Chapter 9 Going to the Appointment in the Back Mountain

The five-room courtyard is lively and lively. There is no wind, and the sun is the most beautiful and warmest in winter. Therefore, people will say "warm sun in winter", warm like a lover's kiss, if the autumn wind is like a lover's thoughts in the distance, then winter must be like a lover's kiss beside you. The big black dog in the yard was lying lazily, his eyes seemed to be open, and he was enjoying it very much.

A black cat is rolling on the ground, extremely cute. Cats are indeed very cute animals, but they have a much bigger temper than dogs, and if the owner provokes the cat, it will bite and scratch people. Dogs, on the other hand, will never bite their owners unless they are mad dogs. Therefore, dogs will never betray their owners, and all kinds of swearing words with the word "dog" are so unfair to dogs. Basically, no one uses the word "cat" to curse.

Zhang Lei convened the team members for a meeting, and the location was chosen in the main house of Xiaolu's family, the houses in the countryside are very large, and each family generally leaves the main house in the middle of a house, also called "Tang House", the house is adobe, there are also wooden, and the five-room house is very large, "The whole house is made of wood, and it is integrated, and each family is flat and connected with five houses together, and the roof is covered with veneer." Each house in the Green family was larger than the other four houses. Zhang Lei asked Li Xiaoyu to close the door, and it was inconvenient for others to listen.

Zhang Lei cleared his throat and said, "Comrades, you have worked hard for the past few days. There are three contents of today's meeting: First, donate money to the children here so that they can buy some stationery.

Second, everyone talks about what they have seen and heard in the past few days, and let's make plans and arrangements for the next step after summarizing.

Third, put on civilian clothes, search around for information about the strange pit outside the city, the superior replied to us, the sample we collected last time is a kind of combustion energy, and the energy is amazing, a small drop can burn for three days and three nights without extinguishing, at present, we have not found this kind of energy in China, I estimate that there should be no such advanced energy abroad. First of all, we donated 100 yuan to each of the children here, and 100 yuan to Xiaolu, who is an orphan. The remaining 600 yuan was used by Mr. Li Dong to pay for the children's stationery. After that, he first took out 100 yuan and put it on the table, and the other six members also donated money in turn, and finally Zhang Lei put the money away.

"Now for the second item of the meeting, comrades are invited to report what they have seen or heard. After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to start in turn.

Then everyone seriously reported what they saw and heard to Zhang Lei one by one. Zhang Ying told Zhang Lei all the things about the green stone on her neck and Xiao Lu, but she omitted to talk about beauty with Xiao Lu. Gu Tao learned from Grandma Xiaolu's mouth that as long as Xiaolu cried, her tears would turn green. It's also like Zhang Lei's report. Several other team members listened to Zhang Ying and Gu Tao's reports, and their eyes were stunned and surprised. Zhang Lei seemed to be in deep thought. After listening to the report of all the team members, Zhang Lei himself also told everyone what he had learned, and after listening to Zhang Lei's story, everyone couldn't help but feel creepy, because they didn't believe that such a thing would happen at all.

Zhang Lei said: "Before eating, Xiao Lu told me something, he said that he saw Zhang Zhang again, just after we went to the crow's mouth, at the door of Li Dong's house, Xiao Lu told me that every time he saw Zhang Li, he was basically at the door of Uncle Li Dong's house, he never entered the house, no one's house entered, he also once asked Zhang Zhang why he didn't enter the house, Zhang Zhang only told him that he could only walk to Uncle Li Dong's door at most, and he couldn't walk any farther." Midori offered to carry him, but he resolutely refused, and never let Midori touch him, and Midori also told me that Zhang Li invited him to play in the back mountain at dusk. Zhang Li told Xiaolu that he had always lived in the old man's house in the back mountain. Midori only told me one person, and he also told me to keep it a secret and not let anyone else know, especially my grandmother, who would be very worried if she knew. ”

"Will Xiaolu go?" asked Zhang Lei worriedly.

"Is he afraid?" asked Zhang Ying with a serious face.

"He wants to go, and at the same time he is also very afraid, not afraid of tension, but afraid of going to the back mountain, because he and his grandmother went to the back mountain to sweep the tomb of his mother, although the back mountain is not far from the five rooms, but everyone knows that it is actually a cemetery, because there are a lot of graves in the back mountain, of course, not all of them, because in the center of the tomb, there is a house, a house of the old man who guards the tomb, I encouraged him to go at the time, I said that I will protect him secretly in the back, and I will go with Xiao Lu at dusk today to see what is going on, whether I can see Zhang Li。 Zhang Lei's voice just fell, so the team members asked to go with them out of curiosity.

