Chapter 1000 Number 054 - A monk falls into a dream (9)
"Mr. An, are you okay?"
"Cough cough... No, it's okay... Huh... At that time, it should have been before the war began. I was not at Qingchazhuang at that time, but I just kept my breath and made a fuss and ran outside. I went to many places, and I couldn't starve to death, and I didn't make a fortune. Cough cough... Later, I went to the capital with people. At that time, there were many foreigners in the capital. Where I was in a quarrel, people followed foreigners to dig graves and rob tombs. They made a lot of money from foreigners. I... At that time, I thought of things at home...the land deeds, genealogies, and these old things were looked down upon by foreigners. They also don't want jade or jade. Buddha head...they want Buddha head...cough cough cough..."
"Did you sell the information to them like this?"
"No, no. The one who told me about this was an old gangster with me. We all called him He Ye. He was very good at water and helped the foreigners dive and dig several times. I missed the feet and let him see it. He secretly looked for me and asked me if I knew where there were treasures and whether I had treasures at home. He knew those foreigners and could introduce them. I thought I could come to him by myself. He said something closer. After a while, we were going to do a ticket by ourselves and sell the goods to foreigners. The price was...ahem...it's higher."
"You took him to Qing Tea House."
"Yes...ah... I took him back here...I didn't dare to go home, so I hid outside. When it was dark, I took He Ye to Cha Mountain... There was a small hill next to Cha Mountain. The soil of the mountain was not good, so tea trees were not bloomed. It was also a little far away, and no one was passing by. There was a small path. After going up the mountain, you could find a hole on the top of the mountain and go down the hole. Inside it was... cough cough... The inside was hollowed out, and the stones were carved into Buddha statues."
"That Buddha's head was stolen from it. Is that true?"
"Yes... only, only that one... we lit a candle. I only went there when I was a child. When I was a child, I just went in and looked in. I was scared. It was dark and there was almost no light. As soon as the candle entered, the light was just that little light, and the Buddha statues shining were all scary... This was the second time I went in. I was fascinated by the ghosts and no longer felt afraid. Master He was not afraid anymore. He walked around the Buddha statues and kept muttering that he was about to send them... He also pulled me and said that these Buddha heads could not be one.
Sell it out a little bit, and find different foreigners to sell it. If you can sell it for decades, we will all be rich... Cough cough... Cough... I, listen, my heart beat so fast. My heart is almost jumping out of my throat... We, we, we, we, we, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
"Mr. An, please take a break."
"No, no need... I continue to say... Buddha's head, we cut down one, the first one from the hole. The last one, the one that cut off the neck... I don't know, I don't know if it's... I heard the sound... I feel like I'm not cutting stones, but cutting, the real neck. After that, the head fell down. Both of us forgot to pick it up. There was blood, no, it was rain, it was rain floating in from outside the cave, just like blood... I... Master He and I were stunned for a long time, and neither of us made a sound. After a long time, the candle was turned off and it was dark around, and Master He spoke. He touched the darkness.
The Buddha's head was picked up and hello to me. I remember that his voice was trembling. When he climbed up, he almost fell and sat me down. We both... ahem, we both came out of the cave and were a little panicked. We didn't care about anything and ran down the mountain. I remember that the rain had stopped at that time... we left the cave and it didn't rain anymore. We ran down the mountain, fell several times, and finally arrived at a place where we hid during the day. It was in a corner of the tea garden. At that time, it was a little dawn, and we thought about continuing to run, but we didn't know what happened, and suddenly... fell asleep... ahem..."
"What happened after falling asleep?"
"Ahem... I dreamed. We both dreamed of a monk and asked us to return the head to him. I... I was so scared at that time that I wanted to exchange the Buddha head back. Master He said it was okay, just go and get rid of the bad luck. He followed the foreigners to dig graves and pick up treasures, and also met some capable people and understood some things in this regard. He said a lot and kept saying...Ahem... I said this Buddha head again. After selling it, both of us could be free and free for the rest of our lives... We held the Buddha head and continued to walk out of the Qing Tea House..."
"You took the Buddha Head out of Qing Tea House? How did the Buddha Head come back here?"
"We sent it back... We left Qing Tea House and tried all the methods He said, but we still dreamed of the monk every day. He kept begging us to return his head. We both stayed up all night and didn't dare to sleep, and couldn't help falling asleep. Later, it was really... cough cough... I couldn't stand it anymore... I told He Master, "I won't do this business anymore, let's go back... He Master smoked several bags of cigarettes, finished smoking all the cigarettes on his body, and spent all the money on his body, and couldn't hold it anymore... We went back to Qing Tea House."
"You did not return the Buddha's head."
"Yes...yes...no return... When we came back, we caught up with the recruitment... We didn't know what happened, but we saw that the county was in chaos, and many officials were still searching for something... We didn't know that it was recruitment, but we were afraid that our affairs would be discovered. The Buddha's head was not easy to throw away, and we didn't have the chance to return it. We found a place at night, buried the Buddha's head, and kowtowed. We agreed that when things calmed down, we dug it out and returned it back. I don't know if he heard it. That night, we all slept well. Cough... Cough... Next, for the next half month, we stayed at the edge of Qingchazhuang, waiting for the rest of the way there. It was only then that we realized that war began to start in the north, and foreigners were beaten to the door, and many people died. This was a war... It was chaos everywhere. Conscripted, fleeing... I
