"Chapter 6: The Devil's Carrion Fly"

The next day, I got up early, washed up and went to the next door to find Zhang Huanqing, and after seeing that he was already dressed, I went to the village chief to see if I had found any clues about those strange insects. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I arrived at the village chief's residence, I saw that the village chief's eyes were red, probably because he didn't sleep well because he was looking for information. When he saw us, he reacted a little excitedly, "You guys are here, come here," and as he said, he picked up a booklet wrapped in an oilcloth and handed it to me.

When I opened the tarpaulin, I saw the yellowed booklet inside, it should be some age, and after opening it, some scribbled self inside made my head big for a while. It took half a day to understand the meaning. It's kind of what happened in some villages, and some records of when there were outsiders, but when I turned to the last few pages, I was attracted by some of the drawings that were not particularly clear.

The first one is a picture of a small man walking in a bamboo forest, and it seems that he is going into the mountain, and then the latter painting depicts a man falling to the ground, and there is a round thing on his thigh, which should have been bitten by something. The third painting is like what Zhang Huanqing said, the person's mouth, nose and eyes are overflowing with something, and the last painting is a round insect with a pair of small wings that looks very strange, which looks like a kind of insect like a longhorn beetle, but when I saw the pattern on its back, I knew that this must be the kind of strange insect that Zhang Huanqing said.

Zhang Huanqing leaned over me and looked at the painting on the booklet in my hand, "That's right, that's what it looks like." He quickly recognized the bug.

I flipped through the pages and found that there was nothing else on it, so I closed the booklet, turned to the village chief and asked, "Grandpa Niu, when is this note?" Why isn't that in the back? ”

He sighed, "This is recorded by the village chief of my father's generation, and as for the back, I don't know." It's been so long, after all," the village chief shook his head.

I looked down and thought about it, and an idea flashed through my mind, "Are there any people in the village who are your father's generation?" ”

Hearing me say this, Village Chief Niu really thought of such a person, "There is another one here, but he is too old, I don't know if his ears can still hear people." ”

I hurriedly asked the village chief Niu who that person was.

"That's Liu Xiucai, who lives in the east of the village. is a talent in the late Qing Dynasty, and he is almost 100 years old. "As he spoke, he was going to take us to find it.

I hurriedly grabbed the village chief, "Grandpa Niu, you can rest, let's go," I couldn't help but look at his red eyes.

The village chief didn't insist, but went back after watching us go.

When I came to Liu Xiucai's residence, I was very surprised by the scene in front of me, there was a wooden fence around the house, and in the small yard surrounded by the fence, there were orchids all over the ground, and the figures of an old man and a young man were constantly busy there.

I shouted softly, "Excuse me, does Liu Xiucai live here?" ”

The old man was still busy there, and the young man next to him heard someone talking and turned to look at us. "Brother Guoqiang. It's you. ”

At this time, I found out that the young man next to the old man was the grandson and second child of Aunt Li'er's family who I used to help look after the cemetery.

"It's you, Erwa, what are you doing here? By the way, is this the home of Liu Xiucai in the village? ”

"I'm here to help, I come every day, and after I'm busy every day, Grandpa Liu will tell me a story." The second baby raised her head, looking very happy, and said, pointing to the old man who was still busy behind, "That's Grandpa Liu, he is the most knowledgeable in my Zhuhai Village." ”

"Then he is the Liu Xiucai in the village?" I touched the second baby's head.

"Then can I ask Grandpa Liu about something?" I pointed to the old man in front of me, who was still busy.

Erwa shook her head, "Grandpa Liu's ears are almost out of hearing, I'm afraid I can't hear you, but well, I can help you." As he spoke, he turned around and ran to the old man's side, pulled the old man's clothes, and the old man turned around, "Hehe, Erwazi, are you done with your work, I won't tell me a story if you don't finish it." The old man said something tremblingly, and the second baby shook her head and pointed to my door.

The old man looked up at my door, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes narrowed to my door, "Hehe, a guest is coming, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Hello Grandpa Liu, I'm looking for something from you," I shouted at him.

He leaned forward, tilted his ear, and shook his head, "Alas, I'm too old to hear." ”

Zhang Huanqing and I were a little helpless, and then I saw Erwa pull Liu Xiucai's sleeve and make a few strokes with a closing comparison. Then Liu Xiucai looked at my door as if he understood.

"Oh, you're looking for something with me. Come in with me," he nodded, and invited us in.

