Uncle Zhang turned his face and knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the ground before standing up.

Look at his wrinkled face, his hair is almost completely white, he is not eighty, he should be seventy years old.

However, his body is still quite solid, and there is no trace of Long Zhong's posture between his actions.

"Officer Meng is here?" Uncle Zhang said, his expression was gloomy and quite cold.

Meng Xiang had already seen Uncle Zhang's coldness, and now he could understand why Uncle Zhang was like this.

So Meng Xiang didn't care, turned his eyes to the new tomb, and couldn't help but redden.

"This ...... Is it your granddaughter's grave? Why didn't the inscription be written? ”

She originally had nothing to say, but Uncle Zhang may have seen her look sad, although her face was still gloomy, and when she spoke, she was slightly softer than before.

"I can't read, so I can only leave it empty!"

This is extremely bleak to say.

Meng Xiang and I felt more and more compassion in our hearts, and Meng Xiang hurriedly said: "I'll go down and find some pen and ink later, and write it for Uncle Zhang." ”

Uncle Zhang looked at Meng Xiang and then at me, and suddenly a few unexpected words came out.

"Since Officer Meng is willing to help with this, please go down now! In my room, in the corner by the head of the bed, there was a brush and ink, which my granddaughter used to read and write. Officer Meng, please rest assured, let the black dog accompany you, and nothing bad will happen now. ”

Meng Xiang was slightly stunned, and then understood that Uncle Zhang probably wanted to talk to me about something alone.

I can actually understand this meaning, and I can't object, I can only look at Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "That's okay, then I'll go down now!" ”

As he spoke, beckoning the black dog to leave, he saw that I was looking at her uneasily, and then reached out and patted his waist.

I knew she was telling me she had a pistol, so I nodded to her.

Seeing Meng Xiang leading the black dog into the woods below, I turned my face and was about to talk to Uncle Zhang, but Uncle Zhang actually "fluttered" and knelt in front of me.

"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing here?" I hurriedly reached out to help him.

"The old man is guilty! I've been scaring Comrade Gao these days, but I didn't expect Comrade Gao to be willing to help my granddaughter avenge her grievances! ”

When he said the last sentence, he suddenly burst into tears and cried loudly.

I hurriedly helped him sit down, and Uncle Zhang cried and nagged non-stop.

"I hate it so much, I really shouldn't have gone out that day! As a result, a few beasts have harmed my granddaughter so miserably! I'm just such a granddaughter, if it weren't for her, what would I be doing alive? But I didn't expect that I was finally raised, but I ended up like this! ”

I think about his tragic experience, and I can't help but weep with him.

However, Uncle Zhang quickly reluctantly held back, and while crying, he turned around, picked up an iron box from the ground and handed it to me.

"My granddaughter gave me a dream last night, asking me to give this to you and take her out of the mountain, so that she can personally seek revenge on those beasts!"

I was holding the tin box and felt very heavy.

The surface of the tin box is rusty, and it is obviously many years old.

There is a lock on the tin box, and a small copper lock hangs from it.

I immediately guessed what was inside, but I still asked Uncle Zhang, "What's in here?" ”

"You don't care what it is!" Uncle Zhang shook his head, "In short, you must never open it, otherwise, you will definitely die!" ”

This reassured me even more that I was right.

So I suddenly asked, "Uncle Zhang used this to make a few travelers who came to stay either commit suicide or kill people in their sleep, right?" ”

With an "ah", Uncle Zhang, an old man who was dozens of years old, actually jumped up in shock, as if he had been bitten by something.

I saw that he was frightened and panicked, and I couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Zhang Xiaoyun died a very tragic death, but not all travelers are bad guys, isn't it too cruel for Uncle Zhang to kill so many people in one anger?"

"Am I cruel?" Uncle Zhang called out suddenly, "Those people, one by one, coaxed my granddaughter with sweet words, but as soon as they left, there was no news, if you want me to say, they are all bad guys, all of them deserve to die!" ”

I sighed slightly, and did not argue.

When Uncle Zhang's mood stabilized a little, I asked a question that was coiled in my heart.

"I don't know where Uncle Zhang got this thing?"

"How do I know where I got it from?" Uncle Zhang was very angry, "It turned out that my son-in-law didn't know where he got it, he looked beautiful, and he pressed it on the head of the bed, but the result was ...... It's this thing that caused my son-in-law to fall into evil, first killed my daughter, and then killed my wife, if I hadn't cut him ruthlessly, even my granddaughter wouldn't have been able to keep it! Who knows, after all, I won't be able to keep my granddaughter! ”

Uncle Zhang couldn't hold back his whimper.

I silently accompanied him, and when he was in a little calmer, and before I could speak, he suddenly rolled his eyes.

"Why do you ask so much? If you don't want to help my granddaughter avenge it, then return it to me, I can't afford to walk on my own, and I have to find those beasts!" ”

He reached out and was about to grab the tin box in my hand, and I hurriedly took a step back.

"Uncle, don't worry, since I promised Zhang Xiaoyun, I will definitely help her avenge her grievances! She showed me what happened to her, and I also felt that those beasts were innocent! The reason why I ask so much is just to find out what kind of harm this thing will bring! ”

Uncle Zhang was relieved at this time, and his cloudy old eyes stared at me for a while before he spoke again.

"As long as you put it in this tin box and don't take it out, it won't hurt anyone! On the contrary, it will keep you from getting sick all year round, and no poisonous insects and beasts will dare to approach you! ”

I was amazed, seeing that Uncle Zhang was in good spirits, but I couldn't help but believe him.

"This thing was put away by your granddaughter in a dream, right?" I asked tentatively.

"Yes!" Uncle Zhang nodded, turned his face to look at his granddaughter's grave, "She has a good heart, all the harmful things are my own ideas." Until that day, she suddenly gave me a dream, saying that she had found someone to avenge her, and told me not to hurt anyone anymore. But she didn't tell me that you were the one who promised to help her get revenge, so when you came yesterday, I used poisonous snakes and centipedes to scare you, so that you would not come here to investigate in the future. ”

I was blown away by this!

I can understand why Zhang Xiaoyun didn't tell her grandfather that I was the one who promised to help her avenge her grievances. Probably she has been deceived too much and does not dare to trust my promise 100 percent.

- That's probably why she threatened me that if I didn't keep my word, she would find me at the end of the world.

But what surprised me was that Uncle Zhang was just a mortal, how could he have the ability to drive poisonous snakes? Drive those two creepy big centipedes?

"Uncle Zhang means that the poisonous snake and centipede last night were instructed by Uncle Zhang? This, this, this...... How can it be? ”

I stammered and blurted out a question, looking at Uncle Zhang in great surprise.

Uncle Zhang didn't have any expression on his face, and said, "There is no instruction or instruction, I just put the poisonous snake and centipede in the room of the two of you in advance." The two centipedes, which were originally hiding under the bed, were driven out by the black dog. A centipede like that, you think it's scary, and we people in the mountains see a lot of it. ”

It is not uncommon for Uncle Zhang to put centipedes and poisonous snakes in the room between me and Meng Xiang in advance, after all, I have already discovered the secret of that window.

And last night, after the centipede viper left, I did find that the door to the room where he lived was not locked, and the iron lock was gone.

Coupled with the fact that the kitchen door at the back was latched from the outside, he could have exited the kitchen after all these things.

But the question is -
