Chapter 164: Missing Eyes (Part 1)
After all, Wang Fulin is a not very firm theist, so unlike those who torture their faith after hearing the thunderbolt from the blue, and at the same time desperately reflect on whether they have done bad things recently, these thoughts are the first to come to mind. Seeing that Xiaobei had already held Ye Mingyue's arm tightly, and the appearance of his loyal protector was extremely funny, he couldn't help but laugh. Listening with his ears, he found that after that sound, there was no continued rumbling, but there seemed to be a vaguely familiar sound.
How does it seem to be the sound of flowing water? No, the weather has been very good these days, and it hasn't rained, how can there be any emergencies such as flash floods?
Without his orders, the monks in Fusheng Temple had already organized people to go to the left to investigate, and Ye Mingyue, who was originally going to go back immediately, also changed her mind and temporarily rested in the temple. After about a quarter of an hour, several monks who had gone to investigate the situation hurried back, carrying not so good news.
A mountain stream next to Fusheng Temple was abruptly diverted, burying a small part of the way up the mountain, although the current is now very small, not to completely wash away the bluestone roadbed, but at least it must be cleaned up before going down the mountain.
At this time, the pilgrims who were still stranded in the Fusheng Temple, plus Wang Fulin's party, there were less than twenty people in total. Unlike Wang Fulin and Ye Mingyue, who came for the first time, several of them were old pilgrims. At this time, when I heard that the mountain stream had buried the road up the mountain, some people shouted: "How is this possible! The mountain stream flows down from a spring in the Xigan ♂ Mountains, the flow of water is limited, and even in the summer rainy season, it has never been diverted, how can such a thing happen on such a beautiful sunny day? ”
"I've been to Fusheng Temple more than once or twice, all year round. There were more times when the mountain stream was broken than when there was water. I've never encountered anything like this. Someone must be playing tricks! ”
In this chaotic shouting, Wang Fulin glanced at Ye Mingyue, and saw that the county daughter replied with a knowing look, and he instructed a few sedan chair drivers to check whether the sedan chair sliding rod and other things were in good condition, so that they could leave at that time, and then beckoned Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei to leave the noisy scene for the time being, and returned to the previous room.
Seeing that there was no one quiet here, he said bluntly: "I'm just guessing. I don't know, it is estimated that someone first blocked the cofferdam at the source of the mountain stream, and when the water accumulated, this trick came. Should we be glad that people didn't open the sluice gates and release water when we were going up and down the mountain? ”
"You're saying that the upper reaches of that mountain stream were blocked before?" Xiaobei suddenly understood, and immediately widened her eyes, seeing that Ye Mingyue was lowering her head and pondering, she suddenly turned her head and rushed out. But before she had crossed the threshold, she heard a voice behind her.
"People must have run away early!" After Wang Fulin stopped Xiaobei, he said to Ye Mingyue. "Besides, the ten temples in Shuixi are all on the mountain, which temple monks will sit and watch the blessed land suffer. Without us having to think about it, they must have sent someone to check it out! If someone really uses this method, I'm afraid what will happen to the county government, you stay on the mountain for a while, and I will take someone back first. ”
Ye Mingyue only felt that she had thought too simple before, and immediately stopped: "Those monks will never see that the way down the mountain to buy and the believers to go up the mountain is blocked, and they will definitely dig this road out as much as possible." If even the trick of using water power is really used, will Anzhi have other more radical back-ups? It's better to wait......"
"It's because it's likely that someone has released this taboo trick this time, so I have to rush back as much as I can, so as not to have time to react to something. I only took two people, Liu Si, and then went to this Fusheng Temple to find a monk who led the way, they have been living in the mountains, and they will definitely know a few trails. Some people will surely think that since I sent you here, I will not leave you to go back alone, but I don't believe that anyone can block every path in this Xigan Mountain! ”
Ye Mingyue saw Wang Fulin nodding at herself, so she turned around and went out, she wanted to say something, but the words finally broke off in her mouth. She said to Wang Fulin that she came out today to make people feel that her father was really sick, so as to lure the snake out of the hole and catch the bait, so she wanted to come to the Shuixi Ten Temple, which was full of incense, to pray for peace, but the real reason was that she was really tired and tired in the city and county seat, so she wanted to come out and take a walk in the green mountains and green waters. But because of her rare willfulness, someone may have taken advantage of the loophole.
She forgot about it, this is not the Ningbo Mansion where she was born and raised, and her mother, who has a strong temperament, is not around, and there are not so many relatives and friends, so she has to tense her nerves all the time!
