Looking at the clean sheets, I felt a little guilty in my heart, and I always felt that I shouldn't have trusted Daochang Li so much before. But even with this thought, I still don't trust Daochang Li.

So when I saw him limping into the back bed with a new pillow, I felt very conflicted.

After all, when the master came back with a human skin tambourine, the defensive attitude he showed to Daochang Li left a deep impression on my heart.

Li Daochang took away the dirty sheets and dirty pillows and left, during which he didn't say a word, which made me feel more and more ashamed.

It wasn't until he stepped out of the logistics gate that he turned his head and shouted at us: "Go to sleep, Master Chai should come back after a while." ”

After saying that, he left, leaving me to stand by the bed for a long time.

After several days of hard work, and my spirit was tense, this time I fell asleep almost instantly as soon as I lay on the bed, smelling the faint fragrance of the quilt and pillow.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, but when I wake up, it's still bright, and I don't know if it's not yet night, or if I've slept all day and night.

When I opened my eyes, Master was sitting in a chair, smoking a dry cigarette slowly, his eyes looking out the door, as if he was preoccupied.

Probably hearing my voice as I got up, Master spat out a puff of smoke, turned his head and smiled at me, "Wake up?" ”

I had just woken up, my head was still a little dazed, and while rubbing the back of my head, I asked my master, "Master, when did you come back?" ”

Master glanced at Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang, who were asleep, and said to me with a smile: "I came back yesterday afternoon, and I was embarrassed to wake you up when I saw the three of you snoring like thunder." ”

That's when I realized that the three of us had slept all day.

At the same time, I found that the black box containing the human skin and hand bones was gone, and I couldn't help but ask my master, "Where is the box?" ”

When I asked this, the smile on Master's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a very worried expression.

After a while, the master sighed and said, "I don't need it, Huang Qixiao ran away." ”

"Huang Qixiao?" I wondered.

The master took a puff of smoke before continuing: "It's the old lady of the Huang family." I've gone to see the hole you dug under his house, and I've been to the pool of blood. Fifty years ago, when the old Huang family set up a bloody array, I also knew about it, but I didn't expect them to spread the array so evilly, and they all ended up together, this is a formation that will never recover. ”

I was still concerned about the question just now: "Old lady Huang ran away, what's the matter, Master?" ”

The master shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "Huang Qixiao is a person who is naturally psychic, and he can not know many things. I feel that he probably feels that the old Huang family is about to be in trouble, some of his actions during this time are very unreasonable, I have known him for decades, and I don't know what he is thinking now, as for why he is running, I can't say why. ”

After saying this, the master was silent for a while, and then said, "But when Huang Qixiao left, he left with a yin and yang drum, and he may have wanted to enter the evil tomb. ”

"I think that when Old Lady Huang went to Baishuidu with the Yin and Yang Drum, he had plans to enter the evil tomb."

Behind me, the voice of Liang Houzai suddenly appeared.

When I looked back, I saw that Liang Houzai had already dressed, and Liu Shangang also sat up from the bed sleepily.

My master also glanced at Liang Houzai, and then nodded: "There is such a possibility, but there is a great monk Chengyun watching over at Baishuidu, so there shouldn't be any problems." ”

I asked Master again, "By the way, Master, did Senior Brother Bao tell you, we found another nameplate engraved with the word 'burial' in a dark well." ”

"I've told me everything you've experienced in the past two days," Master replied while smoking a cigarette, "In the pool of blood, I also saw the bodies of Huang Changping and Huang Changgui, and now I should bury the two of them." The matter of the evil tomb seems to have some connection with the group of people who appeared in the tomb of the dragon king, but at present, it is difficult to say whether this is a coincidence or not. There are Dao, Houzai, and Fat Dun, the three of you pack up and follow me to Baishuidu. ”

Liu Shangang was still in a daze just now, as soon as he heard my master say that he was going to Baishuidu, he put on his clothes with a brush, I may be a bit exaggerated when I say this, but his speed is really very fast, I have never seen a person put on clothes so quickly.

And after he got dressed, he folded his quilt very quickly, and after folding, he specially flattened the surface and corners of the quilt, so that the quilt became angular, like a tofu block.

The master glanced at Liu Shangang, smiled and said, "Well, it has been useful to follow the bag in the past few years, and the fat dun can be regarded as practiced." Okay, you guys come with me to Huang Changsheng's house for a good meal, let's eat and drink enough, and go to Baishuidu to chat with the great monk Chengyun. ”

As he spoke, Master had already stood up and walked outside.

