Gu Shi'an's disappearance did not leave any clues, as if he had gone out and not returned.

But Chen Xiao knows very well that this is not a trip and a failure to return.

His face was full of anger, and he explained that Assistant Lisun took people to look for him in several directions, and when Qin Tang finished calling, he stepped forward and said, "I'm not familiar with this side, please ask Mr. Qin to call the villa and find a few local villagers who are familiar with this side." Mr. Qin will go down the mountain now and lead people to block all the intersections that can go out of the mountain. ”

He's not messing around yet.

Qin Tang's face was even more unsightly, he didn't say anything, and immediately led people down the mountain.

They all explained in a low voice, and did not release the news that Gu Shi'an was missing. After explaining, seeing Manager Dou standing aside, Chen Xiao said, "You take people down the mountain first." ”

Dou Min's face was not good-looking, she sensed that something was wrong, so she asked, "Will Shi'an be in danger?" ”

Chen Xiao took a hard puff of his cigarette and said, "Maybe." ”

Dou Min's face became solemn, and just as he was about to say something, Chen Xiao said in a low voice, "You go down the mountain first." They should not talk about this for the time being. If something is wrong, please give me a call. ”

He didn't say much after saying this, and just left.

Dou Min hid all the worries on his face, found Xiao Wang and Xiao Xie and instructed them, and then led people down the mountain.

Whether it is Chen Xiao or the people on his side, they are not familiar with this mountain. Qin Tang's movements were very fast, and in less than an hour, he found more than a dozen village names to serve as their guides.

Finding a person in a huge mountain forest is like looking for a needle in a haystack, whether it is a forest or a stone forest, it is very easy to hide a person.

When it rained, the fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker, making the search even more difficult.

Qin Tang's side called when Chen Xiao was still searching with people, and he didn't see anyone coming down the mountain. He even sent people to inquire around, but they didn't see any suspicious people.

But there are a lot of tourists here, and people are prepared to come, so naturally there will be no clues.

As time passed, Chen Xiao's calmness ceased to exist and became irritable.

It was raining, and although everyone was wearing raincoats, the dew in the mountains and forests was heavy, and their bodies were more or less wet.

Although the price given by Qin Tang was high, the weather was cold, and it was unbearable to search for people in the mountains all day. When it was almost dark, the man said to Chen Xiao: "Boss, it is dark this day, and it is even more difficult to see in the mountains at night." Do you think you're going back and coming back tomorrow? ”

Chen Xiao's hair and clothes were soaked, but he didn't look embarrassed. The whole person is even more yin. He swept over the man with compassion and shuddered. Only then did he squint and said, "What's the matter, the money given by the disgusting master is not enough?" ”

He didn't talk much all day, because he wasn't familiar with the road, and almost always did what the guide said. Where did the man think that he would turn his face when he said it, he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "No, no, no, you have given enough." Just ......"

He just hadn't said it yet, Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Just what? ”

His eyes were sharp and cold, and the man didn't dare to say any more, so he closed his mouth.

After looking for a day, everyone was already cold and hungry. Chen Xiao's heart was clear, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "Rest in place for ten minutes." After he finished speaking, he looked at Assistant Sun and asked, "Is there any news from Mr. Qin's side?" ”

Assistant Sun shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

It was getting dark, and Chen Xiao knew that it would be more difficult to find it at night. He was agitated and said, "Call him." ”

There are still no clues, which can only show that they are not looking in the right direction. He knew that the more he should calm down at this time, but he couldn't calm down at all.

Assistant Sun answered yes and dialed the phone, and then gave the phone to Chen Xiao.

Qin Tang immediately picked up the phone and immediately asked, "Is there a clue?" ”

He asked, and it proved that there were no clues from his side.

Chen Xiao's heart sank. Before he spoke, Qin Tang knew that there were no clues on his side either.

There was a bit of tiredness in his voice, and he asked, "Has anyone called?" ”

Chen Xiao didn't answer, and after a while, he asked, "What do you think they want to do?" ”

His mind is in a mess right now, and he can't even calm down. And now, the only person who stands on the same position as him is Qin Tang.

If someone calls, it's fine, but it's just asking for money. And no one called, which proves that the other party does not want the money.

Qin Tang closed his eyes, and years came to his mind. But he quickly suppressed that thought, and did not answer Chen Xiao's words, but said, "Your people have been in the mountains all day, and they have come down with them. I'll come here in the evening. ”

Chen Xiao's people were in the mountains all day, while Qin Tang's side was relatively relaxed.

