Chapter 4: Haunting

The old man's home is in Gushan Village, he also rides a small electric car, for the sake of safety, we let him walk in front, Wang Changxing and I sat on the motorcycle with guns and followed, we were afraid that the old man would come to the village and call someone to beat us, so we did not relax for a moment.

It wasn't until we arrived at the old man's house that we were relieved that he lived alone, and that the four small two-story buildings on the bottom should be deserted before we arrived. The old man laughed at himself and said that he only had two daughters, both of whom were married to the city, and he was not used to living in the city buildings.

The old man, in order to clarify his words, went to the back room and took out the pages, and we took out the diary and flipped it on the table for comparison. It's really not better than not knowing, and I'm more frightened. The "comparison" here means contrast, which is the comparison between the diary and the old man's pages, and as a result, the diary and the pages are almost the same in terms of format, paper, ink color of the words written, and the degree of age.

We don't believe that there will be such a coincidence in the world, and we have compared it several times, and even the edges of the torn pages are correct, and we can also be right, these pages hidden by the old man are indeed torn from the diary that Lao Cai picked up!

However, the contents of the diary were all written, and the old man's pages were filled with simple drawings, and there was a picture of several mountains. Even the edge of this page is in perfect harmony with the traces in the diary, this page is originally behind the story about Liu Er, if this picture is not torn off, it will be easy for us to find Gushan here!

Everyone stood in front of the table, you look at me, I look at you, and then at the diary and a few pages of torn paper on the table, our faces were full of doubts, and the old man looked at us with a smile.

"Hahaha......" Lao Cai suddenly laughed, we looked at him, and we all laughed, and everyone laughed for a while before stopping.

As the saying goes, "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, you have a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and you can laugh at the enmity and hatred", these sayings can just be used on us.

We confronted the old man in the mountains, and we used shotguns, but we didn't know each other if we didn't fight; Because Lao Cai picked up a broken diary at the acquisition station, we robbers and tomb guards met together, if it weren't for this diary, I'm afraid that we are already in the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau now, and now everyone can stand together and laugh, isn't it fate to meet thousands of miles away? As for the grudge and grudge, we and the old man did not have any deep hatred, but because of the grave digging, and now because of the coincidence of the diary, we have not only eliminated the misunderstanding, we also have fate, this is what we met together in the dark, everyone's original estrangement, and passed by with a smile.

The lights are not picked up, and the words are not clear. We introduced each other to the old man, the old man's surname is Liu, and we will call him Lao Liu Tou.

Old Liu Tou put away a few pages, saw that we were covered in dirt and sweat, and hurriedly beckoned us to take a bath, and he was busy cutting watermelons himself.

When we cleaned up, Lao Liu Tou not only prepared clothes for us, but also prepared wine and rice, we worked in the middle of the night, and then Lao Liu Tou scared a guy, at this time we were really tired and hungry, we were not welcome, sat down to eat and chat.

What we are most concerned about is how did Old Man Liu know that we were digging graves in the mountains? What's the deal with the torn paper out of his diary?

Old Liu Tou explained to us that this was the case.

Liu Er in the diary is the grandfather of the old Liu Tou, he disappeared from Henan after he took revenge, he took his family and money outside in a big circle, and finally returned to Gushan Village. This is Liu Er's hometown, the big landlord is not far from here, and the male of the big landlord's family was buried by Liu Er in this Han tomb in the ancient mountain, that is, the tomb where we dug the robbery hole, everything is the same as recorded in the diary.

The reason why Liu Er came back was that he mainly came back to continue looking for the night pearl, and because the owner of the cottage had surrendered to the Kuomintang, Liu Er made too many mistakes and ran away for fear of trouble. When he was wandering around the country, he heard that the owner of Dazhai had become a senior official of the Kuomintang, and he felt that he had a backer, so he returned to his hometown.

But just when Liu Er was about to dig the grave to find the night pearl, he was still arrested by the Kuomintang. At that time, Lao Liutou's father was young and strong, but Liu Er didn't let him do it, and Lao Liu Tou was still young at that time, so he put this matter down. When the owner of the village heard that Liu Er had been arrested, he moved up and down for a while, and Liu Er was only sentenced to a few years in prison.

When Liu Er came out, the Japanese devils had entered China, and Gushan became a military camp for the little devils. Liu Er couldn't do it anymore, he wrote a diary at home every day to pass the time, and the old Liu Tou, who was still a child, followed his grandfather every day to read and write.

Liu Er actually recorded the ancient tomb he found when he wandered around a few years ago, in order to hide people's eyes, he wrote a story for the first time, and the "Liu Er" in the story was of course his random name, and we had no way of knowing his real name, and the old Liu Tou did not report it, so we still called him "Liu Er".

The first part of the diary is a story, and the following articles are written as travelogues, and there is no mention of the ancient tombs in the travelogue, Liu Er drew sketches behind each travelogue, and the travelogues and sketches can be combined to find the ancient tombs. After writing it, Liu Er was afraid that this diary would be taken out by others to see Ni Duan, so he tore up the sketch and saved it, and put the diary in the box.

