The two brothers worked part-time jobs during the day.
Part-time watchman at night.
The days were quite pleasant.
"Attsu!"
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"
"It's three o'clock in the morning and it's freezing cold."
In the desolate night, the sound of the watch sounds getting closer and closer.
As soon as the curfew came into effect, the whole city fell into a thick darkness. On the empty streets, the doors and windows of shops, houses, and private houses were closed tightly. Everything was quiet. The surroundings were pitch black, which was a bit scary.
Occasionally, coughing sounds may sound at night, which can startle people.
The coughing sound in the middle of the night was suppressed, dull, and faint, and it sounded like the cough of a dead person in a coffin.
From the first day when he became the night watchman, the previous watchman, Tian Bo, solemnly told He Da and He brothers that there were three taboos when working at night.
First, the color red is taboo.
There must be no colors related to red on your body, such as red clothes, red ropes, red candles, or red lanterns.
Red is the color of both fire and blood, and it is the easiest to attract dirty people who will not rest in peace.
Second, it is taboo to shout, run around and jump around.
I was shocked.
Third, it is taboo to turn back.
It is most likely to run into some weird things when you watch at night. You can only move forward and not run back. Because as long as the courage is there, ordinary weird things will not catch up with you. But once you turn back, the courage will be released, and evil winds will come.
It is easy to take advantage of the situation and turn back into a dead end.
That's why Uncle Tian's partner is so useless.
In the middle of the night, he was frightened by a hungry green-eyed wild dog that came out of nowhere. He was so frightened that he ran back and disappeared all night. However, he was found drowned in the Yinyi River the next day.
That's why Uncle Tian retired early.
Why did the brothers He Da and He Er take up the profession of watchman?
Young people are very angry, and if they work together as brothers, they will not easily get entangled in some weird things at night.
At first, the two brothers were very nervous when they were watching at night.
But as time passed and nothing happened, the brothers felt that the watchman was not as evil as Uncle Tian said.
The two brothers felt that the three taboos for watchmen were just used by Uncle Tian to frighten the younger generation and calm down his momentum, and they gradually stopped believing it.
But fortunately, believe it or not, the brothers were not so stupid as to deliberately break the taboo and cause trouble for themselves.
He Da and He Er, carrying barely illuminated lanterns, were passing by the hook-and-rail tile house at this time.
Suddenly, in the quiet night, the sound of fetching water from the well could be heard.
Hua Hua Hua
Then there was the sound of water splashing.
Wow
This time it was the sound of water being poured on the ground.
Plop!
Hua Hua
In the dark night, the wooden barrel was lowered into the well again, and then the water was fetched repeatedly.
The water is very cold at night.
"Where is the sound of water coming from?"
"Which Goulan family stays up in the middle of the night to get water from the well to wash things? The well water is cold at night, so you are not afraid of freezing your hands?"
He Da and He Er looked at each other curiously.
"The people living in this Goulan tile house are all the young ladies and famous prostitutes who live in the house. I wonder if the housewives who are so out of reach for our brothers usually wash something at night?"
He Er suddenly became lustful.
"Second brother, don't be too fussy. We can't afford to touch these Goulan landlords. If we offend any Goulan landlords, we may not be able to compensate you and my brothers even by deducting a month's money."
rise."
He Da, who has a more stable personality, originally wanted to persuade He Er to leave.
But He Er, who was working boringly every day, did not listen to his dear brother's words.
"Brother, come quickly, the sound of water seems to be coming from this Goulan house."
"Brother, these are the prostitutes who are courtesans. We cannot afford famous prostitutes. So now that it is quiet at night and no one sees us, we should take a few more glances."
He Er, who was impatient, had already climbed up a brick wall before he could stop him, and quietly peeked into the wall.
Inside the wall is an inner courtyard with hooked bars.
Under the dim moonlight.
Next to a well.
At this time, there was a graceful and plump woman slowly shaking the bucket up.
Hua Hua Hua
After filling up the well water, the woman actually stood directly next to the bucket, using the cold water in the middle of the night, and lowered her head to wash her long black hair, without fear of catching a cold.
At this time, the woman's long hair was already wet, with water stains all over the floor.
He Er was surprised.
I was wondering, it was weird to wash my hair in the middle of the night, but I also used cold well water to wash my hair in the middle of the night. Isn't the little lady in this house afraid of catching wind and cold and getting head wind?
"Gudong!"
Looking at the bumpy and plump figure under the moonlight, the snow-white neck seemed to be covered with a layer of glow in the moonlight, He Er couldn't help but swallow a sip of saliva.
What a nice view!
So tempting!
Really want to...
Desire flashed in He Er's eyes. At this moment, the woman seemed to have washed her hair. Wow, she lifted the bucket and poured out the water. Then with a pop, the bucket was lowered from the wellhead, and she continued to fetch a bucket of water.
He actually repeated the previous action of lowering his head to wash his hair.
He Er's eyes widened, and a chill surged in his heart. He already felt something was wrong and wanted to retreat. At this moment, the woman who had been lowering her head to wash her hair seemed to be awakened by the sound behind her. She
Looking back...
"ah!"
In the originally silent late night, He Er's frightened cry suddenly broke the silence of the night. The sound sounded very miserable.
This miserable and horrifying scream echoed far away in the still night, immediately waking up the lights of every household around it.
"Brother, run! Run! There is, there is..."
He Er seemed to have been frightened, and he collapsed to the ground. Then he ignored the pain all over his body after falling from the wall, and got up from the ground in panic on his hands and feet. His face was pale with fright, and he pulled He Er up.
To escape for one's life.
result.
The two of them hadn't even taken a few steps.
Bang!
The two of them collided with the oncoming people. Oops, the old Taoist screamed in pain. He, He Da and He Er collided head-on and became a gourd rolling on the ground.
Jin An, on the other hand, had already stepped on the stone brick courtyard wall, jumped ten feet high, and rushed into the courtyard with quick movements like an arrow.
When the old Taoist priest stood up again with support on his waist, he saw Jin An climbing over the wall from the hook fence again, carrying a young lady on his shoulders.
At this time, the lights in the Goulan tile shop were brightly lit, someone opened the door and came out to check the situation, and the crowd gradually became lively.
At the same time, some brave men from nearby towns came and happened to see Jin An carrying a young lady over the wall from the hook fence, and they shouted in unison:
"That thief who picks flowers!"
"Stop being so arrogant!"
At this time, the disheveled Li Yanchu hurried over while getting dressed...
