I am somewhat familiar with these three words, but I can't remember where I heard them, looking at Qiu Yan's shocked expression, as if she had found some major clues.

"What the hell?" I asked.

Qiu Yan handed me the mask in her hand and said:

"Do you remember what Uncle Peng said about the legend here?"

I recalled, Old Man Peng said several legends, but I can't remember where to mention the ghost head village, the only thing I remember inviting was the young Tima thing.

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Qiu Yan continued:

"You forgot? Uncle Peng said that the person buried here is the owner of a Tujia village, and the name of the village is called Ghost Head Village! ”

After Qiu Yan's reminder, I was really impressed, but what does this ghost village have to do with this mask? It's not that this mask looks like a ghost to prove that the owner of the tomb is a person from the ghost head village.

I asked Qiu Yan why she thought this was the mask of the ghost head village, and Qiu Yan shook her head and said:

"I don't know, anyway, when I saw that mask for the first time, those three words immediately popped into my head."

At this time, Xiang Wei and the others had already packed all the things in the coffin, and he was arranging for the three people to pile up the coffins at the moment, it seemed that he was going to cremate these bones.

The time was close to the afternoon, and after Xiang Wei and the others were busy with their work, Qiu Yan beckoned them to come over to eat, saying that they were in a hurry to eat early.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, there was no difference between rushing at this time and traveling at night, and if we angered the white-haired monster, unless we grew wings out of thin air, we would not be faster than the white-haired monster with all four legs.

Xiang Wei knew what I was worried about, but he didn't seem to care, he lit a handful of hay with a lighter, and threw it into the coffin pile, which crackled and boiled in a short time.

Xiang Wei came this time, brought some vegetables and fresh food, and specially brought some of her favorite fruits for Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan cooked a big pot of vegetable porridge, and we took out the dried meat and ate a full meal with vegetable porridge.

During the meal, I told Old Man Peng about my worries, and after listening to this, Old Man Peng turned his head to look at the burden piled on the back of the mule and horse, and asked in surprise:

"What are you talking about? Did you really find the mandrill's den? ”

I nodded.

Old man Peng wiped his mouth full of stubble and said loudly:

"That's the gods, you have emptied its nest, and you are not afraid of retribution?"

Old man Peng's voice attracted the attention of the others, and I quickly interrupted him and said:

"Oh, you don't care if the gods are not gods, you tell me, if that thing comes after us, we have a place to hide?"

Old man Peng seemed to be very angry, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, sighed and said:

"He boy, He boy, you guys are really bold, digging dead graves, burning dead bones, and now you dare to provoke the gods, I want to know that you are so ignorant of the sky and the earth, I really shouldn't have brought you here!"

I gave Old Man Peng a look again and again, signaling him to be quieter, but Old Man Peng was not moved by me at all, so I had to interrupt him again and said:

"Uncle Peng, my good uncle, things are already like this, now put things back, one is too late, and the other is that they won't do it, just tell me if you have a way?"

Old man Peng glanced at me, and finally said:

"What can I do, I can only rush to Xiawan Village first, and then find a way when I get to the village!"

"The village? There is not even a lockable house in the village, is it safe? ”

Old man Peng took out the cigarette pouch rod from his waist, lit it, and said:

"Then what do you say, there is no one in the vicinity of twenty miles, and if you don't spend the night in the village, you can only spend the night in the forest, you can choose each one."

I looked at the table below, and it was almost two o'clock, and it was less than five hours before dark, which was enough for us to walk through the village, but not enough for us to walk out of the woods.

The forest is a world of animals, and the white-haired monster is burly and has long limbs, and when we enter the forest, we are equivalent to getting on its chopping board.

I thought about it for a while, then moved to Qiu Yan's side and told her the result of the discussion I had just had with Old Man Peng.

After listening to my words, Qiu Yan called Xiang Wei over, and then repeated what I said.

Who knew that Xiang Wei didn't care at all after hearing this, but laughed out loud, he patted my leg and said:

"He Zimu, you are too timid, speaking of which, isn't that white-haired monster just a big monkey? Not to mention that there is only one of them, even if there are ten of them, I can keep you safe and sound. ”

Xiang Wei's voice is still the voice I heard in Dong'ergou before, and even before this departure, I didn't notice that he had changed, but I don't know why, after this meeting, Xiang Wei's tone changed, I don't know if he was aimed at me, but his tone sounded very uncomfortable to me.

"Even if we can deal with it, we'd better deal with it in the village, otherwise, if we go into the forest, it's night, and I'm worried that there will be an accident." I endured the unhappiness and patiently persuaded me.

In the end, Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei exchanged glances and agreed with my opinion: go down the mountain first, spend the night in the village, and then hurry tomorrow at dawn.

