Chapter 33 Qian Village
“…… Why should I go to ...... Meow? ”
The desert cat turned its head in confusion.
"If you had just been on ......"
"You blame me? Look at the results. ”
The desert cat doesn't speak for a long time, and its voice is still a little muffled.
Ji Liang turned his head and glanced at it, deflated,
Playing a game, he is not as good as Sister Cat rubbing the screen of her mobile phone with a cat's paw.
But it's okay, Sister Cat is not an ordinary cat after all. He can't play Sister Cat, which is reasonable.
Thinking so, as soon as Ji Liang's mobile phone was put down, he lay down on the seat.
"Don't play, Sister Cat."
The desert cat glanced at Ji Liang, who was paralyzed there, and shook his head,
Then turn around and happily plunge into a new round of in-game battles.
"Sister Cat...... You say......"
Ji Liang, who was paralyzed there, looked at Sister Cat, who was rubbing his mobile phone and playing the game concentratingly, and hesitated.
Sister Cat is getting more and more outrageous.
I used to be very powerful, but now I can speak.
After a while, will it all change......
In the case of Sister Cat, shouldn't you consider turning it in?
"Give me another wrap of potato chips, meow ......"
When Ji Liang was thinking about these things, Sister Mao, who was playing with her mobile phone, didn't raise her head, and said again.
"Oh, okay, Sister Cat."
Ji Liang stood up decisively and went to get potato chips for Sister Mao.
Those previous thoughts were dispelled.
Anyway, it's not something he can decide, looking at his little arms and legs here, can he twist the cat's claws and legs of the cat sister?
"Sister Cat, give it, it's already opened, do you want to open a bottle of Coke again?"
"Hmmm......"
The desert cat thought for a moment, then nodded earnestly.
"Let's open a can, meow."
"Okay, Sister Cat."
Sister Cat is very powerful, but she doesn't seem to be very smart now.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
At that moment, the desert cat rang with the mobile phone in his hand.
The desert cat put the phone on the table next to it, pressed its two paws, and was ready to finish the game first.
"Sister Cat, let me answer the phone first."
"Meow ......"
The desert cat sighed, paws the phone to the side,
"Hurry up, I'm going to hang up."
"Meow."
"I know, Sister Cat."
Ji Liang handed the can of Coke to Sister Mao,
The desert cat took the paw and gently hooked it, opened the can, and lay down on the seat, paw holding and gulping.
Ji Liang picked up his mobile phone,
Looked at the caller ID, unfamiliar number?
Advertising harassing calls, otherwise who calls him?
But I picked it up anyway.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Ji Liang? On our side...... Previously, Mr. Ji reported to the police about the matter in Yuan'an Mountain Village, and we would like to ask Mr. Ji about the situation again, is it convenient for you to do this time? ”
Scam calls?
It is well known that police inquiries are generally door-to-door, not telephone.
"Don't you need me to come over?"
“…… If Mr. Ji Liang is willing to make a trip and not delay your other things, it can be fine. ”
"Oh...... That phone call said okay, may I ask what your alarm number is? ”
“…… My siren number is ......"
After listening to the answer, Ji Liang was relieved.
Although he doesn't know the siren either, the procedure still needs to be followed.
"Then you ask."
Ji Liang was very polite.
"Well, the police call said that Mr. Ji Liang had entered Yuan'an Mountain Village at that time? Do you see anything? ”
"No, nothing. It's pitch black. There was no light in the whole village, so I was so scared that I ran away. ”
"At that time, Mr. Ji Liang walked somewhere in the village before returning, did he see anyone else in the village? Can you describe it to me? ”
"When I walked to the homestay, I didn't see anyone, and the more I walked inside, the more scary it became. The whole village was silent, and when I got there, there was a figure who fell from behind the door, and I didn't know if it was alive or dead...... It scared me so much that I slipped away......"
"So apart from these, is there anything else to see and hear?"
"Like, when I ran, I heard a roar."
As Ji Liang spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Sister Cat who was drinking Coke over there.
If it weren't for Sister Mao's method to make him run fast, he might not be able to run.
