Chapter 16 Chapter 15 Waiting for the "sheep"

We followed the little bear back to the front of the barren grave, and the hole that was originally dark was covered by some weeds indiscriminately.I looked around, but I didn't see the shadows of Lao Jiu and Ah Shiu. "Ninth Brother? Fifteenth Brother?" I called softly a few times. "Here." Lao Jiu's voice came from above my head, which startled me. I looked up, and there was a big cypress tree next to it, two arms thick and thin. Lao Jiu and Ah Wu were sitting on the branches of the tree, looking at Xiao Ruxiao and me.I shook the food in my hand at them: "Why did you run up, come down to eat."

Ah Fifteen jumped down from the tree with a "whoosh".I handed him the food in my hand, Ah Wu smelled it, and threw some up to Lao Jiu on the tree.Lao Jiu rode on a branch of a tree, rolled up some meat indiscriminately with a flatbread, stuffed it into his mouth and munched, saying vaguely, "I'm really hungry." Xiaoru took two more bottles of water, threw a bottle on the tree, and gave Ah Wu a bottle. "Did you find anything?" I asked Ah Wu. "It's nothing." Ah Wu shook his head, finished the roll meat in his hand in a few bites, wiped his mouth, squinted at me and said, "It's just a few soldiers who passed by."

I looked around, the fog lifted and I could see more clearly.This tomb is less than one kilometer away from Anjia Village, with the mountains behind and the sea facing the sea.Several hills are located to the north, and the sea is to the east, and the sound of the waves can be heard from here.The coastal road lies not far away like a big snake, with no end in sight.The tourist season has passed, there are no vehicles on the road, and the noodle restaurant where we had breakfast before is also within sight. I picked up a branch and dragged it on the ground, calculating the distance.It happened to be a triangle from the dead sheep found by Xiaoxiong to the sheep pen of old man An's house, and then to here.If the destination of that thing is here, why run to the seaside, isn't it superfluous?

"Brother Shiwu, why do you think he ran to the beach?" I asked Shiwu, "Shouldn't his destination be here?" "There are two possibilities. One, he ran into the sea on purpose, and when he went into the sea, there would be no trace left." He also drew a triangle on the ground with a branch, "If you go down from here, even if you are discovered, you can only chase into the sea, and then come up from here, and come back here from the other side, so you won't be caught so easily." People have discovered it. This place is so close to the village, and it has not been discovered for such a long time. If it weren't for your dog, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find this place."

"The second possibility is that he was hiding from someone or something, and he was being chased." Ah Wu squinted at the little bear. "Well," I nodded, "maybe." I asked Xiaoru to take Xiaoxiong back first, and I climbed up the big cypress tree with Ah Wu, hid my body in the branches and leaves of the big tree, and quietly waited for the person I expected to appear.If he appeared, all problems would be solved. We rode on the branches, watching the sun sinking to the west little by little, and the world was slowly being dyed black by the night.In Anjia Village not far away, every household is lit up, looking quiet and warm.

A sea breeze blew, and I tightened my clothes.Just now Xiaoru wanted to deliver food to us, but I refused.If someone ran here again at this time, it would be easy to startle the snake.Maybe he was hiding around us, waiting for nightfall just like us. Until midnight, Lao Jiu's patience was almost exhausted.And although I was extremely tired, I didn't dare to sleep, for fear that the man would come back while I was asleep.Ah Fifteen half-closed his eyes, lying on a tree trunk, looking like he was dozing off, but his ears were constantly shaking.I knew he was listening attentively to the wind and grass around him.

After a long time, Lao Jiu turned over on top of my head and asked me in a low voice, "Is there anything else to eat?" I searched all over and found half a piece of chocolate, which was left over from my earlier teasing with the bear.He didn't care about these, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. "Hush——" Ah Wu suddenly opened his eyes, pricked up his ears vigilantly, rolled his eyes, and gestured to both of us for silence.Lao Jiu hurriedly stopped talking, not daring to vent his breath. "嗤啦——" Suddenly, a small voice came from below, as if a cat was scratching the board.Ah-Fifteen quietly picked up the gun hidden in the tree hole.The movement rang a few times and then disappeared.

