Chapter 33: Entering the Mountains of Yunnan [I]
Everyone looked back at the black hole, and saw a child out of the black hole, the child had loose hair, a thin body, and a face covered with mud, and looked to be only about ten years old. www.biquge.info She was wearing a big horse coat and her big eyes were looking at us like lanterns.
Then the old man with the black beard patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the child and said, "Do you think that child is male or female?" ”
I hissed and laughed, "The devil knows if she's male or female, if you want to know, go over and take a look!" ”
The black-bearded old man waved his hand, "The ghost is going, that poor ghost, dressed in such tatters, the male must be an iron rooster, and the female is estimated to be a slug!" ”
"How do you know, you didn't look at it, you said as if you were a god, you know everything?" I snorted disdainfully, this black-bearded old man knows how to chew the root of other people's tongues behind his back, what the hell, like this kind of person who eats inside and outside, he has to slap his stinky mouth to a pulp, saving him from saying bad things about others behind his back, harming others and himself.
Uncle Seven wanted to talk to the child, but at this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the black hole, and soon, a man and a woman came out of the hole.
The woman is slender, but the face is not good-looking, and her face is full of pockmarks.
The man is tall, with a strong physique, his shoulders are as thick as a cow, and he walks energetically, he seems to be a master who can't be provoked, and his temper is estimated to be very bad, sure enough, the man didn't say a word and picked up the child who wanted to be close to Uncle Seven, stretched out his hairy hand and slapped the child's buttocks, and beat the child until he yelled, "Dad, don't fight, it ......hurts."
"See if you dare to run around, kill you little thing, kill you." While the man is beating, he screams like a rooster in heat.
Standing next to her, the pockmarked woman couldn't stand it, she told the man to stop, the child is still young, if you hit her so hard, it will hurt her.
The man seems to be a rough person, he knows how to use force, does not listen to the dissuasion of women, and insists on beating, "This little thing, it is not good not to teach her a lesson, she is spoiled on weekdays, run around like this, and it will be troublesome to be taken away by that damn beast." ”
After speaking, he also glanced back at us uninvited guests, and his face was very ugly. It seems that he has an enmity with us, and the iron core is very unhappy, so he wants to step forward and beat that man, his grandmother's, in broad daylight, since you are disrespectful to the master, you really owe it.
Uncle Seven stopped the iron rod and signaled the iron rod to calm down and see the situation.
When the woman saw that the man was still beating the child in her arms, she snatched the child with one hand, got into the hole, and did not bow her head to hold the child to comfort, "My Juan'er, don't cry, don't cry, baby, mom gives you candy!" ”
As soon as the woman with a pockmarked face walked with her front foot, the man wanted to follow up with the hole, and at this time, the seventh uncle found the right time, he quickly pulled the man's hand and said, "This little brother, wait a minute, I want to inquire about something, I don't know if you are willing to tell us." ”
The man looked impatient, and glared at Uncle Seventh with a big grin, "If you have something, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it out for Lao Tzu, and see what the hell is going on, as long as I know, I will tell you." ”
The man's answer was beyond the expectations of Uncle Seven, who glanced at the big guy, so he had to say respectfully and obediently, "Actually, it's nothing!" We people are from afar, want to enter your Yunnan mountains to play, but unfortunately, but do not know the way into the mountains, to your village, asked several families do not know, so, towards your village seven or eight times, everywhere to ask the people in the village, but no one knows, so, we stopped and went here, just saw your children run out, I want to ask, it happens that you also came out. ”
"Oh! It turns out that you are asking for directions, do you all want to go into the mountains? The man glanced at everyone and said unhurriedly.
Uncle Seven squeezed his eyes at the man, leaned over to the man's side, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we really want to enter the mountains." ”
I looked at Uncle Seven's funny appearance, and I felt very awkward, Uncle Seven is such a big person, how can he be like a child, without the slightest manly spirit, his flattering appearance, really like a mouse giving a chicken New Year's greetings, not well-intentioned.
The man also seemed to see that Uncle Seven's behavior was very strange, but because Uncle Seven was an old man, he didn't get angry much, and casually told us how to go into the mountains of Yunnan.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, looking at the mountains standing at the foot of the sky, and said lightly, "If you want to enter the mountains, you must go north, pass through those mountains, reach the Broken Soul Mountain, bypass the Broken Soul Mountain and then go west, and then go over a few mountains, and then look at the top of the highest mountain in the west, you can see a small stream, there is a tunnel mouth on the west side of the stream, artificially built, after there, and continue to walk straight west for ten miles, you can reach the Lake of the Dead, which is the entrance to the mountains of Yunnan." ”
"What you said is true?" Uncle Seven questioned the man's words, isn't it just to enter a mountain, it is necessary to make it so complicated, we are all illiterate people who have not graduated from elementary school!
