The Recovery Of Terror: Signing In From Being A City God

After looking at the little boy for a while, the old man withdrew his gaze, "Tian'er..."

He murmured the child's baby name in his mouth, and his cloudy old eyes were full of memories.

This is the name of his child who was abducted by human traffickers. For decades, he has been looking for his own child, but no matter how hard he looks, he can't find it.

sixty years ago.

He and his wife took Tian'er out to play. Because of their negligence, Tian'er was taken away by traffickers. When they reacted, they searched and called the police, but they couldn't find Tian'er.

Tian'er likes playing with puppies the most, and the old man remembers it very clearly.

The old man walked to the Temple of the City God.

He came today to pray for the safety of his wife Huilan who was getting weaker and weaker, and he also planned to ask for a talisman.

Holding the prepared three sticks of incense, he walked up to the Statue of the City God and worshiped, with pious words in his mouth, "Master City God, bless us to find Tian'er, and bless Huilan to get well soon, and Tian'er to be able to recover soon." Healthy body.

His words were short, not as many words and wishes as other people prayed.

Ten minutes later.

The old man made a round of obeisance, he put the incense into the incense burner, and then walked straight to the lottery place.

"Can you give me a lottery. Seeing that the temple fair personnel are going to give the lottery bucket as usual, the old man's wrinkled face has a pleading look, "I don't ask for a lottery, I want a lottery. We can find the child's lottery soon." . "

"Um?"

The staff of the temple fair froze... directly asking for a specific lottery?

At this moment he froze.

This is the first time he has heard such a request to sign. When other people ask for a lottery, it is a chance draw, but this person is not asking for a lottery, this is directly asking for a lottery.

"Find the child's lottery?" At this time, Sun Hai and Lao Li's temple fair staff all paid attention.

There was an embarrassing expression on the old man's face.

He looked at the temple fair staff, "Is this breaking the rules? If so, forget it."

"There is no such thing as a bad rule." Sun Hai looked at the old man, "Ask for a lottery is to ask for a chance, this lottery is just a piece of paper, not worth a lot of money, you can also ask for a specific lottery, but brother …Well, I see you are older than me, so it’s okay for me to call you brother, brother, what do you mean by looking for a child just now? Can you tell me more specifically? "

heard the words.

The old man nodded, and he took out a photo from his pocket.

This movement is very smooth and quick, it seems that he has done this movement a lot in his life, so many that he can't count it.

"My name is Tian Fufu." The old man first introduced himself, the name is very common, with a strong sense of naming by the older generation, "This is my child, his name is Li Tian, ​​and his nickname is Tian'er.

Then the old man pointed at the photo, his movements were still so familiar, and he said a set of words that he often said.

Seeing this, everyone looked at it.

It is a new photo that can be seen.

And this photo is another very old, old photo that has gone through the years. It was a black and white photo before. It showed a little boy with no special features.

...Tian'er was abducted by human traffickers 60 years ago. My wife and I searched for 60 years but couldn't find Tian'er. During this time, Huilan was ill. Tomorrow is Huilan's birthday. I think Come here to ask for a lottery for Huilan, saying that we can find Tian'er's photo as soon as possible to make Huilan happy. "

The old man spoke in a very orderly manner, explaining clearly the situation before and after the group situation word by word.

Listen to the words.

Sun Hai and the others looked at the photo and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother, have you searched for sixty years ago and still haven't found any clues? Have you ever asked those organizations that help people? I remember that there are some well-meaning charities that specialize in this."

Old Li spoke.

Others were also in agreement, saying that there was a similar organization where they could find it, and they subconsciously gave directions to help.

Tian Fufeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We have looked for everything that should be found."

Over the years, they have tried everything they could think of, looking for organizations, publishing newspapers, and even going on those family-hunting programs. They got a lot of clues, but they were all useless.

For sixty years, he and Huilan never gave up looking for them. They didn't have another child. It's not that they didn't want to. He had a physical problem. It was a miracle that he could give birth to Tian'er. I go out to ask people during the holidays, and when I get old and retire, I continue to find people with the money I save.

As soon as they have a clue, they will take a long-distance train to the target city to find it. They have been numb these years, but they did not give up in the end.

When they saw the experience of abducted children on TV and newspapers, they were afraid, afraid that the fields would not be good, and they would be amputated by human traffickers and asked to be beggars for money. Human traffickers always come here like this, and they are not in the team at all.

