- Rin agreed, and the old man wearing reading glasses led the two into the house.
There is nothing special about the interior of Sanhe Courtyard. Excluding the counter on the first floor, there is only a small living room. There was nothing but a few chairs. The old man pointed to the wooden door on the inside of the living room: "If you have nothing to do, don't go in here. There is nothing interesting except the old bedroom and the kitchen. There are also bathrooms and rooms."
¡°Follow me,¡± the old man¡¯s steps were slow but steady.
He led the way, holding on to the slightly old handrail and walking up the stairs on one side:
Through a somewhat dim corridor, the old man took Xiao Lin and the two of them to a room at the end of the corridor. The room was not very good and the facilities were not complete. There was no TV, air conditioning or the like. But it can be seen from the neatly stacked quilts and spotless floors that this room has been cleaned before.
"You live in this room. Here is the key. No one has lived here before. If you are afraid of getting dirty, you can clean it up yourself I will bring dinner when it's time." The old man gave the key and ignored the two of them. Walk downstairs slowly.
"Hehe, this hotel will definitely close down" Mo Li whispered after the old man walked downstairs.
"Okay, okay, let's clean it up."
The room was very clean. I left the window for ventilation, and then lay down on the bed. .
"Sister Lin, why did you agree to that old man and ask us to help, but he didn't say anything. If it was too troublesome, it would be delayed for a few more daysah, this is a waste of work~~" Lying on the quilt , Xiaoli rolled around like a little kitten.
In response to Xiaoli¡¯s question, Lin did not answer. Instead, she asked, ¡°What do Xiaoli think of this town?¡±
"Don't you think the environment of this town is very good, the buildings and scenery are all beautiful."
Standing by the window, Rin looked out the window.
There are villa-style buildings along the spacious and clean streets.
Carved railings and jade pillars, each fence is carved with exquisite patterns, and every brick and tile is inscribed with blessings.
There are many flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road.
Rhododendrons are blooming and roses are in bud.
To the north of the town, there is a small stream passing through the town. The water is clear and gleaming in the sun.
It all seems like a European pastoral carefully decorated by God, with a touch of luxury in leisure.
Speaking of which, this is truly a paradise-like scenery.
But.
This paradise seems a bit lonely, with few people seen on the spacious streets.
There are no hawkers on the roadside, no children playing, and no vehicles.
¡°It¡¯s too quiet for a small town.
It lacks the hustle and bustle of a small town.
"Well, this town is very beautiful. When I first arrived here, I thought I was in the wrong place. The person who came to the office didn't say it was so beautiful. Didn't it say it was just an ordinary town?" Xiaoli stopped here and began to recall the things that made her angry and confused today: "Rin, don't you think this town is weird?"
Early this morning, she and Xiao Lin got off the car without stopping and went straight to this small town. Around seven o'clock, the two of them came here. According to the usual procedure, the two of them should meet the client as soon as they arrived in the town, but what puzzled Li Li was that Rin did not do so.
Rin separated from her, and she looked for a hotel to stay in to solve their housing problem.
Rin left alone and came to the road he passed when entering the town.
Xiao Li found many people on the street to ask for directions, but when those people saw the way she was dressed, they would look at her with disgust. No matter adults or children, they looked at her with such disgust no, it could even be said to be hatred!
Why?
Something that makes absolutely no sense?
But that¡¯s the truth.
There are no inns or hotels in this small town that provide accommodation for outsiders.
At that time, Xiaoli wanted to find a family to stay at for a few nights, but the answer he received was always negative.
"It's so exclusive. People in this town don't even look down upon me when they see me." Xiaoli said in a low voice.
"Well, it's very exclusive. I asked a few people for directions on the way back, but just like you, they were all rejected." Rin leaned against the window. She quietly looked at the few pedestrians outside the window. When they His eyes swept across the hotel, as if looking at the air, and he turned a blind eye and walked away.
"It's interesting~ Don't you think it's interesting, Xiao Li?"
"No, I'm bored to death. Please investigate and go home."??, although this town is beautiful, I don't like it. "
¡¡¡¡
Rin decided to go find the person in charge of this town in the middle of the night. Some information was still needed.
Now?
have a rest.
At noon, when the two were about to go out for lunch, the old man brought lunch in.
? Two nights of simple white rice and a pair of poached eggs per person.
