18649777">(); After a brief rest, I took Wang Shan out of the hotel with me. []

We didn't know where to go to Xingshang Village, so we simply followed Feng Yuexin and Xiaoguang's routine and asked someone to find a hotel with mixed bathing in the neighborhood.

Just like the aunt in the hotel said. The person we looked for also said that there was no mixed bath here. If you must look for it, you have to go into the mountains and find the local residents, there are some villages close to the natural hot springs that have small family-style hotels, because there is only one hot spring pool, so there is no distinction between men and women, which is called mixed bathing.

I specially asked Wang Shan to mention the matter of "Xingshang Village", and most of the people who were asked laughed and said that it was just a legend, because no one had seen Xingshang Village reappear, and as for those disappearances, they thought that there were also people missing in other places. It would be ridiculous to attribute all the disappearances to hauntings.

Of course. There are also some people who believe in the storage of the star village, and these people kindly remind us not to go up the mountain at night, if we want to find a mixed bath, we should go at dawn, and if we get to the hot spring village, we should not wander around.

Wang Shan and I asked around for a long time, and the information we got was basically the same as what we asked in the hotel. And no one can be sure where the star village is. However, I asked Wang Shan to find some older people to ask, because I heard from the hotel aunt that Xingshang Village still existed fifty years ago, so those who are 7 or 80 years old must be able to tell a rough idea.

This change in strategy also had an immediate effect. We only looked for three old people to determine the approximate location of Xingshang Village, which, of course, was the site of Xingshang Village fifty years ago. The place was in a mountain more than a dozen kilometers away, and there was an abandoned shrine on the mountain, which was the only thing left in Xingshang Village.

However, the three old men warned me and Wang Shan not to go there at night, because there were some bad things on the mountain, and if they got into trouble, they would inevitably bring trouble to themselves. ($>>>, ''Small'')

I had come here to find trouble, so I wouldn't listen to their advice at all, and after thanking me, Wang Shan and I found a taxi, and then headed for the general direction where the three old men told us.

On the way, we asked the driver about the village of Hoshiyo-e ukiyo-e scroll ();.

The driver even knew about Xingshang Village, and he also told us that in fact, there are often some people who go to the abandoned shrine on the mountain to explore in order to confirm that Xingshang Village is **, but there are no ghosts there, and no one has found Xingshang Village, and all the people who go to explore have returned in vain.

The legend of Star Village is just something to frighten people, and there is no need to believe it - the driver also gave his opinion at the end of the conversation.

Ten minutes later, the driver drove us to the entrance of the mountain road, which is not particularly high, and there is a winding gravel road that leads to the mountain.

The driver told us that this gravel road does not lead to the shrine, and that you have to find your own way after going up the mountain, but the shrine is not difficult to find, as long as you are not afraid of wasting time, it is still easy to find it if you look carefully. After saying this, he also asked if we need to wait for us here, if we want to find a car in the mountains, we can't find it.

I stood at the foot of the mountain and looked into the mountain, this place was obviously not a village, let alone a hot spring, and it seemed unlikely that Feng Yuexin and Xiaoguang would come here. I had only planned to enter this mountain because of the clues provided by the three old men, but I really didn't think anything would be found here.

So after thinking about it, I decided to ask the driver to wait for me and Wang Shan at the entrance of the mountain road, and whether I found it or not, I needed a car to take me back to the hotel.

The driver didn't ask for any extra money, so he parked the car on the side of the road, while Wang Shan and I walked into the mountains on foot. (Novel)

The gravel road came to an end halfway up the mountain, and there was no formed road further up, so we had to continue between the grass and the trees. As we made our way to the top of the mountain, the shrine came into view, and it was on the top of a low hill behind us, and it was estimated that it would be enough to walk for ten minutes.

I glanced at the hill I was standing on this side and looked in the direction of the shrine, and there seemed to be something shaking on the mountain, because it was a bit far away, and there were trees blocking it, so I couldn't tell what the shaking thing was.

However, according to those old people, Xingshang Village should indeed have existed, and the people in the village are indeed dead, if the soul is not dispersed after death, then there should be yin qi wandering on the old site of the village, and it is normal to see some things in the mountains, but this does not mean that Feng Yuexin and they have an accident here, at least I don't think this little couple will go to the shrine to find some mixed bathing hot spring one-night stand: the little wife of a wealthy family ();.