Chen Xiao naturally knew that it would not work to keep going on, and the physical exertion would not be bearable. He didn't shirk, glanced at the group of people who sat down on the ground behind him, and said yes.

The two had nothing to say, and Chen Xiao didn't say much, and hung up the phone directly.

He stood still for a while, and only after a while did he turn around, glanced at Assistant Sun, and said, "Take a rest and take everyone down the mountain." After a slight pause, he continued: "Inform the others, go down the mountain to rest, and continue tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone didn't know how he changed their attention, and they couldn't help but look up at him.

Although he did not indicate his relationship with Gu Shi'an, Assistant Sun vaguely revealed it. Before Assistant Sun could speak, one of them said, "No need for Mr. Chen, change the tired brother to go down and rest." Let's move on. The longer it drags on......"

His voice was tired and dignified. Although he did not finish speaking, everyone knew what he meant.

The atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden.

Chen Xiao's heart sank greatly, and he said thank you after half a sound.

It's been a whole day, and it's going to have to be fixed anyway. Chen Xiao asked people to make a fire on the spot, and took out the dry food that Qin Tang had sent over.

He was not empty, so he called the guide and asked Assistant Sun to take out a pen and paper to let him draw a topographical map of the mountain. And explain which places are often visited and which are not.

Descend from here. Without a cable car, it would have been two hours. If that person was with Gu Shi'an, even if it was a shortcut, it would definitely take so long. Coupled with the slippery road down the mountain in the rain, it must have taken more than two hours.

And from discovering that Gu Shi'an was missing, to Qin Tang's people to block various intersections. It was probably more than two hours, and if he guessed correctly, she must have been in the mountains and was not taken out.

This is a tourist area, and there are a lot of people, so it is conspicuous to go out with a big living person. Therefore, the person who took Gu Shi'an should not go down the mountain. It's hidden somewhere in the mountains.

It is difficult to find people on this mountain, and for those who are familiar with this mountain, it is easy to hide someone.

They didn't have any clues all day, and they didn't even see any traces, which only means that they have found the wrong place.

Chen Xiao gradually calmed down, and waited for the person to finish the rough drawing, and he used his pen to mark the general location little by little.

Assistant Sun's several people worked together to light the fire, and then took out the food and distributed it to everyone.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was still studying the 'map', he handed over a box of compressed biscuits and said, "Mr. Chen, you can also eat something and take a rest." ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak, and took the compressed biscuit. It was wet and cold, and he took the 'map' and sat down on the edge of the fire.

When it rained, the matches were wet, and the fire burned very slowly. The faint light of the fire dispelled the cold and exhaustion slightly.

Chen Xiao finished eating a box of compressed biscuits without saying a word, and drank half a bottle of water. Only then did he say to Assistant Sun: "After eating, you will take everyone down the mountain." After a slight pause, he continued: "Thank you all today, I know everyone's intentions, but everyone needs to replenish their strength. ”

He was about to say something, but not a word came out of his throat. Someone was about to say something immediately, but he stretched out his hand to stop it, and after a little slowdown, he said, "Mr. Qin's people will come up." ”

Now there was no one to speak.

Chen Xiao didn't sit by the fire, but stood up and walked to a slightly higher place to smoke. It was pitch black all around, and there wasn't even a glimmer of light.

His heart was so heavy that he didn't even dare to imagine it. In such weather, where will Gu Shi'an spend the night in this mountain.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Chen Xiao took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, as if he knew who it was, and said without looking back: "Call Xiao Si." ”

There was no expression on his face.

Assistant Sun's face changed. He whispered, "You've got to think about it." ”

Chen Xiao didn't hesitate, hummed lightly, and then said, "Let him check if there is any news on the road." ”

It was as if the person had disappeared for no apparent reason, and there was not even the slightest clue left. This can show that the person who took her was not a new hand, but a familiar criminal.

This shows that eighty percent of people are employed. As long as there is a little rumor, Xiao Si will definitely find it. It's just that...... It's hard to ask for it.,If you invite him this time.,It's hard to ask for it in the future.。

Xiao Si's appetite has always been big, and Assistant Sun didn't even dare to imagine what he would ask for in the future.

He had been following Chen Xiao for many years, and he would not disobey Chen Xiao's order, so he immediately contacted someone.

