"How the hell do I know?" I listened carefully, and the watchman's shout gradually faded away, and the sound of clappers seemed to be playing irregularly, so I said, "This should not be a watchman, it seems to be using this method." Tell everyone to rest."
The fat man shook his head: "Just take a rest, and tell all directions, as if others don't know."
I waved my hand: "Don't think about these useless things. It's already dark, go to rest early."
Fat Dahai nodded: "Okay. I'll go to the latrine first."
Speaking of which, Pang Dahai opened the door and walked to the backyard. The dry toilet is in a corner of the backyard.
I was lying on the bed by myself, trying to fall asleep, but I didn't feel sleepy. Maybe it was because I was nervous all the time, and I couldn't calm down for a while.The brain is always in a state of hyperactivity.
After more than ten minutes, I found that Pang Dahai hadn't come back.
Confused, I hurriedly sat up from the bed.Could it be that Pang Dahai went back to his own room?
I put on my shoes, walked through the nave, and came to Fat Hai's room.
The bed was empty and there was no one in the room.
I was even more frightened and rushed to the backyard.By the moonlight in the sky, I found a figure was climbing on the wall next to the dry toilet, using hands and feet to climb up.
Looking at the back, it was Pang Dahai.
I hurried over and patted his shoulder lightly.The guy was startled, he let go of his hand, and his body fell heavily.
He was startled first, and realized it was me, so he covered his butt and grinned.I wanted to ask him what he was doing, but he hurriedly made a silent gesture at me.
I didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him suspiciously.
He pointed lightly towards the outside of the wall, and then pointed towards the top of the wall.
I understood what he meant. He must have heard something special outside the wall when he was going to the toilet, so he wanted to climb up the wall to have a look.Just then I came to the backyard.
I hastily put my ear against the wall and listened carefully.
It should also be a street outside, and there were chaotic footsteps on the street.The footsteps were chaotic, and it sounded like a lot of people were walking.
I was taken aback, and Xu Dongyang warned me that I must return to my residence before dark, and after dark, I must not leave the yard where I live.And the clapper just now clearly yelled for everyone to sleep in the dark, but what's going on outside?Could it be that the black sleep that day was only for me and the fat man?
At this time, Pang Dahai squatted down and motioned for me to step on his shoulders and climb up to the top of the wall to take a look.
The movement from outside the wall really attracted me.
I thought, if I just climbed over the wall and looked out, it doesn't count as walking out of the yard, so it should be fine.
So I stepped on Pang Haihai's shoulders, he supported the wall and tried to stand up straight.His shoulders are very broad, and I stepped on it very steadily. I also slowly grabbed the wall with my hands and poked my head out.
The street outside is very clean, and the moonlight is completely pouring on the street, making the whole street completely white.
And on this street, there were no less than a dozen people walking.These people danced and looked very crazy. They were running back and forth on this street.
I was dumbfounded, because all the people running on this street were the villagers from Shoushantun.
During the day, those villagers were all old and listless, they seemed to be very old, and their movements were extremely slow.
But now their state is completely different from that of the daytime. Not only are they all radiant and their eyes are piercing, but they also act like rabbits, sonorous and powerful.
They ran up and down the street tirelessly, looking up at the moon in the sky from time to time and gasping for air.
I motioned for Pang Dahai to put me down, and told him what I saw.
Pang Dahai asked me in a low voice: "Boss, why are they in two states during the day and at night?"
I shook my head: "I don't know either. But they have a movement, that is, when they run, they will stop and look up at the moon and take a big breath. This reminds me..."
Pang Dahai asked anxiously, "What do you remember?"
"Everything in the world is about yin and yang. The same is true for heaven, earth, sun and moon. The sky is yang, the earth is yin, the mountains are yang, water is yin, the sun is yang, and the moon is yin. The moon is like the sun to ghosts. It is indispensable for human beings. Especially the full moon around the fifteenth day can provide sufficient energy for ghosts. This energy is called the essence of the moon."
"Essence of the moon? Ghost? Boss, you mean, these people outside are ghosts?"
Pang Dahai was very surprised when he heard this.
I shook my head: "I just saw their behavior, which is very similar to what my third uncle told me about ghosts absorbing the essence of the moon."
Fat Dahai suddenly shivered: "Boss, tell me, those people look completely different during the day and at night. They are sluggish during the day and energetic at night. Could it be that they are really ghosts?"
"How is it possible? We have all dealt with them. Although they seem to be inactive during the day, they are no different from ordinary people in terms of speech and actions." Although I was puzzled, I still couldn't believe what Pang Dahai said of.
