Shuiyue asked me to decide early whether we should leave here or help the people here. After thinking about it, I decided not to wade into this muddy water. It’s not that I don’t have sympathy, but what I experienced before made me understand that in everything, we must do our best.
Well, we have so many people here this time, no one can afford it if something happens.
Shuiyue also agreed with my idea, but when I asked to leave, except for Liu Qingping who reluctantly agreed, everyone else decided to stay here for two more days. Some people even said bluntly, this is a big case and we need to
Based on the lofty ideological consciousness and compassion of the great young people of socialism, we should clarify this matter and bring peace to the world.
Shit, I was so angry that I wanted to curse. I really wanted to leave and let these whimsical young ladies and young men work here. But in the end, I stayed. I never thought that I was a savior, I just wanted to reduce the number of people.
their trouble.
In fact, the main reason is that I will not leave without Shui Yue, and I have full confidence in her. In terms of skill, no one can match her, and in terms of knowledge and wisdom, she has been under the guidance of Shui Ling himself.
She is stronger than everyone else, and having her by your side will make people feel safe.
Thinking about it, I laughed a little at myself. In terms of age, each of us is much older than her. She is just a little girl who is not yet twenty years old, but she makes me, an old man who is almost thirty years old, feel like
The feeling of dependence is very strange.
There is no way. Rats are born to make holes, but if a rat teaches a dragon, the results will be completely different. It's all because the old man put me in a free-range state since I was a child.
It is a very embarrassing state to know a little bit but understand nothing.
A group of people gathered together and held a meeting, each expressing their opinions and discussing the various mysteries of this evil incident. Everyone agreed that this incident was man-made. Today's technology is very advanced. With modern tools, it can be opened silently.
The door. The time of committing the crime should be around three o'clock in the morning, because that is when people are most asleep and least alert. The method of committing the crime is like a thief breaking into a house. He uses modern tools to open the door and then takes away the sleeping person.
baby.
Needless to say, these people still have some brains. After all, they are all highly educated and their logic is not bad. If this was a normal man-made case, I would think they are right.
But Shuiyue is right. If it is man-made, it is impossible for this village to lose its children. Liu Yingying said that there are no other villages around this village for seven or eight miles, and she has never heard of children missing in other places.
This basically rules out the possibility of someone committing the crime.
Or my experience is too shallow, I haven’t considered the surrounding factors, and my thoughts are just limited to this small place.
I left the crowd and wandered around the village alone, hoping to find some clues. When I walked to a corner of the village, I suddenly saw Liu Yingying's father-in-law squatting under a big tree with some small stones in his hands.
Don't know what you are doing.
I walked over and took a look and found that he seemed to be playing chess, but the chessboard was very weird. It was a square and a rhombus connected together. The old man was holding stones in his hands and kept moving them, but after watching it for a long time, I didn’t notice.
Understand.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, what kind of chess are you playing?"
The old man glanced at me, put a finger up to his mouth, and said in a serious voice: "Hush, you are a true gentleman watching chess without saying a word. Don't say it, don't say it, there is a war here, there is a war." After that, he continued.
Playing with it, he muttered: "The ones here are 'sticking to the rules' and the ones here are 'playing tricks'. The fight is really fierce!"
I frowned and suddenly remembered something, and I immediately understood what it was. It was about the story of Mozi and Lu Ban. Everyone knows that Lu Ban is a skilled craftsman. The tools he invented not only serve the majority of people, but also are widely used.
For war, such as "Rejecting Gou" and "Ladder" etc.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State was unable to attack the Yue State for a long time, and it was with the help of Lu Ban that it conquered the Yue State. Later, the Chu State wanted to attack the Song State again, so Lu Ban built a large number of siege equipment. Later, Mozi
After getting the news, he walked for ten days to the capital of Chu State, and conducted an offensive and defensive drill with Lu Ban in front of the King of Chu in the main hall of Chu State. Lu Ban tried to attack the city nine times, and Mozi also blocked it nine times. Later,
Lu Ban's methods had been exhausted, but Mozi still had ways to defend the city. The King of Chu felt unsure, so he gave up attacking Song.
Later, both of them retired. It is said that Lu Ban was very upset about that failure and often consulted with Mozi. For this reason, the two invented a kind of chess, which is this kind of chess board. One side only attacks and the other side is exhausted.
Defend, and Mozi never lost. But for some reason, this chessboard and the way of playing chess were lost, and they have not been found until now.
I don’t know where this old man learned it from. I was surprised when I saw it, so I asked the old man to teach me. Although the old man was a bit arrogant, he was very knowledgeable and told me without reservation. But I didn’t know that it was because I was too young.
Stupid, this thing is still too complicated, I haven't figured it out for a long time.
It’s really frustrating. A nervous old man can learn it but I can’t. What else can I say?
