The news that the security team had locked up the living dead in Yushugou had never been revealed to the rest of the townspeople, and even the activities of capturing the living dead were carried out secretly and secretly, and the reason why Yang Mengqing knew this was completely by mistake.

And these have been mentioned in her diary, but the process is a little vague. I had already told her that we were looking through her diary, and she didn't pay much attention to it, but added some details.

That night, after Yang Mengqing found out about the security team's act of poaching the living dead, he became suspicious, so he secretly followed the car transporting the living dead to the outside of Yushugou. Originally, after seeing the mysterious white light, she just regarded it as a strange natural phenomenon, and didn't connect things with people at all, but when she found out that the security team sent the living dead into the elm tree ditch, she began to wonder if all this could have something to do with the security team?

Since Yang Mengqing remembered, all the things he heard about the elm ditch were all about how dangerous the elm ditch was, saying that there were monsters living in it, and that they must not go in, otherwise they would not be able to get out, and other threatening words, as for what the real elm ditch was like, no one had ever mentioned it.

But now a group of people from the security team swaggered in, and there was no taboo at all, and then thinking of those buildings in the elm ditch, Yang Mengqing knew that he was afraid that he had been deceived. All people of their own age have been deceived. But she never understood what ulterior secrets were hidden in the Elm Grove Valley, so that the older generation did not hesitate to tell a big lie to erase its existence.

The name of the elm ditch is actually a huge canyon with no end, and the canyon is full of karst caves, many of which are connected, and I don't know where they lead. In order to cover up the secret of Elm Gully, in addition to lying to the next generation, the townspeople also built a checkpoint and a fence at the entrance, which was guarded by people on weekdays, but since the accident, the checkpoint has been empty, especially at night, and there are living dead and strange birds everywhere, so no one dares to stay here at all.

After the security team entered the canyon, Yang Mengqing immediately followed, and then things were as in the diary, she followed all the way to the depths of the cave, discovered the secret of the mayor, and then was hunted down, fortunately met Uncle Ade, and then got out of danger.

There was one crucial thing in her diary that she didn't mention, and now that I heard her talk about it, I immediately thought it was probably related to everything.

That night, after she was discovered, she did not immediately flee from Elm Gully with the help of Uncle Ade, as written in her diary. In fact, after Uncle Ade found her, before the two could say a word, the white light appeared again, Uncle Ade immediately overwhelmed Yang Mengqing, and tried his best to block those rays of light with his body, and after the white light dissipated, Yang Mengqing immediately found that Ade's face had become a lot paler.

Yang Mengqing anxiously asked Ade if it didn't matter, but Ade just asked her to pay attention not to be exposed to the white light, and then gave her a mobile phone, telling her to leave Fengyang quickly and never come back. Naturally, she refused, and at this time, the rest of the security team also chased after her, and after Ade's final advice, he led the security team elsewhere.

After returning home, Yang Mengqing looked through the mobile phone given by Ade, and found that there were many photos and a recording in the mobile phone.

And when I asked her what kind of photos and recordings they were, she didn't know what to say, so I asked her if the phone was still there, she nodded and said yes, then took it out of her pocket and handed it to me.

"The power in the town has been out for a long time, and the power on the mobile phone has long been dry."

I just took the phone and pressed the power button, but found that there was no response at all, she lost no time at this time, I immediately rolled my eyes, and said that you have a fart for me! But then I found out that this phone is the old-fashioned phone with the battery removed, and to store things, it has to be in the memory card.

I hurriedly opened the phone cover, pulled out the memory card, and pulled out my phone. I used an all-in-one computer, and the battery couldn't be removed, but the card slot for the memory card was on the side, so I snapped it out, put this memory card in, and turned it on.

Soon I found more than 30 photos of Yang Mengqing in the memory card. When I clicked on the photo and flipped through it, I finally knew why she was so hesitant that I didn't know what to say.

It turned out that most of these photos were blurry, many of them were black, and it was impossible to see what was taken, and the only clear photos were of rocks. I guess it may be that he is not very good at taking pictures, or it may be because the pixels of his phone are not good, and of course, it may also be because these photos are taken by him secretly.

Whatever the reason, these photos are basically of little value. I sighed, and was about to look for the recording when Yang Mengqing suddenly sighed softly: "Hey, look what it is." ”

As she spoke, she reached out and pointed to the bottom right corner of the photo that was being displayed on the screen. It was a blurred photograph with what appeared to be a cave in the background, and I looked at where she was pointing and saw that although the photo was blurry, I could vaguely see what seemed to be a glitter in the gravel in the lower right corner.

