Chapter 6: The Valley of the Dead
Lin Xiaohu walked back slowly, and after walking for a while, he suddenly became a little strange, how could he not feel hot on this sunny day? And it's cool and cool, just now, when I came out of the air-conditioned room of Ma Meiyu's house, I didn't suddenly get hot outside!
Could it be that you have some kind of disease? When Lin Xiaohu thought about it, he was a little panicked, his career hadn't started yet! Die before you get out of school?
He touched his face and his belly, as if there was nothing wrong, and his heart began to relax, reassuring himself that maybe it was because of his constitution.
Lin Xiaohu's current path is not towards Xiaodoumi Mountain, but towards the river outside the village, he wants to go to the river to watch others fish and kill time.
He suddenly felt that he hadn't been so leisurely for a long time, and the last time he could be so leisurely was when his grandparents were there. In the past few days, Lin Changguo's family has not found himself and wants to work for them by himself, but he thinks that Lin Changguo's family must want to be hungry by themselves, so they should take the initiative to come to the door, and then humiliate themselves.
But what they didn't expect was that they had already made up their minds to part ways.
I thought that when they learned that they were no longer attached to them, their faces must have looked like they had eaten flies, haha! However, they will definitely not give up, and they will definitely make trouble for themselves, but Lin Xiaohu has already thought about it, if they are really cheeky to trouble themselves at that time, they will not be so kind, and they must find the public to get all the things that belong to them back. The reason why he didn't want the two sides to tear their faces before was just because of Lin Xiaomiao.
He thought about it and came to the edge of a ditch, and although the ditch one or two meters wide was a little reluctant for him, he didn't want to go around, so he took a deep breath and jumped over after a run. In normal times, he could barely get through this ditch, but today......
When Lin Xiaohu felt that something was wrong, his body was already flying high and tall, and when he looked down, his heart and liver almost jumped out, my mother, I won't fall to death if I fall!
However, he was not killed later, but planted a few heels when he landed, but his body did not feel any pain.
Lin Xiaohu looked at the opposite side of the ditch and felt incredible, he jumped five or six meters away in this jump, fortunately, the weather was hot and there was no one nearby, otherwise his jump just now would definitely be shocking!
He looked at his feet, and still couldn't believe it, he took a deep breath, ran to the ditch and bent his knees and jumped to the opposite side, the wind in his ears blew straight down, and he landed...
This time he was mentally prepared and only planted a heel. Looking at the ditch in the distance, Lin Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and finally raised his voice and howled wolf.
When he had enough howling, he ran towards the old monk's burial place, believing that his dream that night might not be a dream, but a fact, a gift from the old monk after he left him.
Along the way, many of the flowers and plants had been lost due to Lin Xiaohu's catharsis, and by the time he arrived at the old monk's grave, he had calmed down. Knelt down on one knee in front of the old monk's grave, "Old man, I said that you were not righteous enough that day, I will take it back now, and I will never forget your kindness to me." In the future, if I, Lin Xiaohu, can use it a little bit of success, I will definitely not forget to change a coffin for you... Well, no, it's safe to go into the ground, isn't there a stinky skin left when people die, this is what you said, I'm still not moving. So, let's renovate the ruined temple? Bodhisattva reshapes the golden body? It's not right, you didn't care about it when you were old, and now you definitely don't care about that form even more, that ......"
Lin Xiaohu thought of a way to repay the old monk in the future, but after thinking about it, he found that the old monk had no pursuit before and after his death, and he was embarrassed for a while, and he recited silently for a long time: "Old man, you didn't drink alcohol before you were alive, you didn't gamble, you didn't eat meat, you didn't prostitute women, it seems that the four major ones are empty, and I, Lin Xiaohu, have nothing to repay you, even if you have, you don't care." Anyway, I am also fatherless and motherless, so I will be a filial son and grandson for you in the future? Send you incense and kowtow every year, so that you don't be lonely, okay? ”
"Five-four-three-two-one, well, since you don't speak, then I'll acquiesce."
Lin Xiaohu smiled, kowtowed a few more times before standing up, looking at the farmland under the mountain and the farmers who looked like ants, he was in an open mood and full of pride.
"Ergouzi, what did you do just now?"
Looking at it, a young man about the same age as Lin Xiaohu came out of the bushes, and the young man walked crookedly, it turned out to be a cripple.
Lin Xiaohu recognized him as Liu Ming, who lived at the bottom of the mountain, because he was hit by a car and lame, so everyone called him Liu Cripple.
Lin Xiaohu beckoned him to come over and asked, "Cripple, why are you working hard at home, why are you going up the mountain?" ”
"It's okay, just look at the ghost crying wolf howl all the way just now, just come up and take a look, and talk to you by the way."
Liu lame sat on the grass next to Lin Xiaohu.
"You care about me, I will howl if I like."
Lin Xiaohu doesn't like him very much, but he has played since he was a child, so he doesn't care about him very well.
