Penitent hand, trembling slightly

The trio walked forward in the direction pointed out by the golden retriever, Sisi forcibly took the golden retriever's arm and walked in front, and Shen Maomao followed behind them like an unwanted oil bottle, happy and relaxed, looking left and right Appreciate the landscape and humanities that are completely different from modern times.

There are rows of merchants on both sides of the street, clothing stores, grocery stores, barber shops, pharmacies, medical centers, restaurants... everything, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

There is a path several people wide under the merchants on both sides for pedestrians to walk around.People come and go on the road in a hurry. Young women wear cheongsams and dresses, and men wear coats or suits. Without exception, they all have short hair. Chinese and Western are perfectly compatible, giving people a sense of space-time confusion. .

After walking for a while, she may feel awkward just walking without talking, and the dumb golden retriever can't meet her needs for conversation. Sisi turned around on her own initiative, pretending to realize that Shen Maomao had fallen behind, and shouted: "Sister Rabbit , Why are you so far behind? Come and walk with us!" He waved to her with his empty hand, signaling her to hold his hand.

"Ah..." Shen Maomao quickened two steps and stood on Sisi's left side, sandwiching her with Jinmao one on the left and one on the right, and said, "I was thinking about what happened last night, and it just happened like this before I knew it. .”

Sisi withdrew her hand naturally and said, "Did the doorbell ring at midnight last night?"

Shen Maomao nodded: "Well, I saw a person...ah, maybe it's not necessarily a person, he is holding a white oil-paper umbrella and wearing red clothes."

Sisi said: "You are so brave, you dare to look at the door."

Shen Maomao smiled helplessly: "I was afraid that I might miss some information, so I suppressed my fear to read it."

Sisi: "Do you think that person came in or went out?"

Shen Maomao thought of the sewage on the first floor, and replied: "The ones that come in may be bigger."

Sisi also said: "Speaking of which, in the second half of the night, I always felt that there was someone in the room, could it be that one?"

Shen Maomao kindly reminded her: "You can look at the curtain wardrobe or something tonight, maybe there will be surprises."

Sisi: "...Are you serious?"

Shen Maomao raised his eyebrows: "Why should I lie to you?"

Sisi's expression gradually darkened, and she seemed to have recalled what was wrong last night.

Shen Maomao added: "But they don't seem to mean to hurt us, they are just observing something in the dark...Maybe they are choosing a wife for He Bo?" Sisi's face suddenly became uglier: "I won't swim."

Shen Maomao: "If you want to be more open, maybe He Bo still doesn't like you."

Sisi: "..."

Although it is a good thing, why are you so angry when you hear it?

Maybe it was hit by Shen Maomao's words, and later Sisi stopped talking and chose to be a silent lamb.

The three of them walked along the river all the way, and the more they walked, the narrower it became, until they finally reached a large lake, and there was no way at all.

Sisi recovered from the blow just now, and asked Jin Mao: "Why is there no way? What should we do next?"

The golden retriever looked at the map again, pointed to the wavy stripes on the map and nodded, making sure that the route he was pointing to was absolutely correct, then pointed to the boat next to him, and gestured again while holding the map.

Sisi said, "Are you saying let's go by boat? Sorry, I don't know much about sign language."

The golden retriever nodded and waved his hand again, signaling that she doesn't need to care about this.

Fortunately, there were many boats specially used to carry passengers parked on the lake, and a few people hired a small boat with money, and swung staggeringly towards the center of the lake.

The boatman this time was also an old man, and he asked while rocking the boat, "You three student children, what are you doing across the river?"

"We want to go to the Hebo Temple and pay homage to Master Hebo." Sisi took the opportunity to ask her for directions, "Old man, do you know how to go after crossing the river?"

The boatman laughed loudly: "How could I not know this? I was wondering what you were going to do when you crossed the river! It turned out that it was to pay homage to Master Hebo. I told you earlier, Hebo Temple is on the bank, and I will take you there directly." .”

Sisi said in surprise, "That's really great! Thank you so much."

The boatman said: "You are welcome, children, you must be sincere when you worship Master He Bo, so that your wishes can be realized, as the saying goes, sincerity leads to spirit."

Shen Maomao interjected curiously: "Is it possible to wish for anything?"

The boatman lowered his head and smiled, as if reciting a spell: "Of course you can wish for anything."

……

The Hebo Temple was indeed by the lake. The boatman sent them to the place, waved his hand and rejected their tips, reminded them to be sincere, and then shook the boat and left.

Several people watched him leave, and turned their heads to look at the Hebo Temple behind them.

The Hebo Temple is built on the water, and the river bank is connected by a wooden bridge more than two meters high.There is a small pavilion at the beginning of the wooden bridge. Four stone dragons stand at the four corners of the pavilion, and four copper bells are hung under the eaves. They are shaking with the wind at the moment, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

But other than that, they didn't see anyone on the road, and even from the moment they stepped into the kiosk, the boats coming and going on the lake disappeared.

