In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and I have grown into a seventeen-year-old young man, and after intense study in the ninth grade, I have finally finished the entrance exam.

"Son, you're tired from being busy with exams these days, so your mother and I decided to fund you to go to some small places nearby to have fun for a few days!" My dad said with a smile. "Really?! Thank you Dad! Listening to my father's words, I jumped up from the bench with joy and said.

"Hehe, but we don't have time, and your sister hasn't come back yet, so you can only go with Mei'er." "Yes, good!"

After inquiry, I heard that the environment of Xinqing Village in Fenglin County is very good, so Mei'er and I took a bus for five or six hours to come to this village.

The environment of this village is indeed very quiet, the rice growing in the fields, the children playing on the road, and the lush poplar trees all show the vitality of this village everywhere.

And the best scenery here is a long river running through the village, with rows of poplar trees leaning against the bank, and the water level here is not deep, and you can step barefoot in the cool water, and sometimes small fish swim by your feet.

Next to this river is a mountain, the scenery on the mountain is said to be very beautiful by people who have been here, and the clouds and mist are shrouded in clouds and mist on the mountainside, just like a fairyland on earth, it is a good place to play.

But it was almost evening when Mei'er and I came here, and since there were many people coming here, someone opened an inn in the village, and we stayed in this shop first.

"Do you two stay at the hotel?" A middle-aged man with a simple appearance stood in front of the counter and greeted warmly.

"Yes, yes. Boss, open us two rooms! Preferably next to each other. Listening to my words, the innkeeper looked at me and Mei'er suspiciously, Mei'er is now more mature and beautiful, and it is normal for the boss to be a little confused when he sees me opening two rooms.

"Okay, two rooms, 304, 305, this is the room card, please take it!"

"Yes, okay. It's 300 yuan, set for two days first. ”

Just as Mei'er and I were about to go upstairs, the boss suddenly stopped us again, and when he saw me and Mei'er with suspicious faces, the boss looked around and ran to us and whispered, "Don't go out at night!" ”

After listening to the boss's words, I was stunned for a moment. "Why?" I asked, puzzled.

The boss turned his head to look around, and then he whispered, "Because we have a heart-eating monster here lately!" ”

"Heart-eating monsters?" I exclaimed in some surprise, and Mei'er looked at the innkeeper in surprise.

"Shhhh Be quiet! The innkeeper made a silent gesture in some horror, "If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have said these things!" Looking at the innkeeper's angry appearance, Mei'er and I were a little helpless.

"Why?" I asked. Who knew that the shopkeeper gave me a blank look and said, "Hey, why do you have so many problems at such a young age?!" Don't go out at night, really! With that, the shopkeeper turned around and went back to the counter.

My curiosity was piqued, and I was about to go to the shopkeeper to ask for clarification. At this time, Mei'er, who had been standing aside and had not spoken, grabbed me.

Mei'er smiled at me, then pulled me upstairs. When she came to my room and looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, Mei'er pursed her lips and smiled. "I just learned about the storekeeper's hiding thing through mind reading." Mei'er said softly.

"Huh? Mei'er, what the hell is going on! Hearing that Mei'er already knew the reason for the incident, I asked with some eagerness. Mei'er frowned and said, "The specific owner of the shop is not clear, I only know from his memory that there have been several murders in the forest under the mountain near the river, and the cause of death is that the heart was dug up, and the victims are all women." ”

Listening to Mei'er's words, my heart was shocked, "What kind of monster is it that pokes people's hearts?" What if it's a person? ”

I've never seen or heard of monsters that need people's hearts, so I naturally shifted my suspicions to man, the biggest monster in nature.

Listening to my words, Mei'er nodded and said firmly, "Whether it's a monster or a human, we have to find him!" There is also peace in this world. ”

The next morning, I heard a lot of people shouting downstairs.

I lay on the bed and frowned, finally taking a few days off to have a few days off, but the first day didn't let people sleep well.

