Chapter 23: The Village Reference Room
Everything was done at Ah Wei's house, I was going to go to the village committee, Ah Wei had to follow, I thought to myself that I was also a companion, so I agreed.
Came to the village committee again, this time it was very smooth, there was no such cold feeling, today is a working day, there are a few people walking back and forth in the hall, all of them are villagers of A Village, nothing to talk about livelihood in the village committee, chatting about family life, to be honest, the village committee in the village feels like a community activity station in me.
I came to the office of Village Chief Li on the second floor, knocked on the door, Village Chief Li answered inside, I pushed the door open, and walked in with Ah Wei.
Village Chief Li was looking at some document, his brows were tightly locked, his face was full of sadness, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was me and Ah Wei, and his expression was instantly displeased. It seems that he still resents me for breaking the Buddha statue.
"Why are you here again!" There was impatience in his tone.
"Uncle Li, what I said, I can't come to see you if it's okay." Ah Wei said with a haha.
"Come less, the last time you came to me, you cut off my financial route, how to drop, do you want to renovate my office this time."
Uncle Li spoke in a weird way, and his eyes never left me.
I asked Village Chief Li what it meant to cut off his financial route.
He said that it was not because I broke the Buddha statue, which is strange to say, and I don't know how a Taoist priest knew. The next day, the promised 1,000 yuan will not be in the account.
Speaking of this, Village Chief Li glared at me again.
I said Village Chief Li, you are content, do you know that the Gu worm in the Buddha statue you offered is an obscure thing, fortunately, it hasn't been offered for too long, if you continue to offer, your life may be worrying.
When Village Chief Li heard this, he remembered the Gu worm I picked up at that time, and asked me: "That insect is really an evil thing, I heard Ah Wei's parents say that Xiaoyun also got a strange disease because of a bug, can't it be that thing!" ”
I didn't speak, I just nodded, anyway, the perception Gu perceived the Fragment Gu, and it was not wrong to say that it was the same kind.
Village Chief Li was so frightened that he lay backwards, and suddenly remembered that the Buddhist shrine was still in the bookcase behind him, and jumped up again, away from the bookcase.
"Do I still have that thing in my bookcase?" Village Chief Li pointed to the bookcase and asked me.
Looking at Village Chief Li's reaction, I smiled, but I didn't show it on the surface, but my expression became serious, and I said wait for me to see.
Walked to the bookcase, opened the bookcase, exposed the Buddhist shrine, carefully inspected it, and recited a few words in front of the Buddhist shrine, and then turned back to Village Chief Li and said that there was nothing "unclean" here.
Village Chief Li walked out from behind Ah Wei: "Is it really not there this time?" What were you talking about? ”
"Don't leak it!" I said mysteriously, in fact, the two sentences just now are just a few words of Cantonese that have changed the tone, in fact, there is no obscure thing here.
When I took away the Perception Gu at the beginning, the yin qi that was offered to the Perception Gu had already dispersed, and later I burned all the pieces of Gu that Zhang Yang raised, and no tentacles grew on the Perception Gu, lying motionless in the stone jar I was looking for, as if I had fallen into a deep sleep.
I plan to go back to Emperor City and study this Perception Gu carefully to see if it can be used by me.
As soon as Village Chief Li heard me say this, his expression instantly became brighter, and even with admiration.
"Xiaogang, since I was a child, I have seen you different from others, but I didn't expect that you really have some skills."
I thought to myself, I didn't know who it was, and I scolded our whole family for being crazy and a disaster.
"Since I've helped you get rid of the dirt, don't you think about the Buddha statue anymore, and besides, haven't you already made a lot of money? One cannot be too greedy. ”
After speaking, I sat on the sofa, and Village Chief Li smiled and said yes, yes, I didn't want to think about it.
"Uncle Li, I really have something I want to know from you this time!" I took a sip of the tea that Village Chief Li had brought and began to get to the point.
"I heard that our village and the surrounding villages used to be the same village? Only later did they separate? ”
"Hey, how do you know that?"
I said Ah Wei's father told me.
Village Chief Li said that there was such a thing, and this was also what he only knew after reading the notes of the village before he became the village chief, and this matter has been going on for some years, at least seventy or eighty years ago.
"At that time, it was still the anti-Japanese era, and there was no Ah Village, Qi Village or anything, and the five villages in this vicinity were collectively called Xiadi Village. It is one of the largest villages. But then a bizarre thing happened, and then several large families in the village split up, and then these villages were created. Village Chief Li said with an unnatural expression.
How bizarre can a bizarre thing be?
I asked Village Chief Li, and he said that he didn't know what it was, and that he only mentioned it in his notes. I just wanted to ask where to find the relevant records, and Ah Wei anxiously asked for me.
Village Chief Li said that the current version of the notes is placed in his desk, but the original version is placed in the warehouse, because the original notes are the old paper in the past, which is very fragile, so they are all stored.
Then it will be copied and stored by the next one.
After asking, Ah Wei and I went to the archives under the guidance of Village Chief Li. Village Chief Li looked for the key at the door for a long time, and he didn't come often, and almost tried the keys on the keychain to find the right key.
As soon as the door opened, the dimly lit room was lined with rows of bookshelves, which were covered with dust, because there was no air circulation for a long time, and suddenly as soon as the door was opened, a puff of smoke and dust came from the surface. Choked all of us with a little cough, and fanned our noses with our hands to disperse the dust.
Village Chief Li stretched out his hand and tugged at the lamp rope in the house. It's still a yellow light bulb, the whole house is just such a light, and the range that can be illuminated is just that, and the rest of the place is still dark, Village Chief Li pointed to it and said that the information is in it, if you want to find it, go in and find it yourself.
I thought to myself, it seems that this Village Chief Li usually does not spend a lot of money from the public, and the relevant departments will allocate funds for the construction of the village every year, but Village Chief Li obviously spends it on face.
The village committee is glamorous, especially his office, but these houses that are not usually used much seem to be much more dilapidated, completely untidy and renovated.
I ignored Village Chief Li, walked into the storage room, and asked where the earliest information was?
Village Chief Li said that the innermost on both sides and the middle ones are from recent years.
Ah Weibing and I split into two ways, one to the left and the other to the right, and began to look for information.
I don't know what the situation is on Ah Wei's side, there are still some bamboo slips in the innermost part of my side, the bamboo slips are placed in rolls at the bottom of the four-layer bookshelf, and with the flash of the mobile phone, you can see that the bamboo slips are still tied with hemp rope.
