Chapter 3 Eagle's Beak Cliff

My master has a strange smell, and although he has been much more hygienic recently, the smell of smoke is still very strong, and sometimes he coughs endlessly, so I absolutely refuse to share a bed with him, and sleep alone at night.

Not long after I lay down, I heard the sound of a child coming from the partition wall, and a young couple began to fight hand-to-hand. At first, the woman suppressed her voice, just hummed a few times, but she couldn't withstand the man's bravery, and the voice gradually became louder, which made me panic. It's a pity that my hearing is too sensitive, and I can still hear all kinds of sounds clearly through a thick earthen wall, and the effect is much more real than the dubbed H movie.

I cursed and plugged my ears, and the various voices were finally not so clear, but I couldn't help but think of Fei Fei in my mind...... Looks like it's time for me to get a girlfriend too.

I finally waited until the battle next door was over, I thought I could sleep well in the second half of the night, but it didn't take long for the war to rekindle, and the men kept challenging the women, but the women didn't want to fight, and the voices of the voices increased.

Woman: "Can you let me sleep for a while, I do it night and day, I'm tired if you're not tired." ”

Man: "****, don't you get tired of farting when you lie down below?" I go out to earn money, tired and tired, you enjoy yourself at home, shouldn't you play? ”

"I have to wash clothes, cook, feed pigs and chickens at home, and I am busy with everything else, how can I be happy?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The little couple quarreled, and after arguing for a while, the man didn't care whether the woman agreed or not, and forcibly pressed her hard, and the woman cried: "Woo...... When you come back from the gold mine, you either drink or do this, even if you don't treat me as a human being, you have to pay attention to your own body. ”

The man roared in a low voice: "Don't mention the gold mines!" ”

The woman didn't dare to say anything, but she was not in the mood to accept him, so she let the man gallop without a sound. When I heard that the man was a miner, I hurriedly concentrated on listening, lest I miss a word.

After ten minutes, the man stopped exercising, fell on the bed and gasped loudly, gasping for a while and taking the initiative to speak: "I'm under a lot of pressure and in a bad mood." ”

"Well, I know. It's so dangerous, don't do it in the future"

The man was silent for a while and said, "It's not dangerous, that person wasn't hanged by a machine......"

"Ah...... So, how did that die? ”

"It's ...... I can't say, I really can't say, if someone finds out, I will go to jail, and Boss Chen will not let our family go. ”

The woman said, "If you tell me now, I will never tell anyone." ”

The man hesitated for a while: "Forget it, I scared you when I said it, so don't ask, sleep." ”

The woman was a little angry: "If your wife can't believe it, who else can you trust?" ”

The man was also a little angry: "Can you women's broken B be able to shut up?" This is a matter of human life, and if it spreads, the whole family will die! Don't be verbose, go to bed right away, if you don't sleep, I'll play you again, play you to death! ”

I couldn't tell you that if the person next door had killed or injured someone, it would have been impossible to play push-ups at home now; If it weren't for the fact that he had killed someone or injured someone by mistake, there would have been no risk of going to jail, what did he mean by that? However, one thing can be confirmed, the second deceased was not hanged mechanically, so how did he die? The cause of death must have been so bizarre that Chen Youyuan did not dare to spread the word under strict control, and the miners also left a terrible shadow in their hearts, so the guy next door could only keep drinking and doing push-ups to eliminate the pressure.

I barely slept well all night, and I had all sorts of horrific corpses in my mind, and I didn't have an appetite for breakfast the next day. I told Master what I heard last night, and Master just nodded, and didn't go to the miner next door, he wouldn't even tell his wife, let alone tell us, there was no need to waste time.

The village chief asked two men to take us on motorbikes into the mountains, which were built for gold mining, and it was extremely difficult to walk around the ravine. The mountain is high and steep, and it is about to fall head-on, and the mountain is full of greenery, and it is basically a primeval forest.

There is often a small river on the side of the road, not a small river to be exact, but a mountain stream, and the water that should be crystal clear is a little muddy, and there are no fish or shrimp in sight. There is a lot of silt on the shore, and there are layers of mud marks on the stones that protrude from the water, and there is no doubt that the water here will be more turbid when the gold mine is working.

In order to repair the road, a lot of trees were cut down, and in some places half of the hillside was blown down...... I'm not an environmental messenger, I don't have great sentiments, but I still feel a little heavy to see nature being so destroyed and so discordant.

After more than half an hour, the motorcyclist suddenly stopped, saying that it would be quick to walk along the main road, and then they hurriedly rolled back.

Master and I stood in a relatively open place and looked ahead, there was a mountain in front of us that was like an eagle's beak, the cliff was hundreds of meters high, and the bottom was submerged in the ancient woods, which was the eagle's beak cliff. Not far from the Eagle's Beak Cliff is a towering cliff where the mining site is located in a deep stream between the two mountains.

