Finally, a little west to the north of their village, we found a large cattle pen, and there were several cattle in it, probably at bedtime, and they all seemed to be asleep.

Of course, we can't go into the pen and sleep with the cows. Next to the cattle pen, there are many straw stacks, the old high piles, there are soybean straw and corn straw, these straws are used as feed for cattle for the winter. When we saw that these straw stacks were okay, we found one of the corn straw stacks, and dug out a hole in the straw stacks, and the openings were small and large, and they all got into it.

The inside of the straw stack is actually much warmer than the inside of the house, impermeable on all sides, and the straw is surrounded by the upper and lower sides, which is a little dirty, and it comes out of it after sleeping overnight, and the body and hair are full of straw leaves and hairy ears.

He slept all night in the straw stack, got up the next day, had something to eat, and continued his journey north.

After walking for about a morning, the sun came to the middle of the sky, and a village appeared not far in front of me, and when I looked closer, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Beckoning Chen Hui and the three of them to stop, I frowned and thought about it carefully, I remember that the big village before I walked through should be the village of Li Zhi's father and daughter. Li Zhi is my imposter uncle, and my cousin, Li Xiaoling. After the village of Li Zhi's father and daughter, it should be the village of the "village god", and the eyes of the "village god" are still with me, and the eyes must be returned to it.

However, I wondered at this time, the village in front of me was neither the village of Li Zhi's father and daughter, nor the village of the village god. Could it be that you are going in the wrong direction? I patted my head and thought about it again, no, I didn't keep heading north.

At this time, Chen Hui asked me if I still wanted to go forward, whether I wanted to enter that village. I smiled bitterly at him and said, "Dao Chief, we seem to be lost again......"

When Chen Hui heard this, he also frowned, and said, "Why don't we go to the village and find someone to inquire about the way." ”

I grimaced and said, "Why do you ask, I don't even know the names of the villages I walked through." Immediately, I turned my mind and asked, "By the way, didn't you also walk with Qiang Shun, do you remember the names of those villages?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Hui to answer, Qiang Shun hurriedly said: "We don't remember, we have been following Luo Wu and the two of them, we will follow them wherever they go, how can we have the time to inquire about the name of the place." ”

As soon as I heard it, I bared my teeth, yes, this time it was completely useless, Chen Hui said: "We don't have much water, let's go to their village to find some water first, and then think of other ways." ”

I nodded, and now it seemed that this was the only way to go, and the four of them quickly entered the village.

This village is not very big, nor is it rich, and the village is full of dirt roads, uneven heights. In the middle of their village, there is a temple, which looks quite ancient, a large courtyard, sitting north and facing south, with three earthen tile houses in it.

Walk to the front and see, the courtyard door is open, there is a plaque hanging on the top of the door, the words on it are still read upside down from right to left, what is the specific, I can't remember, it seems to be the Jade Emperor Temple, or the Jade Emperor Temple, anyway, it is Taoist.

A few people stood at the door and looked inside, from the courtyard gate to the hall, a stone-paved path, more than one meter wide, there was nothing in the courtyard, but next to the door of the east house, there was a pressurized water well, seeing the pressurized water well, four people were happy, and stepped into the courtyard.

There seemed to be no one in this temple, Chen Hui took out the incense from the baggage and went directly to the hall. The three of us took out the kettle or something, all of which were used to hold water, and came to tinker with the pressurized well. Fortunately, the groundwater level here is OK, the pressurized water well has been pounded a few times, and the water has come out, but after the water comes out, it is muddy, and it seems that no one has used it for a long time.

At this time, Chen Hui came out of the hall, beckoned the three of us, and asked us to kowtow to the immortal family inside, and he himself walked into the West House again.

The three of us walked into the hall and saw that it was actually the Jade Emperor, and the statue was majestic and solemn, and each of us kowtowed a few times. Coming out of the hall, we entered the West House again, and it was offered to the Queen Mother of the West, and we kowtowed to the Queen Mother of the West a few times.

The door of the east room was closed, and the latch was still inserted, Chen Hui actually opened the latch at this time and walked in.

After we kowtowed, we came out of the West House, and Qiang Shun asked me: "Yellow River, why is there no one in their temple?" ”

I was about to answer, you don't care if he has anyone or not, but before he could say anything, an old woman walked in outside, and the old woman was carrying a white basket in her hand. It's the kind of basket made of flat strips in the past, I can't describe the specifics, in the past, we had it in every house, it was very popular, but now it's basically invisible.

The old woman was stunned when she saw the three of us, but then she smiled at the three of us and said, "Here we are." ”

This "coming" is a greeting and a greeting. As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood that this old woman was watching the temple, and hurriedly smiled at the old woman and nodded, at the same time, my eyes lowered, and I glanced at the basket on her arm, which was bulging, and it seemed to be yellow paper incense or something.

Chen Hui came out of the east house at this time, and the old woman turned her head to look at him, dressed in a broken Taoist robe, with a hairpin on her head, and immediately surprised: "Daoist? ”

Chen Hui was stunned for a moment, glanced at the old woman, and hurriedly shook the Taoist gesture and gave the old woman a salute, and the old woman also hurriedly rolled the basket, folded her hands, and returned the gift to Chen Hui very religiously.