"Boss, listen, there is no movement outside."
Fat Dahai suddenly pointed to the outside of the wall and said.
Sure enough, there was a mess of footsteps outside just now, but suddenly there was no sound.
"Quick, Fatty, lift me up, and I'll have a look again." I let Fatty squat down, and I stepped on his shoulders to climb up the wall again.
The moonlight is still on the street, but those walking people have disappeared.
I hurriedly looked towards the end of the street, and sure enough, I found a few figures running down the end of the street, and quickly disappeared from sight.
"Quick, fat man, lift me up, and let's follow them."
Using both hands and feet, with the help of Pang Dahai, I climbed up to the top of the wall, and then I pulled Pang Dahai up with great effort.
The two of us jumped off the wall and ran down the street directly after the figures.
Originally, I planned to follow Xu Dongyang's warning, not to step out of the yard at night.But we found something strange about these people, and I suddenly wanted to figure it all out.
Because although Pang Dahai and I denied the fact that those people would be ghosts, the doubts in my heart became more and more serious.
The third uncle said that grandpa left the map and asked me to come here according to the map, the original intention was to avoid the black and white poisonous silkworm, and let me find the natal lamp that I had extinguished.However, the map only said that it was Shoushantun, and did not explain what kind of place it was.
After I came here, the things I encountered were weird and bizarre, and everyone looked very mysterious.And it seemed like everyone wasn't telling me the truth.That Yumo once warned me not to trust everyone here.
So if I want to find out the truth, the only way I can do it is through my own eyes and my own ears.
Chapter 314
The two of us ran down that street, and found another mountain path under our feet, winding forward.
I don't know where the path leads to, but the villagers who ran over are all gone.There was no other path here, and it was evident that they were running down this path.
Without thinking about it, I took Pang Dahai and continued to chase along that path.
Both sides of the path are covered with weeds, looking at the surrounding environment, it is very barren.
We chased for a few hundred meters, and suddenly saw a figure shaking in front of us from a distance.
I didn't dare to chase too close, so I dragged Pang Haihai into the nearby grass.The grass there was as high as half a person, and the two of us squatted down, just enough to block our bodies.
We squatted inside and slowly approached the front.
After moving forward for tens of meters, there was a sudden sound of rushing water.
It was the sound of water flowing, and at the same time the sound of two people talking.
I listened quietly, and the voices were a man and a woman.
Hear the woman speak first: "Have you got it yet?"
The man replied: "Not yet, this matter cannot be rushed."
"If you want me to say, why bother? Just grab that kid and search him."
"No. You forgot, it's useless to just get that thing, there is still a step. Now he has trusted me a lot, give me some time, and I will settle the matter...Okay, the boat is here, let's go. "
The two asked and answered, and the content seemed to be related to me.And the voices of these two people are very familiar to me, the man seems to be Xu Dongyang, and the woman is that old lady Xu Meilu.
After the two of them finished speaking, they walked away when they heard the sound of footsteps.
The two of us got out of the grass and chased forward, and we found a small river in front of us.
I don't know where the river flows down from. The river is not very wide, but the current is very fast.The sound of running water we just heard should come from here.
Fat Dahai reminded me: "Boss, look, there is a boat coming down from above."
At this time, a wooden boat floated down from the upstream along the current.
I thought of what Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu said just before leaving, the boat is coming.But now they are not by the river, obviously they are going downstream in a wooden boat.
But why is there another boat on it?Is there anyone else coming aboard?
I looked around, but I didn't find anyone else there, so I pulled Pang Haihai to get on the boat.
Pang Haihai pulled me back: "Boss, you should have thought about it. I'm going down in a boat, I don't know where I'm going, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back when the time comes."
I nodded: "It doesn't matter. If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't catch a tiger. It's better for us to take this risk today than to be kept in the dark and play like a fool."
The reason why I say this is because I heard the conversation between Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu. That Xu Dongyang said both inside and outside the meaning, the reason why he was close to me and helped me secretly was not out of benevolence or righteousness, not for repayment Grandpa, but also for personal gain.Like wanting something from me.Then I thought of when I first entered the village, they shouted for relief.From this, it is not difficult to speculate that they should have encountered some difficulties or predicaments, and only my arrival will help them out of their predicaments.
They are plotting against me one by one, but what can I have on me?Unfortunately, the conversation between Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu did not last long.So much so that I was still ignorant, and if I wanted to find out the truth, I had to take this risky trip.
