I am no stranger to the sapper shovel, in the troop exercises, scouts often perform special tasks in reconnaissance operations (no worse than special forces), and the sapper shovel is also one of our tools. It's just that the sapper shovel that the knife gave me looks like a fool in the market, and it is definitely not military, and the steel mouth and weight are 108,000 miles worse than the sapper shovel I used when I was in the army.

However, something is better than nothing, according to the plan of the knife, the three of us split up and began to dig a pit within ten meters below Yang Lao.

The first shovel down, I glanced at the knife and Calle, the two of them did not dig quickly, but used the shovel handle to punch holes in the ground, I was a little puzzled, but my heart was happy, I said that you are doing something else, digging a pit is not as good as Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has dug a pit in the army, this time it can be regarded as useful.

Half an hour later, I had dug three deep pits with a diameter of half a meter and a depth of nearly one and a half meters, and then I looked back proudly and was dumbfounded, only to see that Knife and Kahler had already dug five pits each, and even the earthwork had been cleared, and the two of them were sitting under the tree and smoking.

I suddenly complained in my heart, secretly scolding myself for being unproductive, people are tomb robbers, professional pit diggers, I compare digging pits with them, it is not a eunuch to visit the kiln, there is no gun to sweep the yellow (Lei Zi quote)! Why does this sound so awkward?

I continued to dig in frustration, and when they saw that I was too slow, they came to help. Kahler taught me while digging: "This digging pit is exquisite, you must first use a thin handle to make a hole, so that you can not only loosen the solid soil, but also find out whether there are stones under the soil, this is called sharpening the knife and cutting wood, twice the result with half the effort." ”

I pouted, and said in my heart that you are a tomb robber, and Lao Tzu has learned to be useful? When I find my father and ask the truth, I will go to my mother to do business, and you guys don't do anything if you don't have your head on the waistband of your pants.

After digging five deep pits, the two of them pierced fifteen pits at the bottom of the pits, probably only allowing one person to pass through, forming a circle connected together, and I asked the knife in wonder: "Since we are making traps, why don't we cover them, and you are exposed to the ground like this, is it still called a trap?" ”

Knife shook his head: "It's not a trap, go up the tree." With that, he climbed a big tree very quickly.

I cursed, knowing that it was no fun to ask him, and looked at Kahler. Kahler also shook his head: "This person doesn't even understand what Guan Ye does, and I don't have a problem, let's go up the tree first." What are these pits for, we'll find out later. ”

After Calle had finished speaking, he found a nearby tree and climbed it. I sighed and saw that they were all up the tree, and I didn't dare to stay down there. The depressed thing is that most of the trees here are pines, due to the climate, these pine trees are straight through the clouds, the branches are very tall, and it is now the height of summer, the trunk is full of pine oil, slippery and do not leave hands, poor I tried my best, anxious sweating, still unable to climb up. I wonder why they are so good at digging holes and exploring tombs, and they are so good at climbing trees.

At that moment Calle threw a rope from the tree and hurriedly gestured to me. I cursed and grabbed the rope and climbed up. Crawling and muttering, I'm also a little Guan Ye, this time not only did I lose face, but even my father's face was lost. Although my father is their boss, they don't say anything on the surface, and they can't help laughing at me in their hearts. Alas, you can fight your dad when you hit someone by driving, but why can't you fight dad when you climb a tree?

Thinking wildly, I finally climbed up a thick branch five meters above the ground, squatted with Caller, then put the rope up and asked Caller, "What are we going to do next?" “

"Be patient." Kahler said: "The knife is reliable, and his design has his reason. ”

I groaned, and didn't speak. After about half an hour, the clouds had completely covered the moon, and the sky and the earth were completely blind. I listened attentively for a moment, but there was no movement except for the sound of the wind and the ** sound of Yang Lao.

Boredom, the fatigue of this day's rapid march over the mountains and mountains began to come to the door, and my eyelids were heavy for a while, and the worst thing was that I was now riding on a branch, and if I fell down carelessly, I would definitely become a first-class cripple immediately. I tried to think about the strange things and try not to let myself fall asleep, but I found that the sleepiness was too strong to control and I had no choice but to talk to Calle.

"Hey, I said, do you know what's going on in that old mansion?" I asked: "Mr. Yang said that the courtyard wall of the old mansion was all made of tombstones, and I also found that the grass in the courtyard was full of phosphorus fire, and it is estimated that there are many corpses buried underground. ”

Kahler grinned: "Xiao Guan Ye, have you read too many novels, where did this harmonious society come from." ”

I glanced at the knife in the tree next to me, and it was motionless, the light was too dim, and I didn't know if he was in a daze or asleep, so I whispered to Caller, "Harmony fart!" Have you ever seen a harmonious society kill a person without even frowning? Have you ever seen an old man selling watermelons beaten to death in a harmonious society? You've seen it."

"Xiao Guan Ye, you digress!" Kahler interrupted me with a wave of his hand.

