As long as someone goes, she can feel at ease that she can boldly find someone, and she doesn't have to worry about the sudden emergence of a carnivorous beast that she can't compete with in the process of searching for someone.

"Village chief, my son is gone, and I am happy to enter the mountain at this time."

"Village chief, I am also happy, I want to get my man back, my child can't be without a father."

"Village chief, let me go, whether I can find it or not, I have to look for it, that's my only son!"

“……”

Guo Mianmian's words reached the ears of others word for word, and the sixteen villagers who had lost their relatives all looked at Village Chief Li and responded generously with affection. They are not afraid of danger, but they are afraid that they will never see their son (husband) again.

Looking at the faces of Kong Yin in front of him, Village Chief Li knew that he had stopped people, and when they walked out of this house in a while, they would still sneak into the mountain together.

Sighing tiredly, Village Chief Li nodded at the end: "Volunteer, joy will go into the mountains to find people at this time, go home and plan to go, and come here after dawn if you are unwilling, and negotiate a charter." ”

When these words were spoken, the people in the house did not have any objections.

Those who did not intervene in the hunt, although they were unwilling to risk going into the mountains in the middle of the night, and went into the mountains together during the day to find people, they did not suggest. The truth is a matter of life, and no one dares to guarantee that one day there will be no accident that falls on them and they need help from others.

"Thank you, village chief!"

Guo Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking the village chief, he hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and went out to go home, planning to go into the mountains, and even forgot about Guo Laoshi and Guo Yu's father and son who were still present.

The other people who volunteered to enter the mountain did not stay long, and after Kong Yin thanked the village chief, he generally hurried out of the village chief's house, and after agreeing to wait under the big tree at the head of the village, they all returned to their own house to plan things.

The things to plan for are nothing more than ropes, canes, machetes, and oil lamps for lighting. Every family had these things, and those who volunteered to go to the mountains to look for people soon had all their plans in place, and drove in the same direction, almost two people from each house.

It's just that at this stall, the Guo family debated, Guo Laoshi didn't want his daughter to go into the mountains to take risks, he didn't let his daughter go, and he didn't let his youngest son go, he wanted to go into the mountains alone.

"It's impossible, Dad, my mother has fallen, and the family needs you to support it at this time!" Guo Mianmian didn't want to snatch the machete and other things in his father's hand, so he asked the younger brother to stop his father: "Dad, you can rest assured, I am still young and straightforward, and I am with a large group of people entering the mountain, be careful, it will be fine, even if there is really danger, I will be the first to escape." ”

After Li Li knocked on the door of the Guo family and informed Guo Shu that the Guo Lin brothers were lost in the deep mountains, the Mu family, which had always been strong, failed to withstand this attack and fell in a hurry.

People are not in serious trouble, but they are tired, dizzy, and need to rest in bed. Otherwise, this time when he went into the mountains to find someone, the Mu family would definitely go by himself.

Guo Yu stopped his father, but he didn't want the eldest sister to go, looking at the eldest sister who was about to go out, she hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, I'm a man, let me go, if you leave, I can't coax Kunkun to make trouble." ”

Kunkun has always been obedient, even if he feels uncomfortable in his heart, he will not cry. Guo Mianmian knew that this was the little brother's persuasion, in this case, she would not let the little brother take the risk at all: "At this time, you are the only man left in the family, if you don't see your mother again, you will wake up and die, so you will stay at home and watch a few Kunkun, waiting for me to find all the eldest and second brothers." ”

After that, Guo Mianmian no longer looked at the expressions of his younger brother and father, and directly strode out of the hall with the machete and rope on his back.

"Ye'er, wait for us, we'll go with you." Yu and Liu, who were taking care of their mother-in-law in the room, suddenly rushed out, their expressions anxious and determined.

The husband is gone, and they don't know if they are alive or dead, and Yu and Liu have no way to convince themselves to stay at home and wait for information. At this moment, their hearts are all husbands who have no traces, whether it is their parents-in-law or their children, they are no longer in their hearts.

Guo Mianmian understood the psychology of the two sisters-in-law, and knew that it was useless for her to stop her, so she nodded and pointed to the utility room and said, "You go and get a scythe in your hand or come forward, we have to leave quickly." ”

Yu and Liu did not hesitate to get into the utility room, and when they came out the next moment, each of them had an extra hoe in their hands that could prevent slipping and could be regarded as a weapon.

