Seeing the one-eyed old man suddenly going crazy, Hua Muling took my arm and whispered, "Let's go!"
I originally had many things to ask this one-eyed old man, but seeing that he had turned into such a crazy person, I had no choice but to give up. He let out a long sigh, and then followed Hua Muling as he trotted back to the car.
Xiong Ming had been waiting for the two of us in the car. Seeing that it took us a long time to come back, Xiong Ming asked a little impatiently while chewing the buns: "What did you two do to this old man? Why are you such a good old man doing this all this time?" crazy?"
I sighed and said, "Okay, stop talking, there's a lawsuit on my head!"
Xiong Ming asked in surprise: "Good guy, what's going on? Did the old man not tell you where Biluo Village is? Or did you insult his old lady? You have to explain! Where should we go next? ? Should we drive forward or turn around and go back?"
I sighed and said, "Turn around and go back the way we came."
Xiong Ming asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Is this the time to give up?"
I frowned and said, "Hey! The child has no mother, it's a long story!"
Xiong Ming hit me with his elbow while driving, and said, "Come on, come on, Hu Tian, tell me what's going on?"
I lit a cigarette helplessly, and then told Xiong Ming exactly what happened just now. As a result, this guy's reaction was even bigger than mine, "I'll go! How is this possible? There are no barbarians in Biluo Village." Our old house? Grandma's! What is going on? Let me tell you two, there is only one truth. There must be someone lying here, either the one-eyed old guy is making it up, or Mr. Xu is lying to us again, Or maybe your old man didn’t tell the truth to Mr. Xu back then, so that’s why we’re in this situation now.”
I smiled bitterly and said: "What are you kidding about, are you going to transform into Kudo Shinichi? There is only one truth. But, having said that, I will definitely go to Biluo Village. Even if I don't go now, I will wait for the matter before me. Even though it’s settled, I still have to go there, I always feel that that place is not simple.”
"I think so too!" Hua Muling, who had been sitting in the back seat before, suddenly said: "And I don't think the one-eyed old man is lying to us. He really doesn't want us to go to that place."
Xiong Ming listened to Hua Muling's words and said with excitement: "Let me tell you, the more the one-eyed old man doesn't want us to go, what does that mean? It means the more problems there are in that place. If there are problems, we have to go, go The problem can be solved only by doing it, right? Hey, do you think this is the truth?"
Hua Muling continued in a deep voice: "Dali Xiong, what you said is right. Although we are not 100% sure that the Sifang Seal is in Biluo Village, at least where are all the directions pointing to now. I think our first priority is to solve the problem. The only problem is to find Biluo Village and find out. Hu Tian, what do you think?"
I said in a deep voice: "To be honest with you two, I am now as big as two heads. Please let me think about the matter in Biluo Village! Dali Bear, please go back first! What's the matter? Let’s talk after we get back to Yiyuanzhai!” After saying that, I sat in the passenger seat and stopped talking.
Perhaps God also felt my depression. At this time, the originally cloudless sky began to gradually darken, and large clouds continued to gather above our heads. Within a few minutes, the entire sky It got dark, and it was about ten o'clock in the morning, and now it seemed like seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
While those clouds cover the sun, they also suppress people's hearts to the extreme.
I slowly lowered the car glass a little, letting the outside wind blow into the car, hoping to relieve the suppressed emotions in my heart.
I took out a cigarette from my coat pocket, but just when I was about to light it, Xiong Ming, who was driving, suddenly interrupted me. The boy said in a rare low voice: "You two, we are in trouble."
I put down the cigarette in my hand and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Xiong Ming pointed to the road ahead with his chin and said, "We are lost."
"What? Lost? Why did you suddenly get lost?" Hua Muling and I shouted these words almost at the same time.
Xiong Ming looked at me seriously, then at Hua Muling, and then said with certainty: "Yes! We are lost. To put it more appropriately, we met a ghost hitting the wall."
I asked in surprise: "A ghost beating a wall? Meeting a ghost beating a wall in broad daylight?"
Xiong Ming parked the car next to a big tree on the roadside, and then said to me: "Grandma, although it is ten o'clock in the morning, look at the difference from night! And Hu Tian, look at it Does this place look familiar?"
I looked in the direction of Xiong Ming's finger, and sure enough, wasn't the place we were stopping at the same two shabby tile-roofed houses where we met the one-eyed old man just now?
However, at this time, the one-eyed old man who looked like he was crazy had long disappeared, leaving only the pile of smoking ashes.
Hua Muling looked at the two shabby tile-roofed houses and said in a deep voice, "There is indeed something weird about this place."
Xiong Ming also said: "Hu Tian, what should we do now?"
I thought for a while and then said: "Dali Bear, try to drive forward again. Maybe we accidentally took the wrong turn just now, so we went back. It's not necessarily a ghost hitting the wall in broad daylight!"
