Chapter 12: The Base
Yan Laosan dragged me back in a panic, and the next day I got the news that the goddess and the big strong man were found locked in the house, and both of them went crazy!
The appearance of the big strong man jumped around, which surprised the villagers, the two madmen couldn't arrange it, and the village chief called the police to find their relatives, and this investigation found that they were relatives and nephews!
The simple villagers finally reacted, but fortunately it was not too late.
The absurd rumors of the river god have finally come to an end, but there are still some things that are not clear, how can the clothes that the goddess put in the rice box in advance turn into a woman's caftan in advance? What's going on with the ghost shadow that appeared behind Da Zhuangzi.........
Yan Laosan just laughed when he heard these questions, and he didn't care at all. We finally started to cross the bridge, and walking on the moss-covered bridge deck, my heart was still up and down!
I deliberately walked at the end, one was afraid that the white-clothed female ghost would suddenly appear, and the other was afraid that Yan Laosan would harm me, this short stone bridge of three or five meters long I walked extremely heavy, ironically, it took so much courage and worry to step on this bridge, but it only took more than a minute to cross the bridge.
Safe.
The moment I stepped off the stone bridge, I breathed a deep sigh of relief. The villagers on this side of the bridge have not walked on it for many years, so it stands to reason that they should be very panicked. But there is a neat path, and after a short walk along the path, you will see an orchard, and behind the orchard there is a hidden thatched house.
Yan Laosan picked a fruit, turned it in his hand and asked me, "Do you know?" ”
I took a closer look, and the fruit was green, slightly smaller than an apple, and looked crisp and delicious.
"Begonia fruit?"
Lao Qin suddenly frowned, took the fruit over and looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly realized:
"No wonder, it turned out to be glazed fruit!"
It's the first time I've heard this name, and I picked one casually and was just about to take a bite to taste it, but Yan Laosan snatched it up:
"Boy, this fruit is poisonous!"
I was stunned for a moment, pointed to the thatched hut behind the orchard and said, "How can it be poisonous?" This grass house should be lived by Da Zhuangzi, this fruit tree was planted neatly by him, didn't he plant fruit for food? ”
Yan Laosan threw the fruit into the ground, and said as he walked forward slowly:
"Do you remember the evil woman who was cured by the goddess in front of us?"
"Well, remember, she also earned 10,000 yuan!" Ever since I knew that the goddess was a liar, I had been wondering how she cured the patient, and after hearing Yan Laosan mention this poisonous fruit, I suddenly realized.
Poisoned!!
Lao Qin continued: "This glazed fruit is beautiful and delicious, but it is poisonous, although the toxicity is very slow, if it is not detoxified for a long time, it can also be fatal." ”
I think of overhearing the conversation between the goddess and Da Zhuang that night, saying that there is their secret behind the bridge, and it turns out that their secret is this poisonous orchard!!
Yan Laosan laughed, glanced at Lao Qin and praised: "Lao Qin is really knowledgeable, this is indeed a glazed fruit, it is not common." The big strong man's arms are soft and long, and his breathing is powerful, he should be a person with excellent water nature, if I guess correctly, when he drove cattle across the bridge and drowned, he was specially performed for the villagers! ”
"Pretend to be drowning, promote the superstition of the river god, make the villagers fear the river god and dare not cross the bridge, and then live behind the bridge to plant poisonous fruits, secretly poison people, and then the goddess pretends to be a god to detoxify!" I followed my train of thought and blurted out.
The young couple had just gotten married, and the goddess calculated that they had money, so she secretly poisoned the man's daughter-in-law! The ugly orange also understood, and scolded the goddess for being a liar.
Finally sorted out this set, and now there is only one doubt, what is the matter with the figure in white on the bridge?
At that time, I heard from the goddess on the bridge that their village had drowned a little daughter-in-law who had just crossed the door by the river twenty years ago, but it was an accident and had nothing to do with the goddess. I always felt that this drowned ghost was helping us, intentionally or unintentionally.
Speaking of this, Yan Laosan and Lao Qin both shook their heads, but I concluded that there was something strange about this matter!
........................
After crossing the river with a false alarm, we stayed in the mountains for two nights, and arrived at Lao Zhouzhuang without danger!
After entering Lao Zhouzhuang, Yan Laosan asked us to find a hotel to live in, and he went to deliver darts alone.
Yan Laosan was not there, Lao Qin had the opportunity to be alone with me again, before leaving, he scared me and said that Yan Laosan asked me to accompany me, because he wanted to use me to sacrifice to the river god, and I was scared all the way, and I was on guard everywhere.
Fortunately, it didn't happen according to this script, and the high tension of a few days made me feel haggard, and after taking a hot shower, I plunged into the bed to get a solid sleep.
Since I entered the room, Lao Qin has been staring at me, and when I saw that I was finished cleaning up and lying down, he sat down, and I knew that he wanted to sow discord again, so he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Lao Qin coughed, cleared his throat and said:
"Young man, aren't you glad you didn't die this time?" It's nonsense, and I still close my eyes tightly and don't even look at him.