They don't have any manpower here, waiting for him to finish calling. Chen Xiao said again: "Send people over, and you have to find people for me when you go all over this mountain." ”

There was a cold tone in his tone.

Assistant Sun replied in a low voice. After a slight pause, he said, "I'm afraid the old lady will know." ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak at this time.

Assistant Sun soon called. Waiting to call back, Chen Xiao asked him to take everyone down the mountain.

He himself had no intention of going down the mountain. He was haggard and tired, Assistant Sun was silent for a while, and said, "You also have to rest, if you fall down......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiao stopped him and said, "I have measure. ”

Assistant Sun didn't speak again, and Chen Xiao was not at ease if he stayed here alone. He told the guide to take the people down the mountain, but he stayed.

Chen Xiao also let him go, and continued to look for someone with a flashlight.

The mountain here is wide, and I searched for it all day, but I only found part of it. Qin Tang's people didn't take long to come over and let Chen Xiao go back to rest, but he refused, took out the map drawn by the guide, pointed out a few places where people were most likely to be hidden, and asked Qin Tang to let people go to find them separately.

Qin Tang immediately ordered to go down the mountain.

Time passed long and tormenting, and in the waiting, the sky finally brightened. The search was more difficult at night, and the whole night passed without any progress. There are also many fewer places to search than during the day.

There was no news from Xiao Si's side, and Chen Xiao comforted himself that no news was the best news.

He didn't rest for a day and a night, and his eyes were already bloodshot. When it was almost dawn, under the persuasion of Assistant Sun, he sat down in the cave where the fire was lit, leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a nightmare.

He dreamed that Gu Shi'an was looking at her in the dark with a white face. There was such despair on his face. Blood came from somewhere, and soon it was all over the ground.

He watched from afar, trying to pounce, but his body seemed to be restrained, and he couldn't move.

When Chen Xiao woke up from the dream, there was already a cold sweat on his forehead, and the cave was quiet, only the crisp sound of sparks exploding, where was anyone.

His body was a little weak, and he raised his wrist to look at the time. It was found that he had only slept for about ten minutes.

He had this dream and could not sleep again. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it and smoked. Somehow, Gu Shi'an's blood-covered and desperate appearance appeared in front of his eyes again.

Chen Xiao closed his eyes tightly. He smoked a cigarette vigorously and stood up.

No one was found for a day and a night, and the search team was even larger the next day. The more there were no clues, the more silent Chen Xiao and Qin Tang became, and there was not even a voice in the team to speak.

Almost all the places around have been searched, and the only place that has not been searched is a primeval forest over there.

The forest was dense and dim even during the day.

It is said that in recent years, the cries of wild beasts have been heard, and the local villagers who have called them do not dare to enter. Even if you pay more money, you won't want to.

Chen Xiao spent a lot of money and finally found a middle-aged man. The family is relatively poor, and the sons and daughters are all in college, and the premise of going in is to give the money first, and ask for cash.

Chen Xiao immediately asked people to take the money.

He took the backpack on Assistant Sun's body and brought a sharp Swiss Army knife that he didn't usually use. He didn't let anyone go in with him, but took the guide with him.

After such a fuss, Qin Tang's side rushed over almost immediately. Since it was dangerous inside, where could he let Chen Xiao go in alone, he had to take someone in with him.

Chen Xiao stopped, waved away the people around him, and said, "I have received Mr. Qin's intentions." It's dangerous inside, and you don't need so many people. ”

After a slight pause, he smiled faintly, and then said: "If I can't come back, I have to ask Mr. Qin for everything." ”

He closed his eyes as he spoke, and continued, "No matter what, we have to find her." ”

As if he knew that Qin Tang would definitely agree, he turned around and walked towards the dense woods without waiting for him to answer after saying this.

His back was resolute, and Qin Tang's figure stood still for a long time. It wasn't until the people around him called him that he came back to his senses. In a hoarse voice, he commanded people to keep an eye on the forest.

After he finished speaking, he asked Chen Xiao how much food he brought, and the people around him replied, he didn't speak again, and instructed Assistant Sun to report any news from now on to his side.

Chen Xiao is gone, and he is the only person in charge here. Assistant Sun was instructed by Chen Xiao, answered the word, and went down to continue looking.

Qin Tang stood at the edge of the forest, and only after half a sound did he order someone to raise a fire here. And let the villa call the doctor to come and wait at any time. And have food ready at all times.

