The ship stood silently in place as if it had been nailed.

At this moment, my heart hung in my throat, and I leaned on the edge of the boat and leaned out half of my body. The water in the thirteen caves is black, the kind of jet black that can reflect the human face, giving people a bottomless feeling, even I, who grew up on the edge of the Yellow River, feel dazed.

I stared at the water for three or four minutes, and my worry and fear doubled.

The surroundings were originally very quiet, but at this time there was a sound of "stabbing and stabbing", I subconsciously glanced to both sides, and did not find anything unusual, but noticed the rock walls on both sides.

In fact, I have noticed before that from the third grotto, there are a lot of traces of artificial polishing on the walls of the cave on both sides.

The sound of "stabbing and stabbing" did not decrease but increased, at first it was just vague, but after a minute, the sound became obvious, making people sound very uncomfortable, and even have an inexplicable sense of irritability and depression.

I looked away again, and at this glance, the whole person subconsciously took a step back and sat down on the board.

I saw a black shadow coming in under the water all around, a similar experience I had encountered before, and there was no need to look closely, there were tens of thousands of insects in the water.

After a few seconds of blankness in my brain, I took a deep breath and tried my best to control my emotions, thinking of the last time I went into the Thirteen Ghost Caves with my uncle to catch ghost catfish, he cut my hand and dripped blood into the water......

I didn't dare to hesitate, picked up the dagger, gritted my teeth, cut my fingers, and then stretched out.

The red blood dripped onto the surface of the water, turned from a dot into a circle, and then gradually spread. The magical scene happened again, and the next moment, the sound of "stabbing and stabbing" around suddenly increased its voice and rhythm, and the black shadow, which was less than three meters away from the hull of the ship, receded like a tide, and I blinked a few times, and the black shadow in my sight was completely gone.

I pressed the wound with my left hand, and then I felt a slight pain in the scratch, and the blood almost flowed all over the palm, I must have been too nervous just now, and my hand was a little heavier.

Gasping for breath, I cursed secretly, and then couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

What the is this! In the same place, twice he was scared by an unknown bug in the water and cut his finger. Extreme tension was followed by extreme relaxation, and a thought popped into my head: What would have happened if I hadn't put blood in the water just now? Could it be that tens of thousands of bugs will pounce on me and bite me to death?

It shouldn't be possible! Whatever the reason, they are afraid of my blood and should not dare bite me.

After smiling bitterly again, and scolding himself for being stupid, he leaned to the edge of the boat again and looked down into the water.

The difference is that at this time, there are bubbles in the water, and strings of bubbles are gushing up from the bottom of the water, just like the spring of Daming Lake in Jinan, Shandong.

"Whoa—"

With a violent sound of water, a person came out of the water, it was the uncle.

He wiped the water from his face, smiled at me, and paddled with one hand, came to the side of the boat, and threw a pale yellow bag onto the boat.

"Got it?" I reached out and pulled my uncle, who rolled over and jumped onto the boat.

"Got it!" The uncle walked up to his bag in two steps, took out a box of clay cigarettes from it, lit one, took two puffs, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Open it! It's a bit rude to leave the water and trap people in the soul bag again, and it's not good for the Bai family to see it! ”

I nodded, and walked over to uncover the pale yellow bag, revealing a very complete human skeleton, and although I felt fully prepared for it, I still chuckled when I saw the skull.

"This is the grandfather of the Bai family?"

The uncle nodded while wiping the water on his body.

"You...... Are you so confident, didn't make a mistake? I asked questioningly.

The uncle lit a cigarette again: "Look at what is on his wrist!" ”

Wrist?

I bent down to look again, and saw that the skeleton had a white handkerchief wrapped around its wrist, and there were a few drops of blood.

Returning along the same path, it was very smooth, and the moment I got out of the cave, I felt a pleasant feeling.

From a distance, I saw the Bai family standing on the small pier where we went down to the river before.

"Great nephew, be careful!"

Leng Buding, the uncle behind me reminded me softly.

"Careful? Be careful? It's all out! I couldn't help but laugh.

"Beware of the Bai family!"

"Be careful what they're doing?"