After the meal, we buried the coffins that had long been burned to ashes with earth, and finally the old man Peng knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and we began to walk down the mountain.

It took us about an hour to walk down the hill, and then we found the house where Qiu Yan and I stayed before, and this time there were many people, and we cleaned the whole house before settling down.

The big security guard named Xu Jinshan seemed to be very dissatisfied with living in this dilapidated house, and when he cleaned up, he always muttered that it was still so bright, why not continue to hurry, he said that even if he lived in a tent outside, it was better than living here.

None of us paid any attention to him, only Long Quan smiled and asked him to say less.

After settling in, I took a closer look at the three security guards, Xu Jinshan was a typical northern man, speaking with a Shandong accent, acting and speaking with style.

Liang Wen is a little shorter, doesn't talk much, works hard, and is neatly dressed, so he looks like a delicate person.

Finally, there is Long Quan, this person's figure is about the same as Liang Wen, a little thinner, with thick eyebrows, and his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled, unlike Xu Jinshan and Liang Wen's inch head, Long Quan has a fashionable broken hair, not like he came out of the army.

Interestingly, Long Quan always held a one-meter-long stick in his hand, the diameter of the stick was about five or six centimeters, the surface was very rough, and it looked like a very ordinary cedar stick, but I don't know why, he never left this stick, he either used this stick to carry some luggage, or directly inserted it into the waist.

I quietly inquired about the origin of these two people, and Xiang Wei said that the two were security guards who had retired from the army, and Long Quan was the manager of the security department and came out of the martial arts school.

In other words, these three people are all strong and good at fighting, I listened to Xiang Wei's introduction, and I relaxed a little, indeed, there are a few men here, and my worry about the white-haired monster is a little less.

It gets dark quickly in the afternoon, and the village is at the foot of the mountain and the trees are lush, so once the sun goes down on the mountain, it will be a dark place.

I asked Erwa to call all the dogs into the house, and asked Long Quan and the others to close the doors and windows of the four places, and then returned to the house to cook dinner with Qiu Yan.

Who knew that when I returned to the fire, I found that there was no room for me, only to see Xiang Wei take a handkerchief wrapped around his head, and surrounded Qiu Yan for a while to bring her vegetables and then to hand her condiments, during which he also laughed from time to time, which made Qiu Yan tremble.

I couldn't stand this scene, so I took a piece of dried meat and sat down against Old Man Peng while chewing it.

"The two of them are~~" Old man Peng pointed at Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei with a cigarette stick and asked, then looked at me and then sighed and turned the conversation, "I thought you two were~~"

I tore off a strip of dried meat, stuffed it in my mouth, and said with a smile:

"People are childhood sweethearts, the door is right, where can I get my turn!"

"Hey, the girl doesn't talk about that set of drops, which one coaxes her to be happy, she will follow which, if you don't coax, where will you know if it's your turn or not!" Old man Peng said with choking smoke in his mouth.

I turned my head to look at Old Man Peng and quipped:

"Yo, old man Peng, you still know a lot!"

Old man Peng smiled, spat a cigarette in my face, and said:

"That's right, it's not like my old man hasn't slept with women, when I was young, those girls were rushing to sleep with me, you little baby, you're still very tender!"

Just when I was arguing with Old Man Peng, suddenly there was a loud noise at the door, and then the whole house shook with it, Old Man Peng quickly put away the cigarette stick, got up and looked at the roof and said:

"Come on!"

At this time, even a fool knew what was coming, so I hurriedly pulled out my dagger and slowly moved towards the door.

Who knew that as soon as I moved to the door, there was another loud bang, as if the door had been hit by something, and after the loud noise, there was a terrible moan.

I glanced back at the big guys, and when I saw that they were all in full swing, I reached out and opened the door.

When the door opened, it was still the same as before, nothing, and I cautiously poked my head out and looked to the sides, but I still couldn't see anything.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a gust of wind overhead, and before I could raise my eyes to look, I was pushed to the ground by someone behind me.

Immediately afterwards I heard something smashing into the house, and men and beasts screaming in unison.

The man who knocked me down was Long Quan, and when I saw him clearly, he was closing the door.

Long Quan closed the door, took a few more pieces of wood on top of it, and at last he approached me, pulled me up, and said:

"The white-haired monster is in the tree in front of the door."

I was still a little dazed in my mind, and I didn't think carefully about Long Quan's words, when I saw a small pit on the ground inside the house, and there was dirt scattered around the pit, and next to the dirt, there was a stone the size of a man's head.

I understand, it was these stones that made a loud noise before, Long Quan said that the white-haired monster was on the tree in front of the door, then it means that it was smashing our house with these stones, and if Long Quan hadn't pushed me down just now, the stone in the house would have been smashed on my head.
