Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Yang Erpi stared straight at me, squatting motionless in the water, the skin on his face was swollen and rotten like a corpse soaked for a long time.I took a step forward to pull him, but he backed away like crazy, muttering incessantly: "I'll give it, I'll give it, I'll give it away, I won't eat it, I won't eat it..." I was afraid that he would lose his mind, so I didn't care too much, so I took two big steps, held Yang Erpi firmly, and shouted to the shore: "Boss Yang has an accident, come and help." Yang Erpi's two fellows were originally watching from the shore, but when they heard that something happened to the master, instead of coming to help, they turned around and ran into the woods.Uncle Atie and Leopard ran towards me without saying a word, asking what happened while running.

I looked at Yang Erpi, who neither yelled nor made trouble at the moment, as if he had lost his mind, and sat in the water.The things he held in his hands had long since disappeared, and there were no lights around. I was afraid that he would mess around, so I kept half-holding and half-pressing, but I couldn't free my hands to look for the things that fell into the water. "Why is Boss Yang dead?" Leopard held a searchlight in his hand. He looked at Yang Erpi's face and stepped back a few steps. He stammered, "No, it's not because someone used it, the medicine..."

Just as he uttered the word "medicine", Uncle Ah Tie had already slapped him on the forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, first help him to the shore and let Xiangling take a look." Under the firelight, Yang Erpi's face exuded a bronze-like rust color, his cheeks were swollen, and some places had holes, from which thick and sticky rot juice flowed out.Seeing that the leopard was unwilling to come up to pick him up, I teamed up with Uncle A Tie, one on each side, grabbed Yang Erpi's left and right arms, and dragged him to the river bank.As soon as he came out of the water, he saw Xiangling coming to meet him on the shore with a medical kit on his shoulders.She and Chamu helped Yang Erpi to the temporary "bed" covered with tarpaulins, and came to ask me what was going on with four eyes from afar.I pointed at Yang Erpi, pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "The goods that Erpilian shipped may not be clean."

Four Eyes didn't understand what I meant, so he asked, "He smuggled?" "I didn't see the specifics, but the things in the box are quite evil. Where are his two buddies?" "They're in the woods." Pointing to the impenetrable woods behind us with four eyes, I said, "I saw their sweaty faces and grinning teeth, and I thought they had diarrhea!" "It's not that simple. We have to inform Uncle Atie and tell him to pay attention." After I finished speaking, I went back to the shore. When Uncle Atie heard that someone had entered the forest, his expression changed drastically.He shouted danger, waved his hands, Leopard and the remaining two horse breeders immediately got on their horses and chased into the woods.I asked him what was the matter.Chamu explained with a dark face: "You Han people don't understand the rules. This forest is the outlying fortress of Yuemiao Village, and ordinary people are not allowed to pass after dark. There are secret sentries everywhere in the forest, and they have not received the notice from the chieftain of the village. Once you find someone... just shoot and kill them without shouting."

"This is not the worst," Uncle Ah Tie said calmly, "We broke the fishing lamp just now, which brought economic losses to the village, and also destroyed the long-term friendship between the two sides. It’s even harder to explain when you turn around, and it will destroy the friendship between the two peoples.” I didn't expect that so many taboos would be added as soon as I entered the seedling field.Thinking that the two guys who rushed into the woods might be more than auspicious, a cold sweat broke out on the spot.Chamu said: "Or I will chase after him. My elder brother is a militiaman in the village. Most of the night watchmen know me."

"The more people there are, the more chaotic they are. Leopards know how to advance and retreat. If they can't catch up...then it's their fault. We must not make mistakes again and again and rush into the village overnight. Girl, look at what Boss Yang did. The others are camping at Linzikou, and everything will be discussed after the leopards come back." Xiangling peeled off Yang Erpi's collar, and a stream of pus and stench came out all at once.It turned out that not only his face was rotten, but sores began to develop on his body. "Get out of the way, I'm going to check him out."

