Chapter 55: Silence in the Moonlight
Gengqing also wants to go with him, but this time I didn't let him go, maybe it's a mistake to take him everywhere to find graves in the past few days, a lot of things shouldn't be experienced by him, it's me who is too rash, this time let Li Dadong and Ma Shunhong go with him is different, Li Dadong is full of evil spirits, for fear that there is nothing to do, and Ma Shunhong is honest and steady, after all, he is older, he has more experience, and he will not be as easy to mess up as Qing, the front is uncertain to find, but this time it is a real way to track down the drought ghost, if there is any emergency, At least it won't be as messy as the night before,
My wife quickly caught up with me and stuffed me with some food and water, and I nodded gratefully and took it with me, and there was no need to be polite at this time, because I was so hungry that I would have forgotten that I was still hungry if I hadn't seen it.
Li Dadong took the lead in the front, he didn't say much along the way, it can also be said that since he came out, he hasn't said anything, but Ma Shunhong asks long and short questions from time to time, and seems to be very curious about our experience in the past few days, of course, with the old sheep, he can naturally hear a true and false ghostly anecdote,
I walked two steps faster, came to Li Dadong's side and asked, "Have you ever gone back to the village to see the dozens of families who moved away for so long?" ”
Li Dadong was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "No, the village is like that, and it doesn't mean anything for them to go back." ”
I looked at Li Dadong with a slight astonishment, I couldn't figure out how his mood could change so quickly, from the cemetery where he led the villagers to pick up the living block, to the one who led people to rush into the camp to fight the drought, it seemed that he was in a state of hatred, and the villagers hated and feared the drought, hated it for causing a three-year drought in alpaca village, and were afraid ,,, afraid that it would really appear in front of the villagers and hurt people.
Hate to hate, fear to fear, it's not wrong to fight drought and eliminate demons, but Li Dadong's behavior is a little excessive, and it is seriously excessive, at this moment, he is surprisingly calm, it is really a little incomprehensible, but I believe that I will definitely know in the near future,
Soon, we rushed to the Qilin Ditch that we had been looking for a few days ago, according to Ma Shunhong, to get to the place where the spring is, we must cross the Qilin Ditch, and then go southwest for more than three miles to reach, there is a huge mountain col, dozens of families in the village who moved over are living in the mountain col,
At present, we must first cross the Qilin ditch, or we have to detour the mountain road, which will take at least five or six miles more, in order to save time, and in order to get to the destination as soon as possible, we have to take the fastest shortcut.
In this way, we have to go through the mountain road we have walked before, the mountain road is very difficult to walk, it can also be said that this is not a mountain road at all, just along the slope, I thought that in such an environment, it should be me and the old sheep to go forward, who knows that Li Dadong took the lead in the front, and walked calmly, as if he didn't care about the bumps under his feet,
I quietly asked Lao Yang, "Who else is in Li Dadong's family?" ”
Lao Yang looked up at Li Dadong in front of him silently, and then said in a deep voice: "Dongzi, he is alone in his family, and now he is in his early thirties, and he is still a single." ”
The so-called Dongzi naturally refers to Li Dadong.
"Oh." I paused in surprise and quipped, "Are there a lot of singles in Alpaca Village?" ”
Lao Yang replied casually: "Hehe, that's right, but Dongzi is slightly different, he originally had a happy family when he was a child, and his parents were also well-known good people in the village, but ,,, just twenty years ago, his parents actually passed away, no one knows why, because according to the memories of the people in the village, his parents' health has always been very good, and they also love to talk and laugh, if it is impossible to say that it is a sudden illness,,, alas, since the death of his parents, he is only a teenager and does not like to play much, He rarely goes out of the house, but there are many stories about him fighting with the children in the village. ”
Speaking of this, Lao Yang's words paused, and I immediately stopped, for no other reason, at this time Li Dadong suddenly stopped in front, slowly turned his head, glanced at Lao Yang coldly, and then turned his head with a cold snort, and continued to hurry,
Lao Yang smiled bitterly, pointed to Li Dadong's back and said, "You see, he is like that, as if he has been owed three hundred oceans all day long, hum." ”
I smiled and nodded, and then sighed lightly, maybe Li Dadong's current personality is mostly related to the death of his parents, yes, the originally happy family suddenly suffered a great change, and it is strange that he can bear it when he is young, I can understand him, but why did he behave so abnormally in this drought incident,
Under the moonlight, the four of us walked in the desolate ravine, surrounded by a hazy black and white, it is now the second half of the night, it is estimated that it is not far from dawn, it seems that we have to speed up the pace, if we can't catch the destination before dawn, then the drought ghost said that it was caught, and even the shadow was difficult to see,
In a short section of the ravine, we walked for more than an hour before coming out, in front of which was a circular road, Ma Shunhong pointed to the road and said: "After the road, you can see dozens of residences not far away." ”
My heart froze, and I suddenly thought of one thing, if the drought is out of those dozens of homes, if that's the case, then the situation of those villagers is worrying.
"Kill the marl, kill it, kill it."
Suddenly, two cold words came out of Li Dadong's mouth inexplicably, as if they were pulled out from between his teeth, which made people tremble, and now I was a little skeptical, whether Li Dadong's mental condition was a bit of a problem, how could he hate the drought so much, this hatred is a bit more than the attitude of ordinary villagers towards the drought fish, and I gradually have some complicated thoughts in my heart,,,
Passing through the sandwich road, there is a flat mountain in front, and under the moonlight, dozens of houses in the distance are simply located at the foot of the mountain, quiet and somewhat weird.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of what appeared to be a small village, we were about to look for the location of the spring, when suddenly a sharp cry came from the darkness: "Who,." ”
Such a reckless sound came out, the four of us were all panicked, Ma Shunhong hurriedly approached me and Lao Yang, and I touched the money sword, Lao Yang did not know when he was carrying a yellow talisman in his hand, but Li Dadong, trembling all over, took out a sharp knife from his pocket and was about to rush up, at the same time, I inadvertently saw a petite figure behind the shadow of the tree, and hurriedly stopped: "Dongzi stop." ”
It was very much like the figure of a child, thin and thin, it was hard to imagine that it was so late in the sky, and it was the second half of the night, how could there be a child who did not sleep and hid behind the trunk to scare people.
But it was really a child, because I didn't feel a trace of yin in him, he wasn't a ghost.
Li Dadong stopped halfway tremblingly, looked back at me with a sharp knife, and said with a surprised face: "For, why." ”
