Night is gradually falling on this mountain forest farm. In the later conversations, Lu Tan was reluctant to reveal too many things, and blamed everything on the mountain patrol members. Although Li Muyu and Qin Yao were anxious, they had no way to face Lu Tan.

Li Muyu and Qin Yao waited for the return of the mountain patrol team on the mountain lawn of the forest farm, but for the whole afternoon, Li Muyu did not see the shadow of the return of the mountain patrol team.

Li Muyu asked where the Lutan mountain patrol team went, but the answer he got was very simple - "I went to patrol the mountain." ”

During this period, Lu Tan didn't pay attention to Li Muyu and Qin Yao, and Li Muyu and the two didn't have the intention to ask Lu Tan too much. Lu Tan stayed in the wooden house all the time, smoking dry cigarettes. Qin Yao couldn't stand the smell and Li Muyu stood on the mountain lawn outside the wooden house.

Qin Yao and Li Muyu sat on a wooden stake, waiting for the mountain patrol team. It was getting dark. It's not that Li Muyu and Qin Yao didn't dare to enter the mountain, but they didn't wait for the mountain patrol team to understand the situation, and they didn't know where to start, it was not only a mountainous area, but also a strange place with strange rumors.

When the night completely fell on the mountain, Li Muyu finally saw a few lights swaying from the path in the back mountain. Looking at the situation, Li Muyu saw two men in their thirties walking towards the mountain from the mountain forest.

"They're back." At this time, Lu Tan also walked out of the hut, and when he saw the light in the distance, he reminded Li Muyu.

The mountain rangers are composed of mountain people from three mountainous areas, named Mo Yang, Mo Shi, and Mo Ming. They are not related to each other, and as for why these three people are all surnamed Mo, it can only be said that the village rumored in the mountains can only be said.

The village in the mountains is called Mojia Village, and the ** part of the whole village is surnamed Mo, but the origin of this surname is impossible to study. The village is in the middle of the mountains, although it is not a deep mountain no-man's land, but it is also in a remote place in the mountains, and it is rumored that the people in the village are not very friendly, so the whole village has been in a state of isolation.

"Hello, I'm police officer Li Muyu, and we want to investigate a missing case here." When the two mountain rangers returned to the mountain, Li Muyu said to the two.

The two originally saw Li Muyu and Qin Yao with puzzled faces, but after hearing Li Muyu's self-introduction, the two glanced at each other, immediately changed their attitudes, and greeted each other with smiles.

"Hello Officer Li, I'm Mo Ming, he's Mo Shi, and we're the rangers of this Lianzi Mountain area, I don't know what Officer Li wants to know?" It was Mo Ming who spoke.

Hearing Mo Ming's answer, Li Muyu's heart was relieved. He was most afraid that these two mountain rangers would be as oily and salty as Lu Tan. At that time, when he saw Mo Ming and Mo Shi, two strong men with dark skin and unkind complexions, Li Muyu was indeed a little worried in his heart.

"Well, not long ago, there was a case of disappearance in this mountainous area, there were eight people who entered the mountain, one of them was a journalist, and shortly after they entered the mountain, a young girl came here with the police to investigate. I wonder if you can tell us about the situation at that time? Li Muyu asked Mo Ming.

Mo Ming thought for a moment and replied to Li Muyu: "I remember that there was this matter, and the police in the town also came to investigate, and we also took them into the mountains, but after searching in the mountains for two days, we didn't find anything. This mountainous area is very large, and it is difficult to find someone, and even we cannot say that we have completely turned the mountainous area. ”

Li Muyu nodded, what Mo Ming said was not different from what he knew, Li Muyu continued to ask: "So have people been entering the mountain one after another in the past few days?" What do they do? Also, the little girl who led the police at that time, did she appear again? ”

When Li Muyu asked this, Mo Ming didn't answer directly, and his two thick eyebrows gradually wrinkled. At this time, Lu Tan, who was on the side, immediately replied: "I said, we haven't seen any little girls, as for the large number of people entering the mountains these days, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Li Muyu heard that Lu Tan was in such a hurry, and looked at Lu Tan suspiciously, and then Mo Ming immediately replied: "What Uncle Lu said is that he is a forest ranger and I am a mountain ranger, but we are not tour guides, and the people who enter the mountain have nothing to do with us, we can only point the way, as for the girl you asked, we really didn't see it." ”

Li Muyu didn't answer, just turned his head to look at Lu Tan, who avoided Li Muyu's gaze a little.

"Don't stand here, it's getting late, and the temperature difference in the mountains is big, let's go to the house and talk." As he spoke, Mo Ming waved his hand, beckoned Li Muyu and Qin Yao, and walked towards a wooden house.

The wooden house where Mo Ming and Mo Shi lived was next to Lu Tan, and the wooden house of the two was no different from the wooden house where Lu Tan lived, only a little bigger.

In the wooden house, Mo Ming Mo Shi boiled a kettle of water for Li Muyu and Qin Yao, and the four of them sat around the stove and talked casually.

Li Muyu wanted to ask about the missing person last time and the reason why so many people entered the mountain this time, but after being hit by Lu Tan, Li Muyu found that Mo Ming and Mo Shi also began to avoid talking about it.

Qin Yao had been listening to the conversation between Li Muyu and the others, and secretly began to pay attention to Lu Tan, Mo Ming, and Mo Shi in his heart.

From Mo Ming's mouth, Li Muyu learned that they had indeed encountered a lot of people entering the mountain in the past few days, but they only pointed out the way to Mojia Village and did not ask too much, as for what they were doing in the mountain, no one knows.

The chain mountain area is far larger than I imagined, and in the mountainous area, the last populated mountain village is Mo Ming and Mo Shi's hometown, Mojia Village. Mojia Village is located deep in the mountains, where the customs of living in the mountains have been retained, although it is not really isolated from the world, but the contact between Mojia Village and the outside world is only an occasional exchange of goods.

However, Mo Ming and Mo Shi denied the unfriendly rumors in Mojia Village, as for Li Muyu remembering what Hu Ze said at that time, about the ancient tomb that Hu Ze and Ling Ran met in the Chain Mountain, Mo Ming told Li Muyu that it was Eryuan Mountain, which was a very unclean place. However, in the chain mountain area, there are many such places, and there is a forbidden place known as a ghost village.

Li Muyu and Qin Yao were aroused by Mo Ming's curiosity, so they continued to ask about the "ghost village" in the mountains.

It turned out that in the early days of liberation, there was a wave of bandits who fled to the mountains, and the government could not go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, so they kept guarding outside the mountains and waiting for the bandits to come out. But this bandit is also ruthless, and when he saw that the government was guarding outside the mountain, he was ruthless in his heart, and set up a village in the deep mountains, preparing to live here.

Because this group of people was powerful at that time and plundered the coolies of Mojia Village at that time, the villagers still remember this live bandit vividly. But after the stockade was built, something unexpected happened.
