Chapter 25: How Can It Be Missing?
In the following days, it seems that autumn has put away a good temperament, and who is sulking, the weather is gloomy, dark clouds are crowded in the air, making people feel depressed, and a few drops of rain come out from time to time like the tears of a sad child behind the clouds accidentally falling into the world.
Yuan Chengle unconsciously raised his hand to touch the rain that had just dripped on his face, looking at the dim sky, if it was this time a few days ago, the sun would definitely be hanging high in the air and stretching his waist, where is it like these two days, the sky seems to be unable to light up.
"Are you going out so early today?"
Suddenly hearing Lin Man's question, Yuan Chengle was stunned at first, and then quickly adjusted his state, turned around and looked at Lin Man, Lin Man was lowering his head and sifting the remaining wheat from yesterday with a bamboo dustpan, as if telling Yuan Chengle that she was just asking casually. If it weren't for the terrible darkness of this day, Yuan Chengle might have believed that she was asking casually.
"Ang, there are some things that need to be dealt with sooner." Yuan Chengle did not show a trace of twisting, and replied in a normal tone.
"Go early and come back early, the weather is not good, pay attention to safety when driving on the road." Lin Man didn't look up, he held the bamboo dustpan high and leaned his head closer, as if to see if the wheat was sifting out bad dregs.
"I will. Mom, then I'm out of the house. Yuan Chengle didn't stop any longer, and walked straight out of the door.
Looking at the car covered with mud in the lower half in front of him, Yuan Chengle thought in his heart that if he waited for a good day, he must wash the car in advance and go to the door of Fang Mumu's house beautifully.
Yuan Chengle, who was in the car, pulled the seat belt and fastened it, while looking at the car, thinking that in order to be able to drive back, he also spent nearly half a year, although it only took him half a month to get the driver's license, but he was still watched to practice for more than half a year, so he let him drive on the road by himself.
The days before learning to drive are even more indescribable, Yuan Chengle thought that his persistence was in front of him, and the torment of the past was a momentary memory at this moment, no matter if he didn't want to, as long as there was a result, everything was worth it.
Thinking of this, the corners of Yuan Chengle's mouth were slightly raised, he put down the brakes, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and followed the route in his memory in the wind and dust.
In less than half an hour, Yuan Chengle arrived near the destination, parked the car on the side of the road, and walked for a while to reach the destination.
The temple in front of me was completely unaffected by the weather, and it seemed that there were more people coming to offer incense than yesterday. Yuan Chengle didn't stay long, and followed the flow of people to the temple.
"The donor is here again."
As soon as Yuan Chengle stepped into the door of the City God Temple in Huaijia Village, a nun dressed in plain clothes appeared beside him, her eyebrows were clear, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there were some traces of time on her face. I don't know if it's because the weather is dark or the smoke from the incense burning in this temple makes Yuan Chengle always feel that the nun in front of him can't see it really.
"Yes." Yuan Chengle responded and bowed slightly to the plain-clothed nun, "Some knots in my heart can't be untied, so I come to complain to Shenyin, don't ask for anything else, just hope to have a hope in my heart." ”
The plain-clothed nun listened to Yuan Chengle's words, and couldn't help laughing, "Hehe~ The donor is also a transparent person, unlike some people who only blindly ask for Shenyin, thank Shenyin when it goes well, and even spit it out the foaming stars to the place of worship of Shenyin when it doesn't go well." ”
"It's not transparent, but life experience tells me that faith is in my heart, and asking for it is just asking for a hope, a motivation to continue, and a possible expectation for the future." Yuan Chengle shook his head and said, most of the pictures that flashed in his mind were pure white.
"It seems that the donor is a destined person, and if you don't know the donor's knot, you can talk to me." The plain-clothed nun clasped her hands, and the whisk on her right hand rested on her left arm.
Yuan Chengle only then found out that just now this plain-clothed nun was standing with her hands behind her back, and at this moment, as soon as the dust came out, she looked a little bit like a master in the world, after listening to the words of the plain-clothed nun, Yuan Chengle, who was a little hesitant, felt that it was okay at the moment.
