We had just walked so far that it was already dark before we could get back to the place where we pitched our tents. In the absence of a flashlight, I could only use the faint moonlight blocked by the branches and leaves to find the tree I had marked and returned almost in the dark.

As I approached the place where the tent was pitched, I felt as if something was wrong with the tent.

"It's broken! Something went wrong. I suddenly screamed, and the fat man and Uncle Nine said curiously in unison, "What's wrong?" ”

I pointed in the direction of the tent and said, "There is no fire on the tent side, and there will definitely be a fire in the night camp in the wilderness, this is common sense, it is impossible for Lan Xin and Xiaojing not to understand." So saying, I took the sapper shovel from my waist and ran over.

The fat man didn't say a word after reacting to Uncle Nine, followed closely behind me, and when he returned to the tent, he saw Lan Xin fainting on the edge of one of the tents, but he didn't see Xiao Jing's figure, Uncle Nine ran to wake up Lan Xin when he saw this, and the fat man and I searched every tent, including the perimeter of the tent point, there was no trace of Xiao Jing.

After Lan Xin woke up, she told us that she was knocked unconscious by a sneak attack, and she didn't know that Xiao Jing was there. What the! Lan Xin was attacked by someone, I fought with Lan Xin, her skills are very good, plus she has been in the serious crime team for some years, her vigilance is much higher than that of ordinary people, and it is not so easy to sneak attack her.

Suddenly an eerie and terrifying atmosphere came from the black oppressive forest, and instantly a burst of uneasiness surged into my heart, it was only a day before strange events, I looked at the woods in front of me, my heart was uneasy, I don't know how many unknown dangers are still waiting for us, I feel that this is just the beginning, as if someone deliberately designed to let us step by step into the trap.

I said to the fat man while cleaning up the guy, "Fat man! Hurry up and pack your equipment and go into the forest to find it, Xiao Jing shouldn't have been tied up far. ”

Lan Xin volunteered and asked to go with me and the fat man to find it, because Xiao Jing was missing in her hands, she wanted to do something to compensate for it, Uncle Nine naturally needless to say, he must be with us, although I don't like Uncle Nine very much, but I have to admit that in this dangerous and weird primeval forest, if there is no Uncle Nine, the three of us really don't know how many times we will die.

Uncle Nine asked us to clean up the scene and take everything that could be used, on the grounds that this place has been exposed, there is no need to come back, and after finding Xiaojing, we must leave this valley, this place should not stay for a long time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

We sorted out the equipment, I first used Xiao Jing's backpack, counted the things that could be used, and then set off with a large bag and a small bag, and went to the forest to find Xiao Jing.

Along the way, I kept asking myself, was it right or wrong for me to decide to come to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain? If Xiao Jing disappears from now on and can never be found again, or if something happens to her, then I will feel guilty for the rest of my life, I silently told myself in my heart that I must find Xiao Jing no matter what.

This primeval forest is particularly large, I have been marking the trees I passed along the way, we have gone around in a big circle and there is still no suspicious finding, and the woods are unusually quiet, a bit of a mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of that meaning, I walked to a tree to make a mark, I found that the tree has been marked by me before, it seems that we are back in place.

Seeing this, I said to the people, "Don't go, we're back to square one, we're just going around in circles." ”

Suddenly there was a trace of fatigue on everyone's faces, we had been walking in this woods for almost an hour, and we were indeed tired.

The fat man's second goods shouted at the top of his voice, "Xiao Jing! Xiao Jing! ......" seems to be really in a hurry.

I kicked the fat man in the ass and scolded, "Fatty! What are you shouting about, what should you do if you call something that shouldn't come? The fat man immediately shut his mouth, but the anxiety on his face was unobstructed.

Uncle Nine asked us to rest in place for a while before we set off.

In fact, I'm not anxious, at this moment my mood is similar to the time when I and the fat man went to Gurong Village to save Yanyu, I know that I already care about Xiaojing, which makes me feel a little sorry for Yanyu, but the top priority is to find Xiaojing, and I don't want to think about the rest.

We rested for almost a cigarette and continued to set off, this time we walked in a different direction, walked for a long time, and did not know where we were, when suddenly Lan Xin stopped us, "Look over there." As if they had discovered something, they leaned over to take a look, and saw a black house in the middle of a small valley in front of them, like a small village, and only a few lights were still on in the village.

"How can there be a village in this deep mountain and old forest, will it be an illusion again?" I wanted to ask Uncle Nine, but for the sake of face, I didn't ask by name.

Lanxin's little girl asked knowingly, and deliberately made me ugly and said, "Who are you asking?" ”

Is this little girl uncomfortable if she doesn't raise the bar with me? I countered her, "I didn't ask anyone, Black Widow!" ”

As soon as Lan Xin heard me call her Black Widow, she was furious, "Who are you scolding, Black Widow?" ”

"Who should say whom" I responded casually, and as soon as these words came out, Lanxin was completely angry, "Stinky boy!" Today, Miss Ben will help your father and mother take care of your uneducated stinky mouth. As he spoke, he slapped him, but I dodged it.

