Young people are easy to do things impulsively, and the other is to save face, people will have such an experience more or less in the process of growing up, the more they are not allowed to do it, the more they have to do it. In fact, Wang Ling was not very willing, and in such a situation he could only follow the poet and Lao Pi down the mountain, which was a flight of steps, but the steps were soon submerged in the low bushes......

Da Zhuang stood on the sentry post and wanted to cry without tears, of course he wanted to chase down, but this rule ......

Soon, the villagers of Xuanwu Island followed, and some angry people began to accuse these unruly young people, but they were helpless, they were like a group of ants without backbone, and they could only hurry. This scene of watching outsiders trespass on the forbidden land quickly turned from helplessness to accusation, and the object of accusation was naturally Da Zhuang who was in charge of the guard, and several girls who followed up because they didn't know what was going on also became the target of public criticism, they were surrounded by groups, and spit and body language flew in front of their eyes.

Lao Xing on Xuanwu Island is a man of his word, and there is also an old man. This old man is the only one on the island who doesn't need to work, people call him Cheng Ye, where did he come from, Da Zhuang said that even he doesn't know. Cheng Ye was there when the first group of people to go to the island to open up the wasteland came, and every morning he would sit on a round stone in front of his house, holding a very quaint compass in his hand, and then staring at the sea in the distance until the sun set.

"That compass is broken." Da Zhuang once said to them: "The pointer can't move, and when I was young, I always liked to follow him and watch, but I never let outsiders touch it." ”

"And what did he eat before you came?" In Lao Pi's impression, there was indeed an old man with gray hair sitting there halfway up the island, and he always thought it was someone's old man.

"I don't know," Da Zhuang shook his head and said: "When I first came, I heard that some tools were given by Cheng Ye, and Lao Xing went back to inquire about him, and there seems to be no follow-up, considering that he is very likely to be the aboriginal of the island, so he also regarded him as an old-timer." Don't look at him old, his eyes are bright, and his appetite is good. ”

"How old are you?" Wang Ling said curiously: "Then he doesn't have any other family members?" ”

"I don't know," Da Zhuang hesitated for a while and said: "But there is an old fort in front of his house, and there are a lot of marks on that Fortress Mountain, I heard them say that every year that passes, that Fortress Mountain will be slashed by Cheng Ye, and the year before last, I was also curious to count it once, and there were a total of one hundred and eight marks on it." ”

When the poet heard this, he immediately got up from the ground and said, "Isn't it, that old man is one hundred and eight years old?" It doesn't look like it! ”

"The person didn't say that the previous marks were also drawn by him!" Lao Pi secretly wondered at that time, when he was free, he must go to meet the legendary Cheng Ye for a while.

The islanders who had no way could only watch those bastards gallop all the way down, they were talking nonsense, some people said that they should take the opportunity to chase down, and some people put forward the opposite opinion that they should wait until Lao Xing came back to discuss.

"Still waiting for Lao Xing?" The notoriously short-tempered blacksmith in the village roared: "When Lao Xing comes back, the daylilies will be cold, and God knows what those outsiders will do." After that, he was about to go down, but Da Zhuang grabbed his clothes and said back: "Brother blacksmith, we have all sworn that whoever wants to go down will be cut off." ”

"At this time and that time," the blacksmith refused, still intending to arrest people, and the two argued more and more, so that later Da Zhuang was also annoyed, holding the 38 big cover against the blacksmith, it seemed that the conflict was about to break out. Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Doctor Jia said in another village: "Don't quarrel, since we can't make up our minds, we don't know what the situation is in the back mountain, in short, everyone is abiding by a rule that they are not allowed to go, and it is better to send a few people to guard here, and the others will go back with me to ask Cheng Ye, if there will be a big mess, then it is not too late to chase people again, this island is not big, where can their children toss?" ”

This Jia Shen Doctor's name is Jia Gui, a part-time barefoot doctor on the island, who knows some earthworks, to put it bluntly, he is a Tulangzhong, everyone has a headache and brain fever is basically solved by him, which is a bit thin.

