Turning over the ridge mountain, overcoming all the thorns and thorns, rushed to the ridge mountain township at sunset. The sunset illuminates the ridge mountain grass and trees more magnificent. Four or five families are close together, not lonely.

"There are mountains and forests in front and back, and these people are special enough." Zhou Xiaoyi always thought that his hometown was very remote, but now he is easily compared. Relying on self-sufficiency, the paradise is a bit absurd, just like the people on the other side of the mountain, the family has died for more than ten years in vain, and no one knows.

"No, there should be little smoke at this time, and the whole dinner time should be done, why do you look at these houses and ...... quietly," the Lou Craftsman wondered.

"Shouldn't it all be ......," Lou Xiaoguang took over.

"Definitely not, it's not that anyone has been here and said they have seen Dr. Yang." Lou Mingjiang denied his son's speculation.

Director Long also had doubts and asked if Han Tong's source could be reliable.

Han Tong thought for a moment and said, "It's an old man who often picks medicines, and I'm very sure of it...... He also said that this mountain township existed in the old society, and there were few households, and the mountain was far away from the emperor, and it was never included in the first management ranks. It stands to reason that they should move out, and their lives are much more convenient, but they stick to one acre and three points of land, which may be related to the legend that has been passed down for a hundred years. ”

Lou Mingjiang hurriedly said: "I have also heard that it is said that a general was given to death during the Yongzheng period hundreds of years ago, and his orphan went away to the countryside and settled here, generation after generation, in order to guard the tomb of the ancestors. ……”

Several houses are in the shape of a "convex" character, and they are all very ordinary buildings. The houses on both sides were empty, and the kitchen stove was dusty. It's not hard to speculate that it hasn't been inhabited for a long time.

The only hope is the protruding one, the courtyard house, which is antique. The gate was rusty and unlocked.

Han Tong and sea seals took the lead, and everyone spied in step by step.

After searching a few rooms, there was no one, and he was about to move closer to the only ancestral hall that had not been investigated, when suddenly a black cat jumped from the roof, and with a "meow" sound, Niu Qiao'er was frightened, and he grabbed Zhou Xiaoyi's hand directly, his face was colorless, and his chest trembled.

Su Niang looked at Niu Qiao'er with some puzzlement, obviously Li Qiqi relied on her closely, but she ran over and grabbed Zhou Xiaoyi's hand, recalling Lou Xiaoguang's words last night, could it be ......

Unconsciously, my heart seemed to have been cut by something, and it hurt a little.

Han Tong and the fur seals entered first and let out exclamations.

A gray-haired old man knelt limply in front of the rows of spirit cards, staring at a pair of dead and empty eyes, and his mouth was babbling nonsense, no one could understand it, it was to the ancestors...... What to state.

Several old men of the age of sixties were lying on their sides, bleeding all over the ground, some of which condensed into a dark black.

There was a faint disgusting stench wafting through the air.

"The old people were hacked to death with knives, as if the other party was a master, and they were killed with a knife." After checking it, the fur seal frowned and said.

Who is it that these old people who are powerless to attack them, is there any deep hatred?

Geng Hao wore a pair of glasses, and he was easy to be approached, and looked at Director Long with an inquiring gaze. Director Long was already full of doubts, and of course gave a positive look.

"Old man, old man......" Geng Hao greeted softly.

The old man was still muttering something......

Listening carefully, there are still some eyebrows, what is sorry for the ancestors of the Long family, what disturbs the purity, what descendants are not filial, and so on. Some of them are confusing.

Geng Hao was a little impatient and raised his voice: "There was a murder here, we were sent by the National Security Bureau, and we need to understand the situation in detail." ”

This trick worked, pulling the old man back from his uninterrupted self-blame, staring at everyone one by one with a pair of desperate eyes.

"That's our leader, Director Long." Geng Hao pointed to Director Long, who was a little bloated and ruddy-faced.

"The group also claimed to be from the Archaeological Bureau, and there was also one who claimed to be the director." Old man 4 said.

"We're really from the NSA, and this is the ID." Geng Hao couldn't laugh or cry a little, and took out his documents.

The old man didn't check it, and muttered to himself: "They were brought by their own grandson, and they also showed up their documents......"

Geng Hao was speechless.