Seeing that Lan Xin's little face was flushed, I was a little proud and said, "Don't move your hands and feet, last time I saw that you were a woman, I was afraid that I would really touch the parts that should not be touched, so I let you, don't think that I really can't beat you." ”

"You! ......" Lan Xinqi couldn't even say anything.

Uncle Jiu, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay! You two little enemies, will it be okay to stop? ”

As soon as the fat man on the side heard Uncle Nine's words, he let out a chuckle with a hippie smile, and I asked the fat man, "What are you laughing at?" The fat man said, "I think Uncle Nine is right!" You're really wronged," and then put his arm on my shoulder, smirking evilly and continuing, "Ngawang! Actually, Lanxin, this chick looks good, I think you can just take her in, I can help you think of the lines, demon! Come to the master's arms. ”

I gave him a fat look, which meant to make him shut his stinky mouth.

Lan Xin directly opened his mouth and said angrily, "Fatty, are you looking for a fight?" Then he looked at me with a look of disdain and continued, "I am a monk and a nun, and I will not spoil myself." ”

I'll go! What is this called, I was about to refute when Uncle Nine stopped "Okay!" So far, one person has one less to say. ”

Then answer my question just "That village is not an illusion, it is real, go!" Go ask and see. Uncle Nine said and walked towards the village, and we also marched towards the village after Uncle Nine.

The village is under the slope of this wood, almost a few hundred meters by eye, the village is very old, there are tiled houses at a glance, and even the windows of some houses are still paper-paste, and every house has a pigsty fenced with soil on the side of the tiled house, and the smell of feces comes to the nostrils as soon as you enter the village, which is particularly pungent.

The conditions of the village are very backward, and at a glance you can see that it has been seriously derailed from the times, and the environment of the village is the same as the environment in our hometown when my father did not go to the sea to do business when I was a child. Since China's reform and opening up, many rural areas have changed their old appearance and embarked on the road of moderate prosperity, but there are still some remote mountainous areas that are still the same as in the eighties and nineties of the last century, just like this village now.

We knocked on the door of a random house with no lights out, and after a while, the old door was opened with a "squeak" sound, and I saw that the door was opened by a young man, who looked about the same age as me, the fat man, and Lan Xin, in his early twenties.

The guy has a strong local atmosphere, his slightly elegant face reveals simplicity, the clothes on his body are old, and the workmanship is rough, and he knows that he is a home-made garment.

The young man was obviously on guard, the door was only half open, and he asked with a wary expression, "Who are you and what is the matter?" I quickly replied politely, "Excuse me! Disturbed so late, a friend of ours got lost in the forest in the back mountain, and wanted to inquire with you. ”

As soon as the young man heard about the mountains and forests, his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't know, I don't know" When he said that he was about to close the door, he was grabbed by Lan Xin, "We are the police, we are here to investigate a case of missing persons, please cooperate with the investigation" said and showed his awesome policeman* out.

How did I forget this, this chick Lan Xin is a real policeman, and the young man hurriedly opened all the doors when he saw the police* and invited us in.

The condition of this house is very poor, the equipment is poor, the most conspicuous is the wooden table of eight immortals in the hall, four wooden benches next to the table, only one oil lamp on the table, the lighting effect is particularly poor.

As soon as we entered the door, a middle-aged man walked out of a room on the side of the hall, the man was thin as bones, but his steps were steady, his face was full of vicissitudes left by the years, but his eyes told me that he should be about the same age as Uncle Shangguan, although the middle-aged man seemed to be old, but his eyes and demeanor did not look like a simple farmer.

As soon as the middle-aged man saw us, he questioned the young man who opened the door for us, and after the young man explained to him that we were policemen, the middle-aged man warmly invited us to sit down at the Eight Immortals table, and the middle-aged man introduced his surname Zhang, and it was his son named Ah Niu who had just opened the door for us.

The fat man asked curiously, "Uncle Zhang!" Don't you have an electric light?" Uncle Zhang replied with a little embarrassment, "Yes!" Yes! It's just that the electricity bill is too expensive, and I usually don't want to turn it on, and I only turn on the lights during the New Year" and then hurriedly asked Ah Niu to turn on the lights, I saw that the conditions here were so difficult, and I felt pity and let Uncle Zhang not have to turn on the lights, and I didn't come to be a guest, so I asked a few questions and left.

I opened my mouth and asked Uncle Zhang, "We have a friend who got lost in the woods in the back mountain, and we have been looking for a long time but can't find ......" Uncle Zhang was shocked when he heard the woods in the back mountain, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, although it only flashed in the dim yellow candlelight, but it still made me notice.

I saw that Uncle Zhang's expression was not quite right, so I asked, "Uncle Zhang!" Do you know where our friends are? ”

Uncle Zhang sighed heavily, "It's a forest that can eat people", then took a deep breath of the dry smoke in his hand, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said seriously, "This is said to be a few months ago, our village was relocated from the ancient banyan tree, and when I first moved here, the forest in the back mountain was not terrifying, and the people in the village were hunting in the mountains."

