Xiao Erjian was still carefully examining the horses' palms and hooves. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info beckoned a few people to sit down on the horse pier together, and continued: "I heard the old man say that thirty years ago, a merchant who sold porcelain bowls and magnetic discs passed by here and stayed in the inn at that time. This merchant was a traveler from the north who specialized in selling dishes to the south. On that day, I broke the wheel on the road, so I was delayed and missed the inn where I usually rested. He has a tall and burly figure peculiar to northerners, with a bearded face, and when he speaks like a giant bell, he is extremely bold. The most peculiar thing about this person is that he has six fingers on both hands. In general, it is very rare for a person to have six fingers on one hand, and it is extremely rare for someone like him to have six fingers on both hands. When he went to the town's inn at that time, it was already getting dark. ”

"Is the inn at that time where we sit now?" Hua Chan asked.

"No, the inn was now in ruins and overgrown with weeds in the middle of what is now the town. At that time, it was on the edge of the town, and after decades of changes, as the population of the town increased, more and more houses were built, and it was originally the outermost inn in the town, and now it is in the middle of the town. At that time, the innkeeper was surnamed Gongsun, who was generous, benevolent, and belonged to the local famous good people at that time. Xiao Er said.

"Yes, the passage of time can indeed change everything, the child's face becomes gray hair, the small tree becomes ancient ginseng, and the river becomes mulberry field, all of which are masterpieces of time." Shen Yu said with a sigh.

Xiao Er looked at him and continued: "The merchant who sells dishes learned about this when he heard the gossip of the locals during the meal. He disapprovingly said that this kind of legend was just a false rumor, and it was not enough to believe it. Our local people, naturally, expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that he had not been there, how did they know that it was fake? ”

The merchant said: "Many things are just said by people who have been falsely told a lot, and there are many people who have listened to them, so naturally they will be repeatedly talked about by ten or ten hundreds." In fact, it is a very common thing, and it is said a lot by people who are suspicious, and in the end, it will artificially give those things that are originally normal put on a mysterious and terrifying coat. ”

A local middle-aged man, who is also an expert at lifting the bar, saw that he despised this matter so much, so he choked him slowly: "Look at you are also such a big man, it is useless to talk with your bare mouth, if you don't believe it, if you are not convinced, and you have the ability, you can go to that cemetery tonight, count those graves clearly, and come back to tell us, we will naturally obey you, otherwise, you don't want to break around here." I think you're really an old lady catching lice--- how many do you know? ”

When the shopkeeper saw that the two of them were on the bar, he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and said the words of the round field: "Wu Laoer, Wu stammered, you probably drank a little too much today, hurry up and go home, go to your mother-in-law's to report, lest after a while, seeing that you don't go back, she is coming again with a small tree stick, and chasing you home like a duck." ”

In the good-natured laughter of everyone, the shopkeeper of Gongsun looked at Wu Laoer, who was usually good, and made a look. He continued, "This guest officer, Wu Lao Er just came up with a moment of alcohol, and he said some drunken words, don't take it seriously, he is this virtuous person, he loves to lift the bar all his life, and he is to lift the death bar, you don't pay attention to him." ”

There were already people on the side who liked to watch the excitement and coaxed, and one person shouted: "Second child, what's going on today, why are the two bowls of wine in the stomach, and even the stammering is driven away by the wine worms." This guest from afar, people look at him as a knowledgeable person, you, don't raise the bar with him, the bar can't be barred, or hurry home, lest your mother-in-law and others will come and give you an ugly look. ”

The shopkeeper of Gongsun, seeing that someone was speaking at this time, hurriedly said: "It's you Li Dazui, who talks a lot, beware that at night, Lord Yama sent black and white impermanence and dragged your tongue away." ”

The one who was called Wu by the Gongsun shopkeeper was originally small with the shopkeeper and Li Dazui, and when the Gongsun shopkeeper said it, he secretly thought that this matter was originally a strange thing, and it would not be a good thing to talk too much. Just about to get up, by the way, cheeky, Lai said that today's wine money, on credit. Who knew that he was choked by Li's mouth, and his eyes were stirred up again.

"Those who go south and north, again, again, what's the matter, those who go south and north are, just, must be knowledgeable? There are more bragging people. If you have the ability, who will count, count, count the graves of the 'mass graves', I, I, I, I will be served, yes, he, no, no one who has that ability, if you try to stay at home in the future, try to stay at home as much as possible, and come out less to blow, ah blow, ah, ah brag. Provoked by Li's big mouth, Wu stammered and became excited, and in the end, he stammered uncontrollably.

Most of the people knew about his stuttering problem, and Li Dazui deliberately provoked him, knowing that he would stutter uncontrollably when he was excited.

