Chapter Eighty-Nine: Catching a Dead Baby
I thought I had seen it wrong, but when I looked again, I saw a big ripple on the surface of the river......
After thinking about it, I still don't tell them, strange things have happened frequently these days, and more things are better than less, maybe I'm too nervous these days, and I'm dazzled.
In short, the Yellow River is a very strange river, every time the flow is broken, the river is always a piece, the river outside the old temple village suddenly broke off like this, only those miles of the area is out of water, other places the water is still very deep.
Seeing this scene, Chen Laosan felt very strange, this kind of scene has never been seen in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the upstream section of the river is generally narrower, both banks are cliffs, but the river is also deep, there will never be a scene of a depression.
"It's not easy to eat from the river!"
Seeing that the Yellow River had been cut off and the fishing boats could only run aground on the bare riverbed, Chen Laosan sighed with emotion.
There was no boat in the Yellow River, and after wandering around for more than half an hour, there was nothing to gain, so I asked Zhang Kailong to go to Laomiao Village.
After the car drove to the gate of the village branch, several neighbors came around, and Wang Jiliang heard the sound and walked out of the house.
"Xiao Zhen! Have you figured things out? ”
When Wang Jiliang saw me, he immediately asked.
"It can be determined that these strange things are related to the Yellow River, and there are already clues!"
The first half of what I said is true, the second half is false, and I tell a small lie to reassure the neighbors.
"That's good! That's good! I have already said in the loudspeaker that everyone should not approach the Yellow River in any way these days. ”
I nodded and asked Wang Jiliang, "Uncle Wang, what about those neighbors who were crushed?" ”
"Oh! When I first came back, I felt very tired and a little dizzy, but after resting for a while, I was fine, and now I have become a frightened bird! After speaking, Wang Jiliang smiled bitterly twice.
I suddenly remembered that Master had left behind a few books that said that people with soft characters are prone to dirty things. Whether the eight characters are soft or hard is fixed at the moment a person is born, but it can be made up for the day after tomorrow.
Some people bring jade pendants, and some people hang small Buddhas, in fact, they all belong to an acquired way to make up for it.
Not just a pendant can make up for a person's congenital soft defects, but also need another condition, that is, people who believe in Buddhism should let the monks open the light for this pendant, and the people who believe in the Tao call it the opening of the way, and the role is nothing more than to make this thing spiritual.
Some people say that a good jade, you can know your own master, bless him to escape a life and death calamity, for thousands of years this word has been misunderstood by many people, the so-called good jade does not mean that the jade itself is worthless, whether it is Hetian jade or Xinjiang jade, if there is no master to open the light, it is just a stone.
On the other hand, if an ordinary piece of jade is opened by a master, then it can be called a good jade in terms of blessing people's peace.
Thinking of this, I said to Wang Jiliang: "Uncle Wang! Again, please use a loudspeaker to say, let those bewitched neighbors prepare a small pendant for each, even if it is plastic or wood, and then rush to the village branch as soon as possible! ”
Wang Jiliang didn't know what I wanted to do, but he believed in me very much, so he shouted through the loudspeaker first, and then asked me why.
I explained, "There are eight or nine hundred people in our village, why are only these 100 or so people being bewitched? The reason should be very simple, that is, they are too soft, and I want to let these people hang a chain that opens the aisle, so as to make up for the innate deficiency of the eight characters! ”
A few minutes later, the neighbors walked into the compound of the village branch one after another, and when they saw me, they all had a smile on their faces.
"Xiao Zhen, you're back!"
"Xiao Zhen is here, I'm down-to-earth!"
"Just stay in the village! Gone elsewhere......"
Everyone was talking and laughing, gossiping, as if they had suddenly come out of the previous nightmare.
I asked everyone to be quiet for a while, and then I said what I thought.
The neighborhood applauded.
"All the pendants that everyone prepared have been brought, right?"
Most of the answers were "brought", and a few said they didn't understand Secretary Wang's words.
I explained again, saying that as long as it is any small pendant, even if it is a plastic product that the child is playing with.
After a few people understood it, they immediately ran home to get it, but the village itself is not big, and it won't take more than a few minutes to go back and forth. At this time, Aunt Li from the north of the village blushed and called me over.
"What's wrong Aunt Li?" I asked.
Aunt Li seemed very embarrassed, and whispered next to me: "I'm afraid of losing it, and I want to ask if I can replace something that I can't lose." ”
I also whispered back, "Actually, anything can be used, what do you want to use?" ”
"Just use my underwear and my daughter's underwear! It's a personal belonging, and you can't lose ......."
As soon as he finished saying this, I glanced at the girl standing next to him. I forgot what the girl's name was, she was three years younger than me, and her body was already well-developed, so she started wearing a bra.
When I looked at her, she was also looking at me timidly, her face flushed, obviously hearing her mother's words.
