We are in the fourth grade, and there are more students in the class, which means that there will be more students coming to our school, and they will walk more every day. I heard that several students in our school have to walk twice a day. Half an hour to and from school, and most of them are mountain roads.
Fortunately, all the wolves in our mountain were wiped out at that time, otherwise the safety of children going to school would be a problem.
Speaking of these students, one of them is from our class. His name is Zhao Liangliang, and his nickname is "trousers". The reason why he is called "trousers" is because he wears long trousers, and the trousers are always rolled up. Cut, so everyone used his habit to call him.
Zhao Liangliang is a very cheerful person. He doesn't belong to me, Zhao Jie and Shang Haoming, so he quickly integrated into our group. Zhao Liangliang told us that on the way to school, he often He will pretend to be a ghost to scare the girls who go with him.
The so-called pretending to be a ghost means that he runs a few steps and hides in a thorny pile on the way home. When the girls pass by, he suddenly jumps out and shouts, or hides in the thorny pile to learn some strange calls. Voice.
They had to walk for more than two hours to get home. When they got home, it was going to be dark, so it was really scary to hear a few strange screams when the lights were dark.
But over time, the girls who were traveling with them were not so afraid. Instead, they would yell at Zhao Liangliang when they heard the strange noise, and then threw stones into the pile of thorns.
But one day Zhao Liangliang told Zhao Jie and me about such a thing.
At that time, it was already late autumn and early winter, it was dark early, and it was often windy, so when the pants were on the way home, there was no interest in scaring people, mainly because it was too cold.
The trousers followed a few male and female classmates in their village and went home. When they walked to a place called Huaishu Ridge, a few girls started to scold the trousers for being neurotic. The trousers were stunned. He didn't do anything, why did he scold himself?
So I asked the girls why they were scolding me, and one of them said, "Why, it's such a cold weather, what the hell are you calling me, scaring people to death?"
The bottom of his trousers wondered. He had been keeping his mouth shut just now. In this cold weather, he just wanted to hurry home and make a noise? But several girls said he was "ghostly barking", could it be that he couldn't help but scream
Thinking of this, he didn't refute the bottom of his pants, but he subconsciously sped up a few steps. He was going to hide in a place in front of him to really frighten these girls once, in order to avenge the scolding just now.
But the trousers had just walked a few steps when one of the girls shouted and scolded the trousers again: "Damn trousers, you can't do it if you stop screaming, it hurts my ears, and you can't learn anything, learn it. The child is crying, it is dark today, you are not afraid of attracting wolves."
"The child is crying?" The bottom of his trousers was also startled. He was very sure that he didn't make a sound just now, let alone that the child was crying, but the girl said she heard...
The bottom of his trousers could not help but stand up, but he dared to pretend to be a ghost to scare people, which means that he is not small, so he thought for a while and thought that it might be a group of girls to scare him, after all, he often scare a few girls Yes, it is also possible for people to unite now to take revenge.
Thinking about it, he asked a younger boy next to him if he heard a voice, and the boy shook his head and said, "No."
This time the bottom of the pants was more certain that several girls joined forces to scare him, so he quarreled with a few girls and ran home.
Since their village is far from the school, the children of their village always have to go to school together. The next day, they go to school together, but when they reach Huaishu Ridge, several girls start to scold the bottom of their pants again, and the bottom of their pants is In a hurry, he said: "You look at my mouth, and then listen to the voice, you can see if I sent it."
Several girls stared at the bottom of the pants for a while, and then one of them said, "You look at us, we can't hear the sound, and when you carry us behind your back, you hear the cry of a child, and you say it's not you?"
This time, the bottom of the trousers was also pissed off, and several girls even united themselves.
For the next few days, as soon as they walked to Huaishu Ridge, the girls scolded the bottom of their pants. Not only the bottom of the pants, but even the girls found out that something was wrong.
So they told the adults in the village about it. The adults in the village took the children to and from school for two days, and the sound stopped. In addition, the adults also searched around the road in Huaishu Ridge. Didn't find it either.
But after a few days, the adults stopped sending them, and the sound came back again. This time, the children were terrified, but fortunately nothing came out to hurt them, so every time they went there, they covered it. The ears ran back.
Later, they also told the adults in the village, and the adults advised the children to take a detour. Sure enough, as soon as the children took a detour, the sound disappeared.
But one day, in order to rush back after school, which way did they go, and this time a few of them, both male and female, heard the child's cry: "Wow, wow, wow..."
