Through the handwriting, Li Chaiyuan can find out the emotions of the diary owner when he wrote these words.
The boy raised his head and looked at the window in front of him.
The old-fashioned wooden windows are a bit shabby and have obvious gaps.
The owner of the diary should have been squatting behind this window at the time, carefully looking down through the gap.
The courtyard of the Tulou is very large, and there is a bonfire in the middle, and a group of people should be sitting around during the meeting.
The owner of the diary saw himself in the crowd.
Come to think of it, he should have been extremely frightened at that moment.
Li Zhuiyuan opened the previous diary content, the diary is not a homework, many people will not write their names at the opening of the page, and the content of the diary is basically described from the perspective of the first person "I".
However, Li Chaiyuan was lucky, and he quickly found the name information of the owner of the diary.
[When Zhao Gong shouted "Cui Hao" and "Li Ren" out of his mouth, I turned my head to look at Li Ren, in his eyes, I saw helplessness and dissatisfaction, thinking about it, I had the same emotion in my eyes at that time.
This is probably the price that Zhao Gong didn't pay for the big guy when he announced the birth of his son and invited the big guy to dinner.
Alas, I really don't understand that his son was born in his hometown, and he can actually hold a banquet on the construction site in the air, and he is embarrassed to accept gifts.
If I had known, I should have given it.
Now I have been arranged to stay behind and can't even go home for the New Year. 】
The owner of the diary is called Cui Hao, and the person who stayed with him is called Li Ren.
Ran Dacheng originally wanted to invite the two of them to his house for the New Year, but found that these two people disappeared a few years ago.
He suspected that the two of them had deserted.
Every holiday, I miss my relatives, the local conditions are difficult, and it is not incomprehensible to secretly pick up my children and go home for the New Year.
But now, according to the contents of the diary, things are not so simple.
Now the question is:
Cui Hao and Li Ren, where are the two of them now?
Even if he was so scared that he went home, he shouldn't have no news, at least Xue Liangliang should be able to get greetings in advance.
The people living here are not ordinary workers, they are all technicians or managers. If you desert, you will desert, could it be that you can still be incognito and don't even want your unit identity?
This is a construction team, not a troops.
Therefore, most of these two people are really out of touch.
Li Chaiyuan quickly flipped through the contents of his diary during the period before the Chinese New Year.
Cui Hao's diary is full of various dissatisfaction with leaders and colleagues, and more than a dozen people are named by name.
However, in the midst of a large number of complaints, there is also a lot of work content.
One of the main reasons why the construction progress has been delayed is that accidents occur frequently on the construction site.
Today one broke his leg, tomorrow another cut off his hand, and another fell into the blender and lost his life.
Looking at it in general, there are more than a dozen people who were seriously injured in accidents, and three people lost their lives.
Combined with the scale of this project, it is already quite exaggerated.
In this context, if the construction progress can still be guaranteed, it will really be called a ghost.
Moreover, there is another thing recorded in Cui Hao's diary.
There is a Miao village nearby, and there are many people in the Miao village who come here to work to earn money.
Later, the Miao village collectively came to ask for an explanation, and the project was stopped for half a month.
This is a labor security dispute and is not the focus of Li Chaiyuan's attention for the time being.
What Li Chaiyuan noticed was the description in Cui Hao's diary:
I don't know why, but at night, the Miao village people came to the construction site, sang and danced with torches, made a lot of noise, and then fell off the construction site shelf, causing two deaths and one injury.
Cui Hao said that they should have been drunk that night.
No wonder the two sides have been fighting over this for so long, Miao Village feels that it is something that happened on the construction site, and the construction unit also feels that it is wronged.
Moreover, this matter could not be completely resolved until a year ago, and the two sides would confront each other from time to time.
Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but suspect that this application was not for technical support, but for the construction unit to find someone to throw off the burden.
As for the reason for the frequent accidents, because I haven't had time to go to the construction site to see it, I don't know if it's caused by objective construction conditions or irregular construction.
Of course, it is also possible that it is neither, but another particular trouble.
Li Zhuiyuan took the diary, went downstairs to call everyone, and handed the diary to Xue Liangliang and Tan Wenbin to read together, while he also made a brief oral introduction.
The big guy was sitting in the yard on the first floor, with a fire in the middle, and the pot was cooking food.
Ran Dacheng sent some cured pork ribs and fruits and vegetables, which were still in the rice noodle house, so Runsheng simply processed them and cooked a pot of soup and rice.
