The story told by the fourth uncle suddenly came to the four burners, which is somewhat of a coincidence. The incident of burning gangue happened more than ten years ago, and no one cared about it after talking about it too much.

The fourth uncle squinted his eyes, and the chattering expression on his face seemed as if he had the final right to interpret this story, deliberately whetting my appetite.

"Fourth uncle, let's talk about it. Why are the four burners missing? ”

"They burned gangue in the back mountain for half a year, earned a little money, and planned to continue to work, but something happened in the middle."

The fourth uncle said that the four people who burned the gangue were all young people, and the gangue kiln was in the mountains, and there was no shop in front of the village or behind the village. The young man had too much energy, running back and forth in the mountains, and carrying earthen guns, scurrying around to beat rabbits.

Once, they went far away because they were hunting rabbits and saw something they shouldn't have seen. It's the old saying that it's not a good thing for people to know more things, because they see things they shouldn't see, and they invite trouble.

"Someone killed them." The fourth uncle's voice was very low, almost close to my ear, and said: "The four people are all dead, and after they die, they will be buried on the spot, and the people who come to look for them behind will definitely not be found." ”

"Someone killed them? Who killed them? ”

"It's a person surnamed Lian, called Liandu, do you know this person?"

"Fourth uncle, what are you talking nonsense!?" I felt an indescribable impatience, and the Liandu that the fourth uncle said was my father's name. My father was a well-known and generous person, whether he was doing a small business in the city or returning to his hometown in the countryside, he never argued with anyone, and even if there was a conflict, he always gave in. Uncle Si's words made me feel insulted, and I was angry at the time: "Uncle Si, Lian Du is my father, don't you know him?" Don't you know what kind of person he is? ”

"I know, I know." The fourth uncle shook his head and responded: "But there is a saying, have you heard of it?" I know the face, but I don't know the heart......"

My impatience was indescribable, and I woke up from my dream at once, and I rolled over and sat up.

"What are you doing in such a shock? It's scared to death. Sitting in front of the tattered window of the hut, Wang looked back at me, "What's wrong?" Having a nightmare? ”

"I dreamed, I dreamed that you and Zhang Momo got married, and I was stimulated." As soon as I woke up, I still remember the story told by the fourth uncle in my dream, but I couldn't tell Lao Wang these words.

"Your dream is very good and timely." As soon as Lao Wang heard this, his spirit suddenly became strong, and he sat there grinning: "I don't want to get married, but I can't keep delaying others, if people really want to be a strong request, then what else to say, make do with it, and ...... it together."

"Don't be anything else, I'm going to sleep."

I lay down again and rolled over, but I couldn't sleep anymore.

I felt that some of the things I experienced were really like a program, each link was so tight, so just right.

When I was in a dream, I couldn't notice anything, but when I woke up and thought about it, I felt that something was very strange. Si Bo died earlier than my father, and I basically had little to do with him except for running to the door of Si Bo's house to listen to stories when I was a child. But when I got the clue and came to the back mountain of the village, I dreamed of the story of the four uncles telling the story of those burners, isn't there any reason for this, is it purely a coincidence?

Anyway, a very paradoxical atmosphere kept drifting around, and I didn't fall asleep again until Lao Wang came to call me to take over.

Lao Wang was lazy again, and let me take over at one o'clock in the evening, I knew that he was like this, and I didn't bother to bother with him. After taking over, I gently pushed open the door and walked a few steps outside.

The gangue kiln in the night is quiet and makes people feel frightened. I walked towards the hut where Teacher Yuan lived, the door was closed, and I could faintly hear the sound of soft snoring.

I walked around the outside and walked back into the house. Lao Wang has slept dimly, and he doesn't know why. I sat by the window and watched out.

A few hours passed in silence, and before six o'clock in the morning, I heard a noise from the room next to me, and not long after, Mr. Yuan walked out of the room with his things on his back. He was probably afraid of waking us up, so he moved very lightly.

As soon as Mr. Yuan left, I went to his side to bring the firewood from the house and lit a fire to boil water. Lao Wang slept like a dead pig, and it took kicks and beatings to wake him up.

The two men ate something and left the gangue kiln. I was a little nervous, probably because I had an unwarranted dream. In the dream, the story told by the fourth uncle has always been haunting in my heart.

The weather is indeed cold, especially in the mountains, and you have to wrap your clothes tightly. When we left the gangue kiln, Mr. Yuan had already walked far, and walked along the road in front of us for a maximum of two or three kilometers, and the mountain road branched off.

The villagers said that there were two small natural villages in Houshan a long time ago, and the mountain road was formed between the people in the mountains. But I never came to the back mountain, and I didn't know which way to go. Of the two paths, only one of them must be the right one, to find the old pine tree on the top of the hill.