As soon as she spoke, the people around Yang Erpi retreated one after another, and Uncle Ah Tie also pulled me to the side.Siyan asked why no one could be present for a physical examination.Cha Mu quickly replied: "It's not a normal physical examination. Sister Xiangling wants to see if there is any 'medicine' in his body." I have heard people mention "medicine" countless times, and I know that this is a common name for Gu by local residents, but I don't know how Xiangling can tell whether Yang Erpi has been infected by Gu. If she really has such a skill, maybe we won't It is necessary to go deep into the seedling area to find the little-known white-eyed old man. As long as she gives a few pointers, you can understand the ins and outs of the round worm.Out of curiosity, I deliberately chose a rather tricky position, and peeked through the human wall to watch Xiangling conduct a physical examination on Yang Erpi.The little girl first took out a pentagonal green leaf from her purse, then chewed it in her mouth, and finally put the crushed leaf in Yang Erpi's position. I don't know what her purpose is, so I have to wait patiently , to see her next move.Xiangling kept cross-legged beside Yang Erpi, staring at the old man's face meticulously, as if some baby was about to fly in the blink of an eye.After a while, Xiangling suddenly bent down and approached Yang Erpi.I stretched my neck to see what she was doing, but was yelled at by Uncle Ah Tie, or else I couldn't do anything wrong with my conscience. I almost jumped up after being frightened by him.Uncle Atie glared at me and made a head-off gesture.I gasped, thinking that Miao Gu really had a lot of taboos.Soon, Xiangling stood up and walked towards us. Seeing that Yang Erpi on the ground hadn't changed, I hurriedly asked her the result.Xiangling unhurriedly stretched out her right hand and said, "Look, it's a herring."

At first I thought I had heard it wrong, but when I looked carefully, I saw that Xiangling was holding the chewed leaf just now, and a small and strange blue fish fry slowly came out of the rotten leaf. weird.Four eyes and I looked at each other, not knowing what it was.The people in the caravan felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Someone gave a piss and shouted: "I said earlier that this mink man is not a good guy. Look, he is poisoned and dares to entrust us to deliver the goods. There must be something in it." conspiracy." Others started to discuss, saying that Yang Erpi is not a thing and should not deliver goods for him anymore.Uncle Ah Tie's complexion was iron, he glanced at Yang Erpi who was lying on the ground, his lips quivered up and down, and finally stomped his feet, shouting: "No matter what, let's camp first. Xiangling, boss Yang will be handed over to you for the time being, take good care of him." .”

The few horse breeders immediately exploded. Some people were unwilling, saying that someone in the team took traditional Chinese medicine.These horse breeders are usually very loyal, and they don't care about bloodletting and inserting knives for their brothers, but they have a deep taboo against the voodoo in Miaodi, and they would rather risk Uncle Ah Tie's anger than kick Yang Erpi out of the team. Uncle Ah Tie clenched his fist, I thought he was going to hit someone, but he shook it a few times and then let go, presumably he didn't want to be rough on his brothers.Xiang Ling clapped her hands suddenly, and said to everyone: "You guys dislike him for having medicine, are you implying that you want to drive me out too!"

It is well known that Xiangling was born in a family of medicine, she said this deliberately to make them difficult.Sure enough, none of the men dared to offend Xiangling, so they quickly said "no" "Since there is no objection, let's leave. Feed the horses, set up camp, and wait for the leopard to come back. Whoever mentions the matter of abandoning the owner will take the whip himself." Uncle Ah Tie took the opportunity to take over the conversation. He waved the whip in his hand, and everyone dispersed immediately. Those who collected firewood, those who drove piling, set up the camp one after another.

