"Anyway, you send this person for treatment first, we can't watch him die, and then Lao Gao will take us to that intersection." Xu Tian said.

"This ...... All right! That's what Lao Ma told me just now, but there is definitely no hope for this person's life. Lao Gao said.

Under Lao Gao's explanation, the villagers carried the dying man away.

Although Lao Gao's face was a little reluctant, he also led Xu Tian and Teacher Jin to the intersection where the accident occurred.

The intersection was in the innermost part of the village, like a path leading into the dense forest, but it was winter, and the surrounding trees were already dead.

"Is there anything special about this road? Why do I feel no different from a normal path? Xu Tian asked.

"This road is really nothing special, but the end of this road is a little special, there is a dead man's grave in the depths of this dense forest, which is said to be some outsiders buried before liberation." Lao Gao said.

"Do you know the identities of these outsiders?" Xu Tian asked.

"I don't know, I heard that the burial is the family of a large family, there are more than 200 people! According to the older generation, those people died of cholera, so the bodies were all gathered and buried here. Lao Gao said.

"More than two hundred people...... It was almost enough for a squadron of the enemy of that period. Teacher Jin said.

"I heard that Commander Fang fled with his soldiers, will this matter have something to do with Commander Fang?" Xu Tian asked.

"I know what you're talking about, Commander Fang." Lao Gao said. "But the people buried here are not Commander Fang's soldiers."

"Were there any other soldiers who landed on the island before liberation?" Xu Tian asked.

"It's useless for you to ask me about this, people of our generation haven't heard much about it since they were born, I remember when I was a child, adults didn't let children come here to play, even this intersection didn't allow them to come, but occasionally a few disobedient children came here to play, but those children fell ill within a few days, and even fell down on the spot, just like the person just now." Lao Gao said.

"You're also an unbeliever, aren't you?" Teacher Jin asked Lao Gao.

The old man smiled shyly, already signaling that he himself had come here secretly.

"Where did that guy fall?" Xu Tian asked.

"I don't know where he fell, but the place where he was found was about thirty meters ahead." Lao Gao said.

"The first thirty meters almost turned a corner, and the man walked into this intersection, and you went in too." Xu Tian said.

"I went to chop wood, and at this time, there are already many people in the village who do not believe in evil, and our firewood is basically cut here, and the grave of the dead has to walk about four kilometers to get there! As long as you don't go too far, it's fine. Lao Gao said.

"Show us where the man fell." Xu Tian said.

The three of them walked forward for a while, and the ground was full of traces of being trampled by the villagers, and the footprints were no longer distinguishable, but the place where the person fell was still preserved, and from the traces, the person fell in the snow on the side of the road, and two or three people walked over and helped the person up.

"Was there anyone else who found that person at that time?" Xu Tian asked.

"Of course, I don't dare to come here to chop wood by myself, we all go together." Lao Gao said.

"Is there a fixed time for chopping wood? Or do you want to come whenever you want? Xu Tian asked.

"I guess there's a fixed time! Generally, it is almost late evening to cut some at this time, because it is too conspicuous during the day, and it is easy to be seen by the older generation in the village, and the older generation does not want the villagers to come here until now, but it is too panicked at night, so we generally come to this time in the evening, and the older generation can't see us coming to chop wood, and they don't have to touch the dark to come here. Lao Gao said.

"There are a lot of footprints on this village road, and it has been stepped out of a path, and I can't tell who the murderer is from the traces, so it's not easy to do!" Teacher Jin said.

"Wait." Xu Tian suddenly noticed that there were some very fine ice beads in the snow. "Look here." Xu Tian pointed to the ice beads on the snow and said.

"It looks like a drop of water has fallen." Teacher Jin said.

"Villagers don't usually stay here for long, so no one should come here with something like a kettle, right?" Xu Tian asked Lao Gao.

"No, we generally only cut for about fifteen minutes, enough to use, in fact, the main reason is that we are too afraid, but other places are not allowed to chop wood, and now we are advocating environmental protection!" Lao Gao said.

"These ice beads are probably caused by low sweat." Xu Tian said.

"It's a little yellowish, right next to the man who fell, and there's a tree trunk here, and the man should have been stepping on the path, holding the trunk with one or both hands, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping on the snow." Teacher Jin said.

"But he still fell, probably due to exhaustion." Xu Tian said.

"If nothing else, that man must have been poisoned by some kind of poison, and he's still desperately trying to escape." Teacher Jin said.

"He can only run from the forest to the direction of the village, if he runs in the village this way, he will inevitably be discovered by the villagers, but so far no one has said about it, this land is more controversial, if that person runs from the village to this side, there will definitely be chaos." Xu Tian said.

"We'll have to keep going deeper and see if we can find some clues." Teacher Jin said.

"Don't! Now that it's dark, if you go inside, it will be dark when you come out, and although I don't believe in those evil ways, this is also the road to the grave of the dead after all, so let's go back! Lao Gao said.

"If you go back now, you may not be able to find any clues tomorrow, so you can go back first! If we don't go back at seven o'clock in the evening, call someone to search us. Teacher Jin said.

"Oh well! I'll go back and tell Mr. Xu, take care. Lao Gao left a sentence and ran back to the village.

At this time, the sky was already very dark, Xu Tian and Mr. Jin turned on the flashlight function in their mobile phones and walked towards the forest according to the path.

After walking about 300 meters, the two of them could no longer see the road that the villagers had stepped on, and it could be seen that most of the villagers were cutting firewood within 300 meters.

However, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin's predictions were all correct, there were still some footprints that could be seen clearly on the farther road, and there were about four people who went deeper, but only a row of footprints walking back looked messy, and Xu Tian judged that this row of footprints was stepped on by the person who fell in the rapid running.
