Chapter 199: The Mysterious Old Blind Man
After listening to these strange words of this little urchin, the village chief didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that who was playing a prank on him. Originally, I thought that even if this excavator couldn't be checked and repaired, then just replace it, no big deal.
When he unfolded the crumpled piece of paper, he couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that he couldn't understand the meaning of the four-line heavenly book-like text at all, but he clearly recognized the word "human head" in it. Then I followed the direction of the little urchin's finger, and sure enough, I saw an old blind man who looked like a beggar in the distance, walking around alone.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
This time, he was scared enough, so he quickly hid the paper, and then beckoned his subordinates to say that he had an urgent matter in the town today, and asked the excavator to go back first, and wait a few days before continuing to work. didn't dare to say the real reason at all, but just urged everyone to disperse quickly and go back.
When he got home, he closed the door of his room, and then carefully looked at the strange piece of paper several times, and finally made out the other words "one", "mystery", and "leisurely", which made him feel even more uneasy.
It turned out that he had vaguely heard from the elders earlier, this barren mound is an unlucky place, it is said that in ancient times there was a walled building in this place, which should have been destroyed in the war.
Moreover, I heard that many people had died in this place, and the whole place was buried with unclaimed corpses. However, for a long time, no real valuable inscriptions have been found in this vicinity.
Even so, although this place is located at the north end of the village and the location is also very good, it is true that no one has dared to build a house on it for so many years, and it has been abandoned like this. Even in the first few years, the village was officially planned, and for some unknown reason it was finally left abandoned.
So much so that now the north and south central streets of the village are forced to divide into two strands and go around when they get there. This is nothing that the people of the village have long been accustomed to, but in the eyes of outsiders, they always feel weird, and it is a bit unsightly to be left alone and deserted.
To be honest, he is also a person who has seen a lot of people in the market from south to north, and he didn't pay much attention to these folk rumors passed down from generation to generation, so he didn't take it seriously at that time.
In addition, there is indeed no other ideal idle land in the village, and the inspection team from above has always been deeply dissatisfied with the existence of this wasteland mound, and has repeatedly proposed to let the village carry out rectification.
Only then did he make up his mind to build an apartment for the elderly in the village at his own expense in this place, firstly, to do something practical for the village, and secondly, to completely clean up this dirty and messy place.
However, as soon as the word "human head" appeared on this piece of paper today, it suddenly made him nervous again. Plus, when he saw the old blind man dressed as a beggar, he remembered more bizarre pasts. It turned out that when he was a child, he often saw this old blind man in the village.
Not only that, but according to the old man in the village, this old blind man has been present in this area for at least a few decades. For so many years, he has been alone, wandering around the nearby villages, occasionally touching the bones for people, and sometimes even treating people's diseases, and his popularity in this area is very good.
Although many people say that he is not only extremely effective in hexagram calculations, but also his orthopedic medical skills are extremely magical, many people in the village within a radius of dozens of miles have received his favor. But he has always lived only by simple begging, and never accepted anyone's money and gifts, even begging only to barely make ends meet, and never accepted excessive alms.
Also, his real age
No one knows, even the old man in his eighties in the village has secretly told everyone that when he was young, this old blind man has always been like this.
In this way, the old blind man became mysterious, and he had been wandering around the nearby villages within a radius of several tens of miles for decades, and he especially liked to stay near this mound. This can't help but make people slowly have some marginal speculation, so that some people say that he is a remnant of the Huidaomen before the liberation, some people say that he is a master who touches the palm of Captain Jin, some people say that he is a Jiangyang thief who committed a big crime in the early years, and so on and so forth.
However, firstly, his popularity is excellent and there is no evil trace, and secondly, after the corresponding investigations have been done by various departments, they have indeed not found any suspicious traces, so naturally no one speculates.
Slowly, the villagers in this area regarded him as a hidden saint in the game world, and no one dared to treat him as an ordinary blind man and beggar, and became a well-known strange man.
It's just that in the past twenty years, he has not been seen in this vicinity again. Many people speculate that he may have already died and traveled westward with a crane, and until now, there are still many old people in the village who will talk about this master who has no head and tail of the dragon from time to time.
This is also the real reason why he hurriedly ordered the suspension of work after seeing this old blind man today, and he suddenly felt faintly that he seemed to have something big going on. But he didn't dare to make this matter public, for fear that the villagers would cause some unnecessary speculation, and if he didn't get it right, it would cause a large-scale panic.
