In 1998, in a western town in Guangdong, a picturesque handicraft shop. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As the sun set, there was no business in the store as usual, and Uncle Guang, the owner of Shenlong, who had not seen the head of the company, did not appear in the store all day, and I was extremely bored, sitting on a rattan chair listening to the radio, pondering things. Li Taohua was admiring a photo with a lewd face, and the photo showed a woman, who was the famous merry beauty Widow Zhang in the town.

Suddenly, the door of the store was kicked open with a "bang", and there was a tall middle-aged man standing outside the door, holding a beer bottle in his hand, and rushed in drunk.

Uncle Guang snatched the photo in Li Taohua's hand, and the moment he saw the photo with his triangular eyes, the familiar old and indecent smile on his face disappeared immediately, and the whole person stood there stiffly, and the hand holding the photo began to tremble slowly, and his mouth kept muttering: "How can this be?"

Seeing Uncle Guang so engrossed, I estimated that I probably fell in love with Widow Zhang, I and Li Taohua looked at each other, and secretly smiled, this time Uncle suddenly raised his head like a wake-up, and his face returned to his familiar old and immodest and calm appearance, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he asked us with a treacherous smile: "Do you know the Tao in this photo?"

Li Taohua's eyes lit up and said, "She is a beautiful little widow." ”

Uncle Guang immediately frowned and said, "Xiao Li, you are so bad at mixing and you haven't studied well, can you think of something serious in your head." ”

I laughed secretly, Uncle Guang, your eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling are not serious, and your mind is not necessarily full of serious things.

Uncle Guang glared at me, and then thought again: "Widow Zhang seduced some man, and brought such a good thing, why can't I touch it, this time it is really a creation." ”

I was puzzled: "What the hell do you see in this picture?" ”

Uncle Guang smacked his lips proudly, pointed to a simple dresser in the lower left corner of the photo, and poked an object on it with his finger for us to see.

Following his fingers, I saw a fist-sized stone on the dresser, and on the side of the stone there was a blood stain, red in color, as if it had just been made.

I looked at Uncle Guang in surprise, and Uncle Guang asked with a wicked smile, "Do you know what this stone is?"

Seeing that we were silent, Uncle Guang said with disdain: "This thing is a blood stone. ”

I didn't understand and asked, "What is a bloodstone?"

Uncle Guang knocked me on the head hard and said, "Xiaozhuang, you don't study diligently at all, and you don't even know the blood stone," he continued: "The blood stone is a rare stone in the treasure land of feng shui. It is said that this stone is very helpful for the feng shui of the cemetery, but at the same time, it is very dangerous, and there is blood in the stone, so it is extremely rare. But there are usually large tombs next to them, and the burials are very rich. Uncle Guang said as he spoke, his two triangular eyes shone with golden light, and his saliva was about to flow down with excitement.

Li Taohua was also very excited after hearing this, and asked, "Is there such a god?" ”

Uncle Guang knocked Li Taohua's head hard again, and continued: "Two years ago, a handicraft exhibition was held in Beijing, and a screen carved with bloodstone set a transaction price of 59 million famous coins. Do you know the secret behind it? They buy and sell information about the origin of the bloodstone in the name of buying bloodstone, and the target is the ancient tomb behind the bloodstone, the larger and more complete the bloodstone means that the better the feng shui of that place, the more likely it is to have a rich burial tomb. Let's just say that the bloodstone auctioned in Beijing is so big that it can carve a screen, and the ancient tomb behind it may be an imperial tomb. ”

Li Taohua seemed to think of something, and asked, "As long as we can feel the source of this bloodstone... Then this great wealth..."

Uncle Guang nodded and said, "Well, for this great wealth, I now have a plan. ”

Uncle Guang began to express his plan with great interest, and I was stunned for a while, after my induction, Uncle Guang's plan is about two parts: 1. Use various methods to find out where Widow Zhang's bloodstone came from, and this task will fall on me and Li Taohua gloriously; 2. Prepare to go, go straight to the song, and dig out the ancient tomb on the feng shui treasure land that can produce blood stones, and we all have a share.

The next day, I came to the store as usual, and I still hadn't thought through what had happened last night. Uncle Guang, I have been a buddy in his store for several years, and I see that he is basically fooling customers and running indiscriminately, although the business in the store is barely passable. It is not surprising that Uncle Guang will fight the idea of robbing tombs, I heard that his biggest black background is to be a tomb robber in the north earlier, and after liberation, he fled to the south, and did legitimate business incognito, but now he is basically whitewashed.

In the midst of cranky thoughts, Li Taohua dragged a pair of broken shoes and walked into the store lazily, and as soon as I was excited, I asked: "Lao Li, do you have a clue about what Uncle Guang said last night?"

Li Taohua yawned, and I suddenly smelled a strong smell of bad breath, and I couldn't care so much at this time, and my curiosity made me look at him expectantly. Li Taohua's face turned smug, smiled, and said, "I've already thought about it." ”

I was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What's the trick?"

Li Taohua smiled mysteriously: "I can't say now, you will follow me when the time comes." Don't ask anything, no matter what I do, you either don't say anything, or you can go along with me and cooperate with me. At the end of the evening, Li Taohua said to me confidently while closing the door of the store: "Tonight's show is the beginning, let's go to find a widow together." ”

I replied with a sneer, feeling a bad premonition in my heart.

