The cat, Yuan Xiaobai named it "Ami", I don't know what this means, in short, in the days when Cha Wenbin disappeared, it became our biggest dependence.

At the same time, strange things began to happen in the village, first of all, the water level of those bottomless pools began to drop rapidly, sinking more than ten meters every day; Second, every night at about 12 o'clock, a faint flash of red light can be seen on the west mountain, and the sound of gongs and drums and chants can be clearly distinguished; Thirdly, whoever has a baby in his house will not sleep at night, but will weep until dawn. Fourthly, the family with a dog hides in the den and does not dare to go out all night, but it is common to hear people passing by in the middle of the night.

The older people in the village said that there were Yin soldiers crossing the border, and those sounds were made by them, and some people got up at night to urinate urgently at night and saw a row of people in white mourning clothes passing by outside the door, and they were so frightened that they peed their pants on the spot. In those days, everyone tacitly understood that this kind of thing would rather be believed than not. So the door closed every night, the lights went out, and we entered the house early, and so did we.

Yuan Xiaobai is a girl, and she also moved to our room, with a curtain in the middle. During the day, the three of us borrowed the hunting dogs of the Miao Lan family to go into the mountains to find people, and for five days, Cha Wenbin still had no news.

On the evening of the fifth day, we were about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the door outside. The fat man was overjoyed, thinking that Cha Wenbin was back, so he ran to open the door without even wearing clothes, but it was the old branch secretary standing outside the house.

It was an old fox, and he would never get out of the hole without the smell of chicken, and the purpose of his coming was nothing more than those few pieces of gold.

It turned out that the water in the pond was about to bottom out, and he was afraid that someone in the village would find out first and wanted us to go down first. He felt that such a catastrophe from the sky didn't give him anything, so it proved that his life was very hard, and what kind of female ghost did he care about?

The fat man unceremoniously gave an eviction order: "Don't go, at least we won't go, you have to go, find someone else, we have to go into the mountain tomorrow, and we have to rest." Besides, the village has not been peaceful these days. Then he deliberately glanced out the window and whispered, "Haunted......"

The old thing is really not a good stubble, so he played a scoundrel here: "Hey, I can't care about the haunting, you brought this matter up first, and if you want to regret it now, there is no door!" ”

Hearing him say this, I also retorted: "We can't take care of the matter of the pool." ”

"You can't take care of it? Okay, you spit out all the stuff I brought that day, the canned food, the fruit, the pastries. As long as you spit it out, it's none of your business. The old thing took a puff of cigarette and glanced at Yuan Xiaobai on the bed and said: "A few little rabbit cubs ran to me to cheat and eat and drink, but the courage is not small, I tell you, Lao Tzu was anti-union outside the customs back then, and I haven't seen any wind and waves!" If you really don't go, then it's okay, you can choose the two paths yourself. ”

"The first way, my son is planning to marry a daughter-in-law, and if you cheat me out of the dowry I prepared, then his marriage will naturally be ruined. Or, give me this girl as a daughter-in-law; Either I'll make a report to my superiors and say that you're being pompous here, that you're stubborn in your bourgeois thinking, and that you're suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and that you've been investigating the death of the commissioner for the past few days, and that, as far as I know, he was interrogating you that day! ”

"You!" I was speechless for a while, I really didn't expect this old thing to hit Xiaobai with all his ideas. "Don't spew blood, he was obviously stoned to death by a natural disaster like everyone else!"

"Who can prove it? In my opinion, even if you were exposed during the interrogation and took the opportunity to kill him in order to escape responsibility, I will send someone to send you to the county tomorrow. After the old thing finished speaking, he made a gesture to leave, and the fat man grabbed him and said with a smile: "Oh, old branch secretary, you see that you are angry with our children, what a big deal, why don't you go down and touch a few fish, let's go, let's go!" Early in the morning, you will listen to the letter at home, this pool of big yellow croaker is a top delicacy, we are still the old rules, one person and half, you can rest assured. ”

"Half? Haha" The old thing suddenly laughed and then looked at us viciously and said, "Those who eat our tun and live in our tun are all on this and want to negotiate with me for a price?" I tell you, send me as much as you can catch, and if you have one less yellow croaker, I will immediately report to the county that you collaborated with the enemy and killed people! ”

"Cheng, Cheng!" The fat man held the old thing's hand and said with a smile on his face: "You don't remember the villain, I'll do something, don't worry, this thing didn't run, you ask me one less word!" ”

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!"

