When the workers are not working, they stay in the deserted village. There are acres of thin fields on the mountains, where some watermelons are grown. On midsummer nights, the workers often go to guard the watermelons with Hua Gu. However, Hua Gu was reluctant to follow Xiao Gong, saying that if he met a bad person, he would not be able to protect himself. However, Han Er was still safer. Unfortunately, Han Er was not willing to speak, so she gave people a sense of depression. Enough to be unpleasant.
However, after being begged by Xiao Gong, Hua Gu finally followed Xiao Gong up the mountain. The air on the mountain was quite cool at night, and the wind was blowing quietly and gently, even carrying a wisp of rice. The scent of flowers. The boy stayed on the mountain, sitting in the melon shed, eating watermelon and talking to the flower girl. The watermelon grown by the boy was extremely delicious. When he took a first bite, it was even more delicious than honey. sweet.
At this time, the deserted village is completely peaceful. The barking of dogs in the distance and the chirping of insects nearby echo each other. It sounds like husbands singing and women following each other. It is like the sound of nature. Listening to it makes people extremely comfortable, and the worries and boredom of the world are gone. Things can be said to have completely dissipated at this point and are no longer so torturous. In the pergola, under the hazy moonlight, the boy was talking to Flower Girl about love. These words were quite ugly, and when Flower Girl heard them, even an old woman would blush with embarrassment.
At this time, Xiaogong saw someone coming not far away. There was no light for a while, only a faint moonlight, but there was no moonlight at this point. Could it be that someone came here to pick his own melons to eat?
A small worker only has so much property in his life. How can he be willing to let someone take it away without any reason at this time? If he gives this watermelon to someone else, then why don't he go drink the northwest wind? The young worker then walked out of the melon shed, carrying a hatchet on his back. If any lawbreakers were discovered and an argument broke out, a fight would probably begin. Therefore, a knife was indispensable.
At this time, the night was already quite dark. People from far and near deserted villages were getting into their houses one after another. Because of the presence of jackals, they did not dare to go out at this time. Otherwise, their lives would most likely be in danger. Especially on the mountain, at this time, nothing can be smelled. Only a few insects can't stop chirping, seeming to be hysterically calling the little worker, he must escape from here quickly, otherwise, what will be the consequences? I'm afraid it's unimaginable.

However, there was a sound of footsteps, and someone even sounded a gong to clear the way, just like the sound of a gong played by an old person in a mountain village before a funeral. It was quite miserable, and I couldn't bear to hear it suddenly, but I was also afraid that a group of thieves would steal my watermelons, and if I didn't guard it for a while, it would be impossible.
Although he heard the sound of gongs at this time, he heard no human words and was not afraid for a moment, because he had a knife in his hand, and he could fight against no matter how many robbers there were. But after staying at the edge of my field for a long time, and no one came over, I didn’t want to stay there anymore. Maybe I heard it wrong. I felt a little thirsty at this time, so I climbed into the melon shed and wanted to slice the watermelon. Eat eat.
When I entered the melon shed, I didn't know why. Hua Gu was originally lying on the bamboo couch, but she was already gone. Was she thinking of Han Er, so she slipped away quietly when she wasn't paying attention? At this time, I was a little scared to be alone on this mountain. According to legend, unclean things often appeared on this mountain, and I was alone at this time. What would I do if I encountered such a thing?
For a while, because there was no Hua Guzhi to accompany me, I could only hide in the shed and not go out. Otherwise, I would be really scared. There was a lamp burning in the shed, but when the wind blew, the lamp was extinguished. I was not in the mood to continue lighting the lamp for a while. I could only sit in the dark, otherwise what else could I do?
At this time, it suddenly started to rain. Although it was not heavy, it was enough to make people slip on the road. Therefore, you need to be extra careful when walking, otherwise, you may break your bones or something. The sad sound of rain kept falling in my ears, which was unbearable. I felt extremely depressed for a moment. I had known it would rain and Hua Gu would sneak away, so I wouldn't have come to this damn mountain. It’s over.
At this time, the boy lit a lamp in the melon shed, but the light only flickered for a moment, and then went out without any wind. For a while, it seemed darker than before lighting the lamp. At this moment, there was another gong sound outside, and an unknown number of robbers rushed over. As a melon keeper, if he didn't go out to take a look, the loss would be insignificant to himself.
There was no moonlight, because it had rained, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. Even though the wind was blowing constantly, the clouds had not been blown away. At this time, I really saw a lot of people passing by my melon field. They must have come to steal my watermelons. I wanted to yell, but seeing so many people, it was inconvenient to say anything.
