Chapter 514: The Roadside Temple
Straight to the point. Leaving their village, the three of us went straight to the place where the car accident occurred, and now it is certain that it should be the old man's son who killed Lao Tian's wife, and what Qiang Shun saw on the tricycle just now must be the old man.
The three of us walked back along the asphalt road, and we didn't go far, and we saw a few people standing on the side of the road in front of us, and there was a dilapidated clay tile house on the side of the road, sitting north and facing south, and several people were standing under the west wall of the clay tile house.
When I got closer, I saw a total of six people standing, two people in pairs, face to face, six people into the word "product", two people facing us, one of them, is the old man, next to the old man, standing is a middle-aged man about forty years old, several people are the largest of these people, the old man is talking to the other four people at this time.
As he spoke, the old man glanced at us coldly, and was stunned for a moment, and said nothing, but looked at us again, and walked towards us without knowing what to say to a few people.
When we saw him coming, we hurriedly stopped and stopped seven or eight meters away from those people.
The old man looked very surprised, came to us, looked at us in amazement, and asked, "Little master, why are you here?" ”
I smiled at the old man and said very calmly: "Let's do something here, Daya, how is your son's affairs handled?" ”
The old man didn't look back, pointed behind him, and said, "Isn't this being handled, the two with the pencil clip bag are from the Public Security Bureau, the other two are the family members of the deceased, and the big man next to him is the boss of my family." The old man said and sighed, "My second child is here to kill someone, and the family of the deceased also wants to be private, they want too much, they want 300,000, I said that they can do as much as they want, but the eldest of our family disagrees." ”
300,000 yuan, according to our average local income at that time, like this kind of thing, the general compensation amount is about 10 to 150,000 yuan, and 300,000 yuan is a bit much.
I asked, "Daya, does the deceased still have a family, aren't all the people in his family dead?" ”
As soon as I said this, the old man was stunned, of course he didn't know why I knew so much about the deceased, the old man said: "There is no one in the deceased's mother-in-law's family, I heard that there is a younger sister, but she has never shown up, this is someone from someone's mother's family, don't you see those two people, those are the two younger brothers of the deceased." ”
Listening to the old man say this, I looked carefully at a few people, I didn't look at the old man's eldest son, I looked at the other four people, the two who were standing facing east, in fact, one was a young man, holding a pen and a notebook in his hand, and the other was holding a bag, looking at the temperament of these two people like that of the Public Security Bureau, especially this bag, about forty years old, like a captain and political commissar or something, but both of them were wearing plain clothes. Next to them, there were two people standing with their faces facing north, because they were facing away from us, they couldn't see their faces, yes, judging from their clothes and figures, they should be the two younger brothers of the deceased, that is, the younger brother of Lao Tian's wife.
At this time, a few people were still talking about something, and I felt that the two people from the Public Security Bureau might also think that they wanted a little too much, and they were doing mediation.
At this moment, the old man with the bag shouted at the old man and beckoned again, and the old man nodded at us, and hurriedly turned back.
The three of us had a pair of eyes at this time, and they were discussing business, so let's not go over to join in the fun, plus, Qiang Shun and I have never had a good impression of the people in the Public Security Bureau, but we didn't leave, just stood in place and watched them, and I saw a few of them, as if they were arguing, and it was quite intense, but we couldn't hear what they were arguing about.
After arguing for nearly half an hour, several people gradually stopped talking, and the young man with a pen and paper took out his mobile phone from his body and started to call, and the old man looked at us and walked towards us again.
The old man seemed to be relieved at this time, and came over and said to the three of us: "Settle down, settle down, 130,000 yuan, a car will come to pick us up in a while, and sign an agreement at their court." The old man immediately changed his words and asked, "Little master, ...... you How did you get here? ”
I replied, "We're here by long bus." ”
The old man said, "Then are your things done, if they are done, our car will be parked in their town, and I will ask the boss to take you back together." ”
I hurriedly waved my hand, "No need to do it, our business is not finished yet, after you compensate others, if your son is still like that, you can call me." ”
The old man nodded, and at this time, a van drove from a distance, and the old man hurriedly walked over, and several people got into the van and left.
After they left, Qiang Shun asked me, "Huang He, what else do we have to do now, why don't we go back with the old man's car?" ”
Without waiting for me to speak, Second Brother Yang hurriedly said, "Brother Qiang, what are you doing in such a hurry to go back, play with us for a day, and leave tomorrow." Then, Second Brother Yang looked at me and asked, "Brother He, there is no one in Lao Tian's family, what should I do with this 9,000 yuan, shall we ...... Do you also give this money to Lao Tian's wife's two younger brothers? ”
As soon as I heard Second Brother Yang's words, I felt a little unhappy in my heart for some reason, and said, "Even if I burn the money, I won't give it to them." ”
"What then?" Second Brother Yang asked, took the money out of his body, and stuffed it into my hand.
