There were more and more people setting off cannons on the street at night. I don’t know which brat set it on fire, and it exploded near our window, almost shattering the glass.

Bean Sprout put down his chopsticks angrily, opened the window and shouted downstairs: "Damn it! Who set off the firecrackers! Don't let me catch you little brats!"

The children downstairs were scared away by Bean Sprouts.

"Brother Yu, are you really planning to go back to Harbin to open a martial arts gym?"

"Yeah, I think the money is enough. Opening a martial arts gym has always been my childhood dream," Brother Yu said with a smile.

I shook my head: "Brother Yu, I don't think you will make money from opening a martial arts gym. In a peaceful society, who wants to learn martial arts? If no one learns, your martial arts gym will definitely go bankrupt."

"That's right," Bean Sprouts nodded again and again: "If no one learns, it will definitely go bankrupt."

Brother Yu said with a smile: "You guys can't hope that I will be better? You say I'm closed before I open it. What if my martial arts gym is full of students and it becomes popular?"

"impossible!"

Bean Sprout said loudly: "Brother! Think about Xiaoqian! What a wonderful girl! If you don't stay with us in the future, how can you meet such a nice girl?"

"As long as you follow us, there will be more little greens, little purples, little reds, little greens, little whites, and little blacks in the future!"

"Brother, you are still young, and there are many opportunities to open a martial arts gym, but before that, you have to practice first. The so-called worldly cultivation of the heart, you are not yet consummated."

"Well, I won't leave now, let's practice first." Brother Yu said suddenly.

"Huh? Really?"

Bean Sprouts obviously didn't expect his nonsense to have an effect.

Brother Yu smiled and nodded.

In fact, I know what he really thinks in his heart, and he is also reluctant to part with us.

The New Year is approaching, and finally we returned to Yulin to celebrate the New Year.

Don't be greedy, children, Laba is the new year.

Although our group didn't go home to rent a house to live in, we also made arrangements for the New Year.

Posting Spring Festival couplets, setting off cannons, cutting meat and making dumplings, making New Year’s Eve dinner, watching the Spring Festival Gala, there should be a lot.

There are several folk customs in Yulin during Chinese New Year, such as turning nine tunes, making iron flowers, and burning fire towers. At that time, paper lanterns could be placed on the Yuxi River. There are also many styles of paper lanterns available, square, round, long, and flat. Stacked together to float on the river, very beautiful.

Bean Sprouts was too bad, so he used a wooden stick to fish up the paper lanterns put by others in the river, and burned them all with a lighter.

On New Year's Eve, we put paper lanterns by the river and called our heads to tell us to go back to have New Year's Eve dinner.

After I went back, I saw two more people at the dinner table, and I only knew one Master Zhao from Xiangxi.

"Hold your head, this is..."

"Come to Yunfeng, let me introduce you to Yucheng, Shandong, Master Xue Dingxue, your uncle, let me get to know you, Master Zhao, I won't introduce you, everyone is very familiar."

"My uncle?" I asked in surprise. .

This Xue Ding is in his early 50s. He has black hair and looks very energetic. He didn't know much about this person before. I didn't expect him to be my uncle, and he told me about it afterwards.

Born in the first 34 years, he was born in a place called Zhugou Village in the north of Henan Province when he was a child. The head is called Wang Pingzi. This Wang Pingzi is from the late Qing Dynasty. Tomb robbery.

Xue Ding followed Wang Pingzi in 76, so He Batou can be regarded as his senior brother, and he can also be regarded as my senior uncle.

"Haha, you're being polite, God's Eye Peak? It's spread on our Taoism recently. I didn't expect to see such a young man today. As an elder, I came here in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any red envelopes. Don't blame me."

"Where is Master Xue's words?"

I raised my glass and said with a smile: "You are flattering me, junior toast."

"Okay, come on."

We had a drink and got to know each other.

The TV in the living room was playing the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Xuan turned down the volume of the TV.

He ate the fish with his head, put down his chopsticks and said, "Old Xue, I understand you. After we killed your head, you have been working alone, and you have made a fortune in silence on the road. You came to me so suddenly this time, is there something wrong? "

He looked at a few of us.

Xiangxi Master Zhao took a sip from his wine glass.

Knowing that he had some scruples, he immediately said: "It's okay, we are all our own people, let's talk."

"Okay, I'll get it straight."

"Xiansheng, do you still remember Wang Junhua?"

"Wang Junhua..."

He turned his head and pondered: "Is it the geotechnical worker who left us back then?"

He nodded: "Yes, something happened to him. Two months ago, he took a few to Dao County, Yongzhou, and there was no news about it."

"boom!"

Xiangxi Master Zhao put down his wine glass, frowned and said, "Dao County? Did this person go to Guizailing?"

Xue Ding looked at Master Zhao with serious eyes and nodded.

His head was also dignified.

I didn't know what Guizailing was, and I didn't know there was such a place as Youdao County, so I asked at the wine table what it meant.

He spoke intermittently with his head.

