"Hey, this old man, his temper is not small." The fat man stepped forward to pay attention to it, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin: "It's wrong for us to come in without knocking on the door, and it's even more wrong to visit rashly without his consent, and if you speak disrespectfully, it's disrespectful." If the three are added together, what is wrong with him teaching us juniors? It's that we lost our etiquette first, and it's not good to go with someone. ”

The fat man twisted his neck and said, "Don't you pay him for it?" ”

Yuan Xiaobai glanced at him and said, "Go quickly, what Brother Wen Bin said is not wrong, no matter how many people are elders, it is more than enough to be your grandfather in his eighties." ”

Both of them are aimed at the fat man, and the fat man can't pull his teeth down, and he is still pouting: "I didn't say anything about him, just making a joke about a cat......"

Unexpectedly, this time Yuan Xiaobai impressed me, and directly reached over and twisted the fat man's ears up, so painful that the fat man screamed and his toes were cushioned.

"To go or not to go?"

"Okay, auntie, you let go, I'll go, I can't go."

Looking at the fat man's surrendered look, I also laughed: "Xiaobai, when did you learn this hand?" ”

Yuan Xiaobai smiled a little playfully: "Just his flamboyant person, how can he not be ruthless?" "This person moves from one environment to another, and over time, he will naturally adapt. The daughter of a dignified capitalist is no different from a rural girl if she is in trouble, but her nature will not change, as long as she adapts to the new environment, she will naturally remove the veil of defense, maybe this is the real Yuan Xiaobai.

The fat man walked to the door of the house and whispered inside: "Grandpa Qiu, I came to make amends to you, it's me who is wrong, don't remember the hatred of our juniors, I'm ignorant." ”

As soon as the words fell, an old man in a blue robe and cloth shoes walked out slowly, holding the black cat in his arms, and one hand kept stroking the hair on the cat's back. The old man walked up to the fat man and gave us a lot of us, presumably recognizing me and Xiaobai, and he said to the fat man: "Don't make amends with me, you make amends with it, if it says forgive you, I have no opinion." ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned himself into an innocent and brilliant child, the expression even I wanted to vomit when I saw it, he said to the black cat in an extremely charming tone: "Sister Cat, I was wrong today, I apologized to you, you have a lot of big cats, forgive me this time?" After speaking, the fat man smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the cat, but before the hand arrived, the cat bared its teeth and turned its head, but fortunately the fat man reached out quickly and was not bitten.

The old man: "Huh! Seeing this, the fat man gritted his teeth and took out a small square from his trouser pocket and said, "Wait! I saw that he slowly peeled off the paper on the outside of the small square, revealing a black thing, and the cat actually licked his tongue and looked directly at the thing in the fat man's hand.

The fat man trembled and stretched out his hand, for fear that he would be bitten, nodded and said to the black cat: "Filial piety to your old man." The black cat was not polite, he took it in his mouth, swallowed it, smacked it twice, and it was gone.

The old man touched the black cat's back, and the cat slouched into his arms and went back to sleep. The old man was willing to look at us and said, "Come in." ”

I whispered after the fat man, "What was it just now?" ”

", beef jerky." "Where did you come from?" "Last night, the old branch secretary was in the net pocket, just like this, I ......" The fat man found that he had slipped his mouth.

Yuan Xiaobai also heard it, and shouted: "Okay, you dare to be a stone, you dare to steal the socialist beef jerky of the people, I must report and expose you!" ”

"Hey, don't, auntie, I am a small farmer whose thinking has not been transformed, and I am not as good as you from a big family, and besides, I am not left behind......"

The room was dark, there was no skylight, and the only window in front was covered with a thick layer of yellow paper. A musty smell mixed with a sour smell made my nose a little nervous, I saw that the fat man and Yuan Xiaobai also had that meaning, but Cha Wenbin was very calm and relaxed.

It was a very simple room, with two large benches with a door panel on which the straw was leaking everywhere, and the bed was blackened with tattered quilts. There was a stove at the head of the bed, on which was a small iron pot, and half of the ears were missing, and there was still some food left in it, whether it was batter or corn flour, and it was half-solidified.

In addition, there was a wooden box next to the bed, and the black cat was coiled in the box at the moment, and a cub kept poking its head out, perhaps the arrival of our strangers made it a little uneasy.

