"Whose death day?" We asked.

Zuo Ying said: "Do you know Xiao Mu?"

Everyone looked at each other. The copper lock asked, "Which little wood?"

"It's the one that is very rich and famous in the history of this city. In case you don't know, the original site of this place was a summer house built specifically for him. ”

As soon as Zuo Ying said this, we all woke up. This little wood is a man of the hour in the city. His background is extremely legendary, he was born in a poor peasant, and his family was really poor and couldn't eat, so he followed an old man to do business with his brother Da Mu, expanded his territory in the shopping mall, and conquered the world.

At that time, the old man was just starting out, but he had already accumulated a group of talents around him. These two brothers don't look at them as poor people's mud legs, but they are very business-talented, especially the big wood resume, and they are in the limelight for a while, and they are known as "Han Xin" by the old man. Although Xiao Mu is not as powerful as the eldest brother, this person is smart and clever, with the cunning of a countryman, and is very pleasing to the elderly. Gradually promoted to a key position. It's a pity that before the world was laid, Da Mu was in the prime of life and died suddenly. It is said that at the funeral of Da Mutou at that time, several bigwigs personally carried the coffin. This honor is the only one in the world.

Zuo Ying looked at us and said, "Thirty years ago today, Xiao Mu died here."

Everyone looked at each other, and this allusion really didn't know the truth.

Copper Lock said: "When you say that, I seem to be a little impressed. After they established a commercial kingdom, Xiao Mu took power and began to build summer resorts across the country. This is his hometown, and naturally it was built. But I really can't imagine that the predecessor of this rock resort was built for him, and he still died here. ”

Ye Daining smoked his pipe and said, "Half a century has passed, what does he have to say?" ”

Zuo Ying looked at everyone, this girl had fairy-like eyes, and seemed to be able to see everything. She swept everyone around and said, "Do you know how he died?" ”

I coughed: "It is said that he died of myocardial infarction." ”

This small piece of wood is a monument to our city, the most important figure in history. Especially about his legendary life, we can even tell children here.

Zuo Ying shook her head: "Today I will talk about his strange cause of death." He died by suicide. ”

Copper Lock immediately denied: "Impossible. I'm a big fan of Little Wood, and I know his history by heart. He was terminally ill in his old age, and was sent to the former Soviet Union to be examined by Western doctors, and everyone issued a critical illness notice. ”

Zuo Ying said: "Do you know the way, Xiao Mu was given a total of five critical illness notices in the last ten years of his life, but each time he was allowed to escape death, and he came back after taking a turn before the ghost gate closed." ”

"So what the hell is going on? Do you know what? Li Yang asked anxiously.

Zuo Ying said: "Of course I know that the little wood was cut to death, which is very miserable." It's dying in a room in this resort. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden thunderclap in the sky outside, and there was a rumbling sound. A strong wind blew in, but still blew out the flame of the candle.

The room was suddenly darkened, and although there was a hazy moonlight, everyone could not really see each other.

"It's raining," Li Yang said, "close the window." ”

When I came to the window, it was pouring rain and thunder outside, and the wind in the mountains was getting colder and colder.

At this moment, suddenly the flashlight flashed outside, and in the heavy rain, I vaguely heard someone shouting: "Save people, come and save people, someone is dead." ”

Everyone present reacted immediately, everyone went back to the room to take out the rain gear, opened the door of the villa and rushed out.

Outside, the sky was like ink, and only the rumbling thunder overhead could be heard, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost impossible to see.

In this kind of weather, the umbrella can't be opened, so you can only wear a raincoat. I turned on my flashlight, and I saw a lot of people running forward in the rain.

I turned around and saw Wang Xiaoyu and grabbed her: "Xiaoyu, the rain is too heavy, you hurry back." ”

Wang Xiaoyu looked anxiously ahead.

Li Yang said: "Lao Liu is right, don't get involved with you women, hurry up and go back and stay honest." You can't solve the problem if you go, the road is slippery in the dark, and there is an accident to take care of you. ”

The girls had no choice but to go back and wait.

A few of us ran along with the crowd. The trail is at the very edge of the resort, with holiday villas on one side and high cliffs on the other, with a choppy river below.

We saw a group of people standing on the cliff, supporting each other, flashlights and looking down.

It rained heavily in the middle of the night, and nothing could be seen, and the light of the flashlight could not shine for five meters.

"What's going on?" Li Yang separated the crowd and walked in.

I followed behind and squeezed in, and at this time, standing on the edge of the cliff were the most senior administrators of the Lantern Alliance, several leaders of the Lantern Alliance. A thin man said, "Lao Li, hold on, the old horse has fallen off the cliff." ”

I saw that Li Yang's expression suddenly became gloomy, and his face was actually a little pale.

"Who's the old horse?" I asked about the copper lock next to me.

