The Folk Song of the Qingquan Case in the Northern Song Dynasty

Xiang Quan's face was as tense as a smooth iron plate: "It is indeed a man."

Ganqing was so frightened that he spread it on the table next to him: "What's going on! Isn't it a girl? Mother!"

Hearing this, Xiangquan suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "You are usually smart, how could you be fooled today! That folk song happened a hundred years ago, and the girl had already been buried in the earth. The ancestors of Wu Village must have never imagined that the descendants of the village would meet again after a hundred years. Got the same thing."

What do you mean?

Qianqing's face turned green all of a sudden: "You mean, in Wu Village... another child was taken away by wolves to be raised? He was found afterward, and locked up in an underground secret room with the same fate as the girl in the folk song? Did he commit suicide? Are you dumb? Tell me quickly! This, this is too—”

"Roar!"

"My God! Why is the voice getting louder? Is he hungry!" Qian Qing was about to cry, his face turned from green to pale.He stepped back.Clinging tightly to the damp wall of the house.

Letting him enter the cave is better than standing overnight in the wind and snow outside the window!

Xiang Quan glanced at the black hole, his face turned slightly pale, but he tried his best to keep calm and took a deep breath.

"You and I are not skilled in martial arts, no, you don't understand martial arts at all," Xiang Quan glanced contemptuously, "I am not skilled in martial arts, if I want to deal with grown men, I am still a half-human who is mad and starved to death The half-beast, the situation is really bad. So I took advantage of last night to light the kite and smoke during the day, in order to find Mr. Shen and send people to arrest him. Now that the wind and snow are blowing, I'm afraid there is no hope for rescue..."

Qian Qing didn't make a sound.He knew very well that he didn't know martial arts, and neither did Xiang Quan.But the current situation is much better than what he expected - he thought that there were a pack of wolves in the secret room, but looking at it now, it was just a person anyway.

It shouldn't be a problem for two people to beat a lunatic.

However, it is impossible for both of them to be unscathed.

Ganqing closed his eyes, and he remembered how the mute died that day.The risk is not without, if it is not done well, it will really kill you.Thinking of this, he glanced at Xiangquan—is this partner he has known for many years worthy of trust?

Yi Xiangquan picked up the broth, stirred it lightly, and put it down again, without taking a clear look at it.

Qianqing sighed, trusting the shit.

"Then wait until Master Shen comes!" Gan Qing became more and more uneasy, "I think this secret room is very strong, so just let it howl a few times in it!"

Xiangquan leaned in and took two steps forward: "It would be good if that was the case. But in my opinion, this underground secret room may not only have this one entrance and exit. I am afraid that other places in the village are connected to the secret room. One day that monster will come out, What if I hurt someone? What's more..."

He didn't say any more.There is still smoke not far from the cave, which is a small piece of firewood thrown in by Xiangquan.This is done when exploring caves. The fire is burning, so that there is air in the cave for people to breathe.Seeing this, Xiang Quan walked in eagerly.

"What? More than one exit? Hey! You're going to go in right now! Let's just take a gamble and starve it to death inside, or set it on fire to suffocate it to death..."

Xiang Quan stopped, turned his head and said, "You're just afraid. Don't say a few words, we're just looking at the situation, we don't necessarily have to do it."

"You yourself are clearly afraid of—"

Qianqing was still talking, but Xiangquan just sighed and stepped into the cave.The dark secret passage swallowed his white clothes all at once, seeing him go in, Qing Qing's mind was also confused.He swallowed, lit a torch and followed Xiangquan in.

To die is to die, pulling Yi Xiangquan as a backing.

The moisture and stench mixed into his dry nose, making him feel sick.The inside of the cave was pitch black, and the air was smelly and stagnant, which only made people feel tight in the chest.The smelly air and heavy fear weighed on Qian Qing's heart like a block of iron.He leaned on the wall with his hands, but saw that there were still many rotten logs lying on the wall.Qian Qing frowned, what is the use of this wood?

"This rich man really took a lot of trouble. To build such an underground passage...Hey, Xiangquan, you are talking. I said we will come back in a few days and starve that monster to death. Or set fire to smoke this monster to death Inside! Hello!"

