Chapter 2: The Blood Buddha
readx; After that, I put away the book-like thing wrapped in plastic wrap, sat on the bed and looked down at the jade in the shape of an emerald green copper coin in my palm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The front of this piece of jade is carved with several official scripts like the words '勅 Feng evil ghost', and the reverse side is carved with '勅 Feng Kill Ghost'!
The pattern on the surface of the jade is divided into three parts, the extension is two entrenched end to end of the five-clawed dragon, the east and west of the dragon north and south are the sword, Feng, evil, ghost, these words, and the extension is a gossip pattern, there are different lines of different lengths on the top, representing Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui.
And the three on the back, in addition to the extension of the dragon, are the four words in the east, west, north and south, and the four words, Feng, kill, and ghost, no matter how closely you look at it, there is nothing special about it, and it will not be as cold as the white jade.
I took a picture under the light, this piece of jade gave me the feeling that it was particularly crystal clear, and the two dragons on the extension were covered with golden light, and a touch of green in the jade seemed to be flowing slowly, pushing the carved gossip pattern to slowly rotate.
Suddenly, I was fascinated by the hollow part in the middle of the jade, and I realized that what I saw through the center of the jade was very different from what I saw without it.
Coupled with the fact that my eyes are somewhat short-sighted, it makes me believe even more in what I see through the copper coin.
Because when my eyes see things through the copper coin, they are unusually clear, even clearer than what I see when I wear myopic glasses.
And when you look at it with your eyes in the middle of it, the scene you see becomes very blurry, like looking through frosted glass.
Drilled this copper coin jade into his hand, and said in his heart that this thing given by Old Man Zhao is really interesting, but it's a pity that Old Man Zhao didn't tell me what this thing is called?
Why don't I give it a name? What's it called?
Emerald copper coins? Yin and Yang copper coins? Copper coins? Old patina? Or the magic little eyes? Or almonds or something!
The front and back of it are written what is Feng, so it is better to call it 'Xun Feng Copper Coins'! The name seems pretty good.
Then I put away the copper coin, thinking that when I met Zhuge one day, I would leave something for Old Man Zhao and give it to him, but the premise was that I had to go out of this police station first.
And I was lucky, I ate in the detention center for two days, took a urine test and was released.
The police uncle at the police station told me that according to the investigation of the station, the black Buick car had actually been seriously damaged by the traffic bureau half a month ago because of the serious damage caused by the car accident, and the owner was a man about 30 years old.
And the thief in sportswear was also forensically detected by the medical examiner to have a small amount of chloride hydrochloride in his body, which is commonly known as the powder, that is, drugs.
This car accident happened very strangely, it may be that someone deliberately killed someone, or it may be for other reasons, I was released does not mean that I have nothing to do, if there is any progress in the case, I will be called back! After all, I was the only living person at the scene of the crime.
When I came out of the police station in Cangzhou City, I took a taxi straight home.
My home is more than 20 miles away from Cangzhou City, on the temple (village name), when I was a child, I heard the old people in the village say that when there was no village in our village before, there was a Weituo temple here at the earliest.
The temple is dedicated to a clay statue of the god Vedas, because this temple is not very large, so the incense is naturally not so vigorous, and gradually it becomes a broken temple, and the temple collapses after a long time.
But before the temple disappeared, that is, before our village was built, I remember hearing such a story.
said that a son surnamed Li and a girl surnamed Song from a neighboring village fell in love, but neither of them pierced this layer of window paper.
After a long time, I didn't expect that this girl surnamed Song had been promised by her family.
It's just that Xu's mother-in-law is not good, although there are a few shops outside the Wang family, but it is not enough for this kid to be corrupted, and the family thinks that if he marries his daughter-in-law, he will live in peace.
So I talked about the matchmaker everywhere, but I didn't expect this bad boy of the Wang family to pay attention to the girl who sent him home, and the bride price for the marriage proposal was thick enough, so the Song family agreed.
But Miss Song understands that this Wang family kid is not a good thing, and she doesn't like that guy at all, and she already has a crush on her, so she doesn't want to do it in her heart, thinking that if she really wants to marry her, she will kill herself at night and will never be cheap, the surname Wang is not cheap, but it's a pity that she will never see the son of the Li family again.
