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

I happened to see that the slingshot is made of pig iron. It has been a few times. The slingshot rope has been wrapped in a few circles. The slingshot rope looks like four strands of beef tendon, which is obvious at first glance.

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

Lao Hu's expression did not change much. He took it over and said, "Don't call Brother Hu. I'm not that young. Sometimes I just play around. In the past, there were many birds around here. When I had nothing to do, I would feed the dogs if I beat them until they were worthless."

"Help me hold the rain cloth and cover these tablets," Lao Hu asked me to help.

I grabbed a corner of Yubu and thought to myself, "It was him who shot the dentist with a slingshot? It shouldn't be... He is also from Tianguangdong Village. The horny iron slingshot looks so powerful. When you hit someone with a stone, you can kill people. Why did he shoot the dentist?"

Covering with a fan cloth, Lao Hu said, "Young man, kowtow, maybe the god of the baby can bless you in the future."

The statue of a Taoist priest with a hat stood in the small temple in front of me. Maybe because of the last time I soaked in water, some places cracked, so I kowtowed three times with Lao Hu.

Before I could get up.

Lao Hu suddenly pushed me and shouted, "Let's go down! Back!"

A snap!

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

The table was hit by the impact force and moved back a few minutes. This is a solid wood altar with heavy weight!

If you hit someone, you will be able to get rid of it!

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

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

"Hu...Master Hu, whoever hits you with a stone almost hit me on the head." I asked gasp.

"have no idea."

Lao Hu buckled the hat he was wearing on my head and whispered: "You can slowly show your head, and then count it silently in your heart, remember not to take more than three seconds."

I immediately shook my head and retorted: "How can that be? I don't know who it is outside! I'll show my head? Then I'll kill me!"

"No, it's not that exaggerated, it's not a gun. Now the light is not good and it's easy to deviate. I have to know where the person is. You believe me."

"What? Did you think I used a slingshot to hit the old lady?"

I nodded and shook my head immediately.

Lao Hu nodded at me with a flashlight.

I took a deep breath and slowly poked my head out with his torn hat.

It took almost three seconds, and I just retracted my head, and in the dark, I snapped!

A small piece of stone hit the red bricks on the temple wall! A lot of red brick powder was splashed out.

Lao Hu bit the flashlight with his teeth. He touched a small stone and clamped the slingshot, and then leaned out.

The flashlight shone into a black shadow. Lao Hu straightened his slingshot, aimed at him with one eye, and let go in an instant.

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

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

He immediately hid with a slingshot, just like a child playing tricks. It may be that the light problem has lowered its accuracy. Two of the red bricks that built the small temple were broken. At night, there were birds in the woods, and all of them were flapping their wings and were frightened.

Perhaps I felt that neither side could do anything to each other. The whole process lasted for nearly half an hour and finally calmed down.

"Run?" I asked quietly against the wall.

"I don't know, I'm waiting to see."

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

"It's okay, I should leave."

Looking at the broken red bricks on the edge of the small temple, I swallowed and asked, "Master Hu, who is this? Do you know it?"

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

I waited until after ten o'clock in the evening, when I came out of Guizai Ridge, and I followed Lao Hu to the hut where he lived.

A few sweet potatoes were roasted by the coal balls, and Lao Hu asked if he would eat them.

I roasted the fire and said, "I won't eat it anymore, Master Hu, are you the one who hits people with a slingshot? Do you really don't know who it is when you beat the dentist like that?"

Lao Hu peeled the sweet potato skin and took a bite and said, "How could he know who it is if I didn't see anyone? There are many people in the village who can play slingshots. Maybe they have a grudge against the dentist."

"What does it mean? What do many people know how to play slingshots?" I asked inexplicably.

"It's been two years ago, and now no one has done it anymore. I'll tell you, don't go out and talk nonsense."

I said yes.

He only understood after he talked about it, but I really didn't know about it before.

"In the 1990s, there were many people from other places who came to collect birds in Qiyang, Shuangpai, Ningyuan, and Daoxian. Because there were many birds here, they made jewelry after collecting them, and some dyed them to pretend to be kingfishers.

The money was given a lot. Lao Hu said that in 1996, the Forestry Bureau arrested more than 30 people. They all went to the newspaper at that time. He also dug out the yellow Yongzhou Morning Post under the bed for me to see. The headlines were: "Yongzhou police cracked a major poaching case and arrested more than 30 poaching gangs led by Hu Moumou."

At that time, except for farming, people used slingshots to shoot birds, and even good conditions dared to use earthen guns.

In Yunbingshan Scenic Area, Lanshan County, Yongzhou City, millions of migrant birds pass there every year, in groups. As long as these birds fly lower, several can be shot with a slingshot.

The red-billed lovesickness bird, the blue-throated tiger, the thrush, the ordinary thrush, the big-billed crow, the black short-legged squid, the crested bird, etc.

There is a tuft of miscellaneous hair on the top of the head of the bird. Pull off the tuft of hair on the top of its head and dye it blue. It looks very similar to the length of the kingfisher hair, and it can almost be said to be exactly the same.

This kind of bird feather can be used as a dice, and finally, dice with gold and make it into various jewelry, and is sold to rich women all over the country.

Many of the current jade jewelry are still made with this old method, which is difficult to detect because the detection is also organic matter. For Guangtian Guangdong Village, at least dozens of village names have been bird-like at that time, and every household has slingshots. Lao Hu also did it at that time, so he couldn't tell who used slingshots to hit the dentist.

I sat in Lao Hu's hut until after 11 o'clock and went back to my place to live.

Xiaoxuan opened the door for me, and she whispered: "Where have you been? You're back so late."

"What's wrong?"

Xiaoxuan pointed to the west room and said, "I told you to tell me if you come back, you'll be more quiet. Don't disturb your uncle Xue. Come with me and wait for you."

There were no lights in the room, it was cold and dark, and there were no candles.

I lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. I saw two black shadows sitting beside the bed, and I was the head and Douyazi.

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

"Shh..."

Douyazai whispered: "Don't be careful, we're already asleep now."

It was dark and waved to me.

I sat cross-legged onto the bed. Douyazai opened the window again and looked out. He made sure there was no one in the yard outside, so he closed the window again.

"Put your head, what's going on? What are you doing?"

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

"What does it feel? Is it a water cave under the pond, or..."

“All.”

The sound of his head sounded a little hoarse.

"I feel like we've gotten into an inning."