The boat came to us very quickly, and Pang Dahai stepped forward to grab the side of the boat, and the two of us jumped onto the wooden boat.
There were two oars in the wooden boat, but this boat floated downstream along the current without oars.
The two of us sat on the boat and looked around carefully.The scenery on the shore quickly passed by, and no one noticed us.
Sitting on the boat, I suddenly shivered, and a chill came up from under the water.
I noticed that the hull of the wooden boat was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
I reached into the water and tested the water temperature of the river.As a result, the water was icy cold, and it hurt like being pricked by a needle.
I quickly withdrew my hand and fought two more cold wars in a row.
And after the boat drifted along the river for a certain distance, the river became wider and wider.A towering mountain appeared ahead.Because it was at night, the mountain peak was not really visible, only a dark patch.
And the boat didn't intend to stop, and actually drove quickly towards the mountain peak.
The speed of the boat was getting faster and faster, and Pang Dahai and I both involuntarily grasped the side of the boat, and our hearts began to get nervous.
According to the speed of the small boat, if it hits the mountain, it will inevitably result in the destruction of the boat and the loss of life.
But at this speed, we can't abandon the boat and go ashore, not to mention that the river is much wider, even if we disembark, we can only go into the water, and the temperature of the water can instantly freeze us into popsicles.We could only watch helplessly as the boat went straight by.
When the boat rushed to the vicinity of the mountain, we frantically used flashlights to shine on it, only to find that there was a small waterfall under the mountain, flying straight down and splashing in all directions.The water curtain poured down, making a rumbling sound.
The wooden boat we were in was hit by the current and crashed into the water curtain.
Both Pang Dahai and I couldn't help screaming, thinking that the boat would definitely hit the mountain after passing through the water curtain.
Who knew that after the boat broke through the water curtain, the mountain behind the water curtain was actually empty.
Our boat followed the river, passed through the water curtain, and directly entered the mountain.
After passing the water curtain, it suddenly became calm here.The water is as clear and calm as a lake.Our boat is like a solitary boat, floating on the water and going round and round.
We used the flashlight to look around, and there were dark mountains on all sides, and a river below, extending to the innermost part of the mountain.There's nothing wrong with this place.
"Fatty, use a paddle." I reminded Pang Dahai, and they each held a wooden paddle and paddled forward.
Pang Dahai and I paddled vigorously forward, originally thinking of paddling the boat towards the depths of the cave.But the two of us saw the problem within a few strokes.
Our oars didn't move at all in the water, as if we had muddled them with the oars, and as if something in the water was entangled with the wooden oars.
But when we took the wooden oar up, we didn't find anything, and the water was also very clear, and we didn't find anything strange below through the water surface.
This is really strange, before us, there should be a boat driven by Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu to come here.Their boat was gone, evidently gone.How did they row the boat?
Fat Dahai didn't believe in evil, so he stretched out the wooden oar into the water again and paddled vigorously.The wooden boat moved forward a few meters, and he was so tired that he was sweating all over his body.The wooden paddle is still extremely heavy in the water, and it takes a lot of effort to move it every time.
"It's so crazy, what's so weird in this water?" Pang Dahai cursed, threw the wooden oar on the boat, and sat down by himself, panting heavily.
"Something's wrong, fat man, look at this wooden oar." I suddenly noticed something strange about the wooden oar, so I quickly reminded Pang Dahai to take a look.
Chapter 315
I noticed something strange about the wooden oar, and Pang Dahai hurried over to observe it carefully.
I saw that the oar head part of the wooden oar, for some reason, was missing a part.I hurriedly took another wooden oar and compared it with this one.
Sure enough, the wooden oar Pang Haihai just used was more than ten centimeters shorter than the original one.Moreover, the missing part of the oar head of the wood pulp seemed to have been bitten by something, it was uneven, and it was covered with fine bite marks.
"Fatty, do you still remember that chopstick?" I looked at the wooden paddle, and the scene of the fatty using that chopstick to tease the gnat suddenly flashed in my mind.At that time, the gnat was biting the wooden chopstick in the fat man's hand, and the situation was very similar to this wooden oar.
The fat man was also shocked: "Boss, you mean, there are those strange gnats in eggs down here?"
The two of us looked at each other, lying on the boat at the same time, poking our heads to look under the water.
The water is very deep, but it is very clear. At a glance, it is five or six meters deep.We only saw waterweed-like floating objects on the bottom of the water, and apart from that, there was not even a single fish, let alone that kind of gnat.
The fat man picked up the wooden oar just now again, dipped it under the water, and tried a few strokes.
