Record of Yin and Yang

Because his body was in too much pain, Xue Ming was moaning in pain all the time, chanting something from time to time, his mind seemed very unconscious.

"It's not...a joke..."

Gu Jiu went up to listen and only heard a few vague words repeated back and forth.

Aunt Xue pointed to Xue Ming on the bed with a heartbroken face, "Look at him now, what do you think you can ask?"

Really couldn't ask anything, Gu Jiu smiled apologetically and left Xue's house.

As for the other Zhang Tianlu, according to Zhang Chengyi, he can't even control his own saliva now, speaking has become a problem, and it is even more difficult to ask.

On the way back, Gu Jiu asked Zhang Chengyi: "What kind of person is Xue Ming? What about Zhang Tianlu? And that Li Wende."

Zhang Chengyi said: "Xue Ming is a very cheerful, a little crazy young man."

"Are people crazy?"

"It's just that I don't care about the importance of playing. Among the few people, Xue Ming is the leader. My son listens to him more if there is anything to say. Zhang Tianlu and Xue Ming play best, and he also listens to Xue Ming the most. Ming's words. As for Li Wende..." Zhang Chengyi said, with regret in his voice, "He is an honest boy, and he is relatively shy, not very talkative."

Gu Jiu asked Wu Zhiye and his son Zhang Chengyi again.

Zhang Chengyi said: "Zhiye's child likes to make noise, and he likes to join in wherever there is excitement. My son is talented, but he is actually a bit timid, and he doesn't have much opinion on weekdays. Although these children have their own shortcomings, But I don't believe that they did anything harmful."

Nanhe Village is adjacent to the mountain. Although there are fields, they often run up the mountain on weekdays. The family's half of their income comes from the mountain every year. There is also a mountain temple at the foot of the mountain. People in Nanhe Village go up to worship every year to ensure their safety.People with a little bit of conscience don't like their children to do harm to others, so Zhang Chengyi believes that the children are offending the mountain god more than harming others.

They were going to Wu's house right now, but before they arrived, they heard noises from the destination. They quickened their pace, and then bumped into a man and a woman running out of the darkness in a panic. They saw Zhang Chengyi , the woman immediately said: "Brother Zhang, what should I do! My family's career is gone!"

When Zhang Chengyi heard it, his head grew big, "Why did he disappear again!"

Gu Jiu hurriedly told the woman not to cry, "Give me a piece of clothing he wore, and we will go find it immediately."

The woman didn't know why Gu Jiu wanted clothes. She was in a state of confusion now, so she hurried back to get the clothes.Gu Jiu handed the clothes to Shao Yi, drew out the trace of Wu Zhiye's breath left on the clothes, and lit the traction incense.

The smoke drifted for a while, and finally locked in one direction.

"Where is that direction?" Gu Jiu looked at the direction the smoke was drifting away and asked.

"Mountain, on the mountain." Zhang Chengyi said with a pale face. Xue Ming and Wende also had an accident on the mountain. At that time, Xue Ming's accident happened, and it was Xue's family who looked for people everywhere, saying that Xue Ming had disappeared. At that time, the village organized experienced hunters to take the lead. Only by going up the mountain to find someone can Xue Ming be rescued in time.

Now the smoke shows that Wu Zhiye is on the mountain, which almost means that Wu Zhiye is about to have an accident.Knowing that the mountain is dangerous, why do they run up the mountain one by one?

Gu Jiu urged: "Find someone who can lead the way to take us up."

The woman whimpered and shook her head: "No one wants to."

Nanhe Village is a village of mixed surnames, there are no clans, and the unity is not strong enough. When encountering such unpredictable things, everyone chooses to be wise and protect themselves. Although it is understandable, it is inevitable.

With a sigh, Gu Jiu said, "Then call the man from your family, follow us up the mountain."

Zhang Chengyi thought of his son and said that he would go too, in case something happened to his son, he also hoped that someone could help him.

In the end, Wu Zhiye's mother called four men over. Her husband, two younger uncles and father-in-law led the way ahead and took Gu Jiu and the others up the mountain.

Under the sound of the night wind blowing the leaves, mixed with the rustling of insects and rats that came out to move at night, and the footsteps and panting of Gu Jiu and the others quickly following the smoke, this anxiety-laden bustle actually set off the Another kind of quiet.

The smoke followed the smell left by Wu Zhiye. Whatever route he walked at that time, the smoke was exactly the same, and the direction in which the smoke drifted showed that Wu Zhiye's walking route up the mountain was very messy and seemed rushed. , Panic, as if being chased by something.

"There is Yin Qi." After going up the mountain for a while, Gu Jiu noticed a trace of Yin Qi lingering around the route.

Shao Yi also nodded: "Looks like he has provoked a fetish." It was too cold in the mountains at night, so Shao Yi stretched out his hand to hold Gu Jiu and warm him up.

The voices of the two did not lower. Zhang Chengyi and the others listened, and became even more frightened. He swallowed, "Yes, is it a ghost?"

Gu Jiudao: "Feminine things are not necessarily ghosts, but ghosts are most likely."

Those words made the faces of the group of people pale even in the night.

A gust of wind came out, and Gu Jiu keenly smelled the smell of blood hidden in the wind.

The little brother who was running beside Gu Jiu and the others suddenly meowed, and it shot out as fast as an arrow off the string.

