I reflexively retracted my body and leaned on Chen Laosan's body tightly, perhaps my reaction aroused his suspicions, and Chen Laosan immediately saw the insects in the water.

He exclaimed, "It's a man-eating leech...... It's a man-eating leech! ”

Chen Laosan was so frightened that he curled up and trembled.

Li Xiaobai and Antique Li were shouted by her, and they were busy looking at the water, and after the two saw the insects in the water, although they were also frightened, they were more curious.

Li Xiaobai asked: "Two sisters, these disgusting insects don't seem to dare to approach our boat!" ”

Xiaoqing glanced at Chen Laosan, who was trembling, and replied: "It seems that only you know these leeches, so you should tell him!" ”

Chen Laosan smiled bitterly twice, cheered up, or habitually smiled first, and said, "I recognize it at a glance, this is ...... It's a man-eating leech, and it was more than ten years ago, and some of these insects floated down the river that summer, and as long as this insect touched the skin of people and animals, even if you roasted it with fire, it couldn't get down - hey! A lot of people died! ”

More than 10 years have passed since this happened, but when the fishermen in the neighborhood talk about "man-eating leeches", they all change color, and some people joke afterwards that these insects are sent by the devil of hell to ask for their lives, and it can be said that as long as they are touched by this thing, no living creatures will be spared.

At this time, I don't know where an old beggar came, saying that these man-eating leeches were the messengers guarding the tomb, and they must have rushed out of a certain ancient tomb, and they would definitely not live for a month.

At first, no one believed the words of this dirty old beggar, who knew that after a few days, all the man-eating leeches were really gone, as if they had suddenly evaporated.

Someone with a heart calculated that from the appearance of the man-eating leech to its disappearance, it took a total of twenty-nine days.

It was then that the old beggar was remembered, but no one ever saw him again.

……

Li Xiaobai was a little unconvinced, saying that this was just a leech, and patting it with the sole of his shoe or rinsing it with warm water would immediately fall off the person's skin.

Chen Laosan shook his head and explained, let alone using warm water, even boiling water and burning it with fire will not work.

Once these insects attach to human skin, they quickly burrow into the flesh and lay eggs within ten minutes, and after a few hours, all the eggs hatch into small "man-eating leeches......

Hearing this, I understood why Chen Laosan was so scared.

While listening to Chen Laosan, I stared at the insects in the water, and I was afraid that one or two would climb up.

Perhaps seeing my concern, Xiaobi smiled at me and said, "You don't have to worry, these leeches will never come near this ship." ”

The boat slowly approached the shore.

At the end of the river is a pier, and the entire bank of the river is covered with a layer of maroon planks.

As soon as I got ashore, I immediately saw a light not far ahead, and it dawned on me that this place was the exit from the cave.

There are two exits to this cave, one in the ninth of the eighteen turns of the Yellow River, hidden in the cliff; The other exit is here.

On the shore, standing on the land, I couldn't help but look at Xiaoqing and Xiaobi, I have to admit that this figure is extremely beautiful, with slender legs, weak and boneless, Chu waist slender, but also straight, and the flesh on the body is also very well-proportioned, it can be said that it is not a little more, not a little more.

Finally, I couldn't help but look at the end of the thigh, and the feeling of bulging and budding made my body react instantly......

Out of the cave, I was stunned by the beautiful sight in front of me.

It seemed to be a large garden, and except for a path more than two meters wide in front of it, it was surrounded by all kinds of flowers and grasses, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

Xiaoqing and Xiaobi did not stop, and walked all the way forward.

Along the way, Li Xiaobai's eyes barely left the thighs of the two beauties, from the knees to the folds at the end of the thighs......

At the end of this "garden", a sparse village appeared in front of us.

I don't know how to describe what I saw at the time, but I said it was a village because it was called "Guzhai" before, but in fact it was just dozens of stone houses of various sizes, and there were no streets between them.

These houses seem to have been built along with the trend, and they all have a stone hill fifty or sixty meters high behind them.

The two beauties led us towards one of the houses.

At this time, the suppressed uncomfortable feeling in my chest suddenly came out, and I secretly said in my heart: It's not good, I'm afraid that there are evil things here......

The house in front of us was made of black stone, and the vermilion wooden door was facing us like a big mouth, which made people feel inexplicably afraid.

"Two beauties, this ...... This is where it takes us! ”

At this time, Li Xiaobai had just recovered from the obscenity of "Spring Garden", and when he saw the black house and the vermilion gate, he shouted in horror.

Xiaoqing and Xiaobi ignored him, but stood respectfully on both sides of the vermilion gate. Xiaoqing crossed her hands over her chest, bent over, and whispered to the door:

"Mom, the guest has arrived!"

