Chapter 115: The Widow's Temple
Seeing this scene, I was so frightened that I didn't even bother to lift my pants, so I ran out.
The toilet was next to the sink with a layer of water on the floor, and a slippery foot really made me fall on my heels.
The concrete floor was so hard that I fell on my head and fainted.
The next morning, I was woken up by Brother Eagle who had come to wash, and the first thing I did when I woke up was to look up at the window in a panic.
On that clothesline, there is a very eye-catching bright red cheongsam!
Brother Big Eagle saw me looking at the window and said with a smile:
"Brother, why are you fainting here, can't you be scared by this clothes?"
I drank a lot of alcohol last night, and the light in this bathroom was dim, could it be that I was dazzled and mistook this red cheongsam for an adult?
I was helped up by Brother Big Eagle, rubbed my head and said:
"Brother Big Eagle, don't you say that we just live in this building, where did this come from a woman's red cheongsam?"
Brother Big Eagle laughed and said:
"This one, it's your sister-in-law's."
I glanced at the red cheongsam that had not yet dried and asked suspiciously:
"My sister-in-law came in the middle of the night last night? She washed the clothes? ”
Brother Eagle smiled and nodded, and carried me out of the bathroom, and as I passed by his room, I asked again:
"Brother Daying, was the Peking Opera in your house also sung by your sister-in-law last night?"
"Yes, your sister-in-law likes to wear cheongsam and sing Peking Opera and other quintessential things, do you make a noise until you sleep?"
I breathed a sigh of relief.
It's nothing to make me sleep, as long as it's not dirty, so he replied:
"It's okay, Brother Eagle, I'll just ask casually"
"You don't have a bad head, do you want to go to the hospital?"
"It's not broken, the toilet floor is slippery, I accidentally slipped and fell, it's okay"
When Brother Eagle saw me and said that it didn't matter, he helped me back to my room to rest and said that he would bring me food later.
When I returned to the room, I have been thinking about the file bag, and to be honest, Lao Wu should not be mentally retarded enough to hide such an important thing in a place that he is not familiar with, but that Boss Zhang does not admit it.
I was thinking of a way when Lao Liu knocked on the door and came in to bring me food.
When he saw that I was still lying on the bed in my pajamas, he sneered and said:
"It's quite comfortable for two people to live in a dormitory building, right?"
Lao Liu brought me a meal, obviously Brother Daying told him something, this will actually bury me, I took the meal and replied:
"Don't mention it, I saw a red cheongsam hanging in the window in the toilet last night, I thought it was a person, and it almost scared me to death"
Lao Liu sat next to me on the edge of the bed and didn't speak, I said while eating:
"Lao Liu, there are so many rooms in this dormitory building, why did they let us live separately?"
Lao Liu shook his head.
"I don't know, I stayed at the young boss's house last night"
"You went to live in his house? By the way, the boss doesn't admit the matter of the file bag, do you say he is pretending to be or not"
Lao Liu narrowed his eyes and said:
"I chatted with him for a while last night, this person doesn't look young, but he is not an ordinary person with a careful mind, it is not easy to gain his trust, and it is really hard to say whether he knows about this file bag or not"
I sighed, took a bite of food into my mouth, and said:
"If you want to say that you don't know at all, you shouldn't leave the two of us, after all, it's such a big deal, I guess they're also observing"
Really said Cao Cao Cao arrived, I was chatting with Lao Liu Zheng about this young boss, and he knocked on the door and came in.
When he saw me, he eagerly asked me if I had fallen badly, and after I told him that it was not in the way, I talked about something else.
I had the heart to talk to him about the file bag, and I kept hinting at him in the chat, telling him that I was a friend of Lao Wu and a person who could be trusted, but this kid didn't get into my topic, and always smiled and was ambiguous and sloppy.
Chatting and chatting, Boss Zhang asked me more meaningfully:
"There is a legend in our village, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
I smiled and said:
"I know, as soon as I entered the village, I heard the villagers say that there is a three-legged toad in your village, and if you hold it and wrap it in a red cloth, you can turn it into gold."
I couldn't hold back my laughter when I said that.
Boss Zhang didn't laugh, and said in a calm tone:
"The saying that toads turn into gold has been passed down from ancestors, but three-legged toads do exist, but they are not easy to catch"
"Why is it so hard to catch, you can run fast with three legs?"
"That's not it, this toad rarely appears in the fields, and no one dares to go to the most concentrated places"
This statement has aroused my interest, the red cloth is that if there is really a three-legged toad, then it will not be rich, this society that sees money, and there are places where people who are greedy for money dare not go?
Without waiting for me to ask, Boss Zhang continued:
"There is a ruined temple on the north slope of our village for many years, it used to be a fox fairy temple, and later when there was a war, many people took refuge in the temple and were killed, and no one worshiped the temple anymore."