"Roar? A beast-like roar? ”
"Well, right...... That's right. What's that, big brother, what's going on in Yuan'an Mountain Village. What's going on there now? Can I travel again? ”
"What happened, it's still under investigation...... If you are traveling, it may take some time for the time being, and you may be able to travel to another place......"
It was probably because the person on the other end of the phone was a little speechless about Ji Liang's courage, and he was silent for a while before he made such an answer.
"That's right. Mr. Ji Liang, I read the information that shows that you opened a convenience store at the intersection of Chengnan Road and Nan'an Road? ”
Ji Liang listened, paused, and raised his eyebrows.
Do you know a lot about this?
Why do you know all this information about him?
"Yes. What's the matter? ”
"Nope. Finally, I would like to ask, has Mr. Ji Liang encountered any other special things recently? ”
"Nope."
This time, I didn't look back at Sister Mao,
Ji Liang replied decisively.
"Well, okay, then I'll get here. Thank you, Mr. Ji Liang, for your cooperation with our work. If there is anything else, Mr. Ji Liang can also call this number to contact me. ”
"Okay, thanks."
Ji Liang ended the call, turned his head, and looked at Sister Mao again.
Look at it carefully.
The desert cat directly ignored his eyes, easily grabbed the filled Coke with one paw, and took the mobile phone in Ji Liang's hand after making a call with one paw.
This makes Ji Liang very curious every time, how did Sister Cat grab the phone with such a short toe here,
With outstretched claws? Or is it Sister Mao's other skills?
However, Ji Liang was more curious about another thing at this time.
“…… Sister Cat, how did you cultivate? Can you teach me too? I also want to practice, punch ghosts, and kick monsters. ”
Ji Liang's eyes lit up a little.
The desert cat raised its head and looked at Ji Liang, with some doubts in his eyes,
Then I turned my head and thought about it very seriously,
"Sleep?"
"Meow?"
The desert cat itself doesn't know how it got stronger.
It's like falling asleep every day and falling asleep gets worse.
When she started in the jungle, she couldn't defeat those beasts at first.
Later, those beasts can only become her prey.
"Eat?"
Well, she also ate quite a bit of prey.
“…… Sister Cat, how to sleep, sleep on your side or on your stomach, what time to sleep, how many hours to sleep, are there any requirements? ”
Ji Liang listened to Sister Mao's unreliable answer, was silent for a while, and then asked enthusiastically.
"Well, it seems like you can sleep any way, I like ......"
Seeing that Ji Liang continued to ask, the desert cat also felt a little good as a teacher.
I didn't play with my mobile phone, I sat and told Ji Liang.
Ji Liang listened and took notes seriously, and the desert cat became even more energetic.
"And the breathing when you sleep...... Don't know how you breathe when you sleep? That's how I breathe when I sleep...... Meow ......"
"Do you still have a cat barking?"
“……”
……
“…… Sure enough, we are still a little unfamiliar with the police business, and when we first heard Ji Liang's tone, it is estimated that we are all fraudulents. ”
At the other end, in a room.
A middle-aged man who had just finished talking to Ji Liang said to another middle-aged man next to him.
"How? Is there any information we've left behind? ”
"Nope. It's basically the same as we know from all sides. ”
"Then this giant tiger incident is over?"
"Hmm...... I'm afraid ......"
……
“…… Got one? ”
"Nope. The place of Taoist cultivation, or don't smoke. Let's visit again for advice, it's better to have more courtesy. ”
"Hmm."
Two middle-aged men, walking along the village at the foot of the mountain.
Winding along the hillside to the end of the trail, this somewhat dilapidated and old Taoist temple.
Standing behind the door of the Taoist temple, a middle-aged man scattered a cigarette towards another person.
The other man waved his hand in refusal, and the man who smoked nodded his head, and he didn't smoke again, putting the cigarette back in the box and putting it back in his pocket.
"You say, this is the first Taoist temple and temple we have visited?"
"Well, I met three liars, two who couldn't even read the scriptures, and a bunch of ...... who could only read the scriptures."
