"Hehe, that's right, right? This tea is really good. Zhao Chen smiled, leaned closer to Gao Jin and lowered his voice, and said, "Do you have any plans for coming this time?" Do they have anything to do with that monster? ”

Gao Jin said truthfully: "I didn't have a plan, I did just arrived here." I haven't even inquired about where those six people live, so it's close to the word. However, what I said just now, you don't seem to take it to heart. This time the situation is really dangerous, listen to me, don't meddle. ”

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, I am in charge, and it is impossible to stand idly by." If there's any danger, how are you going to come back? ”

"Hey, I'm saying it anyway, it's up to you whether you listen or not." Gao Jin knew that persuasion would not be effective, so he asked instead, "Since you have been here for so many days, have you found anything?" What kind of cultural festival is this, is there any problem? ”

"It's not surprising that there is a tradition of drinking Fushi tea during the Great Summer Season, which is said to have existed more than 500 years ago. However, this cultural festival has only started in the last ten years, and it is held every year around the summer heat. It should just be a coincidence. Zhao Chen told Gao Jin some of the information he knew.

It turns out that this Qingniu Mountain is neither high nor dangerous, but the mountain is low and does not have much momentum, but the shape is like a sleeping bull, the shape of the four hooves is quite similar, and there are two large stones like horns at the head of the cow, so it has this name.

Tea and herbs are abundant in the mountains, and there is a clear spring that lasts all year round. Since ancient times, there has been a custom in Luojia Village at the foot of Qingniu Mountain. Every year, during the solar term, the villagers will put some tea in the pavilion at the entrance of the village to relieve the heat for passers-by for free. Over the years, it has become a culture that has been handed down.

"I always felt like there were too many people, and something didn't seem right." Gao Jin always felt that there were too many people in this village, and even if there was a festival, there should not be so many people gathered. What he was most worried about was that the current situation was a game created by that evil spirit.

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "Anyway, it will be over tomorrow, and the tourists will leave then." As he spoke, his phone rang. Zhao Chen picked it up and took a look, then immediately stood up and said to Gao Jin: "There is a situation, come with me." ”

Gao Jin hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up as well. Zhao Chen hurriedly paid for the tea, and then left the teahouse with Gao Jin quickly. I walked around the alleys, crossed the road, and came to the village office in the East Village.

There were already seven or eight people standing in the small courtyard of the village office, all young men. All green clothes and trousers, the clothes are printed with the words of Luojia Village Security Association. The leader is a middle-aged man in a gray suit, with a fat head and big ears and a pair of sunglasses, but his expression is a little nervous.

As soon as this person saw Zhao Chen arrive, he immediately ran over to greet him. grabbed Zhao Chen's hand and said breathlessly, "Brother Zhao, something big has happened this time." ”

"Don't worry, Village Chief Luo, what's going on?" Zhao Chen looked at the young man standing in the courtyard and asked, "What are they doing here?" ”

"Ouch, don't mention it. A tourist just came over and said that one of his friends had gone missing on the mountain. It was the morning, and he thought that the friend had gone out of the mountain with someone else. Who knows, I waited for most of the day when I came back to the inn, but I still couldn't see anyone come back. The phone couldn't get through again, so I came to ask for help in a hurry. Village Chief Luo said in a low voice.

"No, how big is Qingniu Mountain? Will you get lost? Zhao Chen frowned, as if he didn't believe it.

There is no mountain scenery on this Qingniu Mountain, that is, several tea gardens and medicine gardens. Tourists go up the mountain to watch camellia and pick herbs. The mountains are low, and the trails crisscross the mountains and are not difficult to walk. I've never heard of someone getting lost in the mountains.

"I don't know the details, and now I'm going to organize people to go up the mountain to look for it. But you can't make too much movement, and it's not good to alarm other tourists. So, I'd like to ask you for your help and take someone up the mountain to find it. Please, you must help my brother with this. Village Chief Luo was a little excited.

"Don't panic first, things haven't been figured out yet, don't rush into action." Zhao Chen thought for a moment, looked up at the young man in the small courtyard, and said to Village Chief Luo: "In this way, you send me the photo of that person." I'll take two people into the mountains to look for them, and you ask them to look for them in the village as well. ”

Village Chief Luo hurriedly took out his mobile phone and passed the photo to Zhao Chen. She also nagged and said, "Such a big girl is lost in the mountains, but don't do anything." ”

Zhao Chen picked up his mobile phone, looked at the photo he had just received inside, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked rhetorically, "This is Liu Jing, are you kidding?" I saw her just now. ”

"No, this picture was sent to me by the man who came to ask for help. He's still in the office, so you can go in with me and ask him. Village Chief Luo was also a little surprised, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the office building of the village office. Zhao Chen followed quickly, and Gao Jin naturally followed.

