Chapter 405: Ancient Bell
The night in the mountains and forests was silent.
A full moon overhead, sprinkled with a bright cold light, outlined the undulating outline of the hill, reflecting the texture of the cement road like white jade.
A bunch of headlights run across the ground.
The road is too narrow, the crazy plants on both sides also encroach on the road, and some small animals appear on the road from time to time.
The air inside the car was slightly dull.
The old viewer in the back seat groaned from time to time.
Little Master Xuanqing bit his lower lip tightly, not only to take care of the old master, but also to devote his energy to find a way for Brother Nan.
When he arrived in the town, the old man's condition seemed to be a little better, his illness seemed to be intermittent, but now that he had eased a little and his consciousness was clearer, he immediately took the hand of the little master Xuanqing.
"Peixue, listen ......"
"It's okay! It's okay!" Xuanqing's voice was a little crying, and it was very clear in the car, "Master, don't be afraid!"
"I have something for you......"
"I'm listening!"
"Ginkgo biloba...... Can be given to Boss Zhang...... You decide...... The ancient clock can't move...... No one can move...... Let it stay here all the time......" The old watchman's voice was intermittent, as if he was out of breath.
"I know, I know......" Little Master Xuanqing held the old master's hand tightly, "It's okay, it's okay......"
“......”
An hour later.
Town Hospital.
The situation of the old watchman has stabilized a little.
Master Xuanqing was negotiating with the doctor.
Brother Nan and Zhou Li had already done what they could do, and they couldn't help much, so they sat on the bench at the end of the corridor and waited.
The town hospital is a bit rudimentary, they are located on the first floor, and both ends are transparent, people can enter and exit, and the wind can also be. So the wind poured in from one end and blew out from the other, taking away the temperature, and the place became more and more cold.
coughing;
The child cries at night;
A room was shouting;
But for some reason, I feel very quiet.
Zhou Li turned his head to look at the moonlight outside.
Brother Nan looked at his watch, straightened his legs, and rubbed his hands on his thighs, which was extremely boring: "It's the 2nd, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed." ”
Zhou Li snorted.
This Mid-Autumn Festival didn't feel anything.
But it's relative to last year.
Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival military training held a party.
In the past, the Mid-Autumn Festival was almost like this, and it passed without any feeling, but Zhou Li was basically indifferent to these festivals. No, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is covered by the National Day, so it is extraordinarily insensitive.
Brother Nan yawned again, and continued to whisper: "I thought I could go to Tengchong yesterday, let's go to the supermarket in the city in the evening to see if we can buy moon cakes with strange tastes, such as what kind of insects, and eat another meal, I will almost deal with this festival, after all, it is a festival, give it some respect, and the result is ......."
Zhou Li smiled when he heard this.
There was a cry of pain from the old viewer in the room behind him, and the smile that had just risen disappeared again.
Brother Nan looked back, sighed, and stopped teasing Zhou Li, and said: "It's really uncomfortable to be old, if I am so old and not dead in the future, and I am still so annoyed, I will find a place that does not disturb people and die, I am too lazy to be so painful." ”
"Don't say that. Zhou Li glanced at her.
"Really. Brother Nan was quite serious, "I can live for so long, I feel that I am over the standard, I think I live sixty or seventy is about the same, and the experience is enough." ”
"Go with the flow. ”
Brother Nan glanced at Zhou Li quietly, and hesitated: "Of course, if we are still wives at that time, and you live for a long time, I will accompany you for a while, looking at your virtue, most of you can't take care of yourself when you are old......"
"Got it. ”
Zhou Li still turned his head to look out the window: "You say, tonight's moon is fifteen or sixteen?"
"Fifteen, of course. ”
"Oh. ”
"It's pretty round, isn't it?"
Brother Nan also looked at the moon, but because of the angle, she was not as close to Zhou Li as she sat on the side, so she had to lean slightly in the direction of Zhou Li in order to better appreciate the moon that was already hanging high.
Zhou Li hummed again.
The two were silent for a moment.
Until Brother Nan asked, "Are you sleepy?"
"Sort of, what about you?"
