Chapter 337: Revisiting the Old Place
"Yuemin?" Zheng Tong called carefully, "Can you see it?"
"Huh?" Zhong Yuemin looked up and looked around, and then at Zheng Tong, "It seems that you can see it." ”
"Really!?" Li Kuiyong exclaimed excitedly, "Let's see what color clothes I'm wearing?"
"You've been wearing this red shirt for many years, aren't you young?"
"It's been a long time coming, this is my mother dismantled and redone, you see that the second half of the color is different!"
Li Kuiyong untied his jacket, revealing the complete thread coat, and sure enough, the upper half was sauce red, the lower half of his body turned orange, and there were many wrong stitches and skipping stitches.
"This color looks like a big goldfish in the pool!" Zhong Yuemin complained.
"Hehe, my mother has been tossing for half a year, and I can't help but wear it. Li Kuiyong smiled, "I also bought her a few more catties of wool, I told my mother, I will wear whatever it is woven into." Just to keep the old lady from being idle!"
"That's good, manual brain movement. Zhong Yuemin turned his head to look at Zheng Tong again, "Why are you so fat?"
"He was too happy in his married life, and he was born to feed fat!" Li Kuiyong complained.
"You are naked jealousy!" Zheng Tong said, "You can't get fat if you want to!"
"Fuck you! Who said with a sad face two days ago that there were no human rights and no freedom, and sneaked out to let the wind go?" Li Kuiyong scolded with a smile.
"That's right! That won't delay my marriage and happiness, won't it!"
"You two are really boring!" Zhong Yuemin said to Zhao Xuanzhu: "Come, Xuanzhu, let's get to know each other again!"
Zhao Xuanzhu was not used to it, his hand wiped the sweat on his pants several times, and Zhong Yuemin stretched out his hand for a minute before he held it.
"Bell ······"
"Let's call it Big Brother. ”
"Hey······" Zhao Xuanzhu hesitated for a moment, but still shouted: "Brother Zhong!"
"You look pretty energetic!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile, "Come, help me carry the box to the car together." ”
"Hey, I'll come, I'll just come alone!" Zhao Xuanzhu immediately picked up the box and went out.
"I remember that the wall used to be covered with newspapers, but now it's all mottled. Zhong Yuemin sat lightly on the edge of some collapse, "Things are not people!"
"Yuemin, let's go out for a walk, your eyes can just see, let's go outside and take a look." Zheng Tong was worried that Zhong Yuemin was too upset, so he proposed.
Li Kuiyong also said: "Yes, Yuemin, it is beneficial to look at it from a distance." ”
"Then let's go out for a walk!"
······
Out of the cave, the light was bright, and Zhong Yuemin blocked it with his hand a little uncomfortably.
"The light is really dazzling!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.
"It's not dazzling, the sun is rising!" Zheng Tong said: "It's been gloomy for so many days, and it's finally sunny today!"
"This god is really face-saving!" Li Kuiyong smiled, "As soon as your eyes open, they will be clear!"
Zhong Yuemin squinted his eyes and got used to it a little before looking around.
The state of Baidian Village is a little worse than that of Ishikawa Village, most of the kiln doors are rammed with earth, and even many of the caves are a little dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.
On the top of the cave not far away, there was a rhubarb staring at them vigilantly, and when they looked up, the sky was blue.
"This blue is so beautiful!" Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but sigh.
"But the educated youth are back?" someone shouted on the mountain road in the distance.
Li Kuiyong followed the prestige and responded: "Yes! It's a dog, right?"
"Yes, are you Kui Yong?" the other party obviously recognized him.
"I'm Kuiyong!" Li Kuiyong replied, "Where are you here?"
"Go up to the back mountain Taoist temple!" "Goudan said: "Someone shouted just now, the old Taoist priest in the temple is afraid that it will not work, go and take a look!"
"Is this old Taoist still there?" Zheng Tong was surprised, "The year I left, the old Taoist priest was already out of breath and less in breath, why did he still live for so many years?"
"When didn't the old way get out more and take in less air?" Li Kuiyong asked rhetorically, "This time it may not be true!"
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Zhong Yuemin said, "Anyway, we also received a black glazed porcelain bowl from him!"
"Yuemin, if you don't say it, I forgot, the hand master said that the bowl was a bit evil, and then we sealed it with an iron box. Zheng Tong said.
"What did the little hand say?"
"Master Hand said that she couldn't see through this bowl, it might be something from the soil, and the family couldn't hold it. Zheng Tong said: "We took it to the temple and offered it." ”
Li Kuiyong said: "This old Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, and the people in the village will never enter the temple if they have nothing to do, let alone take things from inside!"
