CHAPTER XIII

One night, while the village chief was eating at home, suddenly a man in ragged clothes and a mantle pushed open the door of the village chief's house. The village chief was taken aback at the time, and hurriedly called his son, and the father and son took a closer look, only to find that this person was actually one of the group of travel enthusiasts who had gone up the mountain. The village chief hurriedly let the person into the house, and the person didn't speak, but just ate all the village chief's meals that day, and ate two more wowotou before he stopped! The village chief learned from the man's mouth that he was the only one left in the group, and the others had died in the mountains, and the village chief was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

The man slept in the chief's house for three days, and then he prepared to leave, and before leaving, he gave the chief a thick wad of bills and told him not to mention the matter to anyone, and then left.

The village chief took someone else's money, so naturally he didn't tell the matter, but the village chief's son is an out-and-out loser! Seeing that his father had so much money, he regarded himself as a rich child! Every day, he took a group of gangsters in the village out to fool around, and he didn't come back for three or four days when he left the village, and I don't know if the village chief's son was drunk and lost his words, and told the secret to the people who went out with him to fool around, so the news spread quickly in the village like a plague.

At that time, the villagers had no sense of the law, and they didn't know that they had to call the police when something like this happened, but they were simply tortured by conscience and morality, and they thought that if they hadn't given those people an antidote, those people would not have died on the mountain! In the end, the villagers sent all their grievances to the village chief, they felt that if it wasn't for the village chief's request for them to administer the medicine, they would not have taken out the antidote, and the village chief collected the money, but did not give it to the villagers! Since then, the village chief has lost all his prestige!

In this way, two months passed, and the man who came down from the mountain at that time returned to the village with more than a dozen people and stayed at the village chief's house. A large number of them lived in the village chief's house for about a week, and every day the gate was closed, except for the village chief's son, who would go down the mountain during the day and come back at night with a lot of food, all the rest never set foot out of the courtyard.

A week later, these people opened the door, and the village chief came out of his house, and held an emergency meeting of the whole village, which was attended by all men, women, and children, including the young Qiangzi, and the village chief told everyone that these people had found a gold mine in the mountains, so this time they came back to investigate and prepare to step on it, and if the mine was established, then it would also be of great benefit to the village, so once again asked everyone for an antidote to help the expedition team go up the mountain.

Because the production process of this antidote is more troublesome and the shelf life is very short, even if every household in the village has some reserves, the stock is not much, and if you want to assemble the antidote for the whole team, you can only put the villagers together.

After the last incident, no one was willing to listen to what the village chief said at this time, and they all said that they would not hand over the antidote again, and when they reached a stalemate, a person stood up and provided help to this so-called expedition team, but put forward a condition, this person hoped that the expedition team would take him up the mountain with him, and he was willing to take out the antidote stored at home, this person was Aunt Ying's husband!

At that time, he and Aunt Ying had just gotten married, so when they heard that there was a gold mine, they wanted to make a fortune and come back to renovate the house. After the village chief asked the team leader, he agreed to Aunt Ying's husband's request. After two more days of rectification, the team entered the mountain, followed by the village chief and Aunt Ying's husband.

Qiangzi said that in fact, when they entered the mountain, they did not carry much medicine, which was not enough for everyone in the team, but because they prepared gas masks, the team leader at that time did not care too much about whether the antidote was enough. Because, no one in this expedition team into the mountains has come out of the mountains alive until now!

The most stimulated by this matter is Aunt Ying, who was widowed when she just got married, at first she washed her face with tears every day, and then began to go up the mountain day and night to find it, and finally tossed herself half dead! In fact, Aunt Ying is only in her thirties now, less than forty, but she looks like she is in her fifties, and it is hard to imagine what kind of pain she experienced at that time to be destroyed like this!

This matter is boiling again in the village, everyone feels that human life is at stake, so many people are gone, it is a pity that there is no one alive and no corpse is dead! But only one of the old men laughed and said that they had died well, and they all deserved to die!

This old man had passed away a few years ago, and he was nearly 110 years old when he left! Back in the village, this old man was always crazy, so the villagers didn't take what he said to heart.

But Wang Qiang didn't think so, he felt that the old man must have his own intentions when he said this, so Wang Qiang took advantage of the time when no one was around, found the old man and asked about the reason for this matter. Unexpectedly, a shocking secret was revealed from the old man's mouth!