My uncle motioned for me to pay attention to the people on the dock: "Don't you notice that the posture is different from when we went down the river?" ”

Looking again, I realized that there were more than twenty people on the dock at this time, even more than all the people in the previous five cars, and it was obvious that when my uncle and I entered the cave, they had increased their manpower.

Calling so many people to come, it won't be just to welcome your old lady!

So......

A bad feeling flashed through my head.

Could it be that the fat man wants to deal with me and my uncle? Think...... Want to get paid? Looking at the fat man's wealth, he doesn't look like a master who is short of money, not to mention that I heard my uncle say it with my own ears before, and my uncle won't ask for a penny more.

Maybe there's another possibility: they're dealing with me and my uncle!

I subconsciously touched the dagger on my waist and gritted my teeth. Damn it! The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, see the move! What's more, this is broad daylight, in broad daylight, it is impossible for him to rely on his wealth and do anything out of the ordinary!

While pondering, the boat had already approached the small dock, and the fat man greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Master Bai, things are going well, right?" As he spoke, his eyes kept looking at the boat, and it was obvious that he also saw a white skeleton.

The uncle nodded coldly: "It's on the boat, you can take it back, what I promised has been done, I hope you will also keep your promise and send back the double-faced bronze statue that originally belonged here!" ”

The fat man smiled and nodded, snapping his fingers behind him.

Four men in black suits hurriedly carried a golden coffin, followed by two old men with white hair and white beards.

When the boat was stopped, several people carried the coffin on the boat, and the two old men bent down, lit a few sticks of incense, inserted them to one side, and then lit a handful of burning paper, and when they were almost burned, they put it in the coffin.

After the whole white skeleton was put into the coffin, the four men in suits carried the coffin off the boat.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the fat man's face changed, and he asked, "What promise?" ”

Obviously, this turn was too fast, and even the uncle was quite surprised.

"What do you mean by that?" The uncle's voice raised, and he was a little more angry.

The smile on the fat man's face returned again: "I didn't mean that...... The Bai family has another more important thing to trouble you. ”

After speaking, he sneered twice.

The uncle also regained his composure in an instant, and replied coldly: "One yard to one yard, let's end this matter first!" "Weichang

The fat man's face sank: "That's not good!" Now that the matter has come to this, it is not up to you to decide. After speaking, he glanced to the sides behind him, and a malicious smile appeared on his face, full of threat.

There were more than two dozen people behind him, all of whom had fierce expressions at this time, and one hand was still in his clothes, obviously hiding knives and guns and other things.

The uncle was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Let's talk about it first!"

The fat man sneered, and a look of victory instantly appeared on his face.

"Help the Bai family go into the Thirteen Ghost Caves again and fish for one thing!"

"What's that?"

"Yellow River Ghost Coffin!"

My scalp was numb, and my uncle snorted softly: "You don't know how to measure!" ”

The fat man didn't think so, and sneered: "Proportion? What is proportion, what I Bai Jinbiao said and did is proportion! ”

The uncle sneered a few times: "What if I refuse? ”

The fat man pulled out a very delicate Swiss army knife from his waist: "That...... Then don't blame me for being rude! ”

As soon as the words fell, the two dozen men in suits behind him all pulled out their daggers with cold light and slowly surrounded the boat.

Although I didn't say anything just now, the anger had already reached the top of my head.

I think that the current physical fitness, it is estimated that it should not be a big problem to deal with three or five men in suits...... Although the uncle is in his sixties, his physical fitness is surprisingly good, and he should be able to deal with three or five ...... There are more than 20 of them, and they will definitely not be able to beat them, and the rational move is to retreat with all their thoughts......

I have no parents, and I don't have many relatives, so my uncle is counted as one...... After all, my uncle is over the age of six, so let me take the lead!

When I think about it, my heart is open.

I just wanted to take a step forward, but my uncle took the lead: "You stand still and don't move, see how your uncle and I teach this group of bastards a lesson!" ”

"Uncle, you ...... Yourself? All right? ”

"Okay, you'll find out later."

After speaking, the uncle stepped forward, pulled out the dagger, and laid it in front of him, like the momentum of a god of war.

The fat man hesitated slightly, his face suddenly showed a ruthless expression, he snorted "looking for death", and then waved his hand. More than two dozen people behind the fat man rushed up in a swarm, and this picture is very similar to the bridge in Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu".