After Xue Liangliang picked up the key points in the diary and read it, he handed the diary to Tan Wenbin, he picked up the spoon and said to Li Chaiyuan while serving food to everyone:
"Xiaoyuan, if this really happens, then I can only listen to your command."
Li Chaiyuan: "Cui Hao and Li Ren are going to find out, we have to find out what happened before the Chinese New Year.
I suspect that the three Miao families did not have an accident because they were drunk on the night of the accident.
We haven't been to the construction site yet, so we have to go to the site.
However, the first thing to do now is to ensure the safety of our "nest".
You eat first."
Li Zhuiyuan got up, walked into an office on the first floor, took out paper and pen, and drew a layout diagram on the desk.
The formation has to be adapted to local conditions, especially now that Li Zhuiyuan's understanding of the formation has deepened, he wants to include the feng shui pattern as well, so that the formation can exert a higher effect.
After the design is made, it has to be broken down in foolish steps, simplifying the complex things, and then handing them over to the next level of "contractors".
When he finished drawing the picture, Tan Wenbin and the others had just finished eating.
Li Chaiyuan handed the formation map to Tan Wenbin, who turned over page by page and then subcontracted it to his next level.
This process is familiar to everyone in the team.
Soon, Tan Wenbin, Runsheng, Yin Meng and Lin Shuyou all took the formation flag and other materials to arrange according to the drawings.
In the Tulou at night, there was a crisp sound similar to the multiplication formula.
If an old man in the village passes by and hears this movement, I am afraid it will bring back memories of taking a literacy class in the past.
Xue Liangliang felt that it was not appropriate for him to sit down, so he leaned towards the young man.
"Xiaoyuan, you can find me some work too."
Li Chaiyuan took out a stack of "test strips" he drew from his pocket and handed it to Xue Liangliang:
"Brother Liangliang, you can find these talismans and stick them on the ground."
"Where exactly is it posted?"
"You are free."
"Okay, then you eat slowly."
He added some hot water to it, and then ate the pickles and sausages he brought from home.
At the position of the formation, Li Chaiyuan lit three candles, and then motioned for the big guys to rest.
When you first arrive and are unfamiliar with the environment, don't run around at night, it's better to recharge your energy and wait for dawn.
All six of them were in an office on the first floor with sleeping bags, and no one slept even if there was a ready-made bunk on the second floor.
The office door on the first floor is open, facing the yard, there is a lot of space, no matter what happens, there is always more room to maneuver.
Tan Wenbin arranged the vigil round, and the next step was to sleep.
A safe night, the rooster crowed at dawn.
After everyone washed up, they had a simple meal, and then Li Chaiyuan assigned the daytime tasks.
Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng stayed in the village to inquire.
Ran Dacheng has a tractor and will not stay in the village all the time on weekdays, Cui Hao and Li Ren may have contact with other people in the village, and this part of the clues needs to be collected.
Furthermore, since such a strange scene is recorded in the diary, it is also necessary to have a basic understanding of the local customs, background, stories and legends.
Anyway, Tan Wenbin did this, Li Chaiyuan was very relieved and didn't need to say more.
Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou went to the construction site for inspection.
Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng went to the Miao village to investigate.
Through inquiries in the village, Ran Dacheng's home was found.
On his dam, a lot of bacon is dried, and the living conditions are obviously much better than those of other villagers.
Ran Dacheng was having breakfast, but he didn't expect Xue Liangliang and the others to come over so early, and after a few quick bites, he quickly drove his tractor and drove the four people to the construction site.
The road to the construction site has been simply renovated, which is easier to walk than the road into the village, but it is also very bumpy.
On the way, Li Chaiyuan asked Ran Dacheng about the location of Miao Village.
Ran Dacheng said that the road to there was even more difficult, and he could take them there tomorrow, but Li Chaiyuan refused.
Splitting up means increased risk, and since this decision has been made, it is natural to maximize efficiency.
When they were about to arrive at the construction site, Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng got off the tractor, and there was a fork in the road from here, and they could go over the mountain to reach the Miao village.
Ran Dacheng said that he would wait here to pick them up and go back on the way back, and then continued to drive Xue Liangliang and Lin Shuyou to the construction site.
Li Zhuiyuan was not in a hurry to go to the fork in the road, but stood in place, looking at the hydropower station construction site diagonally below, and took out his compass at the same time.
