The Greatest Astrologist - Chapter 64
Zhou Qu originally took the expert advisory group to take a look, but the work here is progressing so smoothly, and it should be finalized quickly to avoid recurring waves in the future.
Together, they returned to the base to rest in the evening, and brought their luggage to the workstation the next day to welcome the long field trip that followed.
Batu is stationed at the workstation for a long time, and it is the remaining people who return.
The vehicle was bumpy.
Chu Qianli was shaking in the car. When she got out of the car, she was already dizzy and could only pull on the shoulder strap of Tan Evening Star’s schoolbag, and slowly followed him back to the base: “Why do I feel that I have been in the car for the past two days? “
“You feel right.”
“This commute time even surpasses first-tier cities.”
Pan Yicheng will also arrange the work of other members of the expert advisory group. Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing will first go to the cafeteria for a meal, then return to the house to pack and rest, and prepare to set off again tomorrow.
In the dormitory, Chu Qianli finally had a smooth network. She made a video call to her home to explain to her parents about her two days of life.
Yu Xin asked with concern: “Is Qianli accustomed to living there? Is the dormitory environment good?”
“Our dormitory decoration is not forgetting the original style.” Chu Qianli obediently showed her mobile phone. She walked around the house and said with a smile, “What we want is this feeling of hard work and simplicity, leading by example.”
Yu Xin was afraid that her daughter could not eat well or drink well in the field. Seeing her joking and joking now, he responded with a smile and said that he should pay attention to changes in the weather.
He Zhenghe: “When will you come back?”
When He Shichen heard this, he, as the only professional group, reminded him: “…should you not ask her about the progress of the project?”
“Of course the project went smoothly. I only received two clothes after two days of coming here.” Chu Qianli thought of the shaman robe and added, “Maybe I won’t be short of clothes again when I go back!”
He Shichen looked confused: “What clothes? Project work clothes?”
“…It is reasonable to say that work clothes are also reasonable.”
After reporting safety with his family, Chu Qianli began to pack the things he brought to the workstation, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the robe he had brought back from the village. She thought for a moment, and put the robe into the box, planning to take it away tomorrow.
The next day, Pan Yicheng arranged for others to work elsewhere, and arrived at the workstation with Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing. The group packed their luggage and visited the village again.
The environment in the village is the same as before. The aborigines are friendly and enthusiastic. They smiled and waved to Tan Muxing, but they respected Chu Qianli and saluted seriously.
Pan Yicheng sighed: “Unexpectedly, the most popular one is our little classmates.”
Chu Qianli couldn’t accept the worship of the villagers, so he could only bow back politely all the way. She arrived at the place where the ceremony took place yesterday, feeling exhausted, and sighed: “I’m just afraid of encountering this situation. I only contact Pingping every time I go back to the village. I didn’t expect it to be here.”
Tan Muxing smiled and calmed down: “This means everyone recognizes your ability.”
“But it would be troublesome to carry other people’s expectations. It’s better to think that I am nothing.” Chu Qianli said helplessly, “Oh, after determining the location of the altar, I will not come to the village.”
Today’s animal bone divination went quite smoothly, and the old lady completed the ceremony and led everyone to the past.
The old lady’s name is Saren. It is said that there was a shaman in her ancestors, but unfortunately she did not have this ability and could only simply follow the rules of her predecessors. She knows some simple treatment methods, then some life skills, and occasionally presides over sacrificial activities, which are all the experience passed down from the predecessors.
The surrounding environment is harsh, natural disasters occur frequently, and there is basically no trace of human life. The shaman led the tribe to settle here, becoming one of the few remaining villages in this area, leaving a ray of life in the desolate area. Therefore, the villagers respect the shaman very much. It can be said that the shaman is the core figure to maintain the clan.
Somewhere not far from the village, the expert advisory group under the guidance of Saren found that the altar was indeed a very small relic of shaman.
Saren respectfully worshipped in the front, while Chu Qianli and others carefully observed and explored the totems and paintings next to them.
Pan Yicheng: “It’s really not too old, but it’s some years old.”
Tan Muxing held the camera and tentatively asked: “Can we take pictures here?”
Saren agreed to take photos and collect information from the expert advisory group. She stood by and waited quietly, occasionally explaining something.
“Is this the history of the village?” Chu Qianli admired the primitive and rough paintings, and inexplicably thought of countless images in her mind, especially the stars in the sky.
“She said it was the story of when the village was built. The shaman observed the stars in the sky and led the wandering people on the grassland all the way forward, finally finding a place to settle.”
Saren looked at Chu Qianli, then said seriously, his eyes were very serious.
