Chapter 24 Chapter 23 Landing on the Island

Before I knew it, the boat had already docked. I called everyone to drop the anchor and tie the rope, and quickly fixed the one-horned dragon boat on the pier along the coast of the big isolated island.Bai Yanweng seemed to have not returned to his hometown for a long time, his expression was agitated, and his hands trembled slightly.Fei Cui was always by his side, constantly rubbing her head against her master, as if trying to calm him down.After discussing with Fatty and the others, we decided not to take Yang Erpi off the boat. Firstly, he was inconvenient, and secondly, there was always a guard on board.I asked Siyan to accompany Baiyanweng up and down the pier for a while, and then went down to the cabin with the fat man.Yang Erpi was conspired and poisoned, and now he is only half-breathed.He leaned against a corner of the cabin, half asleep, and asked where we were.I told him that we have already arrived at the big isolated island, and we will lift those three damn boxes up and send them to the designated place in a while, and the matter will be over.Yang Erpi was very excited. He coughed for a long time and spit out a mouthful of thick blood. Then he spoke: "Everyone's great kindness, I, Yang, will definitely repay the opportunity if I have the opportunity. Cough cough cough cough cough cough. Just now and The old man in my cabin, he, who is he?"

"Why, what did Uncle Bai tell you?" I didn't expect Bai Yanweng to wake up so early and talk to Yang Erpi before the storm. "He, he is an expert, he said that the Gu on my body, the Gu is caused by the herring at the bottom of Fuxian Lake, cough, cough, he said that everything is fate. I, I don't understand this, can you understand? ?” "He was originally from this big isolated island. It's not surprising that he knows Gu. I'll let you know what he meant later. Do you still have the strength now? We'll go down to deliver the goods in a while, and the ship will deliver Is it convenient for you?"

"Convenience, convenience, cough, cough, if I didn't want to break my bones, I would have to go with you. I, I..." I saw that he was about to tell those sensational jokes again, so I stopped him immediately.Said that time is running out, so hurry up.Yang Erpi nodded repeatedly and waved for us to go quickly.And told us that there is a small flatbed cart hanging next to the ship board, which can be used to transport cargo boxes.Thank goodness, fortunately, he had already prepared a hand and knew to leave us a small car, otherwise we really don't know how to transport the three big boxes to the mountains just by us alone.Although the trolley is not an advanced means of transportation, it is better than nothing on such a shabby island right now.We lowered the landing board at the bow, pulled the flatbed up from the position of the lifeboat, and lowered the cargo box with the ship's pulleys and ropes.This back and forth went on for nearly half an hour.At this time, the mountains in the distance have revealed a slight glow.He looked at his watch with four eyes and said, "It's broken, there are about twenty minutes left. Let's hurry up."

I said that this is not a matter of urgency, it is a matter of urgency, what about the list, didn't Yang Erpi mark the delivery place?Siyan took out another delivery note, on which was written "Mad Dog Village Zongtang" in big characters. "No, no more?" The fat man stomped his feet and scolded, "Isn't this just playing with us as crickets? Gou Ri's village has long since disappeared. Go to his mother's ancestral hall, and I will give it to its ancestors for eighteen generations!" I was dumbfounded all of a sudden, I didn't expect such a terrible joke to be made at this last juncture.Mad Dog Village disappeared 30 years ago, where can I find the ancestral hall for him now.White-eyed Weng was walking along the bank with Jade, and when he heard us sighing, he came up to ask.I see that there is not much time left, so I have no choice but to act as a living horse doctor and tell him the truth.Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Bai Yanweng's complexion suddenly changed.He asked me to help him to the side of the cargo box. I didn't know what the old man meant, but I did it anyway.The white-eyed old man walked tremblingly to the side of the cargo box, put one hand on his knee, and the other hand hung down on the oilcloth wrapping the box.After groping for a while, he asked me what the box was like.I said: "I dismantled it once before. I don't know if it looks the same as the others. I remember that it was a wooden box with a black lacquer. I'm not too sure about the situation."

