Chapter 313: A Strange Disappearance
"When did your son's disappearance take place?" the Master asked the couple with a cautious expression.
"This happened at half past one yesterday afternoon," said the woman's husband who said this to Master.
"Then you two can take me to the place where the incident happened," Master said to the young couple, rising from his chair.
"I'm sorry for you, Master," the woman said to Master with a handful of snot and tears.
"Liu Shou, you go upstairs and take down my things," Master instructed me.
"Yes, Master" I answered Master and ran upstairs, when I passed the warehouse door on the second floor, I found that the door that had been frosted had melted, and I didn't care so much at this time, I ran to Master's bedroom, and took Master's robe, copper coins, swords, and old-fashioned suitcase down.
"Let's go now," Master took the robe in my hand, put it on his body, and walked out.
The young couple drove me and Master out of Hutong No. 88 in their car, and they didn't know where they were pulling us to. Not long after the master sat in the car, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, he has been sleeping a lot lately, and he must take a nap after eating at noon.
"How long will it be before we get there," I asked the man who was driving.
"About two hours or so," the man replied to me, and as soon as I heard that there were still two hours to go, I simply closed my eyes and fell asleep with Master, and it was not until we reached our destination that the young couple woke me up with Master.
"Master, we're here," the woman said to me, pointing to her mother-in-law's house.
This woman's mother-in-law lived at the foot of a large mountain, surrounded by deserted people, and there were two families at the foot of this big mountain, and the other family had no doors or windows, and it seemed as if no one had lived in it for a long time.
"What do you two call you," Master asked the young couple as he got out of the car.
"My surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Minjiang," the man introduced himself to the master first.
"My surname is Fang, and my name is Fang Yuan," the woman introduced to Master with tears in her eyes.
"Where was your son blown away by the wind yesterday," Master continued to ask the young couple.
"At that time, my son got out of the car first, I walked out of the car with my husband and went around the back of the car to open the trunk of the car to get things for the old man, and when we took out the things, there was a strong wind in the yard, and my son was less than three meters away from us at that time" Fang Yuan pointed to the place three meters away in front of the gate and said to my master, after listening to Fang Yuan's description, I personally think that this matter should not be done by ghosts.
Master slowly walked to the place where Fang Yuan pointed and squatted down to grab a handful of dust on the ground and put it under his nose and smelled it, while I looked at Master suspiciously, not knowing what he was doing.
"Master, what are you doing here?" With an old-fashioned leather case in my right hand and a copper coin sword in my left hand, I walked up to my master and asked him.
"You come and smell the soil," Master did not answer me, but brought the soil in his hand under my nose for me to smell.
I sniffed it vigorously and didn't smell anything different at all, "Master, it's just an earthy smell!" I looked at Master and said.
"You sniff it carefully," the master put the handful of dirt under my nose and let me smell it.
"Okay" I replied to Master, then closed my eyes and sniffed the dirt in Master's hand carefully with my nose, I smelled a faint smell in the soil, if I didn't smell it carefully, I wouldn't be able to smell it at all.
"Master, I smell a faint smell," I opened my eyes and said truthfully to Master.
"That's right, there's a smell in the dirt," Master said to me, nodding his head.
"Master, my son, has he been captured by a ghost," Sun Minjiang stepped forward and asked my master with an anxious face.
"Your son was not captured by a ghost, he should have been captured by a demon," the master said to Sun Minjiang as he threw the soil in his hand to the ground.
"Poof", after Sun Minjiang listened to his master's words, his legs were weak in fright, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and his tears flowed down his cheeks.
"By the way, what about your old man?" Master asked Sun Minjiang, we have been here for a while, and we have not seen Sun Minjiang's parents come out.
"My mom she learned yesterday that her grandson was lost in the yard, and her heart attack occurred on the spot, my mom and she are now hospitalized in the hospital, and my dad is in the hospital with my mom" Sun Minjiang buried his head in his chest and said to the master, when I heard this, I felt a little distressed for this family, the originally happy family, because of the disappearance of a child, the whole family was not at peace, which made me think of those crazy human traffickers, who stole the children and sold them far away for their own selfish interests, regardless of other people's families, There are about 200,000 missing children in China every year, and only about 0.1% of them are recovered, which means that more than 200 children can only be recovered for 200,000 children, which means that there are many families who have to bear the pain of losing their children.
"Sun Minjiang, were you born here since you were a child?" Master pointed to his family's house and asked Sun Minjiang.
"Yes, I was born here since I was a child," Sun Minjiang nodded back to Master.
"Then have you heard the old man say that there is a legend of a demon in your mountain," the master said to Sun Minjiang with a cautious face.
"When I was young, I heard my grandfather say that he said that there are fox demons on our mountain, and I don't know if it's true or not. By the way, master, there are two brothers in our family, and I also have a brother above me, I heard my mother say that when I was three years old, my five-year-old brother played alone in the yard, and when it was dark, my mother called my brother to eat, but my brother was gone, at that time, my mother and my father both of them searched for three days and did not find it, they thought that my brother was abducted by human traffickers, and soon after the eight-year-old child of the neighbor on the right side of our house was also lost, and our neighbor cried to death. After another month, the neighbor on the right side of our house moved out, and the house has been idle until now," Sun Minjiang said, pointing to the deserted house more than ten meters to the right of their house, to me and Master.
"Liu Shou, let's go to that house and have a look" After the master said this, he walked out of the courtyard of Sun Minjiang's house and walked towards the deserted house on the right, while I followed closely behind the master, Sun Minjiang got up from the ground and took his daughter-in-law's hand and followed the two of us.
Sun Minjiang's neighbor's yard was full of barren grass, through the half-human-high barren grass we walked into their neighbor's house, this deserted house is a three-room tiled house, the wooden window frames of the front and rear windows have long been rotten, not to mention whether there is glass, there is a large hole on the roof on the right with a diameter of one foot long, and the ground in the house is covered with mouse feces, rabbit feces and other animal excrement.
"My son's shoes, this is my son's shoes" Fang Yuan picked up a small green cotton shoe from the ground and shouted loudly, she grabbed the little green cotton shoe tightly with both hands, and tears fell to the ground.
"There is a commotion in this house, this commotion is the peculiar smell of foxes, your son should have been captured by the fox demon," said the master to the young couple as he stood in the deserted house and looked at the mountain behind the house.
"Master, you must save my son, as long as you can save my son back, even if it is bankrupt, I am willing to sell my house and car" After Fang Yuan said this to my master, she knelt in front of my master with a "poof".
"Big sister, don't be like this, get up quickly, I can't stand you like this" The master hurriedly stepped forward and helped Fang Yuan up from the ground.
"Master, my son is the lifeblood of our two sons, if he has three long and two short, how should we live" Fang Yuan cried after saying this, the loss of the child hit this mother hard, Fang Yuan's mood and I can understand it.
"This mountain is too big, it is too difficult to find your son, and even if he finds it, he may not be ......" The master frowned and looked at the mountain behind him and stopped talking about it halfway, he was afraid that if he continued, he would make the mother lose her mind.
