Volume 2 Xia He Chapter 12 Mr. Wu Temple (2)
Behind the main hall was a small door, the door was open, and I pulled Ou Meiyu's wrist across the small door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info entered a narrow passage and walked about seven or eight steps before entering a hut at the back.
My heart suddenly froze, and Ou Meiyu suddenly leaned on me, and her mouth was already screaming.
In the middle of the room was a large coffin twice as large as an ordinary coffin, and four thin men, two men and two women, were gathered around the coffin facing us, as if trying to open the lid together. I yelled, "Stop!" Let go of Ou Meiyu, strode over, and quickly pulled them away from the coffin one by one, and found that there were Hu Hansan and Ou Yujiao among them, and the other guy was a classmate in Hu Hansan's class, I don't know the little girl, they all stared at the coffin blankly, and they had to lean over after pulling it open.
I was horrified in my heart, and eagerly took out a thunderbolt exorcism talisman with my left hand, and when I showed it in the wind, a ball of yellow light exploded, and the spirit talisman turned into dust, and at the same time, five thunder fires were sacrificed in my right palm, and I slammed out the coffin in the air, and turned my head and shouted to the shocked and overwhelmed Ou Meiyu: "Take them out!"
Ou Meiyu woke up suddenly, pulled Ou Yujiao and another little girl out, I pulled Hu Hansan and another classmate, retreated into the aisle, followed them, out of the aisle, exited the main hall, and arrived on the barren lawn outside the temple.
At the intersection not far away, the "celebrity" of the town who lives in the deserted temple stood there, wearing a shabby yellow military coat that I don't know who gave him, looking at us indifferently.
By this time, the sunset had hidden into the distant mountains, and the darkness was quietly swallowing the day. I paid no attention to the others for a while, and said to Ou Meiyu, "Don't stop, take them out of here and go to the river embankment."
After leaving the deserted temple, the four of them woke up as if from a dream. When I got to the embankment, I sat on the rocks one by one, and I looked back, the deserted temple had been blocked by the mouth of the mountain and could not be seen, and the unique figure of Pickup Lai was still standing motionless at the intersection, and the frost wind was stirring his long knotted hair backwards, and he turned to look in our direction.
At the three-arch bridge, it is indeed a "celebrity". He looked to be in his fifties, tall in stature, with long loose hair longer than a woman's hair, and a thick, dense beard that floated to his chest. He was wearing old clothes and pants given by some well-wishers on the town street, many of them were one size smaller, and they made people look very awkward when they wore them. Every summer, there are always a few people who like to play pranks and give him one or two old flower clothes and pants worn by the women in the family, which are tightly put on him, swaggering through the town streets, followed by a string of small tricks that have not yet gone to school, and singing in a laughing and laughing: "Pick up and pick up and wear flower clothes, the hair is long is a woman, there are no two lumps of flesh on the chest, and a beard covers the mouth......"
He also works, but whenever there is heavy work on the street that others don't want to do, they will ask him to do it, just give him a meal. He wanders around the town streets almost every day in winter and summer all year round, and every time he has a meal, he will choose a family, sit down by the door, and the host will send a little bit and leave, and he will not leave if he does not give it. At night he rested in the side room of the temple.
It is said that he was an abandoned baby who was picked up by the old temple of Mr. Wu's temple, so he was named Pick Lai. Lao Miaozhu hugged him and turned his fate, he grew up drinking hundreds of milk and eating hundreds of meals on the town street, and everyone found out that he was a demented child after a few years old.
There was still some incense in the temple before Lao Miaozhu's death, and it was not a problem to feed him, but after Lao Miaozhu's death, the temple door was locked, and the incense was broken, and no one cared about him, so he kept wandering in the town like this. For more than 30 years, he has lived freely without illness or disaster, and has become a special scene on the town street.
Of the seven or eight communes under the jurisdiction of the Sangongqiao District, I don't know who the district chief secretary is, and I don't know who I pick up. When people laugh at others for being stupid, they often say that you are stupid to death, and you are more stupid than picking up. Or that you are not innocent, that you are a haba...... He became synonymous with the demented stupid haba, and was mentioned when his neighbors made fun of others.
Even though it was a little far away, I could still see the eyebrows and eyes of the pick-up. His dull face was a little dirty, and because Chi's eyes were hollow, I couldn't make contact with his gaze, and I didn't know if he was really looking at us.
After a short moment, he slowly turned around and disappeared into the mouth. I also turned around thoughtfully, and just wanted to ask them why they ran into the deserted temple, when I heard Ou Meiyu, who was panting and pale, asking Ou Yujiao: "You disappeared in a blink of an eye, you said, why did you run into the broken temple?"
"I saw Hu Hansan and Xiaoyanzi in front of them, so I ran over, I thought you saw it......"
In Ou Yujiao's account, I roughly sorted out what happened.
Liu Deyong went to the street after dinner, met Tan Jianjian, a relative and classmate, and his sister Tan Xiaoyan, and the three of them went to the river embankment to look at the hibiscus flowers.
They walked in front of us, we stopped when Ou Meiyu's poetry was flourishing, Ou Yujiao was not interested in poetry, and when she looked around, she found her good friends Xiaoyanzi and Hu Hansan and Liu Deyong not far ahead, and ran over to meet happily.
