Chapter Seventy-Eight: Traces
Long Yang quickly followed, and the two were like partners who had cooperated for many years, advancing alternately, warning each other, and covering each other. Ling Feng couldn't help but nod secretly, Long Yang was really a good piece of material for being a policeman. I have worked for so many years and have a set of standard reconnaissance and tracking actions, but I didn't expect Long Yang to be able to make such outstanding movements without training.
The fallen grass stretched all the way to the middle of the village, and Long Yang and Ling Feng arrived around and around.
"What is this?"
After reaching the middle of the village, the track disappeared abruptly, and what appeared in front of Ling Feng's eyes was only a pit, a deep pit. Ling Feng didn't know what place this was, and looked at Long Yang suspiciously.
Without much thought, Long Yang knew that this was the place where the old locust tree in Li Village was originally planted, and the locust tree had been removed, and there was only a pit left here. Why did these people come here, does it have anything to do with the old locust tree? Or have a connection with the people of Li Village?
"Uncle Ling, this is the place where Li Village worships, there was originally an old locust tree that has grown for hundreds of years, but it has been relocated, and the people of Li Village have disappeared inexplicably." Long Yang explained the situation to Ling Feng in a low voice, now is not the time to say more.
Ling Feng immediately walked around the old locust tree, carefully observing the traces on the ground and the surrounding environment.
"Long Yang, but these people disappeared here, will they go to heaven and earth?" Ling Feng was still looking around as he spoke, not letting go of any trace of it.
Long Yang was also carefully observing, there were all around, there were pits, and he didn't believe that these people could suddenly disappear. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, these people really don't have any whereabouts to continue, and there is nowhere to go.
"Uncle Ling, there is nothing suspicious here, let's go to the room in the village and have a look."
"Okay."
Li Village was originally an ordinary mountain village, and there was no contact with the outside world, if it weren't for the death of Teacher Zhou Lan, Long Yang would not have known that there was another village here. Although it is not as big as Jin Village, it is also a village that has existed for many years, how can it be said that there is no more, and the people in the village will all leave.
Long Yang and Ling Feng were not separated, after all, this village was very strange now. They walked through every house, every room was dilapidated, no one had ever visited.
Ling Feng picked up a sturdy stool, wiped the dust off it, and sat on it.
"Long Yang, I've grown so big and worked so long, and I've only encountered so many weirdness when I've been with you. You see, such a dilapidated village is so weird. Ling Feng patted the dust on his body and said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Uncle Ling, you say this village is weird?" Long Yang needed the reason that Ling Feng said, because the authorities were obsessed with bystanders.
"Yes! First, assuming that your Jin Village did not encounter a landslide, would your Jin Village easily leave the village where you have lived for many years and stay away from the homeland of life? Ling Feng voiced the question in his heart.
"No, it won't."
"Since you can't do it, how can Li Village do this?"
"No, it won't."
"Then why did you move out in such a hurry and abandon your family and business?"
"The specific reasons are not clear, most of them are in trouble, and there must be a reason to move out."
"Good. Second, what village has to take a tree with them when they move out? ”
"No one does that easily."
"Then why would they do that?"
"yes, why would they do that?" Long Yang couldn't answer this question, he asked Ling Feng rhetorically, and he was also thinking about it.
"This shows that this tree is very important to them, and they can't do without it."
"Uncle Ling, that's the truth. The old locust tree is the object of worship in Li Village, and if they have any wishes, they will tie a strip of red cloth on the branches, and the old locust tree will fulfill their wishes. Long Yang remembered that Jin Shan had explained to him like this, and he remembered it vividly.
"Third, as the saying goes, a tree moves the dead and the living, since the tree is so important to the people of Li Village, how can they easily move the tree, unless?"
"Unless there's a place where this tree can live better, there's a better place than in this place!" Long Yang immediately rushed to say.
"Yes!" Ling Feng patted his thigh and stretched out his hand to point at Long Yang.
At this time, Long Yang also thought of it, and also stretched out his hand to point at Ling Feng. Both of them thought of a place, and that was the southeast peak, which was full of life and aura, and where the old locust trees migrated.
"Uncle Ling, let's go! Let me take you to enjoy the beautiful and magnificent scenery of the southeast peak. Long Yang was impatient and wanted to confirm the two of them immediately.
"Slow! After you finish Uncle Ling, I also have a fourth! ”
Long Yang always has one, two, three, or four when analyzing problems, but he didn't expect Ling Feng to also learn this trick, and he also has a fourth.
"Longyang, if the old locust tree has moved to the mountain, then it won't be able to leave for a while, what I want to say now is very important." Ling Feng stopped Long Yang from heading to the southeast mountain peak and voiced his concerns.
"Fourth, if the old locust tree is really on the southeast peak, then the people of Li Village are really terrible and dangerous! Also, it is very likely that these people who came to Li Village again are the people who moved out of Li Village, and they may also have a lot to do with the destruction of your ancestral tomb in Jin Village. ”
Either how to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, Ling Feng not only said the stakes in it, but also pointed out that it has a lot to do with Jin Village. Long Yang didn't know the details inside, Ling Feng didn't know either, he knew even less, but it was not easy for him to think of this.
