Chapter 2: Snatching the Skull

Although it starts to heat up during the day in April, the temperature is quite low in the middle of the night.

As soon as I went out, the thin bamboo pole, which had always been weak and couldn't help the wind, sneezed. I thought to myself that this person who is nearly 1.9 meters old is only more than 120 pounds, and he really can't bear the cold without a little fat.

Big Waist and I are both relatively strong people, looking at each other and smiling, and at the same time looking back at the thin bamboo pole, this kid seemed to have a premonition that he was going to be ridiculed, and said first: "Hey, what do you see, isn't it for you two that I will freeze?" I said, where are you two going to bury her? ”

This is really a problem, although it has been a month since I came to the village, and the big waist even hooked up with his girlfriend, but it seems that every day from the station to the construction site at two o'clock and one line, I have never been to other places in the village.

"This must not be buried nearby," said Da Yuanzi, "we have to send it farther away, and we can't let her come back and disturb our Uncle Zhou's sleep." ”

I smiled wryly and said, "That's right, it's not good near the station, and it's even worse near the construction site. There is no place to bury on the way to the construction site, so why don't we go the other way around and go to the forest north of the village? "I thought that the construction site was in the south of the village, so I should be fine if I couldn't see it and didn't bother it.

"It's the middle of the night, can't you run so far?" The thin bamboo pole was cowardly.

"What are you afraid of, there are three of us, and there are not many people in this small village. Now the law and order are so good, and there are no bandits and robbers. Big Waist comforted.

"But when I go to the forest in the middle of the night, I always feel ......" The thin bamboo pole is still a little afraid.

"Okay boy, today the two big brothers will take you to practice your courage." After that, the big waist glanced at the cart next to him, I would care, and pulled the thin bamboo pole to put the things on first, and this kid had an expression on his face that he was on the thief ship.

We set off with the cart, and the dogs in the village were familiar with us, so they wouldn't bark when they heard this movement, but they were afraid that it would be troublesome to alarm Mr. Shen.

The thin bamboo pole was shivering in the cold wind on the road, and I asked him to move it between me and my big waist to keep the wind warm.

For a moment, I was distracted and had the illusion that the wind was sluggish and the water was cold, and the three strong men were gone and never returned.

The village is small, and it didn't take long to reach the edge of the forest. We stopped the car, used the oil lamps as lights, and took each of our fellows, and walked a little bit into the woods. The thin bamboo pole was obviously a little scared at this time.

It is also understandable that the forest is dark and dark, and it is very gloomy, he is a child who grew up in the city, and he has never seen such a place.

"I said, here it is." Big Waist pointed to the bottom of a tree, looking quite empty.

We walked over and tried a shovel, and it was ok, the soil was not hard.

"Then here, let's get to work." After saying that, I put the bones on the ground, motioned to the thin bamboo pole to give me the shovel, and after getting it, I opened the bow left and right with the big waist, and soon made a pit in the ground.

"Almost, so be it." The big waist is a little gasping.

"Okay." I was tired enough, so I handed the shovel to the thin bamboo pole on the side, picked up the sack, and put it in the pit.

"Wait," said the big waist, "have you ever seen anyone buried in a sack that is so disrespectful as you?" ”

I looked helpless, "Oh my lord, you still care about this at this time?" ”

"No, you don't understand, even if you bury her scattered, it will be counted as a place in the earth, and if you put her in a sack that collects the relics of gold and stone, it will not let her live."

"Cheng Cheng Cheng, you're right, listen to you." Laughing and crying, I untied the bag and poured the bones into the pit.

"Ahh The thin bamboo pole suddenly screamed, and my big waist and I were both trembling, our scalps were numb, and we were in a cold sweat.

"What are you shouting!" Big Waist asked, visibly angry, and both he and I were startled by the shout. I turned to look over and saw that the thin bamboo pole was visibly frightened.

"Yes, yes, yes... Yes.. No, it's nothing...", he still looked shocked, "Maybe this bone is too white, and the eyes are reflected for a moment when it just pours out, I thought..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it," Da Waist interrupted him angrily: "People say that people are scary and scared to death, and that's really the truth." "I turned around and started covering the earth with my shovel. But suddenly, he nervously whispered, "Not good! ”

I turned my head to look and saw that there was something strange about the pile of remains. Where did that head go? Apparently all three of us found out, looking at each other.

"Impossible, this is gone all of a sudden?" The voice of the big waist also trembled a little.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, I also saw the skull when I poured it out, why did I look back at the thin bamboo pole and it was gone?

I looked back at the bamboo pole and asked, "What did you just see?" ”

"I really don't see it clearly, but there should be something." He was obviously the most scared, he was already trembling, he must have thought something strange in his head, but to be honest, I thought so at this moment.

