I made up a reason and said: "I was leaving two days ago. I stayed a few more days to wait for a friend in the village. We will leave immediately when the friend arrives."
It was already late at night when I walked out of the hut. I turned on my phone and it showed a missed call.
"Brother Yu, are you back?"
"Yes, Yunfeng. I rushed back immediately after receiving your notice. Dou Sprout just said that you didn't answer the phone. Where are you?"
Looking at the dark country roads around me, I was afraid that while I was walking, Grandma Xiao Tang would appear behind me and beat me to death with a hoe.
After all, I now know her secret.
"Brother Yu, you just happened to be back. Come pick me up. I'll wait for you at the small pond at the north end of the village."
"oh?"
"Haha, Yunfeng, why, you are still a big girl, why do you need someone to pick you up when you walk at night?" Brother Yu said with a smile on the phone.
"I can't explain it at this moment. Brother Yu, please come quickly. I'll wait for you."
"Okay, just wait for me for a while, I'll change my clothes and go over."
After looking around, I walked to the edge of the pond and found an open place to squat down.
The moon was bright and dark that night, and the water surface of the pond was calm and sparkling. I stared at the water surface for a while. When I thought about the black hole under the water that led to the underground river, I always felt that there were a pair of eyes under the water watching me.
, feeling very uncomfortable.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, a flashlight lit up on the path in the distance, and a tall figure got closer and closer.
"Brother Yu!"
"You're finally back," I trotted towards him.
Brother Yu patted me, laughed and said, "Let's go, Miss Xiang."
"Miss Xiang??"
Brother Yu didn't understand the situation and was mocking me for being timid... I made a grimace and didn't want to explain, so I'd better go back and talk about it later.
"Brother Yu, let me send you a letter. I received a reply before. Do you know who sent it?"
Brother Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just sent the letter to the address given by the boss, and then stayed in the hotel for two days. I received your message in the afternoon and rushed back."
"Do you remember the address?" I asked.
"It's a place called Douzhuang Village in Yucheng." Brother Yu said.
Douzhuang? I have never heard of this place.
When we walked to the canteen together, Brother Yu patted me and pointed ahead: "Isn't that Grandma Xiao Tang? Why are you sitting there so late at night?"
The canteen had already turned off the lights and closed. There was a tattered children's rocker at the door. I looked in the direction of Brother Yu's finger and saw Grandma Xiao Tang sitting on the rocker and staring at us. The hoe was swinging.
at her feet.
I swallowed and whispered, "Be careful Brother Yu, you don't know, this old lady has just come back from digging a grave, you see there is still dirt on her feet, she has killed someone before."
After listening to my words, Brother Yu looked at the old lady sitting on the rickshaw, frowned and said, "It's okay, come with me."
I followed Brother Yu and walked forward.
Brother Yu stared at the old lady without blinking.
"Young man..."
As I walked past, I heard Little Grandma Tang say from behind: "Come to my house at seven o'clock tomorrow night, and I will make you tea."
I pretended not to hear.
Only a ghost would go to your house to drink oil tea.
The old lady's hoarse voice continued: "Come on, let's talk, it will be good for you. Don't you want to know the secret of Guizailing?"
The secret of Guizailing...
I stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you know something?"
Under the moonlight, Grandma Tang was sitting on the rocking car with her back to me.
She said: "As a temple girl, I always know something. I just wanted to scare you before, and I never thought about harming you. My granddaughter also regards you as her brother. She doesn't know what I do, and she doesn't know what I am doing."
Never know."
"You keep it a secret for me and we make an exchange."
