Mal Mountain is not far away, the snow road is difficult, and it takes only an hour and a half to reach the foot of the mountain. The mountain is very low, and even snow has not accumulated. At the foot of the mountain, there are still a few people who have just raised the smoke, and one or two small shops. Li Shiyi bought some dry food in the shop, and then asked the owner of the change. The boss was not surprised that someone came to look for the tomb. He didn't raise his head to the northeast, and didn't say anything.
Li Shiyi thanked him according to his words, and after a few people left, the uncle nestled on the rattan chair and glanced at them with drooping eyelids.
Winding up along the mountain road, after half a cup of tea, there is a fork in front of the road. The road is not paved with bluestone slabs, and there are no barriers. Pedestrians stepped out.
The youngest Tu jumped over first and said excitedly, "It must be this way."
The curled yellow leaves and the dry branches were rattled, and the wind was still whistling, but it was not too biting. Occasionally, the noon sun pierced down, as if it was a bit sunny in Peiping. A few steps west along the trail, a small cave appeared in front of you.
Li Shiyi glanced at it and understood that this was the shape of a Han tomb in a cave. The cave tomb is built on the mountain, and the opening is a mausoleum, which is very different from the ordinary underground tomb.
The road is lined with yellow and white gravel, forming a very simple fan-shaped entrance. In the middle is a half-dead tree with a crooked neck, which may not be shaken twice when the wind blows. It was sealed with rusted and mottled iron sheets, which did not fit well with the tomb, as if it was covered by villagers in the mountains.
The youngest Tu got Li Shiyi's wink, rubbed his hands and stepped forward, wiped two sweats on the rough cloth trousers, grabbed the iron door handle with both hands, and pulled it away with a loud shout.
The play was done well, but the door was not heavy, and it dissipated with just a little force, and slammed on the ground with a bang, and even the movement was not very big.
Youngest Tu was a little embarrassed, he sneered twice and retracted his hand, wiped the rust on his palm, and let Li Shiyi and the others in.
In front of him was a dark, invisible cave, and the top of the cave was not much higher than Li Shiyi. Mr. Tu lit the lamp according to the light outside, and saw Li Shiyi slightly hooked his neck, as if the top that was not too high was a little oppressive. of.
This cave is very strange. It doesn't have the cool breeze of an ordinary cave, and it doesn't reveal a bit of gloom. It's even warmer than the outside.
Although it was not cold, it was getting darker and darker, and the light of the oil lamp was only enough to cover the sight of the half-length man. The sound of footsteps stepped inside, and the echoes that swayed were really scary, and Mr. Tu felt a little frightened, so he found a topic and asked Li Shiyi: "Eleventh sister."
"Um?"
"Have you noticed that every time we go to the tomb, we don't have to dig holes." He had heard of books before, that people who eat this line of food, it's a gold-divided acupuncture point, what kind of black zhezi probes the yin claws, it's called a technique.
Li Shiyi glanced at him: "But I realized that every time you get nervous, you will call 'you'."
The youngest Tu stopped angrily: "Is there such a thing?"
A Yin sneered and said nothing. Song Nineteen was not used to the dark environment, so he walked very carefully, with two fingers against the wall of the rock cave, with his head down and his eyes wide open to stare at the road, his chin was about to touch his chest.
Li Shiyi was a little strange. In the past, she used to behave like her, and if the road was difficult, she would be clamoring to hold hands, but now she is stingy and walks side by side, without saying a word to her.
Thinking of this, Li Shiyi pursed the corners of his mouth again, thinking that they had been together for less than a month, but this "usual" was also when she was ten years old.
She was a little disappointed for no reason. When she was alone, she didn't care about the "time" thing very much. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, it was just adding clothes and reducing clothes, but Song Nineteen in a strange and exaggerated way, like a human-shaped pocket watch. In front of her, let her examine the meaning of time without a trace.
From the fat white baby hugging her neck to the Pingting girl sneaking next to her now, she suddenly felt a sense of loss brought about by changes in personnel and the passage of time. Can not ignore.
She stopped and handed her hand over, her tender palm up, her slender four fingers slightly bent, a complete invitation.
Tu Laoyao stopped, the lamp shadow in his hand shook, Ayin also stared blankly at Li Shiyi's hand, Li Shiyi looked at Song Shijiu, Song Jiujin pursed his lips and stared at her fingertips .
Fortunately, Song Nineteen's daze and everyone's pause were for a moment. She didn't think about anything, and then she handed over her hand with crooked eyebrows. She held Li Shiyi's cold and dry hand and squeezed it, and her skin was delicate. It was clear that it was only a few days away, but it seemed like a reunion after a long absence.
The touch is still the same as when she was a child, but her hands are much bigger. Li Shiyi can no longer let her hold it loosely, but holds her soft four fingers with his backhand.
in an adult manner.
On the contrary, Song Nineteen flinched a little, and withdrew his fingers with Tutuo's heartbeat. Li Shiyi looked back at her for unknown reasons, and pinched the pulp of her fingers involuntarily.
The heartbeat was very disobedient. It rushed out of his ears, as if he was about to jump in an empty cave. Song Nineteen covered his ear with his left hand, and after thinking about it, he pinched the fever earlobe, and then Li Shiyi held it. She broke free and grabbed her wrist as if evading.
Better. She bit her lip and lowered her head, exhaling.
