This feeling was already there when we first entered the ancient alleys, but I have also been to some ancient cities in the Central Plains, and there are indeed such similar alleys, and there are no portals for residents to enter and exit on both sides of the alley, so it was just a subtle feeling at that time, and I immediately ruled it out.

But now it seems that things are not so simple, and the high walls erected on both sides do not seem to function as the alley walls of the old city that I have seen.

In ancient siege warfare, after the enemy broke through the city gate, if the defenders still had living forces, most of them would move into the city and engage in scattered street battles. Of course, the alley that leads the enemy is also what they want to let the other party into. These special lanes have been transformed by craftsmen long before the war, and the external portals are either sealed or tightly closed, and the walls of the alleys will be arranged with crossbowmen to catch turtles in urns, which is used in the art of war, but it is precisely this kind of bad tricks that can always cause more severe damage to the enemy.

At the end of the alley is a relatively tall building, the building seems to be an ancestral hall and other sacrificial places, the format of the building is somewhat Ming and Qing dynasty style, the roof has horned beasts, and the eaves beams and pillars are also carved with good craftsmanship.

The ancestral hall stands at the bottom of the cliff, and there are roads to other places behind it, and there are a few paths on the side of our exit, which seem to be the ones used for pedestrians.

As soon as we came out, Lao Zhuang had already taken out the compass early, and I leaned over to glance at it, and the compass pointer was facing the alley, without any deviation. Lao Zhuang looked up at the long and straight alleyway, and then slapped his thigh, and his face was also a look of pain.

"It's all right. If there's a problem, you can tell me straight. "When I saw this situation, I knew that Lao Zhuang must have seen something, and hurriedly asked about the cause and effect.

Lao Zhuang didn't reply, just patted his head to himself, and muttered in his mouth: "It's messy, it's messy, it's all messy." ”

I really don't understand, I want to ask, but I'm afraid he's still like this. Before he could come up with a countermeasure, the fat man with a black line on his face had already arrived. Lao Zhuang's self-talk, he heard it, and looked at my embarrassed face, so he asked: "If you know the situation, just say it, don't hide it." ”

"This village, no, it's a whole place, it should be the location of the burial pit. But why the forest guards should be stationed here is unreasonable. ”

Lao Zhuang shook his head repeatedly, and after speaking, he did not explain to us the reason for the situation and the meaning of the words, of course the fat man wanted to understand, so he grabbed Lao Zhuang, and then several of us went to an inconspicuous place on the edge of the ancestral hall.

Most of the people acted as security guards, in case the madman came again, and the others went to take care of the wounded, and no one noticed our movements, the fat man glanced at the busy people in the ancestral hall, and then turned his head and asked directly: "Old man Zhuang, there is a delay in the tent, now you have to make it clear to me, what do you mean by those words and what you just said, do you ...... Which side are you on? ”

Lao Zhuang's reaction was beyond my expectations, I thought it was a misunderstanding when I broke into his tent a few nights ago, but Lao Zhuang waved his hand, pushed away the fat man and dragged his arm.

"Hey, it's not the right time, who knew that madman would come up with such a thing." Lao Zhuang shook his head repeatedly, but the fat man didn't give up, and asked him to finish it in one breath if he wanted to speak.

After learning about the situation, I realized that this matter was not as simple as I imagined, and the reason for the matter had to start from the internal system of "Shadow", but before that, what I could know was that Lao Zhuang had defected elsewhere, and his other employer was Lu Chuan.

Now I fully understand what my brother is trying to achieve by doing this, and the "shadow" did give him something, but it was not actually a substantive item, but a report.

There is not much problem with the report itself, but there is a list along with the report, and the hundreds of people in the list are all people who have been vigorously looking for by the "shadow" all over the country in recent years, but why they are being found, Lao Zhuang himself is not clear, and he can roughly guess that these people are very attractive to both the elder brother and the "shadow".

Many years ago, the two people on the list showed a little bit of their feet, but these two people mysteriously disappeared at the end of the last century, and there has been a force within the "shadow" to investigate these things, until many years later, they have not found a single clue, but it is not without any clues. The two people on the list did not make progress, but they found that there was another person investigating these two people, and that person was Lu Chuan, who was only in his early twenties at the time, and that was also the first negotiation between Lu Chuan and Shadow.

