I was startled by his cry, and I couldn't help but pause. At this moment, he suddenly rushed over like crazy, knocked me backwards, and I took more than ten steps back. Finally, he sat down on the ground and looked at Lao Chu again. He had already picked up the copper rod, quickly wrapped it in cloth, and stuffed it into his backpack.

I was really angry. If the direction of his collision just now was just a little bit wrong, he would have knocked me directly into the bonfire. He had no scruples and just hit me like this, which shows that in his heart, my safety was still in danger. Not as good as a stick. I sat up and yelled: "**! What the hell are you doing! What is this?! Will it kill you if you take a look at it?"

Lao Itch's answer was very abominable. He was stunned for a long time and said: "This is... this is a treasure passed down from our family. Outsiders can't touch it."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but want to have a fit. I squeezed my fist tightly to swallow the breath. Then I looked at Lao Itchi's expression, which was shining brightly, as if I really thought he could get away with this excuse.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he thought I didn't believe it, and smiled awkwardly: "Really, I'm not going to lie to you, this thing... was passed down to me by my grandma..."

I couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "What the hell! What kind of treasure! Your grandma buried the treasure in the Qinling Mountains, and then asked you to dig it up? Old itch, we have been friends since childhood, you lied to me like this, you **** What kind of medicine did I take wrongly in Tuyaozi?"

When I scolded him, I kept pointing my hand at the place where he had just dug, so that he understood that I already knew everything about what he had just done.

Lao Itch's face suddenly became very ugly. After a long time, he stammered: "You...it turns out you already know! Lao Wu, ugh...I'm ashamed. Actually, I didn't want to hide it from you."

I sneered, "What do you mean you don't want to hide it from me? You don't want to hide it from me. Did I force you to hide it from me?"

Lao Itch scratched his head and said helplessly: "Don't get angry. Things are different from what you think. Please listen to my explanation slowly."

I was very angry in my heart, wondering what could possibly be different about this kind of thing. The facts are in front of me. You obviously had other purposes for entering Qinling Mountains. You didn’t tell me the real situation, but treated me as someone who could An idiot who takes advantage of you!

For a moment, I even wanted to turn around and leave, go back overnight, as if I had never met him, but then I thought about it, there is really no benefit to me being so impulsive, not to mention whether I can find the way back alone. , even if I find it, this matter will become a thorn in my side, and it will make me uncomfortable for at least several months.

So I said coldly: "Okay! I listen to your explanation, but it is different from what I thought. It's up to me to judge."

There was an angry look on Lao Itch's face,

His temper was not bad to begin with, but when he scolded me like this this time, it was really because he felt wrong that he didn't reply. If it was normal, he might have started a fight.

When I saw his lackluster expression, I actually felt violent. I couldn't help but feel shocked. I reminded myself secretly not to push too hard. He had a gun on him. If he got angry, I don't know what would happen. things.

He looked at me with a gloomy face. It took him a long time to calm down. He took out two bottles of soju from his backpack, threw one to me, took two sips, and then said, "Lao Hu, I thought our friendship for so many years was nothing." Things can be ruined, and I feel really uncomfortable if you say that to me."

I felt a hint of irony in his words, which made me angry, and said coldly: "Do you think I feel comfortable? Lao Itch, I can tell you, I have never trusted anyone else as much as I do. You, your kid actually took advantage of me, you’re such an idiot.”

He laughed and said: "Use? What he said is too complicated. In fact, besides money, I have another purpose in returning to Qinling Mountains. For this purpose, guarding is my personal matter. I have no relationship with him." You said, that’s it, does that count as using you?”

I sarcastically said: "What's your personal purpose, just to dig out a stick here?"

My mouth was very wicked, and although I was thinking not to push him too hard, I couldn't help but throw the words away.

Unexpectedly, he nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!"

I heard this and sneered: "Why do you have to do this kind of thing secretly alone? Is there anything you can't tell me? Do you think I will compete with you for this stick?"

He sat down and was silent for a long time before saying: "It's a long story. This stick was actually poured out of the tomb by my old cousin from Jiangxi. The process involved was discussed with me last time. You have said it, but there is one detail that I did not tell you. At that time, we tried to move the copper tree but failed, but my old cousin insisted that this thing was very unusual, so he used a diamond saw. , sawed off a branch."

I frowned. These people can be said to be the most unqualified group among the entire class of tomb robbers. They are also the largest group. It is a common thing to destroy a unique treasure for a few thousand dollars. I mean Pointing to his backpack, he asked him: "You mean, that branch is the one you dug out?"

Lao Itch nodded and continued: "After my old cousin sawed this thing off, he held it close to his body every day, treating it like a treasure. He didn't even let me take a look at it. He also said that all other things belong to me, and this thing is for me." He was fine. I thought he was too happy at the time and didn't pay attention. We just kept rushing out. At first, my cousin suddenly became a little nervous. Gradually, I found that he seemed to be getting more and more nervous. Going crazy..."

