Chapter Ninety-Six: Dark Shadow

Rural people are not so particular, sometimes when they are thirsty in the mountains, they will directly drink the water in the mountain springs and pools.

Although there are occasional stomach upsets, it is rare to be poisoned like this, after all, no one lacks virtue to poison the water, which is harmful to others and themselves.

It must be that there is something wrong with the water in Black Dragon Pond, Xiao Feng and Gu Xiaoman glanced at each other, and both of them had the same idea in their hearts.

After getting the useful information, Xiao Feng didn't plan to stay longer, and after appeasing the Tujun army and resting, he went straight to the village committee, because every poisoned person was recorded in the village committee.

Today is Monday, and the village committee is going to have a symbolic meeting, even though there is nothing to say, but the process has to be there.

As soon as Gu Youquan sent all the leaders away, he saw Xiao Feng and Gu Xiaoman hurrying to the village committee and hurriedly followed.

"Village chief, do you want a meeting?" he had just stepped in when someone asked.

"Open the egg, didn't you see my son-in-law busy!"

Gu You gave the man a blank look, he really didn't understand his eyes, and then ran to Xiao Feng and Gu Xiaoman.

At this moment, Xiao Feng was flipping through the record book, since such a thing had happened since last month, he had flipped directly to the beginning of August, and his fingers and eyes moved down the column of words.

On August 4, Zhao Erwa, the east of the village, went into the mountains to collect firewood, and fell into a coma in the mountains in the morning, suspected of poisoning, the reason is unknown.

On August 10, Liu Song entered the mountain and was sent back at noon, his body was blue and stiff, and he was sent to the town hospital by the village committee.

On August 17, Zhang Dafeng suddenly fell into a coma at home.

......

Xiao Feng's expression darkened, although there were everyone's poisoning records here, but there was no detailed description of their poisoning process at all, so he couldn't tell if it was because of the water in the Black Dragon Pool.

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing Xiao Feng and the others hurriedly flipping through it, Gu Youquan was a little curious in his heart.

Xiao Feng was still unwillingly flipping back, and Gu Xiaoman told Gu Youquan what he found in Tujun's house.

Gu Youquan slapped his thigh, looked like he suddenly realized, and shouted loudly: "Yes, yes, yes! There is such a thing, I remember that several people have said that they have been to Black Dragon Pond after waking up, and there must have been people who have drunk water, and it is definitely a problem with water! After doing it for a long time, there is nothing but a problem here, no wonder we can't find the reason when we go up the mountain!"

This voice startled everyone, and also pulled Xiao Feng back from his thoughts, his eyes flashed, it seemed that it was largely inseparable from the water of this Black Dragon Pool, and he had to go on a journey.

"I have to go on a trip", Xiao Feng raised his head and said to Gu Xiaoman.

His eyes were full of firmness and persistence, Gu Xiaoman knew that it would be difficult to change the decision Xiao Feng once he made, and after being silent for a while, she still said that sentence.

"I ...... I can go with you. ”

Xiao Feng was stunned, but immediately refused, Gu Xiaoman was just an ordinary person, and he didn't want her to accompany her on the adventure.

"That's it, you are a female doll and scare away, let's just go", Gu Youquan also felt that Gu Xiaoman was not suitable to go together, these are all things that men should do, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted to the people of the village committee: "Copy guys, let's go together!"

"Yes!" replied a couple of village men, packing up their things and heading out.

"Wait!" Xiao Feng shouted at them, "I mean I'm going alone." ”

He didn't say why, but made a very brief statement, but the tone was unquestionable.

And the reason why he didn't want people to accompany him was because he always felt that the black dragon that the man said was not groundless, otherwise how could he be scared like that, he had a sense of awe for unknown things, these villagers were ordinary people, if something happened to him, it would be bad after all.

"This ......"

Gu Youquan was a little at a loss, Xiao Feng actually wanted to go alone, you must know how he was a weak scholar in the city, how could he have the ability to adapt to the environment in the mountains.

But he didn't dare to say it explicitly, for Xiao Feng, he now had an inexplicable sense of awe, so he had to look at Gu Xiaoman, wanting to seek her opinion.

Gu Xiaoman shook his head, he knew Xiao Feng's character better than Gu Youquan, since Xiao Feng didn't let them go, she wouldn't go against his will.

Seeing his daughter's performance, Gu Youquan knew what to do.

