20 years ago, Shaanxi Wolf Waist Ridge (sorry I can't use a specific place name)

Two men in their forties sat under a tree in the old forest with a cloth bag on their backs and smoked, one of the oldest had a scar on his forehead, a very straight nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a wide palm pinching the cigarette butt and staring at the sun that was about to go down.

The other has a seven-point resemblance to the previous one, but he is shorter, his hair is messy, there is a mole on his nose, and his skin is rough and dark. It's annoying to be hungry on an empty stomach. ”

"I'll endure hunger." The man with the scar on his head took a hard breath of smoke, retracted his gaze and looked down the mountain, and then said: "The two of us have already crossed the line, you know, if you let the snake on the ground here know, neither of us brothers can get out." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of dry bread and threw it over, "Fill the belly first, take care of it!" Don't babble. ”

"I said, brother, how did you find out about this stall (goods)? I don't know you've been here. The man with the mole on his nose took a bite of the cake and chewed it vigorously, "It's probably worth a lot of money?" Don't go back with a few rotten bottles and bottles, don't make people laugh at it. ”

The man with the scar shook his coat, took out an earth-colored vial from the cloth bag, opened the cork, and a faint smell floated out of the mouth of the bottle, only to see him pour out a little bit and rub it on the palm of his hand, apply it to his body, and then throw it to the man opposite, "Third, you also wipe it, the snakes and insects of the old forest in the north are also fierce, be careful to make the boat of ten thousand years." ”

The man with the mole took the bottle and still ate the flatbread first, looking at the sunset with only half of his face in his eyes with a smile in his eyes.

The two waited until nightfall, and the village at that end was quiet, and then slowly got up and walked towards the depths of the old forest, along the way still cautiously testing the thicker leaves under their feet, like these forests, there are generally hunters under the mountain to set up some traps, catch some roe deer pheasants or something to open meat, and if you are lucky, you can also catch big wild things, which are used to supplement the family.

So the two had to walk cautiously.

From time to time, the man with the scar looked at the moonlight shining through the layers of crevices, and there was no expression on his face, and the two of them climbed a large slope one after the other and stopped.

"It's here! Let's get to work, and try to dig through it tonight. The man with the scar rubbed his palms and pulled out a short-handled shovel from the cloth bag. The third child, hurry up and open the outer cover. ”

"Gotta ha!"

The black man named the third child also used an iron shovel to brush away a layer of leaves, revealing a fence cover made of tree branches, and uncovered a sleek thief hole below. You're just going to be out there to control the wind, don't doze off, be careful of accidents. ”

After more than ten minutes, the black man squatted on the edge of the thief cave and waited, after all, he was more or less scared alone in the dark woods, and shouted into the thief cave in a low voice: "Brother, okay!" Hurry up when you get to something. ”

There was no response in the dark hole for a while, and the black man panicked in his heart, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't make up his mind to tie the rope down, but kept looking into the hole, and from time to time pulled another rope tied to his brother's body.

"Fortunately, the rope is tight, which means it is not broken." The black man comforted himself.

At this time, a vague voice suddenly came from inside the cave: "Third child, hurry up and pull me out, the things are in hand." ”

When the black man heard his brother's voice, he was immediately overjoyed, and he dragged a figure in the cave with all his strength, and the scarred man was cold and cold, full of cold sweat, and threw a bag of things on the ground as soon as he came up, picked up the shovel on the ground and kept backfilling the hole.

The black man didn't know what was going on, but when he saw a one-foot-long scratch on his brother's back, he was so frightened that he picked up a shovel and followed the backfill. They were just halfway filled, when suddenly, the scarred man's body trembled, stopped what he was doing, and made a silent gesture.

"Do you hear anything?" The man with the scar half-squatted on the ground with his ears sideways and listened carefully, but he didn't dare to come out.

The black man approached with a trembling mouth, "Brother, don't scare me, what did you hear?" ”

The man with the scar looked left and right and signaled the third child to pack the shovel and leave quickly, as for the square bag on the ground, he picked it up and returned to the original way, the two of them just walked down the hill, and suddenly trembled all over, and there was a strange whining sound in the old forest.

The voice was like that of a cat and a child.

"Third child, don't listen! Get out of here! The scarred man pinched the flesh on his body, and pulled the black man out of here with a quick step.

Walking around the forest, it seemed that he realized that he was lost, and all the markings he had made on the trees were gone, and the shape of each tree was exactly the same, and it was difficult to make out the direction.

Just when the two of them were in a hurry, in the direction of the east of them, a faint blue light suddenly lit up, and it flashed and disappeared. The scar man gritted his teeth, anyway, it was not a way to run around now, so the dead horse became a live horse doctor, and asked the black man to go over with him to see what was going on.

"The village we were in when we came!" The black man was so happy that he almost cried.

The man with the scar grabbed him, "Don't go down yet, wait until dawn." ”

"Why?" The black man sat on the ground and looked at his brother in confusion.

"We're covered in mud, and we're carrying guys, we know what we're doing at a glance, be careful not to call the police, it's going to eat guns." The man with the scar touched his pants bag, but he didn't touch the cigarette, so he probably just ran away from somewhere.

The two of them barely survived until the sky was dark, slipped along the muddy path of the winding mountain to the backyard of the family, fetched some water to wash their bodies, and the man with the scar was suddenly stunned and said softly: "Something is wrong, you see." ”

The black man looked in the direction he was pointing, and a dog chain was dragging on the ground.

"Maybe the family's dog ran away. Brother, don't be suspicious! ”

Although there is also this possibility, the scar man is still not at ease, and the two sneak to another house and find that the dogs in the yard are gone, and only the dog chain is still there.

After checking a few houses one after another, the man with the scar turned blue and said secretly: It seems that something has happened. Hurriedly kicked open the wooden door of a family and broke in, and found that there was no one inside at all, the man with the scar touched the quilt, and it was still warm, the quilt was covered, and the clothes and pants that were taken off were neatly placed at the end of the bed and had not been moved, and it was impossible for the people of this family to run out without clothes.

rushed into the houses of several families in a row, and the situation inside was the same as the first one, not only were the people gone, but even the chickens and ducks were all gone, and it was impossible for a village to move away quietly and silently overnight, not to mention that the two of them were staying on the cliff not far from here, and there was no reason why they couldn't hear the movement.

The scar man pulled the third child and didn't plan to continue the investigation, he immediately turned around and left here, regardless of the black man's third child's constant nagging on the road, a person was silently thinking about things, all the people and domestic animals in a village disappeared mysteriously, he didn't dare to care! I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I went straight back to my hometown Sichuan.
