Chapter 166: Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha

Dao An seemed to be asked by Qian Zha Paper, speaking of which Qian Zha Paper asked really scientifically enough, I saw that Dao An seemed to be a little embarrassed and smiled, and then said to Qian Zha Paper: "I think they must want to use that drum to do something." ”

Qian Zhashi continued to ask: "What do they want to do with that broken drum, knocking to collect the rags?" ”

It's also thanks to Qian Tie Paper that he can ask this kind of question, so that Dao An doesn't know how to answer, but fortunately, he also understands that the person in front of him is a little stunned, so he said to him: "This is not sure, what kind of small money, it's not early, I have to get up early tomorrow, let's sleep." ”

Speaking of which, he seemed to be afraid that this Qian Zha Paper would continue to ask him questions, so after saying this, he casually turned off the light and lay down, Qian Zha Paper saw that he seemed to be a little unkind of talking to himself, and I slept again, so I took off my clothes and went to sleep, and after it lay down, I vaguely heard him mutter: "Really, you said how long we can live in this life, why do you want to hurt others?" ”

I turned over in the dark, and quietly opened my eyes, but there was still darkness in front of me, yes, how long do you say we can live in this life? Speaking of which, after I listened to Hu Xiaoping say that beast theory last night, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time, our life seems to be very long, but compared to those monsters, it is simply too insignificant, thinking back to the time that has passed in the past, I feel that this time is just a moment.

Everyone is human and has a similar lifespan, there is only one life, everyone is like this, but why would anyone choose to persecute the lives of others in their own short life? Why is that?

I sighed, and the sound of money snoring in my ears was the sound of money and paper, and I fell asleep thinking about it.

I didn't say anything all night, and when I woke up the next day, it was indeed more than seven o'clock in the morning, because I was too tired, so I was the last to wake up, when Qian Zha paper woke me up, I felt a pain all over my body, I got up and rested for a while before I recovered, at this time Daoan had finished freshening up, he said to me: "Xiaoyuan, it's okay, look at your face is not very good, or let's rest for a day." ”

I glanced at him, then said to him, "It's okay, I guess I'm asleep." ”

Just kidding, how could I not go? Speaking of which, there is still a good show waiting for me to unveil it, I looked at Dao'an, after a sleep, I have completely calmed down, although I don't know whether it is friend or foe, but I also understand that there are still cultists waiting for me to throw myself into the net, how can I have a rest? So he washed up haphazardly, and then went out with the three of them with his backpack.

The first month has not passed, the taste of early spring seems to have been coming, today is a sunny day, in this edge of the town, I feel that the sky above my head is surprisingly blue, after going out, I took two breaths of fresh breath, and my heart suddenly felt a little more relaxed, the residual snow on the side of the road gradually melted so that the road in front of us was a little muddy, we took the address that Hua Guangting delivered to us all the way to inquire, the feeling that Hua Guangting's home was far away from our location at the time, and when we arrived at his home, it was almost noon.

Hua Guangting's hometown is a small bungalow with a single courtyard, before knocking on the door, the earth dog in the yard shouted, after a while, an old woman went out to watch, the old woman's face and Hua Guangting vaguely resembled, it should be his mother, most of the folk customs in remote places are simple, this is different from the people in the city, I don't know why, after we said what we meant through the door, the old woman led us into the yard, I walked at the end, The dirt dog in the yard kept barking at me, as if he had a grudge against me to kill my father, and I smiled bitterly in my heart, thinking to myself why I was so unrelated to dogs? Thinking about it, even on the streets of Harbin, as long as I met a dog walking, the dog had to bark at me twice, looking at the looks of those dogs, as if they were embarrassed to eat bones if they didn't bark at me.

