Chapter 8: The town river is the town coffin

"No, you don't." Unexpectedly, Zhang Dingxiang pushed the wooden box towards me: "This thing snake corpse can't be opened, and others don't know that it's hiding here." ”

"It's going to be dawn soon, so let's not waste time."

Zhang Dingxiang said this with certainty, and I looked up and saw that it was indeed almost dawn.

Finally nodded: "Okay, then let's hurry back to Shanghe Village now." ”

Zhang Dingxiang and I didn't delay along the way, and the strange thing is that she is more familiar with the road than me. But then I thought about it, her aunt often came to our village before her death, so she occasionally followed the road for a long time, and there seemed to be no problem.

So, I didn't delve into the matter, but hurried to the entrance of the village and came to the place agreed with my cousin, but strangely my cousin did not show up.

On the contrary, a few uncles of the family, with strong men from the village, were waiting for us with sticks.

"What is this for?" I looked at Second Uncle Qin, who was the leader, in surprise, and asked, "Where is my cousin?" ”

Didn't I make an appointment with him to bring the Zhenlong Stone, and he released my father and mother?

Why don't even people come out now?

"Qin Tangtang, what have you done yourself, don't you have any points in your heart?" Second Uncle Qin looked at it and said angrily.

I looked dazed, "Second uncle, I don't understand what you are talking about." ”

Then, I looked up at Zhang Dingxiang again, and she also looked uncertain: "Second Uncle of the Qin family, we have brought Zhenlongshi, should you release Qin Tangtang's father and mother as agreed." ”

"Who do you think would dare to ask for the Dragon Stone now? Qin Ming is already dead, and we don't want to die. Unexpectedly, Second Uncle Qin actually said so.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Dingxiang didn't react yet.

I was shocked, because Qin Ming was none other than my cousin.

But how is this possible.

"My cousin, he was fine last night, how could he die, don't want to pay the bill." I instinctively didn't believe it, thinking they just didn't want to let my dad go.

At the same time, he stuffed the wooden box that was originally hidden on his body into the cuffs: "If you don't let my father and mother go, don't want me to hand over the Zhenlong Stone." ”

The second uncle sneered and said, "Qin Tangtang, Qin Ming is not only dead, but even a few people who were beside him last night died. They were burned alive by the fire. But last night there was no sign of fire in his house, or even in the surrounding area. By the time we saw them, their bodies were burned beyond recognition, like piles of charred charcoal. ”

"Do you think this is something that can be done by man?!"

"It's him angry, it's him warning us Shanghe Village!"

Burned?

Somehow, I immediately thought of the picture when Bai Hua set fire to kill those snakes when we left Liuxian Temple yesterday. At that time, the first thing I saw was that it smelled snakey.

But in the end, when the fire was raging, I smelled the smell of rotting corpses, as if it was not a snake burning at all, but a person.

And the second uncle said that my cousin was burned alive.

What the hell is going on?

"And who is he?" I asked, not noticing that Zhang Dingxiang on the side was looking very bad at the moment.

The second uncle smiled coldly: "Qin Tangtang, you'll know who he is when you come to Zhenhe." ”

Saying that, the second uncle immediately beckoned, and several strong men came over with ropes and sticks that had been prepared long ago.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Dingxiang took action and stopped them: "Is it possible that the blue sky and the white day are not enough, do you still want to use lynching indiscriminately?" ”

Facing Zhang Dingxiang, the second uncle was not afraid.

But he didn't use it, he just smiled and said: "Shaman Zhang, I advise you to take care of yourself and don't care about the idle affairs of our village." Otherwise......"

"Otherwise, what are you going to do?" Zhang Dingxiang was not afraid.

"I heard that Shaman Zhang has a younger brother in his family, if I told the village chief Wang next door about today's events. Shaman Zhang thinks, what will Village Chief Wang do? The second uncle said with a smile.

Zhang Dingxiang became very excited in an instant: "Don't hit my brother's idea, he has nothing to do with this matter." ”

"Shaman Zhang, in the final analysis, this is my Shanghe Village's business, and it has nothing to do with you." Saying that, the second uncle stretched out his hand, as if pointing out a clear path to Zhang Dingxiang.

Zhang Dingxiang looked up at me.

I immediately shook my head at her, motioning for her not to leave me alone.

After all, at this time, Bai Hua was still cultivating in the wood carving pendant, if Zhang Dingxiang abandoned me again, then I would really be alone.

"Qin Tangtang, I'm sorry, I have fulfilled my promise to help you find the Zhenlong Stone......" After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Dingxiang continued: "The rest can only rely on yourself." ”

After speaking, Zhang Lilac brushed off my hand and strode forward.

But before leaving, she suddenly opened her mouth to me and left a word. And because of the angle problem, the second uncle and they didn't see Zhang Dingxiang's move.

"Second uncle, I'll give you the Zhenlong Stone now, can you let my father and mother go? Qin Ming's death really has nothing to do with me. I tried to explain.

After all, if I have the ability to kill Qin Ming, why bother talking to them here.

"Qin Tangtang, I'm not Qin Ming, I'm not as greedy as him." After speaking, Second Uncle Qin ignored me completely, but directly asked people to tie me to death, in order to prevent me from struggling, he didn't forget to say the last sentence: "As long as you go to Zhenhe, I will definitely let your father and mother go." ”

"I don't believe you." Although my hands and feet were tied to death, I still tried to resist: "Qin Ming said that he wanted to suppress the Dragon Stone before, but now I brought it, but you regret it again." What should I do if I obediently go to Zhenhe, but you go back on your word? ”

Second Uncle Qin didn't pay attention to my question, and didn't care how I struggled, just let those strong men directly carry me away and carry me to the winding river in the village.

My father and mother are in their hands, and I don't dare to act rashly.

In addition, I know about this small river in the village, since the dam burst more than ten years ago. The water of the river has become much shallower, and I am very good at water.

So I'm not afraid of the so-called Zhenhe.

Until......

After they carried me to the river, something unexpected happened. Because what awaits me is not to be thrown into the river.

Rather, a huge grave pit.

In the center of the pit was a black and gold coffin.

"What are you going to do? Didn't you let me town? What do you do when you dig up a coffin? I shouted in shock.

The second uncle looked at me like this, instead of feeling guilty, he said with fanaticism on his face: "Qin Tangtang, what do you think Zhenhe is?" Just throw you into this shallow river and it's over, and the town river of our Shanghe Village is the town coffin. ”

"Hahaha, didn't you find the Zhenlong Stone? It just so happens that you bring it into this coffin, and it will work even better. ”

"He'll be happier."