The two middle-aged men who came were the two middle-aged men who appeared at the foot of Yuan'an Mountain earlier.
At this moment, both of them were tired and haggard on their faces, their eyes were bloodshot, there were some bags under their eyes, and there was a lingering smell of smoke on their bodies.
It seems that he made a special trip to visit the Taoist priest in the small Taoist temple on the edge of this mountain village.
"Well, let's not talk about that. I have already arrived at the door of the Taoist temple, and I still have some respect for the Taoist temple. Let's knock on the door. ”
"Okay."
I said a few words tiredly, and also tidied up some crumpled clothes on my body,
Dusted off, wanted to dispel the smell of smoke, and also gasped to go up the mountain to gasp,
After doing enough etiquette, so as not to annoy people, the two stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door of the Taoist temple.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"
The door of the Taoist temple was knocked several times.
But in the Taoist temple, there was no echo, and some people came to open the door.
"Dao Chief? Anyone? ”
"Dao Chief?"
The knocker shouted twice more loudly.
But there was still no response.
The two middle-aged men looked at each other, and they were basically ready to run away.
Somewhat disappointed, ready to leave.
Just when the middle-aged man who knocked on the door stopped,
Not far away, but there was a voice that asked a little puzzled,
"You're here to find the Taoist?"
When I turned my head, I saw an old farmer passing by from the terraced fields on the mountainside next to him.
Probably the villagers at the foot of the mountain, right?
"Yes. The Taoist chief in this Taoist temple is not there? ”
"No, it's not the right time for you to come, the Taoist has gone. It's been a few days. ”
"Do you know when this Dao Master will come back?"
"How do I know? The Taoist chief is a master of the Tao, maybe he will sleep in some mountain forest for a few years, maybe he will travel to some faraway place. I'm a, you see, a villager at the foot of the mountain here.
I don't know when the Taoist will come back, and the Taoist won't deliberately tell us when he comes back. ”
"That's right...... You live in a village at the foot of the mountain, so you should be familiar with this Taoist leader, right? ”
"Familiar and familiar, this Taoist temple has always been here, I was here when I was young, and I haven't seen any change in so many years. You say it's familiar, it's not familiar.
But if you want to say unfamiliar, then you are not very familiar. The Taoist leaders in that Taoist temple are all the heads of the dragons...... Eh, the one who doesn't see the end...... I don't seem to have seen the Taoist chief a few times...... Recently, Lao Chen died in the village before, and the Taoist chief happened to be in the Taoist temple and came down to help with a ritual, and I happened to meet him. ”
"That'...... Is this Taoist leader powerful? It is...... Isn't it supernatural? ”
"Huh...... What are you asking? ”
Listening to the question of one of the middle-aged men, the old farmer couldn't stop laughing,
"I see you're younger than me, why are you so superstitious? It's also powerful, why do you ask if you can fly? The Taoist is a cultivator, there is a Tao, but you can't soar the clouds and drive the fog, you say yes, you want this, you take a plane, this plane flies in the sky every day......"
The two middle-aged men listened to the old farmer's words, and were speechless for a while,
was suddenly taught a lesson, or did he say that he was superstitious.
“…… Then how can you see that the Taoist has cultivated for the Tao? ”
One of the middle-aged men listened, but couldn't help but ask again.
"Hey ......"
When the old farmer listened, a smile was on his face,
A smug and happy look, as if to say, I understand this, but you don't.
"I can really talk about it. If you want to say it, you have to say, the last time Lao Chen's funeral ......"
"It's the Taoist here, presiding over the funeral. At the funeral, there are many magical things...... I don't have to say anything about the ability to recite scriptures. ”
"Reading that scripture is refreshing to listen to...... The whole mind is clear. Look at me, I'm so old, and there are a few big characters from time to time...... But listening to the sermon and reciting the scriptures for a long time is as if you still hear some truth...... Also, after listening, the whole person is relaxed and comfortable...... At the funeral, you said how uncomfortable it was, it was smoke and fog, but hey, there is a scripture read by the Taoist, he is just different......"
The old farmer spoke, as if he was proud that he had heard the passage of the passage.
