Chapter 31: Making a Wish
"Grandma.... Have you ever met the father-in-law of the land? ”
The old woman looked at the boy lovingly and said, "Grandma is not blessed to meet the father-in-law of the land, but someone in our hometown has seen it a long time ago. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's a pity that now our hometown is deserted, and everyone has gone to the city. The land temple is demolished, and the land temple is poured, and there is not much left, even if there is, except for some old people, few people go to worship, and the city is not allowed to repair the land temple now, so ah... After a few years, people will forget that there is such a good god as the land god. Fortunately, when I was walking here a few mornings ago, I found this land temple, and I didn't know that it was built by that good man. ”
The little boy asked again, "Grandma, can the father-in-law really cure my eyes?" ”
"Silly boy.... Our neighbor little Mosia, she is the land lord. ”
"But Dad said it was cured by the god of the earth!"
"What does your dad know! Shiro read him so many books... Isn't the god of the earth the god of the land? The god of the land is the lord of the land! ”
The little boy felt a little reasonable, nodded and said, "Oh... I understand. It must be that the land lord spoke the Chinese dialect, and they couldn't understand it, so they heard it and became the god of the earth. ”
The old woman nodded happily: "Good grandson, what a clever!" When your eyes are healed, grandma will take you home and go back to our real homeschooling. You have to study hard, and you can't be uneducated like your father. He didn't even understand such a simple thing! When I returned to China, my grandmother would build a hundred land temples to thank the land lord. ”
"Well, don't worry, grandma, I'll study hard!
The old woman took the bag in the boy's hand, took out the incense candle, took two steps forward, and respectfully lit the candle and the incense, and placed them. Two more steps back.
The old woman bowed respectfully, bowed to the land temple, and bowed three times. It seems to be saying something, but the voice is very small.
Zhang Hanming opened his eyes violently and looked at the fat man on the bed. He gently walked out of the bedroom, transformed into Pete's appearance, and teleported to the Land Temple.
Liang Dazhui and Liu Kuan suddenly saw a ghost in front of them, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and they were relieved after finding out that it was Zhang Hanming. The two also hurried up.
Liang Da Hammer asked in a low voice, "Pete, why are you here!" ”
Zhang Hanming looked around first, found that there were no other ghosts, and smiled at the two ghosts: "It's strange, I sensed it when they started worshipping, and this is the first time I have felt this way." I'll take a look. ”
Liu Kuan thought for a while and said, "This is normal, you are now the acting land master." Someone came to make a wish, of course you can sense it. After a while, I guess there will be more and more people, and I'm going to annoy you to death by then! In addition, is this land temple too small? ”
Zhang Hanming said to Liu Kuan: "If you are annoying, you will be annoyed, anyway, I am bored and tight." I'll talk about the Land Temple after a while. ”
The old woman gently touched the little boy's back: "Xiao Ming, come... Bow three times to the land lord. ”
The little boy bowed three times under the guidance of the old woman.
"Alright, that's it! The land lord will come and heal your eyes soon! ”
The little boy asked strangely, "Grandma, is this okay?" It's so easy! Don't I write to the landlord like Mosia? ”
"No, incense is more pious than writing letters."
"Oh!"
"Alright... Xiao Ming. Let's go home, and if your mom and dad know we're here, we'll be to blame. ”
Liang Dazhui saw that they were leaving, so he said to Zhang Hanming: "Pete, what about this child?" ”
Zhang Hanming smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I will arrange it." They're leaving, Liu Kuan, you send them back. ”
"Holo..."
"Dude. Let's go upstairs and talk. Old black? ”
"Lao Hei has gone to the place where the letter was sent."
Zhang Hanming and Liang Dazhui floated directly into the bedroom on the second floor, and the two sat down in the bedroom. Zhang Hanming opened his mouth and said, "Brother, is there no news from the church?" ”
"No, the head hasn't come back yet. Han Ming, do you want me to arrange for someone to go halfway..."After speaking, Liang Dazhui made a gesture of killing everything.
Zhang Hanming was slightly stunned, and thought about it carefully: "It's too dangerous, in case that the knights really come, and they are all masters?" ”
Liang Dazhui thought for a while and said, "Can I go to Los Angeles and find some help." It's the brothers who have believed, they are basically hundred-year-old ghosts, and they will help us a lot! ”
Zhang Hanming perked up: "Oh... Yes! You can have as many as you want! ”
"There are probably more than 2,000 brothers!"