"Stop yelling, be careful not to be heard by the monster. Hey, where's the broth? You didn't bring it in?" Xiang Quan lit up his empty hand with a torch.Only then did Qian Qing realize that he hadn't brought in the broth.

The two looked at each other.Qianqing's legs were a little weak, and Xiangquan's face was pale.

"You were only focused on stirring just now, and you blame me if you don't take it yourself——"

"I asked you to take it," Xiang Quan said in a low voice, a little annoyed, "the broth is drugged and the monster has been hungry for a long time. As long as he drank it all in one gulp and waited for him to sleep peacefully, everything will be easy. The second child in the folk song also used this method to calm down the girl, and the same is true for the mute. You still have to hurry up!"

Ganqing was trembling with anger, but he also wanted to go out, at least take a deep breath, and hold his breath before coming in.But now when I heard the phrase "The same is true for dumb children", I couldn't help being surprised.

"Mute... what do you mean?"

Xiang Quan was helpless, turned around and gave him a hard look, that look seemed to say "I don't bother to talk to idiots", seeing his expression, Gan Qing turned angrily, turned and left.

"What's your attitude! I'll go back and close the door, and trap you here to feed that monster!"

Ganqing wanted to say this, but he didn't say it.After thinking about it, these words were too vicious.He felt angry and thought to himself, since he went out to get the broth, he might as well calm down at the entrance before coming in, so that Yixiang Spring could take a few more breaths of stench.

After a while, he returned to the entrance, sat down on the old couch, breathed in the fresh air, and felt a little better.

It's not that he's out of his mind, it's just that it's hard for him to accept such a complicated and shocking fact for a while.Thinking about it now, just now Xiangquan said that the mute also cooked broth.Could it be that the mute always came to feed it because he knew there was a monster in it?

If this is the case, Mute is an insider, but why should she take care of this monster?And in the end, he was killed by monsters.The strange torn wound on Mute's body was probably injured by a monster.Although monsters are human, they have animal nature.The injuries on Mute's body were probably the result of biting and trampling.The dumb child couldn't speak, couldn't call for help, and lost too much blood, so...

Werewolf?

What bullshit.

Although Xiangquan had given a general account of the matter, Nai He Qianqing couldn't believe it.He turned over and stood up, walked to the side of the broth and picked it up lightly, sighed, planning to go down right away.

At least...to live to see people, to die to see wolves.

The wind and snow outside the window have not stopped, it is evening but it is like night, I am afraid that the heavy snow will fall all night.

Gan Qing looked at the gloomy sky and still felt something was wrong.The mute is dead, will the monster run back by itself?

Don't think about it anymore, so be it.Ganqing went in along the entrance of the cave, holding the broth tremblingly.After a while, I will feed the monster with this broth, and everything will be fine.Just thinking of that monster that looks like a human but not a human, and has no clothes to cover its body, already feels that the liver and gallbladder are torn.Fortunately, with Xiangquan by his side, at least he won't die alone and desolately...

The monster's panting still came from the depths of the cave, the sound was not loud but very clear.Ganqing held the torch in one hand and the broth in the other. The dagger could only be hidden in his sleeve, and he lost his sense of security instantly.The sound of his pattering footsteps came from the secret room, and the sound of wind and snow gradually diminished, and now it has been completely blocked by the wall.

The hole is deep and has steps.He didn't know how long he had walked, but he felt that time was passing slowly. The cave was very long and getting more humid, as if it was about to go straight to the depths of the ground.

Why don't you embolden yourself, monsters, but they are "people" anyway, just go into the cave to catch someone, how difficult is this, it's not like I haven't fought before!

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little lighter, and his steps were brisk.Quick fix, less bad smell.

But after walking for a while, he felt something was wrong.

After walking for so long, the surroundings are too quiet, terribly quiet.The monster's breathing was still there, the sound of wind and snow had stopped, and the footsteps came from Qian Qing himself——

What about Xiangquan?

Qianqing felt more and more frightened.He walked for so long, even if he didn't see Xiang Quan's figure, he should have heard his footsteps.But there is nothing around.The torch is bright and the flame burns quietly.Dry and shake the torch to illuminate the surroundings, except for the earth wall, it is wood...

Xiangquan disappeared.