"This is ......" I enlarged the photo, and found that there was still some gold in the shining place, and I was shocked and remembered that the Taoist priest told me a secret.

Fengyang produces sand gold, this is what the Taoist priest told me, but isn't the sand gold all under the riverbed under the water, although this photo is blurry, but it is definitely a stone cave, how can there be sand gold?

I hurriedly clicked on the rest of the photos to take a closer look, and sure enough, I found something suspected of gold ore in each photo, and I immediately gasped.

Yang Mengqing saw that I seemed to have eyebrows, and asked me if I saw something, I told my guess, she immediately shook her head, and said: "It can't be Shajin, I know all the places in the town to pan for gold, none of those places are in the hole, definitely not, and ......"

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to think of something, her face changed, and she said to herself, "Oh my God, should I ...... it?"

"What's wrong? What do you think of? I asked.

She said incredulously: "I saw a few large boxes in the hole where the vigilantes kept the living dead, and the mayor opened one, and it was full of gold lumps, and I thought it was sand gold at the time, but now that I think about it, even the best sand gold does not have that luster." ”

"What do you mean... What are the chests of real gold? ”

Yang Mengqing and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

Shajin, in fact, is also a kind of gold, but there are too many impurities, the purity is too low, and now a gram of high-quality sand gold on the market can be sold for about two hundred yuan, although the price is not low, but it is still a lot worse than gold, and gold panning is not an easy task, to find the boxes that Yang Mengqing saw, it is completely impossible to have a few hundred years, and it is necessary to have sufficient mineral resources. And if it is gold, if it is purified from the sand gold that is mined, it is even more impossible.

But Yang Mengqing saw so many golden bumps, and it was very likely to be pure gold, so there was only one possibility. There was gold in Elm Gully, and it was a huge bonanza, and the mayor and the townspeople, at least most of the townspeople, were stealing gold.

I couldn't believe it, but everything I knew so far was telling me that this was the most likely truth. And if that's the case, then everything makes sense.

Why are the neighboring villages so poor, but Fengyang is so rich? Why did the elders in Fengyang Town lie to cover up the situation in the elm ditch? Why didn't the mayor immediately ask for help after the appearance of the living dead, but blocked the news? Why are Taoist priests exterminated......

After figuring out all the keys, I suddenly felt bad! It is an immutable law since ancient times that the town has suffered great changes, and at this juncture, the mayor of the town will never let us outsiders who may know the news of the gold mine go untouched. Illegal gold mining is not a small crime, and it is possible that these guys have killed the police, but unfortunately I happened to know about it last night.

Thinking about it, I finished saying it in my heart, this is a contradiction that cannot be reconciled at all, and that bald man will definitely not let me go. I can only pray in my heart that those strange birds had better the bald man with the old man in the mask, or the three of us will be unlucky.

Thinking about it in a mess, I didn't notice Yang Mengqing's reaction, and suddenly, she knelt in front of me, choking back in tears.

I was startled, and hurriedly got her up, and asked her what was going on, why did she suddenly do this? She wiped her tears, and begged me with red eyes to help her find Abba and Grandma, without them, she would have no relatives in this world.

As she spoke, her tears began to fall again. I sighed, I had heard her about her parents earlier, at the beginning of the town's accident, her parents and a group of townspeople went into the mountains to search for the missing people in the town, and it didn't take long for some changes to take place after they returned. At first, he was particularly afraid of the sun, and slowly his skin lost its bloody color, but later, blisters began to grow all over his body, and he began to become like those of the living dead.

The only difference is that the living dead don't have the slightest affection for anything, not even their family members. But Yang Mengqing's parents are different, they have only changed, but their emotional thinking is still there, although they also began to attack Yang Mengqing later, but when their daughter was about to be hurt, they all came back to their senses. Later, for the safety of their daughter, the two of them left home and have disappeared ever since.

In my opinion, Yang Mengqing's parents have become those living dead and monsters. Judging from the current situation, even if I found it, it would be useless, and I might even put myself in danger, but at this time, I really couldn't bear to say this, so I agreed to her.

Yang Mengqing wiped away her tears excitedly, and suddenly kissed me on the face, so that I suddenly didn't know how to react.

No recordings were found in the memory card, so it was thought that it might be stored in the phone. We talked for more than two hours, and I rested, thinking that it was time to make peace with the Taoist priest. I told her my plan, she nodded, said that she was familiar with the road, show me the way, such a good thing I naturally will not refuse, the two of them out of the grass one after the other continued to walk along the river.

The fog gradually rose.
