I answered, followed the third uncle and Xiao Liang out of the brigade, at this time it was eight or nine o'clock in the night, the oblique moon was in the sky, the moonlight was bright, and before I reached the village, I could vaguely see a few figures guarding the end of the dirt road.

The third uncle and I didn't step forward again, only let Xiao Liang go to explore the situation, under the moonlight, the situation in the distance is still vaguely arguable, the three dirt roads leading directly to the woods in the whole village are guarded, and there are ditches with a big drop on the side of the road next to the woods, and there are barbed trees like peppercorns and black locusts around them, and I didn't notice anything during the day, at this time, it is impossible to bypass these three dirt roads and sneak directly into the woods!

After a while, Xiao Liang also came back with a frown, and the three of us hid in the shadows, Xiao Liang shook his head and said, "It's not easy to get it!" This place is very fierce, the village is watching closely, not only these three intersections, but also the entire Sanli Tomb, there are more than a dozen villagers guarding elsewhere! ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but mutter, even if it is an ancestral grave where a murder has occurred, this is too strict, a forest, it is really strange that more than a dozen villagers are guarding it!

But now is not the time to think about this, I finally moved my grandfather out of the mountain, the third uncle naturally will not give up, after thinking about it, he directly changed his strategy and took the two of me straight towards the east of the village!

Not far from the village is the big river, although it is not as wide as the water veins in the south, but the widest part is dozens of meters, the narrow place is more than ten meters, according to Xiaoliang, the water depth is also between five or six meters on average!

And the third uncle's strategy is to dive into the river, go directly along the river, and stay in Sanlizuka Village before touching the shore! In this way, you can indeed pass quietly, and there are not too many detours!

The forest was originally at the south end of the village, and the three of us had to go to the east end of the village, get out of the village, dive into the river, turn a figure seven along the river, and then go back to the woods!

There was no other way at the moment, but fortunately it was summer, and the three of us were all water-based, so we walked cautiously all the way, and it was half an hour before we walked out of the village to the river!

The river is quiet, there is no rapids, the third uncle took the lead in the river, I and Xiaoliang also followed, until I entered the river I found that the undercurrent in the river is surging, but the direction of the water flow is facing south, saving our strength, so it is about half an hour, the river twists and turns, and finally bypasses Sanlizun Village, the continuous woods are clear in front of you again!

But at this moment, the three of us were all startled, and hurriedly dived, and on the water not far away, there was a small wooden boat parked!

I thought someone had noticed it, but I didn't see any movement after holding it for more than ten seconds, so I poked my head out again, and I couldn't help but be even more puzzled! There was no one on the boat, only a long bamboo pole lying across the bow, still dripping slowly! What's even stranger is that the ship is not fixed!

There are generally only two possibilities in this situation, one is that the owner of the ship has forgotten, and the other is that the owner of the ship is very familiar with this water, and the third uncle and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the doubts in each other's hearts!

In the middle of the night, if you don't come to fish, who will hold a boat in this river!

"Third brother! Don't keep pulling me, I can't hold it back! ”

At this moment, Xiao Liang's voice sounded behind the two of us, he seemed to have just poked out of the water, and my third uncle couldn't help scolding: "Who pulled you!" If it's okay, just keep going! ”

"Didn't pull me! So this ... Yes! ”

Xiao Liang's exclamation sounded suddenly, but fortunately, my eyes were quick, and I put my hand into his mouth, which stopped the sound, and under the moonlight, Xiao Liang's eyes almost popped out, and he trembled and lifted something in his hand!

"I'm grass!"

I was also shocked, and scolded directly, fortunately, I have seen the world and did not panic, the third uncle's face also became solemn, and the eyes of the three of us stopped on the thing in Xiao Liang's hand and were silent for a moment!

It was white in the moonlight, it was a dead baby!

"Blessed by the heavenly officials! Without restraint! Throw it back! ”

In the countryside at that time, dead children were too common, but this time the dead child appeared too suddenly. The third uncle said, Xiao Liang then shivered and pressed the baby back into the water, he didn't float, but slowly sank!

"Let's go!"

The third uncle was quite calm and swam forward again, Xiao Liang came directly to my side and grabbed me with one hand, and muttered in his mouth: "With you, there are no taboos, no taboos!" ”

I didn't explain too much to him, I followed my third uncle, went around the wooden boat, found a flat riverbank, and finally climbed up!

The third uncle looked at the direction, turned his head and said, "Xiao Liang, if you are guarding here, if someone comes, you will make a code!" ”

"Huh? Third brother, it's far away from this back to the willow forest to the well house, and you can't hear me when I call the code! I'd better follow you! ”

After speaking, Xiao Liang swallowed his saliva with palpitations, and the third uncle didn't say anything more, so he had to take him and go to the forest!

The poplars in the forest are all old, the thick trunks and dense branches and leaves directly cover the moonlight, the forest is dark, although the three of us have flashlights, but they dare not turn on! In this way, I groped forward, and after walking for about half an hour, the poplar trees in front of me gradually decreased, and one by one the mounds and pine trees began to appear!

Finally arrived at the ancestral grave of Sanlizuka Village!

I looked up at the sky, and I could see a few stars through the gaps in the leaves, it should be eleven o'clock at night! The trip took us nearly two hours!

