introduction

One summer night, with no moon and stars dotting the night sky.

In the silent mountains, a group of villagers are shouting with flashlights.

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao."

A white-haired old woman looked nervous and said, "I said that there is danger in the mountains, why is this child disobedient?" It's been hours, and it's been a hell of a rush! ”

An old man comforted: "It's okay, Xiao Tao, he's fine, it's okay." But there was some confidence in his voice.

The old grandmother said worriedly: "The night will be deeper after a while, and I can't find Xiao Tao anymore, I'm afraid that he will be in danger." After all, it's so close to that damn place......"

At this time, a villager ran over in a panic and shouted: "Oh no, no! Got it! ”

The old grandmother scolded: "It's not good to say anything when you find it, you stinky mouth." ”

The person who came looked flustered, "Village Chief, you ...... You...... Check it out! ”

A panic rose in the old woman's heart, and she hurriedly asked him to lead the way.

The group was taken to a cliff. There are traces of people stepping on the grass, all the way to the edge of the cliff. A black backpack hung from a pine tree on the edge of the cliff, and some of the branches showed very new signs of breaking.

The old grandmother saw this scene and exclaimed: "Could it be ......"

Suddenly, there was a strong gust of wind, and the dust kicked up made it impossible to open your eyes. The crowd was blown to the point that they could not stand, so they had to sit on the ground.

When everyone closed their eyes, the corners of the old grandmother's mouth suddenly showed a subtle smile.

After Jiang Tian solved Pang Zhenjun's case, he became very famous in the whole school, and there were people pointing at him everywhere he passed, and there were many discussions.

On this day, as soon as Jiang Tian entered the classroom, a reporter greeted him, "Hello Jiang Tian, I am a reporter from Shenyang Entertainment Daily, and I came this time to interview you about the murder case of R Middle School." ”

Jiang Tian frowned and said, "Hello, I don't know how you got in, and I don't know why you don't care more about the country and people's livelihood, but you hold on to a dead man's secret." Isn't it boring and shameful to investigate the privacy of this and that all day long? ”

After the reporter was stunned for a moment, he began to retort: "This is news, we have our journalistic ideals, and we have the obligation to bring the truth to the people......

"Obligation? Who gives the obligation? Seamless like a fly, to dig deep into some secrets that the parties do not want to mention, and then give them to the people as a ridiculous conversation after dinner? Jiang Tian smiled sarcastically.

For some reason, Jiang Tian didn't have much affection for these entertainment reporters.

I hate their hypocrisy, perhaps.

"You ......"

Seeing what else this reporter wanted to say, Jiang Tian impatiently pushed the other party and said, "Get out!" ”

After blasting away the reporters, Jiang Tian glanced at the two positions of Qi Lan and Pang Zhenjun, and couldn't help but sigh.

The books of the two were neatly placed on the table, maintaining the appearance of the two before the accident. Their families are now running around arguing and have no time to clean up.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Tian walked towards Pang Zhenjun's position.

Pang Zhenjun's competition book was still spread out on the table, the pen slipped aside, Jiang Tian walked over, put the pen on the inside page of the book, and closed the book.

"Lao Pang, if you don't have this kind of thing, you, a scholar, maybe you will become a big scientist in the future! It's a pity ......"

"Hey, Jiang Tian, what are you doing in a daze!" Suddenly, someone patted Jiang Tian on the back, Jiang Tian was startled, and turned around to find that it was Geng Yan and Ni Gang.

Geng Yan glanced at Pang Zhenjun's seat, then looked at Qi Lan's seat, and said helplessly, "After a while, Pang Zhenjun and Xiao Lan's parents should bring their things back." ”

Jiang Tian nodded.

"By the way, we have an event for the weekend, are you coming?" Ni Gang asked Jiang Tian.

"What activity?"

"Camping in the wild," Zhou Hao suddenly leaned over and said mysteriously, "Location, ghost village!" ”

……

The ghost village in Zhou Hao's mouth is located in a mountainous area in the west of H City. Although it is located in the mountains, it was once a famous village. However, that was more than 20 years ago.

More than 20 years ago, this village was not called a ghost village, but had a beautiful name: Rose Village. As the name suggests, roses are abundant here. The village has plenty of sunshine all year round, but the temperature can be kept at 15 to 25 degrees Celsius, which makes for a very good environment for growing roses. Thanks to this unique environment, the roses here are of excellent quality and can be used as excellent Chinese medicinal materials, which are in short supply for a while. As a result, the village has also become famous throughout the province.

"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, more than 20 years ago, a sudden plague swept through the entire Gem Village, forming a fatal impact on the Gem Village. After the epidemic, less than 100 people of nearly 1,000 people in the village survived, so the village gradually fell into ruins......"

"And then?" Geng Yan's question interrupted Ni Gang's narration.

Ni Gang touched Geng Yan's head helplessly, "Xiao Yan, don't interrupt and ask like this when I talk in the future." ”

Geng Yan snorted and opened Ni Gang's hand, "Who told you to stop talking and stop talking!" Also, don't keep touching me, stinky man! ”

With that, Geng Yan twisted her head to the side.

Everyone in the car burst into laughter.

