Chapter 38: The Sound of Flowing Water in the Temple
I swallowed my saliva, and now I have to bite the bullet even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
"Ma Dong, what did you see?" The cow yelled.
As soon as I heard Niu Fat's plan, I pretended to be stupid and shook my head, "I don't know, I didn't see anything." ”
At this time, a man who was watching the excitement on the side walked up to these women and said awkwardly to me. "There was a ghost there just now."
I pretended to be incredulous: "Don't fool me, what the hell?" No way. ”
A woman who didn't know where to bring in a bronze mirror-like mirror and looked at me, and I was afraid of what she would see on me.
After looking for a while, after saying a word to everyone, everyone put their minds at ease and did what they should do.
Zhang Qing on the side was already dumbfounded, walked up to a man, and asked puzzledly, "What was the situation just now?" ”
A man began to explain to us, "The little boy who screamed just now is a child of God, who can see things that we can't see, which is the person you said about the deceased, this person is not like a Vietnamese, and he should have come with you." ”
"Isn't that a ghost?" Zhang Qing exclaimed.
"No, it's the deceased, the mirror just now can reflect their location, they must have their reasons for staying in this world, just go to the master tomorrow to take a look, don't worry." A man explained.
Niu Pang and I looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
It was close to midnight before we went to sleep, I didn't know that the Vietnamese had such a great ability to find yin spirits and such a mirror, and now it seems that I need to take precautions early to avoid trouble for my uncle.
It was dawning, I woke up Niu Fat, and was ready to go out to ask Uncle about last night.
Niu Pang and I sneaked into a corner, Niu Pang let out the wind, I took out the bottle, and the bottle quickly gathered into the appearance of an uncle.
"Uncle, did you find it?" I asked.
Uncle sighed inside the bottle, "I didn't find your aunt." ”
As soon as I heard this, I didn't feel good in my heart, and after such a fuss, it didn't take any effort. "Maybe you're mistaken, let's look for it." I comforted my uncle, and my heart began to feel bottomless.
Uncle said at this time, "Yesterday the child was abnormal, and it was that child that attracted me." ”
"Uncle, how abnormal a child can be." Child? Children of God? It's pure, maybe it's the yin and yang eyes that often appear in novels, although I don't know if it's true or not, but the children of God are too.
Uncle shook his head in the bottle, "No, it's very problematic, I think this kid is very familiar, like it is." The uncle said this, looked up to the sky and thought for a while, "It's a bit like your aunt." ”
I was stunned for a moment, "Like my aunt?" How is it possible, one China and one Vietnam, the only connection is the aunt. ”
"Fuyuko, you can help me investigate that kid." Uncle stared at me.
I swallowed, "Uncle, what are you talking about?" I'm going to investigate? ”
Uncle nodded, "The child can see me, I can't get close, you can." ”
At this time, Niu Pang patted me on the shoulder, "A man is here." ”
I hurriedly put the bottle back in my pocket, patted the dust off my body, coughed dryly, and saw a man washing his hair under the tap of the running water. When we went back, Zhang Qing was not there, probably Zhang Qing's daughter-in-law came back, and the men in the house were scattered and ready to go home.
I sat on the bed, the bottle in my chest was buzzing, Niu Fat said to go out for a walk, in fact, to see the little girl, I arranged for him to do a job, that is, to find a child, this child to tell the truth as soon as he asked, who can see the ghost can find out.
A man came back from washing and saw me lying on the bed, and asked me, "Didn't you see a ghost yesterday?" ”
I don't know why he asked, but I could never say I could see, "No." "There is a lot to say.
A man scratched his head, "It's a coincidence, the position you are standing on is the location where the ghost appeared." ”
"Huh? A man, you can see the hell too? I asked cautiously.
A man shook his head, "A child of God can't go wrong. ”
As soon as I heard a man say that it was a child, I was relieved. After thinking about it, a man knew a lot about children, and took the initiative to approach him, "A man, whose family is this child?" ”
"It's not from our village, but he'll be there if there's no big thing in the family." A man said.
"And where is he?"
A man looked at me and frowned, "Town temple." ”
"The temple in town?" I'm puzzled.
A man looked at me with distrust in his eyes, "What are you going to do?" ”
I waved my hand, "It's okay, I'm just weird that the temple is still there." ”
This is a fool of the past. At present, our investigation has reached a dead end again, and asking a monk with such an identity is purely a slap in the face.
I was still thinking about it, when there was a gong outside, and then a woman's roar, and I thought something was wrong, so I immediately got up and ran outside. I saw several men in the middle of an open-air seat in the form of a pettison.
"This is a child of God coming home." A man's voice appeared behind me.
I turned my head to look, and there was a cloth bag on a man's body, and the cloth bag was bulging, and I looked at him puzzled, "You want to go too?" ”
A man nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"Then can we go and send God's children together?" I don't believe in God in my mother's heart, and this is definitely a ghost child who is spurned in China.
