Chapter 10 Rice Fields
Taishang Laojun's disciple, a person who can handle even the river god, now sees the ghost on the bridge, and he is scared!
The character of the goddess suddenly collapsed.
After the two of them ran, they turned their heads to look at the bridge again, and the figure in white on the bridge was gone.
My heart was beating wildly, the ugly orange was a girl after all, and I was also scared, so I tugged on Lao Qin's cuffs and asked, "Uncle Qin, shall we still cross the bridge?" ”
Lao Qin stared at the bridge for a long time with a gloomy face, and said in a low voice:
"The dart is on the third child, and the others are not there, what's the use of just let's cross the bridge, let's go, go back first."
The old peasant had already locked the gate when he ran home, and refused to open the door no matter how much we discussed, for fear that we would bring back the female ghost of the bridgehead.
We had no choice but to take out our tents and set up in a secluded place at the head of the village, waiting for Yan Laosan to come back and discuss the itinerary.
I was amazed by the performance of the goddess of the bridge, and at the same time I was puzzled, since she was incompetent, why could she cure the evil woman in front of us? Are they draggers? But when I think of the man's crying snot, it's really not like a handful of tears!
I was still lying down and slipping away, Lao Qin came over and patted me, and signaled me to go out with him outside the tent.
He walked forward with his head bowed and his hands behind his back, and when he saw me coming up, he looked at me and asked:
"What do you think of today's events?"
I looked around, wrapped my clothes tightly, and whispered:
"This goddess..."
As soon as I said the beginning, Lao Qin interrupted me with a wave of his hand:
"I'm asking you, what do you think about Yan Laosan's absence tonight?"
Originally, I made an appointment with the goddess to meet by the river tonight during the day, but Yan Laosan went out in the evening and never came back, so I shook my head.
Lao Qin snorted coldly and said: "The dart thing is on him, but he didn't come, this Yan Laosan obviously didn't think about crossing the bridge tonight!" ”
I was stunned when I heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the truth.
"Yan Laosan has long seen that the goddess is a liar?" Remembering that he nodded respectfully to the goddess during the day, was he also pretending?
Lao Qin tilted his head and glanced at me, and said in a deep voice, "There is still a possibility. ”
Another possibility?
I thought about it for a moment and said:
Or........ He wasn't sure if Ann was safe, so let us be cannon fodder to test first? ”
Lao Qin was silent, as if he had acquiesced, my heart was cold, this dirty man with long hair, is his heart really so dark, in order to cross the river for the bodyguard, I, an outsider, don't mention it, and I don't care about the lives of Lao Qin and the ugly orange?
Seeing that I was frightened, Lao Qin approached me and asked in a low voice:
"Before leaving, did Yan Laosan say anything special to you?"
Yan Laosan talked a lot to me, and if he wanted to tell me something special, I suddenly remembered that when I was smoking at the door of the hotel, he did tell me one sentence: Beware of Lao Qin!
Both of these people wanted me to be a spy, and I couldn't talk nonsense about anything until I figured things out, and if I made a wrong move, it was easy to get into trouble, and I shook my head:
"No, he didn't say anything."
I secretly sighed in my heart about the complicated interpersonal relationships of this organization, but tonight Yan Laosan used us as cannon fodder is just a speculation, if this is the case, then he should have hid not far away at the time to peek, and he should have come back.
I had just finished thinking about it, and a loud shout came from afar: "Yo, what about the wind?" ”
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and when he looked back, it was Yan Laosan who walked over striding on his slippers.
It seems that Lao Qin still hasn't finished talking to me, and when he saw Yan Laosan come back, he turned back into that cold bitter gourd face.
"Third child, what are you doing?"
Yan Laosan laughed, and responded without care: "Go out and see the terrain, by the way, what did the goddess say tonight?" ”
Yan Laosan had a loud voice, and when he heard him coming back, the ugly orange came out of the tent and threw himself straight into his arms.
"Big brother, you're finally back!"
Yan Laosan hugged the pouting ugly orange and asked worriedly: "What's wrong girl, your face is so bad?" ”
The ugly orange hurriedly told Yan Laosan everything that happened by the river, especially the long-haired figure on the bridge deck!
Yan Laosan took a breath after hearing this, and beckoned us to go back to the tent first.
Sitting down, he lit a cigarette, thought for a moment and said, "It's a ghost to say, I'm afraid of ........"
I blurted out: "Ghosts are all easy to say, what is more afraid than ghosts?" ”
Lao Qin lowered his head and replied coldly: "I'm afraid it's a shadow!" ”
This sentence sounds nothing at first glance, but after thinking about it, I instantly reacted, the notoriety of this river is known to everyone for several miles, and the year before last there was a cow driver who died on the bridge, and the locals definitely did not dare to go on the bridge! That is to say, if there is a human figure on the bridge, it must be an outsider, and if an outsider appears there, there is a bad possibility, a robbery!!
These robbers are not only meticulous, but also ruthless! Thinking of the toad-eyed old man, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, if he hadn't played a game for us, the man and the woman would not have died, Da Fei would not have been arrested, and I would not have fallen into the current situation of being sacrificed to the river at any time.