The colleague said: “She also said that the shaman appeared again, there must be a reason.”
Chu Qianli looked panic: “Good fellow, grandma wants to know that I came to build a mountain and build a road, and conflict with their ideas. Will it feel deceived?”
The two sides are now able to live in harmony, but work has not yet started.
Now that Chu Qianli has watched the altar, she is convinced that the construction should be inevitable, mainly because the shaman remains here are not large and the value is far from enough. There are too many well-known historical sites in China, and the level of the village cannot be regarded as a tourist resource.
Pan Yicheng also had an early idea. Their job was to inspect the rating. Once the construction was confirmed after the weighing, Zhou Qu and others would complete the follow-up.
There are too many villages and areas that a railway passes through, and it is impossible to stop for a small village.
After the expert advisory team collected the altar information, they were kindly invited by the villagers to stay for a meal. This was the first time this happened. Pan Yicheng knew that it was Chu Qianli’s sake, so he declined the hospitable villagers and insisted on going back to the work station to eat.
At the entrance of the village, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing stood waiting in place. They were about to return to the workstation, but they saw women and children in ethnic costumes not far away.
The little boy wore a cap and a pendant on his neck. He twisted the corner of his clothes and hid behind his mother. He secretly looked at the two with black pearl-like eyes, and drew on the spot and refused to move forward.
The woman next to her was kind to persuade. She bent down to comfort the little boy, and smiled and pointed in the direction of the two, with a look of encouragement.
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing watched this scene by the side, and they all felt a little puzzled and at a loss for a while.
After a while, the little boy finally plucked up the courage to rush forward. He ran up quickly in small steps, stretched out his hand to the two of them in shame, put something in their hands, and hurried back to his mother, as if exhausting his strength.
Tan Muxing stunned: “This is…”
Chu Qianli opened her palms, and she found that it was a candy, wrapped in simple sugar paper.
The two wanted to thank the little boy, but the other side did not dare to look at them again after all this. He fell into his mother’s arms, blushing and unable to look up, like a little ostrich burying his head in the ground.
The person at the workstation helped communicate, exchanged a few words with his mother, and explained: “He said he hoped that the shaman would like Tang.”
Chu Qianli was taken aback, she hesitated for a few seconds, peeled off the sugar paper, and put the sugar into her mouth. It was the unpretentious sweet and sour taste. She said, “Thank you, it’s delicious.”
The colleague passed the words back, and the mother told the boy again.
The little boy’s eyes were so sincere, but he still didn’t dare to talk to him, hiding in his mother’s arms awkwardly, and quietly staring at the two with his sight.
Tan Muxing waved at him friendly, but he didn’t come over for a long time.
Until the group left, the little boy hid shyly and did not communicate with Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing.
“It’s pretty cute.” Pan Yicheng smiled. “The kind of simple and cute children in the village.”
Chu Qianli whispered: “Because it’s cute, it will be embarrassing.”
Tan Muxing handed her sugar to Chu Qianli and asked, “Are you still eating it?”
“No…” Chu Qianli replied subconsciously. Seeing the candy in his palm, she suddenly hesitated and changed her words, “Forget it, give it to me.”
Chu Qianli didn’t eat the candy, but put it away and put it on the table in the dormitory of her workstation.
In the next few days, after inspecting the altar in the village, everyone began to observe the landforms and provide suggestions for the project.
Chu Qianli has been on the ground recently. She did not go to the village anymore, and she ran with Pan Yicheng and Tan Evening Xing all day long and had a sore waist and back pain.
She did know feng shui before, but she didn’t have much actual combat experience. Now she has learned a lot from Pan Yicheng, and she also understands some civil engineering knowledge and common points, and she has learned to explain some feng shui rules scientifically.
Grandpa used to know feng shui but not civil engineering. He always only taught the method without explaining the reason. Professor Pan now makes up this lesson.
The three gradually became familiar with each other at work, and occasionally chatted about the past in their spare time.
Chu Qianli’s peace talks with Muxing sometimes asks about his past deeds during the period of the Yetang layman and Pan Yicheng.
Pan Yicheng took the Hongjing compass. He looked at it repeatedly and missed it. “This is really an old guy. I don’t know how long I saw it last time. I didn’t expect it to be in your hands now.”
“I feel really old when I see it.” Pan Yicheng smiled bitterly, “I went out with your master at the beginning, but now I’m out with you.”
Pan Yicheng did not observe for too long and returned the compass to Chu Qianli.
Chu Qianli curiously asked, “Does Professor Pan know the origin of the compass?”
Pan Yicheng once appeared in Chu Yizhen’s travel notes, and perhaps he knows his grandfather’s original journey.