"Don't be afraid, look around, if you are rolling somewhere else." I forced my composure and tried to comfort both of them. But I saw that the big waist suddenly stared at the forest, and shouted: "Look, there it is!" ”

When we looked over, we saw an animal the size of a dog carrying its skull into the woods. "His grandmother's, scared Lao Tzu." After the big waist scolded, he chased after him with a shovel.

I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, and hurriedly chased after it and shouted: "Don't go, chase in the forest in the middle of the night, it's not safe!" ”

The forests here have not been damaged by much development, the ecosystem is relatively primitive, and although there are few predators near the village, no one can say for sure.

But the big waist has already rushed out, and he is still running faster than me, and I can't pull him. In desperation, he could only run hard, and kept shouting at him to stop, but to no avail, he still rushed towards the animal in retaliation.

Seeing that there was no light in front of me, and the light of the oil lamp could not reach far, I was secretly complaining and at a loss. But a beam of light suddenly lit up behind me, and when I looked back, I saw that the thin bamboo pole was actually chasing after me with an oil lamp. I thought to myself, this boy, who is scared to be alone there right now, and has come after us. But it also helped a lot.

But with the oil lamp on, I saw the road clearly, and the big waist was even more energetic to chase, and I couldn't stop calling him with the thin bamboo pole, so I had no choice but to follow.

After running for about four or five hundred meters, we couldn't breathe, the big waist suddenly stopped, I almost collided with the thin bamboo pole, at this time the oil light shone, we also know why he suddenly stopped, in front of us, there are five sharp-beaked foxes, just now the one that is about the same as the earth dog rhubarb is the smallest, the largest one is not the tail is estimated to be half a human size.

I gasped, but quickly came to my senses, pulled the two of them back, and let the thin bamboo pole extinguish the oil lamp. Today's moonlight is not bad, the place where the foxes are is relatively empty, the moonlight is not blocked, and we can still see clearly when the lights are out.

But strangely, the five foxes simply ignored our existence, and the fox who had just come back with his head in his hand handed it to the largest fox, and then sat on the ground to the south of it. The big fox held the skull in his hand and faced the moon. The remaining three foxes moved their butts one by one, and sat on its east, west, and north sides, in an orderly manner.

"It's not good, these mongrels want to turn into people," Big Waist whispered, "When I was a child, I listened to stories told by the older generation, and the fox held a skull and worshiped the moon, just to turn into a human." ”

"Huh? I was about to ask what to do, but I was stunned by the scene in front of me.

"Look at me!" When it was too late, the big waist suddenly got up, flew over with a shovel, and directly knocked over the big fox in the middle. The fox screamed at the sudden attack, dropped his skull and crawled into the woods, and the four foxes ran away with him.

I was stunned for a while before I came to my senses, and stared at the big waist with a shocked expression: "You are crazy, what if they rush over us?" ”

"Alright, it's okay, let's go." At this time, the big waist walked over surprisingly calmly, picked up the skull and shovel, and led the way to the place where the pit had just been dug.

I followed with the bamboo pole, but we were both visibly taken aback.

The big waist said: "Don't be afraid, the fox looks fierce, and the courage is also very small, and he generally doesn't dare to attack people, believe me." ”

He said so, and I couldn't say anything more with the bamboo pole.

Nothing to say all the way. Returning to the pit just dug and putting the skull in it can be regarded as returning the woman's entire corpse.

We filled in the soil and patted it flat, trying not to make it look like a grave bag, so as not to arouse suspicion among the villagers.

During this process, the three of them still did not speak, but they cooperated tacitly.

When everything was done, the big waist said, "It's done, go back to sleep." ”

At this point, I also took a deep breath and felt a lot better. Maybe it's just the psychology at work.

We pushed the cart back to the station, but fortunately we were not detected during the whole day's operation. It was almost two o'clock when I went back to bed.

But the next day, I was late again, and I was late with two people. The sun was rising, the three of us were sleeping on the bed, and we were dragged up by Luo Gang, who went to the construction site and was sent back by Mr. Shen to find someone.

But after waking up in the morning, we all confirmed that we didn't have nightmares at night.

On the way, we told Luo Gang about what happened last night, and he also listened very energetically, and we said that we couldn't tell others, after all, it was also an unruly thing, and the fewer people who knew, the better. Including when Lao Zhu asked again, I only told him to put it in a different place, and it was fine, and he didn't ask much.

went to the construction site and was given a training by Mr. Shen, but this did not affect the work, he was also a clear person, and the guidance should be carefully guided.

It's just that we forgot one thing, the big waist who has nothing to say to his girlfriend, of course, will not miss such a "meaningful" thing.