It's raining constantly. As a melon keeper, you don't have to worry about the watermelon being stolen at this time, because no one will steal the watermelon on a rainy day. But it was strange. The group of people walked into his melon field and seemed to want to steal his watermelons. This made the worker extremely angry and very scared. At a rough look, the group of people was about ten or twenty people. There was only one person, and he was temporarily defeated, so he did not dare to say anything.
Seeing so many people at this time, if I go out to fight with them, I will only die, so I have to stay quietly in my melon shed. Although I am a little scared, as long as I keep silent, It should be fine. Ever since Hua Gu left him, he was quite afraid of ghosts, but now it's better. With so many people as his company, he is no longer afraid of ghosts and gods.
The young worker lay on his melon shed and looked out. Naturally, the knife did not leave his hand. However, due to the large number of people, he could not draw the knife. Otherwise, he might suffer immeasurable losses or even die. At this time, he threw the knife not far away, and he didn't want it anymore. And for people who don't have a knife, no matter how ruthless this group of robbers is, they probably won't kill them, right?
However, although the young worker saw this group of thieves stepping into his melon field, he originally thought that he just wanted to pick a few watermelons to quench his thirst. However, it seems that this group of thieves did not care about drinking, because they were not interested in the watermelons lying in his field. Not interested. The leader sounded the gong again at this time. The sound of the gong was very sad, which was strange. After sounding the gong for a while, the sky seemed to have more and thicker clouds.
The sky became extremely gloomy and the rain became heavier and heavier. Maybe it's raining too hard. Do these people want to come in and take shelter?
At this time, Xiaogong thought of Han'er, but Han'er was nothing more than that. Even if he was by his side, he might not be of much use when facing this group of thieves. The little worker can only hide, otherwise, what else can he do?
It was raining outside, but the thieves walked straight from their melon field to their melon shed. Maybe it was because the rain was too heavy, so they wanted to come in and take a rest, and wait for the rain to pass before going on their way. Fortunately, this group of thieves did not steal my watermelon. They might be some criminal thieves. Otherwise, why would they not be tempted at all when faced with their own watermelon? Do they think their watermelon is not good enough?
Taking advantage of Han'er's skills as a three-legged cat, the young worker initially wanted to fight against this group of people, or at least vent his anger by scolding his mother. However, after hearing that Han'er had been humiliated on the crotch in Luzhen, he did not dare to do anything for a moment. times. Otherwise, with the temper of a small worker, he would not be able to fight this group of thieves for three hundred rounds at this time?
However, because Han Erzhi was so cowardly, he had completely embarrassed the people in the deserted village. If he wanted to rely on him for a moment, it would be better to rely on his own kneecaps. The boy didn't dare to go out, and there was a thunder in the sky. The boy had always been sharp-eyed, so he looked at these people. Except for the leader, all of them had a talisman hanging in front of them. Their expressions were dull and lifeless. Who is he?
The young worker was always ignorant, and he didn't know for a moment that these were people driving away corpses. The people in front of him were living people, and those behind him were all dead. At this time, I passed the melon shed of Xiaogong. It happened to rain. The road was muddy and difficult to walk. I saw a small shed in the melon field, so I came over to hide from the rain. When the rain stopped, I couldn't walk anymore. Late.
Seeing so many people entering his melon shed, the worker originally wanted to go out, but it was raining outside, so it was not good to go out. If he got wet, someone might die. In previous years, didn't Uncle Chen die just after being caught in the rain?
At this time, Xiaogong had no choice but to get under the bamboo couch. Otherwise, it would not be a problem to compete with so many people by himself, so he would have to hide under the bamboo couch. At this time, I felt that someone was lying on the bamboo couch, and soon he gradually fell asleep amidst the sound of rain outside, and you could still hear the whirring sound.
The other dead people were standing, standing upright, and the worker could even smell the smell of the feet of the standing people. I don't know why this foot stood motionless in front of me, and I could stand without getting tired no matter how long I stood. For a moment, the young worker didn't know who this person was.
As time passed, the young worker saw this person standing in front of him, only ten centimeters away. For a moment, he seemed to be wearing no shoes or socks. The weather was a bit cold. Wasn't that person cold? Then he touched it with his hands, but felt that the man's feet were completely cold and there was no pulse. He knew for a moment that it was just a corpse.
At this time, the boy stayed under the bed and wanted to run out, but it was raining so heavily outside. If he really wanted to go out, it would be a bit inappropriate. But no matter what, I can no longer stay in my melon shed.
The worker then slipped out quietly, opened the door gently, and closed it gently after leaving. Regardless of the heavy rain, he ran towards his house with all his strength. . However, after running less than ten meters, because he was too panicked, he even fell and broke his leg.
However, the little worker still kept crawling forward, never daring to stay in his melon shed anymore. At this time, the whole mountain was quiet. At this moment, Hua Gu's voice was heard, and with the help of Hua Gu and Han Erzhi, they returned to Hua Gu's house.
