Chapter 12 Chapter 11 Demolition Seven Years Ago

I thought the culprit turned back halfway and wanted to catch a woman to be Mrs. Yazhai, but the bus driver said that this time it was not a robber.On the road ahead, a tractor overturned, and the loaded tea leaves were drying out on the ground. The master driver of the tractor was putting the tea balls back under the rainproof cloth.The bus driver said that the name of the tractor master is Wang Junqiang. This man has been driving for more than 20 years, and has traveled the southern Sichuan-Tibet line several times. He has never had any accidents. The rain is not heavy today. on the trail.

The tractor transported a lot of tea, and the front of the truck was facing us. It was estimated that it was going to leave Menghai and transport it elsewhere.Fortunately, the tractor master was fine, but the tea leaves fell all over the ground, and the rain had already wet a lot.While watching, everyone complained that the tractor master was clumsy, and no one helped at all.Just now when the bandits left, they didn't take away the tractor that was blocking the road. It was the passengers who pushed the tractor aside, but now no one is willing to get out of the car in the rain.When I was young, I experienced too much poverty, and I could understand the helplessness of no one to help me, so when I saw this, I got out of the car to help pick up tea balls.

Unexpectedly, the bus driver was one step faster than me. He said as he walked, "Old Wang, why did you fall here? You have never had any accidents!" I finally squeezed out of the car, the passengers complained unhappily, Zhao Shuai and Li Xiuzhu also followed, they not only came to help, but also wanted to breathe fresh air, because the stuffy heat in the car could really suffocate people to death.Wang Junqiang was very surprised that someone came down to help, and he said thank you sincerely, and he looked like an honest person.Wang Junqiang asked us to call him Lao Wang, don't call him Master Wang, if he is a master, he will not overturn.

I stuffed the tea leaves under the rainproof cloth, wiped my nose and said, "People make mistakes, horses make mistakes, who can't eat, and who hasn't been choked?" "It's like me. I took a lot of cars before I was born. Who knew that I would be so motion sick today. I really didn't expect it." Zhao Shuai said with a pale face. "Bragging every day, there will be a day when the cowhide will be blown! Some people who gnaw on their old books will only vomit except for bragging." Li Xiuzhu insinuated again. Lao Wang felt that the atmosphere was not right, he looked at us blankly, thinking he had offended someone.I hurriedly changed the topic to another side, and asked Lao Wang if he wanted to sell the tea outside the mountain after he picked it up.Old Wang kept sighing. It turned out that the tea leaves had been soaked a lot. Selling them would be defrauding customers and smashing their own signboards, so they could only go back to the village and dry the tea leaves before going out of the mountain. .

I always praised Lao Wang for his honesty. If it were me, even if I just fished it out of the water, I would still sell it.Lao Wang smiled foolishly, then stared at Li Xiuzhu in a daze, I was stunned for a moment, thinking that I had just praised Lao Wang, and now I have lusted after him, it's really fucking unflattering.Li Xiuzhu blushed shyly, she was completely different from the lady in Beijing, she didn't dare to look directly at Lao Wang, but lowered her head and just picked up the tea balls. It turned out that Lao Wang and Li Xiuzhu were from the same village, no wonder they stared at Li Xiuzhu in a daze.Li Xiuzhu called Uncle Wang, and then nervously asked her parents if they were safe and if they were still angry.Lao Wang was silent for a while, and didn't answer right away. I lied and told my experience, and I quickly guessed that something might have happened to Li Xiuzhu's parents.Sure enough, under Li Xiuzhu's questioning, Lao Wang said that when the village was demolishing a building seven years ago, Li Xiuzhu's father's leg was broken.

Li Xiuzhu thought she had heard it wrong. She said that she often wrote letters to her family, but her family did not mention this matter. Maybe Lao Wang was confused and confused things.Before Old Wang could answer, Li Xiuzhu remained silent. She probably knew that her family kept silent on purpose so as not to worry her who was working outside. Finally, we helped Lao Wang pack up the tea balls and straightened the tractor. Fortunately, the tractor was not broken.After Lao Wang thanked him, he had to turn the tractor around and drive back to the village. Because the tractor was relatively small, it was easy to do.When we were about to walk back to the bus, Li Xiuzhu suddenly stopped Lao Wang again. She asked that there were no particularly large buildings in the village, and which building was to be demolished in the village seven years ago.

Old Wang glanced at us, and replied calmly: "It's that house, the one left by the foreigners, Xiuzhu, do you remember it?" After hearing this sentence, I was more excited than Li Xiuzhu. I didn't expect that the Fohai Demon House was demolished seven years ago!How could the gold box in that house still exist? If it really existed, it would have been dismantled and sold by the demolition team long ago.Others are not fools, what's more, they know the rumors of the golden box better than us, and they must have paid attention to that thing when the house was demolished.I felt so uncomfortable that I traveled thousands of miles and traveled across mountains and rivers, but who knew it was all in vain.

Back on the bus, Zhao Shuai comforted himself. He guessed that since the golden box is so mysterious, it must be difficult to find.Even if the house is demolished, it is unlikely that others will find it, maybe it will be buried underground.When we get there, dig three feet into the ground, not to mention the gold box, even a ginseng doll can dig out several.I couldn't help sighing, in fact, I don't have much greed for the treasure in the golden box, but I am very curious about the things my grandfather mentioned, and I really want to see it with my own eyes. The bus drove through several sections of winding mountain roads, and finally arrived at Menghai County. I stretched my neck, the drizzle blocked my sight, and there were a few houses among the green mountains and trees in the distance.Li Xiuzhu wanted to go back to her village right away, but she remained silent in the car and didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Shuai's taunts.Originally, Li Xiuzhu happily returned to her hometown, wanting to honor her parents, but who knew that her father's leg was broken seven years ago, but the family kept concealing it, and anyone who experienced such a thing would be so sad.

