Chapter 21: The Coming Little Buddha
We stayed in Xifeng for a week, and on the morning of the eighth day, I contacted the taxi driver and asked him to pick us up.
Perhaps this period of time is the most inexplicable day in my life, except for the years in Longshan's hometown.
I do one thing over and over again every day, but I enjoy it every day.
Wake up Zhou Yujia in the morning, watch the sunrise, accompany the old man up the mountain to pick some vegetables at noon, and from time to time run to the village of "the nearest" (the nearest place has to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads) to buy some daily necessities, and Zhou Yujia cooks for us in the evening, after eating, takes Zhou Yujia out of the mountain to see the stars, and goes home to sleep.
The sparsely populated mountains and wilderness are many times more beautiful than the city, and if nothing else, the Milky Way that can be clearly seen in the sky is not something that can be seen in the city.
With a gentle breeze and a sparkling galaxy, the scenery is truly intoxicating.
Having said that, after seeing the appearance of those unjust iniquities, I never dared to relax, and almost every night I would sneak around and observe the movements of those unjust iniquities at any time.
After some observation, and even forced myself to stay up for three nights, I was completely stupid.
Every night there will be a different kind of injustice going to the waterhole, and the injustices who have been to the waterhole the day before will always gradually dissipate between four and five o'clock in the morning of the next day.
They would each go deep into the mountains, not to the old man's hut, and I had not seen them since.
Every night is different, whether it is the breed or the appearance, it is different.
The only thing they have in common, perhaps, is that they react as if they were running away when they leave the waterhole
Basically, every injustice belongs to the type of panic, especially some living creatures, running away with a sharp hissing in their mouths, that scene, absolutely absolute!
"There are six thousand here, and I still have ten thousand in my bag, let's leave some for the old man?" Zhou Yujia and I sat side by side on the edge of the bed, flipping through our wallets and asking her, "How much is appropriate?" ”
"Let's stay more, this old man is not easy." Zhou Yujia said in a low voice, then quietly took out her wallet, handed it to me, got up and walked out of the room: "I'll go and help the old man cook some food, we have to leave in a while, you can get some in my bag yourself." ”
"Take a fart." I scolded and opened my wallet, pulled out five thousand tickets, thought about it again, gritted my teeth and took the backpack in my hand, opened it, and took out another five thousand.
This old man is indeed not easy, in the 21st century today, he still lives the days of old antiques, he has to pick water, and he has to light candles at night, this day is really not something ordinary people can survive.
Usually what to eat is not to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to catch fish, that is, to be helped by nearby villagers
Of course, none of the above is the main reason why I give so much money to the elderly.
The main reason is because he is an old man, just like an old man
Because of this, I felt sad when I saw him living this life, and I thought that he would go to the city or a nearby town to find a nursing home or something to live in first, or also move and live with the nearby residents, at least someone could take care of him in his normal life.
But this old man just won't move, and he won't move when he dies.
"I've lived here for so many years, and I've developed my feelings," the old man smiled when he told me about it: "It's also a trouble for others to go out, and I like the quietness here."
After the meal, another hour passed, and suddenly there was a whistle on the mountain road not far away, probably a taxi arrived to tell us to go out.
At my beckoning, Zhou Yujia ran into the house to pack her luggage, while I greeted the old man.
"Old man, I'll come to see you when I have time." I led the old man to the door, and waved to the driver to show my friendliness, to be precise, I wanted to express "Don't worry, I'm saying goodbye to people, don't drive away." ”
The old man didn't react when he heard my words, he patted me on the shoulder with a smile, and said tremblingly: "Pay attention to your body, work hard, and don't do some bad things." ”
"Don't worry, I'm a good citizen, all right." I laughed.
"I'm comfortable here, so you don't have to worry." The old man took off his cotton military cap, patted his snow-white hair with his hat, and then put it back on: "I have been on the battlefield, I have killed devils, I have experienced everything in this life, and now I want to be quiet, I want to live a quiet life."
Suddenly, Zhou Yujia walked out with a small bag on his back: "Brother Yi, the luggage is packed, you go and get it, I'll have a good chat with the old man." ”
I nodded, turned and went into the house, packing my bags.
When I came out, Zhou Yujia had already chatted with the old man, his eyes were red and he seemed to be reluctant, and he kept telling the old man to pay attention to his body and not to fall ill in this kind of barren mountains and wilderness.
"The old man is reluctant to leave." Zhou Yujia said in a low voice.
