Chapter 139, a diary
"Mu Thorn, you keep an eye on him, don't let him run away!" Abba instructed the thorn next to him, and the thorn smacked his face and obviously didn't like the errand, but he didn't dare to listen to the headman's words, so he had to answer: "Yes, headman." ”
The head man and the other old men left, leaving only Jin Xiu, Mu Thorn and Li Chengqian.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the children." Jin Xiu hung a camera around his neck and walked in front, Li Chengqian followed behind, and Mu Thorn pouted and walked last with a displeased face.
There are about 30 children in Kowloon Village, ranging in size from weaned to fourteen or fifteen years old, but none of them know Chinese characters.
They were summoned together by Kim so and asked to listen to Li Chengqian's lectures.
Li Chengqian looked at these children in front of him and was a little speechless, he had never been a teacher, how could he know how to teach these children, but when he saw Jin Xiu's expectant eyes, he had to smile bitterly and shook his head and walked to the front, and wrote the word "person" on a wooden board prepared by Mu Thorn that was painted black with the bottom of the pot, which was the first word he taught these children.
Jin Xiu sat in the children's pile with a smile and listened to Li Chengqian's lecture. Don't look at her eighteen years old, but she doesn't know more words than these children, so she also took the opportunity to learn knowledge from Li Chengqian together.
Mu Zhu sat boredly on the side, fiddling with the Miao knife in his hand, his little daughter was also studying in the crowd, seeing his daughter's excited expression, he snorted and muttered dissatisfiedly: "This little girl has no conscience, I went out to rob her and bought a mobile phone back, and I haven't seen her so happy." ”
At this time, all the children were listening attentively to Li Chengqian's lecture. Li Chengqian also saw that these children liked to listen to stories, so he thought of a way to educate and entertain, mixing knowledge into interesting stories to tell these children, so that they could not only learn knowledge but also have fun.
Jin Xiu also listened to it with relish, the Jiulong Village was very closed, there was no electricity, there was no entertainment at ordinary times, and the stories that the children listened to were also passed down by the old people by word of mouth, there were only a dozen in total, and they were tired of hearing it for a long time.
Now, Li Chengqian brought them new stories, and they were much more interesting than the stories they had heard, which made the children very happy and much less hostile to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian spoke for more than an hour in one breath, his mouth was dry, Jin Xiu walked over and handed him a bowl of water, Li Chengqian drank it dry in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Refreshing!" Thank you! ”
"Then you can talk about it for a while, Sun Monkey was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, what happened?" Jin Xiu asked expectantly with a wink.
The children also coaxed: "yes, let's talk a little longer, we'll continue to listen." ”
Even the thorn next to him stretched his neck, he was fascinated by what he heard just now, and he really wanted to know the story of Sun Wukong.
Li Chengqian had no choice but to continue to talk until Tang Seng rescued Sun Wukong and the master and apprentice were preparing to learn scriptures from the west, he stopped, waved his hand and said: "I can't talk anymore, I won't be able to speak tomorrow." ”
The children were still unsatisfied, and Jin Xiu helped Li Chengqian relieve the siege and said: "Okay, he's tired, the children will listen to it tomorrow." "With that, he drove the children away.
"They really listen to you." Li Chengqian and Jin Xiu were walking in the stockade, and Mu Thorn followed not far away, holding the Miao Dao Sutra and staring at Li Chengqian's back.
Jin Xiu said: "I am a saint, and they all respect me. She pulled out her camera and said, "You haven't taught me how to use this yet." ”
"It's simple." Li Chengqian taught Jin Xiu how to use the camera, Jin Xiu was very smart and learned it quickly, she picked up the camera excitedly, and took a photo of Li Chengqian with a "click".
She laughed and said, "This is in return for you secretly taking a picture of me yesterday." She looked down at the camera, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't seem to be very satisfied, and said, "I'm better than the photo, is it that I didn't take a photo?" Forget it, so be it. ”
Jin Xiu took a camera and took pictures everywhere, and the people in the village looked at her in surprise, not knowing what she was doing.
After taking about dozens of photos, Jin Xiu stopped, looked at the photos in the camera, the corners of her mouth curled, and said with a smile: "When I get old and enter the Holy Spirit Pavilion, I will bring the camera with me, and when I get there, I will turn it out and take a look." ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, his heart was full of bad feelings, thinking that before, there were so many nameless saints who died at the hands of the snake demon, he hated the demagogic snake demon even more.
"If my cultivation is still there, I will definitely cut it into several pieces!" Li Chengqian thought hatefully in his heart.
Suddenly remembering the matter of the medicine girl, Li Chengqian asked: "Miss Jinxiu, do you know, who still knows the saintess of the last session?" Does she have any relatives and friends? I'd like to inquire about this camera owner. ”
Jin Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Her family is dead, and she has no offspring, but I can take you to a place where there may be clues from your friend." After that, he led Li Chengqian to a small wooden house, and after letting Mu Jian open the door, Li Chengqian saw four or five large wooden boxes inside.
