Chapter 157: Fishing

Captain He drove the two of them and swayed towards a small road on the edge of the city that had been buried by wild grass.

In the distance, a ruined temple appeared at the foot of a green hill, getting closer and closer among the foliage that kept swaying with the car window.

"The roof tiles have been blown off a lot by the wind, and the beams and columns have not been painted and maintained, so there is really no appearance of monks living and managing them." Ren Yi leaned against the car window and secretly looked at the temple that was getting closer.

"But there are no fallen leaves or weeds on the path leading to the mountain gate, and sure enough, someone is cleaning it regularly."

It should be the murderer.

Ren Yi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, held his breath and concentrated, the "Nanhua Sutra" in his hand flipped around, and a black folding fan appeared in front of Ren Yi.

With a snap of the fan, Ren Yi's figure quickly faded until it blended in with the surrounding environment.

"Just do what you planned." Ren Yi turned around and whispered to the fax behind him, "You come to be the bait, I'm secretly observing." ”

The fax in the back seat nodded, and his foreigner appearance suddenly distorted in Ren Yi's eyes, and immediately turned into Ren You's appearance.

Ren Yi was taken aback, "...... Why are you my dad again? The victims are all women, my dad, a big man with five big and three thick, he has to dare if he wants to! ”

Fax said aggrievedly, "No, the ability of the poor monk is actually an illusion, who you think I am, I am who I am." ”

"In your eyes, I am your father; But the murderer has been waiting for the next person to do it, so I am a thin and poor woman in his eyes. ”

That's what I said, but the more I listen to it, the more awkward it becomes......

"Okay, okay. Let's hurry. Ren Yi stopped looking at him and quickly got out of the car.

Along the way, he was accompanied by a person who looked exactly like his father, and Ren Yi felt uncomfortable.

The two walked all the way through the undulating mountain road, and the dilapidated temple gate gradually enlarged in front of their eyes.

Ren Yi watched the back of "Ren You" slowly walk up the steps and stopped at the narrow entrance of the main hall.

Although the main hall is small, there are many candles lit, and the reflection is bright, and a simple wooden Buddha statue looks down on the three empty futons in front of it.

Fax knelt down in front of the incense burner, folded his hands and began to brew his acting skills, and after a while he choked up and sobbed.

"Oh my God, what kind of sin have I done." Ren Yi quickly hid behind a pillar next to the incense burner, poked his head out to take a look, and was immediately blinded by this scene.

"A middle-aged man of one hundred and eighty pounds is sighing, this person is still my father......"

Ren Yi almost wanted to poke himself blind.

"Ahem, early in the morning, why are you crying so sadly? Did something happen to your family? ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of shuffling footsteps on the steps outside the hall.

A slender black shadow approached the entrance of the main hall against the light, blocking the light outside the door.

The man stood motionless outside the threshold, his shadow eerily magnified on the checkered bricks.

Here it comes!

Ren Yi was startled and immediately turned his head.

"Huh?" The fax who was kneeling on the ground pretended to wipe away his tears, turned his head to the shadow in the distance and said, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Ahem...... I'm here to burn incense, too. ”

He coughed twice and said in a muddy, hoarse voice.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and the candles in the temple soon illuminated his whole body.

Ren Yi saw clearly, it was a hunchbacked old man, about seventy years old, with gray hair, wrinkled skin like citrus, and age spots. Dressed in shabby gray clothes, the cloth bag containing incense candles in his hand was also stained with oil.

"Recently, in order to pretend to be a character, I have watched a lot of "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription". Look at his face is black and thin...... I'm in a bad health. Ren Yi poked his head out from behind the pillar and stared at the man carefully.

The old man came to the fax side with his brows, skillfully fiddling with the things he had brought on the incense table, and soon bursts of incense mist rose from the incense burner.

The fragrance wafted over, and Ren Yi thought of the velvet coat, "That's the smell!" ”

The old man knelt on another futon next to the fax, closed his eyes and folded his hands, and began to bow reverently.

"Alas, my husband is doing business outside and has been in a recession for the past two years."

After a long silence in the hall, Fax said with a tired expression.

"In order to maintain the turnover, he actually borrowed usury from people in the wilderness without me."