Uncle Ah Tie looked around, and smiled wryly at me: "The world is different, people's hearts can't be controlled, and the team is not easy to lead! Hahahaha, I made you laugh." I waved at him and asked if there was anything I could do to help.He glanced at Xiangling and Chamu, and said to me: "Since I took over this batch of goods, I have felt something wrong. But a manly man, 'Once a word is said, it is hard to follow'. I have nothing to worry about. Little guy...Boss Hu, if, I mean, if something goes wrong with me, I hope you can take care of them for Dr. Lin's sake." For some reason, I heard an unspeakable ambiguity in Uncle Ah Tie's words, and while nodding in agreement, I comforted him and said, "It's just a moment of bad luck, and the sun will always rise. Get some sleep, and tomorrow will be fine." At this time, there was the sound of horseshoes in the woods, and Uncle Tie smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep tonight." I followed the source of the sound, and saw Leopard and another companion leaping out of the dark woods. The horses they were riding neighed continuously, and two people were carried on each horse's back. They seemed to have passed out. . Leopard got off his horse, sweating profusely, and ran up to Uncle Atie quickly: "Damn it, if my horse wasn't so fast, all four of us would have died." It turned out that the leopards did not dare to drive the horses after they entered the woods, for fear that the noise would expose the target and disturb the night watchman.The leopard followed the traces of the two guys all the way to the depths of the woods. He knew that something would happen if he chased again, so he decisively decided to retreat, but suddenly there was a "swish" sound of arrows raining ahead.He knew that the mechanism of the night watchmen had been triggered, and he was hesitating whether to step forward to rescue them, but he saw a figure moving towards them, and after a closer look, it was the Han fellow who had escaped earlier.The two guys were scared to death, screaming again and again.The leopard couldn't see it, so he rushed into the forest first, bowed left and right, grabbed the two of them and ran away. "Things that are useless will faint later." The leopard pulled the two off their horses and shouted at them, "Don't pretend to be a grandson, open your eyes quickly, what's going on. Did you guys do something shady?" The two of them had already been terrified by a series of things. They hesitated for a while, and even compared pictures with explanations. After listening to it for a long time, I was still confused. I only knew that Yang Erpi's shipment was going to be sent to Fuxian. Lake, and it means a big customer.Yang Erpi once told several of his subordinates that this batch of goods is related to his life for the rest of his life, and if there is a mistake, he will never forgive him lightly.The strange thing is that he didn't bring his favorite student with him on this trip, let alone his precious son. He only picked some outsiders to follow.These two fellows, one named Ah Man and the other Lao Yao, are newcomers to the Slot Gang.I'm so surprised, since it's such an important business, how could Yang Erpi only recruit a group of people with money and money to go with him? Isn't this clearly making him feel uncomfortable? Everyone was silent, waiting for Uncle Atie to speak.He pondered for a while, and said: "The matter has come to this point, it's meaningless to make trouble. Everyone should do what they want, tie up the nest, avoid the swollen river beach, and gather at the entrance of the forest. As for these two people, Leopards, they are all placed in your tent, take good care of them. Everyone is busy according to the usual distribution!" Uncle Ah Tie's words were very contagious, and we were clearly suspicious at the moment, and he dismissed everyone in a few words.I took some tools for tenting from the cargo horse, and I pitched my own tent with Four Eyes.After the caravan set up the nest, everyone dispersed, and Siyan and I gathered in the tent to discuss what happened just now. "You saw it too?" "Nonsense, such an eye-catching thing, I can recognize it even when it turns to ashes." Four eyes nodded: "I thought I was wrong, what is hidden in there...is it really a black rice dumpling?" I recalled the scene at that time. Yang Erpi's reaction was too violent. I didn't have time to carefully identify whether the residual limbs in the water fell from the zongzi, but the unique rancid smell was almost from the dead body. emanating from.I said: "Yang Erpi is almost rotten into a shuttle now. We can't do it without guessing. Anyway, there is still some time before dawn. Why don't we open another box and see what they are transporting?" Siyan said that it is illegal to disassemble and look