Second Brother Zhang was startled when he heard that I had decided to go to Yinshangou so quickly, and his expression was very surprised.From a small village, the old people taught us that we should not go to that place in the Yin Mountain Valley, no matter what.But no one who has been there has ever returned.A few years ago, there was a bold man in the village who didn't believe it, so he went into the Yin ravine, and never came out again.Moreover, even in broad daylight, in the case of cloudless skies, if you look at the Yin ravine from a distance of tens of meters, you will feel that the Yin ravine is blurry and cannot be seen clearly.After watching it for a while, you will still feel dizzy and tired.But compared to Xiaogou Village, I still think that Yinshangou is a little milder, so I will choose to go there without hesitation.Uncle Zhang had a solemn expression on his face and said Then you go home first, and then go to Yinshan Ravine at night.I was startled and said, "Uncle Zhang, why don't you go during the day, so that at least I can be bolder."
If it's night, I'm afraid I'll not dare go. ”It is human nature to be bold during the day and timid at night.I know that I want to go to that kind of evil place, and I have to go at night, so I'm not afraid.Uncle Zhang said, "I have to prepare something, it will take time."
Moreover, you have to bring what I have prepared, and it again only works at night.If you fail tonight, you can go to Xiaogou Village tomorrow.It's dangerous, but there's at least a silver lining. ”He's right, I can only say okay, I'll come to you in the evening.As soon as he turned around, Second Brother Zhang was walking in with his daughter-in-law.Second Brother Zhang said: "Dongfang, the sixth woman is not at home, and you are the only one in the village who knows how to deliver children."
Or, help your sister-in-law take a look" Second sister-in-law Zhang blushed and looked away.I don't think it's anything to others, but Zhang's second sister-in-law, the person I see every day, is too familiar.I was embarrassed to let me check on her.When I arrived at Zhang's second sister-in-law's room, I asked her if she had had a stomachache in the past two days, and she nodded, saying that her stomach would hurt at night, but it was not for a long time.I said you lie down first, and I'll touch your belly.Her face turned redder, but she lay down on the bed anyway.I kept my calm mood, lifted her clothes, and gently touched her belly with my hand, and I really felt it.After a while, I said you're fine now, don't worry too much.If the pain persists at night and there is blood streak underneath, don't worry, it's a sign before the baby is born.After leaving Uncle Zhang's house, I went home and saw that the house was empty.I asked the neighbors if they had ever seen my mother-in-law come back, and everyone said that the door of my house was closed these days, and no one had come at all.Just when I was worried about whether something would happen to my mother-in-law, a lonely old man in the village called me at the door.This old man's surname is Liu, and the people in the village call him Lao Liutou.He likes to drink very much, and sometimes he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, carrying a wine jug outside the house, and singing alone.I asked him what he was looking for me, and Old Liu Tou said, "Dongfang, don't you want to know the news of your mother-in-law, Uncle Liu can tell you." ”As soon as I heard this, I immediately became excited.Although Lao Liu Tou is a good drinker, he never lies and treats people very well.So usually everyone treats him well, killing a pig or something, they will invite him to drink.I hurriedly asked him: "Uncle Liu, you have news of my mother-in-law" He immediately made a straight face, saying that Uncle Liu would still lie to you, I quickly apologized to him, and asked him to tell me where my mother-in-law went.He glanced at my hands and said I was hungry now.When he had said that, he turned and went back to his house.I wanted to catch up when I saw him gone, but when I thought of his eyes and his words just now, I immediately understood.I hurriedly turned around and ran home, worked for more than half an hour, brought food and drink, and walked excitedly towards Lao Liutou's house.When I entered the door, he was lying on a recliner, very leisurely.I smiled and said, Uncle Liu, it's time to eat, there is wine and food.Old Liu Tou smiled, got up and entered his house with me.During the meal and drink, I asked Lao Liu again where my mother-in-law had gone.Lao Liu's face was red, his mouth was full of wine, he hiccuped, and said: "Dongfang, actually, I, I don't know where your mother-in-law went" I immediately became anxious and yelled at him, you lied to me Old Liu Tou waved his hand, looked at me drunkenly, and said that you listen to me after I finish speaking.He burped, and the smell of alcohol hit my face and almost made me vomit.He said, "I really don't know where your mother-in-law has gone."