In the sorrow of Guo Laoshi and Guo Yu's father and son, as well as the cries of the children, the three aunts and sisters-in-law left the house ruthlessly and went straight to the village under the big tree to meet the others.

Among the group of people who arrived first, there were old people who were over half a hundred years old, children who were eleven or twelve and a half years old, and women like Guo Mianmian, and almost all the families who had lost their relatives, and at least two people or more came from each family.

What is rare is that the harrier mother who is crying at the village chief's house does not notice it. When someone asked, I don't know who burst out with a sneering laugh, clearly thinking that the harrier mother would not come.

If there is one less person, others don't care, if the sick and crooked harrier girl really comes, it will be a headache, the truth is that in such a situation, no one wants anyone to drag back.

When everyone arrived, Guo Mianmian deliberately counted the number of people. Including herself and her two sisters-in-law, there were thirty-eight people, twenty men, ten women, and eight and a half children.

And while thirty-eight men were planning to march into the mountains, seven more men entered. These seven men were none other than Li Li and others who came back to report the news before.

Li Li and the others entered with shame, and the twenty-five people who entered the mountain together, only seven of them came back, no matter what, they couldn't suppress themselves with a clear conscience and nested at home, watching their relatives sad and anxious, so they came!

In fact, Guo Mianmian and others, who missed the footprints of their relatives, did not blame these seven people at all for not going and why they did not stop their relatives. At this time, seven people entered with deep shame, and Guo Mianmian and the others were moved in addition to gratitude.

On the way to the mountains, Guo Mianmian asked Li Li a lot of questions, and he had a clearer understanding of the general location of his brothers' losses in his mind, and he also understood more clearly how dangerous the snow-covered mountains were.

For thousands of years, people only knew that a few of the mountains they frequented had names and surnames, and the surnames were taken by the villages close to these mountains, and they were called after a long time.

No one who lives at the foot of the mountain knows where the mountain range begins, where it ends, but only knows that it is the most dangerous, with countless deep mountains and valleys, and countless birds and animals.

The mountain is mysterious and dangerous, but it also continues to give rich gifts to the people next to it. Every year in late spring and early summer, after the rains, the people of the village would go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, wild fruits and herbs to exchange for silver.

Just like the Guo family a few years ago, if there was no such mountain, even if Xiao Guo Mianmian sold himself, his family could only keep warm, and he would never have the money to buy a house later.

This time, no one knows whether this mountain, which has nurtured countless generations, will bring disaster or a joke!

The people of Lijia Village are familiar with the mountains when they go into the mountains to hunt or pick wild fruits, mushrooms, herbs, etc. Most of these hills are located in the nearby villages, and they are spared from conflict with the people of these villages.

In this way, there are both good places and bad places, once the people who enter the mountain have a body, it is impossible for the people of Lijia Village to know in time. Therefore, often people in the village go into the mountains in groups, so that they can take care of each other.

This time, the place where Li Li and others hunted was a mountain called Niujiao Mountain, which was named after the flat middle of this mountain peak and the two pointed ends shaped like horns.

Niujiao Mountain is 20 miles away from Lijia Village, and it is usually almost possible to reach it after walking continuously for a while. At this time, the heavy snow continued to fall, and the snow on the ground became deeper and deeper, and the group pulled their legs out of the knee-high deep snow one by one, which was the most laborious thing, and this familiar road seemed to be unable to reach the end no matter how they walked.

If it weren't for the desperate desire to find their loved ones, the frail woman and the half-grown child would have been unable to support them. In this way, the group also stopped three times on the road, and it took nearly two hours to reach the foot of Niujiao Mountain.

The dark night was set off by the snow all over the ground, and Guo Mianmian raised his head slightly and clearly saw the Niujiao Mountain standing in front of him.

When it comes to Niujiao Mountain, it does not stand, and it is redundant to be full. At this time, the whole mountain was covered with deep snow, and it was impossible to see the path on the ground that had been trampled by the people entering the mountain, and it was impossible to know if the next foot fell into a deep pit covered with snow.

"Sister Ye, Brother Da Shu, Lin Zi and the other three people are chasing the harrier from here, we are going to find them from here at this time?" Li Li picked up a windproof lamp and pointed to a snow-covered place in the distance where he couldn't see the road.

When others heard Li Li ask, they also set their eyes on Guo Mianmian.

