Dong Dachun had already thought about the outcome of the matter in the worst direction, but he was a little resistant to this seemingly ridiculous idea in his heart.

He prefers to believe that DogDan is just going to play somewhere else, rather than running to this weird, eerie place.

Eventually, the villagers found the shriveled and blackened body of the dog in a dirt pit.

Soon, a heart-rending cry came from Dong Dachun's ears.

That was the voice of Niu Er because of the loss of his beloved son.

The villagers who had come with them stood in stride, watching with pity.

During this period, no one moved a single step.

It's not that they are calm, on the contrary, they are a little overwhelmed because they are terrified to the extreme.

Early the next morning, Dong Dachun made a decision, that is, to let his wife Zhang Hongyu take his twelve-year-old son {Xiaobao} to take refuge in a neighboring village.

Zhang Hongyu was puzzled and asked him why he didn't go together.

Dong Dachun said that his homeland was difficult to leave, and he was reluctant to give birth to the land that raised him.

Hearing this, Zhang Hongyu wiped her tears vigorously, and she really had mixed feelings.

And after Xiaobao heard that his good friend Goudaner died inexplicably, he was also filled with grief and indignation.

Instead of being afraid, he clamored to stay.

As a young child, he couldn't understand why his father let him and his mother take refuge in a neighboring village.

The heart said: How can a manly husband be frightened by a murderer, and besides, the revenge of the dog has not been avenged, if I leave so quietly, how embarrassing it will be to spread the word?

When he thought of this, Xiaobao was very unhappy.

He pouted and hugged his arms, looking like I wasn't leaving.

Dong Dachun didn't have time to ink with him, so he slapped him very rarely, "I'm your old man!" What I say is what I say, how can I let you mess around here! ”

The anger in his heart seemed to be difficult to subside, his chest rose and fell and turned his head to look at his wife, and said in a stiff tone: "This is the only seedling in our family?" Do you want him to stay and be buried with him? ”

A plain sentence, but it instantly poked the softest place in Zhang Hongyu's heart.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said nothing, but directly took her son's hand and hurried out the door.

Although he was dragged by his mother, Xiaobao still didn't want to leave, so he kept struggling and crying behind his mother.

But Zhang Hongyu didn't let go as if she had made up her mind, but pulled Xiaobao with tears in her eyes and never looked back......

At ten o'clock at noon, Dong Dachun was drinking alone at home, but his wife Zhang Hongyu ran back in a panic.

Dong Dachun was very annoyed when he saw this, and yelled at her with an unkind face: "Let you go with Xiaobao, why did you sneak back by yourself?" ”

In his eyes, Xiaobao is still very young, if there is no adult around to take care of him, how will Xiaobao live in the future?

Facing Dong Dachun's questioning, Zhang Hongyu looked a little panicked.

She slowed down for a while before she began to explain, "It's not that I ran back secretly, but that I couldn't get out of the village at all." ”

"Nonsense!"

Dong Dachun slapped the table, looking furious.

He stood up from his chair suddenly: "You said you couldn't get out of the village, where did Xiaobao go?" Don't tell me that he ran away to a neighboring village by himself! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hongyu cried even more sadly, and she sat on the ground with weak legs and feet, telling what happened before.

According to her, a thick layer of fog inexplicably rose at the entrance of the village in the morning.

Because of this, she can never see the road in front of her clearly.

Although she couldn't see clearly, she was very familiar with the geographical environment of Xini Village, so with years of experience and memory, she instinctively led Xiaobao all the way in the right direction.

Everything was going well, but halfway through, the fog was getting bigger and thicker.

So it didn't take long for Zhang Hongyu to be dizzy by the fog.

She was upset, and Xiaobao was always mischievous along the way, and in the end, the two of them were separated in the fog in a daze.

It wasn't until noon, when the fog had cleared, that she walked back the way she came.

Dong Dachun was very surprised after listening to her story, and in order to confirm his wife's statement, he chose to go to the village entrance to check it out in person.

Along the way, Dong Dachun found that many villagers were carrying bags and were rushing to the entrance of the village.

Judging from their panicked looks, it is estimated that they also want to take refuge in a neighboring village.

Of course, this is also human nature, so Dong Dachun didn't take it too seriously.

What he is worried about is his only son Xiaobao, if something happens to Xiaobao, then he will be dead.

Rushing eagerly to the entrance of the village, Dong Dachun found that as his wife said before, the fog in front of him was really thick, and he really couldn't see the road in front of him clearly.

At this time, his heart seemed to be haunted by a spell, and his mind kept recalling what the old woman said nine years ago: Please believe me, this mass grave really can't be dug up, otherwise it will definitely bring disaster to the lives of the whole village in the future!

After many years, I didn't expect that a sentence that once seemed ridiculous would really come true today.

Dong Dachun's breath was a little short, and he felt as if he had made an irreparable mistake.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate, but he had no choice but to return home in despair.

As soon as Dong Dachun got home, he locked himself in his room and didn't go out again.

He sat cross-legged on the kang, his eyes slightly narrowed and staring at the rusty iron box in a daze: since this thing was dug up from a mass grave, if it was buried again, would it be able to prevent a catastrophe in Xini Village?

At this moment, the iron box in front of him is like his last straw.

So he didn't care much, just stuffed the box into his arms with trembling hands, and then ran straight to the mass grave like a madman......

In the evening, the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy, and it didn't take long for it to rain heavily.

Xiaobao hid in the hollow of the tree, looking out from time to time, his mood was a little depressed and anxious.

At this time, the cold wind kept pouring into the tree hole, so that Xiaobao had to tighten his clothes, but this seemed to be useless, because he was still shivering from the cold wind.

In the morning, he and his mother were separated.

He wanted to run back to Xini Village the same way, but he didn't find his way back until the night in the fog.

In the second half of the night, the rain began to light up and the wind stopped.

But the humidity in the woods made it really difficult for Xiaobao to sleep, so he waited until dawn, and then he endured the cold and shivered and walked out of the tree hole.

Outside, Xiaobao found that the mountain path had become muddy.

But at this time, he can't care about this, and now he just wants to hurry back to Xini Village and find his parents.

After running along the mountain road for a long distance, Xiaobao found that the fog around the entrance of the village had dissipated, and the road in front of him was finally clearly visible.

Xiaobao was overjoyed when he saw this, and he knew that he could finally go home.

When Xiao Baoxing rushed into the village, he suddenly found that there were many villagers lying on the ground.

I saw that these people had dull complexions and darkened skin, and their eyes were round and they stretched out their hands to crawl forward.

The most terrifying thing is their shriveled appearance of skin and bones, as if they have been crushed by something all of a sudden.

Usually Xiaobao thinks he is bold enough, but seeing such a strange situation in front of him still scared him half to death, and he sat in the mud puddle and cried loudly for his parents.

Just when Xiaobao was left without a master, he suddenly heard someone shouting his name in the distance.

Xiaobao looked up nervously, and saw his parents standing on the path in front of the village and constantly waving at him.

It was a great comfort for Xiaobao to be able to see his parents in this terrifying atmosphere, and he quickly got up from the puddle and stumbled in the direction of his parents.

After running for about a few minutes, Xiaobao found that no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't run in front of his parents.

In the end, Xiaobao lost his strength and fell to the ground with a heel.

It was only then that Mom and Dad came to him.
