Chapter 465: An Old Well
"This ......"
Listening to Zuo Yang's question, Bu Ya took the lead in shaking his head and said, "I'm definitely not, recently I have been staying in the room playing games except for coming to see my grandfather, and basically haven't gone out, Dad, Auntie, do you have any?" β
"Neither do I."
Buya's father recalled, shook his head, and said, "Recently, there have been some small situations in my company, and I am now running at both ends, and I can't spare time to go to that kind of messy place." β
"Me too."
Buya's aunt also shrugged her shoulders immediately afterwards and said rather blankly.
"That's kind of weird."
Zuo Yang originally wanted to find some clues about the true body of this "ι" through them, so that he might be able to passively wait for this "ι" to come to the door instead of passively waiting for this "ι" to come to the door, and strike first.
After all, although he is now using the Soul Detention Bell Array to temporarily lock the soul drunk in the Year of the Sixtieth Sixtieth Century, this is only to prevent this "Spirit" from using brute force to forcibly disperse the already weak soul drunk in the Year of the Sixtieth Armor, so as to complete the plan of "deceiving the corpse and deceiving the bones" in advance, and in fact, it cannot be used to extend the longevity of the drunken Sixtieth Year...... He will definitely not do this, because the act of prolonging the yang life in the year of the sixtieth year for the sake of forcibly acting is simply going against the sky, and it is the worst kind, and he will definitely receive very serious heavenly retribution after that, and it is definitely not the kind of retribution that has appeared in the past.
And even if he is now determined to temporarily destroy the clone of this "Wei", this will definitely cause some damage to the "Wei", but just as the "Wei" said, as long as its true body is not destroyed, it can exist forever between heaven and earth, at most, it can hide and be silent for a period of time to recover its vitality, and it can still persistently find opportunities to find trouble with the Liu family, and can also wait for opportunities to come to him for trouble.
This is something that will definitely happen, because the demons and monsters in heaven and earth are actually the souls of people who died in vain, so their obsession and revenge will be strong to the extent that ordinary people can't understand, once the people they are targeting, unless they can find a way to completely eliminate them, they will definitely be found by it.
It is precisely because of this that Zuo Yang has this question.
But now it seems that this method will not work, because judging from the current attitude of these three people towards themselves, they will not lie to themselves.
Of course, it is not excluded that some of them have done some hurtful things and have a debt of life, so they will be approached by this "ghost", and this kind of thing will definitely not be easily said to him as an outsider, even if it is the closest person...... But this kind of thing will definitely be shown in the face, and after seeing their faces, Zuo Yang can completely rule out this possibility.
ββ¦β¦β
Bu Ya and the other three saw Zuo Yang frowning and inhaling when they saw them, and they didn't dare to intervene to disturb him, they just sat silently and waited, and at the same time, they were also trying to recall their recent experience in their hearts, for fear of missing a small detail, thus giving Zuo Yang the wrong answer and misleading him.
After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Yang could only give up the plan of "striking first", and said to Buya's father again: "In this case, this problem will be revealed first, let's prepare for tonight first, Mr. Liu, I need you to prepare some slices...... To put it bluntly, it's a thin sheet made of bamboo, and I have some extra red rope and wire, a silver longevity lock, and oh yes, an ink fountain that is often used by woodworkers in the countryside. β
"Okay, I've written it all down, could I ask the master to take a look at it if there's anything missing?"
Buya's father's movements were also very fast, and as Zuo Yang finished speaking, he had actually written them all down in a small notebook that he didn't know where to take it out, and handed the notebook to Zuo Yang for him to check.
Just through this small detail, it can be seen that the reason why Buya's father was able to become such a character is that in addition to numerology and the old man's fame, it is also inseparable from his own efforts.
"Well, it's all on it."
Zuo Yang glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and wrote down the specifications of these things he needed on it, such as how long and wide the slices need to be, what material the red rope should be, how thick the wire should be, and so on.
"Master, when will you want these things?"
Buya's father then asked.
"The sooner the better, the latest will be delivered before dinner today, I need to prepare in advance, and I will personally keep vigil for the old man tonight."
Zuo Yang said.
"No problem, I'll send this list to my secretary."
Buya's father said very solemnly, "I just want the master to personally keep vigil for the old man, I'm afraid I will be wronged by the master, if the master has any other needs, please also put it forward, as long as I can find it, it must be the same as a lot to satisfy the master." β
"Hmmm......"
Zuo Yang thought about it, and finally said very realistically, "Otherwise, you can prepare some coffee for me, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay up at night and accidentally fall asleep." β
"Uh......"
Hearing this, Buya's father and the other three looked at Zuo Yang with a stunned face.
In their eyes, Zuo Yang was already a living immortal who was high above, but now he suddenly put forward such a down-to-earth demand, which naturally made them a little unexpected.
β¦β¦
After lunch, Zuo Yang didn't have anything to do for the time being, so he stood up and went outside for a turn, digesting and digesting food while familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment by the way.
He wasn't sure that the "Monster" would appear tonight, maybe he would have to keep watch for a few nights in a row.
However, since it was night, it was necessary for him to figure out the surrounding environment first, so as not to be blinded by the dark lights and be turned around by this "ghost" using the terrain.
"Big brother, I'll go with you, I'm quite familiar with this neighborhood."
Buya, this little kid, is also very earnest now, and when he heard that Zuo Yang had this meaning, he hurriedly followed Zuo Yang, and he didn't know how close he was to a big brother.
"Okay."
Zuo Yang didn't refute his face, nodded, and walked out of the living room with him.
