32.Chapter 32: Murder Night
The weather in the southern mountains is unpredictable, from sunny days to a drizzle at night. In a small mountain village at the intersection of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, as long as it is dark, everyone will return home immediately, and there is no entertainment after dinner, at most gossip with the family, and then climb into bed, what should be done, what should be slept, if someone occasionally goes out at night, and meets another person who also goes out by chance on the country road, he will definitely mistake him for a ghost, exclaim and then turn around and run away.
That night, shortly after dark, a burly young man with a wooden expression crept into the village, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or if he had some special function, he touched a house, and he found the house he was looking for.
It was a dilapidated adobe house, with a dilapidated roof and a door that could not be hidden, and in the room, an old man with white hair sat on the bed, looking in the direction of the door, not knowing what he was thinking, and what he was waiting for.
The burly young man outside the door peeked in through the window, and when he saw that the old man was not asleep, he immediately retracted his head, slid down with his back against the earthen wall, and sat down lightly on the ground, with his hands crossed in front of his chest.
The rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain was constantly lapping down the eaves on him, and he didn't care, just sat quietly, as if he was in nothingness.
After a long time, the fire in the house was extinguished, but thunder sounded in the sky, and the wind was fierce under the lightning and thunder, but the rain stopped at this time.
The young man finally stood up, shook off the rain, walked around the wall to the door of the house, pushed the door without hesitation, and walked straight to the bed.
He stood beside the bed and said softly: "Originally, I shouldn't have been more serious with a bad old man like you, but you shouldn't scold anyone for my master, and you shouldn't curse him for cutting off his children and grandchildren! My master has had a very rough life in this life, and that child in Sanqing is even more miserable! I hope they can all live well, and you must die! I'm here today, so I should send you on my way in advance, and don't come back to thank me, I'm not afraid!" As the young man spoke, a bolt of lightning swept through the sky, followed by a loud bang, and he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the old man lying on the bed by the neck.
The old man who was sleeping soundly woke up violently, and when he opened his eyes, he found that a person who could not see clearly choked his neck, thinking that it was because he had failed to preserve the ancient tomb, and the owner of the tomb had come to claim his old life.
"No, Master said that if you want to be buried alive, then you must be buried alive!" the young man suddenly sent his hand and said in a deep voice.
The old man on the bed turned pale and breathed the air greedily.
"It's you, it's you, I can hear your voice, you tomb robber, it's not enough to dig people's ancestral graves, and you still want to kill me, a half-dead old man. Aren't you afraid of being a beast in the next life?" the old man struggled to sit up and began to shout.
"Don't be afraid. The young man replied coldly, and then a hand knife was handed out, and it smashed firmly on the old man's shoulder, and the old man immediately fainted.
This young man was none other than a GI. From the beginning of entering the tomb, he secretly planned this matter in his heart, in his heart Li Laosan's status is supreme and inviolable, if someone does something insulting Li Laosan, he will definitely double his dedication, all these years, he has been doing this, and has never missed.
"It's time to hit the road!" said the GI, pulling the unconscious old man up, for the old man was not very tall and very thin, so the GI took him under his armpit and walked out of the house, and when he went out, he picked up a hoe by the accident door.
After leaving the village, he continued southward, climbed a hill, and then picked a place with sparse trees, put the old man down, and then dug a pit not far away.
It had just rained, the soil layer was soft, and it was not difficult to dig up, and the soldier said softly while digging the soil: "You look at things, you always love to curse people, my soldier is different, I am kind, pick such a good place for you, and I guarantee that you can vote for a good family in the next life, so you don't have to be lonely and old!"
It didn't take long for a large pit to be dug in the ground, a pit large enough to bury two people. The soldier crawled out of the hole, walked back to the old man, leaned over and touched the tip of the old man's nose, and breathed.
"Very good!" the soldier said two words coldly, picked up the old man, went to the edge of the pit, jumped down the pit first, gently put the old man in the pit, and after getting up, began to fill the pit with earth.
"Stop!" came the familiar voice from the bushes behind the GI, and then a figure jumped out and ran directly behind the GI, snatching the hoe from the GI's hand with lightning speed.
"Three, third brother, you ...... How do you know I'm here?" The soldier's face was as white as earth, like a child who wanted to do something wrong, he stayed where he was, not daring to look at Li Laosan's face.
"You are my apprentice!" Li Laosan said angrily.
"I, I just hate him for cursing you to cut off your children and grandchildren. The GI's voice grew quieter, as if he were talking to himself.
"How many times have you done this?"
"Not a lot. The GI replied timidly.
"He's damn damaging his yin virtue, forcing himself to death step by step, soldier!" Hearing the soldier's answer, Li Laosan was extremely angry and smashed the hoe in his hand to the ground.
"I'm not afraid. The GI whispered.
"You're not afraid, I'm afraid! I've regarded you as a relative for so many years, and I can't bear to see you end up with a bad death!"
"I ......" the soldier was speechless, and his eyes were full of tears.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me! Send the old man back, what he said is not wrong, and the scolding is right, I Li Laosan didn't plan to have a good end after doing this!"
The soldier glanced at Li Laosan, didn't say anything more, jumped directly into the pit, and used his hands to dig the soil, trying to pull out the old man who had been half buried, but he couldn't dig anything.
"Three, third brother, the old man is gone!" the soldier shouted in horror.
"What?" Li Laosan also felt incredulous, because he had watched the soldier throw the old man into the pit, and after he broke out of the bushes, he had been observing the pit with the corner of his eye, and he didn't see anyone rushing out of the pit at all. After saying this, he began to carefully check the surroundings, the mountain road on a rainy day, if the old man really got up and fled by himself, then there would definitely be footprints left in this vicinity, but Li Laosan did not see the third footprint except for himself and the soldiers.
"Is it possible to escape?" Li Laosan muttered in his heart, and finally he came to a conclusion that this place should not stay for a long time.
"Hurry up and go soldier!" Li Laosan said loudly.
The GI quickly crawled out of the pit, and the two hurried down the hill to leave.
