Chapter X
Time and distance were spent in the nonsense of the driver's eldest brother, and Xin Liezhi also gained a rare quiet during this time, and the nerves that were already on the verge of collapse now finally took a step back from the cliff. www.biquge.info Although the road to the village was a dirt road, the car drove well, and it took about an hour to get from the county seat to the village.
Xin Liezhi, who got out of the car, paid the bill, but he found that the only hotel was closed - he had not made a reservation, and at least there were no travelers to stay in the past few days, so the hostess of the hotel did not open the door at all. Xin Liezhi is not without camping experience, not to mention that there are still many houses in this village that can shelter from the wind and rain, and it is not a difficult problem to stay here for a night. Xin Liezhi found a relatively intact house, laid a tarp in the innermost room, put away the sleeping bag and saw that it was only in the afternoon, so he prepared to take a walk around the village, and at the same time explore the way to see how to walk tomorrow.
There is no popularity in the village at all, and it is even more unlikely that there are cats, dogs, and other animals, but Xin Liezhi found traces of mice, and he is also a veterinarian anyway, and he has an unscientific bonus in finding traces of wild beasts. Xin Liezhi walked around the village casually, looking at this and that, he had never seen this kind of ghost village - there were many ghost towns he had seen on the Internet, such as Detroit, such as those cities in the former Soviet Far East or something. To be honest, walking alone in this empty village is quite terrifying, at least although Xin Liezhi is also half a donkey friend, but he obviously feels chills all over his body now, and always feels as if something is hiding behind the wall and looking at him secretly in the corner.
Xin Liezhi decided that it would be better to go out of the village as soon as possible to explore the way, at least in the mountains and forests, he felt much more at ease than in a deserted village. He followed the route marked on the map - but because he was a half-fellow, he took the wrong route. After walking for more than half an hour, Xin Liezhi also felt that something was wrong, "Shouldn't it be a relatively gentle terrain at the bottom of the valley?" Why do I feel like I've been turning over one big rock after another? The guy stopped, picked up the map and compass - he was not as professional as Jiang Xia, and he didn't carry a GPS. After comparing the map for a long time, Xin Liezhi, who is considered a high-level intellectual, finally figured out his approximate location by relying on the patience and meticulousness of his medical training, "It's a fork, but if you look at the height of this sign, it should only deviate from the direction of about forty degrees." And it's about a kilometer or so. Seeing that it was not too early, he decided to go back to the village.
When he returned, he saw a wild boar, fortunately wild animals are afraid of people, this wild boar snorted and quickly turned around and ran down the slope of the mountain, Xin Liezhi carefully observed the direction of the wild boar's escape, and went around where the wild boar had come to prepare to continue - but something stopped him.
The ground was a mess, and it was clear that the boar had just arched some rocks and dirt here, and was eating something here. These things were familiar to Xin Liezhi - they were the wreckage of living beings. As a veterinarian, Xin Liezhi used a branch to pick open the stinking remains, "This bone....... It's human! And it's still a broken corpse! He raised his head and glanced left and right, and the depression with a radius of about 20 square meters was littered with human remains that had been dug out by wild boars, which looked shocking. But as a doctor, he has professional knowledge and spirit, not to mention that recent events have made his nerves a lot tougher. The remains here were obviously only a part of the human body, and he looked at the sections of several corpses, and it was obvious that there were cut marks beyond the teeth gnawed by the wild boar, and the wounds were probably cut while he was alive, according to the knowledge he gained from studying with his classmates in the Department of Forensic Medicine out of interest. There were traces of clothes on the wreckage, and Xin Liezhi was very lucky, the wreckage he found was part of the human chest, and it is estimated that the murderer threw the body parts of the chest cavity here after killing the victim and dividing the body. And in this wreckage, Xin Liezhi found half of the wallet, and the documents inside were still there, and it was written "Cai Gongchong......
Xin Liezhi felt that this name was so familiar, and he always felt that he had heard it sometimes. But he still couldn't remember, "Do you want to call the police?" However, there is no mobile phone signal here...... "It is already getting dark, and if he does not return to the village in time for dawn, Xin Liezhi does not think that he has the ability to find the right path in the darkness - even if the distance between the village is only a few hundred meters...... He had also heard a lot of stories about a traveler who got lost in the mountains and then died tragically a few dozen meters away from the road, but he didn't trust his ability to go in the wild. However, before leaving, Xin Liezhi used his camera to photograph the scene from all angles as much as possible, and there were specific wreckage, and even half of the wallet and documents were wrapped in paper and plastic bags and brought back - he couldn't protect the whole scene now, all he could do was to keep the original scene record as much as possible.
The way back was actually very smooth, and before dark, Xin Liezhi successfully set foot on the main road of the village. Back at the campsite, he cleaned his hands and face, took out his rations, started heating them, and lit a solid-fuel lamp. Although this night was a bit of a horror alone, it was the only peaceful sleep Xin Liezhi had seen in this time, and he didn't have any more nightmares.
After dawn the next day, this time Xin Liezhi hid the collected evidence in the camping place, and then set out on the road to Qinglong Lake with his backpack. This time he took out the map and compared it all the way, but even so, he estimated that it would be almost three or four o'clock in the afternoon when he got to the place. "I missed the road, I should have brought a folding mountain bike to try it," and it was not a lot of effort to walk on the right path, and it was much easier than when he took the fork yesterday. Along the gentle valley bottom, there are no tall trees or bushes on either side, which is a fairly safe natural path. Still, Xin Liezhi saw a lot of traces of wild beasts, and it seemed that this was a well-protected place - he even saw the footprints of big cats.
At noon, he set up a simple stove to heat up food and water, and after eating and drinking, he rested a little, and then finally saw Qinglong Lake at 3:40 p.m. When the picture that was exactly the same as the one in the notebook suddenly appeared in front of him, Xin Liezhi couldn't say anything, he could only plug his mouth with his fist. He stared fiercely at the calm surface of the lake in front of him, but finally withdrew his gaze in fear. Xin Liezhi did not dare to set up a tent by the lake, he preferred to climb to the side of the hill and set up his tent in a leeward place - although he forgot to bring a mountain bike, Xin Liezhi still brought a small off-road trailer with four wheels, and he had to drag a lot of things on the trailer - he was ready to fight a long war......