I swallowed, thinking to myself, indeed, I don't even understand what I'm doing now, and there is still a lot of disharmony and discord? immediately soothed his emotions and said, "Then let's get down to business, what's going on with this old mansion?" ”

Kahler was silent for a moment, and said: "Two months ago, when one of our fellows came to step on the plate, I heard that this village was called the Guillotine Camp, thirty years ago, this place was not as weird as it is now, at that time the village was very large, after the transformation of the aspiring young people in the countryside, the people in the village were enlightened, at that time this was called Shouling Village, it is said that the ancestors gave the Northern Wei Dynasty a person named Emperor Mu to keep the spirit. ”

"Emperor Mu! Tuoba Yilu! "I was almost surprised, I remember that in ancient times there was this custom, the emperor's mausoleum was guarded, the small scale is only a few people, the large scale of dozens of people can even develop into a village, and even more, I heard that an emperor of the Han Dynasty in order to let the people keep their spirits for generations, but also built a city next to his own cemetery.

Kahler continued: "But in the eighties, something strange happened here. In the sandwich ditch more than ten miles away from this Shouling Village, there was a landslide, collapsed out a lot of square blue stones, after the villagers who went up the mountain to collect medicine found out, they told the village party secretary about the situation, and the village party secretary moved his mind, so he secretly found someone to transport a lot of stones back and built a big house. The old house you entered is the home of the village party secretary. Later, when the villagers learned about it, they went into the filling ditch to find that kind of stone, but many people went in one after another, but none of them came back. Seeing that so many people were missing, the village party secretary was afraid that things would stab him, and this thing was a little weird, thinking that it had angered the mountain god, and it happened that the son of the village party secretary had made a fortune in the city, so their family moved away. There were only some old people and children left in the village, and they were unwilling to let their relatives disappear like this, so they organized people to go to the sandwich ditch to find them, and later they found those missing people in the place of the landslide, but only the head was left, but the body was gone. The old people were very superstitious, thinking that the mountain demon had eaten these people, burning incense and kowtowing, so they had no choice but to bring back the heads of all their relatives. But there is a custom of funeral in the north, that is, the dead can not enter the ancestral grave, but these heads are the relatives of the old people, and they can't bear to be thrown in the wilderness to feed the wolves, and finally an old man came up with a way, he thinks that these people are the village party secretary, if it is not for the village party secretary to transport the stone back, those young people will not go into the mountains to find stones, but the village party secretary fled into Cheng, and no one can find an explanation, so he buried all the heads in the courtyard of the village party secretary, and since then the village has been renamed the decapitated camp. ”

I couldn't see Calle's expression clearly in the dark, his voice was very low, and the tense atmosphere and the darkness around me sounded extremely weird, it turned out that the courtyard of the old mansion was full of human heads, and I had been fucking still in the yard for so long, and now I felt a cool breeze on my back.

"Then do you know what's going on with that ghost and the wolves?" I asked.

"Ghosts? You mean the monster with the head of a sheep? Calle asked me.

I nodded, and then I listened to Calle take a breath and say, "This is another strange thing here, since the villagers got their heads back, many wolves have come into the village every night, and behind the wolves there is a monster with a sheep's head, which is the ghost you mentioned. The wolves bite when they see people, and when they bite to death, they are carried into the mountains by the ghosts, which makes people panic, and the villagers think that the ghosts are the mountain demons that eat people, so every dusk here, the families are closed, and no one dares to come out. Once an unwitting outsider enters the village, they will lure wolves and ghosts to their lives. Calle said, and pointed to Yang Lao who was hanging on the rope: "This old bastard knows this secret, so he chose to enter the village, wanting to use wolves and ghosts to kill the knife, but unfortunately he underestimated the hand of our knife." ”

I wondered, these villagers are too idiotic, right? Can't you just poke things up there? If a company had been sent from above, with machine guns and grenades, I would have probably not needed armored vehicles, and the wolves would have been wiped out.

Kahler smiled: "You think too simply, this kind of thing is too outrageous, it can be written as a chat, who will believe it?" Besides, those fat people with ** stomachs, who only know how to sit in the office blowing air conditioners, drinking tea, and raising juniors, who the fuck wants to go to the mountains to take care of this gossip? Besides, the young and strong people here are all dead, and it is too difficult for those old men and old ladies to get out of this mountain. ”

I pouted and said I didn't believe it, if it were me, I would rather die on the mountain road than run out of this hellish place, once I was lucky, I really went out, so what is better than living like this? Even if you set up a stall in the city to sell some watermelons, and are chased by the city management every day, it is more comfortable than worrying about your life here.

"!" Caleb snorted: "Do you think you are not afraid of dying if you sell watermelons?". Besides, these old people are all old feudals, and their ancestors were originally guardians, that is the business of their ancestors, even if they all die here, they will not give up their ancestral teachings. ”

When I think about it, the people of this village have never been free since their ancestors, is it a curse? Just as I was about to speak, Caleb suddenly covered my mouth and shouted, "Here we go!" ”