This office building is a three-story building, and Village Chief Luo took Zhao Chen up to the second floor. When I came to the village chief's office, I pushed the door and entered. But suddenly exclaimed, Zhao Chen and Gao Jin hurriedly rushed into the office.

I saw that the office was empty, and there were no other figures. Village Chief Luo was covered in cold sweat, and was taking out his handkerchief, and wondered: "It's strange, why is this person missing?" I was still here just now. ”

"Could it be gone, don't you know?" Zhao Chen looked inside the office and walked out to take a look. Standing at the door, he said, "Did you go up there?" ”

This office is only forty square meters, with two desks, a sofa and a few benches, and there is no place to hide. And there is only one staircase to enter and exit, and each window is welded with iron strip guards on the outside, and it is impossible to leave through the window. They had been standing at the top of the stairs, but they hadn't seen anyone come down.

"No, it's locked." Village Chief Luo scratched his head, walked out of the office, walked to the corner of the stairs, looked at it and said, "The iron door is still closed, and the key is on me, no one can go up." ”

"I think this is a prank, do you remember what the informant looked like?" Zhao Chen took out a cigarette, handed one to Village Chief Luo, and lit one himself.

Village Chief Luo took the cigarette, looked angry, and scolded: "Fuck, I recognize this person when he turns to ashes." In his twenties, about 1.7 meters, quite thin, he claims to be a journalist. What's it called, what's Wu? Scratching his head, frowning and thinking for a while, he suddenly slapped his face and said, "Yes, it's called Wu Youren."

"Nobody? Hey, isn't this clear, people are playing tricks on you. Nobody, nobody, nobody, who would be called such a name? Zhao Chen shook his head angrily, turned to Gao Jin and said, "It's a false alarm, let's go." ”

"This ......" Village Chief Luo was a little embarrassed on his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, I'm really sorry to let you run away in vain." Zhao Chen and Gao Jin were sent out of the village office, and at the end, they took out two packs of cigarettes and stuffed them into the two of them.

Zhao Chen was not polite and took the cigarette. said: "Village Chief Luo, you have people keep an eye around to see if you can find out the mischievous person." If you have any questions, please contact me immediately. ”

"Certainly, definitely, I'm really bothering you." Village Chief Luo agreed again and again.

Gao Jin didn't speak from the side from the beginning, and he kept an eye on Village Chief Luo. Because inadvertently, he saw that Village Chief Luo's eyes seemed to flash a trace of red. Moreover, there is some faint black gas on the seal hall at the center of the eyebrows. There is no abnormality in speech and demeanor, and there is no sense of monster breath at all.

This phenomenon shows that Village Chief Luo was confused by evil spirits, not possessed by monsters. Gao Jin saw it clearly, and he also knew it in his heart. He didn't shoot immediately, but kept quiet, trying to see what tricks he had.

And Gao Jin also noticed the place that he had been doubting in his heart. It turned out that he found that not only Village Chief Luo, but also many people in the village, including Zhao Chen, were wearing sunglasses. The styles are all identical, with large round lenses in light brown that completely block the eyes.

Although the sunlight is still very strong, if you wear glasses to block the light, not so many people wear them. The only possibility is to disguise the unusual red light in the eyes.

Coming out of the village office, Gao Jin said casually: "This village chief is just a little sloppy. By the way, are there any quieter inns here? I see so many tourists, will the rooms be full? ”

"Let's go, I know a family, now I'll take you there." Zhao Chen acted as a guide again. He walked straight to the east of the village with Gao Jin, walked around the village, and after a while, came to an inn.

This is a small farm yard, and the location is already very close to the foot of Qingniu Mountain. When you look up, you can see a large area of tea bushes on the mountainside not far away.

There was only one man in his fifties in the inn, who was cleaning in the courtyard. As soon as he saw the two of them walk in, he greeted them warmly. Zhao Chen pointed at Gao Jin and said, "Boss Luo, my friend is going to come here to play for a few days, do you still have a quiet room here?" ”

"Yo, you're here. Yes, yes, I have two more rooms here, I'll take you there. The boss put down the broom, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and said, "On the second floor, you can see the mountain view opposite." As he spoke, he led the way ahead.

As soon as Gao Jin walked into the courtyard, he kicked down the broom leaning next to him, as if intentionally or unintentionally. He hurriedly stopped, picked up the broom and put it away. When he walked forward again, he was already behind the boss and Zhao Chen.

At this time, in his right hand, there was also a purple fist glove. He deliberately crossed his hands and quietly put his fist on his left hand, secretly preparing. When he found out that there was something strange behind the sunglasses, he noticed that Zhao Chen's sunglasses were the same style as Village Chief Luo.

Therefore, he also paid close attention to Zhao Chen's eyes, and sure enough, he found something wrong. Zhao Chen's eyes also had some faint red light that was not easy to detect, and if he didn't look carefully from the side, he couldn't find it at all.
