During his tenure, he was not greedy or occupied, and until he retired cleanly, he finally had a beginning and an end.

Where did you think that when you are old, you will be wronged and greedy for ink, and it is so rare?

Old Chen said angrily: "What are you nervous about, I won't be greedy for you." ”

Li Bai had no choice but to shrug his shoulders.

"Strange, there are really no mosquitoes!"

After sitting at the folding table next to the tent for a while, the old village chief also noticed something unusual.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, and it's definitely more than just talking, otherwise he wouldn't have kindly sent mosquito coils over.

Especially after the sun goes down, the large and small mosquitoes that fly out of the corners and corners of the country pounce on the person, eager to suck a full stomach, who cares if the plasma will be photographed in the next moment, turning into a small bit of blood sludge.

But until now, it was empty, not to mention mosquitoes, and I didn't even see the shadow of a small flying insect.

The old village chief would never believe that all the mosquitoes in the village and outside the village are on vacation today, and none of them are nearby.

There was a soft click.

The tops of the four light poles scattered around the tent automatically lit up, and it was getting dark!

This kind of customized light pole not only comes with a large-capacity battery, but also has the functions of timing, gear adjustment, light and dark sensor switch, voice switch and infrared sensor switch, after all, it is a customized product, you get what you pay for, and it is not bad that little functional module, commissioned to make it together with the manufacturer, the number is 5,000, in case of emergency.

Whether in the field or in the cave, there are places where these light poles can be used, not only for lighting, but also as early warning mechanisms.

High technology?

Although living in the mountains, it does not mean that he is isolated from the world, and when he saw the light pole lit up, the old village chief immediately thought of science and technology.

The snake scales in the other party's mouth, saying that Bucong is something that can strongly repel mosquitoes, even if it is not black technology, it must be a rare high-tech product on the market, and now it seems that the effect is really good, sitting here I can't see mosquitoes approaching at all.

"Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables! This dried plum dish is really delicious, and the pork belly is also good. ”

Lao Chen Tou was very satisfied with the three bowls of vegetables brought by the old village chief, all of which were sincere farm vegetables and local pork, which were fragrant just by smelling them, which made people have a great appetite.

"Let's live!"

Li Bai untied the remaining grass carp and crucian carp that were roasted to crisp inside and out, sat down at the table with him, opened the beer and didn't use a paper cup, just raised it and said, "Two old men, go one." ”

Anyway, it's okay not to drive tonight and drink.

"Touch it!"

Lao Chen raised his cup and touched it with Li Bai and the old village chief.

The two old men just took a sip, and they couldn't take a big sip like Li Bai.

"Young man, don't you want to be white? I've been hiding it for a long time. ”

The old village chief recommended the Wuliangye he brought, he opened the village supply and marketing cooperatives when he was young, and the old version of Feitian Wuliangye was saved at that time, and it was forty or fifty years old.

"It's still a beer addict. ”

Li Bai shook his head.

The weather is so hot that the carbon dioxide contained in the beer goes up in the stomach, and it is very pleasant to burp and take away the heat in the body.

The heat of the grilled fish is quite in place, fragrant and crispy, even the fish bones and fish bones are crispy, a bite down, the mouth is full of oil, if the teeth are better, you can even swallow the meat with thorns.

The three of them ate a dozen fish cleanly, and even most of the other dishes on the table were destroyed.

The main force is still Li Bai, and the two old men add a piece, and none of them can eat it alone.

Regarding the legend of the "haunted house" in Tiankeng Village, the old village chief is like a loach that does not slip his hands, and he has always denied it, or he is pretending to be stupid in a vague way.

Old Chen Tou tried several times, but to no avail.

The leftovers were cleaned up with disposable paper cups, paper bowls and bamboo chopsticks, sorted into different bags, and thrown into the trash cans placed in the village, so that the work after the meal was cleaned up.

The old men and women left behind in the village have long passed the age of curiosity, and except for the old village chief who came with wine and food, there is no one else who came to see the excitement.

If it weren't for the lights on in some of the houses and the shaking of people, it would probably make people think that there was no one else in the whole village except for this village elder, and just thinking about it would make people panic.

Volunteering to throw out the garbage, by the way, the old Chen Tou, who had taken a turn around the neighborhood, sat back on the folding stool, pointed to the ground under his feet, and said, "The haunted house should be here, I'm sure." ”

Two old guys probed each other at the dinner table, and although there was no conclusive dry goods, they could still vaguely guess something.

