Grandma Jiu had a dark color and was indifferent, with a solemn expression on her old face. She told Chen Zhi and Fat Wei intermittently about her sad events more than ten years ago and her missing son.
Grandma Jiu’s son is called Chunsheng. He is only in his twenties at that time. He is strong and has a bold temperament. He is good at farming and hunting. He is one of the best young men in the village. The villagers like him very much and regard him as their new friend.
A generation of village leaders, Grandma Jiu's whole life was counting on him, but in the summer of that year, something like this happened.
In autumn, there are most wild animals on the mountain, which is a good season for hunting. Chun Sheng took a few hunters to Fengtou Mountain to hunt as usual. This time they went deeper, hoping to catch some big prey and share it with the villagers.
While hiking in the mountains, they accidentally met an injured doe. The doe's blood was almost drained and she was dying. There was an arrow on the injured hind leg. The arrow was shining in the sun.
The shining gold was very conspicuous. Chun Sheng and several others went over to pull out the arrow and took a look. The arrow in the middle was made of pure gold and was studded with gems. It was very bright and brilliant.
Chunsheng and others thought they had found the treasure, so they immediately took it back to the village to show it to the villagers. No one could figure out what it was or where the arrow came from. I heard that there were many people in Chongshan Town.
He was very knowledgeable, so he asked Chun Sheng to take the arrow to the town to find someone to look at.
After seeing the gem arrowhead, the people in the town told Chun Sheng that the arrowhead was an ancient artifact of continuous value. It was inlaid with seven different kinds of gemstones. It was called the Qibao Arrowhead in ancient times and was given to gods by emperors in ancient times.
During sacrifices, these Qibao arrowheads are used to shoot sacrifices. They are very old and very valuable. They asked Chunsheng to take the Qibao arrowheads back quickly and put them away carefully. If he really wanted to sell them, the people in the town would help him find them.
buyer.
So Chunsheng took the Qibao arrowhead back to the village and told Granny Jiu and the villagers what they had said. Everyone was very happy after hearing this, thinking that the villagers would live a good life from now on. They also thought of selling the Qibao arrowhead.
Then they built new houses for everyone, built roads, and sent their children to school. But that night, something unexpected happened.
That night, Chunsheng suddenly disappeared. The Qibao arrowheads he kept there were also gone. Chunsheng's hunting knife and straw sandals were also missing. A line of footprints led straight to the mountain and never came back.
Grandma Jiu's family was originally very prestigious in the village, and her son Chunsheng was also trusted by everyone, but this incident made the villagers very cold. Everyone said that Chunsheng secretly took the treasure and ran away, leaving it behind.
I left them alone and went to the city to live a good life. Grandma Jiu was very sad because of this incident. She did not believe that Chunsheng would be this kind of person. He stubbornly believed that the Qibao arrowhead was the treasure of the goblin, and Chunsheng was possessed by the goblin.
Bao Bao's deluded mind led him to do this shameful thing. But from then on, Grandma Jiu never saw her son again, and no one in the village mentioned Chunsheng's name again.
When Chen Zhi heard this, he asked Granny Jiu, "Are you saying that before Chunsheng disappeared, he showed the Qibao arrowhead to the people in the town?"
"Yes!" Grandma Jiu nodded, "At that time, they estimated the price of the baby and said they would help us find a buyer! But that night, Chunsheng and the baby were gone. Alas! They were all confused by goblins.
It’s my son!”.
"Damn! What a goblin, this case has been solved." Fat Wei angrily said to Grandma Jiu, "If your son Chunsheng really wants to run away, then why wait until then and just run away in the town?
No one knows yet.
Let me tell you, it was the good deeds of the people in the town. Those gangsters were not good people. They must have been blinded by money. When he sneaked into the mountains and sneaked into the village at night, he stole the Qibao arrowhead. By the way.
Killing people is nothing."
"Not necessarily," Chen Zhi said after thinking for a while. "If he was really killed, he shouldn't have lost his hunting knife and straw sandals. And the people in the town told me that their ancestors had set strict rules.
According to the rules, no clan can go up the mountain privately. If something happens on the mountain, 108 people with the same surname will have to go up the mountain together to solve it. So Chunsheng may still be alive now..."
"I said Chengzi, why are you so honest?" Fat Wei said loudly with a look of indignation, "Do you believe the nonsense they say? What are the rules set by the ancestors? I think money is their ancestor, Chunsheng
He must have been killed by them, and now I don’t know where he is buried in the mountains..."
Fat Wei stopped talking here. He saw Chen Zhixu pointing at Grandma Jiu and shaking his head. He consciously told him not to speak so directly. The old lady would be sad after hearing this.
Fat Wei knew that he had made a mistake and immediately shut up.
At this time, I heard Chen Zhi softly say to Grandma Jiu, "Grandma, don't be sad. You can't talk nonsense about evidence. I heard that people who practice martial arts always put righteousness first and talk about loyalty in the world. We don't want to talk about it."
How could you think of someone so bad and kill someone so casually?"
"Hmph! I think you've watched too many martial arts movies, so what kind of loyalty do you have?" Fat Wei muttered in a low voice, then turned around and said to Grandma Jiu, "Grandma Nine, don't be sad, wait until I go back to town to do my job
Those bastards will avenge your son."
"Yeah! Yeah!" Grandma Jiu didn't know if she understood what they said, she hesitated and agreed, "Let's go quickly! Take the mountain road sooner rather than later."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chen Zhi always felt that Granny Jiu was not as sad as she looked when she said these words.
This hill may not seem big, but in fact there is a universe inside. The terrain is very complicated. The winding and rugged mountain road after that is simply harder than climbing to the sky. It is completely different from the road Chen Zhi has walked before. As they walked, they unknowingly
I followed Grandma Jiu into a valley. The towering trees here blocked the sky and the sun. It looked like a virgin forest with no human traces at all.
Due to the long-term lack of sunlight in the valley, the big trees and rock walls are covered with green moss and fungi. The air is humid and gloomy. There is no way ahead. Next, we have to climb a cliff dozens of meters high.
Chen Zhi and Fat Wei climbed behind Grandma Jiu. They grabbed the thick vines with their hands and climbed up the rock wall. They pushed through the clouds and mist, and the gravel and earth in the gaps in the rocks fell down. The rolling stones
The sound was very loud, and there were echoes in my ears. The stone walls were covered with slippery moss and vines. If you were not careful, you would slip and fall.
However, Grandma Jiu moved very fast, as if she was tireless. Halfway up the climb, there was an old tree entangled with vines. Grandma Jiu grabbed the vines and jumped up, facing a 70-year-old man.
It was incredible for the old lady. Chen Zhi looked at her from behind and felt like she was a big ape.
