Chapter 388: June 6, Worm King's Day

Li Huaishan stretched out his hand to pull up the gnats and mines, frowned and asked me, "What should I do now, wait for the other party to come to the door?" ”

I crossed my fingers, supported my chin with the back of my hand, and responded to Li Huaishan while thinking slowly: "They will definitely come to us, but I can't guess the timing." ”

Li Huaishan sighed helplessly: "It's too passive." ”

That's right, it's really too passive, but the other side is hiding too deeply, how can we turn the situation around?

I frowned, and carefully thought about the strategies recorded in the soldiers' books, but to no avail, now we have no idea the details of the enemy, and there is no way to deal with them.

Then Landmine came up to me with a bottle of water, sat down slowly, and I looked at him, and then at the grasshopper.

Both of them seemed to have figured something out, and they were not as nervous as before, but there was still worry and a hint of despair between their eyebrows.

I patted the mine and asked him, "How did you and Mia, and Little September, meet?" ”

Mine swallowed half a bottle of water, held his head high and pondered for a while before speaking: "The two of them, probably ...... Half a year ago, I registered an account on my website, and I usually act very actively, and I follow them from time to time. Later, someone posted a post about a deserted village, and the two of them went to fight fakes, saying that the content in the post was all deceptive, and they quarreled with a few old users on the Internet, so I helped the two of them say a fair word in the forum, and then ...... They joined the group, and I gradually got to know them, and I even sent selfies to each other before. ”

I then asked him, "In your group, do people often talk about deserted villages?" ”

Landmine shook his head: "Few people talk about it, only mosquitoes and the fat sea mention it from time to time." I remember, a few times, the mosquitoes also talked about the green skin in the group. ”

"What did he say?"

At that time, the mosquito didn't seem to know that Qingpizi was crazy, but said that Qingpizi once led a team into a deserted village. Oh, by the way, before the old cat came to the deserted village, he didn't want to make a noise, he originally wanted to come alone, but the mosquito proposed in the group before the old cat left, saying that he wanted to form a team to explore the deserted village. was tossed by him like this, and the old cat had no choice but to form such a team. ”

"When did this happen?"

"I forgot, it's been a while now, anyway."

"How did you and Fat Dahai meet?"

"We don't know him, it's a swarm of mosquitoes pulling him into. This guy is not very popular in the group, he is a topic terminator, every time Fat Dahai speaks, everyone is collectively silent, because he always talks about tomb robbing, and everyone in the group thinks that he may be a seller of cultural relics. However, Fat Dahai has a benefit, he often sends red envelopes in the group, and he sends a lot of money every time, and since he came, the people in the group have been more diligent. ”

Gnats interjected: "It's because there are more people online, there are more topics in the group, and there are more fights." ”

Mine nodded: "It's true, although the group is more active than before, but there are often people fighting, and the old cat and I have to come out to be peacemakers, not to mention more headaches." ”

I asked Landmines: "Don't you and the old cat go online often?" ”

Landmine said: "Our group is usually similar to the ghost group, everyone has their own work to do, how can we have so much time to chat in the group." If it weren't for the fact that the mines always give out red envelopes, there would be no more than 200 chat records in a week. ”

The grasshopper got to the point: "If it weren't for the fact that they came to the group to settle the matter, the mines and the old cat probably wouldn't know that the mosquitoes planned to form a team to enter the deserted village. ”

I leaned against the wall of the ancestral hall, lit a cigarette, and fell silent.

Mia and Xiao Jiu are skilled but not proficient, and there is no residual telekinesis on their bodies, so it is easy to blend into the crowd.

Fat Dahai has no skills and no Taoism, he is just a descendant of the head of the southern Hunan region, as for how much inheritance of his ancestors, no one can say clearly, but looking at his previous performance, I am afraid that he has inherited it, and he is also a half-ass.

As for Mosquito, from the moment I saw this guy, he seemed to think of himself as a bystander, he didn't talk much, he didn't behave out of the ordinary, and to be honest, I didn't know what was going on in his mind from beginning to end.

Also, the words that the man said before he died seemed to be a bit of a mosquito, he said, they killed the old cat, and then there was a silence. Killed the old cat, what about the mosquitoes, didn't they kill the mosquitoes?

If you rearrange the context of the whole thing, you will find that the water is very deep.

First, someone posted a post related to the deserted village in the forum, and then Mia and Xiao September got into a fight with people in the post, and used this to get acquainted with the mines, and also joined the group.

Then there's the Fat Sea and the Mines, one of which is responsible for attracting the old cats and the mines to show up in the group, and the other who initiates a proposal to explore the deserted village.

These four people seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they cooperate just right, if there is no fat sea and mines, the old cat is unlikely to know, in addition to him, there is another group of people who want to enter the deserted village to explore the secrets, and it is unlikely to organize such a team.

