Chapter VIII Rules for Hanging Girders
In that mountain village, many families have built new houses, one-storey, brick and concrete houses.
But the man took me to a very old blue brick house. The foundation of the stone, after going up five or six steps, leads to a door, to the left of which is the kitchen, and to the right is the bathroom. When I entered the door, I took a special look at it, and the bathroom was covered with floor tiles, which was quite clean.
Further inside is a small courtyard, and there is a house three steps up the back of the courtyard. It's very old, even the windows are still made of wood, and they are carved with tweed.
I said, "Your house is so well preserved. ”
"Usually no one lives there, but someone will come and help clean up." He pushed open the door of the house, and the threshold was sunken and sunken, still black and shiny. In the hall, a meal was already set on a low table. He said, "This house is my ancestor's house." I haven't been back for a long time either. I will stay here for a while. Let's sit down and eat. ”
I was really hungry, and for so many days in this mountain village, I ate the most instant noodles. You can't buy vegetables in the mountain villages, and pork is only available in the morning. I can't buy vegetables, so I have to eat instant noodles. So I didn't say anything polite to him, picked up the bowl and ate it in a big bite.
After several bites, I put down the bowl again and looked at him. He sat across from me, didn't eat himself, just watched me eat.
I quickly wiped my mouth: "I'm sorry, I, your food is delicious." You can eat it too. ”
"Eat more if it's delicious."
The atmosphere was a little awkward. I could only change the subject and ask, "What's going on with the God of Wealth Temple in that village?" Do you know? ”
"The God of Wealth temple is not the God of Wealth at all, but a village bully who was beaten to death with a sand gun in the fifties and sixties. That temple was originally an empty temple, and there were no immortals at all. After his death, within a few months he took possession of the temple and enjoyed the worship of the villagers. ”
I was amazed: "You, how do you know?" Is the Temple of Wealth really haunted? Can you see that kind of thing? ”
He nodded, "I can see it." Eat it. Anyway, the temple has fallen, and in the past few years, he has not dared to come out and be arrogant. ”
As you can see from the furnishings in their home, this house is really rarely inhabited. And now he should be the only one who lives.
After dinner, he sent me back to school. There are no words or actions that are out of the ordinary. I have a crush on him. Such men are rare.
Standing at the school gate, he said, "If you don't like living in the school so much, move to me." I cook for you every day. ”
"How embarrassing is that?"
"I'm embarrassed to pay for food. I'm alone in that house right now, and there's a lot of room. ”
"Huh?" I'm a little confused! Even if I had a crush on him, the offer was too sudden. On the first day we met, he proposed to live together. My face flushed a little, and I quickly pointed to the inside of the school: "Then I'll go back first." It's dark, bye-bye! ”
I ran away. Rushed back to the room, closed the door, leaned against the panel, and clutched his pounding heart. I couldn't help but laugh. Well, my market is not bad, chick. When you go to this mountain village, you can still meet this kind of high-quality man. Worst! Forgot to ask him what his name was!
I walked to the window of my room, opened it proudly, and said to the little mound over there, "You! Let's separate yin and yang, what bullshit and yin marriage. Mother, no, the chick is not afraid of you! Those two nights, just like a spring dream, you are cool, I am also cool! Fart! I'm not happy! Today, I have a man I like, little girl, and you dare to appear again. I'll go to the township, buy a big pot of dog blood, and give you a dog blood! Fill the top with cement! Let you not absorb the qi of heaven and earth, and let you suffocate to death in the grave. No, you're dead. Then let you die and die in that grave! Remember! Chick I'm not to mess with! ”
The window snapped shut. This passage is the practice of fooling people that I found on the Internet, but I don't know if it's true. And even if it's true, I don't think it will be able to do it. It's just to scare and scare ghosts.
But it seemed that my scare worked, and that night, he didn't show up. I had a rare good dream. I dreamed of the handsome guy I met today and took me to eat delicious food. A table full of whatever I want.
After waking up, I felt that I must have such a dream in this mountain village when there was no oil and water in my stomach.
In the morning, when I was reading in the morning, I was still taking those children with me, and when I was reading "One, Two, Three, Four, Hardware, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth", the village chief brought three or four old people to the school and asked me to go to the office to talk.
When I entered the office, those people were all sitting, and when they saw me coming in, one of the old men asked sharply, "Teacher Yin, tell me how the Temple of Wealth was demolished by you." ”
I see, they're here to question me. And I didn't do anything wrong, they all sit, I stood? There were no extra chairs left in the office, so I flashed into the next classroom, grabbed a chair, sat down in front of them again, and replied, "It's none of my business, I left here early on Saturday morning on the earliest bus." I don't know when the Temple of Wealth was demolished. ”
The old man said, "You deserve to die, it's all because of you that you broke the rules of our village." According to the rules, you should be hung on a girder and rebuild the Temple of Wealth. ”
I looked at the old headmaster and a few teachers sitting next to me in amazement, and even the village chief just lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, and no one spoke for me. I didn't have time to speak, and these people talked in tongues, which I didn't understand, but I knew from the way they looked at me from time to time that they were thinking about how to hang me on the girder.
"You worship ghosts in the God of Wealth Temple, shouldn't you also feed the ghosts according to the rules?" The voice came from behind me. I looked back in amazement, and the man was leaning against the office door, looking at us, with a fierce look in his eyes, and a feeling that he would really do that.
The man stretched out his hand and pulled me up, and said, "She lives with me now, and if you want to hang her, then you have the ability to go to my house and catch her." ”
The man grabbed my arm and pulled me out of school. I looked at the classroom, and in the classroom window, the first-graders were still lying on the window looking at me. I said anxiously, "Wait, wait." I still have to go to class, and the children in our class ......."
"People are going to hang you from the beams, and you are still in class?" Without saying a word, he dragged me back to his house.
I was standing in the yard of their house and calling my mom on my cell phone. On the weekend, I just ran out like that, and she didn't have a phone call to ask me. I really don't know how she raised me.
"Mom! These villagers are unreasonable! The temple of the god of wealth in the village has fallen, and they want to hang me on the girders and rebuild the temple of the god of wealth. I'm quitting! ”
"Don't be stupid! You're a brigadier's wife now. Looking at the Jiang family, it seems to be really powerful. How about letting their family go away and let you transfer it out in a year? ”
"Mom, did you listen to me?" Even if I knew, my mother wouldn't believe anything about being spent, being forced by ghosts. But why doesn't my mother believe this?
"Listen, listen. You give me a good look. If you run back now, if the Jiang family gets angry, maybe your brother-in-law's next promotion will be problematic. Don't give me your brother-in-law's hind legs. ”
I hung up the phone directly, it's my sister again, it's my sister again, isn't it her own birth?
I just squatted in the yard, covered my face and cried. I don't know when, the man also squatted beside me and said to me, "As long as you live with me, the people in the village will not dare to do anything to you." Moved over? I cook for you every day. ”
I looked up, with tears still on my face, and asked, "Why was it so nice to me?" ”
He didn't answer, just smiled and wiped the tears from my face. This seems to be the first time I've had such a close relationship with a man, and of course that male ghost doesn't count. His hands, slightly cool and a little rough, and his smile was warm, but he didn't answer my question.
I had my brain in water, I was in lard, and I decided to move him here.
I've only been here for a few days and I don't have much stuff. I told the principal, asked for a leave of absence for half a day, and walked around twice, cleaned up the room on the left hand side of the hall, and moved in.