Gu Jiu and the others walked over and stood on the edge of a deep pit.Zhang Chengyi held up a lantern in his hand to illuminate the pit, and saw an unconscious young man inside.

"It's Zhiye!"

Shao Yi observed the pit, saw that there was nothing fatal and jumped down.He felt for the pulse on Wu Zhiye's neck with his fingers, and said, "He's still alive."

Uncle Wu Zhiye looked around in fear, "Why is this place again? If I remember correctly, Xue Ming fell into this pit, but I remember that this pit has already been filled?"

"Also, that child from the Li family seems to have died here as well." Second Uncle Wu Zhiye also said, he looked to the left, and then turned his head as quickly as he saw some horrible scene.

Gu Jiu looked over and saw that there was nothing on the left, only a big tree with a thick branch growing horizontally from the tree.If this is really the place where Li Wende died, then Li Wende was hanged upside down under that branch until he died.

The atmosphere of the Wu family brothers' words was so gloomy that Zhang Chengyi couldn't stand it and told them to shut up, and then they rescued Wu Zhiye from the deep pit with their cooperation.

"Zhiye! Why are you like this!" Wu Zhiye's father threw himself beside his son and cried bitterly.

Wu Zhiye was very unlucky, the pit was less than three meters deep, his legs were broken, his bones were pierced, and the blood-red skin was exposed white. When he landed, his eyes fell on a sharp knife by accident. A pair of eyes were also pierced on a branch on the ground. When he was rescued, the branch was still piercing his eyes.

Gu Jiu gave Wu Zhiye a simple treatment first. During this period, Wu Zhiye was sober for a while. He cried out and begged. From him, Gu Jiu heard what he had heard from Xue Ming and Zhang Caijun. A few words - "not", "on purpose", "joke".

Gu Jiu thought about it.

Shao Yi turned around around the deep pit, and came back to tell Gu Jiu, "There is Yin Qi lingering around, but there is no trace of Yin beings touching his body."

Judging from the words of the two Wu family brothers, this hole was dug out again by someone with a heart, and it seemed that they were just waiting for Wu Zhiye to jump in.The lingering yin energy shows that there is indeed a yin thing following Wu Zhiye along the way, but Gu Jiu thinks that in this case, "chasing" may be more appropriate than "following".Well, why did Wu Zhiye go up the mountain? Maybe he was forced out of the house by that yin thing, chasing him all the way to this side, and then forcing him to jump into this deep pit.

Looking at Father Wu who was crying heartbreakingly, Gu Jiu sighed, and found something in the four people who had the accident, that is, the symptoms of the people who had the accident were milder than the other.Li Wende died immediately; Xue Ming was paralyzed; Zhang Tianlu was cut off from his life, and his body was uncoordinated, but at least he could sit up; Wu Zhiye could barely walk in the future after his legs were connected. His eyes were blind, but his hands were still intact. of.

Now Zhang Caijun is left.

Zhang Chengyi sighed worriedly, carrying the lantern, while the Wu family took turns carrying Wu Zhiye, who was seriously injured and unconscious.

At the foot of the mountain, the other Wu family who were waiting saw Wu Zhiye, and they couldn't help but cry again. With such an injury, the rest of their lives would be more painful than death.

Back at Zhang's house, Zhang Caijun didn't wake up after being in a coma. Gu Jiu sniffed and saw that he was sleeping deeply, so he didn't wake him up for the time being. It was already night. Let him have a good night's sleep first. What can I say? Ask again tomorrow, when he left, Gu Jiu hung an amulet on him.

Before going to bed, Gu Jiu woke up the little paper people and let them go out to mark the clean-up point, while he was on the bed, discussing the matter of Nanhe Village with Shao Yi.

Gu Jiu said: "This is not offending the mountain god at all."

The mountain god is a patron saint with a compassionate heart. It protects all creatures in the mountain forest, including human beings who go up the mountain. As long as they do not cause huge losses to the mountain forest, picking and hunting are all within the scope allowed by the mountain god.Moreover, the people of Nanhe Village worship the mountain god every year, just for the accumulated incense. Even if a few young men offend the mountain god, it should be a small punishment and a big commandment, instead of killing people directly when they come up.

Shao Yi asked, "What guess do you have?"

Gu Jiudao: "At first, I also thought that even if these five people didn't offend the mountain god, they committed some evil things together, but now, I think this may be a revenge dubbed a prank."

"mischief?"

"Yes." Gu Jiu combined the words he heard, and he could infer a sentence no matter how he looked at it: I didn't mean it, I was just joking.

Gu Jiudao: "Zhang Chengyi said that Xue Ming is a crazy person, and he doesn't know how serious he is when he plays, but Zhang Tianlu absolutely obeys Xue Ming. Li Wende is the most shy and honest. When he meets Xue Ming and Zhang Tianlu with such a temperament, he is basically the one who is bullied. Wu Zhiye Zhang Caijun is timid and has no opinion. I can boldly speculate that Xue Ming and Zhang Tianlu may be playing tricks on Li Wende, and Wu Zhiye is making a fuss beside him. Zhang Caijun does not want to participate, but he dare not speak to stop him, so he can only watch. In the end, Li Wende Life was lost in the prank, and the remaining four were met with revenge."