When the first few people rushed in front of the uncle, he tossed and turned, and in a very graceful and dexterous posture, he took the initiative to rush into the crowd, and he started work with both arms, and he couldn't see how much strength he used, and the crowd was already screaming, and some people curled up to the ground in pain.

In only two or three minutes, more than two dozen people all fell, and in an instant, the wails came one after another, which made people tremble to hear.

Shocked, I couldn't help but roar.

Uncle stretched out his hand so well, he could see that he didn't use all his strength just now, so that it was also a move of "four or two thousand catties" in martial arts, and he grasped two words from beginning to end, one was "fast" so fast that everyone couldn't hit him, and the other word was "skillful", he deftly dodged everyone's attacks, and at the same time attacked the enemy with a dagger.

The fat man's face turned pale, and he pointed at his uncle tremblingly: "You...... You must not mess around, otherwise ...... Otherwise, the Bai family will not let you go. ”

The uncle didn't seem to listen to what he said, but leaned over step by step.

When the uncle took the first few steps, the fat man's mouth was still very hard, and he said two words that I didn't understand clearly, obviously holding on, and then suddenly he sat on the ground on his back like a deflated ball.

"You know me...... Who am I...... Hurt me, you...... Your whole village will be punished. ”

The uncle was unimpressed and continued to walk a few steps forward.

More than a dozen meters away, I could clearly see the despair in the fat man's eyes at this moment.

"You...... What do you want? ”

The uncle had already walked in front of him and glared at the fat man coldly: "I can give you one last chance, and send the bronze statue of the double face within three days, otherwise it will ......"

The uncle didn't say the rest of the sentence.

The fat man nodded again and again with a pale face.

Uncle turned around and returned to the boat again, smiling at me: "Nephew, let's row back!" ”

When the two of them returned to Donghu Village, it was already past noon, and my uncle and I talked about the Bai family all the way, and I could see that his complexion was very bad, and I don't know if it was related to the fact that he had just spent too much energy on it.

"The power of the Bai family should not be underestimated! There are even many people who are among the high-level in black and white, and as for the extent to which the officials have done, no one may know this except for a few principals of their family. ”

I nodded: "The surname Bai is not a big surname, among the officials, how many people with the surname Bai are counted as their family?" ”

The uncle shook his head: "The reason why the Bai family has prospered for more than a hundred years is not only because of the protection of the Yellow River ghost coffin, but also because of the fact that their family's own way of doing things is simple and efficient, focusing on substance, and not caring about vanity. In order to 'hide' themselves, they changed all the surnames and names of this part of their careers in advance. ”

I was so surprised that I stuck out my tongue.

"You mean to say that Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, and Zhao Liu may all be hidden Bai family members?"

Uncle nodded.

"The Bai family still wants to get that coffin?"

Uncle gave me a blank look: "This is not nonsense! ”

I smiled awkwardly: "I mean, since their family is so powerful, just find a few hundred people, get a few more excavators, and directly bulldoze the thirteen ghost caves of the Yellow River, or simply find a random name and blow up the thirteen ghost caves, isn't this a hundred?" ”

Uncle once again looked at me with the eyes of a fool, and said coldly: "Don't you know that rivers, mountains, and rivers all have spirituality, and some of them can't be touched. ”

I smiled and shook my head: "I don't know much about Feng Shui metaphysics. ”

As he spoke, he had reached the river on the west side of Higashito Village, and just as he was about to get off the boat, he heard a crackling firecracker sound from the village.

Who will marry a daughter-in-law?

When the uncle heard the sound of firecrackers, he laughed and muttered, "This may be a good result!" ”

"Ah," I leaned over and asked, "What's the result?" ”

The uncle smiled and shook his head: "You'll know later." ”

The two quickly walked to the entrance of the village, and happened to meet Li Bo riding a motorcycle out of the village, his mouth grinning into flowers.

When he saw the two of us, he stopped.

"Is there anything happy in the village? Why are you so happy! And set off firecrackers? ”

Li Bo replied with a smile: "It's a happy event, a great happy event!" Uncle Zhou's father and daughter have found it and have returned home! ”