"I am happy with a woman, I missed a long time for some reasons, and now I don't want to miss it anymore, I want to spend the rest of my life with her, and I will be with her."
"Since ancient times, there has been affection and empty hatred, and this hatred has no end." The plain-clothed nun said, her eyes drifting into the distance.
"Isn't it eternal and endless, and this hatred is endless?" Yuan Chengle didn't think about the nun's words, but felt that it was wrong when he heard this, and immediately asked.
"No matter how long it is or since ancient times, isn't it all fate? When fate comes, everything goes well, and when fate goes, everything is hateful. The plain-clothed nun turned her eyes and said indifferently.
"I was presumptuous." Yuan Chengle listened to the words of the nun in plain clothes, and then he realized that the meaning of the nun in plain clothes was not whether the poem was right or not, but what he said, but he didn't hear it very white, and always felt that this nun was persuading himself, "Forgive me for being stupid, and ask the master to be more plain." ”
"Hehe~" The plain-clothed nun smiled again, "Your obsession is the cause of your planting, and now that it has not borne fruit, you will always be unwilling." ”
"It's strange to the master." Although Yuan Chengle said slowly with a smile, his tone was a little colder, if he didn't understand the previous words, he was still white in the back, and the things he asked for had not yet settled, and it was really uncomfortable to be poured cold water like this. "The answer has been answered, and I should finish my trip."
Yuan Chengle didn't stop any longer, bowed slightly to the plain-clothed nun again, and went straight to the temple without waiting for the plain-clothed nun to say anything.
Burning incense and bowing, silently reciting in his heart, all this can only be completed in a moment, but Yuan Chengle still knelt for a moment as he did yesterday, said what he thought in his heart over and over again, and finally opened his eyes, slowly got up from the mat, and looked up at the clay statue of the god standing in the temple, with a pleasant face, as if to say: You go and work hard, everything has me.
Yuan Chengle, who had just walked out of the main hall, lowered his head, but heard a familiar voice, suddenly raised his head, and saw the plain-clothed nun again.
"Donor, since you are destined, you might as well listen to me." The plain-clothed nun stood at the door with the dust in her arms, and there were many people coming in and out, but she stood next to Yuan Chengle, looking at Yuan Chengle with a smile, ignoring the others.
"Thank you master, I have my own decision, so I won't work for the master." Yuan Chengle's respectful tone did not contain any emotion.
"I don't advise you to let go, only advise you to hurry up, otherwise you will miss it again." The plain-clothed nun was not annoyed by Yuan Chengle's attitude, accepted the smile on her face, left this sentence, and turned to leave.
"Master?" Yuan Chengle wanted to ask more details, but unexpectedly, the plain-clothed nun who was originally glued to him floated away at the moment and ignored him.
Walking all the way to the front of the car, after getting in the car, Yuan Chengle always felt unsteady and panicked in his heart, and he was indeed a little afraid after listening to the words of the plain-clothed nun, afraid that he would miss it again. He has to hurry, he has to hurry up and then propose, some things can't be delayed like this. Yuan Chengle didn't start far with one foot of the accelerator, and stopped with another foot of the brake, almost accidentally hitting someone, which was really in a hurry.
Yuan Chengle, who drove home quickly, just arrived at the door of the house, and looked at the time that it was about to be noon, he thought in his heart, he didn't even untie the seat belt, and went straight to the town with another foot on the accelerator.
Yuan Chengle's goal is very shady, the most obsessive place for cigarettes is the place he is looking for, he parked the car, inquired all the way, and finally found the most famous one among a bunch of fortune tellers.
"This is a hundred yuan, I want to know which of the most recent days is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is advisable to mention relatives." Yuan Chengle stood in front of the fortune teller's table, looking down at the fortune teller.
"Donor, wait, I'll count it out." The fortune teller saw Yuan Chengle put two brand-new fifty yuan on the table, his eyes lit up, and he immediately squinted his eyes and began to pinch his fingers, and after pinching his fingers, he began to shake the hanging stick, and after counting for a while, he stopped and looked straight ahead.