The four of them walked forward in a hurry, turned the mountain mouth, and saw a few little girls in flower clothes playing a game in front of the deserted temple, very lively, when they walked over curiously, those people pushed open the door and entered the temple, at that time the four of them did not speak at all, there was only one idea in their hearts, follow up and see.
After entering the deserted temple, they were all confused, until we were taken out of the gate before they woke up like a dream, and now they feel very tired and tired sitting on the stones, and they are also very afraid.
"Was the temple door open when you passed?"
I asked Hu Hansan with a frown, he hesitated for a moment and said: "It seems to be open, I was ignorant, as if I was playing hide and seek with people, and I went in in a daze, I still dream, I vaguely remember that someone told me to open the cabinet inside, and no one could find it hidden inside."
Tan Jianshe said that it seems to be like this. Ou Yujiao and Xiaoyanzi said that there were a lot of flowers and toys hidden in the cabinet, so that they could try on and play to their heart's content.
"Cabinets?" Ou Meiyu and I glanced at each other. Ou Meiyu's little face turned pale, looking at me fearfully and melancholy, I shook my head gently at her, telling her not to talk nonsense, and then I spoke:
"Okay, it's okay. It's getting dark, just rest almost, we have to go back to school quickly, Tan Jianjian, you can also take your sister home quickly. ”
Ou Meiyu grabbed me and asked in a low voice, "Will they be okay?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. Don't tell your mother yet, let's talk about it tonight. ”
I'm afraid of scaring her, in fact, I feel that there is a chance that something will happen, tonight is the key, I have to feel tight to go back to the house to make some preparations, I am already planning to go to the deserted temple at night to find out.
I now have a small separate house in the school, and the row of empty houses next to the backyard was secretly approved by Principal Wang in order to take care of me and facilitate my practice.
According to the rules, I am not qualified to live in a single room as a student. On the surface, this house was allocated to Mr. Yang by the school. It is inconvenient for Teacher Yang to live in a room with her two daughters, which affects the office correction homework, and the house in the backyard is also empty, so in order to take care of Teacher Yang, the house is arranged for her two daughters to sleep. Helplessly, the girl was timid and afraid and refused to go, since the arrangement was made, Teacher Yang let me, a cub, live in. The principal didn't say anything, and because of his mother's face, individual teachers were not easy to mention even if they had opinions.
I have a good relationship with Principal Wang now, on the surface he is the principal and I am a student, but secretly he regards me as a friend. When we both returned from the embankment that night, he dragged me for a small half glass of wine. After I was dizzy, I said to him, "Principal Wang, you'd better talk to Director Huang and let him change houses, I'm afraid something will happen!"
Principal Wang was happy, drank a little more, patted my little shoulder and said:
"Xiao Meng, I am the people's teacher, how can I tell others this kind of ethereal ghost and god thing? What's more, even if I say it, Director Huang, will he believe it? I can't be the principal if I don't get it. Do you know? When your mother-in-law, Teacher Yang, told me that night, I didn't believe it either, and almost scolded her for talking nonsense. Later, she said that your master is the famous Zeng Shui Master Zeng Fanliang, and with your performance in single-handedly challenging Li Baochang and his gang, I was only half-convinced.
"Zeng Qingping of your village is the old director of our school and my teacher, Teacher Yang told me that you once cured his son's madness, which made me think of our family Xiaoxin. You don't know how painful our family is, even if there is a bit of hope, it is also hope! Dead horses are also live horse doctors, and that's why I decided to talk to you. I don't know what I was like at the time, but the sincerity with which you said that made me believe you at once...... You really have what it takes. You don't know, my mother is almost going to treat you as a fairy now...... Ha ha......
"As for Director Huang, you don't have to worry, I'll think of a reason for him to change houses as soon as possible......"
After returning to my house from the embankment, I closed the doors and windows, calmly drew a few spiritual runes, and only went to the classroom for evening self-study after the bell rang.
In the classroom, Liu Deyong sat with a pale face and languishing, and while people were not paying attention, I stuffed an evil charm into his pocket, told him to go to bed early, and then went downstairs to find his mother.
I need to understand the past of the deserted temple first. My mother is from the town, so she should know something about it.
In the house, my mother is grading homework on the desk. She is a math teacher in the second year of junior high school, teaching two classes of math and the homeroom teacher of the 35th class of junior high school, and has to prepare class and approve homework in the evening. When he saw me enter the house, he put down his workbook and asked:
"I haven't done self-study yet, is there something wrong with you coming to me?"
I nodded and asked, "What about Sister Yujiao?" Why don't you see her doing her homework? ”
"She was a little uncomfortable and slept in bed."
My mother pointed to the back of the curtain, and I took out an evil charm and handed it to her, "You will stick this charm on the head of the bed and let her sleep more soundly." Also, I want to inquire about the deserted temple on the side of Lion Rock, can you tell me about it? ”
My mother put the talisman paper in her pocket and asked me suspiciously, "What are you doing in the ancient temple?" Can I help you? ”
"It's not that there's anything wrong, I'm just a little strange, a ruined temple, what's the lock? You say not? I just wanted to ask you what you know. I prevaricated.
My mother looked at me, pondered for a while, and slowly told me a legend.
