Shuqing looked at Ma Wenhua from afar, he stood in the grass, and reached out to pull out the weeds around the rusty brown temple gate-like building. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hardly anyone comes here. He looked up at the forest above as he plucked, occasionally looking up at Shuqing, and every time he plucked twice, he had to straighten up to catch his breath and bend down again. Shuqing is an atheist, she never goes to the temple and does not worship Buddha. But this is not to say that she has no awe at all, on the contrary, it is a kind of awe similar to fear that she cannot predict that makes her unable to move her steps to join Ma Wenhua's ranks. "I don't think anyone else will come here except me. Ma Wenhua sighed, he turned his head to look that way again, and then shook his head, "But they have been protecting us all along. ”

"It's—"

Ma Wenhua stared at Shuqing, thoughtful, he paused, and then smiled, "It seems that you don't remember." What was your favorite bodhisattva to worship when you were a child!" He threw away the weeds in his hands, folded his hands, and read something with his mouth one by one, and after a moment, he opened his eyes, "O soul of the Dragon Gate, ancestor!"

Shuqing watched Ma Wenhua's pious movements, and at that moment, his smile was full of magic and opened her dusty memories for many years-

"Come, Qing'er, follow grandma. Yes, yes, kneel down and fold your hands! Okay, that's it~ Qing'er is really good. ”

"Grandma, who are they?"

"It's our ancestor, Qing'er. The entire town of Longmen exists because of them. ”

"Are they immortals now?"

"Hmm~ yes, they are immortals! We~ are their descendants. ”

"Are we the descendants of the gods?

"Haha~ My good Qing'er, we will not become immortals, we will inherit their spirit. ”

"What is spirit?"

"The spirit is—yes—" The gray-haired old woman glanced down at the little girl, and her affection was evident, "Yesterday you helped grandma carry the basket and broke your leg, and you still carry the basket for grandma today, this is the spirit." ”

"Oh~ I see, I like to carry baskets for grandma!"

"My good Qing'er, good Qing'er," the grandmother put her arm around the little girl's shoulders and took her into her arms, and at that moment the sound of rustling and breaking branches reached their ears. Grandma looked around nervously, her hand tightened with the little girl, she wrapped her little hand in the palm of her hand, and whispered, "Qing'er, let's go, let's go quickly." Hurry!"

They passed through a field of alfalfa, and then through a bush, when suddenly a large branch fell from the sky, and knocked over the basket in Grandma's hand—and suddenly a strong wind blew in the sky—and the little girl's straw hat was blown away by the wind, and Grandma turned to help her pick it up, and when they turned around, there stood four big men in front of them—

Shuqing closed her eyes, she didn't want to think about it anymore, she never had this memory, she didn't know why these images suddenly flooded into her mind. She frowned sadly.

"How could our ancestors have fallen to such a state!" she took a step forward and looked at the building with disdain, there were two stone statues in the building, a man and a woman, both of whom were very Peugeot, but the stone statues had been clearly devoured by the years and looked incomplete, even if they were Peugeot, they were only in the past. Look around again, overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and no one comes to worship. "They're the brother and sister?"

Ma Wenhua looked up at her, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes with his palms, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "You didn't say that before!"

"Is that the answer you're talking about?" Shuqing found a slightly smoother spot to stand still, and a black insect crawled over her instep.

"Actually, I don't know, I think maybe you'll remember something when you see them!"

Ma Wenhua shook his head, "They weren't here, they were in the Dragon Clan Palace, you know they were on the top of that mountain, to the west was the Immortal Valley, and to the east was the Dragon King Temple," he stood in place and looked around, walking towards the pile of weeds he had thrown over, where there was a black stone. He picked up the weeds with his hands, then sat down slowly. "The incense there has always been very strong, and the fame of Longmen Mountain is nothing more than relying on this miracle of the gods, many people come to worship, and the temple is getting bigger and bigger. Have you heard of that fire in 1920?"

Shuqing shook her head, "I heard that one person was burned to death that year. ”

Ma Wenhua nodded, "My father told me that after burning that person that year, this immortal would no longer work, and all that would follow was a disaster. The town has always been peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, and the life of the villagers is very steady, and since 1920, there has been a pervert in the town, and you should have heard these stories. Ma Wenhua said and glanced at Shuqing.

"I don't remember. Shuqing waved her hand, she was different from other children, she really didn't like these myths. But she knew a little about the man who was burned. "That person is Leon?"

Ma Wenhua didn't answer Shuqing's question immediately, he lowered his head and was silent for a while. "We all wish it wasn't him. He wiped his sweat again, and a gust of wind blew, and the bushes and woods rattled and rattled, and if you listened closely, it would feel like a man crying in a low voice. Ma Wenhua involuntarily looked up at the forest. "It's a pity, it's him, that's right!"

"Have you forgotten? How did your father become an accomplice back then, how did he become an accomplice, he killed his wife, and almost took the life of the girl, isn't it enough? You are not allowed to go, you have not heard, you are not allowed to go!"

"Why are you so ignorant, this is a matter of human life, how can I not care. Get out of the way!"

"I'm not allowed to go anyway!"

"Mom—"

"Qing girl, it's okay! Come here, come to Mom, it's okay!"

Mom came to hug her, and as soon as Dad turned around and left the house, she saw Dad running briskly on the ridge, and Mom was sitting on the ground with her arms and crying.

"I remember—" Shuqing suddenly looked at Ma Wenhua, pausing the image in her mind, and she walked towards him. "Anna Zhou was deliberately left by An Xiaowen. You taught Zhou Anna, right? She is not Zhou Zhiwen's daughter at all, she was deliberately left behind by An Xiaowen. ”

Ma Wenhua was a little confused by Shuqing for a while, and he looked at Shuqing blankly.

"Anna Zhou, do you mean Zhou Zhiwen's crazy daughter Anna Zhou?"

"Yes, that's her, and you've taught her, haven't you?"

"Let me think about it," Ma Wenhua frowned and raised his hand to his lips. "I can't remember. ”

"Think about it again, is she in the same class as Hu Sheng, she was brought by Zhou Zhiwen, Zhou Zhiwen entrusted you to take care of her, he gave you money, do you remember? I gave it to me!"

"Why did you go through him-"

"No, I promised An Xiaowen to take care of that poor child, I told Zhou Zhiwen that you are a reliable person, you can rest assured that you will give you the child, and I will be responsible for the payment. (To be continued.) )
