Chapter 301: The Old Thing

Yang Fei slid the tip of his right finger a few times, and then handed over the phone, there was a half-face photo of Li Zhi on the QQ space, and a few words, which were blocked.

"Ye Xin is my friend, I told her to come over this morning to deliver something, she just sent a message in the taxi saying that there is a picture of you on it. Didn't she come with you?" Yang Fei took back his phone and glanced out the door a few times.

"You take a taxi directly to the People's Hospital, she might be there. After Li Zhi finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to play with his mobile phone.

Yang Fei ran forward a few steps, and then said: "Li Zhi, if you lie to me, you will be miserable, I will definitely beat you all over the ground to find your teeth." ”

Li Zhi smiled helplessly, and smiled helplessly in her heart, if she was willing to listen to me, there would be no such accident

Yang Fei took a taxi and rushed to the hospital. When he found it, Ye Xin was lying on the hospital bed with a thick gauze tied to his head, and when he saw Yang Fei coming in, he was a little surprised: "How do you know ......?"

"It's all my fault, you have to make up for my birthday gift!" Yang Fei lowered his head in remorse, and after greeting Ye Xin's mother, he hurriedly asked about Ye Xin's injury. After hearing that it was a skin injury, his remorseful intestines finally returned to normal.

Ye Xin was very puzzled, she hadn't told anyone about her car accident, how could Yang Fei know that she was here?

"How do you know I'm here?"

"Oh, who did you say told me you were here? It's Li Zhiyu, he is my distant relative, I saw that you photographed him when you posted on QQ space, so I asked him. He told me you were in the hospital, and I rushed over. ”

"Does he know I'm in the hospital?" Ye Xin was stunned on the hospital bed, full of surprise, and touched his wrapped head. She didn't tell anyone about it, and the more she thought about it, the more incredible she felt.

Li Zhi's words and deeds, didn't he know that there would be a car accident ahead?

How can a person predict the future?

......

After Yang Fei left, Li Zhi was ready to get up and leave his cousin's house and go to the Land Temple for a walk. As soon as he took two steps, there was no girl behind him to stop him.

"Cousin, where are you going?" My cousin, who was in her second year of high school, happened to come down from upstairs and called Li Zhi.

This is the brainless cousin who likes to pester him - Liu Lili.

Li Zhi hurriedly ran, "Don't pester me, I'll go to the toilet." ”

Liu Lili had just gotten up, still wearing pajamas, and when she saw Li Zhi running, she chased after her without thinking about anything.

"Cousin, where are you going so fast?"

Li Zhi turned a few corners and ran around the house twice, but his cousin still chased after him. In desperation, Li Zhi could only turn into the toilet, shrugged his shoulders, and made a helpless expression, "I'm talking about going to the toilet, you're a woman." ”

Liu Lili pouted, "What are you running to the toilet, cousin, we're going to go and pick up my sister-in-law later, I heard that my sister-in-law is beautiful." My cousin has been bullying us, and the two of us will go to sue when the time comes, and if my sister-in-law doesn't give justice to the host, we will bully her son in the future......"

Li Zhi was silent, waited for a while, and after there was no sound at the door, he poked his head out and hurriedly walked out of the door.

For this cousin, he is helpless, and he has loved to stick to himself since he was a child. The most devastating thing is that she spends most of her time talking about the people in their class, beauties, handsome guys, rotten girls, etc., and asks him to add the QQ of the beauties in their class.

It doesn't matter if you add the question, you Nima is studying in a distant place, and your class is 108,000 miles away from me, what's the use of adding it?

According to the positioning of the land, Li Zhi bypassed the path next to the community. After walking a few steps, Li Zhi heard footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Liu Lili tiptoeing up.

Liu Lili smiled awkwardly, and ran up in small steps, "Cousin, where are you going?"

"Land Temple. Li Zhi didn't mean to drive her away, just follow up, it doesn't matter, but there is something that must be mentioned, "Don't talk, follow me, I have something to do." ”

"Cut. ”

The two walked forward for more than a hundred meters, and saw a vigorous and simple ancient tree, with long vines slowly extending from the trunk, just like a person's long hair. Li Zhi is now the eye of a ghost, and at a glance, he knows that this tree is at least two hundred years old.

However, it looked like it was almost dying, nothing had risen, and the wishing card that had fallen on it weighed it down and almost humped it into a crescent.