Xiong Ming hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Well! Then you two sit tight."
After saying that, Xiong Ming kicked the oil truck and ran out.
Xiong Ming didn’t drive very fast this time. He was afraid that he would miss any turn in the road. But even so, after driving for nearly thirty minutes, we returned to the same place one by one.
"Grandma! What the hell is going on? Why did you come back again?" Xiong Ming cursed.
But just before Xiong Ming finished speaking, Hua Muling suddenly shouted: "What do you think that is?"
As he said that, Hua Muling pointed to a tree as thick as two people not far from us.
Xiong Ming and I looked in the direction of her finger and saw a black shadow suddenly flashing across the place, running towards the grass.
"Chase!"
Xiong Ming and I jumped out of the car instinctively and ran wildly in the direction of the black shadow.
The black shadow didn't run too fast, but it was extremely flexible and seemed to be very familiar with this place. Whenever Xiong Ming and I were only five or six meters away from him, he would suddenly turn around and face the other side. Run.
The two chased each other like a cat chasing a mouse for about twenty or thirty minutes. The black figure suddenly ducked into a pile of weeds. Xiong Ming and I could no longer find that guy. Shadow.
"Have you seen clearly what that thing is?" I held on to a tree and gasped, "Grandma, I haven't run like this for a long time. I'm exhausted!"
Xiong Ming also held his knees with both hands and panted heavily. After a while, he said: "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore! If this was the case when the two of us were soldiers, let alone such a small distance. , I can run ten times more than this and still not be as tired as I am now."
I smiled bitterly and said: "A good man never mentions his bravery! Hey, let me ask you! Did you see what that thing is?"
Xiong Ming frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "I feel that the black image just now is a child. However, whether it is a boy or a girl, I can't see clearly."
I said in surprise: "What? A child? Let me go, whose child is this? Why are you here?"
Xiong Ming scolded: "Just tell me where it is! Who the hell is this naughty kid who can run away so much! He almost tired Master Xiong! Oh, by the way, why didn't the four girls from the Hua family follow? ?”
Hearing what Xiong Ming said, I remembered that Xiong Ming and I were so focused on chasing the child just now that we forgot about Hua Muling in the back seat of the car.
At this time, I looked around, and there were only weeds around me. There was no trace of Hua Muling anywhere.
But just as I was looking around for Hua Muling, Xiong Ming suddenly said, "Hu Tian, listen, what is that sound?"
When I heard what Xiong Ming said, I raised my ears and listened carefully to the sounds around me. At this time, the surrounding wind had begun to get stronger and stronger, rustling the weeds and leaves. However, in this noisy environment, I could still clearly hear the "swishing" sounds.
I said in surprise: "Is it the sound of water?"
Xiong Ming nodded and said, "Yes!"
I was even more surprised and said: "Why is there a river in this place?"
And before I could finish speaking, a piercing scream suddenly came from the direction of the river.
Screams, women's screams.
The sound was extremely shrill, as if something extremely terrifying had happened.
"Hua Muling!" I screamed in my heart. Immediately, he ran towards the place where the sound came from without stopping.
Fortunately, the place was not too far away from the two of us. Within a few minutes, the two of us ran to Hua Muling's side.
At this time, Hua Muling was seen falling in an open space outside the weeds. A river more than six meters wide flowed not far from her. The river was very fast, and it slapped the rocks on the shore from time to time, making a "papa" sound. sound.
Not far from the river, there is an old locust tree surrounded by four people. A few meters behind the tree is a wooden archway held up by two bamboo poles. On the archway are written three big characters, "Biluo Village".
"What? This is Biluo Village?" Xiong Ming couldn't help shouting after seeing the words on the wooden archway.
And I was so surprised that I could hardly speak. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared not far behind the wooden archway.
This figure is extremely defensive and always hides himself in the shadows. No matter how hard I try, I still can't see his face clearly. I can only vaguely tell that this guy is an eight or nine-year-old child.
I saw that the child first pointed at Hua Muling lying on the ground, and then stretched out his index finger and lightly scratched his neck.
Xiong Ming and I naturally recognize this gesture. It was a very popular and cruel "throat cutting ceremony" among the indigenous people a long time ago.
Xiong Ming gritted his teeth and asked, "What does this little bastard want to do?" After saying that, he was about to rush over, but I grabbed him.
Xiong Ming looked at me and asked loudly: "Hu Tian, why are you stopping me?"
I glanced at Xiong Ming, and then said slowly: "The little... heart... is... deceitful..."
The child didn't move when he saw us, obviously a little surprised.
However, he was considered calm, and he slowly and calmly raised his hand, then with his palm facing up, four fingers together, he raised it inward. It was obvious that he was asking us to go find him.
