Chapter 55: Looking for Liu Bin
In the sky above the village, the wind was howling, dark clouds were rolling in, and some scarlet red lumpy clouds were appearing and disappearing in the dark clouds.
When that huge eight trigrams figure was completely swallowed by the dark clouds and disappeared into the night sky, the dark clouds skyrocketed, blinding the entire sky, and the gloomy winds raged in the sky, emitting a mournful whistling sound, as if the dark clouds had blown the horn of victory after winning ……
I, Chen Jin, Hu Laoshi, and the old woman, sat helplessly on the cold land of the riverbank, looking up at the dark clouds rolling across the sky.
In fact, as far as the eye can see, all over the darkness, endless, only the whistling wind sound rampant blowing in the ear.
It was so amazing that it made me wonder if I was dreaming, and how could such a weird and magical event occur in real life?
Not long, the sky gradually to the center of the dark clouds surging to the sky, the surrounding sky began to flood the faint moonlight starbursts, when the dark clouds more and more, more and more thick, from the thick cumulus clouds, suddenly stretched out countless thick and thin black line, thick as a tower as thin as a tree, spreading and stretching downward, straight into the village in various places ……
Thick black cumulus clouds began to gradually shrink, continue to roll and surge, seems to be along that a line of varying thickness, all input to the village, and the village, is a huge container, holding these bizarre and eerie stinking clouds.
A bright moon finally came out from behind the dark clouds, the moonlight like silver leaks ground, bright let a person extremely suppressed mind can not help but comfortable a lot, let go of a lot, open up the clouds to see the sky feeling, really good.
"Yinle, this fucking black cloud won't be poisonous gas, right?" Chen Jin elbowed me and frowned, "Damn, why do I think of the Jap's poison gas test, boy, does it have something to do with this too? Bad bad bad, then our village can be in big trouble ……"
"This is evil gas, not poison gas." Hu Lao Si feebly opened his mouth and corrected, his voice was very small, speaking very slowly.
I turned my head and saw a pack of cigarettes exposed in the cracks on Hu Laoshi's robe, hurriedly reached out and touched it, and Chen Jin lit one, then I asked, "Is the evil gas powerful or poisonous gas powerful? If we don't hurry back, let the whole village move to another place."
I regretted saying that, this is not bullshit? It's not a joke for the whole village to move collectively.
Sure enough, Hu Laoshi shook his head and sighed, saying, "Think again."
"That …… Grandpa Hu, lend a fire." Chen Jin suddenly said.
Hu Laosi was stunned for a moment, touched his body, and shook his head with a bitter smile, "I lost it just now ……"
"Fuck!" Chen Jin cursed in annoyance.
I helplessly play with the cigarette in my hand, Chen Jin and I both have long been soaked to the skin, these three two times the flow of heat on the belt, but also warm and dry part of it, just that matchbox child, has long been wet into a ball of paste …… After relaxing from a high degree of tension, the addiction to cigarettes, it is a great deal of smoke, there is smoke and no fire, for the smokers, it is a very painful event . Suddenly, my mind flashed, turned my head and said to Hu Laoshi, "Grandpa Hu, borrow a talisman paper to use."
"Huh?" Hu Lao Si was stunned for a moment, and without hesitation, he fished out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket and handed it over, "What for?"
I didn't take his talisman paper, stuffed the cigarette into my mouth, nodded and said, "Borrow your Taoist magic again to have a fire ……"
……
Hu Laoshi lived so many years, did a lifetime of yin and yang fairy children, play a rune paper on fire small Taoist art, how it is also regarded as pure fire, but he has never used Taoist magic to ignite a talisman to …… light a cigarette.
Looked at me and Chen Jin two people a mouthful of smoke, the two points of sparks a flash, the smell of cigarettes in the air to diffuse, Hu Laoshi sniffed a few mouths, finally can not help but from the waist to touch out of the smoke pot, from my hands to borrow the past smoke, lighted the smoke bag …….
He always felt that lighting cigarettes with talisman paper and Taoist magic was too awkward, too indefensible, and a little bit sorry for his profession.
"Don't you guys feel cold? Go home." The old taiyoukai finally spoke up.
"Oh yeah yeah, it's cold." I stood up and patted my butt, flicking the cigarette butt out, the cigarette butt with the red flaming spots traced a dark red arc in mid-air, splattering several sparks as it landed.
Chen Jin did not say a word, got up and left with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Hey, Jinzi, what are you doing?" I hurriedly called out to him.
"Going home, I'm freezing to death." Chen Jin twisted his head and said rightfully.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Let s go to Grandpa Hu s house together, this thing …… we are not bored to death?"
"Also." Chen Jin nodded, and then said to Hu Laoshi, who was sitting on the riverbank, "Old master, hurry up ah, do you not mind the cold?"
