After sending Zhou Tongtong back, Lu Shan and I went straight to the bank, and Boss Zhou was quite generous, with 600,000 yuan on the card. I asked Lu Shan to divide the card into three parts at the counter, Lu Shan's one is 100,000 yuan, the fat brother and sister Hua are one 300,000 yuan, and I keep one 200,000 yuan as working capital.

When I mentioned the amount of money on the card and how to distribute it, the fat brother said: "Mr. Zhan, you have acquired our store, and we will do it with you in the future. ”

Then there are all kinds of disdainful fat brothers and adoring my eyes.

I immediately put up the shelf, and said to the fat brother: "Where is this going, come out with me tomorrow morning, Wangtan Temple in Qingling Mountain, take you two to travel, there are labor fees." Then there was laughter.

The next morning, Lu Shan and I had just finished breakfast, when we heard the sound of honking the horn outside the door, and I saw that the fat brother was sitting in a brand-new SUV (sports utility vehicle, commonly known as an off-road vehicle). Lu Shan and I changed into casual clothes, took the application and got into the fat brother's car, I and the fat brother were in the front row, Lu Shan and Sister Hua were in the back, and behind the back seat was a reluctant black dog. I don't want it to starve to death at home.

I said to the fat brother: "You are enough to be sassy, you only got the money yesterday, and the car will be driven today." ”

The fat brother also said aggrievedly: "I'm second-hand, but people have only bought it for half a year." The son was disobedient and made an accident, the car was sold to fight a lawsuit, and his son's business entrusted us to run errands, so I knew, I wanted to buy it for a long time, didn't this always have money to get around, if you didn't say you were going to go far away, I was worried that your big run would be bad, and I was reluctant to buy it. I went to the transfer yesterday when I got the money. ”

Along the way, the fat brother drove a new car, running along the high-speed for 180 miles, with a car CD in the car, and the four of us talked and laughed. This time it was said to be an errand, but in fact, it was a tour, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, and asking someone to bring a message to Boss Zhou.

Sitting in the car and opening the window, feeling the wind of freedom outside the window, it is really freedom first, nothing is a matter in front of freedom, and then look at these fatherless and motherless partners around me, at this time they are walking out of the darkness of childhood, relying on each other to drive towards freedom, I don't know what kind of challenges await us in the future, I believe that no matter what kind of challenges, as long as we are together, there is no way to pass.

At nearly eleven o'clock in the morning, I arrived at Wang Erzhuzi Village at the foot of Qingling Mountain, where tourism has brought a lot of development to this village, including banks, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, car maintenance, beauty salons, and everything. There are also many Buddhist shrines, Buddha statues, candles, paper, and incense, which are pasted on the doors and windows: tourist commemoration, master consecration. There is a row of fortune tellers squatting on the side of the street, and a red cloth is spread on the ground in front of each person, on which some gossip diagrams are drawn with black pens, and a few copper coins are placed, and the business is not bad.

I laughed secretly, if these people really want to calculate, it is better to go up the mountain to find the old monk to calculate, and my heart is more steady. Thinking about it again, fortune tellers can make money here, and it is estimated that the mountains are too expensive.

There aren't a lot of tourists, and it's far from what I imagined to be crowded. It may not be the peak tourist season, although today is Sunday, there are still more sold than bought.

Since we were with a dog, the express hotel did not allow us to stay, so we found a farmhouse compound. The farm compound is actually the local residents' own housing, in order to make money, they clean up a few rooms, rent to the tourists who come to play to live temporarily, live here, manage two meals, 80 yuan per person per day, I give the farmer 500 a day, mainly I need to help feed the dogs, watch the car, give more people can be careful, and the fat brother eats a lot, we also want to eat something good.

The place where I live is a suite, two rooms inside and outside, and the family has these two rooms, there is a door between the inside and the outside, and the guests in the room have to pass through the door, through the outside room to the courtyard, and enter the courtyard through the same door. The size and structure of the two rooms are the same, the whole large window on the south wall, under the window is a large fire kang, the plastic floor leather is pounced on the top, and the folded bedding is neatly placed in the corner of the wall, but the fire kang is not hot in this season, it is not hot until winter, and the mattress is spread when sleeping, and the small table is directly placed on the kang when eating.

We are living in the inner room, because the two girls in the outer room do not live tonight to check out, we brought two girls, in case the tenants who come to settle in again, the toilet in the middle of the night has to pass through our house, I am afraid that it is inconvenient.

The yard is very large, there is a pigsty, there is a barn with high legs, the earthen toilet built by the house is next to the pigsty, and another door side by side is the residence of the family, the old couple and the little granddaughter live in the family, and the children are working in the city.

Uncle Liu said that their house has kitchen running water, and we need to use a prepared plastic bucket to go to the house to fetch water, and the groundwater is very clean.