Along the way, Guo Mianmian asked Li Li about the situation and did some analysis, friends felt that her analysis was very reasonable, and they all felt that as she said, the lost eighteen people did not come back, not necessarily in distress in the mountains, but also probably lost in the heavy snow.

In addition, when he was at the village chief's house, Guo Mianmian took the initiative to stand up and subdue the village chief, and these villagers, who were at a loss and didn't know where to look, put the hope of finding people on Guo Mianmian's body, and hoped that she could take a proposition at this time.

"Well, let's go over and have a look." Guo Mianmian nodded, and stuck his cane in the snow to be careful to explore the way, in case he fell into the snow pit or hit the slope.

The others followed Guo Mianmian's back one by one, not daring to be careless. Walking slowly in this way is slow, at least it is very safe, and you don't have to worry about making a mistake and falling into a dangerous place.

It wasn't until they walked to the place that Li Li pointed out that everyone noticed two curves and forks in front of them, and they turned their eyes on Guo Mianmian's body again, otherwise they didn't know which direction to look for.

"Ye'er, which way do you think you should go? Why don't we go in two directions? Liu was worried about her husband's safety, and she couldn't wait for a moment, so she proposed to go separately.

"Wait, let me think about it." Guo Mianmian, whose eyes had adapted to the darkness, divided and examined the two forks, and gradually calmed down and began to sense the plants around him that were still conscious.

Like many animals that need to hibernate, there are many plants that will hide in the winter to survive the sad winter, especially the weeds that turn yellow in autumn, and the big trees that will fall into a deep sleep no matter how Guo Mianmian senses them, they will not respond to her.

The only ones who can respond are a small number of trees that can still remain green in winter, such as pine trees and cypresses. In the cold winter, these trees are far less active than in the spring and summer periods, and do not "stay awake" every day, most of the time they are also asleep, only affected by the weather and the situation, and wake up from time to time.

Guo Mianmian kept determining whether the lost eighteen people had touched the trees that had awakened their consciousness, and if there were, she would have the mastery to follow the search until the people were found, and if they didn't only encounter a small batch, it would take a lot of work.

"Huh?" Guo Mianmian suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the snow-covered ground more than ten zhang in front of the fork on the left, and hurriedly ran over to scrape the snow on his head with both hands.

"Ye'er, what's wrong with you?" Guo Mianmian's unique behavior startled everyone, Yu and Liu were a little afraid in their hearts, and hurriedly ran over to pull her.

"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, you can help quickly, there is something down here, maybe I can report where our eldest and second brother went." Guo Mianmian said without looking back, and the action of shaving snow in his hands accelerated a few points.

This sentence is tantamount to lighting a bright light for the people in the darkness and dazedness, everyone can't think about why the woman who ploughs the snow knows that there is something under the snow, and they all rush to the Bo Zhong to help plow the snow together: "Quick, quick, friends, hurry up, quickly plane the things on the ground." ”

With the help of so many people, knee-deep snow was soon dug into a large hole, and by the light of the windproof lamp, everyone could clearly see what was buried in the snow, which was a large rock that could be found everywhere in the mountains.

"What's a rock?" An old man who had lost his son sat on the snow in disappointment, looking at the big rocks in the snow pit and muttering to himself, and the faces of the other people involved in the snow plow were also blank.

Before shaving the snow, they thought that what was buried underneath was the belongings of the lost eighteen people, but it turned out to be an ordinary stone. The mountain noticed that the stone was actually calm, and it was impossible to expect it to report whether their lost people had gone to the left fork in the road.

Guo Mianmian didn't give up, she struggled to move the big stone away, and saw that there was a loud grass under the big stone.

No, it's not grass, it's a shepherd's cabbage that has just grown five patches. Who would have thought that in this cold day, there would indeed be shepherd's cabbage growing, which made Guo Mianmian the most happy, and hurriedly communicated with the little shepherd's cabbage who walked away from the predicament.

"Whew, crushed to death, almost crushed to death!" The immortal little shepherd's cabbage was busy stretching her branches and leaves, and her sigh also sounded in Guo Mianmian's mind for the first time. It is distinct that it does not develop under a large stone, but is crushed by a large stone after it grows.

Just now he heard the weak cry for help of the little shepherd's cabbage, Guo Mianmian noticed the stone buried under the snow, and then rescued the little shepherd's cabbage.

"Little shepherd's sake, for the sake of me helping you, can you report that I didn't walk through here yesterday?" Guo Mianmian squatted down and looked at Xiao Sheen, and tried his best to manipulate his consciousness to communicate with Xiao Sheen.

