I frowned and said, "What are you doing with me, aren't you tired of running back and forth?" ”

Old Joe tilted the bridge of his nose and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid of ......"

I didn't have a good breath and said, "Now that I know I'm scared, why did I go to you earlier?" If you hadn't urinated in the open that would have caused this kind of trouble? ”

In the eyes of most people, urinating everywhere can only be regarded as an immoral behavior, although disgusting but not a big fault, but I want to say that it is best to be a person to observe public morality, sometimes a person is unlucky, even if it is just an unintentional mistake, it is very likely to lead to disastrous consequences.

Old Qiao said with a bitter face, "Boss Ye, I know it's wrong, but ...... Where did the pit come from on this barren mountain and wild mountain, I can't hold it home, right? ”

I said, "Let's not discuss that for now, you go back and guard Azanji, and there will be no problem with following him, by the way, where did your kid pee, why did you provoke the female spirit in the wooden building?" ”

Old Joe looked confused, scratched the back of his head and said, "I can't remember either, when I was tired of chopping wood, I sat nearby to rest, who would deliberately remember the place to pee?" ”

I asked again, "There are rotting corpses everywhere in the wooden building, and you didn't see them when you peed?" ”

Old Joe immediately shook his head and said, "No, I didn't see a single corpse when I came here to pee a few days ago, otherwise how could I pee?" ”

This is strange, Lao Qiao is just colliding with evil, and he is not blind, how can he not see the rotting corpses in this place, could it be that he is affected by the yin qi?

Old Qiao lowered his face in a daze, "Boss Ye, my business depends on you, you go early and come back early." ”

I said "I know" impatiently, and then quickly walked out of this clearing, muttering more and more in my heart, feeling that Lao Qiao was very likely not telling the truth, this old boy should have something to hide from us, right?

I went to the nearest town, and it took me a long time to find the only funeral shop, and told the boss that I was going to buy a large number of incense and candles, and the boss took out all the money from the shop and tied it into two bundles for me to carry on my shoulders.

I was about to leave after paying the bill, when the owner of the funeral shop stopped me and said, "Little brother, do you buy so many goods for doing white things at one time?" No one has to die so much. ”

I didn't want to waste time with him, so I casually said, "I'm going to the back of the eagle's beak." ”

The funeral shop owner's face turned white with a "swish", and he said in a trilling voice, "What...... What do you say when you're going to go to the eagle's beak? Is that the dead man's pit near the turret? ”

I wondered, "You know this place?" ”

The owner of the funeral shop trembled and said, "I know, everyone who lives nearby doesn't know that ghost place, brother, listen to my brother's advice, that place is very evil, full of rotting corpses, it's best not to go if you can......'t go."

I smiled, "Thank you for being kind enough to remind me, but it's okay, maybe after I've been there, the eagle's beak will never be evil again." ”

When I came out of the funeral shop, I thought about it for a long time, and I felt more and more that Old Joe didn't tell me the truth.

The eagle's beak is the place where those rotting corpses are piled up, and it is also the "pit" in Azanji's mouth, and the residents of the town know that it is an evil land, why does Lao Qiao, who lives in the mountains, not know? Still taking such a big risk to walk there and pee?

If it were me, I would rather hold my urine and walk two miles more than spill my urine in such a wicked place. Besides, there are rotting corpses all over the ground, and Old Joe is really blind and can't see a single corpse?

Unlikely.

On the way back, I had been pondering this, and after walking a short distance, I saw a merchant who was picking something resting in the woods, so I hurried up and handed the merchant a cigarette.

The merchant took a cigarette and took a puff, grinned and said, "Brother, look at your dress, you are from the city, why do you pick so many things into the mountains?" ”

I hurriedly said, "I have a friend who lives nearby and someone has died in the family, so I'll send him some funeral supplies." ”

The merchant sighed, took another puff of cigarette, and suddenly raised his head, "Brother, isn't it?" Are you going the wrong way, where is there a house in this neighborhood? ”

I was stunned for a moment and pointed in the direction of Lao Qiao's village, "Isn't there a small village there?" ”

The merchant's face changed, his mouth twitched, and he stood up and said, "Brother, you ...... Don't joke, the people in that village have been vacated more than ten years ago, saying that they have been haunted all the time, your friend is a ghost, how can he live there? ”

I felt that this merchant was very strange, and my heart moved, and I asked again, "Big brother, you often deliver goods to several nearby villages, do you know a person surnamed Qiao?" ”

The merchant's mouth trembled when he smoked, and he picked up the basket and ran away without saying a word, "I don't know, I don't know anyone......"

He ran in a hurry, as if he had been called for a debt, and I caught up with him, but my heart became more and more suspicious.

Why is the merchant scared to death when he hears the name "Old Joe", is Lao Joe a ghost?

I was taken aback by my childish thoughts, shook my head and smiled bitterly, "If Lao Qiao is a ghost, how can he run to Zhang Mazi's house?" Besides, it is impossible for Azangi not to notice it. ”

After taking a breath, I carried the burden and continued to walk, the road in the mountains was very difficult, the wild grass under my feet flooded the road, so that I was a little lost, I vaguely remembered the way into the mountain, but I walked for a long time but did not find a place, I was a little anxious, quickly put down the burden, took out my mobile phone to contact Lao Qiao.

The mobile phone only has a half-bar signal, I dialed several times in a row and did not get through, I had no choice but to carry the burden back the same way, just walked not far, the phone rang all of a sudden, I took out the mobile phone to see, the signal did not know why it was full again.

"It's weird!" I muttered something in my whisper and brought my phone to my ear.

Lao Qiao's intermittent voice came from the other end of the phone, "Boss Ye, why didn't you get to the afternoon yet, it's getting dark!" ”

I hurriedly said, "This place is so hard to find, I seem to be lost, you can come and pick me up." ”

Old Joe told me not to run around, and said that he was already on the way down the mountain, and that he would come to pick me up immediately.

Don't worry, I muttered to myself, how did Lao Qiao become bold?

As soon as I was smoking a cigarette, I heard someone in the forest shouting at me, so I quickly stood up and shouted, "Old Joe, is it you?" Hearing my shouting, Old Joe hurried out of the woods, fixed his gaze on the burden at my feet, and said with a sneer, "It's so hard for you to buy so many things for me." ”

I didn't feel angry and said, "Then you won't help me choose?" ”

Old Joe walked past me, staring directly at the incense candle in the burden, not glancing at me at all, and said in a muffled voice, "The people on the mountain are in a hurry, come with me." ”

He was familiar with the forest, and walked briskly ahead with his burden.

The distance soon narrowed, and I couldn't keep up with Old Joe's footsteps, panting as I walked, and said, "Old Joe, slow down, wait for me." ”

Old Joe's pace slowed down a lot, but he never stopped, and walked in front of him not far away and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark." ”

I felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Old Joe, are you in the wrong place, it seems that you haven't passed through this forest in the morning." ”

Old Qiao said casually, "I'll take you to copy the shortcut, let's go!" ”

I refused to leave, staring straight at Old Joe's back, and my heart exploded.

People who do farm work all year round will have a certain curvature of the lower back, which is formed by the compression of the bones due to the burden over the years. But Lao Qiao's back was very straight, and the two burdens weighed forty or fifty pounds, and Lao Qiao carried the burden as if he were walking on the ground, and walked faster than me.
