Why is the black cat gone? I muttered in my heart, no wonder these rats are there to do trouble, and they look like they are not afraid of heaven and earth.

As I looked around at the black cats, the rats were more energetic, as if they were eating a gluttonous meal, and after ten minutes they were too addicted to looking at the corpse, its head already gnawed, and the skull was exposed, and only a little blood remained.

The young man sneaked back from the rat swarm, took out the short knife, and directly unloaded the skull from the corpse's body! The corpse in front of me turned into a headless corpse, which frightened my heart.

"What are you doing?" I was puzzled by his cruel behavior, why didn't he leave a whole corpse when everyone died.

He ignored me and said to the third grandmother, "Third sister, send some people to the surrounding ten miles and eight villages to inquire and see if there are any new deaths within a month, I look at the state of this corpse, the skin and flesh are quite plump, this is a man in the prime of life!" Focus on investigating people who fit this trait! ”

"Good! I'll send someone to do it right away! The third grandmother replied very simply.

"In addition, a man and I have to go down the mountain to see if we can find any clues!" The lad pulled me again.

"Why me?" I protest.

"Don't you want to find that woman?"

His words struck me straight away, how could I not want to? If I really let that woman fall into the hands of some hooligan robber, and kill the corpse and disfigure her, I, the person who bears her blood jade, will be very responsible.

When the young man saw that I was speechless, he took off the shroud from the corpse, wrapped the skull in it, and tied it into a wrap with the two sleeves of the shroud.

He shoved the package into my hand, and I was horrified by this cold act!

"What are you doing!" I quickly placed the skull on the ground.

"Take it! Aren't we going to find out the identity of this person? Is the head the best physical evidence? ”

"You mean, let me take it?"

This fresh skull has just been peeled off the flesh, and the black cloth is wet with blood, not to mention holding it, looking at it in a panic, I don't want to provoke this thing.

I quickly shook my head and said, "I won't take it!" ”

"Just the two of us going down the mountain, who are you not going to take? Is it difficult to let the grandfather take it? ”

Grandpa, it's grandpa again, I really don't know where this kid came from.

The third grandmother saw that I was a little resistant, and came to comfort me, "It's nothing, I can't eat after three years of famine, there are always corpses of children who starve to death on the mountain, I went to the commune for a meeting at that time, how many times did I go through the mass grave in the middle of the night, isn't it okay, this person is dead, just a bone, what's the difference with that pig bone and cow bone?" ”

I muttered, "How can I compare to you, you are the one who has carried a detonator and fought the wolves, how old am I!" ”

"Don't say that this matter has anything to do with you, even if it doesn't matter, the third grandmother has to send you."

"Why?"

"Think about who you Liu Yinan is! is the first college student in our village, and you have been a loud figure for decades, you have encountered something, you have ideas, you have opinions, on the day of the water, you can go to the ancestral hall to reason with so many elders, I can see it, you don't run away when you encounter things, you have to take responsibility, so you have to come forward in this matter! ”

"But, I~" "The third grandmother's hat was buttoned a little too high for me, and I didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Seeing that I was still a little hesitant, the third grandmother continued to say to me, "The third grandmother, I am old, and I can't do many things, and I can't even do things like running and bumps, I will lead everyone to guard the water at home, and the rest will be handed over to you!" ”

As she spoke, tears fell from her face, which had been through vicissitudes.

I'm a little sad, in my eyes, the third grandmother has always been a strong man, and she is resolute in doing things, and her name is well-known within ten miles and eight villages! Now she is in tears in front of me, and she is not in the same state at all.

It seems that no matter who it is, no matter how much ability he has when he was young, he will be like the man in the "Half-Life Village", and he will not be able to escape the fetters of the years.

The third grandmother said so, I can't be too ignorant of lifting, I carry this burden on my body, I'm afraid I can't help it!

"And what about this person?" I pointed to the headless male corpse.

"Find a place to bury it!"

"Don't bury it in my grave!" I protested.

