Lao Jiu frowned and said: "I didn't believe it very much, the four or five-year-old children in the small village of Yunnan don't know that there is a place in Xinjiang, how can they know the phone number of the local medical center?" But he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number, and a young man over there replied: Hello, when this is so-and-so medical center, I can hardly speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It would have been nice if it had been that way, but as time went on, the children's symptoms began to become more and more frightening. They also start to twitch and roll their eyes during the day, and if no one is looking, they will shove anything they catch into their mouths! Not only two or three-year-old children, but also those five or six-year-old children, and they don't listen to what they say, when they get sick, it's like a different person, a child who doesn't know his parents! ”

I listened with horror and instantly understood why adults lock their children in their homes when they go out. Wang Zhen asked, "Then have you ever been to that medical center in Xinjiang?" Maybe that's where the problem lies. ”

Lao Jiu sneered: "You think we haven't been there?" I went five or six times in a row, looking at the map and asking the locals. But everyone told me that there was no such place in Xinjiang at all. I searched for the city and district where it was located according to the phone number, but found that there was only a dilapidated building that had been abandoned for many years, and a few kilometers behind it was the desert.

I've looked at the dangerous building, it's full of dust and cobwebs, and there's nothing but that. I was standing under the dangerous building and trying to call this number, but I got a response that the number you dialed was empty. ”

Lao Jiu's hands trembled slightly, and I looked at her pale face, so shocked that I couldn't say a word. Wang Linshuo asked eagerly: "What about after that?" Did you dial that number again when you got home? ”

Lao Jiu shook his head: "It's dialed, it's all empty." I really regret that I didn't ask when it got on. The children's illness became more and more serious, and gradually several children died whimpering in the middle of the night as they convulsed. Everyone was so flustered that they couldn't take care of anything, so they had the courage to go to the back mountain to pick a hundred and ten kinds of herbs and come back, and feed them to the children one by one, but it was still useless.

My Niu Niu almost died that day, rolling her eyes. I was ready to give up, and the coffin was ready. But her brother did not give up, and ran to the back of the mountain to pick a handful of herbs indiscriminately, and came back, chewed them and stuffed them into Niuniu's mouth—he was already dying. In his frustration, he inadvertently put a grass with a large patch of green slime in its mouth.

He had just chewed it twice and vomited on the ground, his face instantly turned red, and blood oozed from his nostrils. I couldn't see it well, I must have eaten poisonous weeds, and my heart sank all at once, and I sat on the ground and began to cry. Niu Niu was completely out of her mind at that time, and she broke free from the rope in a frenzy and bit her brother in the face. ”

When I heard this, I was terrified, and I thought to myself, could it be that I wanted to bring all a dozen children over, and one of them would bite me hard? I subconsciously took a few steps back, and then heard Lao Jiu say in a trembling voice: "What I didn't expect was that Niuniu gradually got better after taking that bite, but her brother became half-crazy and half-stupid, and he was delirious. As soon as the news spread, countless people went up the mountain to look for the green slime, but none of them survived after eating it. I was afraid that they would take advantage of my crazy child, so I kicked him out of the house and let him move around the road. As soon as I saw that there was something like black cotton wool in the vomit you vomited, I knew you had eaten it. As the village chief, I have to kneel down and beg you for their sake. ”

I thought to myself, that thing didn't come in my mouth, and said tremblingly, "That...... How to save those children? It's not going to be everyone biting me, is it? ”

Lao Jiu shook his head and said, "It's not so terrifying, we later found out that it was blood that was working, not human flesh." All you need is a little blood. ”

Zhang Siyuan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Then what does this matter have to do with that piece of jade?" ”

Lao Jiu hesitated a little and hesitated: "That piece of jade is my family heirloom, and I don't know what it is for, I only know that when Niuniu is sick, she smells the fragrance of jade and can get better." The jade was handed down from my great-grandfather, and my father held my hand before he died, repeating that he wanted to take good care of it. After Niuniu's illness recovered, I felt very sorry for her brother, so I gave him this jade as a talisman. Just now, my man and I saw that Yu was so angry, and I thought that you killed him......"

I nodded, sighed and didn't know what to say, but I heard Wang Linshuo say sharply: "No! Your child told me that her brother had stolen a piece of jade that was very important to the whole village, and if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't be able to go home! ”

Lao Jiu's complexion changed, she turned around suddenly, and there was a hint of sharpness in her false and soft eyes that could not be hidden. She squeezed out a dry smile and said, "That's my excuse for prevaricating her......"