Hu Laoshi gave a bitter smile and stood up with some difficulty, picking up the yellow cloth bag that broke the belt and fell to the ground, and said respectfully to the old Taiyou, "Taiyou, your old man please."
Not seeing how the old man got up, he suddenly changed from a sitting position to a standing position, hobbling his feet toward the village.
"Let's go, go back and talk." Hu Laoshi sighed and took a step to follow the old woman.
Chen Jin and I looked at each other, lowered our heads, and followed. In my heart, I always felt as if I had forgotten something, but I couldn't recall it for a while.
The moon in the sky, the stars are faint, the Milky Way through the sky, the village is quiet and peaceful, on the surface and the usual is not much different, occasionally the dog because of the four of us footsteps of the sound of walking, woofing a few times to warn us.
A thought flashed through my mind like a meteor breaking through the sky, and I shouted, "Oh no, where is Liu Bin? Where is this kid? Gotta find him quickly!"
Chen Jin suddenly stood still and hissed in anger, "Fuck me, this fuck, how did I forget about him ah? Where is this …… where to find him?"
"Don't be anxious don't be anxious ……" Hu Lao Si quickly waved his hand to persuade.
I did not pay attention to Hu Laoshi, rushed Chen Jin said, "Go, on the west side of the lotus root land there to follow the road to find, this kid …… dog day white fox subtle!" Said the words, I have turned around and walked to the front street.
Chen Jin hurriedly followed up, said while walking: "This kid, hey, you say, if there is a long and short, how do we explain to his parents ah, this ……".
The more I think, the more worried, the more anxious, the two people's footsteps are also unconsciously fast up, running to the village west of the lotus root field.
The empty field is extremely quiet, the slight cold wind from the village blowing through, cold let a person palpitation, let a person uneasy ……
Chen Jin and I two people in the heart of the fire, looking around, the distant mounds, the lonely old trees, the remnants of the snow all over the ground reflecting the not so bright moonlight …… Where to go to find Liu Bin ah?
"Bin Zi ……"
"Liu Bin ……"
The empty field, everywhere echoed Chen Jin and I two people crazy shouting.
"There! In the grave mound."
Chen Jin and I ran to the dozen or so burial mounds not far away, and without feeling any fear at all, we turned around a few times between the graves, and then walked out in disappointment.
"There, in front of that big tree."
We both ran over ……
"In the pump house."
We both ran over ……
……
Surrounded by a few hundred meters within the more hidden places, the two of us have searched, there is no trace of Liu Bin, not even the slightest sign.
The two of us were frustrated and on the verge of discouragement!
And ran back to the well, shouted a few times at the bottom, thinking that Liu Bin could not have fallen into the well, because when we both came out of the well, the wind had already gone, and at that time the white fox spirit was picking up Liu Bin, right? Or, was looking for its own flesh ……
Trying to find someone who could have possibly hung up in such a quiet night, with the power of two people, it's just too small, a bit insignificant, a needle in a haystack.
"Fuck, Hu Laoshi and Old Taiyang, two old things, he has no fucking conscience at all." I cursed angrily.
"That is, knowing that Bin Zi can not be found, may let the white fox zi Jing to the scourge, they …… I fuck!" Chen Jin pooh spit a mouthful of spittle.
Have no choice but to walk towards the village, looking at the snow in the lotus root land was trampled out by us a piece of dark mud, I suddenly slapped my head and said, "Jinzi, you say Binzi wants to go home to find someone, where is he most likely to run to? Oops right, look for footprints, quickly look for footprints!"
The two of them immediately lowered their heads and searched for Liu Bin's footprints on the snow in the lotus root field with the help of the weak light. Finally from the messy footprints to find out which is Liu Bin's footprints, and then we followed the crooked footprints to the lotus root field and the village side of a road in front of us.
When we got on the road from the lotus root field, the footprints disappeared.
There was no snow on the road and it had been cleaned up long ago.
Thinking about it, Liu Bin, if he successfully ran here and was not victimized by the white fox spirit, then he is most likely to run along this road to the front street and then run east for a while, and then …… either go north to Chen Jin's house to call out, or continue to run east to Chang Yunliang or Chang Hanqiang's house.
Then, if this kid is victimized, he is halfway to Chen Jin as well as Chang Hanqiang and Chang Yunliang's three homes.
Chen Jin and I slowed down our steps and walked slowly along the street, carefully searching every dark corner.
"Yinle, I think, something won't happen to Binzi, right?" Chen Jin said with some lack of confidence, "After all, isn't there a black cat in their house that will protect him, right?"
"The black cat protects Liu Bin's mother from death, but to pit her against many illnesses and sufferings, it is estimated that …… will not protect Liu Bin, unless Liu Bin is in their house, the black cat protects the mansion."
"The black cat is powerful or the white fox spirit is powerful?"
"I don't know ……"
"White Fox Zi Jing, oh, it and the old woman age, as if to say something demon …… is not more powerful ah?"