Hua Guangting's mother pulled the dog while saying 'it's okay' to me, and at this moment, Qian Zhaji whispered to me: "This dog is not biting you again, but biting your creditor again." ”

I suddenly realized in my heart that the creditor in the mouth of the money and paper is my family's ancestral yellow-skinned tour group, think about them really followed me, to say that among the animals, the dog's spiritual surname is also very high, but it is a pity that the whole is in the company of people, and there is only the obsession of protecting the lord in the heart, but there is no heart to practice, so few dogs practice the Tao, but the dog can see the dirty things, it seems that the dog saw the ghost of the yellow-skinned child behind me, so this is shouting loudly.

To say that I was completely accustomed to those yellow skins following behind me, so I didn't care about entering the house with them, that Hua Guangting's father went out to visit the door, leaving only Aunt Hua alone at home, she made tea for us, and asked us a few words about the current situation of Hua Guangting, and then we talked about where the shepherd named Zhao Fa was.

When Aunt Hua saw us asking Zhao Fa, she smiled and said to us: "This person is idle all day long, what are you looking for him?" ”

Dao An saw that Aunt Hua asked, so he replied: "That's the case, didn't we come here to find ginseng, but now we also know that ginseng was taken away, but we don't want to run in vain, I heard the Guangting brothers say before, saying that this Uncle Zhao usually helps people guard the forest and herd sheep, and he must be very familiar with this mountain, so I want to ask him about this mountain and forest." ”

I didn't speak, I just thought to myself that anyway, I now know that this is a trap, so I will ask Mao, anyway, I will definitely see the shepherd in the end, but the shepherd is not a good person, otherwise how would the Golden Witch Cult use it as bait to catch me?

Thinking of this, he looked up at Dao'an and saw that he was still chatting with Aunt Hua about this matter, his eloquence was good, and he had a steady appearance, so Aunt Hua didn't think much about it, so she said to us: "Okay, but it's almost noon, and Zhao Fa lives quite far away, so you can go after dinner." ”

I don't care, but Dao An rejected Aunt Hua's kindness, and he said to Aunt Hua: "No need Auntie, you just need to tell us where Zhao Fa lives, I'm really embarrassed to trouble you." ”

Aunt Hua didn't want to say anything after hearing this, so she pointed out Zhao Fa's residence to us, and she said to us: "That Zhao Fa doesn't herd sheep for others now, there is a forest on our mountain, and he was contracted down by others before, and he is there to fight with others now, you go out and go to the left, and then walk along the path, about half an hour to arrive." ”

After thanking Mrs. Hua, we went out again, and sure enough, after walking for a while, we saw a path, this path has been leading to the top of the mountain, at this time it was almost noon, at a glance at the endless mountains majestic and magnificent, looking at a piece of snow white, suddenly it was spectacular, very wonderful, although I am now in the snow, but because the temperature has risen, so I can't feel the cold, so that after walking for a while, my brain actually oozes beads of sweat.

Unconsciously, the road under our feet sloped slightly, we have walked into this deep mountain, but there is not much snow on this road, the crooked rutted ditch on both sides of the road tells me that there should be cars passing by here, I think it is the relationship between this lumber yard, if it was placed before, I probably would not have noticed this detail, but now it is different, I began to wonder in my heart, what kind of lumber yard started so early, so that this New Year, the snow on the mountain has not melted and has begun to work?

And I also noticed that this rutted ditch was not pressed out by large vehicles, so this is very suspicious, and I thought to myself, isn't this deep mountain also a den of thieves? Is it the property of the Golden Witch Cult?

The trees on both sides are getting thicker and thicker, and the road to the mountain is getting harder and harder to walk, except for Qian Zha paper shouting along the way, Dao An and I have not spoken, I have peeked at him a few times, and found that his expression is full of anticipation, I really don't know what he is expecting.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, a puff of gray smoke floated out of the woods in front of me, there should be someone there, sure enough, after a while, a small wooden house appeared in the deep forest, and the smoke floated from the chimney, and sure enough, there were people living there, I thought to myself, this should be the place where the shepherd surnamed Zhao lived, I want to see where he is sacred.

So we went up and knocked on the door, and after knocking twice, the door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a black cotton jacket and black skin stood at the door, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Hello, we are here to find someone, may I ask if Uncle Zhao Fa and Zhao are here?" Daoan said.

