One hundred and fifty-eight chapters
Looking at the strange and beautiful scenery in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh, maybe even the centenarians in the village could not guarantee that he could call the names of the mountains around the village, they were like children in the unknown compared to these mountains, if this mountain could speak, then how many interesting stories should he know, how many years of change......
I suddenly thought, "What the hell is on the other side of the mountain?" Will it be a vast plain and a beautiful scenery that you have never thought possible? Or the winding path continues to linger and take you into another big mountain. And so on and forth and again and again and again? "These are all unknowns to me, and the unknown will be accompanied by regrets and surprises, and I can only keep walking and practicing to explore curiosity and find out the truth.
After smoking a cigarette, I wanted to move on, but I didn't expect to run into an accident just a few steps. A bottomless ravine with a width of several meters appeared in front of me, and I stepped aside without even thinking about it, curiosity is always bumpy and difficult, and it is not too late to come back when I am fully prepared in the future.
Xiongzi and Xiaohei had already come to the hospital, and they circled the house a few times, and finally sent my back at the foot of the mountain. Xiongzi stopped, grabbed Xiao Hei, pointed at me with his hand, and the two ran together.
"How's it going, how did you sleep last night?"
I looked at Blackie's panting appearance with some surprise. How did they find this place?
"I'm okay, why are you here?"
"Did you ...... last night?"
Xiao Hei stopped in the middle of speaking, Xiongzi didn't speak at this time, but he was staring at Xiao Hei with a gaze that seemed strange and puzzled to me.
Me: "Huh? Looking at the two of them, Xiao Hei immediately laughed again and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing...... I just came to look for you in the morning and didn't find it."
Xiongzi leaned against the tree next to him and yawned leisurely and finally spoke: "The eldest sister said that you left a long time ago, I guess you must have come here, and sure enough, I still found you."
I was puzzled when I watched the bear suddenly relax, and I thought to myself, I'm not an orphan, why do you want you to come and look for me in the daytime? Is it possible that I am afraid that I will be abducted and sold?
Looking back at the path in front of me, remembering the mountain ravine that appeared inexplicably just now, I asked thoughtfully, "Have you ever been to this mountain?" ”
"No, no, there are too many mountains in the village. The inside of the mountain and the outside of the mountain are full of mountains, we can't finish walking."
I took a cigarette and asked the two of them, "How are you preparing for the exam in a few days?" Is there confidence? ”
"Exams, just participate"
After Xiongzi finished speaking, he suddenly smiled, and Xiao Hei and I both looked at him in disbelief. This is really weird, it would be normal to say that this is from Wang Qiu's mouth, but today it is very strange to hear him say such important words from Xiongzi's mouth with his own ears.
"How...... What do you want me to do? I'm going to liven up the atmosphere."
Xiongzi couldn't stand this kind of staring at the two of us, so he lowered his head and simply didn't face it, and lit a cigarette and smoked again.
"By the way, why didn't Wang Qiu go with you, why did he go?"
Xiongzi took a sharp breath and looked at me and replied, "We don't know, he is not at home, he doesn't know where to eat and wait for death"
"I'll wait for your mother!"
As soon as Xiong Zi finished speaking, he heard this guy's familiar voice coming over, and he could hear the surging in Wang Qiu's heart from afar, this guy should be in a good mood, and the obscene smile was still on his face, and he waved his hand to us and ran over.
"How many brothers are here? Brother Hei, hurry up and smoke a cigarette," Wang Qiuren had already stretched out his hand before he arrived.
"You're smacking! Is the borrowed money repaid? ”
I gave Wang Qiu a slap directly, and this guy grabbed the cigarette with a quick eye.
Wang Qiu hurriedly clicked on it, took a sharp breath, and said with a confused expression: "I'm not like you, I'm more anxious to repay the money than to borrow money!" You said that you are a big man, and it doesn't cost you a penny to date someone else, are you embarrassed? ”
"I ......"
I was speechless by Wang Qiu, he was right, I really didn't spend a penny that day, and I accompanied Gui Lun to eat a free meal.
"See? I stepped on the shit and just picked it up at the door today! Envy, right? ”
Wang Qiu took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and Zou Baba rolled them together and held them in front of us.
"You kid ate shit," Xiong Zi glanced over, and said disapprovingly with the ticket in Wang Qiu's hand.
"I'm just jealous, you're not happy to pick up money? It's not your share to buy things later! ”
After Wang Qiu finished speaking fiercely, he glanced at the banknote twice with a smile, carefully folded it, and then kicked it into his trouser pocket.