"Miss? Miss? Xiaobei tugged on Ye Mingyue's sleeve vigorously, and seeing that she was still standing there in a daze, she couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "Is this nerd really going to be able to go?" Where had he seen those pickled and obscene methods, maybe people were really waiting for him in ambush on the way down the mountain? ”
Ye Mingyue was shocked at this time, and when she saw Xiaobei's eyes frequently glancing out, she suddenly moved her lips: "Then you follow him down the mountain." ”
Xiaobei never expected to wait for such an answer, and his eyes widened: "Then how can it be done!" ”
"There are still so many monks and pilgrims in the Fusheng Temple, so there will be no one plotting evil here. As long as I report my identity to the host, he will naturally settle my party properly. On the contrary, when looking for a path down the mountain, you may encounter unexpected things, you are agile, and walking with him, even if there is any small danger, it will definitely not stop you. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Mingyue suddenly pressed her hands on Xiaobei's shoulders and whispered word by word: "This is also for Dad." You know, although Dad's illness is not so serious, he is not a very determined person, I am afraid that he will not be able to support the chaos when the time comes, and if something goes wrong, all his efforts before that will be in vain! The younger brother and Jinbao Qiufeng are still young after all, although Master Li is reliable, but he is afraid of accidents! ”
It was only at this time that Xiaobei showed a struggling expression. When Ye Mingyue let go of the hand that was holding her shoulder, but directly hugged her in her arms, she couldn't help but think of the moment when she escaped on the edge of life and death, and the moment when she grabbed Mrs. Su's outstretched hand in front of her after being displaced for a long time. thought of the nurse telling her before she died, she must listen to Mrs. Su's words. Be sure to repay the moment of gratitude. She didn't hesitate for a moment. said in a muffled voice: "If you let me go, I will go!" ”
When Wang Fulin got the news and guide he wanted from the host, and hurried back to tell Ye Mingyue that there were indeed several trails down the mountain, he had to face a somewhat unexpected news - Ye Mingyue actually pushed Xiaobei to himself! He instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing that the master and servant were all firm-eyed, and it was clear that the nine cows could not be pulled back, he had to sigh and say, "Then I will follow the guide with Xiaobei to take the path back to the city first." As for Kang Da Liu Si. They stayed...... Don't bargain with me, even though this is a quiet place for Buddhism, there is always no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. ”
Xiaobei naturally wanted two more people to stay and protect his young lady, and immediately looked at Ye Mingyue with pleading eyes at this moment. Seeing that she hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly, she was relieved, and when she looked at Wang Fulin again, she felt that this little show was much more pleasing to the eye. When the other attendants rushed back, and Ye Mingyue sent them to the back gate of the temple, she turned back in three steps, until she and Wang Fulin followed the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes into a bamboo forest. The greenery completely obscured her vision, and she made up her mind to withdraw her gaze.
The next path is not easy to follow. After all. No one will have nothing to eat and be full, and choose this kind of winding and rugged path instead of taking the bluestone slab mountain road in front of them. What made Wang Fulin even more depressed was that he had made it clear to the abbot of Fusheng Temple that he had made it clear to the abbot of Fusheng Temple, and the other party immediately patted his chest and said that he would do his best to help, and chose this little monk who claimed to have grown up in Xiganshan and knew the road best. But right now, he only saw the little monk leading the way in front, and he had to stop and meditate for a while, the more he looked, the more he felt that it was not so reliable, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Has the little master really walked through this mountain road?" ”
"At the beginning, the ten temples in Shuixi had an auspicious time, and the mountain road in front of it was all jammed, and I went down the mountain at that time to take this trail." When he said this, the little monk still had some suspicious anger on his face, but immediately after, he said something that made Wang Fulin and Xiaobei all dumbfounded, "I was twelve years old that year, how could I not remember the road?" ”
Wang Fulin and Xiaobei looked at each other, and they all had an urge to scold. This little monk is at least sixteen or seventeen years old now, and he can remember the mountain road he walked four or five years ago clearly, it is simply a fantasy! However, the two of them looked back at the way where it was almost difficult to discern the direction, and thought that they had walked for half an hour, and finally discouraged the urge to return the same way. Let's not say that this stubborn-looking little monk is willing to take it back, calculate the time it takes to be lost on the road back and forth, and I want to enter the city today!
Having said that, when the path that could still be vaguely seen at the beginning of his feet gradually became overgrown with weeds, and it was almost impossible to distinguish the traces of anyone walking, Xiaobei finally couldn't help it. She suddenly rushed up, grabbed the little monk's collar without saying a word, and shouted: "Hey, you didn't deliberately take us around in circles to trick us, right?" If you really dare to play aunt and grandmother, be careful that I hang you from a tree and feed the wolves! ”
It's okay that Xiaobei didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he spoke, the delicate female voice suddenly couldn't deceive people anymore. The little monk's eyes widened, and he stared at her for a long time before finally stammering, "You...... Are you a woman? Seeing Xiaobei raise his fist as if he wanted to hit someone, he quickly retracted his head and said with a crying voice, "I didn't deliberately take you around in circles, I turned around where there was a stump, but there were many more stumps along the way, I couldn't tell the difference, just find one and turn the corner......"
Hearing this, even Wang Fulin, who wanted to persuade Xiaobei not to be so rude at first, jumped his temples, and he couldn't wait to pick up his sleeves and beat the little monk in person. When he went to the abbot to preside over the guide before, this little monk and several other monks rushed to be the guide, he was afraid that the people who were doing things on the mountain stream would cheat in this link, and after interrogating them one by one, he chose this one who seemed to be honest, and it turned out that he was completely blind-because this kid was completely lacking in heart!
ps: On the last day of today's long holiday, I asked for a monthly pass recommendation ticket, thank you! Today's same three watches, at the end of the month to see if it can break out (to be continued......)
