As soon as I entered the woods, the sound of the nursery rhyme of the seven or eight-year-old child during the day faintly came from the distance: "Twenty-one of the White Dragon King, fell into the well without a wife, three-eight-three-nine-forty-one, invite you to play a game at home...... "I took a few steps forward, and saw the boy with pigtails during the day jumping out of the woods where Luan Xiaozhen disappeared last night.

The child blinked at me the moment he walked past me, I turned around and stopped the child, and the child stood there and turned his head to look at me with an innocent smile: "Uncle policeman, is there anything wrong with you?"

"How do you know I'm a policeman?" As I spoke, I came to the child's side, reached out and touched the top of the child's head, and the child dodged, dodging the hand I touched on the top of his head, and said unhappily: "Don't bully people!" After speaking, he made a grimace at me.

"Eh, you kid, don't you think you're cute, say, How do you know we're policemen? Otherwise, Uncle will tickle!" As he spoke, the stone hugged the child and kissed the child's little face.

The child laughed and broke free from the stone and held his hand, and said with a smile: "Didn't you come in a police car?

As he spoke, he turned around and ran towards the village halfway up the mountainside, and began to sing again: "Twenty-one of the White Dragon King, fell into the well without a wife, three-eight-three-nine-forty-one, invite you to your home to play games......"

Looking at the child's distant back, my mind suddenly felt as if it had been electrocuted, and the yang qi under my feet was urging, and in a blink of an eye, I had come to the child.

The child looked at me with his mouth wide open, his eyes full of curiosity: "Uncle policeman, how did you do it?"

"Let's make a deal, you tell your uncle who this White Dragon King is, and I'll tell you how I did it. The child looked up at me seriously, smiled, beckoned at me, and blinked at me with his chubby little hands in a cylinder, and I bent down slightly to put my ear to the child's mouth.

The child suddenly shouted in my ear, "I am the White Dragon King!" and then there was a burst of laughter, and the child ran towards the village like a gust of wind.

I rubbed my ears, which were shaken by the child's screams, turned my head to look at the child who had run away, and smiled self-deprecatingly. Shaking his head, he turned around and stopped the stone that was about to chase the child and continued to walk in the direction of the homestay.

Behind him, the chant of the child "White Dragon King Twenty-one, fell into the well without a wife, three eight three nine forty-one, invite you to come home to play ......" in the distance.

Now that I knew that the strange thing here should have originated from the Dragon King Temple, after lunch, I wandered around the homestay with the stones. The whole B&B sits in the south and faces north, the three-storey building in the middle of the B&B divides the whole B&B into two parts of the front yard and the back yard, there is a parking lot that can accommodate more than a dozen vehicles in the front yard, and the parking lot is lined with grapes, moon and other climbing plants and flowers on both sides of the trellis corridor. After the flower stand is the main building of the B&B, the first floor of the main building is a restaurant, a bar, etc., the second and third floors are the accommodation rooms, and there is a half-story building on the roof, and the iron general has not been able to enter the door to carefully probe, but according to the restaurant waiter, this is where the owner of the B&B lives and the door is usually locked.

Behind a well-shaped and furnished courtyard is a row of bungalows with a gym and swimming pool. In other words, such a homestay should be regarded as high-end in this locality, and it can be seen that the boss has put a lot of effort, but since he has made such a big effort and invested so much money, why does this boss go to such a place to open such a homestay?

For a whole noon, I took the stone to the whole B&B up and down, inside and outside except for the place where the boss lived, the rest of every corner was walked, and even the squatting position of the public toilet in the B&B I carefully checked, of course, I am such a careful person will not forget the women's toilet.

But no matter how carefully I looked, I still couldn't find anything wrong with the B&B, and there was nothing weird or uncomfortable about any corner of the B&B.

In the afterglow of the sunset, the gurgling sound in the belly of the stone sounded, and I smiled at the stone and led him in the direction of the restaurant.

In the restaurant, probably because of the conflict in the morning, the boss didn't pay much attention to us, after three or four dishes were served, the people in the restaurant ran to a table in a corner far away from us to eat and drink, while the owner of the B&B sat in the bar not far from us, constantly typing on the computer.

Stone and I didn't care, seeing that the food was ready, we ate and drank while discussing the strange story told by the village chief.

