They used shovels to pry open the lid of the coffin, get the body out, and casually hit the ground. The moon came out from behind the clouds and shone on the pale face of the corpse.

They prepared the cart, put the husk on it, covered it with a blanket, and tied it with rope: Potter took out a large knife and cut off the cart sagging? Come down the end of the rope and say:

"Doctor, this damn thing is ready now. Take another five bucks, or don't get it. ”

"Yes, that's right!" Indians. Joe said.

The doctor asked, "I have already "Hey, as you asked," and I said, what do you mean? I've given you money. Indian. Joe said as he walked up to the already standing, "Not bad,

But that's not all. ”

I went to your father's kitchen to ask for something to eat, and you came to the doctor. "Five years ago a late than. Put the limit out, and you still say that it is not good for me to go to the kitchen: since then, I have made a whole hair: it has taken Chu a hundred years of hard work,

I'm going to settle you too. Your father imprisoned me in a bungalow because I was blind. Do you think I'm going to give up? The blood of the Indians is not shed in vain, and now that you are in my hands, you have to pay for it. ”

Speaking of which, he has already begun to threaten him with his fists waving in front of the doctor.

Tom saw this scene and scared himself so much that he was about to pee.

The doctor threw a sudden punch and knocked the villain to the ground, and Potter threw away the knife and shouted, "Hey, you dare to hit my friend!" Followed by

He scuffled with the doctor. The two men fought desperately, stepping on the grass on the ground and kicking the dirt flying.

Indians. Joe quickly got up from the ground, his eyes burning with rage, grabbed the knife that Potter had thrown on the ground, and bent over like a cat to quietly circle around the two men who were fighting, looking for an opportunity.

Suddenly, the Medic jerked his opponent out of the way, grabbed the heavy tombstone on Williams' grave, and knocked Potter to the ground. At the same time, the bastard took the opportunity to stab the doctor in the chest at once.

The Medic shook and collapsed, leaning on top of Potter. Potter was covered in blood. At this time, the dark clouds obscured the terrible scene, and the two frightened children hurriedly ran away in the darkness.

The doctor muttered something, gasped for a long breath or two, and then died quietly. The bastard also said:

"That account is a shitty one."

He then searched the corpse again, and then he placed the murderous knife in Potter's open hand and sat down on the pried open coffin.

Three-one-four-four-five minutes passed, and that's when Potter began to move, and began to moan. His hand gripped the knife. He raised his knife and glanced at it, then froze as it fell to the ground. Then he sat up. Push away and look at his corpse, then look at it for a while, and then look around and feel puzzled.

His gaze met Joe's.

"Oh my God, what's going on, Joe?" He said.

"This is a mess," Qiao said without moving, "why do you want to do this?"

"Me! I didn't do that. ’

"Listen! How can you rely on this? ’

Potter trembled with fear, and his face turned pale.

"I think I'm going to sober up, I didn't want to drink tonight, but I'm still confused in my head right now, even better than when we were here. I'm so groggy now that I can't recall anything.

Tell me, Joe, man, to be honest, did I do it? Joe, I don't want to do that. Heaven and earth conscience, I don't want to do that at all, Joe, tell me what's going on? Joe? Oh, it's terrible, he's so young and promising, and he has a great future. ”

"Hey, it's just that the two of you got into a scuffle, and he hit you with a tombstone sign, and you were smashed and fell down.

Then you get up, staggering to your feet, and just like that, you snatch the knife and stab him in the body. Then he struck you again, and you lay here.

Like in the past, unconscious, lying until now. ”

"Ah, I don't know what I've done. If I had been conscious, I would have died right now. I think it's all because the whiskey was playing tricks and it was impulsive at the time. Joe, I haven't used a murder weapon before. I've been in a fight, but I've never used a murder weapon.

People know that. Don't tell me about it, Joe! Joe, you said you wouldn't say it, that's funny. Joe, I've always liked you, and I've always been on your side. Have you forgotten? Joe, you're not going to tell it, are you?" So the poor fellow, clasping his hands together, fell down in supplication before the cruel murderer.

"Yes, Muffport,

You've always treated me well, and I'm not sorry for you. Well, I'm fair and reasonable. ”

"Ah, Joe, you are truly compassionate. I want to bless you for the rest of your life. Potter started crying. Oh come on, don't say any more. Now is not the time to cry your nose. You go from that side, go now, and don't leave any footprints. ”

Potter started at a trot and soon started running. The bastard stood there, looking at his back, and muttered to himself, "He took a blow,

The wine didn't wake up, and looking at him like that, he couldn't remember this knife anymore. Even if he remembered it, he had already run out for ten miles. He alone would not dare to come back here to get the knife, this coward. ”

After two or three minutes, only the moonlight shone on the murdered man, the body wrapped in a blanket, the coffin without a lid, and the dug grave, and everything was calm again.