There was a white-haired old man standing at the door, who looked like a fairy, especially when he was wearing a Taoist robe, he felt like a master of the world. When pilgrims come, the old man will say in a low and indifferent voice, "Please donate merit money consciously to take incense." ”

The same was true when Li Zhi walked past him.

After entering the Land Temple, Li Zhi saw three large incense sticks standing in the center of the tripod, and the fragrance was permeated in the air. When Li Yi smelled this breath, he immediately felt several times more energetic, and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

"Hurry up, boy, you have made a lot of money this time, there is at least a year's worth of incense left here, and you have to smoke at least two or three points in this mouthful." Hurry up and ban this godless idol, at least you will save a year. ”

According to Xiaolong, it was because the land temple had no gods, and all the incense offered by the people remained in the temple. It's like a woman spraying perfume, she leaves the room after spraying, but the room still smells of perfume, and it lasts for a while.

Li Zhi pulled Liu Lili on the side, "Go over and incense." ”

The two took three sticks of incense on the side, and Li Zhi noticed that there was a merit box next to the incense. The merit box is completely enclosed, but this is not difficult for Li Zhi, and the eyes only need to see a thought in it.

There are not many coins in the merit box, only a dozen yuan scattered. Looking at the temple blessing at the door again, he didn't have to think about it to understand that the money in the merit box was used by him to live. There is no salary for the temple blessings, and it depends on donations from pilgrims.

In this day and age, who wants to donate a small temple. Rich people either use it to do good deeds, donate to famous temples, or use it to enjoy life. Like this kind of small temple, not for the purpose of profit to pass down, most of the money is the kind of old men and old ladies who are over the age of the sixtieth birthday, only they believe in God, incense without donating money is disrespectful to God.

During the worship, Li Zhi looked carefully at the statue of the land. The earth statue sits on a stone platform, the body is carved out of stone, has a long beard, and has an old and kind face.

Li's hand crossed the square table, touched the bluestone stone platform, and then extended to the earth statue. A fresh breeze in the temple blows up, blowing on the land statue, raising in the early morning, the face of the land statue does not change, but there is a trace of mysterious feeling faintly.

The temple wish assassin outside the temple had his eyes wide open, turned around and collapsed into the temple, this wind, this feeling, reminded him of his childhood......

The time when God is gone.

"Even though the image is there, there is no God, and it is useless to worship. The old man looked at the young man who was touching the image of the land in front of the statue of the earth, and this sentence made him tremble.

————————————

At this moment, he saw the dust on the image of the earth pass away, and his grandfather had told him that the statue of the god was not there, and if the god returned one day, the dust on the statue would dissipate and restore its original glory.

"They're back?"

The old man stopped one step at a time, and slowly walked towards the earth, when suddenly the engine of the car sounded behind him. The old man glanced back, frowned slightly, hesitated to walk outside the temple, and greeted the two people in the car without love.

The middle-aged man who got out of the car was holding a black briefcase in his hand, with a smile on his face, and was overjoyed when he saw the old man of Miaozhu. On the other side of the car came a young man, dressed in a black suit and shiny leather shoes.

It is easy to see that young people are mixed with shopping malls, and they pay more attention to appearance.

After the middle-aged man got out of the car, he looked around and said to the old man in the temple: "Uncle, the incense of the land temple is almost equal to nothing, just like this old tree, dying, quite suitable for the situation." ”

"I won't let you demolish the land temple, this is a protected area designated by the county, and after a while, you will apply for tangible cultural heritage, and this is the whole of China. "The old man has been guarding this place for seventy or eighty years, and he is waiting for his grandfather to come back, how can he let these developers collude with officials to demolish the land temple?

They had been here a few days earlier, when he had not evicted the developer without government approval.

This time, depending on the status of the other party, he must have obtained the government's approval.

"Our county is going to develop to the north, uncle, this is our development zone. There are not a few people who come to worship in your land temple at all, and there are only some old men and old ladies who worship, so what's the use of keeping it? Our government is for the people, and the faster the county town develops, the richer everyone will be, and everyone will be able to live a well-off life. The land of the land temple is yours, and the demolition fee paid to you is naturally indispensable, don't tell me anything about cultural heritage, you are superstition, superstition blocks development, uncle, you are the sinner of our county. ”

The middle-aged man had thorns in his words, forcing the old man every sentence, with only one purpose, that is, to make the old man take a step back. Later, he took out the county's approval document and agreed to demolish the land temple, depriving the land temple of its right to protection.

