Chapter 52 Transactions
I slowly stood up from the ground, the black shadow saw me stand up, immediately stopped, I looked around left and right, there was nothing usable at hand, only the wreath that I kicked over, the wreath legs were two bamboo poles three or four centimeters thick, I walked over and grabbed one of the bamboo poles and dragged it, the tie was quite firm, but I couldn't pull it off the wreath.
I looked at the black shadow again, still standing not far away, looking like a person, but very short, thinking of what the old man said in my dream, someone wanted to harm me, I encouraged myself in my heart, and shouted at the black shadow: "Who are you, what do you want to do!" ”
The black shadow didn't squeak, and I shouted again: "Are you Luo Wu?" ”
This time the voice did not fall, I saw the black shadow raise his hand, "whoosh" at me to throw a thing, I hurriedly dodged to the side, "poof", the thing stuck on the mound behind me, looked back, it was actually a wine bottle, the bottleneck was stuck in the sealing mound, the bottom of the bottle was exposed.
When I turned around and looked at the black shadow again, the black shadow had already walked back, and I wanted to chase after it, but then I thought that it would not work, in case he wanted to lead me over, don't be stupid, I will also leave quickly.
I picked up my schoolbag from the ground, and when the black shadow was gone, I carried the schoolbag on my back and walked south again. However, I walked less than a hundred meters, and suddenly I heard a "whoosh" sound around me, and something fell into the grass nest next to me, and when I turned my head to look, it was a wine bottle again, and I quickly turned around and looked behind me, and the black shadow, the black shadow walked back at this time.
I wondered, what does he mean? I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the wine bottle in the grass nest again, walked over, and picked up the wine bottle from the grass nest.
The transparent glass bottle, which was bare and unlabeled, was plugged with a wooden stopper, and when I looked at it in my hand, I found that there seemed to be something inside, and if I looked closely, there was indeed something.
I reached out to pull the plug on it, and found that there was still some mud on the stopper, I was stunned, and said to myself, this can't be the bottle that pierced the grave just now.
The cork opened, poured out the contents and saw that it was two paper rolls, opened one of them, and felt that there seemed to be words on it, and immediately took out a lighter from his body, and looked at the note with the lighter, and saw that it read: "Qiang Shun, I have an important matter, I must go back to Chen Hui, you go home by yourself first, and when I finish my work and go home, let's have a good drink." ”
I'm just stunned, isn't this the note I wrote to Qiang Shun before? A bad premonition suddenly appeared in my heart, and I quickly opened another note, and saw that it read: "Your friend is in my hand, take the bronze medal in exchange for ......"
Just seeing these words, my head "buzzed", the black shadow just now, ten layers and ten is Luo Wu, could it be that Qiang Shun fell into his hands? No, what about Chen Hui, when I left, weren't the two of them together, why did Qiang Shun fall into Luo Wu's hands? I was anxious, and my anxious head was big.
There are still words on the note, and when I stabilized my mind, I looked down again, and saw that it was written on the back: "Go east to the old mother temple, hand over the cards, hand over the person." ”
Five miles to the east? I raised my eyes and looked at my left hand side, I was walking towards the south just now, this left hand side should be "east", at this time my mind was confused, a little unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, I probably chose the direction, turned around and walked towards the left hand side, thinking as I walked, how could Qiang Shun fall into Luo Wu's hands? Could this be a trap? If it's a trap, why would Luo Wu have a note I wrote to Qiang Shun?
At this time, the time was about two or three o'clock in the morning, and I don't know how far I walked, but it was estimated that there were at least three or four miles, and the sky was dark, and I walked for a while, and a village appeared in front of me, and I estimated that at least six or seven miles had been walked at this time.
When I walked into the village, the sky was already bright, and it was a very small and dilapidated village, estimated to have less than 100 households. There are a few people on the road in the village, all of them are old people, and it is estimated that the young people have gone to work in other places. I went over to ask people if there was any old mother temple nearby. People shook their heads when they heard this, and then I pointed in the direction I was walking and asked, is this direction east? They shook their heads again and told me that this was the north.
When I heard this, I immediately grinned, and walked for most of the night, it turned out that I walked back again, and I said that this road looks so familiar, this village should be in the northeast of the previous town, that is, the northeast of the town where the child dived.
After thanking the people, they planned to return the same way, but they saw a small shop on the side of the road, and the word "baked cake" was written on it.
As soon as I saw these two words, I felt hungry, walked into the store, and bought more than ten baked cakes in one go, which were still freshly baked, and the hot ones were hot, and the others were put in my schoolbag, and there was one left in my hand.