Over the years, they have saved some money, but after retirement, the money saved is getting less and less, and they spend a lot to find someone, no matter how frugal they are, it still doesn't work.

In order to find clues, they also spent money.

There are also three times when scammers specialize in defrauding money.

Only one of the three times of defrauding money was reported to the police and the money was recovered, and the remaining two times were not found.

Seeing Tian Fufeng's expression, everyone fell silent.

Words are few.

There are only a few words, but they can hear the bitterness in it.

They haven’t given up searching for sixty years. Can they do it? Maybe they gave up halfway. It’s not that they are cold-blooded, but sixty years can change too many things.

If Tian'er is still there, sold to a wealthy family, or a small family, and has his own life, then he should have a grandson at the age of sixty.

If Tian'er met cruel human traffickers, became disabled, died decades ago, and is no longer there...then how painful these sixty years of persistence will be.

To find or not to find?

々" Sun Hai didn't speak.

He got up and went to the shelf where the paper tickets were placed, looked for them one by one, and finally stopped at the paper ticket No. 68.

Taking out the lottery paper, Sun Hai walked over and handed it to Tian Fufu, "This is a wishful lottery. If someone is asking for a child, if you get the lottery, you can find the child within three years."

"Thank you." Tian Fufeng took the signed paper.

He looked at the above words such as "Zhongji", "the right time, the right place and the harmony of people", "like the flaws of beautiful jade, there is no defense against heaven and elegance".

Immediately, he put the red lottery paper and photo into his pocket.

Tian Fufu looked at Sun Hai and the others, thanked them again, politely said a word to everyone, and walked away with old steps.

"Human traffickers really deserve to die."

Lao Li watched Tian Fufu leave and cursed directly.

Everyone nodded.

"Yeah, I heard that the human traffickers in the old days abducted children and sold their organs directly. I don't know if it's true."

"Human traffickers should be sentenced to life imprisonment, no, the death penalty.

"It's better if you don't have a period. If you enter it, you will be blasted."

Several young members who came to the temple fair to help spoke one after another, nodding frequently in agreement with each other's statement.

"What is a popping chrysanthemum?" Lao Li was taken aback.

Before the young man was embarrassed and thought about how to answer, Lao Li looked at Sun Hai and said again, "Sun Hai, why didn't you find the child's lottery this year? Find it within three years, and it's still the same position, it's the lottery of China and Kyrgyzstan, right?" If you don’t give a lottery to the one you found this year, it’s fine if you give it a lottery.”

Both Lao Li and Sun Hai are one of the few people in the temple fair who know how to interpret lottery. As for the lottery that Sun Hai took, he immediately knew the approximate position of the lottery.

"If I get lucky and get a lottery, it will be harmful." Sun Hai was speechless.

"Um?"

Lao Li was stunned, and the others were also stunned. Is this harmful?

Sun Hai looked at the entrance of the temple, the direction Tian Fufu left, "That old man looks energetic, but that doesn't mean he's young, his hair is white and thin, his face is weather-beaten, and his walking movements... ...I guess it's not been a few years.

His wife is estimated to be about the same age as him, and now she is sick again, and her situation will not be much better than that of her elder brother. I will give him three years, so that she will have hope. You will give him this year, but if he does not find it this year, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. You know, this year has passed, and the child has not been found, what do you think will happen?"

Lao Li was silent, and everyone was also silent.

They understood what Sun Hai meant.

Three years, to young people, three years is nothing, just say it, but to Tian Fufu and others, three years is very precious, and to them, three years is actually a long time.

"Well, I didn't expect that." Lao Li shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Speaking of which, we haven't had a good life for a few years."

"You can pull it off. Last year, the neighborhood committee checked the papers for free. You and I went to the hospital. If you get the checkup, you can live for ten or twenty years without any problem."

Sun Hai was speechless, and directly interrupted Lao Li to sigh, "You are well, don't sigh, anyway, if you get up early and exercise with me, you can live another twenty years without any problem.

The members of the temple fair over there smiled.

And beside them, the figure of An Yuyuan appeared at some time.

As early as when he saw Tian Fufu, he had paid attention to this old man and followed him into the temple.

"Looking for a child..."

An Yuyuan whispered.

While speaking, he looked down at the pinching hexagram he had calculated, and murmured slightly, "The person is already dead.

He calculated the whereabouts of "Tian'er" that Tian Fufu said, and died in an accident shortly after being abducted by human traffickers, and did not survive at all.

