After returning to the room, Li Chenfeng and Taozi breathed a sigh of relief, Taozi closed the door and whispered to Li Chenfeng: "Brother Chenfeng, this family feels like an enemy, especially the old lady, who is mentally abnormal and so fierce. ”

"It's because I'm mentally abnormal that I like to lose my temper and talk nonsense, anyway, it's all other people's family affairs, and we can't care so far, turn off the lights and sleep."

Taozi nodded, took off his coat, and was about to turn off the lights, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Brother Morrowind, where did Zebo go?"

Li Chenfeng was suddenly stunned, and then remembered that he hadn't seen Zebo since just now.

"He didn't seem to be there for dinner just now, did he?"

Taozi clapped his hands violently. "Oh no, he shouldn't have gotten lost in the woods when he went out with Xiaoyu just now."

"But Xiaoyu was present during the meal, and if the two of them went out together, they should come back together."

In an instant, both Li Chenfeng and Taozi became nervous.

"Don't worry about it so much, let's go to Xiaoyu and ask her now."

So they hurriedly opened the door and knocked on the door of Xiaoyu's room next door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Taozi."

Xiaoyu opened the door, and neither she nor Luo Wei had slept.

"Brother Taozi, is there something wrong?"

"Zebo is gone, did he go out with you before dinner?"

"I was going to let him go out with me to see the maple leaves, but just as we were going out, he said he was going to the bathroom, and then I waited at the door for most of the day and he didn't come, I thought he was playing cards with you in the room, so I didn't call him later."

"Oh no, I didn't eat this dinner, what the hell did he do?"

Xiaoyu also became a little anxious. "Otherwise, let's go to Mr. Chen and ask them."

Li Chenfeng said: "I suspect that he ran outside the villa, so let's do it, you and Luo Wei go to Chen Min to ask, and then look carefully in the villa, and Taozi and I will go to the woods outside to have a look." ”

Lovi came out of the house at this time. "Didn't you just say that there might be wild beasts on this mountain, and you have to be careful at night."

"Got it, we'll pay attention, and if anyone finds Zebo in a while, remember to call as soon as possible."

After speaking, Li Chenfeng and Taozi returned to the room, took a flashlight, and left the villa and walked into the maple forest.

The two of them searched and shouted in the woods, and after searching for more than half an hour, they still didn't see Zebo.

At this time, Li Chenfeng said to Taozi: "We have gone too far, we may get lost after a while, let's go back first." ”

"But Zebo, he ......"

"If he really gets lost in the woods, he shouldn't go too far, we've searched all over this area, I think he should still be in the villa, the villa is so big, let's go back and help Xiaoyu find it together."

Taozi looked at the surrounding dark woods, and although he was a little unwilling, he still nodded.

"Then we'll go back to the right, we haven't looked for that area, maybe we'll meet him later."

"Okay."

From time to time, there were a few howls of wild animals in the woods, which made Li Chenfeng and Taozi's hearts startled.

The two of them walked around the villa for about twenty minutes, and suddenly noticed a few faint fires flickering in the open space in front of them.

Taozi trembled and patted Li Chenfeng's shoulder. "Brother Morrowind, that ...... What's that? ”

Because of the distance, he couldn't see it very clearly.

"I can't see clearly, let's go over and take a look."

At this time, Taozi grabbed Li Chenfeng's coat and said with a very frightened look: "This barren mountain and wild ridge, it shouldn't be a ghost fire, right?" ”

Although this atmosphere is indeed a little weird, it is completely within the acceptable range of Li Chenfeng, and he reached out and patted Taozi's head.

"Why are you kid getting bolder and smaller now, a few sparks can scare you like this, where was the guts when he went to explore the Yin Mansion with Zebo before."

Taozi said hesitantly: "Morrowind, I'm not afraid, it's just that now Zebo is lost, I'm afraid that these things around me are not simple now." ”

"You think too much, but you're still a high school student, and you don't have any basic common sense. It's a real ghost fire, so what's there to be afraid of, but is it just a burning phosphorus fire? ”

After saying that, he pulled the waves and walked straight towards the firelight.

Strangely enough, they had been walking for five or six minutes, and the light of the fire had remained directly in front of them, as if they hadn't come any closer to it.

Li Chenfeng said with some confusion: "It's strange, could it be that it is really something unclean?" ”

Taozi was already scared, and when he heard Li Chenfeng say this, his heart was even more pounding.

"Morning ...... Brother Morrowind, maybe it was a relatively large fire, and then it was far away from us, so this is why this happens. It's like the moon in the sky, even if we get closer to it, we won't see it grow bigger for a short time. ”

Li Chenfeng nodded. "It makes sense, it could be some kind of bonfire in life, maybe Zebo is there, let's go over and have a look."

In this way, they deviated from the direction of going back to the villa, and walked towards the front for about ten minutes, the light of the fire really became clear, Li Chenfeng took a closer look, and found that it was not a bonfire, but a large fire composed of some small fire points.

On this dark night, it is indeed a little strange to have such a scene in the remote mountain forest.

Li Chenfeng and Taozi slowly leaned over with a flashlight, and only then did they fully see that these little fires were actually some lit candles, and there were more than a hundred of these candles, and they formed a large circle on the flat ground, and in the middle of this large circle were some stone bricks and wood burned into charcoal, as if this place was like the ruins of a house.

At this time, Taozi suddenly thought of something, and said to Li Chenfeng: "This is like the ruins of a fire, do you think it will be the attic that the housekeeper said before?" ”

Li Chenfeng nodded. "Quite possibly."

"That means that more than a dozen people, including Mrs. Yuan, were burned here, and this was already three years ago, why would anyone still light these candles here?"

Li Chenfeng noticed that the sand and gravel under the candles were all cemented together, and it seemed that this place had burned a lot of candles in the past three years, and the wax oil had formed many large wax blocks on the ground.

In addition to these candles, Li Chenfeng also noticed that there were many neat stones around the ruins, and each stone had a charm attached to it.

"If I'm not mistaken, these things should be used to suppress ghosts."
