Xu Tian returned to the hotel and did not find Fang Lu, and Sitong and Fang Zhen were not there, Xu Tian called Fang Lu, but no one answered. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

called Sitong again, although Sitong answered the phone, but the water on the other side of the phone was very loud, so loud that it almost drowned out Sitong's voice.

"Where are you? Is Fang Lu with you? ”

"Fang Zhen and I are at the waterfall, but Fang Lu is gone."

"What are you doing there? Why not stay at the hotel honestly? ”

"I don't know what's going on, Fang Lu answered a phone call after you left, and then he was going to take me and Fang Zhen to the waterfall, but there are a lot of tourists here, Fang Lu doesn't know where to go."

"Don't move, I'll be right over."

The hotel was ten minutes away from the waterfall, and Xu Tian trotted all the way to the edge of the waterfall and saw Sitong and Fang Zhen anxiously pacing in place.

"What's going on? When did Fang Lu disappear? Xu Tian asked.

"About five minutes before you called me, I was just about to call you to let you know, and you called first."

"Didn't Fang Lu say what he brought you to this kind of place for?"

"No, Fang Lu looked very anxious, trotted all the way to this side, Fang Zhen and I couldn't catch up at all, when I first arrived here, I also saw Fang Lu looking around in the crowd, but after a while, Fang Lu was gone."

Xu Tian felt that this matter could not be hidden, but the police would not file a case for investigation if he lost contact for less than 24 hours, and now all Xu Tian could think of was to quickly ask Fang Zhen to notify his family.

The villagers who heard the news were very nervous, thinking that Fang Lu was an important person in tomorrow's ceremony, and if Fang Lu could not attend tomorrow's ceremony in time, the villagers would think that the village would not be peaceful in the next year.

An hour later, almost the entire village went out to look for Fang Lu, and through investigation, no trace of Fang Lu was found on the way out of the village, and the tourists who were at the edge of the waterfall at that time did not see anyone make strange moves.

Uncle Fang's whole person was not good, sitting on the edge of the waterfall with anxiety on his face, and that kind of helpless look made Xu Tian feel very heartbroken.

"Uncle Fang, where do you think Fang Lu might go?" Xu Tian asked.

"I don't know, this kid hasn't been back for a long time, and I don't know who she's going to have a holiday with in the village."

"Do you mean that Fang Lu may have been kidnapped?"

"It's possible, because I know that there are some people who don't want tomorrow's ritual to be done, and it may be those people who do it."

"Can you tell me more about it? Who could do such a thing to Fang Lu? ”

"Originally, I couldn't say this kind of thing, let alone outsiders, but I know your identity, Fang Lu told me, this time you are here to protect Fang Lu, right?"

"I'm sorry I didn't do my part."

"I can't blame you entirely, no one expected Fang Lu to disappear during the day, you have been protecting Fang Lu last night, I know it."

"What else is going on in the village that hasn't been announced?"

"Actually, there were not twenty-eight people who were killed by teenagers twenty years ago."

"It's twenty, right?"

"Yes!" Uncle Fang looked surprised. "The other eight people were seriously injured, and the villagers thought that they should kill them together, but the young village chief did not agree to do so, and finally the village chief gave everything to the police, and agreed to allow the eight survivors to leave the village."

"So that's the case, the secret of the village must have been passed on by those eight people, right?"

"There could be no one but them, and since then there have been a lot of people coming to the village almost every year, and the outsiders have been digging around the village despite the obstructions, and even the police can't control them. Sometimes dozens of them come in droves, the craziest one was in 2003, when more than 1,000 people poured into the village at the same time, and then the village chief decided to attract investment and build tourist attractions in the village, so that the village would be protected by the law, and anyone who dared to mess with and destroy it again would definitely be punished by the law. This method is very useful for those outsiders, although there are still people who sneak to the mountains to find the grave of the ghost woman, but it is really much better than before, at least the security problem of the village has been solved, and all the villagers have been brought to prosperity. ”

"What do you think Fang Lu's disappearance has to do with this time?"

"It should be the eight people who were exiled back then who want to come back and wreak havoc."

"What do you mean by that?"

"In fact, a few days ago, the village chief received an anonymous letter, when the village chief called all the older villagers together and read the letter to everyone in public."

Xu Tian had already guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, but he still continued to listen to Uncle Fang.

"The content of the letter is to say that there will be an accident at the ghost woman marriage ceremony tomorrow, and also warn everyone to guard all areas of the scenic spot, and the most important thing is that the villagers must protect the bride."

"It sounds like a warning that something is going to happen, not a threat!"

"On the surface, it looks like this, but it's actually a vague threatening letter, because if it's too conspicuous, for example, if you write the threatening words directly in a blunt tone, then we can apply for police protection. But if you write it to us in the form of a reminder, it looks like a reminder to be careful, and such a letter is not a threat, so the person who wrote the letter is very smart. ”

"I understand, you also know the letter Fang Lu received, right?"

"That's right, Fang Lu's letter is actually a threatening letter, and I suspect that the person who wrote the letter kidnapped Fang Lu."

"But you obviously know that Fang Lu is in danger, why do you want Fang Lu to come back?"

"Fang Lu is the bride chosen by the villagers, if Fang Lu doesn't come back, our family won't be able to gain a foothold in the village, I know that Fang Lu will be in danger, so I arranged Fang Zhen to be by Fang Lu's side. However, I still don't feel at ease, so I stayed in the hotel myself last night, I didn't sleep all night, and when I got up in the morning and saw you outside, I was relieved to leave. ”

"So that's the case, it's really hard for you, although Fang Lu has disappeared, but I think Fang Lu should still be in the scenic area, the road on the side of this waterfall is not very wide, if Fang Lu leaves the waterfall, someone should see it."

"By the way, listening to you say this, it seems that this kind of thing has happened before, just a year ago, the day before the ceremony, Shanshan, who was supposed to be the bride, also disappeared on the edge of the waterfall, but two days later Shanshan was found hanging in the temple where the god of blessing was received, this incident will not happen again, right?"

Hearing Uncle Fang say this, Xu Tian immediately became nervous.
