Ding Yuwei stood up and pointed out the window for a long time without speaking, everyone raised their heads and quietly listened to this long breath.

Then Director Wang said to Ding Yuwei: "This is a unique wonder of our aunt village, and if you are interested, you can go out and have a look." ”

There weren't many people responding, so Director Wang took Xia Xi and the three of them to climb up the stairs inside to the roof of the village, which looked like a specially prepared viewing platform.

There is a thick fog in front of you, the visibility is less than five meters, and you can't see people a few steps away. Lou Lanfeng heard the sound of Ding Yuwei's bullet being loaded on the side, and thought: "If you want to say that Director Wang is afraid of death, it may not be worse than you, no one is nervous about what you are doing with such a big move." ”

They stood on the roof for a few minutes, the air seemed to freeze, and they saw nothing. Slowly, there seemed to be a breeze blowing through the hairline, and Director Wang suddenly said, "It's almost, it's coming." ”

Then I felt the fog in front of me start to stir, like slowly pouring coffee into milk. The wind that rose down the col became stronger and stronger, and the clouds and mist began to swirl, and then the deep breathing sound came from the distant peaks, so the clouds and mist slowly surged towards the peaks, the speed became faster and faster, and the subsequent dense fog was like a track brought up by a giant ship, forming several waves, heading straight to the peaks, and the momentum was amazing. When the fog was misty, the wind blew several people's clothes and hunting, and Loulan Feng instinctively protected Xia Xi's body.

Just when the mountain peaks loomed in the distance, Director Wang pointed and shouted: "That's Lao Gu Peak!" ”

After a minute, the breathing stopped, and the clouds still hung around as if nothing had happened.

Xia Xi said excitedly: "This is amazing, it looks thrilling!" ”

The frightened Ding Yuwei asked Director Wang on the side: "Lao Wang, have you ever gone out to fish the world before?" ”

Director Wang paused for a moment before replying, "I went out when I was a teenager, what's wrong?" ”

Ding Yuwei said: "Then you are also a person who has seen the world, why do you still stay in this ghost place." ”

Director Wang smiled and said, "I followed my father out back then, but then he went out again and didn't come back, and now I don't know if he's dead." ”

Lou Lanfeng asked: "Does this phenomenon happen all year round?" ”

Director Wang led them down: "Only in autumn and winter when the wind direction changes, the foggy weather looks more spectacular, and if there is no fog, it will be less interesting." ”

When Zhang saw them, he said, "The siphon phenomenon of the atmosphere. ”

Ding Yuwei was not in the mood to talk about this, he asked Zhang very politely: "What do you mean by large animals just now?" Also What large animal is not a beast? ”

Xiao Wang, who had been sitting next to Lao Guo and didn't seem to be going to speak for the rest of his life, spoke: "Cows and horses are not beasts. ”

Ding Yuwei glanced at him and ignored him, and continued to look at classmate Zhang. "We have collected some traces on the plants, which have been sent back to the school for testing, and we suspect that they belong to some kind of large animal," Zhang said. ”

Xia Xi asked him, "What type of traces do they belong to?" Rest assured, we don't have a project on us, and we are fully cooperating with the investigation to provide advice. ”

Zhang was a little embarrassed: "Of course, we must put the investigation of the disappearance in the first place, the reason why we did not make a big deal about it is because we are not sure to directly link the disappearance of people with the traces found, we have not recorded large beasts in our province for decades, and the beasts will leave an obvious scene when they hurt people, and it is impossible to even injure a few people without seeing a drop of blood." At present, we have only collected some dry samples of protein mucus on the grass blades of the mountain road, but we cannot determine the source, only from the height analysis, it should be left by relatively tall animals, but we have not found any abnormal footprints and feces around. ”

Lou Lanfeng then asked, "Are the test results out?" ”

Student Zhang nodded: "It's out, I still can't tell, but it's certain that it's not mucus secreted by the mouth, so the tutor said that it will come down in a day or two." ”

After he finished speaking, everyone didn't speak again for a while, and Wang Yuxia began to show restlessness again, nothing more than urging it to end as soon as possible.

Ding Yuwei didn't seem to feel that he couldn't ask anything, so he finally concluded: "It seems that it is difficult to draw conclusions about what is going on, and no bloodstained corpses and clear crime scenes have been found so far, so we can only continue to deal with them as missing. ”

Director Wang said that there is no hotel in the village, and usually the guests in the village live on the second floor of the village, Ding Yuwei sighed again: "Now the rural economy outside is so prosperous, but you don't even have a farmhouse, and I don't understand why those who go out in your village want to come back." ”

Director Wang was a little unconvinced: "Our current cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine is doing very well, many people are rich in their families, and it is difficult to leave their homeland." ”

Ding Yuwei refused to live in the same room with Lou Lanfeng, so the three of them occupied three rooms, and the other two rooms were occupied by the two graduate students and the county police.

Lou Lanfeng heard Wang Yuxia squabbling downstairs and arranging the route home, it was nothing more than waiting for Director Wang to go down, and a few people would send her home first, and then they could go home separately. Lou Lanfeng thought to himself: "Why is the staff of a town government so domineering without knowing the sky. ”

The toilet is shared, and you have to take turns to take a bath, and when you pack up and settle down, Loulan Feng will see that the time is less than eight o'clock. Although I was in the car all day, I was not tired, so I opened the window and looked at the thick fog outside, and after a while, the thick fog gradually filled the room.

