Chapter 32: The Tenant
The presiding monk sits on a throne in the hall, and the monks sit around him. Before eating, knock on the large wooden fish and gourd-shaped iron plates hanging from the temple corridors.
Li Yun and Jing Xin, who were sitting in a corner, were eating food casually, and Li Yun looked at the presiding officer on the Dharma seat in the hall. A middle-aged monk with full muscle lines. The fat face is full of vicious flesh.
If it is said that he is a warrior monk in the temple, it is acceptable, but now he is the host of Zhongming Temple, and he does not look like a monk at all.
But now Li Yun is more concerned about the news that Jing Xin came back from the afternoon, there are actually not many tenants, and there are only nine of them.
Scattered to sit in the dining hall to eat, judging from the news that Jing Xin inquired, it seems that the tenants of these four men and three women are not the people who came to worship the Buddha.
A man sitting in the northwest corner was eating alone, wearing a black casual suit and his long hair was not discerning, but judging from Jing Xin's inquiry, this person had lived here for the longest time. He also does not worship the Buddha every day, but wanders around the temple and does not communicate with people, and the news he gets is minimal.
The greasy middle-aged man at the other table was abnormally obese, and the two women sitting opposite were very young and beautiful. One is called Ling Xiangqian, and the other is Sun Youyue.
And the middle-aged man's name is He Sanshui, and he is an upstart. But it seems that the congenital condition is insufficient, and I can't have children. The two women opposite were He Sanshui's mistresses, and they were brought to the temple to worship the son.
According to the news inquired by Jing Xin, He Sanshui promised that whoever conceived a child for him first would share half of the family property to that woman, so the two women were harmonious on the surface and served He Sanshui together. But in private, there is no need for it, and even some of the 'witchcraft' of the villain is used.
The woman sitting behind Li Yun and them had just moved in, and Jing Xin originally wanted to find out the news, but this woman, like the long-haired man, didn't communicate with people at all, and now she didn't even know her name.
The other two men sat and ate together, and from time to time they observed their surroundings, all of them looking vigilant at all times.
"Big brother, one of the two men is called Wang Yue, and the other is called Xiaofeng. I don't know exactly what I do, and I don't know what I say when I talk. ”
Looking at the appearance of Wang Yue and Xiaofeng, Jing Xin leaned into Li Yun's ear and whispered: "Big brother, look at their sneaky appearance, I guess the two of them must be policemen." ”
"Policeman, sneaky appearance, shouldn't it be a thief?"
Jing Xin put down the dishes and chopsticks and whispered: "Big brother, you don't know, you see the two of them flickering in their eyes but they don't avoid the eyes of others, and according to my observation, both of them have these deep calluses on their hands, and those calluses are obviously caused by holding a gun for a long time." ”
Li Yun looked at Jing Xin with some incredulity, this analysis didn't look like an anchor's, and asked curiously: "What did you do before?
Jing Xin, who was praised, immediately sat up straight, looked at Li Yun with his head held high, and said with a smile: "This is talent, do you know talent?"
Looking at the pompous Jing Xin, Li Yun didn't want to hit his performance at all, the identities of those two people were known to everyone in the temple, but they just didn't say it. So Jing Xin only knew the identity of the other party, not analyzed it himself.
Li Yun, who was eating a meal, asked Jing Xin, "Since you are so talented, can you tell me what's strange about this temple?"
"This, this, I think the news of the Niangniang Miracle is fake, that He Sanshui has lived here for so long and there is no news, it has no effect at all. ”
Bang!
The woman sitting behind the two people gave Jing Xin a kick directly from behind, and Jing Xin, who jumped up, turned around and yelled at the woman, "Why are you kicking me?"
And the woman stared at Jing Xin's eyes indifferently, wiped the corners of her mouth and stood up and left alone.
Jing Xin, who still wanted to ask, was pulled down by Li Yun, and everyone in the temple was staring at Jing Xin at this time, if he hadn't been pulled down by Li Yun, it was estimated that a monk would have come over to warn.
"Can you be quiet?"
"Boss, you don't know, which woman kicked me just now!"
Li Yun shook his head, looked around and whispered, "Don't worry about this matter for now, I'll tell you what's wrong with this temple." ”
"First of all, the long-haired man, you can see that there is a protruding mark on his right calf, and the shape is probably a weapon inside the dagger. ”
Jing Xin looked carefully, and it was indeed as Li Yun said, there were protruding marks on his calves, and he wondered how this person could carry a knife or dagger on his body.
Li Yun, who touched Jing Xin with his foot, continued: "Don't stare at others, you will be discovered." ”
Jing Xin, who came back to his senses, whispered: "Okay, do you want me to notify those two policemen?"
"No, it's not our job. And the woman who just kicked you, when she walked, she walked steadily, probably a practitioner, I think you'd better not go to her again. After thinking about it, Li Yun suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself: "But that hip shape is really good, a little taste." ”
"Well, big brother, what do you say?"
Li Yun, who knew that he was a little out of shape, hurriedly changed the topic, coughed lightly twice and said, "This is not the key, the key is that you look at these monks around you." ”
Jing Xin looked at the surrounding monks, the population of the entire Zhongming Temple is not very large, and there are only a dozen people in the host. Every monk ate their meal quietly, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"What do you think of the food?"
Regarding the topic that Li Yun suddenly diverged from, Jing Xin first paused. Then he said: "Don't say what kind of delicacies from the mountains and seas, these dishes are still very good." ”
"That's the problem, the food tastes actually good, but you take a closer look at the state of the monks eating. ”
Jing Xin, who was prompted, looked over again, and only then did he realize that something was wrong. When everyone eats, they swallow the food directly, without any chewing action.
It's as if those meals are hard to swallow and you choose to swallow them in order to eat.
Jing Xin, who was suspicious, took another bite of the food in front of him, and it tasted good. When eating, they all serve together to eat, and everyone's food tastes the same, why are these monks all looking like they are hard to swallow.
Li Yun ate the food quickly, stood up and said to Jing Xin beside him: "Let's leave after eating, this temple is very problematic, it is estimated that we will have to live for a while." ”