at other people's belongings without permission. I asked him what happened next. Siyan adjusted his glasses and said seriously: "But this is an extraordinary period, we can't be too pedantic. I personally think your opinion is acceptable. , and intends to support it in action.” "You're talking more and more nonsense. If you want to see it, admit it. Don't drop your book bag every day. This is Miaojiang, not Wall Street." I walked out of the tent with four eyes, and looked at the movements of the horse breeders first, and found that some of them had already driven their horses to feed.Xiangling was boiling water by the campfire, while Uncle Atie and Leopard were sitting at the door of their tent, chatting and smoking pipes.As for the large tent for the inventory, which is set up by the edge of the woods, I reckon that the two fellows of Yang Erpi must be guarding in front of their shopkeeper now, and won't bother to take care of the pile of black boxes. Now there is no one around, It's a great time to check out the goods. Siyan found a piece of black cloth from nowhere and told me to wrap my face.He said that even if we are met later, there is nothing we can do without evidence.I couldn't hold back the barrister, so I took the cloth head and tied it up indiscriminately, and then the two of them sneaked into the big tent where the black box was stored with their backs bent and the fire behind their backs. In order to prevent being discovered by outsiders, we did not bring a flashlight, but opened a small opening on the side of the big tent facing away from the camp, and introduced a little moonlight for lighting.This storage tent is made of four main poles and a huge moisture-proof canvas. Although it looks simple, it is very practical in the humid and hot Yunnan-Guizhou area.The whole tent is about four or five square meters.Yang Erpi's cargo boxes were piled up in the middle of the tent, and the box that was shattered before had disappeared, and it was unknown whether it was taken away by the caravan or Yang Erpi's people.Originally there were ten large boxes, but now there are only nine left, and the three, three, and first bases are arranged very neatly.We wanted to open one of them secretly, so the two of us climbed to the top floor to find out.I squatted on the ground first, raised my four eyes up, and then jumped up relying on the small gap between the wooden boxes as a footing.Four eyes climbed on the top of the box and asked me which box to unpack.I looked around and felt that there was no big difference, so I picked the black wooden box on the far left. "This box has a wax seal on it, so it's not easy to get rid of." With four eyes, he picked the seal on the box mouth, "Now that it's been removed, there must be trouble when I go back." I thought about it, and asked Siyan to ask for a lighter: "You are blocking the light, I roasted the edge of the wax strip, this thing is just a decoration, and it can be opened as soon as it is peeled off, and then I will paste it on them later, and the road is bumpy , it’s not a big deal if some places are damaged.” Siyan and I knelt on the top of the box, one to let the air out, and the other to unpack the box, and soon the wax seal with the fish head pattern was baked and softened.I picked it up with a knife, peeled it off whole and set it aside.The most troublesome thing is the tarpaulins on the left and right layers. I began to suspect that what Yang Erpi transported was actually a box of dried yams.Four Eyes said: "Don't make random guesses, I almost died laughing." I shook my head and said that your concentration is not enough, and you should learn more from Comrade Wang Kaixuan, who has always been better than ordinary people in dealing with these optimistic issues. Finally, the "shroud" on the black box was removed, revealing the large black lacquered wooden box inside.But we encountered a new problem. The box was actually nailed with inch-long steel nails, and there were traces of steel nails sealing the box at all four corners. "Yang Erpi's defense is tight enough, and he kept a hand inside." I rubbed my chin and thought for a moment.Of course it’s no problem to pry it now, we have iron tools on hand, but when the time comes, as long as someone dismantles it on the spot, it will be revealed immediately!What's more, each of these nails is about an inch long, and it takes a lot of work to get them out.However, everything has been done for this sake, if I return without success, I will lose face and I will be sorry for the enthusiasm of the four eyes.I thought about it, and if I don’t stop doing one thing, what should be pried is still to pry. It is necessary to drag those shady crimes hidden in the corners to the sun and bring them to justice.Of course, if it turns out that Yang Erpi is a good and