Seven Evil Slips Chapter 19:

This is a common terrain in the mountains. It can be regarded as a mountain crevice, with a small mouth and a big belly, like an urn. It is not deep, only less than two meters.

The gap is probably because the moss on the ground grows too densely, and it is basically covered. If you walk on foot, the danger level is considered "light to medium"-you think your feet are down-to-earth, but when your feet are empty, you go down.

However, it is a good place to shelter from the rain, because of the heavy torrential rain, it is difficult to seep in a short time, and the seams are densely planted, and the rain is basically "rolling over" the surface, Luo Ren greeted Kiyo, the raincoat was pulled away, and a simple awning was built by inserting branches into the soil at the crack.

At the other end, 13,000 taunted Cao Yanhua: "The one who called you is a creepy person, how promising you are, Fatty Cao, how many storms and waves have come here."

Yan Hongsha held back her laughter and helped Cao Yanhua pat the wet mud off her body.

Cao Yanhua rolled his eyes: "Didn't I be caught off guard? I was a little stunned when I fell all the way. When I opened my eyes, the dog's face was right in front of me. It was dark and I couldn't see clearly. I was about to jump when I looked at it." Come here, what's the matter calling?"

Luo Ren flashlighted, walked to the corner, and squatted down in front of a stone sculpture of a dog that was half exposed to the ground.

No wonder Cao Yanhua was afraid. The dog was half-buried in the mud in the corner, looking as if it was about to pounce. Look, the appearance is extremely strange, not to mention that there are always bugs crawling in and out of the moss, and the dog moves somewhere suddenly. In the dim light, it really looks like it is alive.

Cao Yanhua and the others all surrounded him, several flashlights beat the dog until his whole body turned pale.

"Brother Luo?"

Luo Ren said: "Dig it out, this stone statue has something to say."

This is a mountain of burials, and it is impossible to create a statue of a dog out of thin air—if it is a town tomb, there are many mythical animals in the funeral culture.

He suddenly thought of something: "You dig first, I'll go up and have a look."

He stood up, opened a corner of the awning, stepped forward with one hand, and jumped onto the ground nimbly and quickly.

It was not difficult to dig. Because of the last time the grave was repaired, when I entered the mountain, I brought a small military shovel with a folded handle in my backpack. For the base, he and ten thousand three people worked together to move the stone statue to a place.

As soon as the move was settled, Luo Ren came down. He was drenched thoroughly with only so much kung fu, and said: "There is a joint tomb of Tao Shangxian and Tao Wei, not far from here. It is very likely that 'Tao Wei' Shi' is Miss Wei in the water shadow."

However, there is not much information. The approximate burial time is chiseled on the tombstone, with the words "Qing Xuantong Seventh Year".

The seventh year of Xuantong was the last year of the Qing Dynasty, the reign of Emperor Puyi. At that time, there were already internal and external troubles, and the wind and rain were precarious.

Whilst speaking, Kiyo let out a sudden snort, squatted down to look carefully at the base, then stretched out his hand and rubbed it vigorously: "There are words on this base!"

There are characters, chiseled small characters, the notch is very shallow, buried by the soil, Luo Ren looked up at the awning, called Cao Yanhua and 13,000 for help, lifted the dog statue to the edge, and then put the rain One end of the canopy was pulled down, and the accumulated rainwater rushed down like a running water, quickly washing the base clean.

Then erected the base at an angle and stood it sideways, found a suitable position in a hole in the ground and plugged in the flashlight - in this way, there will be shadows when the light shines obliquely, making it easier to read the words clearly.

Everyone can clearly see that the first two words are "righteous dog".

Cao Yanhua was taken aback, and he couldn't say anything: "Just... just that dog, is it a righteous dog?"

Luo Ren smiled lightly: "Let's talk after reading it."

***

This is a stele written by a scholar. It is not long, and the words are very frugal.

In classical Chinese, the translation is that the daughter of the best friend Tao Shangxian and Mrs. Wei got married. The husband and wife respected each other as guests. In the scene of the fire, what was even worse was that Tao Weishi was pregnant, so it was regarded as two corpses and three lives.

Then the topic changed and we talked about this dog.

The big book is full of praise, saying that Tao Wei's heart is kind, and he adopted a stray dog ​​before marriage.