Plants have easy ideas, others have helped them well, and in their eyes they are their own people.

As soon as she heard the question of the life-saving benefactor, Xiao Shepherd hurriedly said: "Yes, there is a two-legged beast that stepped on me yesterday, and accidentally hit the big stone, and the big stone rolled down and crushed me. ”

"Really? Thank you, thank you. Guo Mianmian was very happy to get the quasi-letter of the small camellia. In return, she re-covered the little shepherd's body with the soft snow, saving it from freezing to death.

"Wow, it's so warm and comfortable, thank you for the great benefactor." The sound of the small shepherd's cabbage urn came out from under the snow, and he happily thanked Guo Mianmian.

Guo Mianmian smiled, stood up and said to Li Li and the others with a strange face: "Take this road, my boss walked from here yesterday." ”

Li Li looked for the direction Guo Mianmian was pointing to, and asked in disbelief: "Sister Ye, how do you know that this is the road?" Just with that big rock? ”

This is a very common question, and another person would ask it. What's more, even if no one asks, Guo Mianmian will answer to save people from seeing that she is different from mortals.

So Guo Mianmian didn't take Li Li's doubts to heart, but nodded along with his words, pointed to the shepherd's cabbage that had just been buried, and said: "There is a shepherd's cabbage under the Shicai stone, and a few pieces of the shepherd's cabbage were smashed by the stone, and the damaged place looks very new. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Mianmian's eyes swept over Li Li's face, and seeing that his face showed a sudden open-minded look, he knew that he was trusting and continued: "It just so happened that you were the only ones on this mountain yesterday, if it weren't for my boss, who would pass through here?" Looking at the depth of the snow, you can also know that it was not caused by animals after you returned to the village. ”

Not to mention that where people are there, the vast majority of animals will flee. Niujiao Mountain is on the outskirts of the mountain, and I think that the wild deer that I noticed yesterday was lost and strayed in, otherwise the larger animals would not have been noticed here.

Guo Mianmian's analysis was very convincing, that is, the eleven or twelve-year-old half-grown children heard it clearly, and looked at her with reverence one by one.

Li Li and the others also believed it, and instantly cheered up: "The directions are confirmed, then let's hurry up and find someone, maybe we can find them before dawn." ”

Guo Mianmian had no objection, and continued to explore the path in front of him with his cane, while communicating with the surrounding plants, and his heart was not satisfied with the statement that he had found someone before dawn.

"Sister Ye, then how did you know that there was a big stone under the snow, and there was a camellia under the big stone?" After walking for a short time, Li Li, who was silently figuring out the big stone and the small shepherd's cabbage, couldn't hold back, and arrived at Guo Mianmian's side and asked her.

The others also pricked up their ears, wanting to know how Guo Mianmian knew. Even if they noticed the big stone, they would not have thought that there would be so many twists and turns under the stone, and they would show them a clear direction.

Guo Mianmian naturally couldn't tell the truth, and asked Li Li with a look of surprise on his face: "Didn't Boss Li see that the snow over there was raised higher than elsewhere?" ”

"Huh? So, I didn't look through it and didn't see the difference. Li Li patted his head in annoyance, and secretly warned himself to be more careful, but he didn't know that the universe was as white as snow, and standing so far away and it was a big night, he wouldn't see it that far away, how could he know the thickness of the snow bulge?

Seeing that Li Li didn't notice this, Guo Mianmian naturally didn't bother to answer, but simply said all the words he had thought of before, blocking the possible problems in everyone's hearts:

"At first, I thought it was the boss, they were somebody, and they didn't carelessly leave something behind, so they ran over to plow the snow, but I didn't expect it to be a big rock. Later, I noticed that the snow covering the big stone was relatively thin, and I had doubts in my heart, and when I moved the stone away and saw the snow under the stone, I noticed the shepherd's cabbage, which proved my inner guess. ”

"That's ......" everyone's faces once again showed a sudden open-minded look, and their eyes became more and more admirable when they looked at Guo Mianmian, and they also had a little more confidence in finding their lost relatives.

In order to retain physical strength, the next group just silently tested the road and moved forward carefully, and rarely spoke again. It's just that the mountain road has eighteen bends, and it didn't take long for everyone to have two forks on the left and one on the right, and at this time, everyone was in front of them.