"Is it a mouse?" I asked Ah Wu in a low voice. Ah Fifteen turned his ears sideways, vigilantly looking for the source of the sound. "嗤啦——" the voice sounded again, making people feel hairy in the dark night. Ah Wu frowned and looked at the deserted grave, and said with a low voice, "It's inside." I listened carefully again.Sure enough, the voice came from the grave, as if something was about to come out.Ah Wu glanced at me and said, "It's that little thing, it's alive again." "Alive?" I couldn't help but feel my hair stand on end.I saw Fifteen use a Remington to blast away the little devil with my own eyes, and the pale golden look in its eyes still scares me.A picture couldn't help appearing in my mind: a kid with a broken neck, a golden lock hanging on his chest, using its black and green sharp claws in the coffin, desperately grasping the coffin board, "chih La, chi la—"

"I'll go in and have a look." Ah Fifteen was about to jump down as he spoke.I hurriedly grabbed him: "Leave it alone, it can't get out. It would be better if the little thing is still alive." I looked at the grass-covered grave and gritted my teeth, "As long as the kid is still alive, he must come back. " The sound continued until midnight.Maybe the kid was tired, so he stopped making any noise.The three of us closed our eyes for a while, and sat on the hard tree branch for a long time, and our buttocks were painful. When it was my turn to rest, I leaned against a relatively thick branch and was dazed for a while, not daring to fall asleep.The surroundings are empty, and if you move your butt a little, you will fall from the tree.

Just when he was in a daze, he heard Lao Jiu sniggering.I gave him a sleepy look.Seeing that I was awake, he whispered to me: "Master Yu, can you watch a good show?" "What a good show?" I immediately woke up, and my heart was shocked, "He's here?" "No," the old nine thief laughed a few times, covered his mouth and said, "there are wild cannons over there." "What kind of wild artillery?" I put down the gun in my hand in disappointment, and looked at my watch. It was already past three o'clock in the morning.Lao Jiu handed me the infrared telescope in his hand, and pointed to several haystacks not far away: "Over there..."