After Tao Wei's marriage to the Tao family, the dog originally stayed in Mr. Wei's private school, but it followed Tao's house and waited hard at the door, so Tao Shangxian made the decision and left the dog in Tao house.

Seeing this, Yan Hongsha said angrily, "Won't this attract wolves into the house?"

The next thing was that disaster, the fire was so intense that "the neighbors couldn't save it", the servants of the Tao family were scattered, only the dog lingered on the ruins for days, pulling Tao Wei out of the fire The bracelet, mourning and weeping.

For a while, the whole town was moved, and praised that since the beginning of the world, such a dog that protects the master is rare, so this dog became the "righteous dog" in the town, and someone specially built a kennel for it, restraining it. Children were not allowed to beat or scold, and they were fed with good meals every day. When the Dows were buried, the townspeople even raised funds to ask the master stonemason to chisel out stone carvings and place them beside the tomb in the name of a dog guarding the spirit.

Cao Yanhua's head was about to smoke: "I closed it for the rest of my life and lived a good life? It set fire to kill people!"

13,000 sneered: "Isn't this the same as the fourth evil slip? What you see with your eyes can deceive people. The people in the whole town have been fooled, and they have been fooled for so many years—surname Tao's husband and wife are probably dying with regret."

At the end of the inscription, it is said that perhaps it was the righteous dog that moved the heavens. This dog lived far longer than the domestic dog. Everyone even discussed that when it died, it would be buried next to the Taos.

But no one thought that one day, the dog suddenly left without making a sound. Later, a hunter in the mountain said that he had seen it in the mountain near the Longevity Stone, and he didn't know if it was true. .

Such a bizarre story is worth recording, so later, the people in the town specially invited the chisel master to write this paragraph on the base of the stone statue.

Luo Ren paid attention to the time of making up notes. It was around 1920, more than ten years after the death of the Dows.

***

After reading the inscription, everyone let out a long breath, not relieved, but feeling that they exhaled a lot of absurdity, ridiculousness, and unimaginability, but they were helpless.

"Righteous dog" is really an insult to the word "righteousness".

Luo Ren said: "The tomb of the Tao family couple is not far from the top. The stone statue is no better than the tomb. It was originally placed shallow, and the base was not very deep. Later, a master engraver came to repair the work-it is estimated that there will be a few heavy rains. One charge at a time, there is no guarantee that there will be a lightning strike, it turned over by itself and fell into the crevice of the mountain."

It's also luck, thanks to Cao Yanhua's fall, otherwise the mountain crevice is hidden and not easy to be found. Even if the tomb of the Tao family couple is found, it may not be able to get too many clues.

This longevity stone, ten thousand is impressive.

"At the front desk that day, I took the tourism introduction list of Tong County, which listed many "essential" attractions. The Longevity Stone is in the branch of Xiaoshan Mountain, and in the other direction, it is a distance from here, ten or twenty miles away. Well, it can be connected with some Yellow River attractions to form a tourist route.”

Yan Hongsha couldn't figure it out: "Is it okay to have food and drink in the town and someone to bury it? Why did you leave again?"

Kiyo said: "It has ghosts in its heart. Who knows what will happen after it dies? Its body looks like a dog on the surface, but it is actually a human body inside, right? After deduction and deduction, all the strange things can be connected, let alone buried, it will not relieve the hatred if it is chopped up."

13,000 added: "Besides, it's not good for a dog to live too long—it's becoming more and more famous, and if someday some researcher is attracted, its secrets will be easily leaked."

Luo Ren nodded, half bent his fingers, and tapped the words "Longevity Stone" on the inscription.

"This place should be visited. The word recognition dog left Long Town because it should be preparing for its own funeral. It is a human being in its bones. After death, it wants to have a safe place to bury its bones."

***

There is finally a breakthrough.

It's already evening, and I'll go to Wanshou Stone again, and check it out again and again. It's probably too much, so I'll go back to Tong County first.

On the way back, he was overjoyed, Luo Ren jokingly said, thanks to the blessing of Hongsha's birthday, it was also thanks to Cao Pangpang's turning point.