The old man grinned, revealing a pair of black and yellow teeth. "This is a secret from Heaven. You must not reveal the secret, or you will be punished by God."
I curled my lips and was about to leave when the old man began to murmur again: "Lu Ban and Mozi are both immortals who descended to earth to spread ecstasy. When the two immortals fought to spread ecstasy, they used the Book of Heaven! Later, the Book of Heaven was lost and was
Ying Zheng stole it and snatched away other people's things. What a bad old man. But where is the Heavenly Book? Why is it gone again? Xiao Liu Che started to look for it, oh, it turned out to be with the King of Shu.
Xiao Liu Che said, "Give it to me." The King of Shu said, "I won't give it to you." Xiao Liu Che said again, "If you don't give it to me, I will beat you." The King of Shu said, "You go ahead, I have the Book of Heaven. But Xiao Liu Che said
Liu Che is also a god who has descended to earth, and the old monster Dongfang is helping him, but the King of Shu cannot defeat him. What should I do? Just run! Run, run, run. Huh? Where is this? Oh, it turns out to be a ghost town.
Then I went to the ghost palace to hide. Xiao Liuche couldn't find it, so he asked the old monster from the East, where is the King of Shu? The old monster said, "It's in the ghost palace." Xiao Liuche asked again, where is the Book of Heaven? The old monster said again,
It's in the Ghost Palace. Xiao Liuche asked again, can he find it back? The old monster said again that he can't find it back. There are thousands of ghosts in power there and there are Yin soldiers guarding him. It's hard to get through..."
Although the words are a bit strange, I can still understand the content. There are a few main characters, Lu Ban, Mozi, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the ancient Shu King and Dongfang Shuo. The "Book of Heaven" in the words is probably studied by Lu Ban and Mozi
The methods and tools for attacking and defending cities.
The general meaning is that Lu Ban and Mozi recorded the methods they developed for war. Later, Qin Shihuang obtained it and used the methods they developed to unify the six countries. Later, he disappeared again for unknown reasons. Until
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he suddenly remembered this thing, so he sent people to search for it, and finally found that it was in the hands of the ancient King of Shu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to get it back, but the ancient King of Shu refused to give it, and relied on the fact that there was a book from heaven.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was angry and sent troops to the ancient Shu Kingdom. During that period, the Han Dynasty's national power reached its peak. How could the ancient Shu Kingdom, a small country, be the opponent of the Han Dynasty?
When the ancient Shu Kingdom was defeated, the ancient Shu king fled with his remnants and later came to the vicinity of Fengdu. There are some records about this in history. After the ancient Shu king fled to Fengdu, he disappeared overnight.
No one knows where it is. Because of this, Fengdu Ghost City gradually formed. Some people say that there is a real ghost city under Fengdu, and the ancient Shu king hid in the ghost palace with his remnants.
Of course, the "heavenly book" also disappeared.
I heard what the old man said was very interesting, so I couldn't help but ask him: "Uncle, is there really a ghost town?"
The old man raised a finger to his mouth again: "Shh, they will hear it. Don't say anything, don't say anything. They are near us."
I smiled and shook my head, turned around and left. When I returned to Liu Yingying's house, I found that no one was there anymore. Only the old lady was sitting in the yard watering the vegetables. When she saw me coming back, she smiled and put down what she was doing.
Come over here.
"Is it Xiao Wang?"
I nodded and asked her if there was anything wrong. The old lady smiled again, then reached out and grabbed me, dragging me to a small room next to her. "Come here, come here, I want to tell you something."
I was confused, but I still followed her into the room. The old lady closed the door, then pulled me to sit down at the wooden table in the room, and poured me a glass of water. Then she said: "Xiao Wang, look at our home.
well enough?"
My heart moved, and I guessed the meaning of the old lady's first words. Her face remained calm, she nodded and said, "Okay, she is very virtuous and beautiful, and she can also take care of the house."
"Hey, this kid is good at everything, but his life is too hard. His parents died just after he graduated. Originally, when Yueyang was doing well, my family's life was pretty good. Ever since something happened to Yueyang and the kid, life has never been better.
Have a peaceful life. Although she doesn't say it, how can I not know the pain in her heart. She has been wronged a lot in the past few years. She has to run the house during the day and serve her husband and children at night. It is really difficult for her.
I don’t understand the deep truth about the old lady. I just feel that our family owes her a lot. People’s hearts are full of flesh. I feel sorry for the old lady! I have always regarded her as my daughter.
It’s uncomfortable too!”
I nodded and said, "Then, madam, what do you mean by calling me here?"
"Well, aunt, I just want to ask you for help. When you leave, can you take her with you? The child is not young anymore. It will be too late if you delay any longer. As long as she can live a good life, aunt, I will die.
