At this time, it was already past 6 o'clock in the evening.

After dinner, Chen Le set off with a large group of villagers to the north-south junction of the north and south of the village.

"Young master, they are dispatched. ”

And behind them, followed by Li Diguang and Li Meijing.

The two silently followed behind the large army.

Although it was tracking, Li Diguang also swaggered behind.

He complained, "Damn, these people are walking so slowly, when will this be there, I can't stand this shitty place anymore." ”

Now he just wanted to hurry back to his warm room, take a bath in the bath, and get a good night's sleep.

He's going to sleep for the day.

Li Diguang slept in this shabby place, was thorned by flowers, slept in the car, ate some messy things, how uncomfortable he was.

He already regretted coming here.

At first, I thought it was a matter of coming over and slashing with a sword, but who would have thought that after looking for so long, I didn't find the target.

Fortunately, when he was at a loss, when he visited the village chief and asked him to provide clues, he heard the news that Chen Le came from next door.

Then, I heard Chen Le's inference, and I followed the group over.

Li Meijing asked with a calm expression, "Young Master, do you need me to urge them to hurry up?"

"You idiot, don't you let them know that I can't find it myself, and I need to follow them to find it? ”

"But, young master, we're just following the others. ”

In this way, when they ask, it can also be interpreted as being on the same road. ”

Li Diguang said, and looked at Li Meijing with contempt, "You are really stupid and useless, in short, wait for them to go over and search, I will take advantage of the fisherman and cut the other party at that time, and then I can happily go home and take a hot bath." ”

"Yes, it deserves to be a young master. ”

Although she said words of praise, Li Meijing's expression still did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Anyway, that kid, it's very useful, won't he really let him reason it......"

......

......

Naturally, the two men and women wearing such strange cheongsams and following behind must have attracted everyone's attention a long time ago.

After reporting to the village chief, the village chief only replied lightly, "It's okay, don't care." ”

Because Li Diguang had communicated with him, he knew that Li Diguang was a member of the Hunters' Guild.

At the front of the team were Chen Le and Lin Yuqiong, who took the lead in the front.

Chen Le asked with some uncertainty, "Is this good?"

What he said was that Lin Yuqiong had just promised to be the bride of the river god.

Lin Yuqiong replied lightly, "It's okay, I originally had to agree." ”

Chen Le turned his head and glanced at Lin Yuqiong.

From her large, rimmed glasses, Chen Le couldn't see anything.

However, he could still feel the unwillingness in Lin Yuqiong's words and the trace of consciousness in his heart.

Chen Le asked casually, "By the way, that Ding Feng feels that he has some opinions about us, or does he have an opinion on Ding Li?"

Lin Yuqiong thought for a while and said, "Because the village chief adopted him as an adopted son, he took a fancy to his talent and wanted him to succeed the village, and later there was Brother Ding, so naturally Brother Ding inherited the village, and everyone also preferred Brother Ding, and there were rumors in the village that they did not agree." ”

Even this time.

Ding Li and Ding Weitian both came, but Ding Feng stayed in the village to preside over the matter.

It took the group more than an hour to cross the mountains and forests and come to the location marked by Chen Le.

Then, Ding Weitian, the village chief, guarded the scene, and Ding Li arranged for everyone to surround the mountain and ensure that no one would be let go.

Ding Li's favorite is not only his appearance, but also his ability to do things is first-class, he can clearly assign tasks, arrange sentinels, and let everyone search the mountains little by little.

A total of 60 people came this time, which is the largest scale of mountain search in the village.

This is not only because of Lin Yuqiong's words, but also because Ding Weitian believes in Chen Le's words a little.

After Ding Li arranged several squad leaders to surround him and listen to their respective duties, everyone scattered with torches or flashlights and began to patrol the mountains.

Chen Le and Lin Yuqiong also followed the flow of people up the mountain, looking for every possible corner of the mountain.

Chen Le found that Ding Li was really powerful, along the mountain all the way, you could see lights everywhere, and people were arranged everywhere.

Ding Li also followed Chen Le and the two together, afraid that the two would encounter any danger.