Talking about Twilight Star: “And the stone on the compass.”
“Your master also studied it at the beginning, but in the end it didn’t happen.” Pan Yicheng thought, “I remember that they had one each at the time, mainly because they all have learned from teachers, as if I didn’t have one.”
Chu Qianli reminded: “…No, you have a college diploma.”
“The number of well-known skills in China is divided into so few factions. Although many people will pinch the sect and claim that they are the famous orthodox, but to be honest, the inheritance is too long and there are too many branches. However, the few I knew when I was young are indeed true. It’s amazing, and the ancestors of their sects have basically had adventures, maybe they still have similar encounters.”
Pan Yicheng pointed to the Hongjing in the center of the compass: “Your master wanted to know what that adventure was. We ran all over the world. Of course, I was doing engineering. He ran over to eat, and later told me that the time was not up. , He seems to be back to martial arts.”
Chu Qianli was taken aback: “Cengfan?”
Pan Yicheng: “No! Our age is in short supply. At that time, I was high-ranked and had a lot of subsidies, so there were more things I could change. Your master only liked refined rice noodles. At that time, I couldn’t finish it by myself. I often run over for the tooth-fighting ceremony…”
“It’s really embarrassing to think about it. It’s not the time to go hungry. I don’t earn as much as his apprentice.” Pan Yicheng sighed with emotion.
Tan Muxing was kind to calm down: “But we still don’t work under professors now.”
Pan Yicheng: “Yes! It’s right to think so, your master has eaten a lot of my food, and now he has nothing wrong with his apprentice!”
Chu Qianli: “?”
Chu Qianli suddenly realized that what Grandpa wrote was not a travel note, but a history of food.
Pan Yicheng heard that the two of them were studying the compass. He speculated that Chu Qianli wanted to get rid of the premature death, and said, “I’ll go back and find someone to help you ask. I have forgotten it for many years, and I will see if I can borrow it for you to take a look.”
“Except for your master who ran away without saying a word, everyone else should be able to get in touch.” Pan Yicheng sighed, “but he talked to me about his fate, so it’s understandable.”
Tan Muxing was puzzled: “What fate?”
Chu Qianli calmly explained: “There are five disadvantages and three shortcomings in doing this. Grandpa has no support for his six relatives in his later years. It stands to reason that there is no one to bury him. If he is forcibly linked with relatives and old friends, it may be even more exciting. Contradictions, no matter how good the relationship is, it may be able to break.”
The five disadvantages are widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, independence, and disability, and the three shortcomings are money, life, and power.
Chu Qianli didn’t expect Pan Yicheng to know about it. No wonder Professor Pan always said “your master” instead of “your grandfather”. He wanted to make sure that Chu Qianli and Chu Yicheng were not related by blood.
When Tan Muxing was startled, Wang Ping once said that Chu Qianli alone arranged for the burial of Chu Yizheng, and he suddenly had a deeper understanding at this moment.
The workstation was busy for many days, and finally adjusted the plan to make the railway farther from the village. This is not about the beliefs of the villagers, but the area of the original plan has been checked, combined with the future trend of mountain changes, there may be unnecessary safety hazards, it is better to make it foolproof now.
The advantage of this is that Batu and others have reduced some troubles. The new plan is better than the old plan, and it is easier to communicate with the villagers.
Chu Qianli inspected the surrounding area. Through the method of elephants, she has been convinced that there are many fierce mountains here, and it is estimated that there will be no population increase in the future.
Chu Qianli held the candy in her hand, which was the gift from the little boy that day. She felt quite uncomfortable: “Oh, so once I was expected, things would become very troublesome.”
Tan Muxing noticed her entanglement: “What?”
Chu Qianli repeatedly squeezed the sugar paper. She looked at the melted sugar in the package and confessed: “The railway can also be regarded as a way of making money. The old plan is closer to the village, which slightly extends the vitality of the village, but it conflicts with their beliefs. The new plan is far from the village, and its influence is weak…”
“But speaking of it, it’s not suitable for people’s life here, and the Feng Shui itself is not suitable.” Chu Qianli said in distress.
She must determine the best choice, which is the production of karma, and different choices lead to different karma.
Talking about Muxing: “But Grandma Saren said at the time that it was the site of the previous shaman, saying that the village is the most livable place.”
“That’s for sure, that was the limitation at the time. They could only move around in this area. The position in the village is to pull the general from the short, and there is no better one nearby.” Chu Qianli said, “It’s different now, you can go outside. , There are more choices.”
Chu Qianli was downcast: “But this will create new workload, and people may not be willing to accept suggestions.”
