Chapter 4 Entering the Mountains and Doubts

The three of them stayed in place, and the encounter just now had not subsided, and they still couldn't help but feel stunned in the face of this person in front of them. Wang Chengqiu seemed to react, the person in front of him needed to be treated, and as a doctor, he instinctively realized it.

"I'll go and see," he said, walking toward the man.

"Wait, don't get too close to him." Liu Xingye persuaded. Wang Chengqiu gestured to indicate that it was okay.

Wang Chengqiu walked up to this person, "Huh? It's a woman. The woman in front of her was wearing a brown tunic covered in blood, and a pair of dark green pants that looked very heavy, also covered in scratches. With her eyes closed and her face showing fatigue, it was clear that she had been in more serious danger or trauma than the three of them.

"What the hell is going on in this mountain......" Wang Chengqiu thought to himself.

"It's not from our village." Liu Industrial said. Only then did Wang Chengqiu realize that the two had already come along.

"Is it a madman?" Li Fangzheng asked when he saw the blood stains on her body.

"I don't know, but it's not quite like it." Wang Chengqiu said, "We have to save her." After speaking, Wang Chengqiu handed the back basket on his body to Li Fangzheng, and then picked up the woman on the ground.

"Let's go, we have to hurry back to the village." Wang Chengqiu said.

However, Li Fangzheng and Liu Shiye still seemed to have doubts about this woman, and they kept staring at her on the way back, for fear that she would wake up halfway and do something crazy. At this time, looking back at Yan Sheng Mountain at dusk, there is an indescribable gloom.

Liu Xingye picked up the pipe on the ground again and looked at Wang Yuan, who was sitting by the well. Wang Yuan realized that Liu Xingye didn't talk about it.

"Is my dad the one who saved my mom?" Wang Yuan smiled faintly.

Liu Xingye nodded and said, "After your father saved your mother, your mother lived with your father." Speaking of which, your mother is very beautiful, and there were many young men in the village who were jealous of your father, and some thought that your mother was deceived by your father. Liu Xingye recalled and smiled. Then, more than two years later, your dad married your mom. It was also very interesting at the time, after that incident, I and your father, as well as your Uncle Li, can be regarded as friends in trouble, and the day your father got married was also a happy day for me and Xiaohui, your Uncle Li and your Aunt Qin. The three of us got married in one day, not to mention how lively it was at that time. Speaking of this, Liu Xingye showed a smile, and Wang Yuan also noticed that this kind of happy smile is usually rare on Liu Xingye's face.

Obviously, if the story ends here, it will be a good ending. But in the end, there was an accident that they could not have predicted, the mysterious death of Wang Yuan's parents, and the death of Liu Shiye's wife. Sometimes the trajectory of fate is always so unpredictable, it can turn the originally arranged happy ending into a sad beginning, Wang Yuan shook his head helplessly when he thought of this, he didn't even know what kind of feelings to use to think about his parents who he had never met.

"How did my mom show up there then?" Wang Yuan asked.

"When your mother woke up, she didn't say anything at first. When we went to see her, she seemed to have encountered a lot of trauma and always deliberately hid from your dad, apparently she thought that only your dad could be trusted. It was a long time before she realized that we had no ill intentions, and she only spoke to us when we went to talk to your dad. But she didn't say a word about why she appeared on Yan Sheng Mountain. In fact, we also know that since the three of us experienced that incident, no matter why your mother appeared on Yan Sheng Mountain, she must have experienced the same thing as us, looking at her scars at that time, she may have experienced more thrilling things, she has experienced those things as a woman, and it is normal for her to be reluctant to mention them, maybe only your father knows. Liu Xingye took another puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled it.

"And then?" Wang Yuan then asked.

Liu Xingye was silent for half a minute and said: "After your parents got married, they began to go in and out of Yan Shengshan frequently, at first I thought they were going to collect medicine, but soon after your father gave up his career as a doctor. The people in the village are very puzzled that your father, who is usually enthusiastic, would give up his profession as a doctor. It didn't take long for the accident to happen, it should be in eighty-four years, one night, your father entrusted the newborn you to Li Fangzheng, and then went into the mountain with your mother, but that night, Yan Shengshan caught fire. The fire was so big that it even spread to the front mountain, and the place where the house was rebuilt before it was originally your parents' house was located, but that fire took everything away from them, except for you. It's been sixteen years, I don't have many real friends in this village, after your parents had an accident, I also quarreled because Li Fangzheng didn't keep your parents, and Xiaohui also died of illness a few years later. Sometimes I wish it was all a dream, that your parents were still alive and would come back one day and knock on the door of this house. ”

Wang Yuan stopped talking when he heard this, and he couldn't understand why his parents would leave him here and go into the mountains, and why the fire burned at that time, was it really a coincidence? If not, what can I do now?

"Let's go inside, it's going to rain." After Liu Xingye finished speaking, he walked into the house.

Wang Yuan looked up at the gloomy sky, a lightning bolt crossed the sky, and then a downpour of rain fell from the sky, and after a while, the cold rain soaked his whole person, and the outline of the mountain outside the wall gradually disappeared from the field of vision.

The next morning, Wang Yuan returned to Li Fangzheng's house, and for some time after that, Wang Yuan worked in Li Fangzheng's oil press factory during the day in order to persuade Li Fangzheng to let him go to school, and gradually he forgot about it until one day more than a month later......