There was a big traitor in Qianzhou City, he raided his home under the pretext of Liu Er's antiques, and the box containing the diary was also pulled away. Since then, the diary and the pages inside have been separated, and they have not met until today.

The few pages torn out of the diary were left in Liu's second-hand, and he must have passed them on to the old Liu. As for what happened to the diary that was copied by the traitor, we don't know. Whether anyone has carefully studied the first story in the diary is even more unknown, or if someone reads this story and comes to search for treasure like us, we dare not imagine it. Since we can find the ancient tomb by mistake, let alone some masters, as for the ancient tomb has not been dug up, it is still a mystery, this has to wait for Lao Liu Tou to explain.

Until one day, the diary was quietly sold to the peddler in a pile of rags, and the peddler sold it to the buying station, and the old money rummaged through the pile of old books......

The Japanese devils stayed in Gushan for eight years, and when the little devils surrendered, the Kuomintang took over here, and Gushan became a Kuomintang military camp again. When it came to the Huaihai War, the fight here was called a lively, the People's Liberation Army almost completely annihilated the enemy in the mountains, it is said that it was winter, and the blood shed by people formed a thick layer of blood ice on the mountain.

Liu Er saw that you sang and I appeared on the stage in the ancient mountains, and changed people like watching the lights, he couldn't help it, he didn't dare to find someone to fight with them in open fire, this was no longer the time for him to be majestic, and he couldn't afford to provoke anyone. Liu Er was in a hurry, fell seriously ill, and soon died. Before he died, Liu Er left a wish to his children and grandchildren, hoping that they could find the Night Pearl and put it in his coffin, so that the Night Pearl could continue to illuminate him in the underworld.

After the Huaihai Campaign, the whole country was basically liberated. Then, a steel-making furnace was erected in Gushan and steelmaking began. Later, terraces were built on the mountain, and tall stone canals were built to divert water uphill. Not only that, but it has also served as an execution ground and shot dozens of criminals who committed the most heinous crimes. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, the ancient mountain became a quarry again, mainly mining the mountain in the west. Since then, the machines have roared here, people and cars have come and gone, it is very lively, and there are people patrolling and on duty at night.

This time, it was time for Lao Liu to wait, he waited and waited, and he never had a chance to start. Later, the quarry was contracted to a private person, but the private boss violated the rules and killed several small workers from other places, and the quarry was shut down.

Old Liu Tou has a chance, but he is also old and can't do it anymore. And that's not the main thing, he's mostly scared.

There have been so many things and so many deaths in the ancient mountains, and there have been rumors of haunting for a long time. Some people say that when it rains in the ancient mountains, the water that flows down from the mountains turns red, and that it is the blood of dead people.

Some people also said that they went to the mountains at night to look for sheep, and saw a few people sitting, but when they turned their faces, their faces were all flat, and they were the few small workers who were stoned to death by the rocks. As for the sound of crying and shouting in the mountains at night, it is even more spread with nose and eyes.

There used to be an old road here, and this old Taoist was not really a Taoist priest, but a fortune teller in a Taoist robe. The villagers asked the fortune teller to go to the back mountain to have a look, and if they could exorcise ghosts for everyone, the villagers were willing to raise money to thank them.

The fortune teller agreed, he just walked to the Gushan Pass, a gust of wind came, the bell on the fortune teller's waist rang, the flag in his hand cheered, the fortune teller looked at it, turned his face and walked back.

The fortune teller's move frightened the villagers, and when they asked why, the fortune teller said that there were "living dead ghosts" in the mountains, and that this kind of ghost was many times more powerful than ordinary ghosts, and he told everyone to be careful.

The villagers were frightened and hurried to get money from the fortune teller, who said that the living dead were still trapped and would be fine as long as they couldn't get out of the grave. And let everyone go to the back mountain less, and not break the soil and rocks on the mountain at will, otherwise, there will be trouble in the village.

The villagers believed the fortune teller's words, and really didn't dare to go to the back mountain to herd sheep or plant trees on the mountain. As for the establishment of quarries, it was originally a township-run enterprise, and the villagers had no right to interfere. When the villagers saw that the quarry had been working for many years, they began to doubt the fortune teller's words---- the quarry was about to flatten a mountain, and there were no ghosts or gods coming out, let alone living ghosts.

But just when the villagers were suspicious, the quarry was contracted to an individual. The new owner of the quarry, in order to mine more stones, asked the gunners to increase the amount of medicine in the cannon holes. As a result, after a few shots, the mountain was shattered, and when a few small workers went to pull the stones, the big stones on the mountain suddenly rolled down, and almost smashed the people below into meatloaf on the spot.

As a result, the private owner was arrested and the quarry was mothballed.

Now the villagers are really scared, the fortune teller is right, there are really living ghosts in the mountains, and no one will go to the back mountains in the future......
