Xiaoyu didn't know what I was going through, so I went back to bed and continued to sleep, looking at the little golden sand stained on my body, and I tried to recall what happened before I met the "Red Lady".

Obviously I saw the red lady when I went out to "release water", why did I wake up from my dream again in an instant? If it's really a dream, where does the golden sand come from on me? All kinds of situations are contradictory, but they are very real in my body and mind.

Gathering the courage to leave the tent again, the white mist on the river disappeared without a trace, and in the darkness only the moon in the sky reflected the stars on the water.

Of course, I understood that my judgment was wrong, there was really something strange in this area, so I called Uncle Liao to report the situation, and Uncle Liao was not surprised and said: "Fortunately, you saw her, otherwise it would be another life tonight." ”

"Uncle, what should I do?"

"You make a fire around the tent and wait for me to come." I did as I was told, and about an hour later, Uncle Liao and Rocky came to the gold rush beach.

"Did you tell Xiaoyu about the situation?" I said.

Uncle Liao shook his head and said, "Needless to say, he didn't believe it in the first place, and talking too much would only disgust him." ”

"Uncle, I'm too confident, and I'm blindly confident." I said in shame.

"Skewers, self-confidence is not a bad thing, young people listen to others in everything, but as you said, don't be blindly confident, this is very dangerous." Uncle Liao said.

"Brother Liao, I don't understand how you can tell that the woman was scared to death by the red lady? Her expression when she died was very serene, not like she had seen a ghost? Lodge said.

"I am sure of the cause of her death for two reasons, one is that she was stuffed with sand between her fingernails. The woman's body had already been cleaned when we went, so the sand between the nails must have been too tightly stuffed to be removed. ”

"This is naturally caused by her uncontrollable tightening of her hands in a state of convulsions, squeezing the mud and sand into her fingertips."

"There is also look at her scalp, the soul of the person who died is violently stimulated in an instant, and the essence and blood will be rapidly lost, which is manifested in the condition of the person's body is hair withering, you don't notice that she only has fluffy wilting at the root of the hair, but the middle and ends of the hair are not wilted, this is the typical symptom of being frightened to death, and then the problem of expression, don't always think that people are scared to death by ghosts, the most common means of ghosts to harm people is to hook the soul, ordinary people can't recognize the difference between ghosts and living people, Only when the soul leaves the body can the true face of the ghost be seen clearly, so Ama and naturally will not have a frightened expression. ”

After Uncle Liao's "detailed explanation", we finally had a preliminary understanding of ghosts, which is very different from the ghost stories I listened to when I was a child and the horror movies I watched when I grew up.

"I still don't know if I saw it with my own eyes, or if I had a nightmare?" I scratched my scalp.

"You saw it with your own eyes, because you have a pair of dark eyes." Uncle Liao paused and continued: "In fact, everyone can see ghosts, the difference is that the vast majority of people can't tell the difference, but some people can see the true body of the ghost, the red lady was disemboweled and died, and after death, she became a ghost floating here, what you see is the real body of the ghost, not only you can see the rat demon, and the reason why you lose consciousness is also because the soul is unstable, because the ghost will inevitably hook your soul when it sees a living person, and when it comes to this, you have to thank the rat demon, if it weren't for it to carry you back, Maybe your soul will follow the red lady. "When Uncle Liao said something, I was drenched in cold sweat.

Uncle Liao patted me on the shoulder and said: "But you have one more layer of protection than ordinary people, that shaver made of gloomy wood is a kind of magic weapon, the magic weapon can stabilize people's souls in the body cavity, and it is not easy for the red lady to hook your soul." ”

"Brother Liao, you can give me one too."

"If you want it, you have to steal it." Uncle Liao said half-jokingly.

"Uncle, have you thought about how we should deal with this ghost?"

"Ghosts, demons, and corpses are different, and to deal with a ghost like the Red Lady, we must first find her burial place, otherwise we will fight with illusions."

"Where are we going to find such a large area?" I smacked my tongue.

