At seven o'clock, people came out one after another, and this point was already late for the countryside, and the man in the suit surnamed Qian also changed his outfit, wearing camouflage uniforms and military boots that were still popular at that time, and his spirit was completely different from yesterday.

At half past seven, at the request of the party, Father Miao took those people into the mountain. The fat man was finally rejected, and the other party's attitude was very tough, on the grounds that this was a national survey and mapping terrain, which was confidential.

I heard the fat man complaining to Cha Wenbin from afar: "Confidential ball, we haven't climbed any hill in this place!" Take a red medal to scare Lao Tzu, the ghost knows that the radish is carved from time to time. ”

"If I don't let you go, I won't follow behind, this mountain is so big, can he still control us to see the scenery?"

"That's right, Xiao Yi goes, let's go climb the mountain, it's not illegal, they go south, let's go too." The fat man took my hand and left.

Just as he was about to go out, he rushed in in a hurry outside the house, and he opened his mouth and called Daddy Miao without even breathing. I know this person, I played with us when I was an educated youth, my name is Xizi, and I am the same age as us.

I saw that his face was a little wrong, and there was panic in his eyes, so I said to him: "Father Miao is not here, and the guests from Beijing have entered the mountain, Xizi, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"My dad is lost, I can't find anyone, I don't want to let Daddy Miao broadcast it, I'm dying, my mother has been crying all morning."

"Uncle Niu is lost?" I comforted: "How can he lose it when he's so big, I guess there's something wrong with where to go, don't worry." ”

Xizi turned around and walked to the village office opposite: "How can you not be in a hurry, something must have happened!" ”

I followed it and learned something: this Kiko's father was hunting in the mountains last night, and no one came back to the mountains until this morning after dinner. Hunters had disappeared in the early years of the Savage Tun generation, and it was later confirmed that they were basically bad, and there were fierce beasts such as bears and tigers in the woods here, and Kiko was worried that something had happened to his father.

"The door is locked, don't smash it, no one is there." I said to him, "You might as well mobilize the people in the tunzi, and we will go door to door to inform and gather at the entrance of the village in a while." ”

"Okay, then do it!" Kiko wiped away a handful of tears and ran home, and we began to split up to find someone.

This is good in the countryside, as long as there is something to say hello, they will stand up, and after a while, more than 20 young adults came to the entrance of the village, as well as a few hunting dogs, Miao Lan's man is also there, he is the captain of the mountain patrol team.

The general situation has been said, but there are two details that have caused more concern to everyone, last night when Xizi's father entered the mountain with a hunting dog, and before leaving, he said that he was going to hunt pheasants. The hunters in the tunzi know that the time to hunt pheasants is generally seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and when it is dark, the pheasants will fly up to the treetops to sleep.

Pheasants generally do not go into the mountains, just in the nearby woods, if there is movement, everyone can hear it, but last night no one heard the gunshots, this is one of them; The second is that the hound that had gone with Kiko's father was found on a small dam in the river by a couple of women who were washing clothes in the morning, and it happened to be stuck in two stones, and the body was now in front of us.

No obvious injuries were found on the dog's body, the eyes were open, the tongue was dragged outside, and the dog's neck was visibly elongated when someone picked it up.

Miao Lan's man touched it with his hand and said, "The neck is broken." ”

There was an exclamation at the scene, and the neck of a hunting dog was directly twisted, which seems to be something that only a black bear can do, could it be that Xizi's father met that thing?

Kitayama produces a variety of mushrooms and hazelnuts, and women go to Kitayama to pick them in groups during this season. There is a hazelnut forest over there, and the hunters in the tunzi say that there is the point of the old pheasant, and there is a place name in that forest: Qingzhuangang.

Savage Tun is located in the remote area of the material is very scarce, when first came people mostly choose to use wood and thatch to build houses, before and after liberation, some people found a lot of discarded bricks in Beishan, different sizes, so there are many people from Beishan to pick bricks back to build houses. Some of these bricks are buried a meter or two deep in the ground, while others are exposed directly to the surface and can be picked up by peeling off the leaves.

Later, some people said that these bricks were afraid that they were used on the graves of the dead, and the villagers were more superstitious, so they did not go there to get bricks, but instead burned the bricks in their own kiln.

Yesterday evening, someone saw Xizi's father going there, the green brick gang is only two miles away from the tunzi, you can see it in the tunzi, it can also see the tunzi, through a deciduous forest and then the open land. Corn used to be grown here, and behind this corn field is a hazelnut forest, a hill that looks like a steamed bun.

This is also one of the sources of the river in Tunzili, but unlike Xishan, the tributaries of this river are slightly smaller and the current is slightly faster. As soon as a few hounds arrived, they began to bark non-stop, and several waves of us divided into two or three to form a fan and began to search the mountains. Here I want to say that according to the area, the top sky is the size of a football field, and more than 20 people searched from morning to night, and found nothing but half a steamed bun.

Kiko said that his father brought two steamed buns when he went out, and when he saw this thing, he immediately cried and insisted that his father must have let the bear gnaw it. This forest is not big, it has been swept back and forth so many times, when it is going to be dark, we can only go down the mountain first, and when we return to the village, Miao Daddy is also there, after learning what happened, I organized a group of people to go into the mountain with torches to continue searching, until the second half of the night there are still no clues, this can make the people in the tunzi anxious, no one has been affected by the bear for nearly 30 years, if there is really that thing infested, the surrounding forests are not safe.

