Crossing Mountains and Mountains in the Sea of ​​Sand

The warm fire was crackling and popping sparks from time to time. It was already past three o'clock in the morning. Wu Xie, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly woke up, slowly opened his sore eyes, and shook himself vigorously. Still with a sleepy head, he sat up.Looking around, she found that Jiang Xiaoqiao was sleeping curled up on the rattan bed next to her, Fatty Wang was leaning against the wall, holding a weapon and sleeping soundly, but Lao Xie was not in the room, Wu Xie's heart sank. , so late, where will he go?Wu Xie picked up a short knife with a vigilant expression, and in the other hand held the flashlight that Lao Tioke bought earlier.Cautiously walking out of the wooden shed, Wu Xie was holding a mountain climbing lamp, which had a very strong penetrating power, and could be seen even tens of meters away several times

The large forest in front of him was like a sea, swaying like waves under the blowing of the wind, one after another, and it looked even more desolate under the dim moonlight.At this time, Wu Xie's eyes couldn't help but be sharp, because not far in front of him, he could clearly see this special flashlight light, it's probably an old itch, but what is he still doing here so late?

Quietly lowered his body, and approached the place where the light was bright, it really was itchy.He put the flashlight on the branch of the tree, and he himself was digging something with the tool with his head down.If it was in the past, Wu Xie would have walked out without saying a word, looking for Lao Tick to argue with, but now Wu Xie saw the earthen nipple that Lao Tick had unintentionally exposed on his waist

Looking at the gun, Wu Xie felt even colder in his heart. Since he was a child, he regarded Lao Xie as an iron buddy who grew up wearing a pair of pants, but now he seems to have many secrets that he has not told himself. To be honest ,feel bad.Wu Xie couldn't help thinking back to the time when he came to find him until now. The old itch in the past was always careless, but now it seems that he is actually very thoughtful, and it can be said that he hides it deeply.

Xie Ziyang, who had been digging for quite a long time, heard a "ding" from the shovel, threw the shovel aside with joy, squatted on the ground, and took out a branch that seemed to be made of metal from the pit. , hastily wrapped it in a cloth, and stood up

Seeing this, Wu Xie, who was hiding behind, immediately turned around and quietly left and returned to the wooden shed, as if nothing had happened.

===================================================================================================================================== ==========

"Hey! You're finally back!" Jiang Xiaoqiao stood with Fatty Wang, who was holding a weapon, in panic. Hearing the sound of the wooden door opening, the two looked at Wu Xie defensively.

"Ah?... What's wrong?" Wu Xie, who hurried back to the house, saw the two men on guard, and couldn't help but think too much. Could it be that the villagers really came to cheat?Or the fact that Uncle Tai's group of people came really made Wu Xie a little impatient

"Where the hell have you gone? Xiao Qiao and I woke up and saw that you were all gone. We were in a hurry. We were about to go out and find out that there are wild monkeys here!" Fatty Wang held up the weapon in his hand and looked at Wu. The evil mouth tsk tsk, still refused to let go of vigilance

"By the way, where have you been? Why is Xie Ziyang gone?" Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at the thoughtful Wu Xie and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Ah...I..I went to the bathroom." Wu Xie scratched his head, laughing at the responder Jiang Xiaoqiao

Just as a few people were talking, the wooden door rang again, and Xie Ziyang, who had been listening outside for a long time, came in. Wu Xie suddenly stopped talking and just looked at Xie Ziyang, the air suddenly seemed to freeze.Although Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't know what was going on, she still had this wink.

"...Old Itchy, where have you... gone?" The awkward atmosphere was finally broken by Wu Xie's words, and Xie Ziyang who came back later seemed to have an expression that he had expected, and finally sighed and sat down.Unexpectedly, the copper stick he put in the cloth bag fell off, and rolled to the opposite Jiang Xiaoqiao's feet. In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Jiang Xiaoqiao bent down to pick it up. The little stick was startled by a panicked shout.

"Don't touch it!" Seeing that he was about to bend down to touch the thing with his bare hands, Xie Ziyang shouted in panic, stopping Jiang Xiaoqiao who was about to touch the wooden stick

"Ah~" Jiang Xiaoqiao, who originally wanted to do good things obediently, was also startled by this yell. She backed up and almost fell. The man in question is not the stumbling and soft-spoken Xie Ziyang.

"Do you want to touch it with your hands or not?" Wu Xie said with doubts that could not be concealed, and looked at Xie Ziyang's black leather gloved hand with a dark look.

Xie Ziyang lowered his head and trotted to Jiang Xiaoqiao, knelt down and wrapped the thing again with a cloth. His expression was a little lonely and sad. He walked to a stone in the distance and stared straight at the thing in his hand, as if he had been enchanted. generally.Xie Ziyang's strange behavior made Jiang Xiaoqiao and Fatty really puzzled, but the two of them didn't say a word, they just stayed aside quietly, because at this time, they could only let his best buddy - Wu Xie come to ask

"Let's talk." Wu Xie also sat down, his breath was no longer as gentle as before, and his words also exuded air-conditioning, it can be seen that he was very dissatisfied

Xie Ziyang took out the copper branch in his hand, "I came to Qinling this time, and there is another more important reason besides money." After that, his black eyes stared straight at the thing in his hand, like a rare treasure

"...Could it be this little wooden stick?" Jiang Xiaoqiao, who was frightened by Xie Ziyang's roar just now, poked her head out from behind Fatty Wang, and asked in a low voice.

