Qian Xiaodao's mind had already been brought in by Su Shu, he originally thought that this was just a relatively strange incident, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He immediately asked, "What information?" ”

In his travelogue, the ranger mentions a unique aspect of Xilai Village. At that time, there were four ethnic groups in Xilai Village, each ethnic group had 32 households, and each household had four people, and the whole village had a total of 512 people. ”

"Although this number is a bit large for a mountain village, it is only for this, right?" Lin Yuhao said.

Su Shu continued: "When the ranger lived in the village, he discovered a very special phenomenon, that is, at that time, a child was born in the village, and after the child was born, there would be an elderly man in the family who chose euthanasia. ”

"Euthanasia?"

Su Shu nodded: "Yes." Although the ranger himself didn't figure out what was going on, it seems that Xilai Village has always had such a custom. Moreover, they have an ancestral teaching, in any case, the number of people in the village cannot exceed 512, and likewise cannot be less than 512. ”

Qian Xiaodao frowned and said, "If you want to complete such an ancestral training, it is impossible to rely on one village alone, right?" ”

"Yes, if the grandparents were very young when the grandson was born, then one of the grandpa and grandma would have to leave the village and live in another village. This is true of every clan and every household in the village. Su Shu paused and continued, "The ranger asked the people of the village why they had to be like this, and at first the ranger thought that he was just following the ancient precepts, but later he learned that if the extra people did not leave, the newborn child would die. ”

"Did the ranger find out why?" Lin Yuhao asked.

"I don't know, because it's just a fragment, and all other information is gone."

Qian Xiaodao frowned, and suddenly asked, "What is the name of the other village where the clansmen are settled?" Is there any mention of it? ”

"Yes, it's called Yao Village."

"The guy in the gossip?"

"Hmm."

Qian Xiaodao couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "There should be some relationship between the two, in short, no matter what, let's go first and have a look." ”

After driving for more than half an hour on the mountain road, two police cars suddenly appeared in front of them, and a checkpoint was set up in front of them.

"Master, there is a police checkpoint in front of you."

"Police?"

Qian Xiaodao frowned, immediately stepped forward, and looked through the windshield.

Sure enough, there was already a policeman in front of him waving a stick in his hand, making gestures to lose his memory and pull over.

"Master, what should I do?"

"What else can I do? Do so. ”

The car pulled over, and two criminal policemen walked over one left and one right.

Lin Yuhao probed out and asked a criminal policeman, "Dude, what's the matter?" ”

When the criminal policeman saw that the front bar of the car had fallen off, he couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with your car?" ”

"Oh, it's okay, I saw that there were no cars or people on the road before, and the road was wide, so I gave my sister a practice, and then, she was a novice, and it hasn't been a few days since I got my driver's license, you know."

Lin Yuhao shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression.

The two criminal policemen glanced at each other, and one of them said: "You have a car of four people, what are you doing running into the mountains when you have nothing to do?" ”

Lin Yuhao smiled: "Of course it's camping." ”

"Camping? This road is further inside but it is deep in the mountains, at this time, there are all kinds of beasts in the mountains, in the past two days, there have been several travelers who have lost contact, you are now going in again, isn't this blocking us? ”

"Isn't it common for a traveler to go missing? We just found a place with mountains and rivers to camp, spend a romantic evening, and go back early tomorrow morning. Lin Yuhao said again, "Besides, the law doesn't prohibit camping in the mountains, right?" ”

The criminal police had nothing to say, and was about to let go, Su Shu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said in a voice that made people can't help but soften when they hear it: "Officer, shouldn't the loss of contact with the donkey friend be the business of the search and rescue team, why are you here?" ”

Although you can often see beautiful women on TV and mobile phones, after all, through the screen, the feeling can only be said to be average; Right now, seeing a beauty like Su Shu at close range, and her voice is so tender as water, it makes the two policemen feel that their bones are crispy.

One of them preemptively said: "There was a homicide in the wood company in front, so we set up a checkpoint here." ”

"Homicide?"

Seeing Lin Yuhao's curious baby's expression, the criminal police didn't take the time to explain to them, and then moved the fence of the switch card.

The car continued to move forward, and not long after passing the checkpoint, Su Shu suddenly said: "I hope the murder of the wood company has nothing to do with what we want to investigate." ”

"Anyway, let's talk about it when we get there."

After a short drive ahead, I saw a sign, and there was a fork in the road, and the message on the sign was as follows: "Lin Mu Sen Wood, five hundred meters ahead." ”

About ten minutes later, Lin Yuhao pointed to the left front and said, "Master, I see the village." ”

Lowering the window glass, Qian Xiaodao poked his head out of the car.

From the outside, it is a peaceful mountain village.

As in most mountain villages, there is not a single young man in sight.

The village looked desolate, with weeds growing on the roofs, yards, and walls of many wooden houses, and some of them even collapsed without anyone caring about them.

After a quick glance, Qian Xiaodao turned to Lin Yuhao: "Haozi, park the car at the entrance of the village." ”

"Okay."

When the car was stable, Qian Xiaodao took the lead in opening the car door, and his sister-in-law followed him step by step.

As soon as he got out of the car, Qian Xiaodao couldn't help but take a deep breath and praised: "The air in the mountain is really fresh." ”

"Master, this place is even more desolate than I imagined."

Lin Yuhao walked over, still holding a camera in his hand, ready to shoot.

"Hey, don't shoot."

Qian Xiaodao saw it and hurriedly stopped it.

"What's wrong?"

"You don't even know the most basic common sense. In our living environment, there are three places where you must not take pictures. ”

Qian Xiaodao glanced around and continued: "These three places are tombs, ancestral halls, and deep mountains."

"Master, I can understand the grave and the ancestral hall, it's because the camera will shoot something unclean, but why can't the mountains?"

"The deeper the mountain, the fewer people there are; Where there are few people, the aura will naturally be sufficient, and such an environment is easy to breed mountain goblins. These guys are much more difficult to deal with than the lonely souls wandering around the cemetery. ”

Lin Yuhao listened, put away the camera immediately, and immediately said, "Why is there no one in this place?" Didn't you say that there were still 37 old people in the village? ”

Stretching out his hand to take his sister-in-law's tender hand, Qian Xiaodao said to the two people beside him: "Go in and have a look." (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