I saw that the old thing was going away, and as soon as I closed the door, I pushed him towards the fat man, and pushed him to the table, and I yelled at him, "Are you crazy, and you promise that?" This is to send us to the pit, Uncle Qiu is not dead, do you think Cha Wenbin is really joking when he told us? ”

"What are you murdering!" The fat man also had a seizure, and he pointed out the window and shouted, "You have what it takes to yell at him!" ”

I turned my face and snorted coldly, "At least I won't be at the mercy of others like a slave to him!" ”

"Alright, don't make any noise!" Yuan Xiaobai persuaded: "When are you still fighting in the nest, fat man, we can't agree to this." We didn't kill that person, so many people in the village died, could it be that we did it? Are we innocent or afraid that he will not be slandered? ”

I followed and said, "That's it! ”

"I said two, innocent?" The fat man sneered: "Hehe, who are you going to talk to about innocence in this world?" Xiao Yi, is your father really a counter-revolutionary? And Xiaobai, your father is a serious businessman and is not beaten into a capitalist in the same way! And my father, didn't he come forward to protect his old comrades-in-arms who were wronged, what kind of crime did he commit? Innocent! You guys are really naïve, he said that if you are black, you are black, which makes people under the eaves and have to bow their heads. ”

The fat man's words made me and Xiaobai speechless, yes, how did we come to this savage tun, did we forget?

I was still unwilling: "Then be at his mercy?" ”

"I'm going to do his big dreams in the spring and autumn! See that I don't kill him, Xiao Yi, you will go with me tomorrow, let's grind the foreign workers below, and deceive that old thing. ”

"What do you want to do? Kill somebody to do away with a witness? ”

"Murder? We can't do anything that violates the law, and it is still necessary to teach a lesson. Xiaobai, you clean up and salute, let's agree to see you at the entrance of the village tomorrow evening, we can't stay in this ghost place anymore, we have to run! ”

According to the fat man's plan, I went down first, and then the fat man went to find the branch secretary half an hour later, and said that he had found a large amount of treasure and needed him to go down and move it together. His virtue must have been open, and when he went down, the fat man and I flashed into the hole where we found that day, and then cut off the ladder.

Early the next morning, as agreed, I went down first, and it was the second pond that I drained that day. Half an hour later, the fat man ran to the branch secretary's house and muttered in his ear, the old thing was really fooled.

The fox was always cunning, and he stood on it and wandered but refused to go down, and as agreed, I raised my flashlight and shook it three times. The old thing, after making sure that there was someone below, said to the fat man, "You go down first, and I'll follow!" ”

"Cheng, then uncle, take it easy, let's find a treasure trove below, there is a golden bodhisattva like me and Xiao Yi can't move! We're really going to send it this time! ”

The old thing's mouth was about to open when he heard this, and he said as he crawled down: "Hehe, boy, don't worry, Uncle won't treat you badly!" Hey, slow down, slow down! ”

The fat man's speed was naturally faster than him, and after a while, he disappeared from the sight of the old branch secretary, but where could he take care of it at this juncture, anyway, there was only one ladder, and the fat man could fly before him? This is a real grasshopper called a rope, and no one can run!

When I saw the fat man appear in front of me, I pinched his foot, which startled the fat man, and his hand almost fell off without grabbing it.

"Here, here, come in!"

I took the fat man's hand and dragged it in, fortunately, his figure could barely get in, and as soon as he came in, he muttered to me: "My little Xia Ye, don't stretch out your hand like a zombie, this black rumbling is really scary to death!" ”

"Did he come down?"

"Shhhh Listen, it's almost there! ”

Sure enough, in a few moments I heard the old thing's panting, and the miner's lamp on his head swept in front of me, but now his attention was all under his feet and he didn't notice us. After another four or five minutes, I heard someone shouting, "What about you two little rabbits?" ”

I looked around, and the old thing below was shining around with a miner's lamp, this guy, you were planted this time!

I decisively pulled out the firewood knife on my waist to cut the rope ladder at the entrance of the cave, the rope "snapped" and fell to the ground, the old thing looked up, I also turned on the miner's lamp and pointed it at his face and said: "Old zaar, dare to frame us, you just wait for death under here!" ”

To my surprise, this old thing didn't get angry, but laughed and said, "Little rabbit cub, play with the master, you guys are still a little bit!" ”

"Okay, if you keep talking hard, we won't accompany you, bye!" After that, I reached out to grab the ladder outside but grabbed it empty, I touched it up and touched it, something was wrong, just now I remembered cutting it at the entrance of this hole, where is the ladder?

"Do you really think I can't see that little bit of your teachings? To tell you the truth, I expected you to have no good intentions, my two sons have already pulled the ladder up above, I can't get out, don't think about it! Ability, you, okay, see how Lao Tzu goes out to clean you up, together with that little girl, none of you go, all of you will be sent to the county! ”
