Zhou Dede, the owner of the cornfield, was vigilant, the tomb kiln was not excavated to the end, the coffin was not opened, and the tomb robbers would definitely not give up. As soon as the sun set, he took a hard wooden stick and quietly squatted in a cornfield not far from the tomb, intent on catching the tomb robbers and extorting a sum of money or handing it to the government.

The night was not too dark compared to the night, although it was not too dark, and as the night deepened, the surroundings gradually quieted down, and the simple chirping of crickets and the sound of corn stalks growing and jointing rose and fell intermittently.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Mengyuan put on the black clothes that Qin'er had washed for him, took a shovel, and came lightly against the corn orange next to the road.

If you have a ghost in your heart, you should be vigilant. Zhou Mengyuan did not go to the scene immediately, squatted in the ground on the other side of the path, carefully observing and listening to whether there was someone secretly guarding here, and sure enough, he heard a few gentle coughs with his hands covering his mouth, guessing that Zhou Dede was ambushing and wanted to arrest and blackmail.

After waiting for about half an hour, he didn't see him, and he couldn't tell when he would leave, so Zhou Mengyuan decided to go home and find another opportunity, vigilantly observing the movements around, and not bumping into night tourists because of recklessness. Just as he was thinking, he saw a figure, the same route as when he came, also coming along the corn oranges in the field, and quickly retracted and hid himself.

Zhou Dede was tired and couldn't stand the mosquito bites, so he kept reminding himself in his heart that the thief would tell the hexagram, that is, to do it when people dozed off or inadvertently, but if he continued to squat like this, he would definitely fall asleep, so he came up with a plan to kill the gun, took a stick, and swaggered and sang a folk song from the ground.

"The lad is getting older,

Dragged her aunt into the cornfield,

Pulled out a strange thing from his waist.

Like a mallet, without a handle,

Like a mouse, without a tail,

Pierced into her mother's one

Whoops······"

The person who was discovered by Zhou Mengyuan just now immediately hid when he heard the singing.

Zhou Dede sang over and over again until his voice stopped abruptly.

After Zhou Dede walked out of the field and turned a corner, Zhou Mengyuan squatted on the ground and watched his back until he disappeared. However, what puzzled Zhou Mengyuan was that the one who came over just now never saw a shadow.

Could it be that Zhou Dede pretended to leave to deceive the tomb robbers into believing it, and there were others secretly waiting, who wanted to capture him?

Just as he was analyzing, a dark shadow appeared.

Zhou Mengyuan had to hide in the ground again, squatting there quietly and continuing to observe.

The shadow came, and crouched down on the ground, and it was a long time before he slipped into the ground. When I went in, my feet were very light, for fear of stepping on a corn orange and making a sound.

Could it be that someone else wants to take advantage of the fisherman's profits? The situation suddenly became complicated.

After the shadow entered, it never came out again, nor did it make any noise.

This night of scheming, if you insist on acting, you will get into trouble. Zhou Mengyuan decided to go home and act on a certain day.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the ground, another figure appeared on the way here.

Tonight, could it be that people and ghosts are mixed together, working together to guard this tomb?

Although the footsteps could not be heard, the shadow came quickly, and in an instant it was on the ground.

Zhou Mengyuan had to hide again.

The situation is more complicated. Suddenly, a bass cry came from the other side of the tomb.

"Brother Mengyuan. Brother Mengyuan. Are you there? I'm Qin'er. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Mengyuan's whole body brushed the ground and became extremely nervous. didn't have time to react, and the shadow just now "swished" and rushed in.

Oops! Qin'er must have come to help me or report the news, and now, I happened to be caught by the cunning Zhou Dede.

Zhou Mengyuan also quickly followed. Unless at a critical moment, I don't want to expose myself, and I mainly observe the development of the situation for the time being.

"Help!"

Suddenly, I heard Qin'er's short shout.

Judging by the sound, it was clear that the little mouth with thick lips had been blocked with something. Immediately afterwards, it was Zhou Dede's voice.

"Don't shout! I'll kill you if you shout! You have already told me that this was done by Zhou Mengyuan. If I am obedient, I can not pursue it, and I will not lose my property, otherwise, I will let the government take his life!"

Immediately afterward, a series of "crackling" corns were heard being trampled on and overpowered.

Zhou Mengyuan suddenly understood, this brute dared to be so bold. With a shovel in hand, rush in.

Zhou Dede saw that someone was coming again, so he hurriedly let go of Qin'er and picked up the stick, "Who are you?" ”

"Zhou Dede, you are inferior to a beast, you dare to be violent to a yellow flower girl!"

As soon as she heard that it was Brother Mengyuan coming, Qin'er immediately stood up and came behind Zhou Mengyuan while sorting out her clothes.

"Zhou Mengyuan, you are so bold that you dare to dig up the ancient tomb, I will report to the government tomorrow, accuse you of the crime of stealing the ancient tomb, and cut your Zhou family to the roots. ”

Qin'er's heart suddenly became extremely powerful, and she was completely with her usually, completely forgetting her fear and shame, "You bandit, if you dare to report to the official, I will burn down your house!"

Zhou Dede's words stimulated Zhou Mengyuan's mind to go blank immediately, and he became a mad demon.

I can't help but say. Don't think about it. Swing your shovel and stab at it.

Too late to dodge and block.

"Whew-"

"Ahh

With a scream, Zhou Dede's head fell to the ground, and a tiger beast just now turned into a horizontal meat in an instant.