"I didn't sacrifice you to the river god this time, that's because Yan Laosan saw that this thing was fake, and I didn't use you, it's not that I made a mistake!"
Lao Qin knew that I hadn't slept, and when he saw that I didn't reply, he said back and forth.
"Young man, if you don't leave, the next dart will kill you!"
I really couldn't help it, who would have thought that this old man would have a gloomy face in front of him and so many words in the back. I sat up directly, stared at him and said:
"Lao Qin, I have a small shop of purple clay pots in the city, my little boss is very good, who wants to follow you all over the world every night? If you really want to help me, don't say so much, just tell me, where is my brother? ”
A sneer leaked from Lao Qin's face.
"This dart, Yan Laosan is taking your brother's life to threaten you, right?"
"That's right, Yan Laosan said that he would release people when he arrived at Lao Zhouzhuang."
Lao Qin giggled when he heard this, and his laughter was eerie and terrifying.
I interrupted him with a wit: "What's so funny about that? ”
Lao Qin almost turned his back on his breath with a smile, stared at me with dull eyes and said:
"Your little brother, it's not in Yan Laosan's hands at all, what is he going to do to release people?"
"Not in his hands??"
Lao Qin nodded and added, "On the way back to take the two of you that night, I met a group of people, who probably took your brother as a dead man with a dart and snatched him away. ”
As soon as these words fell, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and my whole person froze instantly!!
Needless to say, it must be the toad-eyed old man's gang of robbers, Da Fei and I were drugged by Yan Laosan in the hotel that night, could it be that they mistakenly took Da Fei as a male corpse in sunglasses and robbed the wrong person?
In fact, I have always felt strange, if Yan Laosan really suspects that the two of us have stolen something, he can lock up both of us and interrogate him slowly, why did he just let me go and escort Da Fei?
When talking about this key mouth, Yan Laosan came back, he carried a piece of beer, bought some appetizers, and pushed the door to drink with a smile.
Lao Qin didn't drink or smoke, so he went to sleep next door alone, and before leaving, he gave me a meaningful look.
This trip was thrilling, Yan Laosan was naturally happy, and kindly gave me a bottle of beer:
"Lao Qin is old, and the ugly orange is a little girl, these two of them don't drink at all, it's really good to have you, let's take two sips!"
I took the bottle and slammed it on the table.
Yan Laosan was startled, and looked up at me suddenly: "What's wrong, brother?" ”
I asked tentatively: "Yan Laosan, I came with you on this trip to Lao Zhouzhuang, what about my brothers?" ”
He let out an embarrassed "oh", poured half a bottle of beer in one go, burped and said:
"Brother, your brother is a little troublesome!"
"What do you mean?"
Yan Laosan put his arm on the table and continued with a sad face:
"I won't hide it from you, others are not in my hands now!" Lao Qin was right, he really confessed.
"The night I brought you back, I met a gang of dart robbers, and they mistakenly took your brother for a dart object!"
"You're lying to me!" I was so angry that I grabbed Yan Laosan's collar.
Yan Laosan didn't fight back, but kept explaining: "Brother, it's wrong for me not to tell you the truth, but don't worry, I will definitely get you back!" ”
I pushed him back in disappointment.
"Find a fart, the toad-eyed old man's gang kills people without blinking, it's impossible to say whether my brother will live or not."
Yan Laosan rubbed his neck, and cautiously got up to close the window. poked his head and whispered: "Brother, they have my pedestal over there, and your brother is not dead!" ”
The base is the jargon of their yin dart, which should mean undercover.
I waved my hand and scolded: "Yan Laosan, our brother crossed the mountains and mountains to send you dead, but you are ungrateful, you are a fucking big hooligan, which sentence is true and which is false?" ”
Yan Laosan sighed and poured half a bottle of wine in one go.
"Brother, it's not right for me to deceive people, but now it's really like this, I swore to you, don't worry, I will definitely rescue your brother! And I already have a plan now. ”
At this point, just scolding didn't help, I took a big sip of beer depressedly, wiped my mouth and asked:
"What's the plan?"
Yan Laosan leaned his head over and whispered: "In a few days, we will pick up a big dart, and the wind will be heard on the other side of the base, they will definitely come to rob the dart, let's make a game on the road, and arrest the leader for your brother!" ”
Still darts? I let out a long sigh.
"What to do, are you sure?"
Yan Laosan nodded firmly: "As long as the game is successful, we will definitely be able to catch someone, and what we want to catch is the toad-eyed old man you met on the road!" ”
The old man is not young, and he should be a leader on the other side, and if he is really caught, he should be able to change out of Da Fei.
Da Fei's life is at stake, and after thinking about it, I had to nod in agreement, and Yan Laosan apologized and toasted again. After three rounds of drinking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he instructed me:
"By the way, let's do this halfway, don't tell Lao Qin."
Da Fei is not in Yan Laosan's hands, this matter is what Lao Qin told me, and I asked him why he wanted to hide it from Lao Qin.
Yan Laosan's eyes were like torches, and he said word by word:
"I suspect that Lao Qin is the base of the robber party!!"
