Fortunately, because of the snow and the freezing weather, there are relatively remote people in the mountains here, not to mention the people in the city, even the villagers in the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain have few people going up the mountain.

After all, the mountains are not as good as the city, so the muddy mountain road accumulates a thin layer of snow, covering the traces of the original carriage wheels, but fortunately, the snow stopped after a while, and the wheel traces can still be seen clearly.

The group followed Gu Li, and Gu Li followed the wheel tracks, all the way to the deep mountains.

As Zhang Jiusheng walked, he sighed in his heart, this mountain is so deep, I don't know how cold it will be compared to the outside, I don't know how Yunsheng survived.

Suddenly, Gu Li stopped.

He jumped off the horse, walked in front, looked for a place with his head bowed, reached out and touched the slightly raised pile of mud, pinched a little more and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, clapped his hands and stood up.

Zhang Jiusheng also jumped off the horse, followed over and gasped and asked, "What?" ”

Gu Li exhaled a breath of heat, rubbed his palms, and said, "All dismount, we unfortunately went in, leaving two people outside to watch the horses." ”

Zhang Jiusheng was only stunned, although he didn't know what Gu Li meant, but it was always right to listen to him, so he waved his hand to the back, Guan Chu stepped forward, and immediately arranged it after listening to the order.

Leaving the two catchers and their dozen horses to stay in place, the rest of the people followed Gu Li and continued to enter the deep mountains, not to mention Zhang Jiusheng, even Guan Chu had not walked into the mountains at such a cold time, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak.

But thinking about it, it was Gu Li who led the team, and the experience of going south and north must be much richer than himself, but he was worried about Zhang Jiusheng's safety, so he didn't say anything and followed Zhang Jiusheng, and he had to protect him anytime and anywhere.

After walking for almost half a cup of tea, it was difficult for the group to get out of the city, and it was difficult to move forward on this muddy mountain road that was frozen hard by the cold, Zhang Jiusheng was sweating in a hot sweat, and the hot breath exhaled from his mouth condensed into water droplets on his face when he touched the cold wind, and Zhang Jiusheng shivered again.

But thinking about Yunsheng in his heart, even if he stumbled on his feet, he still followed Gu Li step by step.

What he didn't know was that Yun Sheng was hanging in the water prison in a drowsy state at this time.

"Do you have to keep going inside?" When Gu Li stopped, Zhang Tong leaned on a tree, took a sip of hot water and asked.

Gu Li didn't answer, stood in front, put his hands on his waist, and suddenly tore off a leaf from the low branch on the side, and threw it into the air, only to see that the leaf went up to the sky, and then swayed to a place.

Zhang Tong was puzzled, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Is there no way? ”

Gu Li shook his head, gently tore off the black cloth covering his face, exhaled a large piece of white gas, and said, "The carriage mark is gone here." ”

He didn't say anything further, but Zhang Tong almost understood.

There is still a long way ahead, but the carriage marks are gone, either people get out of the carriage and go further inside, or they go to the sky like the leaves, but how can people go to the sky?

"Got off?" Zhang Tong asked again.

"Get off the bus is to get off, but there are no footprints on the road inside, the footprints are left here, very shallow, if we come a few days late, we can't even see the footprints."

"What then? I finally found this, but I couldn't go back the way I came. Zhang Tong lowered his voice and said, looking back at Zhang Jiusheng who was looking at this side: "A lot of time has passed, if I can't find Yunsheng again, I estimate that the adults won't last long." ”

Gu Li followed and glanced back at Zhang Jiusheng, who immediately twisted his head away, his movements awkward and stiff.

This thing is really not easy to do, if it is a child of an ordinary people's family, this burden will not be able to be lifted on his shoulders, Gu Li scratched his head, and he was even more disturbed.

The footprints did indeed disappear in this place, and the footprints that Gu Li found were actually only half of them, and it was good to be able to find them, but he still didn't dare to confirm whether they were Yunsheng's footprints or ...... Someone else's.

In any case, going deep into the mountains in this winter, he is definitely not a normal person, so let's find it first.

The group all had the intention of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and at Gu Li's request, they went in groups of two and scattered in all directions.

Gu Li was still standing in place, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, scanning around, Zhang Jiusheng stood still from afar, looking at it, he always felt that Gu Li still had something to hide from him, as for what it was, he didn't know, so he had to stare at it.

I don't know how long it took, but those who went came back and found nothing.

Gu Li said: "Let's rest first, drink some hot water, warm our bodies, and then rub our feet, we have to stay here for a while." ”

As he said this, everyone crowded into one place, and some of them were thinking about whether to build a fire, which was no better than outside, and as soon as the wind blew, a group of five big and three thick men were shivering from the cold.

Suddenly, Gu Li suddenly moved and walked straight towards a bush.

I didn't look closely, but now that I got closer, I realized that there was a path behind the bushes.

