"You are right, this matter cannot be such a coincidence." Ding Yong murmured.
I clenched my fists and looked very firmly: "Although I don't know what will happen, this is my hometown where I was raised and raised. I can't watch anything happen to my fellow villagers. Let's postpone our return to the city for a few days."
The next day, I took Ding Yong, the village chief’s son Wang Dali and a few other strong young men for a walk around the village. We discovered that there were many messy footprints and snakes crawling somewhere at the end of the village.
traces of.
Ding Yong cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, someone really came to release the snake!"
Wang Dali couldn't help but yelled: "His grandma came here in the middle of the night to release venomous snakes. They are here to harm us!"
That feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense. When I was a child, I heard my grandma say that the geographical location of the village is very good, with warm winters and cool summers, and fertile land. Although the life is poor, the people here except me, a skinny boy who has been punished by God.
Everyone looks strong outside, and grandma often says that if someone has money, we can say this is a small blessed place.
This location is so good, would anyone want to build a grave here?
Or is there some secret here?
I asked Wang Dali: "Dali, have any outsiders been here during this time?"
"outsider?"
Wang Dali and others looked at each other and shook their heads.
But he quickly remembered: "Last month, several outsiders came to the village to collect medicinal materials and wanted to go to the mountains. At that time, your grandma warned them that it was not a place they could go, but we
I don’t know if they have entered the mountain or not.”
It seems that this matter has something to do with this group of outsiders.
I asked Ding Yong in a low voice: "Is there any way to track where these footprints are going?"
Ding Yong smiled proudly: "It's not difficult to follow these footprints. I used to do this often when I was a soldier."
Seeing that we were ready to move, Wang Dali hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhen, Brother Ding Yong, are you... are you going into the depths of Dafeng Ridge?"
I know he is worried about our safety, because when my grandma was still alive, she specifically warned us that Dafeng Ridge is divided into front and rear mountains. The front mountain is where we farm and dig medicine, and the back mountain is the habitat of old graves and ferocious beasts. We cannot act carelessly.
Break into Dahou Mountain.
I smiled slightly: "Let's go there and see what we find. We won't go in."
Soon, we were ready to go into the mountains, with knives and gunpowder, dry food and water, lighting and first-aid medicines.
Except for Wang Dali who led us, we did not let anyone else follow us, because I already knew that what grandma said was not a lie to children, and that too many people would cause unnecessary trouble.
Ding Yong followed the footprints all the way, and Wang Dali and I kept following Ding Yong. The further we walked in, the uglier Wang Dali's face became, because not far ahead was the back mountain of Dafeng Ridge.
At this moment, a group of frightened birds flew out from the Dahou Mountain. Everyone in the mountain knew that these were frightened birds, and there must be something moving below.
Seeing the big movement inside, Ding Yong, Dali, and I were a little scared, because the back mountain is not as stable as the front mountain, and there are various old tombs and many unexplainable supernatural events inside.
I still know the road here. Going to the left is the ancestral tomb in Muyang Village, and going in is the road to the mountains.
I gave Ding Yong a wink, and Ding Yong understood the idea and moved forward to touch it. After a few moments, he came back with a surprised look on his face.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Ding Yong looked around and found no one before he said: "There are several practitioners with homemade shotguns there, either here to hunt wild animals or to do bad things!"
Lian Jia Zi is what ordinary people call people who know martial arts. From the outside, they have strong bodies and have the arrogance of martial arts practitioners on their faces.
"Brother Zhen, what do you do?" Dali asked me in a low voice.
Dali is not as knowledgeable as me, nor is he as skilled and experienced as Ding Yong. He comes from a mountain village, and there will inevitably be unexpected dangers if he follows us in.
I whispered: "Dali, please go back first, God knows what will be inside."
Dali was very worried, and he whispered: "Then you... just the two of you will go in? It's very dangerous there."
I reassured: "It's okay, let's just go and take a look."
Dali did not push him too much, and after some warnings, he returned the same way.
After discussing with Ding Yong, I planned to go to the mountains to see what sneaky things those people were doing.
Ding Yong had been a scout and was very agile and agile. With his help, I moved forward smoothly. At the corner of a mountain col, I also saw several suspicious-looking drills that Ding Yong mentioned earlier.
Family son.
Ding Yong asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhen, do you think it was these grandsons who released the poisonous snake?"
I observed their clothing carefully and found that they all had a small yellow cloth bag tied to their military boots.
"If I guess correctly, their feet are tied with sulfur powder."
I lowered my voice and cursed: "If these grandsons do something bad, we can't let them leave like this."
No one has entered the mountain behind Dafeng Ridge for decades. It is densely covered with trees and weeds. When you step on it, you can clearly feel the layers of dead branches and leaves below.
I looked around and found that this was actually an air inlet.
The so-called air inlet is the place where the outside wind comes in first. Some people also call it the air inlet or the incoming air outlet. The larger the air inlet, the better the place inside. For example, the harbor is a huge air inlet.
Since the place inside is very good, why doesn’t grandma let us go in and develop?
She is a very powerful person, but she is actually afraid of things from the back mountains?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt unsure. Something that even grandma is afraid of must be something extraordinary.
Just as we were following those people, two people came from the other side of them. After a few words, they walked inside together, walking in a hurry, as if something was going on.
Ding Yong and I looked at each other, and when we were about to follow up, we discovered that there was an old grave not far away that was difficult to detect.
I thought back to the few practitioners who had just peeed here, and I suddenly felt angry: "These grandsons don't even look where they are peeing!"
Grandma often told me that there are three things to pay special attention to when traveling in the wilderness. First, you must know the direction and not get lost. If you encounter heavy fog, you must stop moving forward and retreat if necessary; second, you must know the direction clearly and not get lost.
Pay attention to venomous snakes and wild animals, and use no less weapons and medicines; third, respect ghosts and gods, and be quiet when encountering wild graves, and never disturb their sleep.
Not only were the grandsons not quiet just now, they also peed on other people's graves. This really violated a taboo.
We continued to walk forward, and the mountain road became steeper and steeper. Halfway up the mountain, we were surprised to find that there were quite a few people meeting the practitioners. One of them, a man and a woman, looked fair and tender.
I knew she was from the city, and the girl was quite pretty.
"What's the fuss about?" Ding Yong muttered.
I narrowed my eyes and said coldly: "If you look further, you will know where they are going to cause trouble. There must be a powerful leader in the wild mountains and mountains here."
As I expected, behind those people sat an old man about 60 years old. Judging from the proud look on his face, he seemed to have some skills.
I looked around him carefully, and I discovered a mahogany coffin!
