Zhang Cheng was temporarily asked by me to stay, and he should not be suspicious, but his ability is limited.

Those people blatantly committed crimes in Gambling Stone Town, and when they crossed the border river, the patrols of the two countries disappeared, and they easily kidnapped people to Greenstone Country, and I don't know if they have anything to do with the officials of Gambling Stone Town and the people of Greenstone Country. Now the only one who can help is Xu Yingjie......

Li Fan's second secret call called Xu Yingjie: "Hey, Yingjie, it's me!"

"Li Fan, why do you have time to call me? Aren't you playing in Yunxi Province with your Chen Meiren? Hehe!"

"Yingjie! there's no time to joke, we've been kidnapped!"

"What? Li Fan, you say it again!"

"We fell into a trap, a fake tour guide tricked us into going to Gambling Stone Town on the border of Yunxi Province, and kidnapped the three of us with drugs, I asked Zhang Cheng to stay in the hotel, he escaped and is now hiding. When the other party took us across the border river, I jumped into the river and escaped, and Meili and Lu Zhong were taken to the Greenstone Country by three people in a pickup truck!"

“...... So where are you now?"

"I just came up from the river, and now I'm calling you on the border river! There may be ghosts in the Chen family, the official of Gambling Stone Town, and the official of Greenstone Country in this matter, so I asked you for help!"

"Our Xu family has no relationship in the Greenstone Country, and the military of Yunxi Province is not only unfamiliar, but also a little contradictory, this matter is a bit tricky, let me think about it......"

"Yingjie! I know that letting your military send people across the border may cause a lot of trouble, you don't need to send someone to help me, you just need to provide me with the necessary technical support!"

"What do you need me to do?"

"You can help me check the satellite map of my current mobile phone location, see where the pickup truck that went to Greenstone just now, and then use the satellite to check the situation of the Jetta car that returned to Gambling Stone Town from the opposite river, and send me the secret chat!

"Okay, I'll check it out!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Fan continued to understand the surrounding terrain through the map software, and found that there was a village near the mountain about ten kilometers by the river that was closest to him, so he immediately ran in the direction of the village.

Worried that his whereabouts would be discovered by the kidnapping gang, Li Fan chose to walk through the hidden path in the woods, carefully avoiding the people along the road, but fortunately, there were relatively few people in this area, and no one was discovered along the way.

After spending nearly two hours, Li Fan finally approached the village and found a giant tree to climb on.

I looked around with the monoculars I carried with me, but I didn't find anyone, and when I was about to observe the situation in the village, my mobile phone vibrated to indicate that I had received a secret chat message.

First, I looked at the screenshot of the satellite map that Xu Yingjie had just sent through a secret chat, showing that the pickup truck finally entered a lakeside farm on the outskirts of Pachong, a border city in Greenstone about 100 kilometers from the border, and the text stated that the car never came out.

Because Greenstone is so poor, many of these houses built by local people can't find ownership information, Xu Yingjie said that he will keep an eye on the farm through satellites.

The Jetta drove into the underground parking lot of a shopping plaza in Gambling Rock Town, and it was impossible to determine whether it had left due to the high flow of people and traffic.

Then I saw the secret chat message sent by Zhang Cheng before, saying that he didn't dare to find a hotel in Gambling Stone Town, so he rented a rest room in a farmhouse restaurant in the suburbs outside the town, and made sure that no one followed him.

Li Fan replied that he should continue to rest there first, wait for his own notice, and not contact anyone, including his family.

After browsing the secret chat information, Li Fan picked up the telescope and carefully observed the village, and found that there were not many people in the village, and it was estimated that there were only dozens of people, all of whom were old and weak women and children, and there was not a single adult man.

Most of the people were busy washing clothes and processing produce, but a few elderly people and children wandered aimlessly around the village as if they had lost their souls, and ordinary people quickly avoided them when they saw them approaching.

I wanted to find a means of transportation and a mobile phone charger and leave quickly, but the strange phenomenon in front of me attracted Li Fan.

Those people are sick? I've never seen this kind of disease! Anyway, I'm going to go into the village to look for something, and by the way, see what's going on!