I muttered and got up, and just as I was washing my face, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice that said, "Huo Yi, are you up?" "Mei'er, I'm already up!" With that, I quickly wiped my face and opened the door.

Looking at Mei'er at the door, I smiled and said, "Mei'er, what's wrong?" At this time, Mei'er pulled me downstairs.

I couldn't help frowning at the noise here, there were about twenty people downstairs, and it seemed that they were all here to play, because the people of the village would come to stay at the hotel.

"Return the money, return the money I have left for a few days." "Return the money." "Return the money, we won't live!" After listening carefully, I found that the content of this noisy voice was surprisingly consistent, all of them asked the hotel to return the money, and they didn't stay.

The innkeeper sighed, and stood at the counter helplessly and returned the money to these people one by one. At this time, I grabbed a middle-aged man who was close to me and said, "Hello, uncle, why do you have to check out?" ”

At this time, the middle-aged man looked at me and said, "Child, you are here to play too?" I nodded. Alas, listen to my uncle's advice, hurry home. Life is the most important thing! As he spoke, he was about to leave, and I hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't know, there was another murder last night, and there are still police in the forest!" Oops, it's terrible, don't say it, don't say it. ”

Mei'er and I looked at each other, nodded, and headed back to the room upstairs.

"Huoyi, what are you going to do?!" Coming to the room, Mei'er looked at me and asked. "There's still police there, so let's sneak over and check it out at night!" Hearing that someone was dead again, I couldn't help frowning, and Mei'er didn't know what to say when she saw me like this, so she just nodded.

Soon, in the evening, I took out the treasure bag from the suitcase, because my uncle said that this treasure bag does not need to be carried every inch, but must be carried wherever it goes.

I carried the treasure bag on my back, and then Mei'er said, "Huoyi, you haven't eaten for a day, let's go down and eat something before going." "Because Mei'er is a fox fairy, she will be fine even if she doesn't eat or drink for a week, and I'm a human being, so it's okay not to eat or drink.

Seeing Mei'er's worried look, I smiled, raised my hand and touched Mei'er's face, and said, "Well, okay." Mei'er slapped my hand away and gave me an angry look, I scratched my head and smiled embarrassedly.

We had just arrived on the first floor when we heard a surprised voice shouting, "Oh, why didn't you two young people leave!" Listening to the voice, I knew that it was the innkeeper, and I smiled and said, "Uncle, we are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and we haven't started to play yet, how can we go back!" ”

Hearing my words, the innkeeper said helplessly, "Alas, didn't I tell you?!" There are heart-eating monsters here! ”

I frowned and said, "Uncle, I heard that there was a murder here, but the deceased's heart was gone, but why are you so sure that the deceased's heart was eaten?!" ”

The innkeeper was stunned for a moment, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "It was at the end of last year, an old man about fifty or sixty years old came to my hotel with a little girl in her twenties, but they went out one after the other at night. The next morning, the people in the village said that there was a dead man, and I didn't believe it at first, but when the police car and ambulance drove by, I chuckled in my heart. ”

"In the end, I realized that the old man was the leader of a certain unit, and the little girl was his subordinate. I heard that in the middle of the night the little girl suddenly got dressed and walked out, the old man didn't know what was going on and went out, I don't know what happened, anyway, in the end the girl died, and the old man survived, but he was crazy, and he only knew what to say about the monster that eats people's hearts all day long. Alas, what a self-inflicted sin! ”

After listening to what the innkeeper said, my brow twisted into a pimple, since there is really something that eats people's hearts, it must not be people. I thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, I would like to ask you again, have you had anything else going on here in recent years?" ”

Hearing my words, the innkeeper seemed a little embarrassed, and he thought for a while before he said, "Alas, the village is not allowed to talk about this matter, just last year, a young man committed suicide in the forest of our village, and he forced himself to dig out his heart and hold it in his hands. Our village relies on everyone to travel to make some money, so the village does not allow this to be said. But now, it's the same anymore! As he spoke, the innkeeper smiled wryly.

"Do you know that young man?" I asked. "I don't know." The innkeeper shook his head.
