On the way back to Linnan, I drove silently.

Meng Xiang saw that my face was gloomy and encouraged me, "Don't be so discouraged! If Zhang Xiaoyun is really what you said...... That unjust soul, at least we ...... It is quite possible that the cause of her death was found! ”

"I wish she hadn't died because of this boneless man!" I say.

Meng Xiang probably knew what I meant, sighed softly, and asked me, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”

"I think I'm going to go to the Ridge again!" I said, I had made up my mind.

"Huh?" Meng Xiang immediately looked back at me.

I can only analyze them with her one by one.

"First of all, I have to find out if Zhang Xiaoyun is really dead, and if so, whether it is because of Qi Zhuo; Secondly, Section Chief Zhou and Yuan Wang's case must still be related to Zhang Xiaoyun, after all, the timing of these things is too coincidental with the time when she wants to avenge her grievances. But I insisted that Section Chief Zhou and Yuan Wang didn't wake up, and she didn't do it. And the answers to these questions are believed to be in Uncle Zhang's hotel. ”

Meng Xiang looked down and thought about it, and his face also showed determination.

"If you must go, then I will go with you!"

I knew I couldn't stop her, so I could only say, "Since you must go, bring a pistol!" If I do run and push your door in the middle of the night, you don't hesitate to shoot me! ”

Meng Xiang suddenly stared at me with wide eyes, and said after a long time: "Don't say it so scary, okay?" ”

"I'm telling the truth!" I was serious and serious, "If you don't bring a pistol, I will never let you go with me." ”

Meng Xiang looked at me with both eyes, his lips moved, but he didn't argue again.

Early the next morning, we drove to Nanchuan County.

Before leaving, I reconfirmed whether Meng Xiang had brought a pistol, and Meng Xiang said yes, so I set off with her.

On the way, Meng Xiang suddenly remembered something and asked me, "You say...... If Zhang Xiaoyun really committed suicide because of Qi Zhuo, she is an unjust soul, why don't you go directly to Qi Zhuo for revenge, why do you want to avenge her? ”

This question actually bothers me as well.

Because Nanchong is next to Nanchuan County, the distance is not particularly far.

In everyone's imagination, the ghost should have no space, or even no time limit, and she should not succumb to the mountains because of this distance, and trouble me, a mortal, to avenge her.

But I'm not completely without ideas, it's just that I shouldn't tell Meng Xiang for the time being.

My motorcycle has always been stored in the Nanchuan County Police Station, so after arriving in Nanchuan County, Meng Xiang and I still found a place to eat first, and then still stored the police car at the county police station, took out my motorcycle, and I took Meng Xiang to Uncle Zhang's hotel.

It was less than three o'clock when we arrived, and we heard a few "Wang" sounds from afar, and the black dog ran out to meet us.

Meng Xiang and I looked inside through the fence wall, and the door of Uncle Zhang's house was actually open.

"Uncle Zhang is at home today?"

Meng Xiang looked back at me, and his face was quite surprised.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Because if Uncle Zhang is here, then we can get accurate answers to the questions that we can't solve by investigating in every possible way.

It's a pity that Meng Xiang called "Uncle Zhang" several times, but he didn't hear anyone reply.

We had to push our motorcycles into the fence first, still parked under the eaves.

The black dog surrounded me and Meng Xiang and had fun repeatedly, Meng Xiang was very happy, lowered his head and stroked the black dog's fur again and again.

We went into the room and saw the back door open.

The front and rear doors form a breeze through the hall, which makes people feel cool and swishing.

"Uncle Zhang must have come back, maybe he heard our voice and just avoided it." Meng Xiang said, lowering his voice.

"Why do you think so?" I asked.

"You see the floor is so clean, it's clear that the front and rear doors haven't been open for long."

I had to admire her keen observation, but in my heart I didn't think so.

Because even if the front and back doors are really opened not long ago, it cannot be said that it must have been opened by Uncle Zhang.

After all, this room itself is full of weirdness, and there have been cases where the door opens and closes inexplicably before.

However, I didn't argue with Meng Xiang, and watched Meng Xiang walk to the back of the room first and opened his throat and shouted twice: "Uncle Zhang! Uncle Zhang! ”

There was a faint echo in the mountain, but Uncle Zhang did not appear.

The kitchen door was actually open, and Meng Xiang went in to see that there was still half a tank of water in the water tank.

At this time, even I began to believe that maybe Uncle Zhang really came back.

Otherwise, there is no need to carry water for anything else.

But since Uncle Zhang refuses to appear, we are helpless.

However, Meng Xiang still insisted that I go to the bottom of the slope on the right to pick up two buckets of water and come back to boil water for cooking, and the water in the jar is only used to wash my face and feet.

I knew she was just in case, and in fact I didn't dare to drink the water in the tank.

So I took my load and went down the hill on the right to fetch water.

In the autumn drought, the spring water was much shallower than when I came before, and there was no way to scoop it directly with a bucket.

So I put the bucket by the spring and walked back to Uncle Zhang's house to get a wooden scoop to scoop water.

But when I turned around, the two wooden barrels that had been placed by the spring were gone.

If this were the first time I had encountered something like this, I would have been terrified.

But now it has long been determined that there is an "unjust soul", and this unjust soul may not harm me.

So I took a breath, calmed down, and simply faced the reckless woods, and shouted loudly.

"Zhang Xiaoyun, is that you? If so, tell me, who hurt you? ”

No one responded to me.

A gust of mountain wind blew and made me shiver.

I had to go back.

When Meng Xiang saw that I came back empty-handed, he asked me strangely what was wrong, and I could only smile bitterly.

"The barrel is gone!" I say.

Meng Xiang was far less than the weird things I had seen, so she was still frightened and immediately looked left and right.

"It's okay, I'll take a wooden basin down and bring a basin of water to use first!"

I tried to be as relaxed as I could, and I didn't try to explain why the barrel was missing.

But Meng Xiang still looked quite frightened.

In fact, I didn't dare to say in my heart that I didn't feel stunned at all.

I wanted to summon the black dog to be brave, but seeing Meng Xiang's face, I finally took the wooden basin and walked alone to the pool of spring water.

The barrels are well placed by the spring, just like they were before.

I looked again at the vast woods and the mountains, imagining what was hidden in the dense forest, in the mountains.

Far from comforting me, this imagination soon caused a sensation to permeate my whole body, causing me to chill all over my body.

- Something, staring straight at me!

I had been plagued by visions before, and whenever and wherever I was, I would feel like something was hiding in the shadows and staring at me.

But now, it's clear to me that it's not an illusion.

There was something really there, in the middle of the jungle, staring at me.