Back to the hotel, the genius just got dark, this is the first day of the "work break" in the past few days, Luo Ren asked if he would like to have dinner together, Cao Yanhua said: "Free activities, get together all the time, I'm tired of watching. "

He made an agreement with Wan San to see if there was anything good to buy for Yan Hongsha as a birthday present.

As a result, Yan Hongsha is very embarrassed, only Muyo and Luo Ren are left, she follows like a light bulb, and if she doesn't follow, she is alone, which is boring.

Luo Ren could see what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "You can go shopping with Kiyo, I've been driving for the past two days and I'm tired, so I need to rest and recharge my energy."

Yan Hongsha couldn't hide the little mischief in her heart, so she laughed all of a sudden.

Thereupon, with a huff, everyone in the room went their separate ways. Kiyo and Yan Hongsa held hands, just like ordinary girlfriends, whispering, giggling, and getting out of the elevator. In the lobby, Kiyo touched his pocket and realized that he forgot his mobile phone.

She asked Yan Hongsha to wait for her, and rushed up to get the phone.

Swiped the card to enter the room, took the mobile phone, and when he went out, he heard Luo Ren ask: "Who is back?"

Kiyo said: "I, take the phone."

The bathroom door was ajar, and there was the sound of rushing water. Through the crack of the door, he was vaguely seen standing by the sink. Kiyo pushed the door and went in, saying, "You have a good rest..."

Before he finished speaking, he was a little choked in his throat. Luo Ren was standing by the sink, probably because he was exposed to the rain in the mountains, his upper body was bare, and he lay down on his face with water, there were messy drops of water along the Bronze back sheds.

There were several new stab wounds on his back, the others were shallow, and the deepest one, slanting down from the left shoulder, cut the entire back.

Kiyo stared, his nose suddenly sore.

Luo Ren straightened up, took a towel to wipe his face, felt something was wrong halfway through the wipe, looked into her eyes from the mirror, and laughed: "Why, do you feel distressed?"

For some reason, Kiyo nodded himself.

Luo Ren put down the towel, looked back at her, and said, "Come, come here."

Kiyo took the door and went to Luo Ren's side, he looked at her and smiled, stretched out his hand along her back and stroked it to the bottom of her buttocks, with one arm across, and with a strong push, he hugged her and sat her to wash her hands on stage.

And leaned over to her.

Kiyo leaned back uncomfortably, the sink under her body was cold, with splashing water, and behind her was a mirror, which faithfully reflected everything in the room, but she couldn't see it.

Luo Ren grabbed her hand, pressed it to his abdominal muscles, then slowly moved up, stopping at his left shoulder.

His muscles are strong, and he doesn't show much when he wears clothes. He can feel hard when he touches it, which is completely different from her softness.

Luo Ren said: "Little girl, I have suffered a lot in your hands."

His eyes slanted on his shoulders: "Here, the first time we met, I bumped into me hard."

Well, that's right.

At that time, he pretended to be buying fruit, and borrowed a pen and paper from the stall owner to write the number to her: "But miss, if you want to find a chance to meet me, my name is Luo Ren, you can call my number anytime... "

Kiyo laughed out loud, and admitted in a low voice: "Actually, I was quite hurt when I hit it."

Luo Ren lowered his head, bit her lip carefully, the slight pain was like a slender punishment, then he shook her hand, and slanted down all the way to the ribs.

"Here, there was a fight in the woods, and I almost broke with my elbow."

Kiyo couldn't help laughing: "You put the knife on my neck."

He also gestured with his hand, confidently.

Luo Ren blew lightly towards the place she pointed, itching.

"I'm not willing to cut a little bit of your skin. Do you know how many days I've been bruised here? I can't even press it when I sleep at night. It hurts when I press it. In those few nights, I missed you a lot, because I didn't pay attention. Turning over, I woke up with a **** of pain."

I'm sorry Kiyo.

Plum Blossom Jiuniang taught her to use the elbow, and she said: "Muyo, the strength of your fist is like a flower punch. When you hit it, it feels like itching. Your hands will break the skin. It's strange." Distressed."

Teach her to use two joints, the elbow and the knee, and if she uses them, she will be a killer weapon, breaking the other party's bones.

At that time, she really wanted to break his bones.