The man snorted disdainfully, "How can what I say be false, believe it or not, since you don't believe me, then go and ask others." ”
"Hey, of course I believe it, of course I believe it!" Seeing that the man seemed to be a little angry, Uncle Seven deliberately laughed and said, "Don't laugh, what about me?" I didn't even graduate from elementary school, I dropped out of school to work since I was a child, and I was a rough person, I hope you don't blame what I said! ”
Seeing that Uncle Seven apologized, the man was very polite, and told Uncle Seven the news of entering the mountains.
"Truth be told, if you want to go into the mountains, you probably won't." The man explained.
"Why can't you get in?" As soon as the seventh uncle heard that he couldn't enter the mountains, he was stupid, and hurriedly said to the man. My dear, what's going on? God really doesn't let people wait?
"Hey, there was a torrential rain last week, which washed down the mud above the tunnel mouth, the muddy water washed through the tunnel mouth for several days and nights, and the storm continued to fall for several days, since the mud above the tunnel mouth collapsed, the tunnel mouth was buried, if you want to go in, it is impossible, the tunnel mouth is the only entrance into the mountain, it is buried, it is estimated that you must not be able to go in." The man said a lot of things in one breath, and Uncle Seven didn't understand it for a while, since the road was buried, then it must be impossible to go, but Uncle Seven still continued to ask the man, "Is there any other way to go besides that road to enter the mountain." ”
The man insisted on it, "Except for that tunnel, it is impossible for other places to enter the mountains of Yunnan, even if you take a detour, there are too many intersections in the mountains, once you take the wrong road, you will definitely get lost, there are many beasts in the mountains, and getting lost is equivalent to a lamb slaughtered by wild beasts, and I don't know how to die, and, listening to the old man and the old woman of the older generation, there are still legends of ghosts and superstitions in the mountains." ”
"What? Are there ghosts in the mountains? "The black-bearded old man is the most timid, and when he heard the man say that there are ghosts in the mountains, he was immediately frightened and his eyes widened, for fear that he would really enter the mountains and meet ghosts.
I laughed at the old man with black beard, "Old man with black beard, if you are afraid, go home, don't stick to us like a drag bottle, if you are afraid of ghosts, you can go home now, we will not force you to go into the mountains." ”
When the black-bearded old man saw that I was sarcastic about him, he was not ambiguous, and stammered, "Who...... Who said I was afraid, I wasn't afraid of ghosts at all, I was just excited for a while, and when I thought of ghosts in the mountains, I was excited! I just want to see what this ghost looks like! ”
"Tsk, black-bearded old man, just blow it, just your guts, don't say hell, just a black shadow in the dark night can scare you half to death, don't say you see a real ghost, you haven't seen it yet, I guess you've already died." I continued to laugh at the old man with the black beard
The black-bearded old man was red-faced by what I said, and when he said it to his heart, he looked at me for a while, and he couldn't open his mouth.
"Wouldn't it, none of what you're saying seems to be scientific?" Uncle Seven broke the casserole and asked in the end, he wanted to see, he just wanted to stimulate how many unknown secrets were still hidden in this man's heart.
The man said very sincerely about the things in this village, "This thing is true, our village is called Luolong Township, the most backward poor rural area in the local area, I heard those old people of our old life say that there are often ghosts in the mountains, especially the Broken Soul Mountain I told you, where the Eighth Route Army resisted Japan, legend has it that there was a place where Chinese fought against Little Japan, there was a war, many people died, Chinese defeated Little Japan, Bury the corpse of the dead little Japan on that mountain, listen to the old ancestors of our village, the ghosts of those dead little Japan will not go away, and they will wander on that mountain every night, seventy or eighty years have passed, and the mountain is still not peaceful, and I often hear people in the village say that the mountain is haunted, and it is not clean! ”
After hearing this, Uncle Seven felt that what the man said was credible but he didn't believe it all, as for why, Uncle Seven couldn't guess, many things were things that science couldn't explain, and Uncle Seven didn't dare to boast about Haikou, saying that there really are no ghosts in this world, after all, he hadn't encountered it yet.
After the man finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he had spoken a little too much, and he reached out and touched his dirty hair, and plunged headlong into the black hole.
