"Deal! Let's go, I'll take you to my third master! ”

After I finished speaking, I turned around and left, the fourth, the watermelon girl and the yellow cripple hurriedly followed, and after going out, the yellow cripple let us get into his van, and pulled us to the village with one foot of the accelerator.

Our village is a famous 'evil village' nearby, something is evil, the terrain is also oblique, the terrain is high at the foot of the north slope in the south, the old dragon ditch is a depression in the north, there is also a unloading river between the village and the north slope, from the mountain away from a distance, the landform is like a dog is leaning over and pulling his hips to raise his legs to pee, and the name of the village of 'dog lifting legs' comes from this.

After entering the village, I asked Huang Cripple to park the car under the southernmost earthen platform, and said to everyone: "My third master's house is on this earthen platform, the slope is too steep, the car can't drive up, we have to walk." ”

Everyone had no choice but to get out of the car and hike up the slope with me.

The slope height is only about 20 meters, for me and the steamed bun Lao Si, who like to climb over the wall and climb the village, it's nothing, the yellow cripple is also extraordinary, don't look at the usual lame, climb up the slope is like walking on the ground, and even rushed to the front of everyone several times.

But only the watermelon girl is a little crotch-pulling, one is wearing a skirt and not taking a step, the other is that the center of gravity in front of her body is unstable and difficult to maintain balance, walking slowly, her feet are shaking, and her body is shaking three times, so anxious that the fourth child looks back at her several times, thinking that she is delaying, but the yellow lame man and I have a different taste, and I can't wait to walk the steep slope of 20 meters for a day.

Later, I finally climbed to the slope, on the left is a mass grave hill, less than 100 meters to the right of the grave, there are three adobe houses surrounded by ash walls, which is the home of my third master, Zhang Laohao.

The three masters have been good to me since I was a child, and often ask me to eat at home, I am naturally no stranger, and I walked up and knocked on the door.

The three masters slept late, and when they heard the door ringing, they immediately ran out to see, but tonight I don't know what's wrong, I knocked on the door more than ten times, and there was no movement inside.

I felt strange in my heart, so I glanced at the fourth child, the fourth child understood, supported the wall with both hands and kicked it, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into the yard, so angry that her father Huang Cripple scolded the street: "You are a fucking girl, cover your crotch!" ”

The fourth child didn't care so much, after pulling the latch from the inside, he took us to the middle hall of the main house with the black light, and I shouted twice as I walked, 'Three Masters', strange, there was still no movement inside.

I was wondering, the fourth brother who walked in the front had already squeaked open the door of the hidden middle hall, but before he could take a step inside, he heard the fourth child suddenly snort, and then sat on the ground with a limp body.

"Fourth, what's wrong?"

The fourth child's sudden action startled everyone, and when she ran forward to help her, she looked into the dark middle hall by the moonlight outside the door, and everyone was shocked, a white-faced old lady was hanging from the beam of the room with a hemp rope around her neck, sticking out her tongue and puffing out her eyes, and her stiff body shook gently with the wind, it was my third mother.

"Three mothers!"

My scalp was numb, but I couldn't care about being scared, so I rushed in and put the person out of the noose first, trying to rescue him, but it was obviously too late.

Huang Cripple hurriedly turned on the electric light, glared at me and said in a panic: "They all said that it is not good to get involved with your longevity cub, this time I really believe it!" You brought us here, and it has nothing to do with us! ”

As soon as Huang Cripple finished speaking, the fourth child trembled and muttered, "Dad, I'll jump in first!" ”

"Shut up! You money-losing thing! ”

I didn't say a word, staring at the stiff white face of the three mothers, and the memories of the scenes when I used to get along came to me instantly, and I couldn't help but wet my eyes.

When she was in a trance, the watermelon girl came over, twisted her skirt and squatted down, stared at the corpse of the three mothers and said, "She didn't hang herself." ”

"What?" I was stunned.

The watermelon girl raised her hand to the strangulation marks on the necks of the three mothers, and said: "I have studied forensic medicine, and the strangulation marks on the living are fine and deep, dark red, and there will be blood around the strangulation marks, and then gradually turn black; But if it is hung up after death, because the blood does not circulate, the strangulation marks have no blood shade, only white marks, and then gradually turn brown. Your three mothers should belong to the latter, and they have only been dead for a short time......"

I panicked: "Usually no one comes here, so the three masters live here." ”

When Huang Cripple heard this, he scolded: "Love kills!" It's definitely love killing! Your third master must have cheated! This has to be called to the police! ”

If it weren't for the yellow cripple being my boss, I would have said this, and I would have knocked out at least half of his teeth with a fist.

The watermelon girl also shook her head and said, "It can't be so simple......"

As she spoke, the watermelon girl pressed both sides of the neck of the three mothers with both hands for a while, and finally pressed the back of the three mothers' heads, the watermelon girl obviously changed her expression, and quickly asked me to help sit up the body of the three mothers, and then pulled the hair on the back of the neck of the three mothers to take a closer look, everyone present was dumbfounded, and there was a thin blood hole in the middle of the back of the neck of the three mothers, as if she was bitten hard by something with a fang.

"That's the fatal wound."

As soon as the watermelon girl spoke, my head buzzed, and I instantly remembered the strange story about me that has been circulating in the village, on the night of the flood, something with a fang, bit the flat-haired beasts of our whole village.

Before I came back to my senses, I heard Huang Cripple exclaim: "Oh no, it's a tiger mother!" ”

When the watermelon girl heard this, she hurriedly asked, "What is that?" ”。

"There is an old saying in the ravine here, Changbai Mountain, there are strange, there are four evils on the mountain, and there are three disasters under the mountain. This tiger mother is one of the four evils of Changbai Mountain, according to legend, it is an old monster who likes to drill tiger skin, looks wrinkled like a little old lady, just one tooth, loves to drink human blood, and often goes to the village under the mountain to rob children......"

Huang Cripple trembled before he finished speaking, and then heard the fourth child say on the side: "Dad, that's a story, it's all fake." ”

How do you know that the yellow cripple said meaningfully: "If it's all fake, where did the so-called story come from?" ”

There is a lot of truth in that.

I pondered for a moment and said, "According to you, it was the tiger mother in the mountain who committed the murder and killed the three mothers?" But where are the three masters? Don't you say that he is a powerful ginseng digger, and he can watch the three mothers being killed by that thing? ”

"He should have been caught......"

Hearing the words of the watermelon girl, we hurriedly followed the sound, and I don't know when the watermelon girl had slipped to the door of the main house, and was looking into the house with the door curtain.

When I stepped forward and looked inside, I saw that the bedding and furniture in the house were staggering, as if after a very fierce fight.

When I was stunned, I heard the watermelon girl mutter, "Who could it be?" The night owl has been incognito for so many years, and he doesn't come early or late, but this happened to me as soon as I arrived in Changbai Mountain, what a coincidence......"

"You mean, this is coming at you?"

Listening to my question, the watermelon girl shook her head and didn't squeak.

At this time, I suddenly heard an exclamation from the fourth child-

"Shousheng cub, look there's something on the wall!"