But, that night, I saw who she was with, who she was going out with. ”I immediately became nervous, and I didn't dare to interject casually, so I continued to listen to him: "The night before you were taken away by the people of Lujia Village, I was also drunk that day, lying in the courtyard, and was about to sleep.That's when I saw a man passing by the door with your mother-in-law.It was dark, and I didn't get a good idea of what the man looked like.However, from his figure, I felt very familiar, so I shouted Ah Heng is back.The man looked at me and smiled at me.And your mother-in-law kept following Ah Heng as if she hadn't heard the sound.I staggered to the door, and after a closer look, your mother-in-law walked alone, and there was no Ah Heng at all. ”Before I did it, I would definitely think that Lao Liu Tou was drunk and talking nonsense.But after the incident at Lu Huzi's house, I believe everything now.Therefore, I think Lao Liutou's words should be true.But this Ah Heng, who is it I was about to ask Lao Liu, but this guy was already lying on the table and falling asleep.I couldn't help it, so I helped him to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and went out.Old Liu Tou is almost sixty years old this year, and there are many people in the village who are about the same age as him.I think that if Lao Liu Tou knows that "Ah Heng", then other old people in the village may also know him.After going out, I went to the big rhubarb kudzu tree in the middle of the village, which was very spacious, and the old people would sometimes gather under the tree and kill two plates or something.I went to have a look, and I did see four or five old men gathered around, two of them playing chess, and the others were playing next to them.As I walked over, I greeted them.They also greeted me warmly, which was all due to the good reputation that Granny To's had accumulated in the village.After looking at it for a while, I asked the old Chen on the right if he knew a person named "Ah Heng".After hearing this, Lao Chen's face changed greatly, and then he waved his hand and said that he didn't know him.I was about to ask another old man on the left, but he hurriedly said he didn't know him.Originally, I wanted to ask the two old men who were playing chess, but who knew that they actually walked away with the chessboard, as if they were deliberately avoiding me, which confused me.At this moment, I saw the village chief passing by, and I hurriedly ran over to greet him.I thanked him first, and I went to Lujia Village several times for my business, and I also took a lot of effort.He smiled and said that this is all right, your mother-in-law has delivered so many children for the village, without her, there may be fewer people in our village.After some greetings, I asked the village chief if he knew a person named "Ah Heng", and after hearing this, the smile on the village chief's face immediately froze.Then he waved at me, said he didn't know, and then used other things as an excuse to quickly leave.Now I was completely dizzy, why did everyone hear the name "Ah Heng", they would be scared like this, and at the same time, I also understood in my heart, they must know the inside story, but they just don't want to mention it.Although they didn't say anything, I still had to ask, otherwise how would I know where my mother-in-law went.But who will tell me, I thought, by the way, old Liu.This is what he told me, so he must know "Ah Heng" as well.Yes, when he wakes up, I'll ask him.But as soon as Lao Liu was drunk, he didn't wake up at night, which made me very annoying.Because, at night, I have to go to Uncle Zhang, and I have to go to Yinshan Valley to find the child.I also tried to wake up Lao Liu, but he just wouldn't wake up.I wanted to splash him with cold water, but seeing that he was old, he had no children, no daughters and no wife, if he got sick, it would be bad.So, in the end, I also dismissed this idea.After leaving Lao Liutou's house, I went to find Uncle Zhang.When I went in, I saw a lot of things on his table.In addition to the incense wax paper money, there is also a white lantern.The lantern was made of white paper, but there was a word written on it, which surprised me a little.When Uncle Zhang saw me coming, he pointed to the lantern and said, "Dongfang, this lantern is used when you go in."
It's there, and that kind of thing doesn't dare to come near you. ”"What about when you come out," I asked hurriedly."
When you come out, if you come across a fork in the road, light three sticks of incense on the left road, sprinkle a handful of paper money, and say OK, get out of the way.When you're done, you go to the right.If you encounter a fork in the road, you can turn clockwise three times in the same place, or on the left road, light three sticks of incense, sprinkle a handful of paper money, and then take the right one.Whether you're going in or coming out, don't look back if you feel a cold wind around your neck or ears.Remember" When he said these words, Uncle Zhang's expression was very solemn.After finishing speaking, he patted me on the shoulder and said in a heavy tone, "Dongfang, I hope you can come back safely." ”:
