The lantern is out in the end.

"Old ...... Teacher...... It's dark......" Heiwa's voice trembled a little.

"Don't be afraid" Yan Yu collected some dead branches and burned them.

"Let's go out and talk about it, there are thorns all around, and you can't touch this sea buckthorn forest without fire."

By the light of the fire, Yan Yu took Heiwa and Lin Xiaoyu and hurried out of the sea buckthorn forest.

This sea buckthorn forest is at the foot of the hillside, with a dirt road in front of it, and the direction of the village to the north will be witnessed, and if it is indeed taken, it must have taken the child to the south.

The footprints of adults are still relatively easy to identify, and if you want to take away children, it is impossible to walk, and you must have transportation, which will definitely leave traces.

"Let's send Qiang back first, add lamp oil and then look south."

Lin Xiaoyu had no master of the six gods at the moment, so he handed it over to Yan Yu to get an idea, and was about to go back, but he saw a strong light shooting from afar.

"Is Comrade Yan Yu in front?"

When the people got closer, Yan Yu realized that it was a young man, wearing the uniform of the exploration team and the miner's headlamp.

"Yes, I'm Yan Yu."

"Oh, hello, my name is Xu Ao, Professor Zhang asked me to help, and the other comrades scattered and searched everywhere."

Xu Ao looks to be in his twenties, with some acne scars on the left side of his face, and his figure is a little lean, but under the rolled up sleeves, there are strong forearms, and it can be seen that he is also used to working outdoors.

"Hello, thank you so much!" Yan Yu shook hands with him, and he was not polite.

"Comrade Xu, do you have a flashlight? I found some clues and wanted to see if there were any ruts on the country road to the south......"

"Yes, yes!" Xu Ao took out an old flashlight from his bag and handed it to Yan Yu.

After thinking about it, Yan Yu asked Xu Ao again, "Can you borrow a pen and paper to use it?" ”

Xu Ao habitually took off the pen from his breast pocket and took out his work notes from his shoulder bag.

Yan Yu wrote hard, tore off the paper and folded it after a short time, and asked Lin Xiaoyu for the shoes, and handed them to Xu Ao.

"I have to trouble you to send this child back to the village, this letter must be handed over to Professor Zhang, this is the child's lost shoes, bring it with you, so that you can identify the child's ......"

Xu Ao didn't want to check the contents without authorization, so he received it in the satchel and went back with Heiwa.

"Let's hurry up too." Yan didn't say much, turned around and went to the path.

The light of the flashlight was very weak, as if an old man with kidney deficiency was urinating, and the light column did not last too far.

However, Lin Xiaoyu was a native after all, and soon came to the country road outside the sea buckthorn with Yan Yu, but he just talked about the ruts, and he didn't find any footprints.

Yan Yu didn't expect this to be the case, pondered for a moment, and muttered in a low voice: "To the north is the village, there are witnesses, and there is no south, the west is the hillside, is it to the east?" ”

"What's the place to the east?" As mentioned earlier, Yan Yu was not too familiar with the terrain, so he had to ask Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu shook his head: "It's a small tea mountain over there, and you can't get through ......."

"Can't get through?" Yan Yu was disappointed, but Lin Xiaoyu suddenly shouted: "I remembered!" I remember! ”

"Jiang Hai used to like to hunt some game in the mountains, and once told me that there is a road to the valley to go east around the northern foot of Xiaocha Mountain!"

"The valley? Is it Qinjiaao? Yan Yu couldn't help but show a look of surprise after all, and the guess in his heart was one step closer!

Lin Xiaoyu found that something was wrong, and finally spoke.

"Are you...... Did you find something in Qinjiaao? ”

Yan Yu is also cautious, after all, this is all his speculation, and this speculation is too absurd and too bold, and it is not often seen in books.

Of course, more importantly, he didn't want to imagine such an evil and shady side.

"It's nothing, it's just that they don't help, that's all."

Lin Xiaoyu became a little indifferent: "They are my children, I have been desperately living in this life, don't hide it from me!" ”

Yan Yu thought for a while and said, "Qin Zhong is also present, if the child is really taken to Qinjiaao, it is impossible for him to be indifferent." ”

"Even if he is ruthless, he can't act in this scene, as you saw just now, he is really anxious."

"Besides, what do they want their children to do."

Lin Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and said, "This group of people can't do anything, what if Qin Zhong doesn't know?" ”

"Don't know?"

This time it was Yan Yu's turn to fall into doubt.

Because when he arrived at Qinjiaao, Qin Zhong did not stay with the others, but stayed on the periphery, and it was difficult to ensure that he was always present.

Thinking of the smell of barbecue he smelled, and then thinking about the indifferent and weird eyes of the group of men, Yan Yu's heart felt a little cold.

"Let's go check it out!" Yan Yu was still hesitating, but Lin Xiaoyu clenched his fists and said so.

Although she only heard her husband Zhao Jianghai talk about that road, she didn't walk it herself, but she still moved forward decisively at this time!

The old man in the village said that the reason why it is called Xiaochashan is because of the tea residue that fell from the gods, which formed this hill.

Instead of tea trees, the mountain is a strange-shaped poplar, like the tea residue covering the mountain, hence the name.

These poplars are the most wear-resistant, immortal, fangs and claws, like ghosts, even in the daytime, children do not dare to play on the small tea mountain.

The night wind gradually became stronger, rolling up the dust, the nose and hair were itchy and uncomfortable, the eyes were misty and watery, and the mouth was dry, and it was also uncomfortable.

The higher you go, the denser the dry poplar becomes, and the stronger the wind, and the night wind blows through the gaps in the poplar, forming a strange and sharp whistling sound, like a hundred ghosts crying at night.

The strong winds were held out of the poplar forest, but small tornadoes formed inside, kicking up dry dust and forming a mist.

The light ability of the flashlight is already poor, and the visibility is even lower at this time, and the two seem to be trapped in a maze.

What's even worse is that Populus euphratica is strangely shaped, and there are many shadows around him, the more he walks, the more confused he becomes, and the more he looks at it, the more he looks like a personal figure!

Lin Xiaoyu was a little scared, and approached Yan Yu, wanting to seek some security.

Although she is a local, she probably hasn't walked through the small tea mountain, let alone walked through this poplar forest, and it was still night!

Her brow tightened, and her hands began to tremble.

"You tell me the general direction, and I'll take it in front."

Yan Yu was also worried that Lin Xiaoyu would collapse, so he protected her behind him, and walked forward for a while, but Lin Xiaoyu behind him suddenly screamed!

"Big double! Little Shuang! Is that you? ”

"Big double! Little Shuang! It's a mother! ”

She ran desperately to the right, and Yan Yu hurriedly took a photo!

I thought it was Lin Xiaoyu's hallucination, but I never thought that I really saw a black shadow flashing past!

"Don't go over!"

Yan Yu grabbed it, but Lin Xiaoyu shook it off and rushed over regardless of it!

If it is a child, it is impossible to be so fast, if it is a child, when he hears the shout, he will inevitably respond to Lin Xiaoyu.

This means that the shadow is not a child!

The feeling of danger came from all directions like a frenzy of the angry sea, drowning Yan Yu's heart!

The climate is arid, and the beasts either die or flee, but there are also many beasts that are unwilling to leave.

They know how to survive better than humans, such as the hungry wolf cubs, who are as thin as dirt dogs, but they are reluctant to leave their territory.

Although Xiaochashan is not too high, this poplar forest is an excellent place for wild wolves to inhabit, if it is really a wolf, it will be dangerous!

The light of the flashlight shook so badly that the lamp head was already in poor contact, and it was completely extinguished under the violent running!

"Xiaoyu!"

"Xiaoyu!"

Yan Yu was completely anxious, suddenly lost his light, failed to adapt, and was in a dark place in front of him, and even a little dizzy.

Relying on the terrain of short memory, after running forward for a while, his face became hot and painful, and the hot blood slipped down, which should have been cut by poplar branches.

Yan Yu didn't dare to move forward, and slapped the flashlight desperately, the light flickered a few times, and then went out again.

was patting, and Lin Xiaoyu's heart-rending scream came from the front!

"Ahh

Yan Yu was so anxious that he threw it down, and there was a crisp collision sound between the battery and the lamphead, and the aperture of the flashlight lit up again!

Yan Yu ran forward, searched around in the aperture, and saw a gap in front of him, and when he shone down, it was a steep slope, the stone wall was rough and sharp, and under the slope was a jagged sea buckthorn.

When I took a look underground, the footprints were messy, and there was no trace of Lin Xiaoyu left and right!

"Xiao Yu! Where are you! Answer me! ”

Yan Yu shouted loudly, but an instinctive uneasiness welled up in his heart, cold air came out of the soles of his feet, along the backbone, scraping goosebumps all the way, the back of his neck was cold, and his hair was about to explode.

Because of his left side, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and with a bang, it left a scratch on his forearm!

The flashlight couldn't hold it, it clicked to the ground, and the light went out again!

Yan Yu didn't care about his arm, and he kicked it in the dark shadow!

But the black shadow crashed into his arms, Yan Yu only felt that his feet were empty, his back was already in the air, crossed the gap, and fell down!

Although there is sea buckthorn underneath, which plays a cushioning role, Yan Yu's clothes were torn apart, and the back of his head finally hit the ground!

He felt like his internal organs were all scattered, and then they were all huddled together, stuck in his chest, unable to breathe, his brain was buzzing, and he lost all sound.

He was like floating in an endless sea of void, with only his soul left, and he couldn't perceive the presence of his body, which made him feel endless panic.

At this moment, a light lit up above his head, and in the aperture of the flashlight, an unkempt and hideous face appeared in his sight!

"Xiao Yu run! Run! ”

It's like a nightmare of a ghost pressing the bed, his soul screams desperately, but he can't hear it, and the more he wants to shout, the more depressed he becomes!

The dirty and hideous face gradually became blurred, and the light of the flashlight also spread, like a drop of milk melting in the inkpool, and it fell into darkness completely.
