Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Second Leading the Way

I asked again, "Where are those cries?" Wu Zheng said: "It should be that the old lady was recalling her life experience before she left. Did she still laugh?" I nodded, only to hear the village chief sighed: "This old lady was poor when she was young, she couldn't eat, she often stole food from the house, and was beaten by her father more than once. Later, when she married with us, her husband often drank, Beat her too. But when she was in her 30s, her husband died again. When she was 60, her two sons also died digging coal in other places, and her daughter-in-law also remarried. The life of the old lady is hard, die early Reincarnation, so the old lady can laugh, it’s no wonder her. Good young man, we failed to lead the way just now, and the old lady hasn’t walked out yet, so you have to lead again.”

As soon as I heard it, this is no good, let me quote again, I have to die in the past.I now understand why some people go crazy after leading the way. If I hadn't seen the "big world", I would have gone crazy too. At this time, we heard the screams and roars of "ahhh" from a distance, like wild ghosts screaming.The village chief had a look of fear on his face, and he said, "This task belongs to you. You led the way the first time, but failed, and it must be you the second time. The old lady subconsciously recognized that you were his." My son is gone, and anyone else will die. If you don’t go, there will be no peace here every night, and this ghost scream will always exist. If you go, our whole village will remember your great virtue!” After the long speech, everyone nodded, expressing that they would let me go again.

Seeing that the situation is so bad, I can't refuse, but I have to take another risk.I asked, "How did you lead the way the second time?" I only heard Wu Zheng say: "The second guide is different from the first one. You just need to spread the dough from the gate. But this time you have to draw the index finger of your right hand, and the blood drips on the main entrance of the gate. Otherwise, she won't be able to see the way out. When her arm is on your shoulder again, remember to turn around every three steps." "Why do you have to look back every three steps?" I asked curiously.

"The old lady remembers you and thinks you are her son, so she is afraid of changing someone and going the wrong way." Wu Zheng said. After I understood it, I said, "Give me the noodles, and then give me my knife." Wu Zheng said: "Your knife seems unusual. The blade is too sharp. You should use an ordinary fruit knife. I am afraid that the old lady will not dare to come if you carry your knife on you." After hearing this, I thought to myself It's for self-defense. After a while, someone brought the flour over.I saw that the flour was very yellow, unlike the one just now, so I asked, "The color of this side is wrong!"

Wu Zheng replied: "This noodle only has cornmeal. The cornmeal is yellow, which means to take her to Huangquan Road. The second time I can only use cornmeal, and it cannot be mixed with rice flour." I didn't ask any more questions at the moment, took the knife and the bowl and walked in the direction I came from.I just heard the village head shout to me: "Young students, this time you can only succeed, not fail." I said in my heart: If you don't lure the old lady away, I will have to be lured away. The way back in the direction is relatively dark, it really is a dark moon and a high wind.The pile of firewood on the side of the road seemed to be fluffed up, and the wind was rumbling.After walking 10 meters, the road ahead is getting darker and darker. Fortunately, there is a little light in the distance, so that some dark shadows can barely be seen here.It's just that these black shadows look like fierce ghosts lurking in the night from a distance.Thinking that I was also someone who had seen big scenes, I straightened my back and strode forward.But even though I pretended to be brave, I couldn't help shaking on my back.

The wailing of ghosts in the yard became more and more clear. Although I knew the old lady was still lying on the bed, the wailing sound was very real.I slowly came to the gate of the old lady's house. It was dark inside and I couldn't see anything.But the noise inside was very loud. Compared with the strong wind and darkness outside, the inside was like a violent storm and being splashed with thick ink.I put the bowl on the ground, cut the index finger of my right hand lightly, and put the knife on my belt habitually.The blood dripped on the ground, and after about half a minute, the screams in the yard became quieter. Only then did I realize how quiet the crying in the yard was when I was carrying the old lady on my back.

I picked up the noodle bowl on the ground, turned my back to the gate, and heard the courtyard behind me slowly calm down.Following me, I sprinkled a meter-long yellow thread on the place where the blood was dripping, and the sound of sobbing footsteps came from behind.The footsteps were getting closer and closer until I was behind me. I remembered what Wu Zheng said to me, so I turned my head first and saw that there was nothing behind me, so I took another step forward.I didn't know that as soon as I left, my shoulders became cold, and I only felt an arm resting on my left shoulder.I continued to walk forward, and stopped after two steps of flour in my hand.While scratching my face, I turned my head and saw an old lady about 1.5 meters tall in old yellow clothes standing behind me.She put her right hand on my left shoulder, expressionless, but looked straight at me.