When I passed by the entrance of the ancestral hall, I saw a soul sealing talisman pasted on the sleeping lion's face, and Li Daochang was squatting next to the stone lion, holding a notebook and a pen, and was very careful to draw down the soul sealing talisman.

When my master walked past Li Daochang, he hurriedly carried the notebook in his arms.

Master smiled, didn't say anything, and led us out of the ancestral hall.

When we came to Huang Changsheng's house, Huang Changrong and Huang Yulian were also there, both of them had heavy faces, Huang Yulian only helped open the door when we entered, and Huang Changrong kept sitting at the dining table, drinking alone.

Master walked up to Huang Changrong and patted Huang Changrong on the shoulder, while Huang Changrong sighed but didn't say anything.

After that, Master took the three of us to a seat, and he pointed to the food on the table and said to us, "Hurry up and eat, and we'll leave in a while." ”

As soon as my master finished speaking, Liu Shangang picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, he took a bowl of rice, sandwiched a large number of vegetables into his bowl, and then began to devour them.

This time it makes me look stupid, I remember that Liu Shangang used to eat carefully and slowly, how did he become like this today.

The master probably couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to Liu Shangang: "Don't be in such a hurry, you eat slowly." ”

Liu Shangang nodded, but the speed of eating did not slow down at all.

My master shook his head helplessly, and also picked up a pair of chopsticks to eat.

Liang Houzai and I didn't dare to wait any longer, just look at the eating appearance of my master and Liu Shangang, if the two of us don't move the chopsticks anymore, there will be nothing to eat soon.

When we were eating, Huang Changrong and Huang Yulian didn't move their chopsticks, Huang Changrong was just drinking white wine in a small cup, and Huang Yulian was looking at the dishes on the table in a daze, with a worried face.

Halfway through the meal, Huang Changsheng came back, and he asked my master if he had anything to prepare, and my master just said that he should just let him watch it, and he was more familiar with the place in Baishuidu than us.

After that, Huang Changsheng called Huang Yulian to go together, and when it was dusk, when the sky began to turn red, Huang Changsheng's father and daughter came back, this time they came, and one of them carried a huge rucksack.

Huang Changrong also took a backpack out of the back room and said to my master, "Master Chai, should we leave now, or wait a little longer?" ”

"What are you waiting for?" My master said, "The three of you are ready, how dare I wait any longer." Okay, let's go first, it's all at this point, it seems that there is no way to come and join us when the bag is useful. ”

Listening to what my master meant, Senior Brother Bao was originally going to Baishuidu.

As the master spoke, he stood up and said, "Just let you stay in the village, Huangjiazhuang really needs someone to keep an eye on." ”

Huang Changsheng said with an embarrassed expression: "Otherwise, let's wait a little longer, right?" ”

My master waved his hand: "No need, it's useful as I said before, if he can't come before four o'clock, he won't be able to come, you see what time it is now." "As he spoke, my master's front foot had already stepped out of the door.

Liu Shangang, who was next to me, glanced at his watch, and I saw the hour hand on the dial at a glance, and it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

The ferry from Huangjiazhuang to Baishuidu takes about half an hour, and when we arrived at the ferry, the moon and the sun appeared at the same end of the sky at the same time in summer.

The entire sky dome was still glowing with a trace of fire on one side, and the scattered stars could already be faintly seen on the other side.

When Huang Changsheng led us up to the small wharf made of old wood, several pairs of feet stepped on it, making a burst of "squeak" sounds, and on both sides of the river opposite the wharf, there were large reed fields.

A small boat is tied to the pier, this boat is not the small wooden boat that Old Lady Huang used to cross the river, but a fishing boat with an engine, from time to time from the board of the boat emitted a somewhat pungent fishy smell, and on the bow there is a net for fishing and a fish that has just died.

Huang Yulian jumped on the boat, turned back to Huang Changsheng and said, "The fish is dead." ”

Huang Changsheng nodded and beckoned us to get on the boat.

The fishing boat was not big, but it was enough to take the rest of us, Huang Changrong untied the rope of the boat, pulled the engine at the stern, and with a disturbing "sudden" sound, the fishing boat started on the not very wide river.

Except for the sound of the engine and the occasional splash of the river, the river seemed unusually calm, and no one on the boat spoke, and there was an irritating depression in the air.

The summer days tend to get very stubborn towards the end of the night, and after twenty minutes the boat finally reaches the destination of the trip through a wall of reeds, and by this time the sky is still not completely dark.
