The next day, when the rooster crowed twice, Xu Si took down the spear hidden on the roof, wrapped the bag in a few tattered cloths and clamped it under his armpit, and took out a few more shots and forced them into his waist. Then quietly went out and walked west.

The west ditch is not a ditch: its terrain is slightly more than a meter concave than the ground level, the stone accumulation is almost ten acres of land, the vegetation in it is luxuriant, the summer shades the sky, the winter is difficult to walk, the ground is full of large and small bushes, between the thick and towering trees, the sky is full of long and tangled vines, it is like a big net, the net of the sun and the moon.

There were strangers who died in this ditch, emitting a foul stench, and since then, every full moon night, you can always hear the terrible screams from the dense bushes, and slowly this place has become a forbidden land, and now this great drought has made this forbidden land also undergo many changes: the piles of dead shrubs have made the original lush and green a little desolate, and the sparse leaves on the tall trees can no longer cover the sky, and the dead vines hang from tree to tree like broken bead nets of empty houses. The whole west ditch is no longer as in the past, once you get into it, you can no longer find it, and it has become a little unobstructed, but even so, it is still comparable to the barren grave in people's hearts, and no one approaches.

There was a slight rustling sound from stepping on the dirt road under the footboard, which was still abrupt in the dark and silent night, close to the west ditch, and from a distance he saw that there seemed to be a dark red light spot not far away, Xu Si became careful, he held the long root under his armpit in his hand, and his whole body was vigilant and moved like a point of light to touch it.

"It's the fourth!" Not far away, Yu Hu's low-voiced inquiry sounded, Xu Sigao's heart suddenly put down, and he immediately understood the dark red point of light: it was Ganhu smoking dry smoke.

"Why did you come so early?" Xu Si walked over and kept a distance from the shadowy black shadow in the darkness, "I can't sleep." Yu Hu responded: "Aren't you coming early?" Xu Si didn't answer, this ditch is from a village, just raise your legs, but the middle village is thirteen miles away from here, and the two can't be the same.

"One?" In the dark, Yu Hu didn't know what to take out and handed it over, "No! Xu Si refused to move a small step outward gently, but Yu Hu was not reluctant, but took out the fire sickle and "clicked" twice to make a fire, and blew on the paper media with his mouth, and with the light of the paper media, the yang face in the dark was illuminated.

He put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a paper medium, and inhaled it hard, the dark red first point changed desperately, and Yu Hu's eyes sparkled against the dark red light, "These donkeys little Japan!" He cursed hatefully. Seeing that Xu Hui didn't say anything, he stopped talking and squatted there and smoked one by one.

In the distance, there was the sound of Xi Suosuo's footsteps, "Fourth brother." Wang Wu's timid cry came from the silent darkness, Xu Si answered, Wang Wu hurriedly leaned over, and said softly: "Fourth brother, you came really early." "There are those who are earlier than me" Xu Sinunu mouthed, thinking that Wang Wu couldn't see it at all in the dark, but Yu Hu squatted there but didn't make a sound, just kept smoking one cigarette after another.

He also came with a stammer, still standing behind Xu Si.

The rooster crowed three times, and when he saw a milky white sky in the east, the butcher finally came with a deep foot and a shallow foot! "It's late, it's late! Damn it! That old lady is too good at tossing! Tu Zi sat on the ground with a big grin as he spoke, Xu Hui glanced at him in disgust, waved his hand and said, "Go!" So saying, he got into the thick bushes first, and the rest of the men followed him.

Those withered trees are almost the height of a human head, densely packed with long airtight wind, and it took a good thing to walk into the middle of the ditch, there is a clearing, about an acre square, there is nothing bare, only some unknown animal dung scattered on the ground, this place is not visible from the outside at all, it was accidentally discovered by Xu Si several years ago.

Xu Si stood in the open space and turned around, looking at the few people behind him, they didn't snort, just stood quietly and looked at him, "I repeat, if anyone is angry now, they can still quit, otherwise ......" Xu Si sneered and stopped talking.

After a while, several people were speechless, and they looked at each other. Xu Hui squatted down and peeled off the few rags wrapped around the gun one by one. Revealing the black and shiny steel gun, several people immediately surrounded them, staring at the gun with a frenzy in their eyes.

"Which of you would make this thing?" "I'll make it!" As soon as Xu Si's words fell, Tu Zi and Yu Hu each stretched out one hand and grabbed the gun, "Let go!" The two said at the same time, but the two hands clenched tighter, and the four eyes seemed to be about to ignite a fire, and Wang Wu and the stammering couldn't help but take a step back.

"Let it go!" Xu Si reached out and grabbed the gun, Yu Hu and Tu Zi glared at each other fiercely, and reluctantly let go of their hands, "Who will try it first!" "Me!" Yu Hu reached out and grabbed the gun again, but Tu Zi unexpectedly didn't reach out.

Yu Hu took the gun, skillfully pulled the gun on the leash, took the bullet handed over by Xu Si and put it into the chamber, pushed down the bolt to lock, raised the gun and aimed: "Bang"! With a crisp sound, a small tree dozens of meters away snapped in response, revealing a bone-like snow-white stubble. "Good gun!" Yu Hu's eyes were full of fanaticism.

Tu Zi walked over with a gloomy face, snatched the gun back and held it in his arms, stretched out his hand to ask for a bullet, and clumsily pulled the bolt of the gun, and the strong shell in the chamber of the gun startled him.

He tried to stuff the bullet into the chamber with a trembling hand, but accidentally fell to the ground, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up, "It's too nervous!" So excited! I haven't touched this thing for five or six years! He muttered that he didn't know who to explain, and Yu Hu looked at him with disdain.

The bullet was finally pushed into the chamber of the gun, and after the bolt was locked, Tuzi did not wait to raise the gun and directly hugged the fire, with a crisp sound, the bullet whistled past the bush, dodged the thick tree trunk, and hit a rabbit that was being alarmed by the previous gunshot, and the rabbit jumped high and fell to the left ground motionless, and the bullet passed through the rabbit's body and shot into the loess and set off an earthy yellow mud flower.

"Good marksmanship!" Yu Hu sighed: "I'm ashamed! ”

The butcher's fat face was shiny! "Of course! If this thing had been put in the past few years, I would have hit it wherever I would! These years have been deserted! If you can give me a few days of practice, I'm sure I'll hit every shot! Tuzi boasted.

When did this butcher learn to shoot? Xu Si looked down on people like him in his heart, he only knew that he killed pigs and sold meat, but he never saw or heard him say that he could shoot, could it be Meng! But even if a blind cat hits a dead mouse Xu Si, he can't break it: after all, Tuzi's surname is Xu, and he is much closer to himself than Yu Hu.
