C20 Cave
The next morning, the drunk left alone. I didn't know what I would do if I met him again after he left, but I felt as empty as if I had lost my umbrella.
Pepsi and I went to look at the pond at the Rosons' house. It was as Uncle Li said, although most of the dead fish seemed to have been dealt with, there were still quite a few dead fish floating on the water. When we got close to the pond, there was a very unpleasant smell.
When Luo Song saw the pond, he felt very pained. He had never thought that such a thing would actually happen. He felt that someone was deliberately doing this to him. Thus, he asked for the Old Village Chief's help.
The old village chief was already tired of the headless Buddha statue. Although the buddhist cultivation teams had already repaired the statue, the convict had not found it. Now, another incident occurred. It was really annoying.
Who exactly would do such a thing? Luo Song actually mentioned Zhang Luo who also raised fish and asked him why he was so sure. Although the reason he gave was a little absurd, it didn't seem to be without reason.
"Everyone in our village knows that Zhang Luo's fish pond fell into the buddha hole. Is there anyone else who wants to take care of the fish in the pond? It must be hard for him to lose the entire pond. Besides, there's only my family left to feed the fish, so he'll definitely let me have a taste of it." Luo Song pointed at Zhang Luo and swore.
I was about to say something when Pepsi said, You have to come up with evidence before you come to a conclusion. If you decide that Zhang Luo was the one who killed you without any evidence, then can you also use the same idea to convict you of what happened in Zhang Luo's fish pond?
As far as I know, Zhang Luo's business has always been better than yours. Don't you feel a little jealous?
"How could I be jealous? We're all from the same village." As soon as Luo Song finished speaking, he clapped his hands.
"That's good, that's what you said yourself. People in the same village can't be jealous, so why were you so sure that Zhang Luo was jealous of you? Aren't your words contradictory?" I understood that he was intentionally bringing the crime onto Luo Song when he said those words. The other party is currently the most suspicious one. If I were to try it, it is very possible that I would be able to find out the truth.
I … I... I... Luo Song was speechless for a moment. It was very possible that he had really been hit by a hundred things. This kid was usually not serious, but when he was serious, he seemed quite decent.
"Also, someone told me that since the day the Buddha statue was destroyed, whether it was raining or the weather, you would always wander in front of the temple. Weren't you the one who didn't believe that temple items could protect people the most? I don't think so. "
All these words were like a cannonball. Luo Song could not resist it at all. He wanted to explain why he was going to the temple, but it seemed like he was not given the chance.
"Did you go to the temple because the Buddha statue was destroyed by you? Did you go there because you were worried that something might happen?" He did not expect that Luo Song would directly nod.
I asked him what the hell was going on and he told me that he had already asked Roson's brother, Roman, that Roson had broken his tricycle and that there was mud mixed with Buddha statues on the back of it, so whether he admitted it or not, he was sure Roson had done it.
When the old village chief asked him why he was doing this, Luo Song told him what he was thinking. Anyway, he did not believe in temples, otherwise, why would he offer incense to the Buddha every day when he did not see the fishes in his pond be better than those in Zhang Luo's house?
As he said earlier, he was jealous because he didn't like Zhang Luo's family selling their fish better than him, and his family's fish might not be able to be sold every month.
He was obviously the one who was more interested in the fish pond, so why should he pay the same amount of effort in order to get the same amount of rewards? This was something that none of us knew.
That was why, along with a few other collaborators, he had destroyed the statue, out of hatred for the Buddha and for Zhang Luo.
He knew that everyone respected the Buddha statue, so he put on a buddhist curse and threw the buddhist head into Zhang Luo's fishpond, so no one would dare to buy his fishpond anymore.
The old elder scolded him. He was the one who paid for the cultivation of the Buddha statue in the village, and at the same time, Pepsi and I could be considered to have completed our mission to the old elder.
After lunch, I decided to leave. After all, I had stayed at Uncle Li's house for so many days, which had added a lot of trouble to his schedule.
I plan to send Ah Tong back to the Taoist temple first, then go to a place whose name I don't know. Anyway, everyone in our village calls it Big City, which is the place I want to go the most in my life and the place that Zhou Ling wants to go the most.
After I finished packing up, I planned to leave the village. Uncle Li and Sis Li accompanied me to the village entrance. I originally wanted to bid farewell to the old Village Head, but I gave up on that idea.
After walking for less than five minutes, someone called out my name from behind me. After calling my name several times, I turned around and realized that it was the 'All Things' manual.
He came up and slapped me on the back of the head, and he also carried his luggage. I could probably guess what the kid was thinking.
"Say, are you really that loyal? Even if you want to leave, you still can't tell me. If it wasn't for others telling me, I would have let you leave just like that."
I pretended not to know and asked him if the big bag he was carrying was for me on the way, and he hugged me.
I want to f * cking go with you. After what happened yesterday, I realized that I still don't know enough things, only things from the village. I'm not worthy of the title 'All Things'.
I called him Liu Siguo and ran off with Ah Tong in my arms. He was so angry that his face turned green. He immediately ran after me.
If he followed the same route, it would probably take him about a week to return to Clear Heart Monastery. Siguo Guo just so happened to know that there was a cave, which was the short road leading outside from the back mountain. However, the cave was a bit deep, so he didn't go in by himself.
In order to save time, I felt that I could try it. If I went back the way I came, I would have to pass through the cemetery. I didn't know what I would feel if I saw my grandma again, so it would be better if I didn't see her.
He led me to the cave, which was so dark that even a kerosene lamp could not see what was going on inside, and I asked Pepsi if he wanted to go in.
He seemed to be afraid of nothing now. He led the way in and said I was timid: there was nothing in it anyway, what was there to be afraid of?
After he went in, I followed him. This cave was especially moist. From time to time, water would drip onto my head or my neck. It was especially cold.
Ah Tong leaned on my back and looked around. He let Pepsi walk behind me because he was afraid.
The more we walked in, the more spacious the space became. I kept having the feeling that something was at the top, holding a kerosene lamp, looking at the ceiling, and there were so many bats hanging upside down. It was the first time I had ever seen this kind of scene.
All the bats started flapping their wings. I quickly got down and protected Ah Tong in my arms. The bats grazed past my scalp and flew out of the cave.
The escape lasted for half a minute. I squatted down and didn't even dare to open my eyes. It was finally over. I asked Hundred FAres what the hell was going on. We could definitely sneak over, but we had to create a big commotion.
He said he didn't know why, but he felt like there was a child on his back.
"Are you imagining things? Ah Tong is lying on my back, who was it that was lying on your shoulder just now? Is it a bat?" After I scolded him, I made him turn around and show me his back.
There was nothing. He must have felt wrong. He was so shocked that he almost scared me to death.
When I turned back, the kerosene lamp flickered, and I vaguely saw a child running by in front of me. He wiped his eyes, but there was nothing there.