The youngest Tu, who opened the way, naturally couldn't notice Song Nineteen's hundreds of turns, so he just said to himself: "Eleventh sister, what do you do if you take the gold?"
"I don't know." Li Shiyi's voice was very pleasant. The wrist was held by Song Nineteen, and in her calm tone, the vivid throbbing of the veins beneath her skin was buried.
This feeling is amazing, as if pinching the connection that is beating somewhere unknown under her indifferent appearance.
The youngest Tu asked Ayin again, "Grandma Yin?"
A Yin held it up: "Auntie has all the clothes of the Kinmen Garment Bureau."
The youngest Tu teased her and turned to Nineteen: "What about you? Milk Nineteen?"
Song Nineteen was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Shiyi, then lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "I don't hide it from you."
"I haven't seen gold yet."
Youngest Tu let out a donkey-like laugh, stunned Song Nineteen, pinched Li Shiyi's wrist, and looked up just to see the corners of her mouth that were slightly raised in the dim light.
Song Nineteen pursed his lips and smiled, and asked Mr. Tu, "Then how do you spend it?"
The youngest Tu turned back to face her, and waved his brows with a big hand: "Le Tuo Jing brand milk replacer, have you heard of it? I heard from a few old brothers from Guangzhou before that foreign brands are no different from breast milk. I When the aunt next door was giving birth to a baby and breastfeeding, I was screaming in pain. I thought about waiting for your sister-in-law to give birth to a son. If you have money, you can buy milk replacer powder to eat. When your sister-in-law calls, you don't know, the old cow in Shilidi trembling!"
Song Nineteen was delighted, his chest trembled, he was about to speak, but he heard a loud "ah" in his ear, the sound of an old cow entering the water, and the water flowers swayed and splashed her face.
She stopped and saw the situation in front of her in the swaying light. There was a small river in front of the road. It was like a stagnant water. A few sips of water, hands raised high, holding a kerosene lamp for rescue.
When he stood still, he realized that the water was no more than thigh-high. It was flowing slowly from above his knees. Li Shiyi stretched out the other hand that was in his pocket and bent down and handed it to Mr. Tu. After all, A Yin also stepped forward and said, "Come up quickly and freeze carefully."
Youngest Tu glanced at his legs doubtfully, scratched his head and said, "This water is warm and not freezing."
The water at the entrance just now was still a little salty, and the river seemed to be connected to Haizi.
Li Shi kept getting up and retracting his hand, and Mr. Tu raised the lamp and looked around, pointing to the front and said: "There are stairs up there, I think it's a tomb, there is no other way here, it seems that you can only pass through the water. ."
Li Shiyi thought for a while, then jumped into the water and tried the depth.
He pulled his wrist out of Song Nineteen's hand, Song Nineteen dropped his hand to his leg, and twiddled the raw edges of his clothes.
Li Shiyi said: "The water is clean and not freezing." After she finished speaking, she handed A Yin his hesitant eyes, looked at her exquisite cheongsam, and asked, "Can you get down?"
A Yin snorted: "Don't ask Nineteen, but ask me? When I went down to touch the coffin, you were still being chased by the female ghost." As she spoke, she took off her high heels and hung them on her hands. He jumped into the water with a thud.
Song Nineteen said nothing, and also squatted down and stretched his legs into the river.
It was still the youngest Tu who headed and waded forward with Shui Xuanzi, one foot after another, Li Shiyi led Song Nineteen to move slowly, and A Yin followed, because the unpleasant smell of rotten shrimp in the water concealed it. nose.
The waterway was difficult, and Mr. Tu stopped screaming. He didn't dare to go out and looked at the road. Occasionally, he took a stick to pull the water, and knocked twice to check the truth. Li Shiyi's hands suddenly tightened, and when he turned around, Song Shijiu froze in place with a white face, met her eyes, licked his lips twice, and looked down, "Okay... it seems that there is something. ."
There was a slippery touch on her calf, and it slammed into her calf like a wooden stick. There was a surging sound in the water, and it became louder every second. She was silent, and the unknown fear spread from her spine. , easily spread all over the body. Li Shiyi felt the trembling in her fingertips, clenched her hand tightly, and said warmly, "Don't move."
Song Nineteen nodded and took two quick breaths, only to see Li Eleven slowly approaching her, holding her tightly with one hand, and bending down with the other, to catch the object that contradicted her with a little force.
After seeing it clearly, Li Shiyi snorted slightly and smiled softly, turned his head, and returned to look at Song Shijiu with clear eyes, and raised his brows.
"Hey! Fish." Youngest Tu approached and stared at the little fry with its tail waving in Li Shiyi's hand.
Before Li Shiyi let go, he brought his eyes closer again, blinked twice under the light, and asked curiously, "What kind of fish doesn't have eyeballs?"
Li Shiyi turned his hands and looked carefully, the body was long and flat, with a round belly and a short head: "It looks like a red scale fish."
"The red scale fish doesn't go down the mountain. It usually grows in the water of Mount Tai, so why is it here? Besides, the eyeballs are gone, and it seems to be degraded." A Yin came over.
Li Shiyi let the fish go: "There is no light in the cave, and it's been a long time, so the ability to see things can't be used, and there is some degeneration of the eyes. It's just that the fish swims here, and the river also leads to the sea, so naturally If you can swim out, there is no reason to live in the cave for a long time and even degenerate your eyes."
A Yin nodded and said yes, listening to Li Shiyi ponder: "Unless."
"Unless there is something here that attracts them to gather here."
