Chapter 147 Finding a Theater
The Eighteen Arhats, who were originally a little excited, now lowered their heads one by one, as if they had done something wrong.
Chi Xia glanced at Luo Xun and saw that his face darkened when he saw Heizi's hand.
Heizi was the one who cared the least. He turned around and smiled flatteringly: "Brother Xun, then I will make the arrangements?"
"Go ahead."
Luo Xun took out Uncle Ding's note and said, "Also, ask the two brothers to buy all these things and send them to the old man who is helping with the autopsy."
Heizi took a look and said: "Wow, the old man is quite good at making things. He has a bright future."
Luo Xun laughed and slapped him: "Okay, hurry up, we'll wait for you here."
Heizi immediately received the order and waved his hand. The Eighteen Arhats bowed to Luo Xun and Chi Xia, and followed Heizi away.
"It's hot, get in the car and wait."
Luo Xun turned around and saw Chi Xia's face was a little red from the sun, so he turned sideways to block the sun.
Chi Xia opened the car door and went in: "Heizi's hand, did you cut it yourself?"
"Um."
Luo Xun was looking for something. "This group of people has complicated family situations. They were trained as pickpockets since they were young. Heizi was the most promising one among them. He was also the leader of these people. He had a younger brother who was very close to him. He failed to steal anything, so the boss cut off two of his fingers. It was because of this that Heizi managed to make some noise. The boss went to jail, and he stayed there for three years."
"After getting out, Heizi went back to his old ways?" Chi Xia asked.
"When the leader and he went to jail, these little guys became a mess. When he came out, these people had a leader again, and he couldn't find anything to make a living, so inevitably, they went back to this business."
Luo Xun finally found what he was looking for and handed it to her: "It ended up in my hands. The reason they stole that time was because his brother, whose finger was cut off by the leader, became ill and needed a large sum of money for treatment. I asked him to return the stolen items to the owner and raised some money with my master to cover the cost of his surgery, but his brother still died. From that time on, he was completely reformed."
Chi Xia listened and looked at the brand new tube of sunscreen he handed over: "Did you buy this?"
"Um."
Luo Xun looked calm: "You almost used up the tube last time, I think it's pretty good, I did some research and bought another one, it's genuine, you can use it with confidence."
Chi Xia unscrewed the lid, her face still red: "Captain Luo, do you know the authentic ones?"
"Captain Luo is straightforward but not stupid."
Luo Xun looked at his face in the rearview mirror and said, "Do you think I should put some paint on my face as well? If I become as dark as Heizi, I won't be able to get the title of Police Grass this year."
"I think this is a good reason." Chi Xia leaned forward: "All for two thousand yuan."
Luo Xun smeared a layer of it on his face with peace of mind.
"But..." Chi Xia immediately realized the problem: "But Captain Luo, why are you looking for the sunscreen you bought in my car?"
Luo Xun leaned back and said, "I was hoping you could see it yourself, but it's been a few days now and I don't think you can see it anymore. You might as well take it out yourself."
Chi Xia: ...
After wiping her arm, she smiled and brought the topic back to the topic: "Since you have turned over a new leaf, why is Heizi still picking on you?"
"He has turned over a new leaf, but his brothers haven't. In order to intimidate them, the silly kid took action on himself first. The effect... you've seen it, it's not in vain. He has no parents, but he treats these brothers as his own brothers."
Chi Xia saw Heizi appear in his field of vision carrying a few bags and sighed: "Although Heizi is very loyal and kind, Ge Jingyi will not like him."
"Did she tell you?" Luo Xun asked.
"That shameless, heartless, and heartless man of hers is dead outside... Is she a heartless man who will never be forgiven even if she dies?"
Chi Xia recalled the descriptions Ge Jingyi used to describe her beloved and said, "Well, she did. She said that if she continued talking, she would want to smash something and hit two people. She stopped with difficulty and asked you to tell me."
"Then I'll talk to you later." Luo Xun opened the door and prepared to get out of the car: "You don't have to get out, we'll be there soon."
Chi Xia agreed and didn't get out of the car.
