Chapter Ninety-Four: Bad Luck
I didn't agree to Lao Fei's request, so that he and Lin Miao could guard Heavenly Mountain well.
For Lin Miao, I am very relieved.
What do you say about him, since the first time I met him, it gave me a strange feeling, mysterious, weird, yet simple.
It is hard to imagine that such a contradictory factor is concentrated in one person.
I don't know anything about his past, except that he is the only remnant of the Gaoshan Clan, and he doesn't remember anything else.
Maybe it was because the blow was too big, or maybe it was because he was parasitized by the Wire Worm King, he only knew that he was from the Gaoshan tribe.
He once left the 100,000 mountains.
I don't know when.
I don't know what kind of experience I have experienced.
He had a holiday with the Miao Jiang Gu clan who lived in the 100,000 Great Mountains, because he stole the Gu King they had worked so hard to cultivate, and not only that, but also took their Bailing Pill.
Miao people are divided into raw seedlings and mature seedlings, mature seedlings are in contact with the outside world, and Miao people who have been sinicized, and raw seedlings live an isolated life and rarely interact with the outside world.
The Miao people have always had the saying of raising Gu, although they didn't see it with their own eyes, but when they fled from the 100,000 mountains that day, they were chased by thousands of evil snakes, and I believe it was true.
Maybe sooner or later they will come out of the mountains and find us to settle accounts.
And I have the Worm King parasitism in my body, and the Gu curse attacks from time to time, and I need the Bailing Pill they refine to relieve the pain.
Lin Miao and Yan Xiaoying gave me a limited amount of lark pills, and sooner or later they would be used up for a day.
At that time, I still can't solve the parasitic little red snake in my body, so I can only go to Tianlong Village again to steal the Bailing Pill.
Actually, that's why I'm going to go into Ssangyong to find Jingmei, and I think she'll be able to help me solve the problem.
I can't be like Lin Miao, and raise the little red snake parasitic in my body as a Gu worm, because that thing is the king of parasites. Lin Miao did this, which was also caused by years of cultivation and the suppression of the Gu King Corpse Devouring Ants.
Exactly, it's just a coincidental event!
And this kind of coincidental event is difficult to happen a second time, and the chances are very slim.
Now, the reason why I didn't turn into a red-haired monster is because I used to take Sansheng Grass.
The little red snake didn't riot in my body, probably because of this.
The three of us had an unpleasant discussion, and finally we broke up.
During the Chinese New Year, few people boarded to visit, and Lao Fei went to the reservoir to fish with a fishing whip, and he didn't have the same strength as when he first got the cultivation manuscript of the Evergreen Daoist.
Lin Miao was in a daze on the embankment, he was like this a lot of the time, spending time in a daze.
Li Chong and his wife, who went up the mountain to reinstate their son's grave, did not come back, and it is estimated that they found another way down the mountain and left.
I simply cleaned up, did not bring a mountain whip, nor did I bring Jingmei's tablet, and went down the mountain back to the village.
When we returned to the village, night fell.
Compared with the desertion on the mountain, the village is much more lively, and most of the students who went out of town have returned from vacation, and most of the people who have gone to work hard to make a living have also returned.
The whole village is lit up and full of laughter.
At least on the surface.
There are children playing in the fields with fireworks, and adults stand at the entrance of the village and shout loudly, urging the children to go home for dinner. Several family dogs chased each other under a big tree at the entrance of the village.
The red dust is noisy, but it also makes people feel very intimate.
When I entered the village, many people greeted me, and I responded one by one.
Before entering the house, Xiaoya ran out to greet me, and she was notified by her friends that I had come down from the mountain.
The plague incident caused the little girl to lose her family, and my parents took pity on her and raised her as their granddaughter.
And after all these days, she seems to have come out of the shadow of fear, at least on the surface.
I haven't had time to spend time with her.
When I come back this time, I plan to stay for a day to spend time with my loved ones.
When I entered the house, my mother was still the only one at home, and when I asked my father, my mother said that he had gone to the clinic with a medicine box. Although it is a holiday, the weather is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and if you don't pay attention, you will get sick.
My father is the only village doctor in the village, and most of the time he spends his time in the pharmacy or on his way to the clinic.
My mother was very concerned about my situation, especially after knowing what happened two days ago, she was even more worried and asked about Jingmei again.
I have to say good words of relief to this.
At nine o'clock in the evening, my father came back with the medicine box, and was slightly stunned when he saw me at home, but he didn't say much. Just ask me to have two drinks with him.
When I returned to the room at night, Xiaoya was clamoring to come in and sleep with me.
I thought to myself that she was still young and her own relatives, so there was nothing to avoid, so I agreed immediately.
That night, I talked with the little girl for most of the night, and during the conversation, I realized that the incident still left a great shadow in her young mind.
It's just that Xiaoya is sensible and never shows too much in front of her parents.
She was a strong girl, but when she talked to me about her dead relatives, she couldn't hold back her tears.
The next morning, I slept until three o'clock in the morning before I was woken up.
It was Xiaoya who woke me up, she was already dressed up, and asked me to take her to the city to play.
This is something I agreed with her last night, and my parents agreed that I should spend more time with the little girl.
After getting up and washing up and having breakfast, I took Xiaoya's hand and walked out of the village.
