"Oh? What's weird? Zhang Qiang's eyes widened curiously, Old Man Lin glanced at Zhang Qiang and then poured the glass in front of Zhang Qiang full of wine, and poured a glass himself, then raised the wine glass, and looked up to be another glass of wine, Zhang Qiang's eyes kept staring at Old Man Lin, picked up the wine glass and drank the glass of wine, strange that there was a faint aroma in this wine, the aroma was very weird, I can't describe what it tastes like, I just feel that it is very fragrant.

After Xiulan slept, I also went back to my room and poured a glass of wine, ready to suppress the shock and rest. It may have been the middle of the night, and suddenly there was a 'ticking' sound of suona in my ears, the sound of suona was getting closer and closer, and gradually there were bursts of gongs and drums, and the sound was coming in the direction of my house. Old man Lin said while holding the wine jug tightly in one hand.

"Getting married at night?" Zhang Qiang said incredulously, but obviously Zhang Qiang's guess was very weak.

Old man Lin smiled, and the next words made Zhang Qiang's heart tremble suddenly, "Hehe, there is one thing you may not know, you saw a few families when you first entered the village, but Zhang Qiang told you that those people had already left the village, so they were the only ones left in the village a long time ago." That's why I wonder where the sound of gongs and drums came from. ”

Zhang Qiangnuo nodded: "I see!" ”

Old man Lin sighed and said: "Yes, so my heart was suspended at that time, I have lived most of my life, experienced countless ups and downs, I was never afraid when Little Japan swept Caoyang Village, but I was really shocked that night." And the sound of gongs and drums was mixed with the laughter of several people. I immediately extinguished the kerosene lamp in the house, and pulled out the machete pressed against the edge of the kang, this knife was handed down by my ancestors, when I joined the guerrillas, I cut off a lot of little Japanese dogs' heads, and the knife splashed with dog blood should also ward off evil spirits! ”

Zhang Qiang nodded, and then poured a glass of wine for Old Man Lin, and at the same time, Zhang Qiang also wanted to taste the wine again.

After drinking the wine, the old man Lin continued: "After a long time, I heard that the voice was approaching, and it seemed to be at the door of my house, so I picked up the knife, tiptoed down from the kang, and walked to the door gently, holding the window and looking out, my heart almost came out of my throat at a glance, dog, at that time my yard was red, as if it was on fire, and this yard was as bright as the day. The sound of the suona was still 'ticking', I mustered up my courage, pushed the door open, approached the courtyard, and in an instant, the suona sound stopped abruptly. It instantly became pitch black in front of him, and only a hairy moon hung in the sky. ”

I held the knife tightly and pushed open the courtyard door, but there was nothing at the door. Actually, this was already expected by me. I went back to the house with my knife in my hand, and the night was over. When I got up the next morning to cook, I found that Xiulan was still sleeping, so I prepared to cook, but I noticed that there was something strange in the house, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. Suddenly, at this time, I remembered that I originally had three water tanks at home, because there was only one well at the entrance of the village in this village, so I prepared a few more tanks and went to pick up water once every three to five days, and it could be used for a long time. At this time, there were only two water tanks in the house. Old man Lin said and gently licked his chapped lips.

"I've always been vigilant in my sleep, and if someone sneaks in, I'll be aware of it, and the water tank is not a small object, and the three of them were filled with water just yesterday, and now there are no water stains on the ground, and if you want to steal those three people, you need at least three or five strong men to carry them together. There is absolutely no way I can't hear such a big action, not to mention that there are no footprints left on the ground, you know, we hunters have always relied on observing the footprints of animals to follow the traces of prey, so we will be very sensitive to footprints. Old man Lin's words made Zhang Qiang's heart completely hang.

"I had been thinking about the whereabouts of those two jars all day, and Xiulan woke up, but she was still screaming and thirsty, barely eating a mouthful of food and drinking only water. The day had finally passed, and that night I had put out the kerosene lamp early, and leaned against the edge of the kang with a knife in my hand, and if I heard that sound today, I was ready to rush out to see what was going on. Old man Lin said and coughed lightly.

"How was that night?" Zhang Qiang couldn't help but ask.

"Did that happen again?" Zhang Qiang then asked.

Old man Lin was silent again, he sighed, and then said eloquently: "The next night until midnight, I didn't hear that kind of noisy suona sound, and it was very calm. I leaned against the wall with the knife, and fell asleep in a drowsy state, and faintly heard the sound of 'babbling' in my sleep, like a female actor singing in front of the stage, but there was no accompaniment, and the sound was very penetrating, as if it had directly penetrated Zhang Qiang's brain. I woke up suddenly, but the sound of 'babbling' was still in my ears, and when I listened, I realized that the sound was coming from the doorway again. I couldn't hesitate any longer, so I rushed out with my knife and kicked the door open, and the sound suddenly became as ethereal as a filament, as if it were wafting in the mountains. ”

Old man Lin described it in great detail, making Zhang Qiang feel as if he was there, and his entire back was wet with cold sweat.

