Chapter five hundred and ninetieth black water town
At 1:20 in the afternoon, we arrived at Blackwater Town.
The Blackwater River flows through here because it is surrounded by mountains.
Looking down from above, the river is pitch black and bottomless.
That’s why it’s called Blackwater Town.
Legend has it that during Kong Ming’s Northern Expedition, a lot of food and military equipment were stationed here.
Every time during the Northern Expedition, Heishui Town would be used as a transit point and transported to the northern front line through the Heishui River.
After getting off the bus, I found that it was a small town.
Even, relatively remote.
The journey was bumpy and we were all hungry.
I found a restaurant nearby, had something to eat, and then started on my way again after a long journey.
Because we still have to walk into the mountains.
Before getting in the car, I called my grandma back home.
I don't know if I can come back safely after going into the mountains this time.
If I can't come back, grandma will be my only concern.
The call was quickly connected.
Grandma’s kind and familiar voice sounded:
"Hey! Zewa!"
"It's my grandma, what are you doing?"
"Grandma is chatting with Matchmaker Li from the village next to you! I want to ask Matchmaker Li to tell you about your marriage later.
You are also a big boss.
Get married as soon as possible and give grandma a baby.
Grandma can also help you take care of your children.
When grandma can't move in a few years, she won't be able to help you take care of your children..."
As soon as I said this, grandma started to ramble on for a long time.
I smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone.
Every time we talk on the phone, grandma never talks about my marriage.
But this time, I didn't interrupt her.
In fact, I just want to hear more of my grandma’s voice.
"I know, grandma! When I come back, I will listen to you and go on a blind date!"
I said very calmly.
Grandma was very happy after hearing this and said:
"That's right! The first male should get married!"
"Yes, I know."
I didn't find it annoying and responded calmly.
But after hearing this, grandma was stunned for a moment.
After a short silence, he spoke again:
"Zeva, did something happen?"
"No, what can happen to me?"
I still spoke calmly.
But my grandma obviously understands me. I used to reject her when she said this.
But this time, I listened patiently and nodded in agreement.
Grandma didn’t ask too much, she just said:
"It's said on TV that working in big cities is hard.
Young people are also under great pressure.
If you are tired, you are tired.
Just come back and you will have everything at home.
Feed the chickens and plant the fields.
Although you can't be rich or wealthy.
But we don’t have to worry about food or clothing.
No pressure either.
Do you understand?"
Grandma's voice is very kind, soft and calm.
But when I heard it, I felt very sad.
I feel that if I continue to listen, I may become emotionally excited.
Then he opened his mouth and said:
"I understand, grandma, please pay attention to your health.
I’ll come back when I’m empty.”
"Okay, you should also pay attention to your health.
The weather is cold, don’t catch a cold..."
"Good grandma, um, I'm dead."
At this point, I felt my voice suddenly choked up.
That kind of emotion came so suddenly, so spontaneously.
I think it was really hard for my grandma to raise me.
When I go this time, I don’t know whether I will live or die.
I really don’t know if I can come back or if I can provide for her until her death.
But I can't say it, I can't tell grandma the truth.
I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it, and I'm afraid she'll be worried about me.
After saying that, I hung up the phone in a hurry.
Uncle Master and Lao Mo were both nearby.
He also heard me making a phone call and saw that I was a little excited.
Uncle Master didn't say anything. Lao Mo patted me on the shoulder:
"It's okay, it's just a soul stone!
My master is here.
I, the exorcists, will join forces to bring back any stone for him."
What Lao Mo said made me feel more relaxed.
Nod.
Uncle Master also said:
"Let's go! There's a three-wheeler over there. Let's take a ride there."
Lao Mo and I both nodded and walked towards the three-wheeler.
It was a modified tricycle operated by disabled people, and it had a logo.
It is still common in ordinary towns and villages.
After getting on the bus, the uncle said to the middle-aged brother:
"Master, go to Heishui Mountain."
The middle-aged brother was stunned and said:
"Going to Heishui Mountain again, are you going to Heishui Temple?
I've made three trips today.
They all go to see Blackwater!”
Heishui Temple is a small Taoist temple in Heishui Mountain.
This is also the gathering place where all the Taoist sects gather.
Uncle Master nodded:
"Well, Blackwater View."
Driver Yile:
"Is Blackwater Temple holding any kind of conference recently?"
The master asked while starting the vehicle.
Lao Mo and I didn't talk.
Uncle Master smiled and replied:
"Yes! There is a conference and we are all believers and we are going to offer incense."
"Oh, no wonder."
The driver didn't take it easy and just kept chatting with the uncle.
It took more than 40 minutes to drive the three-wheeler, which was bumpy all the way. I got out of the car and pushed the car twice before we got to the place.
The master pointed to a large mountain in front and said:
"The Blackwater Temple you want to go to is on the mountain. I can't drive up to it, so you can just go up the mountain road yourself.
We'll be there in twenty minutes at most."
We got off the bus one by one and paid the fare.
After thanking the driver, he turned around and walked towards Heishui Mountain...
