Chapter 9: The Mind of the Elders
But my further action was stopped by Liu Bin, this kid originally saw me rushed into the temple kicking up, stupidly stood outside the door did not dare to come in, for fear of messing with the gods, but a look at me pulling the red cloth on the offering table, struck a match to light a fire, immediately rushed in, reached out to the corner of the cloth that I had just lighted and pinched out, and then cried out: "Aiyo! Yinle can not make ah, okay, okay, smashed the temple we hurry to go, or the gods will be sentenced!"
In fact, I still can't understand why I was suddenly so angry, according to what Liu Bin said later, I looked like I was crazy at that time, with fire in my eyes, the temple and I didn't have a big grudge. Perhaps can only be explained by youthful exuberance, right? Or maybe …… and later that white fox child essence is related?
I was a throw Liu Bin, angrily roared: "Fear on the roll aside, I do not care what the dog days of the broken gods it, burned it dog days, see what it can still play the wind?"
Liu Bin was thrown to the door of the temple, and then rushed up to me and said, "Yinle, you are my brother, what's the big deal, you're so angry, let's not talk about the gods, if you burn down the temple, will the old ladies be happy? If you burn down the temple, will the old ladies be happy? If they get into trouble, we'll be in the wrong, won't we? If we find your family and make trouble ……"
Hearing him say this, I that nameless fire immediately disappeared without a trace, secretly even wondered what is wrong with himself? This thing to really do out, those invincible old ladies to find the home uproar, even if my uncle how tough, that is also unreasonable momentum on the defeat of three is not it?
Looking at the house full of wreckage, I hard to support the face of disdain, said: "Well, do not burn, let's go, I don't care what it is the gods, grandmother's if dare to mess with our brothers again, I immediately to the temple to it to tear down!"
Finished I a body, strutting out, Liu Bin hurriedly followed out.
From the temple out, I feel behind the temple blowing an eerie cool wind, instantly will be my whole body shrouded, I could not help but a cold shiver, frowned up, but that cold feeling did not last long, probably just two or three seconds time, I turned my head to look around, the temple inside there is nothing suspicious movement, the trees on both sides of the street residual dry leaves in the destruction of the cold wind issued is not a loud Clattering sound, I laughed to myself, feelings are their own personal paranoia, let the cold wind blow, but also when it is out of what ghosts and monsters it.
At noon, the street is cold and clear no one, I and Liu Bin hurriedly walked to the home, fortunately no one saw, if people see us two from the grandmother's temple walked out of the temple was made a mess, do not have to ask also know that I did it.
Liu Bin hurriedly walked while whispering in a thankful voice: "Luckily no one saw us, otherwise I would have been dragged down, my family can't afford to offend the grandmothers."
"Look at you!" I sneered with contempt.
"Hey, this is not a matter of talent or not, it has nothing to do with guts!" Liu Bin immediately refuted, and said in a very reasonable manner: "Ghosts scare people to death, but people scare people to death, and those old ladies are more fierce than ghosts when they are really haunted!"
"That makes sense!" I immediately nodded my head and agreed, it's really that way.
See me nodded and recognized his words, Liu Bin felt a light in the face, their own face lost because of cowardice has been saved, immediately some forgetfulness, said: "It's not that I'm not Liu Bin bragging, this is the daytime for fear of letting people see the bad, if this is the night ……"
Said here he immediately shut up, seems to know that I'm afraid to say more will provoke my interest to, or is afraid to raise the head of the three feet of the gods to hear it? Of course, I don't know what he thinks, but I did let his words to provoke the seedling, immediately said: "Yes, tonight, grandmother's burned it a motherfucker, what god ah spirit, a fire all put down!"
"Don't don't, Yinle, take my words as a fart just now, okay? You can not make trouble again, guilty of it you say?" Liu Bin hurriedly said.
I scratched my head and thought about it, said the first we are in the wrong, stealing people's meat to eat, and the second really do not know that this happened in a series of evil things in the end with the grandmother's temple has nothing to do with, not to mention …… my heart really a little bit of fear, so I'm very "generous"! Said: "Well, look and say it, if something happens again, I really will tear down its temple, Binzi, look at you scared!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm timid, this our village is only Jinzi's guts and you have a comparison, who can compare to you that guts ah?" Liu Bin no longer dare to brag about what big words, half compliments and half sarcastic sarcasm at me.
I smiled and did not speak again, Liu Bin I'm afraid that no matter how will not think, in fact, my heart, also afraid, just too much face, die to hold on to the bold, unlike others Chen Jin, that is born bold.
……
Eat lunch time, grandpa reprimanded me, let me not go to provoke the village temple things, save those old ladies looking for trouble trouble, I to the mouth to pull the rice vaguely agreed. Father in the side while pouring wine to grandpa, said: "What temple things ah, I say father, don't talk about these things all day long, let these children believe in these dry why?"
Listening to my father, I put down my chopsticks to agree with my father's words, not waiting for me to speak, my father turned his face and glared at me and reprimanded, "Are you still a child? You are so big, a little bit of interest is not, in order to eat a mouthful of meat, on other people's temples to steal meat to eat, spread the old Zhao family's face let you lose all the face! Look at you guys, one by one are some green-headed flies, stinking, idle you, back to all of you to throw you into the army to stay for three years, a good wrestling wrestling!"
"What are you saying?" Mother said in dissatisfaction, "Jinle let you force him to join the army, I won't let Yinle go to the army again, are you looking at this year's recruitment? Do you want Yinle to go?"
