【078】Under the bridge
Zhong Kui has more and more connotation, even if I go to the toilet, it is changed to a polite language that I come when I go. Zhiqing thought it was funny, and didn't point it out, so he said to Jiang Rong: "Come, come, the girl will play a game with me." ”
Jiang Rong is a newcomer to chess, clumsy, and repeatedly defeated. After a round, he was killed by Zhiqing without leaving a piece of armor.
She lied, "No, no, I'm just here, and I was killed by you before I figured it out." ”
"Haha, the girl is not interested in cheating. Willing to gamble and lose, this is the experience, can not go back on its word. ”
"Poof" "What's the matter, I just can't figure it out, just three or two times, and I'll lose to you." Jiang Rong deliberately pursed her lips and said with an unconvinced look.
There was a crisp 'click' at the door, like the sound of a lock. Zhiqing was focused on the chess game, and he didn't care, thinking that Zhong Kui was closing the door.
The chess pieces he raised hadn't fallen on the chessboard for a long time, in fact, he just suddenly remembered something, and looked up at Jiang Rong, "Girl, how long has that ghost hunter gone?" ”
Jiang Rong thought about it, "It's been a while, right?" ”
"You stay, I'll take a look."
Zhiqing went to the bathroom, and there was no one. Go to the kitchen, no one. I went to the small room to see, and there was no one either. Where did this ghost-hunter go? Will it sneak out to play? He put his hands behind his back and slowly returned to the living room.
Jiang Rong stared at the chessboard, heard the footsteps, and hurriedly put down her hand, "Is the ghost hunter catching ghosts?" "She's a joke that comes with it unintentionally or unintentionally.
Zhiqing's eyes widened and he said seriously, "He told you?" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Rong was surprised, her face was stunned, and she shook her head, "No"
"Strange."
"What's wrong?"
"He's not in the bathroom."
Jiang Rong raised her eyebrows, "Will you sneak out to play?" ”
"From what I know about him, he's not a playful person." Zhiqing's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand and said, "No matter, let's go for another game." ”
Zhong Kui secretly went out, afraid that Jiang Rong and Zhiqing would see it, so he looked at it all the way.
This community is not as bright as the countryside, and this family can go to that house. Pull homely and gossip! Be as free as you want. However, in the community in broad daylight, no neighbors took the initiative to come to the door to talk to each other, and each entered the house, and as soon as the door was closed, no one knew anyone.
The advantage of the countryside is that there is a call for everything, and everyone in the family knows about it within a radius of dozens of miles.
There is also a good thing about the community, which is neat and clean. The disadvantage is that the thief steals something, and the neighbor goes to help. The neighbors were kind enough to help, but they didn't mean to help the thief.
When the neighbor saw someone moving, he kindly stepped forward and asked, "Are you moving?" "Because we don't know each other, it's just vernacular!
The young man who was busy sweating and moving said happily: "Big brother, help me carry this refrigerator, I can't move the car alone." "Alright! The neighbor was also a warm-hearted person, so he helped the young man carry the refrigerator into the car. Good guy, the move didn't even say a word of thanks, started the car and sped away.
Later, the neighbors heard someone shouting that they had been robbed. After inquiring, I learned that there was no one at home next door at noon, and the thief had moved all the electrical appliances in their house. Someone pointed out that he still helped, and he couldn't cry or laugh, so he said it, and he didn't know the young man who moved at all.
The thief was bold enough to take advantage of the loophole that the neighbors did not know each other, and moved the furniture of the main house seven hundred south of the city in broad daylight. It's too arrogant to ask people to help, isn't it? After several lessons, the residents' committee, on its own, organized a patrol group to patrol the neighborhood 24 hours a day. Hi! Not to mention, this method is very good, and the thief never dares to steal things blatantly. The community has also been clean for a long time, and now I suddenly saw a black guy, a thief appeared in the community, they didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, caught him and went straight to the residents' committee.
Zhong Kui was miserable, he was taken to the residents' committee by a group of old ladies as if he were a prisoner. No matter how he explained, these old ladies were like eating the scales and had an iron heart, so they had to hold on to him.
I can't let my brother know about this, and if he knows, he might laugh at him! Besides, he can't show his appearance in front of Jiang Rong, this is a matter of dignity. Helplessly, after several cross-examinations, unilateral explanations are useless. Zhong Kui had no choice but to take out his ID card and make up a set of rhetoric: he said that he was from the countryside, and it was the first time he entered the city, and he was curious about everything. Unconsciously walked into the community, but I didn't expect to be taken as a thief.
These old ladies with retirement salaries have nothing to do, they just want to do something meaningful and big, and they also want to sigh in front of their juniors. That's why when they caught Zhong Kui, it is not an exaggeration to describe their mood at the moment with joy and excitement. But the leader of the People's Home Committee didn't rely on you to say that this guy was a thief or a thief, he still had to examine and observe carefully.
After observation, it was found that Zhong Kui was indeed an honest and responsible peasant, so he comforted him with kind words and let him go. As for the old ladies who were a little disappointed, the leaders of the neighborhood committee did not blame them, but praised them for their high vigilance and as examples for the younger generations to follow.
As soon as Zhong Kui went out, he ran away. He wasn't afraid that the old ladies would come after him and continue to pester him. Instead, I thought of going to Chongyin Bridge as soon as possible to see the situation, so that I could come back as soon as possible.
You can only reach the boundary of Chongyin Bridge by car, and you have to walk there. From time to time, tricycles appeared on the road, but he didn't want to spend the money, anyway, he had strength and strength.
The first time he came, Chen Jun brought him here on a motorcycle, and the scenes along the way also flashed. Now I rely on my feet to walk, and I can see every grass and tree. He saw the ruins of the Chongyin Temple. The crushed grass on the ground had slowly risen up under the call of the dew in the early morning, and the thin grass leaves still hung with shiny dew on the tips.
The wind and dust of the night covered the traces of the people who passed here yesterday. Maybe it's hard to be a hard nature! Even yesterday's imprint on Chen Jun's motorcycle tires did not leave a single bit.
Stop and go, Chongyin Bridge is right in front of you. High piers, black holes. Zhong Kui took a breath, didn't say a word, and suddenly jumped down and stepped on the ground under the bridge steadily.
Under the bridge, a fishy cold wind rushed in, slightly cool. The rope that bound Jiang Rong was long gone, and there was indeed no trace of anyone on the ground.
On the dark, sparkling surface of the river, whirlpools are one after another. Zhong Kui half-crouched on the ground, his sharp gaze scanning the river back and forth. Unfortunately, his peculiar eyes were no longer useful, and he could only sense that there seemed to be something bad in the air with his naked eye and keen sense of smell.
