The huge gap between urban and rural areas made Meng Jinxing feel disappointed, but this feeling of loss did not stay with him for long.

He has been surrounded by his father since he was a child, and he knows that the pros and cons of things vary according to circumstances and times, and that the difference between good and bad is often just a hair's breadth away.

He persuaded himself again and again that everything is done by God and man is responsible for planning. Only people who do nothing can do nothing.

In just one day, although most of what he heard from Jiang, Liang, and Xu were accusations against each other and complaints about the two-level village cadres, he also roughly understood the two most difficult problems in Guanshan Village.

The problem is the relocation of the tomb and the selection of the village chief.

However, the three parties were hesitant about the root cause of the tomb relocation, and the three parties in the selection of the village chief were all centered on their own interests and refused to give in.

Jiang Qinfang and Jiang Shifeng went home separately in the afternoon and never showed up again.

Mu Tian, ​​who lives in the village committee with Meng Jinxing, keeps everything secret about Guanshan Village.

It was not until dinner that Meng Jinxing used a small kerosene stove to heat some stewed vegetables he had brought with him over water, opened two bottles of beer with him, and had a delicious meal. Only then did he feel satisfied with his appetite.

A little bit of breath was revealed.

Meng Jinxing learned from this that Xiaofeng Mountain is a tomb mountain in the hearts of the people. The current contractor is a young girl named Lei Yunyao. During the day, she either travels here and there to persuade people to move tombs, or she goes to the countryside and counties to seek policy support.

, and at night he lived alone in a hut on the graveyard.

Meng Jinxing planned to visit Lei Yunyao at night, but Mu Tian suddenly claimed that he had a bad stomach and could not go, while Jiang Qinfang received a pager and called back saying that there were guests at home and could not leave.

Thinking that Lei Yunyao was running out during the day and it would be difficult to see her at night, Meng Jinxing decided to go alone.

During the day, Xiaofeng Mountain is shaded by green trees, but at night it becomes eerie and eerie.

Meng Jinxing's flashlight wandered aimlessly towards the mountain. From time to time, he could illuminate the raised mounds of earth. Occasionally, the cry of a night owl, "Gumi, gummi," could be heard, making people's skin crawl all over.

He did not go up the mountain immediately, but sat down in the open space, held the flashlight between his knees, lit a cigarette and smoked.

Meng Jinxing found it a bit strange that a young girl, who had never had a good life, came here to take over a barren mountain, live in a dilapidated hut, guard the graves all over the hillside, and listen to the wails of night owls.

What prompted this girl to make such a choice?

What is the reason why she wants people from Guanshan Village to move their graves, but all parties in Guanshan Village do not recognize her right to contract?

Maybe, this Miss Lei can tell him what Jiang, Liang, and Xu are unwilling to tell him?

Going up to Xiaofeng Mountain at night may not sound very wise, but Meng Jinxing is an observant person. When he stopped the Jiangliang family from fighting in the open space in the morning, he looked at the surrounding terrain and clearly saw something on the west side of Xiaofeng Mountain.

There is a very narrow road up the mountain, and a thin wire goes all the way up the trees along the road.

Meng Jinxing concluded that along this road and wires, he could successfully find Lei Yunyao's hut even at night.

After smoking a cigarette, Meng Jinxing looked at his watch and pointed it to seven o'clock. It would not be too rude to go up to visit a girl who lived alone at this time.

He held up a flashlight and found the narrow path on the west side of the foot of the mountain, and walked up step by step.

Halfway through, he felt something was not good. The higher he went, the more shapeless the trail became, and gradually it became lost.

He had to take a step and raise his flashlight to shine on the direction of the thin wire to determine the direction he was going, but the speed was obviously as fast as a turtle. He doubted whether he appeared at the wrong time because of it.

In the end, he was treated as a thief by Lei Yunyao.

Thinking this way, he couldn't help but walk a few steps faster. When he raised his flashlight to look for the wire again, he was immediately shocked.

The wire is missing!

He hurriedly looked around. The vast darkness sucked away the flashlight's beam. Where was the trace of wires?

"Gummi, Gummi, Gummi..."

The cry of a night owl suddenly sounded above his head. Even though Meng Jinxing was brave, he was frightened by the sudden sound and took several steps back.

When he realized that his foot was in the air, it was too late. His body fell sharply, and there was a muffled "bang" sound, which stirred up countless birds in the forest.

Meng Jinxing complained repeatedly in his heart.

However, the feeling coming from my back is strange!

The moment he landed, he clearly felt that he had hit something like a wooden board, but the object seemed to fall apart with the muffled sound. Then there was a nauseating smell that hit his brain, and there was something sharp on his back.

Tingling.

The flashlight had been lost when it fell, and the location was obscured by trees. The moonlight could not penetrate, and the surroundings were dark.

Meng Jinxing tried to reach out and grab his side. "Boom", there was a slight impact sound. He felt that his finger joints seemed to have touched the wooden board. He immediately moved along the collision area and felt that he was touching a complete piece of wood.

It was on the wooden board, but the smooth feeling on his hands and the debris squeezed between his fingers from time to time told him that the wooden board was almost rotten.

The hairs stood up all over his body in an instant!

