The family of the deceased cleaned up briefly, and finally called someone to carry the body away at noon, and the seven gathered to discuss what to do next.

Chen Lao, as a representative of Yuecheng, was naturally the first to speak: "This village is very abnormal, not to mention the shadow moon, missing, even if there are demons lurking in the fog, we are destined to not be able to stay here for a long time, we need to find the missing person as soon as possible and leave." ”

After saying this, everyone present nodded their heads, and no one wanted to stay here longer.

"The old man's opinion is that everyone should divide into three ways and go to the doctor and the missing squad separately, so that the efficiency can be improved somewhat. Chen Lao said, "I thought about it last night, and the doctor has been missing for the longest time, and I am afraid that his life is slim." Therefore, the focus of our rescue operation is on the missing team members. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Lao looked at everyone again, and everyone agreed, he had been missing for nine days, and even if he was hungry, he would starve to death.

Chen Lao arranged: "So that's how I arranged it, Boss Yang took Xiao Lin Xiao Zhang to the woods at the head of the village to look for it, I took Qin Yeyou to the back of the mountain to go around, Xiao Shen and Xiling collected information in the village to see what information there was about them." ”

Shen Qingming is naturally no problem, there is no difference between searching for information in the village and staying idle, it would be better if the mobile phone had a signal and could connect to the Internet.

Yang Xu has no problem here, the teams on both sides have people from their respective offices, so there is no need to worry about any mutual harm. What's more, the people in Yuecheng are the bosses, of course, what the boss says and what they do.

Before leaving, Elder Chen specially told them: "Everyone go back to the village before dark, and don't stay outside for long." In any case, your own safety should come first, and don't put yourself in danger for the sake of indifferent things. ”

Qin Yeyou also tilted his head and told Yang Xu Shen Qingming to take care and be cautious.

After seeing the two groups of them go out separately, Shen Qingming also began to complete his task to investigate the hidden information in the village. The village is still a little angry during the day, and there are children playing in the streets.

"I didn't expect this to be a ghost village. Xiling looked at the children on the side of the street and smiled, "Where there are children living in them, eighty percent of them will not be too scary." ”

A rational person like Xiling also has times when motherhood bursts out.

"Poof, what's that expression on your face, are you holding back a smile?" asked Xiling.

Shen Qingming pretended to rub his nose and said, "Ahhh ”

There were children singing on the corner of the street, and Shen Qingming and Xiling listened quietly.

The children sang about a group of travelers coming here, one of them recklessly entering the mountains and forests, and the other returning to their hometown after being lost. The three of them entered the ancient temple together, and woke up that it was no longer in this world. One went with the fog, one fainted and died, and one did not speak, and all their lives were at rest.

Shen Qingming was puzzled: "What are you singing..... How can there be such a weird nursery rhyme?"

"It's not like a children's song, it's more like a prophetic poem. Xiling said.

"It's not a nursery rhyme, it's not a poem. "I don't know when the child has appeared in front of them," is a proverb that has been passed down hundreds of years ago. ”

Shen Qingming was taken aback by this child, the child in front of him had a serious face, it could be said that he was a young man and an old man...... How do you feel older than yourself?

The child stared at them and said, "I suggest you go back early, this is not the place you should be." ”

"Uh...... Children, have you seen the missing doctor in the village, or a group of outsiders who have recently arrived here?" asked Shen Qingming, squatting down.

The child shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, let alone seen it." In the end, I advise you to leave quickly, which can be regarded as fulfilling the righteousness of my Buddha's good life. ”

Shen Qingming: "That...... You're really a teenager and an old man. ”

"Young and old, old and ......" the child said and sneered, looking at the child who was obviously in his teens, and there was a faint decay of a hundred years old on his body.

I really don't know what to say to this kid anymore.

Xiling touched his head and smiled at the child: "Now, little brother, do you have any story to tell?"

If you want to say that men, they have always been the same creatures. Up to a hundred years old, down to seven or eight years old, I can't resist the request of a good-looking girl. If a girl's request is always denied, Bacheng has to consider whether he is a little ugly.

"Hmm..... It's been a long time since I've spoken to anyone, so it's better to talk to you outsiders. The child really couldn't refuse Xiling's request, "Do you know the origin of Luming Village?"

Shen Qingming replied: "The village formed by the Miao people relocated from Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty for the edge of the town?"

"Yes, it's just that the Miao people have ill intentions and have a relationship with the Blue Sect in private, wanting to sacrifice the innocent and sacrifice the evil god of wisdom that the Blue Sect believes in. Fu Yuan, the local general, led a battalion of soldiers and horses to quell the chaos, but he was hit by the Miao people's demon magic array, and thousands of men and horses were about to become sacrifices to summon the god of wisdom. The child said.

This was not written on the stele before, Fu Yuan didn't expect it to be such a heroic figure.

The child continued: "At the critical moment, the Heavenly Master in the formation fought for his life, killed the Array Eye Miao people, and broke this formation. For a while, the sky and the earth moved, the demon fog was everywhere, and the whole village disappeared, and only Fu Yuan walked out of the mountain a few days later, and since then the official fortune has been prosperous. ”

"How do you know all this?" asked Shen Qingming after listening to the story.

The child said, "The old things in the village are just passed down by word of mouth." It is a lot more comfortable to talk to you today, but you must not talk about this matter with the people in the village, just talk casually with the people outside the village, if you can pay tribute to the innocent brothers who died with cigarettes and alcohol, it will be very good. ”

"Who the hell are you?" asked Shen Qingming.

"Good people. ”

There was a thunderclap in the distance, and the sky soon became gloomy, and a torrential rain was about to come.

