Yan Yu turned on the flashlight on her phone and went to the bathroom, but when she came back, she still didn't see Poplar.

"Do you see the aspen?" Yan Yu stopped Fang Tong, who was about to enter the house to sleep.

"Topol?" Fang Tong paused, "Enter the room." ”

"Really?"

Yan Yu let go of Fang Tong, and Fang Tong entered the room.

came out after a while, frowning: "Lin Han said that he didn't go back when he came out, where did he go?" Toilet? ”

"I just came out of the bathroom." Yan Yu glanced back at the outside and said, "It's quite dark, will you get lost?" ”

"Probably not, he's a local, and he's familiar with this area."

"Do you want to look for it?"

"Let me shout."

Stupid way in the mountains, communication by shouting.

Fang Tong shouted, and soon Bai Yang responded.

"Go back right away."

It doesn't sound far, in the overhead direction.

The situation in the mountains is special, and the mountains run dead horses.

It sounds close, and I don't know how far I actually went.

Baiyang was a little strange, and Yan Yu's original plan to visit Liuzhai at night also failed.

If Baiyang colludes with human traffickers, won't Yan Yu go out to find death?

Knowing a dead end, she won't go.

Soon Poplar came back, Yan Yu was washing her face in the yard, she saw Poplar, smiled and nodded.

"It's scary at night in the mountains."

No lights, no sound.

"It's scary." Bai Yang stopped, and his eyes fell on Yan Yu, "The mountain is a cemetery, and there may be ghost fires at night." ”

What the hell? Isn't it white phosphorus?

"Is there a signal on the mountain?"

"Nope."

Poplar looked away, turned and walked away.

Yan Yu slept very lightly at night, and nothing special happened one night.

Following.

They had breakfast at the village chief's house and planned to continue their search in a nearby village.

As soon as he went out, the foolish son of the village suddenly ran over and grabbed Yan Yu and shouted loudly in the local dialect.

Yan Yu was startled and hurriedly pushed him away, the village chief's son staggered back half a step and almost fell, and the village chief also ran out and walked over quickly to support his son. glanced at Yan Yu and scolded his son loudly.

"Don't scold him, he didn't hurt me." After Yan Yu finished speaking, he pulled Bai Yang and said, "You explain to him and tell him to stop scolding." ”

After Bai Yang finished speaking, the village chief's face was still ugly, and he left with the fool.

Yan Yu rolled his eyes and walked in front with a bag on his back.

"What other villages are around here?"

"There are a few small villages, but they are more scattered, and they are all in the same situation." "There's not a good chance of finding someone. ”

Walking up a steep slope, Yan Yu stood firm and looked back at Baiyang, "Is Liuzhai far from here?" ”

Bai Yang was stunned, as if he didn't expect Yan Yu to ask like this.

His small eyes moved, and then he continued to walk up, and said, "Not close, two hours by car." ”

"Is it big?"

"Big, the biggest village in the neighborhood."

"What about the exact area?"

Poplar glared at her, "I don't know. ”

"Are there any people in Liuzhai who have been abducted and trafficked?"

Yan Yu looked directly into his eyes, and Bai Yang retracted his gaze and walked straight forward, "I don't know, no one called the police." ”

"Aren't you a local? And being sold to the village, I can't run out without a phone, how can I call the police? ”

Poplar's brow furrowed tightly, he squinted, gritted his teeth, and rolled his Adam's apple.

Strode forward without saying a word.

They walked to the entrance of the village, and Poplar turned back.

"Are you suspicious of me? You still look down on me? ”

"Topol!" Fang Tong scolded, "Let's say a few words, Yan Yu also cares about the missing people, and if you care, it's chaotic." It doesn't mean to infringe on you, don't be so sensitive, who will look down on you! ”

Yan Yu observed his expression, he disappeared mysteriously last night, and he was not very cooperative when looking for someone, and he had such a bad temper today. Locals, fluent in the local language, are police officers. All the clues, the evidence, point to something wrong with him.

"I'm sorry, I apologize if my tone makes you uncomfortable, I don't mean anything else." Yan Yu stepped forward and said to Bai Yang, "I'm just in a little anxious, it's my friend who is missing." ”

Poplar didn't respond to her, the ratio of the whites of his eyes to his black eyes was very incongruous, and his gaze was a little sinister.

Yan Yu took out his mobile phone, but the mobile phone still had no network service.

She looked at the top of the mountain, Chen Zheng had taken her to the mountain to find a signal before.

Will there be a signal at the top of the mountain here?

Maybe you can try.

Where did Chen Zheng go?

He said he was going to leave for a while, into the mountains or somewhere else?