"Ye'er, which way to go this time?" Without waiting for others to ask, Yu's family, who was happy and sincere in his sister-in-law's admiration, was the first to ask anxiously.

Her husband was also gone, and like a few women who had come out to look for her husband, she risked her way into the mountains to find him, just to find the man as soon as possible.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't notice the marks left by the boss here, I will check these two forks in the road first to see if I can find some clues." Guo Mianmian had just experienced a cypress ditch, and she had already confirmed which direction the boss was going, but she couldn't say it in words.

"Okay, you go to look for you, and we'll look around to see if they have tied a strip of cloth on the tree and carved something to mark their bodies." Yu was afraid that he would delay his sister-in-law, so he immediately looked around after saying it.

Others also carried windproof lamps to check around, especially the trunks on both sides of the tree were particularly carefully checked, for fear of missing the lost relatives and leaving a hint.

Guo Mianmian also steadied everything in the four directions, wanting to see if he could perceive his body like Shicai, but he only noticed a cypress tree with consciousness.

Only yesterday the cypress tree fell asleep, and I don't know how anyone passed by it. After Guo Mianmian asked, the cypress tree reported that she had no marks on her body here, but if she was careful to turn over the snow under it, she could find a few remaining footprints.

The footprints left yesterday have already been covered with snow, and the sky is too cold, and the snow in front of them has almost condensed and hardened, and the footprints left behind will also condense. Later, the snow cover will be looser, and it will not be possible to completely erase the footprints.

Guo Mianmian thought this was a good idea, so he dug up a few places pointed out by the cypress tree, and sure enough, he noticed a remnant of footprints under the snow.

The reason why the footprints can be left is understood by people everywhere. This time, there was no need for Guo Mianmian to answer, everyone knew that it was right to explore the fork on the right, and let them know a way to track it.

When they encountered the fork in the road again, they didn't have to tell everyone to spontaneously shave the snow to explore the footprints, so that the speed of exploration would be much faster and save a lot of time.

The snow is still falling, and the snow on the mountains is getting deeper and deeper, and everyone is exploring very hard along the way.

The only glorious thing is that there were no beasts of prey on this journey, perhaps because the snow was too heavy and the snow was too deep, and the beasts did not want to come out to forage for food and hid. For Guo Mianmian and others, this is a merit, and for the lost, it is also a merit.

Along the way, Guo Mianmian and others did not forget to leave marks, so as not to get lost and unable to get out, and also to point out the direction to the villagers who may enter the mountain to assist in finding people during the day.

No one knows how much time has passed, no one knows how far they have come, and they don't know where they are at this time. It's just that I looked at the mountains that were standing more and more, and the mountain roads that were getting more and more difficult to walk, and I still didn't find any marks other than footprints.

And these footprints became more and more chaotic, several times everyone found the wrong direction and had to return to the cage, and many times they did not find a single person, and some people inevitably became impetuous.

Guo Mianmian estimated that she had been looking for at least three times, looking at the tired and panting uncle and the children who were almost unable to walk, she couldn't bear it, so she pointed to the depression of a valley not far away that was not affected by wind and snow and said: "I've been looking for a long time, let's go there first to rest and use some dry food, and then we will have the strength to continue looking." ”

"It's impossible, Ye'er, the person hasn't been found yet, we have to continue to look for it." Liu, who was getting more and more anxious, refused to stop and rest, and insisted on continuing to look for it: "If it is inconvenient for them to stay here to rest if they can't walk, and continue to look for those who can walk?" ”

On the side, Yu Shi felt that he had another strength, and he could continue to find it, and was about to agree with Liu's words, Guo Mianmian said conclusively: "Rest, rest for a while and eat something before looking for it, otherwise if you encounter something bad later, you won't even have the strength to escape." ”

Li Li and the others, who usually didn't want to rest, were silent when they heard this.

So the group arrived at the shelter pointed out by Guo Mianmian, sat on a stone without snow, took out the dry food that was hastily planned last night and began to eat it in a big gulp, feeling thirsty and grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into his mouth.

Eating silently, no one had the mental ability to pull home, but a few half-old children couldn't sit still, and just had a little strength to wander around.

At this moment, a child occasionally threw a snowball, and the snowball fell on the snow-covered rock, and the snow fell down continuously, and suddenly a black hole was revealed, and the child pointed to the hole and shouted: "Look, there is a cave here!" ”

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads, and seriously saw a half-person tall and two-person wide hole in front of them at this time.