I took the binoculars and looked in the direction of his finger. Two people appeared in the green lens, a man and a woman. The woman's pants were pulled down to her knees, revealing her white butt and thighs, like a bitch Lying on the haystack, a man stood behind him, shaking his body constantly. "Fuck! It's them!" I couldn't help screaming in surprise.Lao Jiu was taken aback: "Who are they?" The man and the woman were all known to me.The man was the man I had talked to at noon, but the woman was—"Xiaoyue!" I said in surprise.I really can't see that a woman who looks so reserved and simple can do such a thing.That man is definitely not the son of Old Man An.At this point, this kind of place is clearly adultery. I threw the binoculars back to Lao Jiu in disgust, feeling nauseated as if swallowing a fly.Lao Jiu took the binoculars, continued to look at them with a smile, and licked his tongue wretchedly: "Tsk tsk, this bitch is old man An's daughter-in-law, right? Be good, you have such white legs. Who is that man? What a blessing... ..." "Just watch, don't make a sound!" I cursed in a low voice, but couldn't fall asleep anymore.I stood up from the tree and stretched.The sound of waves hitting the beach in the distance can be heard faintly, and the sea surface can be seen from a distance from the tree, and a crescent moon falls on the sea surface, sparkling. The sea, the moonlight, the deserted tomb, the kid in the coffin, and the adulterous men and women not far away, this kind of strong contrast makes me feel extremely contradictory. "How beautiful—fuck!" I spat hard under the tree. Until the sky began to dim, but the expected Yishan sheep still did not appear. "Waiting like this is not an option. Maybe he has already discovered us." Old Jiubai was biting a twig in boredom. "Well," Ah Shiwu nodded, "I think so, he shouldn't dare to come here when we are here." "He's my brother," I turned my head and glanced at Lao Jiu, "why didn't he dare to come?" I waved to them wearily, "Why don't you go back first. I'll wait here by myself, maybe he's afraid of you guys Woolen cloth." "No, it's too dangerous for you alone." Lao Jiu spat out the stick in his mouth, "Who knows what he is like now, the big ram was killed by him." I shook the Remington in my hand: "I know how to use a gun, it's okay, and I'm close. If there's anything I need, I'll call you." "Alright," Ah Shiwu nodded, "Maybe he's just afraid of us." He jumped off the tree and waved to Lao Jiu, "Let's go." Lao Jiu looked at me with some concern: "Then you should be careful." After that, he followed Ah Shiwu and left.I watched the two of them go further and further away, slowly disappearing into the early morning light. It felt like I was the only one left in the world.I lit a cigarette, leaned against the branch of the tree, and waited quietly. I hoped that he would appear in front of me immediately, but I was afraid that if he really came, what would happen if he was no longer Yishanyang. Suddenly, I heard movement in the grass under the tree, my heart trembled immediately, and I stared nervously at the long grass with the gun in my hand.At this time, a white shadow jumped out with a "chuckle". "Little bear?" I looked at it, a little disappointed in my heart, "Why are you here?" The little bear stuck out his tongue and wheezed around the tree a few times, looking up at me.I saw it was carrying a bag, got up and jumped down from the tree, let it put its head into my arms and arch. I opened the bag on its back, and found some mutton and pancakes inside, and a note—"Brother, be careful. Come back early, I'll wait for you." Like Xiaotao's handwriting.I messed up the note, threw it on the ground, gobbled up some pancakes, and gave the meat to the little bear. "Go back." I patted its buttocks, and it grumbled and refused to go. "I'm waiting for your uncle here. He won't dare to come out when you're here." I sighed and stood up, "Let's go." Little Bear gave me a reluctant look, then turned and burrowed into the grass, disappeared. I waited until the sun came up, then it went down, and night came again.During this period, the little bear gave me two more meals. Wang Fugui kept chattering on the walkie-talkie.I turned off the intercom and didn't want to talk.I just sat on the tree alone, waiting, until I could even hear the rhythm of the little ghost in the coffin scratching the coffin, but Egoat still didn't appear. I didn't sleep for several days, I was so tired that I finally fell asleep leaning against a tree branch.In a daze, I seemed to see a person sitting on the branch next to me, just where Lao Jiu was sitting. I rubbed my eyes, and saw a man sitting there, smiling at me with a cigarette in his mouth, his clothes were ragged, and his big back hair was still shiny. "Old sheep!" I woke up suddenly, with a surge of anger in my chest, "Fuck you." I stood up to catch him, but I felt my foot slip, and fell from the tree with a "thump" down. My waist just hit a rock on the ground, the pain made my vision go dark, and I almost couldn't make a sound.After a long while, I struggled to get up from the ground, and when I looked up the tree again, was there anyone else? "Old sheep—" I roared wildly, and the voice spread far in the darkness.I couldn't tell if it was just a dream or if he really came.I lay powerlessly on the ground, so tired that I wanted to fall asleep. A hot, wet tongue kept licking my face.I struggled to open my eyelids, and found that bear's extremely fat face dangling in front of me, his eyes were full of anxiety.It was humming and biting my clothes, trying to pull me up from the ground.I think it didn't go far that day, it just hid nearby and watched over me. I habitually want to pinch its face, but I can't lift my arms. It suddenly turned its head, and stared at the grass next to it with some vigilance. "What's wrong?" I knew it had found something, and I gritted my teeth and got up from the ground, my waist hurt like it was broken.I looked at the grass indistinctly, as if hiding a person, and I strongly felt that there was a gaze staring at me inside. "Lao Yang," my heart skipped a beat, and I tried to ask, "Is that you?" Suddenly, the grass moved, and the feeling of being watched disappeared instantly, as if the things inside had gone. "Oh..." Little Bear roared wildly and rushed out, no matter how much I yelled, I couldn't stop it.I had no choice but to chase after him with my gun in hand. I roughly recognized the direction, then turned on the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Go to the beach, there is a situation." I followed the cub's cry, one foot deep and the other shallow, running wildly in the wilderness.Seeing that he was about to reach the beach, he found that the little bear had changed his direction again.Where is that over there?I feel like my legs are going to break.I saw a few bright lights coming from a distance, and then heard the movement of the car, a small Cherokee refitted like a beast came running from the wilderness with spotlights on. Wang Fugui yelled at me from the car: "Come up!" I jumped into the car and found that the fifteenth and third brothers, Lao Jiu, and Fugui were all in the car. I pointed to the direction where the little bear was running and said, "Over there." "Is it him?" Wang Fugui handed me a cigarette. "I don't know yet." I took a deep drag on the cigarette, and then coughed violently from the tobacco choking. I feel like my lungs are being crushed by myself. The off-road vehicle bumped forward in the wilderness, and there was no road in the wilderness. We walked through the saline-alkali farmland and the shrimp pond.The cub's cry became farther and farther away, until it could not be heard.Finally, Xiao Ru stopped the car. "What's wrong?" I clutched my waist with difficulty. "There's no way..." Xiaoru patted the steering wheel helplessly, and I saw a river blocking our way through the spotlights on the roof of the car. There was only a precarious wooden bridge on the river, just enough for one person to pass.On the other side of the river, a huge mountain is hidden in the night, as if a prehistoric beast is lurking in the darkness. "Go down and have a look." I got out of the car with my gun in hand, and touched the mud print on the wooden bridge where the bear had run past.I found that in the middle of the bear's footprints, there were also footprints of a pair of people, obviously barefoot. Ah-Fifteen stretched out his hand to measure it. "Yes, it's him! The footprints are the same as those at the grave," he said.