She watched through the car window as Luo Xun and Heizi walked towards the funeral home together. Heizi smiled with his face tilted to the side, revealing a row of white teeth.
Chi Xia looked away and suddenly felt quite sad.
Luo Xun and Heizi gave Uncle Ding some snacks and wine, and handed her a bag when getting in the car: "These are rain boots, change into them later, it may be difficult to walk to Xiaoyezi Slope."
Chi Xia greeted Heizi and said, "Okay."
Their car will first stop at a main road intersection, and then take the side road to enter.
When you reach the end of the path, the view suddenly opens up.
A large river beach appeared in front of them. The river water was rushing and the water was yellow and turbid. Some crops were planted on the upper level of the river beach.
Some low-lying crops have been flooded.
The main crops in Dongzhou are wheat and corn. The entire river beach is deserted, with only large green corn leaves and the muddy yellow of the shallows visible.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but the corn leaves seemed to be moving without wind. The empty and silent environment was suddenly cut off from the hustle and bustle on the road outside, and there was an eerie feeling.
A familiar feeling of uneasiness about the unknown slowly rose in Chi Xia's heart.
Chi Xia frowned slightly. She really didn't like the feeling this place gave her.
Luo Xun also felt a little uncomfortable. He looked around and said, "No wonder this is a holy place for explorers."
Heizi put on his rain boots and said, "It's been dry these years, and the riverbank only has a little water. You should have felt it, this place is very weird."
"Is that a cemetery?" Chi Xia pointed across the river. Among the swaying shadows of the trees, some tombstones could be seen lined up.
"right."
Heizi said, "Most of the villagers' ancestral graves are over there. It's only during the worship season that it gets lively. Locals rarely come here, except for the rebellious kids. Anyway, they get beaten every time they go back."
"It's a good feng shui." Chi Xia suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
Heizi laughed and said, "Anyway, all kinds of weird stories have been spread. It's said that people who came to do farm work saw a female ghost in red clothes, or some ghost fire, and there was also a story that a strong man watched the watermelon field here all night and died the next day. Oh, anyway, I don't believe it. There are not so many weird things in this world. They are all meant to scare children."
"This is what unpopulated places are like," Luo Xun said. "Standing alone in an empty temple feels the same as standing alone here."
Chi Xia smiled: "Captain Luo, don't say that, what you said is quite reasonable."
"Isn't it?" Heizi also said, "So the villagers here all make an appointment to come together to do farm work. With some popularity, they are not so scary."
"In the final analysis, it's all about the fear of the unknown and the reality of one's own heart."
Luo Xun clapped his hands: "Let's go, Heizi, lead the way."
The three of them put on their rain boots, and Heizi picked up three branches that could be used as crutches and led them towards Onozi Slope.
Heizi walked in front, Chixia in the middle, and Luo Xun at the end.
To get to the theater, the road was not as steep and difficult as they had imagined. After all, the danger of this adventure mainly lay in the mystery of the abandoned theater, and had little to do with the road conditions.
Mainly because of the rain, the path became even more muddy, so it was more difficult for the three people to walk.
Chi Xia and Luo Xun were fine. Crawling in the mud and running in the mud with sandbags tied to their bodies were commonplace for Chi Xia a few years ago.
But what surprised Chi Xia was that Luo Xun seemed to be in a slightly better condition than hers.
The only one crying and wailing the whole time was the black guy who came to lead the way.
After another layer of mud had accumulated on Heizi's butt, Luo Xun sighed and said, "Okay, stop. I'll go to the front and you go to the back."
When Heizi walked to the back aggrievedly, Chi Xia grabbed him again: "You stay here, I'll go to the back."
Heizi stopped in the middle blankly. Luo Xun turned around and looked past him at Chi Xia: "Be careful."
Chi Xia made an OK gesture.
After changing positions, Heizi inexplicably discovered that they were moving forward much faster than before, and what made him even more gratified was that he never fell on his butt again due to slipping.
When the sweat on his forehead had accumulated into two layers, Luo Xun stopped, exhaled and said, "We're here."
Chi Xia walked up and saw in front of them the so-called theater that everyone had always talked about.
Perhaps it wasn’t really a theater.