At this time, I heard footsteps in front of me, and I panicked, knowing that it was the guide in the underworld again.I walked forward again, and after taking two steps, I remembered that I had to turn back, so I took a step, and when I turned around, I saw the old lady behind me smiling at me.I think it's better to laugh than to cry, and then look at the road ahead is more than 10 meters away, it takes about 15 steps, and I have to look back 5 times. After I grabbed a handful of noodles, I suddenly felt my body sank again. It turned out that the old lady had climbed onto my body again.I barely moved forward, but every step was difficult.The old lady was getting heavier and heavier, and it was like I was carrying a big mountain on my back.After walking three steps, I turned my head again and saw the old lady smiling at me kindly.Then I turned my head back again, took a handful of noodles, and sprinkled them on the ground.I counted "one, two, three" in my mouth silently, but I didn't know that there was an old lady's voice behind her, she kept chanting "three, three, three" in her mouth, which made my ears hairy, and I couldn't help it all at once. Know how many steps you have taken.Although the road is not long, once there is interference, I am really afraid that I will make a mistake.Only a voice echoed in my ears: "It's three, it's three."

Seeing such a situation, I didn't know what to do, I thought I had really walked three steps.Just as I was about to turn around, I realized that the dough in my hand hadn't been thrown out, and my heart immediately became clearer, and I secretly said good luck.At the moment, I continue to sprinkle the flour forward, and I will never turn back until the flour in my hand is finished.After walking eight or nine steps in this way, he was about to reach the road, when the sound of a snake spitting out its core was heard on the ground.I thought to myself: Where did the snake come from here?I was so scared that I couldn't help but step back.Unexpectedly, it is difficult to move forward, but it is extremely easy to retreat, so he staggered and took several steps back.

I secretly repented, thinking that this labor was wasted in vain.So I walked forward recklessly, thinking that even if there were really snakes, I would also walk there.After making up my mind, I ignored the noise behind me and counted "one, two, three" silently, then turned around after counting three, and glared at the old lady.To my surprise, since I glared at the old lady, the noise behind me became quieter, and it became easier to follow the steps.When I counted another three steps and turned to stare at the old lady, she got off me. When I turned my face twice more, I was on the road, and there was no more gravity on my body.It turns out that subduing this old lady requires firm belief, not fear.And this idea is one after the other. If I become stronger, the old lady's side will be weakened.When I got to the road, I threw the bowl to the sky behind me, and the sound of the bowl falling was heard again on the ground.