A man squeezed his eyes and looked at me, making me feel uncomfortable, "Forget it, the mountain road is not easy to walk." ”
I sighed and didn't say anything more, but I could tell what I meant, that there was no limit to who could see them off.
I hurriedly beckoned Niu Pang to set off together, but the man didn't say anything. After we had breakfast, we went on our way with the men, and four big men carried the child who was known as a god, me, Niu Fat, a man, and a woman followed behind. At first, the road was smooth, but after walking for more than half an hour, there was no road, it was full of stones, and I didn't walk often on these stones, and I broke the skin if I didn't pay attention.
After three hours of walking, we stopped at the foot of a cliff, and I was so tired and panting that I didn't even have the strength to speak.
After less than twenty minutes of rest, these people continued on their way, and Niu Pang probably wouldn't have been able to hold on without the middle-aged woman nagging in an incomprehensible Vietnamese language along the way.
We walked for another hour before we came to the flat road, and when we saw the road, we felt like we had seen our own father. The road is spacious, a constructed asphalt road that connects a town-style area. The sullenness in my heart couldn't help but rise, this group of people took the small road, and Niu Fat and I could have taken the big road and came by car.
The town was not far away, and we walked for less than ten minutes on the road, and the group stopped in front of a temple that resembled a temple.
The temple has an archway, about four meters high, three layers, the lowest floor is three arches, the second layer is empty, there is a big bell in the middle, there is a sign on the upper floor, five big characters on the sign, I don't know and the ancient Chinese city tower is quite similar.
After the child got out of the naked sedan chair, he folded his hands and entered the temple, and we waited outside for a while, and a monk took me and the people who came with me into the temple gate, and paid homage to the local gods and Buddhas, and never saw the child again.
Niu Pang and I glanced around and found that there were not many monks in it, but they were evenly distributed.
After everyone finished worshipping, I estimated that the time was about two o'clock in the afternoon, and now I go back, either by car, or by night according to the original road, I see that the Zen monks chant the scriptures are not yet time, even if they take the car is estimated to be at night, no matter how to walk at night.
I patted Niu Fat, and Niu Fat snored lightly after listening to the scriptures, which alarmed two people, but fortunately, people didn't pay attention to us.
I gave Niu Pang a look, which meant to leave quietly, as long as it was not a chanting on a major occasion in Vietnam, it was okay to leave if there was something important.
We quietly took a few steps back, avoiding the sight of these people, and the occasional monk who passed by did not pay attention to us. Niu Pang and I walked to a corner, and I touched the bottle on my chest, and a layer of water rose on the outside. I was shocked, broken, and then I realized that we were entering the Buddha Gate, and the Buddha Gate and the ghost were originally opposites, and the Vietnamese temple was very spiritual, and the uncle had a layer of cold water outside the bottle, so nothing would happen.
"Niu Fat, let's go." I said.
Niu Fat looked at me with a look of surprise. "Let's go? It's all here, and we can't get in when we're gone. ”
Vietnamese temples are different from the places we go to when we join the tour group, not the locals generally won't let you in, we came in this time, it was completely stained with the light of the locals, if we went out, it was impossible to come in again. The most important thing now is not that you can't get in, but that the uncle doesn't know what the situation is.
I was still hesitating, I put Niu Fat's hand into my inner pocket, as soon as Niu Pang touched the bottle, his eyes looked at us in a panic, opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.
I didn't have an idea for a while, here, the uncle's soul may be gone, but if we leave, we really can't get in again.
After thinking about it again, I took off my clothes and handed them to Niu Fat, "Niu Fat, let's change our clothes, you go out quickly, I'm looking for it." ”
Niu Fat looked at me and raised his hand, but he didn't know whether to take it or not, and hesitated. I shoved his clothes into him, stripped off his clothes, and put them on his body as if he were wearing a skirt, and Niu Fat was showing his shirt, and he was still in a daze when he held my clothes in his hands.
"Hurry up, go slowly, my uncle is gone, I'll settle accounts with you." I pushed Niu Pang forward, Niu Pang weighed it again and again, gritted his teeth, and finally turned around helplessly and left.
After Niu Fat left, I looked around, some vegetation, and some monks' clothes, this place is a bit like where monks live, I sighed in my heart, God help me, this can't be the backyard, where monks live, the child belongs here, then he must live here.
I observed for a while, it was quiet, there was no one, and I took advantage of the shelter of these trees to go inside.
Halfway through, I heard the sound of running water, which scared me a lot. It took me a minute to calm down.
I cautiously walked in the direction of the sound of running water, and after a few steps, I stopped in front of a room, the door of the room was not closed, the sound of running water inside continued, and now the only person who had a chance to be here was the little boy, and I couldn't help but snicker at the thought of this.
