Chapter 7 Sacrifice to the River

Yan Laosan said with great interest, and I poured cold water on him bluntly: "Don't do it!" ”

What kind of dart?,Isn't it just to send couriers.,It's unique to say.,It's a big night out to send couriers.。

"Now that we've found it, it's none of our business, what about my buddy?"

Yan Laosan's eyes flickered, stared at me and said:

"Hey, your buddy still has half a life left, don't you agree, that person won't let go!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

I stepped forward and grabbed him: "Yan Laosan, what you say doesn't count, isn't this a scoundrel?" ”

"I'm a scoundrel, why didn't you obey at that time, wouldn't it be so much trouble to just hit and kill that old man? I don't have two subordinates now, and there will be not enough people for that trip in a few days, what do you say? ”

I was just about to open my mouth, but Yan Laosan laughed: "Otherwise, in a few days, you will accompany my brother on this dart, as long as it is delivered safely, I will definitely release him." ”

Naturally, I disagreed: "What if you're going to play scoundrels again?" ”

Yan Laosan was stunned for a while, stretched out the three fingers of his right hand and made an oath: "I swear that it will not work, Lao Zhouzhuang, you only need to help my brother protect this dart, if I don't release people, it will be miscellaneous!" ”

In their hands, I actually have little room for maneuver, and besides, seeing that he swears not like a villain, I still agreed after thinking twice.

Yan Laosan was overjoyed and happily hugged me and walked back.

"What to do with the old man with a dark face? Did you already guess that he took the thing? ”

"It's not that I guessed it a long time ago, your analysis is correct, in fact, the two people who are most likely to take things along are the two people who robbed the dart, and if you exclude them, only Lao Qin will be left."

Yan Laosan looks bold and rough, but in fact, he is rough and fine, I can feel that he is very sophisticated in his thoughtful thinking.

"Do you want to go back and ask him?"

Yan Laosan waved his hand: "Don't mention it, let this matter go first." ”

On the way back, Yan Laosan was in a very good mood because of my joining, and told me that their practice of betting on darts had existed as early as the Ming Dynasty, and also told me about the strange things he had encountered on the road over the years.

Like a three-legged toad, the last train of No. 13, a haunted little deserted building, and a remy horse.......

Yan Laosan's spittle is very interesting, it sounds down-to-earth and unconventional, as if he really saw it with his own eyes.

Suddenly, I became interested in this dart trip.

..................

Only the room on the front door and the left side of the dart bureau is inhabited, and the remaining two rooms are pasted with black paper, and the big lock lock is strong, especially the one on the right, which actually uses an iron door, and I don't know what is put inside.

Ugly Orange said that these two rooms are forbidden places for the dart game, especially the one with the iron gate, and even Yan Laosan has never entered it.

The life in this courtyard for a few days was quite comfortable, as Yan Laosan said, although it was determined that the things on the corpse were taken by the old man with a dark face, but he did not make a noise or question, he could not bear it when he ate inside and out, I don't know what kind of calculation this Yan Laosan is playing.

Ugly oranges circled around me every day, telling me about things and things, and I got to know them better.

One Wednesday afternoon, not long after the sun had set, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard, and there was a fat, well-dressed fat man with a fat head and big ears, and a delicate boxy box in his hand.

The dark-faced old man accompanied Yan Laosan and the fat man in the main hall room until more than ten o'clock in the evening, I deliberately paid attention, when the fat man left, his hands were empty, obviously leaving the delicate box.

In the evening, Yan Laosan convened a meeting with me and Ugly Orange, and determined that he would go to Lao Zhouzhuang to deliver darts in three days. Lao Zhouzhuang is a small village in Linxing, listen to her meaning, we can't take the plane and train, we can only take a ride along the way.

Although I didn't ask, I guessed a general reason, their dart bureau, to put it bluntly, is an underground express organization, dare not take planes and trains, it should be afraid of the security check out of the darts.

The things that the fat man brought, just looking at the box are worth a lot of money, and the contents may not be a cultural relic or something!

I slept in the same room with the old man with a dark face, and I knew that he had stolen the contents of the corpse, and I had always had a bad impression of him, and none of us had any of them in the past few days.

Somehow tonight, the old man suddenly opened his mouth to talk to me first:

"Young man, where are you from?"

I yawned and replied, "Local, what's the matter?" ”

"Ming'er will set off, I see that you kid is tiger-headed, and I will tell you two words!"

The old man's eyes were dull and his face was gloomy, and it was not a good thing from his face alone, and I sneered in my heart and said:

"Okay, uncle, you say, I'll listen."

The old man waved his hand: "My surname is Qin, you can just call me Lao Qin." ”

Let me call him Lao Qin, do you want to be close to me?

I smiled and said, "Okay, Old Qin." ”

He nodded with satisfaction and said: "The way to Lao Zhouzhuang tomorrow is very dangerous, you are still so young, if you don't want to lose your life, just keep what I say next in mind." ”

Lao Qin said it slowly, it really seemed to be for my good, I felt very funny when I saw his expression in place.

"Well, you say!"

"I don't know if Yan Laosan told you, there is a high-voltage line in our dart bureau, and you can't look at the dart."