I especially like to listen to this wild legend of the fairy in the mountain village, and I said with a smile while eating:
"Where are there no dead people in war, there are dead people everywhere in war, and there is no way to live if you think about it like this"
Boss Zhang shook his head with a smile and said:
"A group of refuge was killed by the older generation, and we can't verify it, but in recent decades, there have been many evil things in this wild temple, since I can remember when I was a child, there have been more than ten widows in our village who hanged themselves in this temple, and later it was renamed the widow's temple."
The Widow's Temple?
I was stunned when I heard this:
"Why did the widow hang herself in the temple?"
"I don't know, so it's an evil door, the year before last, the Liu family man had an accident at the construction site in the city, and his daughter-in-law went to the temple to hang himself, and no one dared to accept the corpse, and it is said that now the bones are still hanging in it like wind chimes."
The taste was a bit heavy, and my appetite was gone, so I put down my chopsticks and drank a sip of water, and asked:
"Then what does this widow's temple have to do with the three-legged toad?"
Boss Zhang said with a smile:
"There is an orphan named Guo Dada'er in our village, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, he was not afraid of anything, he sneaked into the widow's temple a while ago and caught a three-legged toad out, saying that the pillars there were full of such toads."
I glanced at Lao Liu in disbelief, his face strained as if he didn't mean to speak.
"No wonder your village has become popular to find toads, it is estimated that it is to see Guo Dada's eyes red."
"Yes, Guo Daring got rich after catching the toad, and he built a house for himself, so everyone has been looking for toads everywhere recently, but Guo Daring has only been to the widow's temple once, and he didn't dare to go again, he said that it was really haunted, and he almost didn't come out"
Although this story is terrifying, I am fascinated by it, but I didn't expect that at the end of the conversation, Boss Zhang paused for a while and said meaningfully:
"These three-legged toads can not only turn into gold, but also cure diseases, my eldest brother and daughter-in-law are seriously ill, and the home remedies given to him by the doctor are just like the three-legged toad, so ........"
I heard that this was not a good thing, and then asked:
"So what?"
Boss Zhang stood up and smiled embarrassedly and said:
"I've seen a lot of Mr. Yin and Yang who are out of fortune telling, I think you two seem to know a little bit about that temperament, especially this old man, right? If you two are really capable, please help me go into the temple and get a few three-legged toads to drug my sister-in-law."
I was embarrassed when I said this, and I thought to myself: You are so embarrassed to open your mouth, Lao Liu and I stayed with you for a night, and you let us both go to the haunted widow's temple to catch toads?
What eldest brother and daughter-in-law are seriously ill, I still clearly heard her singing Peking Opera in Brother Daying's room last night!!
I was just about to open my mouth to scold him, but I didn't expect Boss Zhang to continue:
"It's not in vain for you to look for it, if it's done, I'll exchange it with you"
Boss Zhang's tone was unusually heavy when he said the word "thing", and he could tell that he was deliberately hinting at the file bag that he was referring to when he said the things changed.
However, we mentioned it first, and we don't guarantee that he knows our weaknesses and talks nonsense.
I was about to refuse, but Lao Liu coughed on the side and said:
"It's not a big problem, if there are really three-legged toads in this widow's temple, I'll catch a few for you."
Seeing that Lao Liu agreed, Boss Zhang thanked him excitedly and said:
"It's not reluctant, it's still safety first"
After Boss Zhang said this, he didn't stay any longer, got up and went out.
After he left, I was puzzled and asked Lao Liu why he didn't know if he had a file bag in his hand and why he agreed to this errand.
Lao Liu sneered and said:
"Don't you see it yet? Now we are testing each other and distrusting each other, he can afford to drag it out, let's drag it out, whether it's true or not, we have to take a step forward and try it first."
I listened to Lao Liu's words and suddenly relieved my senses, I have to admire Jiang is still old and spicy, yes, we have always been suspicious and distrustful of each other, and more importantly, we are in a hurry, Lao Wu doesn't know when he will confess, if once he loosens his mouth, someone from above will send it, it will be all night!!
Let's try it, after discussing it with Lao Liu, I decided to go to the village first to find Guo Daring, who had been to the widow's temple, to understand the situation.
Although Guo Daring's family lives in a partial way, the house is indeed new and big!
Guo Da'er is thin, looks like he is in his twenties and has a shaved head, he is cleaning up in the yard at the moment, and after listening to what we said, his originally smiling face changed color at that time.
Tilting his head, he said:
"Foreign? Want to get rich and want to go crazy? ”
I quickly explained to him:
"No, I just want to catch a toad to make medicinal herbs"
Guo Daring waved his hand and smiled when he heard this, and said:
"Have a life to go in and catch a toad, do you have a life to come out? Did I hear what I saw when I entered the widow's temple? ”
"What do you see?" I asked softly.
Guo Daring leaned close to me and whispered:
"A moving bone shelf!!"
