Chapter 173: Wish-repayment

From Nanluo County to the north is Hua County, there are not many people in the barren mountains and mountains along the way, only a few dilapidated adobe houses can occasionally be seen on the roadside, where you can eat and stay, and the nature of the post station is almost the same, but now it has to be called a hotel.

Lao Wu and his family temporarily lived in a very small hotel, only providing a place to sleep in the wind and rain, and nothing else, and it cost more to eat. Fortunately, the third brother brought some food in advance, and he ate early and went to bed early that night, but he didn't expect that Hu Da Arm would be retributed after the incident, and there was a big handprint on his buttocks.

Lao Wu didn't know how to get this beard, so he held an oil lamp and asked him: "Second brother, you just went out after dinner, where did you go?" Did you get into a fight and get someone to beat you on the ground? ”

"Fart, fart! Who am I! Can I still be beaten? I really don't know what's going on, I was sleeping well just now, and suddenly this butt starts to hurt, oops, something is wrong! Why is it so swollen, oh my god, is it snake venom? Yes? Hu squatted on the ground and called.

Lao Wu broke out in a cold sweat, the door of this room was closed well, if someone came in, he would definitely find out, but it was so strange, Hu Dawei was slapped twice for no reason, and he was slapped on the ass like punishing a child. Suddenly thinking of punishing the child, Lao Wu unconsciously glanced at his head, then swallowed his saliva and stared at Hu Dawei and asked him: "Second child, how many times did you slap that mud statue in that temple during the day?" ”

Hu Da covered his buttocks and said, "When is it, you still ask about this, hurry up and help me find some medicine!" Oops, I can't do it! But after finishing speaking, Hu Dabao suddenly remembered something, and then slowly raised his head to look at Lao Wu and said, "It seems, it seems to have slapped the old man left and right." ”

There was no way to do it at night, Lao Wu went out next door and called up the man surnamed Wan who opened a hotel, because the man's accent was a local, and it was not far from Lao Wu's hometown, so when he came, he chatted for a while, Lao Wu felt that he might have a way, so he first rolled the snake to death and then fanned the mud statue in the broken temple. The full name of this surnamed Wan is Wan Xingming, who is in his thirties, and as soon as he heard what Lao Wu said, he came to his senses at that time, and followed Lao Wu into the house in a hurry to see Hu Dafang still squatting on the ground and shouting.

Wan Xingming frowned and said, "Oh, what have you all done!" Why did you go to that ghost temple? also slapped the old ghost's head, isn't this enough to live to find death? ”

"Ghost Temple?" Lao Wu asked suspiciously. He remembered that the temple he had been to should be called Liantian Temple, how could it become a ghost temple in this person's mouth?

Wan Xingming knew that Lao Wu didn't understand, but he hurriedly dragged Hu Da on his shoulder and said, "Don't squat, kowtow, kowtow!" ”

"your grandma! Shall I kowtow to you? You're not afraid of losing your life? Hu Da's aching face was wrinkled together, thinking that Wan Xingming said that he was going to kowtow to him, and scolded him when he opened his mouth.

Wan Xingming waved his hand and said, "What, it's not kowtow to me, you have to kowtow to the old ghost, or it's over!" Look at him, I'm going to find some burning paper! ”

Hu Da Arm didn't believe in evil, how to say that he didn't kowtow, Lao Wu and Xiao Qi forcibly grabbed him, and let him press his head in the direction of the small temple and hit the ground three times, almost knocking Hu Da Arm unconscious. At this time, there was a fire in the courtyard, Lao Wu went out to take a look, it was Wan Xingming who lit a pile of burning paper, and knelt by the fire and kept kowtowing, muttering in his mouth: "I have made a wish, I have a wish, I wish the child is not sensible, your boss has a lot of it, go back quickly, kowtow to you, go back quickly" and then kept repeating those words.

Lao Wu let him talk about the cool breeze behind him, and he always felt that something was standing beside him, and he was nervous when he suddenly heard Hu Da's movement.

"Oops? Hey, I said, my ass is swollen, Xiao Qi help me see if it's okay! ”

Lao Wu turned his head to look into the house when he heard the voice, but he didn't expect that the corner of his eye swept to the corner of the wall at the moment when he turned his head, and there was a long-bearded old man standing in the corner, and he was looking at Lao Wu with a smile.

Wan Xingming quietly looked up everywhere, then let out a sigh and patted the ash in his hand, trampled on the pile of burning paper, walked to Lao Wu in the dark, and asked him in a low voice: "This brother, did you see something?" Lao Wu did see something unusual, but he didn't know what to say, seeing that Hu Dabo seemed to be fine, he thanked Wan Xingming, and then was about to go back to the house to sleep, but he was just about to close the door, and suddenly saw Wan Xingming squeezing in with a smiling face.