Liu Ming's life experience is not very good, his father is dead, his grandmother is dead, and now he is accompanied by a blind old lady and a sister. Lin Xiaohu doesn't like it not because he has a bad background, his background is worse than Liu Cripple, but because Liu Ming, a kid, doesn't study well, and before he is lame, he likes to fight and make trouble, and he likes to steal chickens and touch dogs. Once he stole a chicken from Li Youcai's house, was seen and wanted to be caught, but instead framed Lin Xiaohu, who had just passed by, fortunately Ma Meiyu was aware of everything and was spared the pain of a meal of flesh and skin.
"Hehe, just howl, why are you so angry! I'm here to tell you something, do you want to hear it? If you don't listen to me, you'll be leaving. ”
Lin Xiaohu said angrily: "If you have a fart, let it go." ”
Liu Cripple didn't care, and said mysteriously: "Do you know, there are people in the Valley of the Dead again!" ”
Lin Xiaohu was immediately aroused, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Didn't there be some archaeological team in the village a few days ago, there were four or five of them, they rested at the old yellow man's house for a night, and then went to the Valley of the Dead. Who knew that he only came back this morning, and only one came back, and that one only had half a breath left, and just climbed to the old yellow head's house, and said 'there is a ghost' and died. ”
Youhu Village is backed by a big mountain, and there is a Youhu Lake on the right, and the Valley of the Dead is at the junction of the deep mountains and the Youhu Lake, which is a place that is inaccessible. Everyone in the neighborhood knew that the place was very evil, and that trouble would happen as soon as you went, so no one in the village or anyone who knew it was powerful dared to go.
But later, I don't know why, a news came out, saying that there are ancient tombs buried in the Valley of the Dead, and there are countless burial goods in the ancient tombs, and whoever digs them up can be rich and rival the country!
This news seems to be groundless, but there is some factual basis, because there are a few people in Youhu Village who have dug up gold and silver. Some of the bold ones began to fight the idea of that, and went to explore it in twos and threes, so the Valley of the Dead became even more firmly established in its name, and the people who went basically did not come back, and even if they came back, they were crazy, and they died soon after.
This man was still afraid of death, especially since the person who came out didn't bring any treasures, so people began to believe that there was no treasure in it, and that the rumor was made up by a boring person to deceive people.
Lin Xiaohu asked curiously: "Then he didn't bring out something?" ”
"What are you bringing, you came out naked, and many people saw it." Liu lame pouted.
"Then what are they trying to do, aren't they going to die!"
Liu lame smiled, "It's not, if it's me, I won't go even if it's gold and silver, my life is gone, what's the use of having money!" Ha ha. ”
"And what did those people do?"
Liu lame pouted, "What else can I do, the police station will take it away directly, but the other few people in the valley are not so lucky, no one dares to enter, so they have to storm the corpse wilderness." ”
Lin Xiaohu asked puzzledly: "Aren't they from the archaeological team, don't the country care?" ”
"What an archaeological team, I think eight times out of ten. Nine is a lie, just some tomb robbers, if they die, they will die, who will care. ”
"That's right." Lin Xiaohu nodded in agreement, and said, "Cripple, do you think there is any treasure in that?" ”
"Where?" Liu Cripple was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, "There must be, it's just that the Valley of the Dead is as big, and it is in the deep mountains and old forests, there are many strange things, and no one has the ability to figure it out." Hey! Ergouzi, why do you ask that, do you also think about that thing? ”
Lin Xiaohu joked: "Yes, who doesn't want to get rich overnight." I'm ready to go in and it, lame, why don't we both go and see it too? ”
"If you want to go, I won't go!"
Liu Cripple was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Ergouzi, I heard that you are bold now, and I didn't believe it, but now when I see it, it's obviously bold!" ”
Lin Xiaohu smiled, "Lie to you, lie to you, I look like the kind of master who wants money and doesn't want to die?" After a pause, he said, "Cripple, I'm going to work outside in a few days, do you want to go with me?" ”
"Where are you going?"
Lin Xiaohu pointed outside the mountain, "Go to the town, I went to ask Aunt Meiyu, she promised to help me find a job." ”
Liu lame scratched his head and puzzled: "Isn't the village chief just there to package the project, what are you doing casually, what are you looking for?" ”
Lin Xiaohu spread his hands, "I said the same too, but Aunt Meiyu didn't let me do that, saying that she was too tired, and asked me to come back and wait for a few days from her." ”
Liu Cripple said with envy: "Aunt Meiyu is too good to you, your kid looks handsome and is likable, and she ignores ordinary people when they ask her." The last time I went, I didn't speak, but she scolded me and drove me out. Alas, people, they have the same fate and different luck. ”
Lin Xiaohu's old face turned red, and he didn't want others to say that Ma Meiyu was not behind his back, and scolded: "You dead lame, who told you to offend others." What does this have to do with appearance, who in the village doesn't say that Aunt Meiyu is good. Cripple, don't talk crazy here, and ask if you have time, what is the future of Lao Wo in this village! ”