Qiang Shun glanced at the money and said, "Let's divide the money, three thousand per person." ”
I hurriedly stuffed the money into my pocket, looked at Qiang Shun and said: "This is dead man's money, we have a life to spend it, Lao Tian's wife is also dead, and now whoever spends this money will be unlucky." ”
Qiang Shun immediately stopped talking, and Second Brother Yang didn't say anything either. At this time, I glanced at the broken house on the side of the road, the earthen tile house, three meters high and three meters wide, the bottom is square, the top is gray tiled roof, there are two wooden doors in the middle, two wooden windows on both sides of the door, the door is not locked, half-hidden, the whole looks a little old, I asked Second Brother Yang, "Second brother, what is this broken house on the side of the road for?" ”
Second Brother Yang looked at the house, and said with a sigh: "This used to be a temple, and when I was young, people from ten miles and eight villages often came here to burn incense. ”
In fact, looking at the construction pattern of the house, I felt like an old temple, and when I heard Brother Yang say this, I couldn't help but walk towards the broken house.
As mentioned earlier, this house sits in the north and faces south, the west wall is next to the asphalt road, and there is a small dirt road at the door, which is connected with the asphalt road in a semi-arc shape, and it seems that this temple is not deserted, but there are fewer people who burn incense, and the small dirt road is only wide by one person, and both sides are full of weeds that have withered and yellowed.
Walking along the small dirt road to the small temple, there is a stone trough incense burner like a livestock trough at the door, maybe because it is next to the roadside, or because there are fewer people burning incense, and there is more dust in it than incense ash.
When I looked up and looked at the small temple, I saw that there was still a dilapidated plaque hanging on the temple door, and the handwriting on the plaque was blurred.
At this time, Second Brother Yang and Qiang Shun also came over, so I asked Second Brother Yang, what is written on this plaque? Second Brother Yang shook his head and said that he had only been to his grandmother a few times when he was a child, and he really hadn't paid attention to what was written on the plaque.
Walking to the temple gate, I pushed the temple door open, but before I could step into the door, suddenly a cold wind suddenly blew from inside, I was suddenly excited, stunned at the door, because this cold wind, actually I felt exactly the same as the old man's truck before, is this a coincidence?
Qiang Shun and Second Brother Yang saw that I was standing at the door and did not move, looking at me very strangely, I hurriedly asked the two of them, did you feel the cold wind just now, and the two of them shook their heads blankly at the same time.
I blinked a few times, what was going on? Could it be that Lao Tian and his wife's car accident have something to do with this small temple? But at the moment, it is certain that although the incense in this small temple is not prosperous, the aura is still there, and there are immortal families sitting in it.
Walk into the temple door, look inside, it's very miserable, full of dilapidation, the corners of the wall are hung with spider webs, the middle hall facing the door, there is a statue of a mud fetus, it seems that this mud tire may be a colored sculpture in the past, but now the painted pottery on it has fallen off, revealing the dark yellow mud embryo inside, mottled, but it is quite a match with the house full of spider webs.
I looked at the statue, and was stunned, this statue not only can't see which way the immortal family, I also found this posture is very weird, the statue of the god crossed his hands on his chest, looking up at the sky, in the temple I have never seen such a fairy, and looked carefully, just rushed to this posture, as if it is not a god, inexplicably it also gives people a sense of arrogance and weirdness.
I asked Second Brother Yang again, "Second Brother, why is this statue in this posture?" ”
Second Brother Yang said: "When I was a child, I heard my grandmother say that this is called 'Wangtian God', saying that he was a god who descended from heaven to the mortal world, cultivated in the world, looked up at the sky all day long, and thought about returning to heaven one day. ”
As soon as I heard Second Brother Yang say this, I laughed, most of these myths and stories were not credible, and I said: "According to what you say, what is written on the plaque at the door should be 'Wangtian Temple', it has been so many years, have the immortals in this temple returned to Heaven?" ”
Second Brother Yang shook his head and said: "I heard my grandmother say that in the past, it was very spiritual, and during the great famine in the 60s, he also apparition to send food to those who were dying of hunger, but it was smashed during the Cultural Revolution, and then it was built again, and it is not very spiritual." ”
I nodded, didn't ask anything, looked at the corners and corners of the small temple again, and then beckoned Qiang Shun to get the yin and yang eyes out to see the small temple, Qiang Shun didn't understand what I wanted to do, and I didn't explain to him.
Qiang Shun got the yin and yang eyes out, and after looking at the small temple in a circle, he shook his head at me, nothing.
I licked my lips, let's leave now and come back in the evening.
