When the sky was just dawning, Wu Lin took Li Xiruo and Dao Yan to find Du Shouxin, at this time Du Shouxin had already packed up and was ready to go, Wu Lin stepped forward to say hello to him, Du Shouxin agreed to come down, first take them to the forest farm to see, and then ask the other forest guards if there are any living people.

Du Shouxin was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black coat stained with gray and a stubbled beard in front of Li Xiruo and Daoyan.

When he was middle-aged, he still didn't have a daughter-in-law, and when he was young, he relied on his own Zhou Zheng, and he didn't worry about these, but he came and went for more than ten years, and now he has no money and no house, and people are sloppy, and no one in the village wants to follow him, so he simply guards the forest and doesn't come out.

He was born as a farmer, and he was introduced to the forest farm, and he cherished this hard-won job.

Du Shouxin walked in front, looked at the road through the gray sky, and said: "To tell the truth, our place is remote, and no one has come for a long time, so the person you are looking for is probably not here." ”

Li Xiruo pursed his lips and just said, "The last place where he appeared was next to a river ditch, on the right hand side is a hillside, and at your feet is a stone road, do you know where it is?" ”

Du Shouxin thought for a while: "I know, you haven't been to the east of the forest farm, but the description is quite detailed." ”

Li Xiruo didn't speak, Du Shouxin stared at the front, and ran over quickly, Dao Yan raised his eyebrows, Li Xiruo tightened his eyebrows and walked over, and saw Du Shouxin constantly stepping on the ground.

Dao Yan crossed his arms and leaned against the tree: "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone lit a fire here last night, and the fire was not extinguished for Lao Tzu, don't let me catch that little rabbit cub, otherwise I will slap him to death."

If the fire in the mountains and forests is not extinguished, it is an extremely terrible thing, so it is understandable that Du Shouxin is so angry, the forest fire is really not a joke, not to mention that there are many precious trees in it.

"It's cold and dark at night in this forest farm, what are they doing here in the middle of the night?"

Du Shouxin kicked the ashes on the ground to the side: "There was a rumor before that we had some rare beasts here, and at that time, many people secretly came to the forest farm in the middle of the night to hunt cherished beasts and make this black money. ”

"Exotic beasts?"

He patted the ash on his trouser leg and said: "How can there be these things, I have never seen this thing in this forest farm for so many years, but it has been slightly better in the past few years, and a group of people have found that there is not, and the news is estimated to have spread, and no one has come." But there must be undead boys around, who lie dead at home and don't do a serious thing, so they come to fight this idea. ”

Li Xiruo looked at the surrounding environment, and the forest farm here did not seem to be abnormal.

As he was talking, Du Shouxin suddenly saw a thief head and thief figure in the distance, and concluded that it was the one who started the fire last night, and accidentally fell asleep in the forest.

"Stop!"

As soon as he drank suddenly, the man ran wildly, Du Shouxin also rushed forward desperately, and soon disappeared, Dao Yan straightened up helplessly: "Did he forget that we were still here?" ”

Li Xiruo looked at the road ahead: "Let's go straight for a while and look around." ”

Dao Yan nodded, and after the two walked for a while, they saw many big stones with fire prevention slogans written on them: "A spark is enough to burn the forest." ”

Li Xiruo stopped and looked at the word, which was written on it with red ink, the stone was uneven, but the writing was exceptionally sharp and beautiful, and the strokes were full of fierceness, Li Xiruo only felt familiar when he looked at it, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Dao Yan saw her staring at the slogan, felt novel, and also came up to take a look, he glanced at it, squinted his eyes, and suddenly said to Li Xiruo: "Otherwise, let's go directly to the east and see if there is anyone along the road." ”

Li Xiruo thought of other places from his handwriting, Li Xiruo nodded, it is not a way to always wander around in the mountains and forests, she took out the compass, looked at the direction above, and walked east.

I don't know if it's because the distance is too far, or the direction pointed by the compass is inaccurate, the two walked for a long time and didn't see the piece of land in Gu Minghan's video, Li Xiruo looked up, surrounded by forests, birds flew over the forest, and they seemed to be trapped in a labyrinth.

Li Xiruo lowered his head, thought of something, and suddenly looked at Dao Yan and said, "Didn't you say that you came here before?" I can't remember the road at all. ”

Dao Yan was stunned for a moment, his face flashed with emptiness, but he covered it well, and immediately changed his expression and said: "That's been a long time, besides, the forest farm covers such a wide area, and these trees are about the same length, where did I get that memory." ”

Li Xiruo leaned against the tree, and there was a feeling of irritability in her heart, her intuition told her that Gu Minghan was here, but she couldn't find it, everyone said that she hadn't seen it, she held her forehead, closed her eyes tightly, but heard Dao Yan say anxiously: "Be careful." ”

As soon as Li Xiruo opened her eyes, a person's chest was reflected in front of her, accompanied by a clear smell, gently bringing her into her arms, a knife whistling in the wind and sticking it into the tree, and the person's short hair also brushed her ears, with a strange feeling.

