Chapter 51: Who is it?
It's not very far from Huangling, so I took a taxi to Huangling again, and as soon as I arrived, I saw a sea of people searching in a dragnet style, and there were a few big tents nearby.
I contacted Boss Chen's subordinate Da Zhuang, and after a while, a tall and strong fat guy ran over, Da Zhuang wiped the sweat on his face and said, "Master He, it's hard to find barren mountains and mountains!" ”
I asked, "Doesn't anyone know where they are?" ”
Da Zhuang pointed to the reed pit not far away and said: "The insider's impression is that the coffin was thrown there, but no trace was found, so I had to expand the search area, and there is no eyebrow at present." ”
I asked Da Zhuang if he knew if he knew about the bamboo building on the earthen hill, and Da Zhuang said that the building had been there for a long time, and it belonged to a lame old man in the village.
Seeing that I cared about the bamboo building, Da Zhuang shouted at a back figure in the distance: "Monk Lai, come here." ”
The lame old man didn't care, and waved his hand: "It's here." ”
Da Zhuang explained that this old man was originally from the deserted village on the mountain, and later moved down from the mountain in accordance with national policies.
Monk Lai was stunned for a moment when he saw me, and said with a smile: "Head, fifty yuan a day!" This work is the same as picking up money, but I don't know how many days I can do it? ”
"You're an old money fan, and I don't know what you're a monk for." Da Zhuang Han Dao.
Monk Lai said hehehe: "The monk is also eating!" ”
Da Zhuang introduced: "Okay, this is Master He invited by Boss Chen, and now Master He has something to ask you." ”
Monk Lai nodded: "Master He." ”
I sat Monk Lai down and asked, "Old man, you won't remember me, will you?" ”
Monk Lai examined it for a long time: "The face is familiar, Master He's face is kind, but I can't remember when I saw it." ”
I told Zhou Bing about following him, and Monk Lai suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, it turned out to be the nobleman of the second master." ”
Monk Lai's yin and yang weirdness made me very uncomfortable, but I felt that he was not so honest as he appeared at all, and asked, "You are very familiar with the second master?" ”
Monk Lai nodded: "I have been friends for many years." ”
I asked again, "Who is the second master?" ”
Monk Lai smiled: "The second master is the second master." ”
Da Zhuang was afraid to drink: "Monk Lai, do you know?" ”
Monk Lai looked aggrieved: "Master He, I'm just a food delivery person, and I don't know anything!" ”
I asked Da Zhuang to be quiet, and then asked, "You lived in a village in the mountains before?" ”
Monk Lai said that there was no one in the village when he went, and later met the second master, so he became the steward of the bamboo building.
I confirmed with Da Zhuang, and Da Zhuang also said that the village was originally a deserted village, and few people went to it because they heard that it was haunted, and no one said clearly when there were no people in that village.
I asked Monk Lai again: "Don't you know that the deserted village is haunted?" ”
Monk Lai clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, the monk is here to subdue demons, why fear ghosts and gods?" ”
I couldn't understand it more and more, and asked, "Can you catch ghosts?" ”
Da Zhuang pointed to his brain and said, "Master He, he has a problem here, he often starts to brag nonsense within ten sentences when talking to the people in the village, don't believe him." ”
After that, I asked Monk Lai to go back, and Da Zhuang looked at his watch and said, "Master He will get off work soon, do you think I will send you back or what?" ”
I subconsciously looked at my watch and asked, "So early?" ”
Da Zhuang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Master He, you don't know, this old man on the reed beach often says that it is haunted, so the villagers are very taboo, and no one dares to come when the sun sets." It's getting dark fast in winter now, so it's not very early. ”
I pointed to the tent and said, "Isn't there a place where people can live?" I'll stay there tonight. ”
Da Zhuang was even more embarrassed, and whispered: "It's an empty tent, there is no one in it at night, it's just to please the boss." ”
I said, "It doesn't matter, just prepare me something to eat and drink, and then get me a bed, and I'll sleep there at night." ”
Da Zhuang said that it was fully equipped, and asked me to keep it secret for them before leaving. I reassured him that I wouldn't mind their business, but now I suddenly feel a little sorry for Boss Chen!
When they finished work, I went to one of the tents alone, and sure enough, there were a lot of bunks in it, I went out to find some dry firewood, boiled two bags of instant noodles, ate and ate I, I went to sleep on the bunk.
At night, when the temperature plummeted, I pulled a quilt and wrapped it around my body to keep out the cold, maybe I went to bed too early, and I couldn't sleep again.
It happened that there was a strong wind outside, and the tent was crumbling, so I tuck the quilt into my arms again and pray that the tent would be firmly tied and not blown away in the middle of the night.
At this moment, I heard a sound of footsteps outside, I touched the short sword on my waist and lifted the curtain of the door and walked out, the moonlight outside was very bright and I didn't find anyone, but there was a large plastic bucket on the side of the doorway.
I walked over and unscrewed the lid on it, and by the smell I concluded that it was a barrel of gasoline, and I was sure that there was no such barrel here during the day, so I assumed it was someone who was going to burn me!
"Master He, you haven't slept yet?"
I turned my head to see that it was Da Zhuang, and asked with some suspicion, "Why are you here?" ”
Da Zhuang said that he was afraid that I would come over to take a look at it from the cold, and brought me some hot rice by the way.
I subconsciously looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, and asked, "You only have dinner so late?" ”
Da Zhuang smiled: "Master He, you don't know, the road is relatively far, and it takes more than an hour to come and go, this is the chicken that I asked my daughter-in-law to stew for Master He, and it is still hot, Master He, you can eat it while it is hot." ”
I didn't think Da Zhuang was lying about carrying a thermos bucket in his hand, but I was still a little worried and didn't dare to eat his things, and smiled back and said, "I'm bothered, I'm not hungry after eating, but thank you for it." ”
Da Zhuang said: "Master He, who is nothing, you don't know that thanks to Boss Chen's kindness to let me work in his factory, I married my daughter-in-law after making money." Now Master He is doing things for Boss Chen, that is, for me Dazhuang, I can't be lazy! ”
I asked, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts at night?" ”
Da Zhuang scratched his head and said with a simple smile: "My grandmother said that I am strong, and the little ghosts are afraid to approach me, so I have never encountered ghosts hitting the wall here since I was a child, so I am more courageous than the villagers." ”
Still a little skeptical, I pointed to the oil drum and asked, "You also put this thing?" ”
Da Zhuang glanced at it, shook his head and said, "No, I saw a big white bucket when I first came, and I thought it was the drinking water brought by Master He." Master He, didn't you put it? ”
I smiled and took the thing from Da Zhuang's hand and said, "I put it in, just kidding you." It's not too early, you can go back early, and I'll give you the bucket tomorrow. ”
"Okay, Master He, I'll go."
"Okay, slow down on the road, go back and thank your daughter-in-law for me!"
