Chapter 143
Hearing this, Cheng Hao nodded and said: "This matter is not difficult for me. In everyone's mind, they want to run forward hard and hope that tomorrow will be better.
There is nothing wrong with this positive attitude, but what you need to understand is that although the big cities outside are very prosperous and beautiful, it also means that you have to face greater temptations and risks.
Of course, I am not saying that the cities outside are bad, I am just telling you objectively and comprehensively that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and good things must be accompanied by bad things.
If you go to a big city, I don't know what you will become in the future... It may help you, or it may harm you...
Well, don't make a decision easily. I'll give you one day to think about it. Of course, if you can, can you draw a portrait of the person who bought the incense burner for me? It would be best if you could tell me his name.
"
The village chief frowned after hearing Cheng Hao's words. He smoked a cigarette and thought carefully about what Cheng Hao said.
Of course, what Cheng Hao said is not unreasonable. Just like today, many people in the mountains hope to get out of the mountains and strive for a better life outside.
As a result, countless old people and left-behind children were left behind, as well as increasingly deserted fields. Moreover, many of these people who left the mountains lost themselves in the bustling cities. They began to become greedy for prosperity, and at the same time
I also hate my parents. Why are they not rich? It would be great to be a rich second generation and enjoy the modern and beautiful city.
There are other people who are also obsessed with the city, and then spend money like water, but they can't make any money. Over time, under the temptation of desire, they gradually embark on a path of no return!
There are many more people, because it is difficult to make money and life is hard, and under the temptation of some criminals, they start taking drugs, selling drugs and other illegal crimes. Some of these people should be imprisoned, and the rest are in their hometowns.
Old parents who have no sons to support them, and young (harmonious) children who have no parents to support them...
Of course, the village chief's family would not be willing to do this, but who can guarantee that this beautiful little girl will enter a city like a big dye vat... No one knows whether she will become a piece of jade in the future or a pile of rot.
The sludge…
The village chief obviously understood what Cheng Hao meant. At this moment, he was smoking heavily, lowering his head and thinking carefully. Even Cheng Hao smiled and said goodbye to them, but he didn't react.
Cheng Hao left the inner room and asked the old men in the outer room about the person who bought the incense burner for a while. Basically, they didn't know much, but there were some details that caught Cheng Hao's attention.
For example, that person's accent sounds like someone from Jiangsu Province. He is very strong, carries a big travel bag, and goes up the mountain without even breathing...
Cheng Hao eventually gave them part of the money. After all, it was not easy to live in this barren place.
Perhaps they saw that Cheng Hao seemed to be a wealthy man, so they all wanted to invite Cheng Hao to their home in the evening, etc., but Cheng Hao rejected them one by one. Of course, they also rejected the village chief's invitation to stay, and then took advantage of the opportunity.
It was still dark, so we walked towards the top of the mountain.
In fact, he also wanted to see if there were any other missing clues in the collapsed temple. After all, if such a magical incense burner can appear, then this temple is not simple!
The mountain is getting steeper and steeper, and it is getting harder and harder to walk, but there is no way to stop Cheng Hao.
Just about to get lucky
Cheng Hao, who summoned his spiritual power and rushed upward, stopped suddenly in his steps and turned his head to look behind him.
After a while, a little head with snow-white fur rabbit ear protection emerged from behind a stone, showing a sweet smile to Cheng Hao: "Hello, big brother, I was afraid that you couldn't find the temple, so I ran away secretly.
Out."
Cheng Hao was stunned and thought to himself: "If your father finds out that you are gone, he will probably suspect that you were kidnapped by me."
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao said: "No need, little sister, it's getting dark now, it's dangerous outside, and with such a steep mountain, it would be bad if something happens."
The little girl immediately pouted and said, "You adults are used to using your own thinking to impose it on us children, huh!"
Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this little girl seemed to have a big prejudice against her parents, but then he thought that she might be in the rebellious period of adolescence.
After thinking about it, Cheng Hao turned around and walked up to his daughter. Looking at her little face that was red from the cold, he couldn't help but said: "Don't you feel cold? Your face is red from the cold. If you catch a cold, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
."
The little girl shook her head and said pitifully: "I'm not cold, brother, I also want to see that temple. Since it collapsed, I haven't been up there since."
Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, and a hint of pity rose up in his heart. He couldn't help but soften a little, and said, "You used to come up to the temple to play, right?"
The little girl immediately nodded her head, and seemed a little excited as she took two steps towards Cheng Hao and said: "There are only a few people in our village, they are about the same age as me, and there are no friends to play with.
