9. Explore the mountain temple at night

Zhang Zhen looked at the mark on Zhang Lei's finger, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly felt that this mark was the mark of the lion leader of the Zhang family's lion dance.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei, who discovered this secret, were naturally overjoyed and excited. The two of them were happy for a moment, and then suddenly calmed down again.

Zhang Zhen said: "What are we happy about, even if we know that this is the mark on our Zhang family lion, what is the use?" Dog pee bubble - empty joy. ”

Zhang Lei's mind turned relatively fast, and he looked at Zhang Zhen, who changed from happy to discouraged. patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to think so about this matter, you see Ang." Although you can't be sure that what you see in your dreams is real. Then the picture we have in our hands now is absolutely true, what we found unintentionally, you say that this is not someone who deliberately played with us. ”

Zhang Zhen didn't understand what Zhang Lei was going to say, and still said with a frustrated face: "And then?"

Zhang Lei also saw Zhang Zhen's loss, so he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Then, we accidentally found a treasure map."

Zhang Lei, who spoke, glanced at Zhang Zhen, who was expressionless, afraid that Zhang Zhen would be cranky, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the treasure map." What if there are some other secrets hidden here? Isn't it exciting to know? ”

Zhang Zhen, who was a little disappointed, was also instantly interested when he heard Zhang Lei say this. Then he raised his head and looked at Zhang Lei and asked him to continue.

Zhang Lei continued: "Since the picture in our hands is real, the mark on our Zhang family lion is real. So do you think we should believe that this matter is related? So what do you think about next? ”

Zhang Zhen looked at the smile on the corner of Zhang Lei's mouth, turned his head, and said, "Let's go to Li Slender Monkey's house to find the snake bag?" ”

When Zhang Lei heard this, he hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about whether Li Ke has a snake bag for the time being, even if there is, do you think you can see it casually?" That's not her chicken, you run to the coop and catch it. ”

Zhang Zhen listened to what Zhang Lei said right, and it was not easy to refute. He asked slowly, "Then what do you say?" ”

Zhang Lei rolled up his sleeves, lowered his head, leaned next to Zhang Zhen's ear and said, "You see that there are marks on our lion's body, do you say there are any marks on the Li family's dragon?" ”

When Zhang Lei said this, Zhang Zhen also felt very reasonable.

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be markings on that dragon. It's not easy for you to see Li Ke's snake bag, but it's not too difficult to go to the temple to watch their dragon dance. Besides, don't you have the ability to remember? Let's go tonight, and when you get to the place, you can take a look at it, and we'll run. All we have to do is prove that our guess is correct. Zhang Lei was like a general, with his hands on his waist and talking about the next plan.

Although Zhang Zhen became interested in this matter, he was still a little reluctant to toss in his heart. Then he asked, "Then what do you say if there is no mark on that dragon?" ”

Zhang Zhen was about to break the casserole and ask to the end, and Zhang Lei was a little impatient. Then he said coldly: "Our god, I am not a blind man who can pinch and calculate." Why do you ask me everything? ”

Zhang Lei complained and mentioned the name of the blind man, which made Zhang Zhen suddenly remember that the marks on the map just now were very similar to the symbols on the yellow paper drawn by the blind man when he was "making trouble".

He thought about using his own abilities to recall, but as soon as he thought of the yellow paper, his memory seemed to be sped up, and those details flashed through his mind quickly. Zhang Zhen tried several times and still did so, but finally had to give up.

However, it also allowed him to find a new breakthrough, at least he knew what he was going to do next.

Zhang Zhen looked at Zhang Lei, who was still angry, and said: "Leizi, just do as you say, tonight we will go to the temple to find the Li family's dragon dance and find out." ”

As soon as Zhang Lei heard that Zhang Zhen agreed with his idea, he immediately smiled. But it's not yet noon, and we'll have to wait a long time until the evening.

Zhang Zhen and his brothers spent the next half an hour planning the night's actions, and then dispersed.

In 1998, the economic level of the rural areas was still very backward. However, Gengzhuang is a big village, and since the commune settled in the village, Gengzhuang has enjoyed the treatment of electricity early. In recent years, the economy has recovered, and electric poles have been planted on the mountain, and the eighteen villages in Yuantou have been generally electrified.

The countrymen were more frugal, and no one had much spare money at that time. Although it is said that the electricity is connected, many people are still reluctant to turn on the lights at night in order to save one piece or two of the electricity bills.

Zhang Zhen's family is different, although Zhang Tong doesn't care about the life and study of his son in the countryside. But he left a lot of money for his family. Naturally, they don't care about the electricity bill of a few dollars. And because of the "thirteenth" in the summer, Zhang Zhen earned a color TV for his family. Colour televisions were a rarity in those days, and not everyone in the village had them.

In the winter, everyone is relatively idle, and in the evening, we have dinner. People in the Zhang family who were close to Zhang Datou moved a small bench to watch TV at home. Zhang Datou used to be a character who walked through the rivers and lakes, and he never cared about these. Every day, I happily asked Zhang Zhen to turn on the TV on time and adjust the station for everyone to see.

At first, only a few people came to his house to watch, but then more and more people came. I couldn't sit down in the small room anymore. Zhang Datou looked at the crowded people in the house, but he was not annoyed, so he asked Zhang Zhen to move the TV to the yard for everyone to see.

Although it is a big winter, the temperature is low. But everyone's enthusiasm for watching TV is high. Later, one by one, they took a bench and wore thick clothes on time to Zhang Datou's house to watch TV, and there were many naughty young men from the Li family in the crowd watching TV.

Zhang Datou didn't expect that for so many years, the estrangement between the Zhang and Li families would quietly resolve a TV set. Although this is just a symptom, this phenomenon is good. Zhang Datou looked at those familiar and unfamiliar faces, but he was also happy.