The man looked at us several times before he said, "What are you looking for him?" ”

Dao An smiled at the man: "There is something to do, no, we are from out of town, we want to go around this forest, I heard from a friend that Uncle Zhao is very familiar with this place, so I want to ask him to be a guide." ”

After that, Daoan handed the man a cigarette, the man lit the cigarette and took a puff, looked at us again, and then said to Daoan: "He's not here, he's going up the mountain." ”

Daoan asked him, "Then when will he come back?" ”

At this time, the man also seemed to think that we were not some villains, and Dao'an's attitude was quite respectful, so the man said to us: "I don't know, he went hunting, why don't you come in and wait?" ”

"That's great." I saw Dao An and the man shook hands, and after a few polite words, we entered the house, this room is very simple, at first glance it is built for those forest guards who live on the mountain temporarily, there is a pot of earth kang on the north wall, there is a stove next to the kang, there is an iron pot with a lid on the stove, it seems to be boiling something, and there are two people in the room are talking, when they see us coming in, they come up to ask, before the man told them where we came from, they didn't say much, just invited us to sit on the kang, After chatting for a while, we were invited to lunch.

But I know in my heart that words can be said nonsense, but this thing can not be eaten indiscriminately, I have been looking at these three people since I entered the house, although the temperature in this room is not high, but it can still keep warm, but these three middle-aged people are wearing a dogskin hat, and the hats on both sides are drooping down to block their ears, I feel in my heart that these three people must be from the Golden Witch Sect, and they didn't run away, but now the surname Zhao hasn't appeared yet, and I don't know what the hell they are doing, anyway, I still bear with it first, Let's see what other tricks they have up their sleeve. I thought to myself, I don't dare to eat what they give, but although I don't dare to eat that dish, but Qian Tie paper is a hundred taboos, after walking all morning, his stomach has already begun to beat the bell, as soon as he heard that the pot is stewed pork vermicelli, saliva is about to flow out.

I was really afraid that he would have a bad deal after eating this dish, so I came up with a way, and after the people took out the dishes and chopsticks, I said to Qian Zha paper: "I have an urgent need to urinate, accompany me to the toilet." ”

Qian Zhaji was already sitting cross-legged on the kang at that time, and after hearing me say this, the boss said to me unhappily: "You are a little girl, you have to be accompanied by someone to go to the toilet, go by yourself, who will look at you." ”

I thought to myself, where did you get so much nonsense, so I said to him, "What are you talking about, hurry." ”

Then he couldn't refuse, and directly pulled him over, while Dao'an didn't pay attention, I gave him a look, I said many times before, although Qian Zha paper is crazy, but not stupid, and I also know that I have something to tell him, so I muttered 'Okay, okay, the ink is dead.' As he walked out of the hut with me, I led him into the woods, and then said to him, "Don't eat what they've given you, you know?" ”

Qian Zhashi blinked, and then said to me a little strangely: "What, this is a black shop?" ”

Dizzy, I thought to myself that you are enough and imaginative, so I said to him: "What a black shop, I suspect that those three people are the miscellaneous members of the Golden Witch Sect." ”

"Really?" Qian Zhaji was stunned when he heard me say this, only to see him say to me, "How do you know? ”

"It's a long story." Because I was afraid that those people would be suspicious if I went back late, I didn't have time to explain to Qian Zha Paper, so I just said to him: "I don't have time to explain, just remember not to eat." ”

The relationship between Qian Zhashi and me is not trivial, after hearing me say this, he also put this in his heart, this kid's mind turned quickly, I saw him say to me: "But if they are really the Golden Witch Sect, then not eating their things makes them more suspicious?" ”

This is indeed a problem, but I had a plan, so I told him my plan, and now our behavior can be said to be a gamble, how to say it, I always think that the remnants of the golden witch here are not only a few of them, do you think, that Ma Tianshun is not a fool, unless these three people are more capable than him, otherwise the three of them still want to take me? No kidding.

