Chapter 9: Back from the Dead

At that time, not long after the reform and opening up, although the land was divided into households for a few years, the gap between the rich and the poor among the peasants in the villages gradually widened. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info those who have a way to run transportation and do business, and a small building was built within a few years. If you don't have the capital to do business, you go out to work, and if you can't go out, you stay at home and do farm work, which is enough to eat and drink for a year.

Uncle Tie was a tyrant in the village when he was young, and he didn't do his job on weekdays, and took Yi Haotian and Tie Zhengye to wander around the village all day long. The fields he was given to were overgrown with weeds all year round and became a cattle herd in the village. In the past, when he was in the commune, he could still get some food every month. Now that each family is in his own hands, who else will give it to him? At first, everyone lent him back for the sake of the same village, but then saw that the food lent to him was gone, and no one borrowed it anymore. Uncle Tie really had no choice but to do it, so he began to do petty theft. Although others are lazy, their brains are not stupid. Every time, he went to other villages to do it, so although many people in the village suspected that he was doing this thing, as long as he didn't steal from his fellow villagers, everyone would turn a blind eye.

This year, seeing that the New Year is approaching, people from all villages and villages who go out to do business and work are carrying bags of New Year's goods back for the festival. Uncle Tie has long been itching to see all this. After asking around, he finally chose a family in a nearby village to start. That night, he called Yi Haotian and Tie Zhengye, and in the evening, the three of them slaughtered the chickens stolen from the neighbor's house, cooked them, and ate them to their heart's content. In the dead of night, when everyone in the village had almost turned off the lights and went to sleep, the three of them brought flashlights, ropes, tied a black cloth bag around their waists, and a firewood knife on their backs, and quietly went out and slipped out of the village.

In order not to let the people in the village find out, the three of them walked more than a mile of mountain road in the dark, and then they dared to turn on the flashlight. The mountain night in winter was bitterly cold, and Uncle Tie only wore a few old clothes, which made him shiver with cold. It's not that he doesn't want to wear more clothes, it's that he just has a few clothes, and he can't wear them anymore. He looked back and saw that the other two were no better than him.

The three of them had to speed up their pace, but fortunately, as soon as they exercised, their bodies gradually warmed up. "I'm going to bring a few clothes back this time." Uncle Tie said, and another person responded, "In addition to clothes, it's best to get dozens of yuan, a few pieces of bacon。。。。。。。。 A few people were discussing what to steal later, when they suddenly felt a chill on their necks, and they shivered.

Uncle Tie stretched out his hand, and a few raindrops fell on his hand, it turned out to be raining. People who live in the mountains know that this winter rain is the most infiltrating, the rain is as cold as ice, drenching on people, go back to drink some ginger water when you are in good health, cover the quilt and sleep, sweat and be fine. But if you are not in good health, you may be bedridden from now on, and you will die.

It's really not beautiful in the sky. Uncle Tie saw that the rain was going to be unbearable for a while. The three of them discussed, if they returned home now, they would be drenched in soup, and it would be better to continue on their journey, go to that village and steal a few things that are handy, and not make this trip in vain. Having made up their minds, they braved the rain to go forward.

But when they came to the stockade, they were not dumbfounded. I saw that the village was brightly lit and full of people. It turned out that there was a family in the village who was going to marry the next day, and the people in the plug were helping the family to kill pigs and sheep. Seeing this scene, Uncle Tie knew that he would definitely not be able to start in this village tonight, and if he went in to steal things at this time, wouldn't he jump into the fire pit by himself. There was no way, so the three of them had to turn around and go home in frustration.

The way back is not as easy as it was when I came. When it rains, the trail becomes slippery, and it is easy to slip under your feet, and if you are not careful, you will fall under the cliff. The three of them didn't dare to walk too fast, the more they walked, the more unpleasant they felt in their hearts, Yi Haotian complained: "I walked the mountain road for more than two hours in the middle of the night, but here I got empty, and it rained in vain." What bad luck! ”

At the mention of rain, the three of them felt that their whole bodies were cold, and now their clothes and pants were already soaked, and the cold rain continued to erode their bodies, and the three of them felt that their bodies seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, but their heads were getting heavier and heavier.

