Lai Wang wandered around the mountain col, but couldn't think of a place to go. But it started to rain in the sky. Lai Wang covered his head with his hands and ran desperately to the house on the mountain col.
The rain that was originally thought to be stagnant turned out to be getting heavier and heavier. In the end, it was pouring heavily, and there seemed to be continuous thunder in the sky. Thunder was rare in this winter.
When Lai Wang heard the thunder, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "What I said today is too hurtful. Is God going to strike me with thunder?"
While thinking about it, I ran like a mad dog, but it was all in vain. When I ran to the door of the house, I had already been drenched to the point that not a single thread of yarn was dry. There was a pocket of water in my underwear, and the birds were all there.
Scratching in the water.
"What a fucking thief! It doesn't rain in the morning or in the evening. It starts raining when I can't go to the village or shop!" Lai Wang simply stopped and raised his head to face the pouring rain.
He touched his crotch and made a very obscene movement.
Suddenly, a bolt of thunder and lightning, like a bright tree root, struck head-on. In an instant, the sky and the earth were illuminated white.
"My dear mother!" Lai Wang was so shocked that his feet softened and he sat down in the muddy water.
The lightning did not hit Lai Wang's head, but there seemed to be a crackling sound on the house. Lai Wang's head buzzed, but he was pleasantly surprised to find that he was unscathed. He no longer dared to curse God, and rolled over.
It is easy to enter the front door of your home.
Laifu came up to him, wagging his head and tail constantly, but keeping a safe distance. He even rubbed his head against a big hen lying aside.
It turned out that Lai Wang was shivering a little from the cold, and suddenly he felt hot and his eyes were looking around, trying to find a stick.
"You're a prodigal thing. Are you really going to kill me?"
Laifu was so frightened that he ducked aside, but still nuzzled the old hen. Only then did Laiwang realize that the old hen seemed different from domestic chickens, because he saw that the feathers on the hen's butt seemed to be thicker than domestic chickens.
It's grown a lot. The head of this chicken doesn't look like an ordinary chicken. Well, isn't this a pheasant?
Laiwang was overjoyed, walked over, picked up the pheasant, and said with a smile, "You did a good job this time, I will give you a chicken leg as a reward tonight!"
"Woof woof!" Laifu yelled hastily.
Laifu thought that Laiwang was a little dissatisfied with his allocation, so he laughed and said, "If one is too little, then two. Two chicken legs take up almost half of it, so you can't be greedy anymore!"
"Woof woof!" Laifu seemed to be even more anxious.
"Hey, you prodigal thing, I have made such a big concession, and you are still not satisfied. Do you believe it, I will kill you and eat dog meat?" Lai Wang felt that three kind words were not as good as a horse.
Lai Wang's threat not only did not frighten Lai Wang, but instead made Lai Fu anxious. He jumped up behind Lai Wang and bit him hard. Before Lai Wang could fight back, he jumped down and jumped out of the house.
Lai Wang didn't even have time to put down the pheasant, so he chased it out. Lai Fu dove into the rain and ran farther and farther without looking back. Lai Wang chased after him without thinking.
Lai Wang had not taken three steps out of the house when he heard a loud bang behind him. He stopped suddenly and looked back. He was shocked to find that his dilapidated old house had collapsed in the wind and rain.
Lai Wang was so frightened that he could hardly stand still. He thought that if he were not such a prodigal dog, he would not have to bury him today if he died.
It turned out that the huge thunder just now had already shaken the dilapidated house of Laiwang's family. As an animal, Laifu has a very keen sense of danger.
It's the twelfth lunar month, and Lai Wang's whole body has been soaked by the rain, and his body is getting colder and colder. A few days ago, he had an argument with Aunt Guihua, who was closest to him. People in the village began to look at him through colored glasses.
Although Wang has obtained this land, he does not want to ask for sympathy from others.
Lai Wang suddenly remembered that there was a mountain temple behind the house, and he hurriedly ran in that direction. Lai Fu had been standing in the rain watching Lai Wang, and when he saw Lai Wang running towards the mountain temple, he quickly chased after him.
One person and one dog, running out of breath on the muddy and rugged mountain road, finally managed to reach the mountain temple. This is an abandoned mountain temple. The door has long been decayed and leaning against the door frame. It seems that it will be destroyed at any time.
It fell down. Fortunately, the uncles and aunts in the village came several times a year to burn incense and make some repairs. Otherwise, it would have been lying on the ground just like the old house of the Wang family.
The mountain temple was a bit eerie and scary. Lai Wang also followed Lin Chong, the leader of the 800,000 Imperial Army, and bowed to the somewhat tattered statue of the mountain god. "Bodhisattva bless you, I will offer incense to you in the future. I will stay here for one night today."
"Lai Wang couldn't understand the difference between mountain gods and Bodhisattvas. In his impression, everyone in the temple was a Bodhisattva.
I don’t know who put some dry firewood in the mountain temple. Laiwang found some firewood and piled it in the center of the open space in front of the statue. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from the bag. The smoke had already been soaked by the rain.