After a few seconds, a hoarse voice came from inside the room, "Let them in!" ”

Listening to the voice, it was a very old lady who spoke.

Xiaoqing and Xiaobi looked back at us, stretched out their hands and made a "please" gesture:

"Go in! Mom has been waiting for a long time. ”

My doubts finally reached the extreme, and I didn't rush into the door, but stopped at the door and asked Xiaoqing and Xiaobi:

She ...... That is, how did you know that we were coming? ”

Xiaobi seemed to know that I would ask this, the corners of her mouth curled, and she said slowly: "Everything that happened around here, Mom knows." ”

When I asked again, they just looked at me with a smile and didn't answer again.

We walked into the house anyway.

It was dimly lit inside, and I don't think the three of them could see anything for a few minutes after they entered.

At a glance, I saw that in front of the doorway were layers of stone steps, and on the top platform was a large black stone chair, on which a man covered in black cloth was sitting.

If it weren't for my extraordinary eyesight, I wouldn't have been able to recognize this person, because except for his eyes, the rest of his body was wrapped in a black cloth, and it looked like this person was mixed with the black chair behind him, making it difficult to recognize.

On both sides of the stone steps are layers of stone shelves more than one person high, each of which is covered with white dustpans about one meter in diameter and covered with a layer of white cloth.

This means that there are only two colors in the room: white and black.

The impact of these two colors on the eyes is fear.

At that moment, even Chen Laosan was stunned, and muttered in a low voice: "What the hell is this grandma's place, it's a dark ......"

"You're here!"

Suddenly, the man sitting across from him spoke.

This was the hoarse voice of the old lady who had just been heard outside the house.

Li Xiaobai and the three of them didn't see such a person in the room at all, so they trembled with fright, and hurriedly stared at the old lady wrapped in black cloth.

"You...... Who are you? Wait for us to ...... What are you doing! ”

Chen Laosan asked with a trembling voice.

"Me? I'm my mom here, of course, you can also call me mom, I'm not waiting for the three of you, but just waiting for you! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right arm and pointed at me.

Strangely enough, he has black gloves on his hands.

"Wait for me? You...... Do you know who I am? ”

As soon as I heard her words, I instantly felt like I was being electrocuted, trembled all over, and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know you, and it's the first time I've seen you."

Now I didn't understand it even more, and asked suspiciously: "You don't know me, why are you waiting for me, and ...... And how did you know I was going to be here? ”

Mom (I'll call her that for the sake of narrative convenience!) He replied slowly: "As soon as you step into the river, I know that everything around me cannot be hidden from my eyes. ”

In fact, she didn't say it! What I didn't understand originally, I still don't understand.

"You...... Are you a witch? ”

I don't know if Li Xiaobai has a short circuit in his brain, and such a sentence suddenly pops up.

"Young man, just by your words, you should be bitten by insects and ants to death,—— but let's spare you this time! No one dares to disrespect me, and you are no exception! ”

She said this slowly, and her voice was low, but it made people shudder to hear it.

Li Xiaobai was also frightened and hurriedly closed his mouth.

"Hm...... Mom, my friend is also curious, it seems that this place is quite far away from the eighteen turns of the Yellow River! How did you know about us...... We're looking for this stockade! ”

Mom laughed a few times, the sound was like the sound of old furniture cracking, low and hoarse, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, I saw her arms stretch out, and then several small red flying insects flew out of her sleeves.

It was a red bug slightly larger than a mosquito and a little smaller than a fly, and with my excellent hearing I could hear the sound of "buzzing" wings vibrating.

The red bugs circled around Mom a few times before suddenly flying towards us.

Chen Laosan and I reacted quickly, and we were about to reach out to drive away the insects that were about to fly.

"Are you looking for death? If you dare to touch it, your whole body will quickly rot away......"

Mom then shouted.

As soon as she said this, we hurriedly reached back again.

A few red bugs circled around the heads of the four of us a few times and flew back into the sleeves of my mother's clothes.

"This is my child! Your whereabouts are what they told me...... Profound! I forgot to tell you, I have a lot of children, they are like my eyes, my ears, let me know everything that is going on around me. ”

If I'm not mistaken, there should be similar flying insects at the entrance of the cliff, like detectives, shuttling back and forth, telling Mom the news in a way I don't know.

What I don't understand is why the people waiting for Mom are just me, and not Li Xiaobai and the three of them?

Mom seemed to understand my thoughts, laughed a few more times, and said slowly:

"You don't know how good my kids are! Not only did they tell me that there were four people coming, but they also told me that one of these four people we had been waiting for for more than ten years was you! ”