Lao Wu thought that this person might want to ask him for money, so he planned to take some money out of his clothes and give it to him, but before he could put his hand into his pocket, he heard Wan Xingming shake his head with a smile and said: "Don't, don't, I didn't come in to ask you for money, I was embarrassed to ask more when you came, and it was Huaxian County to the north, what are you doing, brother?" At this time, Hu Dafang had already fallen asleep on the kang, and the remaining Xiaoqi was sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, but he still looked at Lao Wu reluctantly. Lao Wu waved and said let him sleep, and he talked to this brother about something.

Wan Xingming is very weird, when they come during the day, they love to ignore it, and if they want to drink some water, Xiao Qi himself got it out of the well, why are you doing it with a smiling face now?

There was a small oil lamp on the table, and the flame swayed from side to side, and it felt like it was going to go out at any moment, but it was always strong. Lao Wu looked at the oil lamp in a daze for some reason, and suddenly remembered that there was a person sitting opposite, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Wan Xingming, and then said: "Brother, it's really thanks to you, our third brother is unfamiliar with life, and there is really nothing to do when something happens." ”

But after Wan Xingming took the cigarette, he put it in his nose and smelled it from beginning to end, and his movements and posture were special, not like people in the mountains. Without waiting for Lao Wu to speak, Wan Xingming lit a cigarette with the flame of an oil lamp, took a hard breath, and slowly exhaled it out, looking very enjoyable.

"Oops, I'm smoking again, and I've forgotten how many years I've not smelled it." Wan Xingming squinted his eyes and muttered to himself, but then suddenly stared at Lao Wu, those two eyes were shining under the oil lamp, and said to Lao Wu with a cracked mouth: "I don't know where the eldest brother is going to make a fortune?" ”

Lao Wu was stunned when he heard this, took down the cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes and asked Wan Xingming: "If you don't get mud, where can you get rich?" ”

Wan Xingming then quickly extinguished the cigarette, and then said to Lao Wu with a revealing face: "Oops! I knew it was my own! When you came during the day, I could see at a glance that the eldest brother was running to the tomb? I'm really sorry, the tomb has been stepped on by the brothers and ready to start, you came a little late. But since we have a crush on a tomb, as long as the eldest brother works with us, how about our brothers divide the Ming artifact inside? ”

Hearing him say this, Lao Wu realized that this Wan Xingming was a tomb robber, and he used the identity of opening a hotel as a cover to prepare to make a move on a nearby tomb, but he thought that Lao Wu and his brothers were all tomb robbers, and they also came to that tomb, so they reacted a little cautiously during the day, and ignored Lao Wu, but secretly stared at them. But after encountering such an incident at night, he planned to directly find out the relationship, either do it together, or find another place to make a fortune.

Lao Wu smoked a cigarette and said: "Brother, first of all, I admire your eyesight, I did this business, and I almost lost my life in it, but now I am only a grave relocation team in Lushi County, Henan, working for the public, and I have long stopped robbing tombs. ”

Hearing Lao Wu say this, Wan Xingming was a little relieved, got up and clasped his fists with his hands and said a few polite words to Lao Wu, what kind of peer meeting was disturbed, and then he was about to go back to his room to sleep, but before he could take a step, he was suddenly dragged by Lao Wu and asked him to sit down again.

Wan Xingming still maintained the posture of clenching his hands into fists, and asked Lao Wu suspiciously: "Isn't there anything else going on with my brother?" ”

Lao Wu glanced at the snoring Hu Dawei, and then said, "I just want to ask, why do you call that temple a ghost temple?" And why did my brother slap the mud like two slaps and his own buttocks were swollen? Judging by your reaction just now, it seems that you know something, can you tell my brother? After speaking, he handed Wan Xingming a cigarette.

Wan Xingming was not polite, smoking a cigarette and baring his teeth and laughing in a low voice: "Actually, I also listened to what those fellow villagers said, the temple you went to was called Liantian Temple before." The white-bearded old man enshrined in this temple is a local court official in the past, and after returning to his hometown, he has done a lot of good things for the people by building bridges and paving roads in the county. A hundred years after him, the county paid to build a temple in that place, so that the immortal could still shelter this place after the death of the great official. It may be that the official really became an immortal after his death, as long as he went to the temple and prayed sincerely, it would definitely come true. But many years ago, a poor man came to the temple with a few copper plates, kowtowed respectfully and sincerely to the clay statue of the great official, and prayed that he could make a fortune. But I didn't expect that the poor man would really develop in the future, it was really a lot of money, and there was no place to spend the money. But he forgot about praying with the clay statue of the big official in the temple before, and he forgot to come back and make a vow. ”

Wan Xingming paused when he said this, looked at Lao Wu with a strange smile and continued: "A few years after that person made a fortune, he was crushed to death by those precious and valuable objects because of the collapse of the antique shelf in his home, and his death was miserable. It is said that from now on, it will not be useful to go to that temple to pray again, and if you go to ask for wealth, you will become poorer and poorer, and you will have to die in a few years. Some people say that the temple has become the Yama Temple, and the people who go there must worship the Lord of Yama! How good can that be? But there is a person who specializes in building temples and temples said that this is the god in the temple who is angry, and the person who went to pray has not yet asked for what he wants, and he has been directly repaid. Those who go to beg for life will definitely return their lives! ”