But think about it from another perspective, if these people are more capable than Ma Tianshun, then they would have replaced Ma Tianshun as the leader a long time ago, and they still need to listen to his orders? So I'm betting that there must be their accomplices around here, or Ma Tianshun or someone else, and what I'm waiting for is his appearance, so I have to endure it now.

After a few more words with Qian Zha Paper, we went back to the house, at this time the table had been set, Dao An and the three people had already eaten and drunk, I sat at the table with Qian Zha Paper pretending to be fine, only to see a large pot of pork stew on the table, in addition to a bowl of pickled radish and pickled celery, the rest was a large pot of hot white flour steamed buns, the food exuded a nasal fragrance, but in my eyes, it seemed to be a pot of poison.

The three of them invited us to dinner as if they were very hospitable, but I smiled and said to them: "Uncles, you are so enthusiastic, I am a little embarrassed to eat the whole thing, I can't just eat yours, come, I have wine in my bag, I bought it in Tahe, and some food, let's have two drinks." ”

While talking, I took out the liquor I bought before from my backpack, and some canned food such as tomato juice and yellow croaker, these things were prepared for us by Han Wanchun when I was in Harbin, this old guy didn't have much money, so he prepared food for us, and he didn't have time to eat along the way, and it was just used to block the knife at this time.

The three of them saw me take out the food, politely said a few words and then shared the meal with us, I ate this meal very carefully, chopsticks did not eat, only some fish and sausages and the like, but did not move a bite of the pork stew, and those people seemed to have discovered my move, only to see the black and thin middle-aged man while pouring wine for me and said with a smile: "Little brother, we met is also fate, the people in the mountains are poor and have nothing good to entertain you, see a smile and a smile." ”

I looked at him, and then said to him, "Uncle, what are these words, isn't this dish very good, and we are not very particular people, let's drink." ”

After that, I picked up the cup, but I only touched my lips and put it down, only to see the middle-aged man say to me: "That's great, look at the old brother, you are a bright person, come and taste our stewed pork, the wild boar that was just set two days ago." ”

After that, he handed over a piece of meat, I sneered in my heart, thinking that this trick was ruthless enough, if I didn't eat it, then they would definitely be suspicious, but if I ate it, it would be too much, fortunately, I followed Han Wanchun for a long time, I didn't learn anything else, I learned a lot of tricks, just when he picked up a large piece of fish from the can, I saw him sandwich the meat for me, pretending to be a little flattered and stuffed the fish meat into his mouth first, Then he caught the meat with a bowl, and said to the man while chewing the fish: "By the way, uncle, is it true that you dug up the Great Samwang here a while ago?" ”

The man said to me, "But isn't it, I also saw it, hey, I heard that it was sold for thousands, where is this reasonable, isn't it the same as picking up money?" ”

I said to him again, "Then since then, there must have been a lot of people like us who have gone into the mountains to find ginseng for medical treatment." ”

The man said vaguely, "Well, it seems that there are a few, but there are not many." ”

I stretched out my chopsticks and picked up the piece of meat, then turned my head and said, "There seems to be another person over there, I wonder if it's Uncle Zhao?" ”

The three of them seemed stunned when they heard this, and then they turned their heads to look at the window together with Dao'an, and I took advantage of this opportunity, without looking back, grabbed the piece of meat with my left hand, and then lowered it under the table and stuffed it into my pocket, and at the same time, those people said, "Who is there?" ”

By the time they turned around, I had removed my chopsticks from my mouth and said to them, "There, that one in white, don't you see?" ”

When they looked closely, it turned out to be a white ragged shirt hanging in the woods, and that shirt was a piece of overalls hanging on a clothesline that I had just come from the doorway, and I had secretly hung it on a tree to cope with this kind of scene.

