I began to look around and found that the layout around me seemed a little unfamiliar, and I looked up and was about to tell Ding Xiaosheng, who covered my mouth and pointed outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Another person walked in at the door of this temple, and walked to the front of the main hall in a hazy way, groping for the candles. Only then did I see clearly that this person was none other than the old bachelor Zhang Lao Wei in our village. In fact, Zhang Laowei was not a single person before, and his temper was not weird. In the past, Zhang Lao Wei had a wife named Cuixiang.

When Zhang Lao Wei married Cuixiang, Cuixiang was the widow of a man who had just died in the outer village, and she had a posthumous child in her belly. So Cuixiang was married to Zhang Laowei with a belly, and later Cuixiang gave birth to a girl named Xiaoya.

Zhang Lao Wei regarded Xiaoya as his own, but Cuixiang felt that she did not give Zhang Lao Wei a biological child, and she felt guilty in her heart. So Cuixiang deceived Zhang Laowei to let herself get pregnant with Zhang Laowei's flesh and blood, and Zhang Laowei was naturally very happy to learn that Cuixiang was pregnant with her child.

However, this news somehow reached the ears of the village chief, and family planning was grasped tightly in those years. So the village chief forced Cuixiang to induce labor, and the child in Cuixiang's belly was almost nine months old at that time, so she was naturally reluctant. Zhang Laowei went to the village chief's house every day to intercede, but the village chief simply bought Zhang Laowei's account.

One day, the village chief led the people from the township family planning office and the health center to Zhang Laowei's house, blocked Cuixiang at home, and forced Cuixiang to induce labor on the spot.

Because Cuixiang is an advanced maternal age, coupled with the induction of labor in the big month, Cuixiang finally died of hemorrhage. After burying Cuixiang and the child, Zhang Laowei went to the door of the village chief and scolded him, and the village chief found someone to beat Zhang Laogui. After returning home, Zhang Lao Wei was seriously ill, and Xiaoya was only 10 years old at the time, serving Zhang Lao Wei alone. After Zhang Laowei's illness was cured, he had mental problems, sometimes good and sometimes bad. The character became unusually eccentric, and it didn't take long for Xiaoya to disappear, and the village was rumored to be that Zhang Laowei was sick and killed Xiaoya.

Thinking about it for 10 years now, Zhang Laowei's behavior has become more and more weird. often ran to Cuixiang's grave alone to talk to himself, and then often lived on the grave, and everyone said that Zhang Lao Wei was completely crazy.

At this time, Zhang Laowei began to kneel down under the statue of the earth lord god and muttered, not knowing what to mutter. But I see that his expression is normal in all aspects, and he doesn't look like a person with mental problems at all.

Suddenly, Zhang Laowei got up and began to blow out the candle, but no matter how he blew it, he couldn't blow it out. In the end, Zhang Laowei's expression changed, and he immediately kowtowed to the outside of the temple, and shouted excitedly: "Master, master, thank you for your guidance, I know, I know what to do!" ”

Then he ran outside, as if he was going to do something urgent.

"Why can't this candle be blown out?" I looked at Ding Xiaoshang strangely, and Ding Xiaoshang dodged down and grabbed a candle. I looked at it, sniffed it again, and said, "Oh, I see, no wonder those two people secretly came to change the candles!" ”

"What's wrong?" I took the candle in Ding Xiaoshang's hand and observed.

"You smell it and see what's different about this candle?" Ding Xiaoshang looked at me and said.

I put the candle on my nose, and as soon as I got close to my nose there was a strong smell of white phosphorus, as if it still smelled of alcohol. "White phosphorus?" I said.

"Yes, this candle is mixed with white phosphorus, and the bottom of the candlestick is covered with alcohol, so that person just now can't blow it out!" Ding Xiaoshang said.

"But why? Who changed the candles? What is the purpose? "I'm more curious.

"Do you know that person just now?" Ding Xiaoshang asked.

"I know, it's the old monster of our village!" Next, I told Ding Xiaoshang about Zhang Laowei.

After listening to what I said, Ding Xiaoshang fell into deep thought, and said, "No wonder, both of them appeared here at the same time, it turned out to be a grudge!" ”

"Then who sent those two young men who changed candles just now? They're not from our village! "I remembered carefully, those two men I had never seen at all. Also, it doesn't seem to be from a neighboring village.

"Come, come up and wait, someone will definitely come in a while!" Ding Xiaoshang commanded.

"Lord of the land, my lord of the land, save the people in our village!" Before the people could enter the door, the voice came in. The voice seemed familiar, and I looked carefully at the people who came in.

After a while, a hobbled old lady came in on crutches, and as soon as she entered, she fell on her knees under the idol and bowed her head.

"Grandma Qiao!" I almost called out, it's Grandma Qiao! Ding Xiaoshang saw that I was excited, and quickly covered my mouth, glared at me and didn't want me to speak.

I held my breath and looked at Grandma Qiao, who was kneeling at the bottom of the temple, the old man had gray hair and his face was full of wrinkles. In my memory, Grandma Qiao is a very kind grandmother, who walks very slowly with her little feet wrapped. She has been very good to me since she was a child, she is always smiling, and adults and children respect her very much.

No one knows how old she lived, but she lived for a long, long time anyway. No one knows her name, she has very skillful hands, and she always makes a lot of interesting things for us children, so she is called Grandma Qiao.

Because of her age and experience, she likes to ask her for advice when there are any major or minor things in the village. Although Grandma Qiao is very old, her brain is not confused at all, and she always tells us: "Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, people don't do bad things, God is watching from heaven!" ”

In the middle of the night, how could Grandma Qiao come to the Land Temple? And she looked anxious, I had never seen her so anxious before.

"Lord of the land, save the children in the village! They are innocent, they didn't do anything harmful! "Grandma Qiao knelt in front of the statue and wiped her tears, and I felt very uncomfortable when I saw it.

"As the saying goes, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor, you can't watch them hurt the innocent!" Grandma Qiao said, trembling and pulling things out of the package. It took a while to pull out a few small fruits and stand up with difficulty. I also stumbled and almost fell, which scared me a lot.

"Lord of the land, my wife doesn't have anything good to honor you, just these few little fruits, you can pity my old wife, I really can't bear to watch the children suffer!" Grandma Qiao put the little fruit on the tribute plate with trembling hands, and knelt down again.

"My wife has lived enough, Lord Land, you can take my old life, let those children not suffer, I really can't stand it......" said and cried sadly.

I looked at Grandma Qiao, and I felt very uncomfortable, and I wanted to rush down immediately to help Grandma Qiao up.