It turns out that there is a tomb of the king of the ancient Qingguo in the deep mountains, in the last years of the Qingguo, there were many traitors, and the government was corrupt and corrupt! Intrigue and intrigue, countless people have been deceived to death, and the owner of the tomb of King Qing in the deep mountains was killed at that time and buried here! After the death of the prince, he didn't want to be in the world, so he moved to the deep mountains with the family members and maids of the Qingwang Mansion at that time, guarding the prince's mausoleum for generations. At first, Wangjia Village was not called Wangjia Village, but called Huwang Village, with the passage of time, Huwang Village was changed to Wang Village, and later, because the surname of the family in the village was Wang, so it eventually became Wangjia Village, because this story has passed I don't know how many years, it has long been silent in the long river of years, and now there is not this crazy old man, maybe this legend will always have to sleep here.

I listened to Wang Qiang's words, and I sighed for a while, I didn't expect such a terrifying story to exist in such a small village! I lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, straightened out my thoughts and asked, "What kind of poison is the poison in the forest?" What does this have to do with the fate of your family? ”

Qiangzi took a sip of wine, shook his head and said to me, "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet!" The source of the poison in the forest is not in the forest, but in a valley behind the forest, because it is shrouded in fog all year round, so there are no birds and beasts to inhabit, but the vegetation in the forest is quite lush, of course, there are quite a lot of herbs and poisonous weeds. After saying that, Qiangzi ate two bites of food, and then told me the story of his father.

Qiangzi's father is a very financially minded person, although since the expedition incident, the village has been blocked from foreign tourists, if there are tourists up the mountain, there will be villagers to stop the tourists, but this deep mountain and old forest, there are few people coming. Therefore, Wangjiacun has hardly been in contact with the outside world.

Only Qiangzi's father has opened the door to a new world! Qiangzi's father first dug a large basket of herbs in the mountain, carried the medicinal herbs to the bottom of the mountain on foot, and took a bus to the city at the nearest station at the bottom of the mountain.

The owner of the pharmacy is also a cheerful person, and gave Wang Qiang's father an extra hundred yuan, so that he can send medicine to his store in the future, just like this, the relationship between the two is familiar, because of this isolated, unique environment, the quality of the herbs grown is first-class, plus the friend who sold the medicine boss to introduce, slowly, a ten, ten to a hundred will become famous, many owners of the medicinal herb store come to Wang Qiang's father to buy medicine, it can also be said to make a lot of money.

Slowly, the demand for medicinal materials is increasing, so Qiangzi's father led the villagers to do the medicinal materials business together, he helped to contact buyers, and the villagers went up the mountain to collect medicines, forming a very good supply chain of medicinal herbs. Therefore, the villagers saw the smile on Qiangzi's father's face, because Qiangzi's father is like the God of Wealth for the villagers, leading everyone to build new houses, buy electricity, and many people also buy big cars.

Aunt Ying was the only one who didn't want to go into the mountains for anything, even though she made money selling medicinal herbs, she still chose to grow some vegetables and fruits by herself and sell them in the store in the car park.

In fact, apart from the people who collect medicinal herbs, there are also very few tourists who come here, so Aunt Ying can make ends meet because the villagers often visit her shop, mainly to take care of this poor woman!

The village's economy is getting better and better, and Qiangzi's father naturally becomes the village head. And Qiangzi lived up to his expectations and was admitted to university, although it is not a good university, but for this mountain village, it is already very good to be able to go to school! So the hadron was the hope for the future for the villagers at that time!

Of course, Qiangzi's father also thinks so, he entrusts all his hopes to Qiangzi, hoping that Qiangzi will one day succeed in learning and can also make a difference.

But God is not beautiful! Not long after Qiangzi entered college, he once met a thief who stole a mobile phone on the way back to school outside the school.

Qiangzi said that those gangsters often formed groups to make trouble for him, and sometimes they would simply beat him, and he was afraid that it would affect us, so he never mentioned these things to us in the dormitory, and always pretended to be himself causing trouble outside, and every time he returned to the dormitory with a blue nose and swollen face, he would tell us with high interest that he had killed a few more today! In fact, what we don't know is that he has been bullied by others!

Just for the last time, the group of thugs saw Hadron again, and without saying a word, they began to punch and kick again, because the long-term resentment had been held in his heart for too long, Hadron suddenly lost his mind, picked up a brick on the ground and smashed a thug into the hospital.

