Chapter 10: 1960 III

Waiting quietly, people feel a little uneasy, two old men leaning on the windowsill naked, this scene is indeed quite strange.

"Hey." Ma Sufeng poked Li Lao Er's shoulder with his elbow and said, "Let me tell you something first, if someone in Ming'er Village is blamed for stealing their eggs, don't admit that I did it." ”

"What eggs?"

"Wait and see, by the way, can your gun go off?"

Li Lao Er shook the shell gun in his hand and said: "Don't look old, the fight is not ambiguous, and it is well maintained, the family will give it a mouthful of fuel tickets every month, that is, if it rings, the militia in Ming'er Village is afraid that they will come to find it." ”

"You don't care about this, I'm here, I'll fight you later."

Time passed minute by minute, Li Lao Er climbed on the window and stared, while Ma Sufeng continued to tinker in the corner with him on his back, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Until the second half of the night, Li Lao Er fell asleep against the windowsill, and he was snoring.

"Hey, hey, wake up."

"What for?" Li Lao Er woke up in a daze and shouted, Ma Sufeng hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "What's it called, look outside......"

In the courtyard, a black mass was squatting in front of the sacrifices, grabbing the meat from time to time and stuffing it into its mouth, and from time to time it raised its head to look around, vaguely only looking at it, like a man, but not tall.

Li Lao Er thought it was a "ghost", and thought to himself, this is still here to ask for his life, his heels were weak, and he asked tremblingly: "This is the thing that wants my life?" ”

Ma Sufeng knocked Li Laoer's head and scolded: "It's really useless, don't worry, look, this is just a pathfinder, that thing is very cunning, and the main owner hasn't come yet." ”

As soon as he heard that this was not the main master, Li Laoer's heart was completely cold: "Then this is a little ghost sent by the king of Hades, right?" ”

", this isn't a ghost, but it's also a harmful thing, I didn't expect you to have this thing."

"What's that?"

Ma Sufeng pointed to the thing outside the window and whispered, "Does the mandrill know?" I saw it once or twice in Bashu Laoshan back then, and the thieves were very, better than the yellow skin. Wait a minute, you get the gun ready, I'll have to save a lot of trouble with this thing. ”

Once, in Hongcun, there was a woman who gave birth to a baby with long hair and a tail, but it is said that the child died soon after. In the northwest of Zhejiang, especially in my grandfather's generation, some people often heard that there were wild people in the mountains, saying that the wild people would specially pick young women to lure into the mountains, and they said that the woman was caught into the mountains by the mandrills, I don't know if it is true or false, and there is no way to verify it after a long time. But there are records of mandrills in ancient classics, in short, it is somewhat similar to people, it is very strong and flexible, the whole body is hairy, the teeth are extremely sharp, and it eats meat, and most of the folklore is the embodiment of the evil ghosts in the mountains.

Ma Sufeng stared at the greedy thing and said to Li Laoer: "Aim at the point, do you want to hit the head?" ”

"Don't worry, I didn't run." "Then you won't fight?"

"Smack", Li Lao Er pulled the trigger, but there was a mechanical knocking sound, the muzzle did not flash, and the sound was not so loud. He flickered for a moment, pulled the trigger again, and still "snapped".

Ma Sufeng was anxious: "You are fighting!" ”

"It's been too long to use it, it's jam!" "What the hell!" "Don't worry, I'll try again......"

Just when Li Lao Er was about to debug, the black light blinded him and he was nervous, and he didn't know how to pull the trigger again, and there was a gunshot, only to see a spark splash on the ground, and the bullet grazed Ma Sufeng's toes, wiping out a big hole in the toe of his cloth shoes......

This shot startled the black shadow in the courtyard, and it dropped the food in its hand and was about to run, when Ma Sufeng saw this, a flutter shot directly out of the window. Four or five meters away, with a flick of the wrist, a flash of white light, a dagger of more than two inches flew out with a roar, only to see the black shadow stagger, "boom" crashed open the door. By the time they chased them out, the outside was already empty, leaving only a trail of blood to disappear at the end of the road.

Looking at the bloodstains, Ma Sufeng looked back at Li Laoer's crying face and said: "You stay at home honestly, you are absolutely not allowed to go out of the room half a step before dawn, if I can come back before dawn, this matter is over, if I can't come back, your bullet will be kept for yourself." ”

Li Lao Er was also anxious: "What do you mean?" Originally, I just paid them a little bit of tribute, so that I would not be killed. That's what you injured, you must seek revenge on me, you can't leave me alone. ”

Ma Sufeng really didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, so he went back to the yard and picked up his wine gourd and kicked it on his waist, only then did he remember that he was still naked. Looking at the clothes on the scarecrow, he shook his head again, and simply went back to the house again to find his Qiankun bag, grinded it on the spot, and drew a "Taoist robe" on himself with a brush.

"What are you?"