The child's cry was shrill, bitter, and pitiful.
After they all heard this voice, a few of them would no longer dare to leave that road.
It took less than half a month for this incident to happen from the first time a few girls scolded the trousers, to when they heard it collectively, and that day the trousers talked about it in our class again. After reading it again, there were many students listening to the story next to him. After listening to the trousers, they all asked him, "What happened later, what happened later?"
Even the most beautiful You Xiaoqing in our class came over and asked, "Have you seen that crying child?"
Seeing the attention of so many people, the bottom of the trousers felt that his purpose had been achieved, and he said, "What happened later, we plan to never cross Huaishu Ridge again, it's too scary."
A boy in our class said: "Pants, you can't brag, my uncle is from your village, he will come to the village from time to time, and he also passes by Huaishu Ridge, why didn't I hear what you said about the child crying? ?"
Hearing that someone doubted himself, he immediately became anxious: "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. After school today, let's go to Huaishu Ridge with us to see if you can hear the child cry?"
The man shook his head: "I'll go with you, then I won't be able to go home at night, so I won't go."
Zhao Jie and I also believed in the story told by the trousers. After all, we are all people who have seen ghosts, but Shang Haoming is firmly skeptical, which made the relationship between the trousers and Shang Haoming once The matter fell into the Cold War.
The four of us have a good relationship. Later, I thought of a note, looking for a weekend, we will meet in Huaishuling, and then we will investigate the situation in the Huaishuling area.
When I first proposed it, Zhao Jie and the trousers were somewhat opposed. Zhao Jie was afraid because he had seen ghosts, and the trousers was because he had really heard the cry of the child, and he was also a little afraid of encountering something, but Shang Haoming But He readily agreed, saying that he wanted to completely expose the true face of the bragging king.
Hearing what Shang Haoming said, he quit his trousers and said, "I'm going, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"
So the four of us voted in favor of three, and Zhao Jie with one vote against, and finally decided to go to Huaishu Ridge for the weekend.
Of course, we can't talk about this at home. If we did, my father and mother would definitely disagree. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jie came to me and said that he was going to the school to find our old brother Shang Haoming. Play, so my father and mother have no objection.
The three of us met at school, and we walked to the village at the bottom of the trousers. As for how to get there, the three of us didn't know the way very well. We could only rely on the narration given by the trousers, plus a scribbled map. to find.
It is a map, but it is actually a few lines and a few points, and then it is written that there is something iconic at a certain corner after passing through the village. In short, it is a very complicated map, until many years later. I turned out that map again, and I admired how he found Huaishu Ridge with such a thing.
In fact, the place where we met with trousers was at the place where they took a detour. That place was also called Huaishu Ridge, but it was on another mountain ridge, not the one I heard the child call.
The so-called Huaishu Ridge is actually composed of seven or eight hills. There are only two roads and only one haunted.
It was the unhaunted mountain that we had an appointment with. After meeting, Zhao Jie and Shang Haoming were glad that we found the right way and didn’t go to the haunted mountain first.
He did not come to see us by himself, but brought a boy from their village. He was two years younger than us and only in the second grade. He was a follower of the trousers. As for his name, I really can't remember.
After we met, the bottom of the pants said, "Why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Shang Haoming said angrily: "It's not that broken map you drew, what is it? If we didn't ask people on the way, we wouldn't be able to find this place..."
The trousers didn't care about our late arrival, so he pointed to a hill not far away and said, "The haunted road I said is on the hill over there. It's up to you to choose whether to go or not. Don't say I didn't warn you."
I smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I have a baby here to protect myself."
As I said that, I took out a copper coin and a small compass. These are the treasures that Master Ge and Zhou Tong gave me.
The trousers asked me what it was, and I said, "This is a treasure, the treasure left by my adoptive father to subdue demons and eliminate demons. In this way, Zhao Jie and Shang Haoming, you two use this compass, the trousers, you and your village. This boy uses this copper coin, remember not to lose it for me, it's all very valuable."
Handing them things, they asked me at the bottom of my pants, "How about you? Don't you need it?"
Zhao Jie said, "Hey, Xiaoyong, he still has a baby on his neck."
After Zhao Jie finished speaking, I also smiled and took out the doll jade from my neck and touched it.
When I was almost ready, I said to the bottom of my pants, "Okay, you lead the way, we'll go find out."
