Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Toad Lama
Nothing to be courteous or a thief, no wonder this guy is so enthusiastic, he has been asking us for a long time.
"Lao Xie, if you have something, just ask, I will definitely help if I can. "I was too full of what I said before, and I was caught in it all of a sudden, so I could only pretend to be a tough guy.
When Director Xie saw my agreement, he was overjoyed, "Except for you, no one else can really help me with this matter." ”
"Say what's going on, don't go around in circles. "The King Kong Cannon has been ignored for a long time, and I can't hold it back.
"This, this ......" Director Xie looked embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, he's my junior brother, not an outsider. If there's anything you can say. "I was anxious to know what this guy was asking me for. But I already have a vague feeling that it should be a tricky thing. Otherwise, the dignified director of the police station would not have begged for help so recklessly.
"Have you eaten?" said Director Xie suddenly.
"Lunch. King Kong Cannon replied again.
"Let's go, let's go out to eat first, let's talk at the dinner table, this is not the place to talk," Director Xie said and opened the door.
"Lao Xie, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, I will do it if I can do it. "King Kong Cannon and I followed Director Xie into a dumpling restaurant. Murong Chasing Wind and White Wolf enjoyed special treatment and returned to the hotel in a police car.
"That's right, if it weren't for you today, ......" The sauerkraut dumplings didn't plug the mouth of the King Kong Cannon, and they were about to reveal the filling as soon as they opened their mouths. I hurriedly kicked him under the table.
Who knew that when it came to the dinner table, Director Xie didn't talk about the business, blindly talked to us about the past, drank beer with King Kong Cannon, and told us the truth after he was full.
It turned out that this guy responded to the call for the large-scale development of the country's western region last year and took the initiative to ask to be transferred to Tibet to work, but in fact, the purpose was obvious, and it was nothing more than to take the road of promotion on the curve. After coming to Tibet, although the working environment was a little harder, he also fulfilled his wish, and was promoted two levels in a row and directly became the director of the police station.
Who knew that a few days after taking office, the three fires had not been burned out, and the matter came. The township where he is located is called Guori Township, and the residents of the area under his jurisdiction live in a mixture of Tibetan and Chinese. The place where the accident happened was the Tibetan village called Twenty Lipu. Originally, Twenty Lipu was a very remote village, but later because the state supported the development of the western region, many roads were built in Tibet and other places, and one of them passed through the hill at the entrance of Twenty Lipu Village.
"It's a good thing to build roads!" King Kong Cannon interjected with a toothpick.
"It's on this road. Director Xie looked helpless, "Since the road was repaired last year, the evil thing in Twenty Lipu Village has come." Later, the people in the village panicked and went to the temple to consult the lama, and the old lama told them that there was a monster under the mountain that was dug up when the road was built, and the mountain was dug up, and the evil spirit came out, so people died. ”
"What monster?" I asked, holding up my glass.
"How do I know, that village is full of Tibetans, I can't understand what I speak, and I have to find someone to translate. Director Xie smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand, "These guys really listened to the old lama's words, and how high the road was filled in one night with a mule pulling a horse, how could the township agree, and sent us over to catch a few leaders." ”
"Have those guys relented?" I took out a cigarette and handed it to Director Xie, and lit it myself.
"It's good to know that it is good to converge, Tibetans are different from us Han people, and their hearts are together. Grab one and come to the gang, drag the family around the police station, and they won't leave if you don't let people go. ”
"Isn't there a leader above you, please instruct, it's always not wrong to do what the leader wants. "I ate the dumplings and drank the beer, so I had to come up with ideas.
"The leader talks like a fart. "As soon as Director Xie heard me mention the leadership, he was furious, and asked me to perform my duties without affecting national unity." It's just standing and talking without backache, arresting people will affect national unity, and if you don't arrest people, you won't perform your duties, damn it, it's not right to do anything. Director Xie scolded in a hurry, as for whether to scold the Tibetans or scold the leaders, only he knows.
"Then don't arrest those villagers, just catch the toad who came up with the idea. "King Kong Cannon also wants to share people's worries.
"Toad? Besides, you think it's in the mainland, and in Tibetan areas, lamas have a higher status than village chiefs. Whoever dares to touch the lama is the enemy of all the Tibetan people. Director Xie pinched the cigarette butt and took a few puffs, very excited, "For more than a year, I have to catch them as soon as they fill in the highway, and I don't know how many black bricks have been hit." ”
"How's it going?"
"What else, fill it up at night and dig it up during the day. Yesterday, I caught a few more of them, and those Tibetans came again, pointing at my nose and scolding. I don't understand it, but it's there. "Yesterday, when we came out of the police station, we did meet some villagers from Twenty Lipu, wearing Tibetan robes and waist knives pinned to their waists, blowing their beards and glaring at Director Xie and saying something.
"I'll take a look tomorrow, it's really a mess, and we'll just help you dispose of it. "Before I could react, the cannon started beating his chest.