So Qiangzi entered the Public Security Bureau, but after later investigation, Qiangzi belonged to legitimate defense, but he shot a little heavier, and finally negotiated to pay the other party 20,000 yuan, and since then the matter has been settled.

Then when Qiangzi thought that he had lost money and could return to school to continue his classes unharmed, he did not expect that the parents of the gangsters who were injured by him found the principal of the school and gave the principal a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, so that Qiangzi got out of the school and arranged for his children to attend classes at school!

The expelled Qiangzi returned to the village, very depressed, and the villagers were also very concerned and sympathetic to Qiangzi's plight, after all, how could the children in the mountain village fight the children in the city! Although Hadron is not convinced, but there is nothing he can do!

Qiangzi's father has been very disappointed in Qiangzi since then, hating him for not being angry, and finally the opportunity was shattered, he felt that Qiangzi had failed the hope of the whole village, and he felt that he had no face to face the villagers, so gradually he began to become silent again!

When Hadron said this, his eyes turned red again. As soon as I drained the wine in the glass, I began to cry! A big man, sitting across from me like this, with sad tears, made me a little overwhelmed!

I quickly stood up and walked to Qiangzi's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said to him: "It's not all your fault, don't worry, God is fair!" Good people will definitely be rewarded. Hadron wiped his face with his hand, looked at me, smiled at me, and signaled that he was fine.

When I got back to my seat, Hadron suddenly let out a sigh of relief against the ceiling and said, "Ugh...... Fortunately, you brought a gas mask, and you were not poisoned, so I can confide in you, some things have been very uncomfortable in my heart for a long time, and now I have said it, and it is much easier! You know, this is the first time I've talked to someone in so long since I was fired? ”

I heard Hadron mention poisoning, so I said to Hadron with certainty, "I was poisoned, the gas mask was put on later, and after I put on the mask, I will be fine!" I was about to ask you, why are they poisoned more than me? ”

After listening to my words, Qiangzi looked at me with a puzzled expression and said, "Are you sure? I nodded vigorously, and told Qiangzi what happened at the stone tablet of Wang's tomb and how I came to my senses.

"Incredible, incredible! You must know that this poisonous fog is very likely to be made by the ancestors of our Wangjia Village in order to protect the royal tomb. Therefore, the preparation of the antidote is only available to the people of our Wangjia Village, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. If you are poisoned by the fog and have hallucinations, it is absolutely impossible to get better without our antidote, but it will seriously damage the brain, and you will become a real crazy person from now on! Even if you use the antidote, there will not be three or four days, and the person will still be groggy and weak! How did you unravel it yourself? ”

I listened to Qiangzi's words, and I was also surprised, just wanted to ask Qiangzi if there was a precedent before, and before my mouth opened, I suddenly felt a trace of it, it was a kind of indescribable, very strange feeling, I don't know where it was strange! It's just a feeling, as if there's more in my sight than just now!

Qiangzi saw me staring at him, his eyes were in a daze, so he shook his hand in front of my eyes and asked, "Hey, hey, old wilt, what's wrong with you?" ”

Just as the hadron kept shaking his arm, I suddenly realized what I was seeing. Just when Hadron opened the window just now, I clearly remembered that the background of a person was reflected in the glass, but now that I look over, there is a figure with a pale face and a long hair shawl blurred on the glass! Like a ghost in the night, standing motionless!

My lips trembled, and I lowered my voice and pointed to the window behind Hadron and said, "Strong, Hadron, yes, yes, there are ghosts!" ”

"Yes, what?" Qiangzi listened to my words, and his face was unbelievable! Suddenly turned his head to look, only to see the miserable white figure flash, and then a series of footsteps were heard.

"Someone is eavesdropping on us!" After saying that, Qiangzi picked up a kitchen knife and chased it out, I looked at the weird window, and I didn't dare to stay here by myself! Thinking about it, I chased it out with the strong son.。。

But as soon as I chased to the gate of the courtyard, I only saw Qiangzi, holding a kitchen knife, standing at the door and watching. When he saw me coming, he turned to me and said, "Damn! Let her run! Although I didn't see the face, but looking at the back, it should be a woman! ”

I followed Hadron's gaze and saw nothing but a row of footprints that had faded into the night.
