The night is already very dark.

It was as thick as ink, and it couldn't be melted no matter how hard it was. I reached out to fiddle in the air for a few moments, and I still felt that the air became sticky.

Just like the one around me is not the air, but the ink, I fell into the ink jar.

This feeling made Ding San very frightened.

Ding San is a yamen runner, the lowest-ranking Zao Li, who is not an official, but a small character who can follow the yamen officials and quarrel.

But it is not easy for him to get this job.

Because he is an orphan.

He was able to enter the Jinguancheng Yamen as a yamen runner by his life. He informed the masters of the forefront, and the man rewarded him and threw him a job so that he could have something to eat.

In addition, the master may not have been unable to use the yamen to tie him up. After all, he knew something after all, and the man threw him into the yamen. In this way, he was surrounded by shrewd people and would not dare to talk nonsense if he couldn't escape. Don't worry, the man.

Of course, this is what Ding San thought about himself. He likes to think about it. Once it happens late at night, it is easier to think about it completely and can't control his head. He can't help but think about it.

He has had this problem since he fell into an old cave in the wild when he was in his teens.

In fact, Ding San is not from Jinguan City, or even from Shu County. He can't remember where his hometown is. He only remembers that his hometown was hit by a disaster more than 30 years ago. His parents followed the villagers to take their families to Jinguan City. They all said that Jinguan City is the country of Tianfu.

As a result, Ding San wanted to shit on the road. At that time, he happened to be at a young age. His parents were so hungry that they didn't want to move too much, so they asked him to find a place by themselves.

He staggered into a large grass with his two slender legs, then his feet slipped and his ears blew, and then he knew nothing.

When he woke up again, he found himself in an old and dry cave. He didn't know what cave he could see clearly, and he would just scream at the top of his throat.

The old cave was cold and dark. When he was young, he looked up and could only barely see the slender and winding well walls and large areas of darkness.

Later he saw someone killing pigs and saw the pig's throat. At that time, he thought that the pig's throat was a shrinking version of the well wall of the old cave. When he fell into the old cave, he was swallowed by a big beast.

Fortunately, he didn't know about this at the time, he was just simply afraid and did not think about it.

He kept screaming in the hole and finally called out a few refugees.

These people tried to pull him up from the old cave, but unfortunately he didn't find his parents.

He was too young at that time. Now I think it must be that he fell into the well and fell fainted. I don’t know how long it took for him to be in a coma. Anyway, his parents must have looked for him, but they didn’t find him, so they eventually followed the villagers to leave.

This kind of thing is quite common on the way to fleeing famine. Children are easily thrown away. Once a child is thrown away, they have to leave quickly, because children are often taken away by beasts. If they don’t leave quickly, they will hurt people if the beasts come back.

And this is not very scary, and what's even more scary is that it's not a beast or a sneaky person who takes away the child!

Fierce beasts harm people to eat for fullness. After eating, they will leave. It is not as sneaky. They will kill all the people.

Ding San looked around in horror, and vaguely felt that there was a sneaky hidden in the dark night like ink.

At this time, they were in the old mountains and forests, far away from the bustling and lively Jinguan City, staying alone on a mountain road where no one would pass by at night. Not far behind them were dozens of corpses!

The dark night sky, the dark forests, the dark grass and trees, everything is shrouded in darkness.

Ding San tried hard to look towards the camp, where there were torches, but the flames were shaking and weaker, as if they were about to be swallowed by the night.

However, the faint fire still shone out some things, and several figures appeared in the camp...

They were floating around in the camp, sometimes disappearing, sometimes appearing...

Seeing this, Ding San trembled, he couldn't help but shout, "Brother Hai, Brother Niu, are you still here?"

‘Crazy…’

What responded to him was the sound of the grass, trees and leaves being blown by the mountain wind, with a messy and swaying sound.

Ding San held his waist and strengthened his courage. He looked around in horror, but couldn't see anything around at all.

There are some things hidden in the darkness. He is not afraid of these things, but he is afraid of the feeling that everything around him is hidden.

It was as if he had been abandoned, just as he had been abandoned in an old cave.

He couldn't help but shout again: "Brother Hai, Brother Niu, Brother Niu Hai! Where have you been? What are you asking me to wait here?"

There was no echo, and now there was no sound of the sound of the leaves being blown away!

He looked around and suddenly realized that the dark night had not only hidden the surrounding mountains, rocks and trees, but also hidden some bad intentions, which were coveting at him.

It’s not a wild beast, it has a sound!

What is that?

A terrifying thought appeared in my heart and rolled in my mind. What's even more terrifying is that something can come out of the darkness at any time, it will reach out and pat it on his shoulder, and it will stick it behind him...

Uncontrollable thoughts tortured him and made him tremble involuntarily.

He couldn't help but start to turn around, for fear that something would stick behind him but didn't know.

Then after walking twice, he suddenly felt something passing by him, but when he looked closely, there was nothing.

But he knew something had appeared, something he had been afraid of came, he had committed sins, he was guilty, he had no conscience, he was going to be repaid...

