Yuanbao led me all the way across other people's roofs to the west end of the village.
"Shh."
"Keep your voice down and get down quickly."
He pursed his lips and said, "It's that group of people, did you see them?" .??.
I lay on the eaves and looked down.
A total of four men came from the chieftain's descendants, two of them carrying hoes.
Among them, there was an elderly man holding a strange goat in his hand. The old man wore a square-brimmed cloth hat on his head. He was short and his face was covered with wrinkles and age spots.
They were talking, but because of the distance, I couldn't hear them clearly.
Can't hear it, but I can see it.
Why blame the goat?
Because this is a deformed goat!
Aren't the horns of normal goats always grown upward?
But this goat's horns grow downwards. It is obvious that it may have affected the sight.
In addition, there is a rag doll hanging around the goat's neck. The doll cannot distinguish between male and female, but it looks very shabby in appearance.
Yuan Bao said in a low voice: "Did you see that? That old man is the chieftain wizard. I heard that the strange goat called "Sheep Trouble" can find dead people."
At this time, villagers came over one after another to inquire. Seeing that there were more and more people, I patted Yuanbao and said, "Go down, you can't hear anything here."
Climbing down the ladder of this house, an old lady in the yard was washing clothes. Suddenly she saw someone coming down the ladder of her house. The old lady was stunned.
I nodded slightly in greeting, then opened the door and went out.
"Master, we have never seen the cowherd. It's a waste of time for you to ask us. If it doesn't work, just call the police and report a missing person."
Some villagers echoed: "That's right, just report him missing."
This male wizard named "La Jin" looks older than his head. Mr. Li said that they fled famine in Henan in 1942. After so many years, they can naturally speak the local dialect.
When this old wizard looks at people, his eyeballs give people a It feels very turbid and whitish. I wonder if I have cataracts.
His voice was deep and deep, and he said, "The sheep took me to this village. It sensed that Apo might be gone and someone had harmed Apo."
We felt guilty as thieves, and the "Apo" he mentioned was the person we buried.
I heard one villager reply: "Hey, you said it was weird, but did you, the sheep, tell you who harmed the younger generation in your family?"
The old man's white and cloudy eyes scanned the crowd one by one.
Yuanbao and I were mixed in the crowd, with expressionless faces.
The old man's eyes passed over me. He slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is."
"Laye, don't tell them. No matter whether you are dead or alive, you must find Apo. Let's start now."
The old wizard nodded. He took out a stick of earthen incense from his arms and lit it. Then he put the incense head down and inserted it into the "god doll" tied around the sheep's neck.
Tuxiang rushed down towards the ground.
The white smoke drifted away. From a distance, it looked like the sheep was on fire and smoking. I looked at it and felt it was a bit strange.
Then, the old wizard asked for two more things from another person.
A brand new straw sandal and a hand-cranked iron bell.
He put the straw sandal on his head with one hand and shouted loudly: "Apo! Apo! We are coming for you! If you hear it, lead the way!"
After reciting, ring the bell.
The old wizard was shaking all over, his eyelids were twitching, and he seemed to have entered a state of ecstasy as if there was no one around.
When the deformed goat heard the bell, its ears suddenly stood up like a dog!
The onlookers were talking quietly, and I heard someone ask, "Does that straw sandal belong to the missing person?"
Another replied: "Who knows? But
This posture looks quite scary, as if he is possessed by a ghost."
"Clang!"
With the sound of the bell, the goat suddenly turned around and started walking. I thought that direction seemed to be the direction of the entrance to Mang Mountain.
"Come on, follow me. I won't sleep tonight. Are you going?"
"Go, let's go."
In the end, nearly twenty people followed the sheep, and Yuanbao and I were walking in the middle.
Out of the village.
I’m sure, I’m going to Mang Mountain!
At this time, Yuan Bao's calves began to tremble, and he said with fear in his eyes: "It's over, we're done, brother, did you notice when I came here just now that the rag doll's head moved and it looked at me just now."
I didn't know what was going on, so I frowned and said, "Don't follow me anymore. Go back quickly. To be on the safe side, let the leader and the others leave overnight."
"And you?"
I whispered: "I'll go over and have a look. Damn it, I don't believe it. If he really had such an amazing ability, there wouldn't be any missing people that day."
Yuan Bao nodded, turned around and went back quietly.
It took several hours to walk, and half of the people on the way quit the group and stopped following because the road was too far.
The old wizard wore straw sandals on his head the whole way. When he saw that the incense was almost burned out on the way, he would ask someone to replace it with a new one.
It's definitely a psychological effect.
Amid the curls of cigarette smoke, for a moment, I suddenly saw that there seemed to be a transparent person walking, or leading the way, in front of the sheep.
Using a flashlight, I started walking before 11 o'clock, and walked until 3:30 in the middle of the night, when I arrived at Huangtugou.
The river is particularly quiet in the middle of the night, but you can vaguely hear the rushing sound of the waterfall ahead.
My calves also started to feel weak, which was really scary.
I thought: "Is it really that person's ghost that is leading the way? Does that person's ghost live in the rag doll?"
"Baa. baa.!" It was very quiet along the way, but when we got here, the sheep suddenly started barking and running in circles. I didn't know what they were doing.
Seeing this, the old wizard pulled the puppet off the sheep's neck and tied the straw sandal around the sheep's neck.
Then, the sheep began to walk forward along the river.
My face is getting paler.
getting closer, getting closer
Finally, we arrived at the place where we camped that day.
"Mea."
The sheep brayed and lay down immediately, refusing to leave.
I saw that the piece of land where it lay was directly above the robber's cave!
My face turned pale! I was so scared that I didn’t dare to say a word!
How on earth did you find this!
What principle!
"Laye, is this here? Apo is buried underneath?"
The old wizard looked a little painful, nodded with his eyes closed, and said, "dig down."
When the two men heard this, they spat in their hands, picked up their hoes and started digging into the soil!
Go down hard with the hoe! A big chunk of soil will come up!
There were about ten people watching at the scene. I couldn't run away at this time. If I ran away now, wouldn't it be a guilty conscience? I would definitely be suspected.
Therefore, I can only bite the bullet and watch it, and at the same time I keep saying in my heart: "What to do, what to do, what to do, come up with a solution quickly."
"Hey? La Ye, the soil is so loose? Was this originally a hole?"
The old wizard shook his head: "Don't worry about the hole, speed up."
At this time someone asked me: "Young man, are you hot? Are you sweating so much?"
"No, it's okay. I'm just sweating from climbing the mountain. I'm a little weak, haha."
"Is the missing person you said really down there? Can he be found?"
