After the child shouted, the crowd looked under the big locust tree behind them, and at the same time, they automatically split a path from the middle.

My grandfather looked through the gap between the crowds, and saw a white-bearded old man, about seventy years old, holding a black cigarette pouch pole in his hand, and green smoke was still rising from the smoke pot at the stone table under the big locust tree.

At this time, the old man slowly stood up from the stone bench, raised his hand and pressed twice on the smoking pot, extinguished the sparks inside, tucked the tobacco pouch pole into his waist, and slowly walked towards my grandfather from the big locust tree.

My grandfather can see from the pace of the old man's walking, he is a practitioner with a deep foundation, and from the perspective of the momentum of the whole person, this old man is probably also a character when he is young.

The old man quickly came to my grandfather, looked my grandfather up and down, and asked coldly: "Pai relatives, let's say ten thousand children, which one?" ”

When my grandfather heard the old man's words, he was stunned, the old man said the green forest black dialect, and "row relatives" means brothers; "Dao Wan'er" is to let him tell his name and origin; "Locks" is generally the name of the bandit mountain. The old man's words meant to say, brother, what is your name, which mountain bandit you are?

These green forest black words, my grandfather learned a little when he was messing around with those ruffians and hooligans in Weishi County.

My grandfather looked at the old man and replied, "The legs of the runners are long, and they have eaten all directions." "What my grandfather means is that I'm just a passerby, not a mountain.

The old man smiled coldly when he heard this, "Running feet? Can you know the incision in the recipe? "The old man means that how can an ordinary person understand the black language of Taoism.

My grandfather hurriedly replied in official dialect: "I didn't study well in the past few years, and I will be confused for a few days." ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately glared, "Young man, don't toast and don't eat and drink, let's be honest, which one sent you, who are you in charge?" ”

When my grandfather heard the old man's words, he was stunned again. Soon, combined with the attitude of those villagers who refused to him when he inquired about the road before, he figured out what the old man meant.

This area of Shandong, since ancient times, has been a place of horse bandits, when I was a child, I often heard the old people in the village say what "Shandong's horses, Sichuan's thieves", which can be seen.

Heze City, Shandong Province, used to be called Heze County, located in Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui Province four provinces junction, in the past was the most noisy horse trouble place, it can be said, five miles of a lock, ten miles of a village, so the people there regardless of men and women, old and young, everyone practice martial arts and boxing, once the horse to rob, men, women and children copy the guy together with them to confront.

At this time, these people in the small village mistook my grandfather for a 'black head' sent by a certain lock, and the black head was also a "spy" who stepped on a little bit.

After thinking about this, my grandfather immediately said to the old man: "Old man, I'm not a lock, really not, I'm just a passerby, my surname is Liu, my name is Liu Niandao, a native of Sanwangzhuang, Yanjin County......"

"Are you from Sanwangzhuang?" Before my grandfather's words fell, the little boy who called my grandfather "bad guy" before ran over with a look of surprise.

My grandfather glanced at him, "Yes, little brother, I am from Sanwangzhuang." ”

"Then do you recognize Tu ......?"

"Huzi, don't make trouble!" Before the little boy could finish speaking, the old man drank him.

The little boy suddenly lowered his head, looked unhappy, reluctantly turned around and returned to the crowd, muttering out the words that he hadn't finished just now, "Dragon Slayer ......" Immediately, the little boy turned his head sharply and shouted to the old man: "Grandpa, you said that you would lead me to Sanwangzhuang to find the Dragon Slayer Master to apprentice, don't forget." ”

"I can't forget, I don't know if the dragon slayer can accept you." The old man replied to the little boy, then turned his head and looked my grandfather up and down, and asked, "Are you from Yanjin County?" So what are you doing with us? ”

Hearing the old man ask this, my grandfather thought about it, he couldn't say that he had escaped from marriage, so he said nonsense, "I went to my relatives and passed by you." ”

"Passing by us......" the old man sneered at his face, "and where did you sleep last night?" ”

As soon as the old man asked this, my grandfather immediately felt that he was a little at a loss, strictly speaking, he was a trespasser yesterday.

My grandfather thought for a while and replied, "I slept in a house with three big coffins, there was no one in that house, I thought no one lived in it, old man, if you want the money, I can give it to you......"

"Who's asking for your room?" The old man didn't wait for my grandfather to finish speaking, and interrupted coldly: "Slept until midnight, did something happen?" ”

My grandfather was stunned for a moment, looking at the old man's appearance at this time, as if he knew what was in the coffin, and replied carefully: "Yes, from the three big coffins, three zombies crawled out of the ......."

"What did you say!" When the old man heard this, he yelled violently, and the beard on his chin trembled, as if my grandfather's words made him angry, "Then that is a zombie, then that is the monkey god offered by our village!" ”

"Monkey God?" My grandfather was immediately stunned, but if you think about it, the three-headed "zombie" looks like a big horse monkey.

The old man then asked, "The three monkey gods, you killed them all alone?" ”

My grandfather didn't know what to say at this time, no wonder there was an incense burner brazier on the head of the coffin, but even if they offered some "monkey god" here, it shouldn't be in the coffin, how panicked.