Without waiting for the adults to persuade them, several half-year-old children rushed in with a happy face, and the next moment, they ran out crying and panicking, shouting in horror: "Dead man, dead man, there are many dead people in it......"

Do you think Mianmian has the potential to be a scout? In order not to let others question that she is special, every analysis makes so much sense!

The screaming words of the children made everyone's expressions change, and the next moment they all gathered on the edge of the cramped cave entrance, and looked into the cave in amazement.

There was not a single light coming out of the cave, and the light at the entrance of the cave could not shine inside, and no one knew how deep it was.

Everyone knows that the children will not shout, there must be people in the cave, and there must be more than one! The biggest possibility is that the eighteen people who were lost the day before yesterday are still a few of them.

If it were as the children said, the people inside were already ...... Even if it is not a relative, it is an unbearable thing for someone in the place.

"You guys are in the outer armor, I'll go in with the big cow and have a look." Li Li took the lead bravely, said to the people who were hesitant and did not dare to come forward, and the next moment he stood up and got up and got into the hole.

The man known as Da Niu was a man in his twenties, who stood out from the crowd without saying a word, and followed Li Li into the cave.

Everyone waited inside, fearing that the people in the cave were relatives, and worried that they were acquaintances in the village, neither of which was what they wanted to see.

Guo Mianmian's eyes stared at the entrance of the cave, his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists, and he didn't even notice that his nails were not too sharp and long into the flesh, and his back was excreted with fine night sweats.

"Ye'er, what should I do?" Liu subconsciously clenched his sister-in-law's hand, leaned on his sister-in-law's body as if he had no support, and his slightly trembling voice was already crying.

This weak woman, after hearing that her husband was missing, most of her whole heart collapsed. Entering the mountain with the greatest hope, hoping that her husband would be safe and sound, she was waiting for her to find it back, but she didn't expect that the worst possibility would be so abrupt at this time, so that she almost couldn't stand.

"No, don't worry, it won't be the second brother, the second sister-in-law, don't be whimsical." Guo Mianmian tried her best to stay calm, and did not forget to comfort her second sister-in-law, but her nonsense words leaked her feelings.

This persuasion was too tired, but Liu seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, occasionally grabbed his sister-in-law's hand, and muttered: "Yes, it won't be your second brother, it won't be him, it won't be ......."

Yu, who has always been hardened and ferocious, cried, she stood beside Liu, her shoulders couldn't stop shaking and she was already in tears: "No, it must not be, he brought food and clothes, it won't be him, it won't be him." ”

"Woo, no, the kid's father, it must not be...... No......" Yu's forbearance cry seemed to burn a certain fuse, making other people with a sense of honor also cry, and the mouth of the cave resounded one after another sobbing.

At this moment, the invisible darkness shrouded everyone's heart, except for crying, they didn't know what else they could do, and at this time, it accumulated in their hearts layer by layer over time, making them almost gasp for breath.

At this moment, Li Li and Da Niu, who had gone in, came out, but what they carried out was a body with stiff limbs!

"Ahh In the crowd, a terrible scream suddenly erupted, and a woman staggered out and rushed towards the stiff body carried by Li Li: "Child, father, get up, get up, get up!" ”

Li Li and Da Niu, whose eyes were red, couldn't help but cry at the moment when the woman cried: "Sister-in-law, mourn!" ”

After getting used to the darkness of the cave, the two recognized the person carrying it at a glance. That's going down to the river with them to fish, going up the mountain to catch birds together, and growing up together!

Before the separation, it was still alive and small, and at this time, an extremely cold body was lying in front of him, and no one could bear the fact that no one could bear it.

"No, it's not, it's not my man, it's you who are mistaken, it's not my man, it's not-"

The woman lying on her husband's body broke up and shouted at Li Li and Da Niu, as if she had the only ability to prove that this was not her husband, and that her husband was still waiting to find him.

"Mother, don't be like this, my father has already gone, and my son can't think of a mother anymore!" The woman's son fell to his knees and held his mother firmly.

This half-grown child, with his mother followed the crowd to find his father all night, without complaining or shouting tired, but at this time he could only kneel on the ground, endure his father's sorrow, and hold the only relative present and cry sadly.

"Woo-woo-woo-"

Witnessing this scene, everyone cried. The person who wanted to enter to assist the person stopped at the entrance of the cave again, hesitating and not daring to step forward. They are afraid, afraid that the next moment their loved ones will be carried out by their own hands.