law-abiding citizen, then that would be the best, or else he would turn around and send him to the police station immediately.After I made up my mind, I let Four Eyes go down to watch the wind, and I took out the horseshoe hook I brought along from the horse team and started to flip the steel nails on the box.He only picked up half a coin, and he heard Siyan whispering from below: "Old Hu, there is movement outside, come down quickly." I followed the moonlight outside the tent to look, and I really saw a figure walking unsteadily towards the big tent, hurriedly wrapped the tarpaulin indiscriminately, and jumped out of the cargo box.Unexpectedly, people outside had already entered with lights, so we had no time to escape from the tent, so we had to hide behind the cargo box, praying that no one would find us. As soon as the man entered the tent, he hung the kerosene lamp in his hand on the wall post. I only glanced at it and knew it was a man's back, but I didn't see the man's face clearly.However, since he dared to blatantly turn on the lights at the place where the goods were stopped, he must be someone who can talk in the team. If this person is not Uncle Ah Tie, then it is likely to be Yang Erpi.However, Yang Erpi already had strange sores all over his body, and he was lying dying in the patient's tent at the moment, so it was unlikely that he would appear here.So, is it Uncle Ah Tie?Like me, he is worried about Yang Erpi's goods?I held my breath and pressed my body against the cargo box, for fear of being seen by others.Fortunately, the firepower of the kerosene lamp was not strong, and there was only a little dim light.The man was standing across from us across the cargo box, holding my hand tightly with his four eyes, and clenched his teeth.I glared at him, and said to myself that you are a good old man, it’s okay to scare yourself and play like a big girl, if you fucking pinch me again, I will kick you out.Siyan seemed to understand what I meant, and immediately let go of his hand, and pinched himself instead. Because I couldn't see what the person opposite was doing, I had to judge his actions by hearing.At first, I heard the sound of knocking on the wooden box, and then the sound of pacing. It seems that this person is definitely not Yang Erpi. Like us, the person who came did not know what was in the box. He was hesitating whether to unpack it for inspection .Sure enough, after walking a few steps, the man stopped suddenly, and then heard a bang, and then the sound of cloth rubbing against each other.I don't think so, it looks like this person is going to climb to the top to dismantle the top wooden box, if he casually glances down, then Four Eyes and I will be completely exposed. Siyan also sensed that something was wrong, and tilted his head, signaling for me to get out immediately while the other party was climbing.Although I am also curious about the items in the box, if I am caught by the caravan on the spot, it is really unreasonable.So the two of us took advantage of the time when the man turned over the top of the box, and cated out from the back of the tent. After we got out of the tent, we didn't go far. We patted the blades of grass on our bodies and asked, "Should we go around to see who is inside, and treat it as passing by?" I said that you are purely here and don't have three hundred taels of silver, so you might as well talk to Xiangling and the others to see who hasn't returned to the team yet.Siyan nodded and said yes, so we pretended to take a walk and walked slowly into the bonfire in the center of the camp. "Brother Hu, why aren't you sleeping?" Xiangling was gnawing on a book, and immediately stood up when she saw us coming. Can't sleep, get up to get some air. " Xiangling looked at the sky, puzzled and said: "It's already this time, and it will be dawn in three or four hours. How can you be so energetic?" Four eyes laughed and said: "Jet lag, just came back from abroad. Hey, how are the two guys of Boss Yang?" "I went to bed early, and when I was tied up by the leopard, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to speak. I can't bear this kind of traitor the most, and I ran away by myself at the critical moment." I casually asked her if Yang Erpi's injury still needs to be healed.I don't want her to look very serious and said: "If someone prescribes the medicine, there must be someone who can cure it. I don't know whose pharmacist he has offended with his herring. Although I want to help him, I can't break the rules and break other people's Gu. " I knew she said that because she was afraid that I would embarrass her, and wanted her to cure Yang Erpi, so I hurriedly said that it was just a casual question, and told her not to take it to heart. The four eyes looked around pretendingly, and suddenly pointed to