Chapter 70: Accident (2)
The village chief wanted to hide the treasure he had picked up at home, but it was too late.
So many people saw the bead that fell from Huzi's hand.
The village chief couldn't regret it, but it didn't help.
The news that there was a treasure in the Nameless Mountain immediately spread in Wangjia Village. Most of the people who followed the village chief up the mountain were young and middle-aged.
Wealth touches people's hearts.
On the night when the village chief found the Night Pearl, a few people took advantage of the night to go to the nameless mountain together.
However, the luck of these people was much worse than that of the children who had been lost in the mountains before.
As soon as a few people left, they never returned.
The news of the disappearance of the villagers of Wangjia Village has once again shattered the tranquility of this small, almost isolated village.
Although those people secretly went up the mountain, they also greeted their families.
On the first day of disappearance, the family did not dare to speak out, and these family members also hoped that those people could really bring out some treasures.
On the second day, there was still no news, and the families of several people began to get anxious, and these family members gathered together, and after discussing for a while, they decided to wait and see for a while.
Day 3...... There is still no news.
The family members who remained in the village couldn't sit still at all. The nameless mountain is not high, not far from the village, and according to the people who participated in the rescue that day, even the cliff is only thirty or forty meters away from the bottom of the cliff.
Something must have happened.
On the third day, the families of those who disappeared, and then someone remembered that the dolls couldn't get out of the mountain before, wasn't it because the ghost hit the wall?
Legend has it that Nameless Mountain has monsters that can eat people. If this is true, how can it be good?
The families of the missing man finally couldn't hold back their anxiety and reported the case.
The police who received the report couldn't help but shake their heads, this nameless mountain has always been calm and quiet, it's only been a few days, how can there be accidents one after another?
Could it be that those young men ran out to play and made up a story to deceive the family and make everyone think that something really happened?
Although he muttered in his heart, the police still left to check on the scene.
When they reached the cliff, they saw a thick hemp rope tied to the big stone on the top of the mountain. The other end of the hemp rope hangs down the cliff.
The twine was empty. Nothing.
It seems that there are really people here, but how many people have been here is not sure. Because many villagers from Wangjia Village arrived before the police.
The villagers were all standing on the edge of the cliff and watching, although a few were eager to climb down the hemp rope. was severely reprimanded by the village chief who learned the news.
The police who came to handle the case. One old and one young. The older one is nearly fifty years old. The young one looks twenty-four or five, has just graduated, and looks stunned.
The little policeman saw that everyone was looking around the rope on the cliff. I was also a little confused, and immediately wanted to go down to find out, but was stopped by the old policeman.
"Tell me about the situation. "The old policeman is experienced after all, and he is not in a hurry to organize people to climb down the cliff, but asks the village chief, who looks very dignified.
The village chief only hesitated for a moment, remembering that several lives were at stake, so he took out a box in his pocket and handed it to the old policeman.
When I opened the box, I saw that there was the night pearl inside.
The village chief truthfully explained the origin of the night pearl and said his guess: when the pearl rolled down from the tiger's hand that day and night, it was too conspicuous, and it was looked at by people with intentions, so this is what happened.
After listening to the village chief's speculation, the old policeman had a score in his heart. He asked the village chief to keep a few young adults, and the rest were sent back, and staying here was also a hindrance.
Although everyone did not want to leave, especially the families of the missing people, they reluctantly left when they heard that they might hinder the police from finding someone.
The old policeman beckoned the little policeman and the few young adults left behind to rub a few long hemp ropes, and ordered the little policeman to guard on it, one end of the hemp rope was also tied to the boulder, and the other end was tied to his waist.
The hemp rope was lowered very slowly, and the old policeman was unhurried to check the situation around the cliff.
The weather was fine for the past two days, although there was a lot of dew in the mountains, but because of this, he could clearly see the messy footprints on the cliff wall during the slow descent.
The footprints kept pointing downward, matching the hemp rope that had hung from the boulder earlier.
If you count the footprints of the people who came down to save the children a few days ago, these footprints are exactly the same as the number of missing people.
The old cop made a note of this.
But as it fell, it fell, and the old policeman found something strange, and the footprints disappeared halfway up the mountain!
He hurriedly greeted the above, and asked the person above to pull him up a little, all the way up to the section where the footprints had just disappeared.
He searched carefully.
There it is!
The footprints are gone.
But why?
The old policeman was puzzled, and these footprints disappeared very abruptly.
Could it be that those missing people have fallen here?
But if one person falls, it doesn't matter, how can several people fall here in a row?