Ignoring it is an attitude, taking the initiative to test is another attitude, before Lao Chen Tou retired, he was an officer of the Organization Department of Huxi City, although the official is not big, but he does not lack any vision.

"Yes, it's nearby. ”

Li Bai did not look at his face less, and obtained some clues through professional analysis, which ended up with Lao Chentou's judgment.

"I just don't know which one. ”

Old Chen Tou looked around unwillingly, trying to find the existence of the "haunted house".

If you can find and crack it, it's worth the trip.

-

At nightfall, there are only a few solar-powered street lamps in the village, which are not very powerful, and can only illuminate seven or eight square squares below, barely taking care of a few major intersections.

In addition, there are only seven or eight lit courtyards, and the rest are darkly lit, more than two-thirds of them, and they look like all of them are haunted houses.

Near the village, one in the east and one in the west, there are many old houses that have been completely abandoned, which are even more suspicious.

"You'll know in one night, haunted houses, they're going to be haunted. ”

Li Bai shrugged his shoulders, and the four light poles lit up in unison, illuminating the area where the tent was located.

Obviously, the lamp pole was on, but not a single light-seeking flying insect came to haunt it, in fact, those little things that didn't know whether they were alive or dead just reached a radius of fifty meters and crackled and fell to the ground, and they couldn't fly anymore.

However, the lights still attracted all kinds of flying insects, and it seemed to rain insects fifty meters away, which also attracted some insectivorous creatures to come over, and enjoy these flying cross-food in large pieces.

Within a radius of 100 meters is pure land, and 100 meters away is hell.

On the mountains in the distance, there were more wild beasts screaming at some point, far and near, one after another, like ghosts crying wolf.

"This place ......"

Listening to the sound outside the village, Lao Chen couldn't help but get goosebumps on the back of his neck, how to stay in the village is the same as staying in the wilderness, wild animals are inevitably too active.

Because of the long-term lack of popularity in Tiankeng Village, nature has begun to regain its territory, and the range of wild beasts has unceremoniously covered the entire village, and sometimes you can even see wild boars, hares, pheasants and other birds and beasts sneaking into the village, swaggering through the village, or recklessly devouring those crops, and sometimes unfortunately falling into traps and beasts, becoming a meal for the old people in the village the next day.

Therefore, at night, the old man who stayed behind stayed at home, and kept the courtyard door and the door of the house firmly closed, so as not to let the fierce beast break in.

Li Bai said nonchalantly: "It's okay, don't throw away that snake scale, the beast won't approach." ”

He doesn't care about himself, he comes as much as he wants.

It's Lao Chen, who is counting on the snake scales of the Qingyao demon girl to act as a talisman!

As for the repelling of mosquitoes, it is only a minor incidental effect.

"It's so amazing, I don't know if it's reliable!"

Old Chen felt a little chill on his body inexplicably.

"Like the smell of wild beasts, snake scales release pheromones that make other creatures aware of danger and afraid to approach. ”

Li Bai is talking nonsense about science, but in fact, the principle is similar, and the so-called "pheromones" are just demonic qi remaining on the scales.

"Then this snake must be very powerful, right?"

Old Chen took out the turquoise scales and looked at them carefully.

I don't know what kind of snake can carve out territory for itself like a lion and a tiger.

"What a fart, let me stew it a long time ago. ”

Li Bai expressed his disdain, eating and sleeping, and stewing demon girls at work, this is his daily routine.

"Rare and protected animals, you just ate like this?"

Old Chen Tou was skeptical.

Such scales are hard to come by, and he really can't believe that Li Bai is willing to stew directly.

"It's not on the list of protected animals, and it's not illegal to stew. ”

Li Bai said that the stewed demon girl is not illegal, and throughout every article of the Chinese law, no relevant legal provisions can be found.

If there is no law, where does the law come from?

In other words, there is nothing forbidden by the law, although it is safe to do it boldly.

There was a pot of hot tea, two glasses, a few small snacks, melon seeds and pistachios on the folding table, and the old and the young were not in a hurry to return to the tent to rest, but there was a word of nonsense under the light, waiting for the haunting nearby.

The night may be peaceful, or it may be lively.
