Horror in the Ravine Chapter 9 Newspaper Doors
Just as I was sitting in front of the campfire with my gun in my arms, the woman came over and smiled at me, and I could see that her smile contained a lot of things, helplessness, guilt, and a hint of self-deprecation.
"Thank you, if it weren't for your help, none of us would have been able to escape!"
"Hey, you're so polite, I have to thank yourselves, if you hadn't tied me up to that cave, I wouldn't have a chance to save you!" I took the opportunity to taunt, thinking that your face can fool me once, but you will never fool me a second time.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it, this opportunity is not easy to come by, I don't want to be ruined by you!"
"Hard-won? That's right, this is something that few of us locals know about, let alone you as an outsider. I feigned disdain.
"You know this?" The woman seemed surprised.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it! I tell you, no one knows this better than I do! ”
"Really? Did you know there was a toast tomb here? ”
Tusi Tomb? I was stunned for a moment, I know the toast, just a slice of bread, and now I am calling it a foreign name, but what is this toast tomb?
"What kind of toast, what did you say?" I asked, puzzled.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then replied to me and asked:
"What did you say?"
"Didn't you come in search of treasure? Just those bandits! ”
"Looking for treasure? What treasure? ”
"Treasure! Aren't you here for the gold, silver, and jewels that the robbers brought? "I'm a little disappointed, and a little puzzled, in this poor ravine, except for the legend of the bandits, there is nothing special.
"You think we're thieves? I know there have been robbers here, but I've never heard of gold, silver and jewelry, and I'll tell you the truth, I don't lack that money, and I can't afford to take such a big risk for money! "The woman was angry and seemed to be an insult to her to treat them as thieves.
But the fact is that they are digging in the ground in the middle of the night, whether it is for money or not, they are always unsightly, right, what is not a thief?
"Well, even if you're not in it for the treasure, then tell me, what are you digging under the ground?" I asked.
The woman stared at me for a long time, and then stopped, and at last she did not answer me, but sighed, and said:
"It doesn't matter what you dig, everyone is done, it seems that this trip has come in vain!"
The woman said it very bleakly, and her lovely face inevitably made people feel pity.
At this moment, another man who had stayed behind came over, and he had been working in the canvas tent while I was talking to the woman.
I took one look at this man, and it turned out that he was the one with claustrophobia, the first person I saved.
"Little brother, thank you so much for being in that cave just now, you accept this money, it will be regarded as compensation for our previous offense, if it is not enough, you can add more!"
The man sat down next to me, pulled out a stack of money, and I looked at it, at least a thousand!
I glanced at the woman again, and saw that her eyes were misty, and she was so engrossed in the fire that she didn't react to the stack of coins at all.
Although this more than 1,000 yuan is worth a month's salary, looking at the woman's expression, I don't want to be too embarrassed, so I said:
"One yard to one yard, I should save you, and others will do the same!"
The man smiled, put the money in my hand, patted my hand and said:
"It's because one yard is one yard, we offended you, and we can still give some money, and you can't offset it with money if you save our lives.
My name is Xiang Wei, this is my business card, her name is Qiu Yan, what use do you have for us in the future, just mention it! ”
I took the business card and looked at it, it said "Xiang's Tourism Development Co., Ltd.", and Xiang Wei's name was the general manager.
After reading the business card, when I looked at Xiang Wei again, I found that he was no longer the cowardly bag he had in the cave before.
At this time, Qiu Yan came back to her senses, she looked at Xiang Wei, as if seeking some answer, and I saw Xiang Wei nodding at her meaningfully.
Then, Qiu Yan looked at me and asked:
"By the way, I don't know your name yet!"
I could hear that the woman tried her best to be enthusiastic, but her tone sounded a little reluctant to me, perhaps because of her nature, or because she was frustrated at this moment, and she was really not in the mood to talk to me.
As the saying goes, if the mouth is short, the hand is short, and if I take more than a thousand yuan, even if she doesn't have a good face, I will greet her with a smile, I put away the money and business cards, and then replied:
"He Zimu!"
"He Zimu, it's very good-sounding, and it's easy to remember, are you a Tujia?"
I nodded, although I don't know what the Tujia people look like, but what is written on my ID card is the Tujia family, and my mother said that their family is Tujia, so I am naturally also a Tujia family.
"When I was in the cave, I saw that pendant of yours, who gave it to you?"
After hearing this, I became vigilant, thinking that this woman should not be able to dig up treasures, and she should be worried about my things again!
I subconsciously pinched the pendant with my hand and held the airsoft gun in my arms again.
This woman has a needle in her cotton, I have already suffered a loss, so it is impossible to fall for her again.
Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei glanced at each other, and then said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I don't want anything from you, I just think that pendant is a little familiar, and I just want to know where it came from."
I was about to say that this pendant was handed down by my ancestors, when I heard the voice of the old forest head behind me.
At this time, I found that it was already dawn, and it is estimated that the old forest head woke up and found that I was not there, so he came out to look for me.
I answered Lao Lin's head, and then said to Qiu Yan:
"If there is anything to talk about later, put out the fire quickly, if the old forest head sees it, he will not be as polite as me!"
We hurried and hurried, and finally put out the fire before the old forest head arrived, but how could we not find out if we were as experienced as the old forest head!
"I said Zimu, why don't you clean up those rabbit bones too? Not to mention that I saw smoke from afar, just the traces on the ground, and the smell of the air, I also knew that you had burned a fire all night! Old Lin Tou ignored the other two, but counted them all at me.
"Hehe, Master, I only found out that they were making a fire late last night, and I thought that this big man couldn't let people go back overnight, so I stayed and watched them, you see, isn't there nothing going on!" I said with a shy smile.
"Well, it's okay to lose, if there is something wrong, I don't think I need to look for you, just send you to prison!"