"Is he good enough? It's not sure if the army wants him or not!" Old Dad took a sip of wine and said angrily, "Besides, what's wrong with being a soldier? Being a soldier for a few years can be a good exercise ……"
Mother immediately interrupted father's words: "You don't come to your set of theories, Yinle can't be a soldier to go!"
Grandpa coughed next to him and said, "Okay, Jinle is going to the army, Yinle should not go, Jinle's mother also cares about her children, besides, we can't leave one of the two children at home, so next year, Yinle will go outside to learn some crafts from others, and such a big child can't play at home all the time."
Hearing grandpa say this, father and mother are silent, our family on me and big brother two children, the second uncle this year almost forty, but he and the second aunt of two people under no children, as the saying goes, the old son loves the boy, so I am also considered a family in the home to love the spoiled Lord.
"Yinle! Do not know all day blind play, those temples ah, other people's ancestral hall ah, less to go there to stroll tour, dirty things, our family is not afraid of, those with you a piece of play children, in case there is a long and short, our heart is also guilty of panic." Grandpa said very kindly.
I nodded my head in agreement.
Grandpa then said: "I heard that this morning Yao Mingtang's son let the tractor to be hit and injured, the child has been playing with you in a piece of time, afternoon let your mother to pick up two pounds of eggs for you to carry over to look at the people, the village is now rumored that the two of you have met the green long worm, Liujiagang tractor pulling bricks of the man was blinded to hit and injure the Yao Mingtang's son, people say it is Yao Mingtang messed with the grandmother's temple things, this matter is not a good thing. Grandma's temple, is this thing true?"
"Ah?" I was a little surprised, really good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles ah, but in the morning when the incident, there is no one on the street, the heart thought, must be Yao Jing this kid's own mouth to reveal the wind. Originally I intend to tell grandpa, but my parents are next to me, I said out of the old dad look at me, my mother and worry, so I said vaguely: "Do not listen to the gang of dead old ladies blind talk, not so evil it."
"Then what have you all met? Carefully tell me …… about it," Grandpa asked seriously.
Father glared at me from the side, interjected: "line father, what ghosts ah strange, are people themselves to scare themselves it, Yinle their gang of brats all day know blind play, you old man also do not worry about this child for them." After saying that, he said to me, "Yinle, go to the cabinet in the cooking house and pick up some eggs, carry the basket."
"Ai ai." I nodded my head in agreement, packed up the dishes on the table, and walked out.
It is already more than one in the afternoon, I carry a basket of eggs out of the door, walked to the hutong entrance of Liu Bin's house, I hesitated whether to call on Liu Bin to go together, but thought about it or forget it, Liu Bin saw me carrying eggs to see Yao Jing, he must also be embarrassed to go empty-handed, but let him carry out a little something from the house, I'm afraid it is very difficult, after all the family conditions are not good, his mother is bedridden for a whole year, the money did not spend a lot of, but The woman has been in bed for the whole year, money has not been spent, but it is not much better, those yin and yang fairy also invited to see, said that the residence is yin, evil things are more entangled, you must change the house, which makes the family no way, then the countryside who have so much money to say that the building of a new house on the building of a new house? Besides, it's not easy to get a new piece of land from the foundation of the house, is not it? Besides, Liu Binniang's problems had already wiped out all the family's savings.
I sighed and walked down the street alone with my basket.
To Yao Jing's home, Yao Mingtang initially did not give me a good face, according to his logic, his son provoked the gods, it is our gang of boys to instigate, to bring bad, but when he and his wife saw me carrying eggs, and listened to my words, this egg is really used to let their son to make up for the body, and immediately the attitude is very different, said that our gang of boys, only I am the most understanding of the matter.
Yao Jing lying in bed, look at his face full of pain and helpless look, I know he is not willing to lie in bed, arm broken is not particularly serious injury, and young people are active, lying in bed is really not strong, I last year in the north of the small embankment there in the tree to pull out a bird's nest, broke his arm, is not the same arm hanging around running around to play it.
Yao Jingniang deliberately let her son lie on the bed to pretend to be very serious, and then more blackmail that pulls the brick driver some money, I in the heart of the Yao Jingniang, this kind of woman is really hateful to the extreme.
Originally intended to accompany Yao Jing more chatter, save him a person lonely, but Yao Jing parents so stay in Yao Jing's house does not go out, make me stand is not, sit is also difficult to chat a few sentences will get up and said: "Jingzi, you at home, I go back to a bit of a matter, go ah!"
"Sit for a while, I'm bored alone." Yao Jing was a bit reluctant.
Yao Mingtang's wife went up and pulled her son, said with a smile, "Then Yinle you have something to do, go busy yourself, see how embarrassed this is, come to see Jingzi still take eggs, this is not out of the ordinary, right? Jingzi's father, hurry up and let Yinle take the eggs back."
"Ai ai, yes, this, this how out of the ordinary ah!" Yao Mingtang reaches out and picks up the basket sitting on the table.
"What's so strange, I'm still talking about this with Jingzi, okay, Uncle Mingtang, Auntie, don't let me go, I'll come back to take the basket back when I free it up." I said politely, people have already walked to the yard.
Yao Mingtang put down the eggs and sent out, called out to me when he walked to the door and said: "Yinle ah, not uncle nosy, this evening I lead Jingzi to kowtow to the grandmother temple to ask for forgiveness, you call you a group of people, but also to go to that piece of kowtow to accompany a wrong, you are young, do not know the relationship between the powerful, this matter is really a big deal, it will be a dead man. "
"Ai ai, I know, go back uncle, outside the strange cold." I nodded my head and agreed extremely hypocritically.
Yao Mingtang sighed seems to still have some palpitations like looking around, this only returned home.
