One of the villagers sitting in front of Zhou Xiaolong was more talkative, and he asked them, "Are you here for a tour?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong said improvisedly: "Yes, take a walk, late autumn, look at the red leaves in the mountains, it is said to be very beautiful." ”

The elder brother of the villager smiled and said: "How can there be any red leaves, the wind in the mountains is strong, the autumn wind is together, the leaves have fallen off, and now in this mountain, it is cold and windy, and it is bare everywhere, I advise you not to go, and you will be disappointed." ”

Zhou Xiaolong's mind turned, and he said: "Actually, it's not exactly tourism, aren't there many mines in the mountains, and Zhou Xiaolong also wants to investigate?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong asked, in fact, he had his own purpose, and he also wanted to inquire about the situation.

Because Uncle Nine only heard the legend and didn't see it with his own eyes.

Legend has it that a youkai suddenly appeared in a cave in the mountains, and eyewitnesses claimed that it was an incomparably huge toad.

The toad ate a lot of miners, and spit out bones everywhere, and I don't know whether they are true or not, but it makes the villagers panic.

Zhou Xiaolong felt that if Zhou Xiaolong mentioned the matter of the mine to the locals, if there were really such rumors, then this villager must know something, and conduct an investigation before solving the case, this is the experience that Long Linna taught Zhou Xiaolong.

Sure enough, as soon as the mine was mentioned, the face of the villager brother changed color, and he said: "You'd better not go, there are monsters in the mine, it's not me who scares you, the mine has been sealed by the mine owner, saying that many miners have died in it, and only bones are left after being eaten by the monsters......"

Zhou Xiaolong was interested, but when Zhou Xiaolong inquired carefully, the villager brother couldn't say why, but just introduced some local situations.

It is said that the geology of the mountain is relatively special, the soil is loose and the underground water veins are very strong, and there are many mineral deposits in the mountain, mainly metal deposits.

In the early years, many speculators mined metal ore here, but then there were several landslides here, and many workers were buried in it, and many black mines were seized.

As he was talking, the normal bus suddenly came to a sudden brake, and there were not many people sitting in the car, but there were a lot of things on the bus, all of which were daily necessities brought into the mountains by passengers from outside.

As a result, many boxes and boxes were overturned, making a mess, and the passengers in the car complained.

Zhou Xiaolong saw the driver suddenly get up from his seat, jumped out of the car very nervously, he turned around in front of the car, and then returned to the car, his expression was extremely confused.

Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Nine were also very curious, and before they could ask out loud, the driver sat in the driver's seat, ready to start the car and continue to move forward, Zhou Xiaolong thought it was just a false alarm.

However, the driver couldn't start the car and continue to move forward, as if the engine of the bus was broken by the sudden braking just now.

It is no accident that such a broken car, such a bumpy road, and the car broke down.

The car wouldn't start, and the driver came over and told all the passengers about it, and someone asked what to do?

The driver said that he would call now and ask the station to send someone to come and fix the car, which would take about an hour.

The passengers were so dissatisfied that some left the bus and went outside to smoke.

Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Jiu: "Why don't we go outside for a walk, I've been sitting for almost an hour, and I'm tired." ”

Uncle Nine ignored Zhou Xiaolong, his eyes were staring at the driver, his eyes were bright.

Zhou Xiaolong asked, "Hey, what's wrong Uncle Nine?!" ”

Uncle Nine asked the driver, "Master driver, did you hit something when you braked sharply just now?!" ”

The driver was a middle-aged fat man, and when he heard it, his face changed, but he immediately denied it and said, "No, I didn't hit anything!! ”

Uncle Nine asked again: "Then why are you braking, and you are still in such a hurry?!" ”

The driver scratched his head and said, "Yes, I saw something that seemed to be white, flashing from the front of the car, but Zhou Xiaolong got out of the car and checked, there was nothing, I don't believe you go and take a look." ”

Uncle Nine seems to be born to look for trouble, if it was Zhou Xiaolong, he would definitely not care about this kind of idle matter.

Zhou Xiaolong saw Uncle Nine get out of the car, Zhou Xiaolong had to follow and get out of the car, Uncle Nine circled around the front of the car, Zhou Xiaolong also turned around, Zhou Xiaolong didn't find anything.

The fat driver poked his head out of the window and said, "Well, nothing, right?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong took out a bottle of mineral water and gave it to Uncle Nine and said, "It's nothing, Uncle Nine, do you want to drink saliva?" ”

Uncle Nine stared at the headlights, then he walked over and touched the white plastic lampshade with his fingers, and then, Zhou Xiaolong saw that Uncle Nine had left some dark green viscous liquid on his fingers.

Zhou Xiaolong asked, "What, it's the juice of weeds, right?" ”

Uncle Nine handed his finger over, and when Zhou Xiaolong smelled it, he regretted it, it was a very fishy smell, it was definitely not a plant liquid, just like the smell of dead fish.

Zhou Xiaolong asked loudly, "What is this?" ”

Uncle Nine said: "It seems that the front of the car did hit something just now......

The driver was surprised, stepped out of the car, and asked, "What did you find?!! ”

Uncle Nine asked, "What did you see before braking?!" ”

The driver said, "I saw something coming up from below and running up the hill, maybe it was some animal, but it didn't kill and ran away." ”

Zhou Xiaolong whispered to Uncle Nine: "Forget it, Uncle Nine, don't always get to the bottom of it." ”

Uncle Nine said into Zhou Xiaolong's ear, in fact, not only the driver saw it, but in fact, Uncle Nine also saw it......

Zhou Xiaolong pulled Uncle Nine away from the driver, and Zhou Xiaolong immediately asked Uncle Nine: "Uncle Nine, what did you see?!! ”

Uncle Nine said: "Zhou Xiaolong seems to have seen a toad, a very big one, jumped in front of the car, and the speed was very fast......

Zhou Xiaolong said in disbelief: "At that time, Zhou Xiaolong was talking to the villagers, and he didn't look at the front of the car, if it was really a toad, could it be the one that Zhou Xiaolong was going to catch, but this is too coincidental, Uncle Jiu, is your subconscious mind doing tricks, you have been thinking about that thing in your head, and you have hallucinations?" Look at what has become that thing?! ”

Uncle Nine shook his head and said, "Didn't the driver also say just now that he saw something white flashing?" Zhou Xiaolong said: Yes, so what?

Uncle Nine said, "What color is the toad's belly?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong said: "Bai ...... White, ah?! ”

Uncle Nine said: "No, Zhou Xiaolong has to go up the mountain to have a look, you can go or not feel free." ”

Walking back to the bus, Uncle Nine took out a shoulder bag from his handbag and carried it on his shoulder.