Xiao Hei saw that Wang Qiu took out the money to show off his face, and his face gradually changed, he hesitated again and again and chose to ask: "You have the money...... Where did you pick them up? ”
"Huh? How? Brother Hei, you still don't have this little money, and you want to try your luck? I didn't expect it to be Xiao Hei's interest in this spare money, so Wang Qiu hurriedly walked over with a curious face.
"It's unlucky to pick up money near the health center. Tell me about it......"
Wang Qiu looked at Xiao Hei's serious appearance and suddenly became a little uneasy, he didn't know what kind of medicine Xiao Hei was selling in this gourd, why there was always something strange in his eyes, thinking about it, Wang Qiu still honestly explained the process of picking up the money just now.
Angry or not? ”
The triumphant expression began to resurface, and he took out the money again and counted it to us.
Xiao Hei took a puff of cigarette and reminded Wang Qiu unhurriedly: "You better put this money back, I saw it when I passed by just now."
"Bah, hindsight, I'll put it back and you two can get it, right? No way! ”
Xiong Zi followed and snorted, Wang Qiu didn't want to look at him more, turned his head and walked to the side, farther away from Wang Qiu.
Why don't you take the money when you see it? I asked Xiao Hei: "Brother Hei, why don't you take it when you see it, is there something wrong?" ”
Xiao Hei smiled, stepped on the cigarette butt and said to me: "Actually, I also heard what others said, I don't know if it's like this, but I thought about it carefully just now, and I think it's better to believe it than to believe it."
"Why do you hear everything? Can you come up with some scientific evidence? Wang Qiu disdained, grabbed a cigarette from Xiao Hei and ran to Xiongzi's side and began to swallow clouds and spit.
"Isn't it okay for people to be well-informed and have many friends? If you don't believe it, pull it down, so as not to waste other people's tongues" Xiongzi glanced at Wang Qiu again, and turned around and came to the two of us.
"Oh...... Then tell me, if I believe it, I'll put it back today, and if you make it up, I'll buy cigarettes later, and I won't give you cigarettes."
"Brother Hei, you just tell him about the heart that made him die, and we just happen to increase our knowledge."
Seeing that I also asked with anticipation on my face, Xiao Hei nodded and continued: "There should be a lot of money outside this health center, if you go around the neighborhood now and take a closer look, you should still be able to find some, and it is no problem to accumulate a small amount and eat a meal."
"Don't look at me...... I can afford to eat, I don't need this little money to fill my stomach, so let's get to the point! Xiao Hei looked at Wang Qiu with a smile and made him feel a little weak in his heart, and he always felt that he was really a little unstable after taking this money.
"This money, most of it is based on the spare money that Wang Qiu picked up today, the amount must not be too big, but money is money after all, why would someone hang it on a tree for some reason? In fact, this is simply a feudal superstition. I've heard others say that this practice seems to be called "buying a life". In other words, it's just buying your time. The person who hangs the money will generally write the time on the rope, some for a few minutes, some for several hours, and even a few months, which can be distinguished according to the amount of money and the amount of money. They hung the money on the tree and wrote the corresponding time, which was considered to be the completion of the step of buying their lives. The rest is left to the passers-by who are destined to choose. If you take his money, then the two of you have reached an agreement, and your life span will be subtracted according to the corresponding time above, and the person who hangs the money will naturally feel that his life span will also be added accordingly. In short, if you take this money, you agree to sell them what little time you live. And these people think that they don't want to be treated because they have bought time, maybe they are sick, and they are busy leaving the hospital early to fulfill their unfulfilled wishes. It's as simple as that, it's not as complicated as you think."
After listening to Xiao Hei's tirade, Wang Qiu still clenched the spare money in his hand and didn't believe it: "There is still such a statement?" That's too fake, right? A few dollars can buy the time of a living person? You lie to you! ”
Xiao Hei seemed to have expected Wang Qiu to say this, he waved his hand and looked at Wang Qiu disapprehantly: "I also know this sounds like nonsense, but haven't you noticed?" There are so many people coming and going in this health center, even you can find the money that the children who play here every day can easily find it, so why don't you even take it? ”
"There are also people in the village who are not afraid to take the money, but they are generally villagers and beggars who are desperate to eat, compared to them, do you think it is worth it or not if you take the money?"
Under Xiao Hei's repeated explanations, Wang Qiu's face became more and more ugly. He looked at the spare money in his hand and fell into thought, looking at this expression, I thought that this guy should not take risks for these few dollars, but I didn't expect that after only a few seconds, he unloaded his hesitation and thought, put on a determined expression, and directly took the money back.
"Lao Tzu cares about him so much! I don't believe that these few dollars can buy me my life? It's ridiculous!! Next time, if I see this money again, I will specifically ask the beggar children to get it and then divide it equally with them, I think who does this Lord Yama want!! ”