In the kitchen, we used a stove connected to the kang in winter, and the kang on our side was hot, but now we have to use another stove in this weather, and the white iron chimney extends to the back of the house.

It's almost time to make lunch, and the aunt puts a pot in the yard to choose vegetables, and Uncle Liu squats there smoking a cigarette bag and pot, teasing Xiao Hei to play. Xiao Hei suffocated all the way in the car, went into the yard and sprinkled flowers, and Uncle Liu hit it off at first sight and had a lot of fun.

The four of us simply moved a small stool, sat in the yard, and chatted with Uncle Liu about the customs here. Uncle Liu was very talkative, he told us: "There's nothing fun here, it's actually just an ordinary village, stained with the light of the temple." ”

There are many people surnamed Wang in the village, and in the old society, the village was moved by the Wang family first, and the person in charge of their family was called Wang Ertunzi, so this place is called Wang Ertunzi Village. Uncle Liu is the third generation of the Liu family here, and when Uncle Liu's grandfather lived in this village, there was a prospect of Tan Temple on that Qingling Mountain.

I asked Uncle Liu: "There is no lake or pond around here, why is it called Wangtan Temple?" ”

Uncle Liu said: "I don't know, maybe there was a pond before, and there was a collapsed pit behind the mountain, which was not deep, it is estimated that it was a pond, and the water was dry." Anyway, since I can remember, I haven't seen a pool. ”

I asked again, "What about Qingling Mountain?" Why is it called Qingling Mountain? ”

Uncle Liu said: "This mountain is a god, and the mountain is a mound of earth where the gods are tired of fighting and resting." It's stained with the aura on the fairy master's belly. ”

As soon as I heard that there were still myths and stories, I became interested and urged Uncle Liu to tell them quickly.

Uncle Liu continued: "Legend has it that the gods in the sky are fighting, and when they are tired, they just hit us, so they come down and pile up a mound of earth to rest. When I was young, the mountain was lit on the fifteenth night of every month, and from the inside of that temple, as long as it was not cloudy and rainy, it would shine with blue light and shine into the sky like a headlamp, and it would shine for three days from the fifteenth to the seventeenth. The old people said that this is the fairy master who put the fairy spirit here. It was extinguished at the end of the seventeenth night, and the fog was on the morning of the eighteenth day, and it was thin, so it was called this light spirit mountain. ”

I hurriedly said, "Isn't it the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?" Watch it at night. ”

Uncle Liu sighed and said, "No, now this mountain is not spiritual, and there are thieves in the temple, which makes the fairy master angry, and he doesn't shine anymore." ”

The aunt who had been silent next to him hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Don't you talk nonsense, rot your mouth of Liu Laogou." ”

When we heard this, we laughed, and Sister Hua said, "Uncle's name is so elegant." ”

Uncle Liu picked up the cigarette pouch, and I saw that Uncle Liu's cigarette pouch was not on fire, and then I heard Uncle Liu say that he smoked and coughed in the morning, and he had to wait until he had lunch to smoke.

Uncle Liu replied to Sister Hua: "I am a single seedling, the first five brothers are not alive, I was born to call the dog in order to make a living, when I was a child, the village people called the six dogs, this old can not be changed to be called Liu Laogou." The official name on my household registration book is Liu Dezhu, and he was given by the village gentleman. ”

We laughed even harder, and explained to the uncle that it was called high-end foreign style, and the uncle laughed and said that they all learned from those young people.

I didn't forget the topic just now, and continued to ask: "Uncle, what you just said is not working, and it is no longer shining, because of what?" ”

Uncle Liu said: "There are thieves in the temple, the unfilial son of the old Wang family, the gambling man, the ancestral grave if he loses no money, the edge of the village is planed to the neighboring village, and he does not dare to go home if he violates the royal law outside, and he shaves the monk in Wangtan Temple, there may be forty or fifty years, I am sixty-two this year, he is one or two years older than me, he beat me when I was a child, I know this Lai Pizi, he went down the mountain to buy things at that time, I recognized him at a glance." More than ten years ago, he was in charge of things in the temple, it rained heavily on the night of the fifteenth day of the month, and the god thundered Wangtan Temple, and then the mountain had no fairy spirit, and the fifteenth night did not shine. I was lying on the window that night, but I watched the thunder come down. ”

The aunt said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, your eyes are almost blind, and you can still see the thunderbolts on the mountain?" ”

The uncle said angrily: "You are a mother-in-law who married from another village, you know that you are slippery, I was not very old at that time, my eyes are good, you are asleep, I can watch it." ”

The aunt said again: "Yes, I know that you are six, if you don't give you six dogs to cook, you will starve to death." ”

A few of us burst into laughter again.