Because after all, this old blind man is in this area, and even now he is quite influential among some middle-aged and elderly people. Second, if he is now the village director, if he spreads these "fallacious rumors to confuse the public" remarks without clarifying the truth, he will bear a certain amount of responsibility, and if he does not do so, he will be dealt with administratively.
In this way, he had to be careful not to wait and see what happened, although he was anxious, but on the surface he still had to pretend that nothing happened, as if nothing had happened. After he had been in his room for half an hour, he immediately drove out by himself, telling the others that he was going to town for a meeting.
But when he left the village, he didn't drive directly into the city, but turned around and went to a small processing factory run by a friend from out of town. When he got inside, he borrowed a car from a friend on the pretext that his car was in a little trouble.
Then, he drove the car back to his village, and even put on sunglasses and pulled up his collar before entering the village, deliberately not being easily recognized.
When he entered the village, he first went around the vicinity of the mound, and then drove back and forth twice on the streets of the village, and at last followed the large and small roads that came out of the village.
It's just strange that in less than an hour, this mysterious old blind man has completely lost his trace.
Since he couldn't find anyone, he still didn't give up, so he drove the car directly into the village committee. There, he conscientiously retrieved the surveillance video of various intersections during this time period that morning.
In the surveillance video, although he clearly saw the continuous screenshots of the old blind man entering the village in the morning, but after he received the strange piece of paper, there was no trace of the old man's movements, as if he had disappeared out of thin air near this barren mound.
After that, he specially called up the high-definition camera near the mound, but there was still no gain, and there was no picture of the old man after that. This time, he was even more restless
I got up, and I knew that I had really encountered an extremely difficult and strange incident.
Even, he suspects that the peculiar failure of the excavator for no reason should be deliberately done by this old blind man.
To be honest, in the past few days, he has been deeply troubled by this strange thing, so that he is anxious and restless. On this day, his son's birthday coincided, and the doll was bragging nonsense on the banquet, boasting about what he was proficient in.
In addition, in the past two years, he has indeed heard his aunt talk privately about the fact that there is a group of really capable friends around the doll, and from time to time he takes her out to play exciting outdoor adventures.
It's just some specific things, my aunt can't say, but I vaguely feel that these people are not simple, every time they go out, they are mysterious, and no department has ever reached out to intervene.
Since then, he has been paying close attention to this hidden little cousin. This time, he invited the doll again and again, just to see if she could help him and really solve this strange mystery.
When he heard the doll boast that he was proficient in metaphysics, he secretly called the doll to another idle room alone. When he arrived, he carefully took out the piece of paper and handed it to the doll.
After the doll looked at it, she immediately recognized the word "leisurely" in it, and then suddenly woke up most of the time. Since her expertise in this area was not good, she quickly and quietly called Jing Xin in.
After Jing Xin came in and read this paper seriously, he was immediately taken aback, and quickly explained a few words to the doll in code. Then, quietly, he gently crushed the tea bowl in his hand, and then put the paper straight into his handbag, and got up and left without explaining anything.
When the doll's cousin was stunned and stunned, the doll clearly made an explanation for him that reassured him.
The doll told him that the matter should be implicated in the secret organization behind them, and their organization decided to take over officially, so that he could rest assured that he would not be able to do so. And promised him that he would give him a satisfactory answer for as little as three days and as much as ten days.
However, the premise is that he must never mention this to anyone again, let alone say anything about the existence of their organization. Otherwise, he will be like that white porcelain teacup, and no one can guarantee his safety.
Besides, from now on, he could no longer make the slightest move, especially not to search for the mysterious old blind man and stir around the mound. Of course, even if she didn't explain it specifically, his cousin knew what to do after seeing that Jingxin, who had been quietly and quietly, showed this unique skill.
After all, he is also an old oilman who has been out there for many years, how can he not understand this taboo on the rivers and lakes, he knows that once he doesn't understand the rules, let alone what kind of cousin, even if it is a father and son brother, these secret organizations on the rivers and lakes will not be merciful.
After negotiating with him and making it clear, Doll and Jingxin excused themselves that Doll had drunk too much, and with the deliberate cooperation of his cousin, they left the table early and returned to their home overnight. Because the stakes are high, this matter is strange everywhere, and the two of them really don't dare to ignore it, so they hurriedly came to Xiao Qingfeng's house early in the morning.
After Xiao Qingfeng heard their stories clearly, he couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows and fell into deep thought. He once again carefully identified the hidden poem on the piece of paper on the side of the paper, which should indeed be so, that is: "Three temples in one building, the monk cuts off people's heads;
