Assistant Bai usually works vigorously and resolutely, but today, her mother-in-law got up and told An Tianyu to take various precautions after she arrived on the mountain, and she nagged for more than an hour before she could do it.

She has always had a standard schedule and rest time, so she is already a little sleepy at the moment: "It's not early, I'm going to sleep, you should rest early, climbing the mountain is a hard job, and if you don't rest well, you can't climb." ”

An Tianyu also stood up: "Okay, then good night!" ”

An Tianyu, who returned to the bedroom, still didn't feel sleepy, she lay on the bed tossing and turning, and she didn't know how long it took before she finally fell asleep.

Probably because she decided to go up the mountain tomorrow, she was not as anxious as before, but she had a rare good night's sleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark, and the dazzling sunlight was still a little dazzling through the curtains.

She washed up briefly, ate breakfast, and went straight up the mountain with two bodyguards in civilian clothes.

The weather today is good, sunny and cloudless.

There is more than one road leading to the mountain, and the smoother ones will inevitably have a lot of twists and turns, and the steep ones are closer.

The two bodyguards were worried that An Tianyu's body was not strong, so they suggested that they should take the big road.

However, An Tianyu insisted on taking the path.

Because she felt that Qi Tianchen and his group would definitely choose to hide in an inaccessible place in order to avoid accidents.

And generally people who go up the mountain do not choose the steep road.

The path she took should be more likely to meet him.

The bodyguards couldn't resist her, so they had to compromise.

As the name suggests, Matsuyama Mountain is mostly covered with pines and cypresses, and the grass between the trees is full of fragrant grass, and occasionally dotted with delicate wildflowers, which is also pleasing to the eye.

From time to time, there were birds hovering overhead, and there were all sorts of birds, many of whom could not be named.

If it were in normal times, An Tianyu would definitely use his mobile phone to take some photos as a souvenir.

But today, she was not at all interested.

As she walked, she kept an eye out for movement in the trees along the roadside, but she couldn't see anything except the occasional rabbit or hedgehog or other small animal.

An Tianyu walked very fast at first, but when it was almost noon, she slowed down due to physical exhaustion.

At this time, they were not too far away from the rumored temple on the mountain, and they could even faintly hear the crisp sound of wooden fish in the temple.

The bodyguard saw that An Tianyu was already out of breath, so he couldn't help but persuade: "It's better for us to rest and go up the mountain again, and we are not in a hurry at this time." ”

An Tianyu didn't mean to stop: "When I was down the mountain just now, I saw a lot of suspicious people, I was really worried, if Tianchen couldn't hold it and chose to go down the mountain at this time, it would be dangerous, so we had to find him as soon as possible." ”

The bodyguard couldn't help sighing: "But such a big mountain, we don't know where Mr. Qi is, how can we find it in a short time?" ”

An Tianyu said: "I have a hunch that Tianchen is very likely to be in the temple on the mountain, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, there are many people in the temple, Dong Bo and his gang never thought that he would go there, but it is safer." ”

The bodyguard nodded: "It seems that there is also such a possibility." ”

An Tianyu said: "So, we must rush to the top of the mountain as soon as possible!" ”

The bodyguard asked again: "So if he is not on the mountain, where are we going to find him next?" ”

An Tianyu thought for a while: "Next, where to find it in the middle of nowhere." ”

When several people reached the top of the mountain, they were exhausted.

Even if the weather is good today, there are still not many people who come to burn incense in the temple, and they only hope that there are sparse people outside the temple gate.

An Tianyu explained that a bodyguard beside him stayed outside the temple gate to watch, and he walked inside while paying attention to the people passing by.

She burned a stick of incense in the main hall, and then walked around the temple again, but found nothing.

When she came out of it, she asked the bodyguards guarding outside, "Did you find any suspicious people?" ”

The bodyguard lowered his voice and said: "I didn't see any of us, but I saw two or three suspicious people, and the people in and out of the temple were all strong men, around thirty or forty years old." ”

An Tianyu nodded: "They are keeping an eye on it." ”

At this time, the bodyguard looked at a pavilion not far outside, and many people in the pavilion were eating: "Let's go eat something too, otherwise how can we have the strength to hurry?" ”

In fact, he was more worried that when he got to the dense forest, he would have nothing to eat, and he didn't know how long it would take to go down the mountain, and everyone was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.

Although An Tianyu was tired and still lacked appetite, he still nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

There were many vacant seats in the pavilion, and a few people found a table by the window to sit down, and then everyone asked for a bowl of noodles and chatted while eating.

