Chapter 12 Five Blessings
After I sent two more messages to Brother Chao to make sure that this thing would not pay attention to me anymore, I had to wash up and sleep, and I couldn't sleep all night without saying anything.
When I woke up the next day, I kept an eye on myself and didn't go out as early as I did yesterday, so as not to choke back again.
I went downstairs to eat at eight o'clock, and as soon as I got out of the door of the unit, I was startled, oh, why are there so many people?
There were hundreds of people standing in the courtyard of the community, all looking in the same direction, and I followed the gaze of these people, and a large truck was parked in the middle of the community on the road that split the community in half.
I walked in and saw that the property boss was directing Ah San, Ah Si and some other people to move some things down from the truck.
One... Two...
are five giant dolls.
These five dolls are all costumes, the color is mainly red, they all look like they are one meter five or six high, and the body shape is round, and the overall shape looks a bit like a big oil barrel, but the diameter is definitely wider than the common big oil barrel.
Although this kind of proportional puppet looks quite cute, I don't know if it's because it's too big, it always feels weird.
The shapes of these five dolls are all different, some are bareheaded, and some are wearing the kind of hats worn by officials in ancient times, a bit of the style of the Tang and Song dynasties, with a long horizontal "hat wing" on the back of the head. These five puppets are also holding different things in their hands, some are longevity peaches, some are ingots, and some are big fish.
At first glance, it is actually a bit similar to some myths and legends in some New Year's paintings, such as the birthday star God of Wealth and the like.
Seeing that Lao Gu commanded everyone to put these five puppets on the lawn of the garden in turn, it was obvious that he wanted to treat these five puppets as decorations for the community.
I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, because the five figures were not new, they were all broken, and the worst of them even had half a broken wing, only one side was still standing lonely, and the other side was hanging from a thin steel bar with a hat, looking crumbling.
I was a little stunned to see the dolls that seemed to be picked up from the recycling station in a neat row, and then looked at the lively neighbors around me, but everyone didn't seem to think it was strange, and they all smiled and liked it very much.
The more I looked, the more confused I became, and I casually said, "What's this?" ”
I'm talking to myself, it's purely subconscious. Unexpectedly, a fat sister next to her who was holding a fat and beautiful girl replied casually: "You don't know this?" Alas, today's young people really don't know how to cherish traditions, which is the Five Blessings. ”
I said, "Five Blessings? Welcome to Beijing? The eldest sister said: "It's not the five blessings, this is the traditional version, which are the five great gods of blessing, lu, longevity, happiness, wealth, and so on." ”
After the eldest sister finished speaking, an uncle beside her continued: "Yes, the best five blessings, whoever can occupy one of them in his life is blessed enough, but unfortunately you young people don't understand..."
I said, "It's not that I don't understand, but are these a little broken?" Our community is so new, put so many broken Wufu... Does this look good? ”
The uncle shook his head and said, "Alas, you don't understand and you don't want to admit it, these five blessings can't be changed, absolutely can't be changed." ”
I didn't understand what the uncle was saying, I shrugged my shoulders and stopped talking, and watched the old man busy with them.
After a while, the five dolls were finally completely arranged, in addition to the five dolls, the truck also unloaded some one-to-one size plastic flowers, the largest is a peach tree, the workmanship is very good, if it were not for the trunk reflecting the unique light of plastic, I would have thought it was real.
It's just that these flowers can also be seen to be not new, and they are more or less stained with some dust.
After removing it, Lao Gu commanded everyone to place the fake flowers around the puppet, and placed them very carefully, as if they were accurate to centimeters.
After everything was finally laid out, Lao Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked the onlookers loudly, "How is it?" Looks good, right? ”
The onlookers applauded in unison, praising Lao Gu one after another.
At this moment, I was a little stunned, because the joy on the faces of these people was not faked, as if these five Fuwa had a great meaning to them, and this meaning was only known to them.
At least, I can't understand it, and I can't reach it.
At this moment, for the first time, I clearly felt that I was an outsider in this community.
During breakfast, I casually sent a WeChat message to Brother Chao, to be honest, I am very curious about his situation now.
In addition to being curious about Zhu Bajie's whereabouts, I am even more curious about Zhu Bajie's mother, I don't think I can guess what kind of demon her old man can do with my imagination.
I finished sending a message to Brother Chao but didn't reply to me, I guess he was busy, until I got home more than an hour later, Brother Chao's message was late, but there was only one representative with a depressed expression, nothing else.
I sent him a laughing emoji as a sign of comfort.
