Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the wind rustled the leaves.

Xia Chen and the first few children in the west of the village, all aged seven or eight, completely ignored the late day, and sat under an old elm tree in the west of the village around two lanterns with paper, discussing plans for tomorrow.

Except for Xia Chen, they all expressed their opinions, but none of them could say a complete plan.

Li San blinked a pair of small eyes and looked at Xia Chen, who was sitting diagonally opposite him: "Huang Mao, why don't you speak?" ”

Xia Chen held a blade of grass in her mouth, squinted her eyes and chewed slowly, she liked this slightly bitter but fragrant taste very much.

Zhao Xiaoliu, who was sitting on his left, said: "Yes, Huang Mao, you have always had the most ideas, why didn't you say a word today?" ”

Xia Chen spit out the blades of grass at this time, in fact, she was waiting for them to ask herself, she didn't believe that these boys could have any good ideas. She looked at the stone that had grown the strongest of the children, and said, "Think for yourselves, will what you say work?" With what happened last time, even if he wasn't caught by that old man Li this time, he would definitely sue him at home if he recognized him, and he would inevitably have a good beating. ”

Li San subconsciously touched his buttocks: "Last time, I was hit by more than 20 soles." As he spoke, he pointed at Zhao Xiaoliu with a gloating face: "Zhao Hou'er is worse than me, and he has been lying on the kang for three days." ”

Zhao Xiaoliu snorted and replied: "Li Xiaoyan, that's, my father punished me for thinking about it behind closed doors." He said this, but his hand subconsciously touched the back of the thigh.

The stone looked quite unconvinced, and stretched out his hand and knocked on the head of the child sitting on Xia Chen's right: "Miss Zhao San, last time it was because you were caught by Uncle Li, we ate the 'pot branding' with it, and when we saw the melon, it was like seeing the bride, and we didn't let go when we hugged it with straight eyes." ”

Miss Zhao San's face was aggrieved, and she rubbed her head and said softly: "No, when you see Uncle Li, you are all running blindly like headless flies, I was so frightened that I didn't know who to run with." ”

A group of children burst into laughter.

Li San said: "Stone, you have to say that he holds his husband and doesn't let go." After that, she also learned Zhao Sanniang's tone and hugged the arm of the stone: "Husband, the slave family is reluctant to give you up." ”

Zhao Xiaoliu followed: "Yes, yes, the bitter gourd that Miss Zhao San promised to the east of the village is just right." ”

Miss Zhao San pursed her lips and lowered her head with an embarrassed expression, she really looked like a shy daughter.

Miss Zhao San is actually a boy, his big name is Zhao Tie, but he himself is more than 108,000 miles different from his image and name, he is not only born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, pink face, and peach cheeks, but also speaks in a tone and demeanor very much like a girl, so he has such a nickname.

And except for the Stone Man, as his name suggests, everyone else has nicknames. Li San is called "Li Xiaoyaner" because his eyes are very small. Zhao Xiaoliu is thin and small, with a pair of big round eyes on his palm-sized face, which is extremely conspicuous, and he is famous for his cleverness, so he got the nickname "Zhao Monkey". As for Xia Chen, it was because she had brown hair, so they all called her "Huang Mao." ”

Xia Chen said lazily: "Okay, don't tease him." It's hard to make a big deal without rules, I think we should choose a 'head' out, so as not to always go east and he go west, do you have any opinions? ”

Miss Zhao San immediately said: "Huang Mao is right, it's best to choose one to take the lead, and we will all listen to his orders in the future." ”

Stone said, "I agree. ”

Zhao Xiaoliu and Li San also nodded: "Agreed." "Agreed."

The stone rolled up his sleeves and revealed his strong arms: "Then you should tell me, who deserves this head?" ”

Li San hurriedly said: "Brother Shi is the oldest and has the greatest strength, so he is naturally Brother Shi." ”

Zhao Xiaoliu snorted: "Li Xiaoyan, you don't have to be a sycophant there!" No matter how old and strong you are, can you still be bigger than an adult like our father? I chose Huang Mao, although he is the smallest, but the brain is the most bright, I have never suffered a loss with him. ”

Li San stood up suddenly: "Zhao Monkey!" I think you're a sycophant. As soon as your father wants to beat you, you will find Huang Mao to make up nonsense for you to excuse you, of course you have to choose him. I admit that he has a good mind, but when he meets those in the east of the village, he doesn't have to rely on Brother Shi. ”

Zhao Xiaoliu raised his chin: "I'll choose Huang Mao, last time the two brothers of Lao Wang's rich family didn't fall into the trap dug by Huang Mao, and they also got pig." ”

Xia Chen slowly stood up, glanced at them and stopped his gaze on the stone face: "No matter who is in charge, everyone has to be convinced, why don't we compare." ”

The stone also stood up and puffed up his chest: "Than what? ”

Xia Chen said: "Just now someone said that age and strength are useless, and some people are naturally unconvinced by these." It's better than guts! Can you agree? ”

The stone said, "Good! I haven't been afraid of anyone if my stone has grown so big. ”

The two most competitive people agreed, and the other three who followed the fart on weekdays naturally agreed.

