The entire village camp was silent, and there was not a single figure, as if everyone had disappeared out of thin air. However, there is a breath of life and freshness here, not like it has been dead for a long time.

We stood in front of the tent and looked left and right, but there was nothing but the milky white mountain fog as far as the eye could see. My excitement of eagerly looking forward to seeing Wang Xiaoyu was gone.

We carefully inspected the area around the camp again, and found a lot of stray footprints, and it seemed that there had been some kind of chaos here not long ago. Many people have once stepped on it in an orderly manner.

Yang Lin said: "Let's go to the village and maybe find something." ”

Now in our team, he has the largest official rank, and he is a young owner. Giving orders, of course, we have to listen. A few of us walked along the village road to the village. This mountain village is really poor, on both sides are wooden tile houses of different heights, the walls are made of yellow mud, and there are many weeds growing in the cracks of the walls, which looks dilapidated and desolate.

As we were walking, we heard a commotion behind the corner of the village road. We looked at each other and hurriedly ran over, Yang Lin and I were just about to rush out of the city when we got there, but we were pulled by the big man who came with us, he was very experienced, and said in a low voice: "Don't rush over, let's see." ”

We lay behind the wall and looked out.

I saw that the village road not far away was crowded with villagers, and there were about hundreds of people, men and women, old and young. Their expressions were very angry, and they were huddled in front of an old ancestral hall, shouting and scolding.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, there was a middle-aged man in a suit, wearing glasses, looking very gentle, and was persuading the villagers with a bitter face. This person is also from the village, and the suit he wears looks like he has rented it. It's so embarrassing to wear it on him. The upper body is in a suit, the lower body is green pants, the trouser legs are rolled up, and a pair of yellow rubber shoes stained with mud, the image is very unbearable.

He was pushed and shoved by the villagers, his hair was messy, his glasses were spent, and he was still trying to persuade him.

Some villagers scolded: "We elected you as the director, and you turned your elbow outward, saying!" How much did those city folks pay you for? You're a traitor decades ago. ”

The man with glasses was not happy: "Let's talk and talk, don't scold the villagers." I will endure whatever you say, but whoever wants to say that I am a traitor, I will play with whom! When the Japanese came, my grandfather left his hometown to hide from the laborers, who of you had this backbone? ”

At this time, the crowd was divided, and a man with a stubble on his face came out of it, wearing a set of dirty clothes that almost exposed his buttocks, and the whole person looked like he had just come down from the construction site. He said, "Lao Guan, listen to my advice, and quickly drive away all those people in the city." It was because of their indiscriminate trespass that the mountain god became angry, and the mountain monkey that had not appeared for many years came out again. It is likely that there will be another massacre of the village next, so many villagers, can you take this responsibility? ”

The village director who was called Lao Guan said: "Lao An, don't rely on yourself to have some Taoism, just incite the villagers to make trouble here. I'm telling you, make a mess, be careful of squatting on the fence! ”

Yang Lin and I glanced at each other and wondered in my heart, mountain monkeys? What's going on?

At this moment, I saw the door of the ancestral hall "creak" open, and some people walked out of it. My eyes are hot, because Wang Xiaoyu is among them. She was safe and sound, and in the crowd, although her face was a little pale, she seemed unusually calm in the face of the angry villagers.

The people hiding in the ancestral hall are what the villagers call city people, and they are also companions who came before us.

The first of them was a man of unknown age, possibly between 25 and 40 years old. The first impression is that he is very thin, like a hemp rod, and has a shaved head. As soon as I saw him, I somehow thought of Li Yang, their eyes were almost the same, and they all hid a sense of anger. This man is not amazing in appearance, but he is very imposing, and he is wrapped in an indescribable charm, very manly.

He walked up to the villagers and bowed his hand to the old An: "Mr. An, can you let us see the corpse?" We have all the equipment we have with us, and we may be able to find the clues of the murderer. ”

The villagers are shouting: "What is there to see, it is for the mountain monkeys to kill." You provoke the mountain gods, and the mountain monkeys come down to take revenge, and you are the broom star, get out of the village. ”

Lao Guan, the village director, was hoarse: "Everyone be quiet, if you have something to say, say it slowly." ”

The thin man said: "It's still uncertain whether it was a mountain monkey who did it, we should now put aside our previous suspicions, and the most important thing is to cooperate with each other to find the culprit." Otherwise, even if we're gone, those things will continue to do crimes. ”

This sentence obviously touched Lao An, he thought about it, and pressed the gesture at the villagers: "Everyone be quiet, let them see, and make meritorious contributions." Why did they make a mess, pat ourselves on the ass and leave, leaving us to suffer? ”

This surnamed An is quite prestigious among the villagers, and he is more effective than the village director.

The villagers immediately rushed over, surrounded Wang Xiaoyu and them in the middle, and walked along the village road together.

Yang Lin made a gesture, and we quietly followed.

After walking a short distance, there is an old thatched house at the intersection. This room looks very old, it is a dilapidated house, with yellow mud broken walls, and a thatched roof is erected on it, and some of the grass has fallen off, revealing the top shelf below.

The windows are two large holes, and the window frames are pasted with yellowed and worn newspapers. The door was heavily locked, and there were several large chains attached to the doorknob, and I don't know what was locked inside. At this time, it was broad daylight, and although there was a lot of sunlight, this room inexplicably gave people an eerie feeling.