, but the lighter placed in the cigarette box can still be used. Laiwang was not willing to throw away the cigarette box with a dozen cigarettes left, even though the cigarettes inside were soaked to the point of being wet.
Lai Wang's body was shivering from the cold. He lit the lighter with trembling hands. The dim yellow fire illuminated the dark mountain temple dimly. Fortunately, the firewood in the temple was completely dry, and some small branches were used.
He lit the firewood, and soon there was a blazing fire in front of Lai Wang.
After about an hour, Lai Wang finally felt a little warm from the heat, but the clothes on his body were not completely dry yet, and they still felt a bit sticky when worn. Lai Fu squatted aside and shook the long hair on his body from time to time.
He felt warmth in his body, but hunger also came up. After eating breakfast for most of the day, and after all this tossing, Laiwang's energy had long been exhausted. Fortunately, Laiwang kept eating the pheasant on the way here.
Caught in his hand, this pheasant became Laiwang's only food supply. As for the future, Laiwang didn't bother to think about it.
There was nothing on hand, so it was impossible to cook the pheasant in the conventional way.
Lai Wang ran outside. The rain had not stopped yet, but it had turned into drizzle. Lai Wang braved the rain and grabbed a large ball of yellow mud on the slope on one side. Then he entered the mountain temple again and directly used
Wrap the pheasant tightly in yellow mud, throw it directly into the fire, and use charcoal to pile up the mud ball, like roasting sweet potatoes. After a while, turn the mud ball over.
After more than half an hour, the mud ball exploded, and a strong fragrance filled the mountain temple. Laiwang knew that the pheasant had been roasted, so he used a stick to pick out the mud ball. He did not dare to go directly to it with his hands.
Touch it, because at this time the mud ball has been burned red, and you will definitely get burned if you grab it with your hands.
Laifu had been warming himself by the fire, but his eyes had been staring at the huge mud ball in the fire. At this time, when Lai Wang took out the mud ball, he grunted anxiously and circled around the mud ball, and wanted to stretch out his claws to grab it several times.
, and then shrank back halfway.
Lai Wang ignored Lai Fu and continued to bake his clothes unhurriedly. Looking at Lai Fu's anxious look, Lai Wang finally showed a smile on his face.
After a while, Lai Wang tested it with his hands. The temperature of the mud finally dropped. Although it was still high, it was no longer unbearable.
Laiwang placed the mud ball on the incense stand in front of the statue, and broke open the mud wrapped in it, revealing a shiny pheasant that was exuding heat. The fragrance also hit his face.
Laifu rushed over and barked at Laiwang, expressing extreme indignation at Laiwang for not feeding him immediately. He even had the intention of taking it for himself if he didn't give it to him. Laiwang quickly grabbed Laifu.
"You are a prodigal thing. When I pay respect to the Bodhisattva, your share will be inevitable. This Bodhisattva just smells it, but can he really eat it?" Lai Wang's sincerity only goes so far.
"Woof woof woof!" Laiwang didn't understand what a Bodhisattva was, and if he didn't share the spoils when it was time to do so, he was naturally aggrieved.
Lai Wang's stomach was growling with hunger. He bowed twice in front of the statue, then took down the pheasant placed on the incense stand. He was very trustworthy and at the same time pulled off two pheasant legs from it, and almost went there.
Most of it made Lai Wang feel distressed for a long time.
Laifu directly took the chicken leg away from Laiwang's hand, walked aside with satisfaction, and slowly tasted the pheasant meat.
Although there was no seasoning, and not even a little salt was added, it did not affect Lai Wang's appetite at all. In a short time, Lai Wang had eaten all the chicken, including the chicken bones, if it were not for the fact that there were no internal organs in the chicken.
Cleaning, Laiwang even wants to eat all the internal organs.
Laifu's belly was round after eating, and he rolled on the dusty ground with his round belly to express his joy.
It was getting dark, but the rain had stopped. Lai Wang ran outside and dug out a few bundles of dry straw from the haystacks in the field. He spread a thick bed next to the fire. Although there was no quilt, he felt a lot warmer. Lai Wang
Wang lay down on the ground and put a layer of straw on his body, just like covering him with a quilt.
Laifu quickly got in when Laiwang lay down in the straw pile.
The mountain forest is very quiet at night. In the winter, you can't hear the chirping of animals. Only the cold wind faintly makes the trees roar.
After a while, Lai Wang and Lai Fu fell into a deep sleep, completely forgetting the excitement of escaping from death during the day.
Lai Wang entered the dream in a daze, and there seemed to be an old voice gently calling him in the dream.
"Laiwang. Laiwang."
"Who? Who is calling me?" Lai Wang sat up and looked around.
At this time, a dazzling bright light came from outside the gate of the mountain temple. Laiwang couldn't help but get up and walk out of the temple.
Outside the temple is a vast expanse of white, with no shadow of the woods visible at all, and Zhaojiatun seems to have disappeared from this world.
But in the white light, Lai Wang saw an old man wearing Taoist robes, with flowing white hair, who looked like a god, walking over from a distance.
