None of us spoke first, you look at me and I look at you, all of them looked nervous, Xiaobao was very curious why we were so scared, and asked one by one.

Dabao couldn't resist him, so he slowly explained the reason.

For the so-called Mazi Grandpa in our mouth, he is actually a foreigner who settled in our village. In our impression when we were children, he was extremely withdrawn, his face was full of pockmarks, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, and it was usually more terrible to see him at night than to see a ghost. He lives alone in the mountains, and he has hardly seen anyone he has contact with, and if any of the children are naughty, his parents will scare him with Grandpa Mazi, and the effect is very good, and I am one of them.

But there is one thing that is very strange, when I was a child, I could often hear my parents chattering, but I haven't heard much about it in recent years, maybe we don't need to scare this trick when we grow up, so it's understandable that Xiaobao doesn't know.

Dabao's reminder, we seem to have returned to those terrible nights when we were children, in the night, an old man with a pockmarked face was lying on the window, staring at the disobedient child with brass bell-like eyes from time to time, and he would be caught and eaten if he was not careful.

That being said, now that I've grown up, I still have some nostalgia.

The time was close to noon, the sun shone on us, lazily very comfortable, several of us couldn't help but start hungry, then I remembered that I didn't even eat breakfast, just happened Xiaobao's mother came back, we also dispersed, and then came back to discuss after lunch.

……

After returning home, I looked through the "Thirty-six Techniques of Taoism" again, and there was no other way than to use the earth eye technique.

After lunch, I came to Xiaobao's house and saw Dabao chatting with Xiaobao at the door, and from his tone, it was concluded that his second uncle had hidden the loess very secretly, and even his second aunt did not know, let alone the incident in the Guilin Forest.

After waiting for a while, Junko hurried back and saw that he was carrying a black sack, and he didn't know what he had put in it.

"What's going on, where did you go, it's still so grinding to eat." I complained about him.

Junko didn't answer, but took out four slingshots from the black sack and handed them to each of us, so that we could see if we could use them.

We played with it, and we all thought it was a novelty, not that we hadn't played with a slingshot, but that the slingshot that Junko brought was twice as big as usual. I found out that the bow frame and projectiles were still made of peach wood, and I had already guessed Junko's plan seven or eight points in my heart.

"You wouldn't think Grandpa Asako was a zombie, would you?" I asked him in a whisper.

Junko nodded. "I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case."

I dusted the bow stand and asked, "Where did you get these slingshots, they're old things!" ”

"Good eyesight, these slingshots are not mine, my father hid under the bed, and I found them by chance, there are more than a dozen, and I picked four leather bands that didn't break." As she spoke, Runko held up to a tree more than a dozen meters away.

Runzi's words make me wonder, this is clearly a thing to suppress evil, just like Jiang Jiezheng's peachwood gossip mirror, it is impossible to use it for no reason, could it be that Runzi's father was frightened by the big bat and the corpse-headed barbarian king before, and prepared defensive weapons, so he made so many peachwood slingshots, it is really interesting.

When I was panicking, I only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and the peach wood projectile hit the trunk of the tree, smashing out a large hole and spewing out a lot of debris. We were pleasantly surprised by the power of the Peachwood Slingshot, and we started to play with it, and for a while, the surrounding tree trunks became our targets. After having fun, we picked up all the projectiles and counted them, twenty in total, and each of us got five. "Let's go now, and try to get back before the sun goes down." I reminded. When we were ready, we headed up the mountain. Grandpa Asako's home is on the back hill of Mizusawa Village, on the same road as the collective cemetery in the village, almost close to the top of the mountain. When I was a child, my grandfather held funerals for other families, and ran to the mountains all year round, and he often said to me: people, no matter how beautiful they were in life, they were just a rotten skin when they died, and they could simply have a place to correct themselves, so no matter where they lived when they were alive, as long as they were at ease, the ground and the ground were just everyone's home. I didn't understand what he meant, until the cemetery covered the mountains came into my eyes, and I found out the reason why Grandpa Mazi had lived in the back mountain for many years, maybe this was where he should be. Although every year Qingming will come to the grandfather's grave to worship, but this time is the first time, since it is here, I will also go to kowtow, I hope it can bless us with a smooth trip. Runzi and they are also in favor, after all, worship the ancestors in the cemetery and ask for peace of mind. After worshipping my grandfather, we continued up the mountain. "Twelve, look ......" From Junko's pointing, we saw a large area of clouds drifting in the distance, and it seemed that it was another rainstorm. It was still a sunny day just now, and now there is the possibility of becoming a "soup chicken", and the rainstorm of this season is coming in a flash, and it will only be about five minutes left for us. I said to the others, "It's still some distance from Grandpa Asako's house, let's quickly find a place to hide." "Okay......" they said in unison. We picked up the pace, and from time to time we looked for caves, stone eaves, and the like nearby. Soon, we moved away from the tombs, and the further we went to the top of the hill, the more remote and dense the forest became. The rainstorm came earlier than we expected, and the "boom" fell on our heads, and with gusts of wind, the rain hit us heavily, as if blocking our path. We stepped on slippery mud and rocks, and most of our bodies were already soaked, and we couldn't find a place to hide, and we were likely to get cold. At this moment, Junko, who was running at the front, seemed to have noticed something, stopped in her tracks, and shouted, "Look, it's a cave." Sure enough, a cave obscured by many foliage sporadically exposed a few black crevices, as if it was spying on guests from afar in the dark. Caught in the rain, we trotted down the ramp into the cave, and no matter what we were going to face, no one thought that we were not the first guests, nor the last. A flash of lightning in the sky blew up several big trees in the mountains, and the sparks were quickly swallowed up by the rain...... "Oh, it's really unlucky, such a heavy rain, the freshly washed pants are in the soup again." Junko scolded with a smile. It's good luck that you found the cave, otherwise it would have been even worse...... Xiaobao, take off your clothes. Dabao took off his undershirt and wrung out a puddle of water. I wiped the rain from my head and looked at the cave.

The cave is not large, but you can see the edge at a glance, and from the weathering of the rocks and the growth of the vegetation, it is clear that this is a natural cave. But I vaguely felt as if something was missing.
