Xiao Tang had earrings on his ears that day, which looked pretty good from the side. I think she would take them off when she went to school, and put them on when she came back.

"What? Do I like snakes? Brother Xiang, why do you ask that?"

"Huh... I'm scary snake..." Xiao Tang said in fear: "There are so many snakes on the mountains here in summer, and there are poisonous snakes. I was bitten by snakes when I was a child. Now I'm still afraid of any snake.

.”

After being here for a long time, I always feel that there are no good people in the village, and there is a strange feeling everywhere. I stared at Xiao Tang without blinking, trying to see something from her face.

"You...what do you think about me?"

"Is it my earrings? I bought this last week."

I came to my senses and said that the earrings you brought were fake diamonds or plastics, which were worth two dollars.

Suddenly, Xiao Tang's face looked a little bad. He casually said that I still have something to do, and ran forward with his small cloth pocket.

The old woman came back from the hospital and wanted to see her, so she followed Xiao Tang to the entrance of the village.

I frowned and thought while walking on the road.

A Hunan official from Changchun met. The news he gave me was that this generation of "self-harm snakes" was under 45 years old, with unknown gender and no photos.

That is to say, this person may be a man or a woman.

Because of the sachet, I also suspected that the forest ranger Mr. Hu, based on his position as a member of the mainland, there was no need for the Hunan officer to lie to me.

This means that the hard conditions cannot match.

It is possible for men and women under 45 years old, so I can use the exclusion method.

Forest rangers Lao Hu, old teeth, and grandma Tang Gui, probably aren’t them. These people are all in their seventies and eighties.

Who else could it be...

I thought of everyone in my mind, and even some people I have come into contact with in Xi'an, Yulin and Xianyang have recalled.

Can't think of it,.

This "self-harm snake" is hidden in the dark, hidden too deeply, and it may be an ordinary villager whom I have never met before.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Xiao Tang asked, "Brother Xiang, are you waiting for the grandmother of the teeth?"

I said yes, I could help get something or something. (The dentist is not hurting the snake, but I actually want to ask her something.)

Only by finding out the wounded snake can you feel at ease when you take the things in the tomb.

"Here, come."

At around 7 o'clock, a broken taxi slowly drove over.

The dentist was not young at all. After getting off the car, I saw her carrying a plastic bag containing medicine from the hospital. Her mental state seemed to be in twilight and even older.

"I'll get this." I took the snakeskin bag from the trunk, probably containing old clothes.

When he got home, the old woman looked at the empty room and couldn't help but secretly wiped her tears.

Xiao Tang sniffed and comforted him, "Grandma, you have watched me grow up since childhood. I feel uncomfortable with you like this. Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyun is gone, I will be filial to you for her."

I nodded and said, "I cannot be resurrected when I die, so I must be mourned."

"Good boy..."

The dentist held Xiao Tang's hand tightly.

I looked a little awkward. If I told her that the grandmother of this good child in front of you cut out your granddaughter from the soil and stripped her clothes and pants, what would happen? Will this be fine if I strangled this to death?

child.

The dentist's house is very poor. This time she was hospitalized. Not only did she spend her little savings, but she also owed the hospital more than 2,000 yuan in quick money. Speaking of this, it can be seen that the old lady is a very strong person. She said she wanted to get the house.

If you sell it, you can sell it for a few thousand yuan and pay back the owed money.

After helping to clean up the house, Xiao Tang left. She said she was going to school in the morning and coming back to see her in the evening.

The dentist can speak Mandarin, and he can roughly understand it if he speaks slowly. After Xiao Tang left, the dentist suddenly called me in front of him.

Her eyes were very cloudy, and she suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Young man, let's go, leave this village, and leave quickly."

"Grandma, what do you mean?"

The dentist said in a very low voice: "The ghost cub temple is useless, and those ghost cubs are about to run out. There is something that no one can see in the village. It is this thing that killed my granddaughter."

"Young man, I didn't want to live after my granddaughter died. The reason why I came back was to drive all the ghosts that ran out back. That thing... I could feel its existence, so I wanted to put it in.

Hurry back to Guizai Ridge."

I frowned and pulled my hand back, thinking to myself if this tooth was too stimulating, and I started talking nonsense, so I should not become the second-ranked Tang Gui's wife.

I squatted down, looked at the muddy eyes of the teeth and asked, "Grandma, you said you want to drive that thing back, what is that thing?"

The dentist closed his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds. After opening his eyes, he said:

"It's a snake."

I frowned and asked what kind of snake it was.

She looked at me and said seriously: "A black snake has no eyes and no mouth. A chopstick is long and will come out of the soil and slowly climb onto the person's trouser legs.

”

"Hook blind snake?" I blurted out subconsciously.

"I don't know what a blind snake is, it's a ghost snake."

The dentist struggled to get out of the bed. She walked to the cabinet and stopped, waved to me, asking me to help her move the cabinet away.

This kind of cabinet was a red paint dowry cabinet used in the old society. It was used in the southern region for dowry, with a mortise structure, copper ring and lock. It has a very good quality and will not lose paint after using it for a hundred years. This kind of dowry cabinet in the dentist's house has a total of 100% dowry cabinets.

There are three, stacked together.

After I moved two, she took out a copper key from her arms and bent down to open the last cabinet.

There are many old ones in the cabinet, such as the little girl's open crotch pants, cotton coats, tiger hats, etc., which may have been worn by Xiaoyun when she was a child. After she had all her clothes, there was a secret wall that could be opened at the bottom of the cabinet.

This is a kind of dowry cabinet. In the past, people who married girls were afraid that the woman would be bullied after she got to her husband's house and would secretly hide something in this secret compartment. This is a custom.

Generally, they hide money or gold and silver jewelry.

What I know is that in 2007, a group of Fujianese teamed up to buy a large number of original dowry cabinets in rural areas, which cost 70 or 80 yuan each.

Young people don’t understand, they sell them to the elderly. Among them, there are at least one dowry product with a bottom line.

What are there? There are old paper money, grain coupons, old silver jewelry bracelets, silver dollars, copper coins, etc. in the Republic of China.

The most secret codes are hidden in old paper money. Those copper coins are privately cast old-fashioned coins with blessings, such as "the top scholar comes in", "the youngest son is born early", "the safe and safe", "the harvest is a bumper harvest", etc.

As for now, in some remote mountainous areas, there are many such dowry cabinets with secret lattices. As for whether there are any things inside, I don’t know.

The old lady's dowry box really hides something.

She put all the old clothes Xiaoyun wore when she was a child and took out a bag of things from her hands from the secret compartment.

Just looking at the cloth that covers things has been around for a few years, and I guess it will last at least for a hundred and eighty years.

She carefully held the bag with her hands and went to bed.

"Young man, come here."