Generally speaking, hydropower stations are really suitable for this kind of terrain construction, although it is not standard, but many times the water is yin.
But what makes Li Chaiyuan a little strange is that under the gathering of yin and yin gathering, there should be a sign of yin tide accumulation, but the mountains on both sides of the hydropower station are bare and desolate.
Either the flow of flow and the construction of the station broke the feng shui pattern here, or the yin tide that should have gathered was neutralized by other things...... Or called absorption.
If it is the latter, it means that there is something special at the construction site, and if it is not leveled, accidents will easily occur during construction.
Fortunately, Xue Liangliang was protected by Lin Shuyou, and when he went out to assign tasks in the morning, Li Chaiyuan also explained that he only observed and did not take specific measures, which meant that he would walk when he saw a bad thing.
"Brother Runsheng, let's go."
"Okay."
Runsheng bent down, Li Chase got on his back, and Runsheng ran.
The mountain road is rugged, but Runsheng still walks like flying.
In the eyes of people in plain areas, climbing mountains and ridges is an adjective to describe difficulties, but in the eyes of people in mountainous areas, this is their daily life.
When Ran Dacheng said to climb over a mountain, he didn't mean a hillside, this mountain had several stretches.
At Runsheng's speed, he still ran for nearly an hour before he saw the building of Miao Village on the opposite slope.
This is a Miao village that has been in contact with the outside world but has not yet been really developed, and the closer you get to it, the more you can feel a quaint atmosphere.
Brother Liangliang said that in the future, such a place will be a tourist attraction.
But that was later, at least now, when a foreigner suddenly entered their world, there was still a sense of vigilance between each other, except for curiosity and exploration.
Before they arrived at the gate of the village, someone came to ask Li Zhuiyuan and the two of them for the purpose of coming here, and the other party had a strong Chinese accent.
However, Li Chaiyuan could understand it, after all, it had been tempered in the Nantong dialect.
Li Chaiyuan told them that he was a new investigator on the construction site and came to inquire about the accident last year.
Hearing this self-introduction, there was a clear hostility in the eyes of the people around him, but an elderly man dispersed the young people and motioned to follow him.
Young people are easily guided by emotions to behave logically, but older people can understand that fighting is not the real way to solve problems.
The environment in Miao Village is full of wild beauty.
However, it is not so primitive, and the things of modern life are also available outside and here.
Especially in the yard of a house, the two children were sitting on a small bench with pencils and writing homework, and the wind in the village became a little light after blowing the illustrations on their Chinese books.
The middle-aged man led Li Zhuiyuan and the two to an old house, where an old man was sitting, and the old man was bowing his head and smoking a bamboo tube.
After a brief exchange, the old man nodded to indicate that he knew, and the middle-aged man retreated.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and when he saw Li Chaiyuan, his eyes were slightly surprised, and he asked:
"Why is there a doll?"
The old man's Chinese is very standard and fluent.
Li Chaiyuan took out his ID, which contained his student ID card and the internship certificate issued by the unit.
The old man took it over and took a closer look, and while handing the certificate back to Li Chaiyuan, he turned his head and shouted into the room:
"Amei'er, bring me some food."
There was a beautiful response from inside: "A foreign guest is coming, huh?"
Generally, only when foreign guests come, grandpa will speak Chinese.
"Well, outsider, it's amazing, smart baby."
Amei came out with food, she was as old as Yin Meng, her eyes were very bright, and she smiled like a crescent moon.
After seeing Li Chaiyuan, Amei couldn't help but reach out and touch the young man's face:
"You're so handsome."
"Cough......" The old man coughed, interrupted his granddaughter's actions, and reminded, "Although the baby is young, he is still a public person."
"Oh, this is really scary." Amei withdrew her hand and covered her mouth, expressing her surprise.
The old man handed the bamboo tube to Li Zhuiyuan.
Li Zhuiyuan shook his head and signaled that he would not smoke.
Runsheng beside him, his eyes lit up.
The old man smiled and handed the bamboo tube to Runsheng.
Runsheng hugged the bamboo tube, the old man taught him how to suck, and after Runsheng took a sip, he still felt that it was not enough, so he took out the tin box from his bag, opened it, took out a thick incense stick from it, lit it, and put it in the bamboo tube.
After sucking harder, Runsheng's face showed a comfortable and comfortable expression.
The old man was very curious.
Runsheng took out a stick of coarse incense and handed it to him.