...was doomed from the start.

An Yuyuan was silent.

Then An Yuyuan pinched his fingers and calculated again, he wanted to calculate the future of the two of them.

After a while, An Yuyuan frowned, and said what he had calculated.

"Chen Huilan...tomorrow, at 7:00pm, the omen of death.....the end of life...."

Tian Fufu brought the signing paper.

He took the bus to go back to his own city, Nanming City.

He is from Nanming City. The day before yesterday, he heard from other elderly people in the nursing home that Cang City City God’s Temple was effective, so he came here today to pray for his wife Huilan’s health, for Tian’er’s health, and for them to find Tian’er.

Today, after he came to Cangshi to pray, he took the lottery and planned to go back.

"Master, is this the way to take the bus?" Tian Fufeng got on the bus when he came, and asked the master who drove the bus.

"Yes." The master driving the bus said concisely.

Hearing this, Tian Fu said thank you.

He saw that there were still vacant seats in the car, so he walked over and sat down.

After sitting down.

Tian Fufeng picked up the sign paper, looked at the words on it, and rubbed the sign paper with his old and wrinkled fingers.

He and Huilan went to look for Tian'er, went to every place, as long as the conditions allowed, they would go to worship temples, hoping to find Tian'er, this has gradually become their way of life

And as more temples entered, more and more lotteries were asked for. After so many years, they also gradually understood the content on the lottery paper and knew how to solve the lottery. Tian'er's lottery paper, Huilan can understand, take other lottery, if it is a lottery, he can't take it out.

"I'm going back to buy a flower." Looking at the scenery passing by the car window, Tian Fufu saw a flower shop.

Two hours later.

Tian Fufu returned to Nanming City.

He went into the flower shop and bought a flower, which was Huilan's favorite rose.

"I'm so old

Roses..." Tian Fufeng looked at the flowers in his hand and laughed at himself.

Although he was laughing at himself, his face was full of joy, "Boss, please wrap it up for me, by the way, how can I keep this until tomorrow so it won't break."

"Grandpa, this flower will not spoil tomorrow, just put it as usual, if you want it fresher, then sprinkle a little water on it." The young female storekeeper smiled, she looked at Rose and then at Tian Fufu,

Grandpa, are you going to buy this for grandma?"

Tian Fufeng nodded.

With a smile on his face, "Tomorrow is her birthday.

"Grandpa, you really love grandma. If only you were so romantic in our family."

The female shopkeeper expressed envy.

Immediately she wrapped it neatly, and handed the flowers to Tian Fufu, "I wrapped the flowers for you, and I will give you another flower, I wish grandpa good health and a long life.

"Hey, thank you, this..." Tian Fufu didn't expect such a thing.

The female shopkeeper asked Tian Fufu to take the flowers.

Women are inherently emotional. After seeing Tian Fufu's feelings for his wife, she felt touched and gave this flower. This flower was not given because she knew how to do business. "Song is because she is very fond of it."

I was moved so I expressed it to the flower.

"Grandpa, I gave this to you. You can come here often in the future. We have all kinds of flowers in our shop. If you want, I can find them for you." She had a small round face with a smile on her face.

Then she saw Tian Fufu and nodded, expressing that she would definitely do so, with an even better smile.

Looking at the back of Tian Fufu leaving.

"Grandma must be very happy." The female shopkeeper said softly, and the next moment she glanced at her husband who was carrying flowers. He was good at everything, but he was not romantic.

But she was also satisfied.

With a happy smile on her round face, she continued to greet the new guests, speaking fluently.

Nanming Tongshan Nursing Home.

This is the 'home' of Tian Fuli and Chen Huilan.

They are old, because they have no children, and because their deeds are touching, the TV station has broadcast it, and the government has arranged this nursing home for them, so that it is convenient for someone to take care of them.

Grandpa Tian, ​​you are back. A female nurse at the gate of the nursing home was cleaning, looking at Tian Fufu and smiling.

She looked at the flowers in Tian Fufu's hand, and smiled even more on her face, "Is this a birthday present for Grandma Chen?"

Chen Huilan's birthday is tomorrow.

This is something that all nurses in nursing homes know, and they all know about birthdays.

If conditions permit, they will hold a small birthday party, but Tian Fufu says no every time, it will cost money, so don't bother.

"Yes." Tian Fufu walked into the nursing home, thinking of Huilan's situation and asked, "Has Huilan woke up?"