I went back the way and left their village, I finished gnawing a baked cake, and took out another one from my schoolbag, and opened my mouth to gnaw it, I was suddenly unhappy, this baked cake is not small, that is, why is it so thin, like two layers of paper, the boss must have bullied me and was not their local, and sold this thin baked cake to me in other baked cakes.
I was not happy anymore, but I had an idea, turned around and went back to their village, found a shop in the village, bought a large piece of yellow paper in the store, nibbled on the baked cake in my hand, and stuffed it into my school bag with a pack of yellow paper.
Then, I went back the way I came, came to the place where I had picked up the bottle before, and debated the direction, but in fact, there was no need to argue the direction at this time, the sun rose in the east, and I just walked in the direction of the sun.
This time, I calculated the distance as I walked, and after walking for so many days, I could also estimate the length of the journey in my heart.
I walked more than five miles, and there was another village in front of me, which was smaller than the previous village, and it was estimated that there were only a few dozen households, and the houses were built in a mess, and there was no main road in the village.
In the south of their village, there is an ancestral hall, it seems to be the ancestral hall surnamed Zhang, it should be the surname Zhang, I took a look at it at that time, the ancestral hall is a big courtyard, the courtyard gate is the kind of iron fence type, and it is still padlocked, the lock is a little rusty, and the grass is overgrown inside, it seems that no one has entered it for a long time.
On the opposite side of the road from the ancestral hall, a little to the left of the roadside, there is a courtyard, sitting east and facing west. After entering their village, I finally found a commissary, bought a box of cigarettes in the commissary, and asked the boss about it. The boss said that this courtyard is the old mother temple, but this temple is only opened on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and the temple doors are locked at this time, and no one can enter it.
When I came to the door of the temple, I looked, there is no plaque on the top of the door, but there is a small gatehouse, which is very distinctive, so that people can see that it is a temple at a glance. At this time, the temple door was not locked, it was hidden, I walked to the door and pushed it gently, and the courtyard door creaked and opened a crack.
I didn't rush in, I looked inside through the crack in the door, it was a big courtyard inside, it was very clean, and the others couldn't be seen, and I gently pushed the door open a little, and looked inside again, three large tile houses, one in the middle, one on the left and one on the left and right, in the middle of the courtyard, there was a large circular incense burner, which looked like copper, in fact, it should be cast in iron.
The owner of the commissary also said that because there are few people in their village, only a few old ladies in their village usually come here to burn incense, and there are no temple wishes in the temple.
But at this time, next to the temple gate in the middle, there is a recliner, which is the kind of recliner made of bamboo in the past, which is rare now, and even if you see it, it will become an old antique.
There was an old man lying on the chaise longue, because the old man was lying down, and I couldn't see his face clearly from here, and I felt as if he was lying there with his eyes closed.
I didn't dare to go inside, so I stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked the old man, "Grandpa, is this the old mother's temple?" ”
The old man was lying on the chaise longue and ignored me, I raised my voice and asked again, and the old man sat up on the chaise longue, and I looked at his face and gasped.
I saw this old man, half of his face was full of dark red scars, as if he had been burned by fire, his eyelids were burned and he couldn't open them, he looked like one eye was big and the other eye was small, and all the hair on his head was gone, not only bald, but also scars on his head, fortunately it was daytime, if he saw it at night, he would have to be scared to death.
Taking a deep breath, I settled down on myself and asked, "Uncle, is this my mother?" "Why did I change my name to "uncle" again, because this person looks like an old man, but it gives me the feeling that he should not be an old man, and the other half of his face does not have so many folds, and at most he looks forty years old.
Scarface looked at me a few times with his big and small eyes, then stood up from the chaise longue, and when I saw it, it was still a pot, with his body lying on his back, looking at this image, it looked like the one who rang the bell in the movie I watched when I was a child.
The scarface man nodded at me, "Ahhhh
Stepping into the courtyard, I took a few steps towards Scarface and asked, "Uncle, is this really the old mother?" ”
"Ahh......h
I took a few more steps closer to him, and if I was to stay on top of him, I would keep a certain distance from him and not go any further, because it looked too scary, but for me, there was really nothing that could scare me, and if you deliberately kept your distance from them, it would make people feel uncomfortable.
Approaching Scarface, I asked, "Have you seen a southerner, who asked me to come here?" ”
"Ahhh......h
I walked to the door of the temple and looked inside, and I saw a merit box in the door, and there was a note on the box, and I looked at other places inside, and there were statues of gods, incense cases, futons, etc., the place was not big, it was very quiet, and it didn't feel like there was any danger.
Walking into the temple, I looked down at the note, and saw that it read: "The bronze medal is placed here." ”
