Chapter 152: The Missing Villagers
Looking for the gunshot, the two soon arrived at the scene, but they saw an old man dressed in a shabby animal skin, holding a shotgun, aimed at a little girl who was only about 12 years old!
At the girl's feet, there was a black dog with blood flowing, which seemed to be dead.
"Go back! How many times have I warned you! Don't come up the mountain again!" the old man yelled at the little girl.
The little girl's eyes were shining with tears, but her gaze was unusually firm: "I don't!"
"Give me back! After crossing this border, even I can't protect you!" the old man shouted at the little girl, "All the hunters who have crossed this line have been taken away by the mountain god!
When the little girl heard the old man say this, she could no longer hold back her tears, and she began to cry out loudly, crying and shouting, "I don't!
Li Cheng and Tian Guo glanced at each other in disbelief, what age are they, and they still believe in these strange things.
Seeing the little girl crying so miserably, Tian Guo couldn't hold back any longer, and pulled Li Cheng out from behind the bushes.
The old man was also quite sensitive, and as soon as he heard a movement next to him, he immediately pointed his gun at Li Cheng and them.
When he saw the two of them wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying guns behind them, he felt a pang in his heart, he didn't know if Li Cheng was a poacher or someone else, he didn't dare to confront them too much, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, so he pointed the muzzle of the gun down slightly, and didn't completely put it down.
If it were those ruthless poachers, I would definitely anger them, and I and the little girl would be in danger.
"Who are you?" the old man took the initiative to ask, which was also considered to be a courage for himself.
"Uncle, don't be afraid, we are the People's Liberation Army!" Li Cheng said with a smile.
Although the old man was a little old, his eyes were extremely sharp, and judging from the calluses on his released index finger, he should be a veteran with a gun.
"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, please help me take Xiao Yezi down the mountain, don't continue to move forward, the mountain is not peaceful now!" The old man saw that Li Cheng and the others were full of righteousness, and they were not traitors, so he relaxed and persuaded them to go down the mountain.
"Old man, what danger is more dangerous than pointing a gun at Xiao Yezi!" Tian Guo said angrily to the old man.
The old man's face turned red, this was not his will, but he sighed deeply: "Hey, it's not because in the past year, something strange has happened in the mountain, and every month a person who enters the mountain will go missing! It's been going on for nearly a year!"
"This must be someone who angered the mountain god to send this kind of punishment, I have already stepped into the coffin with half a foot in the person, I must guard the intersection for them, and no one is allowed to continue to enter the mountain!"
"Ridiculous!" Tian Guo laughed out loud with anger, how could there be such a thing without scientific basis in this world: "Old man, it's the 21st century now, we have to believe in science!"
"Xiao Yezi, when did you not see your father!I'll accompany you to find him!" Tian Guo knew that a person like the old man who was not good at eating the ancients had already decided that this was a ghost and god, so he simply wanted to take Xiao Yezi directly to find his father.
Before Xiao Yezi could respond, the old man really exclaimed: "No! No! Her father has been missing for half a month! It is estimated that just like the person who disappeared before, he didn't even have a corpse left, which must have angered the mountain god!"
Li Cheng was relatively sensible, and asked puzzledly: "There is such a big thing, why don't you call the police?"
The old man almost cried and said: "How could it not be reported, but when the police came, they could only assume that they had encountered wild beasts while hunting, and there was no shortage of such things in previous years!"
"But the disappearances were so frequent that the police didn't dare to search too deeply, and even those of us who have lived here for generations would have been lost in the jungle and attacked as wild animals. ”
"But we villagers don't go deep into the jungle at all, there is only one reason for disappearance, and that is to anger the mountain gods, so we will arrest them!"
"These people haven't appeared for so long, and they haven't even left a trace, I'm afraid they're all dead!" Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears, and those who disappeared were all the younger generation in the village.
"No! My dad is the best! he won't die!" Xiao Ye cried as she wiped the liquid mixed with tears and snot.
Tian Guo hugged Xiao Yezi pityingly, and his thin body twitched because he was crying too fiercely: "What about Xiao Yezi's other family members?"
The old man also sighed: "Speaking of which, their father and daughter are also pitiful, her father is also an orphan, and the mother-in-law doesn't want to suffer with him, so she abandoned their father and daughter and left the country, leaving them to depend on each other!"
"Her father has been missing for more than half a month, and there is no news yet, I'm afraid it's been..." The old man glanced at Xiao Ye again, couldn't bear to say more, and wiped his tears.
Li Cheng looked down at this thin child, and felt even more pity in his heart, if her father also left, how could she finish the next road alone.
"As long as we don't see the corpses, we can't conclude that those people are dead, we can go in and find them!" Li Cheng said lightly.
The old man boasted that he had most of his life's experience, and in terms of familiarity with the mountains, it was not easy to find someone in such a big mountain.
What's more, the police also sent so many people into the mountains to search, but they all returned in vain, and it was even more difficult to climb to the sky with just these two people.
But he didn't know that Li Cheng had the Heart Sea Ripple Radar, and he also found that if he concentrated on a certain area, he could still capture the fluctuations left before.
Whether it is a human, an animal or an animal, everything that exists will leave some energy fluctuations, and even if it dies or disappears, those residual fluctuations will continue for a while before disappearing.
This is related to the strength of the magnetic field, in some special magnetic fields, it can even leave an energy image visible to the naked eye, which is what some people call a "ghost".
This time, Li Cheng is planning to use this function of the ripple radar to see if he can help Xiao Yezi find his father, and in half a month, he should still be able to leave some energy fluctuations.
The old man was anxious: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, there really is a mountain god here, you can't rush into the mountain, anger the mountain god, no one can save you! I don't want anyone to sacrifice again!"
"I'm sorry, old man, we believe in science!" Li Cheng sneered, firming his position.
"Oh, comrade of the People's Liberation Army, how can I say that you don't listen, from the first missing person, we all brought hounds to look for people,"
"However, when the usually fierce hound came to this border, they crawled on the ground with their tails between their legs, whining and refusing to move forward, and they must have felt the breath of the mountain god!"
