The middle-aged uncle glanced at me expressionlessly, did not move, did not speak, bypassed me, and continued to walk up.

"Uncle, you can't go up, there is danger on the mountain." I shouted, and was about to go up to stop him, when Xiao Hei suddenly grabbed me from behind.

Xiao Hei's face was very strange, and he stopped talking.

"Blackie?"

"I know that man," said Xiao Hei in a deep voice.

"You know him? Who is he? ”

"He's—" Xiao Hei shook his head and sighed, "Do you remember that my mother was arrested because she slashed someone?" The man who was slashed... It's the man who just walked by! ”

"What," I was surprised, "so that man turned out to be the manager of the Meishan Tea Plantation... He should know what happened on Meishan, so what is he doing on Meishan today? ”

Xiao Hei was speechless.

Looking at the back of the middle-aged man in the distance, I said categorically: "Let's follow!" This man is suspicious to go up the mountain today, and he knows something we don't know! ”

Xiao Hei nodded.

We walked briskly towards the middle-aged man.

"Uncle! I didn't lie to you, it's really dangerous up the hill and you can't go up! ”

"We just came down from above, and something kept chasing us!"

"We can't let you go up and die, turn back, uncle!"

…………

"Uncle, I told you so much, but you replied! …”

The middle-aged man, probably annoyed by me, finally spoke: "Young man, I know what is on the mountain, and I know very well what I am doing. Thank you for your kindness, and you might as well go back. ”

The middle-aged man's expression was faint, and he was not frightened by me at all.

"If you know what's on the mountain, why are you going up?" I asked him, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"No one is not afraid of death, but it's better than death..."The middle-aged man glanced at me, and his face finally showed some emotion, "Some things are more important, and they have to be done." ”

The middle-aged man said this, raised the bottle in his hand, and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.

Looking at the strange man in front of me, I felt in my pocket and continued to follow.

Xiao Hei didn't talk much along the way, and the man didn't seem to recognize Xiao Hei, I kept talking to him, maybe my enthusiasm infected him, and his words gradually increased.

"Uncle Wu, what are you going to do when you go up the mountain?"

The middle-aged man told me that his surname was Wu, and he also told me that he had been the caretaker of the Meishan Tea Garden, but he was silent when he heard my question.

I thought to myself that he might have something unspeakable, and hurriedly said, "If it involves *, then I'm sorry, I'm rude." ”

Master Wu waved his hand: "Young man, I can see that you have a warm heart." You are not embarrassed, I went up the mountain because my wife's birthday is coming, she liked the little red flowers on this plum mountain the most when she was alive, and I came up to pick a bouquet of flowers for her. ”

Before death? …

"That's... Your wife, she..."

Master Wu smiled faintly, but that smile looked a little sad: "She has been dead for more than two years, and today happens to be her birthday..."

More than two years...

My heart moved, could it be that the death of Master Wu's wife was also related to the Meishan murder case? …

"Master Wu, please forgive me for being rude..."I pursed my lips and said solemnly, "Is your wife's death related to the murder that happened on Meishan two years ago?" ”

"Looks like you don't know much, who are you?" Master Wu glanced at me, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I am—" I glanced at Xiao Hei and decided to tell a lie, "Master Wu, you also know the danger on this Meishan Mountain, and I won't tell you anything, I risked my life to go up the mountain in order to find out the truth about the case that happened on Meishan two years ago." One of my relatives was the victim of that case! ”

"Oh?" Master Wu didn't stop walking, but his expression was a little emotional, "It turns out that you and I also have some sympathy." My wife... That's when he was killed..."

I glanced at Blackie. Xiao Hei also heard Master Wu's words, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Can you tell me about the process? I want to get to the bottom of that case..."I said.

Master Wu shook his head: "There's nothing to say, since your relatives are also victims of that case, you naturally know the government's gag order." Moreover, after so long of that case, I don't want to look into it. Even if the truth is found out, my wife... There will be no resurrection..."

Looking at Master Wu's happy appearance, I was very anxious.

This middle-aged man risked his life to go to Meishan, just to pick a bouquet of small red flowers that he liked before his death for his deceased wife, and his courage and love for his wife are admirable.

But it may be that he is too affectionate to his wife, not only does he not care about his life and death, but he also loses interest in other things.

That's not good news for me.

Master Wu ignored my question, and after a while, we arrived at the top of Meishan Mountain.

That 'thing' was nearby, and Hei and I were starting to get nervous. Master Wu didn't care, and walked to a garden easily.