The old man closed his eyes and pondered, as if challenging everyone's patience. The fur dog couldn't hold his breath the most, and scolded: "Old guy, you are dead here, you are the most suspicious, why don't you explain the problem clearly, believe it or not, handcuff you?" ”

The old man opened his eyes, looked at the fur dog with a fierce face, smiled dryly, and said, "I am left alone, and I am old, and I won't live long, so I will no longer hide it, and I will say ......."

In an instant, the old man fell into memory: "The ancestor of my Long family used to be a general in the Yongzheng period, because he was dissatisfied with the tyranny of Yongzheng, he often condemned the current government in front of his friends, but he was anonymously reported by his friends, and he was beheaded all over the house. ”

"The Long clan has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and there are more than 100 people at the peak of their popularity, but more than ten years ago, they often disappeared inexplicably, and no one died or a corpse was seen.

"The atmosphere of panic shrouded Langshan, and some clansmen moved their families one after another, until now, we old people are left to persist in ......"

Zhou Xiaoyi suddenly interjected: "There are five people living on the other side of the mountain, who died more than ten years ago, and now they have become dry bones, and no one ...... bury them."

There was no surprise on the old man's face, as if he was listening to a story.

"They were suddenly attacked, and it was guessed that it was some unknown beast that fed on their hearts,......" Zhou Xiaoyi said as he checked the old man, trying to determine if the same thing had happened.

"Huh!" The old man's face was no longer a smile, and it was a little abrupt: "There are people in the clan who have such rumors......

"When the clan leaves, it must have violated the ancestral teachings, I have some doubts, as the ancestral teachings, it should be imprinted in my heart since I was a child, and I will never say that I will leave, you always acquiesce, right? …… It is aimed at protecting the clansmen, not cutting off children and grandchildren for the so-called ancestral training. Zhou Xiaoyi said.

The old man nodded appreciatively: "Hey, I have to do it as a last resort, I hope my ancestors will forgive." ”

"Zhou Xiaoyi, don't talk too much...... Tell us, old fellow, what's going on now? Don't talk about your rambling past. The fur dog scolded. He was almost disabled by Su Niang, and he was resentful of Zhou Xiaoyi and his wife, and because of the cooperation between the two sides, he didn't dare to make trouble, so he could only soothe his mood with a few words.

The old man continued: "Just yesterday, my unsuccessful grandson came back with an archaeological team, saying that the Long family has been guarding the ancestors for hundreds of years, and there is no need to keep it any longer, so it is better to let them explore. If the old decay dies and does not agree, how can this ancestral resting place be disturbed casually. ”

"My grandson told me to do this...... It was to protect the clansmen, and the thoughts were broken. The old man still refused, but a murderer came out of the archaeological team and coerced these old brothers in our clan with a knife. I thought that the people brought by my grandson should be well-behaved people, but unexpectedly, when his clan uncles were killed one by one, he didn't shed a single tear. ……”

"Young man, the old man can see that you are kind...... the old man said to Zhou Xiaoyi, "If my grandson is still alive,...... I hope to remind my people, beware! ”

"I don't know where your people are?" Zhou Xiaoyi said helplessly.

"Let it be, the old man has never been outside......" the old man said a little decadently.

"Where is your ancestral grave? How long have you been there? The fur dog asked eagerly.

"Half a day! The so-called ancestral grave is just a well-dressed mound, and there are no treasures,...... "The old man suddenly burst into tears: "Ancestor, the old man has not done his filial piety well in his life,......"

"Old man, have you ever seen a barefoot doctor surnamed Yang?" Zhou Xiaoyi found that the old man's mental state was getting worse and worse, so he threw out the question he had always wanted to ask.

The old man didn't seem to listen, but just blindly sad: "I didn't expect that I would lose to my children and grandchildren, and I would have no face to live...... Golden Armor Suit ...... Golden Armor Suit ...... What to hand over to the state, grandchildren are confused......"

The more the old man spoke, the weaker he became, as if it was all nonsense, and slowly softened to the point that blood overflowed from his mouth.

He ...... Biting his tongue and committing suicide......" Zhou Xiaoyi shuddered a little when he saw an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Meow!" The black cat appeared again, chirping at everyone among the rows of spirit cards, and its black eyes were particularly demonic.