Further on, you can see a higher peak, the top of which is obscured by clouds, and that is the ghostly Genting Mountain!

"Master, are there a lot of ghosts in the ghost cottage?"

"Hmm." The master replied absentmindedly, his eyes still looking at Yunding Mountain, as if he was thinking about something.

"Could it be that the evil ghosts of the Fierce Ghost Cottage are running down to haunt you?"

"Maybe......" Master suddenly came to his senses and turned his head to look at me, "Probably not, the ghost cottage is not in this direction, it's a bit far, and the ghosts there only go in and can't leave." ”

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€

"Ahem, ahem, I'll tell you about the ghost cottage in the future, and it's useless to tell you now. Let's go, let's go to the gold mine first. ”

I hated Master for being so secretive the most, and I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of place is that?" ”

The master sank his face: "It is a very evil place, and if you get close, there is only harm and no good." For example, Hell, you know it exists, but you don't need to go into the 'Seven Days of Hell', right? Since you never have to go in, ask so much for what? ”

Master rarely spoke to me so harshly, and I didn't dare to ask any more, but my curiosity was even greater, what was there that made people so afraid?

I once heard from the elders of the village that there used to be a very powerful bandit entrenched there, and they were still there for many years after liberation, until they all died suddenly more than ten years ago, and then they began to haunt them. It's inaccessible and doesn't cause any harm, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it's just a haunted place, weishenme My master said it was so serious?

Suspicious, I walked with Master and gradually entered the deep stream below the Eagle's Beak Cliff, where strange rocks and huge trees were in the shade, and it looked damp and gloomy. The sky is not beautiful, and at this time it is drizzling, and there is a slight fog drifting, which is even more gloomy.

Further afield, you can see that many giant trees have been brought down, and there are some simple wooden houses scattered on the gentler slopes, and the deep stream is dug up in a mess, and the vegetation has been destroyed in a large area, but there is no relevant machinery in sight. Master and I walked to a wooden hut and saw that it was empty, with some fast food noodle bags, cigarette butts, broken shoes, etc., and a bed made of local materials supplemented with hay, and a piece of tattered clothes hanging diagonally, which did not look like someone lived.

Maybe it was after the haunting, and the workers moved everything away. Master and I continued to walk forward, and we looked at several wooden houses in a row, and the situation was similar, but where did the mining machinery go? Chen Youyuan also said that he would start work again in three days at most!

Master and I continued to walk, there was no wooden house in front of us, but there was still a road, and the messy marks under the deep stream were also moving forward, probably the nearest place of work was ahead.

It's just a smaller, very irregular gold mine, dug along the banks of a deep ravine, littered with mounds, ponds, and fallen trees. Master made a very vivid biha: This is like a hundred wild boars arching over!

I asked: "Aren't they weishenme neatly dug into it in one place?" The gold mines I see on TV are all neat. ”

The master looked around and said, "I don't think this is a real gold mine, there is no gold in the rocks, only the sand and gravel have the sand and gravel washed down from the upstream, so they dig all the sediment and gravel from the river, and the gold content of the upstream should be higher." ”

I nodded, and Master said, "Gold is very heavy, and coarse golden sands and golden beans are not easily washed away by water, so you can only find flake golden sands as thin as cicada wings and as thin as sesame seeds downstream. ”

We walked forward as we spoke, and after walking for more than ten minutes, a mechanical figure appeared in the valley in front of us, and the two banks were not seriously damaged, and a dozen wooden houses were built in a relatively concentrated place on the gentle shore.

These wooden houses are larger and neater than the previous ones, concentrated in the same area, and also hung with signs such as canteens, warehouses, offices, etc. Obviously, the previous wooden house was built when the mining team first entered the mountain, and it is not like it, but the wooden house in front of me was recently built in a planned way, ready to do a big job.

"Master, it looks like they started to have problems when they moved here."

"Well, what do you think is the problem?"

"I'm going to see before I speculate." Originally, I always thought that the miner who hanged himself was angry and came back to kill a second person, but now I can basically rule out this cause, and it is more likely that moving to a new location caused two deaths.

Although it was only drizzling, it was almost wet with our clothes, and Master pushed open a wooden house and went inside, and I was going to make a fire to dry our clothes. It was then that I noticed that in the clearing in the middle of the wooden house there was a pile of burning embers from a bonfire, with messy footprints next to it, broken porcelain bowls and blackened iron forks, as if there had been a bonfire party here before the miners had left.

Looking at this pile of ashes, I felt a wave of disgust and disgust for no reason, and I didn't want to get closer.
