But this is easy to handle. I will walk around the village for some time. If the village cadre or other villagers ask, I will tell you that you are healed and leave.
In this way, even if the police discover that you have killed someone and find your head, they will not be able to trace it here.
Shi Ji looked at his injured leg, nodded after thinking for a long time, and never mentioned leaving the Lotus Temple again.
Shiji was addicted to smoking. He smoked cigarettes all day long and puffed out smoke.
As the "master", Monk Tian will often appear at various weddings and weddings. According to local customs, families holding weddings and weddings will seal a red envelope and give a cigarette to the invited "master". These cigarettes come in all brands, and some are even imported from Vietnam. The Vietnamese characters written on them made Monk Tian think they were in English.
Therefore, although Shiji never left the house or stepped outside the door, he never stopped smoking cigarettes.
Because the brands of cigarettes were so diverse, the cigarette butts Shi Ji threw under the bed were only part of the cigarettes he had smoked. When Li Zhudao asked Monk Tian what brand of cigarettes he smoked, he couldn't answer.
In the short period after Shi Ji confessed that he had killed someone, Monk Tian was still quite nervous, but the simple and ordinary days were uneventful. After the village cadre returned to the village, he seemed not to mention what he saw at the Lotus Temple at all. However, except for another person named Monk Tian, no one in the village asked Monk Tian who lived in the Lotus Temple.
This made Monk Tian's uneasiness quickly disappear without a trace, and he was content with the status quo.
Lao Liu's sudden visit was like a stone thrown into an ancient well. It quickly broke the peace and made everything uncontrollable.
On the afternoon of the day of the incident, Lao Liu came to Lianhua Temple for lunch again.
Lao Liu's life experience really made people sympathize with him. Monk Tian just let his behavior go as it was, and he had become accustomed to it.
Lao Liu brought his own wine and got himself drunk before finishing the meal. At the wine table, Lao Liu has always been responsible for getting himself drunk.
During this period, Lao Liu claimed that he was here to say farewell to Monk Xiangtian. He said that this was the last time he would drink. He also said that he would go to the city tomorrow to move bricks for others. He was really moving bricks and working hard on the construction site.
He also said that he had never considered doing such hard work before, but he always felt embarrassed, but it was not his own face that was embarrassed, but Xiao Tan's face. Recently, he figured it out. Because Xiao Tan said that men who are willing to bend down and lift bricks for love are the most handsome. There is no doubt that he will be the most handsome man in Xiao Tan's eyes. ap.
Monk Tian murmured nonchalantly, "You used to do odd jobs in these ten miles and eight towns. Wasn't what you did hard work?" Is it possible that someone paid you to sit in the office and have the air conditioner blowing on?
Lao Liu said, you also know that I do odd jobs in these ten miles and eight villages. Lao Tian, you must be able to capture keywords and key information. Where is the place where I move bricks? In the city, this is Xiao Tan's territory. She specializes in decoration, so she will inevitably have to deal with these real estates and construction sites. Do you understand?
Monk Tian said with sleepy eyes, "You've been mumbling for a long time just because you don't want Xiao Tan to see you working hard. Now that she has made it clear that she not only doesn't mind, but also encourages you to go, you think there's nothing to be ashamed of." .
Lao Liu gave Monk Tian a thumbs up and said, Lao Tian, you are worthy of having traveled all over the country and seen the world. You can see through my little thoughts at a glance.
Monk Tian snorted coldly and said, can your face be used as food? The so-called face has never been about what others think of you, but how you think of yourself. If you value the face you don’t have as big as the sky, then you can’t accomplish anything. If you are brave enough, you won't care whether you have any face or not, but you will gain face in the end.
Lao Liu was convinced again and said, I understand what you mean, face is not given by others, it is earned by oneself.
But Monk Tian said, what I mean is that you have no face at all, but you don’t have a clue in your heart, and you are so shameless that you want to save face with Xiao Tan. If Xiao Tan cares about whether you are moving bricks on the construction site, she will not be interested in you when you were still sneaking around.
Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. Tears welled up in his eyes as he laughed, and finally he drank another big gulp of wine.
Monk Tian thought he had said everything Lao Liu wanted to say.
Now, it’s time to go.
Who would have thought that after Lao Liu wiped away his tears, he raised his buttocks and sat next to Monk Tian. He held the wine bottle with one hand and hooked Monk Tian's shoulder with the other. He continued to say, smelling of alcohol, Lao Tian, don't be sad, although I will leave this poor village tomorrow, but I will definitely come back to see you in the future. You must take care of yourself and live to two hundred and five in good health.
I have eaten at your place for such a long time and I remember it all in my heart. In ancient times, Han Xin rewarded the old washerwoman with a meal for her kindness with a thousand pieces of gold. Today, Lao Liu never forgets the kindness of the old monk Lotus. So you have to take care of yourself. When I, Lao Liu, return home rich and prosperous, I will definitely take you home as my wife. Raised by my biological father.
If when I come back to see you after I have made a fortune, you have already kicked off your feet and died, and I can only burn a lot of paper money printed by "Tiandi Bank" on your grave to express my gratitude, then you will have suffered a big loss.
