Chapter 274: The Night Comes
I got lucky, and I followed the example of the bear, and climbed up the big tree, and came to a high place, where the branches were not far from the roof. Xiong Haihai beckoned to me, and I jumped over, and he caught it firmly in the air.
The two of us stepped on the eaves and quickly shuttled through the roof, and after a short time came to the patio, Xiong Dahai found a relatively low place, jumped down, and beckoned me to go down too.
I made a comparison, and at least there was a look of more than two meters or three meters, and I looked a little dizzy. But we are big men, it's not easy to retreat, so we gritted our teeth and jumped down. Xiong Dahai did have kung fu, firmly grasped me, came to a buffer, and slowly landed.
"Brother Xiong, your kung fu is really good." I was amazed from the bottom of my heart.
"Hey, don't you have any self-defense skills when walking the rivers and lakes, otherwise you can still mix up to now?" Xiong Dahai laughed, and the cat bent his waist in the direction of the ancestral hall, and I followed closely behind.
Before coming to the ancestral hall, the two gates had been locked, and the copper ring was clasped with a big lock. Gently push the door, but can push open a gap, no matter how big it is, it can't be opened, look in along the crack, there is no light inside.
Xiong Dahai whispered trouble, and walked to the window to check every window. The ancestral hall may not be usually crowded, the windows have long been in disrepair, the window shafts are almost rusted, and there is no need to lock them at all. Xiong Dahai pushed it with all his strength, and the window was opened with great difficulty, barely enough for an adult to enter, no matter how big it was, it was impossible.
He folded the hem of his coat and jumped to the edge of the window, which was so big that he squeezed into the window together. I was dumbfounded, this old guy was not only very good, but also very good in this dress, as if he was shrinking his bones, rubbing and rubbing through the window.
He went in, and I went to the window, which was just right for me, and I climbed in without much effort.
Xiong Dahai closed the window.
It was too dark in the ancestral hall, I couldn't see my fingers, and it was difficult for the moonlight from the closed doors and windows to penetrate in, so I reached into my inner pocket and took out a flashlight, and was about to turn it on, when he held it down: "Crazy?" What kind of flashlight. ”
"There's no one around, I'm afraid of something." I say.
Xiong Dahai shook his head and said solemnly: "I'm feeling very bad now, let's take one step at a time and be careful." ”
He crouched on the ground and pulled out a burning candle from the hem of his coat, and I was a little surprised, it was nothing, but when he took it out, the candle was already lit, as if by magic.
I whispered, "Brother Xiong, your clothes are like a treasure chest." ”
Xiong Dahai smiled, and walked in front with a candle in one hand, and I followed behind. When I passed by the table, I saw that the old monk's bowl for catching green snakes was still there, and there were poisonous snakes in it, so it was better to stay away.
According to Lai Ying, the bowstring was hidden on the black pillar with the couplet hanging at the back, and we quickly found it, and when we looked up, the beams on the pillar were more than three meters high. And this pillar is too old, and the outside is covered in paint, and it is simply slippery.
It is estimated that only the snitches and flower thieves in ancient legends have the strength to climb up this pillar.
Xiong Dahai didn't have such a high level of kung fu, he held a candle and looked at his surroundings through the faint flames. I said, "Brother Xiong, there is only one way now. ”
"What?"
I pointed to the table in front of me, and gently lip-stomed, "Step on this." ”
Xiong Dahai glanced at me, this sacred table is dedicated to the tablet of the Lai family, and now the tablet is all gone, only some offerings and the statue of Jizo Bodhisattva. The god table is like a staircase and gradually rises, and the highest point is almost to the ceiling, so you can really go up to the beam.
"Stepping on this, aren't you afraid of offending the Jizo Bodhisattva?" Xiong Dahai said coldly.
"Hey, there's a right to do things," I said, "and it's not sincere, it's a convenience." ”
Xiong Dahai originally had a stiff face, but suddenly smiled and pointed at me: "You kid, you really have a bit of a temper with me." ”
He held a candle in one hand and held the table in the other. The lowest level of the divine table can be more than a meter high from the ground, and his body is extremely explosive, and he can easily jump up.
I don't have the ability to do this, so I can only climb up little by little. The divine table was full of offerings, and Xiong Dahai was still very careful, avoiding those things, stepping on the second floor and climbing higher.
We climbed all the way to the top, and found that there was still some distance from the beam, and it was inconvenient for Xiong Dahai to hold a candle in his hand, so he thought about it: "Xiaolin, how are you guts?" ”
I don't know what he's going to do, it's weird, I didn't dare to say yes, I hesitated and said okay.