At this moment, Jiang Tian, Ni Gang, Zhou Hao, Geng Yan and Chen Jiao were sitting in a van driving on a rugged mountain road, driven by an uncle with a straight face, who had not spoken along the way.

Ni Gang smiled bitterly and continued: "But the abandonment of the village is not the reason why Gem Village has become a ghost village. And the reason why Gem Village has become what we call a ghost village is due to the mysterious death of a young man named Zhang Tao two years ago. ”

Speaking of this, Ni Gang secretly looked at Geng Yan and found that she was also cautiously coming over to listen. So Ni Gang was overjoyed, and naturally grabbed Geng Yan's hand and said, "Two years ago, a young man named Zhang Tao came to Rosewood to play. Although the people of Rosewood Village have been nesting here for more than 20 years and have not gone out much, they are still very hospitable, so they took him to the village chief's house to entertain him. But after dinner, Zhang Tao disappeared mysteriously. The villagers collectively went out to search for a long time before they found Zhang Tao's backpack on the edge of a cliff, and under the cliff was a valley. At that time, the villagers thought that he had fallen down, so they hurried down the mountain to the mouth of the valley, but saw a terrifying scene. A man's body was broken in two, the upper half of his body was gone, and the lower half of his body was lying at the mouth of the valley, still being torn apart by some wild beast, and there was almost no flesh left. In addition, the word 'death' is written in blood on the stone wall of Taniguchi. Later, the police confirmed that this was Zhang Tao's body after DNA identification......"

Hearing this, Geng Yan screamed in fright and plunged into Ni Gang's arms, while the faces of the others also had varying degrees of panic. However, Jiang Tian noticed that Chen Jiao frowned when she saw Geng Yan hugging Ni Gang.

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "I said that you two weren't making trouble just now, and you reconciled so soon?" Show affection also has to take into account me and Jiang Tian, the two hot single hot dogs! Isn't it, Chen Jiao? ”

"Huh?" Chen Jiao was a little overwhelmed by Zhou Hao's sudden question.

Jiang Tian glanced at Zhou Hao, but then rushed to the driver and asked with a smile: "By the way, uncle, are you single?" ”

The driver's uncle also gave Jiang Tian a roll of his eyes directly in the rearview mirror of the car.

Geng Yan blushed and let go of Ni Gang, but was hugged tighter by Ni Gang all of a sudden, Jiang Tian secretly looked at Chen Jiao, and found that Chen Jiao's expression was a little unnatural, and he kept looking at his feet.

"I see." Jiang Tian thought to himself.

Jiang Tian pretended to cough a few times and said, "Write the word 'death' on the stone wall, hehe, it can't be artificial, right?" ”

Ni Gang said: "I checked the information and found the place where Zhang Tao's body was found is called the Ghost Valley in the mouth of the villagers. Legend has it that ghosts and spirits live inside, so the villagers have been afraid to enter. Two years ago, the police did not believe that the incident was committed by ghosts and gods, so they sent a large team of people into the valley to search carefully, but did not find the upper body of Zhang Tao. However, many policemen were bitten by poisonous snakes, and they also encountered wolves, and several of them almost died in the belly of wolves. Later, the police caught a wolf and found incomplete meat foam in its belly, which was confirmed to be Zhang Tao's. ”

"After the news spread, many people began to call Rosewood a ghost village. After Zhang Tao's death, some bold and curious people entered the Ghost Valley to explore. Some were fine, while others were dead, their bodies mutilated, and the lower half of their bodies were found at the mouth of the valley. ”

Jiang Tian said: "It's strange, why are some people okay while others are dead? Moreover, the dead are only the lower half of their bodies? ”

"I don't know, some people say that ghosts and gods also pick people to kill people. But only half of the body remains, and no one has been able to figure it out so far. ”

"Huh." Jiang Tian sneered, "In this way, I kind of want to go to that ghost valley and see what the hell is going on!" ”

The driver glanced at Jiang Tian again through the rearview mirror, but this time he didn't roll his eyes, but with a slight meaning.

"Forget it, Jiang Tian, in case the ghosts and gods choose you, right? Haha, there is only one life, and live and cherish it! Ni Gang said with a smile.

Zhou Hao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, couldn't hold back for a long time, and began to tell everyone about the whole process of the event: "First park the car at the village chief's house, and then go find a flat place to set up a tent. Barbecue at noon, go to the mountains to play in the afternoon, go back to the camp to eat in the evening, as for what time to sleep at night, it all depends on the mood, and I heard other campers say that the night view here is also quite beautiful...... Ouch! ”

Suddenly, the car slammed into a moment, and before Zhou Hao finished speaking, he was thrown to the front and smashed on the seat in front of him, and the rest of the people were the same.

"I'll go!" Zhou Hao covered his head and scolded, "Uncle, how did you drive?" ”

There was no answer.

Everyone felt strange and looked at the driver, only to see the driver staring blankly at the front of the car. Everyone looked at the driver's gaze and couldn't help but gasp.

There was a black cat in front of the car, staring at the people in the car with unusually cold eyes. In the distance, the ghost village was hidden in a thick fog, revealing only a few outlines, and it seemed to be still asleep. And this black cat is like its guardian, guarding the peace of the ghost village.

"Meow-" The black cat barked, glanced coldly at the crowd, and then slowly turned away until it was hidden in the fog and disappeared.