The young man on the side turned back to the car, took a folder, and handed it to the old man Miaozhu, "Uncle, the demolition fee given by our company is absolutely reasonable." In the future, this will be made into a school district house, and if you think about it, those parents can buy a house here and keep their children in high school, isn't this a very happy thing for a family? You sign on this, and I can transfer it to you now, and this money is enough for you to spend a lifetime, even if you go to another place to build a more luxurious land temple, this money is more than enough. ”

The old man closed his eyes and shook his head, "The Land Temple is the residence of the land god, you demolish the temple only for personal desires, aren't you afraid of going to hell after death?"

"Foolish, God, all day long you know God, God chatters. I, Sima Kong, have been an official for more than ten years, and I have paid blood and sweat for the construction of the motherland, if there is a god, wouldn't my merit be able to go to the top and become an official and a half-job?"

Sima Kong directly stuffed the approval document in the briefcase into the old man's hand, "Go ahead and take a look, clean up the land temple today, and we'll shoot the machine in the afternoon." ”

"Brother Sikong, calm down. The young man walked up to the old man and flipped through the contract, "Uncle, the construction of the school district house is also to allow students to have more time to spend with their parents." At your age, you also know that your son wants to support but not her parents, and you don't have much time to stay with your parents. ”

The old man snorted coldly, and directly threw the approval document on the ground, "Don't give me a red face and a white face, I have crossed more bridges than you have walked." Today you want to demolish the Earth Temple, and I want to protect it. If you want to demolish the shrine, when the gods return, you will go to hell. ”

A fresh breeze slowly caressed his face, and the ancient trees behind him made a rustling sound, like a drumbeat.

There were many old ladies on the lookouts, and Liu Lili couldn't find that Li Zhi was also watching the excitement, and suddenly Liu Lili exclaimed, "The land seems to be cracked!"

Everyone looked at the temple, the stone statue in the temple was from head to foot, the stone platform was like a thunderbolt falling, and the black cracks slowly expanded. A little bit of golden light emanated, and the temple in front of the car stood outside the temple with the crowd abandoned, and his hands and face trembled involuntarily.

"It's back, the land god is back. ”

Miao Zhu muttered to himself in a low voice, his tone full of shock and joy. He slowly opened his arms, yes, it was the wind. When they were a year old, when they left, it was also the wind that sent them away.

Now that they are back, it is still this wind that sends them back.

The old man knelt directly on the ground and shouted at the temple, "Welcome the land god to his place." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at the old man strangely, and the old ladies around who liked to come to the incense when they had nothing to do looked left and right a few times, hesitated and knelt on the ground, and followed the old man to bow down. They have suspicions in their hearts, but they would rather believe what they have than what they don't.

Sima Kong's eyes retracted, his brows furrowed, and he had an urge to get angry.

He didn't expect that the old man would come to this trick and obstruct himself demagoguery. If there really is a god in this world, then why hasn't he seen or heard of it?

"Old man, what the hell are you doing? You think you can keep the Land Temple with a few tricks, you are hindering the development of the county, do you understand?"

After the old man kowtowed, the old man smiled coldly, and the corners of his mouth, which had been covered by the white beard for a long time, showed an unprecedented smile, "Development? Don't use the hat of development everywhere, you only care about your own interests." The land temple was built in the Qianlong period, which is a historical relic and the residence of the land god. The land god returns, and he will punish you. ”

Within a radius of several miles, when the statue of the land god underwent a drastic change, the breeze continued to blow the earth.

Liu Lili stood in the crowd, and suddenly pointed to the loess behind the land temple, "Look." ”

The loess dug by the excavator was originally an endless earth yellow, like a carpet, and the green shoots slowly emerged upward, and the grass grew rapidly as if time had accelerated their growth.

Again, this is the case within a few kilometers of the surroundings.

A few kilometers away, where a series of car accidents took place, the smell of gasoline, blood, and burning filled the area. When a fresh breeze passes, wherever there is soil, the grass is green and vibrant. The smell of gasoline and burning is fleeting.

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

Even the police, fire police, and nurses who rushed to support stopped what they were doing in a daze. They glanced around and sighed.
