Pan Jinlong and Pan Jinhu couldn't even take a step, if it weren't for the naked son leading the way in front, they would have turned around and ran backwards.

The two of them followed behind tremblingly, and when they came to the old house, Akako blew into the keyhole of the gate, and then took advantage of the marbles inside to reset, suddenly pushed open the door, dodged in, and blocked the children's retreat.

The two recognized these children, all of whom were left-behind children in the village, the eldest was 12 years old, and the youngest was only 8 years old.

Pan Jinlong shouted: "Three dogs, five dogs, it turns out that you stole the chickens in the village here and slaughtered them, I thought they were taken away by ghosts?" ”

The so-called "ghost fire" is a candle lit by children, and when the wind blows in, it flickers and flickers, flickering and brightening, scaring the people in the village.

Pan Jinhu asked, "This gate is well locked, how did you get in?" ”

"Needless to say? Dig a tunnel! ”

Akako pointed to the tunnel entrance behind him, he first stood behind this group of children, in order to prevent them from escaping from the tunnel, in the middle of the night, in case they fell into the valley and were injured or broken, whether it was adults or children, it would not be easy.

Pan Jinlong picked up a dry firewood branch from the ground and scolded:

"Three dogs, five dogs, among these five children, you two are the oldest, not only do you not study hard, set a good example for them, but also teach them badly, become thieves, used to steal people's old bicycles, kitchen utensils sold to scrap collectors, earn a little chicken money, and now do the bad thing of stealing chickens and dogs, wait for me to discount your legs, and then drag them to your grandfather, teach you two a good lesson!"

In fact, Pan Jinlong just wanted to scare and scare them, but he scared the three-year-old children into crying, seven or eight year olds, where have you seen this kind of scene?

If it weren't for the older children, would they dare to go up to this uninhabited hillside?

Pan Jinhu said: "Brother! You don't have to beat him, tomorrow send Sangou and Wugou to the Xihe Town Police Station, these two are habitual thieves, and lead the children to commit crimes, let the police uncle send them to the county labor camp, squat for a few years, and it will be improved! ”

When he said this, the two eldest children were frightened, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Two brothers, do well!" If my two brothers were sent in, my grandfather would be over eighty years old, and if there was no one to cook for his old man's family, he would starve to death! ”

"Knowing what's at stake, why do you want to steal chickens?" Pan Jinlong shouted.

Sangou said: "The family is poor, and my parents give me living expenses, so I buy some pork in the morning to cook soup for my grandfather to eat and maintain my body, but my brother and I don't have any oil and water, and we are so hungry that we panic, so we go to steal chickens, thinking that we don't have to spend money to eat good things!" ”

When Pan Jinlong heard this, he was moved in his heart, and even lost the whip, and said: "You two get up, I won't beat you, and I won't send you to the police station, but you have to remember that stealing needles when you are young, stealing gold when you are big, and stealing other people's things is a crime and will go to jail, understand?" ”

"Why did these three children come up with you? Didn't their families know? Akako asked, puzzled.

Sangou said: "They lied to their family and said that they would come and ask me to help them with their homework, sleep here at night, and go to school together in the morning, and they will believe it!" ”

"The adults in the mountain villages don't pay attention to the education of their children, so how can they learn well if they are so laissez-faire!" Chiko sighed.

Pan Jinlong said: "The people in the village are afraid of living a poor life, and the couple go out to work together to make money, leaving the children to the elderly at home, but they are too old to even take care of themselves, how can they take care of the left-behind children?" ”

"Right? Since they have all killed the stolen chickens, just cook them and let them sleep here until dawn, and then send them down the mountain! Chiko suggested.

Pan Jinlong said: "It's okay! Anyway, the school has a summer vacation, as long as they don't steal anymore and review their homework at home, this matter will no longer be pursued, but you remember, don't do it again, do you know? ”

"Got it, if you do it again in the future, you can deal with it!" Three dogs swear.

Pan Jinlong, Pan Jinhu took three dogs, five dogs, disemboweled, and then cut the chicken into pieces, put it in the pot to cook, no wonder the children chose here as a thief's den, because the pots and dishes in the kitchen, diesel, water and salt are readily available, convenient and hidden, now children! It's a ghost elf.

After the children had eaten a full meal of boiled chicken, Pan Jinlong took them to a bedroom, where there were two large wooden beds, mats, mosquito nets, and five people sleeping in two beds, which was more than enough.

Wugou said: "Every Saturday and Sunday, I slaughter the stolen chickens here, cook and eat them, and then sleep here until dawn, and then secretly return to the village, unaware!" ”

"You're comfortable! But it frightened the people of the village, and when they saw the candlelight at night, they thought it was a ghost fire, but it turned out that it was you five little ghosts who were doing it! Akako said.

Sangou said proudly: "Who called them so cowardly? But we succeeded! ”

"It's good to say that you took advantage of the loophole because they were timid and afraid of ghosts!" Pan Jinhu said.

Chiko persuaded: "You're all full, hurry up and sleep for a while, right?" Soon it will be dawn! ”

After all, children are children, lying on the bed, and falling asleep after a while, the child listens to their even breathing, and his heart seems to be a broken five-flavor bottle, sour, spicy, salty, and popping up, when will the children who stay in the mountains stay by their parents' side, enjoy the warmth of their parents, and get a good education!

Chizi, Pan Jinlong and Pan Jinhu, meditated with their backs against the wall of the bedroom, waiting by the five little ghosts, so that they could sleep well.

At dawn, after waking up the children, he locked the gate and climbed out of the tunnel, which was only ten meters long, and was surrounded by pure yellow mud structure, which was very solid, but could not stand up, like a cat hole.

The entrance of the cave is in the flood ditch halfway up the mountain, which is overgrown with vines and vines, which is very hidden, and it is difficult to find it if you don't look carefully!

Akako asked with interest, "How long did it take you to dig this tunnel?" ”

Sangou said: "My two brothers, it took a month to dig through!" ”

"Wow! It's really hard work! Did you watch the film and television of "Tunnel War" before you had this idea? Ako asked.

Wugou said: "No, my two brothers often come to the back mountain to pick wild fruits, and found this place, at first they just thought it was fun, but who knew that they dug it through, and they were happy for several days?" ”
