Chapter 11: The Shadow of Three Hundred Years Ago

"Are there any other accounts of these shadows other than that time?" Huang Jun asked.

Wen Hai shook his head, "No, I naturally know the particularity of these materials, all I paid special attention to the relevant information, but I didn't find any information about these shadows."

"Well, there are no legends either? Or just a few words? Huang Jun said without giving up.

"No, I asked some people nearby, but they were not impressed, and I think this situation is normal, ordinary people will definitely not believe it, and not everyone has the courage to go into the mountain alone." Wenhaidao.

"So, when did the current village start to be built?" Huang Jun asked.

"Well, probably after the liberation, many people migrated here due to the war, and then slowly formed a village here," said Bunkaido.

"Can you find a local history of this village?" Huang Jundao.

"About the village? At present, no, because this village was built for a short time, and the village is mainly composed of people who fled the famine in the past, and the level of education is low, no one would think of writing a local chronicle "Wenhaidao".

"So far, we've only been able to find this one clue?" Huang Jun frowned.

"That seems to be the case, then, what are we going to do next?" Wen Hai was a little worried. As a scientist, he should believe in science, but everything he has encountered so far seems to be beyond the scope of science, how can Wenhai not be depressed.

Huang Jun didn't answer, but fell into deep thought. Huang Jun always felt that something was about to emerge, but it seemed that some opportunities were still missing. Moreover, through Wen Hai's description, Huang Jun always felt that there were some hidden lines in the middle that could connect everything, but Huang Jun couldn't remember what this hidden line was. If those shadows did appear, then it is impossible to leave no traces. Moreover, how can those shadows only appear once, besides, this kind of thing, so bizarre, according to the habits and thinking of the Chinese, even if there are non-existent things, some legends can be made, but there is no information about these real things, which makes Huang Jun feel even strange.

"Wen Hai, the descendant of the herb picker, can you contact him?" Huang Jundao.

"What, do you want to ask in person?" Wenhaidao.

"There are some things I still can't figure out, I have to ask them in person," Huang Jun nodded and said.

Wen Haidao: "It's okay, maybe I missed some important clues when I recalled, so I'll ask someone to invite him over to see what else can be found."

Huang Jun smiled: "This is the best."

Wen Hai frowned and said, "Is there any speculation?" ”

Huang Jun shook his head and said, "It's not that there is any speculation, but there are some doubts."

"Oh? What kind of doubts? "Wen Haidao.

"Since you just said that the matter of shadows is recorded in the local chronicles, and it is also mentioned in the notes of the medicine collectors, why don't later generations have any legends about it? Do you think this is in line with the thinking logic of a Chinese? Huang Jun said.

When Wen Hai heard this, he also realized the problem, "Yes, we Chinese, even if we have nothing to do, we can make up a thing, such a big thing, it is impossible that there is no legend left at all, and if I don't investigate carefully, I'm afraid this matter will not attract people's attention at all, and more importantly, even in the local history, about this record, it is only a passing pass, only a few words."

"You also said that the herb picker was an important person at that time, right, such an important person, such an important thing happened, and there were only these few words, is there a problem in the middle? Even if the ancient text is concise, it won't be so long, right? Huang Jun said.

"Yes, I didn't think it was at first, but now that you say it, it's really a little unusual." Wenhaidao.

"By the way, in the local chronicle, is there any mention of what the result of this herb picker was?" Huang Jundao.

Wen Hai thought for a while and said: "I didn't specifically mention it, just say that he was conscious, and then he died of illness in which year, and there is nothing unusual in other places."

Huang Jun suddenly seemed to remember something, but in the end he didn't speak, just nodded.

When the soldier invited the descendants of the herb picker, it was already noon, Huang Jun slept beautifully, ate again, and the fatigue on his body was swept away, although he had gone through so many things, but Huang Jun had never been as tired as last night, at this moment, when he recalled that feeling, he still felt palpitations, and at the same time, he felt even more unusual in his heart, he thought that this time it would not be fun, but when things went on here, Huang Jun felt that maybe if he was not careful, then, this time he might really have to plant.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, with dark skin on his face, his face showed a simple and simple appearance, and he looked like a farmer, but at this time, he looked up at the people in the room, looking confused.

"Adong, don't be afraid, I think you have also heard about the village in front of you, we were sent by the state to investigate this matter, and I hope you can cooperate" Wen Hai said with a smile.