Because I couldn't look back after dropping the bowl, I went straight ahead and didn't care about what was behind me.After walking about 30 meters, I met Wu Zheng and the others again. It turned out that these people were waiting for me here.Wu Zhengyan said, "How is it?" I said, "I've done what you said, but this old lady always yells three in my ear." The village head sighed: "You don't know, the old man is lonely all her life. With you leading the way, she thought she had a son, so she didn't want to leave." Hearing what Wu Zheng said, I understood why the old lady always made things difficult for me. And then after I glared at her, she walked away from me.Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that this old lady was really pitiful. Back at Wu Zheng's house, it was past eleven o'clock, and I saw Qiu Han heartlessly fighting against Yan Yuwei and Shu Shan for the landlord.Seeing us coming back, the three of them stood up in unison, as if to hide their happiness.Qiu Han deliberately explained for a while, saying that they were anxiously waiting.However, I was in no mood to listen to anything he had to say, I just wanted to lie down and rest for a while. Sadly, although I was in bed, I didn't sleep well.At night after the lights were turned off, my eyes were closed, but my mind was full of thoughts, and the picture that just appeared kept flashing in my head.The shadow of the tree outside the window made me think that someone was walking, and the cry of the black cat frightened me, and I thought the old lady was waiting in front of my window.If it weren't for Qiu Han's snoring, I wouldn't even dare to close my eyes. After finally surviving until dawn, Wu Zheng and others had already woken up.This morning, Wu Zheng said to me: "If you help me once, I will help you once. You must have something to do when you come here. Tell me and see if I can help you." I heard what Wu Zhengyi said, and I thought to myself, maybe he can really help.So I pulled him aside and told about Liu Xuan Guyu, and about my fourth uncle's visit to Longhu Mountain to visit Liu Xuan.After hearing this, Wu Zheng fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "The matter of finding your fourth uncle is also my business, and I am also a descendant of the secret agent. According to the statement passed down by my father, the ancient jade is related to a person left by the Qing Dynasty. The treasure, but I don't know about the other contents." "So you know something about it!" "As a descendant of a secret agent, I definitely know some information, but I don't know much. Now that we met by chance, let's unlock this secret together." After this conversation, Wu Zheng also felt that it was necessary for him to help me find my fourth uncle and find ancient jade. Now, we returned home, only to find that Yan Yuwei and Shu Shan were also waiting for us. Yan Yuwei waited for Wu Zheng because he wanted to ask Wu Zheng to help Shu Shan steal a cultural relic from a nearby ancient tomb as a basis for the school's assessment.Yan Yuwei said that although she and Shu Shan are not many women in the sect, they still have to abide by the rules and complete the tomb robbery task alone.The target this time was randomly selected by Yan Yuwei's elder brother from the sect's existing ancient tomb files. No one knew the specific difficulty at the time, and it was only after the incident the night before yesterday. After Yan Yuwei finished speaking, Wu Zheng frowned, and he asked, "How did your sect know that there is an ancient tomb here?" "I'm not sure about this. We just need to follow the map to find out the location provided by the sect." Yan Yu said slightly. "Do you know what this village is called?" Yan Yu shook his head slightly. Wu Zheng said: "This village is called Baomu Village, which means Shouling Village." "what!" Everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation! "Maybe that's why my great-grandfather took a fancy to this place." Wu Zheng said, "To be honest, I have never known the location of this tomb for so long, and even the people in this village don't know that their ancestors were dedicated to giving people Tomb guards, they have been wondering why their ancestors gave the village such a strange name." "It turns out to be like this!" Everyone said. "With your own ability, it is impossible to steal things from here. If you want to rely on the strength of the villagers, it is even more wishful thinking." Wu Zheng poured cold water on Shu Shan. While several people were talking, the village chief entered the courtyard of Wu Zheng's house. "It's a good job for you young people to come and solve a big problem for me. I especially want to thank this young man!" The village chief pointed at me and said, "If it wasn't for him, I would be so worried. Listen to Wu Zheng, this What the hell is that young man, today I specially asked my wife to make a table of meat, and I will make up for him, everyone go!" Originally, there was nothing wrong with going to the village chief's house to have a massage, but after the village chief said it, it seemed that I really had a kidney deficiency.However, although I was not willing to go, Qiu Han and the others wanted to go, so I couldn't stand their persuasion, so I agreed. Thinking of the failure of the tomb robber, Shu Shan was actually happy. She danced and danced, as if she had successfully robbed the tomb.She hugged Yan Yuwei for a while, and patted Qiu Han's shoulder for a while, feeling very at ease. When I entered the village chief's house, I thought it was a "luxury house", but it turned out to be worse than Wu Zheng's house - four tile-roofed houses plus a yard.In the main house of the village chief's house, there are mostly bamboo furniture, some of which are very dilapidated.After we were seated, the village chief began to pour us wine. When the wine was transferred to me, the village head laughed a few words, saying that the wine is very nourishing. I reluctantly took the wine glass and put the wine in front of myself.The village head finished pouring the wine, and began to give a routine lecture: "A few young people have come from afar. As the village head, I will do my best to be a landlord. This wine is made by our own family. It tastes very good. Please let it go." drink." Then, the village head began to drink: "Everyone drinks three together, half a bowl for female comrades, and one bowl for gay men." Qiu Han and I glanced at each other, and couldn't help nodding our heads. This bowl is for rice, and a bowl of wine costs more than four taels at least.But we couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the village chief, so we drank it slowly until we finished the three bowls.Fortunately, the alcohol content is not high. After drinking more than a catty, Qiu Han and I haven't poured it yet.After drinking the wine in the bowl, I was dizzy and my stomach was empty, so I hurried to eat. Not to mention, the