The copper lock ignored me, and he rubbed his hands together with an anxious face.

"How did such an adult fall?" Li Yang asked anxiously.

The thin man pointed to a girl who was crying next to him and said, "Ask her." ”

As soon as Li Yang saw this woman, he roared angrily: "Cry chicken feathers, speak!" What's going on? ”

The girl sobbed and said, "It's okay to do the night, but the old horse asked me to come here to enjoy the coolness, and he said he wanted to tell me a story." Then he stood there and shouted at the river, and he didn't stand still..."

"Fake, your uncle, he shouted and shouted, what are you doing running to the edge of the cliff?" Li Yang pointed at the girl and scolded.

I really couldn't stand it, so I went over and stopped him: "It's all an accident, you can say a few words." ”

"Liu Yang, you go! You don't understand what is going on here, don't mess with it. Li Yang turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and even scolded me.

Li Yang didn't pay attention to the girl anymore, discussed with a few leaders, and asked them if they had reported to the police. Some people say that the resort has been notified and the police have been called, but now the weather is not good, and the place is remote, even if they rush over, it will not help.

Li Yang jumped like thunder: "Then what should I do?" Watching the old horse die? ”

The thin man patted him: "Lao Li, accept the reality." With such a high cliff and such a fierce river below, the old horse has little hope of survival. Let's think about how to deal with the aftermath. ”

Li Yang suddenly seemed to lose his strength: "Let everyone go back, it's too dangerous here." You're right, we can't help it. ”

The crowd began to disperse, and at this time the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was indeed too dangerous to stand on the edge of the cliff. The ground is so slippery, if you don't have to stand still, a gust of wind can blow down.

We came to the road from the edge of the cliff, and under the dim street lamp, several Lantern League bigwigs discussed how to deal with the future while walking.

Li Yang suddenly stood on his feet and turned to look at me.

I was hairy by him. He reached out and pushed me aside, and I realized that the girl who had been dating the deceased old horse was right behind me.

Li Yang very unceremoniously shone a flashlight on the girl's face, frowned and asked, "I suddenly remembered, why have I never seen you in the Lantern League, are you a member of our Lantern League?" What's your name? ”

The thin man next to him said, "She belongs to the Lantern League." Lao Li, you quit the management, you may not know about some things recently, our Lantern League has accepted a new batch of members, most of whom are sisters. ”

At this time, a girl's voice sounded: "Lili and I are in a batch. ”

Zuo Ying walked over at some point. She was wearing a raincoat, holding a flashlight in one hand and holding the girl named Lili in the other.

"Oh." Li Yang's face was gloomy: "Your name is Lili?" Don't sleep tonight, come with me, I have something to ask you. ”

Na Lili hid in Zuo Ying's arms, crying so much that pear blossoms brought rain.

The atmosphere at this time was quite solemn and depressing. The thin man squeezed out a smile: "You want to be judged in three sessions." As for it? ”

Zuo Ying seemed to have a very good relationship with Lili, and she said angrily: "Li Yang, what do you mean? Are you saying that the old horse was pushed down by Lili? When a girl encounters such a thing, she has long been frightened, you don't say comfort, and you are still pretending to solve the case here, are you hard-hearted? ”

"I have a clear conscience, what am I afraid of?" Li Yang said.

Lili, who had been crying, suddenly raised her head and stubbornly wiped her tears: "I'll go with you." ”

A few bigwigs of the Lantern League looked at each other, didn't say anything, and followed Li Yang to the villa where we lived.

Qin Dan and Wang Xiaoyu greeted them, and seeing that the atmosphere was very depressing, they asked in a low voice what was wrong.

I pulled them aside and told them all over again. Qin Dan sighed: "No wonder Li Yang lost his temper, do you know who that old horse is?" One of the three elders who founded the Lantern League. One of the three elders went abroad, and one died, leaving him alone. He and Li Yang were lifelong friends, were the introducers of Li Yang to join the Lantern League, and once saved Li Yang's life during an expedition. ”

Only then did I understand why Li Yang was so out of shape.

Everyone went to the living room and hastily wiped the rain with towels. The brass lock turns on the living room light. It may be because of the heavy wind and rain, the brightness of the bulb is somewhat insufficient, and it emits an extremely dim light.

"Can you tell us about the situation?" Li Yang said.

Lili hung her head, her long hair was wet, and the girl looked more and more pitiful: "At that time, Lao Ma asked me to go out with him for a walk. When he came to the edge of the cliff, he told me that he had a very good ghost story, and he would definitely be able to calm everyone and win the championship of this ghost story telling competition. I asked him what it was, and he told me that the name of this ghost story was "Mushroom Man". ”

Hearing this, before the others could react, I sat unsteady and fell to the ground.

Mushroom Man...
