Chapter 30: The Sixth

Da Lei filled in the last handful of sand, stood up and stepped on the ground twice with his feet, feeling almost, he turned back to Xiao Hai, who was already peeing his pants on the ground, and said, "Let's go, while it's still dawn." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Xiao Hai still stared at Da Lei's feet as if he had lost his soul, and there was a human head buried in the deep sand underground.

"Brother, this.... It's..."

"Don't ask, I don't know, hurry back!" Da Lei pulled Xiao Hai up and held his hand, only to find that the child was trembling terribly.

Along the way, Da Lei also had many doubts in his heart.

First: The last time I saw the fifth master was in the tomb, the fifth master was dead at that time and was hung up by a rope. Who cut off his head? He also cut out his tongue.

Second: How did this end end up at the bottom of the well? It also appeared in the bucket for himself and Xiaohai.

Third: Could it be the man in black in the pool inside the stone statue? Who is that man? Could it be that he has been paying attention to himself?

Fourth: If it wasn't the man in black, who would it be?

The only thing Da Lei can be sure of now is that this head was just cut off by the murderer.

There is magic in the tomb to keep the corpse from decaying and the face from aging, if the murderer had cut it off in the morning, it would have rotted into ashes after four years.

But who is this man?

The two of them buried the fifth master's head at the gate of the village, because few people went to that place.

After entering the house, the two of them didn't feel sleepy at all, and after thinking about it, Da Lei still didn't tell Xiaohai that he knew the fifth master, this kid was timid, and he was afraid that he would think about it more.

Who knew that as soon as he lay down, Xiao Hai suddenly said: "I once dreamed of that dead man's head." ”

Da Lei sat up with a spirit: "What? ”

Xiao Hai looked up with blank eyes and said: "I once dreamed of him, the dream is very old, I am a shipwrecked businessman, I was hurried with a bag, came to a barren mountain, everywhere is foggy, I can't see the road at all." I heard a voice say, 'Go, go, burn the contents of your bag!' I looked around and there was no one at all, but the voice continued. I thought to myself, it's all trees, what if I set things on fire. I still want to go down the mountain and burn again. As a result, three people rushed out halfway, and they wanted to grab my bag, but I wouldn't let me. ”

Da Lei swallowed his saliva, the fifth master had told him that the reason why he came to Lop Nur was because they robbed a shipwrecked merchant's package, which contained a treasure road map......

Could it be ...... Da Lei's heart was about to raise his throat.

Sure enough, Xiao Hai continued: "I knelt down for them on the spot, and gave them a piece of jade pendant that I carried with me, I don't know why, in my dream, I just felt that even if I died, I would burn the contents of this bag, and I must not be snatched away by them." But in the end, they succeeded. In my panic, I was pushed off a cliff by one of them, and then I woke up. ”

"The head that was salvaged tonight..... Isn't it the person who pushed you in your dream? ”

"Hmm." Xiao Hai nodded.

Da Lei gasped, but he still didn't give up: "How can you remember the things in the dream so clearly, and you don't know him, wouldn't it be too arbitrary to determine that this dead person appeared in your dream just by a dream." ”

Xiao Hai shook his head: "Brother, do you remember that night in the tent, you beat me up because of the secret chocolate?" I was still sleeping. ”

Da Lei nodded.

"I was having this dream at that time, and soon after I woke up, I heard the ghost crying wolf's song, and then all the terrible things happened one after another, and I kept wondering if I had burned the contents of the bag in the dream, would there be no such things. Moreover, the other two faces of the three people in the dream are blurred, only the face of the dead man's head is particularly clear. And most importantly......"

"What is it?"

"It was the moment I fell off the cliff that he said to me, 'Help me'..."

After listening, Da Lei only felt that the hairs on his body stood up.

Xiao Hai sighed: "It's because of this that I'm particularly impressed." How many times have I thought about this person, this dream, but I still don't understand who wants to convey what to us. After so many years, I thought that everything was calm, and I even felt that as long as I could survive, I would not be afraid to stay here for the rest of my life. But I didn't expect those weird things to start again. ”

"Ice comes to the dirt stall, and it will flood in the future. I'm afraid 'they' won't come!" What's so good about being like a living dead in this life. Besides, is the village too peaceful? You don't say that the people here can't believe it too much. ”

Xiao Hai didn't answer, Da Lei's last sentence was reasonable, and he himself understood, but he felt that the two of them were being played around in a circle like a spinning top, and how many times their lives were about to die, after so many years, they still had no clue about these things, and they always didn't feel good in their hearts.

Da Lei lay down for a while, watching the sky outside the window gradually brighten, and he felt sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as his eyes were closed.

When he woke up, it was already evening, and when he opened his eyes from this angle, the light outside was quite soft, and the faint yellow color made the desert look a lot warmer.

Xiaohai didn't know where he had gone, the house was empty, and Da Lei only felt dry when he got up. He scratched his head and walked to the water tank, and when he looked at it, his mood suddenly fell, saying that it was a water tank, but it was actually as high as his knees, and the water tank was empty. Xiaohai tripped last night, the bucket fell to the ground, and the water was empty. Even if you don't have time, no one can drink it if you have a human head soaked in it.

But at the end of the day, the water at the bottom of the well is also contaminated.

I can't stop drinking, I have to stick to it for ten days. He swallowed, his throat sticky and dry.

After thinking about it, Da Lei hugged the water tank and cheekily knocked on the door of Lao Liu's house.

