Xiaohu said this and glanced at the village chief next to him, seeing that the village chief did not react angrily, Xiaohu continued: "The three of us wandered around in the ghost cave, Er Ya accidentally fell into a deep well in the hole, I and Xiaopang went down to the bottom of the well along the wall of the well, and found that there were many rooms under the ghost cave, and found a lot of bottles in one of the rooms, the bottles were sealed, and there was colorful water in them, Xiaopang said that it was a drink, I don't think so, Xiaopang opened a bottle and took a sip.

"Chubby drank the contents of the bottle?" Ye Zhenzhen asked in surprise.

"Well, after Xiaopang drank it, Erya also took a sip, I didn't drink it, they said that the things in the bottle had a sweet taste, and there was a milky flavor, like a drink, but there was a bitter taste, it was not very delicious, Xiaopang and Erya each brought a bottle out, I didn't bring it. Later, Xiaopang died, and Erya didn't know what to do?"

The village chief standing on the side explained in time, "Erya is the daughter of Liu Xiuying of Baizi Village, and also the granddaughter of Liu Shishi, a few days ago, the whole family died. ”

Ye Zhenzhen understood in her heart that the epidemic in Baizi Village and Paolou Village was related to the bottles in the ghost cave in Paolou Mountain, and the most important thing now was to figure out what the bottle in the ghost cave was.

Looking back at Nan Zhiqiao, he found that Nan Zhiqiao had dialed his mobile phone and simply told the disease control personnel in City B to go to Liu Xiuying's house in Baizi Village, block the scene, focus on finding the whereabouts of the reagent bottle, and after finding it, send it to the laboratory for testing in a safe and closed manner.

Hanging up the phone, Nan Zhiqiao walked up to Xiaohu and asked softly, "Xiaohu, can you take us to the ghost cave?"

Xiaohu hesitated a little, thinking to himself, after entering a ghost cave, Xiaopang and Erya's lives are gone, will I also lose my life again this time?

The village chief volunteered, "I also know the location of the ghost cave, I can take you there." ”

Nan Zhiqiao asked, "Village Chief, do you know the specific location of the room where the bottle is placed in the ghost cave?"

The village chief shook his head, "I don't know, I've been to the ghost cave before, but it's all waste building materials, nothing valuable, the older generation says that many people have died in the ghost cave, and a lot of unjust souls have gathered in it, so we villagers feel that it's unlucky inside, and we rarely go to it, and don't let children approach, an abandoned cave, I really didn't expect it to be the source of the plague." ”

"It's too early to say whether that cave is the source of the plague, and we'll find out when we investigate. Nan Zhiqiao faced Xiaohu again and said, "Xiaohu, you don't need to go to the ghost cave, as long as you tell the experience of the day again, especially what roads you have traveled after entering the ghost cave, the more detailed the better." ”

Xiaohu said it again according to Nan Zhiqiao's request, focusing on the experience of the three of them in the ghost cave, as well as the direction of the second Ya falling into the deep well, because Xiaohu is also a child, and he was in a state of play at the time, and he can't remember many details, Nan Zhiqiao listened carefully, but he only understood the approximate location, and the specific location had to be checked in the ghost cave in person.

After Xiaohu finished speaking, Nan Zhiqiao signaled that Xiaohu could leave, and asked the village chief to lead the way in front, and Nan Zhiqiao and his party wanted to go to the ghost cave of Paolou Mountain to explore in person.

Before going to the ghost cave, Nan Zhiqiao and his party sent the newly collected specimens back to the camp and handed them over to the local CDC to take back to the laboratory, while Nan Zhiqiao, Ye Zhenzhen and police officer Xiao Wang changed into ordinary protective clothing and set off with the tools commonly used in mountaineering.

Liu Dazhi, the village head, had a fear of the ghost cave in Paolou Mountain, and before leaving, he called four strong men in the village to join him, in case there were really any unjust ghosts.

On the way to Turu Mountain, the village chief Liu Dazhi followed Nan Zhiqiao and told all the things he knew about Turu Mountain.

Turret Hill is named after two abandoned turrets halfway up the mountain, and the abandoned turrets were built in the late thirties and early forties of the last century, when it was the period of the Second World War and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and it has a history of seventy or eighty years.

The Japanese also caught Zhuang Ding from nearby villages, saying that they were going to the mountains to mine, and many young and middle-aged laborers were caught on the Turret Mountain and became miners, and the village chief's grandfather was arrested at that time, but the village chief's grandfather had a skill and could cook, so he became a man on the mountain and worked on the Turret Mountain for more than two years.

For more than two years, there were constantly laborers sent to the Turret Mountain, nearby villagers, prisoners of war brought from the battlefield, in short, people were constantly sent up the mountain, but no one was ever sent down the mountain.

Nearby villagers are saying that the people who were sent to the Turret Mountain were exhausted or tortured to death by working in the mines, and the bodies were buried directly in the pit after death, and no one had seen what the facts were, because the people on the mountain had never returned.

The village chief's grandfather once sneaked home in the middle of the night and wanted to escape from the village with the family, but as soon as the front foot arrived home, the Japanese chased after him on the back foot, arrested the village chief's grandfather, and beat the old village chief, who was still a child at the time.

Since then, the family has not heard from the village chief's grandfather.

Until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese withdrew from the Turret Mountain, before the retreat, there was a loud sound of the earth shaking in the whole Turret Mountain, and the nearby villagers said that the Japanese blew up the mine pit in the mountain and buried the Chinese workers alive in it.

After the loud noise, the nearby villagers all went up the mountain to look for their relatives, but they searched all over the Turret Mountain, only on the mountainside behind the two turrets, found an abandoned cave, the cave is not big, it is full of discarded building materials, such as wood, cement, bricks and tiles, etc., no pit was found at all, let alone any pit, workers, and the shadow of relatives were not seen.

Everyone searched for a day and a night on the Turret Mountain, but they really didn't find it, so they retreated.

Soon after returning, the people who had been to the mountains had a strange disease one after another, and they all died after struggling at home for two or three days, and for a while, the sadness of losing their loved ones turned into panic, and people in the nearby villages continued to die of the same strange disease, and the population around the Turret Mountain was reduced by eight or nine tenths, and after many years, this strange disease slowly disappeared.

Since then, there is a legend left near the Turret Mountain, next to the turret of the Turret Mountain, there is a ghost cave, the ghost cave is full of unjustly killed ghosts, as long as someone approaches, they will be possessed by the unjust spirit, get a strange disease, and die quickly, therefore, for a long time, the Turret Mountain is a forbidden place for nearby villagers, until after the liberation, the situation has improved.

Ye Zhenzhen listened to the legend of Paolou Mountain told by the village chief, and thought to herself, although she didn't know what the so-called mine was, but after the nearby villagers died of strange diseases one after another, it should be an infectious disease, but the village chief did not know the symptoms of the infectious disease at that time, and these things were before liberation, there was no epidemiological historical data to check, and I couldn't determine what kind of infectious disease it was, and I don't know if it was related to this anthrax epidemic?

Thinking of the pit, Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Village Chief, do you know what kind of mine was mined on Turret Mountain back then?"