My grandfather said, "I killed the two big ones, and the smaller ones ran away by themselves." ”

"You're alone, without help?" The old man asked again.

"Yes, I'm alone, no helper."

As soon as my grandfather said this, everyone present, including the old man, changed their faces, and even the eyes of my grandfather changed, as if they were looking at a monster.

After a pause, the old man sighed, "Your Yanjin County Sanwangzhuang is really heroic, a year ago, I heard that someone in your place killed the Dragon King, and the people called him a 'Dragon Slayer', and now you have single-handedly killed the two monkey gods in our village, you Yanjin County Sanwangzhuang people, amazing, but it's a pity, it's a pity......"

When my grandfather heard the old man's words, his heart flickered, why did he feel that the so-called "Dragon Slayer" was himself? Isn't it the reincarnation of the six-armed Nezha, when did he give such a name?

However, my grandfather didn't have the time to talk to the old man about the "dragon slayer" at this time, and said to the old man with a pleasant face: "Old man, I killed your monkey god, but I thought they were zombies that had become climate, and killing them was also to help the people in your village get rid of the harm, if I knew that they were the monkey gods offered by the village, I would never do this." ”

"Now you know, it's too late!" The old man glared at my grandfather coldly, "Our village didn't give those ringing horses the scourge, just because of the three monkey gods, now you kill the monkey gods in our village, it is equivalent to taking the lives of our whole village, young and old, now if the ringing horses come, you see if we can stop these old people and children!" ”

After a while, my grandfather was speechless, and at the same time I understood in my heart, it turned out that they worshiped the three monsters, in order to deal with the ringing horses, it is estimated that those monsters were raised in the coffin, but also to scare those ringing horses, no wonder the villagers said that their village is evil, outsiders can not live, it is estimated that as soon as outsiders enter the village, what "monkey god" will run out of the coffin to make trouble, according to the old man, it is really a pity to kill......

"And what do you want to do with me now?" My grandfather asked.

"How? I was going to cut you with a thousand knives to pay tribute to the monkey god, but since you are not the black head of the ringing horse, you are also a character, and you don't know it, so I will leave you a whole corpse. The old man said, beckoning to the crowd, and several fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown children stood out of the crowd.

The old man said to them, "Remove him from his tree, find a stone and tie him, and sink him into the river." ”

As soon as my grandfather heard that the old man was going to sink himself into the river, he immediately struggled, "Old man, you are too unreasonable, what am I trying to kill them, don't you just want to help your village get rid of the harm, who knows that they are the monkey gods you offer." ”

The old man glanced at my grandfather and twisted his head to the side.

A few half-grown children quickly untied my grandfather from the tree, but my grandfather did not get rid of the rope, because the rope was tied twice inside and out, one layer with the big tree, and the whole arm and leg were tied separately.

At this time, the wounds on my grandfather's body were still bleeding out, and the straw ropes were dyed red, and I wanted to resist, but my body was very weak, and it was already very good to be able to barely speak.

A few children carried my grandfather to a donkey cart, and I don't know where to move a big stone, which seemed to weigh 100 pounds, and after throwing some straw ropes on the donkey cart, an older child drove the cart, and a group of villagers followed, and rushed towards the river.

At this time, my grandfather saw that they really wanted to sink themselves into the river, and begged to no avail, so he lay on the donkey cart and cursed.

The old man who followed the donkey cart said angrily: "Little thief, the monkey god who killed us, you still have the face to scold!" ”

My grandfather was also annoyed at this time, and shouted: "What is it to kill a few monkeys, my master and my dragon king have slaughtered them, and I am the dragon slayer hero of Sanwangzhuang in Yanjin County!" ”

The old man listened and said contemptuously: "If you are a dragon slayer, then I am the father of the Heavenly King." ”

Soon, the donkey cart came to the embankment on the bank of the river, and below the embankment was the water of the Yellow River, which was flowing eastward.

A few half-grown children pulled my grandfather off the donkey cart and tied the hundred-ten-pound stone to my grandfather.

My grandfather's heart sank at this time, and he stopped scolding, and his heart said, it's over, why is it going to sink people into the river without knowing it?

My grandfather feels that he has been wronged.

After tying up the stones, a few children carried my grandfather to the embankment, shouted at the river, and relaxed my grandfather's body.

One!

Two! ~pen

Three!

After shouting "three", there is a word "throw" at the back, and after the word "throw" is shouted, several children will throw my grandfather into the river together.

When I heard those children shouting "three", my grandfather closed his eyes and said in his heart: "Father, mother, the child is not filial, and I will repay you for your nurturing kindness in the next life...... " followed, holding his breath in his mouth and nose, and waiting to fall into the water.

That's when it happened.

Tweet ——!

Suddenly, an arrow rang out in the distance, crisp and piercing.

My grandfather opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and at this time, the villagers panicked, and the little boy with the whip said to the old man with a frightened face: "Grandpa, the 'Dominator' is here......" -The last ghost hunter-