I glanced at Zhang Huanqing, he nodded and walked into the house together, the room was very clean, and there was a desk facing the door, and there was a row of brushes and an inkstone on the table. It seems that although Liu Xiucai is old, he still seems to like writing very much, and there are several calligraphy and paintings neatly hung on the walls around him.

After arranging for me to sit down, I asked Erwa Duan to bring two cups of hot water, "Your door is the group of dolls from outside, and I took a look at it from a distance before." What do you say?"

I scratched my head, not knowing how to speak.

The second baby on the side said, "Brother Guoqiang, just say it, I will tell Grandpa Liu what you said." ”

Zhang Huanqing ran out of ink after hearing Erwa's words, and took out the oilcloth-wrapped booklet from the village chief from his arms and put it on the table, "Please ask Grandpa Liu to help me see what is in the picture inside." ”

The second baby picked it up and handed it to Liu Xiucai on the side, and began to gesture in his hand again, Liu Xiucai, who understood the meaning, opened the booklet, but began to read it on the last few pages.

He watched very slowly, and when he finished reading it, he put it down, shaking his head and nodding his head for a while, as if he was flipping through his own memories.

I stared at Liu Xiucai seriously, and I didn't see him say a word for a while.

It seems that he is still too old, and some things are estimated to have been forgotten a long time ago, and he was just thinking about saying goodbye and leaving, when he saw the booklet that Liu Xiucai picked up again and flipped through it.

"It's... This.. I remember, isn't this the kind of corpse fly? He looked a little excited.

I hurriedly asked Erwa to tell him not to let him get too excited, in case something happens, it's not good.

Seeing the gesture of the second baby, Liu Xiucai turned his head and stared at my door for a while before he said slowly, "I don't know what you're doing here, but I advise you not to go to that place." ”

Seeing that I still wanted to continue asking, he interrupted me, "I don't know if you ask me about this, I only know that people call this thing the devil carrion fly, when I was young, a villain in the village brought a group of people, saying that he was going to the mountains to find good things." It didn't take long for only the villain to return, but when he returned, his skin had changed color, and there was a dead rotting fly lying on his lap, and it wasn't long before his mouth, eyes, nose and mouth began to emit green liquid, and he died like that, and after a few days, his body was rotting into a disgusting mess of green water. The human gate said that they were cursed by the evil spirits in the mountains, and that little insect was the messenger of the devil.

I looked at him in surprise, and thought, it seems that there is really an ancient tomb in this mountain, so someone has known about it for a long time, and in such a good feng shui treasure land, it must not be a small tomb.

After Liu Xiucai said this, he ignored me, and had no choice but to leave.

After leaving Liu Xiucai's residence, Zhang Huanqing and I sent the pamphlet back to the village chief and went back to our own residence.

Back at the residence, Zhang Huanqing stared at me, staring at me a little hairy. "You've been here for so long, you don't see anything," he said, a rambling word.

"Uh... What the? What to see? I scratched my head and asked, a little puzzled.

He glared at me, "Don't you know feng shui, I see that you run to the river every day when you get up to look at the mountains opposite, don't you see something?" ”

I was a little embarrassed by what he said, "You look at the eyes are quite sharp." I can see that it will be a little bit when I see it, but I can't be sure."

"After observing this period of time, I think it is very likely that this is the so-called walled situation," I said to him seriously.

He looked at me curiously, "Yuanju? What is that. ”

"Uh... I don't know how to explain it to you, generally speaking, in ancient times, this was a feng shui topography that could revitalize the country, and now there are no countries like in ancient times, so this is probably a feng shui tomb. If you want to know what's there, it's hard to know for sure without looking. I thought about it and told him.

"Heh, it seems that you have really studied this." He smiled.

"Don't talk about me, tell me about you, why did you come here?" I poured a glass of water and looked at him.

"Me? In fact, when I came, I didn't know what the specific task was, and the people who came to me said that it was just a simple protection task, and that there would be money to protect those foreigners who would find things in the mountains, and I didn't want to go, but I changed my mind after he told me where I was going. Zhang Huan said lightly.

I wondered, "Then why did you change your mind?" What the hell do you do? Bodyguard? Can't put! After seeing his strange expression, I suddenly thought of the gold touch talisman on his body, and I couldn't help but ask, "That..." You're not going to be an inverted bucket too. ”

"Yes, even if you have some brains, I'm a grave robber in people's terms, but I don't take on ordinary small jobs." After glancing at me, he continued, "As for why I didn't, I changed my mind, because my second uncle disappeared after coming here." ”