The old man sat on the bed by himself, and there was no place to sit here, so we had to stand aside a little awkwardly.

"Uncle Qiu." Cha Wenbin took out the net bag with canned food and gently put it next to the bed, there were two bottles of canned food in it, and then he said: "We are the educated youth in the tunzi, we have been here for more than half a year, and we are not too familiar with this place. ”

The old man glanced at the things we had mentioned, looked Cha Wenbin up and down, and finally spoke: "Take the things, I can't afford to eat this, I will lose my life." If you have something, ask it, and if you can say it, I'll say it, and don't ask more if you can't say it. ”

A few days ago, we smoked two ponds in the tunzi, and there was nothing in one pond, but there was a gold coin, and the other was full of human bones. There are a total of eighteen such ponds, today I went up the mountain with my friends to take a look, these ponds should not be natural, but someone deliberately did it, the younger generation is puzzled by the mystery of this, I want to ask Uncle Qiu about the origin of these ponds. ”

As soon as I finished asking here, the old man's answer over there was also very simple: "Go out, I don't know." ”

The fat man sighed and said, "Hey, I just said it, I can't ask." ”

Cha Wenbin took a step forward and said in a very fast tone: "No, you know, why don't you say it?" Your daughter, where did she commit suicide? ”

The old man stood up at once, and shouted in a very bad tone: "Say it again! ”

Cha Wenbin did not show weakness, and immediately shot back: "I want to ask, which pond did your daughter throw in!" ”

The two of them are facing each other at the moment, and the atmosphere is very tense, I am afraid that the old man will pick up a stick and chase us, and I don't understand why Cha Wenbin would ask this.

The holding time was about a minute, during which Cha Wenbin did not take half a step back, I really admired him, if I were to be replaced, I am afraid that I would have been stared at by Uncle Qiu and ran away, but he, not moving at all, has an indescribable temperament all over his body, and has surpassed his age.

Finally, the old man sat down and sighed, "Well, how do you know?" ”

"You don't care how I know, but I know you're in trouble, and we can help you."

"How can I help?"

"Help you get her body back and rebury her."

"Really?"

Cha Wenbin nodded and said: "We have already drained two mouthfuls, do we care about taking more mouthfuls, just in exchange, you must tell us the truth what is going on with these eighteen ponds?" ”

Unexpectedly, after Cha Wenbin said this, the old man cried all of a sudden, the tears seemed to be unstoppable, and Yuan Xiaobai quickly took out his handkerchief and handed it over, no one thought that a seemingly fierce old man would be troubled like this by a question. In this world, there is nothing more painful than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, but we were still young at that time, so that Cha Wenbin later experienced it himself before he understood the taste.

The old man patted the edge of the bed and sighed, "Hey, I did it!" ”

Cha Wenbin also sat on the bed and said to Uncle Qiu, "Don't worry, you speak slowly." ”

"Actually, I'm not a local either, my hometown is from Xi'an. When I was young, I was in time for the chaotic season, my parents left early, and I became an orphan at the age of seven or eight, wandering everywhere, stealing, robbing, and coming to everything in order to survive. When he was ten years old, he stole a steamed bun from the kitchen of a landlord's house, and was caught by the owner and chopped off a finger. Uncle Qiu slowly rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and sure enough, the ring finger of his left hand was half shortened. He continued: "Then I began to wander and went all the way north, and they all said that there was food in the north, and when I came to Mongolia I was so hungry that I was rescued by a few passing merchants, and I followed them. Later, I learned that they were not ordinary people, and those people were looking for a treasure. ”

When the fat man heard this, he immediately asked, "What treasure?" ”

"I heard that the big boss inadvertently mentioned that there was once a Qingqiu country here, and the king at that time relied on burning, killing and looting, and robbed the surrounding and now the tribes in the three northeastern provinces and Goryeo. But I don't know why, the country is gone, but there is a great treasure left, and those people have a picture in their hands, parchment, with lines and strips drawn on it, and they all the way to this place. ”

"Treasure found?" The fat man cares a lot about treasures.

Uncle Qiu shook his head, then cast his eyes out of the door, gritted his teeth and said, "What they found was not a treasure, but a devil!" ”