But just a few months ago at noon, my fellow and I went up the mountain to hunt as usual, when we were looking for prey, suddenly a black shadow jumped not far away, and was seen by the fellow who accompanied me, the villager reacted quickly and immediately pulled the trigger, and shot over, just hit the black shadow, we thought we had hit some beast, so we ran over to see, but nothing, only to see a pool of black blood on the dead branches and leaves on the ground.

So we followed the bloodstains, until we reached a small wooden house, the bloodstains were broken, the fellow thought that the beast should have run into the wooden house and proposed to go in to find it, but at this moment the fellow suddenly followed the evil spirit, pointed a gun at me and muttered to me, "What a big boar" and shot at me, fortunately I dodged in advance, and then the fellow slapped everywhere on himself, and kept shouting in his mouth, "A lot of bugs, go away!" Go away! ……”

I saw the fellow slap for a while, and then shot his chin with the shotgun in his hand, that miserable, the whole chest shell exploded, and suddenly the brain mixed with blood sprayed all over the ground, I was dumbfounded, stunned in place for a while, and at this moment I saw a pair of black bright eyes without pupils in a gap in the wall of the wooden house has been staring at me, and let out bursts of dark laughter, but it really scared me a lot, I desperately ran back to the village to call a group of men, back to the wooden house to find out.

When a group of us arrived at the door of the wooden house, the corpse of the villager was gone, and I saw a pool of blood on the ground dragged to the door of the wooden house, and some people in the crowd said that the corpse of the villager should have been dragged into the wooden house, and then a few brave men rushed directly into the wooden house, but no one came out for a long time, but I heard the screams of the men coming from the house, and none of the men who went in came out.

Later, the village chief said that the wooden house was haunted, so he asked the whole village to pool money and invite a Taoist priest to come over, but who knew that the Taoist priest was a magic stick, and after entering the wooden house, he screamed and never came out again" Uncle Zhang stopped here, knocked the pipe on the soles of his feet, cleaned up the cigarette butt in the pipe a little, added some tobacco, lit it, frowned and took a deep breath, and continued, "Hey! You said that now these Taoist priests are all gods, and they can only swagger and deceive, so how can they have any real skills. ”

When Uncle Zhang said this, I secretly glanced at Uncle Jiu, and I couldn't help but want to laugh, I used to think that Uncle Nine was a magic stick, but since I came to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, I began to look at Uncle Jiu with admiration.

Uncle Zhang continued, "Later, as long as someone went up the back mountain, they disappeared, and the people in the village said that they were caught by the monsters in the wooden house and eaten raw, and no one in the village dared to go up the back mountain from then on." ”

After hearing this, Lan Xin stood up excitedly and asked Uncle Zhang, "Why didn't you call the police if there was such a big incident?" ”

Uncle Zhang's dry old lips moved slightly, the cigarette in his mouth took the opportunity to slip out, and he sighed and said, "What's the use, that wooden house will eat people, go to a few and die, as long as you don't go to the back mountain." ”

In fact, I can understand Uncle Zhang's explanation, they have been seriously derailed from society, how can there be any sense of law, the first reaction of a strange thing is definitely not to call the police, but to invite some Taoist priests to open the altar to exorcise demons and demons.

The fat man suddenly bounced up next to me and yelled, "It's over!" Jing must have been caught in the cabin, and I had to save him. With that, he ran straight outside the house.

I immediately got up and strode two or three to catch up, grabbed the fat man and scolded, "Fatty, you can fucking calm down, you go like this, don't say whether you have a life to come back, even whether you can find the wooden house is a problem." ”

Hearing me say this, the fat man didn't run out of the house like crazy, but looked anxious, and asked me without a master, "Then what do you say?" "It seems that the fat man really cares about Xiao Jing, and he is in a hurry to become this bear.

I leaned into the fat man's ear and whispered, "You are stupid, let Uncle Zhang take us there!" ”

After hearing this, the fat man immediately ran to Uncle Zhang's side and begged Uncle Zhang to take us with a pleading tone, Uncle Zhang naturally disagreed, who thinks his life is big? Who doesn't want to live a few more years, although we talk about it, Uncle Zhang still disagrees.

Lan Xin saw that he was out of options, and took out his very awesome policeman* and said to Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Zhang! Now, in my capacity as a police officer, I ask you to assist us in handling the case. ”

Uncle Zhang was forced by us to go up and down, and almost knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and begged us to let him go.

I immediately took out all the cash on my body, just five hundred, and then asked the fat man to take five hundred, a total of one thousand and handed it to Uncle Zhang, saying, "Uncle Zhang!" It's not that we want to force you, but our friend is in danger now, wait for us to save it, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, please. ”

I thought to myself, although a thousand yuan is not much in the current city, it is not too little, not to mention that in this poor and remote ravine, although I can't marry a wife and go home, it should be enough for Uncle Zhang and them to eat for half a year.

Uncle Zhang finally compromised under our coercion and temptation, he looked at the money in his hands, and then at his son Ah Niu, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, "Okay! For my son's sake, I'll take you there. ”