Now there are still some days of the marriage that is scheduled in Li, and I must not sit still, so the next day Miss Song came out of the house on the grounds of being sick and taking medicine, and saw Li Gongzi, and the two of them were silently speechless with tears after seeing each other, but they didn't expect that the two of them planned to go around in the Weituo Temple the night after tomorrow and then go away and leave this place of right and wrong.
I didn't expect that these words had already been overheard and reached the ears of the Wang family's boys, and after listening to these bad boys of the Wang family, the bad water came out, and he planned to kill Li Gongzi in Weituo Temple, so that Miss Song would follow her honestly.
So that night, the boy of the Wang family took a few people to ambush behind the statue of Weituo in the Weituo Temple, and after Li Gongzi and Miss Song returned, he jumped out behind Li Gongzi and stabbed Li Gongzi in the back of the heart.
Miss Song was overwhelmed with grief and fell to the ground as she hit her head on Wei Tuo.
Seeing that Wei Tuo's body had been stained red by Miss Song's blood, the boy of the Wang family was afraid that he would suffer a lawsuit, so he called someone to bury Li and Song on the spot, and then burned the temple and destroyed the corpse.
But I didn't expect that just after burying the two, the statue of Wei Tuo behind him fell down, and steadily smashed the bad boy of the Wang family to the bottom, and the temple collapsed immediately......
And now there is a big locust tree growing behind our village that two locust trees grow together that two people can't hold, and it is said that this is where the Veda Temple used to be located.
That's why we still have the custom of going to the big locust tree to make offerings when two people get married before the special period, saying that the Buddha Veda will bless the two people to be harmonious and beautiful.
But few people believe in this anymore.
I don't know if this story is true or false, and the old people don't mention it much, but the curious children will simply talk about it.
Since the towns and villages have been urbanized, and the dirt roads in the village in the past few years have now been built into asphalt roads, so I didn't have much effort to go to the temple.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw a few aunts and ladies standing in Wang Fang's non-staple food department (the grocery store in the village is similar to a supermarket), chatting and knocking melon seeds.
I saw Aunt Wang stretching out her hand to me to beckon me to come over, this Aunt Wang is not far from my house, just across the street, is an authentic peasant mother-in-law, when the field is not busy, she will do odd jobs to earn some pocket money, and there is a special part-time job that is a matchmaker.
Every time I see a young man and a big girl in my twenties, I will talk to me, and I guess this time I fell into her hands again.
Aunt Wang said to me while knocking melon seeds: "Oops! Xiaoxian is back. ”
"Yes! Aunt Wang, didn't you go to work today! ”
"No, the factory is off work today, hey, Xiaoxian, you're not a big boss, if you don't get married, your parents won't urge you!"
"Aunt Wang, I don't like what others tell me, aren't you waiting for you to help me find a beautiful one?"
"Haha, don't worry! This matter will be handed over to Aunt Wang, and there are no people in ten miles and eight villages who don't recognize people! When you marry your daughter-in-law, don't forget my aunt! Hahaha......"
"Aunt Wang, then I'll go back first, let's talk about this later!"
"Oops! Come back! ……”
I walked home with my bag, and I could hear the aunt on my back muttering this and that, in fact, what I said was to be polite to them, after all, they were all in the same village, and when I looked down and saw that they were all elders, it was not right to say hello when I met, as if I was ignorant.
After crossing a street and turning two more corners, I pushed the door and entered my house.
When I entered the house, I threw my bag on the sofa and opened my mouth to shout, "Mom, I'm back!" ”
Then I saw my mom with white flour on her hands, pushing the door and coming from the kitchen, "Oops! I said, "Why did I dream last night that a dragon came into our house?" It turned out that my son was back! Reaching out and patting my face, "I knew that there was something good today, so I was making dumplings, you hurry up and change your clothes, and wait a while to wash your hands and eat dumplings." ”
"Got it." I lay on the couch and said weakly with my eyes closed.
Although I didn't hug my mother and cry, but seeing my mother so happy to see me, I was reluctant to cry, even if I crawled back from the underworld several times, but I still had an uncontrollable sour gush in my heart when I saw my mother.
After a while, my mother brought the dumplings to the table, and when she saw that I was still lying on the sofa and not moving, my mother urged me to move quickly, and after changing my clothes, I quickly went to my grandmother's house and called my grandmother over to eat dumplings together.
