Chapter 2: The incense burner
The shrine in the ridge is up to one meter high, short and cramped, and it is actually a land temple.
But there was no spirit tablet inside, but a dark stone, half outside, half in the earth.
The stone is covered with red silk, and in front of it is a low stone offering table with a worn incense burner and several dishes for the offerings.
However, at this time, the incense ash in the incense burner has been clumped, and the surrounding dishes are full of wastewater, and it seems that this temple has not had incense for a long time.
This land temple has existed for a long time, according to Song Ci's grandfather, this stone is a long time ago, a sacred stone that fell from the sky, it is alive, and it grows when it lands.
Therefore, the nearby villagers worshiped incense, and slowly formed a unique land temple.
In the past, it was once very prosperous incense, and then gradually declined, and only during the New Year every year, it would receive some passing incense.
When he was a child, Song Ci would pass by here every day when he went to school, and he was very familiar with this so-called land temple, and he didn't have much awe, and sometimes he even climbed to the top of the temple to play.
However, at this time, Song Ci knelt respectfully in front of the temple, lit three cigarettes and inserted them into the incense burner.
"Lord Land, bless me with a sum of money before the year, 108,000 is not too much, 350,000 is not too little, please, please, if these can be realized, I will definitely give you at the end of the year...... I'll buy you two bottles of wine. ”
Song Ci was very insincere, folded his hands and bowed three times.
At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone through the low windows of the temple and fell on the incense burner of the altar.
Under the sunlight, the edge of the incense burner exudes a warm glow.
Song Ci was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy.
hurriedly bowed to the land lord three more times.
"Thank you Lord Land, thank you Lord Land......"
As he spoke, he picked up the incense burner on the offering table.
As soon as he started to sink, Song Ci knew that this incense burner was anything but ordinary.
After a little look, I saw that the incense burner was full of dirt, and the original color could not be distinguished, but from the position of the flash just now, it could be seen that there was a touch of jade warmth, and Song Ci couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Flip the incense burner and pour out all the dried incense ashes and the three cigarettes that had just been lit.
"Thank you for the reward."
Song Ci left with the incense burner, and it can be seen from the place where the dirt fell off that this incense burner should be jade, such a big jade incense burner should be worth a lot of money, right?
Thinking of this, Song Ci's heart was also beautiful.
Thanks to the reward of the land lord, sure enough, good people have good rewards.
Song Ci carried the incense burner back to the car, ready to go home and clean it before selling it for a good price.
Restarting the car, Song Ci's originally slightly gloomy mood seemed to be a little better.
The afternoon sun shines on the body, giving people a sense of warmth.
It takes about an hour and a half to drive from my hometown of Songjiazhuang to Jiangzhou City.
Passing through Shimiao Town, Majiaji, Huaqiao Town, Haitang Town, Songjiazhuang belongs to a village below Shimiao Town.
After Song Ci got into the car, he put the incense burner on the co-pilot, and opened the order-taking software to see if there was anyone who took the hitchhike and made some gas money.
I didn't expect that luck was really good, just opened the software, and a single popped up, which was from Shimiao Town to Jiangzhou City, just by the way, so I quickly chose to take the order.
"Thank you, Lord Land."
Song Ci couldn't help but thank him again, and then he started the car and drove forward.
Although because of the road through the project, the countryside has also built a cement road, but the road is too narrow, when the two cars meet, it is a little troublesome, and the technology is slightly worse It is estimated that it can be driven into the ditch.
Tian Lianqianmo, because it is late autumn at this time, is not a low rape seedling, or a withered yellow rice stubble, but it is full of vitality.
glanced at the incense burner in the passenger seat, thinking about how to make a move.
At this moment, suddenly a person rushed to his car from the side of the road, Song Ci hurriedly braked, and was scared into a cold sweat.
"Don't want to die?" Song Ci rolled down the window and yelled at the person in front of the car.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please save my husband and son."