Before she could react to what was happening, the man pushed her away and pulled out the knife stuck in the trunk of the tree, and a green spider with intricate patterns slowly fell to the ground with disgusting juice.

The man pulled out a black cloth and wiped his knife.

Only then did Li Xiruo see the person in front of him clearly, he was born very tall, but his appearance was mediocre, only a pair of eyes were clear. Wearing an old jacket and trousers, the sneakers on his feet are faintly cracked.

Dao Yan glanced at the man with a strange expression, and then asked Li Xiruo, "Are you okay?" ”

Li Xiruo shook his head, but Dao Yan quipped: "Your reflexes have decreased so much, the poisonous spider is about to climb your neck socket, and you don't react at all." ”

Li Xiruo stroked her forehead, Gu Minghan was missing, and her spiritual power was halved, many of her reactions were indeed not as good as before.

Li Xiruo just wanted to thank them, but the man looked at them coldly: "Who are you, what are you doing here?" ”

Dao Yan looked at his suspicious eyes and said angrily: "What do you mean by this, it sounds like we are stealing chickens and dogs." ”

The man looked them up and down: "It's not good for outsiders to come here." ”

Dao Yan laughed angrily at him: "Dude, did you just jump out of the coffin?" And now xenophobia? ”

"Eh, eh, Lin Rong, they were brought by me."

Du Shouxin has been missing for a long time, but he can be regarded as coming, Dao Yan said on the side: "It's really unkind, just left us and ran away." ”

Du Shouxin apologized to them again and again: "That kid is too good at running, and he is familiar with the way, he will disappear after a while, it seems that he is a veteran." ”

Lin Rong pursed his lips and looked at Du Shouxin: "Uncle Du, what are you bringing a few outsiders here?" ”

"They came looking for someone, saying that a friend had come here and never went back."

Lin Rong frowned: "This forest farm is not a man-eating monster, can it still swallow a living life, if you can't find someone, you should report it, instead of making up a random reason to come here." ”

Dao Yan sneered at Du Shouxin and said, "Your friend is really temperamental, and he said as if the forest farm was his family. ”

Du Shouxin also felt sorry: "I'm sorry, this kid didn't speak like this before, it may be that he just came back from the ghost gate half a month ago, so he hasn't adjusted yet." ”

Hearing that half a month ago, Li Xiruo thought about it, this was almost the time when Gu Minghan disappeared.

As he spoke, he pulled Lin Rong, but Lin Rong looked at Li Xiruo directly: "There is no one you are looking for in this forest farm, and the living person will stay here for a short time, so go back as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left, Li Xiruo looked up at him, looking at his back, she was shocked when he walked farther and farther, this back was exactly the same as Gu Minghan's, although the hair and clothes were different, but Li Xiruo seemed to see Gu Minghan in the video.

She wanted to catch up, but Dao Yan grabbed her, looked at her in confusion and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xiruo couldn't explain it clearly, but Dao Yan stopped her, but she sobered up, except for the similarity of the back, this person's face and eyes were different, it couldn't be Gu Minghan, but there was a faint sense of affirmation in her heart.

Li Xiruo asked Xiang Du Shouxin: "When did this Lin Rong come?" ”

Du Shouxin smiled: "This Lin Rong grew up here since he was a child, his deceased father was a forest ranger, so he is also a son inheriting his father's business, and he is the only one in the family after his father's death, so this child is usually quite silent, and because he had a serious illness some time ago, he came to many hospitals and did not get better, and he didn't have any savings to guard the forest, so he could only come back and lie down, and guess what, God favored, he got better again, and he was still alive, but this temperament was even more silent." ”

"Do you know what illness he had before?"

"It seems to be some kind of tumor in the stomach, malignant or benign."

Li Xiruo frowned, it is impossible for a malignant tumor to lie down on its own, even if it is benign, it will not recover so quickly. But no matter what, according to the available information, this person cannot be Gu Minghan.

Du Shouxin pointed ahead and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the east." ”

Li Xiruo could only nod and didn't take a few steps, but saw the slogan on the stone again, Du Shouxin saw her staring, and said happily: "This word is good-looking, I haven't asked Lin Rong to write it before, I don't know that this kid is secretly hiding a hand." ”

Li Xiruo looked at Du Shouxin: "This is what he wrote?" ”

"That's not it, don't look at this Lin Rong who hasn't read any books, he dropped out of high school, but if you take out this word, you can sell it."

Dao Yan listened impatiently on the side, and urged: "Okay, let's go, a word is also there to see." ”

Li Xiruo glanced at him and did not speak.
