Chapter 23: Visions

Du Mei hurriedly went out of the yard to check, and the three small ones also came out. I saw that the next-door neighbors were all standing outside, pointing and looking in the direction of the river beach.

She turned her eyes and saw that the river beach was like a sea of fire, the blazing flames jumping, reflecting the inky sky red, and the wind brought the smell of burning reeds and grass.

The fire could not be saved, and the reeds and cattails were so dry that they were connected into patches at one point.

The reeds and cattails on the river beach are left to fend for themselves, and they are not owned by anyone. Reeds and cattails don't boil fire, and dry leaves are easy to scratch, so no one cuts them for firewood. And so on year after year, the longer it gets, the more prosperous it becomes. That is, the life at home is not very good, and the roof is repaired, and then it is cut on the river beach to use.

"Hey, it's raining!" A neighbor muttered.

In an instant, the raindrops the size of beans fell unexpectedly. The sky suddenly lit up, and a bolt of lightning burst through the dark night sky, followed by a loud thunderclap.

"At this time, how can there be thunder?" Neighbors rushed home, amazed as they ran.

Farmers are living according to the 24 solar terms, planting vegetables and transplanting seedlings are particular, the Spring Festival has not yet passed, and it is still early to be stung.

The rainstorm did not last long, but it was just a cup of tea, and the rain stopped the thunder. People who have good deeds come out to look, and the river beach is pitch black, and not even a single smoke is rising.

"Ghosts, ghosts." A terrible cry floated from far and near to Dujiagou from the river beach.

The second stunned face was full of black ash, and only the whites of his eyes could still be seen. His hair was like a messy chicken nest, standing one by one, his right eyebrow seemed to be burned, his body smelled of burning, and his original shabby pants were torn open.

He limped, limped and trotted, and screamed in despair, as if a ghost was chasing him from behind.

Finally saw the light of the door open, the second stunned leaned against the wall and breathed, and peeked at the dark and gloomy road behind him.

"What kind of demon are you?" Fang's man, Du Jiasuo, is a carpenter, he has just returned from work, and he is sitting in the hall drinking tea, waiting for his daughter-in-law to serve food.

"Uncle, you can reward me with saliva and drink." The second stunned didn't know whether he was thirsty or scared and his throat was dry.

Du Jiasuo was a strong man, in his thirties, red-faced and broad-shouldered. He took a bowl of tea and handed it to the second stunned man. The second stunned man was not afraid of being hot, like an old cow drinking water, and poured it down in one go.

He wiped his mouth, returned the bowl to Du Jiasuo and said, "Uncle, really, I just saw Du Mei's father on the river beach!" Dressed in white, it's scary! ”

"Pure nonsense!" Du Jiasuo scolded.

"Really, I lied to you that you were a bastard!" The two stunned swore an oath.

"What are you doing running to the beach in the middle of the night? You set the fire? Du Jiasuo also felt strange in his heart, so he continued to ask.

"Don't say it, my chickens have been eaten by Du Mei, and I am going to catch a pheasant on the river beach at night. As a result, the pheasant was not found, and I almost became a roast chicken. The two stunned grabbed their hair and sat down on the threshold.

"Don't wronged the good guys, Du Mei didn't steal anyone's chickens, obviously you want to blackmail her pheasant soup!" Fang came up with the food and rolled his eyes at the second stunned man.

"Even if it is, it's too evil!

As soon as I got into the reeds, the reeds behind my butt caught fire before I could see the pheasant feathers.

I finally ran out, but I don't know why, I didn't see anyone, but I was kicked hard, and I fell into the ditch again, and it took me half a day to crawl out.

This god is also in a hurry, there is a heavy rain, and when it flashes, I clearly saw a person standing next to Uncle Erjin's grave, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye! The second stunned recalled, and still had palpitations.

"The! Erjin should appear to clean you up, who let you bully Du Mei! Fang turned around and went back to the room to embroider.

"Uncle Jiasuo, you say, isn't this too scary." The second stunned swallowed in fear.

"Don't talk nonsense! You are scared of yourself. Du Jiasuo didn't believe it in his heart, he had a good relationship with Erjin, and his daughter-in-law was even better with the Xu family, he didn't want Erjin to die, and he couldn't be at peace.

"I really saw it, in a white robe, really." The second stunned man seemed to be scared silly, and chattered endlessly.

"Go back. In the future, find a regular businessman, feed your wife, and stop doing these things of stealing chickens and dogs, which will be looked down upon in vain. Du Jiasuo saw that he was pitiful, wrapped a plate of peanuts on the table, and handed it to the second stunned man. When it comes to it, they are still old relatives.

The second stunned man didn't expect that Du Jiasuo would give him food, and the people in the village avoided his family, like avoiding the plague god.

"Uncle Xie Jiasuo." The second stunned muttered.

Not to mention that the two stunned people crawled home with a crawl, and said that the house of the big house was already a mess.

After dinner, the two men came to make a fuss, and the three brothers of the big house learned that Du Mei's pheasant was caught on the river beach. The brothers looked at each other and tacitly agreed. When everyone was gone, they pulled wood from the firewood stack outside the courtyard and made a simple torch, and went straight to the river beach.

Du Zhu was the smallest, and he walked on the dark road, beating a drum in his heart.