Only then did Song Ci notice that standing in front of him was a wet woman, with a delicate face, a mole in the tear trough on the left, a yellow sweater on the upper body, and a pair of skinny jeans on the lower body, wet hair sticking to her cheeks, her face was pale, she was holding her arms, shivering from the cold, and she looked pitiful.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Ci asked in surprise.
"My husband drove the car into a ditch, and my son is still in the car, please save him." The woman said, kneeling down to Song Ci through the car door.
"Don't ...... you"
Song Ci hurriedly opened the car door and got down, and at the same time looked at the river next to him.
In order to facilitate irrigation and drainage, there are basically such rivers on both sides of the road.
At this time, in the middle of the river, there was a white car poked in the river, only the butt was exposed on the surface of the river, and it was about to sink, Song Ci was shocked, took off his coat, picked up the safety hammer on the car, and jumped into the river.
Song Ci's water is still good, when he was young, he didn't swim in such a river, and of course he didn't suffer from his parents' mixed doubles.
At this time, it is late autumn, and although the river is not cold and biting, it is also the bone marrow of a frozen person.
But because the river itself is not wide, and Song Ci is dedicated to saving people at this time, he can still hold on for a while.
When I came to the side of the car, I glanced through the window and saw a little boy of five or six years old sitting in the back seat, leaning against the window, the water had reached his neck, and his face was full of tears and frightened.
Song Ci hurriedly raised the safety hammer in his hand, slammed the rear window a few times, and hugged him out of the back seat, and the little boy hugged his neck and cried.
Song Ci did not immediately take him ashore, but let him sit in the back of the car temporarily.
"Don't move, I'll save your father." Song Ci said.
"And my mother, woo-woo......" said the little boy crying.
Song Ci didn't think much about it, and he slipped into the water and opened the car door with a lot of effort.
The man in the driver's seat tilted his head, there was a wound on his head, and he didn't know if he was angry, but at this time, Song Ci couldn't care much, and unbuckled his seat belt and dragged him out.
Then he put his head out of the water, gasping for breath, his brain felt a wave of dizziness, fortunately it came and went quickly, but it also frightened him, and others didn't save him, so he put himself in.
Song Ci, who was relieved, found that two more people had gone into the water, and the little boy was dragged to the shore by one of them.
"There's one more underwater." Song Ci shouted loudly.
Then he dragged the man to the shore, and a young man who had just swam over heard this and immediately plunged into the water.
Because Song Ci's car was blocked in the middle of the road, all the cars behind him couldn't pass, so they got out of the car and came over to watch and help.
With the help of everyone, Song Ci, who had almost exhausted all his strength, finally climbed ashore.
Some people took blankets out of their cars and wrapped them around their children, some began to give first aid to the men who were rescued, and others called the police and emergency services.
Song Ci lay on his back on the ground, gasping for breath, looking at the blue sky.
"Are you alright?"
An uncle blocked his view.
"It's okay, thank you."
Song Ci calmed his breath and turned over and sat up.
"Well done, young man."
The uncle gave Song Ci a thumbs up.
"Grab the stick, grab the ......"
At this moment, the onlookers were in a commotion again, and it turned out that the woman in the co-pilot was also rescued.
Song Ci glanced in that direction, he didn't care, but he was suddenly stunned, and he felt chills all over his body.
Yellow sweater, skinny jeans, pale cheeks without the slightest blood, and the mole on the tear trough is particularly glaring.
Song Ci staggered to his feet, walked over and glanced at it again.
Someone pressed on her chest, but it didn't seem to do anything.
Song Ci looked around and felt that his body was even cooler, so he separated the crowd and walked to his car.
Take off the wet clothes on your body, throw them on the co-pilot, wrap the jacket you took off before, get into the car directly, step on the accelerator that has not been turned off, and drive away directly.
After driving a long distance, Song Ci couldn't help but glance back from the rearview mirror, and naturally couldn't see anything.
"Lord of the Land, I'm doing a good deed, right?"
Song Ci muttered a little tremblingly, and then turned on the air conditioner.
But I felt colder.