A messy thought came to his mind. Under absolute fear, something broke in his heart. Suddenly he felt that he was not so scared. He thought he could do something to foster courage, such as singing a play...

It just happened that he had just heard a play yesterday, which was a Shu opera called "Mulian's Save Mother and Encourage Good" The play tells the story of the Buddha's disciple Mulian saving his mother from hell, which can be used to suppress evil and strengthen courage.

So he cleared his throat and opened his mouth and sang loudly: "With a long roar, I can't sweep the sky away from the gate. I was Qin Huhai back then, so why should I go on stage if I kill my brother..."

The voice is grim and low, and the sound is silly...

Ding San was stunned for a moment.

His mouth can no longer be sung half apart!

This is not "The Drama of Mulian's Saving Mother to Encourage Good", this is the first paragraph in the second half of "Romance of the Great Qin", called "Hu Hai Killing Brother"!

"Mulian saves his mother and encourages good deeds" and "Romance of the Qin Dynasty" are both famous works in Shu dramas. The people of Jinguan City are enjoyable, and most people have heard these two dramas.

Ding San has also heard of it, and he even heard it yesterday, and coincidentally, the actor in the teahouse happened to be the second half of the "Romance of the Qin Dynasty"!

But he doesn't like this drama now, so he forced the teahouse to change to "Mulian saves his mother and encourages goodness". So at this time, he clearly wanted to sing "Mulian saves his mother and encourages goodness" but why did he speak "Hu Hai kills his brother"?

He fell into fear, and at this time something suddenly fell on his shoulder.

Ding San's crotch suddenly became hot.

A depressing voice sounded: "Son of the Turtle, my god, Banban, what play do you sing in the middle of the night? You sing the opera, what do you sing in the voice of your mother?"

Hearing this voice, Ding San turned around and hugged the person behind him. He was so excited that he was incoherent: "Brother Niu, where have you been? What's wrong with you? You can't find it? No, where have you and Brother Hai gone?"

Brother Niu is called Niu Badao. He is reckless and brave. Although he is an ordinary person rather than a master with cultivation, he has strong qi and blood and full of murderous aura. He once killed a four-game ghost who harmed people and was promoted to the head of the yamen constable.

Niu Badao pushed Ding San away and said disgustedly: "Where did you go? You've been by your side all the time, what's wrong? What are you singing here sarcastically? Want to sing an opera for ghosts?"

Brother Hai said, "That's right, my mother kept napping here. You suddenly pinched your throat and started singing. Is your brain broken? Is it possessed?"

Ding San knew they were lying, but he didn't dare to say what he was thinking.

Moreover, the words of the two scared him to the point of being very scared. He quickly said, "No, no, me, me, then, Brother Hai Niu, let's light up the fire? It's so scary."

Niu Badao said disdainfully: "What's scary? The old men of Tingtianjian have all visited. There are no ghosts here, and those corpses have been dealt with. There will be no evil spirits and resentful ghosts left behind. There is nothing wrong, don't scare yourself."

Ding San smiled and said, "Brother Niu is right. Brother Niu is a man, but hehe, let's light up the fire."

Brother Hai looked at Niu Badao, Niu Badao looked around and said, "Okay, then let's light the fire, but the torches are inserted into the dead camp, what should we use to ignite the fire?"

"Or," he looked at Ding San with a cold silence, "You go back to get the torch?"

Ding San quickly shook his head: "Brother Niu was joking, Brother Niu, I, Hehe, camp, camp? Brother Niu Hai, look at the camp, then there, I just saw it, really, someone stood up in the camp and someone was floating!"

"Hey, who is playing the suona?" Brother Hai suddenly interrupted him, tilted his head and listened with his ears.

Niu Badao was stunned and said, "Yes, which turtle played his mother's suona in the middle of the night? Is there someone dead in the family?"

Ding San was stunned.

He didn't hear the sound of suona.

Brother Hai and Niu Badao reached out to listen around their ears, frowned, and looked suspicious.

They turned their heads and listened for a while, looked at the camp where the bodies were piled up.

It was empty there.

"Hey, aren't there only dead people in that place? How come there is a sound of suona? Who is playing suona?" Niu Badao said in confusion.

Ding San was shocked. He widened his eyes and listened in a slanting way like the two of them.

The wind was rustling, and a vague sound of suona was indeed ticking into his ears.

The tune is gentle and feminine, and the sound is very small, as if it was slowly brought by the night wind.

Ding San swallowed, he sensed it for a moment and said softly: "Brother Niu Hai, I think the sound of the suona was not from the camp, but from the area behind us..."

Niu Badao and Hai Ge stared at him together.

His eyes were straight.

Ding San was frightened and stammered: "Niu Niu Niu..."

"You slut, damn," Niu Badao slapped him on the forehead and laughed, "You turtle have learned to joke. You originally wanted to scare you, but you didn't expect to scare you."

Brother Hai said, "It's very boring. I thought I could scare this kid to pee his pants."

Looking at the blurry smiles on the two people's faces, Ding San's heart was like a coffin that fell into the water, slowly sinking into the water.
