Chapter 20: The Stonemen

The current situation was unexpected. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The only three of us who are left don't understand why Wang Roar and Xian Hongye disappeared, let alone what happened to this pickup in just a few tens of seconds.

But there is one thing I believe in, and I must believe...... Wang Roar and Hyun Hongye definitely did not turn into stones on their seats. I can't believe they're going to turn to stone!

But where did they go? In the dazed darkness of the night, I was blind.

Looking around, I could only see vague images of bushes on both sides of Lao Qi Road, and farther on, some vague, tall stone statues.

These things only obscured the view, but they didn't give me a hint about the two of them, and in the dark of night, I couldn't even tell the direction, let alone go out to find someone!

At this time, Xiao Ah Si suddenly pulled down my trouser leg and eagerly reminded me: "Chase there, they went there"

As he spoke, Ah Si stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction among the bushes and thorns on the side of the road.

At first glance, that direction is nothing special from other places, but if you look closely, you can see that it is slightly different.

I suddenly noticed that the weeds there were all lodging, apparently just stepped on.

In a panic, I couldn't make up my mind, so I turned around and asked Ah Sidao, "Are you sure?" ”

Xiao Ah Si still pointed in that direction and said, "Sure!" The dog barks over there! It must be there. I've been bitten by these beasts before, and I know their temper. ”

Ah Si's words made a lot of sense, and they woke me up completely.

We have dogs, and the black dog "Doodoo" has also experienced everything that just happened in the pickup. Follow the direction of its roar, and you should be able to find the location of the king's roar and the red leaves.

As soon as I thought about it, I immediately turned around and shouted at Zhao Hong: "Zhao Hong! You take the dog on the lead, let's go find Wang Roar. ”

But Zhao Hong didn't take action, and he didn't answer me immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette and took a big sip of it in his hand. While relieving mental tension, the solemnity and pessimism of the face are becoming more and more.

Looking at his slightly trembling fingers, I immediately felt his inner apprehension and fear.

"Tian Fuji!" Zhao Hong said to me very formally: "I don't think it's that simple, Yimeng Mountain has a legend of Yin soldiers very early, and it's not accidental that people will turn into stones, and you didn't say it just now......"

Before Zhao Hong's words were finished, he was immediately interrupted by me.

"Lao Zhao!" I shouted to remind him, "This is not the time to talk about this. ”

In fact, I knew in my heart that Zhao Hong wanted to tell me something I didn't understand. I'm afraid he also wants to tell me a lot of "truths" that I don't know yet.

But I really didn't care to listen to him say that.

Wang Roar and Xian Hongye are uncertain about their lives and deaths. I didn't even have the heart to listen to it, and as time went by, the variables they faced became more and more variable, and so did the unexpected.

In this case, finding someone comes first, and I can't settle down at all, let alone listen to his explanation.

So, I stretched out my hand and pointed in the direction of the dog's barking, and first said, "Let's go find the king's roar!" What do you have to say...... Time waits for no one. ”

Zhao Hong opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, he nodded, indicating that he understood my thoughts.

In silence, Zhao Hong got in the car and went to lead the dog. And I stood under the car, looking at his fat body, and felt sincerely sorry in my heart.

I didn't want Zhao Hong to get involved in our problems, but I didn't expect the development of things to move in this uncontrollable direction.

I know that this search will definitely not be peaceful, but I must take Zhao Hong with me, otherwise, I will not be at ease when he guards the pickup alone.

Things have come to this point, and they can't be separated anymore.

In this way, the three of us led the black dog "Dudu", rushed into the messy bushes, rushed left and right, and looked for traces of Wang Roar and Xian Hongye in it.

I have to say that Zhao Hong's second uncle's black dog is very good, although it is a hybrid dog string, but it is very spiritual, the one-person big dog is dark all over, almost one with the dark night, and the two egg-sized black eyes are also angry and round, glowing with cyan light in the moonlit night.

Completely different from us, the dog was fearless, with an excited face, Zhao Hong had just helped it break free of the pickup, and the beast rushed out like a whistling arrow off the string, and the chain around his neck that had been slightly deformed was so bad that Zhao Hong almost fell down.

I watched the dog come alive, and my confidence suddenly increased. With it leading the way, at least we shouldn't get lost. In the dark night, there is also a pair of "fire eyes" that can distinguish objects.

Zhao Hong, who was holding it, was also a lot calmer because of his dog's performance, and he even took the time to point to his dog and said, "Black dogs have spirituality!" You can see things that ordinary people can't see. ”

"I hope ......" I was apprehensive, and said to Zhao Hong with apologies: "Let you get involved, you shouldn't ......"

But Zhao Hong replied to me with an indifferent smile.

He waved his hand casually and said, "They are all comrades-in-arms!" … You're welcome?! ”

Zhao Hong's calm and simple words made my heart warm when I listened to them, and I felt even more ashamed of myself.