"Yes, I know!"

According to the young man's will, several people carried the headless male corpse away, and everyone went down the mountain, leaving me and the young man, and he did not hurry to set off, and shouted for me to fill the grave of the Nanmu coffin together, and sprinkled some grass and wood ashes around it.

After sprinkling the ashes of the plants and trees, he muttered in front of the grave, "Who makes the woman's tassels, who makes Luo Qun's belt, who makes the earrings and gold hairpins, who makes the rouge pollen, who makes the phoenix crown and the xiawei, who is the marriage with it, the yin house is empty and no one enters, don't blame the people who kneel in front of the grave!" ”

This young man's mouth is one set of things, and from time to time some pop up, I feel that my heart itches, I don't know what he means, but I can feel that he can always say different things on different occasions, which makes me stunned.

"Well, what do you say? Can you teach me! ”

"This is called the song of the empty house, specially to comfort the empty grave of the stolen hostess, and I circled it with ashes just to keep her place."

Listening to his words, I actually remembered the seat occupied by self-study in college.

Seeing that he had finished the rituals, I said to him, "When will you go back to the village?" ”

He glanced at me, "What village are you going back to?" ”

"Why don't you go back to the village, I haven't said goodbye to my father and mother yet!"

"Your father and your mother's side, the third grandmother will definitely be able to instruct, the top priority is that we must find the female corpse, this matter cannot be delayed, we have to set off as soon as possible!"

"Go? Where to go? ”

"Over this mountain, there's a place called Rohmon Town, let's take the skull and take a look there, maybe there's some sign of it!"

As soon as he mentioned the town of Lormon, my heart immediately cooled, not for anything else, but for this rugged mountain road.

To say that this Luomen Town, not far from our village, the straight-line distance is that thirty miles, but this road is not easy to walk, between our village and this Luomen Town is separated by a sea wave of more than 1,000 meters of mountains, there is only a road at the foot of the mountain, this mountain road is tortuous and winding, and it takes three days to pass by car.

"Let's go to Luomen Town, then we have to hurry down the mountain and take the car!"

"What are you doing in a car? It's a long distance by car! The young man lit a cigarette and said slowly.

Depend on! I cursed in my heart, as soon as he mentioned Solomon Town, I knew that this kid must not have any good ideas, looking at the posture, he must have let us go on the mountain road.

"Don't!" I hurriedly denied him, "It's not too early, if you go over the mountain, you will definitely spend the night on the mountain, you also said, I have something on my body, it is easy to attract ghosts, what if I encounter some ghosts and ghosts, what should I do?" Even if there are no resentful ghosts, if you hit some "ghost hitting the wall" or something, and enter the maze on the mountain, wouldn't it be more time-delaying! ”

I muttered a lot of reasons, that is, I wanted him to give up the idea of walking the mountain road, since the first day I returned to the village, I almost did not sleep a day, and if I climbed the mountain with him again, I guess I would be tired to death if I was not scared to death!

"Yes, if you don't say it, I really forgot, give you something to avoid evil, lest the ghost find you or something!" The young man snuffed out the cigarette butt and took something out of his pocket.

Sometimes I'm really curious about his little pocket, it doesn't look big, but it looks like there is everything, what grass and wood ash, small beans, bronze mirrors, by the way, and what kind of shock fan plate that specializes in treating ghosts and walls, these things are added together, it is estimated that it is worth a lot of money!

"Alas!" I pointed to his pocket, "How did you save up all these treasures, as if you can't finish them?" ”

"Hmph, these things are not easy to get, some are obtained by their own creation, some are obtained by fate, and some are exchanged for life, in short, each has its own origin, the so-called 'everything in the world has a spirit', what is where it is, what can come in handy, you will never know."

"Well, it makes sense, but in exchange for life, whose life is it?" I glanced at him, "You live here well, it's definitely not your life!" ”

"Humph!" He sneered and gave me a blank look, "How do you know I'm not dead!" ”
