As the mastermind behind the scenes, he created the Lizardman!

"Look, that's the Stonehenge."

Before they entered the village, they saw the Stonehenge located on a small hillside.

"I'll take you to see it."

Without waiting for Lei Yuan to speak, Liu Shihao drove his motorcycle towards the Stonehenge.

The entire Stonehenge is circular, consisting of more than a dozen cylindrical stone pillars. There are obvious traces of craftsmanship and carving on the stone pillars, and there are no traces of weathering. It is unlikely to be an ancient site.

Lei Yuan also saw traces of chains or ropes on each stone pillar, as well as some mottled bloodstains that were difficult to find after repeated washing. It can be preliminarily judged that these stone pillars should have been torture instruments in the past.

In the center of this circular Stonehenge, there is a very rough statue that looks like a man drawing a bow and shooting at the sky.

Liu Shihao stood in front of a stone pillar, raised his hand and stroked it, his face changed from the previous enthusiastic and cheerful to a little sad:

"There has been an ancient legend circulating in this village. It is said that a long time ago, a group of celestial maidens came to the human world and landed in this small mountain village."

"They taught the people here how to plant, speak, write, weave and dress, etc., allowing this small mountain village to enter the civilized era from the ancient era of eating raw meat and drinking blood."

"And in the long-term life and communication, the celestial maidens gradually fell in love with the people here. They didn't want to go back to heaven. Love at this moment surpassed the immortals and mortals, so they stayed here without the Emperor of Heaven's knowledge, married and had children with the people here, and lived a happy life."

"However, they were eventually discovered by the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven gave these celestial maidens and The mortals who seduced the goddesses were punished cruelly. "

"He asked the heavenly soldiers to build this giant stone circle, tied the goddesses to the stone pillars with iron chains, and then ten suns came out at the same time."

"The ten suns exerted unimaginable heat, houses were set on fire, rivers were dried up, crops were barren, countless mortals died, and the goddesses were tied to the stone pillars and suffered forever under the heat of the ten suns."

"At this time, a hero stood up, he bent his bow and shot the sun, shooting down nine suns in a row, saving the world, and forcing the emperor to let the goddesses go, taking back their identities and magic powers, so that they could stay in the world and live with their loved ones."

Liu Shihao turned his head to look at Lei Yuan and smiled:

"How is it? Does this story sound familiar?"

Lei Yuan did not comment.

Liu Shihao said:

"The legend of Houyi shooting the sun and some fairies descending to the earth, the people here combined these legends."

"But from what I have observed, the legends circulating in the village are obviously inconsistent with the facts."

"According to my estimation, it should be in the 1920s and 1930s when people here built this Stonehenge for some unknown reason. The reason for building the Stonehenge has not been passed down, so later people made up such a story according to various myths and legends."

"But none of this is important."

Liu Shihao smiled:

"The important thing is that this Stonehenge combined with this legend has great potential for tourism development. Even if it cannot attract domestic tourists, it can attract foreign tourists."

"Now Daxia is developing rapidly, and many foreigners are full of interest in the mysterious and long-standing Daxia culture. Although the legends in this village are full of loopholes for us Daxia people, it is enough to fool those foreigners."

"By then, not only can I make money, but this village can also develop rapidly. What a good business."

Lei Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Liu Shihao's stomach growled suddenly, and he smiled awkwardly:

"I'm getting hungry while talking. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go into the village. Although this village is poor, the villagers are very welcoming. You can get food from any family. Moreover, the dishes here are all watered with their own manure, and the chickens, ducks and pigs are all raised by themselves. The food is unique and hard to find in the city. You are a traveler, and it is definitely worth staying here for a day or two."

Lei Yuan smiled. Seeing this stone circle and hearing this legend, this small village has aroused his interest.

Of course, what Lei Yuan is most interested in is Liu Shihao.

Liu Shihao's strange behavior just now attracted Lei Yuan's attention.

Touching a stone pillar, his face showed sadness, and Lei Yuan also saw a trace of hidden hatred in his eyes.

There is no doubt that he did not stay in this small village for the purpose of developing tourism to make money. He must have ulterior motives.

But there is one thing that puzzled Lei Yuan.

If Liu Shihao had ulterior motives for this small village, why would he bring a stranger like him here?

Interesting.

…

The two rode their motorcycles all the way into the village.

Passing by the entrance of the village, there was aA large group of old ladies, old men and rural aunts were sitting there. When they saw the two people riding motorcycles in, they cast curious eyes and whispered.

I don’t know how many rumors were made from their mouths.

This village is not big, with about 100 households.

The road in the village is still a dirt road, and it has not been paved with cement. When it rains, you step on the mud.

The layout of the whole village is very loose. Most of the houses are wooden buildings. There are only a few cement houses, which are sparsely distributed at the foot of several adjacent mountains.

It is estimated that it is because of the geographical environment and the inconvenient transportation that this village cannot develop. It is already 2025, but it still looks like the last century.

Liu Shihao rode a motorcycle with Lei Yuan all the way through the village. This small village is not deserted. During the period, Lei Yuan saw many young people.

Liu Shihao said:

"You came at the right time. If you had come a month or two earlier, there would not be many people in this village. The young people all went out to work, and only the elderly stayed here. Now it is mid-January, and the New Year is coming soon. The young people in the village have returned, and this place has become lively."

"What about you? The New Year is coming soon, why don't you go home for the New Year?"

Lei Yuan asked calmly.

Liu Shihao smiled:

"I am an orphan. I haven't married or had children yet. It doesn't matter where I celebrate the New Year. And for a single person like me, there is no point in celebrating the New Year. What about you? The New Year is coming soon, why are you still traveling alone?"

Lei Yuan said calmly:

"Same as you."

"Then it seems that we are really destined to meet."

"Indeed, we are very destined to meet."

Liu Shihao rode a motorcycle with Lei Yuan and stopped in front of a rare cement yard in the village.

"Uncle, uncle, I'm back."

Liu Shihao shouted while motioning Lei Yuan to get off the car.

A bald man in his 50s came out of the room in response:

"Shihao, how is it? What did the people from the Cultural Bureau and the Tourism Bureau say? Did you get the approval? Hey, this is..."
