Chapter 59: The Village Temple
The above is what Miss Bai and I reviewed, all the encounters we have had since we entered the mountain. If there is any connection between this, it is really impossible to analyze. The 'force' that dominates the movement of things seems to lead us into a great vortex of unknowns...
"That's what I thought." I said, "That side cave is located in the belly of the mountain to the east of Stone Village, and from a geographical point of view, it is at the entrance of Stone Village. Could the thing that was originally bolted to the cave be used to guard the Stone Village? β
"You mean like a dog?" Miss Bai asked.
"Hmm."
"It's up to you."
I smiled, "You think, ordinary dogs are used to watch the home, that thing is so big, it should be used to see the village..."
Miss Bai 'pouted' and said that I really convinced you, my imagination is too rich, but it sounds like there is a little truth, but that thing is not in that cave now, where did it go? β¦
I shook my head and said, let's talk about it tomorrow, like you said, ask the old people in the village if they know it, and then take the villagers to the stone chamber to see if it is the person who deceived them out of the village when he said that the mountain was going to collapse.
"Hmm." Miss Bai answered.
"Alright, it's not too early, let's sleep."
"Okay." Miss Bai didn't hear what I was saying.
"Oops...," I stretched, "**A moment is worth a thousand dollars..."
Only then did Miss Bai hear it, and said word by word, "Ah Leng, you bastard, if I don't use my shoes to hit you, I won't be surnamed Bai..."
"Oh, don't, girls want to be ladylike, lady..."
Miss Bai picked up her shoes and smashed them, of course she didn't hit them, she wouldn't hit me. The shoe slammed to the ground, and I suddenly felt a strong vibration.
I sat up with a 'whew', "Didn't you, you smashed the earthquake?" β
Suddenly, I heard a 'boom' sound from the direction of Stone Village outside, and then I realized that it was a landslide. I thought to myself, how is this endless?
The sound lasted only for a moment before falling silent, and listening to the rustling of the rain, I was about to fall asleep when I felt Miss Bai turn over.
"Ah Leng... I like you so much... I'm not going to break you up with your girlfriend, I just want you to hug me... I'm so lonely, you know..."
Listening to Miss Bai's whispering, my heart was hot, my eyes were wet, I got up quietly, helped her straighten the quilt, and covered my coat on it...
Early the next morning, we took a few villagers to the low cliff at the entrance of Stone Village, and now the crack that we had escaped from was gone...
There was not even a trace of a crack in the rock wall, and it seemed that it should have been caused by the collapse last night. Miss Bai and I looked at each other, their faces full of incredulity, and the villagers looked at us suspiciously.
When asked, they all said that the one who knew the most about the past in Stone Village was the old man who had dealt with us. Back at the cliff where we were perched, we had eaten the breakfast that the villagers had prepared for us, and then we walked towards the old man's tent. The breakfast was plentiful, and the villagers got all sorts of wild game out of nowhere, and in addition to entertaining us with the best cured meat from the cellar, they had slaughtered a sheep after we had rested last night. The mutton in the mountains is not comparable to the mutton I eat in the city, and the meat in my hometown is not comparable, the meat is so delicate that I almost swallowed my tongue.
As for Xiang Feng, they are still in the hospital, and some villagers have already gone to deliver a letter to tell them that Miss Bai and I are out of danger, so as not to worry. The original intention of us entering the mountain was to find Yang Shujun's uncle Yang Niansheng, and to see if Yang Niansheng knew the reason for Xiaoqing's father's rush. Unexpectedly, he was delayed in this stone village, and used the Qimen magic to detect the natural disaster to save the people of a village, and the source of the wooden gossip that raised evil spirits appeared. As for looking for Yang Niansheng, there is no hurry, anyway, Xiaoqing's father still has a long time to live. Besides, Xiang Feng and the others are still in the hospital, so I decided to stay in the village for the time being and continue to investigate the secrets hidden here. Why was that wooden gossip in the stone room, and how did it get to Xiaoqing's grandfather? β¦ All kinds of mysteries haunt me...