He quickly entered the play, crying and wiping his tears as he spoke.

Ren Yi was amazed on the side, his acting skills came as soon as he said it, and it was really condescending to be a monk.

In the eyes of the old man, Fax looked like a young woman wearing a white trench coat and a low ponytail at the moment, but in Ren Yi's eyes, he was still Ren You's appearance.

The acting is good, but this picture is a bit spicy......

"Three days ago, the people in the wilderness smashed our house to pieces and robbed us of everything of value, and I only then learned about his debts outside......

Fax is crying more and more proficiently.

Hearing him say such schizophrenia in his father's face, Ren Yi was about to cut out three bedrooms and one living room next to him.

"If I don't pay it back, my two children will be sold on the black market."

"But how can our family have money! I'm desperate......"

"I can only come here to ask the Buddha for his blessing and help me tide over the difficulties."

"If there is really no way, our family will have to die."

"I've even bought the rat pill. But I can't bear the thought of sneaking this stuff into my child's food! ”

Fax threw himself on the ground and cried.

"What did my eyes and ears do wrong, and I should suffer this sin......" Ren Yi cried out silently in pain from behind the pillar.

"Alas, you are also a poor man." The old man next to him shook his head and sighed after bowing.

"Why did you come to the shrine? Is there something going on at home? Fax wiped away her tears and finally got to the point.

"I've been burning incense and worshipping Buddha here for decades. I've developed this habit since I was a child, and I can't change it, and I don't want to change it. The old man smiled.

"When I was a child, I had an illness and a high fever that didn't go away for three days. At that time, the family was poor and had no money for treatment. My family thinks that I can't live, so it's better to leave the money for treatment for the living to eat and live. ”

"In order to prevent contagion, I was carried to the back of this temple to fend for myself."

"It was the monks in the temple who saved me and gave me my life."

"Since then, I have been visiting the temple a lot. Go to school, work, start a family...... Whenever there is a hurdle that I can't get over, I come here and feel that there is nothing that I can't really get over. ”

The old man looked up at the Buddha statue in the candlelight and fell into recollection.

Later, the southwest became more and more chaotic, and no one in the temple offered incense, and after the old monk passed away, there were no more young monks who came here to become monks. The temple was left unattended and gradually abandoned. ”

"I can't bear to look at it, so I often come over to help clean up."

Sure enough, he cleaned it.

Ren Yi listened with bated breath behind the pillar.

In this way, the probability that he is the real murderer has increased by a few percent. Only those who frequent the temple can accurately grasp the movements of those sad women.

"Goddess, does he have any traces of radiation contamination?" Ren Yi asked silently.

"He's not contaminated." The goddess Themis said calmly.

Not contaminated? Ren Yi was stunned, his sanity was normal? So why did he do it?

Is it really a perverted murderer?

"Uncle, you should think about the good. It's good that you're still physically strong at such an age. Fax, "My father is about the same age as you, but his legs are so inflexible that he can't even get out of the door......

The old man thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly turned gray.

"What's the matter if you can't go out? As long as I can live well, I am very envious of not going out for the rest of my life. ”

"I was diagnosed with cancer last fall, terminal."

Oh?

Ren Yi shook violently behind the pillar, and his death was approaching, which should be the reason for him to kill!

The old man shook his head, and his tone became calm again.

"At that time, I also felt that there was no way to live from now on, but you can see that half a year has passed, and I have persevered. I also come to sweep the yard every day. ”

"As long as you can stand it, there is no hurdle that you can't get over."

"I can survive this age, you are still so young, life is full of possibilities."

"Don't think about what you can't die for. Think about how you want to get the money together. ”

"I'm sure it's him," Ren Yi faxed through his mind, "You can withdraw." ”

"Thank you." Fax wiped away tears and stood up, "What if...... If I can make it through, I'll come back and thank you in person. ”

The old man did not speak, but continued to kneel on the mat and bow.

At this moment, Ren Yi, who was hiding behind the pillar, suddenly made a move, and a blue light flashed between his two fingers, and something small crossed an arc in the main hall and fell straight into the old man's pocket.

It was the containment object "green worm" that I got from the two copper dealers!
