Chapter Seventy-One: The Horror of the Deserted Temple

Xiangyi's attitude took a 180-degree turn, which was completely expected by Jingxian. However, Xiangyi didn't mention that the county and township were urging him to do it, and Jingxian did not expose him. is still full of smiles, and he said that it bothered you and bothered you. Xiangyi is adding fuel and vinegar to the fiction of how much he bothered, how sleepless he stayed all night, exhausted, and exhausted.

Jingxian understood that all this was a great help from the leaders of the county, otherwise Xiangyi would not have let himself succeed so happily. Xiangyi also decided that from tomorrow, Jingxian can go to the broken temple to guide the work, if there are any requirements, the village can not be satisfied, you can go to the commune to mention, and then not in the county. We must get this project up and live up to expectations.

The two of them were talking, and the little living Buddha like a mud monkey came back from outside, and Xiangyi saw it and wanted to laugh. But it's not embarrassing, dozens of people, it's rude to laugh at a child with a disability.

As soon as Jingxian saw that the fire was not coming, he dragged it over and slapped it on the buttocks: "Something that is not angry, people come and go all day long, can you support Lao Tzu's face?

Xiangyi came over and hurriedly persuaded: "The living Buddha is a living Buddha, and the must is still a child, and there is no standard for living Buddhas." That Jidian monk, crazy and still a living Buddha, can show the gods to help the common people!"

"Alas, this child, it makes me sad to think about it, and sooner or later it will be my burden. His father and mother didn't care about the child's appearance when they saw it, what do you say I should do with a lonely old man?"

"Hey, isn't this very good, every day the pilgrims are in the dark, and the money is poured into the house like flowing water. In the future, when you live in the temple, you don't have to worry about anything, just press the merit box that throws money into it!"

"Xiangyi, you said it so easily, can I manage him for a lifetime? Can I live past him? No one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a thousand days. Ten years in Hexi, ten years in Hedong, who knows what the future holds?"

"What do you want to do so much? Right now, the little living Buddha is booming, and if you make enough money, are you afraid that there will be no beautiful women, mansions, and famous cars? ”

Jingxian nodded and said: "Although the saying goes, people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. But thinking too much has increased the burden. Go to the mountain and cut the wood! Go with the flow, it's more realistic. ”

The little living Buddha didn't move for a long time, lying on the edge of the bed. I used to see that I fell asleep, and my nose and saliva were flowing from the bed sheets. Jingxian woke him up, he rubbed his eyes and asked, "It's time, rice, it's time?"

"You know what time it is, it's just half past ten. Eat after doing work, and eat snacks first when you are hungry. Jing Xian said.

Xiangyi walked to the street, the winter sun was not as bright as before, and the wind blew the coolness and drilled straight into his neck. He remembered that Yan Hong said yesterday that he wanted to make dumplings today, so he turned a corner and went to the big white peach store.

Due to the fact that there are more people in the big white peach store in winter, people who buy anything come across a piece, and they are all familiar with the Li family for a while. Recalling the heart-wrenching events of the year, and adding infinite imagination and reasoning to each event, combined with the current whose cow has laid a three-legged cub, whose rooster crows so strangely.

It seems that all of this is intrinsically connected to each other, and it seems that it is not. It was as if there was some omen, something big about to happen. The people who only discussed had dry mouths and asked the big white peach to add hot water to the pot again and again. He ran to the hut as if he was charging, and ran back like a charge, for fear of leaving some details behind his ears and not hearing them.

Several pots of water went down, and the urine bucket in the thatched hut also rose several inches. The men played a bottle of soy sauce, but more than a dozen cigarette butts were thrown on the ground, and the women had a shoe sole in their armpits, and they didn't take two or three stitches from the time they came. The hair of everyone who only said it stood upside down, and their faces turned pale before they gradually walked one wave, and the next wave followed, and the big white peach kept refilling the pot with water.

Xiangyi pushed the door in, Da Bai Tao blushed inadvertently, and Xiangyi looked a little uncomfortable. People are talking about getting into the groove, and no one notices their changes. Xiangyi said hello to the people, bought bundles of leeks, ginger and pork, and stayed for a few minutes. The big white peach's gaze wandered, not facing Xiangyi's gaze.

Xiangyi read Da Bai Tao's gaze, and saw that people had no intention of leaving, so he found a reason to leave in a hurry.

The renovation of the temple began the next day as scheduled, and tractors were transported from the brick factory to there, and a large area of the factory had been cleared that day. There are also a lot of adults and children who go there to watch the excitement, and I don't know where to fix it first.

Zhenyu's brother Zhencheng is also in the team of pulling bricks. That day, when Zhencheng finished rebuilding bricks outside the temple and started the car to pull the brick factory for the second time, he didn't know why the brakes failed, and he couldn't step on it, so he rushed over to a bunch of children and talking adults in front of him. At that time, Zhencheng was stupid, his mind was blank, he didn't know where to move, and he was in a hurry.

At this time, at a distance of ** meters from the failed tractor, the bricks of the Ming Code were quite neat, and for some reason they fell down with an inexplicable "whoosh". The front wheels of the tractor were firmly pressed against the pile of upside-down bricks. At that time, people were so frightened that they forgot to dodge, if it wasn't for the brick stack falling down, none of the children and adults would have been able to escape.

People were frightened into a cold sweat, and they couldn't help but think of whether the gods were blessing people? Some people say that it is not necessarily, when cleaning the temple a few days ago, a lot of bullet casings were found in the soil of the fallen wall, maybe there are soldiers here who died in battle to bless us.

The old man Qingxuan was also at the scene at that time, and he said yes. There used to be fierce shootouts.

It was the first year of the Japanese surrender, and the county brigade sent a working group to mobilize the masses to do work to support the anti-Japanese resistance. There were five men and two women, but they were unexpectedly told by the traitors in the village. As soon as the comrades of the working group left the village, they were bitten by the Imperial Allied Army. Several people fought and ran, and finally they couldn't be forced into this broken temple.

At that time, more than 200 Imperial Association regiments surrounded the broken temple, and the Imperial Association Army had little combat effectiveness, but they had many people and many spears. The seven comrades of the working group were all carrying short guns with limited range. From the evening of the first day to the evening of the next day, the seven comrades who were besieged were finally outnumbered and exhausted. In the case of refusal to surrender, all of them were killed in battle.

After listening to the narration of the old man Qingxuan, everyone sighed, it must be these heroic spirits who protected us in the dark, you are eternal benefactors!

All the adults and children present knelt down one after another to thank the heroic souls of the heroes who died in the battle!

Something happened to the broken temple, but the Xiangyi family was even more frightened.
