Chapter VII: Executioner Ditch
The genius was bright, and the second uncle woke me up, saying that he was going to set off to the executioner's ditch, and the fat man and I hurriedly got up from the kang, our faces were not washed, and we put on our clothes and went out with the second uncle, and the reason why this place is called the executioner's ditch is because when the sun has just risen, the whole valley and the surrounding vegetation show many shadows of light and shadow under the early morning sun, and these shadows fold and overlap and fall to the ground to form a shape like the chopper and the executioner who executed the head.

It was too early, and a few of us sat in the carriage and laughed all day, because the old man said that the strange man in the Executioner Ditch often wandered around, so if we wanted to find him for questioning, we had to set off early in the morning and block him at the entrance of the cave. In this way, after bumping up and down the carriage, it can be regarded as arriving at the place, and sure enough, as the old man said, he got out of the carriage and did not walk a few steps, and saw a narrow hole. As soon as we got out of the car, we ran to the entrance of the cave, the second and third uncles followed behind, and when we walked to the entrance of the cave, the third uncle of the Zhang family took out a gun from his waist and walked in front of him, while we followed behind, carefully moving into the hole.
As soon as we entered the hole, a foul smell floated from the depths of the hole, so smoked that I rolled my eyes, we held back the smell and then went inside, the hole was dark, nothing could be seen, suddenly, the fat man stepped on the soles of his feet, a large net on the ground instantly closed and the fat man was in the air, I looked at the fat man at this time, and couldn't help but laugh secretly on the side, fortunately the hole was very dark, and the fat man couldn't see me gloating next to me.
At this time, the left and right turned on the small flashlight that I carried with me, and the faint flashlight light illuminated a small piece in front of our feet, and at this moment, I looked along the sight of the ground, and found a pair of red and swollen feet without shoes, and then looked up, a man with a full face of stubble, old hair and long hair rushed towards us with a stick, the man was wearing tattered clothes, as he moved, a foul smell came, I saw the right leg raised high left and right, and kicked on the man's ribs, Directly kicked the man to the ground, but the man quickly got up again, and rushed to our side with a stick, and there was another wave of smell, I really couldn't stand it, picked up a big stone on the ground and hit the strange man's head, and the strange man fainted instantly.
The second uncle and the left and right stepped forward to tie up the strange man with a rope, this strange man is actually in his 30s, but he is covered with mud and other dirty things, plus unkempt hair, black skin and muddy nails, and a pair of tattered clothes, at first glance I thought it was an old man, the fat man is back to strength, just in the hole by the man's designed mechanism tricks, at this moment, a scoop of cold water directly poured on the man's face, only to see the man wake up suddenly, and then began to struggle, He kept muttering something.
The third uncle squatted in front of the man unhurriedly, and said to him, "Master, we have no malice, and we won't hurt you, we just heard something, I want to find out, if you cooperate with us, I can meet you whatever you need later"
The man was still struggling, rolling on the ground, and let out a scream of pain, I really couldn't look at it, just wanted to step forward, stopped me left and right, walked up to the man and said, "I believe you are Xu Gong, so can you tell me what you have experienced?" ”
The man rolling on the ground suddenly froze when he heard the words left and right, then sat up from the ground, bared a mouthful of scorched teeth and said to the left and right, "Do you really believe it?" ”
Left and right didn't answer, but without hesitation at all, he directly pulled the man from the ground and asked, "I know you're not crazy, right?"
The man looked left and right in astonishment, and asked him to untie the rope on his body, and the fat man was just about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by the second uncle, saying that he wanted to see what he could ask left and right. Left and right to untie the rope for the man, the man sat on the ground as soon as his buttocks were paralyzed, covering his stomach, shouting "It hurts, it hurts me", left and right lifted the man's tattered clothes, and saw that the man's skin was crawling under one by one, that is, we often called money strings, the yellow-brown antennae and feet were tightly lying in the flesh under the skin, and the left and right just wanted to touch, but before the hand touched the skin, five or six worms drilled under the skin, separating the skin and flesh that were originally tightly bonded.
