Sun Guiping soon arrived at Zhang Kailong's office, and he told us that today, at least a dozen crazy people in Laomiao Village were taken to a nearby hospital, and a few died......

Before he finished listening, he was so anxious that he wanted to run out, but was stopped by Zhang Kailong.

"Don't be impulsive, Xiao Zhen, I still have something to say to you!"

Zhang Kailong said in a low voice.

"Brother Long, I was originally an orphan, I was raised by the neighbors of Laomiao Village, I want to ......"

At that time, when I heard that such a big thing came out of Laomiao Village again, I almost cried, so I thought I would go and see, maybe I could help something.

"Xiao Zhen, have you thought about it, this matter may not be as simple as we originally thought, why are there so many nearby villages, but only Laomiao Village has so many strange things happened this year?"

I didn't understand what he meant for a moment, so I just looked at him.

Zhang Kailong continued: "This can't be explained by coincidence! Let's take a look at the map left by the antique Lee first! ”

Map? Only then did I remember that this afternoon Antique Li spent a long time drawing a map, and mysteriously called it the "Yellow River Ancient Road", and then handed over Zhang Kailong.

"What's wrong with this map?" I asked.

I mean, does the map drawn by the antique Li have something to do with so many things going on in the old temple village?

Zhang Kailong spread the map on the table and pointed to a marked place for me to see.

"Do you know where this is?" He asked

I want to scold him, knowing that I haven't even finished the second year of junior high school, and I'm still here to show my appearance!

But I only glanced at the mark on the picture, and my head was "buzzing". This actually draws the shape of an ancient bell (in fact, I think it looks like a duck pear), is this related to the ancient bell of the Yellow River?

In an instant, I remembered the three ancient bells, now two have sunk into the Yellow River, and the other one has also been buried in the ancient tomb of Linxian, and there is no more ancient clock of the Yellow River in the world. Why does the antique Li painting appear again in the picture?

Zhang Kailong asked again: "Do you know where the ancient clock is painted?" ”

I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.

"This is the old temple village!"

As soon as I heard that my scalp was numb, I said: It is related to Laomiao Village? So many things happened in the village before, and it was really not easy!

In fact, Zhang Kailong doesn't know why the antique Li painted an ancient bell symbol in the location of our village, the antique Li had asked us to see a few places marked on the map before his death, this sentence made me even more confused, I lived in Laomiao Village for 17 years, do you want to "look again"?

I communicated with Zhang Kailong late that night, and the premise of my stay was that he would accompany me back to Laomiao Village the next day, no matter how busy he was.

After experiencing so many strange things, Zhang Kailong felt that Laomiao Village might be a very key place, just this afternoon, when Chen Laosan and I accompanied Antique Li to the Yellow River, he contacted Director Yang Guoshan and checked the history of Laomiao Village in detail.

Speaking of Laomiao Village, like the history of the eight villages on both sides of the Yellow River, it is a village established by the emperor from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan and Ming dynasties, when the emperor ordered the population to migrate. There is such an interesting record in the county annals:

Legend has it that at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Zhang family was the first to move here, because they found that there was a ruined temple with only half of the wall left, so they named their newly built village Laomiao Village.

It is interesting to speculate in this way, even if the time when the village was built was at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a ruined temple here at that time, and who built the ruined temple? When was it built?

In addition, there is a very mysterious thing, that is, after the disappearance of the antique Li, the place where he was found was in this broken temple, when he was kneeling in front of a Buddha statue with half of his body left, he was already delirious, and later he learned that all the brain cells were dead!

This has become an open case.

Antique Li is dead now, but whether he is alive or dead, what is he doing in this broken temple? There must be something strange in this.

In fact, there are two strange things related to the broken temple, which I didn't tell Zhang Kailong that night.

My adoptive father has said more than once that he heard the cries of children before entering this dilapidated temple, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw my parents kneeling on the ground, and not long ago, I also found a small ancient temple in the valley where my grandmother was, almost exactly the same as in the western suburbs of this old temple village.

Talking about the murder of this girl, Zhang Kailong sighed again, the case is already a dead end at this point, the murderer has actually been caught, and it can be regarded as finding the real murderer behind the scenes, but even we can't figure it out, and we don't dare to believe it: the murderer turned out to be a person who died half a century ago, and the so-called mastermind behind the scenes is a resurrected old cadre, which is harder to believe than ghost stories.

Zhang Kailong smiled bitterly a few times, and said helplessly: "Even if it is a case!" Everyone is dead, at least give an explanation to the family, the ten corpses have also been sent to the crematorium, and now the ashes are afraid that they have been secretly scattered into the Yellow River! ”

The words have been said to this, there are no outsiders in the house, Zhang Kailong told me one thing.

In fact, everyone knows that there must be a bigger secret hidden behind the murder of this girl, but because of the current form and officialdom like the principle of "calming things down", Zhang Kailong received an order from his superiors to prohibit further investigation of the case.

The brothers of the task force are eager to close the case! Because on this day alone, hundreds of headache-inducing cases pressed over, and it seemed that overnight, a plague broke out on the land on both sides of the Yellow River, and both humans and animals became strange.

There was nothing to say that night, so Chen Laosan and I went back to the dormitory and talked about some things about my grandmother, and then we fell asleep.

After breakfast the next day, Zhang Kailong drove me and Chen Laosan to Laomiao Village, and saw many people surrounding the intersection from a distance.

"What are you looking at? There won't be another accident! ”

I've become a frightened bird, and when I see the crowd, I feel a sigh in my heart, and I'm very worried that something will happen to the neighbors.

Zhang Kailong pulled the car over to the road, and the three of them walked over quietly.

Before I could get closer, I recognized that these twenty or thirty people were all neighbors of Laomiao Village, and they seemed to be looking around to see something.

Someone can't die at the intersection again, right? I thought to myself and hurried to the front of the crowd.

No way! When I saw something in the middle of the crowd, I almost jumped up.

I saw a large wooden bucket on the ground for holding fish, and there was a python with a human head coiled around the bucket, and a large pot was coiled. If you look closely, this snake is golden as a whole, and it is an extremely rare Yellow River water snake.

The Yellow River water snake is actually a kind of fish, probably belonging to the eel, this kind of fish is very valuable, a two catties can be bought for more than 10,000 yuan at that time, the water snake in this big basin, it is estimated that there are four or five catties, the strange thing is that he actually has a little doll's head.
