It was a black and white photo that was a little brown, quite similar to the one that Brother Chu showed Wu Xie, sandwiched between many photos, and it was not easy to distinguish. Above was a group photo of two people, and Wu Xie was surprised to find that one of them turned out to be Chen Wenjin.

This photo is much larger than the one that Brother Chu showed Wu Xie, so I can see it quite clearly, in addition to these two people, there is also a child in the background. Another man, dressed in the folk costume of the Yao tribe, had a nervous expression, while Wen Jin smiled brightly.

What's going on, how did Wenjin's photo appear here? Wu Xie got goosebumps all over his body, and immediately asked Ah Gui: "When was this photo taken?" ”

Agui pulled over and looked at it: "Decades ago." He pointed to the man in folk costume, "This is my Abba, and this woman is from the expedition." ”

"Expeditions? Ever been to an expedition here? Wu Xie almost jumped up, "What's going on?" ”

"I don't know, I think I found something in the mountains over there." Ah Gui pointed in one direction, "I did it for several years, and then suddenly there was no follow-up." ”

"Wu Xie, why did you get together?" Mengli came back with the little brother pinching the time, and looked at the few people in the room with a puzzled expression.

"You're back," Aning smiled, gesturing to the picture on the wooden wall, "Look at that." ”

Following the direction of her finger, Mengli and the little brother saw the photo. Mengli seemed to have expected it, and there was no overreaction, but the little brother's eyes shrank slightly.

Then the little brother frowned slightly, his brows wrinkled imperceptibly, just now when he and Mengli were walking around the village, Mengli seemed to have been paying attention to the time, was it because it was expected......

Wu Xie nodded at Mengli and the little brother, and pulled Agui to sit down: "You tell us about this expedition!" ”

Ah Gui felt inexplicable, thinking what was going on with this person, why was he so excited when he heard this.

The fat man hurriedly helped Wu Xie Yuan and said: "A few of us are good for this, don't you mind, just tell me, we will give money, pay the manuscript fee, 30 words per thousand." ”

As soon as Agui heard that he was rich, he immediately became energetic, and hurriedly beckoned his daughter to come over and count the words, and told them everything from beginning to end.

When the incident happened, Ah Gui was only a teenager, and Banai was very poor and almost isolated from the world at that time, so the appearance of the expedition team made him very impressed. He remembered that there were more than a dozen people in the expedition team, led by a woman, who followed the people who were out to the market back to the village, because his father was the liaison officer in the village at that time, so he went to receive the expedition team.

The woman told his father that they were an archaeological expedition from the city, and that they were going to conduct an archaeological expedition nearby, and hoped that his father would cooperate.

They had a red seal document from the government, which was a big deal in the village, and Gui's father didn't dare to slack off, so he arranged accommodation and guides for them.

The expedition team stayed here for six or seven months, but during this period, they spent most of their time running in the mountains outside, and the people in the village basically did not have contact with the expedition team, and the closest relationship with them was the guide arranged by Agui's father.

Later, when the expedition was gone, they asked the guide what they were doing in the mountains. The guide couldn't tell, but they had traveled almost all the nearby mountains in the last few months, and it seemed that they had only found the place they were looking for in the last few months. If you don't run in the mountains, you don't need a guide, and the guide doesn't go with the team, so the woman asked him to report every three days, especially reminding him not to be early or late.

Then something happened that sounded evil.

At first, the guide went once every three days, no major problem, but once he wanted to help his relatives with the grass, thinking that it would be okay to go a day earlier, but when he went, he found that there was no one in the camp of the archaeological team, and he didn't know where he went. He was frightened, thinking that he had suffered some disaster, but he did not dare to say anything, so he went to look for it alone, but he searched all the nearby mountains and found nothing.

He went back to the village in fear, did not sleep all night, and went again the next day, only to find that the men had reappeared, and the camp was bustling with activity, as if nothing had happened. At that time, he thought it was abnormal, thinking that it was the mountain god who was doing the trick, but he didn't dare to say it, and waited for the archaeological team to leave before telling the villagers.

When the archaeological team left, they took with them more than a dozen boxes of things, all of which were said to have been found in that area, and no one knew what was inside. This photo was taken by the female leader and his father when he was leaving, and he was printed and sent back in the city, and because of this incident, his father later became a village official, so his father took it as his glorious history and hung it on the wall.

After Ah Gui finished speaking, the fat man couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, and gave Wu Xie a look, Wu Xie knew what he meant: The archaeological team disappeared, probably because of the fight.

Wu Xie made a gesture to tell the fat man not to get excited, and asked Ah Gui again: "What year is it?" Do you remember? ”

Ah Gui pointed to the child in the background behind the photo with his cigarette stick: "This is me, too young, I don't know the year." There were no books to read at that time. But surely someone will remember, and if you want to know more about it, I'll help you ask tomorrow. ”

Wu Xie thanked him, and his heart churned, it seems that things here are indeed more than that simple, the expedition team has appeared here, and it is not an accident that the little brother lives here, there must be a relationship with this expedition team behind this. Although there is not much information about Ah Gui, it is already certain that they have indeed carried out a series of archaeological activities in the mountains, which should obviously have something to do with their plan.

Ah Ning glanced at Wu Xie and understood what he was thinking, she looked at the mountain again and asked Ah Gui: "You are a local, do you have any local sayings in the mountain?" What could there be? ”

"It's called Giethoorn Mountain, and I really don't know what that place will be, but I'm actually quite curious. Later, I also asked some people, according to some old people, there was an old village in the ravine, I don't know when, some said that it was in the Ming Dynasty, and then when the emperor was fighting, there was a mountain fire, and most of it was burned by the mountain fire, and many people were burned, so it was abandoned, maybe they were studying that thing. Agui said, "What? Also interested? ”

"I'm interested." Mengli nodded and said, "It just so happens that we don't know which mountain is more fun to go to, and I think we have the answer now." ”

"The mountain is a bit far away, the road is not easy to walk, and it is very strange, there are few wild animals, and we generally don't go there. However, there is a river valley where you can catch fish, but it rains a lot in this season, which is very dangerous, so it is better not to go there if you want to play. Agui kindly reminded.

"Have you been?" The little brother asked suddenly.

"I haven't been there either, my grandfather did, and he said that the wildfire was so bad that the vegetation there has not yet recovered. If you want to know more, I can take you to your guide tomorrow, but it's better not to go to the mountains. Agui said.

"And if we must go, how should we go?" The little brother ignored it and asked.

Mengli looked at the little brother, it seemed that he was determined not to let go of any clues, and smiled helplessly, no matter where he was going, she would definitely accompany him, the fire came and the water came, and he couldn't protest silently.

"If you want to follow the stream, the road is very difficult to walk, if you want to go over, I can help you find someone to lead the way, two hundred yuan, how about it? However, I can't go tomorrow, at least two days, and now the Orion has not returned. ”

The little brother looked at Mengli, Mengli looked at the fat man, and the fat man looked at A-Ning again, A-Ning was stunned for a moment, and then understood something, and looked at Wu Xie helplessly, Wu Xie saw A-Ning looking at him, he was also slightly stunned, nodded, and went to see it anyway.

Two days is just right, they can first inquire about the little brother in the village, and then go to the mountains, and there is no conflict in time.