Zhou Mengyuan and Qin'er hugged each other.

"Don't be afraid, Qin'er, everything is with me. ”

"I'm not afraid. She's damned!"

The two simply comforted each other and emboldened each other.

Zhou Mengyuan wanted to send Qin'er home, but Qin'er insisted on refusing, saying, "For the sake of my brother, Qin'er is not afraid of anything." Let's do it, let's dig together. ”

Zhou Mengyuan considered the inconvenience of traveling at night and said, "It's okay if you don't go back." Stand far away, I'll be alone. ”

In the moonlight, in the harmony of crickets singing and corn stalk jointing, the shadow of struggling to dig the soil, like a chicken pecking rice, did not stop for a moment.

The soil that was thrown from the tomb in succession was like a black fountain, moving from time to time and changing direction.

The mound grew larger and larger, and the sound of the shovel head hitting the coffin lid was heard from time to time, and the soil that should have been taken was finally dug up.

In the basement of the kiln on both sides of the coffin, only a few regular funerary objects were found.

Zhou Mengyuan put the wine utensils into the jar and handed it to Qin'er, "Be careful, don't fall down." ”

Lifting the lid of the coffin and pushing it aside, a faint strange smell suddenly emanated from the tomb. It seems that the age of this tomb is not very recent.

With the faint moonlight, Zhou Mengyuan took off the rotten quilt and clothes on the corpse.

The dried white bones were brought up as the tattered clothes were pulled away, and the bottom of the coffin was smashed.

Zhou Mengyuan searched with wide eyes, and groped everywhere with his hands.

Skull.

Bone.

Leg bones.

······

After working for a long time, Zhou Mengyuan only found a few copper coins and a little silver, and when he put them in, he really prepared a black bag hanging on his waist.

He handed over the shovel, covered the coffin, and went up.

dragged Zhou Dede's body over, threw it into the pit, buried it a few times, took Qin'er's hand, and went home together.

The two first came to the intersection of the Qixing River where Zhou Mengyuan lived, hid the shovel, Zhou Mengyuan took out the silver and copper coins, and handed them to Qin'er.

"You take this, and the rest is mine. Now I'm sending you home. ”

Qin'er excused herself, shook her head and said, "I don't want anything, and I won't go home." When I came out, I said to my father, you are not here tonight, grandma is not in good health, I will accompany you. ”

What a careful and understanding Qin'er!

Zhou Mengyuan pulled Qin'er to him and hugged him tightly.

Qin'er's hot face was close to Zhou Mengyuan's increasingly solid chest, and she obviously heard the heartbeat that accelerated because of excitement and excitement, and silently allowed in her heart, as long as Brother Mengyuan treated it sincerely, Qin'er was willing to give everything selflessly. Maybe in the future. Even now.

Zhou Mengyuan combed his reason and conscience again and again, tried his best to use the rope of morality and purity and love to restrain the strong impulses and spasmodic itchy hands in his heart, and gently pushed Qin'er away, "Then don't go back." We did something wrong and needed to deal with it overnight. ”

Zhou Mengyuan took out a shovel and went downhill with Qin'er to the outside of the cave.

Grandma slept very lightly, and the footsteps of the two people were very light, but they were still heard.

"It's Yuan'er back, right? ”

"Ahh It's me. Grandma, wake you up. ”

"If you don't come back, grandma won't be able to sleep at all. Wash and go to bed. ”

"You go to sleep first. I still have some things to do. ”

Qin'er washed Zhou Mengyuan's clothes and hung them on the small branches next to the small vegetable garden.

Zhou Mengyuan wiped the shovel clean and hid it in another cave.

Qin'er went in and brought Zhou Mengyuan a clean dress to put on.

The two of them sat on the stone under the tree where the grandmother used to sit, and leaned on each other, intending to spend the night like this.

"Qin'er, I don't understand, usually you are afraid of even a mouse, how can you be bold and desperate?"

Qin'er thought for a moment, and muttered, "I don't know either." You give it an analysis. ”

Actually, Qin'er knows. Love is selfless dedication, even life!

Zhou Mengyuan knows in his heart that the best way to show love is loyalty and selflessness, which shines when it is needed most. It's just that I feel that this introverted and delicate woman is bold and crazy.

The road is boldly taken.

People are forced out by adversity.

Regarding the aftermath of murder and tomb robbing, neither of them had any aftermath.

Perhaps it is the power of love that dilutes the fear.

Maybe it's each other's bravery that strengthens each other.

They sweetly reminisced about their childhood, and said nothing about tonight's events.

The rooster has crowed three times.

The wind of dawn was a little stronger, and it added a little coolness.

Qin'er fell asleep with her head resting on Zhou Mengyuan's shoulder.

The soft snoring speaks of the sleepiness and exhaustion of the devotees of love.

Zhou Mengyuan protected Qin'er in accordance with the rules, and continued to sweetly recall the beautiful, happy and carefree experience of getting along with Qin'er when he was a child.

Because he understands that Qin'er is Qin'er, his hair and friend, not Ganoderma lucidum.

From time to time, the scene of killing Zhou Dede with a shovel flashed in front of him·····

I haven't experienced it.

But it seems to have done it before.

Self-liberation said: Zhou Dede tried in vain to ravage the woman of the good family, and he died innocently.

Who dares to stop me, the god shovel given by the master is waiting!
