Chapter 10 What a big pit
"Okay, kneel down and kowtow!" Lei Hong stepped aside and let the offering table out entirely.
There were two futons on the ground that had been prepared after the corn leaves were dried, and the brothers knelt on it with serious expressions and kowtowed respectfully to the genealogy and the tablet, which was regarded as informing the ancestors.
"Get up, frightening, go get some water. ”
"Okay. Thunderbolt replied. I got up and went to add water.
Before he could get up, he heard a series of "oops" behind him. Looking back, Sanjo rushed into the hall from the courtyard. The hall was not big, and as soon as the tall and burly physique of the three men entered, they seemed even smaller, and they saw the three people rushing towards him, and the people on both sides made him bump into him, thinking that the horse was startled!
Lei Jingyu froze in place, watching the two big copper bell-like eyes of the three strips getting closer and closer to him. I wanted to hide, but it was too late. "This horse is really shocked, no, I look at it with a determined look in my eyes!" That's all the things that Thunderstorm could think of before he fell unconscious.
"Bang!" the three huge heads arched over Lei Jingyu's body. Suddenly, the entire ancestral hall was like an earthquake, the dust on the beams of the house fell down, and the entire ancestral hall was full of black smoke and miasma. By the time the crowd reacted, they couldn't see anyone clearly, so they had to greet each other and walk out while groping. After everyone came to the courtyard, Lei Hong found that Lei Jingyu and Sanjo did not come out, and there was no sound in the house. Lei Hong was in a hurry at that time, the ancestral hall collapsed and could be rebuilt, and his son was still inside!
As soon as everyone saw the situation, they found that there was no danger, and they all picked up the appropriate guys and returned to the ancestral hall to help fan the ashes. When the dust cleared, everyone was dumbfounded, and there was no thunderstorm in the room? I saw Lei Hong standing with his back to everyone and shaking his shoulders in the place where the offering table had been placed, and the offering table had been overturned to the side. There was a large pit more than two meters wide at his feet, and the pit was pitch black and bottomless.
Lei Hong's eyes were red, and he yelled, "Find someone!" Lei Mu and Lei Feng directly lay on the edge of the pit and shouted inside, "Shocking rain, shocking rain, can you hear it? Shocking rain, shocking rain, are you in it?" Lei Mu cried out in a hurry as soon as she shouted two sentences.
The crowd got busy again, and searched the whole house to make sure there weren't. So they all gathered around the big pit again.
"Big brother, it's the most likely place now, I've looked for other places!" Lei Ming said.
"Alas, how could such a thing happen. Second, take a rope and a flashlight, I'll go down and find it. ”
"Dad, I'd better go down!" Lei Jingfeng stood up and left.
Soon Lei Feng came back with a rope, which was thirty or forty meters long. Thunderstorm tied the rope around his waist in a slipknot and tied the other end to the heating pipe. Take out your phone and call up your flashlight.
Thunder Storm stepped closer to take a look, and the inside of the pit showed an unnatural blackness. It's daylight outside, and no matter how dark it is in this ancestral hall, you won't be able to see even a meter clearly. But that's the way it is, after a distance of one meter in this pit, let alone see clearly, you can't see anything at all, as if a piece of sunglasses has been installed in that position, deep and weird.
Lei Feng was frightened, "I'll go down first, and you listen to my command to put the rope." Kicking on the edge of the pit, moving down a few steps and leaning against the wall of the pit, everyone pulled the other side of the rope together, and went down little by little. The sharp-eyed man found that when the thunder storm went down more than a meter deep, he couldn't see it above, and then the weight of the rope and the response from shouting him confirmed that he was still below and that there was no danger.
After only a short pause, the rope stopped moving.
"Loosen the rope, in the end!" shouted Thunderstorm below.
"What the hell is the rain?" asked Lei Hong anxiously. But my heart is a little more stable, such a shallow pit, even if I fall, it won't fall too badly.
"Dad, it's so deep, you wait a minute, I'll take a look. ”
"Shocking wind, shocking rain, not down there. Lei Mu asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll take a closer look!"
After about ten minutes, Thunderstorm pulled the rope underneath and said, "Pull me up." ”
Together, everyone pulled the thunderstorm up, and nothing changed except for a little dust on their heads.
Looking at everyone's anxious eyes, Lei Jingfeng said, "Don't ask, I'll say it myself!"
"The pit below is bigger than the top, it can be about ten square meters, and there is nothing except a big pit!
"No, no, no!" There was not much delay between the time everyone went out and came in, and everything inside and outside the house had been turned over several times, and the only possibility was in this pit. I didn't find anyone, what do you mean?