When the female nurse heard this, her expression darkened and she shook her head slightly.

Grandma Chen is one of the old people here. The nurses and volunteers in the nursing home know about Grandpa Tian's deeds.

Grandma Chen is getting old, and her health is getting worse and worse. This year, Grandma Chen can't get out of bed, and she spends most of the day sleeping. They all know that Grandma Chen will not live long.

If you can live for a few days, it is a few days.

"No."

Hearing this, Tian Fufu nodded and walked towards his room, "I'll go see her.

His room is a triple room.

He and Huilan lived there, and there was another old man, but the old man passed away the year before last, and the bed was always vacant, so the room now belongs to two people.

in the room.

An old man was lying on the bed by the window. She was covered with a quilt and slept peacefully.

Tian Fufeng had a smile on his face.

"Hui Lan, I'm back."

the next day.

Five thirty in the afternoon.

An Yuyuan stood still in the Temple of the Town God, listening to the wishes of the pilgrims.

这时,他视线落向一个年轻爸爸暴揍调皮的自家娃儿,小孩子爱玩,把庙内摆放好的烛台扯下来,在地上摔碎了。

The child was crying, and the young father was beating him ruthlessly, which made An Yuyuan's heart ache.

But he felt distressed, and he was happy to see it.

This child is indeed skinny. Among the children he has seen, the skinny child can be ranked in the top ten. This kind of child should have a longer memory when he is young. Beating is kissing and scolding is love. This sentence says

It is the education of parents to their children.

"When I was young, I tied my hands and feet until I grow up to be sensible." An Yuyuan thought of some old words.

After watching for a while.

An Yuyuan looked at the time on the clock.

Immediately, he glanced at the child who had been beaten by the young father and then taught him a lesson, smiled and shook his head, and with one step, the figure disappeared in place.

"Tongshan Nursing Home in Nanming City."

The person disappeared, and there was a soft murmur on the spot [carrying a package in the wind and dissipating invisible.

After a while.

An Yuyuan's figure appeared in front of the gate of Tongshan Nursing Home. (Qian Zhao)

A male nurse was sweeping the floor, bending over to sweep up the garbage, at this moment, he heard a voice, "Excuse me, which room Tian Fufu is in.

"Tian Fufu? Grandpa Tian, ​​he's on the 11th." The male nurse stood up with a smile and looked behind him.

The next moment he froze.

There was no one behind, but there was the whistling of the wind, and the fallen leaves were blown down.

The male nurse looked back and forth.

"Didn't someone ask me just now?" He was stunned and turned his head.

He looked around and couldn't help muttering, "Hearing hallucinations? Or some bastard playing tricks on me.

Inside the nursing home.

An Yuyuan didn't choose to teleport, he paced around the courtyard.

Walking in halls, corridors, passing group rooms...

He saw some old people like urchins, arguing not to take medicine, and some old people talking to people, smiling happily, showing mouths with few teeth.

"Children are born without teeth, buckle the wrong buttons, wear clothes backwards, or have a runny nose and sneeze. When people grow old and have no teeth, they button the wrong buttons, wear clothes reversed, or have a runny nose and sneeze.

In the face of family members becoming more and more like children, they are children when they are young, and they are also 'children' when they are old. A cycle starts from a child, goes through a lifetime, and returns to a child. The beginning is also the end

An Yuyuan thought of what a Wangnian friend said a long time ago.

He said that an old man is like a child, and the beginning and end of a person is a reincarnation.

Treat elderly parents with love and care. The elderly need our care and care. When they were young, they took care of you. Now you have grown up to take care of them.

This is a sentence that Wang Nian, who has a good relationship with him, once said. They talked about this issue for a day and talked at length.

After walking for a while.

An Yuyuan stopped at the door cabinet of a room.

Looking up at the glass on the door, you can see the scene in the room, three white beds, the window curtains fluctuate slightly with the autumn wind, the afternoon sun is shining, and it is warm.

Tian Fufu was sitting by the bed by the window, holding a book and reading the words from the book to the person lying on the bed.

Open the book.

the last page.

Tian Fufu will read Journey to the West to Huilan when he has time, and now he is saying the last sentence: "Dongqian Wusheng will come true"

...but then there is a huge gap between the selection of scholars and officials in the Buddhist field and the selection of scholars and officials from the imperial family?" He was reading a book, looking at the last text bit by bit, he saw lie down

Huilan on the bed said, "Huilan, I'm done talking about Journey to the West.