"The flowers here were still planted by us back then, but now they are all deserted!" Master Wu bent down, plucked a small red flower out of the weeds, and put it in the bottle he brought, which contained water to prevent the little red flower from withering.

We stood behind Master Wu and watched him carefully hold the bottle as if he were his own child. I looked at Blackie, and his expression was also complicated.

I sighed in my heart, the Meishan murder case two years ago ruined too many people and too many families! I made up my mind that no matter what that 'thing' was, I would find a way to destroy him!

"Master Wu! Have you ever thought about revenge? I said suddenly.

"Revenge?" Master Wu didn't look at me either, turned his head and walked towards the way he came, "Who to report?" My wife was hacked to death by a crazy policeman! The crazy policeman also committed suicide in the end! Who do you say I will seek revenge? ”

I quickly stepped forward and stopped Master Wu's way: "Of course I am the one who started all this!" You wouldn't be unaware of the existence of 'it' on Meishan, right? ”

Master Wu reluctantly stopped: "I said young man, you are really a kraft candy!" I'm just an ordinary person, I'm not Zhong Kui, I don't have the ability to deal with it! The police can't do anything, what can I do as an ordinary person? ”

I grabbed Master Wu's arm and said quickly, "The police can't deal with 'it', but I do!" As long as I can figure out where 'it' came from, I'll have a way to deal with it! Master Wu, you are the party, I need your help! ”

"Can you deal with it?" Master Wu looked at me suspiciously.

"As long as I can figure out what it is, I can deal with it!" I say it categorically.

Although I am not completely sure, if I don't give Master Wu confidence at this time, he will not believe me.

Master Wu thought for a while, and finally said, "Then let's go down the mountain first, that thing may come out at some point!" ”

I was overjoyed and nodded in agreement. The three of us went down the hill, and the 'thing' didn't come out to attack us.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I asked, "Master Wu, can you tell us now what that thing is on Meishan?" ”

"That thing?" Master Wu shook his head, "No one knows where it came from. In fact, everyone is just guessing, and no one has ever seen what it is like! ”

I was a little disappointed, but I didn't show it: "Well, from what I've dealt with it, it's intangible. ”

"Have you dealt with it? So why are you okay? Master Wu looked at me in amazement.

I smiled: "I have the amulet. It doesn't dare to hurt me! Master Wu, since you suspect that there is that kind of harmful thing on the mountain, why don't you want to get rid of it? ”

"Why not?" Master Wu sighed, "After the police gave up the investigation, we all suspected that there was something unclean on the mountain, so we invited a Taoist priest to go up the mountain to do the work. But the result..."Master Wu was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "We invited a total of four Taoist priests before and after, and the first three Taoist priests not only failed to deal with it, but also went crazy in the process of doing it, only the last Taoist priest did not go crazy, but he only reluctantly retreated, he told us that the 'thing' on the mountain is very high, and it is not something he can deal with, and he advised us not to go up the mountain to provoke 'it'!" You say, those Taoist priests can't deal with it, what else can we do? Avenge? I can't think about it..."

It turned out that the people of the tea garden had asked a Taoist priest to deal with 'it', but they didn't succeed. After thinking about it, I asked, "Did the last Taoist priest say what its origin was?" ”

Master Wu shook his head and said, "At that time, we were waiting at the bottom of the mountain, and the Taoist priest ran down the mountain in a disgraced manner, and when he passed by us, he didn't stop, but only shouted, 'It's too powerful, the poor road can't deal with it, everyone run', and fled far away." As for what 'it' on the mountain, the Taoist priest was running so fast that we didn't even have time to ask him! ”

I was silent, and my heart was frustrated, could it be that after a long round of searching, we went back to square one? The origin of that thing, the most critical question is still unclear?

"Did 'it' come out of nowhere? Appeared on Meishan for no reason? With this question in mind, I casually asked.

Master Wu said: "I haven't done it before, I have worked in the Meishan Tea Garden for more than ten years, and there has never been a crazy murder before. ”

Didn't you have it before? My heart moved, and a little inspiration crossed my mind.

"I remember, the time when the first case happened two years ago should be around Qingming, right?" I asked. Master Wu nodded: "To be precise, on the night before the Qingming Festival, a worker who helped us pick tea suddenly went crazy and hacked another worker to death..."

"Master Wu, can you recall." I interrupted Master Wu a little impolitely, "Some time before the murder two years ago, did anything strange happen on this Meishan?" ”