If it weren't for the wind blowing, I'm afraid Gu Li wouldn't have seen it.

Zhang Jiusheng saw that Gu Li moved, and he also moved, leaned behind Gu Li, looked over his shoulder, and saw the path that was quite hidden.

"Where does this lead?" Zhang Jiusheng asked.

It's really hard to say, Gu Li has never been to this mountain, there are too many roads in the mountain, and many mountain people who relied on the mountains to eat the mountains in the past would cut a road by themselves even if they didn't have a road, if they said where this road would go, outsiders really couldn't say.

Therefore, he did not speak, and drew the dagger hidden in his boot.

Zhang Tong also noticed this, whispered a few words to Guan Chu, and followed himself.

It was still Gu Li who took the lead, but this time, Zhang Jiusheng followed behind, and there were no clues along the way, and it was not easy to find this trail, he didn't want to miss any possible clues.

After that trail, how long did it take, and when the feet of a few people were numb, the eyes suddenly opened up.

They found that they were standing on a cliff, which was exactly halfway up a mountain, and as far as the eye could see, there was a small mountain village below, and from this position they were almost the whole mountain village.

The mountain village is very small, with about a dozen families.

Gu Li was shocked for a moment, then found a path close to the mountain wall behind him, and said hello, and the group went down cautiously.

When they really fell into the mountain village, they found that there was no one in this village.

But looking at the stacks of straw piled up in the fields, it was clear to them that there were indeed people living here.

"It's a little strange in this village."

Zhang Tong frowned, there was a feeling of intruding into the land of ghosts and gods for no reason, and he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, he wanted to pull Gu Li to say again, but when he turned around, he saw that Gu Li had already gone down the path to the mountain village.

The group followed one by one and walked on the ridge.

Now it is winter, only those withered and yellow rice stalks are left in the fields, there are some houses not far away, the yard is quiet, there is not even the most normal children's laughter, and everyone is worried for a while.

Pushing open the fence door of one of the farmhouses and standing at the door of the house, Gu Li pushed it casually and entered the house, and some of the people behind him either rushed in or checked around the yard.

Gu Li stood in the room, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the table casually, it was clean.

"It looks like it's inhabited, but it doesn't look like it's inhabited, and this village is so strange." Zhang Tong muttered and walked in.

Gu Li said: "No one lives, but people often come to clean it. ”

"Huh?" Guan Chu was dumbfounded, and he didn't understand it all of a sudden.

If this matter is put on people who have lost their families, it is understandable, they see things and think about people, so they move out of the house to find another place to live, but they are reluctant to live in the original house, so they hire someone to clean it regularly.

But this is a mountain village!

"Incredible." Zhang Tong picked up the clean teacup on the table and shook his head.

Then, Tiewan trotted in from outside the house and said, "The brothers have checked all this place, and there is no one in the village, but there is one room that is a little strange. ”

"Which one? Take me to see it. Gu Li turned around and said.

Following Tie Wan, everyone arrived at the strange room, in fact, that room was not much different from the others, except that there were some tea cup fragments in some corners of this room, probably left behind by not being cleaned.

Gu Li squatted in the corner of the wall, twisting those ceramic scraps with his fingertips, not knowing what he was thinking.

He licked his lips and walked to the bed again, the people in this room had been gone for a long time, and they were no longer popular, but he still put his hand into the futon, and his palm was spread out and closed in the heavy futon, he leaned down and sniffed it in front of the futon, and knew it in his heart.

This is the only house in this village, which has always been occupied.

It's just that I don't know who it is.

I don't know where I went, or where I was taken.

"Did you find anything?" Zhang Tong came over and asked.

Gu Li glanced at him and said, "You are a fool, it stands to reason that your eyesight should be comparable to mine, come back and ask me?" ”

"If you don't say it, you won't say it." Zhang Tong rolled his eyes and went to find him.

Everyone was busy, hoping to find something in this mountain village, even Zhang Jiusheng rummaged around, only Guan Chu was stunned in this room, he seemed to feel something familiar, but he stretched out his hand but didn't grab anything, his five fingers spread in the air, and he shook it in vain.

Zhang Tong came back from Gu Li's nose, passed by Guan Chu, who was at a loss, frowned, stabbed Guan Chu with his elbow, and asked, "Guan Zhutou, what's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”

Zhang Jiusheng also looked over when he heard this.

Guan Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "I think...... My dad seems to have been here. ”

As soon as he heard this, even Gu Li looked over.

Father and son are connected, and no one doubts Guan Chu's intuition at this moment.

Along the way, Guan Chu has been staying by Zhang Jiusheng's side, and he has just passed through so many rooms, only when he arrives in this one, he has this feeling, it is not sudden.

But in the end, there is no evidence, and Guan Chu's words alone are not enough to convince them.

"If your dad really lived here, then he would definitely leave something behind that only you can see, you can find it." Gu Li said.