When I arrived at the cemetery, Xiao Liang grabbed my arm tighter, and I was a little unaccustomed to being pulled by a man, so I shook him off and let him follow closely! Xiao Liang also seemed to feel a little timid, didn't say more, and followed me step by step!

Just walked through this cemetery, and finally saw a willow forest, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after the willow forest, it was a crop field, as long as I found the well house, I found the thief hole dug by Liu Xuan, and the trip was complete!

It's just that the height of the willow tree is far less than that of the poplar, and the willows here are all old, the trunk is extremely thick, entangled back and forth, there is no direction and road at all, it is not a situation, as long as the flashlight is turned on, it can be solved, but in order not to be discovered, it can only be dark!

After turning around like this for more than ten minutes, I didn't turn out, the chirping of the owl in the forest, and the shining eyes of the rabbit or the weasel from time to time made my third uncle impatient, so the three of us diverged, each along a row of willow trees, and after leaving the willow forest, he made a few secret calls. I'm nothing, Xiao Liang was a little scared, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no way, so I have to nod my head.

The three of us slowly groped, Xiao Liang continued to lower his voice because he was afraid, and my third uncle chatted with each other, at first I could still hear the conversation between the two, and then due to the different directions of the three of us, the voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared, just like that, about ten minutes later, my vision gradually lit up in the distance, and it was coming to an end!

I was overjoyed, and I just wanted to learn a few cat meows and call my third uncle and them over, but I found that the mottled light above my head hit me, making the ground in front of me in a trance, as if there was something!

That thing in the mottled moonlight, I can't see really, but it seems to glow red, I can't help but tighten my heart, this thing is only six or seven meters away from me, but I can't see clearly in the dark, I turned my head to look around, I don't see the figure of my third uncle and him, I silently recited a hundred taboos, turned sideways, let the moonlight shine on that thing, vaguely saw what seemed to be a red paper, or a red blanket or something!

In short, it was a big red thing of about a meter, and there was something on it, and the vague outline was shadowed in the moonlight, and I had already guessed a few points, and I couldn't help but curse secretly: It's really not a good place to fuck!

With the result in my heart, I couldn't help but be a little bolder, and I took two steps forward, and finally saw that thing clearly! It was a red blanket, to be precise, it should be called a mattress, and it was a child's mattress, and there was a baby on this mattress, constantly waving his hands and feet, which looked particularly weird!

At this moment, the moonlight above his head dimmed, covering the child, and there was no wind around, how could the leaves suddenly move!

I was shocked and looked up! This look directly scared me out!

"Grass!"

Above my head, on the trunk of the thick willow tree, there were two snow-white human legs dangling! A pair of red embroidered cloth shoes, apparently a woman's legs!

I hurriedly touched it into my arms, and then I remembered that when I entered the water, I gave my third uncle the cinnabar and glutinous rice I brought, and I endured the horror in my heart, and the woman's legs on the top of my head were as terrifying as hanging ghosts, but there was no movement!

I immediately turned my head and walked quickly, not because I was afraid, but because it happened suddenly, the impact on me was too great, and it was not easy to make too much movement in the forest, so it was not too late to pick up the things and clean him up!

I walked briskly and shouted in a suppressed voice, "Uncle! Uncle! There's something to this! Something! ”

The willow tree is yin, at this moment looking at the willow branches entangled with each other, I was a little panicked, I don't know how many screams, my third uncle finally responded, hearing my tone, the third uncle also knew that something had changed, and hurriedly came to my side, Xiaoliang also followed.

"What's wrong?"

"This forest is really fierce! I'm afraid the one in the river just now was angry! ”

When the third uncle heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Don't scare yourself, the dead child has seen a lot, what is there to be afraid of!" ”

"It's not dead, it's alive, and it can still move! I've seen it all, and it looks like there's a hanged man! ”

"Moving?! Could it be a stiffness!? ”

Thinking of what my grandfather said about the corpse poison, my third uncle's tone was already solemn, and he directly pulled out the Luoyang shovel, put it together, and touched a handful of cinnabar for me, and then I led the two of them back again!

I had something in my hand, and I had confidence in my heart, but when I came to the willow tree again, I was gone, only a big red mattress lying quietly on the ground!

"Where's the thing?"

"Heavenly official! You... You can't be scared by the one in the river, how can there be a child, where is there a woman? ”

Xiao Liang's tone trembled, looked at the light in the distance, and hurriedly said, "We should go out in front, let's go quickly!" ”

To no avail, the third uncle had no choice but to put away the Luoyang shovel again, I settled down, and directly used cinnabar to turn an evil charm in my left hand, and then followed the third uncle and walked towards the woods!

It's just that the scene just now is so realistic, I watched the kid move, why was it suddenly gone!

Until I walked out of the woods, I looked back with some puzzlement, Xiao Liang let out a long sigh of relief, in front of me was the crop field of Sanlizun Village, and as far as the eye could see, several dilapidated earthen houses stood in the dark!

The three of us looked at it for a moment to make sure that there were no outsiders, and then we strode towards the nearest well house, which is the general name for this kind of building in the countryside!

At that time, farmers still need to rely on their own irrigation to cultivate the land, even if it is next to a river, there is no guarantee that the wind and rain will be smooth, and there are not many wells in the field, so there are these well houses, usually a family occupies the well first, and before he finishes watering, the next family has to occupy it early, and even at night must be guarded in the field, in case others cut in line, this well house is used for the night!