"Well, very fierce, very powerful."
"Fierce? Awesome? Manage a fart, is not still hanging?"
……
The two of us were talking without a word, while keeping an eye on the corners on both sides of the street, and in a short while we walked to the West Street entrance.
I said, "Jinzi, you follow the west street and turn toward your house, I also follow the front street, look for the direction of Hanqiang and Yunliang's house, we will meet at the bridge by the east canal."
"Uh, okay." Chen Jin agreed and turned around to walk north down the west street.
I continued to walk down the street to the east, about a dozen meters away, Chen Jin's voice shouted, "Yinle, quick, come back, Liu Bin is here! Found it ……"
I heart a happy, hurriedly turned his head to the west street run, the heart can not stop chanting: the dog days of the Binzi, you fucking do not happen ah, do not happen ……
Running to the west street mouth north turn not far, then saw Chen Jin is squatting in front of a small temple, rushed to the temple head softly shouted: "Binzi, Binzi, wake up ah ……".
That small temple is about one meter five high, less than one meter five horizontally, vertically is one meter like that child, but also the whole pointed tile roof brick wall, completely is the reduced version of the grandmother's temple, but here the head of the gods enshrined tablets, that is Ding Ding, it really is a small temple God big, which is Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, three brothers …… so the temple called "Loyalty Temple".
Seriously, before passing by here can not count how many times, I had many times in the heart for the three loyal brothers sighed, you say that the others Peach Orchard three righteousness, righteousness, how many brothers passed down the ancient story of righteousness, let a person admire let a person worship, the three brothers and together to fight down how big the river and mountain ah?
How come we here, the three brothers live together in such a small place? It's not like you're going to die.
So I said to my brothers, if our village really have Liu Guan Zhang these three brothers of the gods in the words, presumably live in the intersection of the cross street and the street in front of the Guan Di Temple, that place is big ah, compared to the grandmother's temple, but also just a little bit smaller ……
At that time, several of us young people all wondered, do you think the village people have a problem in the head ah? If you're building a temple, don't contradict yourself, okay? The scale of the Guan Di Temple is so big that it can accommodate only one Guan Wu Di, he and his brother and brother three people, only live so little a small temple? This is not bullshit?
……
I think I'm getting ahead of myself, so I'll stop.
That said, I saw Chen Jin squatting at the mouth of the small temple, shouting at the inside of the Liu Bin, I was surprised in my heart, that the small temple only a little bit of place ah, stuffed into a big living person, not live suffocation death?
Three steps and do two steps rushed to the front, by the light of the moon to the inside a look, the dark small temple, only to see Liu Bin curled up in a kind of absolute high degree of modelling nestled in the inside, closed eyes, chest is a volt. Now I am relieved, people did not die on the good, I hurriedly reached out to pull Liu Bin's arm, while the child complained: "Jinzi, hurry to get out of him ah, let him do what in the head?"
"Nonsense, I've pulled several times, can't pull." Chen Jin hurriedly reached out to help me pull Liu Bin's arm out.
It's really strange, Liu Bin this kid is just unconscious and won't wake up. And this small temple door is just sixty or seventy centimeters high, less than half a meter wide, less than a meter deep inside the temple, a little more than a meter wide, there is a small offering table small statue of a small incense burner …… a person stuffed in is a difficult thing, not to mention pulling it out.
The two people spent nine oxen and two tigers, and finally dragged Liu Bin out, this kid still does not wake up, the nose spraying hot air, huffing and puffing, grandma's with the sleeping like.
Chen Jin and I tired to sit on the ground, a little rest, and then hurriedly get up, let Chen Jin back up Liu Bin, I support in the back, hurry to Hu Laoshi's home to go.
Liu Bin can be sure to hit the evil, by the white fox spirit to the scourge, this if sent to his home, not his parents to die of fear ah? The only way to find Hu Laoshi, let this connoisseur hurry to cure Liu Bin, wake him up …… Besides, there is not a more powerful old woman in it?
All the way running, Chen Jin and I replaced twice, finally put Liu Bing back to Hu Lao Si's door, the fence door is not closed, the house is lit with electric light.
A look at the lights on, I know that it is now the middle of the night, that time the first half of the night is basically a blackout, the power supply is insufficient ah.
In the house, Hu Laoshi and the old woman sitting on the edge of the bed do not know what is being discussed, anyway, are full of sadness, like a dead father. Seeing me carrying Liu Bin, Chen Jin in the back supporting rushed into the house, Hu Laoshi and the old woman hurriedly got up to go forward, not waiting for them to speak, I carried Liu Bin ran to the front of the kang, Liu Bin threw on the kang, and then gasped and twisted and said: "Liu Bin back, you old hurry to look at the boy eighty percent of the white fox to the scourge of the spirit, but fortunately did not die it. "
