Three-man alliance

I got off the bus halfway, and further west there was no road to pass, so I had to hike over the mountains.

After only half a while, the sky gradually darkened. It was unrealistic to walk the mountain without lighting, so I had to find a place to spend the night. But there were thorns around it, and there was no place to hide from the wind and rain, not even a decent tree, so in the end I could only meditate and rest in a leeward place.

As night fell, the mountains were reckless, and I listened to the rustling of the rain, and my heart was empty for no reason.

The cheats were destroyed by me, and I only learned about the Qi Induction Period, and I didn't read the rest of the content at all, so today's practice didn't go well, and I always felt that something was missing. For the first time, I felt small, remembered that there was a long way to go, and I didn't know where to go. At dawn, I reluctantly lifted my spirits and continued on my way.

Along the way, I found a lot of unusual traces, judging by the freshness of the broken grass on both sides of the path, and many people passed by here in the past two days. The people who will enter the mountains in this ghost weather must be people who are looking for us, and I secretly strengthened my vigilance.

Every time I climbed a hill, I had to watch carefully before I walked - these mountains were not densely forested, and most of them were overgrown with thorns and weeds, so I could have a good view of the road ahead from a high place. After walking for about two hours, I saw a man walking in my direction halfway up the hill opposite, stealthily stopping every once in a while to look back and forth. I hid behind a large rock on the side of the road, intending to wait for him to pass before I left, preferably without alarming him.

But the closer the man got to me, the more familiar he became. I held my nerve until he came to me and I flashed out from behind the rocks: "Uncle, where are you going?"

Uncle was first surprised, and then overjoyed: "Xiaohui, why are you here?"

"You're alone, what about my grandfather?"

"Which uncle?" he was confused.

"It's not that he's covering you up...... Forget it, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the woods over there. I pointed to the small bamboo grove on the right.

Uncle hesitated: "Why don't you let me go out and buy a cigarette first?"

"Uncle!" I was helpless, "do you know what is going on now? You have already entered the bureau to prove your innocence?"

"Nope. ”

"No?!" I raised my voice, "where were you that night, and why are you on the wanted list?"

"What's the hurry, look at you, you are excited like this when something happens. Anyway, I didn't kill anyone, and when the real murderer is found, it will be fine. For the past two days I have been hiding in a cave on the grave hill, and the people who have come to chase me have entered the village, and I have not been able to find it for the time being. ”

I was so angry that I couldn't speak, is this called "something happens"? Will the murderer jump out and admit the crime by himself? Is playing peek-a-boo with the police a joke?

Is my uncle's brain full of paste!!

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault, don't be angry. "Uncle is doing the same thing again, whether it is justified or not, admit his mistake first.

I had a breath in my throat, and I couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

"Lead the way, get to a safe place first. ”

Tomb Mountain is the name of the local vernacular, in fact, the mountain has no name, but there are many ancestors of the villagers of Shenjia Village buried on it, so it has this name. It is about ten kilometers away from Shenjia Village, and it is close to our position, and we will come to the foot of the tomb mountain in less than an hour.

The graves on the hill were next to each other, half-hidden in the weeds. Every year in March, the three patriarchs will organize everyone to go up the mountain to worship and sweep, and when there are many people, they don't feel anything, but now only the two of us walk in it, lined with rainy weather, it looks more and more ghostly.

"I bet no one would normally come up here. My uncle said to me as he walked. "I don't understand, why don't you build a road with cement, every year weeding is almost exhausting...... Oops!"

"What's wrong?" I stepped forward to help him up.

"It's okay, my foot slipped. My uncle got up from the ground and was covered with mud all over his hands.

"Let me clear the way ahead, and you show me the way. Pay attention to walking in my footprints. "I switched places with him. There was no road on the mountain, and the winding path we walked was opened by the villagers during the tomb sweeping this year, and it has only been two months, and the weeds have stubbornly grown wildly, and if we are not careful, we will slip.

"Xiaohui. "My uncle suddenly grabbed me. "Do you think there's something wrong up ahead?"

I looked around, and there were weeds all around me, except for the grave, and there were no men and beasts.

"Alright, don't tell me you don't know you're scared now. I hadn't eaten a full meal in the past few days, and I was tired and hungry. ”

"Let's go, I've got a lot to eat there. ”

As we continued to walk forward, I couldn't help but say to him: "Honestly, how did you come here these days? I can't hide well, I can find you from afar, and it's really the blessing of my ancestors that you haven't been caught!"

Just as his uncle was about to answer, the grass behind him suddenly split in both directions, and a figure sprang out and knocked him to the ground.

The attacker was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he completed a series of movements, and when I was about to react, the man had already stepped on my uncle's back and put a gun against his head with one hand!

Yes, the grass here is too short and sparse, I just think that adults can't hide it, and forget that there are people like my grandfather who are born with defects.

"Be careful not to go off!

My grandfather laughed weirdly: "What a ghost elf's granddaughter, what a disaster, you make me so miserable!"

"It's different, if you're in my position, you're going to do the same. "I try to be reasonable.

Uncle didn't dare to move, and forced a smile: "Uncle Ming, what do you mean? It's all a family, you let me go first." ”

My grandfather bent his fingers and tapped him twice on the back of the head, and scolded: "If you don't have any interest, the mud can't support the wall! I only talk to my granddaughter now, and as long as she promises to teach me how to cultivate the truth, I will let you go." ”

"You think it's easy to learn, and if you accidentally go crazy, you'll die a miserable death. After my father died, I didn't dare to let others see his body, so I sent it to be cremated immediately!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't you live with your head pinned to your belt in our business? This is because the new brother doesn't pay attention to brotherly morality! What do you say about his granddaughter?"

"You just believe me?" I thought was incredible. If I make a bad mistake, first agree and then regret it, or don't teach him seriously, what can he do to me?

My grandfather smiled conceitedly: "I have lived for more than sixty years, and I still have this eyesight." ”

"Okay, I promise. "This old man is ruthless, I don't dare to risk my uncle's life, besides, I have taught Ah Yan myself, and no matter how many uncles I have. "It's just that now we are in trouble, your hometown has a big business, can you really let go and run away with us? To be honest, I am the most suspicious in the murder case, and there are both human and material evidence, and I am afraid that I will be a fugitive for the rest of my life. ”

My grandfather said nonchalantly: "If you can achieve immortality, what are these things outside your body? If only I could have helped you think of a way two days ago, but now even I can't protect myself, and everyone is a grasshopper on a rope!"

The three of us made a temporary alliance and went to the cave that my uncle had spoken of.
