He Xiaoman looked at the raised stone on the ground and the three neatly arranged branches next to the stone.

The sixth time!

Not all sixes mean success. He Xiaoman seemed to have had his backbone and energy taken away from his body in an instant. He fell slumped to the ground, completely ignoring the brand new two-piece set of big-name sweatshirts and sweatpants that he wore for the occasion.

Even though it was only A-grade goods, it still cost her more than three thousand yuan.

Through the light of her mobile phone, she could see her messy footprints on the ground.

She has been back and forth to this damn place six times.

The town hospital is located in the central area of ​​Wayao Town. Follow the asphalt road in the town until you reach Manshui Bridge, turn north and walk about a mile to get there. However, as He Xiaoman walked from dawn to dusk, the surrounding scenery changed.

It becomes more and more unfamiliar and desolate.

Across Manshui Bridge are the No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 High School in the town, and then a large area of ​​old residential buildings and houses mixed with bungalows. However, in the area in front of He Xiaoman, there is not a single building in sight. They are all half a person tall.

How do the grass and bushes look like what a small town should look like?

Her eyes were filled with smoke and grass, and there were no landmark buildings. The worst part was that she was lost along with her sense of direction and her mobile phone signal, so trying to locate her location and call for help from the outside world became a luxury.

Now He Xiaoman's mobile phone has successfully transformed into a watch and a flashlight.

This is the beginning of a typical thriller.

After exhaling a long breath and dragging her tired legs, He Xiaoman, who was very conscious of the protagonist, decided to struggle to the death again. After all, she couldn't fall on such a smooth number, that was six!

When I saw these three branches and smooth stones again, they looked like a smooth head and wrinkled forehead when put together by the light of my mobile phone.

He Xiaoman suddenly realized that this pattern was very similar to the one she had drawn countless times with her neighbor Erping when she was a child: "An old man lent us a ball, and he said it took three days and he didn't return it for four days..." The pattern was the same and slightly weird.

Old Dingtou.

The three branches and the bare stone looked like an old man had been hastily buried here. Because the burial was not complete, his bare head and forehead were exposed.

This picture...

He Xiaoman felt a chill running down his spine, and suddenly ran away as if nails were stepped on under his feet, not daring to look at the branches and stones he had placed with his own hands.

When she realized that she had been circling within a certain range, she found a more conspicuous stone as a reference. In order to prevent similar stones from appearing, she also found three dead branches as markers.

As a result, this combination of marks created by He Xiaoman personally appeared seven times in succession in the following time. I don't know if it was to prove to He Xiaoman the real existence of the Möbius strip and the Penrose ladder or to let her experience the weirdness.

A wall-breaking thriller.

It was not even five o'clock when He Xiaoman came out of the hospital. It gets dark early after autumn in the north, and the setting sun left a warm orange glow on the distant mountain tops. The dirt road from the town hospital to his fourth uncle's house was about two kilometers away.

Xiaoman figured that if he walked quickly, he would arrive before it got completely dark.

Don't expect to eat dinner. Considering the stingy character of the fourth aunt who is reluctant to throw away the beans, and the separation of the family has made everyone very unhappy, He Xiaoman has no hope of getting food in their house.

.

Knowing what he would face when he came back this time, He Xiaoman prepared dry food and water in his "treasure bag".

But the problem she has to face now is not that she can't eat, but that she will probably sleep in the wilderness on this night in late autumn and early winter.

If she had known this, she might as well have just come back wearing a down jacket.

Ah, if I had known this, she might as well have stayed in the small hotel opposite the town hospital instead of showing off.

In fact, He Xiaoman couldn't be blamed. Faced with her grandmother's pleading eyes, she really couldn't refuse and could only agree to stay at her fourth uncle's house.

"Everyone in the town and village knows that you are coming to see me, and they all know that we are having a family separation this time. If you stay in Lao Wang's hotel, those people will talk nonsense, either saying that you are ignorant or saying

Your uncle treated you harshly."

Grandma didn't like to hear any of it.

Grandma was out of breath when she said this. For a frail patient who was almost unable to be saved, speaking was a burden.

He Xiaoman said nothing, picked up his big satchel and left with a smile.

To her grandmother, her fourth uncle was her most beloved son since she was a child. To He Xiaoman, his fourth uncle was not as good as the bald accountant in her company.

At least the bald accountant would give her every penny of her hard-earned commission on time every month.

Although He Xiaoman would always treat the bald accountant and his chubby little lover to a delicious meal afterwards, generally speaking, everyone continued this tacit drama in a friendly and willing atmosphere.

When he thought of food, He Xiaoman's stomach made an unsatisfactory "gulu, gulu" sound. Even though he was so strong that the whole company ignored his gender throughout the whole day, He Xiaoman felt that he was also a mortal body, and he didn't know what.

Some are hungry, some are tired, some are hungry and cold.

She was not completely frightened and fell to the ground. Firstly, it was because He Xiaoman was already very courageous. Secondly, she had also heard the legend about tricking the wall.

It is said that this thing will disappear by itself at dawn.

Now that the phone couldn't be made, and she couldn't find the direction or way out, she simply took out the food in her bag to eat.

Even if she is destined to circle around here until dawn like a donkey, at least she has to eat enough before going around, right?

He opened his large shoulder bag that was said to be like a treasure bag, and something fell out with a clang. In the pitch-black silence, the sound was so loud that He Xiaoman trembled all over.

It was a thick-backed kitchen knife stained with oil.

The knife is multi-purpose and can be used for chopping bones and vegetables. The only drawback is that it is a bit heavy. When He Xiaoman took this "heirloom", he almost missed it and dropped it to the ground and chopped off his own foot.

Don't get me wrong, although He Xiaoman's big shoulder bag is called a treasure bag, he usually puts some lighters, anti-wolf spray and the like in it when running business. This is the first time today that he puts a kitchen knife in it.

Because this kitchen knife was left to my grandmother by my grandfather, who was known as Butcher Zhang, and my grandfather received it from my grandfather’s grandfather. If you count it according to the age, it can really be called a family heirloom.

But my grandma wanted my fourth uncle to take over the knife. Taking over the knife would be regarded as inheriting Butcher Zhang’s family business.

The fourth uncle said that since even the family property in the old house was given to the third sister, then all these things belong to the third sister. Besides, their family only has one daughter, Shuyuan, so they cannot let Shuyuan, a female college student, become a butcher.

?

When He Xiaoman heard this, he silently took out the cosmetic mirror from his treasure bag and checked it. He didn't find any parts like a beard or Adam's apple. He looked at his uncle in confusion. Zhang Shuyuan is your daughter and can't inherit the kitchen knife? Could it be that I

He Xiaoman is actually a male college student?

Not only did the son refuse to inherit the family business, he also gave up the old house where he had lived for more than a hundred years to Xing San's sister Zhang Caihua, who is He Xiaoman's mother.

Don't think this is because the fourth uncle is so upright and upright. As the boss of six butcher shops in the town and county, he is unwilling to compete for property with his sister who has just been kicked out of the house.