Bai Yanweng asked eagerly: "Is there any fish, is there any herring?" Yes, yes, seal fish made of wax..." "That's it, that's it." Bai Yanweng's throat rolled up and down for a while.He grabbed me, quite excited, "Come on, follow me. We've caught him, we're going to catch him." I was confused by Bai Yanweng's crazy words, Fatty and Qin Siyan were also confused, everyone stared wide-eyed and didn't understand what he was talking about. "No time, cart! Come with me and explain on the way." Bai Yanweng stomped his feet and made a "go" gesture.Fei Cui immediately bit the handle of the cart as a gesture to leave.I knew that there must be a shocking secret in it, so I held back my doubts, pushed the cart together with Fatty and Siyan, and walked towards the mountain behind Baiyanweng.

The fat man muttered: "I said, Lao Bai, you can't see, and you are running ahead alone, what if you take the wrong road?" Bai Yanweng didn't seem to hear him, and still strode forward. "Why do I feel that this is not reliable?" The fat man lowered his voice and said to me, "We are wandering all over the mountains and plains with a bad old man who has a history of mental illness. If there is a mistake, Yang Erpi will be in trouble." "What else can we do if we don't follow him? We don't even know where the Mad Dog Village is, so I'm puzzled, but you guys are talking about it, which bastard who doesn't open his eyes would come up with such a bad idea to torment people. Ah, the village It’s gone, and it’s still delivering goods to the ancestral hall, isn’t there a ghost!”

With four eyes, he said: "But I see that Uncle Bai seems to have a plan in his mind. Does he know something hidden, and the story just now is clearly only halfway through. We still don't know how Mad Dog Village disappeared." "Yes," I was met by four eyes, and I remembered an important question.Bai Yanweng chatted with us all the way, and it was all about what happened to the Ye Shen team, and he didn't talk about the topic of Mad Dog Village at all.This old and unscrupulous person was almost fooled by him.I handed over the car to Siyan, chased after it, brewed some feelings, and then asked Bai Yanweng: "I haven't finished talking on the boat just now, I don't know if you and that Zhang Daxian came up with a two-way plan later. idea?"

After all, Bai Yanweng was getting old, so it was inevitable that he would be panting if he walked faster.I reached out to help him, but he blocked me with his backhand: "It's okay, let's not stop, we'll be there after a while. I know he's back, and I won't let him succeed this time." "Who is coming back? Are there any other survivors in Mad Dog Village?" "You really want to know?" "Isn't this nonsense? We've been kept in the dark all this way. You didn't tell me the ins and outs of the round worm, and you didn't explain what happened in Mad Dog Village. You just thought about your own past."

"It's not that I don't say it, but that I'm afraid that if I say it, you won't believe it." "Aren't there enough strange things these days? Since you know what I do, what strange things are there in this world that I can't believe?" Bai Yanweng pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand, and I hurried forward to hold it.He cleared his throat and said: "I was hesitant at the time, so I left the remaining three people in the ancestral hall and ordered them to lock the gate and find a ferry back to the village after dawn. Then I lifted the half-dead man with Zhang Daxian. Master Rice Bag boarded the small boat he rented and rushed towards the big isolated island. It was already midnight, and the noisy and chaotic voices resounded throughout the lake. Before we landed on the island, torches were lit in the village. I As I said before, outsiders are not allowed to appear in the Fuxian Lake area during the period of offering sacrifices to the lake god, so as soon as the speedboat outside appeared near the pier, it immediately attracted the militia guards from the village. There are fierce dogs of the size of Fei Cui all over the village, and every household has one or more. The dogs in the guard are even more fierce, and they can eat half a bull's head with a single bite. I'm afraid they will let them go The dog hurt people, so I had to park the boat on the lake, and then shouted at the guards. At first, the other party couldn't believe that it was the new witch who came. Everyone knew that today was a big day in Mad Dog Village. I left the small isolated island, and I won’t be able to come back until tomorrow. I was so anxious that I had to pull out the civil defense team leader on the spot and beat him up. When I finally figured out my identity, it was almost dawn.”