"I exchanged it for steamed buns!" Zheng Tong shouted, "The old Taoist priest himself agreed!"
"Then don't be afraid!"
"I ......" Zheng Tong was furious.
Zhong Yuemin said: "Don't argue, let's go to the place and talk about it." ”
……
There were already a few people from the village standing at the gate of the Taoist temple, and they greeted Li Kuiyong and others when they saw them coming.
Li Kuiyong was also very familiar with them, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and scattered it to them, "Is this time true?"
"I'm afraid it's true, as soon as the winter comes, I lie in bed, don't eat, just drink some water. ”
"I heard the shepherd say that he didn't even let the kang burn in the past few days, for fear that his internal organs would burn out. Another added.
Suddenly, the door of the Taoist temple opened, and the old man who was herding sheep in Baidian Village poked his head out, "But someone is coming?"
"It's Kui Yong back. The villager replied.
"Then come in quickly, come in, and the Taoist will look for you. The old man waved at a few people.
"Looking for us?" Zheng Tong said in surprise.
"It shouldn't be wrong, just now the Taoist suddenly opened his eyes and said to let the people who just came in. ”
Zhong Yuemin and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, Zhong Yuemin took the lead in the end.
……
The roof of the Taoist temple hall has long been dilapidated, and there are holes everywhere, and the sunlight shines in to form pillars of light.
The shepherd led a few people into the side building, and the room was dimly lit, only an oil lamp was lit on the kang head.
The old Taoist priest was lying on the kang, his eyes were closed, his bones were as thin as firewood, and his body couldn't hold it and fell in.
"Dao Chief. The shepherd called softly.
"Coming?" the old Taoist priest opened his eyes and glowed.
"They are all here, and several of them are from outside the village. ”
The old Taoist priest looked at them one by one, and finally his eyes stopped at Zheng Tong: "The bowl is okay?"
"The bowl is very good, very good!" Zheng Tong hurriedly replied, "I used things to pack them well and enshrined them in the temple!"
The old Taoist priest looked at him for a long time, and finally couldn't help sighing, "Life should be like this, everything has a fixed number, it's just that." ”
“······” Zheng Tong was a little hairy.
"Are your eyes good?" the old Taoist priest looked at Zhong Yuemin again.
"Alright. Zhong Yuemin wondered in his heart, this Taoist priest knew the matter of his eyes so well, and he listened to his words more methodically than before.
"Is this a lot of fun?" the old Taoist priest asked again.
Zhong Yuemin was like being struck by lightning, his pupils shrank, and he stared at the old Taoist priest in shock.
"What's so fun about not being able to see with your eyes?" Li Kuiyong interjected, "What nonsense are you talking about old Taoist!"
"In the past life, because of the results of the next life, such a change is also your creation. The old Taoist priest smiled and said to Li Kuiyong.
Li Kuiyong was even more confused, thinking that the old Taoist priest was confused, but he felt that his words had another meaning.
Zhong Yuemin on the side knew it, and suddenly became very curious about the origin of the old Taoist.
As if guessing what Zhong Yuemin was thinking, the old Taoist priest closed his eyes and said softly: "I was lonely and miserable in life, and I am just a lonely ghost after death. Go ahead. ”
······
A few people came out of the Taoist temple, but before they could come to their senses, the old shepherd also came out, "The Taoist is gone." ”
Zhong Yuemin and the others looked at each other, and a few villagers waiting at the door threw away their cigarette butts, entered the Taoist temple, and came out with a roll of kang mats after a while.
"This weight is really light enough!" muttered the man who carried the old Taoist priest on his head, "I'm afraid I'm so hungry that I don't have any weight." ”
"Even if it doesn't have weight, it's not so light!" said the man on the other end, "A roll of kang mat is so heavy." ”
"Let's go, Dao Chang ordered it before his death, and he buried it like this, and it's a hundred. The old shepherd led the people to the back mountain.
"Yuemin, shall we go?" Li Kuiyong hesitated for a moment and asked.
Zhong Yuemin said: "Forget it, let's go back." ”
"Yuemin, what did that old Taoist priest mean by what he said just now?" Zheng Tong couldn't help but ask: "Staring at me for so long, my hairs are up!"
"He was just waiting for us to come. Li Kuiyong also said, "What he said is also a bit Shinto." ”
"I haven't figured it out either, let's talk about it when we get back. Zhong Yuemin said perfunctorily.
······
"Zhong Yuemin, where have you been?" As soon as the car drove into Ishikawa Village, Mi Lai rushed up, "How can you leave me here alone!?"
