I looked at her in surprise, because the words she just said were not her voice at all, but entirely a man's voice: rough and powerful. "Liu Meng, how can you talk like this?"
She laughed, and her voice returned to her real voice, "I used to do activities at school, and it was only when I learned to sing songs from male singers that I realized that my voice could become like this. So, what happened?
None of it is impossible.”
I shook my head and said, "Forget it, don't interfere in other people's private affairs. But I probably saw it wrong today. The monk I saw might be this woman."
She shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Since her voice can be pretended to be that of a man, it's not impossible to change her appearance into something else by dressing up."
I was shocked: what she said was not impossible.
"You drive. I want to make a phone call." So I said to Liu Meng immediately.
She asked me: "Where are we going now?"
I said: "Let's drive out of the city. This time we can go around for a while."
She said: "There is an ancient town about 40 to 50 kilometers further from here. We can go there too, lest they come to you again in an emergency."
I nodded and said, "Okay. It would be good to live in an ancient town."
She said: "Feng Xiao, I really want to live with you for a while as husband and wife."
My heart suddenly warmed up, "I also want to do that. However, I really can't let go of things at home. Chen Yuan and the children."
"Just leave the phone on and they will call you if anything happens," she said.
I nodded, then picked up the phone and called Tong Yao.
After I told her the situation, she said: "It is possible. In this case, I will take people there immediately. But this matter is very troublesome because we have no evidence, so we cannot arrest people casually. Let's go first
Find a way to secretly take a few photos of that person, and then take them to Sun Lulu's mother to identify him. I think she should be able to identify at least part of him from the outline."
I suddenly became worried, "Could it be that we have alarmed her because we went there today?"
She said: "Probably not. Because she didn't expect you to recognize her. I think maybe the abbot let you see her on purpose. It's hard to say."
Hearing what she said, I immediately felt convinced. Yes, how could it be such a coincidence? Did I just happen to meet that person at the abbot's place? But I'm still not sure, because coincidences have happened before, and...
Unless the abbot knew that I was going to him today. This... is so impossible.
But no matter what, I think Liu Meng's suspicion is possible.
In fact, in my heart, I still don’t hope that Liu Meng’s suspicion is true, because I really can’t accept that an abbot with such a profound understanding of Zen can hide evil and evil. I also know that a person who truly understands Buddhism should have true compassion.
Heartbroken. Also, until now, I still can’t imagine why Sun Lulu’s case is related to a place like Kuchan Temple.
No matter what, let Tong Yao handle the rest. I felt a headache, so I stopped thinking about it and just closed my eyes to rest.
I fell asleep quickly. In fact, the fatigue in my body still existed. Once I let go of something in my heart, the fatigue would creep in and flow throughout my body immediately.
Later, it was Liu Meng who woke me up, and when I woke up, I found that it was already dark. I couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Where is this place? Why is it so dark?"
"Is it the ancient town I mentioned?" she answered me with a smile.
I didn’t believe it at all, “Don’t lie to me, it’s already dark now. Didn’t you say that the ancient town is only 40 to 50 kilometers away?”
She smiled and said: "Why should I lie to you? We have been here a long time ago. When we got here, I looked for a place to stay. It is not easy to find a place like that. Then I found one on the edge of this ancient town.
I negotiated a house for two thousand yuan to live there for a month. The place is nice, you can cook your own meals, and the air is good, but it is not the most satisfying to me."
I asked: "So, what makes you most satisfied?"
She smiled and said, "Guess."
I shook my head and said, "How could I guess that?"
She pouted and said, "Feng Xiao, you are not funny at all. You are not romantic at all."
I had to guess, "Is there a vegetable patch in front of the house?"
She shook her head.
I continued to guess, "The house is beautiful? Is it someone else's new house?"
She laughed and said, "Thank you for thinking about it! How can someone rent their new house to us?"
So I smiled bitterly and said, "Then I really can't guess it."
She smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, let me tell you. There is a river behind that house. The water is so clear that I almost couldn't help but take a few sips of the water in it."
I said in surprise: "Really? Then take me there quickly."
She smiled and continued: "You guy! You sleep like a dead pig. I parked the car here, and after I went to negotiate about the house, I came back and found you still sleeping. So I didn't wake you up.
Let you continue sleeping. You are so funny, and you asked me where this place is, do you think we have gone a long way?"
