Chapter 465 An old well
"this……"
After hearing Zuo Yang's question, Bu Ya shook his head first and said, "I definitely don't have it. Recently, except for visiting my grandfather, I spent the rest of my time in the room playing games. I basically never went out. Dad, aunt, do you guys?"
"Neither I."
Bu Ya's father recalled it, shook his head, and said, "In recent times, some small problems have occurred in our company. I am running around now, and I can't get enough time to go to such messy places."
"Me too."
Bu Ya's aunt shrugged and said in a daze.
"This is a little strange."
Zuo Yang originally wanted to find some clues about the true body of this "chi" through them. In this way, he might be able to passively wait for this "chi" to come here without being passively waiting for this "chi" to come to the door. It is better to start first.
After all, although he has temporarily locked the soul drunk in the sixty years of life with the Soul-Detention Bell Array, this is just to prevent this "Chic" from burning his boat and using brute force to disperse the already weak soul drunk in the sixty years of life, thus completing the plan to "deception of corpses and bones" in advance. In fact, this cannot be used to extend his life in the sixty years of life... He will definitely not do this, because the behavior of drunk in the sixty years of life for forced behavior is simply to go against the will of heaven, and it is the worst kind, and will inevitably suffer very serious retribution from heaven afterwards, and it is definitely not the kind of retribution of small-scale retribution that has happened before.
Even if he now makes up his mind to temporarily destroy the clone of "chi", it will definitely cause certain damage to "chi". But just as "chi" said, as long as its true body is not destroyed, it can exist forever with the world, and at most hide and silent for a period of time to recover its vitality. He can still persevere in finding opportunities to trouble the Liu family, or wait for an opportunity to trouble him.
This is something that will definitely happen, because the demons and ghosts in the world are actually transformed by the wronged souls of people who die in vain. Therefore, their obsession and revenge will be strong enough to the point that ordinary people cannot understand. Once the person they are targeted by, unless they can find a way to completely eliminate them, they will definitely find it.
It is precisely because of this that Zuo Yang asked this question.
But now it seems that this method is probably not working, because judging from the current attitude of these three people towards themselves, they probably won’t lie to them.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some of them did something that was harmful to nature and had a life debt, so they were brought to the door by this "金". If anyone else would say this kind of thing easily, he would definitely not say it to an outsider like him. Even the closest person would definitely not say it... But the life debt will definitely be displayed in the face, and after seeing their appearance, Zuo Yang could completely rule out this possibility.
“…”
Bu Ya and the other three saw Zuo Yang frowning and inhaling when they saw them, and they did not dare to interrupt him. They just sat on the side and waited silently. At the same time, they were trying hard to recall their recent experiences, for fear of missing a small detail, which gave Zuo Yang the wrong answer and misled him.
After thinking about this for a while, Zuo Yang could only give up the plan of "taking the first step first" and calmed down and said to Bu Ya's father: "Since that's the case, let's take a look at this problem first. Let's prepare for tonight first. Mr. Liu, I need you to prepare some bamboo strips... To put it bluntly, it means thin slices made of bamboo, and then prepare some red ropes and iron wires for me, a silver long-lived lock. Oh, by the way, I also need an ink bucket that rural carpenters often use."
"Okay, I've written them all down. Please check if there are any missing places?"
Bu Ya's father was also very quick. After Zuo Yang finished speaking, he had already recorded all the notebooks from a small notebook that he had taken out from somewhere, and handed them to Zuo Yang for him to check.
It can be seen from this small detail alone that the reason why Bu Ya's father was able to become such a character is inseparable from his own efforts in addition to his numerology and the old man's fame bonus.
"Yeah, it's all on it."
Zuo Yang took a look, nodded with satisfaction, and wrote down the specifications of the things he needed on it, such as how long and wide the bamboo strips should be, what material should be made of the red rope, how thick the iron wire should be, etc.
"Master, when do you want these things?"
Bu Ya's father asked again immediately.
"The faster the better, the later it will be delivered before dinner today. I need to prepare in advance and personally watch over the old man tonight."
Zuo Yang said.
"No problem, I'll send this list to my secretary."
Bu Ya's father said solemnly, "I just want the master to watch the old man himself, I'm afraid I will be wronged. Please suggest whether the master has other needs. As long as I can find it, there will definitely be many satisfying masters."
"Um……"
Zuo Yang thought about it and finally said very truthfully, "Otherwise, you prepare some coffee for me again, I'm afraid I can't stand it and fall asleep accidentally."
"Well……"
After hearing this, Bu Ya's father and the other three looked at Zuo Yang with surprise.
In their eyes, Zuo Yang is already a living god, but now he suddenly put forward such a down-to-earth demand, which naturally made them a little unexpected.
...
After lunch, Zuo Yang had nothing to do for the time being, so he stood up and walked around outside. While digesting the food, he became familiar with the surrounding environment.
He was not sure that this "金" would appear tonight, and maybe he would have to stay for several nights in a row.
However, since it was night, it was very necessary for him to figure out the surrounding environment first, so as not to be ignorant and be fooled by this "金" using the terrain.
"Brother, I'll accompany you. I'm quite familiar with you nearby."
Bu Ya is also very attentive now. When he heard that Zuo Yang had this meaning, he hurriedly followed Zuo Yang, shouting at the elder brother, wondering how close he was.
"All right."
Zuo Yang did not refute his face, nodded, and walked out of the living room with him.
The two of them first walked around the yard, and Bu Ya kept talking like a tour guide to Zuo Yang about the use of each room in the yard. They also opened each room at Zuo Yang's request and checked it.
