The two chose to continue walking deeper into the forest, at this time the sky had completely darkened, and there were only two people on the whole path, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin, and there was only the sound of two people stepping on the snow.

After about another two hundred meters, there was no road ahead.

"It seems that the villagers have only reclaimed the path for half a kilometer, and if you go further, you may have to go through the forest." Teacher Jin said.

"The footprints on the ground are still there, and the four rows of footprints have gone into the forest, and we must go to see what is going on." Xu Tian said.

When Xu Tian was talking, he accidentally slipped his phone to the ground, and when Xu Tian picked up the phone, the flashlight shook back, and in an instant, Xu Tian suddenly saw a low figure walking towards this side.

"Who?"

When Xu Tian shone the flashlight on the figure's face, he found that it was the ninety-two-year-old old man listening to the opera.

This time, the old man walked towards the forest step by step with a cane in his hand, and the snow on the side of the road left the marks of the crutches falling to the ground, and the old man was wearing a black cotton jacket, but the shoes on his feet were canvas shoes in spring and autumn.

"Young man, can you take me home?" The old man said with trembling lips.

"Can't find your way home?" Xu Tian asked.

"No, because the road is too difficult to walk, it didn't snow a few days ago, why is there such a big snow today? When did this snow fall? The old man asked.

"Don't you go to the ancestral hall every day to listen to the opera? Don't you know when it snows? Xu Tian asked.

"I can't remember, do you two want to go into the woods? Just take me a little bit, I'm going home. The old man said.

Xu Tian couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, wasn't there a dead man's grave in the forest? What's going on with this old man going home one by one?

"Tut-tut......" The old man laughed a few times. Don't be afraid, my home is not in the grave, my son is in the forest, and there is an old house in this forest, which was built by my grandfather when he brought our family to this island. The old man said.

"Where is the house? We'll take you there. Xu Tian said.

"Walk a little to the right, see a dry pool, and then go all the way to the left, about three hundred meters from the grave of the dead." The old man said.

Xu Tian looked at the ground, this way of walking was different from the four rows of footprints on the ground, and the four rows of footprints went directly into the forest.

However, since they caught up with the old man's request for help, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin had no choice but to help the old man first, and the matter of tracking footprints had to be put aside first.

The old man's legs and feet looked very bad, which was completely different from when he saw the old man in the village today, Xu Tian remembered very clearly, when he saw the old man at the door of Mr. Xu's house during the day, the old man was not on crutches in his hand, and Lao Gao also confirmed that the old man's legs and feet were quite sharp.

So what's going on with this old man? After only one afternoon, the legs and feet are inconvenient? Although it is possible to induce diseases at any time depending on the age of the elderly, this is too much of a coincidence.

But even though Xu Tian was very suspicious in his heart, he still supported the old man and continued to walk forward, Teacher Jin used a flashlight to shine on the road, there were no other people's footprints on this section of the road, and the snow was a little deep, Xu Tian had a feeling that he would step on the air at any time.

"Young people, do you think the road is difficult? If you don't mind, you can leave me here, there is a dry pond not far in front of you, you go to the left, there is a path, it is very recognizable, you can walk along the path and you can see our old house, you can call my son and let him pick me up. The old man said.

"We'll just walk you over, and if it's a bit of a hassle to do what you say, we'll just walk over." Xu Tian said.

"Wait, I think it's better for us to do what the old man wants." Teacher Jin said.

Xu Tian understood what Teacher Jin meant, and the two settled the old man under the dead tree on the side of the road, and walked forward for a while according to the old man's guidance.

"Are you trying to test something?" Xu Tian asked.

"You found out, right? This old man is a little different from the daytime. Teacher Jin said.

"Of course I found out, but maybe the old man has rheumatism or other diseases, or it is inconvenient to walk at night, so he is on crutches, and it may be that the old man is not clear, so he forgot to change his cotton shoes when he went out." Xu Tian said.

"You really like to think about the better, I disagree with you, first of all, the old man's grandson seems to be filial, will he let the old man go out of the house when the night has just fallen? Especially in such a cold winter. Teacher Jin said.

"This may have something to do with the detective game, the appearance of this old man was a little abnormal at the beginning, I felt that the old man's eyes were very hazy during the day, like dementia, but the old man just now was ......" As he spoke, Xu Tian's back was cold again.

"She doesn't look like she's demented, but what she said just now was clearly trying to tear us apart, so I thought it would be better to just do what she said, and I wanted to see what happened." Teacher Jin said.

"I see, that's what you mean, then let's go find that old house quickly!" Xu Tian said.

After walking for a while, they saw a dry pond in front of them, but the pond was not large, about the size of the foundation of an apartment, and there was a path to the left of the dry pool, but this path had been completely blocked by snow.

The snow on the trail is about a meter high, and the surrounding trees have been covered with snow.

"How can there be so much snow here?" Xu Tian sighed.

"That means that the place with a lot of snow should be downwind, and if you can accumulate that high snow, it means that there should be a wall or something like that." Teacher Jin said.

"Is it the house that the old man said?" Xu Tian said.

"It's hard to say, but we can't get through, such a high level of snow must be manually removed." Teacher Jin said.

"That's not right." Xu Tian suddenly thought of something.

At this time, Teacher Jin had already returned the same way, and Xu Tian hurriedly followed.

When the two of them walked to the place where the old man had been placed, the old man was no longer there, but the old man's crutch was left under the dead tree.

The crutches seemed to have been artificially placed under the dead tree, and there were still some traces of the old man sitting down under the dead tree, and the old man should have put the crutches under the dead tree at that time.

However, neither Xu Tian nor Teacher Jin found any traces of the old man standing up, and at this time, Xu Tian suddenly felt that snow was falling, and when he looked up, he saw that the old man's body was already hanging from the high tree trunk.