Uncle Tie knew that if this continued, they would die of cold if they couldn't leave the house. Now we have to find a place to hide from the rain and wait for the rain to stop before we go. As they walked, they looked around with flashlights, hoping to find a place to shelter from the rain.

After walking like this for a while, sure enough, they noticed a faint fire on the halfway of a hill in front of them. As soon as they saw the fire, the three of them became excited. They know that people in the mountains like to burn charcoal in winter, and the best place to burn charcoal is at the entrance of the cave, so that they are not afraid of the rain to extinguish the charcoal fire, nor are they afraid of the fire burning the entire mountain forest. Maybe it's a family burning charcoal in a cave.

Under the leadership of Uncle Tie, the three of them used all their strength to run to the bottom of the mountain. From the bottom of the mountain, the firelight is even more obvious. From the foot of the mountain there is a trail up the mountain. The three of them climbed the path up the hill, and when they came to the entrance of the cave, the three of them were dumbfounded.

There was a fire in the cave, and a young woman sat beside her, intently breastfeeding the child in her arms.

This picture made the blood of the three people gush out. The three of them looked at each other, and a vicious thought arose in their hearts.

Before the three of them could move their steps, the young woman raised her head and said coldly: "Believe it or not, as long as you dare to take one step further, I will be able to make your heads fall to the ground immediately." ”

The three of them thought to themselves: "We three big men can't beat you little girl?" What's more, you still have a small child by your side" Besides, the three of them are **** at the moment, where can they still listen to the warning of this young woman? The three of them pulled out the firewood knives they were carrying and slowly approached the young woman.

Uncle Tie said as he moved his steps, "Girl." We don't want to kill people, we just want money and sex. As long as you are obedient, we will protect your mother and son's lives. ”

The young woman put the child in her arms into the futon on the ground, dressed herself, stood up, and said, "Good one who seeks only wealth and sex." I'm afraid you don't have that life. ”

With that, the young woman jumped to her feet and threw herself at the three of them. Uncle Tie saw her rushing towards him, and he couldn't care about any pity at this time, so he just wanted to subdue her first. So he took up his sword and slashed. Unexpectedly, before his knife could fall, he felt that his wrist was numb, and the wood knife fell to the ground. Before he could react, he made two "pop" and "snap" sounds, and was slapped twice in the face, only to hit him so that his eyes were full of stars, blood was dripping from his mouth and nose, and he was followed by a sharp pain in his knees, and his whole body fell to the ground involuntarily. Looking at the two next to him, they were already lying on the ground. In a matter of moments, three knives fell to the ground, and three people fell to the ground. The wails of the three resounded through the cave.

The young woman picked up a firewood knife, put it on Uncle Tie's neck, and said, "What, I just said that the three of you don't have that life." ”

Uncle Tie already knew that he had met a master at this time. Someone held a knife to his neck, it was the first time in his life, and the cold feeling from the knife edge had already scared him away. The three of them are also a mixed road, and they have heard some allusions on the rivers and lakes. Knowing that these people are the masters of killing people without blinking, they can only pretend to be their grandsons and beg for mercy at this time.

Uncle Tie hurriedly shuddered and shouted, "Woman, spare your life." The villain has eyes and doesn't know what kind of mountain it is, so you can let go of the small one. I have a 90-year-old mother at home。。。。。。 When the two saw it, they also cried with Uncle Tie.

The young woman shouted, "Shut up!" ”

The three of them quickly shut up.

I heard the young woman say, "If it were in normal times, I would see one and kill one of you." But today, the three of you are lucky, I once made a wish in front of the Buddha that my daughter would never kill within 100 days. Although my life can spare you, I can't let you go now. The three of you open your mouths. ”

The three of them quickly opened their mouths. The young woman took out a medicine bottle from her pocket, opened the cap, took out three reddish-brown pills, fed them into the mouths of the three of them, and said, "Swallow it." ”

The three of them had no choice but to swallow all the pills in their stomachs.

Then the young woman said, "What you ate just now is a secret poison made by my husband's family. When the three of them heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they begged for mercy again and again. The young woman continued: "What are you anxious about? This poison will not attack for a while. I was going to go to this mountain to do a big thing, but now that I have been broken by you, I naturally can't let you go back and say that you have leaked your mouth and ruined my big thing. Well, you guys will come with me into the mountains, and I just so need a few people to help me. Don't worry, if I can do this, the antidote will naturally be given to you at that time. But if you can't, don't even think about living. ”

Uncle Tie had no choice but to obediently follow the young woman to the mountain.