Yan Laosan took a few puffs of cigarette.
"Not a big problem! Don't panic about this, let's not rush to cross the bridge, first understand whether the shadow on the bridge is a person or a ghost! ”
I looked at the delicate wooden box that Yan Laosan was carrying on his chest, and I felt all kinds of feelings in my heart, it was really not easy to think of them in this business, walking late every night, rising and resting, not only worrying about cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but also having to lick blood on the tip of the knife!
There was nothing to be done at the moment, and after Yan Laosan instructed us again on safety matters, he let us rest. We brought two tents, he lived with the ugly orange, and I lived with Lao Qin, Lao Qin didn't seem to want to talk to me, so he went to sleep directly after lying down.
After dawn, we were eating in our tent when we heard a lively discussion on the side of the road. I went out with Yan Laosan to see the situation, and saw a group of villagers in a circle, all looking nervous, and the discussion was in full swing.
In the past, when they heard it, they were chatting about the ghost of the villagers last night, and I thought that the old farmer should have gone home to spread the news.
Yan Laosan was very interested, opened his mouth to ask about the situation of the fellow, a man with a sallow face looked at him, then looked back at our tent and said:
"You're foreign? What are you doing? ”
"Don't do anything, passing by."
The sallow-faced man immediately made a frightened expression, and whispered:
"Hurry up, hurry up, I saw a ghost last night, but don't live outside!"
Yan Laosan responded with a smile and said, "It's not a big problem, what's going on?" ”
The villager breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and said: "At about three o'clock in the morning today, I went to the rice field to release water, and I saw a big strong man who had died in our village for two years!" ”
Big Zhuangzi? I feel a little familiar with the name of the fellow, and I recall it violently, this big strong man seems to be mentioned by the old farmer's daughter-in-law, the little brother who drowned the cow across the bridge without believing in evil in the first two years!!
The figure on the bridge we saw last night was definitely a woman, and it was not the same as the one we saw!! I gasped.
To say that we saw maybe people, but this cowherd boy named Da Zhuangzi has been dead for two years, and the whole village knows about him falling into the river and drowning, which is a bit scary!
Could it be that the goddess is right, last night was really the day when the door of ghosts was wide open and a hundred ghosts walked at night?
Yan Laosan was also stunned for a moment, and confirmed: "Fellow, are you right? ”
The sallow-faced man waved his hand again and again: "I think it's good, when he was alive, he had to pass through our family's rice field to herd cattle, and I could always see him, 100% of the big strong man, I was scared to death!" ”
After that, these villagers started all kinds of speculations and all kinds of additions!
"Fellow, where is your home?"
The fellow turned his head and pointed to the side of the mountain: "Just over there, the first piece of land at the root of the mountain!" ”
Yan Laosan glanced at me and nodded, pulling me out of the crowd.
In different places, two different ghosts appeared, and the village became more and more mysterious!
When he returned to the tent and told Lao Qin and Ugly Orange about the situation, he was also surprised.
Things have developed here, it's not just the river god's business, this ghost doesn't clean up, we don't dare to cross the bridge, seeing that no one speaks, I said: "Why don't we cross this bridge, go around a long way, right?" ”
Yan Laosan shook his head: "No, it's been delayed for two days, and if you don't have that effort, it's not a big problem!" ”
Yan Laosan does have the demeanor of being the boss, and whatever comes to his mouth, he must bring a mantra: It's not a big problem.
I sighed and asked, "What then?" Are you still looking for that goddess? ”
Yan Laosan raised his eyebrows and took two steps in the tent: "Don't look for her, let's go to the rice field tonight to meet this ghost!" ”
I shuddered: "Looking for a ghost? ”
.............................
Yan Laosan is a maverick, although I strongly oppose it with Ugly Orange, but it is useless.
After nightfall, the lights were turned off and rested, except for the occasional barking of dogs, the village was quiet, Yan Laosan left the ugly orange and Lao Qin in the tent and took me to the rice field.
These people walk at night all year round, and they should have seen a lot of ghosts and gods, so they are naturally bold, but I can't. Seeing that he was just carrying a wooden box, with empty hands and nothing else, I really didn't know the bottom of my heart. Whispered Ask:
"Big brother, you've been walking at night for so many years, and you've seen a lot of ghosts, right?"
Yan Laosan nodded: "I've seen it all, I've seen it all." ”
I swallowed and asked uneasily:
"So much experience, it's all half Mr. Yin and Yang, right?"
Yan Laosan sneered and waved his hand: "What Mr. Yin and Yang, just look at the excitement, and I won't catch ghosts." ”
My heart suddenly cooled half, and I shouted angrily:
"Yan Laosan, you don't know how to catch ghosts, what kind of ghost are you leading me to, are you fooling me?" I was about to turn back when he grabbed me, pulled me back, and pressed me into the barren grass by the side of the road.
Seeing that he was about to open his mouth to scold him, Yan Laosan raised his hand and pointed to the side of the rice field:
"Look!"
I looked in the direction of his finger and almost jumped up.
In the distance, it seems that something is lying in the muddy rice field, slowly crawling towards us!!