Li San asked: "What is the comparison?" ”

Xia Chen looked up at the moon that had just come out of a dark cloud, but was immediately engulfed by another cloud: "Grave circle! Longer than who has been in it. ”

As soon as he heard the grave circle, the stone couldn't help but tremble: "This is not good, if you hit the evil, it will be fatal." ”

Li San followed: "Huang Mao, you can figure it out, this is also a little ruthless, right?" ”

Zhao Xiaoliu stammered: "Huang, Huang Mao...... Are you crazy? ”

Xia Chen looked at the stone and grinned: "Stone, if you are afraid, you will all have to listen to me in the future!" ”

Shi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Who is afraid?" Compare to compare! I don't believe you dare to go in. ”

Now that they had decided on the beating, they picked up the lanterns, quietly left the village and walked north along the main road, and after about half an hour, they turned to an overgrown path on the left and walked more than a mile to the west. A black, oppressive forest loomed into view. This forest is where the dead were buried in several nearby villages, and the people here call it "Grave Circle".

The wind was strong that night, and the lanterns were blown to the left and right, reflecting the figures of several people, and the clothes, grass and trees were blown to hunt, and the woods were more like waves of rolling black waves, which would rush over and drown them at any time.

There were still seven or eight zhang away from the woods, and Miss Zhao San refused to go forward anymore, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm waiting for you here." ”

Li San hurriedly said: "I, I'm not leaving, and I won't compare with you." ”

Zhao Xiaoliu followed: "Yes, yes, we are waiting here to help you testify, and if you come out first, you will lose." ”

Stone held out his hand: "Give me the lantern." ”

Xia Chenge opened his hand: "There are two lanterns in total, and you have to leave one for them, if you take it and I don't take it, wouldn't it be fair?" ”

Shi Shi said in surprise: "Could it be that we just go in like this?" ”

"It's okay for you to throw in the towel now." Xia Chen said, turning his back and walking slowly in the direction of the woods.

The stone immediately followed: "If you don't take it, you won't take it!" Hey, wait for me. ”

Xia Chen let out a long sigh and said in an extremely strange tone: "The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills, and the ghost cries and the wolf howls and the wind howls. ”

The hairs on the stone's body stood on end at once. "Don't talk about it!"

When he was about to enter the forest, Xia Chen turned his head: "I'll go to the left, you go to the right!" ”

The stone took a deep breath and looked at the moon that had just emerged from the clouds: "Good! Don't follow me. ”

Xia Chen suddenly shouted: "Monkey, can you see us?" Count to three, and let us go in. ”

His shout startled the already nervous stone again, and he couldn't help but shudder: "Shhh Hush! ”

Zhao Xiaoliu shouted: "I can see it, I counted, one, two, three." ”

Listening to him count to three, Xia Chen walked into the woods to the left, and the stone also followed into the woods and walked to the right.

The wind was blowing, and the moonlight reflected the dappled and swaying shadows of the trees, some of which were reflected on the raised graves, as if ghosts had crawled out of them. Occasionally, a bird screamed and flew into the air.

Xia Chen found a big tree to sit downward, looked at the two graves on the side, and said softly: "Sorry, excuse me, I'll leave immediately, just when I'm passing by." She has been to the tombs a lot, and she has not studied the ancient corpses, and because she has often heard about some strange things, she has always respected the owners of those tombs very much.

Just like the tomb that He He had no intention of going to before, it was obviously built by digging a mountain - this kind of tomb is not something that ordinary people can afford, and there are indeed several mechanisms in the tomb, but there is only a stone table and an ordinary sarcophagus inside, and there is no sign of theft.

What's even more strange is that when they opened the sarcophagus, there were no bones in it, only a sandalwood box, and in the box there was a landscape painting without a signature, and a large and a small couple ring with the same style of gold inlaid jade, the smaller one on her body was inlaid with green jade, and He had no intention of the one inlaid with red jade. Thinking that the many mysteries of the tomb had not yet been solved, she felt a pang of discomfort in her heart—the occupational disease had been committed again.

Suddenly, a strange muffled sound came from behind, as if something had fallen from a tree to the ground, interrupting Xia Chen's thoughts. When she came to the cemetery in the middle of the night, she was also a little furious in her heart, thinking that Zhao Xiaoliu and they were not far away, so she was relieved.

At this time, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and the five fingers were missing, accompanied by a gust of wind, and all kinds of strange sounds suddenly sounded, as if countless sighing ghosts were crying. Xia Chen patted his chest, not afraid! Unafraid!

"Ahh A shout came from not far away, and then I heard the stone crying: "Huang Mao, I admit defeat, woo, wow......"

Xia Chen was overjoyed, quickly stood up and ran out of the woods, she also wanted to leave this ghost place immediately! She's just a child now, even if she's not very afraid of ghosts, if she encounters a poisonous snake or beast, she will die!

As soon as she came out of the woods, she slowed down and walked towards the place where the lantern was on, looking at the stone lying in Li San's arms and crying, showing a smug smile, win!

As soon as he entered the village with the frightened stone on his legs, a roar came from the front: "You little rabbits, you are still running out so late, and you are not afraid of being taken by wolves!" ”
