The sky gradually grew brighter, making everything around me clearly visible. Da Mao woke up after applying the dressing. I helped him sit against the wall. The silly girl who hadn't slept all night, after eating the candy, lay on the spot and fell asleep. The men I tied behind their backs were already frightened to the point of collapse after witnessing the female ghost killing someone. At this moment, I'm afraid I could frighten a few of them to death if I just took something out of my bag and waved it in front of them.
Although Da Mao seemed to be in bad spirits, his mood was much more stable. After Jiama Tan left, I asked Da Mao, what should we do now? Da Mao said, I am fine here now, there is no danger. Although I was seriously injured, my skills are still there. If someone comes to see what happened here last night, I will captivate their eyes. . You can go to the county town and write an anonymous letter to the public security organ to report it. As for your little boy, it is better for you to make your own decision.
As for me personally, I am actually willing to risk my life, because I know that if he is brought to justice and severely punished, it is estimated that his behavior of inciting and subverting social stability will not be shot to correct the law. I am afraid that I will have to spend the rest of my life within the high wall. At this moment, I have completely calmed down. In a peaceful environment, it is always easy for people to fall into memories. I recall many things that we passed together when we were children.
So I found a rope from the house and tied Di Baotian's hands and feet before he woke up. Then I grabbed the iron scissors that seemed to be welded to Di Baotian's thigh due to blood coagulation. Then slowly start to pull it out. This process was actually similar to the pain Di Baotian suffered when I stabbed him into his thigh, so he soon woke up from the pain and turned around, but maybe it was because of injury or blood loss, and the sound of his shouting could be heard. It looks very hoarse and weak. After struggling for a few times, he found that he was tied up by me, so Di Baotian looked at me blankly and simply stopped struggling.
After pulling out the scissors, blood began to ooze from Di Baotian's leg again. The entire thigh has swollen very high, like an inflated balloon, making the trouser legs bulge. I tore off Di Baotian's trouser legs and exposed his wound. After such a long time, his wound had become infected. So I bandaged him a little, and then asked him, brother, I will give you one last chance. If you can repent, my brother today can give you another chance and let you go. I will A curse is placed on you. If you make the same mistake again in the future, the curse will immediately backfire, causing you to bleed from all seven holes and die suddenly.
I deliberately said it so seriously to tell Di Baotian what the consequences would be, but you still have a chance to start over, be a good person, and be a peaceful citizen. But after Di Baotian heard this, his nostrils suddenly contracted a few times, and then his nose and eyes turned red. He told me in a crying voice, Brother Situ, everything is over. Even if you let me go back today, I will I will still be hunted, and I have come to this point, there is no way out, I can only go to the dark side, live or die, just leave it to fate.
Judging from his tone and tone, Di Baotian actually had doubts in his heart for a long time before today, and even doubted whether his actions were right or wrong, but he always convinced himself with his reasons. It means that he has been deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate himself at all. Instead of changing your mind temporarily, it is better to keep going. This is probably what is called being a good person and being known to everyone, and being a bad person being feared by everyone.
So I tried to persuade him a few more words, and Di Baotian's attitude suddenly became firm. He said that the matter was over, and he did not expect any leniency. If what he did was right, then God would not punish him. But if he is imprisoned or even sentenced to death for this, it means that doing so was wrong from the beginning, and the guilt he suffered is the price of these mistakes.
I am very happy that Bao Tian is much more mature and rational than when we parted ways, but I am sad that when I realized all this, it turned out to be a time when our positions were opposite and we had to decide who was right and wrong.
So I stopped persuading him and dragged the woman's body aside. The appearance of her death was horrific, but people who are scared to death by ghosts are afraid of ghosts, so the possibility of becoming a ghost is actually not high, even if it is true. The situation has changed, and Da Mao also has a way to deal with it. Then I gave water to everyone present, and then I told Da Mao, if there are bad guys who come to watch, you can just find a way to deal with it. Then I patted the dust on my body and headed towards the county seat. .