Long Yang gave Ling Feng a thumbs up, admiring this Uncle Ling who took good care of him from the bottom of his heart. Ling Feng's statement guided Long Yang's thinking direction, and further confirmed the thoughts in Long Yang's heart.
"Uncle Ling, what should we do next?"
"Aren't you going to take me to see the scenery on the mountain, we'll go now, but you have to be careful!" After Ling Feng finished speaking, he once again led the way towards the southeast peak. He walked in front, just to leave the safety to Longyang behind.
The two of them soon came to the bottom of the mountain, because the mountain peak was full of aura, trees and grass were all over the mountain, and even the previous road was buried.
If you can't go up the mountain, you have to go up the mountain. Long Yang vaguely remembered a road up the mountain, which he had gone with Jin Shan before. At that time, the snow was heavy and the mountain was closed, and Jin Shan still easily took Long Yang to the mountain, and Long Yang had already learned this skill.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, with seven turns and eight bends, mountains and rocks blocking the road, and weeds blocking the road. Long Yang and Ling Feng also had to guard against the attacks of beasts and poisonous snakes at all times, stopping step by step, and being careful all the time.
Fortunately, the two of them have been in danger when they approached the top of the mountain. However, at this time, the two people were already soaking wet, not only stuffy, but also the consequences of nervous tension.
"Uncle Ling, look! Old locust tree! Long Yang was surprised to see an old tree on the top of the mountain, which was covered with red cloth. At this time, the old locust tree is no longer withered and old, but flourishes and glows with infinite vitality.
Wrong! Long Yang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. The last time I arrived, there was no such tree on the top of the mountain, and it was only a long time before the old locust tree appeared on the top of the mountain.
Ling Feng heard Long Yang's reminder and also saw the trees on the top of the mountain.
"Hey! Don't say it, it's the first time I've seen a locust tree grow on the top of a mountain! After Ling Feng finished speaking, he climbed up the mountain and was dragged by Long Yang.
"Long Yang, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Ling, I feel a sense of danger."
"Where?" Ling Feng was immediately vigilant and looked around.
"I don't know, Uncle Ling, let me go up first, after all, I see more of these things than you, you believe me." There were words in Long Yang's words, and there were some things he had indeed seen more than Ling Feng.
"Be careful, I'll follow." Ling Feng understood what Long Yang meant, and patted Long Yang on the shoulder.
Long Yang's eyes stared at the old locust tree and approached cautiously. At this time, the sun was about to set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun was also extremely dazzling, and Long Yang wore an eye patch.
As it approached, Long Yang felt a burst of joy in his heart, maybe he would be able to solve many mysteries this time. Long Yang pulled a number of weeds with both hands and went up to the peak in one step.
Suddenly, a dazzling bright light came straight towards Long Yang, and Long Yang was not allowed to react, and the strong light had already been mapped in front of Long Yang's eyes.
"Ahh
Long Yang felt a sharp pain in his head, and then lost consciousness.
"Where is this?" Long Yang finally woke up from his coma with a pile of fire in front of him.
"Long Yang, you're awake!" Ling Feng quickly came to Long Yang's side and helped Long Yang who was lying on the straw mat.
"Uncle Ling, what's wrong with me?" Long Yang asked confusedly.
"You ask me, who do I ask? When you get to the top of the mountain, you suddenly scream and faint. I'll hurry over and see that your breathing and heartbeat are normal, but you can't wake up no matter how much you scream. Ling Feng recounted what had happened on the peak.
"I felt a bright light coming at me, and then my head hurt and I lost consciousness."
"Feel it and see what's wrong." Ling Feng was worried that there was something wrong with Long Yang's body, so he immediately reminded Long Yang to check it out.
Long Yang immediately touched his body, everything on his body was there, and the parts on his body would definitely not be missing, because Ling Feng was by his side to protect him.
"Uncle Ling, I'm fine."
"It's weird!" Ling Feng also learned from Long Yang, scratching his head.
"Uncle Ling, tell me about the next thing."
"I was scared to death by you, thinking something had happened to you. But seeing that you were breathing normally, as if you were asleep, I carried you down the mountain, and you see that this is not the place of your ancestral grave. I think it's pretty flat, and that's how it got you. ”
Only then did Longyang pay attention to the environment here, it was really the ancestral tomb of Jin Village. Long Yang got up from the ground and circled around the bonfire on the ground, he was really fine, how could this be explained?
"Uncle Ling, didn't you see a beam of light at that time?"
"Beams? I didn't see it. Ling Feng fiddled with the bonfire burning on the ground with a twig, making sure that he hadn't seen any beams.
Long Yang was also confused. The old locust tree, the beam, fainted by himself, what is the connection here?
"Where's the old locust tree?"
"I was trying to first aid you, and I didn't observe too much, but when I carried you away, it was still on the mountain, and there was no special change. However, I remember that the branches of the trees were all tied with strips of red cloth, and they were new strips of red cloth. ”
"That's how recently someone sacrificed it!"
"Hmm." Ling Feng nodded, he had heard Long Yang's explanation, and he also affirmed this.
"Then we'll go back tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, since you're fine, I'll go with you tomorrow!"
