"Who is it!" I knocked on Uncle Gao's door. After a while, I heard the voice of a middle-aged woman. I loudly replied, "It's me. Tianyi, is Uncle Gao at home?"

Before I could finish my words, the door opened and a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared before us. It was just that her skin was a little rough from years of hard work and she was holding a spatula in her hand.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for me?" Uncle Gao's wife died in that disaster 16 years ago, and then married a widow with a child, the one in front of him. When Aunt Gao came, I had already gone to Guangzhou with Uncle Lin. Naturally, she had never seen me before.

General Lan glanced at me, meaning why didn't your aunt recognize you? I ignored him and told Aunt Gao, "I'm Hu Tianyi, who returned a few days ago. Uncle Gao even sent me to town that day."

"Aiya, you're Tian Yi!" Aunt Gao suddenly realized something, slapped her thigh and said, "Come in, come in, your Uncle Gao has told me many times, but I haven't seen him before. I finally saw him today, he's really handsome, you can't leave tonight, you have to stay for dinner!"

Aunt Gao passionately invited us into the house and poured us some tea. I hastily took the tea from her and said, "Aunt Gao, don't be busy. We'll do it ourselves." As I received the tea, I asked, "Aunt Gao, where is my uncle?" Why didn't you see him? "

"Your uncle went to help out at a friend's house. He'll be back soon. You guys sit first, I'll go cook a few more dishes. You two can have a few drinks tonight." Before I could say anything, Aunt Gao turned around and headed for the kitchen.

I smiled wryly. Aunt Gao was really passionate. General Lan was drinking tea calmly at the side as he mocked, "Does this Aunt Gao have a daughter?" I was stunned and couldn't help but say, "No!" Why do you ask? "

General Lan put down his teacup and looked at me with a smile. "If I didn't have a daughter, why would I be so passionate towards you? Why would I be looking for you as my son-in-law?"

I glared at him and ignored him. After a long time, he said, "Tianyi, where did your Uncle Gao go? Why aren't you back yet?" I snappily replied, "How would I know?"

General Lan smacked his lips and said, "Do you think it's possible for us to find someone who knows about the matter to come knocking on our door and end up dead?"

I grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it over. I looked at him as he caught it and scolded, "You jinx, why don't you know how to speak a few human words?!" Before I could finish my sentence, I heard a surprised shout, "Tianyi, you're finally back!" It was Uncle Gao.

Uncle Gao quickly walked in front of me and grabbed my hand. "Where have you been these past few days? They said that you've gone missing. A few days ago, a policeman came to our house to ask if I know where you are." What have you been doing these past few days? "

I didn't want Uncle Gao to worry so I replied vaguely, "I went out with a few friends a few days ago and didn't tell them about it. That's why they thought that I had gone missing."

"What is it? I can't get in touch with you." Uncle Gao was a bit displeased, but before I could reply, he pulled me back and whispered, "Did you do something illegal?" The mysteriousness of the situation left me at a loss whether to laugh or cry. I could only say, "Of course not. How could I do such a thing?"

General Lan could not stand listening to this any longer and could not help chuckling softly. Uncle Gao was too focused on me just now, so he noticed that there was someone else by my side. He said in confusion, "This is …"

He was afraid that General Lan's name would arouse suspicion, so he spoke first. "Uncle Gao, this is my friend. Hm, his surname is Lan. You can call him Xiaolan!"

"Xiaolan, why does she look like a girl?"

Uncle Gao muttered a few words. Although his voice wasn't loud, General Lan and I could still hear him. I suppressed my laughter. General Lan had an awkward expression as he glared at me.

Uncle Gao didn't notice and just muttered a few words before saying, "You came in too quickly last time, so we didn't have a good chat. Don't leave tonight. We're going with your friends so we can have some drinks."

General Lan was also someone with thick skin. Before I could say anything, he said, "Great, great. We'll have a taste of Aunt Gao's cooking skills."

Uncle Gao said with a smile, "Alright, alright, alright. I'll have your aunt add a few more dishes."

While we were chatting, Aunt Gao had already prepared food. Uncle Gao took a bottle of white wine and poured a cup for General Lan and me. He raised his wine glass and said, "Come, let's have one first. It's like we're at home. Don't be shy." Saying that, he drained his cup in one gulp.

I just took a sip, but General Lan didn't care and drank it all in one gulp. We drank with Uncle Gao for a while. I felt that it was about time, so I signaled General Lan with my eyes. I put down my wine cup and said, "Uncle Gao, we've come to ask you something this time."

Uncle Gao's face was completely red as he put down his wine cup and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember that Buddhist temple at the back of the mountain?"

Uncle Gao thought for a moment and said, "How come I don't remember? The monk from the temple is a really powerful monk!"

