Chapter 17: The Mysterious Mountain Village

Ling Fan said his thoughts in a flash of inspiration, Lao Gu originally still kept his eyes slightly open, but when he heard Ling Fan say this, his eyes suddenly opened, and the toothpick in his mouth snapped. "That's right, Ling boy, why didn't I think that they must have gotten into the ground at that time, so I couldn't find them!" Old Gu immediately sat up from his seat and shouted excitedly. However, then, he frowned again and said secretly: "But what are those two doing on the ground, did they find me early in the morning?" ”

Ling Fan took Lao Gu's words and responded: "I think they should have discovered you, otherwise the two of them would have already gone underground, the reason why they are busy in the cultivation is to anesthetize your attention, when your vigilance is relaxed, they will take advantage of your inattention, and then burrow into the ground." ”

"No, those two guys can even find me, it's unlikely, right?!" Gu Rufeng still said with confidence in his latent technique.

Ling Fan shrugged his shoulders, looked at Gu Rufeng and said with a smile: "No matter what, anyway, they disappeared in front of your eyes, and it is very likely that they went underground, so you didn't find him." ”

Listening to Ling Fan's description, Gu Rufeng still frowned, and said, "But if that's the case, then what are they drilling into the ground for, why do they go underground?" ”

Ling Fan put his hands behind his head, sat upright, looked at the sky through the front window of the car, and said: "This is the reason why we went to that small mountain village to investigate this time, as long as we find out why they went underground and what kind of secrets are underground, then all of this may be solved." ”

"Brother Ling Fan, that was five years ago, does that small mountain village really still exist now, so does the cultivated land still exist?" The little girl who was quietly on the side finally said an insightful word, and this sentence directly made Ling Hao stunned.

That's right, everything is as Xin Yan said, five years have passed since the case back then, and a lot of things will happen in these five years, and no one can guarantee that the small hill still exists in this world, and no one can guarantee that under the erosion of the wind and sand, those cultivated land will still be intact.

"It's terrible, how do I think about these problems, maybe it's because it's a small isolated mountain village, so there should be a considerable chance of its existence." Ling Fan patted his forehead and sighed alone.

Their car was driving in the direction indicated by Lao Gu, although there were many roads that seemed impossible to pass, but in Tianyu's miraculous driving skills miraculously drove over, which made Ling Fan very impressed with Tianyu, but after all, mountain roads are mountain roads, and some places just have superb driving skills, and they can't reach their destination without getting down and walking.

"How long are we going to walk, Old Gu, are you sure there's the little mountain village ahead?" Ling Fan asked as he carefully stepped on the mountain road.

Gu Rufeng scratched his head, then looked at the surrounding mountains, and said: "It seems to be here, there should be no problem, at that time I remember that it was raining a lot, and I just lowered my head and just walked forward, I forgot the specific mountain scenery." Gu Rufeng said hesitantly.

Although the road lying under the script of everyone at this time is full of angular stones, the little girl Xinyan is running around like a happy butterfly, picking wild flowers on both sides of the mountain road from time to time, or kicking the small pebbles on both sides of the road, revealing the little girl's playful nature.

This kind of mountain road is not a big deal for Tianyu, it is estimated that even if the road is full of thorns, Tianyu can still walk as quickly as the wind.

There were only two people who were stumped on such a difficult mountain road, that was Ling Fan and Lao Gu, the two of them walked carefully on the sleeping path, careful of the stones under their feet, and occasionally an unknown animal crawled between the mountain roads, which immediately startled the two of them.

"Ah————!h Just as everyone was engrossed in walking forward, Xinyan suddenly let out a terrifying shout.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly ran towards Xinyan, and Ling Fan even pulled Xinyan behind him, and said with concern: "Girl, what's wrong?!" ”

Xin Yan hid behind Ling Fan, then pointed to the road in front of her and said, "Snake! Snake! ”

Sure enough, following Xinyan's fingers, a brown snake coiled in the middle of the road, to say that such a snake usually runs away after seeing people, but this snake not only did not escape, anyway, it shook its snake body high, and stared at everyone, its body also kept shaking around, and the triangular snake head looked very terrifying.

