Chapter 25: The Lotus Basin (III)
I moved a stool and said, "Come on, big sister, sit down, have a good natter with brother me. This Niangniang Temple, what's going on?"
It is said that the big sister of the Northeast bold, but we are not bad in the Central Plains, she directly picked up a cup of wine said: "This brother, I still have to be busy, do not sit down, this cup of wine I when is to make amends, you have to say that this temple of the Maiden, it is the beginning of the absolute not called the Maiden Temple, called GuanDi Temple, which honors GuanLaoLi, the temple since ancient times incense is not good, said that because of the inside of the immortal pressure simply do not The temple has not been popular since ancient times, they say it is because the gods inside are simply not spiritual, so later the destruction of the Four Olds time to smash after ah, a long time are deserted. Later, some village elders said that the temple can not be deserted, to make up for the repair, inside the beginning, not even a statue of God, no incense where the money ah? Later, when it came to a few outsiders, I do not know why, you say strange, that a few outsiders seem to have style, to even find the village of the old man Song it, but also recognize what relatives, and then later, the few outsiders on the repair of the temple of the Queen, the village of those who took the few outsiders as a wrongdoer, but also thought that the few outsiders to repair the temple is as an investment in it, and then the incense money is a return. The incense money is even a return. Everyone is still laughing at this a few outsiders this money is sure to hit the water, who knows that a few outsiders in the original Guandi Temple on the repair of this temple, which honors a name can not say the name of the Queen, before at least Guan Er Master it. Now the gods do not spirit even if, the name do not know, so this temple of the Maiden incense, is worse to the grandmother's home, just accept to stay a little beggars and so on, the days of these years is good. Beggars also no one to live, as for those few outsiders, fixed the temple on the go, never came back. So you ask me who is enshrined in this Maiden Temple, where do I know? No one in this entire Lotus Basin probably knows."
We chatted with this big sister a few more times, and I could probably tell a vague line. If my guess was good, the ones who came to Lotus Basin to look for Song Xiaoguang were none other than Li Jianfeng's people, it's just that what I don't understand is, even if they came here to look for Song Xiaoguang, why would they want to make a temple here? I looked at Fatty and Lin Baqian, they both seemed unable to give me an answer either. What is the truth of the matter, it seems that we still need to go find this Song Xiaoguang.
After eating, we each went back to the room to rest, not a moment later, the fellow found me, this young man is very eye-catching, the work does not need me to account for, when the future of this four words, he said to me: "three two brother, I have asked, is the Luoyang Liu family, I entrusted the Luoyang Liu family of the brothers to find out, that side of the people say Liu family this time to Lotus basin children, is a very prestigious person in Beijing entrusted, come, is to buy away this lotus basin village under the surface of the stone, specifically what stone, do not know. It seems to be some kind of statue."
I patted the fellow's shoulder and asked, "Young man, what's your name?" –I have to say, I really appreciate this fellow very much, really too resourceful.
"Brother San Liang, my name is Xu Lei, just call me Lei Zi." He said.
I nodded and said, "Young man do a good job, you go back first, have a good rest, tomorrow we are going to enter the village, it's best to find out a little bit more specific information about the person who is looking for this Liu family to do the job."
Lei Zi said goodbye after leaving, while I found the fat man, said to him Lei Zi found the problem, Beijing people looking for the Liu family to come, in fact, Beijing this prestigious people should be able to guess who is, that is Zhuge Qingfeng, he listened to the conversation between me and Li Dangguo, I was delayed because of Lin Bachan's things, so his people came a little faster than us.
"Don't be too uptight, I asked Lin Bachiqian, what he said to me means that it's best to avoid dealing with Zhuge Qingfeng, no one is offended, of course, not because Zhuge Qingfeng's special background does not dare to offend him, but to say that it is, there are some things that we would rather have more than less, the political level of things, less involved is better." Fatty said.
I nodded, not commenting on Fatty's words, or rather, my attitude is basically the same, for example, Fatty told me about the matter of the Bashu Dragon Land, I estimate that if I really get involved in it, I will be immediately pulverized.
-Rested the night, the next day, we went into the village, this Lotus basin is really lively, a few so-called big family, because of a few stones, but also a big fight, the countryside this side of the matter, a fight is a clan type, the police are not good enough to make. This is not, early in the morning on the dry up.
This is a piece of stone, pressure is not a statue, is a simple stone, put in the road teeth, wind and water rain do not know how many years, it is what we do not know, the only use may be the village people occasionally cool time to sit down.
The result is now someone to collect it, at first said to give 10,000, now the countryside is also monkey fine monkey fine, a piece of broken stone to 10,000? Change our understanding must be sold immediately, this must be sold ah, but this just started on this stone "ownership" of this family is too smart, this piece of broken stone to 10,000, this thing is certainly not a stone so simple answer. The reasoning of the odd one out is that everyone understands. So he did not sell, directly asking price: "one hundred thousand! To pull away, do not negotiate, this stone, but my family's ancestors have eighteen generations of good things."
Originally is a fraud, who knows Luoyang Liu's family of these people are really willing to pay, said 100,000 on 100,000, we can pull the stone away, this family immediately backtracked, his mother's you guys buy so fast, the old man must be saying less, half a million! The price of one bite, the counter-offer do not come.
Liu's people although disgusting, but said into, half a million, can not be more, more we do not want, this time the people did not regret, said half a million, take the money to the stone pull away, this Liu's people to the money to bring ah, pull the stone, gave things.
Five hundred thousand ah, that is a huge amount of money, who fucking not red? The family originally had ownership of the stone, but the so-called ownership of this stone is close to his home even if it is his family's things, but others have been to this can be sold for half a million, immediately quit, said I fuck, this is my grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's things, how to become your family's it?
This popped up, there is more than one, either his grandfather, or Mrs. Grandpa's, in short, my family's things, anyway, dead no proof is not? This stone will not answer that I am whose family, right?
So all of a sudden on the stalemate, the Liu family would like to give more money to take it, these families do not do, the more you give the more fierce fight, who want this money in the hands of others? So, originally a piece of broken stone, to the present, but also became a big treasure to break the head.
We went to the village, a few families are still cross swords, separated by a long distance, we saw the stone on the roadside, the stone is four square, the head is not small, but how to say it, it is just a big stone. How also not worth so much money ah.
"Master Fatty, see anything?" I asked Fatty.
"No, what is Zhuge Qingfeng up to?" Fatty is also very puzzled.
"It should be that there is something inside the stone, this stone is not a treasure." Lin Bachan said.
The few of us were like bystanders looking at the noise over there, but that wasn't our purpose, I smoothly pulled a kind looking aunt next to me and asked, "Auntie ah, how do I get to Song Yaguang's house?"
"You're looking for Song Yaguang, turn left and go straight. See the only earthen house there, that's Old Man Song's house." Auntie pointed the way.
I said a word of thanks, then the four of us walked towards Song Yaguang's house, I was still a little bit inexplicably excited to be about to meet that Song Xiaoguang who had the guts to dare to carry the goblin on his bed. We hadn't taken two steps when we heard the aunt behind us say, "This Song Xiaoguang has quite a few relatives, how come the people who came to see him all look quite rich?"
Along the road pointed by the aunt, we found a dirt house, this may be the house when the country was built, before the tile house, the roof is still put with thatch, the yard is tied with a fence, inside the chickens and ducks are there, there is also an old hair loss of the big black dog.