I wanted to stop by Yan Xiaoying's shop, but when I thought of what Lao Fei said to me before going down the mountain, I dispelled my mind again.
I stopped a village bus on the highway and arrived at noon when I got to the town.
I went shopping with Xiaoya for a while, bought some snacks she likes to eat, and a new set of clothes.
When I came out of the supermarket, I called Huang Yuting's phone, and there were some things that I had to ask her face to face.
After waiting for a long time, the phone was connected, but it was not Huang Yuting who answered, but a middle-aged woman with a rather old voice.
"Are you looking for Xiaoting? We were all looking for her, and since she came back from the reunion, she has become weird, often locking herself in her room and talking nonsense, and suddenly disappeared the night before, and we couldn't find her anywhere we could. ”
It was Huang Yuting's mother who answered the phone, and it could be heard from her voice that she was anxious, anxious and uneasy.
She told me that she had called the police yesterday to look for her, but she still couldn't find her.
Then she asked me who I was.
It seems that Huang Yuting's mobile phone did not note my name, and I told her my identity.
On the other side of the phone, Huang Yuting's mother was silent for a while before she said, "I know you Lao Tianyan, you are the classmate of Xiaoting who is guarding the Heavenly Mountain, right?" I've seen your pictures. ”
I was stunned and asked, "Yuting, why did she suddenly disappear?" ”
"We don't know, maybe it's because we've been under too much pressure lately, and we've encountered so many things......," Huang Yuting's mother cried, so anxious.
After hanging up the phone, I saw that it was not far from their house, so I took Xiaoya over to have a look.
Because I think Huang Yuting's disappearance at this time is a bit too coincidental, this is not like running away from home, because she didn't even bring her mobile phone and ID card.
I know where her home is, I just never be.
This reminds me of another thing, at the time of the funeral, the wooden bridge built by the murmur guy broke and was washed away by the current, could this have anything to do with Huang Yuting? Could it be that she went up to the Heavenly Mountain without us knowing?
Heaven Mountain is a vast area, there is not only one way up the mountain, there are many other deserted paths, if someone sneaks up the mountain from the path, it is difficult for us to notice.
Huang Yuting's family is a well-off family, her father was once the richest man in the village when he was young, and he was a millionaire in the nineties.
You must know that millionaires were still very rare at that time, just like billionaires today.
It's just that a few years ago, after he opened a factory and closed down at a loss, his situation plummeted, but compared to us rural families, he is still an upper-class person.
Her family lives in a western-style villa in a residential area where wealthy people live in the east of the city.
During a stalemate with the security guard at the entrance of the community, a police car suddenly drove out of it. The window rolled down, and I saw a man poking his head out of it.
"Xiao Yan, why did you come here?" The person who probed out of the car was Li Guodong.
"I heard that Yuting suddenly disappeared, I'll take a look."
"I see, you came just in time, I just happened to have something to look for you."
Li Guodong said, turned the car around, beckoned me to get in the car, I hesitated, and got into his police car with Xiaoya.
This time, the security guard did not dare to stop again, obediently opened the gate, and the car entered the community, turned around, and came to a villa downstairs and stopped.
"I'm here to investigate Huang Yuting's disappearance." Li Guodong said as he got out of the car.
"How's it going?" Xiaoya and I got out of the car and asked.
"This matter is a bit strange, I suspect that it has nothing to do with the murder of Li Guofeng, and even I suspect that the murderer is her, she is very suspicious."
"You think she's absconding in fear of crime?"
Li Guodong shook his head and said, "There is a possibility, but I suspect that she was affected by something, and that thing is very likely to be on your Heavenly Mountain." ”
"So, what do you want to tell me?"
"I plan to take some people to Heaven Mountain tomorrow to investigate, Xiao Yan, you have just become a mountain guard, your ability is limited after all, maybe there are some things, you can't deal with it alone......"
I frowned and asked, "Are you going to take someone into the Shuanglong Cave?" ”
Li Guodong said: "Yes, I believe you also know the legend of Bai Youlan, and it is my duty to investigate this matter clearly." But Heavenly Mountain is your territory, so tell you in advance to avoid conflict. ”
"I think you should know what kind of place the Double Dragon Cave is, since you want to go in, I won't stop you." I said in a deep voice.
"That's the best!"
Li Guodong snorted and said, "Let's not talk about this matter first, let's go in and have a look." ”
As he spoke, he led Xiaoya and me into the villa.
He was familiar with the place, as he had just come out of the villa before.
When I entered the villa, I saw Huang Yuting's mother sitting in the hall with tears on her face, accompanied by a person next to her, wearing a police uniform, holding a notebook, and asking questions.
Li Guodong and I greeted Huang Yuting's mother, who said that he wanted to see where Huang Yuting lived, and then we went straight upstairs.
When I opened the door to the room where Huang Yuting lived, I immediately smelled something unusual.
This smell is familiar to me, it is the stench of decaying objects, although it is very faint, but it is absolutely not wrong.
I frowned, how could there be a smell of rotting corpses in Huang Yuting's room?
Normally, a room where everyone lives should be fragrant, but Huang Yuting's room is not like this, the curtains inside are tightly drawn, and it looks very dark and gloomy......
