Chapter 273: The Gentleman on the Beam
The old monk walked to the door of the ancestral hall, and in the light, it was empty and there was no one, and the people who came had already left. The old monk flashed a flashlight, and a bright spot of light appeared, sweeping on the ground.
At this moment, someone exclaimed: "Master, there is something at the threshold." ”
The flashlight fell, and everyone saw that there was a blue-green snake lying on the threshold, about the length of a chopstick, very thin, estimated to be the thickness of the index finger.
It's hard to see something so small, but its color is so dazzling, and the dark green in the light doesn't seem to have such a green creature in nature.
Everyone leaned up, and the kind-eyed old monk shouted violently, "Go back!" Don't die! ”
We were so frightened that we returned to our original positions, and Xiong Dahai stared at the green snake with the pocket of his military coat in his arms, as if he was thinking. I leaned over and whispered, "Brother Xiong, what do you think is going on?" ”
"I guess the Lai family has offended someone," Xiong Dahai said: "This matter has nothing to do with us, I don't know how deep the water is, let's see." ”
The other three old monks put down their magic weapons and walked over together, discussing in a low voice.
The Lai family didn't know what to do, the anxious mood spread in the ancestral hall, there was a cold wind blowing in from outside the door, and the whole room was as cold as an ice cellar, some half-grown children and elderly people were shivering from the cold, chasing Uncle Lai and asking, can it be over.
An old monk returned to the table and picked up the bowl, quickly returned to the door, and slowly came to the threshold, and the other three old monks whispered, Senior brother, be careful.
The old monk nodded, shook off the wide sleeves of his robe, and stretched out his hand from it, and we realized that this high monk wanted to catch the green snake alive with his bare hands.
Everyone watched with bated breath, the old monk stood in front of the threshold, muttered and did not move, the cold moonlight shone on his body, and suddenly he suddenly made a sudden move, grabbing the green snake out of thin air! This moment was really lightning, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and then the old monk stuffed the green snake into the bowl with great speed and covered it with a lid.
The other three old monks came over, quickly pasted the charm, and wrapped a few layers of red paper.
The old monk slowly came to the table with a bowl and placed it on it. The other three monks followed with heavy steps.
The old monk turned around and called Uncle Lai, and whispered a few words, Uncle Lai hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone go back, the Dharma is over, hurry back to sleep, don't run around tonight, you are at home and don't let me go out." ”
There were more than 30 people present, the mother was looking for her son, and the son was looking for his father, and they all left.
Lai Ying and Lin Yao came over to beckon me and Xiong Dahai to go back to rest, and we were about to leave when we saw Xiong Dahai leaning against the black pillar, holding a cigarette in his mouth, wiping a lighter and lighting a cigarette.
Lin Crow was angry, unable to speak loudly, and scolded in a low voice: "Hurry up, what kind of cigarette is you going to smoke here, is it so addicted to smoking?" ”
Xiong Dahai raised his chin and said lightly to the old monks, look.
We looked over, the old monk who had just grabbed the green snake with his bare hands, at this time his body was crooked, and the old monks hurriedly held on to him and shouted in a low voice: "Senior brother! ”
The old monk sat cross-legged on the futon, his face as white as paper, and said, "I was bitten by a snake, clean up this place and go back to the inner house." ”
Uncle Lai was so anxious, "There is a car outside, I will send the master to the hospital immediately." This snake looks venomous, and needs to be pricked with serum. ”
The old monk tried to regulate his breathing and waved his hand: "It's useless, don't go to the hospital, help me back to the room." ”
A few old monks didn't have to be taken care of by the Lai family, and walked to the back by helping the injured senior brother. Uncle Lai saw the bowl wrapped in red paper on the table, and there was a snake in it, so he quickly asked what to do.
The old monk, who was born with an evil appearance, frowned: "This thing will be put here first tonight, and we won't have time to deal with it." You keep all the doors and windows of the ancestral hall closed, and no one can let them in, and tomorrow we will see the situation of the senior brother, and we will take this thing back to the mountain. ”
Uncle Lai agreed, began to clear the scene, and came to us to apologize, but in fact, he issued an eviction order and told us to leave quickly.
The four of us came out of the ancestral hall, and Lin Ya took Lai Ying's arm and asked, "Who did your family really offend?"
Lai Ying had a headache: "Our Lai family used to pack the river, and we did transportation on the river, and the elders opened up the territory, and there will definitely be all kinds of disputes and grievances. ”
Lin Yao said: "I heard that a long time ago there was also the Jinsha River here, many people in the river to pan for Jinsha, dead people are a common thing, thrown into the river, unaware." ”
Lai Ying didn't want to continue the topic, so she diverted and said, "What about your bowstring, the ancestral hall is locked tonight, and you can only wait for tomorrow." ”
"Can't wait for tomorrow." Xiong Dahai smoked a cigarette and exhaled the smoke: "Late will change." I always have a very bad feeling that I have to take it out tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. ”
"What do you want to do?" Lai Ying asked.
