I lay on the plank, and I didn't even feel sleepy because of the bold idea.

And the whimpering sound like a female ghost crying down again penetrated into the ears as if there were nothing.

I refuse to think about this, because if Fan Yaoqiang is not a ghost, then it is very likely that the sound of whimpering is not a female ghost crying, but the sound of the wind pouring into the cracks of the tiled windows.

But what's the deal with that women's shoe?

If there is no female ghost, who will leave the female shoe in the guest room?

I obviously don't want to think about it, but I can't put it aside when I think about it.

I raised my wrist to look at my watch, because it was glow-in-the-dark, and I could see that it wasn't even ten o'clock.

I was about to take out my mobile phone and make a call to my fiancée, firstly to tell my lovesickness, and secondly, to make my head easy and relaxed, when suddenly a "squeak" sounded and came to my ears.

It wasn't the sound of a rat, it looked like someone had gently pushed the door open.

My hair stood on end, and I quietly reached out with one hand and touched the small flashlight and electric shocker that I had placed on the side of my pillow before going to bed.

It was a special electric shock device, different from the electric baton that the officers had equipped.

Small and exquisite, but capable of radiating extremely strong high-voltage current towards a target within two meters.

But this electric shock device is not primarily used against humans, but against ghosts.

Ghosts and the like are not afraid of knives and guns, but the essence of ghosts is nothing more than condensed brain waves for some reason.

I held a small flashlight in one hand and an electric shocker in the other, holding my breath and listening.

Indeed, there was a faint noise outside, as if someone was pacing back and forth in the living room barefoot.

I sat up slowly, trying not to make a sound.

Then I walked slowly to the door of the bedroom, slowly pulled the latch, opened the door suddenly, and exclaimed, "Who's outside?" ”

At the same moment, I lit a small flashlight, and a pillar of light was cast into the living room.

I saw a shadow flicker, and something jumped into the small room behind me that was littered with rotten wood.

I remember the door of that room was closed before going to bed, but it was so narrow that it was opened by pulling outwards instead of pushing in.

In addition, there are no locks installed on the doors of houses in rural areas, so if something comes up with something in that room, it can be pushed open from the inside.

I turned on the light in the living room, walked over and opened the door completely, and then shone a small flashlight back and forth into the room.

Of course, it was impossible to see the shadow anymore, only a mess of rotten wood, still piled up in the room.

But I can be sure that the shadow before is not a human figure, or a ghost at all, it must be a little beast like a weasel.

As far as I can guess, this house has been uninhabited for many years, and there must have been wild beasts and the like that coming in from a hole in the ground, and the women's shoes must have been dragged up by this beast along the hole.

That's why that women's shoe gets covered in mud.

So the female ghost should not exist, and the ghost shadow that someone in Lijia Village saw through the window was just a beast that came out of a hole in the ground.

But I didn't feel very depressed about this, although I came for the "supernatural", but there are very few "supernatural" things in this world, and it is normal for nine out of ten investigations to be missed.

What's more, there is Fan Yaoqiang, I still believe that what happened to Fan Yaoqiang is by no means natural.

I lay down on the plank again and went to sleep, and once I was sure that the female ghost did not exist, the sound of whimpering was more like the sound of the mountain wind squeezing into the cracks in the tiles.

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, I went to Lijia Village to meet the villager from yesterday and went to Huaishu Cave together.

The villager's name was Li Yuanyin, and he was a very talkative man, but unfortunately he didn't hear anything useful from his mouth.

After walking in the mountains for two or three hours, I finally arrived at the Locust Tree Cave.

When there was still some distance from the Huaishu Cave, Li Yuanyin was very nervous, in his words, that piece of land was a place where savages often haunted.

However, we reached the Locust Tree Cave and found no trace of the wild man.

The Locust Tree Cave is a deep cave at the foot of a large mountain, and it is called the Locust Tree Cave because there is a big locust tree growing at the entrance of the cave.

According to Li Yuanyin, this locust tree cave used to be a good place for mountain people to go into the mountains to collect medicine and avoid heavy rains in summer.

But since more than ten years ago, this area has been infested with wild people.

Moreover, this wild man often attacked the lone mountain people, robbing them of food and clothing, so gradually, no one dared to go to the locust tree cave.

As I listened to Li Yuanyin's words, I felt more and more that it was not the behavior of a savage.

Because even if the wild man will rob the food of the mountain people, what is it doing when it robs the mountain people's clothes?

The wild man was covered with hair, could it be that this wild man had learned shame?

So after arriving at Huaishu Cave, Li Yuanyin repeatedly urged me to leave, but I took a closer look inside and outside the cave.

The first thing is, of course, to look at the root of the locust tree, which is the burial place that Fan Yaoqiang said.

However, the Lingxian police have been here before, and they have cut all the roots of the locust tree, and it can still be seen that the soil around the locust tree is softer than in other places.

In other words, since the Lingxian police have found nothing, I naturally don't have to waste my efforts.

So I went into the locust tree cave to check it out.

There is an area of more than 10 square meters in the cave, and the further you go inside, the narrower it becomes.

At the very top, there is a thick stalactite that goes up to the top of the cave.

I walked around the cave twice and didn't find anything worthy of my attention.

I was about to go out and walk around the cave when I had a strange feeling that made me turn around.

Behind me, there was only the thick stalactite at the top of the cave.

But in my ears, I heard a "pop", as if something had fallen from a high place to the ground.

And this voice came from behind the stalactites.

So I took a closer look at the stalactite.

The stalactites get thinner and thinner as they go up, to a place of two meters and five or six meters, and connect with a small section of upside-down stalactites hanging down from the top of the cave, and then quickly thicken up until they merge with the top of the cave.

Therefore, the lower end of the stalactite is completely integrated with the two walls of the cave. However, in a short section where the upper and lower stalactites are connected to each other, two black gaps on the left and right are formed.

And those two gaps are not narrow, if there is another space behind the stalactites, adults like me can climb in and out of these two gaps.

Since the stunner was already in my trouser pocket, I just took the flashlight from my backpack, put it under my feet, and then jumped as hard as I could, climbing the larger gap on the left.

At a glance, there was another cave behind the gap.

It's just that this stalactite just blocks the narrowest part of the cave, so that it feels like the stalactite is the end of the cave.

But I didn't have time to take a closer look at the scenery when suddenly a black shadow jumped from under my face, on the back of the stalactite, and two black claws grabbed my arms holding the stalactite, trying to drag me inside.
