only one step away from him. What was separated was not a wall but a paper screen, but he couldn't see the opposite.
The culprit is dreaming.
It's still the cave with Lingquan Lake, and sunlight leaks in through the cracks in the dome, falling like golden threads on the water.
Since last night, the pool water is like a boiled pot, bubbling with churn.
Then there was a thick white mist on the water. The mist spread wider and wider until it enveloped the entire cave. Finally, it soared up through the gaps in the cave and covered the moon. The dark clouds were scattered and replaced by snow. The situation turned down, and there was no wind and snow in the second half of the night.
The mist transforms the dragon into the earth veins.
The disk is entangled, the colors of gold and black are unknown, and the scales interact with each other without gaps.
All of this is covered by the night, and there are few people in the mountains, no one can see the whole picture.
The mountains and rocks are strong, and the abnormality of the ground veins is not obvious in Qimao Mountain. The flatter the place, especially by the river, the more obvious this sign is. The original frozen place is all broken ice, and the river water mixes these ice blocks. Regular collision and rubbing.
Sometimes violent, sometimes mild.
Finally, the hard ice melted and shattered, and layers of white foam appeared after the river washed.
The spiritual energy of the earth veins slowly receded, and after dawn, the frothed ice was frozen in the river again, forming a peculiar sight.
The sun is rising and the moon is setting. It is noon now.
Under the confluence of heaven and earth, the fog in the cave finally completely dissipated. First, a phantom of a fish appeared in the pool, and then there was also a soft circle in the golden net "woven" by the sun above the pool. group.
One breath and one breath, the tide rises and falls.
"Boom."
The shadows turned into reality, and the gerbils fell into the water.
Lou Tomus opened his eyes and pulled up short paws.
——Why is it sinking all the time?
In an instant, the gerbil disappeared and became a Meng Qi who was able to save himself.
He reached out and caught a fish in the water.
The cold touch of the scales hadn't disappeared, so they met Moli's eyes.
The snow-white texture, with a small black scale remaining between the limbs and waist and abdomen, showing a different kind of monster.
"Ali, come to bask in the sun."
"..."
Four arms are intertwined, intimate.
Except for the cold water pool without clothes on, there are only a dozen lines of sunlight, and there is nothing wrong with the sun.