"In order to avoid exposure and protect Xiaolu's safety, let's go with me, no one knows if the others stay here to inquire about the strange pit, near this mountain, in addition to five rooms, are there any other people's homes, if there is, go and investigate." I also asked about the strange things of these years. Everyone was very unhappy with Zhang Lei's arrangement, and they all wanted to go and see, Zhang Lei said: "This is an order, let's act separately, and wait for us to come back." ”

At the end of the meeting, Zhang Lei handed over 600 yuan to Mr. Li Dong in front of the big guy and explained his intentions. But Mr. Li said that he would not accept anything, and after some persuasion, Mr. Li Dong was moved to accept the money, and repeatedly thanked Zhang Lei and his party. The people in the five rooms all cast grateful glances, and they all said that the PLA was good. With 100 yuan left, Zhang Lei handed it to Xiaolu's grandmother in front of Xiaolu, and asked Xiaolu's grandmother to buy Xiaolu a pair of shoes to wear. Grandma Little Green also refused to accept it, saying that she was embarrassed to accept such a big gift. He also said that no one in the countryside will be stingy with coarse tea and light rice, and the comrades of the People's Liberation Army do not need to worry about it, although they eat and live in their homes. After everyone's persuasion, Grandma Little Green reluctantly accepted the money and thanked her again and again. At that time, the money was really valuable, and I could earn 20 yuan a day by doing hard work in the city, which was a good salary. So for a rural family, 100 yuan is really not a small amount.

It's almost dusk, and the sun is setting, which is extremely beautiful. It's just "the sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk." "Usually it's getting dark, and it's time for people who work outside to go home. And for people who have something, it is just when they are about to go out, Zhang Lei, Gu Tao and Xiaolu are preparing to go out to the back mountain. Before leaving, Zhang Lei told Xiaolu's grandmother that he would let Xiaolu take him out to hunt pheasants. It's a white lie.

There are many such lies in life, and people inevitably have to tell some. For example, the doctor will lie to a patient with terminal cancer that his or her illness is not a serious illness, but mainly malnutrition, and that he or she should eat more good things to supplement his nutrition, rest more, be happy, and be cured. Then explain the truth to the patient's family behind the patient's back, let them try to meet the patient's requirements, and let the patient spend the last days of his life happily with good food and drink.

Xiao Lu's mother died of breast cancer, and she found that the time of ** pain was when Xiao Lu was two months old, so she also stopped breastfeeding Xiao Lu, and Xiao Lu has been eating rice cereal since two months. In fact, when she found that she was uncomfortable, she was already in the advanced stage of breast cancer. Breast cancer is more common in women, and the six symptoms of advanced stage are: lumps, pain, discharge, skin changes, and appearance changes.

The road to the back mountain is not far but not close, Zhang Lei and Gu Tao followed Xiao Lu to keep a suitable distance, they walked for an hour and finally arrived at the back mountain, the back mountain is a piece of about one kilometer long, about 50 meters wide Pingzi, in the middle of the dense graves, there is a house, this is probably the house of the old man who guarded the tomb that Xiao Lu said. At this time, it was already dark, but fortunately it was sunny during the day, and at night there was a crescent moon and a few stars in the sky, and I could finally see the figure clearly. The breeze was on the Buddha's face, and a few fox cries were heard in the distance, which only added a little horror.

Xiao Lu glanced back at Zhang Lei and Gu Tao, and Zhang Lei nodded to him and motioned for him to move on. The two of them looked at Xiao Lu, and saw Xiao Lu slowly walking towards the old man's house step by step, which was quite large, surrounded by walls, and a main gate in the middle, with two large locks on the gate.

Xiao Lu stopped 100 meters away from the house, because he saw Zhang Li, Zhang Li was standing there with a smile and waiting for him, Zhang Li stepped forward with a smile: "Xiao Lu, you are here, welcome, come and see, this is my house, Xiao Lu saw that it was a stone house, the house was not big." Zhang Zhang beckoned Xiao Lu to sit down at the table, took out some peeled boiled eggs and a plate of cold meat, and handed Xiao Lu a pair of chopsticks, telling Xiao Lu not to be polite, just eat. Xiao Lu didn't eat, Uncle Zhao Bei's house killed pigs in the morning, Xiao Lu was too full there, but remembered Zhang Lei and Gu Tao, so he said to Zhang Li: "By the way, Zhang Li, in addition to me, there are two PLA uncles who accompanied me, why don't you invite them to eat something." Zhang Zhang did not refuse, and said very happily: "Where is it, you go and call them, I saw them come to your house that night." So Xiao Lu walked back and said to Zhang Lei and Gu Tao: "Two uncles, I just talked to Zhang Li, and I forgot that you are still here, Zhang Li invited you to his house to eat something, okay?"

"Okay, you see tension? Why didn't we see it?"

"See, it's over there, let's go to his house together. Zhang Lei and Gu Tao followed behind Xiao Lu and stopped 100 meters away from the old man guarding the tomb.

"Here, two uncles, please sit down, you're welcome, just eat something. ”
