The mountain wind howled like a woman's whimper. Fang Yu was half asleep all night, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that his mobile phone was out of battery, and there was still 70% electricity when he went up the mountain yesterday. He took out the charger from his bag, charged his phone, and after a while, the text message prompts rang one after another. He took a look, Qin Qing hit two, and Zhao Lanshan's secretary and driver each hit two. for before he came, let them take some money and bring it here. Now it is no longer enough to rely on the police to search the mountains and find people, and there is a brave man under the heavy reward, and he plans to mobilize local villagers to help find people. Of course, if Zhao Lanshan was "retained" by a villager here, for the sake of money, maybe they could let him live for two more days.

Fang Yu came first, just to give the secretary and the driver time to move. Now, as he said, the secretary has advertised in local reports, radio and television stations, providing 100,000 informants, 500,000 people found, 2 million alive, and 5 million for those who are alive and well, and 5 million for those who have broken their arms and legs.

The bell rang.

This is the bell that reminds the monks of their morning lessons. The morning class is not over, and there is no food. Fang Yu had food in his bag, but for some reason, he wanted to make a good impression on the people in this temple, so he went to morning class hungry as well.

Today he saw the presiding officer, who was sitting among the monks, bowing his head and reciting the sutras silently. He seemed to sense Fang Yu's gaze, looked over, and nodded at him.

The morning class is one hour, and after the reading is over, the teachers begin to ...... Cook.

Some people go to the well behind the temple to fetch water, some people dig up cabbage and radishes buried in the soil, and some people sweep the floor and set up tables and chairs.

After the water is fetched, the rice and vegetables are washed first, and the used dirty water is picked out by the monks. The stove has been lit, and the masters add most of the water to the pot, then pour in the rice, cover the lid, and start kneading the dough to make steamed buns.

Fang Yu stood beside him for a while, tentatively stepping forward to help, but he didn't expect that the masters didn't reject it at all. He wanted to help chop vegetables, so the master directly let the board out.

There are several stoves in the kitchen, and the masters are also very fast, Fang Yu has cut ten cabbages, the steamed buns have been steamed, and when he finishes cutting the radish, the porridge has been boiled, and the masters close the stove door halfway, and let the porridge in the pot slowly roll.

The dish is the same as last night, roasted tofu with cabbage and radish. After Fang Yu finished cutting the cabbage and radish, his arm was almost unable to lift it, and the master who was originally cutting the vegetables had been waiting beside him, seeing that he couldn't do it, he took over, patting garlic, chopping green onions, slicing ginger, and stir-frying.

The steamed buns are also steamed, and each one is bigger than a human head. The master who steamed the steamed buns picked up all the steamed buns into the basket, the fire was not extinguished, and put a pot of water, and then while putting raw eggs into it, he turned around and counted the people, Fang Yu saw that the master counted him in.

The porridge is ready, the dishes are ready, and the eggs are boiled, one for each person.

Fang Yu had felt weird since last night, and this morning it was even more obvious. He stood with his masters, and none of them "looked the other way" at him.

It's like...... He was also a monk.

When he sat down to eat breakfast, Fang Yu secretly counted the monks, I don't know if it was nervous, he always felt that there were a few people here looking at him. He still has a hand at remembering people, even if he doesn't remember names, he can remember people's faces. Yesterday he came late, and the light in the room was not good, but he could still remember the appearance of most people—at least he could distinguish between square and round faces, and he would not be mistaken.

After breakfast, Fang Yu went to say goodbye to the host, he originally just came to take a look, observe whether this temple was related to Zhao Lanshan's disappearance, and then went to the town to preside over the search and rescue. But today he changed his mind, and the search and rescue was handed over to Zhao Lanshan's secretary and driver, and he still had to continue to stay in the temple.

He felt that this temple was unusual.

When the host saw him coming, he learned that he was going down the mountain, so he said that he would drop him down.

