I didn't speak to my second uncle along the way, he didn't know what I was thinking, and I didn't bother to explain it to him, but now the matter in front of us still has to be investigated as soon as possible, after all, we can't sit idly by and ignore Lu Xing's accident.

There was only one road up the mountain, and we walked along the river of the village, walked up the bridge, and saw the silhouettes of the mountains and the plants growing upwards on the left and right under the light of the torches.

"Don't run around at night." The second uncle couldn't help but explain to me.

I ignored him, my mind was still messy, but I still had lingering palpitations from what I had just said.

The man's intuition tells me that what Wu Ming, the man is looking for, is definitely not ordinary, and ······ And the disappearance of grandpa back then was definitely not an accident. So if there is still a secret to Grandpa's disappearance, it may be a foreshadowing of Dad's disappearance, but to this day I still don't know anything about the elders, even if the second uncle and the younger uncle told me so much about the things of the past.

Wait······ and that's when a terrible thought came to me: "Are they really right?" ”

Walking on the rugged mountain road, I looked at the second uncle, and the thoughts in my heart became more and more real, it must be that he and the uncle did not tell me all the things about my grandfather completely.

"What do you see, you little rabbit, you are pretending to be a god every day. Don't run around next time. Where did you get that backpack? ”

I didn't know what to say for a while, and after thinking for a long time, I said, "It was left to me by Lu Xing." ”

The second uncle didn't say anything after he looked at me, and he also knew that according to this kind of questioning, I wouldn't say anything if I was killed.

More and more people came out of the village, and they formed a long dragon with torches. After a while, some familiar figures appeared in sight, Shamashyi and his family and friends.

I walked up and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Shamash spoke a jerky Mandarin: "Mountain······ Haunted ······ Person. ”

"Haunted?" I was stunned for a moment, didn't I say that there was such a nun before?

"It's a stone figurine! There are many ghost-faced stone figurines on the mountain. "A man who had dinner with him in the evening came over, and I recognized him, he was a classmate of Shamashyi's named Jizier.

Jizier greeted me and said, "Why are you also up the mountain?" ”

The second uncle sighed: "Isn't this that Officer Lu also didn't come down above!" ”

"Oh! That's trouble! Jizier shook his head: "It's not a good sign that something like this is on the mountain. ”

The crowd walked all the way up the mountain, the sky in the mountain was not polluted by industry, a moonlit night hung in the air like frost, the twilight sloped down to clothe the mountain forest with a white coat, and the torches were lit in the brazier at the head of the village, and the winding path went all the way to the mountain.

This piece of mountain forest, all primitive tree species, so there is no road at all, the beginning of the journey we walked mostly the villagers into the mountain when stepping out, but in the end there is no place to stay, the dense forest that covers the sky has completely blocked the moonlight curtain at this time, I hold the big tree with one hand, and the other hand holds the torch handed to me and my second uncle by Jizier, walking in the dense grass. At this time, a Yi uncle next to the second uncle said that because there had been a heavy rain before, the road here was a little difficult to walk, but it would be changed later.

"Reroute?" I asked with a frown as I walked cautiously.

However, before I could finish my sentence, I noticed that the long line of lights in front of me had changed direction, and when I walked past with the troops, I saw that in front of me was a large wetland, where the land and water converged, the water level was close to the surface, the green duckweed flickered and flowed under the shadow of the lamp, and the ripples on the water surface rose slightly with the movement of people. In the darkness in the distance, the roots of the trees were like giants that had stood there for thousands of years, watching us come one after another.

Avoiding the wetland, I followed them on the slope of the earth wall waist slowly, the environment here due to the influence of the wetland, part of the surrounding land has a slight sinking trend to the middle, but fortunately there are more trees here, and the vegetation is lush I will not slide down, but because of the dark, there are still people in front of us to remind us, let us watch carefully under our feet.

The mountain road at night was very difficult to walk, and it didn't take long for me to start regretting why I came with me, in fact, I thought that it was a good idea to come during the day! You must know that I will never die in this kind of place after rain, the soil in the woods has not been exposed to the sun for a long time, and it is difficult to dry up after the rain, especially in such a primeval forest with the shade of trees.

The temperature in the mountains was very low at night, so we all walked very fast to keep our body warm, and after a short distance I saw a clearing in front of me, and a lot of people gathered there.

My second uncle and I walked over briskly and saw those Yi people surrounding a humanoid stone figurine at this time. The stone figurines are cyan, the appearance of ancient samurai, although they are wearing armor, but most of them are empty-handed, only a few are holding swords and swords, but even so, the shape of those pragmatic stone figurines is still very weird, but not to mention the face, just the slender limbs like insects are disgusting.

Because it is a sitting position, the tentacle-like limbs are crossed and wrapped around the chest, presenting a very strange posture of prayer. Above his chest is a spindle-shaped neck, and on his neck is a head looking up at the sky.

And on the other hand, look at the head of the stone figurine, with its hair tied in a bun, wearing a turban, and its face, the nose and mouth on its face are all made into a simple shape with a profound technique, and the eyes are so large that no matter how you look at it, it looks like a worm all the time. And those eyes, the middle was smeared with a patch of black, and there was no whites or even eyeballs.

My scalp tingled, and I suddenly thought of the black-eyed kid I had seen in the fog.

"Wow!" At this time, there was a noise in the crowd, and my second uncle and I thought we had found something and hurriedly ran over.

When I looked closely, it turned out that someone had noticed another humanoid stone figurine in the soil at this time, which was slowly growing out of the soil, yes, like bamboo shoots in spring. It grows out of the dirt, rising little by little, revealing inch by inch in our view.

As it was fully exposed to our view, I realized that it was also a stone figurine with worm-like limbs, no eyeballs and no whites of the eyes.

"How can anyone be like a bug?" I frowned and glanced at my second uncle.

Shamashyi had been with us all the time, and he listened to my question, and said intermittently, "Ghost······ The ghost is here to bring ······ The person is gone. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Many years ago, there was an inexplicable appearance of this kind of stone figurines in the mountains, and that time, a group of people disappeared into the mountains." It was Asuke who spoke, and at some point he came up to me and said, "I think it was 1945, and it was a full moon night, and it rained in the mountains, and then these stone figurines appeared. The next day, more than 20 Japanese soldiers came to the entrance of the village, and they captured 5 people in the village and entered the mountain. Those people never returned, and finally disappeared completely into the mountains, just like the stone figurines. ”

"Really? In 1945? How old were you then? I gave Asuke a blank look.

"It's true." At this time, the second uncle spoke, "That incident was also a sensation, that is, the ghost Tibetan incident in the mountains of Guizhou in 1945. It is said that in a deep mountain in Guizhou, there were twenty-eight grimace stone figurines overnight, and the local people said that these stone figurines are the "Yin soldiers" from the underworld, and they will turn into gods in the middle of the night to walk the world, and after hearing the rooster's crow, they will turn into stone figurines. But what era was it at that time, no one believed this, and then the next day, more than 10 PLA soldiers and a few experts went into the mountain to investigate the cause, but none of them came back, and there were only 15 stone figurines left. ”

"Fifteen? Aren't there 28 of them? ”

"The 13 that were lost are just the right number of people who went missing on the mountain."