the lighted warehouse tent and said, "Why is there a light there? Isn't it a warehouse?" Xiangling didn't even look at it, and said with a smile: "We don't trust Guotou, we have to check it before going to bed. If you are not sleepy, wait for him to come back, chat for a few minutes before leaving." I looked at the four eyes, and it seems that Xiangling didn't know the real intention of Uncle Ah Tie, and only thought that he was doing a routine inspection for the safety of the goods.I yawned and said I was sleepy, so I left the bonfire with Four Eyes and returned to my tent. "Why don't you take this opportunity to take a look. With Xiangling following, Tie Guotou dare not embarrass us." "That's what I said, but he must have discovered that the goods have been touched by someone now. If we go to him now, it's not self-inflicted!" "Then what should I do? The duck that reached its mouth made it fly again. Old Hu, I found that your thirst for knowledge is not as good as before." "You kid has only known me for a few days, and you are full of nonsense. Since you can't see it for the time being, forget it. We will enter the village tomorrow, so you go to bed early." "Then what are you doing?" "I went to Yang Erpi's side to have a look. My eyelids kept twitching, and I felt that something was going to happen. I had to say hello to him before I left." "Feudal superstition." Shaking his head with four eyes, he wrapped his coat and fell asleep.I pulled my collar and walked out of the tent. Outside, the daylight was showing, and the sky was gray.I took a deep breath, said hello to the leopard who was watching the night, and then lowered myself into Yang Erpi's tent.Because it was a sick room, his tent was higher-grade than ours. Careful Xiangling set up a small stove outside the tent, and the whole tent was warm.Yang Erpi was lying alone on a camp bed made of a military overcoat, breathing steadily, or because his face was full of sores, it would not have been obvious that he would have made those crazy actions before. I turned on the oil lamp hanging on the side for a few minutes, and went to his bed.Under the firelight, Yang Erpi's rotten and deformed face was scary no matter how it looked.I squatted next to him, feeling very uncomfortable. Why are we all seniors? This time everyone went the same way. He had such an accident, and it made people confused. It was really annoying.According to his buddy, he was extremely reluctant to deliver goods to Fuxian Lake this time, and it could even be boldly speculated that he was threatened by someone.So is it possible to link his bewitching with the delivery?I felt that my analysis was very reasonable, and I couldn't help being lost in thought.Suddenly, my whole body shivered, and I felt that something was wrong.Sure enough, I looked down and saw that Yang Erpi had opened his eyes at some point. He was lying there upright, staring at me motionless.For some reason, the two eyes were covered with a grayish white light.It happened so suddenly that I almost fell to the ground.Yang Erpi didn't know whose medicine he had taken by mistake, so he sat up straight without saying a word.I expected that he would still have the strength to get up after being so ill, so I asked him if he was hungry and wanted to eat.When Yang Erpi heard my words, his reaction was incomparable.Like crazy, he tore off the quilt, raised his hands above his head, and shouted: "I won't eat, I won't eat, let me go, I want to run, I want to run." As he spoke, he pushed me away and rushed out of the tent without even putting on his shoes.I immediately chased him out and shouted: "Come on, Boss Yang has escaped! Wake up!" My roar was like a thunderbolt, and the pot exploded in the camp before dawn, and many people ran out without putting on their clothes.Uncle Ah Tie originally slept by the campfire with his clothes on. When he heard that something had happened, he immediately jumped up and sat up as if he had been stung by a snake or scorpion.With four dazed eyes, he poked his head out of the tent and asked me what was going on.I saw Yang Erpi running towards the depths of the woods, and before I had time to explain to him, I grabbed a horseman's shotgun and ran into the woods.Uncle Ah Tie yelled to stop behind me, and I chased Yang Erpi all the way straight without looking back.Soon the surrounding scenery became unrecognizable. There were impenetrable tall branches and lush leaves everywhere. The high temperature and humid geographical conditions of Yunnan and Guizhou created magnificent forests and swamps one after another.There is a complex biological cycle system that is not inferior to the Amazon jungle, and there are countless magnificent and mysterious natural scenes.But right now I’m not in the mood to care about these things. Although it’s dawn and