There is no fixed cycle for the old lady to absorb the clouds, it happens once in a while, and when the fog rushes, the distant mountain peaks look like a huge monster entrenched in the darkness.

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door, Lou Lanfeng opened the door, Xia Xi stood in the fog outside the door, as if she had just washed her hair, and sprayed a floral perfume, her hair was half dry and scattered like a ghost, she said to Lou Lanfeng: "Let's go out for a walk." ”

Outside the village is a short street, and at this time there is a little wind, and the fog is thick and light, and it begins to flow slowly.

There was still no one on the street, it was quiet, and the autumn insects seemed to have stopped chirping. Lou Lanfeng said: "It's very strange, why don't you have a dog, when I was in the army before, there were generally villages on the edge of the station, and every household had a dog, and outsiders easily did not dare to enter the village alone." ”

Xia Xi said with a smile: "Gu Long said that there are dogs in the world that don't bite and call Huazi, but all of them eat dog meat called Huazi, since this village used to be a beggar's village, of course I don't like to raise dogs, dogs are the sworn enemies of beggars." ”

Lou Lanfeng looked at Xia Xi who was vague: "Really? ”

Xia Xi laughed deeper: "I'm talking nonsense." ”

Lou Lanfeng said: "If you have a dog, no matter who or animal enters the village, the dogs in the whole village will bark, they should be the most experienced in this, but they live in the mountains and don't raise dogs, maybe your ancient dragon may be right, they and dogs are compatible." ”

Xia Xi said: "It's too late to start raising dogs now to keep them safe, and tomorrow we will carry out actual field trips and organize villagers to defend themselves." ”

Lou Lanfeng turned his head to look at her: "Are you sure that there are dangerous factors that cause the disappearance of personnel?" ”

Xia Xi said: "I'll know this later, no matter what, you can't hope for the gang just now." ”

Lou Lanfeng nodded: "Look at the meeting held tonight, it was chaotic and disorganized, and which department was responsible for it was not implemented, and Ding Yuwei, a person who accompanied him to the countryside, easily took over the leadership." ”

Xia Xi said: "That's because many of your ideas are based on illusions, the highest level of this disappearance case reported all the way is actually Linmeng City, the so-called participation of provincial experts is an accidental event, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences sent people to have nothing to do with the report, what Ding Yuwei just said was reported all the way up is his own blind guess, and we are involved through other channels." ”

"Of course, your opinion is also correct, this matter has not attracted enough attention in the local area, have you seen those people asking for money in the traffic at the red light intersection? Some of them are such villagers. Often, a few people die in accidents in other places, and the local government has long been used to it. This time, they took the initiative to report it, and there were people in the county and towns, and they were already concerned, and it was good that Linmeng City also sent Ding Yuwei to come. ”

Lou Lanfeng asked, "How did we get involved?" ”

Xia Xi said: "You'll know later." ”

The two of them walked back and forth on the street twice, empty and no one was encountered, Xia Xi took out a small strong flashlight and said to Lou Lanfeng: "Follow me." With that, he turned into a path.

The village is built on the mountain, and the road is also an uphill road, the road is paved with stone slabs, and the houses are next to each other, and the gates of the houses are closed.

The night and the dense fog and flashlight didn't do much, Xia Xi and Lou Lanfeng supported each other to avoid tripping. Xia Xi's hair touched Loulan Feng from time to time, with Xia Xi's body fragrance and perfume smell, Lou Lanfeng couldn't help but feel a little flurry.

While groping for the ascent, Xia Xi said: "The old man who will go to see you later is the actual head of this village, similar to the beggar gang leader mentioned in martial arts novels." ”

Lou Lanfeng was surprised: "It's really fake, it won't really be holding a dog stick, right?" ”

Xia Xi said: "Of course they don't call themselves any gang leaders, they are generally called group heads, every beggar village has a head like this, passed down from generation to generation, and they are actually in power in the village, and every beggar goes out to beg, they have to draw a share, so they are not easy to mess with." ”

Lou Lanfeng sneered: "How can we cooperate with this kind of exploiting class, shouldn't we get rid of their lives?" ”

Xia Xi said: "No matter how difficult the class is, there is mutual oppression, can you get through it? ”

Lou Lanfeng said with a smile: "Then he is another blood-sucking person in this village, and he is compared to Lao Gufeng, who can suck clouds." ”

When she walked to the gate of a house, Xia Xi asked Loulan Feng to silence, she took out a rubber band and began to tie her hair, and in less than a minute, she tied a ponytail.

The road ahead has basically come to an end, Loulan Feng looked down the mountain, the lights were dotted in the fog, and the whole village was unobstructed, it seemed that this was undoubtedly the highest household.

Xia Xi said: "As soon as I arrive today, I will be optimistic about the path, I won't be wrong, and you won't say anything offensive to someone's identity later." ”

Lou Lanfeng said: "I'm not so lacking in heart. ”

Lou Lanfeng knocked on the door, and it took a while for a middle-aged man to come out to answer the door, standing in the courtyard and shouting, his tone was not very friendly: "Who is this!" Something tomorrow, when is this! ”

Xia Xi replied in a sweet voice: "Hello, we are here to find Uncle Wang Shiliang, he contacted us two days ago. ”

There was a sigh inside, and then he ran over and opened the door, and a middle-aged man said in the dark: "My old man is still chattering during dinner, come in quickly!" ”
