The old man didn't say anything, just continued to fan the fan.

Yang Wanwan turned her back to the old man, and she carried a linen canvas bag in her hand, "In your story, there are a few points that make me feel strange. I couldn't help but think of other possibilities. So, a terrifying idea took shape. With my guess, all the weirdness makes sense. ”

"Little doll, tell me about it. The old man stepped back into his wicker chair, closed his eyes, and basked in the sun.

"The first thing I felt strange was that under your mother's repeated warnings, in the face of strangers who broke into your home, your first reaction was not to be afraid of helplessness, but to break the agreement with your mother and speak, and it was the word 'Buddha statue' that made your mother confused, and covered your mouth in a hurry, and finally met the suspicion of that group of young people. ”

The old man laughed, and the folds on his face were piled together, "Little doll, you are a bit far-fetched!"

Yang Wanwan pursed her lips, "Of course, this alone doesn't mean anything. When I heard this, I just thought it was a little strange. Next, your mother told you to take the path to find your father, and in fact, I do believe that you are taking the same path. However, this is strange. From your description, it was a bunch of noisy and energetic young people, and if they were following you to the cave, why didn't you even notice it?"

Yang Wanwan turned around and looked directly at the old man, "The shouting can be hidden, as long as you endure it and don't speak." But the footsteps of a bunch of people and horses could not have made even a little movement. Along the way, if you notice something unusual, it won't happen!"

The old man put the fan on his forehead and put his hands on his belly, "Very interesting insight, and then what?"

"You said you were hiding behind your father, and at this time, the men rushed in. After their leader said a few words, the rest of them began to wave their bats at each other. There's a young woman in the middle of the turbulence and pulls you out. Why did she do that? The most important thing in those days was political correctness, and all morality did not apply. People may feel sorry for a child, but as one of those people, to pull you out is to identify with you as an 'enemy', which is a rebellion against the Great Leader. ”

The old man stopped talking.

"Another point is that there is a paragraph in your story that is dispensable, in other words, that paragraph is completely superfluous. When I first listened to your story, I thought that your description of that passage might be to make it easier for me to understand the characteristics of that era: gloomy, gloomy, and terrifying...... But I think anyone with a little knowledge knows what kind of shadow China was hanging in during that decade. ”

The fan slipped off the old man's face, revealing his suddenly enlightened countenance.

"That's right, you mentioned that after you came out of the house, you heard screams coming from Wang Mazi's house next door. You put your eyes on the crack in the door and saw Wang Mazi being beaten by the group of young people. Then, you run away. I think this description is half true and half false. Wang Mazi was beaten is true, in fact, when you say Wang Mazi, you realize that something is wrong. You made up the story of your run away to lie to me, didn't you?"

The old man did not move.

"Because it really happened, you said this one very naturally. But if I don't make up a lie, then I will easily know the truth. ”

Yang Wanwan took a deep breath, "The truth is that you didn't run away, on the contrary, you opened the door of Wang Mazi's house." They don't follow you to the cave, they go there with your guidance. The reason why the young woman pulled you out in the turbulence is because you are not an 'enemy' in your own right, but a hero who is politically correct and reports your parents. You reported your father at Wang Mazi's house. ”

The old man smiled again, "It is indeed a very convincing conjecture, in that case, you might as well guess why I did it." ”

Yang Wanwan took the battle post, "From your description throughout, I can only think of one reason. That is, you hate that broken arm Nyorai, and you know that your parents, and even other Nanling people, can't do without this extremely powerful Buddha statue, so you want to destroy it through the hands of these people. You're smart, and although you don't know what's going on, you know why those young people are here through a short period of insight. It's just that you don't realize that your whistleblowing will trigger ...... So, at the end of the story, you feel guilty until now. ”

The old man sighed.

After Yang Wanwan finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave, "Grandpa, this is just a guess on my part, and only you know the truth." ”

The old man didn't face the problem directly, but said, "Little doll, whether you believe it or not, that Buddha statue is really evil." I took those people, found it, and then my father died. The young man cut off one of his arms, and then he himself lost one. That's what it's ...... Revenge!"

Yang Wanwan shook her head, "There is a cause to have an effect, I believe that it is you who planted the cause and finally reaped the fruit." Many retributions are nothing more than reincarnation of cause and effect. ”

"You doll is really ......," the old man sighed again and muttered, "Cause and effect......

Yang Wanwan was carrying a linen canvas bag, and she had already walked out of the way, and just as she was about to walk around the corner, an old man's words came from behind.

"May 15, Suzaku Bridgehead. Garan Temple, dancing in white. Hey, you girl, even if I don't tell you, you'll find a way to find it, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Wanwan stopped walking, but did not turn his head.

"By the Suzaku Bridge, Garan Temple, Duanyang Festival, Golden Buddha is present. Little doll, listen to my advice, don't make a wish on that Buddha statue......" The old man's voice trembled a little.

Yang Wanwan glanced back, and saw the old man leaning over, holding a pu fan in one hand and a teapot in the other, trembling and walking back.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the old man's shadow was torn into a long strip.

"Thank you. After Yang Wanwan said this, she really went away.

"Hey—" There was a faint exclamation, which was not caught by anyone, and then dissipated into the air.

Suzaku Bridge, Garan Temple. On May 15th, I will go to see the Golden Buddha.