"Unlike last time, this time the voice has not disappeared. I carried the knife and kept chasing in the direction of the sound, it was very dark that night, I clenched the machete in my hand, and quickened my steps, the further I walked, the louder the sound in my ears, walking and walking, I was suddenly stunned, it turned out that the sound was so similar to Xiulan's. Old man Lin's words reminded Zhang Qiang of something, and he continued, "I didn't think much about it, so I rushed forward quickly, and in front of the stone at the entrance of the village, Xiulan was wearing a red robe that I found out of nowhere, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, and the sound of 'babbling' in her mouth continued.

I stepped forward and grabbed Xiulan, who knew that she couldn't pull her at all like she had fallen into an evil spirit. At this moment, my eyes caught a glimpse of the black shadow again, and then let go of Xiulan, and waved the machete in my hand to cut the black shadow. Because it was a shadow, I thought it would look empty, but I didn't know that it was like a hole in the wood, and before I could reflect it, the knife edge had begun to exert force, and the force was extremely great, and the machete came out of my hand in an instant, and at this time, Xiulan's 'babbling' suddenly stopped, and I caught a glimpse of her lying limp on the ground.

I hurriedly rushed over, helped Xiulan up, shouted a few times in a row to see that she didn't respond, and then looked at the black shadow, along with the machete, disappeared without a trace. So I took Xiulan home, but as soon as I entered the house, Zhang Qiang found that something was wrong. Old man Lin said and looked at Zhang Qiang, as if waiting for Zhang Qiang to think about what he was asking.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qiang pandered.

Old man Lin suddenly waved his hand at Zhang Qiang and made a silent finger, and then stretched his head out of the door, Zhang Qiang also held his breath and listened curiously. The room was as silent as death, and suddenly there was a rustling sound in Zhang Qiang's ears.

The sound became louder and louder, like a tide, Old Man Lin immediately stood up, quickly walked to the window, opened the curtains, the curtains opened, I don't know when the lights were already bright, the original unmanned houses were lit up at this time, Zhang Qiang was shocked, could it be that he had encountered a ghost?

To be honest, there was only one feeling at the time, whether Zhang Qiang was in reality or a dream, before that, Zhang Qiang also felt fear because of the appearance of Climb Kui, but Climb Kui can be seen after all, and at this time Zhang Qiang really realized what it means to be frightened, those things are hidden around you, but you don't know what they are.

Old man Lin looked at it for a while, then put down the curtains, jumped off the kang with an arrow step, and walked over to the room opposite Niu Niu, Zhang Qiang opened the curtain and looked out, not long after Old Man Lin walked into Niu Niu's room, the lights in front of him suddenly all went out, and instantly it became dark in front of him, and then Zhang Qiang heard the sound of Old Man Lin walking.

Zhang Qiang turned his head and met Old Man Lin's eyes, his face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he leaned against the wall and meditated for a long time without saying a word, before he suddenly said, "I didn't scare you just now!" ”

Zhang Qiang shook his head.

"Where did I tell you just now?" Old man Lin seems to have had no audience for a long time, so many things have been held in his chest, and when he met Zhang Qiang today, he said it in one go, and vomited it quickly.

"You came home with your daughter in your arms and found that something was wrong!" Zhang Qiang repeated, and at the same time, he carefully noticed that there seemed to be an extra black thing in Old Man Lin's hand.

"Yes, yes!" Old man Lin's words interrupted Zhang Qiang's train of thought, "I came home and found that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, something seemed to be gasping in the dark, and then I put down Xiulan and lit the kerosene lamp, only to find that the original two remaining cylinders were missing one again."

After I settled my daughter, I went back to the hall to investigate carefully, but I never found any clues, if it was really dirty, then what did they want those two tanks for? I was only three or four years old at the time, and they were still living in Cao Yu Village, and the three tanks appeared overnight, and when we left Cao Yu Village, my father insisted on taking the three tanks with me. Speaking of this, Old Man Lin got off the kang and said to Zhang Qiang, "Young man, come, take a look!" ”

Zhang Qiang curiously followed the old man Lin down the kang, and in the northeast corner of the hall was placed a black vat more than one meter high, with the heads of five monsters protruding from the tank, although it was not big, but the appearance was very hideous. There were several faint scratches on the edges of the cylinder, one of which was clearer, and in the scratches a pale green fluff appeared.

Zhang Qiang approached the cylinder, and gently tapped twice on the cylinder to make an "empty" sound, in fact, when he saw the green fluff, Zhang Qiang always suspected that this cylinder should be made of copper, which just verified Zhang Qiang's guess.

"This thing is made of copper?" Zhang Qiang asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes!" Saying that, Old Man Lin pulled Zhang Qiang back to the house, and after sitting down, he said: "I have been working on this jar all night, thinking that there must be something strange about this jar, but I still can't see any mystery. The next day Xiulan woke up, I asked her where she found the red costume, she looked at her clothes at a loss, her face immediately became bloodless, and then quickly took off the clothes and threw them away, but she didn't say a word about the events of last night.

After breakfast, I came to the barren grassland alone with a shotgun on my back, looking for the barren grave where my daughter fainted the night before with a vague impression, suddenly a black thing broke into my eyes, I immediately came to the spirit, and ran wildly to where, there was indeed a deserted grave there, and what surprised Zhang Qiang even more was the black thing...... "Old man Lin said here and raised his neck and drank a large glass of wine. R1058