On this morning, Wang Yuan was carrying bags of grain to Li Fangzheng's factory, and when he walked to the factory gate, a person stopped him: "Young man, let me ask you something, is Mr. Li Fangzheng here?" ”

Wang Yuan looked back and saw a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses standing behind him. "Yes, do you have something to do with Uncle Li?" Wang Yuan replied.

"Well, I'm a professor in the Department of History at XX University, and my name is Zhou An. I'd like to ask him something. The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Professor?!" Wang Yuan was taken aback and said, "You wait, I'll call him immediately." After saying that, Wang Yuan ran into the door with the bag of peanuts.

"What an energetic lad." Zhou An said with a smile.

After a while, Li Fangzheng followed Wang Yuan out. Li Fangzheng obviously didn't know this person either, so he stepped forward with some confusion and asked, "Hello, Professor Zhou, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"That's the case, do you know Wang Chengqiu?" Zhou An asked straight to the point.

Zhou An's words shocked Wang Yuan as much as seeing his father with his own eyes, and Wang Yuan was a little afraid to hear what he heard. Li Fangzheng was also stunned and didn't speak, Zhou An also seemed to notice it, and explained: "That's the case, I want to go to Yan Shengshan, I want to know something about Wang Chengqiu." ”

"Into Yansheng Mountain?" Li Fangzheng asked, he glanced at Wang Yuan next to him, and found that Wang Yuan was staring at Zhou An tightly, and that kind of look was .......

"Well, can Mr. Li spare half a day, I want to ask you about something." Zhou An said.

"How did you know about Wang Chengqiu?" Li Fangzheng asked.

"I learned about it when I came to the village to inquire about things." Zhou An said.

"Wait a minute, I'll lock the door and I'll talk to my house later." After Li Fangzheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the oil pressure factory. Wang Yuan noticed that Zhou An looked at Li Fangzheng and turned around, revealing an unbelievable smile.

Half an hour later, Li Fangzheng and Wang Yuan returned home with Zhou An.

"Yingzi, let your mother cook a few dishes, and you go with Wang Yuan to call your Uncle Liu." Li Fangzheng said to Xiaoying and Wang Yuan.

"Uh-huh." After Xiaoying finished speaking, she went to the courtyard and told Qin Xiuzhi.

"Who is this Uncle Liu?" Zhou An seemed a little surprised.

"He is a mountain watcher in the village, and he probably knows more about Yan Shengshan than I do." Li Fangzheng said.

"Is it Liu Xingye who is watching the mountain?" Zhou An said.

"Well, you've seen him?" Li Fangzheng said.

"I've come to the village to inquire, and I was going to find him after I got to know the situation from you, but if I can call him, it's best to call him. It's just that...... Why did Wang Yuan call him Uncle Liu? The people in the village say he's over fifty, don't they? Zhou An said excitedly.

"He's an old and unscrupulous one, and the whole village calls him that." Li Fangzheng said.

Wang Yuan was still a little reluctant, for fear of missing something during the time he left, but considering that Liu Xingye might know more things, he had to call again.

"Who's that guy?" As soon as Xiaoying left the house, she asked Wang Yuan curiously.

"A professor of history at some university, called Zhou An...... I came to inquire about my father, and it seemed that I was going into the mountains. Wang Yuan replied.

"Inquire about your dad? Didn't your dad pass away..."Xiaoying was a little surprised.

"......I don't know," Wang Yuan said.

"Why did Professor Zhou go to Yan Shengshan? You can't get into that mountain. Xiaoying said.

"He's a professor, he shouldn't be as superstitious as the people in the village, he must know... Or if you can deduce the secret on Yan Sheng Mountain, it seems that the truth is about to be revealed. The corners of Wang Yuan's mouth curled up into a smile.

"When you say that, I also have some expectations~" Xiaoying said as she looked at the mountains in the distance.

"Anyway, we need to hurry." After speaking, the two of them quickened their pace.

Half an hour later, Wang Yuan and Xiaoying came to Liu Shiye's old house, at this time Liu Shiye was sitting at the door smoking, he had long noticed Wang Yuan and Xiaoying walking up the mountain, but he didn't know what the two people were doing at noon.

"Uncle Liu is good~" Xiaoying said.

"It's Yingzi and Wang Yuan, what are you two doing here at noon?" Liu Industrial said.

"It's a long story, there is a professor from Uncle Li's house, and Uncle Li asked you to come over and have a meal by the way." Wang Yuan said.

"Professor? What professor......" Liu Xingye asked.

"A professor of history at some university, it seems that he wants to study Yan Shengshan, and he also mentioned my father's name." Wang Yuan said.

"Study Yan Shengshan? Okay, I'll go now. After Liu Xingye finished speaking, he locked the main door of the house when he entered the courtyard, and asked Wang Yuan to go down the mountain.

"The gate is reserved for rhubarb again, Uncle Liu?" Wang Yuan asked.

"Rhubarb doesn't know where to go, leave a door for it." Liu Industrial said.

"Hey...... Uncle Liu, you should also keep the main entrance of the house for Rhubarb, in case it wants to sleep on the kang? Xiaoying also made a joke about Liu Xingye.

"Alas...... Yingzi, you always stay with Wang Yuan, and you have learned badly. Liu Xingye also pretended to put on a very aggrieved expression.

"Hahaha......" and all three laughed.
