Chapter 6: The Dead Man's Ditch

"Are you going to Shaanxi, that's right, help me bring a letter over." After Zhang Man, who was on the side, heard Xiaopang's words, he slowly walked over and said something to Xiaopang.

Xiaopang nodded subconsciously, and the nymphomaniac look was obviously attracted by Zhang Man's appearance.

"Hey! Chubby! I yelled loudly in his ear.

"Ahh What's wrong. He was frightened by my voice, and quickly came to his senses and replied.

"You've got all your saliva out." I gave him a blank look and teased.

He quickly reached to his mouth and wiped it, but there was nothing. "Your uncle, bluff me. By the way, this can't be your girlfriend. ”

"It's not!"

"Yes!"

The two voices sounded almost at the same time, of course I said it before, but I didn't expect Zhang Man to say it at this time. The little chubby is a little confused.

"Recklessly, yes?"

"It's not!"

"Yes!"

Again, those two answers rang out at the same time.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you're that, I still don't ask." Chubby sighed helplessly, "By the way, didn't you just say that you wanted to deliver the letter?" Send it there. He continued.

"You wait for me." After finishing speaking, I hurriedly ran back, found the letter paper and pen, and after some simple things on it, I sealed it in an envelope, and when I came out again, Xiaopang stood there stunned, and didn't dare to talk to Zhang Man, the picture was really funny. I walked over to Chubby's side, then handed him the letter I had already written, and then turned my head to look at Zhang Man.

"You sent this letter to the pawnshop in the world on Kaiyuan Road, just say that Miss Zhang asked you to send it." After speaking, Zhang Man took out something that looked like a coin from his body and handed it to Xiaopang, "You show them this, and they will know." ”

Xiaopang took the coin-like thing, looked at it carefully, and on the front of the thing, which looked like a coin, was engraved with the head of an old man, with a full beard, which looked particularly majestic, and when he turned to the back, there was a big character engraved on it. After putting the thing away, Chubby chatted with me for a while before turning to leave.

"He walked on the road for two days, and if he got there, if the letter was sent over smoothly, my father's people would start to send people to find Huanqing and the monkey after receiving the letter, and if they came here after they found it, it was estimated that it would be about half a month and twenty days at most." After returning home, Zhang Man sat down and spoke softly.

I nodded, "All we have to do now is wait." It's not early today, so let's go over there tomorrow and see if there's anything different. ”

"You've lived here for so long and haven't you been there?" Zhang Man looked at me suspiciously and asked.

I shook my head, "No, the old people say it's dangerous, and I was too timid to go when I was a kid." ”

"Danger? What's at stake? Hearing me say that, she was even more curious.

"We see the ten hearts of the day, is in the depths of the mountain, if it is in the past, say that it is not far away, say that it is not close, it can also go over the mountain, but in terms of time and physical strength, it costs more, there is also a road that leads directly to that side, although the road is easy to walk, but it is more dangerous, the older generation of people call that there is a dead man's ditch, whether it is the era of war or ancient times, there have been many people who have died, some people say that there are ghosts there, and there are very many, of course, I don't believe much, But it's true that there are wolves over there, and there are quite a few. I smiled and looked at Zhang Man, "And in that deep mountain, there are all kinds of poisonous snakes and scorpions and the like." ”

"Are there really bugs?" Zhang Man's face was a little ugly and asked.

Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but smile slightly, I didn't expect Zhang Man, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, to also have something to fear.

"Yes, yes, if you don't provoke them, they won't come out."

After the two chatted for a while, my dad came back, today my mom went out to visit relatives, so there are three of us at home, the meal is made by me, the taste is okay, after dinner, I said to my dad, ready to go tomorrow to see, dad agreed, and said to go with me, anyway, there is nothing to do now, stay is stay, it is better to go out for a walk.

The next morning we got up, and after having some breakfast outside, we came back and packed up some necessary things and headed out into the mountains.

The location of the Ten Paths of the Heavenly Heart is at the back of my house, along the uneven road all the way back, which is the position of entering the mountain, and you can also pass by the Yinshan petroglyphs that I took Hou Zifeng to see before. Next to the petroglyphs, there is a canyon inside, both sides of the canyon are very high red stone mountains, after years of rain, those red mountain rocks have become strange shapes, some look scary, but some look quite good.

"Why do you say the rocks of this mountain are red?" Walking in the canyon, Zhang Man looked at the mountains on both sides and asked with some doubts.

I gave her a blank look, "How do I know, how many years has this mountain been here, and it has always been this color." I'm not a geographer. ”

"It's the Dead Man's Ditch not far ahead, so it's all smart." Dad looked at the already dilapidated houses in front of him and said in a deep voice.

It's also the first time I've been here, and I looked at the abandoned houses in front of me and was full of curiosity, "Daddy, don't people say it's scary here, why do people still live here?" ”

He glanced back at me, "Actually, this dead man's ditch wasn't very scary before, people started to say that the four-man ditch was very dangerous only a few decades ago, and I also heard an old man here say it when he was chatting. ”

"Actually, this dead man's ditch, although many people died a long time ago, but there are some people who are not so particular about living here, and there are many animals in the mountains at that time, and many people live here to make a living by hunting, but I don't know what's going on, suddenly one day, those people who live there and have been hunting, all disappeared overnight. And there were some blood stains scattered in the house, and the people were frightened, and after going out to look for them, they found the hunters not far from the ditch, but they were all dead, and their bodies were gnawed by some wild beasts, so that after a while, no one dared to live here, and those houses were abandoned there. Daddy took a deep breath and explained.

"Could it be that someone is trying to kill someone for money?" Zhang Man asked suspiciously.

"Some hunters, what kind of wealth can they have, I don't think it's that simple."