The sun sets, the sunset town is indeed beautiful, but I am not in the mood to watch it at all, I always feel that there will be something terrible waiting for me, I and Li Taohua walked on the road to Widow Zhang's house, it was a small forest road, the road was very quiet along the way, no one else, only heard one or two bird calls.

As we walked, I had a strange feeling, and I heard a slight wheezing sound, as if someone was following us. I instinctively looked around, and finally saw a dark shadow in the depths of the small forest, more than ten meters away. I was terrified and saw the dark shadow moving slowly in the depths of the woods.

I whispered to Li Taohua, "Oops, we're being followed." As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the shadow.

Li Taohua looked vigilantly at the corner of her eye, and nodded slightly to me to show her understanding.

We continued to walk on the secluded path, and the dark shadow followed us from afar. At a bend, I suddenly hid behind a large rock, and Li Taohua continued to walk forward. It was already dark, and the dark shadow didn't seem to immediately notice that we were missing someone, but still followed Li Taohua in the distance.

I hid behind the big rock for a few seconds, stood still, followed the footsteps of the black shadow, slowly detoured through the woods, and quietly touched the back of the black shadow. I was secretly amused in my heart, the dark shadow thought he was following us, but he didn't expect that I had already started stalking him from behind.

After walking for a while, suddenly the black shadow stopped, seemed to see that the aim was wrong, and began to look around, I was taken aback in my heart, he finally found that Li Taohua was the only one in front of him. He was also old-fashioned, did not continue to entangle, turned around and fled in the other direction.

At this time, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and thought: the target of this black shadow is me.

I was unwilling to follow the black shadow for a while, but the black shadow's movements began quickly, and I quickly fled in the woods, and I also walked forward quickly, following closely behind him. After running for a while, I began to want to give up tracking, because running after him at such a speed was too loud and easy to detect.

I stopped, deciding not to follow him any longer, because I wouldn't be able to make the shadow aware that I was following him. I looked at the black shadow, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, or a little funny, judging from the black shadow's body shape and overall movements, it should be a man, but observing his leg movements when he walked quickly, it looked like a big lady squirming and walking with broken steps.

At this moment, I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, and I turned around in shock, it was Li Taohua who came back to look for me, and I quickly looked back at the black shadow, which was gone.

We continued to walk in Xiaolinzi Road, and soon arrived at Widow Zhang's house, when it was already dark, and the courtyard of Widow Zhang's house was lit with several lights, illuminating the whole compound as bright as daytime. We walked into the yard and saw that the yard was planted with all kinds of bonsai, and the shape was indeed carefully cared for, we soon came to the door of the house, buckled the door, and found that there was no movement inside, and it was estimated that Widow Zhang was not at home.

At this time, a voice came from behind: "Two little brothers, is there something wrong?"

When I looked back, Widow Zhang had come out of the courtyard and was out of sight, smiling at the two of us.

I didn't know how to answer for a while, but Li Taohua reacted quickly and said, "Passing by your door, I saw that the flowers in the yard were so beautiful, so I couldn't help but come in." ”

Widow Zhang was very happy to hear this, and said that she had more beautiful bonsai in her house, so she beckoned us to come into her house to have a look. Li Taohua is very good at talking to women, he is close to Widow Zhang's endless sets, I follow them, basically can't interject, but I noticed that Widow Zhang's eyes are looking at me from time to time, I pretend not to pay attention, I feel very strange in my heart.

When he saw the bloodstone still on the dresser, he pretended to see such a beautiful and special stone for the first time, and praised it again and again, and asked Widow Zhang where he could buy it and liked it very much, Widow Zhang praised Li Taohua for being so good at talking, and told us that this stone was picked up by her good friend in a remote village called Geshan Village in Grand Canyon Town, Lin'an City, western Zhejiang, and gave it to her to play with.

I noticed that in the corner of Widow Zhang's house, near the door, there was a blood-red thing. When I looked closely, it was a small potted plant, and there was a bright red flower blooming at the top of the plant, red like fire, and it was also very strangely shaped, and there were many red hairs standing up at the top, and I knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary species. I asked Widow Zhang what kind of flower it was, her eyes were evasive, and she said, "I don't know, it's a friend who wants to go out and let me help raise it for a few days." ”

As we left, in the gloomy corner of her yard, I saw something that wasn't supposed to be there, one of a grade that didn't fit in with Widow Zhang's dilapidated courtyard, an extended Lincoln, and my instinct told me not to go yet, there must be something wrong here. I pulled Li Taohua and found a dark place to hide and observe.

Not long after, I saw a man come out of Widow Zhang's house, the man was not tall and fat, with a flat haircut, fair skin, very gentle, and very decently dressed, I saw his walking posture, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his back, and his walking posture was like a big lady walking broken steps.

But such a walking posture, with his figure and temperament, is not ugly and abrupt at all, and even has an indescribable harmony, which gives me the feeling that he must be very sleek and very old-fashioned. I'm sure very few men walk like this, that is, he is the dark shadow that followed us in the woods just now.