Fang Yu asked, "The master is also going out?" ”

The host said, "Go find Master Zhao." ”

Fang Yu didn't expect that the people in this temple would go to Zhao Lanshan! I was stunned for a moment. As a result, he went to the courtyard with the host, and when he saw that all the masters were there, the host said, "Let's go." The masters went out of the mountain gate in twos and threes, and went to the mountains.

Fang Yu asked, "Do the masters have to look for Zhao Lanshan every day?" ”

The presiding officer said, of course, "We are responsible for the disappearance of the donor in the temple." ”

There was no one else in the temple, and the host personally sent Fang Yu to the foot of the mountain. The bus stop at the foot of the mountain said that there are two buses a day, Fang Yu wanted to call the secretary or the driver to call a taxi from the town to pick him up, but the host stood with him for a while, and a three-wheeler drove on the other side of the road, and suddenly drove to the two of them, and the driver on the bus stopped the car when he saw the host, and shouted very affectionately: "Master!" Where to? Piggyback! ”

The host asked Fang Yu to get into the car and said to the driver, "Please send Fang Shi to his friend in the town." ”

"No problem!" Said the driver. Suddenly drove out a few hundred meters, Fang Yu saw that the host was still looking at them at the intersection, and the driver said, "The masters in this temple are all good people!" ”

Fang Yu returned to the town, and the secretary had already called in a notary public as he said, and took a video to take it to the TV station. This is to prove to the townsfolk that the bounty they are talking about is real and valid.

The secretary said to Fang Yu: "Brother Fang, my brother Zhao has news, right?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head, "No." I came yesterday and went to the temple to have a look. ”

"That's a wild temple." The secretary complained, "I don't let Brother Zhao come, I don't want to go to the temple to play as many famous temples as I want, I have to come to this kind of wild temple!" ”

Fang Yu said, "Let's go, let's go to the police station." ”

I went to the police station to give a pennant and donated a car, and then Fang Yu sat in his office with the police chief and chatted.

The police also made great efforts to find it.

"Until now, no one has seen him." The police officer in charge said, "Our town is not far from the city, and there are more than a dozen cars every day. Although there are many cars, they are all cars from two companies, and there are only □□ drivers who have asked and said they have never seen them. ”

The town is small and has the advantage of being small, the foreign population is small, and the people in the town know each other. It is not difficult to find Zhao Lanshan.

Before the police arrived, they not only rummaged through the station and taxi company, but also through all the family hotels in the town. There are also various projects in these family hotels, and they are worried that someone will see that Zhao Lanshan will hurt him if he sees that he is rich.

The police chief told Fang Yu the truth, "No one can be found yet, we guess...... The person may have been killed. It's winter, and it's not easy for corpses to smell, which makes it a great convenience to hide them. We have a lot of mountains here, so we take a bag of plastic sheeting, throw it on a tricycle, and drive it to the mountains to bury it wherever it goes, because there are many animals in the mountains, and by the time they can be found, they have turned into bones. ”

Even Fang Yu couldn't say that Zhao Lanshan would not see the color and go to a small shop with a special service sign.

"We will definitely do our best. It's not bad for you to advertise on TV, if someone sees that he has money and is reluctant to kill him, we still have a chance to rescue people. Said the police chief.

"Thank you." Fang Yu shook hands with the police chief.

"We'll let you know as soon as there's news." The police chief sent Fang Yu to the door.

The driver was waiting in the car at the door, and he took Zhao Lanshan's car out of the police station. Zhao Lanshan came in a car, and after he disappeared, the car was towed to the police station. After taking it out today, the driver saw that the car had already run more than 80 kilometers.

"These cops ......" the driver patted the steering wheel hatefully.

Fang Yu stared at the dashboard, thought for a while, and said, "You drive the car to the bottom of Zaoshan Mountain first, which is where you put Lao Zhao down." ”

"Okay." Said the driver.