The guests at the next table spoke loudly.

One of them was an old aunt in her sixties and seventies, dressed very fashionably: "When I was just going up the mountain, I heard a scream from someone in the woods, and I was so frightened that I couldn't walk." ”

One of her companions couldn't help but speak: "We weren't far away from you at the time, why didn't we hear it?" ”

The old aunt said: "It's strange here, you didn't hear it, and the backward Sister Pan didn't hear it, I thought I probably hit the evil, didn't it say that there was a corpse shredding case on this mountain many years ago, maybe there was a crime scene there, and then the ghost of the deceased was unwilling, so it came out to be scary." ”

The companion who had just spoken out said, "You will be foolish." ”

The old aunt was very unhappy: "What I said is the truth, I really heard the voice, the screaming is miserable, and then my head has been hurting, but it's strange to say, just after a stick of incense, it doesn't hurt all of a sudden, so I tell you, the Buddha on this mountain is very spiritual." ”

Their topics really don't interest people.

However, An Tianyu didn't know why, and kept listening attentively.

Then when the old aunts had finished eating and were about to leave, she actually stood up and stopped them.

She smiled at the old aunt who had just spoken: "Auntie, what you just said is true, where did you hear that voice?" ”

The old aunt looked at her: "What are you doing here, you can't get nightmares at night." ”

An Tianyu smiled: "Because I was discussing with my friends which way to go back, we were worried that if we walked on the road you said, we would meet that ghost again, that would not be."

It's horrible. ”

Of course, the old aunt did not doubt it, and said with a smile: "It is the westerly one, and the one with many flowers on the side of the road is the road we walked when we came." ”

An Tianyu smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Auntie." ”

The old aunt was still very enthusiastic and did not leave immediately: "Young people like you have seen few things, and it is not good if you are frightened, but you will have nightmares at night, so remember not to go that way." ”

An Tianyu nodded: "I know, Auntie, don't worry, we won't go that way anyway." ”

The old aunt's eyes suddenly looked at her a little wrong: "This young lady, why do I look at you a little familiar, are we where we have met before, or, you are a star." ”

An Tianyu's face did not change color, but he was already panicked in his heart, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "I have never seen Auntie, Auntie must have recognized the wrong person, and I am not a big star, but I used to work as a cashier in a supermarket, and Auntie probably went to my place to buy something, so it looks familiar." ”

The old aunt said in a skeptical tone: "Oh, it's possible. ”

Her companion had already arrived outside the pavilion at this moment, and he couldn't wait, so he beckoned her.

She had to leave, but she didn't forget to tell An Tianyu: "But don't remember my words, don't go the wrong way." ”

An Tianyu smiled and watched her leave with her companions before returning to her seat.

A bodyguard had already finished eating a bowl of noodles, and put down the dishes and chopsticks at this moment: "Why did you suddenly go to the bottom of this kind of thing, do you doubt what she said about the so-called ghosts......"

An Tianyu replied: "I used to hear people say that Songshan is a very safe mountain, there are almost no poisonous insects and beasts, as long as you don't drill in the mountains, no matter which way you go, it is safe." ”

The bodyguard frowned: "Yes, I don't know anything about this mountain. ”

An Tianyu continued: "I don't believe in any ghosts, and I think you must not believe it either, but my intuition tells me that that old aunt can't lie, she must have really heard someone's screams." ”

The bodyguard just nodded, and did not speak, waiting for his next step.

An Tianyu continued: "I think there are two possibilities, one is that our people meet Dong Bo's people, the two sides have a conflict, and then make this kind of sound, but it can't be just one voice. ”

The bodyguard spoke at this time: "Normally, it shouldn't be Dong Bo's people who make the sound, their people can't act alone, and they are all full of energy, even if they encounter any emergencies, they will definitely be able to deal with it." ”

An Tianyu smiled: "Yes, so it is very likely that the sound came from one of our people, maybe someone fell down or encountered other emergencies...... Anyway, even if they were to leave the neighborhood, they wouldn't have gone far, and I think we might be able to find them if we followed that path back. ”

The bodyguard nodded in agreement: "Okay, I think we can try our luck." ”

Since several people have reached a tacit understanding, after eating, they set off according to the plan.

The way down the mountain is naturally very easy, but several people are not walking fast, carefully paying attention to even the slightest wind and grass on the side of the road, for fear of missing a little favorable clue.

But what made An Tianyu feel disappointed was that they had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, and they still didn't see the shadow of Qi Tianchen and the others.