"I? I play games a lot until dawn. Brother Nan yawned, his eyes a little moist, "You can lean on my shoulder and squint for a while." ”
"I can bear it. ”
"Whatever you want. ”
Not long after, Little Master Xuanqing walked out.
Brother Nan immediately got up: "What is the situation of the old watchman?"
Little Master Xuanqing shook his head: "I'm old, when I was young, the conditions were not good, I was bitter and tired, I was sick all over, and there were problems everywhere. He was taken to the hospital like this last month. ”
"That's too dangerous, you guys are so biased. Brother Nan frowned, "It's not easy for the ambulance to come in, right? ”
"Fortunately, it was given by a boss last month, and he has always wanted to buy the ginkgo biloba in our view. Master Xuanqing said, "He happened to come over that day to convince us. ”
"It's not always that good luck next time. ”
"There's no way, I've persuaded him many times to stop guarding the Taoist temple, but he refuses. is that every time he is sent to the hospital, the doctor says that he wants to be hospitalized, but he refuses and has to go back. Little Master Xuanqing expressed his emotions, "He was very stubborn. More than ten years ago, some people from the government wanted to take Gu Zhong away, and at that time he was in better health than now, but he was also sixty or seventy years old, so he insisted on holding a sword and guarding the courtyard for half a month...... No one can convince him with this temper. ”
"How's the old man doing now?"
"It's stable. ”
"That's good, that's good. Brother Nan thought that the old watchman had begun to explain his last words in the car, and he still felt taken aback.
"Hmm. ”
"Is there any mystery to that ancient bell?" Zhou Li asked suddenly.
"It seems that there is only a bell, and there is no thing that rings the bell. Brother Nan was also curious, "Do you knock every day?"
"No, the bell won't ring. ”
"Does it ring?"
"Well, it may be a problem with the material, anyway, no matter how you knock it, even if you hit it with an iron tool, it won't make a sound. Little Master Xuanqing paused, "I don't know, I just heard from Master that this bell is very important, maybe it's an antique." ”
"I thought there was some allusion. Zhou Li quietly looked at her.
"Probably ......"
"It's amazing that you can't make a sound. Brother Nan was a little interested.
"It could also be the extraterrestrial meteorite mentioned in the TV series. Little Master Xuanqing rubbed his head, a little tired, but still chatted with them, "I asked Master about its origin, and he sold Guan Zi and said that if I took over his class, he would tell me." ”
"It's like vibranium. Brother Nan blinked.
"Probably ......"
Little Master Xuanqing was silent, bowed his head and said, "I'm really troublesome to you today, and I still disturb your rest." ”
"Non-existent. ”
"Master and I estimate that we will not go back until tomorrow, or you should go back and rest first. ”
"It's okay, anyway, we're just waiting here, we can't help, and this thing around me is really sleepy. Brother Nan was also very simple, "Then let's add a WeChat, if you are discharged from the hospital tomorrow, tell me, and I will pick you up." ”
"We'll just go back by ourselves, and you guys will sleep a little longer. ”
"It's okay, why do young people sleep so much?" said a bed-ridden activist, "why sleep for a long time before you die, and sleep forever after you die." ”
"I can hail a taxi here......"
"Do you sweep me or do I sweep you?"
"I'll sweep you ......"
"Do you want to use the money?" Brother Nan asked again.
"No need ......"
Little Master Xuanqing had a feeling that he was stunned by Brother Nan's uprightness and boldness.
So the two returned to the Taoist temple.
In the moonlight, Zhou Li carefully looked at the ancient bell for a while, and touched it like Huai Xu - he thought that he was also a person chosen by God, and he might be a little special?
Nothing but coldness.
This ancient clock is placed here, there is no other setting, the rain and wind have been blowing for so many years, and there is no 'loss of electricity', and the technology in this is very commendable.
Before returning to the room, Zhou Li glanced at the next room again.
made such a big move, with the character of this old monster, he didn't come out to join in the fun, most likely because he thought that the conditions in the view were poor, and the network was not good, so he went home and fell asleep...... I don't know when he went back, Zhou Li felt itchy when he thought that he had been jealous of the non-existent old monster in the next room before going to bed in the middle of the night.