"I don't have long to live, what do you want to ask, hurry up and ask," said the man, who endured the severe pain all over his body, got up from the ground.
The third uncle stepped forward and slowly helped the man up, but he was refreshed, and asked directly, "We want to know about the ancient country of Cheshi"
As soon as the man heard the words "Cheshi Guguo", his whole body began to tremble, trembling, and then he began to sweat all over, he said, "I know what you are here for", hahaha laughed, "I advise you to give up, otherwise you will end up in the same fate as me" The man said.
The third uncle didn't give up, and then asked, "Do you know where the ancient country of Cheshi is?" ”
The man raised his head and looked at Uncle Zhang, his eyes were full of helplessness, motioned for us all to come over, and then began to preach, "Whether you believe it or not, I want to say that there are really monsters in this world, and this monster is not anywhere else, just in the depths of the Taklamakan Desert.
The fat man didn't believe in any bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and when he heard this strange man say this, of course, he had an expression of disbelief and disgust, and when the man saw the fat man like this, he emphasized again, "I know you may not believe it, my words are not trusted, I have long been used to it, but you can still choose to listen to me finish telling this story."
I once came to this place, this place is barren, the people are not living, it was I who built the current Mao'er Temple, and it was also I who blessed the peace of the village where I once lived. But things did not go as smoothly as I imagined, and one day I woke up at night, and I saw that the outside of the house was surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and before I could react, I had been knocked out from behind with a stick, and when I woke up again, I found myself in an ancient city.
And this ancient city was dark, I spent two days without finding any exit or entrance, and when I climbed to the highest point in the city, I actually heard the sound of gurgling quicksand, and then I realized that I was actually in a castle buried underground, but I saw that there were two huge stone statues of gods in my place, and the base of the stone statues was engraved with a large number of tantric scriptures in the Qiuzi language, although I did not understand the meaning of this, but I could also infer from the murals next to it that it might be a sacrifice or sacrifice scene.
It's just that the biggest problem at that time was not how to escape, but how to survive, I had no water or dry food around me, so I could only look for something to eat and drink in the ancient city as soon as possible. I kept walking in, I don't know how long I walked, I only heard a "click", the stone slab on the wall next to me suddenly cracked, and a large number of worms poured out from it, and the worms burrowed into my skin, into my mouth, ears, nose, and stomach, I don't know how I survived in the end, the man said and began to choke, gesturing with trembling hands, I saw ・・・・・ I saw ・・・・・ such a big and big pit, and there were white bones in it, and... and ・・・・・・ ghosts・・・・・ all"
As he was talking, the man in front of him suddenly began to twitch, and his speech began to become extremely unclear, muttering "Don't go, it", death or something, although we didn't hear clearly, but in the depths of the Taklamakan Desert in the man's mouth, I don't know what awaits us.
When the man gradually stabilized, the third uncle asked again, "Then how did you get out in the end?"
But the man didn't answer this question, just said vaguely, "I don't remember・・・・・・ I forgot" In fact, I guess the man didn't really forget, but this part of the man didn't want to say it.
"Can you take us again, then?" The third uncle asked, "Then, I can grant you a wish."
"You can't fulfill my wish," the man said.
"I will provide you with the best treatment so that you can live a little longer," the third uncle replied.
The man began to smile weirdly when he heard the words of the third uncle, and said "Avenge me" at the last word.
We were all shocked by the man's words, revenge, revenge, but the man didn't say it clearly, just said that if we really live to the end, we must avenge him, but, in fact, I have another question, maybe it doesn't matter, but after thinking about it, I still asked "Why haven't you been old?" ”
"You'll know," the man said, looking at me, then turned and walked into the dark hole, "Come to me when you're ready," and disappeared into the final darkness.