When the car arrived at the foot of Zaoshan Mountain, Fang Yu calculated the distance, and subtracted from the more than 80 kilometers, leaving 56 kilometers. He got out of the car, looked around the car, crouched down to look at the chassis and the tires.

This car is Zhao Lanshan's newly bought Hummer H6, and Fang Yu can understand why he drove this car here. And when he got here, would he have not driven this car?

Navigation is useless in this kind of mountain, and there are no obvious landmarks around as far as the eye can see. Of course, the police also checked Zhao Lanshan's car and deduced where he might drive, but in the end they didn't find anything.

Fang Yu asked the driver to leave the car and him behind and let him go back to town.

After the driver left, he sat in the car and smoked a cigarette, calmed down, started the car, and set off in a random direction.

Fang Yu and Zhao Lanshan had more than once drove around the vast wilderness as they wanted, but they never deviated too far from the road, so there was no danger.

In the choice of the road, he is different from Zhao Lanshan. He likes to walk along the water source and enjoy the scenery that is completely different from the city; And Zhao Lanshan prefers to "" the car, where it is not easy to walk, he prefers to go there. In his words, "The car has been bought, is it enough to just let it walk on the ground?" ”

Zhao Lanshan likes to challenge the limits of the car, so his car is very expensive, and every time he goes out, he basically has to overhaul it when he comes back.

This time, Fang Yu imitated Zhao Lanshan's habits, where the ditch has to go from the bottom of the ditch, where there is a slope, you must climb up. It was eleven o'clock when he came out of town, and it was half past one when he got to the bottom of Zaoshan, and it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Nearly four hours passed, and he walked into a col surrounded by mountains on three sides.

There are no trees here, just thin branches growing together with weeds. However, all kinds of weeds grow taller than people, and the clumps of weeds block the road, and when he came over just now, the car was almost planted in a ditch, and it was all weeds that blocked his vision, so that he could not see the situation on the road.

The ground is full of potholes, and when you look up, under the dim sky, surrounded by continuous mountains, one after another, as if you will never be able to get out of the embrace of the mountain.

It was very cold in the mountains, and Fang Yu got out of the car for a while, and his hands and feet were so cold that he couldn't feel anything.

It gets dark quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun sets down the mountain, and the darkness falls. Fang Yu turned around, he could still see the road outside when he came, and now when he looked again, there was darkness ahead.

He took out his phone and looked at the time, it was exactly 5:20.

He climbed into the car, turned on his headlights, and walked back the way he came.

An hour later, he began to suspect that he was on the wrong track. The surrounding area is the same deep mountains and grasses, the mountains in the distance are no longer visible, the nearby potholed land, the stones on the side of the road, and the grass under the feet are both strange and familiar.

Fang Yu could only continue to drive forward with a blind trust, and in the end, he no longer looked at the road next to him, but only drove according to his intuition.

Two hours later, he stopped. According to the time, he should be at the foot of Zao Mountain at this time, and even if there is a deviation, it should not be far away.

He didn't get out of the car, sat in the car and smoked another cigarette.

When he had a cigarette butt left, he was already planning to stay in the car for the night and find his way tomorrow after dawn.

At this time, the headlights shone on a pair of legs.

Fang Yu quickly extinguished the cigarette and reached out to quietly hold the stun baton next to his seat.

"Master Fang." The man said.

It's hosting!

Fang Yu suddenly found that this was the place where the morning host sent him away!

The host said, "Master Fang, do you want to spend the night tonight?" ”

Fang Yu was silent for a while, then picked up his backpack and got out of the car and said, "Yes." ”

"Okay, Master Fang, please come with me." The host said.

Fang Yu followed the host and walked less than ten meters before he saw the steps of the mountain gate leading to the Eight Treasures Temple.

He looked back at the car, which was still parked in place.

"Master Fang." The host said, carrying a lantern in his hand.

Fang Yu turned back, thanked him, and walked ahead.