Monk Tian grunted and responded casually. The reason why he had a dark face and was listless and perfunctory was because he wanted Lao Liu to get out as soon as he finished the meal. Shi Ji hadn't eaten yet in the room.
But Monk Tian's unhappy face turned into "reluctant" in the eyes of the "sentimental" Lao Liu.
Lao Liu smelled of wine and talked a lot to himself. Monk Tian couldn't bear it anymore and said, "It's getting late. Come back quickly. I'm old and I'm already sleepy."
But Lao Liu was drunk and Maha said, "I won't go back tonight, so I will sleep in the temple and accompany you well. I will leave here for the city early tomorrow morning."
When Monk Tian heard this, he quickly said no, my small temple only has one bed, and your big Buddha cannot sleep there.
But Lao Liu said, it doesn't matter if we share a bed. At worst, I'll sleep on the bed and you sleep on the floor. If that doesn't work, we can sleep on the same bed.
Monk Tian became even more nervous and shook his head repeatedly, saying no, no, get out of here.
Seeing Monk Tian's resolute attitude, Lao Liu stared at him for a while, but suddenly said, Lao Tian, are you hiding a woman in the room? Otherwise, there would be no reason to drive the guest away.
Monk Tian was speechless and could only put his hands behind his back and said that he had sleepwalking problem and it would be unsafe for you to sleep with me.
Lao Liu laughed and said, Lao Tian, don't you know that once you start talking nonsense, you will pretend to be serious with your hands behind your back? No wonder you looked absent-minded from beginning to end of today's meal. You must have been thinking about the woman hiding in the room.
At the end of the sentence, Lao Liu suddenly got up and walked out again. As he walked, he said, there must be a woman hiding in your room. I want to go and take a look. Don't worry, Lao Tian, I won't tell anyone else. I'm just going to see what she looks like and whether she is someone who will treat you well.
Monk Tian was a step too slow and failed to stop Lao Liu. He could only follow behind and curse, saying, "You little bastard, if you dare to enter my room, I will kill you."
Monk Tian's attitude made Lao Liu firmer in his guess.
Before Lao Liu could push the door open, the door was suddenly opened, and then a person actually walked out of it. But he is a man.
Lao Liu's initial surprise quickly turned into incomprehension. However, under the illumination of lights and moonlight, after seeing the man's appearance clearly, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
So, under the murderous eyes of Shiji in front of him, and the uneasy gaze of Monk Tian behind him, the drunken Lao Liu actually took out a piece of paper, spread it out, and looked at Shiji for a while, and then again. Look at the portrait in your hand.
Finally, Lao Liu laughed, turned around and walked to the yard, stood in front of Monk Tian, patted his shoulder and said, Lao Tian, it turns out that you locked up a fugitive in the room, are you planning to call the police behind my back, alone? Receive a bounty from the police? Don't worry, I'm not a person who is motivated by money...
As soon as he finished speaking, he was struck by an iron rod on the head, and then he fell to the ground softly like a cooked noodle without saying a word.
Monk Tian was startled and hurriedly squatted beside Lao Liu, reaching out to cover Lao Liu's wound. He also didn't expect that Shi Ji would suddenly hurt someone and be so ruthless.
Shi Ji had no intention of letting Lao Liu go. He still stood behind Lao Liu, condescending, holding an iron rod in his hand, and hit Lao Liu on the head like raindrops. Monk Tian couldn't stop him, so he simply lay on Lao Liu, trying to protect him. on his arm
This is how the injuries and the blood stains all over his body came from.
At this time, Xiao Tan suddenly rushed in from outside the hospital. Lao Liu hadn't gone back at this time. Xiao Tan knew that he probably drank too much at Lotus Temple again, so he came to pick him up.
Xiao Tan also wanted to rescue Lao Liu from Shi Ji, but she was no match for Shi Ji.
Monk Tian saw that Shi Ji was already furious. Looking at Xiao Tan who was pushed to the ground by Shi Ji, he couldn't help but trembled and said loudly, "Let's go!"
Only then did Xiao Tan realize that he was in a sheep's mouth. In a panic, Xiao Tan got up and ran towards the back door of the yard. Shi Ji threw away the iron rod and chased after him with one stride.
Monk Tian sat on the ground to take a breath, and finally stood up shakily. Before he had time to check Lao Liu's injury, he also walked towards the back door.
When he arrived at the back door, he saw that Shi Ji had thrown Xiao Tan to the ground and was strangling Xiao Tan's neck with one hand. Xiao Tan clenched his fists and kept beating Shi Ji on the head, but it had no effect.
Monk Tian stepped forward and wanted to push Shi Ji away from Xiao Tan, but Shi Ji hit his head on the lower abdomen instead. After taking a few steps back, he fell to the ground again. When he finally got up and came forward again, Shi Ji calmly stood up on his own and said, "Stop messing around, he's already dead."
Monk Tian hurriedly stepped forward and found that Xiao Tan had indeed run out of energy. Just when he was about to reprimand Shi Ji for his murderous behavior, Lao Liu in the courtyard suddenly woke up, called Xiao Tan, and crawled toward the back door.
