Chapter 7: Goodbye to the Old Man
There are two reasons for my surprise, one is that the statue at the entrance of the village is really exactly like me, and what I saw before was a phantom.
Now when I see the real thing, I feel even more similar, and if I look at my age, it seems to be at my age.
The village must have really rained yesterday, and the ground was still wet.
The second thing that surprised me was the village itself.
I originally thought that Shijin Village and the village where I live are not far away, and the two villages should be about the same level of development, but it was surprising to see it today.
At a glance, there are many two-story small western-style buildings, many cars are parked in front of their homes, and there are small factories at the foot of the mountain.
Although it is not as good as the big city, for a village, compared to the village where I grew up, it is also a heaven and an earth.
I grabbed a mask from my pocket and put it on so that no one would recognize me and avoid getting into trouble.
The moment I stepped into the village, the figures around me vanished, as if they had completed their mission and gone their separate ways.
The two stone sculptures behind him, the big willow tree next to him made a whining sound, and the willow branches were swinging in the wind, whipping on the two stone sculptures from time to time.
For some reason, I vaguely heard a strange laugh coming from the stone carving, and when I tried to listen closely, the sound stopped abruptly.
Maybe it's because I've been on the road all night, and my head is a little confused, and I have auditory hallucinations.
In fact, although I came here, I mainly listened to my grandmother's explanation, and I really don't know what I should actually do.
My grandmother said that I would come back here one day, and in my opinion, coming back was nothing more than revenge.
But now that the village has undergone earth-shaking changes, who is the revenge to seek revenge, and where does the revenge come from?
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a few leaves in front of me, falling to the ground in the wind, forming a small whirlpool that swirled in front of my eyes.
If you look closely, there are seven leaves in total, and in the center of each of them, there is a small red dot, like a red eye.
Seven treasures gathered together, and Mu Sheng led the way.
There is wood in the east, endlessly, at first sight, you can distinguish between right and wrong.
There are red dots on it, which can break the falsehood and be auspicious.
This is the spirit wood to guide the way, someone is using the leaves to guide me?!
With this in mind, I looked around to see who the spell caster was.
Unfortunately, the caster is well hidden, and he can't see where people are.
And after a few circles of leaves in front of my eyes, they followed the wind and walked forward.
I didn't dare to be vague and quickly followed.
The spell on this leaf feels like it's the same as the spell my grandmother used, what's going on? Could it be that my grandmother never left and kept watching me secretly?
Thinking of this, I looked to both sides again, but unfortunately, I still didn't see anything.
I didn't dare to shout loudly, for after all these years, I believed that the people of the village still regarded me as a monster, and if they found out that I had returned, the village would have exploded.
Quietly, chasing after the leaves, although it is early in the morning, the villagers of Shishen Village have already begun to get busy.
With a hoe or something like that, he walked towards the side of the mountain, not looking like he was going to farm, but digging something.
On both sides of the street, there are huge billboards with profiles of the three benefactors of Ishijin Village.
According to the introduction, these three benefactors came to Shishen Village a few years ago to develop the economy, build bridges and pave roads, and with their help, Shishen Village has today's achievements.
The so-called three benefactors on the billboard are all children, and one of them is even an infant baby.
"Arabian Nights." I sneered and shook my head repeatedly, not daring to linger longer.
After all, if one is not careful, the leaves will go away with the wind.
But soon, I realized that the leaves were actually taking me around in circles, taking me around Shishen Village in a big circle.
I have seen the prosperity here, and I have also seen that the people here are in a hurry and are very busy.
After a round and turn, I followed the leaf back to the entrance of the village again, and the leaf went in the other direction.
"Leaves, leaves, you go with the wind, I walk by legs.
I've been walking all night on the mountain road, do you have to tease me like that? I gasped and muttered.
Naturally, the leaves did not respond and continued to walk towards the middle of nowhere.
Just now he took me on the bustling road, as if to familiarize himself with the current appearance of Shijin Village.
And what I'm going to now is where I really want to go.
This time, it didn't take long to come to a crooked wooden house, with a weedy yard and a dilapidated iron gate.
Even the door was rusty and dusty, and I don't know how long no one had lived in this place.
Hidden behind the bustling, the courtyard walls have been changed to billboards and the like, so it is difficult to see that it is a courtyard from the outside.
It's clearly at the entrance of the village, but when you first come to the village, it's really hard to see.
After the leaves fell on the door of the wooden house, they burned directly, and in an instant, they turned into white ash and scattered with the wind.
All the houses in the village have been renovated, but here, they have not been demolished or newly built, and they are still in their original state.
Although it looked like it was in danger, I tried to kick it twice, and it was so strong that it shouldn't collapse for a while.
Why did the leaves lead me here?
Could it be ...... Here it is......
I took a deep breath and stared at the door, firmly chained with a large heavy pimple.
I looked at the people around, and subconsciously wanted to jump directly through the iron gate.
A talisman was written on the sole of his shoe, and he was about to jump, when suddenly, a coughing sound came, and someone asked in a cold voice: "What kind of person!" Thief-eyed, want to do something! ”
This is the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man, and when he turned around, he saw that someone was dressed neatly in a suit and leather shoes.
The hairstyle is even more meticulously managed, and there is a bit of vigor in the eyebrows.
But for some reason, the moment I saw this person's eyes, I felt a trace of disgust in my heart.
Even though this face is not in my memory, for some reason, I knew who he was in an instant!
This man is definitely my real father! Qin Zhong!
"What are you doing with me? I haven't seen you yet, are you?
Running to Shishen Village to steal something? Tired of being crooked, haven't you heard that Shishen Village is blessed by gods? Qin Zhong asked again.
I had secretly clenched my fists and made a clicking sound, but I could only look at Qin Zhong with a smile: "You misunderstood me, I came here to find some work."
It's from the next village, I heard that your village is developing well, so I want to make a living, but the houses here are too good, one is not used to living, and the other is not able to rent.
I happened to see that there was an old house here, so I thought about listening to it, is this house yours? Is it rental? ”
When Qin Zhong heard this, he didn't doubt it, opened the door, and said calmly: "There was a fire here, aren't you afraid?" ”