Tan Muxing understood clearly that Batu and the others were in disagreement when they wanted to start construction. Chu Qianli bluntly said that they shouldn’t live here, and that slammed the lungs of the villagers, no less than jumping in a minefield.
Talking about Muxing: “Should I discuss with Professor Pan? See if there are other ways?”
At the workstation, Pan Yicheng was finalizing the details with Zhou Qu. He heard the thoughts of the two and was surprised: “Do you want the entire village to be relocated?”
“This is not appropriate.” Pan Yicheng glanced at Zhou Qu cautiously, lest the other party furiously refute Chu Qianli’s whimsical thoughts.
Zhou Qu has always been rigid and conservative, but at the moment he is quite calm. He glanced at Chu Qianli unexpectedly and said, “Old Pan, the people you brought are more thoughtful than you think. In fact, we planned to let them move from the beginning, and even found a place, but they refused to move.”
Pan Yicheng was taken aback: “I don’t know about this. I thought it was you who made trouble in the mountains.”
“No, at first I planned to move the village away and merge with other villages to form a shaman folk village, that is, those people near our base, and then rebuild a large village.” Zhou channel said, “but I don’t want to leave. Then it developed to open the mountain, and later called you back.”
Chu Qianli bluntly said: “Is it because the demolition funds have not been paid enough? Ten sets of eight sets are to be demolished. There should be a play, maybe the money is not in place.”
Zhou Qu: “It’s really not. The local support in the Folk Village is actually quite good, but they don’t want to leave. The children in the village are now running all the way to school, and they don’t want to move closer to the school.”
Tan Muxing hesitated and said, “Is it faith? Worship the mountain **** and don’t leave the mountain.”
“I don’t know.” Zhou Qu looked at Chu Qianli and said seriously, “If you really want to relocate, you don’t have to worry about the process. The key is that you can’t persuade you. I heard that the locals have come to do the work several times. One piece.”
Pan Yicheng: “If you really want to give it a try, you can let Batu take you there again, and they will push forward if they appreciate it. If you really don’t want it, it won’t be sweet.”
The two originally thought that the possibility of relocating the people to the village was extremely low, but Zhou Qu and others had already considered it, and the only difficulty turned out to be to persuade the villagers.
On the familiar road, Batu and others walked ahead, followed by Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing.
Chu Qianli rushed to the village again, her mood was completely different, and she laughed at herself: “Couldn’t I be a shaman before, and everyone will scream after talking today.”
As an astrologer, Chu Qianli has a lot of experience. Sometimes mentioning things that the other party doesn’t want to hear may cause others to be cold-eyed, but sometimes it’s impossible not to say it. She is not sure whether the attitude of the villagers will change, but she can only have a clear conscience.
Batu was relieved: “It’s okay, they should not be able to beat your friend, he beat the villagers somehow, so we really might be beaten.”
Tan Mu Xing weakly vomited: “Batuk, there seems to be something wrong with your reassurance…”
Chu Qianli got excited when she thought about it, she clenched a fist with an air: “It’s okay, there are stars, I don’t think I was beaten.”
Talking about Twilight Star: “?”
Batu already knew the ins and outs. As he walked towards the entrance of the village, he opened his mouth and said: “Although I am working in the workstation and hoping that they can move away, it is more convenient to do this, but honestly I can understand their thoughts.”
“Don’t want to move away?”
“Yes, I mainly move around. Where do I go?” Batu sighed, “I have moved since I was a child, but now I don’t know which ethnicity I belong to except for the ID card information.”
“My college classmates think I am a minority, but the people on my grandfather’s side think I am not. Many things are cut off when I am here. Sometimes I don’t know which side I am, anyway, I live like this.” Batu said casually, “I wanted to learn Mongolian for a while, but later I was tired and gave up.
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing calmed down after hearing this. They had no such experience, and it was difficult to answer the conversation for a while.
Batu smiled bitterly: “Sometimes I am afraid of forgetting my roots.”
They merged too closely with the people around them, and occasionally they couldn’t even figure it out clearly, and they were worried about picking up their own national culture, but things were diluted by too many things.
Tan Muxing perceives Batu’s feelings of loss, he doesn’t know how to comfort him, and said: “Then if there is a chance, let Batu go again…”
Batu swept away his sentimentality, and said decisively: “That’s still an ethnic minority, somehow it gets extra points occasionally.”
Talk about the speed of Twilight Star facing him in seconds: “?”
Chu Qianli: “It seems that your subconscious hasn’t forgotten its roots.”
Batu gratefully said: “Thank you, I will feel confident right away. If you ask like this, then I will definitely not forget.”
Talking about Twilight Star: “…”