The three of them searched for possible caves or houses along the mountain road.

The group has been finding 8 from 7 o'clock and 9 o'clock from 8 o'clock, but they have not found any clues.

This also made Chen Le's heart heavier and heavier.

If you can't find anyone, it means that Lin Yuqiong is going to be the bride of the river god.

This will make Chen Le feel that all failures are caused by himself.

Even, even Ding Li seems to have the same idea.

Ding Li said casually as he walked, "Yuqiong, although it will seem strange for me, the person in charge of taking care of the master, even if I really become the bride of the river god, things will not change in any way. ”

“......”

Lin Yuqiong didn't answer.

Chen Le couldn't help but ask, "Since you have gone to college, how should you know that feudal superstition is not credible, why do you still do this?"

Ding Li looked into the distance and calmly stated, "Because it doesn't matter whether the river god is real or fake, it doesn't matter, this is an outlet for everyone to vent, and it is also a source of confidence for everyone, otherwise, what do you let the people in the village do, saying that we not only have nothing to do about the disappearance of the population, but it may happen again in the future, don't we know what to do?"

"People, you always need a faith to survive. ”

These words made Chen Le silent for a while before he said softly, "Even if you catch Yuqiong, things won't get any better, so what will happen in the future?"

"Later...... Naturally, the villagers will find other 'faiths.'"

This so-called faith is actually a harbor for shirking responsibility and avoiding problems.

It's like adults will always choose one thing to cover up their family's failure to educate students, 40 years ago it was called martial arts, 35 years ago it was called Hong Kong movies, 30 years ago it was called idols, 15 years ago it was called early love, and now, it is called games.

Once superstition falls, something else will naturally pick it up.

Ding Li saw it far more thoroughly than Chen Le.

“......”

As he spoke, he heard someone shouting in the distance, "Found it, found it, found a strange cave." ”

As he shouted, the sky lit up with flares.

Chen Le and Ding Li also hurriedly ran in the direction of the signal flare.

It is a naturally formed cave with the entrance blocked by a large stone, which needs to be rounded to find an entrance that is less than two meters away.

A group of people carried torches along the entrance of the cave, and found that the deeper they went, the more spacious the cave became.

And the space is getting bigger and bigger, more and more spacious.

Then I don't know who said first, "This cave wall has traces of being chiseled, it is not pure nature, and someone has been here." ”

Someone immediately answered, "Fluorescent stone has been embedded in the wall for lighting." ”

Ding immediately shouted, "Quick, someone come in with me." ”

Then he took the lead and ran into the cave.

After running for more than ten meters, the group entered a large space.

Only then did I realize that there was a cave in this cave.

There is a vast space of more than 100 square meters, and the walls are also embedded with fluorescent stones.

There are also people who make tables, chairs, and beds out of wood, which shows that some people have lived here.

But there was no one left at this point.

Chen Le immediately went to check the mat next to the bed, and immediately shouted, "Someone, there are still people sleeping on this mat recently, and there is still water in the cup on the table, he may have just run away not long ago." ”

Ding immediately ordered, "Notify down, let everyone strengthen their vigilance, search the mountain in a carpet style, and never let any animal go down the mountain." ”

"Yes. ”

"This way, this way, come and see, there is an exit from this hole. ”

......

......

And in fact.

On the other side of the mountain.

Li Diguang took Li Meijing and came to a big tree so generously.

Li Diguang also slowly pulled out a shrinking sword that he carried with him, and as he held the hilt of the sword, the sword body slowly extended out.

The sharp light, even in this dark night, is terrifying.

It's as if a slight touch will make people's blood splash on the spot.

Li Diguang just stared at a big tree not far in front of him and said, "Do you think that if you hide, I won't be able to find you, naïve!"

"Okay, come out obediently and let Young Master Ben cut it, I'm going home!"

As Li Diguang's words fell, a black shadow suddenly burst out from behind the tree, and he was about to flee in another direction.

I saw that Li Diguang's body was illusory, and the whole person seemed to turn into a sharp arrow, rushing out, and chased after him in the blink of an eye, "If you want to run, have you asked me if the sword in my hand is!"