The sound of birds and insects gradually disappeared, and the surrounding was a little strangely quiet, leaving only the sound of bells shaking.

"jingle--"

"jingle--"

One after another, shaking people's hearts uneasy.

Sisi held the oil-paper umbrella tightly, and said to the two: "I'll explore the way, you two follow me closely." After speaking, she walked carefully onto the wooden bridge, and took the initiative to choose the most dangerous job.

Shen Maomao glanced at her in surprise, and followed her obediently with Jinmao.

The wooden bridge sagged slightly under the weight of the three people, but it was resilient and did not break. Instead, there was an upward force against them, which bounced them up and down.

Shen Maomao didn't suffer from water sickness, so she wasn't very worried. The golden retriever could swim, and her expression was as calm as hers, but Sisi's face was paler, and she stood tremblingly on the wooden board, daring not to move, trembling as if a sieve.

Shen Maomao patted her on the back and urged, "Hurry up?"

The golden retriever poked its head out from behind and looked over curiously.

Sisi shook her whole body, and said sharply: "Don't! Don't touch me!" Then her voice softened: "Don't move! Let's walk slowly...I'm a little afraid of heights..."

I didn't expect that such a vigorous and aggressive Yujie would be afraid of heights, which is quite cute in contrast.

Just now, she took the initiative to walk forward and gained goodwill from Shen Maomao. Seeing that she was so scared at this time, Shen Maomao couldn't bear to watch her from behind, so she directly grabbed her arm from behind, and walked sideways from her. The empty seat beside her was squeezed to the front, and the wooden board sank again, causing Sisi to scream again in fright.

Before she finished screaming, a strong force came from her wrist, and she was forced to stagger forward. The rest of the scream was stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter it. In the blink of an eye, she reached the solid ground in front of the Hebo Temple , sweat profusely.

Shen Maomao let go of his hand and said, "If you are afraid, you should walk faster, so as to shorten the time of fear."

Sisi wiped off her sweat and said weakly: "It's too exciting, I can't do it anymore, let's go in after I take a break."

Maybe there will be some unexpected situation after entering, so thinking about it, Shen Maomao also squatted down in front of the Hebo Temple, looking up at the main entrance of the temple.

The area of ​​Hebo Temple is small. There are two big red pillars in front of the main gate, and a vermilion gate behind the pillars.Its top is similar to the pavilion at the entrance - it is covered with glazed tiles, the bottom is colorfully painted, and there are also four dragons and four small bells at the four corners.

She fixed her eyes on the bell, then stretched her hand into the air, felt it carefully, and then whispered: "There is no wind..."

There is no wind, but the bell is still shaking.

Sisi looked up at the bell, pursed her lips, and squeezed out the word "Chuan" between her brows: "I've rested, shall we go in?"

Shen Maomao: "Come in... By the way, don't forget what the boatman said, you'd better be sincere."

Sisi nodded, walked to the door first, stretched out her hand towards the door, and gently pushed the door open.

The door was lighter and cooler than she had imagined.

There was a long "creaking" sound, the door was opened a crack, and the inside was dark.

Sisi forcefully pushed both doors open.

Warm yellow light came into the eyes of the three, and the light came from the burning white candles on the ground on both sides.

The interior space of Hebo Temple is as narrow as they imagined, but even simpler than they imagined.

There are no windows here, and there are walls on three sides. There is very little oxygen in the air, but the candles are not extinguished for some reason.

At the end of the room is a tall statue of a god. There is an incense burner in front of the statue. There are three sticks of incense in the incense burner. I don't know who inserted it.Other than that, there are no other decorations, not even a temple blessing.

The statue is wearing a long gown, and its face cannot be seen clearly because it is too tall, but overall it has an inexplicable sense of sacredness, which makes people want to kneel down in front of him and bow their heads in surrender.

Ever since the door was opened, Shen Maomao's eyelids and temples have been twitching wildly, yelling at her for danger, but no matter how her brain alerted her, her body seemed to be out of control, and she was firmly fixed in place.

This was not because of supernatural events, but because her body was too frightened to act rashly.

Sisi took a step forward, directly into the temple, and walked towards the statue step by step.

The hem of the skirt moved the air nearby, and the candle swayed slightly, but stubbornly did not go out.

Sisi walked all the way to the incense burner, knelt on the floor piously, kowtowed three more times, then closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and knelt there without moving.

The golden retriever looked dazed, and couldn't help poking Shen Maomao's back.

Shen Maomao held the door, gave him a warning look, reminded him not to act rashly, and then continued to stare at Sisi.

Time passed by, about 2 minutes later, Sisi suddenly moved again, I saw her standing up straight, retreating back to the point where she just came in without looking back, and then her whole body shook , and said: "Let's go? Do you want to go in and have a look together?"
