Chapter 56: The Temple
While waiting for the flight at the airport, Xiao Kai called Ren Licheng again and reported to him Tong Dajiang's movements.
It turned out that Tong Dajiang had left Zhu Debiao's house at this time. Ren Licheng also observed all this through his satellite mobile phone, and looked at his watch, Tong Dajiang had only been at Zhu Debiao's house for an hour.
Ren Licheng guessed that Zhu Debiao was likely to have achieved his goal, otherwise he would not have let Tong Dajiang go so easily. So what would he have gotten from Tong Dajiang, a tip of the Rabbis treasure map?
He suddenly felt that he would miss a lot of things when he went to XC to pick up the treasures in the Lin family's mansion during this time period.
However, Ren Licheng still stepped on the plane to XC without hesitation. Whatever it is, wait until he comes back and then deal with it calmly!
The uninhabited area described in the system is in a place called Shigatse in XC, where Ren Licheng first flew to Lhasa, and then rented a Wuling Hongguang in the local area and drove to Shigatse through navigation.
After going all the way down like this, by the time Ren Licheng arrived in Shigatse, it was already the second night.
Driving to the small mountain village closest to the no-man's land, Ren Licheng parked the car on the side of the road, preparing to find a hotel here to stay in first, and then go after a day's rest.
This small mountain village is still relatively backward, the whole village has no electricity, and every household still uses the most primitive lights. The villagers wore Tibetan robes and stood in front of their houses leaning on the door stake to look at Ren Licheng, but no one went up to talk to Ren Licheng, as if he was a freak.
Ren Licheng always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness here.
After walking around the village, there was no inn to be found, Ren Licheng had to sigh secretly and return to Wuling Hongguang parked at the edge of the village, it seems that he can only spend the night in the car tonight. Fortunately, he had bought all the daily necessities, including clothes, in Lhasa before, otherwise he would be in trouble now.
Ren Licheng had just returned to a little girl with a dark face and a Tibetan robe who was lying in front of his car, drawing on the top with stones, and the door of the car had been scratched by stones.
Ren Licheng hurriedly ran over and stopped him sharply: "Hey, which child are you, haven't adults taught you not to touch other people's things at will!"
If it was another child, he was yelled at by Ren Licheng, and he was afraid that he would be so frightened that he would cry and go home to find his mother. However, this child was not afraid at all, but stared at Ren Licheng and asked, "Is this your thing?"
Ren Licheng said angrily: "It's not mine, is it still yours?"
The little girl continued: "Then since it's your thing, what if I want to draw, is it possible that you still have to worry about my child?"
When the little girl said this, Ren Licheng was speechless. I just thought that this little girl was very strange, and that the words were like those of a six or seven-year-old child.
"Well, I don't care about you. But now that I'm going to rest, you should hurry home. A wave of sleepiness hit, and Ren Licheng didn't bother to waste his tongue on the thousands of yuan in car repair fees and the little girl.
"No, I'm not done yet. The little girl looked like she was not leaving.
Although the other party is just a child, this wayward behavior still can't help but make Ren Licheng angry.
The little girl saw that Ren Licheng was unhappy, and said, "You won't rest in this broken copper and iron tonight, right? ”
Ren Licheng stared at the little girl in disbelief, and there was a sense of adult-like vicissitudes on her face.
It's a strange place, but thinking that this is the only person in the village who talks to him, maybe he can really find a place to live. Ren Licheng believed the little girl for the time being, and said helplessly: "Then you can draw quickly." ”
With Ren Licheng's approval, the little girl took the stone and carved it in front of the car even more unscrupulously, making a screeching sound.
After drawing for some time, the little girl clapped her hands and finished speaking. Ren Licheng walked over curiously to see, the little girl drew a strange symbol crookedly in the car, and the more Ren Licheng looked at it, the more he felt that it seemed to be a sacrificial symbol.
But Ren Licheng would not be idle enough to take a child's graffiti seriously, so he turned his head and asked the little girl: "Can you take me to find a place to spend the night now?"
The little girl looked at her masterpiece and seemed satisfied, nodded, and then walked on her own.
Ren Licheng hurriedly went back to the car to get some luggage, parked the car at the village gate, and strode to catch up with the little girl in front.
The little girl led Ren Licheng to the door of an ancient temple. Ren Licheng was stunned, when he was wandering around the village just now, he didn't see this temple, and what was even more strange was that there could still be a temple in this kind of small mountain village.
Ren Licheng thought to himself, this is not a ghost.
The little girl walked up and knocked on the rusty iron doorknob. After a while, an elderly monk wearing a shabby red monk's robe, carrying a lantern in his hand, opened the door. Ren Licheng also deliberately glanced behind the monk, there was a shadow, it was a person, and he was relieved.
When the monk saw the little girl, there was a gloomy color between his eyebrows, but when he saw Ren Licheng, he turned into doubt and asked, "Are you?"
Ren Licheng hurriedly explained: "I came to travel, I happened to pass by this village, I wanted to find a place to spend the night, and I will leave tomorrow." Seeing that the monk still had a skeptical expression, Ren Licheng said again: "Oh, I brought this child, and she said that there was a place to rest, so she brought me here." ”
The monk glanced at Ren Licheng, and then at the absent-minded little girl, nodded helplessly, and muttered: "What are you visiting this place?" Forget it, come with me, there are still empty rooms in the temple, you can stay there for a night tonight." ”
After speaking, the monk turned around and took Ren Licheng to the temple.
As if she knew her task was accomplished, the little girl didn't say anything, turned around and left. Ren Licheng wanted to stop her, but she walked quickly, and disappeared into the night as soon as she slipped through the smoke.
Ren Licheng couldn't help but ask the monk: "Did that little girl come to the temple often just now?"
The monk said expressionlessly: "She is a mountain baby, she is very unlucky, you better stay away from her, if you are entangled by her, you will be unlucky." ”
The monk said it evilly, but Ren Licheng is not a superstitious person, just if this mountain baby is a disgusted child, it is really annoying to see her naughty appearance.
Ren Licheng is too lazy to meddle in things, he is here to find no man's land, and take the treasures of the Lin family's mansion inside, after taking it, he will immediately go back to the demon capital to do business, and there is no time to delay here.
The monk arranged a simple guest room for Ren Licheng, and Ren Licheng looked at the old and dusty furniture inside, but he didn't dislike it, after all, it was better to sleep here than in the car.
Ren Licheng simply cleaned up and fell asleep.