Xiong Dahai said: "We are still close to going up now, there is only one way." He shone a candle on the nearby Jizo Bodhisattva: "Step on him and go up." ”
"What......" A cold sweat broke out on my head, Xiong Dahai is really deviant, bold enough. The statue of Jizo Bodhisattva is indeed a dead thing, but when you step on it like this, ordinary people really don't have the guts.
"If you don't dare, I'll go up by myself." Xiong Dahai said lightly, exuding a disappointed tone.
"No, no, I dare, I'm afraid that the Bodhisattva won't want to." I say.
Xiong Dahai turned to a smile: "I don't want him to come to me." ”
As he spoke, he came to Jizo Bodhisattva and whispered, "Little monk, I'm sorry. Then he stepped on it with one foot, first on the Bodhisattva's arm, then on the shoulder, and then on the shoulder, and at this time he could already reach the beam, but he had some bottom line, and he didn't step on the head of the Jizo Bodhisattva. I secretly wiped my sweat.
Xiong Dahai jumped up and climbed up. I took a deep breath and had no choice but to follow behind, silently thinking in my heart, the Bodhisattva is strange, and it is a last resort, don't be surprised.
In this way, I also stepped on the shoulders of the Bodhisattva and climbed to the beam. The ancestral hall is worthy of being an old building, with a mortise and tenon structure, and the beams are extremely strong, and Xiong Dahai stomped his feet on it without trembling.
We were in the dark, he was holding a small flame to look around, and in the dim light of the fire, I saw a box at the junction of a beam, wrapped in red cloth on the outside, and it should be the bowstring box described by the crow and Lai Ying.
Xiong Dahai squatted on the beam and said, you go over and get it, and I will give you the light.
My mouth was bitter, Xiong Dahai, the eldest brother, looked very enthusiastic and helped me everywhere, but when it came to the critical moment, he let me take action, and he didn't touch it at all.
I had to crouch on the beam, rubbing it there carefully, my hands on the roof, my feet moving slightly.
Xiong Dahai was not in a hurry, he simply rode on the beam, holding a candle to illuminate me.
I said as I moved: "I suddenly remembered one thing, this thing was hidden by Lai Ying, how did this little woman climb up at that time?" ”
"There must be a ladder," Xiong Dahai smiled: "Do you think she is as cold as the two of us, stepping on the god table, and the ancestors of their Lai family are on it." ”
Speaking of this, I remembered one thing, "Brother Xiong, what should we do once these ancestors' bardo bodies are still in the ancestral hall, seeing us like this, they can't get angry?" ”
"Don't worry." Xiong Dahai said: "I'm also looking for me when I'm angry, I'm covering you, and everything comes at me, okay?" ”
I feel guilty in my heart, people still care who you are, what are you doing. I said so in my heart, and I still said, "You are really my good big brother." ”
"It's hypocritical," Xiong Dahai said with a smile, "Are you not convinced in your heart?" ”
I said how dare I, step by step to the handover place, and when I saw the box wrapped in red cloth, I felt a lot more settled. Just as he was about to reach out to get it, Xiong Dahai behind him suddenly said, "Don't move!" Don't make a sound, someone's coming. ”
He blew out the candle in one gulp, and suddenly it was pitch black, and there was no light left.
I secretly complained, this unlucky urge, who came at this time. Just as I was thinking, I heard a "squeak" from the window, and I looked down to see a shadow coming in through the window.
That window is the one we just came in, okay, dare to love this gentleman on the beam is not only us.
There was more than one person who came in, it was two people, it was difficult to climb the window, the upper body was advanced, and then rubbed a little bit, and the two legs were dragged in again, and the figure looked bloated.
The two helped each other into the ancestral hall, not in a hurry to do anything, but squatted under the base of the wall and gasped.
After a while, someone said: "Master, do you want to use a flashlight?" ”
When I heard this voice, it was quite familiar, it was a woman's voice, and it seemed to be someone from the Lai family.
The other was a man and said, "Fuck, it's all bullshit!" If you don't use a flashlight, you sue me how to find it. He scolded the woman.
I struck a stir on the beam, and immediately reacted and knew who it was. Listening to the voice, it seems to be Second Uncle Lai and his wife Second Aunt Lai.
Sure enough, there was a light underneath, illuminating the figures of the two people.
I crouched down on the beam and looked down, it was really the two of them. It's strange, what are the two of them doing here in the middle of the night?
After all, Aunt Lai is a woman, and she was a little scared, so she trembled and said, "In charge, I think it's better to forget it." ”
"Forget it?" Second Uncle Lai was impatient: "The old lady is really long-haired and short-sighted, don't talk nonsense, come here, take things and leave." ”
The two slowly came to the table one after the other, and Aunt Lai used a flashlight to illuminate the wrapped bowl and said, "The master, here!" ”
Second Uncle Lai spewed out a breath of air from his nose and eyes, "I'm not blind, of course I saw it, bring the cage over." ”