I thought about it, leaned into her ear and said, "Yujia, you wait for me in the car first, and tell the driver to be ready to step on the accelerator at any time." ”
"Huh?"
"Ahh I glared at her with no sense of majesty, Zhou Yujia shook her head helplessly, and obediently walked towards the taxi, and I was
Well, I put on a posture of leading the condolences to the masses, kindly shook the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you usually have to pay attention to your body." ”
"Huh?" The old man looked at me a little strangely, probably because he noticed that my expression was a little abnormal.
"Old man, we have to go, I really can't bear you, and I don't have anything to leave for you." I smiled helplessly, put the plastic bag with the banknote and a few packs of cigarettes in the old man's hand, and sighed: "This is the cigarette I brought, you keep it yourself, usually smoke less, although you don't smoke this love well, but"
Speaking of this, I sighed again, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked in the direction of the taxi, the old man didn't seem to come back to his senses, I looked sideways, and saw that the old man was opening the bag and looking inside!
Open the door, get in the car, and then I point the way.
"Let's go!!"
I thought the old man would chase him out and give me back the money.
I thought the old man would scold him and say that I looked down on him.
But when I turned my head, I saw this scene.
The old man stood tremblingly outside the door of the old house, looked down at the bag, raised his wrinkled hand and wiped his eyes, but did not raise his head for half a sound.
"Let's go, go back." I turned my head back and coughed a few times to hide my abnormality.
"Let's come and see the old man when we have a chance in the future."
"Hmm." My nose was a little sore, and I muffled in agreement.
The reason why I chose to give money to the elderly instead of buying food directly for the elderly is simple
I forgot, and when I got in the car, I realized that I was grass.
So I could only choose to send money first, anyway, the nearest village is not too far from here, this old man often walks that road is very familiar, and it is not difficult to buy some food and drink.
"Come when you have the chance." I said, leaning back in my chair slightly, thinking about when I would bring my equipment over and fix the waterhole, after all, that place is a place that attracts injustice, and it is not a good thing.
I didn't know it at the time, and what I said about having the opportunity to come back was not an empty phrase that I would forget when I went back, but I did come after a long time.
As God destined it, I had to come.
It's just that I was no longer me at that time.
On the way back to Guiyang, I thought about a lot of things, a lot of things that I didn't want to think about.
For example, the little Buddha arranged something for me.
Judging from his temperament, I can't hide from this, and even if I dodge, the people around me may have to be retaliated against by this grandson.
I can't take this risk, but if I had listened to him, I'd have to take another risk.
After thinking about it, I think it's better to wait for him to come to Guiyang, make friends with Lala, and talk about it well.
Maybe he'll let me go if he's soft-hearted? If we hadn't protected him last time, this grandson would have been arrested by Zhang Liguo.
"Little Buddha, have you been busy lately?" I saw that Zhou Yujia was asleep, so I took out my mobile phone, dialed the phone number of Little Buddha, and said with a smile: "When did you come to me?" ”
"Ming'er went to Guiyang, and I was about to call you today, what a coincidence." Little Buddha couldn't help but sigh.
"I'll pick you up when I get to Guiyang tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Cheng, then I'll pick you up tomorrow and give me time." My heart is relieved, this grandson seems to be in a good mood, and he can talk about it tomorrow
Afterwards, I understood an important thing, the temper of the little Buddha really can't be described as moody, that is not at all accurate.
The temper of the little Buddha is the temper of a madman, and you can never understand what he thinks.
Maybe it's because of him that many people find it difficult, everyone thinks they guessed this brainless stupid move, but they die at his hands every time.
"Little Buddha's brain is easy to use, not much worse than me, but he doesn't like to use it." The master said to me a long time later: "Actually, everyone has their own favorite tricks, or ways of dealing with the world, like me, I love to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, and Little Buddha"
"Take the head of the enemy general among the thousands of troops." The master said what seemed to be forced, set up the chessboard in front of him, and flew across the Chu River Han Realm with a pawn that he had never moved, and ate the handsome man in front of me in a dozen steps.
As he said, the little Buddha is just like this pawn, he will never tell you any rules.
"He never plays according to the rules, so there are very few people who can beat him, just like this move." The master smiled: "Little Buddha can use a pawn, and he has eaten your handsome across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers." ”
Maybe the logic of a madman is the most direct and effective, at least Xiao Buddha is such a madman, a madman who is afraid of many people.
Of course, that's all for later.
"Tomorrow morning's plane, half past eight."
"Okay, I'll pick you up."