The taxi was still waiting for us at the mountain crossing, so Wang Shan and I didn't grind here at the top of the mountain, but went straight down and started to head towards the top of the mountain where the shrine is located.

There was still no road on the hill behind, and it seemed that not many people had gone this way in the past few decades, and we finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and all we saw was desolation.

Trees and weeds occupy almost the entire mountain, and the dilapidated shrine is almost completely invaded by vegetation, and the only thing that is still well preserved is a large stone dog statue in front of the shrine.

I walked to the statue and patted the dog's head gently, the statue did not react, nor did I see any yin qi or other breath emanating, it seems that this statue does not contain the legendary land god or other guardian gods, it is just a stone, and I didn't see anything special on the way up the mountain, the shadowy things I saw on the mountain before may just be the shadow of a tree.

Wang Shan walked around the abandoned shrine and then asked me, "Is Xingshang Village here?" It doesn't feel like it anymore. ”

"It's definitely not like it, the village can't always be built on the top of the mountain, it should be somewhere down the mountain." As I spoke, I looked around the edge of the ruined shrine and looked down the hill to see where it was probably the former Hoshigami Village.

There was a small river easily visible from the mountain, and I followed the river downstream and soon came across a flat area in the middle of the mountain. The vegetation there is relatively sparse, and the remains of some buildings can be faintly seen, although the old people did not specify the location of the star village in more detail, but I guess it should be there.

However, it is not a few minutes to get to the flat land from the shrine, and there is no road in the mountain, and the vegetation under the hillside is very lush, so it is easy to get lost on the mountain road, although you will not be trapped in the mountain, but it is not easy to find the flat land with the remains of the building without mistake. Estimate the blood of the year.

It's still early, at least 3 or 4 hours before it gets dark, I think even if the things you can see over there in the past now should be similar to the shrine here, except for the ruins are grass and trees, if Feng Yuexin is missing here, I'm afraid the police would have found them a long time ago.

"Forget it, let's go back, it's a waste of time here." I said to Wang Shan, and then returned in the direction I had come.

As we walked back to the entrance of the mountain road from the gravel path, the taxi driver immediately waved at us and asked if we had found Xingshang Village.

Wang Shan told him that he had found it, but he didn't find what we were looking for.

The driver nodded and smiled as a matter of course and said, "There must be no more, if there is really anything over there, the mountain will be closed a long time ago, how can people go in casually." ”

I thought what the driver said was very reasonable, so I also gave up continuing to follow the clue of Xingshang Village, and asked Wang Shan to ask the driver where to find a hotel with mixed bathing nearby.

The driver replied that he did know a few places and that it wasn't too far from here and that he could take us there if we wanted to.

I wasn't really going to try mixed bathing, I just wanted to find someone, and I asked Wang Shan to explain the purpose of our trip to the driver in detail, and then asked him if he could just be our chauffeur and take us through all the small hotels he knew of that offered mixed bathing hot springs.

The driver was still very talkative, he happily agreed, and then took us to the first small hotel in ten minutes.

The front of the inn is very small, and it feels like a home, but the word "soup" is written on the front door, indicating that there are hot spring baths.

As soon as Wang Shan and I got out of the car, a middle-aged woman dressed plainly came out of the hotel, Wang Shan went over to say hello to the woman, and then went straight to the topic and took out a photo to ask the other party if they had seen these two people.

The expression on the face of this middle-aged woman immediately changed significantly after seeing the photo, although Wang Shan hadn't translated for me what she was talking about, but looking at her expression, I knew that she had seen Feng Yuexin and Xiaoguang, and I could be 100% sure.

Sure enough, Wang Shan immediately said to me after chatting with the middle-aged woman: "Boss, you are too wise, Feng Yuexin and Xiaoguang live here, and the police have come here to look for people, they seem to have disappeared from here, and now there are still their things in the hotel." Also, Xiaoguang's father also found here, and now the person is gone, she has called the police, but the police have not found anyone. ”

This is such a coincidence, I thought that I might have to toss for several days and not find Feng Yuexin's whereabouts, but I didn't expect to find a clue so smoothly. According to the middle-aged woman, it seems that the local police also know a lot of information, and they might as well go directly to the police if they knew it.

But it doesn't matter, we found the hotel where the three of us stayed before they disappeared, and the next thing I have to do is move in and see if the strange thing that happened to me for no apparent reason is missing.
