Chapter 7 Leather Painting

The old cadres in military coats, the visual age is about to be more than seventy, people often say: people to seventy years are rare, but look at his posture, not at all like an old man who stepped into the coffin with half a foot, the spirit is much better than a few of us, after he entered the house and sat down, habitually took out a cigarette gun and lit it, took a sip, and then spoke, the voice was not the old Shaanxi dialect, but closer to Mandarin.

Later, I learned that the old village chief turned out to be an educated youth who went to the countryside back then, and then he didn't go back for some reason, so he stayed here and took root, because his knowledge was higher, so he became the head of the village, and he was a few decades.

But I don't think he's old anymore.

"You descendants, I have heard everything from Xiao Shen." The old village chief took another breath of dry smoke, and stared at me with a little cloudy eyes, "It's not easy to find people in this place, wow, you also saw it when you came over, the surrounding barren mountains and mountains, if you really want to hide someone, even if you transfer the mountains to one by one, it is difficult to find them." ”

I took a sip of the hot water that had just been boiled and asked sincerely, "Have you noticed any strangers coming to the village lately?" After all, this is such a big place, and if a stranger comes, it will not be possible to hide from your eyes. I said half-inquiringly, half-complimentingly, and winked at Hou Jun.

Hou Jun immediately took out an envelope and quietly stuffed it, but the old village chief didn't even look at it, threw the envelope aside, glared at us and said, "I'm so old, what are I doing with the money?" Do you want to buy a coffin, don't say if you are looking for someone, just say that you go to the place of Toutouyan, I don't approve of it, be careful to throw your life there! ”

At this time, Shen Laojiu hurriedly said: "The Crooked Bao Temple promises, and then the society twists out the Kadi, and then goes to the mountain fog to reach Kuang Kuang." (Didn't you just agree, and if someone else pays for it, I'll go to the mountains for a walk.) )

The old village chief waved his hand to sit down, "It's not about money, it's dangerous." The old hunters in our village are not like that, they are eerie and scary. ”

I thought that this old village chief was really an old stubborn, and I couldn't suppress the fire when I was young, so I said: "Tonight, let's sit for one night, let's go by ourselves, you can't still tie my feet, dare to tie it that is kidnapping, restricting my personal freedom." ”

As soon as I said this, the old village chief was stunned for a moment, couldn't help sighing, looked at Shen Laojiu with blame in his eyes, as if he hated iron and steel, and then got up and walked out, just walked to the door, looked back at everyone in the house, and said: "Hurry up and rest when it's late at night, and tomorrow morning, I'll find a few people to ask if they dare to go." ”

When it was over, he added: "Sleep well when you sleep, don't run out in the middle of the night, I know that young people are curious, the stone building over there is the ancestral hall of the village, you know what is in it, don't run in to see it, it's rude!" ”

Knowing that the old village chief left, I came back to my senses, and I was in a hurry that he was going to help us, Zhao Anyi shook my arm excitedly, "Yun Shen, if your third grandfather and second grandfather have been here, most of them can be found, and I can also get my father's diary back." ”

I snorted, somehow in my heart, I always felt that this matter was actually not connected with the disappearance of the third grandfather, let alone grandpa, but without any clues, it was really a blind man who felt the way, and one step at a time.

When the room was completely quiet, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, just wanted to pee, the old man next to him suddenly sat up straight, and looked at me with a pair of small squinting eyes, "Hehe, I knew you were the same as I thought, hurry up, let's go see what's in the stone building, he said ancestral hall, how can there be such a high ancestral hall." ”

I looked at the old egg a little speechlessly, I just wanted to go to the toilet, but I was still pulled out by the old egg, and after quietly going out, I touched the high shadow that stood in the dark.

When I walked to the stone building, I knew that the stone building actually had a height of six or seven floors, which really aroused my curiosity, everyone knows that the general ancestral hall is either repaired by the temple view is similar, and some are repaired like a Zhuangzi, and the high-rise building has not been seen before.

So we touched the direction of the door, found that it was locked, and couldn't help but say to the old egg in frustration: "The ancestral hall of the people, it must be locked, why didn't I think when I first came, there is not even a window around, I can't get in at all, I think forget it, go back to sleep in the cage, there will be busy tomorrow." ”

But the old man didn't do it, and the thief took out a wire from his pants bag and said in a low voice: "Don't think that I haven't learned anything from reading novels, look at my craft." ”

Good guys, read a novel, and will you unlock the lock? Isn't it a tomb robbery novel that I read, how did it become a thief's trick?

Zuo is an old copper lock, there is rust on it, but this kind of lock seems to be easy to open, the old egg buried his head a few times, the lock suddenly bounced, the old egg couldn't help but say happily: "The book is right, it really works." ”

I asked curiously, "What novel did you read?" ”

"The Thief's Self-cultivation" said the old man as he opened the lock and hung it aside, pushed the door and entered.

It's very dark inside, I turned on the flashlight I brought in advance, as soon as I entered the door, I found that it was wrong, there were no stairs in this building at all, and when I looked up, it was black and winter, and I couldn't see the end, as if there was no floor, and it was directly connected to the first floor. But it's really big inside, and there are earthy yellow pans hanging on both sides of the door, and there is something written on it that I don't have the heart to see.

Directly opposite is a very large high and low desk, covered with yellow cloth, each step is full of spiritual positions, I and the old egg around the half-human high incense burner, close to look at it for a while, the old egg can't help but be disappointed, just as I reminded him to hurry up, so as not to let people find out, I took two steps and found that he was still stunned in place.

couldn't help but pull his clothes, and then he came back to his senses and pointed to the top of all the spiritual positions, "Lao Li, look at it!" ”

I moved the flashlight up, and what caught my eye was a two-meter-high leather painting depicting the front of a figure, but at first glance, I was stunned, not frightened, but shocked by the beauty of the figure.

For a while, I couldn't find any words to describe, if I had to praise, I could only use the appearance of the country and the city to describe, it was lifelike, as if I would really come out of the painting, it took a while for me to calm down, and I saw that there were actually many holes in the painting, perhaps because of the perennial incense, some places were stained, and the whole painting was a little yellow and dry, it should be some years.

Lao Dan said with a dry throat: "Lao Li, you said that if there is really such a woman in this world, how beautiful it would be, I found that I actually fell in love with the person in the painting." ”

I thought differently from Lao Dan, I thought about why this painting is hanging here, who is the person on it, and what is her relationship with this village.

But one thing the old guy said is right, just the woman in the painting is beautiful like this, so if it is really painted according to a real person, how beautiful is that person? It must be much more beautiful than the painting.

In today's parlance, beauty is not like people.

At this time, I suddenly thought that the village was so close to the Toutou Rock, and it was rumored that the Yellow River Niangniang was also a beautiful thing, so could the beauty in the leather painting hanging on it be the true face of the Yellow River Niangniang?

Outside the stone building, there was a rooster crowing, I saw that the time had passed four o'clock, and quickly pulled the old egg who was still in an obsessed state to leave here, and re-locked the lock when he left, and returned to the old house.

After eight o'clock, there was a noise outside, and I rubbed my eyes in confusion and saw a group of sturdy men surrounding the courtyard.