"Professor Wen, is there anything else you would like to ask? I said everything I could say last time," Adong said helplessly, obviously feeling very unaccustomed to the formation in front of him.

"It's not that I'm going to ask you, this time it's this gentleman, yes, he has something to ask you" Wen Hai pointed at Huang Jun.

"Is he bigger than Professor Wen's officer?" Ah Dong asked curiously.

"Oh, this, this, of course" Wen Hai smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, the questions I ask will definitely not be too difficult to answer, you just need to answer truthfully," Huang Jun said.

Ah Dong looked at Wen Hai and then at Huang Jun, so he nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you".

Huang Jun said: "Adong, you say, how did your ancestor die in the end?" ”

"He? Well, I'm sick and dead," Adong replied strangely.

"Oh? So, when did you die? I mean, how many years after the shadow incident? Huang Jun asked.

"Well, it's been five years," Adong replied, but the expression on his face was no longer confused, but vigilant.

"Five years, which means that the herb picker died of illness after that incident, right?" Huang Jun confirmed again.

"That's right, that's it," Adong nodded cooperatively.

"How old were you when you died?" Huang Jun asked.

Ah Dong wanted to speak and stopped, as if he hesitated for a moment, and finally replied honestly: "Thirty-four years old"

"That is, your ancestor of the herb picker died of illness at the age of thirty-four, which is really unfortunate, what kind of disease did he have?" Huang Jun asked.

"I don't know this very well," Adong began to sweat. At this time, without Huang Jun's reminder, Shu Yao and Wen Hai both saw the bizarre performance of Ah Dong, and originally called Ah Dong over to ask, but Huang Jun was not hopeful, but judging from the current situation, it seems that there is a major hidden secret, which makes Huang Jun a little surprised.

"So, you really don't know?" Huang Jun knew that he must break through Adong's psychological defense first, otherwise it would be even more difficult to let go of this opportunity.

"No, I, I don't know," Adong said.

"Adong, do you know that because of this incident, there are hundreds of people whose lives and deaths are unknown, and now the country has blocked all of them, if you don't find out the reason, I'm afraid there will be more people whose lives and deaths are unknown, Adong, you have to realize what you are doing now" Wen Hai said sternly.

Ah Dong looked at Wen Hai, then at Huang Jun, and finally lowered his head and sighed in an inaudible voice.

"So, let me ask you again, is that herb picker sick and dead? What disease do you have? Huang Jun said.

A Dong showed a struggling expression on his face and said, "Professor Wen, I, I, can I not answer?" ”

Huang Jun was almost certain at this time that there must be something important in this, so he said: "No, you have to answer us, you have to be clear, what you are doing now, what we are doing now."

Ah Dong's face was almost crying, "I, I can't say, I will definitely be unlucky if I say it, no, I will definitely be taken away by them"

"They? Who are they? "Wen Haidao.

"Adong, believe us, but whatever is involved in this matter, we can all protect you," Shu Yao said.

"That's right, even if it's a devil, having these people in front of you is enough to protect you," Wen Hai said without losing any time.

"Really?" Ah Dong raised his head and looked at Huang Jun with a suspicious look.

Huang Jun didn't say much, but suddenly smiled, and suddenly, without warning, the person disappeared as if it had never appeared.

"He, he, where has he gone? What about people? What about people? Adong asked in horror.

"Shouting what, am I not right behind you?" Huang Jun's voice sounded faintly behind Ah Dong.

"You, you, you're a ghost, you're a ghost," said Adon hysterically.

"Adong, don't be afraid, they have superpowers, and they specialize in ghost hunting," Wen Hai smiled bitterly. To be honest, he was also very shocked by Huang Jun's performance, although he took risks with Huang Jun, although he also knew a little bit about Huang Jun's identity, but he had never seen Huang Jun do such a performance, and now he suddenly looked at it, and he still felt a little incredible, almost subverting the worldview of being a scientist, but in the end, he was determined and didn't lose his temper on the spot.

"That's right, we will protect you, no matter what is involved, you can rest assured" Shu Yao said without losing any time. Beauty always has a peculiar power that can quickly soothe people's hearts, and Adong is also aware of his gaffes.

"You, are you really human?" Ah Dong was still a little uncertain.

"Of course, in such broad daylight, where the ghost came from, I did this just to tell you, no matter what is involved, we have enough ability to protect you, you can trust us" Huang Jun said.