Lao An walked over and said to the village director, Lao Guan, "Open it." ”

Lao Guan seemed to be very scared, and said tremblingly, "I can open it." He pulled out a keychain, took out one of them, and stabbed it in the keyhole for a spin. With a click, the lock opened.

He took the chain down with trembling hands, then gently pushed the door.

Originally, there were many people standing at the door, but as soon as the door opened, the villagers involuntarily took a few steps back, and their faces were full of hatred and horror. Maybe there's something scary hidden in there.

We were far away when we saw someone peeking into the house, then retracting his head, covering his nose with a pained expression.

It seems that the smell inside is very strong, and it is very uncomfortable.

Lao An made a gesture of invitation, and the thin man with a thin hemp pole had an indifferent expression, and went into the house with a flashlight. After a short time, I saw a light shining through the newspaper window, and a blurred figure was reflected in the window. From the posture, the thin hemp man was squatting on the ground, looking very carefully for something.

Immediately, a flash flashed in the house, and he was taking pictures.

After a while, the thin hemp pole walked out with a solemn expression and looked up at the surrounding mountains.

Lao An asked, how is it? See what's coming.

"Judging from the injury, it doesn't look like a human being. This matter is not only a matter for the village, but also for us, and we must cooperate to put an end to future troubles. Trust me, we have what it takes to fix this. If we blindly engage in internal friction, I am afraid that there will be more and more such things and they will become more and more intense. The consequences are unimaginable. ”

Lao An looked at his eyes, thought carefully, and nodded: "I believe you." I hope you show real skills. It is not easy for our villagers to grow up here for generations, and we don't want to leave our homes because of anything. ”

An old man in the villagers shouted, "The Japanese didn't drive us away back then." ”

"I hope the villagers will cooperate with us and stop sabotaging and obstructing us from entering the mountains." Thin Ma Pole said: "We have no malicious intentions, only by finding out the origin of those so-called mountain monkeys, can we uproot them and prevent future troubles." ”

Lao An waved his hand: "Let's talk about it, you guys go back." ”

They parted the crowd of villagers and came towards us. A few of us hurried over. Wang Xiaoyu was very surprised when she saw me coming, screamed, and ran over to grab my arm. When she realized that everyone was watching her, she immediately blushed.

Skinny hemp walked over and shook hands with us one by one. When he held Yang Lin, he nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, you are here." Yang Lin smiled: "Yao Bing, my father didn't misunderstand you, you handled it well." In the future, I will rely on you a lot. ”

"You're welcome." The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Yang Lin introduced to me: "This is Yao Bing, the commander-in-chief of our operation, a very experienced explorer and expert traveler hired by my father. ”

Yao Bing smiled: "I'm still far from it." ”

Yao Bing is a person who cherishes words like gold, and hardly says a word unless necessary. When we returned to the tent, Wang Xiaoyu was by my side, very excited, chattering and asking non-stop. When Zhilu said that I always called her and no one answered, and she was very worried, she said: "It's not that I don't answer, my phone is broken." ”

She said that when they first came, they had organized a survey in the mountains, but most of the people's mobile phones were inexplicably damaged, and they should have been interfered with by some strong signal.

She smiled and said, "You're worried about me?" I nodded. She was very happy, blushing and said, "You like me?" ”

I coughed dryly twice and digressed, "What happened just now?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu's mood suddenly became very bad: "Just yesterday, there was a murder in the village. The villagers said that it was our mountain exploration that angered the mountain god's grandfather, so they released the mountain monkeys and killed the people. ”

"What's the matter with this mountain monkey?" I asked.

Wang Xiaoyu said: "I don't know how to do it. However, it seems that the people of the village are angry, many years ago, the village suffered a catastrophe. The village was slaughtered by mountain monkeys, and it took so many years to gradually recover. ”

As we talked, someone poked their heads out of the tent and said, "Stop talking, the boss has a meeting." ”

I wondered, Yang Lin was really a bureaucratic and had a meeting when he first came. Wang Xiaoyu and I came out of the tent and saw a circle of people sitting in the open space in the middle of the camp, Yao Bing in the chairman's seat, and Yang Lin sitting next to him.

It turned out that the boss was referring to Yao Bing.

Yao Bing saw that everyone had arrived, and said, "I went to see the corpse just now." Here are the photos. He took out his miniature camera and passed it one by one, and there were several ladies in the line, all of whom looked at them with tight expressions and wanted to vomit. Especially Wang Xiaoyu, who glanced at the camera, immediately avoided his body and retched a few times.

I took it in my hand, looked down, and immediately felt a little sick to my stomach.

These are two female corpses, one large and one small. They were mutilated and died, all kinds of organs and limbs were mixed together, and the blood was so bloody that it was impossible to see which part belonged to whom. The reason why it can be judged that it is two women is because there are two clear heads in the photo. The death was miserable, each head had a big mouth open, as if shouting something, and his facial features were distorted.

The person who can do this, if he is still called a human, is absolutely dehumanized, similar to a beast. It is impossible for a normal human being to get down such a hand.

Looking at these two corpses, I suddenly had an eerie feeling, and a layer of goosebumps appeared all over my body. Seeing their open mouths, I suddenly thought of the strange voice recorded from He Ping's body.

A voice similar to a shout.