This is completely unreasonable!
There was only one rope, which also showed that those people came down one after another. Besides, the messy footprints from before were all overlapping one by one.
Although the old policeman quickly made a deduction, he still asked the people above to search him to the bottom of the cliff first, just in case.
There was nothing at the bottom of the cliff. Except for the marks left by the previous search and rescue of Huzi, there are no marks of other people's activities after falling or descending the rope.
The old cop returned to the place where the footprints had disappeared.
The people on top were already sweating profusely. The old policeman was also a little anxious.
His hands groped around the cliff face.
The cliff face is bare, all rocks and dirt, and a few green vegetation are scattered in the middle.
The old policeman's hands groped all over the surrounding rocks, but still found nothing.
He was also a little discouraged. I wondered in my heart, is there a possibility that the missing people climbed up again when they were halfway down the mountain?
Soon, he rejected the idea again.
It seems that the only way to find the answer is on the cliff.
The old policeman wiped the sweat from his forehead. His waist has been strangled by hemp rope for so long, and he still can't stand it. He looked around, carefully stepping on two slightly protruding places with his feet, and holding a crack in the stone in one hand, hoping to relieve the pain in his lower back.
But at this time. The rope around his waist loosened. The power that had been transmitted by the rope that had been passed through guò suddenly leaked.
The old policeman was unprepared, he was shocked, his feet were not stable, and he slipped a little. The horn of his forehead struck on the rock.
He hadn't had time to feel the pain yet. Another huge force came from his waist. Immediately, another head poked out from above and asked him if he was okay.
It turned out that the person who pulled the rope for him before was a little weak.
It's just a false alarm.
The old policeman waved his hand. Indicates that there is nothing to do. His heart relaxed, he felt a little pain in his forehead, and wiped it with his hand.
Just now, my forehead was accidentally broken, and my skin was traumatized, so there was no big problem. The most important thing now is to carefully search for clues about a few missing people.
There was nothing mysterious about the rocks around him, and now he had to look farther away. He turned sideways, tiptoe to the right.
There, there is a protruding stone block on which to step on.
Step on his right foot and feel his hand for a place to grasp.
And when his right hand reached out to a clump of green vegetation, he was stunned.
There was a cold touch in his palms, round, small, and smooth.
What is this?
The old policeman didn't have time to think about it, and the rocks in front of him suddenly moved.
On the cliff wall, which was originally tightly closed and could not see a trace, the mountain rocks moved slowly, but in a moment's effort, a narrow road appeared in front of him.
There were a few people lying on their stomachs at the Yongdao crossing.
It was the villagers of Wangjia Village who disappeared three days ago.
……
The missing villagers were recovered. However, when they were found, they were in a coma, and it took another three days for them to wake up.
These people were all villagers who participated in Huzi's rescue that day, and after seeing the night pearl in Huzi's hand, they felt that something was wrong. After discussing it for a while, they decided to go to the mountains in the middle of the night to touch it, and if they could really get the treasure, even if it was only one, it would be enough to sell it.
And their luck was really good, one of them named Wang Liu, the first one went down the rope, and in order to strengthen his courage, he also had a sickle pinned to his waist.
Wang Liu's courage was not too big, and when he went down, he accidentally cut his hand with a sickle, and blood came out at that time, but fortunately, the wound was not deep, so he wiped it on the vegetation next to him.
As a result, he found the road that was also accidentally discovered by the old policeman.
The corridor opened, and Wang Liu beckoned a few companions to come down together.
After the group entered the Yongdao, they supported each other to move forward, but the Yongdao was too long, and they seemed to be unable to finish it. Everyone panicked, thinking that they had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and finally ran back to their lives.
The way back was as endless as the way they came, and the last few of them fell asleep exhausted and dazed, and when they opened their eyes again, they were back in the village.
Although nothing was fished out of this trip, at least the people came back safely. A few people were caught by their families and taught a lesson.
But that's not the end of the story.
The old policeman was very curious about the magical corridor, and when he rescued people, he also took a quick look, and felt that the shape of the corridor was very similar to a tomb, and the surrounding walls were also carefully polished, maybe it would be a big tomb.
Since the location of this tomb has been known to the people of Wangjia Village, it is impossible to say when it will attract tomb robbers.
In order to protect the national heritage, the old policeman reported the matter when he returned to the town.
The local government received the report and took the matter very seriously, so it reported it again and requested a protective excavation of the tomb.
Then, Sun Wansi's parents went to the nameless mountain in Wangjia Village