I was really worried and wanted to accompany Li Xiuzhu home, but Zhao Shuai coughed and reminded me of the purpose of my trip.Li Xiuzhu glared at Zhao Shuai. To me, Fohai Yaozhai is not in the county town, but next to a village in the east of the county town, and her home is in that village.I saw that it was still early and there was nothing to buy in Menghai County, so I decided to go to the stockade with Li Xiuzhu without stopping.First, let's see what I can do to help Li Xiuzhu, and second, go to the ruins of the Yaozhai, maybe I can really pick up the golden box. The county seat in Zhaizi is far away, and we walked until it was dark before arriving. Zhao Shuai didn't want to leave several times, but he couldn't go to the village or shop, so he had to bite the bullet and continue on his way.This village is called Manlong Village. It is dirty and remote, like a sunken ship in a green sea.After nightfall, the village was engulfed in darkness, and the dim lights were useless at all.There is a gate in Manlong Village. There are some white mysterious symbols drawn on the gate, as well as bird and dog totems. It looks very scary.

"Zhaizi is not like a city. There is no hotel. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house." Li Xiuzhu turned to me and said. I hesitated for a moment and asked, "No way, how can we two big men..." "It's already here, you can't live with me, so it's impossible to sleep outside, right?" Zhao Shuai was very straightforward. Li Xiuzhu explained patiently: "The people in the village are different from those outside. They are very hospitable and don't have that kind of unclean male and female thoughts. You don't have to worry."

In fact, I was just being polite. In fact, what I thought was the same as what Zhao Shuai said. If I lived in the mountains, I might be picked up by wild animals as soon as I fell asleep.Manlong Village is not big, and no one comes out to walk around after dark, just like a wild shop in a barren mountain.We followed Li Xiuzhu forward in the dark, detoured a few paths, and stopped in front of a wooden house.Li Xiuzhu pushed the door open and entered, thinking that the wooden door was unlocked. As soon as she entered, she saw an old man lying on the bed smoking a big cigarette, and the room was filled with thick smoke. When the old man saw Li Xiuzhu coming back, he was startled at first, then burst into tears, and hurriedly limped over to hug his daughter.Zhao Shuai and I stood aside in embarrassment, not knowing where to put our hands and feet, and were wondering if we should go out first, but Li Xiuzhu immediately introduced us to her father.Mr. Li was probably too happy, so he immediately invited us to sit down and said that he would make some delicious treats.Zhao Shuai and I were tired from the journey and wanted to have a quick urinate, so we asked if there was a toilet in the cabin. Father Li pointed to the back of the house and said that there is a toilet there, but only one person can use it at a time.I walked to the back of the house with Zhao Shuai, and at the same time we discussed going to the ruins of the demon house tomorrow. If the house has been moved, we will go back to the house in a few days.Zhao Shuai was a bit reluctant. He said that he saw several girls from ethnic minorities along the way, and they were all oirans when they stopped in the capital. Why don't they stay here for a month, if they can't find the gold box, it's not bad to find a daughter-in-law. . We talked nonsense indecently, but when we went to the back of the house, we saw a boy of twelve or thirteen beating and kicking a wild tree, cursing in some unintelligible dialect.I remember that Li Xiuzhu said that she had a younger brother, who was about the same age as this guy, so he was probably her younger brother.So, I greeted the young man, who was startled, turned around and asked me who I was in broken Mandarin.I said I was Li Xiuzhu's friend, but the young man yelled at us, saying that the people in the room were not his family members, and then ran away. "Look at you, you have a hot face and a cold ass, and you don't even look at who the other party is, can you strike up a conversation casually?" Zhao Shuai accused me. "Come on, go pee quickly, go back to eat after peeing, remember to wash your hands!" After I finished speaking, I looked at the young man who was going away, feeling weird. During the meal, Li Xiuzhu asked Father Li where his mother and younger brother had gone, but Father Li said they were all dead.Li Xiuzhu was so nervous that she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and Zhao Shuai and I also lowered our heads to eat, not daring to pant.As I ate, I thought, the young man behind the house must be Li Xiuzhu's younger brother, and he probably had a falling out with the old man, so he didn't come back for dinner in a fit of anger.I used to do this kind of thing a lot, and my father was always pissed off by me. When I was a child, my ass almost beat him to pieces.But having said that, where did Li Xiuzhu's mother go? Could it be that she was also on airs, so she hid in someone else's house? During the meal, Li Xiuzhu didn't dare to ask about her family anymore, she only blamed her father for not telling her about her broken leg early.Father Li was in tears, and kept saying that it was good for his daughter to come back, and other things were not important.In fact, I really want to ask Father Li, why they demolished the Buddha Sea Demon House, didn’t they mean that no one dared to approach it, and it’s okay to be deserted there, so why bother.However, Zhao Shuai and I didn't ask, but Li's father fell in love with Zhao Shuai and said that Zhao Shuai was going to marry Li Xiuzhu, so he would die in peace. That night, Li Xiuzhu kept chatting with Father Li, Zhao Shuai and I couldn't interrupt, so we went to bed early.Because the wooden house is not big, Zhao Shuai and I huddled together on a big bed, but this guy slept dishonestly, even though he was asleep, his hands were dishonest, and he even touched me.I was so disturbed that I couldn't sleep, and I wanted to urinate again, so I turned on the flashlight and left the room.There were many strange birds calling in the stockade late at night, one after another, I was so scared that I almost lost control of my urine. Squinting my eyes and walking to the toilet, I unzipped my trousers and was about to pee, but suddenly felt something was wrong.Confusedly pressing the flashlight down, I looked down at the stinking latrine, but I saw a person half-buried in the excrement.
