Li Wannian still looked panicked when he said this, as if he remembered something that scared him again.
I asked him what could have happened that could scare them like this? Could it be that they really saw a ghost?
Li Wannian took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. He took out a pack of high-end cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and lit it, then took a few deep puffs and finally calmed down a lot.
He looked like he was in a state of shock just now, his eyes wandering and always looking out, as if he was looking to see if anything was coming!
I don’t know why, but when I saw him like that, I also glanced outside the house a few times for no reason. It felt like something was peeking into the house through the window!
This thought came out of my heart, and I couldn't help shivering all over, my hands and feet were cold, and I was sweating!
This is too scary!
Li Wannian spoke to me in a low voice, with a cautious expression on his face, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
He said that the few people who escaped from the mine all said that there was something green and green floating around inside, which looked very much like a will-o'-the-wisp that appeared on the road at night!
He also said that as soon as the group of people saw them entering the mine, they immediately came over to them, and a gloomy coldness spread through their bodies, making them shiver from the cold.
They were so frightened that they didn't even dare to stay. They didn't care about looking at the ore, so they turned around and fled.
As they ran, the group of things also ran behind them, and they could hear low roars, as if they were going to knock them down and tear them apart.
The few people were so frightened that they didn't dare to look back, and even ran towards death. Fortunately, they finally escaped with no luck. The group of people who didn't know what they were might have been afraid, so they didn't follow.
At this point, Li Wannian begged me in a low voice: "Xiao Baizi, you must help Uncle Li this time. Uncle Li's whole family is counting on you!"
"Come on, don't scare me, Uncle Li. How can it be so serious?"
"What, you still don't believe it? Despite my reputation, I actually don't have much money anymore. I lost a lot of money last time when something happened, and this time I lost three lives! Alas, now I'm counting on this one
The goods have been shipped. Please help uncle to see what is in the mine. As long as you help uncle solve this matter, you can ask for anything you want. You can eat, drink, use, and play.
, Uncle will satisfy you with everything!”
"I don't want anything. I haven't finished a lot of winter vacation homework yet, and school is about to start in just a few days. How can I deal with this!"
"Hey, what else do I care about? It's easy to talk to. Isn't your class teacher Liu Mei? I'm very familiar with her. She still owes me a famine. I'll talk to her later, so she won't dare to trouble you.
!”
"Really? That's great, I'll go with you!"
I did hear that Li Wannian and my class teacher Liu Mei have a "good" relationship! Some classmates even said in the class that they saw them kissing while hiding in the empty room next door! If he was willing to come forward to intercede for me, I wouldn't have to work hard haha
I crammed in my homework. It’s not that I hate studying, maybe it’s just that I wasn’t born to study! If my father hadn’t always whipped me with a stick, I would have stopped going to that crappy school!
When Li Wannian heard that I agreed, his face looked much better and he urged me to follow him quickly.
I simply packed up my things, put all the gadgets I thought I could use into my small backpack, and followed Li Wannian out.
There is a big jeep parked at the door. I don't know its name specifically, but it looks quite valuable anyway.
Li Wannian opened the door and let me get in, then started the car and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The jeep made a huge roar and sped out.
The dirt road in the village was full of potholes, but Li Wannian didn't slow down at all and increased the accelerator to drive into the mine.
I was so frightened that I held on to the armrest tightly and dared not let go, for fear that he would throw her out and fall to her death! After all, the pregnant woman in the old Wang family died in the car he drove, and this has always been a shadow in my heart.
The jeep bumped along for about half an hour, and finally turned into a ditch in the mountains.
"Sit tight, Xiaobaizi, this road is steep, hold on tight!" Li Wannian warned me, and continued to step on the accelerator and rush up the mountain.
I muttered in my heart, why did you let me hold on tight? Which of your eyes saw me? You let go of me along the way! You can scare me to death even if you fall to death in your car!
The jeep drove straight up the mountain. I held on tightly, my body moved up with the car, and I lay directly on the backrest. It seemed that the road was tilted at least 45 degrees.
With a violent roar, the car finally became stable after a period of shaking, and finally stopped in an open space.
Li Wannian didn't seem to want to waste a moment, so he quickly opened the door and got out of the car, and hugged me out.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the dizzy feeling finally got better. I tried not to vomit!
I looked around and saw that this gold mine was surrounded by mountains. Only the middle area was flat, like a recess.
How to describe this shape?
Well, it's just like the rice bowl we usually use to serve rice. The difference is that there is an extra sloping road into the mountain. It may have existed naturally before, or it may have been built for mining in the later period.
On the spacious flat land in front of us, there are several shabby iron houses placed near the south. It seems that they are for miners to live in. A group of workers who look like are gathering around a fire. I don’t know what they are burning.
You can smell a choking burnt smell from quite a distance away.
