Chapter Twenty-Six: Caught in a Trap

No one knows from whose mouth the news first came.

Because of Baofengsi Village, the dozens of villagers whose houses were buried by the flash flood all said that a goddess came to tell them that there would be a flash flood in the mountain that night. If they stay at home late at night, they will be buried in the mud and sand.

Someone sighed that at first he thought it was just a dream, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't know that there was really a flash flood. Fortunately, the family was uneasy that night, and did not dare to sleep, and when they heard the commotion behind the village, they quickly ran out of the house, and survived.

The morning after the flash flood, the villagers who survived the catastrophe would tell each other about the goddess's dream, and then said that the people of Baofeng Temple Village were outstanding and had the protection of the gods, otherwise how could they give them dreams.

Among them, someone suddenly remembered that there was a very important thing in the dream, and he said: The goddess also said, there will be a greater disaster in the future, and if our village wants to stop that disaster, we must quickly find someone to go to the village under the big locust tree to build a temple of the mountain king.

"Yes, yes, yes...... I almost forgot that she told me that in my dreams. ”

The villagers said a few words, and they all said strange things about the goddess's dream.

If a person said these words, it might be regarded as a mental problem, but dozens of families in the village were spreading this, and the villagers were a little panicked for a while.

There are also people who suggest that everyone should leave the village and stay outside for a while before coming back.

But as soon as he said this, everyone began to oppose it, and finally even he himself rejected this idea.

One is that the goddess of the dream didn't say when the catastrophe would come, who knows if it will wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, in case it doesn't happen when she hides outside, she will suffer when she comes back.

The second is that everyone's ancestors have lived in Baofengsi Village for generations, where the land is fertile, and there are big rivers flowing through the village, if such a good hometown is destroyed by the flash flood, it is not only a pity, but also their elderly people can not live.

In this way, some people say that the dream of the goddess has been fulfilled, so if she says that the temple of the mountain king can prevent the disaster, there should be no problem. Everyone can quickly repair it, anyway, a small mountain king temple is not a big project.

So, everyone began to discuss who should take the lead.

In those days, the ninth master didn't know what to do outside, and Liu Ruoxue stayed at my house without leaving home, waiting for me to go out to ask them about the news of the villagers.

To be honest, if Liu Ruoxue hadn't told me in advance that she was going to dream for the villagers, I guess I would have panicked at that time.

Because the flash flood that night was really scary, but bizarrely, not a single villager was injured.

I followed the villagers to gather in the dam of Wang Fugui's compound, and it felt like Wang Fugui's family was going to hold a banquet and invite the whole village to dinner.

All the villagers who could come came.

I saw Wang Fugui's black face and shouted: "You are all one by one, even if you don't know the knowledge, haven't you all provided for student babies at home!" Look, what age is this, you still believe in the of the goddess's dream, I think you are full. ”

At this time, some villagers jumped out and said, "Village chief, we have all dreamed, and the words of the goddess have been partially fulfilled, what do you say about this." ”

Wang Fugui had a calm face, his eyes rolled quickly, and he said, "Nonsense! It's a natural disaster, so why didn't I dream about it? ”

"Village chief, you didn't get the goddess to ask for a dream, so we don't know why she didn't tell you." , the villagers began to babble.

Even some people who usually don't dare to resist Wang Fugui dared to jump out and say: "Is it the village chief that you have done something bad, so that the goddess doesn't give you a dream!" ”

Wang Fugui snorted coldly and scolded: "It's nonsense! You are really lawless, a flash flood, just, scared you to the point of urine, you don't even listen to my words, it's really useless! ”

Naturally, the villagers didn't understand why Wang Fugui was reluctant to take the lead in repairing the temple of the king of the mountain, but I knew why.

That night, the soul of the lame man took me to see with my own eyes what Wang Fugui did by the well, although I don't know what deal he made with the python in the well, but I think it must be his conspiracy.

Seeing that Wang Fugui did not take the lead in repairing the temple, some villagers coaxed and said, "So many strange things have happened in the village recently, it has only been a few days, you see that Li Er and Zhang Hu died so horribly, not to mention, even the three ancestors knelt by the coffin and died, which may be a big omen." ”

Under such circumstances, the thinking of the villagers really made me feel that people are terrible. It seems that everyone is usually ruthless out of fear of Wang Fugui, and they are kind to him, because they have not encountered a big disaster.

