Chapter 56 The Temple
While waiting at the airport, Xiaokai called Ren Licheng again and reported to him about Tong Dajiang's movements.
It turned out that Tong Dajiang had left Zhu Debiao's house at this time. Ren Licheng also observed all this through his satellite phone. After looking at his watch, Tong Dajiang had only been at Zhu Debiao's house for an hour.
Ren Licheng speculated that Zhu Debiao might have achieved his goal, otherwise he would not have let Tong Dajiang go so easily. So what would he get from Tong Dajiang? Is it a corner of the Rabis treasure map?
He suddenly felt that he would miss a lot of things when he went to XC to pick up the treasures in the Lin family's mansion during this period.
However, Ren Licheng still stepped onto the plane to XC without hesitation. No matter what it was, wait until he came back before dealing with it calmly!
The system described in the unmanned land is in a place called Shigatse in XC. Ren Licheng first took a plane to Lhasa, and then rented a Wuling Hongguang in the local area and drove to Shigatse through navigation.
After this, it was the next night when Ren Licheng arrived in Shigatse.
After driving to the small mountain village closest to the no-man's land, Ren Licheng parked his car on the side of the road and prepared to find a hotel here to stay first, rest for a day before going there.
This small mountain village is relatively behind. The whole village has no electricity, and every household still uses the most primitive lights. The villagers are wearing Tibetan robes and stand in front of their homes and look at Ren Licheng on the stakes, but no one has ever gone up to talk to Ren Licheng, as if they treat him as a freak.
Ren Licheng always feels that there is an indescribable weirdness here.
After walking around the village, there was no hotel. Ren Licheng had to sigh inwardly and return to Wuling Hongguang parked by the village. It seemed that he could only spend the whole night in the car tonight. Fortunately, he had bought daily necessities and clothes in Lhasa before, otherwise it would be a problem now.
Ren Licheng had just returned to a dark-faced girl in a Tibetan robe who was lying in front of his car, drawing on the roof with stones. At this time, the door of the car had been scratched in a mess by stones.
This is so great? Ren Licheng quickly ran over and stopped him sternly and said, "Hey, which child are you from? Have you never taught you that you can't touch other people's things at will!"
If it were another child, when Ren Licheng shouted, he would be so scared that he would go home to look for his mother. However, the child was not afraid at all, but stared at Ren Licheng and asked, "Is this your thing?"
Ren Licheng said angrily: "It's not mine, is it still yours?"
The little girl continued, "Since it's your thing, what can I do if I ask me to draw? Could it be that you still have to worry about me, a child?"
After being said this by the little girl, Ren Licheng was speechless. He only felt that the little girl was very strange. She didn't say that it was said by a six or seven-year-old child.
"Okay, I won't bother with you. But now I'm going to rest, so you can go home quickly." A moment of sleepiness came, and Ren Licheng was too lazy to waste his talk about the few thousand yuan of repair costs and the little girl.
"No, I haven't finished drawing yet." The little girl looked like she was reluctant to leave.
Although the other party was just a child, this willful behavior still made Ren Licheng angry.
The little girl saw that Ren Licheng was unhappy and said, "You won't just rest in this broken iron tonight, right? Why not do this? As long as you ask me to finish painting, I will take you to find a good place to spend the night."
Ren Licheng stared at the little girl half-believingly and half-doubtedly, and her face felt like an adult.
This place is really strange everywhere, but thinking that this is the only villager who talks to him, maybe he can really find a place to live for himself. Ren Licheng trusts the little girl for the time being, and said helplessly: "Then you draw it quickly."
With Ren Licheng's approval, the little girl took the stone and carved it in front of the car unscrupulously, making a harsh sound.
After drawing for a while, the little girl clapped her hands and said it was over. Ren Licheng walked over to look curiously. The little girl drew a strange symbol in the car. The more Ren Licheng looked at it, the more she felt that it was like a symbol of sacrifice.
But Ren Licheng was not so idle that he took a child to doodle randomly, and turned around and asked the little girl: "Can you take me to find a place to spend the night now?"
The little girl seemed satisfied when she looked at her masterpiece, nodded, and then walked forward on her own.
Ren Licheng quickly went back to the car to get some luggage, parked the car at the entrance of the village, and strode to catch up with the little girl in front of him.
The little girl led Ren Licheng to the gate of an ancient temple. Ren Licheng was stunned. When she was wandering in the village just now, she didn't see this temple. What's even more strange is that there are temples in such a small mountain village.
Ren Licheng thought, this is not a ghost.
The little girl walked up and knocked on the rusted iron door handle. After a while, an elderly monk wearing a shabby red monk's robe opened the door with a lantern in his hand. Ren Licheng also deliberately glanced at the monk's back. There was a shadow, and it was a human, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the monk saw the little girl, there was a look of anger between his eyebrows, but when he saw Ren Licheng, he turned into a puzzlement and asked, "What are you?"
Ren Licheng quickly explained: "I am here for a tour. I happened to pass by this village and wanted to find a place to spend the night and leave tomorrow." Seeing that the monk was still skeptical, Ren Licheng said again: "Oh, I brought it from this child. She said she had a place to rest, so she brought me here."
The monk looked at Ren Licheng, then at the absent-minded little girl, nodded helplessly, and muttered, "What are you going to visit here? Forget it, come with me. There are still empty rooms in the temple, you can stay there for a night tonight."
After saying that, the monk turned around and walked into the temple with Ren Licheng.
The little girl seemed to know that her task had been completed, and she said nothing, turned around and left. Ren Licheng wanted to call her, but she took a quick step and disappeared into the night in a flash.
Ren Licheng couldn't help but ask the monk: "Did that little girl often come to the temple just now?"
The monk said expressionlessly: "She is a mountain baby, so she is very unlucky. You should stay away from her. If she is entangled, you will be unlucky."
The monk said it evilly, but Ren Licheng is not a superstitious person. He just thought that this mountain kid was a despised child. It was indeed quite annoying to see her naughty appearance.
Ren Licheng was too lazy to meddle in other people's business. He came to find the no-man's land and took away the treasures of the Lin family's mansion. After taking them, he would go back to the Demon City to do business immediately, and he had no time to delay here.
The monk arranged a simple guest room for Ren Licheng. Ren Licheng looked at the old and dusty furniture inside, but he didn't dislike it. After all, no matter what, sleeping here is better than sleeping in a car.