Xiong Dahai looked back at me: "Lin Cong, this matter of the bowstring is for you, what do you say?" ”
"Listen to Brother Xiong," I said calmly, "Otherwise, I'll have a night robbery at the ancestral hall tonight." ”
Xiong Dahai smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "I know two pretty good little brothers in this competition, one is you and the other is Shaoyang. Go back and wait for an opportunity to call Shao Yang out, let's talk about it. In this way, I'll accompany you at midnight tonight, and we'll be gentlemen on the beam for once. ”
Lai Ying bit her lower lip and said for a long time: "You toss lightly, now is the eventful season of the Lai family, don't make extraneous branches." ”
Xiong Dahai smiled and said don't worry.
Lai's family is really good, and arranged a big tiled house for us, with two suites inside and outside, inside is Lin Yao and Lai Ying, and outside is me and Xiong Dahai. Xiong Dahai's military coat was like growing on his body, and he didn't take it off at any time, and at this time he was half-lying on the kang with one hand under his head, staring at the ceiling, and smoking silently.
I lay in the kang without sleep, the room did not draw the curtains, and the moonlight outside came in through the window, and there was an indescribable artistic conception.
"Sleep, I'll call you at midnight." Xiong Dahai said with a cigarette ash.
"Can't sleep." I was indeed very tired and sleepy, but I just couldn't sleep, "Brother Xiong, what do you say is the matter with the green snake, is it poisonous?" ”
"It must be poisonous," said Xiong Dahai, "and things with bright colors must be highly poisonous, and like women, this is the iron law of nature." ”
"Well, the old monk......" I said worriedly.
Xiong Dahai said: "Brother, you really read the Three Kingdoms to worry about the ancients, the old monk is profound, and he is doing the work of excess, there must be supernatural powers that we can't imagine, and he can't die for a while." He paused: "But it is inevitable to suffer, after all, the age is here, not a young man." ”
"Who is this person here, and the Lai family probably has a deep hatred, once the green snake bites the Lai family, and there is no old monk's magical powers, then there must be death and no life." I sighed.
Xiong Dahai spat out a puff of smoke rings into the air: "I'm thinking about another thing, it's a strange thing, a little inexplicable. ”
I asked what it was.
"Did the uninvited guest who sent the green snake know that there were high-ranking monks at that time?" Xiong Dahai asked.
I pondered it carefully and said, "I should know, that person and the monk have had a few conversations, and he seems to be calm, so he should have been mentally prepared." ”
"Since he knows that the monk is here, why does he send the green snake over, even if he wants to take revenge, he should pick a better opportunity." Xiong Dahai said.
I was momentarily speechless, this was indeed a problem, and I really didn't think of it.
Xiong Dahai said: "There must be reasons here that we can't think of. He yawned: "Forget it, it's useless to think so much." I stared at it for a while, and since you can't sleep, watch it for me. ”
He really did it, he said he would sleep, snuff out the cigarette butt, and he got up after ten seconds of snoring.
The moonlight shone on Xiong Dahai's body, and he didn't sleep under the quilt, but wrapped in this military coat, and he actually slept on the warm kang with the feeling of spending the night at the train station. I wondered, it's okay to say in winter, but in the summer he can't take off his military coat?
I looked at my watch, and there was still more than an hour before midnight, so I simply didn't sleep, half-sat up and swiped my phone.
I don't know when, I fell asleep, I slept very lightly, and a lot of bizarre pictures appeared in the cerebral cortex, and I couldn't remember it, and at this moment someone pushed me.
I rubbed my eyes to look, Xiong Dahai said under the kang: "Brother, it's unreliable, didn't you call me, see you sleep like this." ”
I felt a splitting headache, and when I looked at my watch, it was just after 12 o'clock in the morning, and I remembered last night's ritual, and it was as unreal as a dream.
I got out of bed, got dressed, and followed Xiong Dahai out. It was so cold outside, the little wind was blowing, mixed with the cold light rain, and my mouth was full of bitterness. But after all, this is for myself, and stealing the bowstring is also to save my mother, and I have to admit it when I catch up.
Xiong Dahai and I went out from the side gate and followed the path all the way to the ancestral hall. The doors of the front and back courtyards and patios of the ancestral hall were all locked, and there was a dead silence in the past, and there was no sound in the moonlight.
Xiong Dahai found a wall against a tree, he held the tree with both hands, kicked his feet, climbed to the tree, and then jumped to the wall, his body was extremely agile, and the military coat was like nothing on his body.