Thinking of this, Li Fan quietly approached the village, secretly looked for more than a dozen people's homes, and found that these villagers were very poor, and they didn't even have electricity at home, no household appliances, and of course no mobile phones and chargers.

As for the means of transportation, except for a few old animals that could not walk, all I saw was a dilapidated bicycle, and the family with the bicycle had only one old grandmother, who had been sitting in the hut where the bicycle was tending to freshly picked wild vegetables.

I didn't want to be discovered, so I quietly put down some money and pushed the bicycle away, but now it seems that she won't be able to leave for a while, so I can only talk to her......

Li Fan looked around cautiously and found that there was no one, so he walked generously to the door of the hut and said to the grandmother who was bowing her head to get vegetables in the house: "Hello, old man!"

The old lady was startled when she heard a stranger talking, raised her head and carefully looked at the big man covered in mud and water in front of her for a long time, and asked in Huanglong: "Who are you?

"Old man, you can speak Huanglong language is too good! I am from Huanglong, I was robbed by bandits, jumped into the border river and escaped, so I am covered in muddy water, I want you to borrow this bicycle to use? I can give you some Huanglong coins, you should be able to use it too." ”

As soon as she heard Li Fan say that she was robbed by bandits, the grandmother's eyes softened, and she looked at the embarrassed Li Fan again with kind eyes, and said:

"Young man, you are covered in muddy water, and there is a well behind my house, go and wash it! My son is about the same size as you, and I will change his clothes for you, okay?"

Li Fan had some suspicions in his heart, but he didn't show it, he agreed with a smile, and while going to the well behind the house to fetch water, he paid attention to the movements of this old woman, and when he saw that she really found a set of clothes, he secretly screamed ashamed in his heart and took the clothes.

After bathing and changing clothes, Li Fan washed his dirty clothes and hung them on the rope under the eaves at the back of the house, and came to the thatched hut to talk to his grandmother.

"Old man, where is your son? Why are there only old people and children in the village, and no young people?"

Hearing Li Fan's question, the grandmother's eyes turned red, and two lines of tears flowed down, and she said in a choked voice:

"My son and the young strong men in the village were caught digging jade stones in the mines on the nearby mountain, and I also have a daughter who was sent to the entertainment venues in Pachong City along with other young girls from the village......

When Li Fan heard this, his heart sank, and he asked: "Who are they you talking about? Are they so lawless, and the government doesn't care?"

The old lady wiped her tears and said: "Our Greenstone Country is different from your Huanglong Kingdom, you have a unified government, there will be no civil strife, and the basic safety of the people is guaranteed. ”

"All kinds of local forces in our Greenstone Country, large and small, are in their own way, and there are often civil wars for resources and territory, and the government in the capital is just an empty shelf on the surface, and they can't control local affairs. ”

"The jade mines in Pa Chong City and the mountains are controlled by several local warlords, our village belongs to a warlord named Dantuo, he used to be good, he will not harm us, somehow, three years ago suddenly changed, arresting people everywhere, my son and daughter were captured by him three years ago, and never came back......!

The old grandmother's words made Li Fan stunned for a while, he had only heard that the Greenstone Country was more chaotic before, but he didn't expect it to be so chaotic, and when the old grandmother wiped away her tears again, Li Fan asked: "Then what's the matter with those stupid and stupid people wandering around in your village?"

"Alas, this is a recent thing, every week one more person becomes stupid, these people are fine one day, the next day is like no soul, either infected with illness or evil, and when it is my wife's turn, the hard days will finally come to an end, and it is also a kind of relief......"

I wanted to mention the bicycle, but after hearing the old grandmother's words, Li Fan was a little speechless, and after pondering for a while, he said:

"Old man, people can't be so pessimistic, your son and daughter may still come back to you, so you must live well!

"A few people went to their house to see it, saying that there would be a pool of blood at the head of the bed, and these people also had a blood scar on the back of their heads, and there was nothing else, maybe they were bitten by some snake and insect and were poisoned, and the old woman next door to me was just changed last week, and now she is wandering outside every day, and there is no one at home, you can go and see it." ”

After listening to the old grandmother, Li Fan got up and came to another thatched hut not far from the next door, and before he entered the house, he smelled a very special smell, which he had never smelled before.

