On the county road to Qingmeng Township, I have been thinking about a question. Before that, dwarf mules were often in the rumors of our childhood, but it is impossible to say that they are as common as hares and snakes in the grass. My uncle has guarded the mountains and forests all his life, and when I talked to him before, he just replied to me: "Pull the dick!" "Yes, people like my uncle, who have been guarding the forest and preventing fire in the deep mountains and old forests all day long, think that it is just a rumor, then I can basically assume that the dwarf mule rarely appears in this world, and it has a fixed and hidden range of activities.

Except for a few pranks, the dwarf mule rarely commits crimes, which even Luo Eighteen has to admit in the remarks of the broken book.

However, from the two cases of corpse mutilation in Segai Village, the murderous methods of the dwarf mules began to be exposed to us.

Why did they want to kill two innocent people?

At first, we didn't know that in the mural-filled hall of the cave, I saw the internal organs on the stone platform and thought it was a little strange. Later, Luo Ermei's cousin, Luo Deaf from the Seventh Group of Zhongyang Village, told me that this is a very mysterious black witchcraft, which calculates the birth date and death date of the deceased, and then kills eleven people, respectively takes the five internal organs, limbs, yang objects and the most dear head, accurate to the time, and then merges into the evil stone to summon a big black sky.

Could such a vicious black magic be the work of a group of unwieldy mules?

I was deeply suspicious at the time, and Luo Deaf didn't finish talking to me, so he fought with me.

After that, he never mentioned it again.

Two days ago, I asked about the whereabouts of Luo Deaf, and Ma Haibo told me that this old man died during the labor camp and committed suicide. He used the sharpened plastic toothbrush handle to cut the blood vessels in his neck and thighs, bleeding all over the ground. According to friends in prison, the situation at that time was very miserable, none of the inmates in the same cell found it, and when I woke up in the morning, several wounds turned white, and the scene was particularly horrible, and the blood flowed on the ground, like a strange picture, which made people feel chilled at a glance.

The dead old Mr. Ouyang once told me that there have been a lot of strange things in the past few years......

The guide Lao Jin had a good year, he was a farmer in Segai Village in his early years, and he collected medicinal herbs and wild animals in the mountains and forests all the year round, and later moved to the countryside to do business, collecting medicinal materials from the villagers, and then selling them outside. Because last time it was a mission sent by the township, he took it with him. This time we came to him again, and he was a little reluctant, even if he explained the stakes to him, he didn't believe it.

Later, it was the leader of the township who spoke, and he reluctantly walked along.

When the car drove to Segai Village, it was difficult to move forward, the road was bumpy, my buttocks hurt to death, I walked down and rubbed it, looking at this familiar rural scene, on the country dirt road, there seemed to be a middle-aged man giggling and running towards me: "Show you, I picked up a lump of gold ......", and Duoduo was also picked up here by me as a kitten and a puppy.

After more than a year, I revisited the old place, and I felt a lot of emotion.

Standing next to me, he looked at the fields and old and simple houses in the distance, frowned, and said You are really poor here!

I was silent, who doesn't say that our hometown is beautiful, but the picturesque scenery can be eaten?

Wang Baosong is almost forty years old, and he is still a single, just because he is poor.

Everyone got out of the car and packed their gear. This time, a batch of chemical protective clothing was specially approved, the kind that can wrap the whole body tightly, a total of fifteen sets. This is for ordinary people to guard against poisonous snakes and reptiles when entering the cave. In addition, supplies such as supplies, anti-mosquito medicines, licorice to prevent dwarf mules from being confused, and fresh glutinous rice are all prepared. Unlike last time, this is a prepared operation.

The commander-in-chief of the team is Hong Anguo (we call him Boss Hong) of the Religious Affairs Bureau, and the military commander is Wu Gang. Ma Haibo and Luo Fu'an were just getting sick, and a police officer surnamed Liu (who had been in the cave) walked slowly in the middle of the line. I walked at the end of the line, slowly, as if we were coming to the wilderness.

Truth be told, the greatest danger of the mule is its ability to manipulate people's minds. In addition to this, it may be able to guide poisonous insects. And in terms of the strength and strength of its body, it is not at the same level as me at all, otherwise I would not be able to subdue it with steel-toed labor protection shoes alone.

Dwarf mules can confuse people, and can be dissolved by chewing licorice or betel nut. In my opinion, this operation was a bit of a fuss, and the chicken was killed with a knife.

But everything needs to be cautious, and if there are many people, it is good to have a response.

The road into the mountain is not easy to walk, Wangshan ran a dead horse, this is true, fortunately the weather is not bad this time, and it is not drizzling like last time, so there is not much mud road to go, which also saves a lot of physical strength. Passing by the seventh group of Segai Village, I deliberately pointed to the house of Luo Deaf, showed the miscellaneous hairy trail, and said did you see it? The most powerful vein of the Zhongyang Miao Gu was cut off here.