When I came to the tent where the old man lived, I smelled a smell as soon as I entered. The old man's son also called a hare from nowhere, and stewed it together with all kinds of mountain delicacies, and it was surprisingly fragrant. The old man sat on a small wooden bench, holding a bowl of broth and eating it deliciously.
"Old man," I called him.
The old man raised his head and smacked his lips to look at me, "Why does your doll look familiar..."
I looked at Miss Bai with tears and laughter, and Miss Bai almost laughed out loud and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"I am... I'm the little snake god! β
"Little snake god?" The old man thought for a moment and snorted, "It turned out to be you kid, what are you doing?" I all said, don't go out of the village..."
"Whatβ" I was speechless.
The old man's son said, "This is how my father eats, don't be surprised, wait until he is full." β
The old man's teeth were almost gone, and he ate very slowly, and when he had eaten and drunk enough, his son lit a dry cigarette and handed it to him, and after a few puffs, he looked up at us.
"Oh, here's the life-saving benefactor..."
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I finally reacted.
"Is the Eighth Route Army's team okay now?" The old man asked.
I pulled back the breath I had just let go, and reluctantly followed him, "Okay, okay." β
"Ugh." The old man sighed, "You were in such a hurry back then, we folks couldn't bear it..."
I had an idea and asked, "Old man, why did our team go in such a hurry back then?" β
The old man's answer disappointed me, and he went back and forth to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and it seemed that he didn't know the reason for the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army that year. I said in my heart, this old man doesn't know, and others should not know, and the reason for the withdrawal of the Eighth Route Army must have been kept secret. It seemed that I couldn't ask anything, and I was about to leave with Miss Bai when the old man suddenly said.
"You tell the team that what they told us is done."
"Tell me about you?" I was stunned.
"Uh-huh." The old man said, "Didn't the team tell us before leaving, that the mountain temple was destroyed, and there is no need to sacrifice to the mountain god in the future." β
I nodded, and said in my heart, what did I think?
"Also, thank you to the Eighth Route Army for rebuilding a temple for us..."
My heart fluttered.
The old man's son said, "My father is talking about the original village temple, it is said that it is the original house where the commander of the Eighth Route Army company lived, and I still had incense to burn when I was young, and then the Cultural Revolution was smashed, and there were originally three stone statues in it. The Eighth Route Army said that if you damage things in the village, you must be compensated..."
"Where is that temple in Stone Village?" I asked with a frown.
The man thought about it and sued me. I figured out that it should be the room where Miss Bai and I were hiding when the mountain collapsed.
"At first, I just demolished the temple and didn't move the stone statues inside." The old man's son said, "I remember that when the Cultural Revolution was about to end, a group of people came from outside the mountain and carried the three stone statues out and smashed them. β
"And then? Uncle continued. I asked.
The man scratched his head and thought for a moment and said, "After smashing those people, they left... Oh, by the way, the next day, a group of people came from outside the mountain, no, it was three people, a couple of two with a madman, who lived in the temple. It seems that the madman is the woman's brother or brother, I can't remember clearly, but I heard from the people in the village that the madman beat people everywhere in the house, and the two of them wanted to send him to the mountains to fend for himself..."
Miss Bai and I glanced at each other, and I said in my heart, that madman should be Yang Shujun's uncle Yang Niansheng!
"How long have they lived?" I asked.
"It's been raining for days. The next day, the madman didn't know where to go, and the two of them searched all over the village. Looking for it, the madman jumped out of the temple, hehe, giggled, say it, there is a ghost thing to come out. The big guys thought he was talking crazy, and no one took it to heart..."
My heart was shocked, and I said in my heart, if that temple is really the dilapidated house where Miss Bai and I are hiding, then Yang Niansheng may have entered the 'sewer' below when he disappeared, what did he see in it at that time? What is the 'ghost' thing he is talking about? β¦