I guess the mine didn't tell all the truth, I guess the old cat didn't plan to organize such a team at first, but at this time, Mia and Little September played a role, they must have agreed with the mosquito's proposal, and threatened to go into the mountains with the team, the mine saw the uprising, and also wanted to follow the team, the old cat was to take care of the mine, so he became the guide of this trip.

Among all of them, the grasshopper is probably the most innocent one, and the reason why he came was probably only because he had a good relationship with the old cat, and he heard that the old cat was going to lead the team, so he came regardless of it.

In other words, when the grasshoppers came to the deserted village, they were completely outside the calculations of the other party, and their target was the old cat and the landmine.

I don't know how the other party got in touch with Fat Dahai, but I think that since the other party wants to pull Fat Dahai, a descendant of a thief who is not very capable, into the game, it means that they are also from the big tomb under the deserted village.

In addition, the southern Hunan bandits often operated in the area of Chongqing and Shu forty years ago, although Fat Dahai did not inherit the craft, he may know how to find the tomb.

Thinking of this, many things become clear, but there is one more thing I don't understand, why did the other party choose two ordinary people, the mine and the old cat?

I threw a cigarette butt and asked the mine: "Where is your ancestral home and when was you born?" ”

Mine looked at me with some confusion: "Why are you asking this?" ”

I heard the grasshopper say, "What are you doing in charge of other people, Dafei will not harm you." ”

Landmine scratched his scalp and said: "Our ancestors have lived in Hebei for several generations, and I was born on the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and I belong to the snake. ”

I said, "What about the old cat?" ”

Landmine: "He grew up in southern Fujian, but his ancestral home is also in Hebei, and he and I met at a fellow villagers' meeting. Old cat he ...... One round older than me, also a snake, the two of us...... Birthdays are the same. ”

When he said the last half of the sentence, the mine seemed to think of something, and his tone became slurred.

I asked, "What ethnicity are you, Manchu or Han?" ”

Landmines: "Manchu." ”

"Old cats too?"

"It should be."

On the sixth day of June in the lunar calendar, the Manchu Worm King Festival.

There is a record in the ancient books of the family, according to the old Manchurian calendar, do not cut down trees, do not burn corpses, do not go to the grave in June, the sixth day of the first month of June, is the festival of the insect king, on the day of the festival, each family sends a person to worship in the insect king temple, kill pigs and sheep, worship the insect king, pray for the next year that the world will be free of insect disasters, and ensure a bumper harvest of grains.

There is also a saying that on the day of the Worm King's Day, pigs and cattle can be killed, and human life is not moving, to put it simply, this day can not be killed, and people born on this day are very few can be blessed by the great compassion of the Yang world, get the heaven-given talisman, and have a smooth life.

I can't tell you for the time being, whether there is a necessary connection between the other party's choice of the old cat and the mine as the target and the Worm King Festival, but the old cat and the mine were indeed born on the same day in different years and months, and there must be a reason for choosing them as the target.

The mines seemed to get nervous again, and I came with me, trembling and asking, "What do you mean by asking this?" I was born on the same day as the old cat, and he died, so I ...... Then I'm ......"

I twisted a smile on my face: "Don't think too much, the old cat is the old cat, you are you." ”

The mine was still a little panicked, and the grasshopper patted him behind him: "Don't be nervous, the mine, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to have an accident." ”

Hearing this, the mine calmed down a little, and shrunk back to sit back.

Li Huaishan probably also thought of something, and turned around and asked me: "You say, Mia and Xiao Jiu won't they also come to the tomb, right?" ”

I nodded, "Quite possibly, but I guess they haven't found the location of the tomb yet." ”

As I spoke, I pointed to the man who died on the edge of the cliff: "This guy is wearing a winter suit, I guess they should have been to the bottom of the cliff and went into the water to find the entrance to the tomb." There are also tunnels at the entrance of the village, which may have been left behind when the tomb was found. ”

Li Huaishan: "I suddenly remembered, before we entered the mountain, didn't we see a car in Tangjiazhuang, you say, the person in the car, could it be Mia and their accomplices?" ”

I thought about it and shook my head: "It's hard to say now, but the man just said that there are five of them." Mia, Little September, as well as Mosquito and Fat Dahai, all followed us into the mountain, and if the four people in the car were also their accomplices, then there were at least ten of them. ”

Li Huaishan pulled his fingers and calculated, looked up and asked me: "You are not right, five plus four, it is nine people, where did the other one come from?" ”

I said, "The five people in the man's mouth should not include Fat Dahai, he is talking about people who were still alive at that time." ”

As I spoke, I stood up from the ground as I propped up the wall.

The gnats then stood up and asked me, "Mosquitoes are also their people?" ”

"Definitely, this guy should still be alive."

After a simple response, I took a step forward and walked quickly in the direction of the compound.
