Chapter 37: The Second Photograph

"Children talk nonsense, Mr. Su doesn't have to care."

The sharp aura on Nan Ting's body just disappeared in a flash, if it weren't for Su Heng's keen perception, it was estimated that it would be difficult to detect, and this kind of aura obviously shouldn't appear on an ordinary person.

Su Heng said with a noncommittal expression: "The so-called mountain guards, I'm afraid what they really guard is something in the mountain, right?" Like a so-called 'god'? ”

"Mr. Su, I don't understand what you mean, our family is very grateful for your help to Xiaoqian, but if it's something else, please forgive us for not being able to do anything." Nan Ting said directly, it's almost a mess.

"Uncle Nan thinks that if he doesn't say it, he will be able to keep the secret? Truth be told, before us, there was already an exploration team that entered the Ecstasy, and their purpose was also for the so-called gods, and if they got it, the consequences would be unimaginable. Su Heng said.

It's just that Nan Ting is still unmoved, as if he didn't hear it.

"This picture should be enough to explain the problem, in fact, some time ago, we found an almost identical statue, but in the end, it was snatched by the people of that evil organization, and they snatched the statue for some terrible, cruel experiments, this picture is based on the dictation of a dying man, I drew it."

Su Heng said, took out another piece of paper and put it in front of Nan Ting, but it was not based on the dictation of the dying person, but the walker he saw in the eyes of the little old man, especially the wolf claw, which was painted vividly.

Seeing this picture, Nan Ting's face changed again.

"There is one thing that Uncle Nan may not know yet, in fact, we are from the Mystery Team under the Seventh Division of National Affairs, which is responsible for the investigation of various strange cases." Su Heng once again sacrificed a killing move, this identity is sometimes very useful, pulling up the tiger skin as a banner, anyway, it is impossible for the other party to really verify it.

Even if there is some suspicion, Tang Jiuge's identity is absolutely real, and he is not afraid of being investigated.

"Trickster team?" Nan Ting frowned, thoughtful.

"Come with me yourself."

After a while, Nan Ting returned the photo and drawing paper to Su Heng and said to him.

Hearing this, Su Heng naturally understood that the other party still chose to confess, or rather, it was a compromise.

Gao Xiaojun and Tang Jiuge both consciously stayed outside, Nancy wanted to follow up, but was pulled by her mother and shook her head gently, but there was a trace of worry on her face.

Obviously, she also realized that she had said the wrong thing, at least she had never seen her father's expression just now, and it was a god and an evil organization, it sounded a little scary, could her simple, ordinary little family really withstand this kind of thing?

And for her father, she suddenly had a sense of strangeness.

In the study, Nan Ting motioned for Su Heng to sit down, and then took off an old glass photo frame from the wall, which contained many photos, basically what he looked like when he was young, but more of them were Nancy when she was a child, wearing a ponytail and riding on Nan Ting's neck.

In the background of the photo, there is a mountain, if nothing else, it should be Wawu Mountain.

I saw that after Nan Ting took off the photo frame, he opened it from the back, took out a photo, and pushed it in front of Su Heng.

Seeing this photo, Su Heng's eyes instinctively shrank.

Although the photo is black and white, you can still clearly see that the sky is obscured by layers of clouds and mist, countless silver snakes swimming, torrential rain is pouring, and a small village is hazy.

In the distance, a huge mudslide is erupting in a mountain stream.

Although everything was still, Su Heng had the illusion of being in it, the continuous thunder above his head covered the sound of the roaring mudslide, maybe the people of this small village were chatting, cooking, and resting at home, unaware that disaster was coming.

As for the person taking the picture, because the distance was too far, there was no time to inform the people in the small village, so they could only watch it happen.

Of course, maybe he tried hard after taking the photo, but in the face of this kind of punishment, the power of the individual is undoubtedly small.

After looking at this photo, Su Heng finally understood why Tang Jiu Ge couldn't find out the existence of this small village, because it had long been lost in history and swallowed up by mudslides.

"The person who took the picture was my father, and his camera was given to him by my grandfather after he rescued an expert, and after the disaster, the village disappeared completely, and some people above were afraid of taking responsibility, so they covered up all the truth, and my father was locked up for more than ten years before he was released.

Before he died, he told me everything and said, I am a descendant of the mountain guards, and my duty is to protect the god of the mountain, because he will bless our village. ”

Speaking of this, Nan Ting showed an expression that seemed to cry and laugh, with sadness and sarcasm.

If God could really protect them, then what about that disaster? And the so-called patron saint, in his opinion, is nothing more than a deception, a big lie, which deceives everyone.

"Isn't that ridiculous? Also ironic? Nan Ting looked at Su Heng again and asked.

Su Heng chose to remain silent, because he was not qualified to question a person who witnessed the disaster devouring his village and his own family, presumably the despair of the other party at that time was not something that outsiders could understand.

At the same time, he was thinking about something.

The photo above is dated December 12, 1958.

If he remembers correctly, Tian Lao's wife, Professor Xu, once said that his father-in-law died on December 6, 1958, three months after the first photo was taken.

But in fact, Professor Xu's statement is not entirely correct, December 6 is the day her father-in-law disappeared, but his family has designated this day as the day of his death.

But no one can guarantee that after the other party disappears, he will die immediately.

If you deduce from this photo and the record in the notebook, in the middle six days, Tian Lao's father should have returned here, and then something must have happened again.

Did the sudden mudslide have anything to do with him? What happened back then?

"In fact, that's how I felt at the time, and in order to prove him wrong, I chose to become a mountain ranger, and I finally found the place my father said, but I didn't expect it to be in ruins." Nan Ting said regretfully.

"Ruins?" Su Heng was stunned, obviously not expecting this kind of result.

"Yes, so I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, there's nothing you're looking for there, and even if someone goes in, there's nothing to gain." Nan Ting said affirmatively.