I let out a long "oh..." This is reasonable, just like working in the company, some of the customer's documents need to be kept confidential, just do your job as an ordinary employee, don't interfere too much.

"Well, that's fine."

Lao Qin lowered his voice and continued: "The second point, let's take the mountain road, ghosts and spirits will not be rare in the barren mountains and mountains, put your hands honestly, don't mess with the dead people's things." ”

Not to mention, the old man said these two points clearly, and it really looks like an old-timer instructing a newcomer.

Seeing that I should admit Lao Qin coughed: "Also, it is very likely that you will encounter a robbery dart on the road, keep your mouth clean, and don't have a stubble with people you don't know." ”

He said that these points were all right, and I nodded repeatedly.

After Lao Qin said this, he stared at me and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Last but not least, beware of Yan Laosan!"

I was stunned when I heard this, it's interesting, this dark-faced old man who steals things still wants to bite back?

I would like to ask meaningfully:

"Lao Qin, let's be more clear, what's wrong with Yan Laosan, why should I be wary of him."

Lao Qin smiled bitterly, and the laughter was very ugly.

"Child, you have little experience, some people's good and bad can't be distinguished by first impression alone, Yan Laosan is not such a rugged man with such a rough appearance."

"How?" I'm interested in hearing how he smears his boss.

Lao Qin took a breath and continued:

"You should be the first time you've heard of it, our industry has been underground from ancient times to the present, and the people in the dart bureau are all sons inheriting their father's business, and they haven't recruited people from outside, you kid is smart, but there are many people smarter than you, why did Yan Laosan drag you in, I'm afraid there is a way here."

I explained, "Didn't you just have two people dead, and you don't have enough people?" ”

Lao Qin waved his hand: "There are three people in this courtyard, but outside the courtyard, there are still eight people in our dart bureau!" ”

There are eight more out there! I was stunned when I heard this, and Yan Laosan said that there were not enough people, but he didn't say that there were eight people!

I suddenly felt completely sleepy, and sat up from the bed, I always thought that Yan Laosan only had these few subordinates, if Lao Qin's words were true, then my previous inference would be wrong again.

In other words, it may not be Lao Qin who took the body away from the back window of the hotel that night, but it may be one of the eight people outside the hospital.

I boldly asked, "Old Qin, did you bring the dead body back to the inn on my back?" ”

Lao Qin's eyes froze when he heard this: "No." ”

Seeing that I was stunned, Lao Qin added: "I stayed with the ugly orange that night and never went out. ”

In an instant, it was like a big stone was pressed down in my heart, and Yan Laosan was tired of playing tricks with me!

In this way, the person who came into contact with the corpse was actually a stranger outside the hospital, even if it was not a stranger outside the hospital, there was still a possibility.

Yan Laosan guards and steals himself!! Or maybe something wasn't lost at all!!

So, why did this rugged Yan Laosan ask me to accompany the dart?

Lao Qin took out a map from under the bed, sat on the edge of my bed with the map, pointed to the route on the map, and said:

"You see, there are two roads for us to go to Lao Zhouzhuang, if we take this one, it will be much farther, and it is very close to take this road, but the problem is that this road must pass through a big river, called a river, this river is dead all year round, although there is a bridge on the river, but no one has passed, the locals say, unless the river god sacrifices a living person before crossing the bridge........."

I understand what Lao Qin meant, and after he finished speaking, a layer of cold sweat appeared on my forehead.

Does Yan Laosan want me to make an honest sacrifice and push me down the river to worship the river god before crossing the bridge?

It's not that there is no such possibility, I gasped, now this dark-faced old man and Yan Laosan have their own words, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and I am completely confused.

........................

The next day when it got dark, Yan Laosan, the old man with a dark face, the ugly orange and me, the four of us set off from the courtyard in the barren mountain.

Yan Laosan put the wooden box on his chest and walked in front of Lao Qin, I deliberately slowed down and walked behind with the ugly orange, on the way, I asked her in a whisper:

"Ugly orange, let me ask you something?"

Ugly has a crush on me, so when I ask him, he basically knows everything.

The ugly orange grinned, leaked out a mouthful of holed worm fangs, and said, "You ask." ”

"Let's dart game, apart from these people in the courtyard, are there any people who haven't come back?"

Ugly Orange didn't shy away from it at all, and opened his mouth and said: "There are eight more outside the hospital, but they never come back, I haven't seen them, only the eldest brother knows them." ”

Sure enough, there were eight more people, and my heart tightened, and I asked again:

"Then do you know that on the night I came, the dead man with darts was brought back by Lao Qin?"

Ugly Orange thought about it carefully and said, "It shouldn't be, I was with him all the time that night, and he never went out." ”

My heart was shocked, Lao Qin actually didn't lie!!

Then the darts on the corpse were not stolen by Lao Qin, and besides, eighty percent really didn't lose them!

At this time, I saw Lao Qin in front of me take out a map and discuss with Yan Laosan: "Look, which way do we go?" ”

Yan Lao pointed with three hands: "Take this shortcut!" ”

He really chose the shortcut that needed to be sacrificed to the river god!! Looking at Yan Laosan's back, my lips were dry, and a cold current penetrated into my heart!!

It seems that this trip to Lao Zhouzhuang is really auspicious.........
