Chapter 31: The Doll on the Thief
I'm crazy!
I'm out of the body!
At this time, I felt as if I was floating in my own room, looking at my body in a daze, and my heart was pounding!
Wait, does the soul have a heart? The soul has a fart!
I was wondering, when I saw a person squatting next to my bed, this person was tiptoeing beside me, and his hand was tightly dragging the black jade Xuanji hanging around my neck, and I saw the dagger in his hand trembling slightly, and the black jade hanging rope fell in response.
When this person turned around, I looked at it and was even more shocked!
This person turned out to be Lin Tianbao!
Lin Tianbao didn't seem to see my soul, he took care of himself and put the ink jade he had taken into his arms, looked around for a moment, and then tiptoed away from my chamber.
As soon as he went out, I was shocked!
I found that I had involuntarily floated out with him.
Still coming?!
I recalled the experience of floating from Zizhu Qiongtu to the church, and I didn't expect to do it again!
I subconsciously shouted, "Catch the thiefβ"
But no one seemed to be able to hear my voice, I was in a hurry, and shouted a few more times, so that my voice was hoarse, and it was useless!
Then I gave up.
What else can I do if I don't give up?
The thief can't hear himself, and who can I expect to hear?
At this moment, this Lin Tianbao did not react at all, he walked cautiously all the way from my wing, and avoided several maids in a row, there is no way who called him to be the next person of my family, he is more familiar with the way than anyone else.
I had no choice but to follow, and I didn't care after floating for a while......
Float away! Float hard!
You float hard for me!
I puffed up my anger and followed Lin Tianbao from the garden to a rockery against the wall, and climbed out of the wall in three times and two times.
As soon as Lin Tianbao's feet landed, he looked around for a moment, found a dark corner and took out the black jade, licked his tongue, and said to himself: "This thing doesn't look like a treasure!" Why did it shine that day? β
He sighed, then muttered, "Since you can shine...... It shouldn't be anything ordinary...... Cough! No matter, take it to the gambling house first! β
He had only walked a few steps, then stopped again, and said to himself, "No! If he is caught by Wu Liangxing, a bastard, what if he wants to force me to repay my debts? I've got to find something to hide it......"
"Where are you hiding?" He touched his chin and walked around the market in front of my house, it was already night, and I didn't know what time it was, anyway, there were not many people in the dark-lit market, and it looked like it was about to end.
At this time, Lin Tianbao's eyes lit up, and he saw that a grocery stall not far away was still lit, and a woman was neatly packing up the things on the stall, and it seemed that she was ready to close and go home.
Lin Tianbao took three steps and ran to the vendor in two steps, "You wait!" I still buy things! β
The woman lazily replied, "What do you want to buy?" β
Lin Tianbao touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Is there anything for children to play with?" β
The woman was probably tired, so she threw something out casually, and said angrily: "It's almost finished, look at this thing!" β
As soon as this thing was thrown out, Lin Tianbao looked down, it turned out that this was a rag doll, this rag doll was a doll, there was a hidden pocket behind the doll, Lin Tianbao took out the ink jade and stuffed it into his pocket, just right!
He was immediately overjoyed, but in a blink of an eye, his face straightened again, "You thing, tattered, how much does it cost?" β
The woman casually asked for a price, "You can give three copper dollars!" β
When Lin Tianbao heard this, he opened his mouth and scolded: "You might as well rob it!" β
The two of you argued back and forth for a few words, and it is estimated that this woman also wanted to hurry home, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, I won't fight with you anymore, a big man is as noisy as a mother-in-law!" β
"Anyway, this thing is also picked up, you give a copper dollar to get it!"
"That's what it sounds like." Lin Tianbao snorted, took out a copper dollar and threw it to the woman, pinned the doll to the belt on his waist, turned his head and left!
I floated behind him, and inadvertently glanced at the doll, which was okay not to look at, and I was shocked when I saw it!
Didn't I buy this doll?
