Chapter 17: The Dead

After a while, the rest of the people walked up to the arched fog bridge and walked to the boat. The boat continued on its way, disappearing down the canyon course.

I stared at the vanished ship, not knowing when I fell asleep again.

I was woken up.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw several big men staring at me with calm faces.

I was taken aback myself.

When I looked at the place where I slept, I jumped in shock.

A large grave was built on a hillside, and I slept next to a tribute.

"Who are you? Why did you come to our ancestral grave in Lijiaping? Want to steal? ”

I was shocked myself, and my head was foggy. Turning his head, he saw a paper boat on the grave, five stories high, with various ribbons tied to the erected mast.

Thinking about what happened last night, I realized that maybe it wasn't a dream.

At the foot is the canyon, and the rushing Yunhe River has boats coming and going day and night. But last night, there was only one boat on the Yun River.

The people in Li Jiaping glared at me angrily, and a few of them were so angry that they almost moved with me.

I hurriedly explained that I had spent the night at Lehi's house yesterday, probably sleepwalking in the middle of the night and had come here.

The faces of the people in the village changed.

"Which Lehi?"

"It's Lehi at the entrance of the village."

"What nonsense, Lehi has been dead for two years, and I think he's here to steal." The big man behind the village chief said that he wanted to come and beat me.

"Dead for two years? No way, yesterday he took us in a car and told us to stay at his house. ”

The village chief stretched out his hand to stop him, and his face was very unpleasant.

"You're alone?"

I said that I had a companion, and if I didn't believe it, I would call Boss Wang.

I took out my mobile phone and couldn't get through to Boss Wang's phone. I'm also anxious.

The village chief looked at me and said that I didn't look like a bad person, and asked his son, Li Zhao, who had been trying to beat me, to accompany me to Li Hai's house.

"Dad, do you really believe him?" Li Zhao said unconvinced.

The village chief and several old people in the village had bad faces, and the village chief shouted: "If you are told to go, you will go, your wings are stiff, right, don't you listen to Lao Tzu?" ”

Li Zhao sighed, glared at me fiercely, and led the way in front.

We walked down the hill to the village road.

It took more than twenty minutes to walk to the road.

The house of the Lehi family was built next to the road.

"Come and see for yourself!" Li Zhao stopped at the door of Lehi's house and told me to see for myself.

Needless to say, I saw it, the yard had already fallen, the main house had collapsed in half, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it had long since become what it was inhabited by.

I gasped.

There were no guest rooms in the courtyard either, and the location where Lehi had led us yesterday was a makeshift shed.

The van was still parked in front of Li Hai's house, and Boss Wang should not have left yet. I trotted over and saw Boss Wang lying on the ground on all fours, sleeping soundly.

Luckily, it's summer, and if it's winter, we'll both have to freeze to death here.

I woke up Boss Wang and asked him to accept the facts in front of him.

Li Zhao frowned and stood outside the door, probably wondering if the two people in front of him were insane.

When Boss Wang got up from the ground with a complicated face and asked me to help him, he couldn't get back pain after sleeping on the hard floor all night.

"No matter what you are doing in Lijiaping, leave me quickly." Li Zhao said.

"Wait a minute, do you know Du Nianrong?" I stopped Li Zhao. Li Zhao pursed his lips, "Is it a missing female college student?" The police also came to ask, but they didn't see or know each other. If you're looking for her, you're in the wrong place. ”

When Boss Wang and I returned to the car, we both felt speechless.

Boss Wang rubbed his waist and threw the jade Buddha on his neck in front of the car, so angry that he couldn't do it, "That old Zhang, you will sell me a fake!" ”

Boss Wang asked me about last night, and I told them one by one. When I said that my shoulder hurt, I hurriedly peeled off my clothes and saw that the red mark on my shoulder seemed to be deeper.

Fortunately, it didn't rot, which proves that I still have some time.

"Hmph, this woman saved your life. It was a ferryboat, and I heard it was coming to pick up the dead. If you want to go up, will you come back alive? Boss Wang smoked a cigarette and muttered bad luck.

I remember yesterday vividly, but it felt like a dream.

Since the mark on my shoulder reacts, does it mean I've come to the right place?

Boss Wang drove the car and drove forward for more than ten minutes, coming to a col next to a canyon.

The abandoned houses left behind by the investors are still there, but they are also deserted.

Boss Wang squatted at the gate and looked in, "Xiao Yang, my old waist is about to break, no, okay, why don't you go in and have a look?" ”

I felt helpless about Boss Wang's sudden picking. After all, it's my business, and it's not interesting to force Boss Wang to go in with me.

I said yes and asked him to borrow the copper coin sword and pin it to his waist. But after what happened last night, we don't have any hope for the few things we just bought.

I take pure self-comfort.

This piece of house covers a large area, and many small western-style buildings that have not been built are lost here, which is a pity.

The surroundings were deserted, and all kinds of plants were growing wildly from the cracks in the concrete floor.

Because it was daytime, I wasn't particularly scared, I just walked down aimlessly. I didn't even know what I was looking for.

I kept walking forward, and when I came to the front of a building, I suddenly felt a shiver.

That building is the best and most complete decoration of these buildings, and there is ×× company administration building hanging on it, which should be the company's office.

The black hole stood quietly, and I had the feeling that the truth seemed to be inside.

But I just couldn't take a step forward.

The summer sun is very strong, and I always walk in the shade of the trees. But there were no trees around the building, so I just stood in the sun, and soon I was sweating profusely.

But no matter how hard I tried, my feet were like they were nailed to the ground, and I couldn't move half a minute. At the same time, the fear kept coming out of my heart, and I almost screamed.

I don't know how long I stood in front of the building, until I felt like I couldn't stand anymore and my whole body could move. I sat on the floor, limp, sweating profusely, and it took me a while to walk out of the factory.

"What's wrong?" Boss Wang asked me.

I don't have to look in the mirror, and I know that I definitely don't look good now.

I waved my hand, and drank the mineral water handed over by Boss Wang in one gulp before telling me what I had just seen.

Boss Wang slapped his thigh, "This is it, the clue should be in that building." ”

"But you can't get in, or Master Wang will go out in person?" I say.

Boss Wang covered his waist and sighed, "I'm a half-level, don't you call me a master and break my life?" I wonder if there's a way. He pulled out a bottle of mineral water from the car, which contained a black-red liquid.

"Chicken blood. Come and touch the top of your head, it should work. "Boss Wang poured some and directly smeared it on my face and forehead.

The taste is disgusting.

"Boss Wang, I'll hold you." I was terrified just by standing in front of that building, and if I really went in, I couldn't get out.

Boss Wang can't pick a son now.

Boss Wang was also embarrassed to play tricks on me, so he stood up in a daze and wiped some chicken blood on his face.

"Let's go."