"How?" Yuan Chengle bent down to block the fortune teller's gaze, "Which day?" ”
"Hmm~~~" The fortune teller stretched out his voice, as if he was teasing.
"If you can't figure it out, then I'll give it to someone else." Yuan Chengle was anxious at the moment, where did he still have the heart to see this fortune teller, and he was about to leave immediately with the money.
The fortune teller hurriedly pressed Yuan Chengle's hand to take the money, "Donor, wait, wait for me to speak slowly." ”
"Speak quickly!" Yuan Chengle looked at the fortune teller with a look of 'if you want to say it quickly, I'll find someone else'.
Seeing that Yuan Chengle was an anxious master, where would he dare to show off again, Ma Yu put down the objects in his hand and said quickly, "It was originally good luck today, but it doesn't matter if it's over." However, 11:13 a.m. on a cloudy day is also a good time. ”
"Today?" Yuan Chengle blamed himself for not coming early to count the time, thinking that the auspicious day of the zodiac was rare, so he had to choose slowly.
"Donor, what do you think of this money?" Although the fortune teller was still sitting on the chair, both eyes were wandering around the money in Yuan Chengle's hand.
"Here you go." Yuan Chengle put down the money, turned around and left, and went straight to the major wedding stores to buy things again, and chose the best everything. After shopping, he washed the car again, and by the way, he also bought himself a suit.
By the time Yuan Chengle returned to Crockpot Village, although it was evening, it was already completely dark. He used a casual reason to prevaricate the questioning of Yuan Youliang and Lin Man, and after a brief meal, he went straight back to the house, tossing and turning until midnight, and finally fell asleep, and woke up again before it was completely dawn, and then there was no sleep.
So, Yuan Chengle turned over and cleaned himself up lightly, wearing a gray suit, a white shirt, black pointy scalp shoes... When everything was cleaned up, he sat in his room and waited. During this period, Lin Man talked to him, and he only coped with a few words.
Yuan Chengle felt that the time on his watch must have been dragged by a snail, otherwise how could it pass so slowly. After Yuan Chengle didn't know how many hundreds, the hands of the watch finally pointed at eleven o'clock, Yuan Chengle took a deep breath and went straight out.
The things bought yesterday were all in the car, Yuan Chengle sat in the car and waited until 11:10, stepped on the accelerator lightly, slowly drove the car to Fang Mumu's house, opened the trunk, glanced at the placed items, and then opened the back seat and took out the flowers prepared yesterday, and when he stood at the door of Fang Mumu's house, the pointer still had five seconds to 11:13.
"Knock knock~" At 11:13, Yuan Chengle knocked on the door of Fang Mumu's house on time, everything he thought did not appear, because no one responded to him. He knocked on the door again, still no answer.
Just as Yuan Chengle didn't know what was going on and turned to look away, he saw that not far away, Yu Cai was stumbling towards him.
"Lele, have you seen my Mumu? Do you see her? When Yu Cai saw Yuan Chengle, he grabbed him, his eyes were red, and he asked excitedly, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Auntie, what's wrong with Mu Mu? Don't get excited, speak slowly, speak clearly! Yuan Chengle also panicked, feeling his head hot, as if something rushed in.
"Don't you know where my Mumu went?" Yu Cai sat on the ground, her eyes were blank, and tears kept pouring out, "She said that she went to the toilet, she went out to the toilet every night these days, I thought she really just went to the toilet, who knows, she is gone!" As soon as I woke up, she was gone, I searched all the villages, and I couldn't find her, where could she go...".
"Gone? How could it be gone? Yuan Chengle squatted beside Yu Cai, grabbed Yu Cai and asked, this is what she noticed Yu Cai was holding in his hand, he quickly grabbed the paper, opened it with trembling hands, and after seeing the words on it, he only felt that the world was spinning, and there was blood dripping on the paper, and he lost consciousness before he could finish reading it.