But fortunately, when the villagers encountered problems, they did not fly separately when major disasters came, at least everyone still had the same purpose, to protect themselves and the village.

Seeing that everyone is united, no matter how arrogant Wang Fugui is, it is impossible for him to be the enemy of the whole village.

After a moment of silence, he said with a straight face: "The mountain king temple, although it is superstitious, but it can't be said that it can be repaired casually, if I want to take the lead in repairing the temple, if something goes wrong behind it, do you think it's my Wang Fugui's fault!" ”

Everyone was silent.

However, in addition to the village head, there is also a person in the village with good organizational skills, named Li Laohan.

This Li Laohan usually loves to fight with the village chief, and at this time he calmly told the villagers at the scene that since the village chief is afraid of accidents, he Li Laohan is not afraid, and he will take the lead to find someone to help build the Shanwang Temple.

Li Laohan is in his early fifties, younger than my grandfather, and is my best grandfather with little hair Li Kebin. I have been following Li Kebin since I was a child, calling him Grandpa Li.

Originally, Li Kebin and Li Bin, who died before, their respective ancestors were actually brothers, but there was a conflict due to family reasons. Since Li Kebin's grandfather's generation, the two families have not talked about each other as if they were old and dead, and they are secretly competing with each other.

Later, Li Bin's grandfather entered Jianshan Village, and there was the origin of my name Li Kebin.

It can be seen from the names of the grandchildren that the person who died in Jianshan Village was named Li Bin, and my little grandfather named him Li Kebin, which has the meaning of Li Bin in Jianshan Village. These are digressions.

In other words, heroes come out of troubled times, and brave men come out of great difficulties.

Hearing Li Laohan say this, the villagers immediately responded to him, and everyone began to contribute money and efforts, so that Li Laohan quickly went to find someone who understands this business.

Wang Fugui probably didn't expect such a show at all, when I stood in the crowd and saw his face turned green.

The lame Li in our village died, and naturally there was no such capable person in terms of yin and yang feng shui, building temples and tombs.

Li Laohan originally planned to go to other villages to find Mr. Yin and Yang, but when he just passed by the big locust tree, he saw a person standing in front of the big locust tree, and the person was looking at the big locust tree, and from time to time he looked at the ancient well.

When the man saw Li Laohan passing by, he stopped him, and then asked Li Laohan a few things, which made Li Laohan's jaw drop on the spot.

A few of the things the man asked were:

First, did this ancient well come up with yellow spring water a few days ago?

Second, after the Yellow Spring Water came out, a young man died at the mouth of the well, and the Yellow Spring Well Water receded.

Third, there was a recent flash flood in the village, burying dozens of nearly 100 houses, but not a single villager died.

When Li Laohan heard this, he was so surprised that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he asked tentatively: "You are not from our village, have you, where did you hear these things?"

The man smiled slightly, did not answer Li Laohan's question, and said to himself: "I have calculated that a once-in-a-century catastrophe is about to occur in this village, and I am afraid that I have to build a temple quickly." ”

Li Laohan began to mumble in his heart: The few things this person asked have happened for several days, and people from other villages may naturally hear about it. But a flash flood broke out in Baofeng Temple, and the matter of repairing the temple didn't spread so quickly, I'm afraid it's a hermit master.

After thinking about it, Li Laohan hurriedly said: "Oh, fellow, may I ask where you are from the master, you have told you everything about our village." ”

The man smiled and said, "I and your village Li Cripple were originally friends in the Dao, and originally I just came to give him pillar incense this time, who knew that there would be such a catastrophe in Baofeng Temple." ”

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Since there is a Mr. Yin and Yang who delivered it to the door, why not ask him for a favor.

Li Laohan hurriedly invited the man to his home, and the family called a representative to introduce this person to everyone, and said that he could help the villagers do the Dharma of the Sanwang Temple.

The person Li Laohan met was none other than the Ninth Master with a strange temperament. Li Laohan met him these things, he told me.

At this time, I felt that Jiu Ye and Liu Ruoxue had really played a big game of chess, and they joined hands to make things seamless.

I remember that when the temple was being repaired, there was a whining echo in the dry well, and many villagers felt terrified and did not dare to come close to see it.

