The news of ghosts spread quickly among us. Everyone stared at the pit in front of them, and they were all a little uneasy.

The fifth uncle looked at us with hatred. said: "When I came out to break into the world, what evil things have I not seen? Don't be afraid, tonight I will keep vigil, you sleep well, I don't believe anything can happen. ”

The fifth uncle is the old Jianghu and the backbone of us. He personally kept vigil, and everyone was naturally much more relieved.

On this day, we were in a hurry to leave the hill, and we actually walked more than ten miles than usual. But ten miles away, it was still wilderness. We had to be like a few days ago. He picked up a lot of dry wood and built a bonfire.

I noticed that there wasn't much dry wood in this place.

Evening came quickly. Everyone was tired and hungry, lying on the ground and sleeping. The fifth uncle leaned against a dirt slope and looked at us with a tired expression.

Although we call him Fifth Uncle, we all know that he is old and not suitable for this kind of long-distance travel.

Soon, I saw the fifth uncle start to doze off.

I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep. So he stared at the dark sky in a daze.

The moon is like a moon cake, and I don't know who bites it. Stars are like sesame seeds, although they are small, but if there are more of them. It can also fill the stomach.

I was staring at the sky in a daze when I suddenly heard a rustling sound around me.

I saw the bolt slowly crawl up from the ground. He seemed to want to get up, but he didn't succeed.

He slowly crawled to the fire. I saw the beads of sweat on his face falling like soybeans in the firelight.

I was startled and quickly turned my head to look at him.

Even then, I didn't lift up. Because every time you stand up, you have to spend a lot of strength. Along the way, I've become pretty savvy.

I lay on the ground and looked at him with my eyes fixed on me.

The eye socket of the emboli? Make move. The two eyes were pitch black. He obviously saw me. Then he smiled weakly at me: "Hehe, I'm hungry, find a saliva pad." "The Yard Pit.

I nodded and closed my eyes. Now I feel like it's a waste of effort to keep my eyes open.

The behavior of the plug is not strange, we are struggling with food and clothing all year round, everyone knows a truth, when you are hungry, you will drink water. There's nothing nutritious about this stuff. But filling the stomach at least makes the body comfortable.

I waited with my eyes closed for a while, but I couldn't hear the bolt anymore.

I opened my eyes strangely and saw the bolt lying on the ground asleep. I sighed, a little envious of him in my heart, it was good to fall asleep, and when I fell asleep, I didn't know that I was hungry.

When I thought about this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. The face of the plug rushed down, and half of the head was arched in the loess, who would sleep in this position? Aren't you afraid of holding your breath?

Suddenly, I remembered the popular legend among the villagers. Lord Yama has come to arrest people.

I'm not convinced by this statement, but in this environment, it's better to believe what you have than what you don't have. My body tensed and I lay straight on the ground.

I squinted and looked around. The night breeze blows the bonfire, and the flames shake back and forth. The shadow of the bolt jumped back and forth on the ground, as if it had come to life again.

Suddenly, a few clods of dirt fell beside me. My heart moved: We lie in the wilderness, how can clods of earth fall from the sky?

I quickly closed my eyes. Don't move and don't dare to move.

After a few seconds, another clod of dirt landed next to me. I still don't move.

Then, I heard a slight rustle. I squinted my eyes and looked around. I saw two men all dressed in black, their hair was scattered, they were naked, and their torsos were painted with strange patterns of dark red.

One of them was holding a hemp rope made of dead grass in his hand, and in the other hand he was flipping through a booklet.

I was shocked: Is it really a little ghost in the underworld, arresting people according to the roster?

The two ghosts came to us in a hurry. Then go one by one.

After a few seconds, they walked up to me. I quickly closed my eyes, nervous and did not dare to move.

Then, I felt a hand fall on my face. I suddenly felt my scalp tingle, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in an instant.

Immediately, the hand was removed from me.

Then, I heard a rustling sound. Immediately after, there were footsteps and slowly left.

After a while, I dared to open my eyes slowly. At this time, I realized that the plug was gone. In the distance, several figures were disappearing into the darkness. Look, it was the two little ghosts, tied the neck of the bolt with hemp rope, and walked forward with a tug.

I slowly got up from the ground, hesitating whether to wake up the fifth uncle.

If it had been before, I would have called him up and told him what had happened in horror. But now I'm hesitating.

The fifth uncle is a very tough person, otherwise, he would not have survived the great famine. If I sue him, and I see the little ghost taking people, he will definitely scold me, saying that I disturb the morale of the army.

What's more, I really want to figure out the two little ghosts of guò, find out the news of the bull head and horse noodles, and see what they are from.

Thinking of this layer, I was bold enough to follow the figures from a distance.

The two imps were not going to have an easy time, because they had to carry the corpse of the bolt. I didn't dare to come closer, for fear that they would notice and take me away.

After a while, they turned a hill and disappeared behind it.

I hurriedly followed, and when I turned the hill, I couldn't find the shadow of the imp.

I rubbed my eyes and looked around. Nothing.

I muttered to myself, "Have you already taken it to the Netherworld?" ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard the voices of several children, and they read in unison: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......

The child's voice was immature, and the sound of reading was sent by the night wind, and I could hear it clearly.

But it was the sound of reading that scared me out of a cold sweat. Within a few miles, there were no people. Who endorses in this wilderness? And in the middle of the night, where did so many children come from?

My back was a little cold, and I knew in my heart that I guess I had met a ghost.

But I'm here tonight for the ghosts. Since these ghosts are reading, they should not be evil ghosts. I pretended to be an ignorant child and asked them for some information, and they should not embarrass me.

I followed the sound, walked down the hill, turned around, and saw a fire in the distance, an old man, teaching a group of children to read.

I was puzzled and scared. So he walked over slowly.

After a while, the old man stood up and said to the children, "The words of the saints must be heard. Self-cultivation and family, governing the country and leveling the world. You are still young, and the first thing you need to do is to cultivate yourself. Do you understand? ”

The children said in unison, "Understood." ”

The old man said again: "You are all the disciples of the saints, you must achieve self-cultivation when you are young, and when you grow up, you must join the family, and you must rule the country and the world." Do you understand? ”

The children said in unison, "Understood." When we grow up, we will assist the king, and we will never allow such famines again. ”

They answered very neatly, and it was evident that they had memorized all the words they had spoken every day.

At this time, the old man held the book in his arms: "Okay. Now it's time to eat. ”

Only then did I realize that there was another fire not far from the old man. Two adults, busy at the campfire.

When they saw that the old man had finished teaching, they stood up and said respectfully, "Teacher, the meal is ready." ”

The old man nodded, and then the children lined up, each with a broken bowl to serve the meal.

I smelled the smell of rice, and I forgot to be afraid. I couldn't help but walk towards those people.

The old man spotted me right away. "Where are you from?" he asked. ”

I was speechless. The old man sighed: "It is estimated that he is also a child who escaped from the famine, are you literate?" ”

I nodded.

The old man said, "Then you can memorize the three-character scripture and listen to it." ”

I cried out in my heart: who would carry this thing? I searched my stomach and thought about a few words: At the beginning of people, sex is good, sex is similar, Xi is far away, no teaching, sex is migration......

I can't pick up the rest, what kind of teacher is lazy, but the three migrations are messily memorized.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the pot, and said, "Go and serve a bowl of rice." ”