Near the east is a bunch of miscellaneous large machines, probably used for sorting ore and refining gold. I can't quite understand them. The west is where we came up just now, and the north is probably the mine.
I saw that the mountains to the north were densely covered with many dark holes, like big grinning mouths, waiting for me to get in...
Although I have known about this gold mine in the mountains since I was a child, I have never been there. People in the village said that the mine was dug by the little devils, who killed many people, and then filled it into the abandoned cave.
.It’s scary to say it has a nose and eyes!
Li Wannian followed me, rubbing his hands anxiously, looking like he wished I could get in now and see what was going on inside.
I'm not familiar with the mines here, and these two eyes are so dark, I can't let me get mad, so just rush in!
I told Li Wannian to find two workers who were familiar with the conditions inside the mine to guide me. I couldn’t let me go in by myself!
Li Wannian hesitated for a while, then regained his composure, nodded at me, and said with a wry smile, this is what he should do. He was so anxious that he forgot about it.
Then he led me to the pile of workers holding fires, pointed at them and said to me: "Xiao Baizi, these people are old masters who are familiar with the mines. You can choose whoever you want. No matter what, I won't let you go in and risk this."
Take a risk!"
The group of people in front of me are obviously not from our village, and they don’t even know anyone!
When they heard what Li Wannian said, they all understood that Li Wannian wanted them to go down into the mine where the accident happened. Each of these people had their heads drooped and were about to get into their crotches. It was obvious that they didn't want to go in.
It’s not their fault. After all, they all know that there are evil things going on in the mines. As long as they are not fools, no one is willing to volunteer to go in!
I looked at them and felt worried, who should I choose? Looking at their attitude, if I chose someone, they would have to stand up and fight to the death with me!
I didn't say anything at all, and glanced at Li Wannian and spread his hands, meaning that he could choose whatever he wanted, and I didn't care.
What a joke, we just let them lead the way, we don't let them go in to fight, so who else can we choose? Anyone who is willing will be treated as a favor!
Those people ignored us and just kept their heads down, pulling on the fire. I looked carefully for a while and finally saw what they were burning!
It turned out to be a pile of skin!
It looks like there are several large snake skins, as well as fox skins, rabbit skins, squirrel skins, and some other random things!
I was confused and asked them why they were burning these things properly!
At first, none of them said a word, probably because they were afraid that I would find them in the mines. Unable to resist, I even tried to scare them, telling them that all things had spirits and that killing these animals would be a sin. I also cruelly burned their skins, just in case something happened.
Their dead souls are attached to the skin, and it will be a disaster if it is burned. You must take revenge on them!
Maybe it was a coincidence that a ball of sparks exploded in the fire at this moment, with a "boom" sound, and then a "sizzle" sound, like something moaning in pain...
Those few people could no longer hold their nerve and backed away in fear, trembling and saying that they were not to blame. These animal skins were obtained by the three brothers of the Kou family. They said that the three brothers often hunted game and stewed the meat, leaving the fur behind.
Come down and save money to sell.
The three of them were killed by cannons, so I thought of burning these things to them so that they would not have to worry about coming back to look for them, and would not come back to harm others!
Haha, I almost burst out laughing when I heard this. These three brothers were not very good when they were alive, and they were guarded by others even when they were dead. Alas, no one can live like them...
Li Wannian looked at them, no one was planning to go down to the mine, and he was chattering in sorrow. After thinking about it again, he slapped his thigh hard, gritted his teeth and told these people that they were willing to accompany me down to the mine until the matter was settled.
Son, you can get 30% of this shipment!
It just so happened that the three brothers of the Kou family also died, so we gave 30% of their ore to those who were willing to go into the mine!
As soon as these words came out, the group of people were stunned, and then went crazy. They all volunteered to come forward, vying to accompany me down the mine.
They say money can make a devil turn a millstone, but this man is also good at it, he can pick up a millstone and run!
I looked at this group of people and told them calmly, I only need two people, and more people will get in the way. If something happens underground, I can't take care of so many people, and they will delay me.
leg!
As soon as I said this, the group of people started to quarrel even more fiercely. They almost stopped working, and everyone was so angry that they were so angry!
These people are really useless!
Li Wannian did not expect this situation, and he was very busy for a while. Finally, he decided on two people, both of whom were relatively strong and strong young men.
After Li Wannian asked them to accompany me into the mine, they should take more care of me. If anything happens to me, they won't be able to share the ore!
When I heard Li Wannian say these words, I felt warm in my heart. No matter what his character was, these words were still quite heartwarming.
The two young men were as strong as calves and had lumps all over their bodies. It looked like they had been trained by doing heavy work all year round.
One of them is Yang Dazhuang and the other is Liu Peng.
The three of us were talking as we walked towards the mine where the accident occurred.
I felt very uneasy at the moment, wondering what kind of evil things were going on in the mine where this happened!