The guest who sold dishes was not a frivolous person, but when he suddenly saw that his stutter had reached the realm of stumbling, he couldn't hold it back, laughed "fluttering", and squirted out a sip of wine.

People, it's just weird. Usually, no matter how the shopkeeper Gongsun and Li Dazui ridiculed, Wu stammered but was not angry. But under the smile of the stranger, this Wu stammered and couldn't hold it on his face. snapped out the wine money and slapped it on the table, his face flushed: "Look, look at your big one, a child, it is estimated that you are also strong outside and inside, inside the food, you have the ability, you go to put, put, count the graves, there is no that, that ability, just go home and take the child." Laugh, laugh, laugh what laugh. At the end of the speech, he was speechless, and his face was flushed.

Often, the more people who stutter, the more they want to express themselves clearly, but the more they can't express them.

That Li Dazui, although he likes to see him stammer, and often deliberately teases him. But seeing him so ugly, it was not his intention, and seeing him make a fool of himself in front of outsiders, he was even more sorry in his heart, after all, he was small and had deep feelings. He hurriedly hugged Wu Jieba's waist, and together with the shopkeeper Gongsun, he dragged Wu Jieba out with a hug. The shopkeeper of Gongsun even stammered Wu while constantly complaining and counting Li Dazui, scolding him for being born with a cheap mouth and a stinky mouth, which was very bad.

Everyone felt embarrassed when they saw Wu stammering and leaving angrily, so they dispersed early.

Who knows, that businessman is also an extremely competitive person, because he also felt that he was unintentionally spraying wine at that time, some of which made the middle-aged man who stopped Wu stammering unable to control his face. However, the words that Wu stammered when he left also made him unable to get off the stage. He thought to himself that he had to earn back face.

Usually walking a lot at night, plus he was naturally bold, and after drinking alcohol, he held back his strength, so the merchant who sold dishes took off the burden on his cart in the middle of the night, picked up hundreds of small bowls and walked alone to the 'mass grave' that everyone said. He does not believe in evil and is bent on proving with his actions that the 'mass graves' that discourage those people are nothing more than the psychology of those cowards who spread false rumors. He will go back tomorrow morning and bring those people over to see how many of these graves there are, each of which has a bowl knocking. He thought to himself, this small bowl, if not five hundred, but more than four hundred, tomorrow morning, he will convince those people.

He did not listen to those who he thought were cowards and watched the grave from the mountain, but carried his burden and walked from the foot of the mountain to the grave.

The next day, the guy at the shop saw that he hadn't come out of the guest room for breakfast, thinking that he might have been tired yesterday, and he had drunk a little more wine, so it was normal to get up late, so he didn't care. Who knew that at noon, he still didn't come out, so he went to talk to the shopkeeper Gongsun.

The shopkeeper of Gongsun hurriedly followed his men to find a few townspeople and came to the door of his guest room. It has always been one person for private and two for the public. The shopkeeper knocked on the door, but there was no answer, and the man knocked on the door again, calling him loudly, but no one in the house answered. The shopkeeper panicked, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door, but the door was actually empty, and it was opened with a squeak. A few people walked into the house and saw that there was no trace of anyone.

Several people ran to the backyard in a hurry, and saw that his cart and horses were there, but the flat pole that was placed on the cart when he was in the store yesterday was gone, and there were obvious traces of moving bowls on the cart.

The shopkeeper panicked at once. This person, who was still drinking and eating in the store last night, raised the bar, why disappeared the next day, and the clothes and packages in the guest room were still there, although he had an extra eye just now, and found a few people to testify, but a big living person disappeared from the store out of thin air for no reason, which is still a responsibility that he can't shirk.

The shopkeeper is usually very good, and after a while, he will find a dozen idlers in the town and help them look around. After an hour, the guest was still not found. The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that he and Wu stammered last night, and secretly thought: Oh no, he won't really go where he shouldn't go, right? Didn't he want to use a bowl to calculate how many graves there were? Thinking of this, he was quite sure that the merchant must have gone to that place.

He told a dozen people about it. Since the 'mass grave' has not been visited for many years, it has become a taboo name for the locals. Therefore, as soon as everyone heard that the owner of the Gongsun shopkeeper asked everyone to go to the 'bowl grave' to find someone, some people looked embarrassed.

People are always curious, yearning or in awe of those unknown things. Usually, one or two people don't dare to go, but now more than a dozen people go together in broad daylight, and they are emboldened by each other. In addition, a few young juniors, before, had only heard from the elders that they had never been there, and they were only a little suspicious about this matter. Usually just hold the mentality of not causing trouble, but today people are more courageous, and there are enough reasons and excuses, so after the initial slight scruples, there are a few good things to add, curiosity, and finally overcome fear. There were many people coaxing together, and everyone picked up the sticks and hoes, and walked towards the 'mass grave' together.
