Hearing Shi Liya talk about He Jie, the child's face changed drastically, and he looked very frightened. The crowd was amazed, and the boy turned and flashed out the door, slamming the door shut again.

Shi Liya was so strange that she only heard Li Bing say: "It seems that something really strange is happening here." ”

Shi Liya hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened a crack, and a middle-aged man showed half of his face, looking at everyone vigilantly.

Shi Liya hurriedly said: "This eldest brother, we are He Jie's friends, where is his home?" ”

A hint of fear flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and he said softly, "You are He Jie's friends?" This thing is really weird, the day before yesterday, like you, two women and three men also came to find He Jie. Something happened today, and I heard that He Jie took them into a cave and bumped into evil. ”

Shi Liya said in surprise: "Big brother, what's going on?" ”

The middle-aged man looked panicked and said, "Just this afternoon, they found out that a companion was missing. More than an hour ago, the missing man was found in a thatched hut in the village where firewood was piled up. But he's dead, and it's horrible to die. ”

Shi Liya exclaimed, "There is such a thing? Big brother, can you tell us more about the specific story? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I heard the people in the village talk about it, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to look at it." Go away, for they say that those people from the city have gone into the cave and angered the gods, and have been cursed, and it is terrible. ”

Li Bing was shocked and asked, "Did you report the case?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at Li Bing strangely and said: "We haven't had electricity here, we don't even have a phone, it is said that people from the city have come here, and there is no mobile phone signal, how can we go to the police station outside the mountain to report the case?" By the way, I was just about to ask you, now that there is a flood in the canyon, how did you suddenly appear at my doorstep? ”

His eyes were suddenly full of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "You guys, it won't be the great immortals of the past, right?" I'm an honest person, and I've never done anything immoral in my life, so I beg you to let me go, don't trouble me. ”

Li Bing was stunned, and then thought that the other party might regard his group of five people as mountain ghosts, which made him so frightened.

He said with a pleasant face: "This big brother, don't be afraid. A few of us are really friends with He Jie, because we made an appointment with him and came to his house as guests. I have been blocked at the third sister's house in the East Village for two days, and today I saw that the water in the canyon was a little smaller, and a few of us risked our lives to cross the river before we came here. ”

The middle-aged man looked at the letter suspiciously for a long time, and then reconnected to the topic and said: "There is another person in our village named Huang Shengjie, who is now the deputy director of the police station. Coincidentally, he went home for a vacation three days ago, just in time for this cursed murder, so he is investigating! ”

Li Bing's spirits perked up, and he asked eagerly: "Big brother, can you tell me how He Jie's family and Huang Shengjie's family go?" ”

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "There is no electricity in our mountains, and there are black lights everywhere at night." Seeing that it is already dark, and there are people here who have died, I dare not take you there. Fortunately, although each family is built on the mountain, and no one leads the way, although it is difficult to find a family, Huang Shengjie and He Jie's house is quite easy to find. ”

The man leaned out half of his body, pointed halfway up the mountain, and said, "Look at the highest part of our village, there are two families there. This is Huang Shengjie and He Jie's family, I think back then, their two families had a good relationship, and they were also the richest families in the village. The two families agreed to level the hillside, and the two families built a house on it. ”

It was only later that the two families had a conflict and became like enemies. It wasn't until Huang Shengjie's parents died from a cliff the year before last that this situation changed, and Huang Shengjie and He Jie became good friends. ”

Li Bing was about to ask about the auspicious situation, and the middle-aged man said: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm going to close the door, I advise you not to go to He Jie, it angers the ghosts and gods, and no one can afford it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a 'bang' and the door slammed shut.

Li Bing turned around and asked, "How is it?" Are you afraid? Do you want to go to He Jie's house? ”

Shi Liya said he: "Li Bing, you don't come to this set." Aren't you just showing off that you're completely right? That 'Seven Star Expedition Team' is exactly what we are aiming for. Everyone hurried away and went to meet Cao Jianwei. ”

In the village, almost every house is closed, and there is no one to be seen. Li Bing and the others were also happy, no one paid attention, and after a while, they came to the small hillside that had been leveled.

A path paved with cobblestones led straight to the slope, and Li Bing and the others had just climbed halfway up, when a cold voice came from above: "Who are you?" ”

Li Bing looked up and saw a young man in a police uniform standing on the slope, staring at his group vigilantly. He hurriedly replied: "Excuse me, you are Officer Huang Shengjie, right?" ”

The young policeman nodded slightly and asked arrogantly, "How did you know my name?" Haven't answered my previous question yet! ”

Li Bing said: "Officer Huang, a few of us are tourists from Shanghai, and we met a few young people on the road in Xi'an. They formed the 'Seven Star Exploration Group', and during the chat, they learned that they were invited by He Jie, a classmate from Xiaohuangzhuang in Shouyang Mountain, to come here to explore the Seven Star Cave. ”

"A few of us also like to be adventurous. After obtaining their consent, we will meet together to explore here. Although we drove, we missed the road and came two days later than them. Officer Huang, we just ventured across the canyon before it rained to get here. ”

"Seeing that it was dark, I finally found a family to inquire, and only then did I know that He Jie's family and your family are together. When I heard that something had happened here, the doors of their houses were closed, and no one dared to open them. We are not familiar with the place, and we can't find a place to stay, but we can't find it, so we have no choice, so we want to borrow a night from He Jie's house. ”

Huang Shengjie looked at the people who were drenched in the heavy rain, and his tone softened significantly. He sighed and said, "Well, you guys should go to my house first." Build a fire, bake your clothes, and don't get sick. ”

The crowd was happy, thanked him repeatedly, and followed Huang Shengjie to his home.

Everyone was surprised to find that Huang Shengjie's home was so big, there were about ten rooms alone.

Huang Shengjie called Zhang Yuanshan, and the two moved a large iron pot from under the eaves of the courtyard into the hall, and brought a pile of firewood from one room.

When the flame was blazing, everyone suddenly felt much happier. In the early autumn season, the stove is baked, and everyone thinks it is fresh and interesting.