"It's a little weird" Cha Wenbin lay on the ** and turned over and said: "I don't think Xizi's father was killed by a human bear, we haven't seen a man-bear footprint or feces for a day, and that dog, if it is a beast, it will definitely have external injuries, why would it directly break the neck." ”

The fat man didn't sleep, and took Cha Wenbin's words and said, "What does Cha Ye mean?" ”

Cha Wenbin asked rhetorically: "If it was a person who directly broke the neck of that dog, what did you say that person was for?" ”

"It must be afraid of being discovered, the dog will bark when it meets people, and it will be alarmed when it barks."

"Okay, what are you afraid of alarming? This tunzi is so many people in total, which family doesn't know where the ugliness of which family is, what does it have to be ruthless? ”

"That's someone from outside!" The fat man kind of understood what Cha Wenbin meant, I was in charge of monitoring the opposite side at that time, and the fat man came to me and said, "Xiaoyi, is there any movement on the other side?" ”

"No, it's the same as yesterday, everything is fine." I've been staring at the other side for almost two hours, and the lights go out at seven o'clock, and the door is still closed, and no one has ever come out.

"That's not normal." Cha Wenbin came over and said: "Since yesterday to now, no one has come out at night on the other side, and the toilet in the village office is outside, so don't the eight of them have to get up at night?" ”

The fat man squinted and said, "Then go over and take a look?" ”

From here to the village office is only about 20 meters, we cats bent on their waists and slipped a cigarette to arrive, we are too familiar with this place, we did not go in to destroy it back then. The two-metre-high wall of the village office was filled with broken glass, which was the most popular anti-theft measure at the time, and we still used the old method.

There is a jujube tree outside the office, one or twenty meters high, one meter away from the wall, climb the tree and use a ** quilt to build on the wall, there is no problem, and it will pass in a jump.

After the fat man landed, he said coldly: "It's still a familiar routine......

This office was built in the 60s, with two floors, the first floor is the office area, and the second floor is the dormitory for the Nabo people. The fat man is good at doing this kind of work, and although he is in shape, he can walk without making a sound as long as he takes off his shoes, which he blames on the thick soles of his feet.

There are a total of four rooms on the second floor, the doors are locked, and the windows are pasted with newspapers, so that the inside is not visible from the outside. But this is not difficult for him, this last century lock can be opened with only one card, and it can be opened by inserting it diagonally through the gap in the door frame.

"Squeak", the fat man tiptoed in, and we saw him on the first floor and after a while he came out and shook his head at us, meaning empty.

Then came the second and third gates, and when the fourth door was also pried open by him, he could finally shout to us with confidence: "No one, not one!" ”

"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Cha Wenbin said.

The fat man turned to go downstairs, paused and said to us, "However, I think you'd better come up and take a look, there are a lot of things here that shouldn't be there." ”

Cha Wenbin and I also rushed up, and the fat man led us into the third room, where there were a lot of things on the ground: professional ropes, broken Luoyang shovels, and one thing that Cha Wenbin didn't want to see: a small straw man with two steel needles in his chest. There was a note behind the straw man, on which was written the name of Daddy Miao and his birthday.

"What to do? Do you want to light all their things first? ”

"Don't." Cha Wenbin took the straw man and squeezed it tightly and said: "Now to move is to fight the grass and scare the snake, these people are very dark, they really want to make trouble, I am afraid that there will be deaths and injuries of the villagers, now they are just using some small tricks, and everyone is standing still before tearing this layer of window paper." ”

The fat man took the Luoyang shovel and said: "This group of people is a tomb robber, it seems that they have already hit the pit last night, it is estimated that it is not easy, and the drill has been interrupted." ”

Cha Wenbin asked the fat man: "I remember one thing, is it right that the person said that his surname is Qian?" ”

"That's what he said."

"Are you sure you're from Sichuan?" "Sure, that accent didn't have to run."

"Xiao Yi, you still have to Uncle Qiu in the tunzi, just the one who raised the black cat, he was the first to come to this tunzi, and the person who brought him here at that time was also surnamed Qian!"

When Cha Wenbin said this, I also felt a little strange: "I remembered, yes, he said that the person was called Qian Ratye, and he seemed to be the only one who escaped at that time, he was from Sichuan!" ”

"That's right, that money rat master found this place all the way from Sichuan at any cost, but he returned with a feather, but he did see the gold coin. Now that decades have passed, and so much wealth is still here, who can guarantee that they will not make a comeback? ”

The fat man said: "According to what Uncle Qiu said back then, Master Qian Rat was scared and urinated, and he dared to come?" ”

"He's definitely gone, but his descendants are still there." Cha Wenbin continued: "Why have no outsiders come again for so many years, in fact, there must have been a matter of gold here in Sichuan, but in view of what happened to the Qian Rat Ye back then, there has been no good way, and now that they are here, they must have come prepared, and after so many years of preparation, I estimate that they have found a way to crack it." ”

"Makes sense! So are we going to follow up tomorrow? ”

"Track!" Cha Wenbin said categorically: "Yes, we will wait at the door before dawn tomorrow, since someone is exploring the way for us, then we don't have to turn around again." ”

Say:

Good night, I'm back in Hangzhou, the holiday is over, and my neck is much better