Xiaoli looked at this simple meal and felt that he was not very hungry anymore. .
Speaking of which, Mo Li had not eaten such a simple meal for a long, long time since she came to the Secretariat. When Rin was in the office, except for the occasional snacks that she would go out to eat, she would always cook by herself. Rin's cooking skills were definitely the best. Xiao Yin will also prepare food when Rin is away. Although she is not as good as Rin, she is getting better and better.
After Xiao Yin left, Xiao Li would go directly to a familiar restaurant to eat if Lin was not around. .
Hehe, Xiaoli can¡¯t learn cooking at all~
The old man didn¡¯t seem to have much confidence in the food he had prepared. He said slowly: ¡°Just make do with it. You don¡¯t have to go out, there¡¯s no other restaurant in this town.¡±
"I see, it's really a strange town~" Rin shook her head and took the lunch from the old man's hand. , A very simple lunch, although not rich but still plenty. But judging from Lin's experience in cooking for many years, these poached eggs are definitely overcooked, which cannot be tolerated. . .
After the two of them finished eating, the old man who had been waiting next to them finally spoke.
"Please find someone for me."
"Tell me the details."
Hearing this, the old man began to speak slowly.
The person the old man is looking for lives in the temple and is a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.
¡¡¡¡
After listening quietly to what the old man said, Xiao Lin sorted out the information he heard
The original Ditan Town was a very peaceful town, like a clear sky, so clean that there was no flaw at all.
It is transparent and clear, just like the creek. You can see the stones at the bottom of the river bed at a glance.
Nothing unusual happens here, so it¡¯s peaceful. There aren't too many smiles on people's faces, but there aren't too many tears either. There was no special joy, nor too much sadness. Everyone was happy and peaceful, walking into the distance along a predetermined destiny track.
The town is not big, with only about four to five hundred people.
It is said that it was prosperous for a period of time a long time ago, but then declined due to some unknown reasons Of course, it was only the number of people here that declined. Unique buildings, neat streets, and villa-like buildings all developed rapidly with countless dollars.
There is a small temple on the east side of the town. Legend has it that it is a feudal legacy passed down from the town a long time ago.
There are several families in a small temple. From the past, they have believed in Ksitigarbha's teachings for generations and have helped others seriously and selflessly. They believe in the reincarnation of cause and effect, and that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil. Overflowing with smiles, they gave the highest courtesy to everyone who came to the small temple to pray.
Not despising because of poverty, not flattering because of wealth, just following ancient customs and treating people with calm courtesy.
The temple has been around since ancient times and stands peacefully on a hillside in the east of the town.
Thirty years ago, the old people in Ksitigarbha Temple died one after another. It is said that the people there were suffering from strange diseases.
In the end, all the old people in Ksitigarbha Temple died, leaving only a little girl.
It was during that time that the town¡¯s government decided to build roads. They felt that the original road was too cumbersome and detoured. It was decided to dig a road around that temple. Due to construction, this useless temple was demolished!
But due to various behind-the-scenes operations, a notice came down to demolish the small temple.
With a demolition fee, the little girl was evicted.
In September of that year, the highway was completed and the Ksitigarbha Temple was demolished.
The temple that was originally suppressed at the highest point of the town disappeared, leaving only ruins.
Broken wooden boards, scattered bricks and tiles, somehow, the dilapidated ruins have survived.
The little girl disappeared too!
"Grandpa, why don't you just call the police? Why are you looking for us?" After listening for a long time, Xiaoli finally couldn't help but speak. She packed up the tableware she had finished and handed it to the old man who was about to go out. "Besides, thirty years have passed maybe she has left long ago." Xiaoli originally wanted to die, but thought about it and didn't. come out.
The old man adjusted his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a subtle light shining in his dim eyes.
Is that an expectation?
He smiled faintly, looked at Xiaoli who looked worried and said, "I feel it, that child is still in the town. I remember her voice, she has been whispering in my ear recently I also know that ordinary people can't find her, but you are heavenly masters, so you should be able to find her."
"" Xiaoli stopped talking. He looked at the old man who turned to leave, and then at Rin who was silent next to him from beginning to end. He asked in a low voice: "Rin, that girlis she dead?"
"It should be so, who knows." Rin looked out the window in a daze, thinking in her heart.
Thinking about this town, thinking about this commission, and thinking about the several clients.
She has almost completed her first commission, what next? - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