The smashed wooden planks directly below the body, the rotten wooden planks standing beside the body, the disgusting smell, and the sharp stinging pain in the back?

He quickly withdrew his hand and touched his body, grabbing a broken bone. A bone-chilling fear immediately tied up his nerves, making him not know what to do with what he was holding.

It was so evil that he actually slipped and hit the coffin!

After the initial panic, Meng Jinxing adjusted his mind and tried to calm down. He tried to sit up, raised his hands and looked around to see if he could stand up and climb up.

He soon discovered that this was in vain.

There was a deep pit outside the coffin, and he could not reach the mouth of the pit with his hands, and the rotten coffin wall was not enough to serve as a point of strength for him.

The most terrible thing is that the space in the coffin is small. As long as he moves a little, the bones under him will break into pieces, which makes him feel a strong sense of guilt, as if he has disturbed someone's ancestors.

.

The smell of corpses made him almost want to vomit, so he thought about it and decided to try calling for help.

"Is anyone there? Help!"

Calls for help came out from the grave pit, echoing in the woods of Xiaofeng Mountain, and occasionally there were responses from night owls.

As time passed by, Meng Jinxing no longer dared to hope that anyone would come to rescue him. He only looked forward to getting up early and finding a way to save himself.

Just at this moment, an old-fashioned oil lamp suddenly lit up above his head, and a pretty face of a young girl with some vigilance appeared at the same time, "Who are you?"

Meng Jinxing was overjoyed and quickly introduced himself, "Hello! My name is Meng Jinxing, and I am the new village chief of Guanshan Village."

"Are you the new village chief who stopped the fight at the foot of the mountain this morning?" The girl raised the oil lamp higher, trying to see Meng Jinxing more clearly.

"Yes, it's me!" Meng Jinxing raised his face cooperatively and asked at the same time, "Excuse me, are you the contractor for Xiaofengshan's Lei Yun Yao?"

The girl said "Yeah" softly and retracted her head at the same time. She placed the oil lamp beside the grave and put down a simple wooden ladder. "Come up."

Meng Jinxing stood up carefully, and even though he was tiptoeing, he still broke a lot of bones. He kept muttering "sin, sin, sin," and his movements became more and more cautious.

"Pfft", Lei Yunyao at the entrance of the pit suddenly laughed, "Don't be so careful, they are just animal bones and carrion."

"Ah?" Meng Jinxing blurted out, "Isn't he a dead person?"

"These are basically the tombs of the Jiang and Liang families. Which of them do you think would be willing to have their ancestors' tombs so unstable that they could be trampled to pieces?" Lei Yunyao asked with a smile.

Meng Jinxing was so ashamed that he worked for a long time. This was a trap set up by Lei Yunyao, specifically to punish people who came up the mountain in the middle of the night with evil intentions.

He finally climbed up the wooden ladder neatly, stood at the edge of the pit and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I thought I was going to be lucky, fell on the coffin, and could be promoted and make a fortune!"

"Not bad, you can still laugh." Lei Yunyao walked forward holding an oil lamp, and even carried a cast iron water pipe in his hand, "Help me carry the wooden ladder up!"

Meng Jinxing carried the wooden ladder and followed behind Lei Yunyao. The dim light of the oil lamp reflected her silhouette, as graceful as a willow and as light as a swallow.

It only takes three to five minutes to walk from the grave pit to the hut. Looking at the light coming from the hut, Meng Jinxing was curious about why he couldn't see the light before he fell into the pit just now.

"You came up from the west. There are no lights in that direction."

Lei Yunyao said casually as if he could read minds.

The furnishings in the thatched hut are simple, including a bamboo bed, a bamboo bookshelf, a bamboo table and a bamboo chair. The light comes from another oil lamp, and the wires are not pulled into the house.

Meng Jinxing cursed himself in his mind for taking it for granted. Even the village committee had no electric lights. How could Xiaofeng Mountain bring power from down the mountain?

"Why are you living here alone? Aren't you afraid?" Meng Jinxing asked, looking around.

"They are all tombs. Apart from you, few people dare to come at night. What do I have to be afraid of?"

Meng Jinxing laughed dryly, and Lei Yunyao looked a bit playful and a bit cunning under the light.

"Tell me, why did you come up here in the dark?" she asked, "You don't want to scare me away in the dark, do you?"

"Where!" Meng Jinxing said seriously, "I want to know the reason why you contracted Xiaofengshan. In addition, please tell me the reason why the villagers don't recognize your contracting right!"

Lei Yunhuan chuckled when he heard this and asked, "What good does it do me to tell you this?"

Meng Jinxing smiled and said: "As long as your reason for contracting is reasonable, I will help you set up camp smoothly."

"Well, it sounds good." Lei Yunyao tilted his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy!"

"If you don't tell me, how do you know there's nothing I can do?" Meng Jinxing asked.

Lei Yunyao thought for a while and said: "Let me put forward three conditions. If you can agree, I will tell you. Otherwise... you will just go back and forth from where you came."

"What do you think."

"First, you can't tell me the real reason why I contracted Xiaofengshan."

Meng Jinxing thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."

"Second, you must find a way to take away all Xiaofengshan's graves."

"I'll have to wait until I understand the situation in Guanshan Village before I can reply to you."