This method seems to be the most suitable at the moment, and the group is bustling to find Cheng Ye. Normally, Cheng Ye will enter the house after dark, and will not come out until dawn the next day, but this day is very abnormal, when they go far away, they noticed that there is a trace of fire at the door of Cheng Ye's house, and when they get closer, they find that Cheng Ye is sitting on the round stone at the door, and there is a simple small bowl with a blue pattern wide mouth and shallow bottom at his feet, and there is a burning lamp twist on the edge of the bowl.

This kind of bowl is called an oil bowl, and in the past, kerosene was relatively scarce in the countryside, so some people used other grease instead for lighting. And its more well-known identity is also called the ever-bright lamp, which is used to be placed under the coffin of the dead to illuminate the Huangquan Road, so at first glance, everyone was stunned when Cheng Ye lit such a lamp, and then saw the old man sitting on the cobblestone hanging his body and drooping his head without moving, and an inexplicable ominous premonition began to surge into Doctor Jia's heart.

"Cheng Ye?" Doctor Jia tentatively stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

There was no response, Doctor Jia turned his head to look at the others and shouted again, but there was still no response. Now Doctor Jia was a little flustered, could it be that Cheng Ye had already ...... Thinking about this layer, he slowly stretched out his hand and put his fingers under Cheng Ye's nose to talk about breathing, and suddenly, Cheng Ye raised his head suddenly, and his eyes stared at the Jia Divine Doctor in front of him......

This time it was really frightening, and Doctor Jia finally came to his senses and slowly got up a little embarrassed: "Old man...... Why haven't you slept so late......"

Cheng Ye was still staring at him, that feeling made Doctor Jia very scared, this eccentric old man never seemed to communicate with people much, except for Lao Xing and the woman who brought him food every day, it was a woman they "picked up" from the sea. Doctor Jia was very uncomfortable stared at by this gaze, but there was another cadre waiting for him behind him, so he chewed his tongue and asked stubbornly: "I want to ask Cheng Ye about something, there are three educated youths running in at the back of the island, will something go wrong?" ”

The old man seemed to be like he was air, still maintaining his previous gaze, Doctor Jia asked twice but didn't even get a good face, and he was a little scared in his heart, so he was about to retreat, at this time, Cheng Ye suddenly opened his throat and muttered something in a language they didn't understand at all.

Although Cheng Ye has been living with everyone on the island for a long time, most people have never communicated with him, and like Doctor Jia, everyone has heard him speak for the first time, where is this dialect? Big guys, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are completely overwhelmed.

"Hey!" The blacksmith Hu dragged Doctor Jia and said: "Don't talk nonsense with him, if he can understand something, it's strange, a crazy old man, according to my opinion, hurry up and chase over, the big guys are all following me, in a word, something happened, my blacksmith was the first to stand up!" ”

His incitement was really effective, and some young people on the island immediately began to be lively, they were actually the same as Lao Pi, everyone was full of curiosity about the so-called forbidden area, how could they let go of such an opportunity, not to mention that there were people taking the lead! So a group of people were ready to pull out, and at this moment, Cheng Ye suddenly changed his language and said slowly: "You will all stay here honestly tonight, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

If Doctor Jia was released, he hurriedly went to call for Blacksmith Hu to come back, it was difficult to turn back from this work, where was Blacksmith Hu willing to listen in his heart, at this moment, there was a sudden sharp scream from the seaside, as soon as this cry appeared, Blacksmith Hu immediately stopped. A black shadow flew to the abandoned cross on the island, pecking at the wood on the shelf from time to time, making a "knock knock" sound.

"It's it! How did it come! People suddenly exclaimed, Rao is blacksmith didn't dare to mess around at the moment, why?

It turned out that I don't know what year it was, but a big black bird flew around, some of which looked like crows but were much larger than crows. Every time it came, it would have to stay on the cross, and it would not be long before someone would die on the island, and it would gradually become a kind of hoodoo, and people privately rumored that it was a mourning bird. Even when Lao Xing was there, he would frown when he saw this bird, its appearance made the atmosphere of the scene a little more weird, could it be that those young people were going to be gone forever?
