Chapter 14: An Encounter in the Dark
The night stretches along with the gaze, and occasionally a light breeze blows the surrounding leaves, mixed with the wailing of lonely birds. The road was still as wide and rudimentary as before, the road was full of clods, stones, and withered branches, there was no lighting on the side of the road, and the only light they could borrow came from the moon and the flashlight in their hands. Elder He had already stumbled twice, but it was not because he couldn't see the road clearly, although Boss Wang was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his walk was a little staggering, he still refused to slow down—he didn't have the fear that Elder He had in his heart. Strictly speaking, he was not a staunch atheist when he was born here, but only when his business was successful or broken would he show his belief in the gods, such as asking someone to turn over the yellow calendar and measure feng shui. After being in the city for so long, he couldn't talk about being afraid of any ghosts and gods. What he believes is that only people, people with brains, votes, and prestige are truly worthy of being feared by others.
"Let it go—let it go—I—!" A faint call came from nowhere, frightening Boss Wang and Elder He to freeze in place. The two of them glanced at each other, and they heard it right, it was not the sound of the wind or the chirping of birds, it was the sound of a young man trembling! "It's already halfway up the mountain, and after walking more than 300 meters, you will reach the original cave entrance. Boss, listening to the little girl's description last time, the shadow that came through the wall through the back door looked too much like Guan Yingcai, and claimed that he was too tired to climb out of the back cave and asked her to help him. Aren't we ...... now" "Don't scare yourself!" Boss Wang shook the flashlight at the road in front of him, "You didn't hear clearly, did you? It wasn't Guan Yingcai's voice at all just now! How thick his voice was, he was a little white face when he heard that voice just now!"
"Spare me!" "Little White Face" "Speak" again. Elder He's heart was up and down, but seeing Boss Wang striding forward, he had no choice but to follow up. In the next 300 meters or so, the creepy sounds of "let go of me" and "spare me " came and went, and the closer you got to the "original hole," the louder the sound became.
"Bastard, who's pretending to be a ghost there, come out to Lao Tzu!" Boss Wang concentrated on judging the source of the voice, and pulled Elder He to jump to the entrance of the cave. When the flashlight flashed, there was no one there? I saw a small speaker standing there! The speaker was connected to an MP3 through a data cable interface, and the power cable was modified and connected to a storage battery. The whole set is fixed on a steep dirt road, which looks very delicate, and the recorded sound is obviously high-fidelity, as if it can be achieved with professional film and television recording equipment. Boss Wang stepped forward and kicked the equipment to the ground, but the playback device did not stop, "Let it go, I...... Spare me!" The cry of the little white face was distorted and became even more poignant.
"Didn't you find this thing during the day?" Boss Wang pointed to the speaker that he turned over, and asked Elder He angrily. "This ...... It seems like it's hers. Could it be that the movement that night was also caused by this play......? But there's really no such thing during the day! I've been here before, and I've seen it carefully......."
"Boss Wang, he's right. It's not here during the day!" A rough, deep voice stabbed from behind the two like arrows.
"Who?" Boss Wang quickly turned around. Elder He shone a flashlight and saw an old man of medium stature, half-white hair, wearing a camouflage shirt and blue jeans, walking unhurriedly with steady steps.
"Where did you come from, don't come here, or the old immortal law will serve you!" Elder He roared boldly. Boss Wang saw that this person was walking steadily on the gravel road, so he straightened up and raised his head and asked, "Who are you?" The man stopped more than thirty meters away from them and said with a smile: "At this time, you should ask 'what are you going to do'." ”
Boss Wang stared at him tightly and didn't say a word. "Even if you don't ask, I'm about to tell you. The man continued, "Simply put, we're here to make you pay for what happened back then!" "You?" Before Elder He could finish speaking, a black shadow rose on the slope above his head, and he jumped to the side of the old master and stood firmly. He turned on the flashlight, and the blinding light shone for a moment, vaguely illuminating the faces of the two men, one was Xing Tian in jeans and a tight T-shirt, and the other was the master of the copy shop who praised Li Weiwei at the bottom of the mountain, and he was still wearing the faded sports jacket and the rough blue jeans.
"What are you talking about?what??," Boss Wang sneered. "Wang Zhizi, are you pretending to be confused, or are you doing too much evil, I can't remember what happened to me?" The old master's face suddenly became stern, "Let me remind you: Four years ago, on this mountain, in this Xiangyang Temple, which was still a construction site at that time, in front of the closed cave behind you, what good did you, the so-called Elder He, his two nephews He Yu and He Lin, and maybe a few of your other subordinates, do?"
"What's the good thing? Oh...... Oh, it's a good thing, I'm asking them to accompany me and organize workers to build Xiangyang Temple in this place, to do this good thing for the people here. ”
"Hmph, presumably one day at that time, for this good thing, your boss Wang also hurried back from the city like today, and went straight to this barren mountain and wilderness, right?" the old master came up with a cynical tone, which was what he was best at facing the people he hated.
"What are you kidding, I'm coming back this time because there are some small things in our Xiangyang Temple that I need to deal with. ”
"Is it?, if you don't touch the ghost fetus in your heart, what little thing can help you!" Xingtian's voice was like thunder, shaking Boss Wang and Elder He at a loss for a while. The old master also said coldly: "Wang Zhizi, in front of us, you'd better not overestimate yourself!"
Boss Wang took a deep breath, took a step forward, and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you." Some people say that there have been thieves coming to Xiangyang Temple recently, so I came to check it out in person today. Now I bumped into a few of you, it seems that I was stealing chickens and dogs while it was dark, and we found out, right?"
The old master laughed: "Thief, hahaha! We were about to talk about this old disguise, but we didn't expect you to fight it again." Do you want to treat us as Guan Yingcai?"
"Oh?" Hearing the words "Guan Yingcai", Boss Wang was stunned. Elder He stepped forward and asked, "...... you guys Who is Guan Yingcai?"
"We have nothing to do with him, except that you have just been accused of being a thief like him. The old master smiled, "But I think he has a big relationship with you, right?"
"I don't know that kid, what does it have to do with him?"
"You didn't know that before that night. The old master said as if questioning, "Boss Wang Zhizi, you won't tell me that you don't know what is buried in the hole behind you, right?"
Boss Wang suddenly felt a cold sweat, and he forced himself to calm down, "Who are you from?" "Of course we are not from the public family," Xing Tian replied loudly, "and we are not people from the Tao." But soon you'll understand that we're in a lot more trouble than these two people!"
