The old lady took us to the room, it was an old-fashioned adobe house, it should have been many years old, and the adobe on the wall had appeared like cobwebs, falling piece by piece, mottled, precipitating time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The furnishings in the house are also very simple, but fortunately, it is clean, and there is no smell of mildew and dust, it should be because of frequent ventilation, it is not easy to have a place to live in such a deep mountain, and Xiao Zhang and I dare not ask for more.

The old lady also asked us if we had eaten, saying that we were going to make some game, noodle soup or something to fill our stomachs, as the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains and the water is draught, here is backed by the mountains, and there are streams around, the hares on the mountains, the fish in the water, is not everything?

Thinking of this, the gluttonous worms in my stomach were hooked, and Xiao Zhang almost drooled, but thinking of Liu Jiabing's warning before, we still shook our heads, and said with a smile that we had eaten enough on the way here.

Another greeting, the old lady let us have a good rest, and was about to leave with a group of women, when suddenly we heard a loud noise, the whole ground shook, and a pile of broken soil fell from the roof, pouring me and Zhang Sanfeng.

I was blindfolded directly, subconsciously covered my ears, and said what's going on, is there an earthquake, but this is not an earthquake zone?

"Don't be afraid," the old lady smiled kindly as she looked at our embarrassed appearance, "this is the turning of the mountain god, which happens every once in a while." ”

"Uh-huh," we smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.

"What kind of mountain god turned over," after the old lady left, Xiao Zhang threw his backpack onto the wooden bed, "Such a big movement, it is obvious that someone is blowing up the mountain with gunpowder." ”

"There is indeed a big tomb around here," I nodded, and those who blew up the mountain with gunpowder were either quarrying to build roads or digging graves and robbing tombs, and this barren and populated person must be the latter.

"What, why don't we touch it and take a look?" Zhang Sanfeng began to play tricks again.

"I won't go to kill me this time," I shook my head desperately, "You followed Lao Zhao to Python River, why did it swell like this, isn't it good to live?" ”

After all, this is reality, not a novel, there is no aura of the protagonist who is always in calamity, and even if it is a novel, the protagonist can only be the powerful one like Lao Zhao, or Xiao Zhang has a high appearance, I have no appearance and no strength, and I have no sense of existence at all.

"Tut-tut," Xiao Zhang patted me on the shoulder, with a teasing expression on his face, which made me feel the urge to punch him, "Look at what scares you, I just said casually, is Zhang Ye such an unreliable person?" ”

"You ......" I was about to speak, when I saw Zhang Sanfeng's face suddenly change, I hurriedly turned around, and saw a little girl standing at the door.

This little girl was seven or eight years old, with two small buns on her head, and she looked very cute, but she stood here like this, without making a sound at all, staring at me with a pair of black eyes, and I felt a little hairy in my heart.

I had my back to the door, maybe it was because of my majestic body, Xiao Zhang didn't see her just now, I don't know when she came in, and I don't know if she heard the conversation we just had, and whether she would learn it from adults.

The little girl looked at me, and I stared at her, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

But the awkwardness did not last long, and the little girl said, "My grandmother told you not to go out at night, no matter what you hear or see." ”

I chuckled in my heart, Liu Jiabing said, don't look at this place so deserted, it will be lively at night, let us act at the opportunity, and now this little girl said so, it can be seen that something must happen at night.

After a struggle in my heart, I was about to ask for clarification, the little girl had already jumped and ran away, and I was about to chase after her, but Xiao Zhang grabbed her arm, and he shook his head at me with a serious expression and closed the door.

I took the bag that Xiao Zhang threw on the bed, took out the kettle, filled the water tank with a full pot, and poured it violently, drinking until I hiccuped, I was so thirsty that my throat was about to smoke for half a day, and I couldn't stop drinking.

"There's a problem in this village," I said to Xiao Zhang as I sat down on the edge of my bed after drinking water, sorting out the contents of my bag.

"What's the problem?" Xiao Zhang said as he shoved a dagger into his arms.

"I can't count what it is, but I think it's very wrong, for example......" I thought about it, "Hey, did you notice, we didn't even see a shadow of a man from the beginning, and this village seems to be all women." ”

"It seems that you really say that," Xiao Zhang patted his thigh, "Could it be that this is the legendary Daughter Country Widow's Village?" ”

"When I didn't say it," I said with a wry smile, knowing that this guy can't spit ivory out of his mouth.

In addition to this, I do have a strange premonition, I can't tell whether it is good or bad, I have read in books, where in the human body the most prone to infection and ulceration is the limb endings, because it is far from the heart, and the blood circulation is poor.

The same is true of this world, the farther away from civilization, the worse it tends to become, and the places hidden in the deep mountains and old forests are often not paradises.

"Hey, Xiao Li," Xiao Zhang thought of something, and suddenly came over, the bed was long and short legs, and it shook when he sitted, and he squeaked when he moved, as if it was going to collapse at any time.

"That guy surnamed Liu didn't dare to come over, how did he know that something was going to happen at night," Xiao Zhang asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the same thing happens here every night, so do you think that the people in this village are like the two of them, and they will ...... at night?"

"I hope not," I shuddered, unscrewed half a bottle of soju, and took a sip before I regained my composure and continued to tidy up.

"Fatty, look what this thing is," Xiao Zhang pulled out a small piece of something from the compartment of his backpack, and after fiddling with it for a long time, he didn't figure it out, so he brought it to me and asked me.

I looked at it, this thing is crystal clear and white, and there is a layer of pulp on the outside, like jade and other things, but it feels more like bones, and when I put it in front of my nose and smell it, there is a faint fragrance.

"It's rhino horn, and these two guys have a lot of background," I said.

The ancients said: The rhino horn does not dare to burn, it burns with a strange fragrance, stains the clothes and belts, and people can communicate with ghosts.

It's just that this rhino horn is not an ordinary rhinoceros horn, the ancient books record that there is a rhinoceros named Tongtian rhinoceros, with a white elephant thread running through the head and tail, which is regarded as a kind of supernatural thing, so it is called a spiritual rhino, and the horn of the rhino is made of incense, and it can be burned according to the ghosts and gods.

This rhino horn incense can be said to be rare in the world, ordinary tomb robbers have never even heard of it, and I have only seen it in Lao Zhao's shop, these two guys are the size of a thumb, which is not simple.

"If you have a future, don't you still plant it here," Xiao Zhang shrugged, "I can't survive, I can't die." ”

I stopped talking, bowed my head and silently put away the rhino horn incense.

After tidying up things, I felt a little sleepy and wanted to lie on the bed and squint for a while, Xiao Zhang was very energetic, I asked him to help me keep an eye on it, and immediately called me up at the slightest disturbance.

I lay on the bed, recalling what happened in the middle of the day, thinking about it, so I went to play chess with Zhou Gong and his old man.

I was sleeping soundly, Xiao Zhang suddenly woke me up, I got up, and just wanted to ask him what was going on, I was covered with a handful of mouths.

"Look out the window," Zhang whispered in my ear.

The windows of this room are made of paper, and all I can see is a red patch outside, but I'm sure it's the fire.

Could it be that there is a fire in the village?

As soon as this idea jumped out, I was overturned by myself, Xiao Zhang let go of me, and the two of us tiptoed to the window, poked a hole in the window paper with our hands, and looked out.

I saw an extremely strange scene.