Looking at Lei Hong and the suspicious expressions of everyone, Lei Jingfeng emphasized it again. "No, I've found every corner of the pit, and there's no other passage or anything. It's very dark, and the distance from which the flashlight shines is limited. ”
"You go find two strong flashlights, and then go down with you personally, and look for it again!" Lei Hong was anxious again.
"Okay Dad, I'll go now. ”
Lei Jingyu retrieved the flashlight, and the neighbor's uncle followed him down again, but still found nothing.
For the last time, a total of six people went down with Lei Hong, not to mention looking, almost touched the pits below with their hands one by one, and found nothing, and there was no trace of thunder and rain and three. None of them noticed that the small box under the offering table had disappeared with it.
Lei Mu was already crying on it, but there was no way, it was such a big place, and everyone had looked for it three times.
"Otherwise, call the police, let the police come and take a look, maybe you can find something. The neighbor next to him said.
"Alas, that's all there is to it. Lei Hong frowned, and really couldn't figure out what was going on! How could such a big man and such a big horse disappear without even leaving a single hair?
After about 20 minutes, three policemen came to the town's police station. After launching a series of investigations, they came to the conclusion that there was no trace of a person or a horse in the surrounding area, including the pit, and if it weren't for the fact that there were many people who could prove it, and that they were also familiar with Lei Hong, the police would have wanted to take a few people back to ask if they were making fun of them! However, seeing that everyone was serious, they still filed a case and prepared to go back and organize people to investigate again.
After tossing for most of the day, this matter came to an end. "Everyone is tired for a day, let's go back and rest, thank you for your help to my Lei family, Lei Hong remembers it in his heart!"
"What are you saying, this is not only your family's business, but also the village's business, as it should be!" everyone greeted each other and went home.
Lei Feng and Xiu'er supported Lei Mu in front, and Lei Hong and Lei Ming followed behind.
"Big brother, why is this so weird!" Lei Ming asked when he saw that Lei Hong had been muffled and did not speak.
"Well, no matter what, if you don't see anyone, does that prove that the rain is not a big problem? ”
"Didn't Lao Dao say that Shocking Rain is not an ordinary person, could it be that he has this in his life? But where did the person go?" Lei Hong whispered, unable to control the old tears. But I didn't want to disturb Lei Mu, who was just a little emotionally stable in front of me. Twitching and twitching, trying to suppress his voice.
After settling down with Lei Mu after arriving home, Lei Hong leaned on the sofa and carefully sorted out what happened today, and fell asleep without feeling it.
Early the next morning. "Where's the shocking rain, is the shocking rain coming back?" said Lei Mu when she opened her eyes.
"Juan'er, I know where the rain went! Don't get angry! Your son is lucky!" Lei Hong hurriedly entered the house and pressed Lei Mu on the bed, sat at the head of the bed and said to her.
"Lucky?" asked Lei Mu puzzled.
"Yes, I had a dream last night! I dreamed that Lao Dao told me that he had taken our shocking rain away and went to the place where he practiced to learn supernatural powers. Lei Hongxi said with a smile.
"Dreaming?" Lei Mu had just woken up, and her head was a little less awake. After listening to what Lei Hong said, he didn't react for a while, and looked at Lei Hong with a smile.
"You didn't understand what I said, I just don't know where his cultivation place is, and the old Taoist will naturally tell us in the future, so let us rest assured!"
"Lao Hong, are you crazy?" Lei Mu raised her hand and touched Lei Hong's forehead.
Lei Hong knocked Lei Mu's hand away, "You're crazy, what I said is true." ”
"You're not crazy, you're not crazy, you believe in your dreams?"
"Let me tell you, Juan'er, there are many things we don't know about in this world. Don't you believe the magic powers of the old way? As far as the things he predicted and the kung fu of treating the three lame legs, which ordinary man could say it and do it?" Lei Hong was deceived for a moment, but said with an extremely serious expression!
Lei Mu digested his words for a while, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. You can rest assured, the real person said that the rain is now the time to lay the foundation, and it cannot be disturbed. Tell us where we are in a while, and let us go see him!"
"Then why do you have to do it this way?
"Isn't this just that I'm afraid that you won't be reluctant, so I used this sudden way. You're going to go to school in the rain, and you'll be back after a while. ”
"Oh, really, you didn't lie to me!"
"Have I lied to you after we have been married for so many years? Okay, don't worry, you lie down again, I'll get you some porridge to drink." Well-behaved, obedient. With that, Lei Hong helped Lei Mu down again and covered the quilt.
"Okay, you can't lie to me!"
"I don't lie to you, I don't lie to you!" Lei Hong turned around and went out, and the tears that he had held back for a long time finally flowed.
"Oh, I'll go! You're going to die, you're going crazy! I'm about to fall apart!"
Thunderstorm lay in the grass on the ground, and laboriously turned his head to look at Sanjo, who was also lying on his side in the grass, and cursed.