It was in 03. In the past two years, the Yongzhou Cultural Relics Institute and the Dao County Folklore Research Committee invited a group of professionals and folk archaeologists to Guizailing for investigation and research.

Research what?

After studying the tens of thousands of stone statues with strange styles in the forest, the final result is nothing. I didn't find out why. I heard that one person was missing.

Because there has always been a saying in the local area that each of the stone statues in Guizailing represents a little ghost, and anyone who touches the stone statue will be entangled by the little ghost.

Therefore, villagers in the local Dao County often worship the burnt paper around Guizai Ridge. Those stone men don't know who made it, and they don't know which dynasty they belonged to. No one in the local area dares to enter the forest.

Someone asked, if there are so many stone men, will no one steal them?

This was really not available back then, because no one wanted it if it was stolen, and it was worthless.

My uncle Xue Ding who appeared suddenly said: "Xiansheng, Wang Junhua and I have a very good personal relationship, so I want to check that place. You also know that I always fight alone, but this time I may not be able to, so I I've come to help you."

"Um....."

He tapped his head and fingers on the table, thought for a while and said, "Old Xue, I will discuss it with my apprentice."

"Yunfeng, you come out first."

When I got to the corridor, I handed me a cigarette, and I lit my head first.

"call......"

"Yunfeng, do you still remember that sheepskin drawing?"

I said I remember, isn’t it the one hidden in the Ashoka Pagoda?

He flicked the cigarette ash off his head, took a look in the room, and then said: "That's right, my plan after the year was to go to Sichuan, to the deep mountains around Muya, to find the Xiwu'er that Li Xian left behind. Ruins, look for those stone buildings drawn on the sheepskin map."

Coughing his head twice, he wiped out the soot on the wall, and continued: "We dug up the Lingwu Tears Buddha in Heishui City. According to common sense, when Li Xian fled with thousands of party members, he should have taken them with him. Some treasures in the Xingqing Mansion at that time, it is very possible."

"So... head on your head what do you mean?"

He turned his head and looked into the room again, and said: "Old Xue is indeed my junior brother. I know him well. He won't come to beg me if he encounters difficulties. Although I am the leader of our team, I won't go my own way. This matter, It's up to you to decide."

Why can't I see that he has his head on his mind. He wants to help his junior brother, but he is afraid that we will not be happy, so he is embarrassed to say it and leaves the decision to me.

The question is, is there a tomb in that ghost place?If there is a large tomb, we should go there. If not, it is not appropriate to just go there to find someone we don't know.

This matter was not settled that night, my uncle Xue lived next door.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, I received several New Year's greeting calls.

"Happy New Year Xiang Yunfeng, what are you doing?"

"What's wrong? Miss me?"

"Tch, who misses you? I'm just asking. By the way, I'm done with my mother's funeral, and I borrowed money from my brother to rent a stall in the live poultry market. I'm going to continue selling chickens."

I said selling chickens is good, and it’s better to go back to your old job than to be a security guard in a steel factory.

"I....."

Xiaojijiao was silent for 2 minutes, and suddenly seemed to muster up her courage, and said, "I want to talk to you about friends."

"What do you mean? We were originally friends." I said.

Xiaojijiao suddenly shouted: "Xiang Yunfeng! You are such a fool..." He hung up after cursing.

I thought to myself, what kind of person is this? He doesn't give me New Year's greetings, say congratulations and fortune, and scolds me.

Just after I hung up, someone called me again, why did all the calls to me were women, this time it was Bai Xiqiong.

After thinking about it, I didn't answer it, and the phone rang twice and stopped ringing.

"Uncle! Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Haha! Nephew, I'll give you New Year's greetings! Give you a red envelope!" Bean Sprouts laughed loudly in the room.

Xiaoxuan was sitting on the sofa, looking down at the quiet mobile phone in her hand, looking a little at a loss.

"cough!"

"Why is Xiaoxuan in a daze? I'll wish you a new year and give me a red envelope."

Xiaoxuan sniffled, smiled and asked me to kowtow to her, and she gave me a five-yuan red envelope.

I didn't do it at first, but I did it later because she gave too much.

Back in my room late at night, I opened the window, with a cigarette in my mouth, watching the night view of Yulin with fireworks constantly rising.

The lights are on in front of every house, and adults can vaguely see adults leading children, walking around the streets and alleys to give New Year greetings.

Popping out the cigarette butt, I closed the window casually.

Listening to the joyful crackling of cannons outside, I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep and lost sleep.

I sat cross-legged on the bed alone and turned on the TV, changing channels to watch in boredom.

"Ugh?"

I suddenly remembered one thing.

Quickly put on my shoes and find my bag from under the bed.

Turning on the desk lamp, I flipped through the notes that Master Wu had left for me.

After turning through dozens of pages, I lowered the desk lamp and stared blankly at the content recorded on it.

On the note, a landmark was clearly written in small characters.

"Hunan Province, Dao County, Xianglinpu Town, south of Tianguangdong Village, Guizailing Slope."

And in this place name, I don't know who it is.

Draw a big red circle.