Hesitatingly: "If I knew it would be... my own, I wouldn't do this. What do you miss me? Are you scolding me?"

Luo Ren approached her lips very close, but he didn't touch them, and said: "At that time, I thought, don't let the little girl fall into my hands in the future, otherwise, I will have to avenge this revenge for the rest of my life."

Yan Ruoyou regretted: "Who knows, you are like a frightened deer in the woods, you just jumped in."

Speaking, slightly loosened the restraint, and asked: "Let's go? There's still time to go."

Kiyo rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go."

She supported the platform with her hands and wanted to slip down, but Luo Ren hugged her back and said, "It's getting late."

He lowered his head and kissed her vigorously, more like biting, Kiyo was very flustered, his hands couldn't hold back the strength, until the foamy water kept slipping, and once his hands almost slipped into the water platform, he was flustered I tried to catch it, but I caught the faucet, and with a splash, the water was at its maximum.

The cold water splashed and fell on one side of the face and neck. Obviously the water vapor is getting bigger and bigger, but the air is gradually drying...

Yan Hongsha's voice sounded outside: "Luo Ren, are you taking a shower? Has Muyo come back? She said come back and get your phone."

This is called being caught off guard, and Kiyo's heart stopped beating in fright.

Luo Ren raised his head and blinked at her, as if laughing at her nervousness.

Said: "She came up, took the phone and went down, she should have gone to find you."

While speaking, he turned down the faucet a little bit.

Yan Hongsha was surprised: "I didn't see her, this Muyo...I'll call her cell phone and ask."

Hand...hand...phone?

Suddenly Kiyo's eyes fell on the mobile phone beside him, his scalp tingled for a moment, he was at a loss what to do, seeing water in the water table, his first reaction was to throw it into the water table.

Luo Ren intercepted it, and the moment the phone was placed in his palm, Kiyo saw that the screen suddenly lit up.

That's... the phone came in, and it was too late to turn off the phone.

It's over...

It's too embarrassing, Kiyo closed his eyes annoyed.

The expected ringtone of the mobile phone did not ring, but a soft sound, something falling into the water.

Looking subconsciously, the phone is still in Luo Ren's hand, but the backing plate of the phone is sandwiched between his two fingers, and further down, the bottom cover of the phone is floating on the water surface of the sink, swinging leisurely, like a strip A rafting boat.

The door rang, and Yan Hongsha went out muttering.

Kiyo let go in one breath, and slumped limply on the sink, Luo Ren hugged her down, pressed the backing back, picked up the phone cover, wiped her pants, and put them on.

Handed it back to her, and said: "Give you back to Hongsha, don't neglect the old little birthday star."

Kiyo took it, still a little unresponsive, patted her chest and walked towards the door, Luo Ren reminded her: "Don't look through the cat's eyes first? What if the red sand is at the door?"

Also, Kiyo felt that he was stupid today.

Finally confirmed that it was safe, and when she opened the door to go out, Luo Ren suddenly called her again: "Hey."

Kiyo turned around.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, I dismantled the gun in nine seconds, with one hand."

***

When I came back at night, everyone was shopping lively, Mudai and Yan Hongsha basically ate all the way, Cao Yanhua and Yiwan got nothing, and even complained to Luo Ren.

——Small place, there are really no good things, I bought it back, and I will kill my sister Hongsha...

So wash up, rest, tomorrow there is a trip to the Longevity Stone.

During washing, it was a **** of a thing, every time the faucet was turned on, Kiyo blushed and his heart beat, he went to bed, tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

At the end of the night, I had a dream.

I knew it was a dream, because the beginning of the dream was exactly the same as that night. There was fog in the hotel room, and in the fog, seven slender, weird shadows rustled and whispered one after another.

- Hide Hide Hide.

——She couldn't think of it.

Why can't I think of it, where is it hidden, and who is it? Is it a familiar person?

Kiyo suddenly became angry. In the dream, she gritted her teeth and rushed into the thick fog.

Those shadows scattered and fled in all directions, as if a secret had been smashed in panic.

While stumbling, she suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of her.

The figure of the man is tall, tall and straight, and she can trace the outline even with eyes closed.

Kiyo's heart tightened, and he stopped suddenly.

She backed away slowly.

It can't be you, it can't be you.
