【016】Go up the mountain
"It turns out that I was called to the clinic for this." Shang Yan was inexplicably moved in his heart, and hurriedly said to the old doctor gratefully: "Thank you so much, uncle." ”
"It's fine." The old doctor waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's not early, since you have got the things, go back and rest quickly, early tomorrow morning, I still need you to accompany the villagers into the mountains to have a look." ”
"yes, I see." Shang Yan got up to say goodbye to the old doctor, and at the same time pretended to inadvertently glance at the cover of the doctor's diary placed on the table, only to know that the old doctor's name was Pu Qingsong.
After coming out of the clinic, looking at the dark street outside, Shang Yan couldn't help but shudder, and quickly shrunk his neck and ran in the direction of Liu Zhuangshi's house.
When Shang Yan returned to Liu's house, Liu Zhuangshi's daughter-in-law immediately greeted him and asked Shang Yan worriedly about what happened.
Shang Yan half-truthfully explained to her that Lao Huang and his children were sick, and Liu Zhuangshi sent them to the city hospital overnight to see a doctor, and they might not be able to come back tonight.
Liu Zhuangshi's daughter-in-law relieved her heart after listening to Shang Yan's explanation, and Shang Yan went back to her room to sleep with a tired face.
……
Early the next morning, Shang Yan was woken up from his sleep by a knock on the door, opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and recovered all the peace charms on his body one by one, Shang Yan got out of bed with a yawn and went to open the door to the person who knocked on the door.
Because of some strange things that happened yesterday, Shang Yan covered himself with dozens of peace charms before closing his eyes and falling asleep for the sake of safety.
The effect of this is very good, it can make people's hearts relax a lot, and the quality of sleep will also be improved.
"Who?" As soon as Shang Yan opened the door, he saw Liu Zhuangshi standing outside the door, and there were two middle-aged people besides him.
"Uncle Liu? When did you come back from the city? Seeing that it was Liu Zhuangshi, Shang Yan couldn't help but rub his eyes and asked sleepily.
"I'll be back just after dawn, there's nothing going on over there Lao Huang, and I don't need to stay there." Liu Zhuangshi smiled honestly.
At this time, a middle-aged man next to him was silent, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it yet, young man, our village is now going to send a group of people to the mountains to take a stroll around to see what made those two children fall into evil. ”
"Oh!" Shang Yan reacted instantly when he heard this, he did promise Pu Qingsong to accompany the villagers into the mountain today.
Without further ado, Shang Yan immediately got dressed, hurriedly washed his face, and followed Liu Zhuangshi and the others towards the entrance of the village.
At this time, more than a dozen people had gathered here, all adults, with hoes and pitchforks in their hands, but they were ready for a big battle.
"Go ahead, since everyone has arrived, look carefully after entering the mountain, and check the place that the children said carefully." Pu Qingsong was also standing at the entrance of the village at this time, but as the only doctor in the village, he definitely couldn't accompany Shang Yan and the others into the mountain, so he could only give these people verbal support.
After Shang Yan arrived, the group immediately walked majestically towards a dirt road up the mountain outside the village, while Shang Yan followed with Liu Zhuangshi, and asked him about the operation at the same time.
It turned out that as early as when Shang Yan was still sleeping, Pu Qingsong had already found the children who went into the mountain to play with Xiaobao and Ah Mao yesterday and asked about the situation.
After entering the mountains, the children went all the way, picking some wild flowers and weeds from time to time to play on the way, and because the mountains were full of fruit trees, these children also went to pick fruits.
However, according to one of the children, Xiaobao and Ah Mao seemed to go to a place together on the way, disappeared for a while, and the two of them reappeared soon after, but at this time the two children's bodies had become dirty, and their palms were stained with a lot of black slime, as if they had gone to a very dirty place.
Except for this little episode, everyone has been staying together, judging from the fact that only Xiaobao and Ah Mao have problems among these children, the reason should be from the time when these two left the team.
Where the hell did the two of them go during this time?
This problem is the target of Shang Yan and others to investigate clearly when they enter the mountains this time, but the villagers of Guolianggou Village do not want similar things to happen again.
The group walked all the way, rummaging through the nearby vegetation and trees, while Shang Yan walked at the back of the team and communicated with Liu Zhuangshi.
"Uncle Liu, are you familiar with the terrain on this mountain?"
"It's okay, I usually walk a lot, but I only go to places that have been artificially opened by, and I don't go to those more remote mountain corners."
Shang Yan: "Then do you know where there is black slime on this mountain?" ”
"This ......" Liu Zhuangshi hesitated uncertainly, he really didn't know where there was black slime on this mountain.
Black slime, this is something that can only be seen in the gutter, and you will never see this kind of thing without a long period of soaking in filth and sewage and mud.
It is usually found in sewers, gutters, or under wells that are usually covered with stone slabs, where black slime can be seen.
However, the mountain where everyone is currently located is exposed to the sun and scorching sun all year round, and obviously does not have the conditions to produce black slime.
Where did the black slime on Xiaobao and Ah Mao come from?
If this problem can be solved, then the source of everything can be discovered.
Everyone searched all the way and walked all the way up the mountain, and the villagers would search every corner near the way up the mountain to ensure that they would not let go of any corner.
However, more than half an hour passed, but everyone did not find anything, which made everyone wonder, where could the source of this accident be?
Just as Shang Yan was rummaging in the grass next to the mountain road with a very casual attitude, a villager suddenly shouted loudly not far away.
"Come and see! It looks like someone has stepped on it! ”
Immediately, everyone ran over, only to see that in the dense bushes, there was a path that had obviously been trampled down, and it seemed that it could go deep into the trees.
Except for the roads that have been built at the expense of the government and some paths that have been artificially trampled by the villagers for many years, no one will go to the other places where the vegetation is luxuriant.
After all, there are usually a lot of potholes and slopes on the mountain, in case these hidden terrain is covered by trees, and people accidentally step on it, the consequences will be very dangerous.
