Sun Fan's words were said lightly. When Wu Ming arrived in Laozhai, he knew why Sun Fan asked him to think about it. Although the name is Laozhai, like a place name, but it is only a place name, almost invisible to the human eye, if it is not for the smoke of the old and far away, Wu Ming thought that he had arrived in the barren mountains and mountains.

"Brother, I'll call you bigger," Sun Fan called Wu Ming, who got out of the car, "This place is evil, you should go back as soon as possible." ”

"How?" Wu Ming said with a smile.

Sun Fan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally got out of the car, squatted on the side of the road, took out a cigarette, and said, "Come on?" ”

Soft China, Sun Fan's little talk is not bad.

Lighting a cigarette and blowing into the air, Sun Fan seemed to have returned to the past, and said quietly: "Twenty years ago, there were many people here, and I was ten years old at that time. The elderly are provided for, and the sick are treated. The people in the stockade were self-sufficient, and the roads were not repaired at that time, and cars could not enter. However, one day, after someone went crazy and hanged himself, some people committed suicide one after another. The people of the village were panicked, and in three years, they died and walked, and there was only one-tenth left. I left with my mother the following year, and my father died in the village at that time, and he died the most strange death. ”

Remembering the painful memories, Sun Fan didn't want to recall more, and said directly: "Ordinary drivers don't come here." I see that you don't want to be a bad person, so by the way, let's take a look at the place where you were born. ”

Wu Ming looked up and saw that surrounded by mountains, there was a small village in the middle, and a small river loomed, sparkling and dazzling.

"Let's go back," Sun Fan sighed, "it's not clean here." I don't know what you said about Xiangshan, but I haven't heard it in my memory. At your age, you're probably a student, so it's normal to be curious. ”

Wu Ming shook his head and said, "Thank you, I want to take a look." Why don't you leave a phone number and get in touch. ”

Seeing Wu Ming's determination, Sun Fan no longer dissuaded, reported a number, and said, "If you want to go out, call me." ”

Looking at the taxi in the distance, Wu Ming carried the package on his shoulders and walked forward with firm steps. This place, he had to go, because as far as he could see, the entire terrain seemed to be similar to the map given by Ding Ziyi.

Climbing over a small hill and passing through a small cave, Wu Ming suddenly leaned against the wall at the entrance of the cave, his eyes flashing.

After a while, there was a sound of ticking footsteps in the cave, and they stopped and stopped, but they never came out. Wu Ming waited patiently, his breathing slowed down, and his body was tightly pressed against the wall, ready for a thunderous blow.

The sound in the cave sounded very careful, until half a minute later, a small figure popped out, looking left and right.

Wu Ming's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Here." ”

The man's body shook slightly, and he suddenly stepped back, trying to burrow into the hole. Wu Ming couldn't let him escape. When this person was on the plane, Wu Ming noticed his gaze, but he didn't want to startle the snake and dragged it until now. This person is either very good at martial arts, and he actually followed him from the airport to the village with such a swagger, or his head is not bright. Tracking Wu Ming, a big expert in the jungle, the other party's technique seems to be very difficult, just like a newborn baby, at the mercy of Wu Ming.

Wu Ming's figure appeared in front of the man in a flash, and with a palm slapp, the aura gathered in a radial circle, forming a small light blue handprint, which was directly imprinted.

The strong wind blew wildly, and the man screamed, and his hat was flipped over, revealing a face that shocked Wu Ming.

Ding Ziyi, it's actually Ding Ziyi.

Wu Ming's heart tightened, stepped forward, hugged Ding Ziyi's waist, and then followed by another palm, which connected with the original palm print.

Flutter!

There was a muffled thud, and a sonic boom rang out in the air. Wu Ming stood in front of Ding Ziyi, letting the strong wind blow and hunting.

The strong wind dissipated, Wu Ming looked at the delicate person trembling in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you?" ”

Ding Ziyi was like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered: "I'm just dropping by......"

Wu Ming said angrily: "Answer me, why don't you listen to my advice?" ”

Ding Ziyi didn't dare to look at Wu Ming, but just buried his head in his arms.

Wu Ming repeated: "Why do you want to come? ”

He was very angry, the trip to Lao Zhai was dangerous, Ding Ziyi should know. I repeatedly asked her not to come, but she was disobedient.

"Go back at once, don't follow me." Wu Ming hardened his heart and said.

Ding Ziyi hugged Wu Ming tightly and just shook his head.

"Obedient," Wu Ming sighed, "you should go back." ”

Ding Ziyi's eyes were red, he looked up at Wu Ming's eyes, and plucked up the courage to say, "I won't go back." ”

Wu Ming's heart swelled with anger, this is not child's play, it is a matter of losing his life at every turn.

Disciples, nine deaths, one life. But when he saw Ding Ziyi's stubborn eyes, Wu Ming's heart softened, and he said softly: "Be obedient, go back." I'll be back in a few days. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, which is not fun. ”

Ding Ziyi's eyes were red, and he said, "You always have to let me go." Why don't you let me take it with you? You don't like me at all, you just perfunctory me......"

