Suddenly a slingshot fell out, and Lao Hu subconsciously reached out to pick it up.

I just happened to see that this slingshot was made entirely of pig iron. It had been around for some years, and there were several loops of hemp rope wrapped around the hand. The slingshot rope seemed to be made of four strands of beef tendon, which looked very strong at first glance.

I picked it up first, handed it to him and asked, "Brother Hu, are you still playing with this?"

Lao Hu's expression did not change. He took it and said, "Don't call me Brother Hu. I'm not that young. I just play for fun sometimes. There used to be a lot of birds around here. When it's okay, I'll shoot some birds and sell them for money. If I catch some, they'll be worthless."

Just feed the dogs."

"Help me hold up the raincloth and cover these memorial tablets," Lao Hu asked me to help.

I grabbed a corner of the raincloth and thought: "Did he hit Yapo with a slingshot? That shouldn't be right... He is also from Tianguangdong Village. The iron slingshot with beef sinew is very powerful at first glance. He hit her on the head with a stone. Is that right?"

If someone can kill someone, why would he shoot Yapo?"

After covering it with a fan cloth, Old Hu said: "Young man, kowtow, maybe God Zai Zai will bless you in the future."

The statue of a Taoist priest wearing a hat stood in the small temple in front of me. Maybe it was cracked in some places because of the water soaking last time. I followed Lao Hu and kowtowed three times.

Haven't had time to get up yet.

Lao Hu suddenly pushed me and shouted: "Get down! Back off!"

Snap!

A small stone flew from nowhere and hit the table leg!

The table was moved backwards by the impact. This is a very heavy solid wood table!

If he hits someone on the head this time, it will be fatal!

Lao Hu pushed me and hid behind the small temple. He turned off the flashlight and looked around nervously. I also leaned against the wall.

He said: "This is not for you, it may be for me."

"Hu... Mr. Hu, who hit you with a stone? He almost hit me on the head." I asked breathlessly.

"have no idea."

Lao Hu put the hat he was wearing on my head and whispered: "Slowly reveal your head and go out, and then count silently in your mind, remember that the time should not exceed three seconds."

I immediately shook my head and retorted: "How can that work? I don't know who is outside! If I show my head out? Then beat me to death!"

"No, it's not that exaggerated. It's not a gun. It's easy to miss in the bad light. I need to know where the person is. You trust me."

"What? Did you just think that I hit the old lady with a slingshot?"

I nodded and immediately shook my head.

Lao Hu nodded to me while holding a flashlight.

I took a deep breath and slowly put my head out with his old hat.

Counting to three seconds, I just took my head back, and there was a snap in the darkness!

A pebble hit the red brick of the temple wall! A lot of red brick powder splashed out.

Lao Hu bit the flashlight between his teeth. He touched a small stone and put it on the slingshot, then leaned out.

The flashlight illuminated a dark figure. Lao Hu straightened the slingshot, took aim with one eye, and let go instantly.

I don’t know if I was hit or not. I only saw a black shadow, and I was sure it was a person.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Shoot the slingshot and immediately hide, just like a child playing around. Maybe the light problem lowered the accuracy. Two red bricks building the small temple were smashed. There were birds in the woods at night, and they were frightened by flapping their wings.

Flying.

Perhaps because they felt that neither party could do anything to the other, the whole process lasted for nearly half an hour and finally calmed down.

"Run away?" I asked quietly, leaning against the wall.

"I don't know, I'll wait and see."

After waiting more than half an hour, the surroundings were quiet, there was no movement at all, and the old man secretly glanced out.

"It's okay, it should be left."

Looking at the red brick beaten on the edge of the small temple, I swallowed and asked: "Hu Ye, who is this, do you know?"

Lao Hu shook his head and said he didn't know.

Wait until ten o'clock in the evening, come out of Ghost Cubling, I followed Lao Hu to the hut where he lived.

A few sweet potatoes were baked by the coal balls. Lao Hu asked not to eat.

I baked the fire and said, "No, Grandma, this is your village from the villagers? It’ s like you to make the tooth.

Lao Hu peeled the sweet potato skin and took a bite and said, "How do you know who you know?

"What do you mean? What is a lot of people who can fight slingshots?" I asked without understanding.

"The two years ago, no one has done it now, I told you that you don't go out and talk about it."

I said yes.

He only knew it after he talked, and I really didn't know it before.

"In nine years, Qiyang, dual cards, Ningyuan, including Dao County, many foreigners came to collect birds, because there were many birds here, they took it after receiving jewelry, and some dyed posing as a kingfisher.

A lot of money given, Lao Hu said that the Forestry Bureau caught more than thirty people in 1996. At that time, they all went to newspapers. He also turned out the yellow Yongzhou Morning Post from the bed and let me see.

The pitying case arrested more than thirty people headed by Hu Moumou. "

At that time, in addition to planting land, they all took the slingshot to the birds. The conditions were good.

There are millions of migrant birds passing by every year in the Yunxiabuki Scenic Spot of Lan Mountain County, Yongzhou City, and in groups of in groups. As long as these birds fly lower, they can be hit with several slingshots.

Red mouth acacia bird, blue throat flame tiger, thrush, ordinary cricket, big mouth crow, black short -footed 鹎, wearing crown birds, etc. are all available.

There is a bunch of hairs on the top of the crown bird. Put the hair on the top of the head and dye blue. It looks like the length of the emerald bird's hair is very similar, which can be said to be exactly the same.

With this bird's hair, you can pretend to be a little green. Finally, the green and gold are used to make various jewelry.

Many of the current Cui jewelry still uses this old method, which is not easy to detect, because the detection is also organic objects. For Guangtian Guangdong Village, at least dozens of villages have been hit birds at the time, and every family has slingshots.

Lao Hu had also done it at the time, so he couldn't say who knew who hit the bud with a slingshot.

Sit at the Laohu hut at 11 o'clock, and I returned to the place.

Xiao Xuan opened the door to me, and she whispered, "Where are you going, only come back so late."

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Xuan pointed to the West House, "I will give my head, say that you come back and move a little bit, don't surprise your uncle Xue, come with me, and wait for you."

There are no lights in the room, cold and dark, not even the candles.

Open the curtain and enter the inner house. I watched two black shadows sitting beside the bed.

"Why don't you order candles?" I asked.

"Hush ...."

Bean La Tsai whispered, "Don't order, we are already asleep now."

Hei Gurgong, beckoning my head to me.

I sat on the bed with my legs, and opened the window again. I looked at it out of the yard and confirmed that there was no one in the outside courtyard, and the window was closed again.

"Boss, what's the situation? What are you doing?"

Sitting with his head opposite me, he coughed lightly and said, "Yunfeng, after my research these days, I have a very bad feeling."

"What does it feel like? Is it a water hole under a pond, or..."

"Both."

His voice sounded a little hoarse.

"I feel like we're in a trap."