It's just that the only thing that annoys Zhang Datou is that the plots in this TV series are very exciting, and everyone who watches them is holding their pee. When the advertisements were broadcast in the middle, they went to the toilet one by one. Count nine cold days, dripping into ice. People who are thinking about TV dramas in their minds don't pee well in the toilet with a big head, and the urine is all over the ground and a layer of ice is formed. If it weren't for Zhang Datou's nimble hands and feet, he almost slipped and fell into the toilet pit one night when he went to the toilet.

Zhang Datou was irritated, and since then he has always locked the toilet door every night. I'm afraid that there will be another "horse stumbling hooves" thing.

But this can't affect everyone's enthusiasm for watching TV, at the beginning people ridiculed Zhang Datou and said: "You old man hangs a lock on the toilet, are you afraid that others will steal the in your house?" ”

But no matter what, Zhang Datou just won't open this door. Since then, icicles have appeared one by one on the side of the fence of Zhang Datou's house, jumbled and disorganized, but they are all colored. Everyone jokingly called this the "Ice Tower" of the Zhang family.

That night, it was the last quarter of the moon, and the sky was so dark that nothing could be seen. In the courtyard of Zhang Datou's house, there were already a few people who had come early gossiping. In order to occupy a good seat, they are ready to watch tonight's "Water Margin".

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei had already made an appointment, and when everyone was watching TV at his house, they quietly went to the temple halfway up the mountain to find out.

Zhang Lei had dinner and came to Zhang Zhen's house early. helped Zhang Zhen move out the TV, then connected the cable and adjusted the station. Advertisements were playing on the TV, and the people in the yard were coming one by one, and gradually there were more and more people.

Zhang Datou, who was sitting on the kang in the room and smoking, looked at it and muttered: "Times have changed, such a small black box has called everyone here." Alas, I think I didn't see everyone so active in order to re-'make trouble' back then. ”

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei stood aside, watching everyone sit down one by one, and then when the "Water Margin" TV series began, they were ready to act.

The anxious Zhang Zhen pulled Zhang Lei beside him. Zhang Lei was fascinated by the good show of "Wu Song drunk beating Jiang Menshen" tonight, and it was really difficult to give up.

When Zhang Zhen saw Zhang Lei like this, he was anxious. stepped directly on the surface of Zhang Lei's feet. This kick used a little strength, and Zhang Lei, who was in pain, immediately hugged his foot and screamed, and he couldn't care about any TV anymore.

In order to strengthen their courage, they secretly drank a sip of the wine brewed by Zhang Datou before going out. Then Zhang Zhen pulled Zhang Lei out of the door, they planned to fight quickly, relying on Zhang Zhen's unforgettable ability, as long as they found the dragon of Li Jiawu in the temple, they would take a look, and then go home immediately, ensuring that no one knew.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei both came to the gate of the temple halfway up the mountain. Zhang Lei took out the cigarettes he stole from home and prepared to take a few puffs before going in.

Zhang Lei had a cigarette in his mouth and just lit a match. Zhang Zhen blew it out with a "poof". Then he suppressed his voice, pointed to the room in the mountain temple that was chatting with lights, and said: "There is no time to smoke, you are absolutely exposed when you smoke." Although the blind man Zhang and the deaf man who guarded the temple both had their own disabilities, they had a way to know that someone was coming. If they think that there are people in the temple, they will ring the bell. Then things will get bigger. ”

The villagers worship ghosts and gods, this is the only temple in the village, since the reconstruction, the village has let Zhang Blind and Li Deaf guard the temple together. What I am afraid of is that those with bad intentions steal the things stored in the temple, but also to be a companion with the gods offered in the temple.

When Zhang Lei heard Zhang Zhen say this, he also felt that what he had done was wrong. Hurriedly stuffed the unlit cigarette into his pocket, waited for Zhang Zhen's order, and waited for the opportunity to move.

Zhang Zhen looked at the movement in the temple courtyard and couldn't see anyone. Now in winter, it gets dark early, and as soon as it gets dark, Zhang Blind and Li Deaf burn incense to the gods, and after burning the incense, they lock the temple door and sit idly in the house. One is deaf and the other is blind, and the two can't talk together. Therefore, the temple is very quiet at this time.

Zhang Zhen could see the incense sticks in the incense burner shining with the wind from the crack in the door of the temple gate, and there was no other movement. After Zhang Zhen finished investigating the surrounding environment, he was about to get up and climb over the wall to enter. When I turned around, I saw Zhang Lei lying on his stomach, but he didn't get up. In the dark, he couldn't see Zhang Lei's expression clearly, he pulled Zhang Lei with his hand, only to feel that Zhang Lei's body was trembling a little.

Zhang Zhen smiled secretly in his heart and didn't say anything. He felt that this kung fu Zhang Leizi didn't have weak legs when he saved himself on the wheat field, why was he cowardly at this time.

He was not embarrassed by Zhang Lei, so he turned his head and whispered: "I see that I still go in alone, you give me the flashlight, and I will come out as soon as I go in and see it." You keep a watch for me here, and if anyone comes, you can learn to meow three times. ”

After Zhang Zhen finished speaking, he vaguely heard Zhang Lei "um" in his throat, stood up, took the flashlight in Zhang Lei's hand and jumped into the yard.

The wall in the courtyard was a bit high, so I jumped off the wall and tiptoed towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall. As soon as Zhang Zhen's feet stepped into the main hall dedicated to the statue, he heard movement behind him.

Zhang Zhen didn't hear the sound of a cat barking outside, but he did feel something behind him. His heart was cold, and he didn't look back, and immediately flashed into the main hall and hid behind the door. He wanted to see who was behind him?