I only listened to the man take a closer look and then said to me, "Hey, where are the people, it's our clothes, maybe blown to the trees by the wind." ”

"Look at my eyes." I laughed as I swallowed the food in my mouth, then raised my glass to them and said, "Let's take another sip." ”

After drinking, without waiting for them to speak, I stretched out my chopsticks again, put a large number of chopsticks into the bowl with the vegetables and meat, and then said to them, "Don't say, this meat is really delicious." ”

Those people probably still think that I am still in the dark, you must know that their plan is indeed very hidden, if it weren't for the scurry gray mouse himself leaked the secret, it is estimated that I have already been tricked by now, so they thought that after I ate the meat, they didn't think much about it, only to see that the man turned his head and knocked on the money paper, and the money paper also looked at him, only to see that the man showed a very hospitable look and picked up a piece of meat for the money paper, and then said to him: "This little brother, you don't seem to like to talk much, come on, eat more............ ……”

Just when the man was about to put the meat in the bowl of Qian Zha Paper, suddenly Qian Zha Paper's eyes widened, he put down his chopsticks, and shouted at the man: "Mida Buddha!! ”

The man's hand holding chopsticks had just stretched out, and his hand shook in fright by his sudden sentence, and the meat almost fell on the plate, and the people on the table were stunned. What's the matter with this kid?

Just when they were stunned, they saw Qian Zhazhi clasping his hands together and saying to the man righteously: "The poor monk is a fetal element, and the donor is not like this, a sin and a sin." ”

After that, he closed his eyes when he saw the money and paper, as if he was a monk in a fixed place, where had that person seen this meeting, he might feel that the money was not given by something? Otherwise, how could this be, so he had to smile awkwardly, looking at this young man who seemed to be a big smoker, he didn't know what to say for a while, but fortunately, Dao An knew that the spirit of this money was good and bad, so he hurriedly said to the man very apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is my brother, what, I'm sorry, he, he doesn't eat meat." ”

Just when Dao An said, "What", he stretched out his hand and pointed to his brain, which means that this kid has a bit of a problem with his brain, don't be like him, those people suddenly realized, so they smiled a little stiffly, and didn't say anything, but they didn't speak, but Qian Zhashi spoke, only to see his eyes widen, and said to the three people with two dark circles under his eyes: "Who said that the Sprinkle family doesn't eat meat!" The Sprinkle family just doesn't eat unopened meat, ah, the rank asks me what is 'open meat'? Well, I'll show you a hand. ”

I felt helpless for a while, thinking to myself who asked you, big brother! But helpless, but also feel very funny, I found that no matter what it is, Qian Zha paper can always be resolved in his unique way, it can be said that this is his tried trick, I have to say, this hand can only be used by him so naturally, the expression is vivid, not at all contrived, as if he is a madman.

I saw that the money tied to the paper with meat in his right hand, and his left hand on his chest to make a Buddha gesture, no matter what their expressions were, he said directly to them very seriously: "Gentlemen, listen to my consecration mantra!" ”

After that, he closed his eyes, his upper and lower lips couldn't help closing, muttering as if he was really chanting the scriptures, those people really didn't know what was going on, they all looked at it, and I sat next to him, naturally I heard what the incantation was in his mouth, only to see Qian Zha paper whispering and quickly muttering: "I understand that I was wrong, love is like you said, it is not a sale, even if you buy it, you can't sell it.................."

Burst!!! Almost, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter, it was actually a love deal! This rap was actually recited by the crazy Qian Zha Paper, and after seeing Qian Zha Paper read a few words quickly, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes stared at the piece of meat like copper bells, his upper lip and lower lip were pursed together, and then he shouted loudly: "Smack!" ”

This mouthful squirted, and the spitting stars splashed most of the table, and a middle-aged man on his right hand unconsciously wiped his face, and at this time, he saw Qian Zhashi and smiled: "It's done, this piece of meat has been opened, come, uncle donor, what's the difference between tasting it and ordinary meat?" ”

After that, he came to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and put the piece of meat in the bowl of the black and thin old man, I saw that the old man's face was almost green, and my heart was dark for a while, thinking about retribution, retribution is coming, you want to harm us, but you can't imagine that there are more ruthless people in us than you, right?