the sky is shining outside, the woods are still dark. If there is no lighting, you can’t see your feet clearly, it’s like walking in place.I had only one gun in my hand, so I had to light it with a lighter from time to time to check for footprints on the ground.This lighter is carried by the four eyes. It is said to be a high-end product, a windproof lighter made in the United States, and it can withstand typhoons of level 10.I scoffed at this, saying that he worships foreigners.Four eyes were very angry, so he threw the lighter to me and let me look at it myself.Originally, I just collected it casually, but at this moment, it became the key to saving my life.I knelt down to check the footprints on the ground, and I saw a new set of footprints, deep in front and shallow in back, swaying from side to side, and it looked like it was left by the crazy Yang Erpi.I followed the footprints all the way forward, and within a few minutes the clue was broken.I raised the lighter to check on the ground, and the footprints were broken until here. I was afraid that Yang Erpi would change lanes temporarily, so I searched in several directions around me for a while, but I didn't find his footprints.At this time, Uncle Ah Tie's voice came from behind me, and I saw the fire, so I hurriedly waved to him. "You young man, you really don't want to die, you broke in alone." He was only wearing a sleeveless waistcoat at the moment, with most of his chest exposed, a dagger stuck in his waist, a flashlight in one hand, and a scarf in the other.I asked him what it was for, and he said that this tie-dyed turban was a common item in Yuemiao Village. He was afraid that it would be difficult for him to explain it when he met the militiamen who were watching the night, so he borrowed it from Chamu.I didn't have time to admire Uncle Ah Tie's calmness, and pointed to the footprints on the ground and said: "The person is gone, look, the footprints are broken as soon as they arrive here, like... like they disappeared out of thin air." Uncle Ah Tie squatted down. He squeezed a handful of soil with his hands, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then said, "People don't disappear out of thin air. Have you forgotten what happened on the mountain?" After being reminded by him, I suddenly realized something in my heart, and immediately looked up into the sky, and a handful of black things that did not slip into my eye sockets.Uncle Ah Tie looked up along my line of sight, and immediately rushed towards me, covering my eyes with his big hands: "Don't look, he was hanged." I was startled at first, then confused, it was just hanging someone, what is it if you cover my eyes, I am not a woman.Unexpectedly, Uncle Atie went on to say: "The people who hanged in Miaodi are looking for a scapegoat. Don't look at it. If you meet its eyes, you will be hooked and buried with it." I just thought that Uncle Tie was talking about ghosts and folk customs, and I shook off his hand: "Comrade Tie, now is an age of science, don't keep promoting such superstitious legends." I looked up at the branch of the tree. It was covered in white flowers, as if someone had really been hanged, with disheveled hair, long neck, and tongue sticking out.There is only a faint light from the fire coming up from all around. If this person saw such a scene alone, he might not be scared to death, but would also be paralyzed with fright.Uncle Ah Tie disagreed with me, he slapped my forehead: "Don't look around, this place is not for talking nonsense." I don't want to argue with him, I just feel sorry for this girl who died in vain.I heard that Miaodi has a custom of hanging herself up for love, but it's really pitiful to see her hang here alone. I don't know which village she is from, why is she committing suicide.I asked Uncle Ah Tie for a dagger and wanted to put him down, but he stepped back and firmly refused me: "This kind of thing can't be done, look at her hanging here alone, maybe she was cheated by her lover. If you intervene, you will be entangled, and you will end up miserable. Besides, her family can't find her, so they will naturally come to find someone. The custom of Miaodi is that the corpse is not buried unless it is a close relative, and the ghost is not killed unless it is a lonely soul. We are in other people's place You're still getting used to it." I couldn't get around this old Miao Jiang, so I had no choice but to promise not to ask about this matter. I urged him to leave quickly. Two big men stood under a hanged woman's corpse. Those who didn't know didn't know what to think!Seeing that Yang Erpi was nowhere to be seen, Uncle Ah Tie was unwilling to stay here for a long time.He said that the sky was already bright, and the militiamen in the village should retreat to rest. Let's look around a