The old man didn't try to light it and take a sip, but put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then stood up abruptly and looked at Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng with a different look:
"Two, who are you!"
From a stick of incense, you can see another layer of identity between the two, proving that the old man is not an ordinary person.
Amei looked nervous and walked to her grandfather's side.
The old man stretched out his hand and patted the back of his granddaughter's hand, and asked in a more relaxed tone:
"Two, are you here to solve that thing?"
Li Chaiyuan spoke: "Grandpa, can we sit down and have a good chat?"
"Please sit down."
After breaking away from the category of ordinary people's identities, chatting becomes easier and simpler, which is the situation that Li Chaiyuan is happy to see.
The traditional Miao family generally has two surnames, one is the Miao surname, the other is the Han surname, the old man's Han surname is Wen, and the Han name is Wenxiushan.
Just hearing this name, you know that the old man used to have a very good family background, of course, his status in the Miao village is also very high now, a bit like the head of the clan in the southern region, not only in charge of the clan affairs, but also in charge of sacrifices.
This sacrifice is obviously something, Mr. Wen is not curious about Runsheng's fragrance, but sees the subtlety in this incense.
At the beginning, in the general's tomb, Tan Wenbin used these incense to go through the back door with those ghostly relationships.
Li Zhuiyuan's self-introduction is relatively simple, saying that there are people in his family who study Xuanmen, and he will be influenced by them.
The old man obviously didn't believe in this set of rhetoric, but it was common sense not to expose his family too much when he was out of the house, so he didn't find it strange.
The two sides quickly chatted about what was happening on the construction site.
The old man said that it was after the people in the village went there to work that he realized that there was a problem with the construction site.
The three people who had the accident were also his apprentices in the village, and he originally wanted to help them solve the problem so as not to affect the construction.
After all, he knows the benefits of hydropower stations to the local area after they are built.
But who would have thought that the problem could not be solved, but was solved by the problem.
When he said this, the old man's face also showed helplessness and depression.
Without waiting for Li Chaiyuan to speak, the old man asked first: "You say, should we ask for this compensation?"
Li Chaiyuan nodded: "Yes."
It's not uncommon to ask "capable people" to drive away evil spirits and ensure safety on the construction site, but you really can't write this part of the expenditure in black and white, and no one dares to write it.
Moreover, if this kind of thing is not explained clearly in advance, it will be even more difficult to clarify afterwards.
The old man underestimated the enemy at first.
Li Zhuiyuan: "If what you said is true, then I will help you fight for compensation."
The old man waved his hand: "It's not just about compensation, there is a problem in that place, if you don't solve the problem and continue the construction, more will only happen.
Li Chaiyuan: "This is also the reason why you stopped the construction?"
Old man: "Half and half. Compensation is required, but I am also afraid that this problem will become bigger. If you build the hydropower station and pat your butt and leave, any disasters will occur here in the future, and we locals will have to bear it.
It's not that I don't know how to be flexible, nor is I unreasonable, but if some things can't be solved well, people will really continue to die."
Li Chaiyuan: "Can you describe that question more specifically?"
The old man stood up: "Let me take you to meet someone."
Under the leadership of Mr. Wen, Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng walked into the home of another family in the village.
At the door, there was an old couple sitting, and when the old couple saw the outsider, their eyes immediately widened with anger in their eyes.
Mr. Wen scolded them a few times in Miao dialect, and the old couple turned their heads away and stopped stopping.
Walking into the house, I pushed open a room, the room looked a little small, and the wooden walls seemed to be newly installed.
There was a water tank in it, and a young man was soaking in it.
The young man looked sluggish and opened his eyes when he heard the movement, but his eyes were white, and it was obvious that there was not much self-awareness left.
The tank was filled with herbs, and there were a few snakes swimming in it.
But on the outer cylinder wall, dense gray fimbriae have grown.
"I only have three apprentices, he was the only one who survived that night, and now, I can only barely maintain like this."
Li Chaiyuan asked: "Can he speak now?"