Who is he?

If it was a pure bad guy, he would have no reason to help Yan Yu.

Suddenly, a dirty child ran over from the village, she rushed away from everyone and rushed straight to Yan Yu, running too fast and almost falling down. Yan Yu hurriedly supported her, the little girl's face was very dirty, but her facial features were very standard.

Yan Yu helped her stand firmly, "Be careful." ”

The girl's face was flushed and she seemed to be very afraid, and she stuffed a note into Yan Yu's hand.

opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound, pushed Yan Yu away and got up and ran.

"Yan Yu?"

Yan Yu clenched his hands and turned to face everyone, "It's okay, a child, probably curious." ”

Yan Yu fell to the end and opened the note in his palm.

The paper is a couplet pasted on the door, and the pen is replaced with coal.

The word is very decent, an English word.

Yan Yu hurriedly looked back, and the child was gone.

She hadn't seen the child yesterday, where did she come from?

The paper says help.

Save whom? How to save?

From whom did the note come from?

Yan Yu felt a chill in an instant, and his back was cold.

Shi Miaomiao in this village?

Or someone else?

Why give it to her?

Yan Yu was still driving, and Bai Yang told her the general direction.

They headed west.

The distance between the villages is too far away, scattered and remote.

I only went to one place in the morning, and there were no clues. The weather was hot, so they sat in the shade by the roadside to eat, and in the morning brought a lot of yellow flour flatbread from the village chief's house.

Yan Yu took two bites and took out his mobile phone.

"Will there be a signal around here?"

"Nope."

"I'll go to the top of the mountain to try, Zhang Wei, you and I together."

Zhang Wei was still eating, hot and tired, and didn't want to move at all.

"I'm still eating."

"I'm afraid of snakes, I'm more afraid of snakes, you come with me." Yan Yu talked nonsense for a reason, Zhang Wei bit the biscuit, took a bottle of water and trotted over.

Poplar glanced at Yan Yu disdainfully, chewing on the flatbread.

Yan Yu walked quickly, Zhang Wei followed behind her, muttering, "How can there be snakes on such a hot day?" Are you still afraid of snakes? ”

"Have you ever seen Shi Miao's words?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Yan Yu stuffed the note to him, "Is this what Shi Miaomiao wrote?" Is it her font? ”

"No, where did it come from? Help me? ”

Yan Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

It feels like a bit of a big head.

"If you don't know, forget it."

She stuffed the note back into her bag, and Yan Yu's bag was always carried with her.

A snake was lying lazily at the root of the tree, and Yan Yu didn't want to take care of it.

I took out my mobile phone to find a signal, but there was still no signal service.

Standing for a while, the sun was scorching.

"Let's go down."

"Can Shi Miaomiao still be found?" Zhang Wei was the most confused since Miao Miao was lost, he looked at the vast mountain. Turning around, his eyes fell on Yan Yu, and the corners of his mouth were pulled up to reveal a wry smile, "Do you say you can still find it?" Such a big and deep mountain? Where will she be? ”

"It's a long process to search, and I hope it's for me, and I don't necessarily find this setting. You are now young and frivolous, and you will feel that you have to take on the responsibility of searching. But what is the relationship between you and Shi Miaomiao? Nothing, wait for you to calm down. Maybe you'll give up and get tired. If they can't find it, as her family, as long as they live, they will definitely find it. ”

Yan Yu sighed and walked straight down the mountain.

Lin An disappeared, and she searched for six years.

Will you look for it again?

Yes, as long as she lives, she will keep looking for it.

Yan Yu looked up at the sky, and the scorching sun shone on the earth.

In the afternoon, they found another village, but there were still no clues.

Yan Yu parked the car on the side of the road, took a sip of water, turned his head and said, "I think Shi Miaomiao is near here, but we are looking for it with such fanfare, and it is hidden." ”

"Have you watched too many TV series?" Poplar choked her angrily.

"Maybe." Yan Yu was not angry, and smiled, "Finding someone is a long process, I want to stay for another day." ”

"I ask to leave!" Bai Yang and Lin Han said at the same time, Lin Han was a little embarrassed, scratching his head, "It's not a problem to look for it like this, we can't just accompany you like this, right?" ”

"We just weren't in the right place—"

As he spoke, a farm tricycle burst by.

Yan Yu glanced at the body, there was something pulling on the car, and it was covered with a colorful canopy.

The last signal given by Shi Miaomiao was sent by the bracelet, indicating that it was in a place where there was a signal. Where is the signal around here? Topol, you're a local, you know best, right? ”

"I really don't know."