The two of them first walked around the courtyard, and Bu Ya chattered endlessly like a tour guide to introduce the use of each room in the courtyard to Zuo Yang, and opened each room to check it at Zuo Yang's request.
The houses here have recently been renovated, and all the dΓ©cor doesn't look like a rural house at all, and the furniture inside is brand new, so there's nothing special to pay attention to.
So after walking around the courtyard, the two came to the courtyard together.
The outside of the yard has obviously only recently undergone some rest, and unlike those nearby yards, a large area around this yard has been paved with smooth concrete floors, and even several common fitness equipment in the community have been installed in the process of resting, which also looks incompatible with this backward mountain village.
Although these fitness equipment may not be used in the year of the sixtieth year, it can be regarded as a good deed, at least in disguise to bring some benefits to some of the left-behind elderly people who still live in this village.
Now, there are two old ladies who are not very old, occupying two swinging walkers, basking in the sun and chatting.
Seeing Zuo Yang and Buya coming out of the courtyard, the two old ladies unconsciously turned their heads and looked at them twice.
One of the old ladies seemed to have a good relationship with Buya's grandfather, so she was also familiar with Buya, Chong Buya smiled and said to him in a leaky voice with a toothless mouth: "The eldest grandson of the old Liu family, I haven't seen you pushing your grandfather out to bask in the sun for a few days, isn't he?" β
"My grandfather has just had a little cold for the past two days, and it's fine."
Buya also greeted the old lady with a smile, and said vaguely that no matter how young he was, he would not tell an outsider about his family.
"As long as this person is old, he should come out more to bask in the sun and activities if he has a little illness or disaster, and he will be sick if he is not sick when he is lying in the house."
The old lady's temperament is quite simple, and she still said to Buya in that chatter, "Look at me, I am eighty-two years old this year, and my body is still strong, you also persuade your grandfather, don't stay in the house all the time, and it will be better to go out to bask in the sun." β
"Got it, when I get back to my grandfather, I'll push him out to slip around."
Buya responded politely, but obviously didn't want to be entangled with the old lady on this topic anymore, so he turned his head and said to Zuo Yang, "Big brother, the cement floor near here is all paved by my father, not only in the front of the yard, but also in the back of the yard, I will take you to the back to go around." β
"Hmm."
Zuo Yang nodded.
As a result, the two of them had just walked a few steps to the back of the yard, and the old lady shouted at the two of them again: "The eldest grandson of the old Liu family, you two are going around here, don't go to the back, it's not easy to walk behind, don't accidentally fall!" β
"Don't worry, it's also the concrete floor that my dad just found someone to pave behind here, and he can't fall."
Bu Ya turned around and smiled at the old lady and said.
"Of course I know this, otherwise how can I say that the construction team in the city is all pit people now?"
The old lady then wrinkled her face again, and chattered and said, "Your family has only been looking for someone to shop this place for a few days, and the cement floor behind it has cracked several big holes, and the cement slabs have been warped. β
"Impossible, right?"
Buya said with some disbelief, his father is very willing to spend money in the old man's place, and he will definitely not find the kind of construction team that cuts corners to construct, and the materials must be very generous, there is no reason for the cement to crack so quickly.
However, in the past few days, because they have been busy with their grandfather's affairs, their family has rarely come to this back......
"Why can't I coax you?"
The old lady was not happy at first, and said to Buya, "If you don't believe it, go and see, there are several bosses, just when you turn around and ask your father to find the construction team, let those lambs who don't do personnel lose money, let's not eat this kind of stuffy loss." β
"Ang ......"
Hearing this, Bu Ya didn't say anything more, and walked quickly to the back of the courtyard with Zuo Yang.
Sure enough, as soon as they turned the corner of the courtyard wall, they had already seen a few cracks more than ten meters behind his yard, and it was indeed as the old lady said, many cement blocks had been warped in those cracks.
Through the incisions of these cracks, the cement floor here is made of very strong concrete, and the materials used for these concrete are also very real, the upper layer is 20 centimeters thick, even if the government funds to build a cement road through the village may not be able to achieve such a thickness, can not be regarded as cutting corners.
"This ......"
Seeing this scene, Buya didn't know what to say, just like the old lady said, it has only been repaired for a few days, how can it have become this virtue?
"It doesn't look like the construction team is cutting corners, it's more like there have been some crustal movements (earthquakes) here recently, but the scope and destructive power of the crustal movement is definitely not so small......"
Squatting in front of the crack to take a closer look, Zuo Yang also said to himself thoughtfully.
"But what the hell is going on, why don't I ask my dad and ask him to find someone to fix it up?"
Bu Ya frowned and said.
"There's no hurry."
Zuo Yang shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he finally turned back to Buya and asked, "You said that you are familiar with this place, so do you know what was here before the renovation?" β
"In my mind......"
Buya recalled carefully, said, "There seems to be a well here, when I was very young, my grandfather also took me to draw water in this well, and then the village was connected to running water, this well is no longer used, plus there are fewer and fewer people living in the village, and it is slowly abandoned, when I came back a few years ago, it has become a wasteland, and the grass is as high as a man." β
"Well?"
Zuo Yang answered.
"Oh yes, I remembered!"
Buya suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly said, "When my dad was repairing this place before, he seemed to have told me that if he wanted to repair it well, he would fill in a well, and he drank the water from this well when he was young, so he was a little reluctant to fill this well...... Now it seems that this well was filled by my dad after all. β
"Hmmm......"
Listening to Buya's words, Zuo Yang bowed slightly.
However, according to common sense, a well is filled and filled, and it is impossible to have a connection with the cracking of the cement floor, and it is even more incompatible with the "ι" that appears on the old man.
But if you liberate your brain, don't follow common sense......