"Can you blame us for this?" Zheng Tong said: "You sleep lazily in the morning, so it's not good for us to go into the house and call you, right?"
"Don't try to fool me!" said Milley angrily: "I've asked you all, you left the village at six or seven o'clock in the morning!
Zheng Tong was defeated, and Li Kuiyong stepped up again: "We have a little personal matter, it's not convenient to take you with us, don't be angry, reporter Mi." ”
"I'm not angry, it's strange that I'm not angry!" Milley became more and more angry, "Can't you just say hello?
"What's going on here?" Zhong Yuemin said, "Can the people of Ishikawa Village eat you?"
"Who dare?!" Chunhua complained beside her: "This girl is crying and making trouble here all morning, and she doesn't dare to approach anyone around!"
"Huh, so powerful!" Zhong Yuemin smiled: "Aren't you afraid of heaven and earth, what are you crying about?"
"Can I not be scared if you left me here?!" said Milley angrily.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Milley stiffened and didn't speak.
"Hungry?"
Milley still didn't answer.
"Sister Chunhua, let's make pot noodles for us. Zhong Yuemin said, "Put a few more vegetable leaves." ”
"Cheng, there is still a lot of fine meat at home, I'll give you a little bit of noodles to put in it. Sister Chunhua said and left.
"Do you want to eat?" Zhong Yuemin asked Mi Lai again, "If you don't want to eat, I will tell Sister Chunhua that I won't cook you?"
"Don't speak, do you?" Zhong Yuemin turned his head and shouted, "Spring ······"
"I'll eat!" Millai finally spoke, "I'm hungry······! You know how to bully me!"
"Bully you, don't have that much strength!" Zhong Yuemin said and entered the house, sitting cross-legged on the kang.
Milley realized something, "Can you see with your eyes? How can you see?"
······
After eating at noon, the group went back to the county seat, ready to say goodbye to Ma Guiping and Aunt Ma, and then went back to BJ.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the county, he was stopped by another car, so Zhao Xuanzhu quickly stopped the car.
Two cadres in military uniforms got out of the other party's car and ran over and asked, "Is it Comrade Zhong Yuemin?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"Hello Comrade Zhong Yuemin, we are from BJ, and this is our ID. ”
Zhong Yuemin took it and took a look, and then returned it to the other party, I am afraid that those who dare to make such false certificates have not yet been born.
"Hello comrade, what's the matter?"
"We're ordered to take you back!"
Zhong Yuemin wondered: "What happened?"
The other party glanced at Zheng Tong and the others.
"Just say it, they won't spread it. Zhong Yuemin said.
"The head of the general office wants to see you, we came all the way!"
"Is there a specific reason for being in such a hurry?"
"We don't know much about that, we were ordered to get you to BJ safely as soon as possible. ”
······
Zhong Yuemin still underestimated the urgency of these people to carry out the order, and they carried Zhong Yuemin at a gallop and quickly left Yanchuan County.
"Where is this going? Why is it going more and more deviant?"
"Comrade Zhong Yuemin, don't worry, the road must be right!"
It turned out that the road was indeed right, and their final destination was a remote military airfield, where two cadres took Zhong Yuemin on a transport plane.
The middle of the cabin was full of supplies, and the three of them sat against the airport wall, with folding chairs under their buttocks, welded steel pipes, or hollowed out, which could be imagined.
As soon as they got on the plane, the plane immediately taxied onto the runway, the propellers and the air flow were particularly loud, accompanied by vibrations, and the plane was not as soundproofed as the jeep they had driven before.
When the plane really took off, Zhong Yuemin realized that the thoughts just now were all hypocrisy, the plane was up and down in the air, Zhong Yuemin felt the pull of the front and back, left and right, if it weren't for the help of the seat belt, Zhong Yuemin felt that he could fly out.
"Is this pilot in a hurry?" Zhong Yuemin shouted to the cadres sitting next to him.
"What did you say?" The noise was so loud that the other party didn't hear it clearly.
"Did I say this plane is fucking in a hurry? It's driving too hard!"
"Oh. People have been waiting for us for more than half an hour, probably trying to catch up with the time. The other party also shouted.
"I'll go!" Zhong Yuemin calculated in his heart, the whole flight was only two hours in total, and if the plane wanted to chase the time, it would take an hour and a half to fly, how much more would it take to overspeed!
Seeing Zhong Yuemin's face pale, the other party comforted: "Don't worry, they are all old pilots, experienced, and nothing will happen!"
"I'm not worried about accidents, I'm worried that they will be too excited and throw the noodles out of my stomach!"