「偶爾會清醒，說些胡話。」老者將自己的手伸入水缸中，自裡頭抓出一條蛇，然後大拇指在蛇腹位置按捏。
青年眼眸里的渾濁稍稍退去，他的身體開始在缸內撲騰，嘴裡不停叫嚷的同時，神情一會兒驚恐一會兒諂媚。
他說的是什麼，李追遠聽不懂，但有一個發音，不停地重複出現——老變婆。
老者翻譯道：「他在求饒，求她不要吃了自己；還說，他的兄弟洗乾淨了，吃了他的兄弟，就不要吃他了哦。」
李追遠問道：「他喊的那個老……」
少年察覺到老者神情一變，馬上改口問道：「名字都不能說？」
老者點點頭：「說了，她就能聽到，會找上你。」
說罷，老者伸手抓住牆壁一側，將它卸下。
原來，先前打開門覺得裡頭房間比較小的原因是，房間四周，包括地板以及天花板處，都新加了一層木板。
當把這些新木板取下來后，原本房間的牆壁上，到處是爪印。
她不止一次地來過這裡，看過這個獵物。
她故意沒殺他，故意讓他生不如死地活著，甚至故意留下了自己來過的痕迹。
尋常的邪祟，行事風格可沒有這般囂張，它們鮮少出現在人群聚居處，而且還是在寨內明顯有能人的前提下。
老者帶著李追遠和潤生走出屋子。
有句話，李追遠知道自己說了沒用，但他還是得說：
「我或許有辦法，能讓他恢復正常。」
「謝謝。」老者點點頭，「但你能救得了我們全寨么？」
李追遠知道會是這樣的回答。
老者嘆了口氣，說道：「這是她的警告，人救回來的當晚，她就在屋子裡留下痕迹了。」
李追遠：「我會去嘗試處理她的。」
老者：「我不會幫你。」
李追遠：「理解，但你可以多給我一點訊息么？」
老者猶豫了一下，最終還是點點頭。
他領著李追遠回到自己家，在先前聊天的地方坐了下來。
老者讓自己孫女拿出紙筆，在上面寫下了幾行字，分別是：
牙變婆。
熊嘎婆。
老變婆。
老者用手遮蓋著字，只推到少年面前，讓他看了一眼，然後馬上將紙折起來，燒掉。
「不同的地方，對她有不同的稱呼，她的故事，流傳於整個雲貴川。
在我很小的時候，我阿爺就跟我講過她的故事，阿妹小時候，我也對她講過。
但我真的沒料到，她居然真的會出現在我家附近。」
說到這裡時，老者露出苦笑。
這本是長輩拿來哄騙孩子乖，早點聽話睡覺的恐怖故事。
就跟「再不聽話喊警察叔叔來抓你」一樣。
看著孩子們害怕的樣子，大人們只會覺得好玩有趣。
然而，當發現這個恐怖故事的背景，真就在自己家門口時，就再也笑不出來了。
李追遠臉上的神情也是略顯凝重。
能成為一大片區域里的流傳故事的邪祟，意味著兩種特徵：一是存在悠久；二是曾非常活躍。
而這，都可以理解成……不好對付。
「我年輕時，曾在外遊歷過，關於她的故事，我也聽過很多版本，她可能是一個，也可能是一類。
有說她是女人生前受委屈，死後怨念集結，誕生出的屍妖，將這一類，統稱為她。
有說她生前曾是貴女，破家滅寨后，淪為奴隸，一直飽受折磨，最後被拉去殉葬，最後靠自己雙手挖出墳墓，變成人不人鬼不鬼的樣子。
有說她本是一位聖女，卻走入邪道，企圖以自身孕育鬼胎蠱，最終受蠱反噬，母子一體，天生怨氣，嗜血成性。
關於她的故事實在是太多了，我也不知道哪一種是正確的。
不過，有一點是共通的。
她，
喜歡食小孩。」
在說這句話時，老者看著李追遠的目光，帶著些許閃爍。
「尤其是你這種，看起來乾淨斯文的小孩，那是她的最愛。」
李追遠禮貌地笑了笑。
老者抿了抿嘴唇，這少年的氣魄與膽識，當真讓他刮目相看。
但很快，少年接下來的話，讓老者內心對他的評價，又被提了一層：
「那挺好的，我還怕她不來。」
老者有些僵硬地點了點頭。
接下來，老者又說了幾件事。
一是他那三個徒弟準備去解決她時，帶上了寨子里的幾件世代供奉的器物，結果不僅死傷慘重，連那些器物也全部被毀掉了。
