I was the same as the second master, I slept until the next day's lunch was delivered before I woke up, this time it was no longer a dry cake, but Fugui opened the door and brought in a tray, on which were placed the whole white-cut chicken and sauced beef, seven or eight large meat buns, two pots of soju, not only me, but even the second master, who has always been known for his bottomless pit, was stunned on the spot, it seems that my broken head meal really scared him.

The two of them looked motionless at Fugui putting the tray on the ground, and when he turned around, I saw Lei Yuhao standing at the door with a sneer, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, it seems that it is a blessing or a curse only tonight.

Lei Yuhao didn't talk to me, he didn't even enter the door, just like looking at a tiger in a cage, standing outside and looking at it from a distance a few times, until Fugui locked the door again.

Before the sound of the lock outside fell, the second master turned his head and asked me, "This, this is what you said about the decapitated rice?" ”

Since I had already eaten it once before, I was not so scared, so I walked over and tore off a chicken leg and hummed casually.

He was stunned for a moment, then pounced, broke open each meat bun and looked at it, and finally sat down in disappointment and took the bun and ate it.

I comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Commander Li has always been safe, and he will not die without help." ”

"Do you think she knows that today is our time of death?" ”

I didn't know the bottom of my heart when I asked this, but seeing the second master's unyielding appearance, I could only comfort him: "I must know, don't worry, that is Commander Li, who is much more shrewd than the two of us." ”

He nodded, took the flask and gulped it down.

The two of them ate and drank enough, no one could sleep, and they sat quietly in a corner thinking about their hearts, until the evening, when Fugui brought food again, and the meal was exactly the same as at noon, and the two of them ate absentmindedly and waited for dark.

This feeling is too strange, both afraid and longing, anxious and slightly excited, finally survived to the drum beating the third watch, listening to the sound of footsteps outside, the two people stood up nervously, staring at the door, their hearts were about to jump to their throats.

As soon as the door opened, the fire flashed, and he threw in two backpacks first, and when he looked up, he saw Yuanmei holding a candle, panting with a sword on her back, and standing at the door with a ruddy face and ordering: "Quick!" Hurry up. ”

The two of us glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, hurriedly put the bag on their backs, and took the sword from her back, the three of them didn't care about talking, and Yuanmei led the way straight to the front yard.

While running, I listened to the strange sound of creaking in the front yard, and when I ran to the eaves corridor, I found that Fugui was holding a small stone grinding and turning hard, although I couldn't see the effort from his focused expression, but I could hear the sound, the grinding was estimated to be useless for a long time, and it was very heavy.

There was a fire lit next to him, and paper money was burning inside, Yuan Mei was stunned when she saw us, and hurriedly urged: "Don't look at it, there are not a few paper coins in it, I'm afraid it won't last long." ”

We quickly turned our heads and ran behind Yuanmei to the main entrance, and as soon as we arrived at the door, we heard heavy footsteps outside, Yuanmei quickly blew out the candle and pulled us behind the door.

It was still the two strong men from last time, who entered the gate, strode straight to the backyard, the three of us cat-waisted, quietly and quickly out of the gate, Yuanmei was like a dexterous cat, speeding in the alley.

After running after her for a while, I suddenly found that the direction she was running was not towards the outside of the town, on the contrary, she was going straight to the center of the town, I hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "Yuanmei, where are we going?" ”

"Nonsense, I don't need to ask, it's to go to the sand in the center of town. ”

When the second master heard this, he was anxious and shouted, "Where are you going?" Isn't this point looking for death? ”

"Shhh Yuanmei crouched in the shadows of the street corner, looking out and whispering.

I remembered that Chunxiang said before that the well in the center of the town was used for drinking water for the whole town, and I found that it was indeed strange when I recalled it carefully, and I remembered going to the sandy area in the center of the town twice, but I didn't see any wells at all, and secondly, I had never seen anyone carrying buckets or the like to go over there, so this well was just a disguise.

I whispered to her, "I haven't seen the well, do you know the location?" ”

"Where Lei Yuhao stands every night, that's below." ”

Ah, I see, just about to open my mouth to continue asking, Yuan Mei suddenly stretched out a hand to signal quiet, and at the same time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps on the street outside from far and near, only to see Fugui and two strong men running over in a hurry, presumably to report to Lei Yuhao.

The three of them hurriedly retreated a few steps deeper into the alley, and when the people were far away, Yuanmei whispered: "When they turn over and come back, let's hurry up and go over, I will put all the necessary things in a hidden place not far from there, and we will go down the well after taking them." ”

I hummed softly, and the second master said: "Commander Li is clever, and he has a good plan to divert the tiger from the mountain."

"Shut up! ”

At the same time, I saw a whirlwind of white lanterns flashing through the alley, followed by a crowd of black oppressors, at this time my heart was about to jump out, so many people, anyone who turned their heads sideways could see us, don't forget, this is a group of ghosts, see things at night than during the day.

Fortunately, this group of people went straight forward, and none of them turned their heads sideways, and when about half a cigarette had passed, Yuanmei said: "Go!" The three of them rushed out like arrows from a string.