Wu Ming was silent, not knowing how to explain to Ding Ziyi. But there are some things that cannot be soft-hearted. Ding Ziyi followed, something would definitely happen. He had a faint premonition that this operation was too dangerous.

"Go back." Wu Ming said.

"I won't!" Ding Ziyi held his head high, broke free from Wu Ming's embrace, and retreated three meters away, "You can't drive me away." Half of the road is facing the sky, and I have my own things to do. Mother's last mission was to find the things in the map. You give me back the map, that's mine. ”

Wu Ming laughed and said, "Are you cheating? ”

Seeing Wu Ming smiling, Ding Ziyi knew that the matter had passed, and as long as he was grinding for a while, the matter would be settled.

"Not really, the map is something left by my mother, and I only lent it to you at first, and I'm going to take it back now." Ding Ziyi said righteously, "Did you hear that, Wu Ming." I'm getting it back now. ”

Wu Ming shook his head, sighed, walked up to Ding Ziyi, and said softly: "You really think about it, this time the matter is too dangerous." You may never go back. I can't see my relatives, I can't see my friends. ”

"You are all I have, and if you don't have it, I have nothing." Ding Ziyi said quietly, "Wu Ming, why don't you understand? Let me follow you, even if I take care of your daily life, I'm a girl. ”

Wu Ming's heart was shocked, and he looked at Ding Ziyi, who boldly exposed his love, and was silent for a long time. The long-term gaze made Ding Ziyi's pretty face flush, but she was still shy and looked at Wu Ming.

When Wu Ming's body approached, Ding Ziyi unconsciously closed his eyes.

Wu Ming was a bit of a domineering taker, and Ding Ziyi reacted even more violently. I don't know how long it took, Ding Ziyi was a little out of breath, and gasped: "You don't drive me away?" ”

Wu Ming didn't answer, but took out the map, recompared the terrain, and sighed: "I don't know if there is anything I want on this trip." It's just a little bit of feeling. Maybe it's because I'm too careful. But you have to promise me, you must promise me. Once there is unstoppable danger, you must leave. ”

Ding Ziyi said secretly: "Follow you first, it's my business whether to leave or not." ”

Then he simply agreed, "Okay." ”

The two climbed a small hill again and arrived at the old village.

Most of the buildings in the village are made of wood, and there are also a few bluestone foundations, which are covered with mossy shale. The whole village was lifeless and almost lifeless. The front of the stockade was overgrown with weeds, most of them half a person tall.

"Does anyone live?" Ding Ziyi grabbed Wu Ming's hand and asked.

Wu Ming nodded and said, "When I came, I saw the smoke of the cooking, there should be someone living there." ”

"But, like this, I don't want anyone to live here at all." Ding Ziyi wondered.

Wu Ming smiled: "Whether it has anything to do with us or not, our task is to find Dingxi inside according to the map." ”

Wu Ming pulled out the military thorn and cut through the thorns to open a road, with Ding Ziyi following behind.

The road looms beneath your feet, and under the thin layer of dirt is a hard stone.

After walking forward for nearly a hundred meters, the surrounding buildings were barren and covered with cobwebs, and when the sun blew in the wind, they were crumbling and could collapse at any time.

Wu Ming observed the place where the smoke was missing, but found no traces of human life.

One is very tall, estimated to be twenty meters long, made of wood all over, with falling vermilion paint visible on it, and surrounded by four buildings. What caught Wu Ming's attention was that the tallest building did not look like a place to live.

Walking into the highest building, Wu Ming was stunned. The tallest building is not a place where people live, but an ancestral hall. Above the center, there are hundreds of spiritual tablets, large and small, surrounded by hideous statues of gods. The incense burner was covered with dust and no one cleaned it for a long time.

"Let's settle here now." Wu Ming said.

"Huh?" Ding Ziyi looked at the room full of weird and gloomy things in surprise and asked.

Wu Ming put down the package and said with a smile: "Of course, let's rest here for the time being." ”

After saying that, he began to clean the ancestral hall and set up a tent in the corner. This piece of equipment was left over from the last trip to Xizi Lake.

There was a lot of food in the package, all of which had been left over from the past. Wu Ming asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

Ding Ziyi shook his head, looked at the tent curiously, and asked, "Did you often go outside before?" ”

Wu Ming nodded and said, "When I was a child, I often lived in the jungle, and many things were learned at that time. ”

After the tent was set up, the two sat side by side. Wu Ming opened the map and looked at it for a long time, but still didn't find any useful clues. It's not so much a map as a pile of thick and thin lines. There are two large black dots in the middle, thicker than any other line.

Two black dots, one red dot. I don't know what that means.

"Did your mother leave any hints?" Wu Ming asked.

Ding Ziyi shook his head and said, "I know, I've already told you." ”

Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that we seemed to be here to explore treasures, but we didn't have a clue." ”

The plane flew for three hours, and it took an hour to get to Laozhai, and it was almost evening.

Wu Ming was too late to go out now, so he said, "I'll go make a fire and eat some hot food." ”

After saying that, he went outside to collect firewood and lit a fire in the ancestral hall. The firelight illuminated the hideous head of the god, making it even more eerie.