Although these people probably don't care whether the meat is poisonous or not, it can be seen that they care a lot about the spitting star of the money and paper, but they don't dare to be angry, maybe the three of them are also enduring it like me, so the black and thin middle-aged man hurriedly raised his wine glass, ignored the money and paper, but smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Hehe, this little brother is really interesting, let's drink, drink!" ”

was so troubled by the money paper, the man really didn't give us any more meat, maybe he also understood that his goal was not the money paper, but he didn't eat the meat himself, just looked down at the peanuts in front of him as if he had a grudge against the peanuts and sent it into his mouth, it seems that he was disgusted by the money paper.

This meal is also considered to be in danger, fortunately, we have nothing to lose, and after the meal, the three people cleaned up the table, and then began to chat with us, I also know that more words must be lost, so if you can not speak, do not speak, fortunately I and Qian Zhashi look very young, sometimes young is also a shield, I see that it is already afternoon, and the three people still do not have any action, now it seems that they probably want to do it at night, this is not, Have you started to talk about where we want to live?

I thought to myself, how can I sit still like this? So he got up and stretched his waist, and then said to Qian Tie paper: "It's really boring, Xiao Qian'er will go out with me for a walk." ”

Qian Zhazhi nodded, and when those people saw that we were going out, they said, "Two little brothers, be careful, the mountains are dense, don't get lost." ”

I nodded, only to see Qian Zhaji turn his head and look at the man in a daze, and then said to him, "The donor wants to go with him?" ”

"There's still work to be done, there's still work to be done." I saw that the man seemed to be scared by this money and paper, so he didn't dare to say anything more, and Dao An wanted to go with us, I thought to myself, could it be that he wanted to spy on me? Anyway, this time I just went out to see the terrain, so I went out with the three of them.

Walked into the forest, I and Qian Zhashi looked around, this forest is really dense and very high, because of the dense branches, so the sun can not shine here, the snow under the feet is knee-deep, it is difficult to walk, fortunately there is a path in the forest, I think it is those people who flow out, we are walking on the path, occasionally there are a few bird calls in our ears, I don't know if it is an illusion, I always feel that the calls of these birds are a little listless.

I looked around for a while, thinking that if I really want to do it later, the environment here is quite suitable for play, but if there are people hidden in the woods, it will not be easy to do, and just now those people decided that I ate meat, although I don't know what tricks are in the meat, but now it's not good to be alive anymore, well, anyway, after reading the environment, and Qian Zhazhi should also know if there are ghosts in this woods, I see that his reaction is not unusual, so I am a little relieved, So he went back to the cabin with them.

The thin black man was smashing coal with a hammer for the fire, and when he saw us coming, he smiled and asked, "How did you get enough of shopping so quickly?" ”

"It's too cold, it's not fun." I stretched again, and then said to him, "Uncle, I don't know why, I seem to be sleepy, can I borrow your place to sleep for a while?" ”

When the man saw me say this, he nodded and smiled: "Of course, of course, come into the house, the kang is still hot." ”

Speaking of which, since I already know his details, I don't have to be polite to him, so I didn't say a word, took off my shoes and went to the kang, pillowed my backpack and slept on the kang, while next to me sat Qian Tie paper, Dao An and the other two people talked in a low voice.

Naturally, I didn't fall asleep, and when I was in the woods just now, I had secretly taken out a knife from my backpack and put it in my arms, I wanted to see what tricks they were going to play.

Now it depends on whether they want to wait for the shepherd surnamed Zhao to come back, or if they can't bear to do it now.

The cabin in the deep mountains is full of faint smell of firewood, the small window has half a layer of crystal window flowers, the afternoon sun is no longer so rumored, the pale yellow light is reflected on the land through the window, the ear is Dao'an and the two people have no nutrition chatter, Qian Zhaji took out his mobile phone and began to play the game, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, I thought with some anxiety in my heart, there are less than two hours before it gets dark.

(To be continued)