"If there is really something evil, we must do it where we can. I nodded. Looking at the unlucky Director Xie in front of me, I still feel a little pity, although he has kicked me a few times before, but I haven't let anyone go. I have to thank him for today's events, not to mention that they invited us to dinner and drink.
"There must be, there are about 300 people in the village, and more than 30 die in a year, so it's not right. "Director Xie was overjoyed when he saw that we agreed to help!
"That old lama didn't go to help them exorcise evil spirits?" I never had a good impression of lamas and monks, so I took the opportunity to mock them.
"I went, not only did I go, but I also built a shed on the side of the highway to live there!" Director Xie's answer surprised me, "I have lived there since the dead, and I have lived there for more than a year. ”
I frowned, there are many eminent monks in Tibetan Buddhism, and the one Director Xie said is so stoic, but there is a bit of a high monk's posture, if it is really something that even a Taoist monk can't handle, we may not be sure if we go. It seems that the previous words were a bit too full.
After chatting for a while, Director Xie sent us back to the hotel, agreed on tomorrow's itinerary, and drove back with a thousand thanks.
When we returned to the hotel, we found that Murong Chaifeng had fallen asleep, and the white wolf was lying on the floor waiting for us. Feed the white wolf, talk to King Kong Cannon for a few words and fall asleep.
The next day, before dawn, Director Xie came, took me and King Kong Pao to finish breakfast, and drove to Twenty Lipu with several policemen in the station.
Because we weren't here for fun, Murong Chasing Wind and White Wolf stayed in the hotel to watch our luggage, and the food was delivered by the hotel owner himself.
Traveling more than 20 miles to the north, we saw the 20-mile shop that Director Xie said. The village is small, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a road in the north-south direction of the village entrance, which is jammed with many vehicles, and a large forklift is busy clearing the dirt accumulated on the road.
"That horn is there. After getting out of the car, Director Xie pointed to the fork in the road leading to the village.
I looked closely, and sure enough, there was an old trumpet in a lama robe, sitting in a simple shed with his eyes closed.
"Lao Yu, there is indeed something down there!" I looked at the lama's work, and the vajra cannon was not idle, so I took a look at the surrounding breath, and finally found something strange under the road.
"He has a problem too!" I pointed to the old lama, "Old Niu, do you see his breath, like a living person?"
The old lama under the grass shed not only did not have the rui qi that a Buddhist monk should have, but also had a strong gray aura wrapped around his body, but there was still a little yellow aura on his chest.
"Ghost upper body?" King Kong Cannon raised his nose, and his face was not good.
I shook my head slowly, "No, if the ghost is on his body, his whole body should be full of black gas, and there is a yellow gas on his chest." Besides, there was a gray aura surrounding him, not like a symptom of a ghost possession. ”
As I spoke, I walked towards the hut, and when I was a few steps away from it, the old lama, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.
The lama in front of him was not young, it was estimated that he would be more than seventy if not eighty, his face was dusty, his clothes were shabby, his beard covered his mouth, and his eyes were not bright. It seems that he has indeed been staying here these days.
When the old lama opened his eyes and saw me and the vajra cannon, he smiled, beckoned a middle-aged man who looked like a villager standing outside the grass hut, and whispered a few words in Tibetan. Then he closed his eyes again.
After listening to the lama's words, the middle-aged man looked at me and the vajra cannon suspiciously, turned around and rushed back to the village.
"What did he say?" said Director Xie, turning to a policeman next to him who knew Tibetan.
He told the villager to go back and call the village chief, and he said he was going back to the temple. The police translated in a low voice.
"It's over, old Yu. People went back and called someone to beat us. King Kong Cannon said half-jokingly. The middle-aged man who had run back to the village had not looked at us kindly.
"No, there are police officers here who are afraid of anything. I said in my mouth, I don't think so in my heart, the contradiction between the villagers and the police seems to be quite deep, and it is not impossible to really beat people, I quietly glanced at the King Kong Cannon, and pinched the finger of the wind trick at him, which means: If there is really something, let's run.
"Hello, Master. I politely saluted the lama in front of me. The old lama opened his eyes and smiled at me in return, then closed his eyes again.
It didn't take much time, and a group of villagers ran over with shouts, followed by a horse-drawn cart. The villagers came to us and shouted at the policemen at the police station, probably misunderstanding the arrival of the police station and driving the old lama away.
The old lama, who had been silent, opened his eyes and beckoned to a man who looked like a village chief, summoned him to the front, pointed at me and muttered a few words to the vajra cannon, then stood up, stepped forward and saluted us again, turned around and got into the carriage, and was led away by a young man.
I and Vajra looked at each other, the old lama didn't understand what he was talking about, and it made us even more confused.
It was the policeman who knew Tibetan who walked up, "Just now the old lama said to the village chief that the person who helped them is here, and he can go back......"