In a panic, everyone carried the rice bag master into the mansion of the witch.Baiyanweng's master is called Ga Miao, who is an out-and-out Miao family. He fled to Mad Dog Village because of political disagreements with the Chief Chieftain of Miao Village.When the old man Gamiao saw his apprentice coming back at this hour, he knew that something was wrong. He called the villagers to carry the rice bag master into the house, and then called Bai Yanweng to a secluded place to inquire about the whole story. The old man Ga Miao told Bai Yanweng that the worship of the gods was related to the prosperity of the whole village, and if it was not handled properly, there would be big troubles.He ordered Bai Yanweng to go back to the small isolated island immediately, and bring back Ding Haizhu and the rest of the God team.To prevent accidents, another team of civil defense soldiers and giant dogs were sent to accompany him.The white-eyed man didn't close his eyes all day and night, running between the two islands. When they finally rushed back to the ancestral hall on the small isolated island, they found that the door of the ancestral hall was wide open, the tablets were broken all over the floor, and there was no one in the house. Don't mention Ding Haizhu.As soon as Bai Yanweng walked into the empty ancestral hall, he almost fainted. He couldn't believe it. In just four or five hours, everything had changed beyond recognition.

"I knew that I had the militia captain tie me up when I got into a catastrophe this time, and went to the patriarch to plead guilty. After returning to the village, the eyes of the big guys changed when they looked at me, and the older ones called me Sangmen Star, and some people even proposed to take me to the lake to vent their anger. In short, overnight, everything changed... changed." Speaking of this, the white-eyed man suddenly stopped in his tracks. Fatty and I were listening intently, not knowing why he stopped.Bai Yanweng sniffled and asked me, "Do you see the hillside ahead?" I looked into the distance, and there was indeed a steep slope at the end of the mountain forest about a hundred meters away from us. "The ruins of Mad Dog Village are there. Our road is coming to an end. You will see me later. Don't be surprised when you see the village. I didn't lie to you." I thought to myself that it was just a ruins of a deserted village, so what’s the fuss about it?When he talked about the place, we naturally understood it, and it was inconvenient for me to ask more questions, as it seemed that I had no depth.Siyan is a model of respecting the old and loving the young. He saw Baiyanweng walking for so long, so he asked him to sit on the cart and rest for a while.The old man refused to live and die, and would not let us take care of him. At this time, the first ray of light in the morning has passed over the mountain. I told everyone to work harder and make sure to deliver the things before sunrise.The mountain that Bai Yanweng said looks very high, but it is not difficult to climb up.Soon we climbed to the top of the peak. As soon as we got there, I was dumbfounded. Oh boy, what is this mountain? "This, this is Mad Dog Village? Did you bring it to the wrong place? No matter how you look at it, this is a lake of stagnant water!" The fat man dropped the cart in his hand, lay down on the edge of the lake, and put his hand into the water, "Ouch, It's quite cold. Lao Bai, you can't trick us, where is the village? Why didn't I see anything?" I parked the flatbed truck by the lake, looking at the blue and quiet lake water, worrying, the old man is really crazy, and he made fun of us little ones.At this time, the sun had already climbed to the top of the mountain, and I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely. Could it be that Yang Erpi was going to die because of us guests?I was going to ask Bai Yanweng for an explanation.I saw the fat man yelling "Be careful" and I hurriedly turned my head, only to see Fei Cui suddenly uncharacteristically, like a tiger out of its cage, rushing towards me.I didn't have time to dodge, but I was slammed into it, and I fell back into the bottomless green lake. When I fell into the water, I could vaguely hear the screams of Fatty and Four Eyes.