"That's okay...... But if you want to open the way, you have to go through my hands...... Do you think it's appropriate? ”
As soon as I said yes, Aunt Li burst out loud, and her voice unconsciously rose: "It's okay!" Isn't it just to touch the clothes a few times, let alone the clothes, as long as it can save lives, it is to touch your aunt and my daughter! ”
Laughter suddenly came from the crowd, and someone quipped, "You are willing, but Chen Xiaozhen is still unwilling!" But...... But if he only touches your daughter, he shouldn't object! ”
This time, everyone laughed even more happily, and Aunt Li also laughed, but her daughter was ashamed, and she lowered her head and pulled the corner of Aunt Li's clothes.
The neighbors who went back soon returned, and everyone consciously surrounded the city and lined up. I sat cross-legged, reciting the "Daoguang Pudu Sutra" over and over again, and at the same time, the heat in my body flowed into my hands, and I touched the pendants handed over to me one by one.
If you want to say that the people in the north, most of them are honest! I almost couldn't help laughing when I saw all kinds of pendants in the hands of the neighbors, some of them were a few dollars a stone ornament, some were really children's ornaments, and some of them even found a child's toy and wore it with a rope.
The most ridiculous thing is that Aunt Li and her daughter, who really pulled off their underwear behind the crowd and handed it to me.
Aunt Li's underwear exudes a sour smell, it is estimated that it has not been changed for several days, her daughter's bra is pink, and it is embroidered with Bikachu in Japanese anime.
Aunt Li's daughter was already ashamed, and she asked me like a mosquito, "Okay, are you ......?"
After reciting the scriptures and accepting them, it was already dusk, and Wang Jiliang invited us to his house for dinner.
Sitting on the bench of Wang Jiliang's house, I suddenly had a kind of homely warmth, which also reminded me of the gorgeous ......
"Uncle Wang! Maybe in a few days, the public security bureau will notify the village to transport the gorgeous corpse back, I may have a lot of things to do these days, you can help buy some sacrifices! It's not easy to be gorgeous, we have to let her go on the road with peace of mind......"
"Child, I know you feel uncomfortable, but there are no young and old people on Huangquan Road, one person has one life!"
Soon Aunt Wang brought a few dishes, Uncle Wang took out two bottles of Wuliangye, and the four of them ate and chatted, and soon it was eight or nine o'clock.
Zhang Kailong looked at his watch and hurriedly said to Aunt Wang: "Auntie, don't be busy, we still have a task tonight, do you have steamed buns......"
After eating and drinking, accompanied by the stars in the sky, we left the old temple village.
Laomiao Village is only seven or eight miles away from the pontoon bridge, but there are small roads that can only be walked or bicycled, and the roads are very narrow and impassable by cars. The car had to make a big detour and walk an extra five or six miles.
While driving, Zhang Kailong whispered to the two of us: "Didn't the old man say eleven o'clock?" Let's go an hour early, Xiao Zhen, your eyesight is good, hide in the dark when the time comes, pay attention to where the old man comes from! ”
I looked at my watch, and there were still seven minutes to go until ten o'clock, which was indeed an hour ahead.
Zhang Kailong hid the car on a platform on the side of the dam.
The Yellow River dam protrudes to one side every few miles, so that it can be used to plug the opening of the embankment when the river overflows. Later, the local department will desilt every few years, the so-called dredging is in winter, when the river is cut off or the amount of water is low, use a professional sand dredging boat to scrape a layer of sediment from the high riverbed, so that in ordinary years, the Yellow River will not burst the embankment, and the protruding platform has become a place for passers-by to occasionally park.
After stopping the car and turning off the engine, the three people quietly walked to the pontoon.
From a distance, I saw that the toll booth was empty and the toll railing was raised. Hey? Today is not a free day stipulated by the state! Could it be that the toll collector has had another accident?
Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan were also stunned when they saw the empty toll booth, but they didn't say anything.
As soon as I rounded the toll booth, I saw at a glance a man dressed in white sitting on the bridge on the central side of the pontoon.
"Look! Is that the old man? ”
Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan's eyesight is not as good as mine, I pointed at them to see, and they could only vaguely see a piece of white.
"Do you see clearly? It's an old man! ”
Zhang Kailong asked me.
"I can see it very clearly! He...... He actually sat on the bow of the boat and fished! ”
When I looked again, I noticed that the old man was sitting here fishing in the middle of the night, holding a fishing rod in his hand!
After we walked a few dozen meters, Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan also recognized that this was a man in white, and he was an old man.
"! He also arrived an hour early! ”
Zhang Kailong scolded in a low voice.
Soon, we walked behind the old man, and before Zhang Kailong could start, the old man nodded slightly, and said in an extremely loud voice: "Here!" Wait a minute, let me catch this fish first! ”
After saying this, the old man did not move, but stared at the fishing line on the surface of the water.
I wondered to the extreme, didn't it mean that the old man was fishing with an embroidery needle, and that he had never caught a fish in these days? Which place is he playing now!
In this atmosphere, the three of us also consciously held our breath, and did not dare to make a sound at all, and there was only the occasional sound of small fish playing in the water on the entire Yellow River.
After about ten minutes, I saw the old man suddenly lift the fishing rod and throw it on the board at the same time.
I saw a big-headed baby covered in redness thrown by him onto the board.