The two middle-aged men listened to the old farmer's words, and their spirits suddenly perked up.
The Taoist monk recited the scriptures well, and along the way, the two of them listened a lot,
But what the old peasant said to this extent is obviously not the effect that ordinary Taoist priests can achieve by reciting scriptures.
It's not refreshing, but it's a lot more sleepy to listen to.
“…… And yes. When he was buried, the old Chen family's cow also came over, do you know...... The old cow of the old Chen family also seemed to have listened to the scriptures of the Taoist, understood human nature, and knew that his master was dead...... If you lie in the grave as soon as you want, you won't be allowed to be buried......"
The old peasant was in good spirits, and told the two middle-aged men what he had seen before.
The middle-aged man listened, and the whole person was in good spirits.
Is this found?
“…… Old man, are you sure that this Taoist master didn't do anything else before reciting the scriptures to you? For example, what did he give you something to eat, or light the incense and candles he brought himself? ”
"Hey! You are the person. I know what you're trying to say, I think the Taoist has drugged us, right? The incense and candles were all bought by the host's family in the town, and the food at the banquet was made by the village cook. Besides, what kind of medicine can make me understand some truths, make me feel comfortable and refreshed? Give me ginseng? ”
The old farmer said, no longer curious.
The two middle-aged men listened, but they had some more confidence in the Taoist here.
It is indeed unusual, and it can be heard from the details that this Taoist is indeed extraordinary.
But......
"I don't mean that, didn't we make a special trip to visit this old Daoist?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly apologized and asked again,
"Old man, don't you really know when this Dao Master will come back? Does anyone know where he went? ”
"Humph! That's what I saw with my own eyes...... Then who knows, the Taoist chief said to come, said to go, and didn't tell the people in the village where he was going, before the son of the old Chen family wanted to go up the mountain to thank the Taoist chief, but he didn't meet the Taoist chief. ”
The old farmer was still a little unhappy.
Hearing this, the two middle-aged men were also a little helpless.
What to do, it seems that I have found a Taoist with real skills.
But no one was found.
The two of them had a headache, but they could only give up.
The old Taoist here, he doesn't know his identity, and he doesn't even have a Taoist certificate.
The world is so big that no one knows where to go.
At most, call someone to take turns guarding here?
"Old man, look at this, can you please go up the mountain every day to see if the Taoist chief has come back, and if you come back, contact us? We're willing to pay you a fee. ”
"What do you want to do?"
However, the middle-aged man's words made the old farmer a little vigilant.
"What do you want to do in such a hurry to find the Taoist?"
"Huh...... Speaking of which, where are you from and where are you from, I see that you are born as if you have never seen you before. ”
"Huh...... You are in such a hurry to find the Taoist chief, it can't be from Qian Village, right? ”
The two middle-aged men watched the old farmer become vigilant, and wanted to explain out loud.
But when he heard that the old farmer suddenly seemed to understand something, he mentioned a village, Qian Village.
The information revealed in these words made the two middle-aged men look at each other and frown.
"Old man, we are not from Qian Village, we are from ...... Well, from the city. ”
"The old man said Qian Village before, maybe the people of Qian Village are looking for the Taoist? What happened to Qian Village? ”
The two middle-aged men have also experienced a lot of things and are particularly sensitive to this kind of thing.
"Looking for a Taoist? Not necessarily. They have their own husband in the village. ”
The old peasant said this, and relaxed again, but his face was a little sneering,
It's like to the gentleman of the money village.
"However, Qian Village, something is wrong. My son-in-law is from Qian Village. Two days ago, I just ran out of Qian Village, otherwise I wouldn't know about it. If you ask the second person in the village, I don't think anyone in the village knows about it.
But it's hard to say, Qian Village is in a weird situation now. My son-in-law and my daughter's family can't say clearly. ”
"Tell us about it?"
"Okay. That is to say...... It seems that there are not many people in Qian Village. It seems that someone died, and no one called the police...... My son-in-law ran out and didn't want to say anything...... In other words, there seems to be a 'fairy' in their village? ”
The old farmer said, not quite sure.
