Chapter 66 The Strange Child

There are basically no young people in the village. It has been many years since the reform and opening up, and it is very close to Huadu City, so almost all young and middle-aged people have gone to Huadu City to work. There are also some quick-minded people who made a lot of money outside, became bosses, and moved their entire families to big cities.

Only a few old people with nostalgic feelings are left at home, so that they can not only return to their roots, but also cultivate their morality. In this kind of mountain village, the air is much better than in big cities. According to Xiao Xinghua, there are only three or four families in the village now.

"Old man, the feng shui of your hometown is very good!" After getting off the car, Xiao Fei looked at the surrounding towering mountains and the clear sky and said to Xiao Xinghua. The two big mountains in front of the village form an encircling momentum, as if a pair of big hands are embracing the sun and the moon.

"Little monk, you are a monk and you know Feng Shui?" Chen Mengqi asked strangely. In her mind, the main job of a monk is to recite scriptures and practice martial arts, and he is not in the same unit as those quacks who understand Fengshui.

"I don't know anything about Fengshui, I just can see aura." Xiao Fei said, looking at Fengshui for fortune-telling is nothing to him. Others want to understand Feng Shui or fortune-telling, and they have to learn complicated metaphysical knowledge, but he only needs to use his eyes to see.

Those places with good Fengshui, in Xiao Fei's eyes, are full of aura. Feng shui secret fortune-telling is something that ordinary people can master, it is very low-level, and it is not necessarily accurate. As for cultivating immortals, it is the highest level, and you can see it at a glance.

So although he didn't learn those miscellaneous things, his ability is much stronger than those Fengshui masters. To be exact, the two are not at the same level. Master Fengshui is a mortal, but he is a cultivator of immortality.

"Since you said the feng shui here is very good, how could there be a problem with my luck?" the old man asked.

"I'll talk about it later when I go to the mountain to have a look." Xiao Fei said. At this time, he was also very puzzled, the feng shui here was indeed very good, and there was nothing evil about it.

Turning around suddenly, I saw a little boy about four or five years old playing on the ridge of the field. Squatting on the ground, as if playing with ants with a branch. The little boy was wearing a red bellyband and his butt was bare, looking very cute.

Although he was playing on the ridge, his body was very clean without any dirt.

Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, he had found the reason, and asked Xiao Xinghua: "Old man, whose family is this child, do you know him?"

"I don't know." Xiao Xinghua said, "I haven't been back to my hometown for decades, maybe it's the grandson of that family."

In rural areas, this kind of thing is very perennial. Young people have gone out to work, leaving the elderly to look after their grandchildren.

"That kid is so cute!" Seeing this cute little boy, the three girls immediately became overwhelmed with love.

"Look at him with his pants on!" Lin Xiaowu said

"There's still little Dingding down there..." Chen Mengqi said.

And the little boy saw a stranger paying attention to him, so he stood up. He looked at this group of people curiously for a while, and then ran away in a hurry.

"Uh, he's afraid of us?" Lan Yudie said.

"Little brother, don't run away, come here and give you candy?" Lin Xiaowu yelled. However, the little boy ignored it and ran towards the foot of the mountain instead of entering the village.

"Perhaps, he is a child from a neighboring village." Xiao Xinghua said.

"At this moment, several villagers came to inquire and received Xiao Xinghua warmly. The people left behind in the village are all elderly people in their sixties and seventies, all very old." Hello, Uncle Hua! An old man shouted. Xiao Xinghua was in his seventies, about the same age as them, but he was called Uncle because he had a higher seniority in the village.

"Brother Hua!" The others called Big Brother.

"You are all right too!" Xiao Xinghua said with a smile.

Xiao Xinghua is a big man in the village and a high-ranking general in the city, so he is especially respected in the village. As soon as he comes back, every household will receive him warmly. Moreover, he will take turns inviting him to be a guest at home.

"I'll take a look around with them first." Seeing people from the village, Xiao Fei said to Xiao Xinghua.

"Okay." The old man nodded. Then, Xiao Fei took the three girls and went up the mountain together.

"Uncle Hua, who are they, are they all your grandchildren?" an old man asked.

"No." Xiao Xinghua said, "I came back this time mainly to visit my ancestors' graves. That little monk is a mage I invited to perform rituals. The other three girls are all descendants of my comrades-in-arms. They have never been here before." In the countryside, I thought it was fun, so I pestered me to bring them over to play. For the sake of my old comrades-in-arms, I couldn't refuse."

"So that's how it is." Hearing that the little monk was invited by Xiao Xinghua to perform rituals, an old man said in surprise, "That little monk looks like he's only in his teens, he can perform rituals?"

"He is a direct disciple of an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. Regardless of his young age, he has a deep cultivation of Buddhism." Xiao Xinghua said, but did not tell these people the truth.

"Tsk tsk, such a young monk, the Dharma is profound! I have lived for such a long time, and this is the first time I have seen it." The old man said just now, "Uncle Hua, it is hard for you to go home once. Stay in my hometown for a while, you are a big shot in our village. Everyone wants to cling to your noble spirit and want to have a few more drinks with you."

"Okay, okay, okay." Xiao Xinghua said enthusiastically.

He also knew that since he returned to his hometown, these entertainments would be unavoidable. Therefore, let the little monk handle other things by himself, and he can just be responsible for entertainment. And he also knew that people of Xiao Fei's age don't like to stay with those old men and women.

...

Xiao Fei took the three girls and walked up the mountain. And the direction he was walking was exactly the direction in which the little boy ran away.

"Little monk, since you said that the feng shui here is very good, there should be no ghosts." Chen Mengqi asked on the way.

"Of course not." Xiao Fei said, "Throw away those mahogany swords and bronze mirrors in your hands. Didn't you see just now, how strange are the eyes of those villagers looking at you?"

"It's true." Lan Yudie said, "We hold these things, and we don't feel it when no one is around. When I saw those villagers just now, I knew that we were a bunch of teasers in their eyes."

After speaking, Lan Yudie threw the Dao Talisman into the grass. And Lin Xiaowu and Chen Mengqi also helplessly threw away the mahogany sword and bronze mirror in their hands.

"It's just that there are no ghosts here, it's really boring." Lin Xiaowu said.

"Then, isn't our trip here for nothing? We can't see anything?" Chen Mengqi also said disappointedly.

"Boring? Not necessarily." Xiao Fei said, "Although there are no ghosts here, there are more interesting things than ghosts."