There are many rag dolls in folk handicraft workshops, but this doll, I dare say, is the only one in Nambu County!
Because I bought this doll in a French foreign store in Nanchang, I recognized it at a glance.
Why did I buy this doll?
I bought it as a gift.
Not for the family members, but for the two children.
These two children are two acrobatic artists, the eldest is called Dazhu at the age of 10, and the younger is called Xiaozhu at the age of eight.
They are the people in the Ningde area, their mother's family was originally an official eunuch's family, their father was rich, and then the mother's family had an accident and became poor, and the mother couldn't stand the toss A year ago he fell ill and died, their father had no choice but to take them out of Ningde, ready to go to Nanchang to seek refuge with their grandmother, but something happened on the way.
This change is that when they went all the way to Nanwu County, their baggage was touched by thieves, and it became a problem to eat without a plate. Their father has some juggling skills and wants to earn some money here, but his legs are a little disabled, so he can only rely on two children to juggle to support the table.
Originally, it was also a thing that could be done in a month, but what did they think that people were not as good as the sky, their father suddenly suffered from a fever, and when he pulled it to my father's pharmacy, he had his last breath left, my father was a barefoot man, how could he have the ability to come back to life, and the two children watched their own father disappear like this.
Because they were in a hurry, their father left a small red flag before he died, saying that their grandmother understood it at a glance, and wrote them the address of Nanchang, and then they died.
My father also saw that they were pitiful, and wanted to give them some plates to go to Nanchang, but this big pillar was a backbone child, saying that his mother had taught him, and those who wanted food wanted other people's poor money, and they had craftsmanship on them, and if they wanted to live in this world, they had to rely on their true skills, so my brother and sister were here to temporarily sell art for a living.
I actually understand the mind of this child, he is a good and filial child, presumably because their father died in a foreign land and was buried here, as the eldest son, he does not want his father's bones to be left alone in a foreign land!
He probably thought that if he could find his relatives, he would set up his father's tomb, and then escort him all the way back to the ancestral grave to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
Later, Dazhu entrusted us to help find this address when we went to Nanchang, and he asked me to take the little red flag to find their grandmother, saying that he would come back and inform them once he found it.
I admired this pillar, and I accepted it without saying a word, I thought it would be an easy thing, but I thought I would find the address and ask, only to know that their grandmother had already passed away, and the house had already been sold by the next person, and there were no other relatives around.
I didn't give up, I inquired and inquired, and I heard that their grandmother was abandoned, and there was a grandfather before, but he was not a native of Nanchang, and his whereabouts were unknown after leaving Nanchang in the early years, and I looked for it several times but didn't find it.
Since they can't find their relatives, they have nowhere to go, so they have to stay in this Nanwu County has been selling art for a living, and now it's been almost half a year, and I didn't help them find their relatives, I felt very guilty, so I bought this doll and gave it to Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu liked it very much, and held the doll to play in the Nanmen Market every day.
I didn't expect this doll to be pulled here now!
I thought about it for a moment and suddenly my heart was shocked!
This doll pillar is like a baby, and it is hugged tightly on weekdays, how could it fall here, could it be that something happened to them?
I thought about it again, and cursed in my heart: What are you thinking nonsense! What else can happen to a child as assertive as Dazhu? Maybe I didn't pay attention to it when I was selling art and closing the stall, so I'll buy another one another day.
For now, I'd better care about myself first, I'm out of my body, and I'm thinking nonsense.
I looked up at Lin Tianbao walking in front of me, wondering where this thief was going! I saw him come to a corner, and suddenly a white miserable hand came out from behind the corner!
This hand suddenly stretched out, and it startled me a lot!