I looked into her face and suddenly realized that she had lied at some point in the narrative of the incident, and that the whole incident was flawed according to what she had said! Wang Zhen pulled out a dagger and put it against her waist, and threatened viciously: "To tell the truth, don't bear the consequences." ”

Lao Jiu's body was stiff, and sweat was dripping down. Seeing that she was still holding her teeth, I leaned forward and threatened her in her ear: "Be careful that I kill you by taking advantage of the anger of the parents of the children in the village who are still not cured." ”

She shook suddenly, squatted down and hugged her head and shouted, "Don't, I say, I'll say everything!" ”

I motioned for Wang Zhen to put away the dagger, crossed my arms and blocked the door and looked at her coldly, she stood up tremblingly, and said in a weak mosquito voice: "I didn't lie a word about the illness of those children in the village and the matter of Niuniu. That piece of jade...... That piece of jade is not my heirloom, it is the guardian of the whole village! ”

Wang Linshuo and I glanced at each other suspiciously, and Wang Zhen impatiently motioned for her to continue. Lao Jiu gasped and said, "There is a temple in our village, but it is this piece of jade that should have been placed in the place where the Buddha statue should have been placed. Ever since I was born, it has been in that temple, and we have always worshipped it as a god and offered it with the highest rites. Some time ago, a stranger suddenly came to the village, and his clothes looked like he was from a big city outside. He came to my house and asked me to steal this piece of jade to him, and he would give me everything I wanted, including curing my child's madness. I rejected him harshly at first and asked him why he didn't go on his own.

He only said that it was very inconvenient for him to go, and that he would definitely be worried about his life. He repeatedly promised to keep me safe and tempted me with those conditions. I was dazed, so I agreed. That evening, my son came back for a visit, and he was not sick at the time, and said he would come back and have something to eat. I made him a lot of dry food for him, after which he went out and never came back.

In the early hours of that morning, I crept up and went out to steal jade. But when I stepped through the temple gate, I found that the piece of jade was gone, and all the surrounding protections were broken. I was shocked, and I looked around carefully but found everything. I reassured myself that maybe the man had taken it and went home feeling uneasy.

The next morning, when someone made incense, they found that the jade was missing, and the whole village was in chaos, and everyone called up to check one by one. In the end, they found out the shocking secret from Niuniu: her brother liked the jade very much, always told others that it was his, and also said to Niuniu that people were in jade and something like that, and took her to see it many times.

When the news came out, the whole village was a sensation, and we didn't dare to stop for a moment, and we went to look for jade non-stop. ”

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and said nothing, Zhang Siyuan leaned in and asked, "The person who asked you to steal the jade, is his white skin very delicate?" ”

She shook her head. I tried to describe the characteristics of Hei Dahan and Hu San again, but she shook her head again and again. I wondered, could it be Uncle Lu or the man in black? He gestured to her apprehensively, but she still shook her head.

Wang Zhen sighed: "You just tell us what he looks like." ”

Lao Jiu's eyes were a little hesitant, and more panicked. She hid in the corner of the wall and said in a voice that couldn't be lower: "He looks very ordinary, his facial features are the most common, he is not tall, and his body is slightly thin, but there is a feeling of fear on his body." Even though we've only met once, and even though he's a public face, I can still recognize him at a glance in the crowd. ”

I felt a chill on my back, unable to speak as if a big hand had grasped my heart, and my mind was quickly searching for people who met the above conditions, but I couldn't find any relevant information. Zhang Siyuan sighed: "Why have I never heard of this person, could it be that he is like Voldemort in Harry Potter, a mysterious person who cannot be mentioned?" ”

Lao Jiu still looked a little apprehensive, and she asked with wide eyes, "What is Harry Potter?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's just a novel." I can buy it for your daughter when I have time. ”

She blocked the doorway, and whispered again and again with some nervousness: "You must not tell anyone about this, I beg you, really." ”

Wang Zhen joked: "What did we promise, maybe there is an ear outside the door now." ”

Before he could finish his words, the wooden door I was leaning on was suddenly slammed several times. I was most easily frightened when my nerves were tense, and I jumped up with a scream, picked up my dagger and trembled and shouted, "Who? ”