The child took a few steps back and said, "It's going to rain, it's time for me to go home, be careful." ”

Before he could say anything, the child had already run away. Shen Qingming didn't want to chase after him, so he followed Xiling back to the health center to hide from the rain.

The old Chinese medicine doctor sat at the door reading the newspaper, and when he saw them, he said hello, and then went to read his newspaper.

Xiling went back to the house, took out her thermos cup again, and stood in front of the door to watch the rain.

"Are your hands cold?" Shen Qingming asked, this kind of action is often seen in the group of old men and old ladies, hugging a thermos cup and chatting for a day.

"It's a little, I've been weak since I was a child. Xiling said, "If you think too much about things in your head, your body will be extremely weak." Look at the rain scene once in a while, and take a break for yourself. ”

Shen Qingming said: "Then I should be glad that I am not very smart?"

"You're not stupid, at least you're self-aware. Xiling's eyes smiled into a slit, but Shen Qingming's heart was warm when he smiled.

Shen Qingming complained: "I thought you were going to say that you are not very stupid, at least you are quite handsome." ”

Xiling mended the knife: "You're not very stupid, at least you're quite shameless." ”

I said. The old Chinese medicine doctor interjected, "Don't flirt with each other first, let's see if there is someone in the rain?"

Someone seems to be there, and it's definitely not hanging out on a rainy day, maybe you need help. Shen Qingming hurriedly ran over to help the man over to avoid the rain, and when he got closer, it was as unexpected as a thunderbolt from the sky, that person was Han Chen, who had been missing for a long time, and the captain of the missing squad before.

Shen Qingming and Xiling hurriedly helped Han Chen into the health center. Han Chen was unkempt and extremely embarrassed, no matter how others asked him, he didn't say a word, just wrapped tightly in a blanket and trembled, it seemed that he was greatly stimulated.

After examining one side, the old Chinese medicine doctor said: "The person has no external injury, but he has been greatly affected mentally, and he has committed hysteria. ”

Shen Qingming sighed: "The most critical person has been found, but the person is crazy again, it is really a creation to make people." ”

"You can't profile, and there is no value in observing a sample without reason. Xiling looked at the crazy Han Chen for a while, and hung his head in despair.

Shen Qingming asked: "Can't the information on the body be analyzed?" I read what Sherlock Holmes said, according to the soil, you can analyze where a person goes. ”

Xiling picked up the thermos cup and said, "That's Sherlock Holmes, the detective in the novel." I am Xiling Heng, and I am not called Xiling Moss. ”

It was indeed an excessive request, Shen Qingming's heart moved slightly, and he did give her a lot of pressure.

"That..... I'm sorry. Shen Qingming scratched his head and said.

"Huh?" Xiling looked at him puzzled.

Shen Qingming: "It's too much pressure on you." ”

"No, look out the window. Xiling said.

Thanks to the rain, it was dark early, and the fog rose again. But this time it was different from last night, and this time the fog was just like a charge. The old Chinese medicine doctor put away the newspaper and closed the main entrance of the health center.

"Why did this fog come so quickly, it seems like it was looking for us. Shen Qingming said.

Before the words fell, I saw that the fog was growing desperately, and it actually came through the crack in the door, and then a little mist spread into a fog, which grew in the corridor of the health center. Inside the fog visible to the naked eye, something else shuttles back and forth in it.

The old Chinese medicine doctor was dumbfounded: "This, this, this, what's going on?"

"Run. Shen Qingming reacted quickly and ran into the depths of the corridor with Han Chen.

The fog stretched its tentacles as if it were alive, following the movements of the few living people in the room. Shen Qingming ran into the innermost ward in the corridor, and when the old Chinese medicine doctor from Xiling came in, he snapped the door shut.

"Window..... Window. Xiling ran out of breath.

Shen Qingming understood, pulled the sheets on the hospital bed, and blocked all the gaps along the corners of the window. The old Chinese medicine doctor shook off his arms and moved the hospital bed, blocking the main entrance of the ward. Han Chen was still stupid and stupid, not realizing that the moment was already between life and death.

In the blink of an eye, the mist had enveloped the health center, and it began to squeeze the room, the door panels creaking, and the glass of the windows appeared crystalline patterns.

Shen Qingming suddenly relaxed in this situation, life and death are rich and noble, and blind nervousness will not help, anyway, before coming here, he carefully left a suicide note, and he was alone without worrying, if the money from the last event was not spent, it would be donated to the orphanage.

There was the sound of sawdust peeling, and the door didn't hold out for long.

"Don't be nervous. Shen Qingming patted Xiling's shoulder, "I'm here." ”

"You're nervous too. That being said, Xiling's shoulders didn't shake so much.

The old Chinese medicine doctor also sighed: "You ..... You guys aren't afraid of death. ”

The door nails began to fall down one by one, and the cold mist could be clearly felt through the door. If they could stand outside and look at it at this time, they would find that the outline of the clinic was getting lighter and lighter, and it was moving towards nothingness.

At this moment, the old jade hanging around Shen Qingming's neck began to heat up sharply, constantly attracting the mist to converge. The parasitic things in the fog were overjoyed, and they swarmed together, all glued to the door panel, waiting for the fog to press open the wooden door. Waiting and waiting for them began to realize that something was wrong, their life force flowed out with the mist, but their body could only stay there honestly, motionless. The mist escaped away from the jade stone, which was a bit spectacular.

Of course, the people in the room didn't know anything, just watched the fog slowly fade.

"Is it over?" After making sure that the fog had left the health center, Shen Qingming pushed the door open.

The old Chinese medicine doctor came out and said, "Tsk, why are there cicadas on the back of this door?
