Chapter 2

Tao Hua Town didn't have Tao Hua, but it couldn't be without Granny Tao Hua.The children in Tao Hua Town liked Granny Wang more.
Not only could Granny Wang tell a lot of good stories, but her riddles were also absolute.Granny Tao Hua had a legend that the people of Tao Hua Town didn't have.
She didn't know how much she had experienced.
In short, she had experienced everything she had experienced since the age of Jia Qing.
She had also experienced things that she shouldn't have experienced.There were two mysteries in Tao Hua Town: the first was Xiao Fengzi's background, and the second was granny Tao Hua's legendary experience.They did not understand.
They did not need to understand.
What they needed to understand now was to survive and get out of this predicament.There was a town thirty miles away from the town, a wall away from the town.This was unacceptable to the citizens of the other towns, but this was a matter of heaven and earth for the town of Rhoka.
There was a road straight to the county in Wood Town, and the town of Rhoca Town did not.
This was the only thing that sealed the mouths of the people of Rhoca Town.There was a gap in the southwest corner of the town - Bronze Ridge Pass.
This was the only road between the town and the outside world, but it was only a small road with a sheep's heart.
The walls on both sides of the gate were paved with huge stones to prevent the invasion of outer demons.
It was now barren, but it reminded people of the war here.Bao Dao Mountain was one hundred and six hundred meters above sea level.
It couldn't be considered a tall mountain.
It was the southernmost mountain range of Rhoka Town.
It stretched for dozens of miles like a natural barrier that isolated Rhoka Town from the world.When the town reached Bao Dao Mountain, it was more accurate to say that it was 18 miles away.
The mountain seemed to be in front of them, but the road was still so far away.
There were two villages in the town.
One was Xiao Village, and most of them had the surname Xiao.
The entire village had 382 households.
The other one was Lin Village, and 70% of the villagers had the surname Lin, and the entire village had 39911 households.There was a lion mountain between Xiao Village and Lin Village.
The shape of the mountain was like a sleeping lion, so it was called Lion Mountain.
The path to Lin Village was a short path under the lion mountain, and at the same time, a river was downstream.The fields of Xiao Village were upstream of the river, and the fields of Lin Village were downstream of the river.
Both villages relied on the river water to feed themselves.
Because of this, from time to time, the two villages would fight due to the river water, and the two villages would become enemies for generations.
They would die of old age and never interact with each other.
Even children were not allowed to talk to each other.
Otherwise, they would be punished by the family law, let alone be married.Xiao Village and Lin Village had been harmonious for generations, and they had been married together.
Everyone enjoyed the same thing.
Xiao Village and Lin Village loved to set firecrackers every year during Chinese New Year, and the type of firecrackers evolved into more than ten types.
Every thirty years of New Year, they would communicate in this special way.Xiao Village liked to put it on the top of Lion Mountain.
His voice spread far to show his strength.There were no high mountains near Lin Village, so they went to the top of the Mountain of Killed Women.
It was strange that there was a large flat blue stone on the mountains of the Mountain of Killed Women and Lions, as if it was prepared for the two villages.The two villages continued in this way.
As soon as the New Year came, the firecrackers became Roka Town's pets.
People from the outer towns often came to Roca Town to sell the firecrackers.There was a year when a Feng Shui teacher came to Rhoka Town.
He saw Lion Mountain at a glance and said to the people of Xiao village, "This mountain is Fushan.
Look, the lion is in deep sleep.
Every year on the eve of the New Year, it must be awakened with a firecracker.
It will be easy for the wind and rain in the future."Xiao Village treated Mister Fengshui well.
Before leaving, Mister Fengshui didn't accept the gifts and money that Xiao Village gave him.
He left without any hesitation.
In the eyes of the villagers, this was the descent of a deity into the mortal world and giving them some guidance.
It was to the extent that every year, they had to go to the top of the Lion Mountain to awaken the Lions.Mr.
Fengshui came back to the village and said to the villagers, "There is a lion mountain behind you.
As long as someone sets firecrackers on the top of the mountain and wakes the lion, the lion will hurt people.
