Chapter 35: Treasure
I didn't ask this question, because by this time the third brother had already unfolded the painting and turned around.
When I saw the situation in the painting, I froze for a moment.
This painting is by no means a master's handiwork, and it can even be said to be very crude, only using a single ink to outline the lines, and there is no payment.
It looked like a small town in the snowy countryside, nearly three-quarters more houses than the one I painted, and yet I saw the same scene in it at a glance as in my hand-drawn paper.
The same street, with almost the same houses on both sides, except for the lack of an inn and a modern car.
Uncle Dog said to Wei Dana, "I told you that when I came back from there, I told my father about the terrible thing, and he showed me this painting at that time. This painting was painted by the third father himself, and the painting is our old root - Siling Town. ”
"Four Spirits?" I heard him mention this place just now, but on the map that Tang Yi found, there is only Sifang Town, not Siling Town?
I was about to ask, when the third brother suddenly leaned into Uncle Dog's ear and whispered something.
Uncle Dog's expression froze, "What you said is true?" And what about the old stuff people? ”
The third brother shook his head, "When I went home to get the painting, I saw a back from a distance, and it looked like him." When they got up, there were no people. If it's really him, look at the direction, it's going to the grass nest. ”
Uncle Gou's eyebrows furrowed, rubbed his fists and muttered: "I'll just say that the fierce son met the demon moth in the grass nest again, it's time for the big thing." ”
As if he had made a decision, he pointed to the painting on the wall and asked, "Are you sure this is the place you're looking for?" ”
"Sure."
Uncle Dog nodded, "Let me tell you, the place in this painting is called Siling Town." It's the old roots of our people. However, as early as before the liberation, because of the avalanche of Siling Mountain, the entire town was buried. A strange thing happened at that time, and that was that for the first three nights of the avalanche, every night, everyone in the town, had the same dream, and they all dreamed of the avalanche.
It is said that there must be a demon when something goes wrong, and at that time, several old people in the town totaled it, and they all said that it was the manifestation of the mountain god, and he dreamed of saving the residents of the town. With the idea that it would be better to believe it than not, under the leadership of the old man, most of the people in the town temporarily moved out of Siling Town. As soon as the front foot stepped out of the hill, the back foot collapsed, and the whole town was gone. ”
He spoke quickly, but even though he was brief, I listened to it thrillingly.
Uncle Gou continued: "I don't know how many ancestors and old people in Siling Town, and it was only when they gathered together that they had the scale at that time. It is impossible to rebuild, and the only way to rebuild is to choose a place close to the outside to rebuild your home. Therefore, there is now the town of Sifang and the tongue of the eagle. ”
He pointed to the third brother, "At that time, his father was the youngest and only teacher in Siling Town, he was very pedantic, and he refused to leave anything, and in the end, a few people tied him up and carried him out of the mountain with a pole to carry pigs." After the avalanche, his father was a little half-crazy, chattering all day long, and finally painted such a picture according to the original appearance of the town. I don't know if there's an inn you said. But since you're sure you're going to Siling Town, I can try to help you. Because, when I was younger, I went there once. All I can say is that I tried to draw a gourd according to the situation I went there at the time, but there is no guarantee that it will work. That's not a place for the living! ”
Wei Dana licked his lips and said, "Uncle Dog just has to say it here, and I'll say the rest." Brother, let's not talk about the side, let's just say that you have to pay the store for living in the hotel, and you have to pay for the meal. Uncle Dog said to help you, that's risking his life. He did this for the sake of the peace of our Quartet Town, for the sake of all of us. Let's talk about it, what Uncle Dog said is ironclad, but this favor can't be in vain. You'll have to help us too. ”
From the whispers between the third brother and Uncle Dog just now, I saw that something was wrong, and immediately said: "Say it, do what you can, do what you can." ”
Wei Dana said: "Ming'er, tomorrow is the day when Mengzi saw Lao Cai kill people three years ago. ”
The third brother said: "When I went home to get the painting just now, I saw a person, looking at the back, it seemed to be Lao Cai. ”
Wei Dana slapped him, "It's right for him to come back, Skynet is restored, killing people pays for life, it doesn't matter if you kill him, don't bother the villagers in our township." ”
The three of them were talking at this time, and they were all in a hurry, which was much more straightforward than when they were drinking downstairs. Fortunately, I didn't drink much, and my brain was able to keep up.
I groaned and said, "If Lao Cai Zhen killed someone three years ago, then tomorrow will be the three-year death date of the person who was killed." One morning sun is revenge, and three winters are retribution. If it is really a ghost who has been wronged, it is really possible to come out and make trouble. But ......"
I raised my eyes and looked at the three of them, "Why do I think that the big white face you are talking about is a bit ...... How can it stand up to scrutiny? ”
The third brother was stunned, his face suddenly turned red, and he took out something from his arms and handed it to me, "There's nothing that can't stand scrutiny, I didn't tell nonsense, I really saw that white face at the beginning, and this wolf whip is evidence!" ”
"Third brother, don't be angry first, I didn't mean that."
I took the wolf whip and looked closely, and I was secretly frightened.
The tiger bone whistle slightly connected to the whip turned out to be like a black rotten jade, not only completely black, but also faintly emitting a stench.
The third brother said: "I used this whip to get to that big white face, and the tiger bone whistle was stained with ghost energy, so it became like this." ”
"your grandmother!"
I was startled by this sudden scolding on the street, reacted, and asked Jinghai secretly: "What are you nervous about?" ”
"Cut, the Buddha scolded him for having eyes and not knowing gold and jade! What kind of ghost is his Rausch whip, it's just a treasure......"
I don't know if it was influenced by the three people in front of him, or if he was really angry, the old monk spoke quickly and urgently.
After listening to what he said, some of the previous doubts suddenly opened, but at the same time, new doubts arose.
I said to Uncle Dog and the others, "I know what you're worried about, I'll do it for you." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and Uncle Dog said, "Do your best, don't hold on, if you really want to take a small life for this matter, you can't do it." ”
I said to the third brother, "This time we are going into the mountains to find someone, can you borrow my wolf whip?" ”
"Okay, as long as you can do something, the whip will be given to you!" He said this, but there was a little reluctance in his eyes.
I smiled, "Just borrow it, no accident, when I return it to you, the 'ghost' contaminated by the whip should also disappear." ”
Uncle Dog said: "Then let's say so, it's too late today, and we've all drunk, so let's rest early." Early tomorrow morning, the third child and I ...... Bring a few more people with you. ”
I nodded, "That's it." ”
Just as I was about to go downstairs, Wei Dana suddenly grabbed me, "Brother, are you really just here to find someone?" ”
I glanced back around the room and asked, "Why else do you think I'm here?" ”
Wei Dana's eyes flashed twice, let go of me, but lowered his voice and said:
"It's not that I'm too careful, since noon, my right eyelid has been beating vigorously, and I always feel like something is going to happen. Tomorrow's business, let's talk about it tomorrow. I see that your friends eat and drink a lot, and you need to be vigilant when you sleep at night. We're all counting on you, your people, and nothing will happen to you. ”