Standing at the fork in the road and hesitating for a long time, I didn't know which way to go. Lao Wang was impatient and took out a one-dollar coin: "Throw the coin, leave it to fate, go this way on the front and that one on the back." ”

I took the coin and tossed it to choose the direction. If you really choose the wrong way, then you have to turn around and walk back, the area of the back mountain, there is no way to know now, it is really not good, you can only stay up for time.

"Isn't that all there is to it? Still here, mother-in-law and mother hesitate to go. Lao Wang was carrying a backpack, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take away his dollar.

After walking for more than half an hour along the path chosen by fate, I felt that I had chosen the wrong one. There is no obvious road ahead, so I can only pick up the place where I can go. The top of the mountain here is generally not high, and while walking, I have not found the old pine tree standing on the top of the mountain for the time being.

Walking and walking, the terrain is a little steep, and in some places there are ravines and cliffs on both sides, and there is a sheep intestine path that can be passed.

"This place, one husband should be closed, and ten thousand people can't open it." Lao Wang raised his head and glanced ahead, smashed his mouth, and said, "I think, did we choose the wrong path?" Do you want to turn around and go the other way? ”

"I can't go back now." I shook my head, this road has not yet reached the point where there is no way out, and if you give up halfway, go back to take another road, and finally return to nothing, it is tantamount to wasting time. Either way, we'll have to get to the end.

We cautiously walked through a sheep's intestine path, the terrain is a little gentle, the left and right are the kind of hills that are not too high, but all the way to the end, but we can never see the old pine trees on the top of the mountain.

After walking for a while, I felt as if I always had something hanging in my heart, so I involuntarily stopped and looked back. The old pine trees I saw in the consciousness information I read from my left ear were lush and green, and as long as they appeared in the field of vision, they would not miss the past.

There were no lush old pine trees on the hill behind me, but after I took out the telescope that Xiao Mao had given me and looked at it carefully, my eyes suddenly focused on one of the very small hills.

On that very small hill, there was a tree, but it was already yellow, so Lao Wang and I didn't care when we saw it. Looking at it now, I feel that the tree is not yellowed because it is cold, but because it seems to be dead. I don't know if it's my mental effect, but the more I look at it, the more I feel like it's a dead pine.

"Go back and see." I patted Lao Wang and walked back the same way.

We went around the east and west, climbed the mountains and climbed the ditch, and it took a lot of effort to get to the side of the hill. The mountain is not high, and there is a faint path that winds up the mountain, and the two of them walked directly to the top of the mountain from this road.

The top of the mountain was bare, just a dead tree. When I reached the top of the mountain, I was suddenly excited, and the tree was indeed a dead pine tree.

This is where the information I read from that left ear appears.

But when I actually found this place, I started to be at a loss again. The information I read only shows the geographical location, and all the rest of the information is unknown. Lao Wang and I began to search carefully, first from the area around the dead old pine trees, and then slowly expanded to the entire mountaintop, and any suspicious detail was the target of our search.

However, after looking for at least two hours, there was no gain. The top of the hill is so ordinary that there is not even the slightest suspicion.

If nothing is found at the top of the mountain, then you can only find it on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. This mountain can be regarded as tying me and Lao Wang to death, and we didn't do anything for four or five hours, so we circled around the hill.

I searched for the mountain path all the way, and finally found the foot of the mountain, and followed the foot of the mountain around the hill for two full laps, and my feet were numb, but I still didn't find anything.

"I mean, where the hell did you get the news?" Lao Wang sat on the ground, frowned and asked, "If the news is unreliable, isn't it funny?" ”

"The news must be reliable, I guess we still haven't found it." I thought to myself that any information and information can be faked, but this kind of consciousness information alone cannot be faked.

"Okay, I'll trust you one more time." Lao Wang took out a piece of chocolate and ate it, and while eating, he looked at the sun that had begun to set: "We don't have such good luck today, we have to spend the night in the wilderness." ”

I also felt a little tired, and I half-lay down against the dirt slope behind me. After a break of ten minutes, I wanted to take advantage of the time before it got dark to walk around the hill again.

"What's the panic, wait a minute, it's a sunny day today, and the moon is bright at night, so don't delay your work." Lao Wang refused to get up, and said, "I have just eaten enough, and now strenuous activities are not good for my body, so I will rest and rest." ”

I've always had no temper with Lao Wang, so I can only lie down again. It is estimated that he was lying too hard, and his back let the stones in the soil smack, and the pain was abnormal.

I thought it was a small stone in the soil, and I reached out to pull it out, but the stone in the soil was very large, and after a few buckles, I noticed a clue.

I got up and shaved with a shovel, and then I was excited, and we had been looking for something suspicious for most of the day, and it turned out to be here.