"Brother, where is the grave of the second uncle?" Du Zhu's voice trembled a little.

"What are you afraid of, we only go to the river beach, and we don't go to him." Du Xuan walked in front with a torch.

"Brother, did Xiaozhi drown in the river beach?" Silently following for a while, Du Zhu asked again.

"You're not done! Do you want to drink chicken soup and eat eggs? Du Zhu scolded angrily.

Du Zhu was silent, but his words left a shadow in Du Zhu's and Du Zhu's hearts, and the closer he got to the river beach, the more furious his brother's heart became.

"Look! Ghost Fire! Du Zhu saw the shadowy light in the reeds, and screamed in a low voice.

"What are you screaming about!" Du Zhu was also afraid in his heart, and he was even more afraid that Du Zhu's mouth would not have a door, and he would say everything.

"Take the torch, and your second brother and I will go in and take a look." Du Xuan is the eldest brother, he has to be calmed.

Du Zhu and Du Zhu cat's waist drilled into the reeds. Du Zhu held a torch, standing alone in the open space, the wind made him cold up and down, shivering non-stop.

"Brother, wait for me!" Du Zhu hurriedly whispered, and was about to keep up with his feet, but he tripped over the reed stump under his feet, and the torch flew out of his hand, and he fell and gnawed on the mud.

"Hula", the torch passed, the reed grass ignited instantly, the reed leaves were implicated with each other, dense turns, the fire borrowed the wind, and immediately burned down a piece, crackling and popping like a small firecracker.

"Run!" Du Zhu and Du Zhu were already surrounded by fire, and the two of them ran out of the fire in a hurry, and their hair and eyebrows were almost burned.

"Stupid!" Du Shuan pulled up his frightened brother who fell to the ground.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, completely out of control, the three brothers, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't dare to squeak.

A black shadow swore out of the reeds, and the annoyed Du Shuan didn't know where he got the courage, and kicked the black shadow into the ditch. Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, the three brothers turned around and ran, and the sudden raindrops chased them.

"Ahh Hell! Behind him came a ghost crying wolf howl.

The three of them turned around in unison, and when the lightning and thunder roared, they only saw a white shadow flashing in front of the second uncle's grave.

The frightened three people ran all the way home, and Du Zhu ran away, even forgetting the stomach pain.

Zhou was wondering in the house, and the three sons were embarrassed, and they pushed the door in like ghosts.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou was shocked.

"Don't ask, get us some hot water!" Du Zhu was still a little sensible, Du Zhu was a little stunned, and Du Zhu was directly scared stupid.

"What's going on with you!" Zhou panicked and went to the kitchen to fetch water.

After the three of them took a bath and regained some consciousness, Du Xuan briefly explained the matter.

"Did you really see that dead ghost?" Zhou looked uncertain.

came back and ran in a hurry, Du Zhu's big toe somehow pierced a reed thorn, and Zhou was helping him pick it with a needle for sewing clothes, which hurt him so much that he grinned.

"It's true, dressed in white, with a blood hole on his head gurgling and bleeding." Add oil and vinegar to the pile.

Du Shu stretched out his hand and hit Du Zhuan: "You are so frightened that you lost your soul, and you still saw a blood hole!" ”

This head seven is almost here, and the two golden souls of the dead ghost are coming back? Zhou thought of the yin wind of the previous days, and his heart was uneasy.

The three and a half children were so frightened that they tacitly didn't dare to speak to the outside world, and fell asleep after speaking.

Chu Lin returned to the camp in the afternoon, but he couldn't help but go to the hot spring pool at night to take a closer look. His eyesight is so good that everyone else has to light it, but he doesn't need it.

In the hot springs, by the light of the moon, he found a few pheasant feathers, an adult pheasant that was used to running in the mountains, it was unlikely that the girl had caught it, and it must have been the credit of the black tiger.

Yes, Chu Lin recognized at a glance that the black dog that followed the girl was the black tiger he had lost for a long time, and the Liangshan hound that was the same as the black panther in his camp.

This kind of dog is most suitable for hunting in the mountains, forests and grasslands, they are extremely intelligent, good at running and sneaking attacks, if it is a group of dogs to attack, the lethality is even more amazing. They also have the advantage of recognizing their masters, and they believe that a person will follow them for a lifetime.

Chu Lin knew that from now on, the black tiger would never belong to him again, but he was very stable in his heart. He is very satisfied with the current owner of the Black Tiger.

He walked around, found a man-made mark along the road, and following the mark, he walked out of the mountain forest, to the riverbank, and beyond that was the fireworks house.

He looked greedily at the dimly lit cottage, where the girl lived, and they had not looked closely at it in a hurry when they had asked for directions.

Just as he was looking into the distance, a fire suddenly broke out on the riverbank. To avoid the eyes and ears of others, he stepped back. I didn't expect Tiangong to come to join in the fun, and it thundered in winter. The heavy rain came late, and there was no way to avoid it, so Chu Lin had to tap his feet and quickly return to the camp with light work.

Zhao Ji'an was looking for him everywhere and couldn't find him, and he was in a hurry. Seeing that he came back from the rain, he thought he had gone to practice. hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and complained once, but he didn't ask much.

After such a toss, Du Jiagou finally fell into the dark night peacefully.