Looking at himself like that, he said self-deprecatingly: "Something is better than nothing, you say, right?" ”

Li Laoer: "......"

picked up the kerosene lamp, wore the cloth shoes that were worn by Li Lao Er in front of him, exposed his big toes, and a pair of pants naked, and let Li Lao Er draw a gossip on his back crookedly, and painted a placket style clothes with a brush on his chest, and did not forget to draw two buttons, this old boy took his guy and chased him out along the bloodstains.

This chase chased to the general temple at the back of the village, behind the general temple is a cliff, ten meters high, and there are many old trees hanging on it until the ground. The bloodstains were broken here, it seemed that eighty percent went to the top of the cliff, Ma Sufeng tried that the vine was still strong, and he pulled two handfuls and felt that he could climb up hard, and the thorns along the way pierced his bare-ass Taoist priest well, and he grinned and barely went to the top.

This is a slope overgrown with weeds, and a few old maple trees are scattered on this slope, and the mess of stones is like grave buns. At one time, the village planned to open up the wasteland on this slope to plant corn, but the hoe could dig it down to spark, and the available land was really limited, so it was stopped.

Here, Ma Sufeng could smell the faint smell of blood coming from the air, and in a few moments, he found blood on the side of a rock, which was a pile of thatch, from which a man's height covered the stone tightly.

There was a hole on one side of the stone, and the mouth was so oblique that it went deep, and Ma Sufeng shone it with a kerosene lamp, but he didn't know the depth. Squatted down and pinched some dirt and put it on his nose and sniffed it, the smell of corpses almost didn't make him vomit.

He pulled out a few copper coins in his arms and threw them at the entrance of the cave, and the three copper coins formed a triangle around the ground, he looked up at the Big Dipper in the sky, and followed the vertical line of the stars to the position of the copper coins, and the two copper coins with the smallest angle of the three corners formed the corner pointing outward.

Following that direction, Ma Sufeng got up and looked at it, and estimated that it was aimed at the house of Li Lao'er's house.

Ma Sufeng tried the entrance of the cave, and it was not a big problem to go down, he picked up the kerosene lamp with a sword and thought: "Hey, tell you to go out in a hurry to seek revenge, then I will just cut off your back road and come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary!" ”

With no clothes on him, he drilled into the hole, and with a "swish" he slipped down, and the small stones on both sides cut through the skin, making the old boy bared his teeth in pain. Take a look on the ground, good fellow, there is indeed an article here, a white skeleton is lying on the top of a blue brick tomb, the bones have long been rotten and yellow, the clothes are still good, and there is a rotten shell gun in his hand. Especially in the center of the skull, a hole the size of a coin is particularly distinct. This is probably the corpse of the second brother of Li, and his little has long been asked by Ma Sufeng in fright.

Ma Sufeng squatted down and said to the pile of white bones: "Brother, I will inform your brother to take you home tomorrow morning" There was another robbery hole near the corpse, which directly penetrated the top of the tomb, and the skills of these two brothers in robbing the tomb were really first-class, and the entire robbery hole was not bad at all. Ma Sufeng put the kerosene lamp in his mouth, and jumped down with both hands.

There was a musty smell in the tomb, and I didn't have time to look at the furnishings inside, and there were a lot of bottles and cans. Just go down to hear a "snort, snort" panting sound, follow the sound, turn a corner, there is an ear room on his left hand side, there is no tomb door, Ma Sufeng to the door to stand, only to see a black shadow flew out, "click" sound, knocked his kerosene lamp to the ground, "boom" burned a fire.

The fire burned a little suddenly, Ma Sufeng was not prepared, and the mandrill was even more startled. No matter how smart it is, the mandrill is just a beast after all, and when it sees the open flame, it still takes a step back, in fact, as long as it goes one inch further, its extremely sharp claws can pierce Ma Sufeng's throat.

At such an instant, Ma Sufeng seized the opportunity, and threw out a flying knife with his backhand, hitting the mandrill in the chest directly, and only the handle of the knife was left. Although the mandrill was strong, it could no longer support it after being hit in the heart, and after shaking it twice, it was planted on the ground, and when it fell, it was still grinning at Ma Sufeng.

Ma Sufeng pulled out the seven-star sword and was about to wipe its neck, but at this time, he suddenly heard a baby's cry in the ear room, and then looked at the appearance of the mandrill, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, no wonder he didn't let himself in when he was dying, shouldn't this mandrill and man give birth to a beast?

When he looked at it again, this mandrill was clearly a male, but now it had lost its breath, and the bloodshot old man at the corner of his mouth was still staring at the boss, and he was in a posture of blocking his dead arm.

Ma Sufeng lit a fire, stepped over the mandrill's corpse and walked inside, good fellow, a white and tender little doll was in a long bamboo basket, the little doll was wrapped in a red sheet, the little face was red from crying, and there was a bunch of cooked food that he bought in the restaurant in the afternoon as a sacrifice by the basket......