"Your outsiders' stuff is collected here, you can go and rummage through it." Jin Xiu said: "This camera was turned out by my brother from here. ”
"The owner of these things...... Are they all dead? Li Chengqian frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Jin Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "It should be, once outsiders are caught, they will be killed on the spot, and there are very few people like you who can survive." ”
Li Chengqian nodded, walked into the wooden house alone and rummaged through.
Most of the clothes in the big wooden boxes were for both men and women, some of which had rotted for too long, and Li Chengqian even found items from the Republic of China.
Mu Thorn said at the door: "You can't get out in your life, even if you find clues, it's useless!" ”
Li Chengqian ignored him and continued to rummage, the light in the room was too dim, and the place was cramped, so he simply moved out the big wooden boxes one by one, poured out the contents and rummaged through them carefully.
Jin Xiu looked at it for a while, then walked over and said, "I'll help you too, what are you looking for?" ”
"Find something with words!" Li Chengqian said: "No matter what it is, books and books can be used, as long as you bring words." Only words can record who the owner of these garments is. ”
"Okay." Jin Xiu also squatted down to help find it, and Mu Thorn snorted and said, "I'm really full!" ”
The two rummaged for a long time, and Jin Xiu finally found a diary in a travel bag, handed it to Li Chengqian, and said, "Look at this." ”
Li Chengqian took it over and looked through it carefully, and the diary was written by a girl named "Jiang Shitong", who was about 20 years old, in which she recorded the experience of traveling to the Yunzhou Mountains with her friend "Shu Xuanya", and the date happened to be five years ago.
The time, place, and characters all coincided with what the medicine girl said, so Li Chengqian had a hunch that this diary must have something to do with the medicine girl's life experience, so he continued to look at it.
The diary reads:
Five years ago, Jiang Shitong and Shu Xuanya graduated from university and traveled together. Jiang Shitong likes insects, so the two girls chose the primeval forest of Yunzhou as the destination of their trip because there are many kinds of insects here.
After that, they went into the depths of the Yunzhou Forest, and they got lost. At that time, smartphones were not as developed as they are now, and they could locate their own location, and they had to rely on the compass they carried with them to find their way out.
But for some reason, the compass pointed east and west, and they could not determine the direction at all, so the two men walked around the forest for several days, and finally they ran out of food and water, and they began to despair.
At this moment, a very peculiar butterfly attracted Jiang Shitong's attention. She wrote in her diary: "The butterfly seemed to be pointing at me and asked me to follow her. ”
So, Jiang Shitong pulled Shu Xuanya and followed the butterfly to a cottage in a daze, which was Jiulong Village.
Shu Xuanya was frightened of this gloomy cottage, so she persuaded Jiang Shitong to leave quickly, but Jiang Shitong followed the butterfly into the cottage, and after that, the two were caught by the local Miao people.
At that time, they were almost summarily executed, but they were stopped by the saint at that time, who was the elderly Miao girl in the photo.
"The old woman of the Miao nationality said that one of us was a fairy in the sky, and she didn't let the people in the village touch us, and she entertained us well. I think that fairy should be me, because I am more beautiful than Shu Xuanya! Jiang Shitong described the situation in her diary, "I also took a picture of the old woman at that time, but she didn't seem to like it very much, next time I have to pay attention to it, don't make her angry." ”
After that, Jiang Shitong's diary recorded more and more strange things, and Li Chengqian felt that she was hallucinating, and as for the reason, it may be caused by her inhaling too much miasma.
When there were still three entries left in the diary, Jiang Shitong's handwriting became more and more sloppy, and he seemed to be unable to control his hands. She wrote in her diary: "The results are out, I am not a fairy, Shu Xuanya is!" Why? My mother-in-law said that only fairies can live, am I going to die? No, the dead person should be Shu Xuanya! ”
Li Chengqian looked at the diary and muttered: "Shu Xuanya is a fairy descending to earth? What is a fairy? He continued.
"Hahaha, I'm too smart, I lied to Shu Xuanya!" Jiang Shitong seems to have gone crazy, her handwriting is extremely sloppy, Li Chengqian can barely recognize most of it, roughly meaning that Jiang Shitong deceived Shu Xuanya and told her that because she was not a fairy descending to earth, she would be executed, Shu Xuanya was scared, so she jumped off the wall overnight with the help of Jiang Shitong and escaped.
The people in the cottage found that someone had escaped, so they sent people to chase them, but the people who came back said that Shu Xuanya fell under the cliff and died.
"Now that I'm a fairy, I can live!" This is the last record of Jiang Shitong's diary, and the back is all blank.
Li Chengqian closed the diary, his face was gloomy, Jiang Shitong betrayed her friend in order to survive, but it seems that she also died later, what an irony!
However, Li Chengqian is still not sure, is Shu Xuanya a medicine girl, or is the medicine girl actually Jiang Shitong?