When I came back, I didn't see my dad, so I asked my mom where my dad had gone, why wasn't he at home?
My mother said that my father went fishing with my uncles and uncles in the river in Zhaolou (village), and it is estimated that he will stay at his uncle's house to drink at night, and he may not come back today.
After lunch, I made up a big sleep at home, and when I woke up, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, I was going to sleep for a while and get up and walk to Zhaolou to find my dad to fish for a while, but I didn't expect my body to be so tired and sleep until dark.
I sat up and lit a cigarette and woke up from a nap, and when I finished smoking one and was about to smoke the second one, I found that the cigarette box was empty, so I had no choice but to get dressed and come out of the house to buy cigarettes at Wang Fang's non-staple food department.
There were no street lights in the village, so I walked forward with the moon on the ground of the wall, and after turning two corners and crossing a street, I came to Wang Fang's non-staple food department.
Lifting the curtain, I saw that there was no one in the house, so I shouted loudly into the house: "Uncle, Uncle Wang will bring me a pack of cigarettes!" ”
"What cigarettes do you want?" Suddenly, a voice came from beside me, startling me.
I turned around and saw that it was a girl talking, but she was just lying on the counter and I didn't see her.
"Hey! What cigarettes do you want? ”
"Red Tower!"
Suddenly, Uncle Wang came out of the back room, and when he saw that it was me, he smiled and said to me, "Hey! Who should I say? O Xiaoxian! What to come back to! ”
"Just came back today!"
"Oops! I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the kid looks strong again! ”
"Hey, hey! Uncle Wang brought me a box of red towers! ”
"Hey!"
Uncle Wang turned around and took a box of red towers and put it in front of me, and I was looking at the little girl who had just talked to me, thinking who she was? Because I see that she is very familiar, but I just can't think of who she is, what her name is.
I asked Uncle Wang, "Hey! Uncle, who is this girl! How do I not recognize? ”
Uncle Wang smiled: "This, this is my daughter, Xiaoxue!" Why don't you know each other? ”
I only reacted when I heard Uncle Wang say this, this is Wang Xiaoxue, according to his generation, he still has to call me brother! However, she has attended a private school in the city since she was a child, and I can't take it with me for a few days when I'm away from home for a year, so it's normal to be unfamiliar with each other.
I scratched my head and said, "As soon as you said that, I realized that I haven't seen your elementary school grow into a big girl for a few years!" ”
"Yes! My girl usually doesn't like to go out, and she doesn't like to talk much, but you don't talk when you see it! ”
I took a closer look at Wang Xiaoxue and found that she didn't seem to be very happy, and her eyes were red.
I asked, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" ”
"Hey," Uncle Wang said in a tone, "I didn't get into college......
"Why are you so annoying!" Suddenly, Wang Xiaoxue stood up and shouted loudly, turned around and left.
"You don't bother with her, she's like that. Anything else? ”
Let's grab a bottle of green tea! I said.
After giving Uncle Wang money, I hurriedly came out of the non-staple food department.
Xin said that it seems that Wang Xiaoxue's failure to be admitted to school has really hit her hard, so why doesn't she review for a year and retake the exam? That's better than being wronged at home every day!
I opened the green tea and took a sip, and then reached out to touch the cigarette I had just put in my pocket, but I touched the pockets on my body or not, and my heart said that it didn't fall on the road? I looked down and didn't find anything, I just put it in my pants pocket, how could it be gone? Forget it, let's go back and buy another box!
Lifting the curtain of the non-staple food department, I said, "Uncle Wang, you're giving me that box of red towers!" ”
"Oops! Xiaoxian, you're addicted to smoking enough! I did a box of farts with a big effort! ”
"Uncle Wang, don't tease me, I took a sip of green tea and touched my pocket, and the cigarette was gone!"
"Lost?"
I nodded, "Uncle Wang, hurry up and get me another box!" ”
"Hey!"
"Why doesn't your daughter study for a year if she didn't take the exam?"
"Hey, don't say it! ……”
After taking this box of cigarettes, I came out of the non-staple food department, and I still muttered about Wang Xiaoxue in my heart.
When I got home, I was about to ask my mom what was going on, and I was attracted by something on the desk, and I could clearly see that it was a box of brand-new 'red tower' cigarettes.