And I remembered the scene of the python that night when it came out of the well, and I had palpitations, so I did not lean to the well, but watched from afar.

After the completion of the Sanwang Temple, the ninth master did the temple opening ceremony, and said to the villagers: "From now on, everyone can come to the temple to burn incense and make wishes, and Baobaofeng Temple is safe." ”

There was a man in the crowd with a black face, looking at all this, and there was a murderous flash in his eyes.

The ninth master returned to my house, looked at Liu Ruoxue and me, and gave me the feeling that he was not as happy and relaxed as usual, but had a sad look on his face.

"Next, just wait and see! Liu Ruoxue, you must be careful during this period. ", the ninth master said with a serious expression.

Liu Ruoxue said with a calm face: "Those who should come will always come, and those who shouldn't come will never come, I will be careful!" ”

Since Liu Ruoxue's dream, Baofeng Temple has been raining drippingly.

Late at night the day after the completion of the Sanwang Temple, a larger flash flood suddenly broke out in the village, and the flood and yellow mud swept down from the back mountain.

That night, more than 100 people died in the village. There are elderly people and children who have died, and many families can be said to be separated.

Those who have no homes can only temporarily live in the remaining families that are not very badly affected.

My house may be in a good location, but it may be the reason for Jiu Ye and Liu Ruoxue, the house is basically not affected by the flash flood. However, because my grandfather was not there, and since I was a child, the people in the village thought that I was an ominous person, and my house was also an ominous place, so no one came to my house for refuge.

Wang Fugui urgently summoned the surviving villagers for a meeting, and I was naturally called over.

He said: "I just said that something might happen to the temple of the mountain king, how about it!" I don't think it's a goddess who gives you a dream at all, but a demon girl who wants the lives of our whole village. ”

"She asked you to build that mountain king temple in her dream, and she felt very evil. I'm afraid you didn't hear it, but on the day the temple was built, there was a strange sound in the well. ”

Most of the villagers have little ability to think, listening to Wang Fugui say this, after thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense, especially those who have lost their children and parents, they are so angry that they have no ability to distinguish, but they can't tell the reason behind this at all.

"Then what now, Village Chief Wang?"

"What else can we do, tear down that temple!"

Speaking of this, Wang Fugui suddenly changed his words and said: "Since I heard about the goddess's dream, I have specially found a person who has attained the Tao from outside. He'll be here soon and should be able to help see what's going on in our village. However, he asked the whole village to suppress this matter first and not spread it, otherwise the official family would find out about it, and it would be difficult for him to handle it. ”

Although I know the ins and outs of this whole thing, the current situation should be that something is wrong with Liu Ruoxue and Jiu Ye. What I have to do now is to see what Wang Fugui will do with the villagers next.

I remember that on the night of the flash flood, the ninth master came to my house, and he said with a little ugly face: "The thing I was most worried about the ninth master still happened. Hey! Where did Liu Ruoxue go? ”

Before the flash flood, Liu Ruoxue left my house and has not returned.

Seeing that the Ninth Master asked about Liu Ruoxue, I also wondered: "I don't know, Ninth Master, I thought he was with you." ”

The ninth master's expression changed greatly, pinched his fingers and calculated, and secretly shouted: "It's over!" I'm afraid she's more than lucky this time. ”

I didn't know what was going on, and I was about to ask the ninth master, what happened to Liu Ruoxue. However, before I could speak, the Ninth Master rushed out of the door and disappeared.

After the ninth master left, he didn't come to my house again that night, and Liu Ruoxue didn't return all night.

At dawn, I was about to go out to see if the Sanwang Temple had been damaged by the villagers, but I ran back with Liu Ruoxue covered in injuries, and she looked very embarrassed.

Not far from my house, there was an angry roar from the villagers.

Seeing this, I quickly stopped her and carried her into the house.

"Thirteen, you run! I probably won't be able to protect you! Liu Ruoxue pushed me and said nervously.

Her clothes and trousers, which I bought for her, had been cut off in several places, and one of her legs was the most badly wounded, blood flowed and her shoes were stained red.

Liu Ruoxue's appearance made my eyes red, and I was very angry in my heart.

"Ruoxue, who the hell hurt you so badly!"

Liu Ruoxue pushed me to the door with difficulty, with tears in her eyes, and said very resolutely: "Thirteen, you don't care, run quickly, run as far as possible!" ”
