10. Preparation before the hunt
Since I went to the ancient underwater city in Hainan with Yang Xiaoqi once, I have encountered many dangerous things during this time. The basic reflexes are still there.
I nodded quietly, meaning I knew what I knew.
Listening to the old man's words, he regarded me and Yang Xiaoqi as tomb robbers. I was just about to explain, but Yang Xiaoqi interrupted me on the side and asked, "Old man, is there an ancient tomb around here?"
The old man smiled strangely and said, "Isn't the place where you are going is the legendary Tomb of the Immortals?" But after all, some are legends, and I don't know if they're true or not. Didn't you step on your plate when you came? Is it a bulk cargo? ”。
I can probably understand what it means by stepping on the plate, but I don't understand it at all. Glancing at Yang Xiaoqi, he didn't know what the old man was talking about.
However, this old man has a lot of black words, and he is definitely not an ordinary ordinary person.
Yang Xiaoqi handed the old man a cigarette again and said, "Old man, my brothers and I are both new, and I haven't seen anything decent." It's not like I've heard my predecessors say that there is a fat bucket in this neighborhood for a generation, and I inquired all the way to come here. To be honest, we really don't know what's behind this. If you always know a little more, you might as well tell us about it. ”。
The old man smiled and said, "What is not ordinary?" He whipped the cow's ass a few times and said, "I really don't know the Tao behind this." When you get to the place tomorrow, ask the old people in my village, maybe they will know something. ”。
When I heard this, my heart chuckled. What do you mean, tomorrow?
Yang Xiaoqi glanced at me and asked, "Can't you get there today?"
"We are not safe at night, we can't walk at night. You see that it is dark this day, and today I will spend the night at my old man's house, and then we will go to that bar at dawn tomorrow. The old man snuffed out his cigarette and said.
When this old man spoke, Yang Xiaoqi and I were already in love. Damn, this old boy must not have been kind. Eighty percent is a robber, this kind of local people are fierce, and they are very desolate, and after killing us, they threw it into the Yellow River, and they didn't know it.
I was a little worried, and glanced at Yang Xiaoqi to give myself courage.
Yang Xiaoqi's face remained unchanged, and he sneered: "What? Is there still a wolf here at night? ”。
The old man saw that Yang Xiaoqi was a ruthless character, and his face changed. He said: "There are no wolves, but some of us are foxes at night, and some of them have already become sperm, so maybe they will hook people's souls." Let's not touch that mold. ”。
What he said was like chatting fasting, and when I listened to it, there was a cold wind in my heart, and my back was cold.
However, looking at his face, he was a little hesitant, as if Yang Xiaoqi's fierceness just now had a certain deterrent effect on him.
I couldn't help but say in my heart, if the beard and the flying mirror were here, I guess this old man would not be as simple as being shocked.
With Feijing's temper and skills, there is no need to worry about what bad intentions this old man has in his heart.
The ox cart walked very slowly, and no matter how the old man wielded his whip, the old ox just walked slowly with his ass dangling. It soon became dark, and we turned a loess slope and saw a house in the distance.
The house was built alone beside a river, facing north and south, like a monster, waiting for its prey to enter.
The old man said that this was his home, and that we should rest there for the night today.
Yang Xiaoqi asked him if there was anyone else in the family?
"My wife went early. The family is a crazy child and lives by himself. The old man said.
In a few moments, we were already in front of the door of the house. The color of the gate is horrible.
Red. But not the usual iron red, but the terrifying blood red.
The color like blood is bright, as if it was drenched with blood. It looks creepy.
The old man saw me staring at the gate and explained, "This door is covered with black dog blood, which is used to ward off evil spirits." Otherwise, in this wilderness, I am afraid that there will be lonely souls and wild ghosts to disturb me. ”。
Hearing him say this, I struggled to leak a little smile, and my heart was extremely strange.
The moment you enter the gate, a cool breeze blows, and the yard is gloomy and has a special smell. It smells like lime, but I'm not sure.
With four main rooms and three side rooms, there is nothing strange about the architectural style. Strangely, the main house has not been renovated, and even doors and windows have not been installed. The ground is also earthy. The wing room is very well decorated, and even paved with floor tiles.
I took advantage of the old man's kung fu to take a general look around, but I didn't see where the son in his mouth was. It should be locked up somewhere for him.
The old man said that the river behind this was once contracted to breed carp in the Yellow River, and the house was for the fish watchers, and then the boss lost the money and went to the south, and the place was empty, so he found the village chief to give the house over. Father and son stayed here.
The old man cleaned up a house for us and was busy making a fire and cooking. But just in case, Yang Xiaoqi and I just ate the canned beef we brought.
There was no electricity in the house, so the old man gave us a candle and went back to his house.
From beginning to end, we don't see where the crazy son of his mouth is.
After the old man left, Yang Xiaoqi closed the door, made sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, and said to me, "Something is wrong." The old man seems to have eaten us. ”。
I said don't talk about this yet, do you think there is a strange smell wafting in this yard?
He nodded and said it was supposed to be the taste of lime powder.
"But there's no lime in the whole yard? Will it be inside the house? I asked.
Yang Xiaoqi waved his hand and said that this is not the point, "Let's think about it, how this old man will deal with us" His voice was very soft.
I'm also thinking about this matter, we are both big and small, and we definitely can't beat us, what I'm afraid of is what kind of conspiracy that person uses.
Neither of us spoke, pondering what was to come.
It was completely dark, and Yang Xiaoqi took out the candle given by the old man and was about to light it, when he suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He looked at me excitedly and whispered, "I've solved a case before. The killers were seven people and the victims were four girls. These seven people colluded to give the four girls ** under the guise of a birthday. And the ingredient is in the candle of the birthday cake. As soon as the candle burns, the medicinal properties will evaporate, and the seven men will go out under the pretext of lighting the candle, and only after the girls are fascinated will they come in and want to do evil. ”,
Although he said it extremely simply, the meaning was already obvious.
"You're worried that there is a ** in this candle?" I asked him.
Yang Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I'm not sure, but you see this candle is very strange, there are some black powders inside." Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years, or not to light it".
"So what's next? It's better for the two of us to go over and turn the old man over now," I said.
Yang Xiaoqi waved his hand and said, "Wait a while, you take out the gas mask." Let's come and see what tricks the old man is hiding. ”。
