Chapter 9: A Strange Village
In the car, the uncle was driving, and Ryoko fell asleep in the co-pilot. I was idle, so I took out the diary left for me by my second uncle to see if I needed to pay attention to anything when I saw the pit. And staying is staying, it's better to find some clues.
I flipped through my diary, and immediately there was one article that caught my eye. It was a short account of the surrounding villages when we first arrived at the pit.
"September 14th. The weather was fine. We went to xxx village in Sichuan, because that village was very close to that deep pit. About two-thirds of the people in the village were watching the excitement from the side of the pit. There are both men and women, young and old.
But within a day, all the people returned, and one of the old men did not speak the Sichuan dialect, but said to us in standard Mandarin: "You city boys, the old man advises you not to go there again." It's guarded by a dragon. If they see it, they will kill their heads! I don't say anything else. Let's go back to town! With that, the old man waved his hand and returned to the village.
We thought it was superstitious, so we ignored them. Who knew that the next day, all the Su people in that village came to the front of the pit, and everyone had eggs, pork, masks and other things in their hands. Then it was placed in front of the pit. The old man who spoke to us yesterday stepped forward and laid a stick of incense in front of the food. Then he led the whole village to kowtow to the pit. After kowtowing three times. The old man said something to the villagers in a language we didn't understand. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone hurried back to the village.
But the old man turned to me and Wang Liangxin (Ryoko's father) who were working. He said, "Baby, the patron saint of this place that we are angry about, I have asked for help from them just now, let us go, let's go." Otherwise, I'll be killed by the patron saint here! ”
Wang Liangxin and I glanced at each other, didn't say anything, and still thought it was superstition, after all, how could there be a guardian saint in a mausoleum about the Northern Song Dynasty? After that, we kindly thanked the old man and went to work somewhere else.
Immediately, the old man sighed and said, "Alas, these babies now. Then the old man shook his head. Hunched his back and walked away.
For about half an hour, the people of that village took all their belongings with them. Meet at the entrance of the village. When the old man arrived, everyone walked towards the outside world. Seeing this situation, our leader hurriedly stepped forward to ask why this was the case. But the old man replied even more strangely: "The Patronus is angry, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!" ”
Then there were more than 100 men, women and children in a village. Under our watch, gradually drifted away.
When they are rejoicing in getting the territory where they live. And I couldn't be happier. I always felt that something was wrong. This feeling has been vaguely felt since I first entered this pit. I don't know what's going on. ”
After reading this diary, I closed it slowly, and then thought about the scenes in the diary where the second uncle wrote about the villagers. "Could it be that those villagers also know about the brocade-clothed divine guard?" I wondered. "But those people have come and gone without a trace, and it's impossible to find them!" Immediately I muttered again.
"Is this really the feudal superstition of the time?" I thought deeply. The heart said that this matter will be talked about when I return to Sichuan. Then I immediately took out the laptop and plugged in the network card. I'm going to look up the exact location of that village. Immediately, a search result was displayed, and a map appeared, but the map was recent, not the old 1982 map. There was no more village, only the county mentioned in my uncle's diary, so I could only see the general direction. When it comes to the place, I can only search for it in a carpet way.
Now the car has just passed the checkpoint in Wuhan, and there is still a long way to go in Sichuan. I was also lying in the car. I thought about the big brother we met when we came. If he wasn't in that little mausoleum, where was he? And I heard that the uncle said that he was lying to us, and why is that.
I thought that when I arrived in Sichuan, I must give him a call. And just like that, I also fell asleep in the car. When I woke up. Ryoko is driving, and Uncle is asleep in the passenger seat.
"Miko, you're awake," Ryoko said as she looked at me through the mirror.
"Hmm," I nodded. Then sat up.
"When did you change seats?" I shook my head to remove my sleepiness.
"Last night, I woke up and changed with my uncle," Ryoko thought for a moment.
Immediately, the uncle also woke up. I'll just tell you exactly what I found yesterday. As soon as I finished speaking, the two of them fell into deep thought. Ryoko, who was driving right away, muttered, "Did they find out about that organization?" ”
The uncle heard Ryoko's muttering, and immediately vetoed: "Impossible, we can't find it in our current era, let alone them." ”
"In ancient times, there were also feudal superstitions of sacrifices." I nodded.
"Unless this is a coincidence." Ryoko said again.
"Well, it could be a coincidence." Uncle nodded. Then he continued: "Just wait until we go to that village and find the people in that village at that time and see if they are dead." ”
"Hmm," Ryoko and I nodded after listening to my uncle's words. "It's almost time to get there, you guys pack your luggage," Ryoko looked at the Sichuan provincial checkpoint in front of her, then turned to me and my uncle.
Immediately, the two of us began to pack our bags.
"It should be 11 o'clock when we get to the place. I will go back later, buy the things I should buy, and go directly to that xxx county. The uncle looked at his watch.
"Hmm."
After another half hour, the car stopped in front of my house. We left our luggage at my house and went to the department store to buy the things we needed when we got to the pit. Ryoko went home first to change her clothes. Because after a few days, the clothes are already dirty and can no longer be worn.
After most of the day, we bought everything we needed to use. I bought a few accurate maps, as well as binoculars, and nylon rope (this kind of rope is very good and very elastic. It is said that the special forces used that rope to climb the mountain. Flash, helmet, and three night vision devices for a good price. I also bought a few flashbangs, a couple of pistols, and a sniper rifle on top of the black stone. There are also medical supplies such as gauze, painkillers, etc. Also use a large packet of compressed biscuits. Anyway, I brought everything I should have brought. I bought everything I should have bought. Then another car bought a car worth tens of thousands of yuan, and was ready to drive it when it was going to the deep pit. Because after all, the uncle's Hummer is too expensive. If it's broken, or something, the uncle will have to kill us.
We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this trip. This time, I looked at the money spent and felt a little heartache, but the uncle said disapprerovitically: "What is this, some people who are upside down sometimes need millions of yuan to buy equipment or something!" ”
Uncle's words also stunned me. But some people pour something good into the tomb and sell it for millions, tens of millions. Today, I understand what it means to be reluctant to let the child trap the wolf! When we got home, Ryoko had already arrived. He looked at the big bags of things we bought, and was equally stunned. Then we repacked and packed our bags. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, we went to the uncle and bought the second-hand car. Then we each pinned our pistols to our waists. (At that moment, I felt like my dream of being a police officer for several years had finally come true.) )
When we were ready, Uncle started the car and we headed for the pit...
I looked at the way forward, and at that moment, my heart was inexplicably excited, because the place I had wanted to go for a long time was about to be realized. Although the next road can be very bumpy and difficult. But for the sake of my second uncle and so many excellent examiners in China. I'm going to get to the bottom of this anyway!