Baiyang didn't cooperate at all, and Yan Yu finished drinking a bottle of water.

"I want to keep looking, what do you think?"

"Don't stay for a day longer, leave without a clue. Let them find a professional search and rescue team, we have few people, and now we are looking very blindly. Fang Tong looked at Yan Yu and then at Bai Yang, "What do you think?" ”

After a long silence, Poplar nodded, "Okay." ”

They returned to Tobacco Village, and after eating, Yan Yu put the dagger in his pocket and went out.

"Where are you going?"

"Wander around, eat."

Bai Yang and Lin Han both looked over, and Yan Yu smiled, "Why don't you go together?" Eat too much in the evening. ”

"No, tired." Lin Han leaned against the door and waved his hand.

Poplar turned his head, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, his gaze gloomy.

Yan Yu walked past the area of the village chief's house, immediately raised his vigilance, and quickly walked up.

She had observed, the villages were distributed, and the village chief belonged to the lowest position.

The other area is more concentrated.

There were no electric lights in the village, candles cost money, and many people went to bed early.

Yan Yu walked along the path.

Row by row went down, and it was who stuffed her with the note.

After walking for about half an hour, I suddenly heard a woman's shrill cry.

Yan Yu stopped.

About 300 meters down, there is a small courtyard.

In the twilight, there is only a rough outline.

Yan Yu opened the dagger and held it in his backhand.

Go down.

The man's voice was low and he didn't know what he was talking about. Yan Yu couldn't understand the local dialect, it was very late, and the moon quietly climbed up the branches and gradually illuminated the earth.

The woman's crying soon stopped, and Yan Yu heard a man's voice again.

Not alone.

"Yan Yu?"

Yan Yumeng turned around and saw Fang Tong, the dagger that had been exposed was stuffed back again, she looked at Fang Tong and said with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm coming with you."

Fang Tong lit a cigarette and took a deep breath and walked in front of her, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I was going for a walk, and when I heard the crying, I was curious."

"Curiosity kills cats." Fang Tong kicked the stones under his feet and said, "Anything can happen here, don't be too strange." ”

"You know what's going on?"

"It's poor here, and many people can't get a wife. A few men and a wife, a common thing. ”

Yan Yu clenched his fingers, but his face did not show anything.

"Does this mean that women have a high status or a low status of women?"

"Maybe it's high."

"Gao is still crying?"

Fang Tong laughed out loud and puffed out a cigarette, "Hey, do you have a boyfriend?" ”

Yan Yu understood what he meant, turned around and walked up, "That's not this kind of crying, crying like this, it's abuse." Domestic violence has been proposed and will be criminalized in the future. The trafficking policy has also come down, with both buyers and sellers convicted. Sooner or later, the law will cover every corner of China. ”

Fang Tong followed behind Yan Yu, and he glanced back.

Bounce off the soot and retract your gaze.

"Hopefully."

There may be a problem with the family, who sent the note out, Yan Yu can't be sure.

But now she can't look it up, it's too dangerous.

Back at the village chief's house, the village chief's son was sitting in the courtyard, and when he saw Yan Yu coming in, he stared at Yan Yu directly.

Yan Yu washed her face, and the village chief brought out the melon, she was disgusted by the sound she had just heard, and she was not in the mood to eat and went back to her room to sleep.

The rest of the people ate melons in the courtyard before going back to sleep.

The night fell silent.

The moon climbed into the air leisurely, and the moonlight shone in through the window.

Suddenly the deadbolt made a sound, very soft.

The knife hits the wood.

Yan Yu took his coat and put it on, took out a dagger from his bag and walked behind the door.

A knife came in through the crack in the door, carefully scraping the deadbolt, and the deadbolt moved little by little.

Finally, it opened, and the village chief pushed open the door and went straight to the bed.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, there was a sound behind the door, the village chief quickly turned around, Yan Yu kicked him over, and turned over to fold his other hand that came to attack. The village chief covered his mouth with something in his hand, what was it?

The village chief whined twice and soon collapsed on the bed, the knife in his hand falling to the ground.

Yan Yu let go of the village chief, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, there was a strong wind behind him, Yan Yu sideways a machete fell against her shoulder, the tip of the knife slashed Yan Yu's neck, and blood gushed out instantly.

Yan Yu slashed the dagger with his backhand, and the person screamed miserably, and the machete fell to the ground.

It's the foolish son of the village chief's family.

The family is murdered for money?

Yan Yu kicked away the fool, wiped a handful of blood from his neck, rushed out of the room and went straight to the upper room, kicking the door open, "Fang Tong!" Zhang Wei! If there is a problem, all up! ”

Silently, no one responded.