I smiled sheepishly, "I'm too tired, but I feel comfortable now. Let's go there. By the way, why don't you drive the car there?"
She said: "At the beginning, I didn't know where to find a house. And I thought that if people saw us driving, they would definitely charge a lot of money."
I said, "For such a small place, the rent of two thousand a month is not low."
She said: "We are not renting for a year or longer. If we only rent for one month, it will definitely be higher."
I understood immediately, "Actually, two thousand is not expensive. At least it's more cost-effective than staying in a hotel. And staying in a hotel doesn't have so much fun."
She said, "That's right. Let's go and have a look. Then we'll find a place to eat. I'm in a very happy mood today, and we can have some drinks."
Immediately, she drove forward. In fact, we were already in the town. I saw the outline of the town from the car window. It was indeed an ancient town, because the buildings in front of me were very old, and some
The place can even be called shabby. There are business facades on both sides of the street, but the lights are dim and there are not many pedestrians. In short, this ancient town looks a bit depressed at night.
To be honest, I don't like this atmosphere, because I find myself infected by the depression in front of me, and my heart begins to become depressed.
After crossing this street, turning right and driving for a while, I found that the houses in front of me gradually became sparse, and then Liu Meng drove the car into a courtyard next to the road.
"Here we are." She said to me with a smile.
I looked at the dark, low-rise house in front of me, and my heart had already turned cold, "Is this a place like this?"
"What's wrong? This place is really nice." She said, and then she changed the direction of the car, and the car lights immediately illuminated the house. I immediately saw clearly that it was a bungalow, and next to it
There is also a small side house. The bungalow is made of adobe bricks. It looks very old, but it doesn't give me a shabby feeling. However, this place is too clean and clean, which makes me feel desolate, so I actually don't like it very much in my heart.
It was a good place, but I didn’t want to spoil Liu Meng’s interest, so I said, “Not bad.”
She immediately became happy, "I said yes. I know you will like it."
I smiled bitterly in my heart and followed her out of the car, and she went to open the door. I asked her in surprise: "Didn't you pay the money yet? Why did I give you the key?"
She turned around and asked me with a smile: "Did I say I didn't pay?"
I said, "Oh, so you've already paid." Then I asked her to hand me the key, then went to the trunk of the car and took out a wad of money from the satchel I put there.
Come on. I put 20,000 yuan in my satchel, mainly to prepare for emergencies. Now I am secretly glad that I did not carry this satchel when I went to the abbot’s place today, otherwise I would probably have been impulsive.
I donated all the money to the temple.
After locking the car door, she ran towards Liu Meng. When I went to the car just now, she had been standing there looking at me. Now, when she saw the money in my hand, she asked me: "Feng Xiao, go and get it."
What’s the money for?”
I said, "Shall I give you the money? You don't have much cash with you, do you?"
She immediately became angry, "Feng Xiao, you are annoying! Isn't it just two thousand yuan?"
Only then did I feel that I had gone too far, so I said calmly: "It's okay, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. Let's spend half of the money as a family. Anyway, we will have to spend money here in the future, right?"
She was still angry, "Ignore you!" Then she opened the door and turned on the light.
I followed her with a flattering smile, then entered the room and found that there was a bed, a red wardrobe, and a wicker chair. Apart from that, there was nothing else. But the bed looked like
It does look relatively clean.
Liu Meng was also looking at the bed, "The owner of this house is really nice. He changed the things on the bed to clean ones so quickly."
I said: "Isn't this too simple? By the way, didn't you say you can cook? Where is the cooking place? Where is the river? Where can I see it?"
She smiled and answered me: "The cooking place is next to it. That place is a separate cabin. The river is at the back. Listen, do you hear it? There is the sound of running water."
Only then did I discover that there was a small door on the opposite side of the house, and I did hear the subtle sound of running water. I suddenly felt inexplicably excited, so I hurriedly opened the small door. There was darkness in front of me, but inside the house
The bright light allowed me to see a little sparkling water in the river, and the sound of flowing water suddenly became clear and vivid.
"There is a light here." Liu Meng said next to me, and then he heard a soft "click" sound, and a light outside the house suddenly turned on. It is estimated that the wattage of this light is relatively small, so the light looks very bright.
dim.
But now I can basically see the shape of the river, and I can also see a short stone staircase leading to the river in front of me. (To be continued)