When I arrived at the gate of the County Public Security Bureau, I picked up pen and paper from a nearby supply and marketing cooperative and wrote an anonymous letter. The content of the report in the anonymous letter did not mention a word about Sanchuan Ghost City. It only mentioned that someone was armed with a gun and that now Someone is dead, where is the address, etc. And at the end of the letter, he mentioned that he hopes to track down the forces behind it, because it is reported to be related to reactionary forces. After I finished writing the letter, I walked to the door of the public security bureau without anyone noticing, pretended to be the one reporting the crime, and placed the letter on the receptionist’s table.
I quickly rushed back to Da Mao. Da Mao said that some nearby villagers did come to check on me while I was away, but they were all blinded by me and saw nothing. I told him that the police would probably come to investigate this place soon, so we should leave now. I stood up and woke up the silly girl who was still sleeping soundly, and then asked, little sister, we are leaving. Are you willing to follow this brother? After saying that, I pointed towards Da Mao. The silly girl fell asleep in a daze. After staring at Da Mao for a long time, she asked, is there still a lot of candy?
I said nothing, lowered my head and sighed, and turned to look at Da Mao. He also had a sad look on his face, but I knew in my heart that at this moment, Da Mao would not be able to leave this girl to fend for herself, given his character. Da Mao forced a smile and said, yes, you can have a lot of candies every day. Do you want to go?
This scene feels a bit like abducting women, but I know that Da Mao's words are actually his own decision. This decision is very cruel and has deep regrets, but since it was Da Mao's own choice, in the future There will be no chance of regret, and everything else needs to be proven with the rest of his life and all his time and dedication.
Before leaving, I said a cherished goodbye to Di Baotian who collapsed on the ground, then supported Da Mao and led the silly girl towards the direction of the county town.
That was also the last time I saw Di Baotian. As for his ending, I actually don’t know, because when I first went to the county to deliver anonymous letters, I noticed a Chinese medicine shop on the street, so I put Da Mao in After entering the drug store, I rushed back to the yard without stopping, and found armed military and police vehicles parked outside, as well as doctors in white from the hospital. So I knew that Di Baotian and this group of people had been taken over by the government, and what would be the consequences for them? , I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.
Da Mao stayed in Pixian County to treat his gunshot wound for more than half a month, so I stayed with him as a matter of course. I would pay attention to his injury every day until the doctor told me that he would be able to withstand it after a few more days of rest. After getting over the bumps of the long-distance bus, Damao and I agreed to set off home in three days. I have been here for almost a month, and a lot of things have happened. Although the original motive that prompted us to investigate has now been successfully resolved, and the bad elements have received corresponding punishments, I always feel that there is something else. The place is less than perfect.
So one day before Damao and I left, I sneaked back to the earth bridge, observed that no one was around, then got into the bamboo forest of Yuanyang Formation, and returned to the Sanchuan Ghost Market again. This time, I wasn’t investigating anything, nor was I sneaking around. Most of the vendors were resting during the day, so I followed the houses on both sides of the long street and set a fire at different places, before the fire got bigger. , I began to pretend that I had discovered a fire, and ran on the street shouting, saying there was a fire, everyone should run away!
Sanchuan Ghost Market is full of abandoned houses that are almost on fire. The vendors who originally set up stalls at night and rested during the day were disturbed by me, so they all fled. Since the nearest water source in this place is only a small river. Small streams are barely sufficient for daily drinking water and cannot be used to put out fires at all. The closest thing to here and with sufficient water source to put out the fire is the river ditch next to the bamboo forest. After going back and forth, it is probably all gone.
In fact, I had already calculated these before setting this fire. So soon, the fire was blazing into the sky. I probably rubbed a handful of black charcoal on my face, as if I was thinking about everyone, and started to incite everyone and said, Masters, the fire is out of control, everyone run away. Bar! So soon a few people gave up putting out the fire and ran away with me. That's how people are, when someone starts to take the lead in doing something, the rest of the people will follow suit.
This was the first time I had set a fire, and I had set it deliberately. Everyone was panicking, but no one was injured. After everyone escaped from the bamboo forest, I saw bursts of smoke rising from the top of the bamboo forest from a distance, which was proof that the fire was still spreading. I found an opportunity and took advantage of the chaos to slip away, because I knew that the fire had attracted the attention of everyone around, including the people who lived near the earth bridge. I didn't need to call the police to put out the fire. Someone would naturally go there.
The Ghost Market of Sanchuan was just like this, burned to the ground by my nameless fire.