"Hehe, then we old guys won't make trouble, let Xiao Feng go, let's set up a wine and kill chickens at home and wait for him to come back." ”

Gu Youquan smiled awkwardly, raised his eyebrows and motioned for those who were about to leave to go back.

Xiao Feng simply packed up his things, the Black Dragon Pond is not too far, but the road is not easy to walk, but it is still early at this time, and it only takes about half a day to come and go.

Everyone sent Xiao Feng to the north end of the village, of course they didn't know that Xiao Feng was looking for the secret of the dragon-shaped birthmark, but they just felt that Gu Xiaoman's boyfriend was really good, and the first time he came to the village, he took the initiative to check the situation alone for the safety of the villagers.

Gu Xiaoman and Xiao Feng continued to walk forward, while Gu You stopped the villagers with mutual acquaintance and gave them a chance to be alone.

There was a small ditch not far behind the village, but there was no water in it, it was overgrown with weeds, and there was a simple stone bridge on the ditch, covered with cyan lines, and it was evident that many years had passed, and the two stopped at this stone bridge.

"Be careful. ”

Gu Xiaoman's beautiful eyes wandered, looked at Xiao Feng and said softly.

"Mmmm, don't worry", Xiao Feng's face was light, he was alone, if there was any danger, he could run away, and he had no worries.

After speaking, he was about to leave, but Gu Xiaoman stopped him.

"Wait a minute!" I saw Gu Xiaoman hurriedly take out a bracelet from his pocket and hand it to Xiao Feng, this bracelet is intertwined with red silk thread and black hair, "We have a custom here, wearing your hair on your wrist will keep you safe, knowing that you will definitely go, this hair bracelet was made by me a long time ago, you take it, remember to return it to me when you come back." ”

Xiao Feng was still a little curious, what kind of custom this was, and said to Gu Xiaoman with a smile: "It's quite stingy, haha." ”

Gu Xiaoman was like him, and tied him to his wrist very gently.

Seeing Xiao Feng's departing back disappear at the end of the hillside, Gu Xiaoman's eyes flashed with some different light.

She only told Xiao Feng that it was a custom here to keep peace by wearing a bracelet made of women's hair, but what she didn't tell him was that the bracelet was made with her own hair on the day the woman was eighteen years old.

Xiao Feng raised his arm and sniffed the bracelet made of hair on his arm, I don't know if it was an illusion, as if he could still smell the faint fragrance of hair, he couldn't help but smile, this woman is quite interesting.

The path behind the mountain stretches to the depths, and there are small vegetable fields cultivated by villagers on both sides of the road, according to Gu Youquan's description, as long as you follow this sheep intestine path all the way to the mountain, you will come to the bottom of one of the largest mountain cliffs is the Black Dragon Pond.

Xiao Feng has been observing all the way, he must be mentally up, since he has been to the Longmen Ruins, he knows that there are still some strange creatures in this world, but they have not been discovered, he must be careful.

After walking for more than an hour, Xiao Feng suddenly felt the bushes in front of him shake violently, and instantly raised his vigilance, judging by the situation, he should be a big guy.

Walking slowly closer, Xiao Feng tiptoed away from the bushes, and suddenly a huge furry face pounced out from inside.

Xiao Feng's eyes flashed, his right hand raised to make a fist, and he directly blasted over without thinking.

"Bang!"

The furry face flew backwards and slammed into the tree, shaking a layer of fallen leaves on the ground, apparently dead and unable to die anymore.

It turned out to be just a wolf, Xiao Feng felt a false alarm, this kind of wolf is very common in the mountains, so almost every household in Xiaoliang Village has a shotgun, and they will carry it as a safety guarantee when they go up the mountain.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, a wolf made him make a little fuss, it seemed that his spirit was a little too tight, and he was still more relaxed.

At this time, he could already vaguely see the cliff on the side of the highest peak, which looked like a knife had been cut, and Xiao Feng quickened his pace.

Half an hour later, a sparkling lake appeared in front of me, at the foot of the cliff, the surface of the lake was like a mirror, but the water was dark green, it seemed that the water should be very deep, and the shore was overgrown with weeds similar to reeds, which could cover your knees when you stepped on it.

Xiao Feng looked at the surface of the lake carefully, this should be what the people in the village called the Black Dragon Pond.

Xiao Feng pushed aside the reeds and wanted to go to the lake to see if there was any problem with the water quality.

At this time, under the faint green water surface in the distance, a huge black shadow quietly sank to the bottom of the water, but Xiao Feng did not notice it.