few more times, and if there is nothing, go back to the camp to have a look. I really can't figure out where Yang Erpi can hide if he is crazy and sick, and he yelled again and again not to eat it, don't eat it, could it be that this guy ended up like this because he was full of fresh food?I shook my head, telling myself to quickly forget this ridiculous idea.The two walked around in the forest for another ten minutes, but there was still no sign of old man Yang.I said that going around like this is not an option. You should follow your previous plan and get out first. Maybe he will go back after going crazy.Uncle Ah Tie had been walking in front of me, but he didn't respond after listening to what I said.I was just curious, thinking he had a clue.Unexpectedly, he turned around suddenly and asked in a daze, "Why isn't the sky still bright?" I didn't understand what he meant at first, but when I looked carefully, the sky was slowly beginning to light up, but now it was pitch black, as if it was night.We looked at each other, knowing that it was not good.I slowly raised my head and glanced overhead, and I really saw a white thing hanging above us. "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" People hanged themselves in different places in the same forest?It's only a ten-minute journey, so the number is too dense! Uncle Atie gasped. He lowered his head to check the footprints on the ground, and then said to me in a deep voice, "We have never been to this place before. She...she is following us." My neck lightened up by his words, and I couldn't help but shift my gaze to the hanging female corpse.The shoes under her feet have long since disappeared, and the soles of her feet are covered with mud.When I think of Uncle Atie's remarks, I don't know why I really think of a female corpse following us all the time. Wherever we go, she hangs there, not to mention how creepy it is. "How to do this?" I have a way to deal with zombies, but I don't have much experience in this kind of ghost thing.What I usually use the most is running, closing my eyes and scurrying all the way. "Don't panic," Uncle Ah Tie spat twice into his palm, then luckily, bowed his head and said silently, "Dear celestial beings, the two of us passed by here with no intention of offending, this fairy sister, please don't be offended. We will wait until tomorrow. After leaving the forest, it is natural to spread your real body to other places, so that future generations can worship. If there is a debtor, please let us go!" After he finished speaking, his face changed, and he pointed at the branch of the tree and yelled: "You little naughty bastard! After eating dog gall, I stopped your grandfather's way. I have to protect the body of the second master, and I have General Yue!" Pass down the precious sword!" As he said that, he really pulled out the dagger at his waist and gestured in the air.I looked at it and wanted to laugh, but didn't think it was serious.If you think about it carefully, their tactics and strategy are obvious, first courtesy and then soldiers, coaxing and deceiving.I just don't know whether this female corpse is soft or hard, don't make a fuss and set people on fire, and really float down to fight against us.I've always been in awe of ghosts and gods, but right now, we don't feel guilty about the hanged girl.If she is ignorant and dares to fight against us, then I can't care about anything else. I will drag her down and beat her violently first. Good men don't fight with women, but I didn't say that they wouldn't fight with female ghosts. Uncle Ah Tie spoke a series of ancient and modern national curses for five or six minutes.Seeing that he finally stopped to catch his breath, I asked how the effect was. He shook his head: "I can't sense it, let's go! See if we can go around this time." I looked at the dark sky and thought it was unreliable. It seems that this girl may be from the Miao family and cannot understand Chinese. If you say hello to her in local dialect, at worst, she will be caught and buried on the spot. I see that's how it is put in those small foreign films. Uncle Ah Tie firmly refused to touch the dead body. He said that since there are rules, there is a reason for it. It is not allowed to touch the dead bodies of relatives.I said that's ok, let's take two more steps, let me see if she is really following us.After finishing speaking, I deliberately pulled Uncle Ah Tie to run forward quickly, regardless of the random rushes in the southeast and northwest, the two ran non-stop for another ten minutes, stopped and looked up.Well, this sister is really eyeing us, and there is a female corpse hanging on the treetop without any accident.Seeing that Uncle Ah Tie refused to untie her to investigate clearly, I had a bad idea: "Why don't we go separately?"