Li Li and Da Niu endured their grief, gently put the person they were carrying on the snow, turned their heads and drilled into the hole again. This time, the backs of the two of them were more curved.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let's go in too." Guo Mianmian forced himself not to look at the silent body on the ground, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

"Go!" Yu and Liu wiped away their tears with their sleeves, and looked at their sister-in-law and said in unison. They waited in there, and they couldn't wait.

Guo Mianmian didn't say anything, he bent down and drilled into the cramped hole that only allowed one person to go through. Yu and Liu followed, entering one after another.

Compared with the narrowness of the cave entrance, there is a cave in the cave, and it is a relatively spacious space that can accommodate more than a dozen people.

When his eyes adjusted to the darkness, and through the weak light that entered the cave orally, Guo Mianmian casually glanced into the cave and saw several people lying quietly side by side on the ground.

"How did you get in?" Seeing clearly that it was the three sisters-in-law of the Guo family, Li Li was taken aback, and then drove people out: "It's not good here, you guys go out, get out quickly." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and spoke again, but his voice was hoarse: "There are no big trees and forests, you go out!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the three sisters-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no surprise at all, and their hearts became more and more serious.

Plus the one that was carried out, there were still three people lying in the cave. They are all villagers in the village who don't see each other when they look up and don't see each other, which makes Tie Shixindi feel very uncomfortable at this moment.

What's more, the whereabouts of their relatives are unknown, and their lives are uncertain, perhaps ...... They were all the more unhappy.

The three sisters-in-law did not go out, and after Li Li and Da Niu walked out with the second body, the three of them walked out with another person on the ground in fear.

No matter whose relatives the person is carrying, they sincerely hope that the deceased will rest and the living can live well.

The two bodies were lifted out one after the other, and the unending weeping sounded one after another.

One of the gray-haired old men lay on top of his son, did not cry or tears, but gently touched his son's face with his hand, and muttered to take him home.

The other was embraced by his brothers, and the wails of the brothers were like she-beasts with their young cubs. The three brothers who live and die together will be separated by yin and yang in the future, and there will never be a day when they will gather to drink wine and eat meat.

Until the fourth rigid body was lifted out, the two people in the crowd who were full of honor knelt in front of their loved ones and broke up in mourning, as if they were about to dry all their tears.

The others stood not far away and watched, their expressions all filled with indescribable sorrow. It's not that I don't want to persuade those who have lost their relatives, but there is no way to persuade them when this kind of thing happens, so they just let them cry sadly, so as not to stuff their grief in their hearts and get sick.

"How can this be, why is it so inexplicably gone?" Li Li's tears never dried, and he looked at the four small hairs who were held in the arms of their relatives and muttered to themselves.

yes, why is it gone? Everyone was puzzled.

There were no wounds on the body, there was something to eat, there was unburned firewood in the cave, it was not bitten to death by wild beasts, it was not starved to death or frozen to death, why were the four living people gone?

Guo Mianmian vaguely knew the reason, she hesitated for a while and felt that it might be better to say it, so she constructed a language and said in words that others could understand as much as possible: "Their lips and exposed skin are all cherry blood, if I expected it correctly, it should be poisoned." ”

"Poisoned?" Everyone was taken aback, and they all shook their heads casually: "No, they are very close, and they usually have no grudges, who would be so vicious and poisonous to harm others?" Besides, it is winter at this time, or the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and it is impossible to be bitten to death by poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. ”

Guo Mianmian shook his head and replied, "It's not medicine or poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, they were poisoned by a poisonous gas." ”

This toxic gas is carbon monoxide in the daimyo of Susehua, and anyone who has ever touched chemistry knows that all materials that are not incinerated produce carbon monoxide. When this toxic gas reaches a certain concentration in a closed space, it can kill people in silence.

Guo Mianmian carefully examined those people, not only the lips are cherry blood, but even the exposed skin is also bright blood, which is the most typical symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Looking at everyone's suspicious expression, Guo Mianmian felt that it was necessary to give them a science popularization, so as not to have similar tragedies in the distance: "In the past, I was running errands in a large family, and a family next door burned charcoal to heat the child's house on a snowy day, and the child was poisoned after a long time. If someone hadn't happened to go to this house and noticed it, I'm afraid the child would be gone. Later, I learned that on a snowy day, the roof was blocked by snow blocking the gaps between the tiles, and the doors and windows of the child's room were closed. ”