My heart jolted as I exchanged glances with General Lan. This monk was indeed not simple. What do you mean? "

Uncle Gao took a sip of his wine and recalled, "Speaking of this monk, he has a long story ahead of him. That was about thirty years ago, and your father still hasn't come back. The big monk came to our village by himself, dressed in tattered clothes, with a yellow complexion, as if he was malnourished. He said that he was a monk, and seeing the beautiful scenery here, he wanted to build a buddhist temple here to spread his fortune. He didn't expect that once the monk got the money, he would actually invite people to build a Buddhist temple behind the mountain. The amount of money he had was not enough. When the villagers saw that he was pitiful, they would go and help out. In the end, they had to add something before they could build this Buddhist temple. On the day that the Buddha statue was lit up, the monk invited people to watch the ceremony from door to door. If he doesn't, then he will just follow behind the monk and chant. "

Hearing that, I couldn't help but glance at General Lan. This rogue's strength is similar to his. Who would've thought that General Lan would be so focused on listening to Uncle Gao's story that he didn't even blink.

"The crowd could not resist him, so they went with him to the back of the mountain. I was just a kid of eighteen or nineteen at the time, and I thought it was funny, so I went along with it. The monk called himself a real shaman and called himself a buddha, this buddhist temple is also called the buddhist temple, they said that the buddhist buddhist worship in the temple is a medicine master, it can protect us from disease and disease, everyone thought that he was bullsh * tting and did not answer, and the monk also said that the buddhist worship is entirely laid out by the villagers, this is his karma with everyone, this buddhist enlightenment is a good opportunity for everyone, after saying it, just sat on the prayer mat and started reciting. "

Uncle Gao was tired from talking so he stopped and took a sip of wine. I could hear that it was a mess, but this Dragon Binding Rope didn't matter. General Lan's expression was solemn as he asked anxiously, "What happened after that?"

Uncle Gao ate two mouthfuls of food, and after listening to General Lan's question, he continued, "It's quite strange, this monk didn't say much when he started chanting, and we didn't want to hear it either. But the more he says it, the happier we are. It wasn't until the monk finished chanting that we came back to our senses. When this monk sent us down the mountain, he said that if there's anything in the future, we can come and find him.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. It seems that this monk is a good person. Could it be that he was unable to deal with the Three Yin Tomb, so he died to solve the disaster in the Hu village?

He continued, "We were also shocked by the way the monk was chanting just now, but we were still skeptical until a year later. For some reason, we heard the sounds of horses on the streets of the village, and people fighting on the streets, as if it was an ancient war on TV. The villagers were all scared, and no one knew who thought of the monk behind the mountain.

General Lan frowned as he thought of something. Uncle Gao continued, "From now on, no matter who has a white matter or whatever, they are willing to invite this monk to come home and say a few words. "Previously, when he was reciting scriptures, no one wanted him to be so unlucky as to say that he was unlucky. After what happened, everyone wanted to invite him. This monk also said that he would do it, he really doesn't want a single cent. At most, he would just bring something to eat back to the temple."

Uncle Gao paused before continuing, "Later on, it was that disaster that year. At the beginning, everyone thought that something bad had happened, so they went to beg the big monk, but the big monk said that he was powerless, so everyone stopped thinking. Until someone from the higher-ups sent someone to save us, and after that disaster, the big monk went with your father."

I tensed up and asked, "This monk went missing with my father?"

Uncle Gao shook his head and said, "No one knows. The monk lives in the True God Temple. No one knows when he disappeared, but after your father disappeared, the bell never rang again."

Uncle Gao remembered the disaster, and his expression darkened as he drank his wine in silence. That disaster had taken too many lives and left indelible scars on the hearts of the living.

General Lan had been lowering his head in contemplation. Seeing his appearance, he didn't seem to care. He asked Uncle Gao softly, "When I went to Yutang, I saw many locust trees planted at the back of the temple. Are those also grown by big monks?"

Uncle Gao rolled his eyes at me and said, "What's the big monk taking in Yin Wooden for?"

Upon hearing that, I hastily asked, "Then where did the locust tree come from?"

Uncle Gao shook his head and said, "I also don't know, after that disaster, the big monk went missing, and no one went to the back mountain. Uncle Gao shook his head and said," I don't know, after that disaster, the big monk went missing, and no one went to the back mountain.

Uncle Gao drank another cup as his face became even redder. Even his eyes began to flicker as if he had drunk too much. Aunt Gao came to the Hu Village later on, so she didn't know much about this, so she just sat there and didn't say anything. Seeing that Uncle Gao was drunk, she said to Uncle Gao, "Alright, it's about time. There will still be time to drink in the future." He then turned to us and said, "You guys can stay here tonight. I've already prepared the rooms. You can stay in Ahmin's room for now."

Ah Min is the son that Aunt Gao brought over. He is two years younger than me and has already gone to work elsewhere. He hasn't returned home for a long time, so he gave me and General Lan an empty room.

This fellow had been silent ever since he drank the wine. After entering the room, he whispered to me, "This monk is probably not a good person!"