"The triangular head of the snake seems to be a belligerent viper!" Ling Fan carefully protected Xin Yan behind him, and then stared at the snake and said cautiously.

However, before Ling Fan's words could be finished, a cold light as fast as lightning suddenly crossed his eyes, and then he saw that the cold light instantly stabbed the snake's head.

The strong force immediately dragged the snake's entire body up, and then with a loud bang, the sharp cold light stared the snake's head at a dead bush in the endless distance next to it.

The head was nailed, and the snake struggled violently, however, soon, its coiled body gradually slackened, and the whole snake body was also motionless.

After seeing the poisonous snake being killed, Xin Yan, who was hiding behind Ling Fan, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Tianyu and said with great admiration: "Sister Tianyu, you are so powerful, you killed this snake in one fell swoop, it's too powerful." ”

Tianyu didn't squeak, but walked in, pulled the snake and dagger out of the dead wood, and then pulled the snake body away with the dagger, took out a bloody pill-like thing, and then handed it to Ling Fan and said, "Na, eat this." ”

Ling Fan looked at the pill-like thing in Tianyu's hand, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Tianyu, don't want it, can you eat this kind of thing?!" ”

Tianyu looked at Ling Fan with a weird smile and said, "This is the snake gall, it is a very precious thing on the snake's body, eat it, it is good for your body." ”

Ling Fan was quite unaccustomed to eating snake gall bladder raw, but it was not someone else standing in front of him at this time, but Tianyu, if he showed too much fear, it would make Tianyu despise him.

So Ling Fan took the snake gall from Tianyu's hand with an attitude of treating death as home, and then put it into his mouth with his nose, almost instantaneously, his mouth almost lost consciousness, and the whole mouth was full of the bitter taste of snake gall, and Ling Fan had to swallow this snake gall, which was really a rather painful process.

It was finally Ling Fan who swallowed the snake gall in his mouth, and immediately his mouth was filled with bitterness, which was indescribable bitterness, like stuffing a large handful of bitter gourd into his mouth, very uncomfortable.

However, the strange thing was that although Ling Fan's mouth was bitter, his heart was a different taste, he felt that his body was instantly full of energy, as if his strength was also much greater than before.

"Wow, Brother Ling Fan, you are really amazing, you can eat that kind of thing!" Xiao Xinyan looked at Ling Fan and said with great admiration.

Ling Fan laughed, then patted Xinyan's little head, and said with a smile: "Haha, of course it's amazing, you don't look at who I am, I'm your Ling Fan brother, what is there I can't do, haha." ”

"Alright, let's stop chatting, let's keep going, maybe that mysterious little mountain village is ahead." Tianyu put away the dagger and said to everyone.

So everyone embarked on the path to find the mysterious mountain village, along the way Lao Gu was always directing everyone where to go, but the sense of direction was too weak, and several times they went wrong, and they retreated.

However, just as everyone was about to reach the end of the mountain road, their eyes suddenly brightened, however, then their gods changed, because although there were modern buildings in front of them, they still looked like a village in the old village, and the whole village may have been given by people.

"This ...... How is it now, how is it here, what the hell is here?! The most surprising thing was Gu Rufeng, who saw him staring at the potholes in front of him and said.

Ling Fan's eyebrows were also tightly locked, and his eyes were also firmly fixed on the landscape in front of him, and he said, "I understand, the front is no longer a village, but has become a cultural relics protection area." ”

Thinking of this, in order to find out more truth, Ling He and the others hurriedly came down from the mountain, and then found a modern building hut standing next to these potholes.

Ling Fan and the others knocked on the door of the hut, and an old man over sixty years old opened the door, and when he saw Ling Fan and the others, his face showed a look of embarrassment, and then asked, "Who are you, what is the matter with me?" ”

Ling Fan immediately briefly said the information of his investigation in the previous autumn at this time, and then Ling Fan continued to look at the old man and asked, "Uncle, do you remember where those villages have moved now?" ”

The man over sixty years old looked at Ling Fan, and then his eyes flashed a trace of sadness, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction to the left, and said in a deep voice: "Since you want to find the small mountain village that originally came here, then you had better go to the other side of the mountain to inquire, maybe you can get more information and clues." ”
