Chapter 029: Dead Faith Becomes Alive

The more he stared at that strange black spot, the more Jiang Xinwei felt that the black spot was a little strange.

He shouted to the kid who couldn't catch up with the rabbit and turned around, "Xiaojun, come here...... Do you see that black spot on the top of the mountain? Do you know what it is?"

The child looked in the direction of his finger, looked at it for a while, and when the clouds on the top of the mountain drifted away, he said, "I don't know! It's like a tree, yes! it's a tree!"

Jiang Xinwei had already seen that it was not a tree, but the color there was darker than the other counterparts on the hillside, and it did look like a tree if he didn't look closely. Curious, he said to the child, "You wait for me here, I'll go up and have a look." ”

"Ah-," the child asked, startled, "and you dare to go up too?"

Jiang Xinxu said: "I'm just trying, if it doesn't work, I'll come down." …… , you wait for me here, don't wait for me to come down and trouble if I can't find you. ”

"Okay, I'll sit here and wait. …… Don't fall down, you'll definitely fall to your death. The child looked at him worriedly, and then at the steep hill.

The hill looks steep, but it doesn't feel that difficult to climb. Jiang Xinwei followed the cracks in the gravel of the hillside, constantly changing the direction of climbing, and after climbing for about half an hour, he finally climbed to the place that looked like the shadow of a tree.

Sure enough, it was the cave he had judged at the bottom of the mountain, a very irregular cave.

Before he entered the cave, he felt that this cave had been visited, not only were there stones that had been trampled on the outside of the cave, but there were also clothes to dry not far from the entrance of the cave, and this clothes were a shabby robe!

"Is there anyone inside?" Jiang Xinwei asked politely before walking in.

"Uh-" A startled voice came from inside, and then, a gray-haired old man came out of it, stared at Jiang Xinwei up and down, and asked unfriendly, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Xinwei was also taken aback when he saw him, he didn't expect that there was not only someone here, but also a person of such an age, so he couldn't help blurting out: "You...... How did you climb up?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Why can't Lao Dao, don't you come up too?"

"Old Daoist, are you really a Taoist priest?...... Jiang Xinwei was overjoyed, walked into the stone cave naturally, and asked politely, "Do you know Master Xiankong?"

The Taoist priest didn't answer him, but stared at him up and down again for a while, and asked, "Your surname is Jiang?"

Jiang Xinxu was surprised and blurted out, "How do you know?"

"Who told you to come?" asked Lao Dao's wrinkled eyes, which shot a terrible look inside, "Is it your grandfather, or your father?"

Jiang Xinwei looked at the other party in surprise and replied, "My grandfather has died a long time ago, how can my father know you?...... , I am a postman from the post and telecommunications office, and I came to deliver a letter to a person, and I saw that the Taoist temple below was completely destroyed, and I saw that there was a cave here, so I climbed up and took a look at it curiously......"

"Do you recognize this as a cave and not a tree down there?" asked the old man, his eyes narrowed.

Jiang Xinwei smiled and said, "I have good eyesight, if it weren't for my father's opposition, I would have applied for the pilot exam in high school." …… By the way, Dao Chief, do you know my grandfather?"

"I ...... , What do I know that guy for?" Although Lao Dao denied it, it was obvious from the tone of his voice that he not only knew each other, but also seemed to have a relationship between the two. Just when Jiang Xinwei was wondering about his grandfather's relationship with this person, Lao Dao asked again, "Your family has always lived in Shiqiao Town?"

"Yes. Jiang Xinwei always felt that the Taoist priest in front of him had a little relationship with his family, but he didn't ask, but answered the other party honestly, "My grandfather, my father, and our family all live in Shiqiao Town. ”

The old Taoist priest stared at his face for a while, then stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the letter." …… I'm going to see who remembers me with something old that should have been dead for years. ”

Jiang Xinwei didn't rush to hand over the letter to him, but asked, "Is there a person named Master Xuankong in your Taoist temple?"

"No!" the old Taoist priest asked impatiently, "will you give this letter or not?"

Jiang Xinwei patiently explained: "Because the recipient of this letter is very vague, I still can't be sure whether you are the recipient or not. Did you treat the wounded here during the Sino-Japanese War?"

"To give or not to give, or to get out!" said the old Taoist priest angrily, "There are many people who have been saved." …… , Lao Dao may not have saved many fewer people in this life than your grandfather. ”

To be honest, Jiang Xinwei is still not sure that the other party is the recipient of this letter, but thinking of the paragraph written on the back of the envelope, he took out the letter from his pocket.

The meaning of that passage is many, including the authorization of the post and telecommunications department to open the letter when necessary to confirm that the recipient is the person the sender is really looking for.

In front of the old Taoist priest, Jiang Xinwei gently tore open the envelope bag, took out a page of stationery from it, and then handed it to him, while saying, "I'm sorry, please don't break the paper." …… , you read the content carefully and analyze whether you are the person he is looking for. If not, we'll go back. ”

The old Taoist priest took the letter, glanced at it slightly, returned it to Jiang Xinwei, and sneered: "Yes, what he is looking for is me." …… ,Hmph,The front is full of gratitude,But the back doesn't want to relieve him of the pain of gunshot wounds?"

Jiang Xinwei asked in surprise: "Are you really his savior?"

The old Taoist priest said calmly: "At that time, this man named Zeng Hetao and his unit were fighting the Japanese army in this area, and many people were injured. Although I am a person from outside the world, I should also do something for the people, so I brought a few of their wounded soldiers into the temple to heal. They don't owe me anything, but I don't owe them anything. …… He is at least 60 years old now, and he still wants to be old-fashioned, do you want to live forever? You write back to him for me, five words: Be a man from your heart. ”

Jiang Xinwei asked, "He wants to donate assets to you......"

The old Taoist priest said categorically: "No need!"

Jiang Xinxu asked, "Don't you want to rebuild the Taoist temple?"

The old Taoist priest said: "If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, what else will it be rebuilt? …… , you go. By the way, you can also sue him that Dongguo Shan has been dead for thirteen years. ”

"Who is Dongguo Mountain?" Jiang Xinwei asked, seeing that the Taoist priest had no intention of answering at all, he had to change the topic and said, "Why don't you go down the mountain? It's not convenient to live here......

The old Taoist priest asked disappreciatively, "Is cultivating for convenience?"

Feeling that he had no common language with the old Taoist priest, Jiang Xinwei went down the mountain.

He is a person who has crossed over, in his previous life, whether it was from the media or in real life, he has seen a lot of individuals or groups who are willing to live a hard life, and the old man in front of him must be more than a hundred years old, he can still climb mountains, he can take care of himself in life, and he can even be literate, it is indeed enough, he is not qualified to pity him, and he does not need the pity of others.

The kid had been bored for a long time and just wanted to go home, and when he saw Jiang Xinwei coming down, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Uncle, did you see anything?"

Jiang Xinwei didn't want anyone to disturb the Taoist priest's practice, so he said, "It's nothing, it's just a dwarf tree." ”

The child said proudly, "Hehe, I know." It's obviously a tree, and you still climb up to see it, it's stupid!"

On the way back to Shiqiao Town, Jiang Xinwei still couldn't help but think about the relationship between this Taoist priest and his grandfather.

As soon as he entered the town, he saw an acquaintance, who was standing on the side of the road, and when he saw him, he shouted as if ordering: "Jiang Xinwei, come here!"