I knew that Brother Chao would be very busy today, and I was no longer a person in the company after all, so I didn't bother Brother Chao anymore, and waited for him to finish his work to satisfy my curiosity.
I was busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and I was directly startled.
Uncle, let Lao Wang toss, I'm about to have a nervous breakdown now about this knock.
This time it shouldn't be Lao Wang, after all, he doesn't know where the person is, I thought while walking to the door and looking at the cat's eye, outside is standing in front of the cat's eye is the property of the old Gu, there are still people around the old Gu, but I can't see who it is.
But since it's old, I can also open the door with confidence.
When the door opened, I was startled, an old Gu, a San, two policemen, and a Zhu Bajie.
I looked at this lineup and asked, "Uncle Gu, this is..." Lao Gu didn't speak, turned his head to look at the policeman next to him, the policeman nodded and saluted me and said, "Hello, you are Zhao Qianqian, right?" ”
Before I could understand what was going on, Zhu Bajie suddenly shouted in his mother's throat: "Yes! It's this little bunny! I know him, comrade policeman, you hurry up and arrest him! Zhao Qianqian, you say! Where did you hide my son?! ”
I grinned at the old lady expressionlessly and said, "Hehe, your old man is still so alive and well, I'm not interested in your son, don't spew blood." ”
"You little bastard..."Zhu Bajie still wanted to spill his mother, but was stopped by another policeman and dragged aside.
The policeman in charge of the interrogation continued to ask me: "Hello, Zhao Qianqian, that's the case, you Mr. Zhu are missing, I don't know if you have heard of it." ”
I nodded and didn't deny it: "Well, I heard from my colleague that I couldn't contact him for two or three days. Former colleagues seem to be preparing for a party to celebrate. ”
The policeman was stunned for a moment and then said: "That's the case, we want to know something about you here, don't think about it, just talk about it briefly, if it's convenient for you, come with us?" ”
Although the words are very polite, the tone is full of 'You dare to resist one?' I hesitated, and suddenly Lao Gu said: "Uncle policeman, where are you going to take Xiao Zhao?" Didn't you just come up and ask two words? ”
I said, "Uncle Gu, it's not appropriate for you to call a police officer uncle at your age, right?" Lao Gu was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that at my age, I still have to be called the police uncle?" ”
The police have a black line on their face, I want to laugh a little, this old man really doesn't take the police seriously.
The policeman coughed lightly and said to Lao Gu: "Oh, it's too informal here, take him back is just to get a brief understanding, and after understanding, we will drive him back." ”
Old Gu's face suddenly became not very good-looking, but it was only for a moment that he returned to his normal state and said, "Oh, you want to look formal?" It's easy to do, Ah San, call Xiao Niu and ask them to come up and cooperate with the police comrades, prepare the lights and sound, and take Xiao Zhao to the office below for questioning. ”
Without waiting for the police to react, Ah San took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, as if he had just put the mobile phone to his ear, Ah San said "hey", and then asked the person on the other side of the phone to come up to me.
When the police remembered to stop it, Ah San had already finished making the call and put the mobile phone in his pocket.
Then Lao Gu handed a cigarette to the police, and after a few words of gossip between the two of them, four 'film policemen' with different uniforms came up.
I've seen the one who took the lead, it was the community policeman who was scolded by Lao Gu when he failed to perform the 'palm breaking screwdriver stunt', and the other three seemed to be his colleagues.
Several internal policemen came up to greet Lao Gu first, respectfully called "Uncle Gu", and then directly asked Uncle Gu what they were asking them to come up for. Lao Gu said that they should cooperate with the work of the police and take me downstairs.
I don't know why, I always feel that Lao Gu is covering me at this time, so that I don't feel like I'm being bullied by the police outside.
I didn't want to be pretentious, so I closed the door and followed them downstairs.
There were a lot of people, but they weren't overweight, but Uncle Gu still asked a policeman to accompany the pig to wait upstairs for the next elevator before going downstairs.
Zhu Bajie puffed up at me and said, "Hmph, you wait, I definitely want you to look good today!" I smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie, for your good wishes, I have been very good-looking all these years." ”
The pig probably didn't expect me to talk back, so I was stunned. That's right, when working in Zhubajie Company, based on the principle of 'being under the eaves and having to bow your head', we never dismissed her face too positively.
After all, the great revolutionary pioneer Marx also taught us: good shoes don't step on stinky shit.
As soon as I walked out of the unit security door downstairs, I was stupid in an instant, there was a police car parked outside the door, and there were three people standing next to the car, one was a police officer, one was a ruffian-looking man I had never seen, and there was another person, Li Xiaomeng.