But when I came back to my senses, I saw that there was a person hiding behind the corner, and this person reached out and grabbed Lin Tianbao's neckline, only to hear him scold: "You dog!" Where else do you want to run? β
Lin Tianbao was also startled when he estimated it just now, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he said with a smile on his face: "I didn't run!" I'm not here! β
After this person flashed out, I took a closer look and found that I recognized this person, this person's name was Wu De, a local gangster, and I heard that he had entered Yiguan Road later. At this time, Wu De wore a Taoist robe, and asked with a smile on Lin Tianbao: "What do you owe us the twenty oceans of Yi Guandao?" It's time to pay it back! β
Lin Tianbao nodded and said with a smile: "I don't have an errand in the Lu family!" I'll pay you back when I'm paid, and I'm not in a hurry! β
"Errand?" Wu De sneered: "Are you lying to the ghost? β
"I've heard about it, saying that you were kicked out by the Lu family, and now you have a butt of debts left!"
Lin Tianbao saw that the lie was discovered, and hurriedly said: "Then let me be in arrears for a few more days, can I promise to repay the money?" β
Wu De scolded: "Last time you said how many days to delay, last time you said how many days to delay, what's the matter, do you want to delay until you marry your daughter-in-law?" β
Lin Tianbao begged: "Then let me think of a way!" β
"Think of a fart!" Wu De scolded, and then asked, "Are you rich or not?" β
"I don't have any money!" Lin Tianbao's hippie smile is ready to play tricks.
Wu Dehe sneered a few times and said, "No money? If you don't have any money, come with me! After that, he couldn't help but pull Lin Tianbao forward.
The two of them walked all the way to the south, walked about two miles into the orchid garden, through the locust forest, and walked for less than a quarter of an hour, and gradually appeared in front of a ruined and broken tile house, I fixed my eyes and generally recognized this house, this is an abandoned land temple next to the cemetery of the orchid garden, no one has taken care of it for a long time, and I don't know what they are going to do here.
At this time, the roadside was surrounded by deep shade, and the hoarse cries of toads came and went, and when they bypassed a huge locust tree in front, this land temple was already close in front of them!
I was wondering, but I didn't expect that this originally pitch-black land temple suddenly burst into a ghost fire!
This ghost fire suddenly rose and floated in the darkness, which made my scalp tingle!
But when I took a closer look, I was relieved.
This fire is not a ghost fire, but a person in the room who has just lit up the pine seeds in his hand, and there are many pine butters in this pine seeds, which can be ignited at one point, so the fire is very fast.
The people in the room opened their mouths and scolded: "You still have the face to come back!" β
As soon as Wu De heard this voice, he hurriedly pushed Lin Tianbao into the room, lowered his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Xing, don't I want to make meritorious service to atone for my sins!" β
"I arrested Lin Tianbao, doesn't he still owe you Uncle Xing?"
At this time, the room gradually brightened, I looked up, and saw several people standing in the room, all wearing cyan robes, with two grass rolls on the ground in the middle, and a middle-aged man with a beard in the lead raised his eyes to look at Wu De, and sneered: "Look at the good things you did!" β
With that, the man lifted the straw sweep.
Wu De only glanced at it, and his head drooped, like a mouse seeing a cat.
I was also curious, so I took a closer look and was shocked!
There was a person wrapped in this straw mat, but this person's lips were black and there was no breath, and he had already become a dead corpse.
This thin and resolute face is very familiar to me!
This person is none other than Dazhu!
Another straw mat was also turned over.
Xiao Zhu's lovely eyes were tightly closed, her messy hair was scattered across her thin and petite face, her lips were tightly pursed, dried black blood clots were spilling from the corners of her mouth, and a pair of small hands curled up in her lower abdomen, clutching the patched placket tightly, as if trying to grasp the unattainable dream...... Dreams of reuniting with loved ones......
"Brother Fusheng, this candy is so sweet......
"There's still half of it, why don't you eat it......"
"I'm going to leave the other half to my grandfather......"
Xiaozhu smiled sweetly as if he was still in front of my eyes......
Hot tears welled up in my eyes......
Columella...... Big Pillar ...... I haven't helped you find your grandfather yet......