The two children, out of fear, did not say a word, but ran as fast as they could towards the village. “

Before you get tired, if only you could run to the old tannery in one go!" Breathless, Tom whispered, "I can't run." ”

Huckleberry was also panting heavily, making it clear that they were in the same situation right now. After the meeting they calmed down, Tom whispered:

"Huckleberry, what do you think will happen to this?"

"If Dr. Robinson were to die, I think he would be hanged." karma

"Really?"

"Well, I know, Tom. ”。 Xu Nian Ruo is determined to do not race the small book," Tom thought for a while, and then said:

"Then who will expose it?" Is it us?"

"Where are you going, in case things don't go your way, Indian. Joe didn't go to the gallows, so what to do? Sooner or later, he will take our lives. ”

From my "Huck, that's exactly what I thought in my heart. "Recording the machine street, the piece wants to be the master of Xiaole jumping gold

"If you want to expose it, let Move.

Potter, that fool, go to a thousand! He was always drunk. ”

Tom didn't squeak, still thinking. After a while, he whispered: "Face the city and think about reading." Kyoi: "Huck, Mofport doesn't know what's wrong, how can he tell him?" Su Nian Xiaonian set up "Why didn't he know that something was wrong?"

"Indians. He had just taken a blow when Joe made his move, what else do you think he could see?

What else can you know?

"Yours, yes, that's right, Tom."

"Besides, if you think about that blow again, it might kill him!"

"No, it can't be, Tom. He was drinking at the time, I can tell the stone, let alone the fact that he was drinking in the hall. My dad is such a man, if he gets drunk, you're going to put a church on his head. Don't want to alarm him.

That's what he said himself. So Moff: Potter is no exception. But then again, if you hadn't been drinking, that blow might have killed you, and I can't tell. ”

After pondering for a while, Tom said:

"Huck, aren't you sure you're going to say it?"

"Tom, we have to keep a word, you know. If only that ghost Indian. Joe wasn't hanged and we leaked the news,

Then he'll drown us both like two kittens. Well, listen, Tom, now we swear to each other that we must do this and never let the word go. ”

"I agree. It couldn't be better. Okay, please raise your hand and swear: I. We...."..

"Oh, no, no, no, you can't just raise your hand and swear. This can only be used for small things like the ladies swearing. They swore in front of them, and then they forgot all about it,

I sold you in a fit of rage. For a big event like ours today, it's not enough to swear with bare mouths, but to write it down and make a bloody alliance.

Hearing him say this, Tom was so impressed. It was a dark night, and it was dark all around, which was terrifying. This time, here, and this scene is exactly the right time for this atmosphere. He picked up a clean pine plank from the ground by moonlight, and took out a large and small "red inkstone" from his pocket.

It took a lot of effort for him to draw the following sentences:

Huck. Finn and Tom. Sawyer swore to the heavens: We will keep secrets, and if there is the slightest selfishness and false leakage, we are willing to die on the spot, and there are no bones left.

"Oh, that's terrible, I don't want that! If that's the case,

I'd rather go back to sleep by myself! "Tomton was terrified.

Huckleberry was convinced by Tom's fluent writing and loud content. He immediately took a pin from the collar of his clothes and was about to bleed to himself, when Tom's mother said, "Don't be busy! This will not work. The pins are made of copper and may have a patina on them. ”

"What's that?"

"Whatever it is, it's poisonous on it anyway. Otherwise, you can swallow some now, and you will look good. ”

So Tom took out a needle and removed the thread. The two children each poked their thumbs and squeezed out two drops of blood. Then they squeezed it several more times, and Tom immediately dipped his little finger in it

target

Blood wrote the initials of his name. He also taught Huck to write H and F, and that was the end of the oath. They chanted incantations and performed dry burial rituals,

The pine planks were buried against the wall. They thought that along with the burial was the shackles that had locked their tongues, and therefore there was no need for the key.

quiet

At this time, on the other side of the dilapidated building, a figure sneaked in from the gap.

two

But they didn't notice it.

"Tom," Huckleberry whispered, "that way, we're not going to leak secrets, ever, are we?"