The houses here have been renovated recently, and all the decorations do not look like what a rural house should look like. The furniture inside is also brand new, so there is nothing to pay attention to.
So after moving in the yard, the two of them came to the outside of the yard together.
It is obvious that the outside of the yard has just recently been rested and recuperated. Unlike the nearby yards, a large area around the yard has been paved with flat cement floors. During the rest and recuperation process, several common fitness equipment in the community were even installed, which also looks out of place with this backward mountain village.
Although these fitness equipment may not be used in the sixties, they have done a good thing, at least in disguise, they have brought some benefits to some left-behind elderly people who are still living in this village.
Now, two old ladies are occupying two swinging walkers and chatting while basking in the sun.
Seeing Zuo Yang and Bu Ya coming out of the yard, the two old ladies unconsciously turned their heads and looked at them again.
One of the old ladies seemed to have a good relationship with Bu Ya's grandfather, so they were familiar with Bu Ya. He smiled and held his teeth-free pouting mouth and said to him in a leaking voice: "The eldest grandson of the Liu family, I haven't seen you push your grandfather out to bask in the sun for several days. He is not right?"
"My grandpa has just caught a cold these two days, nothing is wrong."
Bu Ya also greeted the old lady with a smile and said vaguely that no matter how young he is, he will not tell an outsider about his family.
"As long as this person reaches age and has a little bit of illness, he should go out to bask in the sun and do activities. He always lie in the house without any illness, but he will have to get sick."
The old lady's temperament is quite simple, and she was still talking to Bu Ya, "Look at me, I'm already eighty-two this year, and my body is still tough. You also advise your grandpa not to stay in the house all the time, and you'll get better if you get more sunbathing."
"I understand. I'll push him out and let my grandfather come back and wait for him to go."
Bu Ya responded politely again, but obviously no longer wanted to get involved with the old lady on this topic, so he turned his head and said to Zuo Yang, "Brother, my father asked someone to lay the cement floor nearby. Not only in front of the yard, but also a large area behind the yard. I'll take you to the back."
"Um."
Zuo Yang nodded.
As a result, the two of them had just walked a few steps behind the yard, and the old lady shouted at them again: "Old Liu family's eldest grandson, you two are here, don't go back anymore, it's hard to walk behind, don't fall accidentally!"
"Don't worry, you're here, the cement floor that my dad just found someone to lay, so he couldn't fall."
Bu Ya turned around and smiled at the old lady again and said.
"Of course I know this, why would I say that the construction teams in the city are cheating people now?"
The old lady wrinkled her face again and said in a nagging manner, "You have only been looking for someone to shop this place for a few days, and the cement floor behind it has cracked several large holes, and the cement boards have been raised. A few days ago, Lao Wang and I went there for a walk. If she hadn't helped me, she would have tripped me."
"Impossible?"
Bu Ya said a little disbelief that his father was willing to spend money on the old man and would definitely not go to a construction team that cut corners to construct, and he must be very generous in the use of materials, and there is no reason why the cement floor will crack so quickly.
However, because they are busy with grandpa’s affairs in recent days, their family rarely come here to wander around...
"How could I coax you?"
The old lady was dissatisfied and said to Bu Ya, "If you don't believe it, go and have a look. There are several holes from the boss. Just then, you will ask your father to go to the construction team and ask those lambs who don't do personnel to pay for the money. What do we say can't afford such a boring loss."
"hold head high……"
Hearing this, Bu Ya didn't say anything more, and took Zuo Yang and walked quickly to the back of the yard.
Sure enough, as soon as they turned the corner of the courtyard wall, they had already seen several cracks more than ten meters behind his yard. As the old lady said, many cement blocks had been raised in the cracks.
Looking at the cuts of these cracks, the cement floor here is made of very strong concrete, and the materials used for these concrete are very solid. The above layer is 20 cm thick. Even if the government funded the construction of cement roads in every village, it may not be able to achieve such a thickness, and it cannot be considered cutting corners.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Bu Ya no longer knew what to say. Just as the old lady said, it has only been repaired for a few days, so why has it become this virtue?
"This doesn't look like it was caused by the construction team cutting corners, but it's more like some crustal movements (earthquakes) have occurred here recently, but the range and destructive power of the crustal movement are definitely not so small..."
Squatting in front of the crack and looking carefully, Zuo Yang also muttered to himself thoughtfully.
"But what the hell is going on? Why don't I ask my dad and ask him to find someone to retouch?"
Bu Ya frowned and said.
"No hurry."
Zuo Yang shook his head, thought for a while, and finally turned around and asked Bu Ya, "You said you are very familiar with this place, do you know what's happening here before the renovation?"
“In my impression…”
Bu Ya recalled carefully and said, "It seems that there is a well here. When I was very young, my grandfather took me to dig water in this well. Later, tap water was released in the village. No one used this well anymore. In addition, fewer and fewer people living in the village, so it gradually became deserted. When I came back a few years ago, it had become a wasteland, and the grass was as high as people."
"Are you well?"
Zuo Yang responded.
"Oh by the way, I remembered it!"
Bu Ya suddenly thought about something again and said quickly, "When my father repaired the place, he seemed to have told me that he had to fill a well if he had to repair it. When he was a child, he drank water from this well, and he was a little reluctant to fill it... Now it seems that this well was still filled by my father."
"Um……"
After hearing Bu Ya's words, Zuo Yang nodded slightly.
However, according to common sense, if a well is filled, it is impossible to be associated with the cracks in the cement floor, and it is even more inconsistent with the "金" that appears on the old man.
But if you liberate your mind and don't follow common sense...