village chief's wife is very good at cooking, Qiu Han and I are eating like hell, only the two girls are shy and don't drink much.Just when the two girls had finished their second bowl of wine, the village chief stood up and said happily, "I will announce that the drinking has officially begun!" what!This is the official start! After hearing what the village chief said, Qiu Han and I completely broke down! What kind of village is this? It's too tough! There is no other way, Qiu Han and I still want to drink! When the village head toasted me, I would spit it out with my mouth in my mouth, and when I touched the wine, I would deliberately use some force in order to spill some of it.Even so, I drank and got down. When I went out to go to the toilet, Qiu Han was digging his throat with his fingers, as if it was very tactile.This guy was really willing to drink just now, and drank it all in one gulp. The most disgusting thing is that he pretended to be a hero and sat upright! "Brother! Is that you?" Qiu Han still had two fingers in his mouth when he was talking to me. "It's me, why are you so shrugging, running here and throwing up." I said. "Is this drinking? This is murder! I've been drinking for so many years, and I've encountered a problem today!" After finishing speaking, Qiu Han vomited again. Seeing Qiu Han's precarious state, I quickly helped him into the house. "Sit down, sit down, drink well!" The village head laughed. Apparently, the village chief was very pleased with the results of his hospitality. Now, the village chief's wife has cleared the table, and he is sitting at the pawn door smoking a cigarette.Wu Zheng also drank a lot, but he seemed to be able to bear it.The two little girls also drank a lot, but they were not as embarrassed as the two of us. "Honey, serve some peanuts." "Don't move, I'll come, I'll come." Qiu Han swung his body like a bull in heat. "How can I let guests come." Wu Zheng's wife stopped Qiu Han. "Where is it? Where is it?" The high-speed alcohol stimulated Qiu Han to continue asking for peanuts for everyone. "Here." The village chief's wife couldn't resist Qiu Han. I saw that it was impossible, Qiu Han drank so much wine, how could he get anything.So I stood up and said I'm coming. After some disputes, Qiu Han finally surrendered.Unexpectedly, as soon as I took a step, he ran towards the toilet outside the house. I followed the village chief's wife and walked carefully, for fear of falling and revealing the ugly. The village head's wife gave me a bag containing peanuts. I took the bag and didn't leave, but my eyes were fixed on a half-meter-high porcelain!This porcelain is white and blue, with bright lines and exquisite patterns that penetrate into the womb. It is definitely a good thing! "Oh, what's so interesting about a jar of pickles!" said the wife of the village chief. My eyes widened, and I said in surprise, "What? This is a pickle jar!" The village chief at the side saw me staring at the jar, and said cheerfully: "I used to be poor and had nothing at home. My wife is smarter. When we separated from my brother, I snatched this jar from my mother and pickled pickles every year. We have something!" After finishing speaking, the village chief's face was filled with happiness! "Where did this thing come from?" I asked. "Who knows, I have seen this thing since I was born. It is said that it has been used to pickle pickles for generations!" I picked up the jar, and the strong visual impact told me that this is a real guy, it should be blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty.However, I can't make too much publicity at the moment, I have to find a way to buy it, and then my fourth uncle will resell it. Who knew that my idea had not been completed yet, so Shu Shan jumped up.Her fast-running brain cells drove her active limbs. I saw her snatch the pot from my arms, look left and right, and finally said: "This is the porcelain of Ge Kiln in the Song Dynasty. There are only 100 pieces of porcelain in the world. There are many pieces, worth more than ten million!" "Oh, my god!" the village chief's wife cried, "little sister, is what you said true?" The cigarette butt from the village chief's mouth was also surprised, and by the time he realized it, the cigarette butt had burned his slippers.He immediately jumped up, picked up the vegetable jar, and kissed it hard.When he was over excited, he said to us: "You are lucky stars! Haha, continue to drink tonight!" After the village chief said this, Qiu Han came in. He supported the door frame with his left hand, covered his stomach with his right hand, and said, "If you drink any more, I can't drink anymore." The village chief put down the jar, returned to his seat, and said, "Actually, not only do we have good things in our house, but we also have good things on this mountain. Do you know the name of our village? Our village is called Baotou Village. In fact, our village is It was kept by the King of Yue, others don’t know it, but I know it, and only the village chief knows! If you dig out the things in the tomb..." The village chief took a deep breath and continued, "That would be a disaster." "But this tomb can't be dug, it's not that I don't want to, it's because this tomb is fierce!" said the village chief, "There is a burial pit in the northwest corner of this tomb, and more than 100 people were killed, all of them were young women. , we can only live in the northeast corner of the tomb!" After finishing speaking, the village chief took another puff of cigarette, which pushed the end of the cigarette straight to the filter. Hearing the village chief's introduction, we were mostly sober, and even Qiu Han forgot that he was drunk. "Village chief, village chief, it's not good." A young villager ran in from the door in a panic. The village chief stood up in surprise: "What's going on?" The villager saw us and held back.The village chief pointed at us and said, "These are all my friends, it's all right!" "I don't know when a big hole appeared on the mountain." The villager said, "Today, my wife and I went to work on the mountain. When we were standing on the mountain, my wife saw a black hole at the foot of the mountain in the distance. I didn't believe it at first. , but when I got closer, it was indeed a black hole, surrounded by blown stones." The villager said. Hearing this, everyone sobered up, and the village chief took a deep breath. "How big is that hole?" I asked. "It's very big, I'm afraid it's two or three meters wide." The villager said. "It's so fierce." My heart was broken, I'm afraid it was the fourth uncle who did it.Only the fourth uncle can blow up such a big hole without making a sound. Now that he came to Longhu Mountain to look for Liu Xuan, he probably went down to find clues. "Which mountain is it?" the village head asked. "Yuewang Peak." "You go first, I will make arrangements." After the village chief finished speaking, the villager went down.