At first, she seemed to be afraid of being discovered by others, so she took the three of them to travel only at night, and chose to rest in a secluded cave during the day. After walking like this for four or five days, the places where they went gradually became inaccessible, and then they changed to rushing during the day and resting at night.

After walking for another 10 days, the place where I went was already covered with mountains and forests, thorns and countless mosquitoes. At this time, there was no way out in the mountains and forests, and the three of them could only slowly use their knives to open the way under the command of Xu Sanniang, and at the same time always pay attention to the poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains.

Uncle Tie and the other three were already exhausted at this moment, and the three of them tried to escape several times, but they were all captured by the young woman. At last she uttered a cruel word, and if anyone escaped and was caught by her, she would break that person's legs and throw him in the forest. Uncle Tie and the three of them all understood that if they were thrown into this deep mountain with their legs broken, it would be tantamount to waiting for death here, and the pain and torture they would suffer were not as good as being killed by a single shot.

The three Uncle Tie, afraid of her obscenity, all gave up the idea of escaping. The three of them had no other distractions, so they moved much faster, and after walking for a few more days, they finally came to the bottom of a big mountain. Surrounded by mountains, a large mountain was isolated in the center, several times larger than the surrounding hills, and the mountain was towering into the clouds, and it was surrounded by clouds and mist from the mountainside upwards. However, the vegetation in the mountains is much sparser than that of the surrounding mountains.

When the young woman saw the mountain, she said excitedly, "We have arrived." ”

Uncle Tie and the other three were relieved when they heard this, the three of them had been exhausted and collapsed these days, and now that they had finally arrived at their destination, they couldn't help but be happy. Looking at this mountain again, it is really extraordinary.

The young woman took out a drawing she had with her, and led the three of them to the bottom of a boulder at the foot of the mountain, and when she opened the weeds in front of her, a stone gate was revealed.

The young woman's hands kept groping on the stone door, and the sound of "click, click" kept coming from the stone door, as if there was a mechanism in the door that was turning, and after a while, I heard the young woman shouting: "Open!" Following her hard, the stone door slowly opened. The four of them waited for a while, and after the air in the stone chamber had moved, they walked into the stone chamber.

Uncle Tie and the other three turned on the flashlight to look around, only to see that this stone room was extremely spacious. On the right side of the stone room, there are about 10 large beds, each bed is divided into two bunks, and on the opposite side of the bed, there are several tables and chairs, and there are pots and pans and other miscellaneous items piled on the sides of the tables and chairs.

There was a small compartment on the left hand side of the stone room, and when they went in to take a look, they saw a small generator in the compartment and a closed iron door, but they didn't know where it led.

The young woman came to the small generator, and after fiddling with it, as soon as she started it, the generator started with a "boom", and the stone chamber was suddenly illuminated by electric lights. Uncle Tie and the other three of them cheered when they saw it, and now they really admired the young woman so much.

The young woman said, "On the right side of the stone gate, there is a living spring that can be drunk, and it must still be there. The three of you go and fetch water and come back to bury the pot and cook rice, and I'll go to the nearby mountains to hunt some game and come back. ”

Uncle Tie and the three of them readily agreed.

Soon after the young woman went out, a few crisp gunshots rang out from the mountains, and when she returned, she saw that she was already carrying two pheasants in her hands.

After dinner that night, and the beds in which they were to be slept were made, the young woman said, "To-morrow I will go up the mountain." You have suffered a lot with me these days, and the festival between us can be regarded as two clear. Tomorrow you can do as you please, if you want to go back, I won't stop you, if you want to go up the mountain with me, if you want to stay in this stone room and wait for me, that's fine. In a word, if I Xu Sanniang can come back from this trip, the benefits of the three of them will be indispensable. With that, he gave the antidote to the three of them.

After discussing with the three of them, Uncle Tie and the others all felt that they couldn't just come back empty-handed after all the hard work. The three of them all decided to follow Xu Sanniang up the mountain tomorrow.