When Old Itch said this, he suddenly raised his head and asked me: "Old Wu, do you believe that there is such a thing as vaginal contraceptive pills in this world?"

I listened for a while, and it took me a long time to remember what a Yin person was.

According to legend in my hometown, the so-called Yin people are people who work for the Lord of Hell in the human world. On the surface, such people need to eat and sleep just like ordinary people, but they can talk to ghosts. There is only one way to tell them apart. That is, when they sleep, their shoes are placed under the bed with the toes facing inward.

Of course, this is just a legend, and there are different versions in various places. I have always listened to it for fun and never taken it seriously, so I shook my head and said that I didn't understand it.

Lao Itch continued: "My old cousin started to become a little nervous after taking the branch of the copper tree. He always said that he heard... someone talking around him, but you know, at that time There were only two of us. In this ghost place, no one would speak. I couldn't hear him but he could. This situation became more and more serious. Until we walked out of the mountain, he could not only hear people talking, but also I can see some strange shadows. I want my old cousin to see a psychiatrist, but he is a very superstitious person and will not listen to me at all. He concludes that he was selected by the Lord of Hell and became a ghost. Man, what he sees and hears are lonely ghosts in the world of the sun."

I said: "Audio hallucinations and hallucinations are serious schizophrenia phenomena."

Lao Chi smiled and said to me: "Actually, before he was imprisoned, he was already very abnormal. He would often say some incomprehensible words and talk to the air. Once in the hotel restaurant, he shouted alone There was a table of dishes, and he forced the waiter to bring four sets of cutlery. He said he was eating with three friends, but in fact, there were no people sitting in the other three seats. He was chatting happily there, scaring the waiter half to death. ."

My spine went cold after hearing this: "Do you think his schizophrenia was caused by this stick?"

Lao Itch said: "I don't know, but in that fight, he and I went everywhere together. I touched everything he touched, except for the branch of the copper tree, I touched it from beginning to end. I haven’t touched it, so I think his schizophrenia must be related to this stick.”

Seeing my confused expression, he continued: "When we came back that time, our last stop was this shack. Just like you, I got up to pee in the middle of the night and found that my old watch was missing. Then I went out to look for it. I found him filling in the soil where I was just standing."

He paused and asked: "Old Wu, tell me the truth. If I told you this thing early in the morning, would you agree with me digging this thing out again?"

I was speechless by his question, and I asked myself again in my mind. The answer was obvious. If I had known about this matter in advance, not only would I not have touched the stick, but I would not have beaten him to death. To touch.

Lao Itch took out a cigarette and said with a smile: "I think I know your character very well, that's why I got up secretly in the middle of the night. I really don't want to lie to you, but if you know these things, you will definitely not You asked me to go, do you understand now?"

I was so robbed by him that I couldn't speak. It took me a long time to say: "Just think what you said makes sense, but if you do this, it also-" I also wanted to ask him why he lied to me about the pistol, so I saw him He took out the gun, pointed it at his cigarette, pulled the trigger with a click, and a ball of green smoke came out.

He took two puffs, lit the cigarette, and said, "What I did was a bit wrong, but it's not serious enough to sentence me to death, right?"

I had nothing to say, but I didn’t expect that in the end, I was the one who was at a loss for words. I changed the topic and asked him: "Then what are you going to do now? Are you going to risk touching this stick?"

Lao Itch showed a very strange expression and said softly: "I don't know, although I am wearing gloves, as soon as my hand touches this stick, I have a special feeling, as if we are not the only ones in this shack. Two people……!"

As he said that, he took out the stick from his bag, blew on it, and said: "I don't know if wearing gloves will help. Maybe I have been hit. You tried to take it just now, and I was scared. That's why I I bumped into you, if you go crazy, I really don’t know how to explain it to your family."

Halfway through his words, the expression on his face suddenly froze, his eyes looked directly behind me, and an inexplicable sound came from his throat.

I felt a chill running down my spine and goosebumps all over my body. I turned my head sharply, but there was nothing behind me.

I felt baffled, so I turned around to look at Lao Itchi, only to find him looking at me with a wicked smile. I immediately realized that I had been tricked, and couldn't help but get angry and cursed: "Damn it, you kid is too chatty. ."

Lao Itch stood up while laughing and waved to me: "Actually, after my old cousin touched this copper rod, it was still normal for a long time. I think it will take some time for this copper rod to take effect. ."

I said, "You are too desperate. Even if I prove to you that this thing can make people crazy, what good will it do to you? Do you think you can win the Nobel Prize?"

Lao Chu smiled naively, took out an envelope from his bag, and handed it to me.

I opened it and took a look, and found that there were only two lines written on it. It was very sloppy. I could barely tell that the first line was the name of his cousin, and the second line was a paragraph of vernacular text, "Axie, please don't do it." Go back, there are evil spirits in that tomb!"
