Chapter 25: The Lotus Pot (3)
I moved a stool and said, "Come, big sister, sit, and I'll have a good chat with my brother." What the hell is going on with this Niangniang Temple? ”
It is said that the big sister in the Northeast is bold, but our Central Plains is not bad, she directly picked up a glass of wine and said: "This brother, I still have to be busy, so I won't sit, I should make amends for this glass of wine, you have to say this Niangniang Temple, it was definitely not called Niangniang Temple at the beginning, it was called Guandi Temple, and it was dedicated to Master Guan, and this temple has not been good for incense since ancient times, and it is said that it is because the gods in it are not effective at all, so after this broken four old times were smashed, it was abandoned for a long time. Later, some old people in the village said that the temple could not be deserted, so they made do with it, and at the beginning, there was not even a statue of a god, where did the money come from without incense? Later, a few outsiders came, I don't know why, you say strange is not strange, those few outsiders seem to have a style, they came to find the old man Song in the village, and what relatives do they recognize, and then later, these outsiders built this Niangniang Temple, at that time, those people in the village regarded these outsiders as wronged, and thought that these outsiders repaired the temple as an investment. The incense money in the future will be considered a return. Everyone is still laughing at these outsiders The money must be wasted, who knows that those outsiders built this Niangniang Temple on the original Guandi Temple, which worshiped a Niangniang who couldn't say the name, it used to be Guan Erye, and now the gods are not spiritual, and the name is not known, so the incense of this Niangniang Temple is even worse to grandma's house, so take in beggars and the like, these years are good. No one went to live with the beggars, and as for the few outsiders, they left after repairing the temple and never returned. So you ask me who is enshrined in this Niangniang Temple. How do I know? It is estimated that no one knows about the whole lotus pot. ”
We chatted with this big girl a few more times, and I could probably know a vague line. If my guess is correct, it was Li Jianfeng's people who came to the lotus pot to find Song Xiaoguang, but what I don't understand is that they came here to find Song Xiaoguang, so why build a temple here? I looked at the fat man and Lin Baqian, and they couldn't seem to give me an answer either. What is the truth of the matter, it seems that you still need to find this Song Xiaoguang.
After eating, we each went back to the room to rest, and after a while, the guy found me, this young man is very eye-catching, and he doesn't need me to explain at all, when the future is immeasurable, he said to me: "Brother San, I inquired well, it is a person from the Liu family in Luoyang, I asked the brothers of the Liu family in Luoyang to inquire about it, and the people over there said that the Liu family came to the lotus pot this time, and it was entrusted by a very famous person in Beijing, and he came to buy the stone under the lotus pot village, what kind of stone is it." , I don't know yet. It seems to be some kind of statue. ”
I patted the guy on the shoulder and asked, "What's your name, young man?" "--I have to say, I really appreciate this guy, it's really clever.
"Brother Sanliang, my name is Xu Lei, you can call me Leizi." He said.
I nodded and said, "Young man, do a good job, you go back first, have a good rest, you will enter the village tomorrow, it is best to find out the more specific news of the person who is looking for this Liu family." ”
Leizi left after saying goodbye, and I found the fat man, and told him the problem that Leizi found, the people in Beijing came to the Liu family, in fact, this famous person in Beijing should be able to guess who it is, that is Zhuge Qingfeng, he listened to my conversation with Li Dangguo, I was delayed because of Lin Baqian's matter, so his people came faster than us.
"Don't be too panicked, I asked Lin Baqian, what he meant to me was that it was best to avoid dealing with Zhuge Qingfeng, and no one should offend anyone, of course, it was not because of Zhuge Qingfeng's special background that he didn't dare to offend him, but to say, there are some things, we have more than one thing, and it is better to involve less at the political level." The fat man said.
I nodded, noncommittal to the fat man's words, or rather, my attitude is basically the same, such as what the fat man told me about the Bashu Dragon Land, I guess I will be immediately crushed if I am really involved.
--After resting for the night, the next day, we entered the village, this lotus pot is also really lively, several so-called big households, because of a few stones, is also a big fight, the country side of the matter, a fight is clan-style, the police are not easy to use. No, I did it early in the morning.
There is a stone in it, it is not a statue at all, it is a simple stone, it is placed on the road edge, I don't know how many years it has been in the wind and rain, everyone does not know what it is, and the only use may be to sit in the shade occasionally when the people in the village take a dip.
As a result, someone is coming to collect it now, and at the beginning it was said to give 10,000, and now the countrymen are also monkey spirits, and a broken stone is given to 10,000? In other words, we understand that it must be sold immediately, and this must be sold, but the family who just started to have "ownership" of this stone is too smart, and this broken stone is given 10,000, and this thing is definitely not as simple as a stone. Everyone understands the truth that strange goods can live. So he didn't sell it, and directly asked for the price: "100,000!" If you want to pull it away, don't talk about it, this stone, but my family has been a good thing for eighteen generations. ”
It was originally a fraud, who knew that these people from the Liu family in Luoyang were really willing to come out, just say 100,000 is 100,000, we can pull the stone away, this family immediately regretted it, fuck you bought it so happily, Lao Tzu must have said less, 500,000! A fixed price, don't come if you make a counteroffer.
Although the people of the Liu family are disgusting, they say, 500,000, no more, we don't want more, this family did not regret this time, said 500,000, take the money to the stone to pull away, this Liu family brought the money, when the stone was pulled, the matter was given.
500,000, that's a huge amount of money, who the fuck isn't red-eyed? The family originally had ownership of this stone, but the so-called ownership is that this stone is close to his house, even if it is his family's thing, but others have been selling it for 500,000 yuan until it is here, and they immediately quit it, saying "fuck, this is my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's thing, why did it become your family's?"
There is more than one family that pops up like this, not to say that my grandfather, or my wife's grandfather, in short, it is my family's things, anyway, there is no proof of death, right? This stone will never answer whose house I belong to, will it?
So it was a stalemate all of a sudden, the Liu family wanted to give more money to take away, these families quit, the more they gave, the more fierce they became, who wants this money to fall into the hands of others? Therefore, it was originally a broken stone, but now, it has become a big baby with a broken head.
When we arrived in the village, the families were still in tension, and we saw the stone on the side of the road, the stone was square, and it was not small, but how to say it, it was just a big stone. It's not worth that much money.
"Fat man, do you see something?" I asked the fat man.
"No, Zhuge Qingfeng, what kind of fame is this?" The fat man was also very puzzled.
"There must be something in the stone, and this stone is not a treasure." Lin Baqian said. Giant Bean Collaboration.
A few of us looked at the noise over there like bystanders, but this was not our purpose, I pulled an aunt who looked kind next to me and asked, "Auntie, how to go to Song Yaguang's house?" ”
"You look for Song Yaguang, turn left and go straight. The only earthen house I saw was Old Man Song's house. Auntie showed the way.
I said thank you, and then the four of them walked towards Song Yaguang's house, and I was about to meet Song Xiaoguang, who dared to hug the goblin on the kang, and I was still a little inexplicably excited. We didn't take two steps before we heard the aunt behind us say, "This Song Xiaoguang has a lot of relatives, why do the people who come to him look quite rich?" ”
Following the path pointed out by my aunt, we found a mud house, which may have been the house of the founding of the People's Republic of China, before the tiled house, there was still thatch on the roof, a fence was set up in the yard, there were chickens and ducks in it, and an old big black dog with shedding.