Every year, a young man will die in your village."The villagers were half-convinced by Mr.
Yu Fengshui's words, and then tried to ask, "Is there a way to break it?""There are two ways to break it.
One is not to let people set firecrackers on lions' mountains and let the lions sleep forever.
The other is to set firecrackers on women's mountains, but they must surpass lion's."Mr.
Fengshui left after speaking, but the villagers didn't pay much attention to him.
It was strange that in the next three years, a young man who wasn't even thirty years old died in Lin Village.
Everyone in the village believed Mr.
Fengshui's words.
Therefore, the villagers of Lin Village asked the people of Xiao Village not to set firecrackers on Lion Mountain.However, the people of Xiao Village didn't agree to anything.
Just like that, the people of the two villages started fighting.
After fighting for one day and one night, more than ten people died in Lin Village and the chief of Xiao Village was killed.From then on, the two villages set a rule that the people of the two villages were not allowed to interact with each other.
Otherwise, they would be expelled from Rhoka Town.
Since Lin Village couldn't convince Xiao Village, they could only buy firecrackers to fight against Xiao Village every year, and this rule continued until now.In the middle of Xiao Village's village was the Xiao Family's ancestral hall.
This was the place where Xiao Village's ancestors and important matters were celebrated.
The Xiao Family's ancestral hall was built with green bricks and grey tiles, and there was a large stone lion at the front of the door, which further accentuated the majesty of the ancestral hall.
The doors of the ancestral hall were closed all day long, and only when there was a sacrifice would the door open.The ancestral hall didn't see sunlight for a long time, making it even more eerie and terrifying.
In addition to the ox head and goat brain used for worshipping, it was even more terrifying.The Xiao Family Ancestral Hall was the symbol of Xiao Village.
It was the dignity of Xiao Village, sacred and inviolable.
The plaza in front of Xiao Village's Ancestral Hall was the child's paradise.Xiao Xiaoxiao liked to listen to grandma's stories, and he liked grandma's riddles.
His older sister, Tao Hua, liked grandma's stories more.
This was her only source of energy.
Grandma was old and could only cook and feed pigs.
She should be enjoying her retirement now, but she couldn't.
She had to be busy at home.Tao Hua's heart ached at the thought of this, but she had no choice.
Her family's younger brother was still young, and she was the only labor member in the family.
She had to shoulder the burden of her family.
Every day, when she finished her work, she felt as if her body had been torn apart.
She really wanted to find someone to lean into his arms and cry.
However, she couldn't.
She knew that she was the family's support, so she had to be alert and not let her family see her worries.
Otherwise, her emotions would be a fatal blow to her family.Every day she straightened her back and forced herself to do the work in the field, even though her life was still so tense; and fortunately, she had barely lived under the order of her arrangements.The villagers were cheerful, lively, and motivated, and many young men came knocking on Tao Hua's door.
In the end, Tao Hua's only request was for her to take on the responsibility of her family.
The villagers knew her family well, and none of them were willing to shoulder the responsibility of having no end.Granny Tao Hua understood her granddaughter's feelings.
She had advised Tao Hua more than once, "Tao Hua, there are so many good guys in the village.
Choose one of them.
Don't take care of the family.
Your parents and I have our ways."It would be fine if she didn't bring up her parents, but when she mentioned her parents, Tao Hua was even more heartbroken.
Besides, her father couldn't do anything else.
Her mother's life was so crazy that she couldn't take care of herself.
How could she abandon this family?"Grandma, don't try to persuade me anymore.
I've already made up my mind.
I'd rather not marry in this lifetime.""Sigh, the child has wronged you.
"Tears streamed down Granny Tao Hua's cheeks.
She didn't know what she had done wrong in this life.
She had tortured her and her children in this life.
Heavens!
Please bless my children!
I've knelt down for you.
Open your eyes and take a look.
I pity my Tao Hua.
I've kowtowed to your children.Granny Tao Hua knelt in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet and kept kowtowing.
She really hoped that the ancestor would be merciful!