The kind of military relationship that sheds blood and sweat together is also the simplicity in this crisis......

In this way, Zhao Hong and I went one after the other, sandwiched Xiao Ah Si between the two of us, and under the guidance of the black dog Dudu, we walked forward step by step among the bushes on both sides of Lao Qi Road.

As soon as we entered, we realized that the scale of this shrub was far larger than I had imagined.

At first, the trees we entered were only chest-high to my chest. But as the search deepened, the height of the bush had already overhead, and even the dogtail weeds, which had reached only ankles, had suddenly grown to waist-length lengths.

In this kind of place, it is almost impossible not to get lost at night, but because we have a black dog to guide us, we have much less worry in this regard. Even as the search continued, I felt truly gratified. If we really didn't have this dog, I'm afraid we would have to shout the names of Wang Roar and Momiji to the empty mountain......

Soon, the black dog panted and led us to a small glade.

When Zhao Hong and I rushed out of the sand tent of this woodland one after another, and entered this small clearing, both of us were slightly stunned.

In the middle of the nearly circular glade, we saw a two-person tall "stone pillar" in the hazy moonlight. The stone had been unrecognizable in the weathering of the years, glowing a bleak white in the moonlight, the stone was actually very ordinary, but in our hearts, it was not so feeling.

Facing the stone, Zhao Hong and I both looked at each other, everyone knows, isn't this the "stone man" around Lao Qi Road? Why are you here? That black dog brought us here?!

All three of us turned our faces towards the black dog, knowing that he couldn't speak, but hoping that the spiritual beast would continue to "prompt" something.

The black dog is still sniffing, I don't know what he's sniffing, but in this small clearing we can only see that one stone, what does this have to do with the red leaves and the disappearance of Wang Roar?

Just when I was suspicious, the dog suddenly turned his head and barked at Zhao Hong, who was leading him.

Zhao Hong seemed to understand the beast's howl, and then he immediately let go of the chain in his hand and let the dog run under the "stone man".

Zhao Hong watched the dog's behavior, and lit another cigarette: "This dog has been with me for a long time, I know a little bit about it, it knows what to find and where." ”

I nodded.

Later, as Zhao Hong said, the dog quickly locked a piece of floating soil under the boulder.

The black dog wagged its tail a few times, and then began to dig up the earth desperately.

I don't know what this is, but looking at the excitement of the black dog digging the soil, I guessed that there was something in the land that interested the black dog.

Taking advantage of the gap in the black dog's digging, the silent Zhao Hong moved his short and fat body and handed me a cigarette.

I don't smoke much, but the current oppressive environment has forced me to vent, and these few steps have left me mentally and physically exhausted, and I want to take a break.

After taking the cigarette, I tore off the filter, lit the fire, and smacked my mouth and smoked.

Zhao Hong watched me tear off the cigarette holder, and smiled with a stunned smile: "After so many years, is it still an old habit?" …”

I nodded, pointed to the cigarette with the filter removed, and said, "I learned from the old squad leader, and he said that he can smoke two puffs less." Less harm ......"

"In the army, you believe in the words of our old squad leader the most, and you also learn the best cooking skills......

When Zhao Hong was halfway through speaking, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the black dog that was still digging desperately. Then he turned back to me and said, "Lao Tian, there is something I must tell you, no matter what is dug out of the ground in a moment. You're so prepared. ”

I nodded, and at the same time a feeling of bad premonition ran through my heart. I know that what Zhao Hong wanted to say from the beginning must be closely related to what the black dog dug in the soil.

After Zhao Hong got my approval, he took another puff of cigarette, and then desperately spit out a puff of smoke rings, he looked at the huge stones in the glade, and said thoughtfully: "When I was young, I heard my grandmother tell me about the origin of these 'stone men', they are the incarnation of Yin soldiers......

"Yin soldiers?" I was stunned, pointed to the stone that was being excavated by the black dog, and said, "Are you saying that the stones on Shirengu and Lao Qi Dao are all Yin soldiers?" ”

Zhao Hong nodded, shook his head again, and told me that he didn't know the specifics, I just listened to the word of mouth of the old generation, and there will be inexplicable landslides in the Yimeng Mountains every few decades, and after the landslide, there will be a phenomenon of "Yin Soldier Collection".

Zhao Hong said expressionlessly: "...... After the Yin soldiers are assembled, the 'war' will begin. The war of the Yin soldiers will injure all living creatures within a radius of more than ten miles. ”

If it weren't for the previous experience and weirdness, I felt like I was listening to a joke.

So, I asked a series of questions: "Yin soldiers fighting?" With whom to fight? How to fight? ”

Yes! With whom to fight? It can't be the traffic police I just saw, right?

But Zhao Hong looked at me, but there was no hint of joking on his face, he continued: "My grandmother said...... The Yin soldiers are and the landslide is ...... Something that escapes hits! Every time there is a big landslide, it means that there are 'goblins' who have escaped from the mountains! ”