There's something going on here, and the villa has long been closed. No reservations will be accepted and guests who have already arrived have been evacuated to a nearby hotel with compensation. The whole villa was silent.

The forest was full of trees, and no one had visited for a long time, and the weeds and thorns had blocked the original path, and it was extremely difficult to walk.

Fortunately, the guide was reliable, and he brought a hook knife and cut a path through the forest.

It's eerie in the forest. It's like a monster with a bloody mouth wide open, ready to swallow the person who enters it at any time.

The guide originally wanted to say something to ease the gloomy atmosphere, but seeing that Chen Xiao was silent, he didn't dare to speak in the end.

The two walked all the way, and the thorns scratched blood marks on Chen Xiao's hands, and he didn't seem to notice it.

I thought that the more I went, the more thorns there were. Who knows no, after walking for about thirty minutes, when I reached the densest part of the forest, there were fewer thorns in it. It's just that the light has been tightly blocked by the trees, and it is even more gloomy and dim.

The two of them had consumed a lot of physical strength all the way through this, and when they got here, the guide asked to rest for a while.

Chen Xiao didn't say a word, and handed him a bottle of water. He sat down against a tree.

It was said that there were beasts here, but it was quiet after walking so far, and there was no sound.

The guide's heart was probably frightened, and he muttered all the way to worship the great gods of all sides. Chen Xiao didn't interrupt him.

He didn't want to go inside, looked around, and said, "Boss, look at this here, no one should come in." We walked so far and found no sign of anyone entering. ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak, and after a while, he said in a dumb voice: "Do you think a person can survive a few days of hunger." ”

He said it with a lot of effort, as if it was choking in his throat. Every time I spit out a word, it's so laborious.

Doesn't it mean that the body has limits? There is always danger in the mountains. For every extra minute you stay, the danger increases. He didn't even dare to imagine what Gu Shi'an was like now.

The guide was stunned for a moment, and did not speak again.

People who are not close relatives will never be able to experience the pain of imminent loss.

He didn't know what had come to mind. There was silence. After a while, he said, "You gave me money, and my life is yours." Without you, my son and daughter would not have been able to finish school, let alone get ahead. You have the final say, as long as you want to go inside, I will show you wherever you go. ”

His tone was sincere. Chen Xiao said thank you in a low voice.

After waiting for something to eat, the two stood up and continued inside.

There's something strange about the forest here, and when you get inside, there's no birdsong. It's so eerie and terrifying that it seems that an unknown beast will come out at any moment.

After drinking half a bottle of water during the break, the guide said, "Wait for me, I'll go over there for convenience." ”

Chen Xiao nodded, he wanted to light a cigarette and smoke. But this forest is dense, and for fear of causing a fire, he touches the cigarette case with his hand and takes it back.

After standing there for two minutes, I suddenly heard the guide shout, "Boss, come here." ”

Chen Xiao turned around and jumped over almost immediately.

The guide crouched beside an unknown clump of plants, looking at something.

Chen Xiao passed, and he said, "Look, there should be a footprint here. ”

No, although it is shallow, you can also see that the leaves have been stepped on.

Chen Xiao immediately squatted down and slowly looked around.

The leaves of this forest are so dense that the footprints are so shallow that they are barely visible. It wasn't until I saw a weed trampled on the ground that I was sure that someone was coming this way.

The weeds were still fresh, which meant that it wasn't long ago that someone had passed by.

Chen Xiao immediately took out his mobile phone to call Assistant Sun, but it was dense in the woods, and there was no signal at all. He didn't care so much, and walked along the footsteps with the guide.

The footprints came and went, and it was extremely laborious to follow.

Since there are people here, you have to be more careful. The guide was nervous, and he had to look around when he took a step.

There are no legendary beasts in this forest. But there are a lot of snakes and insects. In a short distance, I encountered several snakes. It's all highly poisonous. Sweat broke out on the guide's forehead.

He said that this life was Chen's effect, and he really didn't call for going back, and followed the footprints seriously.

After walking so far, Chen Xiao suddenly stopped.

The guide looked at him with a panicked expression.

Chen Xiao motioned for him not to make any noise, and the two quietly retreated behind a large tree.

There was no sound in front of him, and Chen Xiao listened intently for a while, only to hear a slight squeaking sound of stepping on the leaves coming this way.

There was no expression on his face, and the saber was pulled out of the military boots on his feet.