Because after investigating Lu Chuan, it was found that the identity of this person was completely blank, so the investigator lured Lu Chuan into the "shadow" in a deceptive way. It took almost no effort for "Shadow" to learn a crucial clue, the two people who disappeared mysteriously, that is, the people that Lu Chuan and "Shadow" were looking for, turned out to be Lu Chuan's parents.

That's this piece of information, I can't accept it, I began to understand my brother's thoughts a little, but for a moment there was no direction. I don't have any memory of my parents, I was born in the spring of 1995, and both of them died in the autumn and winter of 1995. As for the cause of death, I only know that it was a car accident, and I haven't even found the body, and I have hardly heard detailed information anywhere, and I can only know this because a few relatives drank and talked about it casually.

Our parents were in a car accident in 1995, so they were supposed to be the entry point of the "shadow" and disappeared mysteriously, but the "shadow" never gave up, and there was a team in the team to investigate the whereabouts of my parents, but for nearly ten years, they did not find any clues, until eight years ago, that is, when my brother was the same age as me, he also began to investigate the whereabouts of our parents, and his thoughts I don't know, probably because he felt that the car accident was indeed a bit ridiculous.

And it was during the period of his investigation that he didn't know the relationship at that time, so after the names of our parents appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the local dark line, and then the old brother was introduced into the "shadow" plan.

In the time that followed, the elder brother and the "shadow" reached an agreement to work together, they went to various places to find clues, in all kinds of fog, they found a lot of key things, and at the same time, they also found a disabled person named Liu Quanyou somewhere in Chengdu, Sichuan, and the story of this person is the one told at the beginning of the whole article.

Liu Quanyou, both legs are disabled, the cause is the car accident, he has been thinking about this matter, although more than ten years have passed, but every time I think about it, I still can't put it down.

The two missing bodies had already been proved to be our parents with the help of Liu Quanyou at that time, and no one knew where their bodies went.

For many years after that, they investigated one by one, and it was during these years that my brother's personality changed very complicatedly, but I didn't have any influence on it at the time.

Nearly six years of hard work have yielded no useful results. Whether it was the elder brother or the "shadow", they had already begun to wonder if the method was used wrongly, that is, during that time, the list of hundreds of people was taken out by the "shadow" for the first time in the name of clues.

The elder brother found the names of his parents in the list, and I think it was at that time that his trust in the "shadow" began to break. If it is my mind, it is essential to expose the other party. But the elder brother didn't, as a tool of the other party, he also used the other party's group with the pseudonym "Shadow" as a tool.

The list was very helpful to the elder brother, and he didn't know why his parents' names appeared on the list in the end, but there should always be a regular appearance, so investigating his parents' background became his only job at that time.

But the result is not good, I don't know why, whether it is the family tree or all the other records that can prove the identity, there is no information about the two parents. The family system was in a void, and the elder brother turned his direction to the household registration file.

But the results also made him puzzling, the old brother dredged the local public security department, and finally was able to check the local archives, but, in the complicated archives, there was still no information about his parents, and finally he only learned that more than ten years ago, the old archives were overfired, the fire area was not large, and more than ten household registration files were burned, because there was no backup, so the matter has been put aside as a historical legacy.

These inconclusive investigations frustrated my brother's spirits, and it could be regarded as his own willpower being stronger, otherwise no one would have made a final attempt at the NDE after six years of fruitless results.

The old brother's idea was very simple, since he would appear on a list, at least the identity and the events he experienced would be the same, although the search was probably the same result, but he still had the last hope to investigate one of the people on the list.

This person's name is Liu Baoshan, and in this person, the elder brother unexpectedly obtained a very important clue, although Liu Baoshan had passed away during the time period of the elder brother's investigation. This man had a very innocent past, a worker from the countryside, who died on a construction site a few years before he was investigated.

The clue is not the person himself, but the place he came from. Liu Baoshan's hometown is where we are now, of course, these were only learned later. At the beginning, the old brother just investigated the new village that had been relocated to the outside of the mountain.

Of course, it's not surprising that it's just a single person's information, but it's the most important thing to check all the information after checking the people on the list one by one, and the investigation can go so smoothly, of course, with the help of "shadows".