Isn't there another child who ran away, and I haven't seen it yet?

When he said this, I couldn't help but think of a pair of extremely resentful eyes. I laughed and said that such a big kid might be moving bricks incognito in that construction site? But then again, Duoduo's death was operated by that young man, this kid, it's amazing.

Miscellaneous Xiaodao looked at the crowd in front of him with a melancholy face, and said that today's operation, I always feel a little unsmooth?

My eyebrows jumped, how do I say this?

He pointed to the tiger cat flying freely in the sky, and said that it was the fat hen who said, the terrain here is undulating, endless, looking at the mountains, walking the water, the more people, the more disasters. If you look at that "asshole pass", constantly talking to people, and his face dripping with melancholy, you can see that he is not optimistic about this operation either. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and when the officials slapped their thighs in the office, I didn't say a word, I just didn't bother to quarrel with those who were full of confidence.

I said, "You're still here?"

He smiled and said that he was idle anyway, my old Xiao traveled all over the world, isn't it just a frightening fun? Oh...... Remember, here you go! He took out a brush with a black silk sleeve from his pocket, and said Wong Tai Sin wolf pen, give it to you first, if you fight to death in a while, if you lose it, it will be your own. I took it and looked, the material of the pen barrel was rough, but the carving was exquisite, and the nib was neat and smooth, quite his style: low-key, copycat look, but it worked.

During the journey, I didn't have time to look too much, so I hastily stuffed it into my backpack and continued walking.

Needless to say, when the sun was in the west, we finally came to Houting Yazi.

This is the highest peak in the entire Qingshan realm, I don't know how many meters above sea level, I feel like I have entered the clouds, and the white mist is shrouded. Old Kim led us through the side ditch, and the downhill was the skateboard, from where someone had fallen directly into the stream last time. I bypassed the cliff of the back pavilion again, and went out of the mouth of the gorge with dense plants, and finally saw the canopy of the banyan tree more than 20 meters high, with green leaves like camphor.

Walking into this slope, although it is a sunny day outside, there is a mist here, and there is an eerie cold air everywhere.

There is also the sun shining, but it is not warm like scratching the boots.

Finally, we gathered under the giant tree we had come to, rested for a while, and under Wu Gang's order, the warriors began to search the surroundings to eliminate potential dangers. Yang Cao came over and called me and asked us to go to a meeting at the mouth of the cave not far away. I walked through the green grass with the miscellaneous trail, passed the shade of the trees, and came into the crowd. The five people from the Religious Affairs Bureau are all there, Wu Gang, Ma Haibo and Lao Ye of the Provincial Military Region, just these people.

When Boss Hong saw me coming, he said to me: "Lu Zuo, last time you led people out of the cave, we discussed it, and this time I still want you to go in and lead the way." ”

I didn't like it when I heard it, when I made a plan before, I said that I had a phobia of cave darkness, and I didn't go into the cave, and they agreed at the time, but now they have temporarily changed the plan, is this not playing "forcing the palace"? Hu Wenfei explained to me apologetically, saying that there was no field investigation at that time, and now I have found that this place is really too dangerous, the terrain of this slope valley is a typical formation of gathering yin ghosts, and it is also natural, there must be a person who is familiar with the road conditions, otherwise we may repeat the mistake of the last time this time.

Jia Wei also helped beside him, saying that we will send an email to the Southern Bureau to praise you, and the people will remember you.

It sounds like a eulogy.

I was originally an indifferent attitude, but when I heard this, I was a little unhappy, how harsh this sounded: Lao Tzu is a temporary worker who lives in a mess, and he doesn't expect to work in the system after becoming a regular. But Wu Gang and Ma Haibo also persuaded me, saying that they should also go into the cave and dissolve the curse, although you don't care, but it is good to remove the traces?

I reluctantly agreed, and asked Miscellaneous Hairy Trail, and he nodded, saying that he wanted to go in and see the mural art of the dwarf mule.

The entrance to the cave had been sealed with bricks, and the dark green vines hung low, and at the bottom there was a hole that had been cut out, just the size of a dwarf mule. Because it was going into the hole, several soldiers were using tools to get it open.

Miscellaneous trail stared at the large puddle to the right of the cave entrance, the water inside was green and oily, and the algae were floating. He turned his head, smiled, and said Little poison, don't you think there's anything weird in this? I crouched down and smelled a fishy stench, but there was no stale stale of stagnant water. Just as he was about to reply, he suddenly heard a scream coming from below, followed by a chaotic burst of gunfire.

I looked up and saw all the people around me running down the slope with a bang.