Coming to the street, the three of them took a big stride, running all the way towards the sand, the wind in their ears was whistling, and they reached the edge of the sand in the blink of an eye, Yuanmei dragged out a bundle of wrist-thick hemp rope and a few torches from under the bamboo pole next to the house where I had avoided before, and one end of the hemp rope was still tied with four or five arm-thick, half-human high bamboo poles, the second master carried the rope on his body, I took the torch, and came to the place where Lei Yuhao stood every night in two steps.

Put down the equipment, brushed away the sand, revealing a bluestone slab the size of a door panel, the three of them did not dare to light the torch, and the black light fumbled to the side.

In the process of pushing, I found that the stone slab was densely carved with things that I don't know whether it was a charm or a pattern, but the time was pressing, and I didn't have time to look closely, and although the slate was only five fingers wide, I didn't know if the material was real, or no one had moved for too many years.

After pushing for a while, I saw Yuanmei looking into the distance and was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Quick!" Hurry up! Then, like crazy, he lay on the ground and pushed forward desperately with his shoulders.

I looked up and saw a big white lantern in the distance rushing towards us, this time the white lantern was completely different, although it was still floating in the air, but it was extremely fast, not shaking, like a meteor, falling from the sky.

The second master shouted: "Don't look at it! Hurry up! ”

The three of them gritted their teeth, the green tendons were tensed, only to hear the slate rumble, creaking, and finally revealing a hole that could barely accommodate one person in and out, the second master quickly threw the hemp rope down, and the bamboo pole at the other end was just stuck between the stone slab and the wellhead.

Yuanmei took the lead in grabbing the rope and slid down, the second master and I threw down the things on our bodies, the second master asked me to go down first, I shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry!" ”。

He refused at first, I kicked him hard in the ass, he saw that I was really anxious, so I had to get in, at this time the big white lantern was in front of me, I stood by the well, ready to face Lei Yuhao.

Lei Yuhao held the lantern in his hand, floating up, the white hair on his head stood one by one, his face was pale, and he stared at me with a serious expression, behind him were the men, women and children of the whole town, and he said sharply: "Return the Eight Ancient Jade." ”

As soon as I heard this, I secretly applauded Yuanmei in my heart, and I didn't forget to steal the ancient jade first at a critical moment, and I instantly felt a lot more down-to-earth.

I don't know why, when I face him now, I don't have a trace of fear in my heart, but on the contrary, I feel funny, so I hugged my arms and said contemptuously: "Still? How? After a long time, do you really think it's your own? ”

Lei Yuhao was speechless when he said this, the white rod in his hand was rattled by him, and suddenly he slowly opened his mouth, opening wider and wider, stretching the deep and shallow wrinkles on his face, until the skin on his face had begun to become transparent, and even through his cheeks, he could see the neatly arranged teeth inside, but he still didn't mean to stop, and at this time his mouth was already able to stuff a bowl.

What is even more cautious is that everything in his mouth is white, his tongue, his throat, there is no blood at all, and the people behind him also began to open their mouths, one after another, as if a fire was burning the plain, one by one, row by row, everyone or every ghost opened their mouths, opened wide, and opened again, and every mouth was a miserable white, and every pair of eyes shot a fierce light full of resentment.

I stood in place, completely stunned by the scene in front of me, I couldn't even hear the urging shouts of the second master under my feet, when Lei Yuhao's chin had completely covered his neck, parallel to his collarbone, he stopped, no, it should be said that they stopped, I don't know what they were going to do, standing motionless, looking at them dementedly.

The yin wind blew the sand on the ground, coiling into a whirlpool at the feet, and the streams were continuous, except for the sound of the wind, there was a deathly silence all around.

Suddenly, I heard a thin scream, said it was a scream, but it was more like a stone scratching glass, high-pitched piercing, the sound gradually increased, I hurriedly covered my ears, but it was useless, the sound seemed to have nothing to do with the ears, but shot straight into the body, the head was a burst of constricted pain, the heart began to beat violently, faster and faster, more and more heavy.

The sound was getting louder and louder, and I couldn't even hear the sound of my teeth clashing, and my mind was blank except for screaming, so I could only close my eyes and squat by the well.

At this moment, I wished that I would die immediately, and suddenly I felt how relieved and happy the head-on blow of the stumble was, and I slowly lay down on the slate, covering my ears with both hands, and kept hitting my head against the slate hard, in order to be able to control the pain with pain.

But this did not alleviate the discomfort in the slightest, because the scream did not bring specific pain, but an indescribable pain from the inside out, like ten thousand ants eating away at the bones, and like a fire burning the body.

At this time, I could already feel a slippery piece on my forehead, thinking that it should be bleeding, but I couldn't control myself, as if this was the only way to relieve a little, I continued to hit the stone slab with my head one by one, and suddenly, I felt an extra hand on my body, which pushed me hard towards the mouth of the well.

Despite this, I still didn't want to open my eyes, the screams were still increasing, and then a hand was stretched out from the well, grabbed my feet, and pulled me down, the moment I left the ground, the screams disappeared abruptly, I opened my eyes, looked up, and saw Haruka standing at the mouth of the well, the whole person was like an exploding balloon, and in an instant, it was torn apart, accompanied by a heavy sigh, and disappeared, leaving me with the last impression of her eyes full of happiness and comfort.

And I fell straight into the darkness, and when I landed, the slate above my head slammed and shut.
