Chapter 162: Clues
Hanging white means that someone in the family has passed away, and the white flag is hung outside, telling outsiders that there is something white in the family.
I turned my head to look at the headmaster and said, "I remember when we came last night, there was no white here." ”
The principal nodded slightly, and said, "This is the village chief's house, the village chief's surname is Zhao Baitian, and there is an old man in his 80s at home, and this white flag is estimated to be this old man." ”
As he spoke, the two of us walked up the mountain, but the road was not as steep as he said, and the road was paved with large stones, so it was not particularly difficult to go up the mountain.
And the purpose of our trip was not to climb up the mountain, but to go around the mountain to the mountain stream behind it. Although this mountain is not tall from afar, we walked for two hours before we finally reached the back of the mountain.
The headmaster took me on a detour from the back of the mountain, which was relatively close, but there was no stone paving, and it was not easy to walk, but it didn't take much effort for us to go around the mountain stream in the headmaster's mouth.
A small stream in the mountain, because it is already deep at this time, the ice and snow on the mountain melt, so the stream is very turbulent. The creek is between the two mountains, and the water winds down the other hill to the village. ‘
The headmaster and I were standing by the stream, and the headmaster pointed to the mountain at the source of the stream, and said, "It's called Yidao Mountain, and the place where the Yin soldiers appeared is near this Dao Mountain." ”
"A mountain of swords?" I looked at the towering mountain and muttered to myself.
"There is nothing peculiar about the east side of this peak, which is the side we are looking at, but on the west side of this mountain peak is a cliff, and the straight mountain is as if it was cut vertically with a knife, so people call it Yidao Mountain."
"So what do we do next?"
"Well, if we don't follow this stream to the mountain, maybe there will be some clues."
I nodded slightly, and the two of us walked towards the hill. As we walked along, the headmaster and I were shouting the names of Siya and Jingle Bell.
We walked along the stream for nearly half an hour, and we still found nothing. My throat was dry and hoarse, and when I saw the headmaster leaning over to drink from the stream, I was about to take two sips of water.
But just as I was holding the cool stream in the palm of my hand, I saw a sock with a yellow smiley face pattern in the water. So I quickly scooped the sock out of the water, it looked quite new, and it must have just fallen into the water.
And this sock standard can't appear in the village, so I guess maybe it's left by Siya or Jingle Bell.
I showed the socks to the headmaster, but there was no expression on the headmaster's face.
"Looks like they've been here......"
I nodded slightly, and was ready to continue looking. Soon, I found a coat that Si Yalai was wearing, but when I continued walking, I found nothing.
Another half an hour passed, and we were now at the side of the knife mountain. At this time, the water of this stream comes from the waterfall on the knife mountain, and the water of this waterfall flows out of a cave in the mountain, which looks quite large.
Standing next to the waterfall, I could only hear the roar in my ears. Listening carefully to the roar, it was really as if thousands of troops were rushing.
My mind was in a mess, I brought these two girls with me, but now they have disappeared inexplicably. So I leaned down and splashed my face with the cold water, and carefully thought about the cause and effect of the whole thing.
At this time, the headmaster was still looking around in the mountains next to the stream, in fact, I had also heard the legend of this Yin soldier borrowing the way, and the most bizarre thing was that the Yin soldier plundered people's lives. But this is only to drain people's souls, after all, those Yin soldiers are just the souls of the dead who stay here.
I took a deep breath, then hammered my chest hard and whispered, "You haven't spoken in a long time, how long the are you pretending?" ”
In the middle of the night, the voice of the black shadow came to my head.
"Don't you already have a conclusion, do you need me to repeat it?"
"But now that those two girls are gone, this conclusion is not valid."
"You're really smart and confused, boy, when you go out by yourself, you'd better see her wearing pajamas once, those yin soldiers won't wait for her to change into ordinary clothes and then take her pajamas away and throw them here."
"You mean ......"
"I've got it all said, think about it yourself, but you'd better get out of this place before the sun goes down."
"Why?"
"The aura here is not right, I'm afraid there will be evil things when the sun goes down."
I looked up at the sky, and it was already noon. It seemed that the shadow had the same idea as I was, so I asked the headmaster, "Let's go back first." ”
At this point, the headmaster's face suddenly became serious.
"The two of them haven't been found yet, so let's just go back?"
I nodded slightly and turned around and walked down the mountain, if I guessed correctly, this matter has nothing to do with the Yin Soldiers, how could the Yin Soldiers leave with the corpses when they kill people.
After I went down the hill with the principal, we returned to the village, and as soon as we reached the middle of the village, we saw a large black coffin lying horizontally at the entrance of the school.
"Why are these people at school?"
The headmaster shook his head a little embarrassedly, and said, "The village chief's father was the headmaster of this school before, so I think the village chief should want the old man to see this school for the last time before leaving." ”
I nodded thoughtfully, and at this moment a man dressed in linen and filial piety walked out from behind the coffin. This man should also look to be in his 50s, with brown skin and two mustaches, presumably he should be the village chief.
"Xiao Li, have you found it?"
The headmaster turned to look at me, shook his head, and said, "No, I've searched all over the mountain and haven't found it." ”
"That'...... How did you come back? ”
The boy didn't speak, just turned his head to look at me. However, I didn't answer the middle-aged man at the time, but stared at the village chief and asked, "Where is the family surnamed Huang in the village?" ”
"Old Yellow Head...... You ......"
"I want to see him."
