The same restlessness, the same restlessness, the same boredom.

After a moment of silence, the uninvited village chief removed the hat from his head and removed a cigarette from the waistband of his trousers.

After filling the tobacco bottle with tobacco, the old village chief sat on the ground.

"If you don't answer, I can see from your faces, Xu Qiang, this son of a bitch, seems to be really dead, it's good to die, this white-eyed wolf, he should have died a long time ago. ”

After the village chief said this to us, he took care of himself and lit his dry tobacco.

"You're guessing wrong, we raised these insects to honor the Gu worms I told you. It turns out that I didn't know that this thing was called a Gu worm, but I only knew the name of this thing from your mouth. ”

Hearing the words of the village chief, I was about to ask him, but I was suddenly stopped by Qin Yue's eyes.

Seeing Qin Yue's eyes, my heart was also sudden.

Because I saw that the village chief had begun to enter his own state, and if I had suddenly interrupted him at this time, perhaps there would have been something that we would have to say only if we asked him.

If that's the case, it's not very effective, and the self-report is far more revealing than being asked.

"Let's talk about how I know Xu Qiang. This Xu Qiang was met by my eldest son when he went to the county seat once, my eldest son is honest, but this Xu Qiang is very clever, and his stomach is full of bad water. ”

"When my eldest son brought Xu Qiang, a cub, back to our mountains for the first time, I saw that this son didn't have any kindness to my eldest son at all. ”

As the old chief said these words to us, I saw the old chief put his hand into his robe.

After fumbling in the robe for a while, he stretched out his hand from the robe.

I saw that the old village chief seemed to have taken something out of his robe, but I couldn't see it clearly because of my vision.

"That's it. ”

As a jingling bell suddenly dispersed through the mud house, I saw a copper ball the size of a palm roll at my feet.

The copper ball was thrown to the ground by the old village chief and rolled to my feet.

"If it weren't for the fact that my eldest son carried this thing on his waist when he entered the county seat, he wouldn't have led Xu Qiang's son of a bitch to our village. ”

As the ball rolled to my feet, we all looked down at the ball that rolled to my feet.

The copper ball is a real copper ball, and although it is rusty on it, it can't hide the fact that it is a copper ball.

But what caught my attention was not the copper ball itself, but the lines on the surface of the copper ball.

At first glance, it looks like it's natural, but I know it's not.

Qin Yue had already bent down to pick up the copper ball, and at the same time that Qin Yue picked up the copper ball from the ground, I heard a jingling bell in the copper body of the copper ball.

Vacuum? Is this copper ball vacuum? Actually, it's a bell?

"If I'm not mistaken, this copper bell should be a tool used to send signals or instructions to Gu worms. ”

The words that Qin Yue said to us confirmed the guess in my heart.

"Can you tell which dynasty it is?"

Gou Tang also asked Qin Yue as soon as Qin Yue's words fell.

"This is very difficult, this special copper bell is not recorded in the historical documents, but as far as this bronze itself is concerned, the casting process of this bronze is quite rough, I just compared this bronze with the bronze casting process of previous dynasties, and came to the conclusion that this bronze, whether it is its refining process and production process, can not be compared with the bronze casting art of the Shang Dynasty. ”

However, the lines on the copper body of this copper bell are extremely delicate and delicate, and this delicacy and delicacy cannot be achieved even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. ”

Although I was very shocked to hear it, I still followed Qin Yue's words and looked at the pattern carved on the copper bell again.

The volume of this copper bell is only the size of the palm of the hand, and the lines engraved on it are like clouds and rivers, as if they were embroidered with embroidery method one by one.

The clouds and rivers are lifelike, but the key is that the ripples engraved on this copper bell are also lifelike.

Lifelike to ingenious.

This spiral-like ripple is none other than ripples on the water.

It's like the kind of ripples that form on the surface of the water after a stone is thrown straight into the water.

"Xu Qiang came to our village with my eldest son when he saw the bell hanging on my eldest son's waist. ”

The old village chief's voice sounded out very inopportunely.

And I also blurted out after hearing the old village chief's words: "Are there many copper bells? I mean there are many such copper bells in your village?"

"Many, why not much, every household in our village has several of these things. ”

Hearing the words of the old village chief, not only me, but even Qin Yue and the others lowered their eyes to look at the old village chief sitting on the ground.

Under the attention of all of us, the old village chief continued to say to us: "When Xu Qiang's dog cub left the village, my eldest son gave Xu Qiang's dog cub more than a dozen of these things. ”

"But this Xu Qiang has not been gone for half a month before he came to our village again, if I had known that Xu Qiang came to my eldest son this time because of that matter, I just fought for this old life and did not let my three sons go with Xu Qiang. ”

"Which thing?"

After the old village chief said this sentence to us viciously, I also hurriedly asked the old village chief about it.

"Which thing? That's the thing, this Xu Qiang, a king and a lamb, actually hit the idea of the fairy palace. It's also strange to me that those three things that don't make it happen, if they hadn't told Xu Qiang, how would Xu Qiang have known about the fairy palace in our village?"

Asgard?

Hearing the old village chief say this word, the nine of us also looked at each other deeply.

"Big brother, can you be specific?"

Uncle Cheng walked up to the old village chief and put a cigarette on the old village chief.

"Don't call me Big Brother, Big Brother, I don't know you well, and, don't be close to me, why am I here? Why did I settle you here? Don't pretend to be confused. ”

Uncle Cheng touched his nose and walked back with a disgraced face.

"The death of my three sons, as well as the death of his daughter-in-law and the doll, as well as the dog baby buried in the mountain today, and the many dolls who died in my village before, their deaths have nothing to do with this fairy palace. ”

"Let me just ask, if I told you, would you dare to go to the Asgard Palace?"

The old village chief asked us this sentence with a tone of agitation and anger.

"The two rocks that Xu Qiang sold, the Gu jars that your three sons brought to Sun Liansheng's restaurant for dinner, were they brought out from the immortal palace you said. ”

Qin Yue did not answer the old village chief's words, but asked the old village chief with a serious face.

"That's right, it's a drop, the ancestral precept that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Wengtou Village is to let us send these insects we raised to the outside of the Thirteen Ditch every time the fairy palace appears, saying that every time the fairy palace appears, it is when the fairy insects living in the fairy palace need to absorb the earth's qi. ”

"I never knew that these fairy insects would kill people, that time, I went, I saw this doll crouching on the ground crying vigorously, I made my throat cry hoarse, this doll's leg was also broken when chasing those who came to investigate. ”

"Although my three sons are also dead, they don't believe what this doll said to those who came to investigate, I believe it. ”

The eyes on the jar opened, and a lot of black bugs flew out of the eyes, and the doll said that it was the bugs that flew out of the eyes that killed all the people in the restaurant, and they all thought the doll was crazy. ”

The old village chief had already stood up from the ground when he said this to us, and looked at Sun Liansheng, who had been standing beside me without making a sound.

Looking at Sun Liansheng, the old village chief said to Sun Liansheng in a sad and convinced tone: "But I know—"

"I know he's not crazy about this doll. ”