Originally, this was the end of the matter, we kowtowed, the water was connected, Chen Hui said politely to the old woman, and we were about to leave.

Who knows, but the old woman stopped us from leaving, mainly to stop Chen Hui, the old woman asked Chen Hui, which immortal mountain to become a monk, how many years of cultivation, etc.

Chen Hui replied one by one, saying that he followed his master Xin Yangzi in his teens and became a monk in Huanghua Cave, and has been cultivating for more than 50 years.

The old woman was very happy when she heard this, and asked Chen Hui again, since he is a Taoist priest and has practiced for so many years, will he consecrate the statue?

Chen Hui was stunned when asked, and Chen Hui said that although he had practiced for so many years, he had spent most of his time wandering around the world, rarely registered in Taoist temples, and had never opened the light for the statue.

The old woman was very disappointed when she heard this, so Chen Hui asked the old woman if she had just entered the east house and looked, and the face of the god in the east room was covered with a red cloth.

The old woman nodded, and said with a disappointed face, I was going to open the light of Laba the day after tomorrow, and the invitations were sent out, who knows, the old Taoist priest who can open the light here suddenly passed away two days ago, and now I can't find anyone who can open the light.

When Chen Hui heard this, he frowned, and said to the old woman that he would also open the light, and he used to see the master consecrating the statue, but he had never opened it with his own hands.

As soon as Chen Hui said this, the old woman immediately turned her worries into joy, and said to Chen Hui, there is always a first time in everything, the old Taoist priest who opened the light here has only been practicing Taoism for more than 30 years, and you have been practicing Taoism for more than 50 years.

At this time, I also frowned, why, because I heard the old woman mention "Laba". This dog's day, I said why is it so cold these days, it snowed a while ago, and it turns out that it has entered the wax moon now. After "Laba" is the New Year, this blinking, I can't believe that I have been away from home with Qiang Shun for half a year, and my heart is bitter and sweet, especially not a taste.

The old woman pulled Chen Hui and didn't let him go, she insisted that Chen Hui stay, and let Chen Hui consecrate the statue that day.

Chen Hui couldn't help it, he looked at me, I also looked at him, smashed his mouth and didn't speak, I mean, you can do it, anyway, this year's New Year, it seems that I can't go home, even if I delay for a few more days, I won't be in a hurry. However, I immediately remembered one more thing, I remember that the old snake told me that if you want to break this bronze medal, you must take four days, that is, in a year, only four days can break the bronze medal, which are "the first yang", "the positive yang", "the double yang", and "the end of the sun". It's the sixth day of the lunar month now, and it's not a few days before the "end of the sun" this year, do we really want to delay here for a few days?

Then I thought about it again, forget it, leave it to fate, breaking the bronze medal not only has to meet the day, but also to find a suitable place, along the way, I haven't met a suitable place.

Why did I regret agreeing to the old snake before, just because not only is it difficult to find the object of the broken bronze medal, even if you find it, you have to find the place where the bronze medal is broken, and you have to go on a suitable day again, the three are indispensable, and the trouble is very great.

Chen Hui couldn't stand the old woman's forced persuasion, and in the end, several people stayed. The old woman was very happy and immediately arranged a place for us to live, right next to the temple, a small courtyard, two dilapidated clay tile houses. The old woman said that this was their old house in the past, and now that the children are older, they have all moved out and built a new house, and the old house is empty and no one lives in it.

The old woman led us to the house, and there were some broken furniture, and there were three broken wooden beds, although the place was a little broken, it was not bad.

The old woman brought some bedding from home, plus our own bedding, and made a bunk on the bed, which was very good, at least much better than drilling straw stacks. The old woman also promised to take care of us three meals a day.

That day was the sixth day of the lunar month, and there was nothing wrong. The next day, on the seventh day of the lunar month, I was a little busy, and I followed the old woman and a few people in their village to work on the opening of Laba.

On the seventh day of the new year, I went back to sleep in the old house that night, but I couldn't sleep when I lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and I didn't know what was going on.

I just watched like this, keeping my eyes open until dawn, and I didn't know how I came to this night, as if it was dawn in the blink of an eye. I said in my heart, it's Laba today, shouldn't the old woman make us some Laba porridge or something?

While thinking, he sat up from the bed, glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment, I was the only one in the room. When I went to bed at night, Chen Hui slept in one bed alone, Silly Niu slept in one bed alone, and I slept in one bed with Qiang Shun, all in the same room. At this time, all three of them were gone, except for me, and I wondered to myself, where had they gone?

The quilts and mattresses were very thin, and we all slept with our clothes, so I quickly lifted the quilt and rolled over and got out of bed. The door was open at this time, after putting on my shoes, I looked into the courtyard, there was no one in the courtyard, I held my breath and listened carefully, quietly, there was no sound at all, my heart sank, not good, it seems that something is really going to happen......