Shi didn't seem to have much appetite, and kept pulling a plate of fried meat from a farmhouse in front of him with the chopsticks in his hand, and after a while, Shi sighed and said to me: "Officer Ye, you say, Xiaozhen, is she still alive?"

I stopped stuffing a piece of ribs into my mouth and looked up at the stone, I wanted to give some hope to the young man in front of me with tears in his eyes, but I knew that sometimes the reality was very cruel, I paused, and said softly to the stone: "Stone, I promise, as long as Luan Xiaozhen is not dead, I will definitely save her." ”

"Really!" Stone's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, but in an instant the hopeful look became a little confused, and the little guy had already reflected the fault in my words.

"Officer Ye, what if Xiao Zhen is already dead?" As he spoke, two crystal tears had already crossed the cheeks of the stone and fell on the dining table.

I picked up the tissue in front of me and handed it to the stone, "Stone, do you believe that there are spirits in this world?"

The abrupt change of subject made Stone a little dazed, he looked up at me, nodded, shook his head, and finally nodded again. I watched the movement of the stone, smiled slightly, leaned towards the stone's side, and after making sure that no one around me noticed us, I lowered my voice and said to the stone: "I tell you, there are indeed souls in this world, and people may be happier after death than they are now!"

"Really?" Hearing my words, Shi Shi's whole person suddenly became excited, and his originally depressed expression slowly relaxed.

I made a small gesture at the stone and nodded at him.

Maybe it's because he's happy to know that the person he loves might have a good place to go, or maybe the stone is looking forward to seeing the person he loves again down there, or maybe it's ...... There are too many uncertain possibilities for me to guess a person's thoughts, anyway, now Shishi's mood is much better than just now, and he has begun to pull the food into his mouth.

Looking at the stone that was slightly better, I smiled, and continued to put the chopsticks between the ribs into my mouth, rubbing, this taste, it's amazing!

"Officer Ye, you said that if we really find the Dragon King in this Dragon King Temple, do we have a way to deal with him?"

"There are always more ways than difficulties, there will be a way, but if it doesn't work, can't we just run?" I smiled at the stone.

"Run......" Stone muttered repeating what I said, and just as Stone was about to ask me what to order again, the voice of the innkeeper came from the bar next to the table.

"I said, two police officers, are you crazy? In the morning, did you say that I had looked for you last night, and now you believe the old guys in the village? I said you are here to solve the case, or are you here to make a horror movie?"

I don't know when the boss has walked out of the bar and stood two or three meters away from us, I looked at the homestay owner who was close at hand and frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Whether it's a case or a horror movie, does this have anything to do with you, boss?"

"Eh, Officer Ye, what you said is not right, I am the victim of this case, I have the right to ask your police to solve the case as soon as possible, but after so many years, you have come so many people, but after so many years, you can run, the missing are missing, now it's good, here are Officer Ye, you two, this is an unusual path? How can you drop it? Want to close the case on the grounds that the supernatural incident is not under your control? Fool and fool our victims?...... The more the innkeeper talked, the more energetic he became, and he walked over to our table and sat down next to me, his eyes fixed on me.

Looking at the eyes of the owner of the B&B, I sneered and laughed out loud, "Boss, I am not as good as you in this B&B business, but this case is investigated, you may not be able to compare with me, we have two days, and we will have a preliminary understanding of the case, of course, there will be some more unscientific statements before the truth is revealed, and we also need to listen to all aspects of the case!" Don't worry, we just asked the village chief today to find out about the situation, and heard some legends and stories, which we take out for entertainment when we don't eat. ”

After listening to my words, the owner of the B&B rolled his eyes, snorted in his nostrils and said, "It's that old immortal guy again." After cursing the old village chief, the owner of the homestay leaned in my direction, lowered his voice and said: "Officer Ye, let me tell you, when I first came, this old guy took the lead in opposing it, and he didn't let me build this homestay here, but later, I used some means to start this homestay smoothly." The boss paused, turned his head and looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, his voice was lowered.

"Later, I started work, and the old man brought people to make trouble a few times, if it wasn't for my connections, this B&B might not have been built at all. I suspect that the old man has taken a fancy to my land, and this can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. After I tried some tricks, the old man didn't bring anyone to make trouble, but then people began to disappear mysteriously, and with the old man's prestige in the village, I suspect that these things were done by the old man's group!"

"Oh, are you sure?" I said, looking playfully at the owner of the B&B in front of me.

The owner of the B&B nodded vigorously when he saw me looking at him.