Xie Ziyang raised his head and looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao, who was hiding behind Fatty Wang, who was talking cautiously towards this direction. Thinking of his appearance just now, he felt a bit sour in his heart, and smiled helplessly.

"Wu Xie, my cousin from Jiangxi, do you remember?... At that time we came here to fight, and we accidentally dug it off during the excavation process, so we got this bronze branch. Ever since we touched this bronze branch , my cousin took it with him all day long, he was nervous all day long, and in the end he became up all the time...Wu Xie, do you want to believe that there are yin people in this world?" Xie Ziyang wrinkled Frowning, with a trace of painful memories on his face, he finally raised his head and eyes filled with despair like a deep pool, staring at Wu Xie

Wu Xie's heart, which was still very angry at first, disappeared when he saw the despair in Xie Ziyang's eyes. All he could think of was Xie Ziyang's bright eyes when the two of them were playing together. Compared with now, Wu Xie was not alone at all. I can't help but wonder, what has he experienced in the past three years?What made him what he is today?

"Nene, fat brother, what is a yin person?" Jiang Xiaoqiao quietly tilted her head and asked Fatty Wang next to her.

"Well, I heard people say that Yin people are people who work for Lord Hades in the Yang world. On the surface, they are no different from ordinary people, but they can talk to ghosts. There is only one way to distinguish them. Put it under the bed, and the toe of the shoe is facing in." Fatty Wang heard Jiang Xiaoqiao's words, thought for a while, and then whispered into Jiang Xiaoqiao's ear

"Yan Wangye?...All right?" Jiang Xiaoqiao frowned after listening to Fatty Wang's explanation. At first, she wanted to say that Newton's coffin would not be able to hold it down. Later, thinking about her own experience, she felt that Newton The coffin has been overturned long ago, so let's listen to them obediently

"My old cousin has become neurotic since he took the bronze branch. At that time, there were only two of us, but he always said that he heard the third voice. I felt something was wrong and took him away. .

But when we walked out of the mountain, he could not only hear people talking, but also see shadows, which really scared me.

...Later, I wanted to take him to see a psychiatrist, but he refused to go, always saying that he was a yin man chosen by the Lord of the Underworld, and those were all lonely ghosts." Xie Ziyang said with a painful face

"Hallucinations and hearing impairment, this is serious schizophrenia!" Wu Xie was also shocked after hearing this.

Xie Ziyang smiled, shook his head, and said that his cousin was already a little out of order before he went in. Did he talk to the air? Three people set up tableware in four sets, which not only scared his own people into a cold sweat, but also scared others. afraid to approach

"So, you think it's the bronze branch?" Wu Xie felt cold sweat all over his body.

Xie Ziyang looked helpless, "I touched all the things he touched when we were together, except for the bronze branch, and this wooden shed was the last place we passed by when we went back last time. I was the same as you that night I got up and accidentally found him filling the place where I was standing."

"Besides, if I tell you, you will definitely not let me come, and you will never let me dig out this copper branch." Xie Ziyang paused, and then looked out the window with a tired face.

After hearing this, Wu Xie didn't say a word, and lowered her head, as if Xie Ziyang had already said what was in her heart.At this time, Xie Ziyang silently took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lowered his head to hold one in his mouth, and took out the nipple around his waist. With a 'snap' sound, a pinch of blue fire spewed out and ignited. Learn about Ziyang's smoke

"The point is, what should we do now?" Jiang Xiaoqiao was a little tired from hearing this, and sat on one side of the bed, hugged her leg, tilted her head and looked at the two people opposite, but at this moment, Xie Ziyang stared at him without saying a word. Behind Wu Xie, that is, next to Jiang Xiaoqiao, there was a strange expression on his face

In an instant, Jiang Xiaoqiao's heart was about to stop in fright, and cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead. Wu Xie suddenly turned around, and saw Jiang Xiaoqiao with a frightened face. Then he realized what was going on. He turned his head and said to Xie Ziyang angrily. , "Are you crazy, kid?"

"Hahaha, just kidding. Xiao Qiao, I'm sorry, don't be afraid. I wanted to scare Wu Xie, but I didn't expect to scare you first. I yelled at you just now. Don't be angry. When I get out, I'll take you to eat." Eat." Xie Ziyang hurriedly raised his hands to express his surrender, and looked at the frightened Wu Xie with a smile on his face, Jiang Xiaoqiao

"You bastard, don't frighten people, be careful I'll beat you to death!" Fatty Wang was already in a cold sweat from the fright, despite his size, but this person is really as easy to be frightened as Jiang Xiaoqiao, and angrily said Xie Ziyang waved his weapon

"Okay, that's right," he said and handed an envelope to Wu Xie

Wu Xie took it, and after reading the letter in the envelope, Jiang Xiaoqiao no longer wanted to know what was written in the solemn expression on his face, but Fatty Wang couldn't bear it and asked

"Wu Xie, stop pretending to be a ghost, tell me quickly, what is written in it?"

Wu Xie didn't say a word, but just handed over the envelope. Fatty Wang took the envelope with a look of disdain. After seeing the contents inside, his expression was not much different from Wu Xie's, as dignified.