尋常山精鬼魅，連那個器物都無法靠近，可對她，似乎就完全不起效果。
二是出事後的有一天晚上，老者曾親自坐鎮受傷徒弟家，企圖等待她的到來。
她來了，來得悄無聲息，在屋內留下了痕迹。
而整個過程中，老者毫無所察，這意味著，她如果想要殺了他，輕而易舉。
三是寨內有族人下山去鎮上採購時，夜裡回來搭乘附近一位寨民的拖拉機。
有老婆婆在路上招手也想搭便車，那寨民就讓她也坐上來了。
老太太蓬頭垢面，衣服殘破，上車后就很餓的樣子，在啃食著東西，吃得津津有味。
問她吃什麼，她說在吃雞爪，還給了那族人兩個，那族人先吃了一個，覺得滋味不錯，另一個就放口袋裡，想要帶回去給家裡孩子吃，結果下了拖拉機走山路回到寨子里后，在燈光一下一看，哪裡是雞爪，分明是連並在一起的血淋淋的手指。
李追遠詢問那個吃了「雞爪」的族人現在怎麼樣了。
老者回答：生了場大病後死了，年前剛辦的喪事。
李追遠又問，那個開拖拉機的寨民是誰。
老者說姓「冉」，每隔一段時間，他會開著拖拉機，拉一些貨來苗寨里販賣，也會收一些山貨去鎮上賣。
李追遠覺得，那個開拖拉機的，很可能就是冉大成。
不過，從接觸下來，李追遠沒在他身上察覺出什麼不對勁，去過他家裡，他家裡也挺正常。
一般和邪祟接觸久了的，自己或者自己住處多少都會留下一些痕迹。
但他完全沒有。
所以，不一定是冉大成和那個老變婆是一夥的，大概率只是他運氣好，雖然接觸過老變婆，卻並未嘴饞跟她要東西吃。
聊到最後，老者實在是沒什麼線索可提供的了。
李追遠起身，準備告辭。
老者開口道：「對不住了，孩子。」
為了保存寨子，他選擇了低頭，不起直接衝突，這無可厚非。
因為老變婆明顯有著毀滅這個寨子的能力。
李追遠微微一笑，道：「您已經努力過了，剩下的，就交給我來解決。」
老者：「若是能解決，事成之後，我苗寨必有……」
李追遠抬起手，打斷了老者的話。
「我不是為了這個。」
老者：「我知道，但這是我們寨子里的一點心意。」
「我也不是為了你們。」
老者沉默了。
阿妹開口問道：「外鄉來的少年郎，那你是為了什麼？」
李追遠：「我是為了我自己。」
阿妹疑惑道：「可你不是這裡的人呀。」
老者伸手輕輕拉了拉孫女，說道：
「我年輕時，接觸過一些人，他們喜歡說一句話，而且每次說那句話時，神情都很肅穆。
先生，
是為了正道吧？」
這次輪到李追遠沉默，他可沒說這樣的話。
老者發出一聲感慨：「先生以後可常來我寨里做客，不為感謝，只求先生賞臉光臨。」
"Okay."
李追遠轉過身，身旁的潤生蹲了下來，將少年背起，走出苗寨。
老者站在原地，看著他們的背影消失。
「阿爺，人都走了，你還在看吶。」
老者坐了回去，將竹筒煙拿到自己面前。
阿妹笑道：「阿奶在時常說，阿爺年輕時長得可俊了，阿奶當初一眼就瞧中了你，是不是就和先前那少年一樣？」
老者笑了笑，然後又搖搖頭，吐出一口煙后，緩緩道：
「我年輕時可遠不如他。」
……
李追遠趴在潤生寬厚的背上。
潤生奔跑時，會刻意維繫自己上半身的平衡以減輕少年的顛簸，李追遠甚至可以趁著這段時間，在潤生背上打個盹兒。
他確實是睡著了。
因為他有種預感，這個老變婆會很難對付，自己必須時刻保證好狀態。
一定程度上，只會大開殺戒的邪祟，其實更容易對付。
而那種有力量且懂得剋制的，反而危險係數更高。
因為這意味著，她有腦子。
「小遠，你快看。」
潤生的聲音，讓李追遠蘇醒，少年睜開眼。
他們二人正站在一座山頭上，再往下就是之前和亮亮哥冉大成他們分開的岔道。
原本說好，誰先完事兒后都會在這裡等待，然後一起坐拖拉機回寨子。
現在，他們站在山坡上，可以看見遠處下方的路上，有一輛拖拉機已經行駛了過去。
開拖拉機的是冉大成。
後頭載著四個人，分別是薛亮亮、林書友……
以及潤生和自己。
