Chapter 92: Mad Woman
It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, holding a firewood knife in his hand, looking hurried, as if there was something urgent.
Soon.
The middle-aged man also seemed to see Ye Feng and the others, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and walked quickly past them. Almost moments later, they disappeared from their sight.
Although everyone was a little curious, they didn't say anything, although the Heavenly Soul Mountain is mysterious and weird, it doesn't mean that it is the place of death, over the years, there are many people in and out of the Heavenly Soul Mountain.
Of course.
It's not a place of death, but it's not much different.
This time, if it weren't for Ye Feng, I'm afraid they might not be able to come out.
"Let's go."
Ye Feng glanced at the Heavenly Soul Mountain in the distance, sighed in his heart, and didn't know when he would be able to see that master, then shook his head, didn't think much about it, and went down the mountain with Xu Yun and Meng Yaofei.
However.
No one noticed the change that Xinyuan had at the end of the moment he saw the middle-aged man, and when he looked back at the middle-aged man's departing back, his face became ugly, as if he was a little pale. Immediately afterwards, his eyes moved to a certain direction, a touch of horror and helplessness flashed in his eyes, his face showed a look of gritting his teeth, clenched his fists, and finally for some reason, he slowly put down his fists, took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions that emerged in his heart, a wry smile crossed the corners of his mouth, shook his head, and followed Ye Feng and the others.
After coming to Shuitang County, Ye Feng and the others casually found a small restaurant and ordered a pot of hot pot and a few side dishes. They hadn't eaten since they went to Heavenly Soul Mountain in the morning, although it didn't matter if they ate or didn't eat in the morning, but the point was that they had walked such a long mountain road, and their stomachs had already begun to protest. So the moment the dish came up, Xu Yun immediately gobbled it up, not caring about his ladylike image at all, while Meng Yaofei and Tong Yuling were much more civilized, but Xinyuan didn't seem to have a good appetite, so he just ate a few bites and put down the dishes and chopsticks, which made Ye Feng quite puzzled.
"What? Got enough so quickly? ”
"Hmm." Xinyuan nodded, his expression a little unnatural.
Looking at Xinyuan, Ye Feng took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and asked casually: "By the way, I once heard you mention that your hometown seems to be near Heavenly Soul Mountain, right?" ”
Hear the words.
Xinyuan's face changed slightly, lowered his head, and hummed softly.
Such a strange appearance made Ye Feng feel very puzzled, a pair of deep and quiet eyes fell on Xinyuan, and said, "In this case, why don't you go back and have a look?" This shouldn't be far from your home, right? ”
"This...."Xinyuan dodged Ye Feng's gaze and said embarrassedly, "I..... I don't want to worry the rest of my family, if my parents knew about the situation at the college, they would definitely let me take a leave of absence. ”
"Yes!"
Ye Feng stared at Xinyuan deadly, I don't know if his eyes were too sharp or other reasons that made Xinyuan feel uncomfortable, as if in front of him, all his hidden secrets were exposed, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, the whole person looked particularly uneasy, and his heart was beating violently.
"Actually, my hometown is also rural, so I can understand their thoughts." Ye Feng retracted his gaze and smiled indifferently. The tension melted in an instant. But Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was afraid of what Ye Feng was asking, so he quickly stood up and said eagerly: "I'll go to the toilet, you eat slowly first." ”
With that, he left his seat and ran towards the toilet.
"Xinyuan, this guy is full so quickly?" Xu Yun drank all the soup in the bowl in one go, and after drinking, he burped, leaned back in the chair, stroked his belly, and showed a satisfied smile on his pretty face.
"Maybe I don't have much appetite."
Ye Feng shook his head and continued to eat hot pot. Tong Yuling, who was on the other side, looked at Xinyuan's back, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Ye Feng, who was eating, frowned slightly, his mouth moved, and he stopped talking for some reason.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
"Hey, what's going on outside, so noisy?" Xu Yun raised his eyelids and looked at the door.
"It's okay, it's just a madman." The waiter who was cleaning on the side heard Xu Yun's words and explained with a smile.
"Crazy? What madman? Xu Yun seemed to be very interested in what he called a madman.
Ye Feng and the others also pricked up their ears.
"It's a crazy woman who lives nearby, because her daughter is missing, which makes her have a little mental problem, and often fantasizes that her daughter is not missing. Every time I saw a girl on the street, I thought it was my daughter, and over time, no one dared to contact her. And as time went by, her head became more and more serious, and even when she saw someone later, she would ask, "Did you kidnap my daughter!" The waiter sighed, glanced outside the door, shook his head, and said pityingly: "Actually, she is quite pitiful, it is said that her daughter divorced when she was very young, and for so many years, she has been dependent on her daughter, but I didn't expect ....."
The waiter didn't continue, just shook his head and sighed.
"How long has her daughter been missing? Don't you call the police? ”
Xu Yun is also a single-parent family, and she clearly knows how difficult it is for a woman to raise a child, and it takes more than just time.
"How can you not call the police, but even if you call the police, it is useless, we have some people missing here every year, and those police have long been commonplace, and even if we report to the police, at most it is just a case."
In fact, such things are not uncommon.
At least Ye Feng knew that this happened in many places, and for those policemen, as long as the matter was not too big, they generally wouldn't pay attention to it.
"It's just too much."
Xu Yun really couldn't imagine how desperate the woman was at that time, but the only police officer who could rely on didn't have the slightest help, which was simply aiding and abetting, no wonder the people are very disappointed in the police now.
"What's the solution?"
"Are all the missing people girls?" Ye Feng said suddenly.
The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, almost every year, girls go missing. ”
"Looks like there's a lot of secrets hidden here." Ye Feng said as if talking to himself. ”
"What did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing, you go get busy." Ye Feng sent the waiter away.
"Ye Feng, we...."
It could be seen that Xu Yun wanted to help that woman.
Ye Feng didn't respond, one hand tapped on the table, and after a while, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the door.