Uncle Liao said confidently: "I'm sure I can find where her remains are, because ......" As soon as he said this, he saw two flashlights in the distance flickering faintly, and a rough voice came faintly, but it was too far away to hear it very clearly.

Uncle Liao said: "No one will believe these people when they say that the local hauntings are there, but they will think that our intentions are impure and deliberately deceive, and this matter is done in secret, don't make a big fuss." "Then take us quietly into the woods at the foot of the mountain.

As the two of them got closer, their voices became clearer, and one said, "I think we're going to suffer a big loss this time." ”

"Boss, you have to hold on, if it weren't for your brother's way, your manpower, we could grab a piece of land in the water beach? You can't just give up on good things that others can't dream of. "Listen to the voice, this person is Qian Li.

"Do you know how many men I have deployed to defend this beachhead? There are twenty-seven people in total, and one person has fifty or twenty-seven a day, which is more than 1,000 yuan, and they also have to eat and smoke, if I let them out and steal money, how much can I earn? One in and one out, this account can be calculated by a fool. ”

Two people appeared in my field of vision, Qian Li on the left, and one on the right, about forty years old, with dark skin and curly hair, a native of Western Xinjiang, but he couldn't make out the slightest flaw in his spoken Chinese.

Rocky whispered, "It's him?" ”

"Do you know this man?" I said.

"Well, this person's name is Le Guda, his brother is awesome, known as the Northwest Thief King, and I have fought with his men twice."

"The result?"

"It's a barely tie, but the people I fought against are not the top masters in this gang, and if Le Guda's brother makes a move, I can't win." Lodge Road.

"They've learned stealing too? It's rare for someone who learns stealing to be a pickpocket. Uncle Liao said.

"Yes, but the Legu brothers behave in a way that is difficult for ordinary people to fathom."

The two of them stopped some distance from the tent area, Qian Li took out two cigarettes and lit them, and then gave them to Legu and said, "Otherwise, the gold in their hands will belong to you first, and then it will be calculated when the output is large." ”

"Your idea is really stupider than the donkey on the millstone, the Bilak family is very powerful in the Tatar tribe, our Legu family is far from being compared with the Wadangtai tribe in the local area, he doesn't pit you are already considered Allah to bless, you still want to occupy his share?"

Qian Li frowned and thought for a long time: "Boss, why don't you just try that trick, maybe it will have a miraculous effect?" ”

Le Guda hesitated for a moment and said, "But what if it doesn't work?" ”

"Hey, isn't it just a dead person? Human life in this kind of place is not valuable, an old woman just died a few days ago, and she died, and she thought it was killed by a female ghost, a group of ignorant primitive people. Qian Li didn't care about saying this dehumanizing sentence.

Le Gu's big eyes flashed fiercely: "If you really sacrifice a living person, you will do it?" ”

"It's no problem for me to do it, but this matter has to be handled by the two of us in partnership, and since it is a community of interests, it is natural that the risks must be shared equally." Qian Li flicked the cigarette far away and said goodbye.

"I don't get involved in the murder and sacrifice, you can do it if you want to, we are thieves, not murderers." Legu simply rejected his proposal.

After thinking for a while, Qian Li said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

"Tell Bilek?"

"You're crazy, this kid is very protective of their people, you must not let him know." Then the two entered the tent.

Stumbling upon this vicious plan made me understand what terrible consequences human greed can cause, and in the eyes of these people, the profit of human life is negligible.

Rocky said: "Skewers, you go over to spy on the information and see what these two people are doing here in the middle of the night." ”

"I'll go to my brother, you're letting me send the sheep to the tiger's mouth."

"Don't worry too much, this mouse is fiercer than a tiger, what are you afraid of with it, besides, we are by your side, and we will definitely ensure your safety." Lodge Road.

I thought about it, so I patted the mouse on the head and said, "It's no problem to deal with these two people, right?" The rat grabbed the void with his hand and gouged it, baring his teeth to reveal a fierce expression.

So he returned to the tent with the mouse, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, he saw Qian Li, who was sitting in the southeast corner of the tent, with a pair of ghost hands with black nails and gray white on his eyes.