When I entered primary school, my father sent me to the town and I could only come back during the holidays. At that time, I felt lonely, so I often went to the temple on the top of the mountain to play alone.
It wasn't until the temple collapsed that my father never let me come up again, saying he was afraid of encountering something unclean. Now my father is thinking of sending me to school in a big city, and I don't know what happened after I left here.
When I can come back... I just hope I can go up and take a last look!"
Cheng Hao was stunned. Could it be that this temple was still suppressing some demons and ghosts? Others might not believe it, but it was impossible for Cheng Hao not to believe it now.
Then he bent down and said with a smile: "Okay, then brother will fulfill your wish today and take you to see it above."
The little girl suddenly beamed with joy and trotted forward, as if there was something on the top of the mountain that she couldn't let go of.
The road up the mountain was steep and rugged, and at the same time, Cheng Hao secretly felt sorry for this little girl. She was in her youth, and she should have played happily with her peers, but because of loneliness, she had to climb such a high mountain and leave that little girl alone.
Temple as your partner...
After all, they were babies raised in the mountains, and their physical strength was not limited. After a while, the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain.
It is said to be the top of the mountain, but it is actually just a relatively flat place. Behind it, there is another higher mountain, which is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles.
In the open space here, there is only a mound in the middle, and there are some broken tiles and bricks scattered around. The mound is also covered with withered weeds at the moment. It is hard to imagine that this place once was.
There once existed an ancient temple.
On the way up the mountain just now, Cheng Hao asked this
The little girl, her name is Li Xiaowan, and her nickname is Yaya.
Yaya stared at this scene dumbfounded. The scene in front of her was really hard for her to accept. Originally, she had heard her father describe the scene here, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she felt so heartbroken and sad.
It instantly filled her little heart.
Perhaps as the only "partner" I relied on to play when I was young, it turned out to be like this. What kind of pain will it be to feel sad!
Tears appeared in Yaya's eyes in an instant. Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Yaya quickly came to the mound and looked at all this with a distressed look. Unknowingly, the tears had already fallen.
Cheng Hao also came to the mound at the first time. Although Cheng Hao had already observed the surrounding environment when he came up, there were no so-called dirty things, that is, undead, around. But there was no guarantee what would be underneath the temple.
, also afraid that something unexpected might happen to Yaya.
Fortunately, Cheng Hao was overly worried. No strange things or smells were detected under the mound. It was obviously calm and normal.
Faintly, Cheng Hao frowned slightly. Who would build a temple in this barren mountain? Could it be that he was an outsider?
Cheng Hao couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment carefully. Whether it was geographically or feng shui, there seemed to be no mystery at all. It was just ordinary.
Involuntarily, Cheng Hao also believed it. Could it be that the strange incense burner was temporarily placed here by a certain expert, but something happened later and the incense burner was not retrieved, so it has been passed down to this day?
Shaking his head, Cheng Hao casually picked up a branch from the ground. While walking around the mound, he turned over it casually, poking at the soil, bricks and other things here. He inadvertently raised his head and saw a pout on his face.
Yaya, who was unhappy, wanted to enlighten her, and then said:
"Yaya, you have been playing here since you were a child. Do you know which deity was originally enshrined in this temple?"
Yaya, who was originally immersed in sadness, was suddenly brought out by Cheng Hao. She shook her head and said: "I don't know. I only remember the statue in the temple before. Only half of the body was left, and there was no ranking. But
…”
"But what?" Cheng Hao noticed that Yaya's last tone seemed to know something, so he couldn't help but ask.
Yaya scratched her head and accidentally took off the ear protection she was wearing, almost falling to the ground. She quickly put it back on and said:
"I remember when I was a child, it seemed that my grandma, when she was telling me stories to coax me to sleep at night, she mentioned that it was some kind of princess temple. Anyway, it was a long time ago. It was a long time ago, so I don't know if it was true or not.
"
Cheng Hao was stunned and then asked: "What about your grandma? Where is she now?"
Yaya's expression suddenly darkened, she lowered her head and said, "Yaya passed away when she was five years old..."
"Uh...I'm sorry, I accidentally touched your heart." Cheng Hao immediately apologized to her.
Yaya waved her hands quickly and said: "Brother, you are too polite. Are all you city people like this? I feel like you have to say sorry for everything you do."
Cheng Hao was stunned and couldn't help but feel like laughing. But he didn't want to laugh at Yaya, but he felt that what she said was right. The harm to others had already been caused, and the three words "I'm sorry" could not make up for the harm to others.