Zhang Hanming said in surprise: "So many? All in Los Angeles? ”
Liang Dazhui said with a gloomy expression: "They are basically early Chinese laborers, and they died early for various reasons. They are now clustered in an abandoned church 30 kilometers outside of Los Angeles, where they are surviving. Because he was unwilling to die, he had endured endless hardships before his death, and he was strong-willed, so he generally had a long life. ”
"Since they're all your own people, let's call them. It's definitely better to be in the land temple than in the wilderness. You should have brought them a long time ago! ”
"I actually wanted to bring them a long time ago, but....! They all hate white people because they, like me, had a lot of them go through the Chinese Exclusion Act in their lifetimes, and many of them even died in the conflict. If they come to the Land Temple and regain their strength, I am afraid that they will be restless, and if they want to make trouble, the consequences will be too serious! ”
Zhang Hanming looked at Liang Dazhui and asked, "It shouldn't be that serious, right?" It's been all these years. ”
"Most of them should have seen it, but there are also many who can't open their hearts. You haven't experienced the misery of not knowing them. To put it mildly, that's a place where death has no place to be buried! ”
Zhang Hanming nodded: "I have learned a little bit about this, indeed... We haven't experienced it, and we don't know how much our ancestors suffered and how many sins they suffered in the United States. Bring them all... Before entering Barstow, go to the place where the offerings are burned, and rest first, and I will talk to them first. ”
Liang Dazhui said excitedly: "Okay." Thank you! Before I came, I asked them to promise me one by one that they couldn't make things happen casually, although they didn't have much culture, but they were all good men who value faith and righteousness! ”
"Thanks for what? The Land Temple was originally our own. We can't just watch them drift away! ”
"Hmm... Hamming... So I'm going to go to Los Angeles right now? ”
Zhang Hanming thought for a while: "Take Lao Hei with you, it's a long way, and there is a response." If you run into a monster like a dementor, don't force it. ”
"Well... Rest assured, I know how to do it! I'm going to find Lao Hei now. “
"Hmm... I'm going back too, so I'll get up and take a look at the place where I sent the letter. ”
Kerthia was sitting at her desk in her pajamas, holding a pen in her right hand, and was staring at the blank letter on the desk in a daze!
"Kashia... You're useless. Don't you miss your sister very much? Why can't you write a word when you know you can write to her? Don't you have a thousand words to say to your sister? Write ah... You write it! ”
She slammed the pen on the desk, quickly got up, walked to the kitchen refrigerator, took out a bottle of beer, and drank it all in one gulp. She wiped her mouth, walked back to her desk, and picked up her pen to write.
Dear Sister,
Time passes, you have been gone for a year, and time has only left memories. Only your infinite care for me and our most precious moments of affection. I used to be so ignorant! In fact, many times I really want to say to you that I love you, because of the numbness, so I can't say anything, but I really want to say it! I love you sister........
With tears in her eyes, she gently folded the letter. Then he carefully put it in the envelope, and from the bag next to him, he took out twenty dollars, folded it in half, and put it in the envelope.
She looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost early morning. She gritted her teeth, quickly walked into the bedroom, put on a long black coat, and walked straight to the door.
Lao Hei patted the table lightly: "Play the cards, play the cards, what do you think?" Hurry up and play your cards...."
"A tube...."
Lao Hei looked at Shangjia with disdain: "There are three on the table!" Your mother... Do you want to take a half day out of a tube? ”
"I'm sorry, Brother Black. I'm not good at technology, and I'm a little slow to play cards, no wonder, no wonder! ”
Lao Hei ignored him, reached out and touched a card, and rubbed his face for a long time: "Haha.... Two tubes! Self-draw! ”
Zhang Hanming and Liang Da Hammer floated to the vicinity of Lao Hei, just saw this scene, Zhang Hanming thought that Lao Hei touched a card, but he didn't expect a second cylinder to touch for a long time, he despised Lao Hei fiercely in his heart.
"Old Black... Stop it. Errands are going! ”
Lao Hei heard the familiar voice, looked back, and found that Liang Dazhui and Zhang Hanming were coming: "Hehe.... I was too involved just now to notice you guys coming! What to do? ”
"Go to Los Angeles."
"Oh."
"Wait... How were the three thieves last time? ”
"Haha, those three unlucky guys, two of them went to a mental hospital, and one ran fast and ran in the direction of Las Vegas!"
Zhang Hanming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't play like this in the future!" Just let them suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, the mental illness is too serious! ”
"Hehe... Good! Peter. ”
"Hmm... Then go for it! Be careful on the road. ”
Zhang Hanming watched Liang Dazhui and Lao Hei leave, and then looked at the three old Chinese ghosts who were looking at him, and was about to sit down, rubbing two circles, when he suddenly remembered that he was the image of Pete, and smiled slightly: "I won't fight!" You guys play...."
He turned to leave, when he suddenly found Kashia walking towards the mailbox, in a hurry, and couldn't wait. Zhang Hanming smiled, knowing that she should have inquired clearly and came to send the letter! It was not a good thing for a girl to walk down the street in the middle of the night. Although Barstow is a small place and has good security, it doesn't mean that there are no bad guys!
watched her carefully stuff the letter into the mailbox, and was worried in front of the mailbox for a while, before slowly turning around and leaving.