"Who?"

"I, Da Lei."

"Wait a minute."

After a long time, the sixth child opened the door, but he only opened a small crack, and asked with half of his head exposed, "What's wrong?" ”

Da Lei noticed that the sixth child's head was sweaty, and his tone was a little unnatural, as if he was very dissatisfied with Da Lei knocking on the door at this time.

"I accidentally spilled the water in that house, that... Do you have a lot, can you give me a little bit? After saying that, Da Lei blushed himself, water in this desert is life, and he was somewhat ashamed to ask others if they were going to die.

Surprisingly, the sixth child agreed quickly without hesitation at all.

"Okay, you wait for me."

The sixth took the water tank in Da Lei's hand, the water tank was very small, and it was not difficult to lift it, Da Lei noticed that during this period, the sixth child had been closing the door, and seemed to be trying his best to hide the contents of the house. Although Da Lei was curious, he still retreated with interest.

In a few moments the door opened.

Knocked out of the way, to be exact.

Da Lei just wanted to ask why he was so fast, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a thin figure running out in a flicker, it was Ganu.

Ganu ran as fast as he could, and the sand kicked up a puff of soot from the soles of his feet, and in a few moments it turned into a black dot and finally disappeared.

The sixth man came out of the house in a panic, still carrying a small half-jar of water in his hand. Lao Liu moved his mouth, looked at the direction where Ganu ran and finally didn't say anything, turned his head to look at Da Lei and smiled a little unnaturally: "You and Xiaohai are two people, the demand for water must be greater than mine." Take it. ”

Da Lei thanked him, thought about it, and said: "Xiaohai doesn't know where to play, I'm bored to stay alone, why don't you go to my place and sit down and let's talk?" ”

The sixth child was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay." ”

The two of them came to Da Lei's house, Da Lei put the water tank in the corner, scooped up a scoop and raised his head to drink it, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, he turned his head and sat on the side of the sixth child, and said: "This is really fortunate to have you, otherwise I really don't know what to do, I have to die of thirst." ”

"It's all brothers, polite."

"You're sweating on your forehead. It's hot? Da Lei's eyes noticed the sixth child's body again: "There is still so much sand." ”

"Ahh Hey, hey.." The sixth man stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with a dry smile: "No, I just played with Canu." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he himself felt that something was wrong, and when he saw Da Lei's more suspicious face, he sighed and said: "This kid Canu turned out to be just playful, and he always ran outside, which made the people in the village worried. But now he's stealing! ”

"Huh? What did he steal from you? ”

"I'm a little toy with me, it's worthless, it's just a thought."

"Do you want to tell the patriarch?"

"I thought so at first, but then I felt that although I have lived here for more than ten years, I am still an outsider after all, and if he doesn't believe it, I think I'm sowing discord!"

"So that's it?"

"Then what else can I do, I just taught that cub a few lessons in the house, and I think I'm already angry, and I don't want anything anymore."

Da Lei wanted to ask something more, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Hai walking in, his mouth was stuffed with rice and rice, and when he saw the sixth child, he nodded and smiled, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Okay, I'll leave first when Haizi comes back." After speaking, the sixth child got up and patted the dirt on his clothes and walked out the door.

Da Lei didn't stop him, and after the sixth child left, he asked Xiaohai: "Where have you been?" ”

"He returned the barrel to Khan Meng and walked around. That's right, brother! Xiao Hai's eyes became excited, he took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Da Lei: "Look, how beautiful this bottle is!" ”

Da Lei took it, and he only felt his scalp tingle. This.... Isn't this the fifth master's medicine bottle?! In the tomb, the fifth master once gave him medicine, and it was this medicine bottle that he took out! It's all Manbai!

Da Lei opened the bottle and got closer, and sure enough, the manbai inside was a little dry......

Xiao Hai didn't notice Da Lei's abnormality at all, and was still chattering: "Look at how beautiful the pattern on this bottle is, it doesn't look like the knife that the sixth child gave us at the beginning?" The same is true of the pattern engraved on the hilt! ”

No wonder!!!!

When Da Lei saw this bottle for the first time, he felt that the pattern on the bottle seemed to have been seen somewhere..... So that's it......

He doesn't remember where the knife was left, it seems to be still in the grave...

"Where did you pick up this bottle?"

"I didn't pick it up, I met Ganu on the way, he gave it to me."

Really......

The fifth master, the sixth master...

Why didn't he think of such a similar name earlier?!

......

"I am a native of Luoyang, I have no father and no mother since I was a child, at that time the world was chaotic, there were wars everywhere, I didn't have to ask for food, and I was young and ignorant, so I followed others as little bandits, and I didn't have a meal. Later, I heard that robbing tombs made money, but although there were many tombs in Luoyang, there were gangs and land control. For small characters like us, we don't dare to go to the big tomb, and there is nothing to fish for the small tomb, so we follow the head to Xinjiang. I heard that there is a place called Loulan, almost no one has ever picked it, and at that time, I was bent on making a fortune, and I didn't care about the consequences at all, and it was a big deal. As a result, life is better than death along the way, a group of eight people, only one of me lived, and since then I have been in this village and have never gone out again. ”

"In the end, Lao Tzu shook his hand and let go of the sour anger of the scholar and became a bandit with others."

"Eight Rangzi is the youngest of us."

The words of the fifth master and the sixth child swirled in Da Lei's mind, like a time bomb, I don't know when, it will blow up the melon seeds in the head.