Due to the practice of meditation exercises, Li Fan's five senses have become much more sensitive than ordinary people, and he followed the smell to the firewood bed in the thatched hut, and sure enough, as the old grandmother said, there was a blackened blood stain on the bedside.

Those who become stupid should have been bitten by some kind of poisonous snake and insect, and they may be able to find it by following the smell, these old and weak women and children are quite pitiful, their children have been taken away, and they are plagued by this snake and insect, so help them by the way!

Thinking of this, Li Fan found an iron rod of about two meters in the thatched hut, and pondered again, snakes and insects were afraid of fire, and when he saw kerosene lamps and matches, as well as a large plastic bottle filled with kerosene, he took them with him, and walked towards the outside of the village along the special smell.

After walking in the forest for nearly an hour, the terrain began to get higher and higher, Li Fan entered the mountain, followed the smell to find a half-human-high cave hidden in the grass, looked left and right to see that there was nothing abnormal, lit the kerosene lamp and crawled in.

The outer entrance of the cave is very small, and the further you go, the wider it becomes, and after climbing five or six meters, Li Fan can already stand up and walk.

The cave is very dry, there is a little breeze, the ground and walls are all stone, there is no vegetation, it is not the same as the general cave, Li Fan judged that this cave should have another exit, so it is relatively dry and ventilated.

After continuing to walk for more than ten meters, Li Fan found that the road in front of him began to fork, and there were often some small caves of a few square meters to more than ten square meters on the rock wall, which were probably eroded by the ancient water flow.

So Li Fan checked one by one as he walked, and the forked intersections he walked through were marked.

After inspecting seven or eight small caves, Li Fan finally found a comatose adult man in a hidden horizontal rock crevice close to the ground.

Li Fan looked around cautiously, found no other abnormalities, and first poked the lying man with an iron rod, the man instinctively shrank for a moment, still unconscious, and did not wake up.

Li Fan stepped forward and looked at the man carefully through the kerosene lamp.

The man was burly, wearing a green camouflage uniform, with his eyes closed, a spider tattoo behind his ears, a scar on the back of his head that had been congealed for a long time, and the smell on his body, but it was relatively light, which was obviously not the source of the smell.

Li Fan saw that the man would not wake up for a while, so he continued to search one cave after another, until he checked all the large and small caves, and only found a half-meter-sized vent on the top of the rock wall inside, and found nothing else.

It's strange, there is no smell in the tuyere, it is not floating in from the outside, the smell is in the cave, how can it not be found?

Li Fan thought as he pulled out the unconscious man lying in the rock crevice and put him on a relatively flat ground behind him. As soon as he removed the man, the smell immediately became stronger.

Li Fan looked at the rock crevice where the man used to live by the light of the kerosene lamp, and found that there was a basketball-wide hole inside, about one meter deep.

Li Fan put the kerosene lamp at the entrance of the cave, turned on his mobile phone, and used the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine into the hole, and found that there was a silk cocoon about the same size as the hole at the bottom of the hole, like a cotton ball.

It tastes right, this should be the cocoon of the poisonous insect, burn it before it hatches!

Li Fan resolutely unscrewed the cap of the plastic bottle and slowly poured the entire bottle of kerosene down the cave wall. Perhaps stimulated by the smell of kerosene, the silk cocoon began to squirm, and Li Fan quickly wiped the match and threw it into the hole when he saw this, and the fire instantly burst into the sky.

The silk cocoon in the cave was burned by the fire, and a flower insect with the thickness of a thumb crawled out of it, making a sharp "sizzling" sound, while trying to climb up along the cave wall, seeing the situation, kerosene did not seem to burn it, Li Fan saw this and quickly smashed the flower insect in the hole with an iron rod.

After smashing it a few times, Li Fan found that the flower insect was extremely hard and could not be smashed at all, and at the same time, the flower insect was not willing to be suppressed by the iron rod, and his body shrank, and with a fierce flick, it hit the stick head that had just fallen, and it did not pop out.

Seeing that the body of the flower insect contracted again, Li Fan immediately pressed it with an iron rod, the flower insect was extremely powerful, although it was pressed by the iron rod, it could still twist its body and slowly move out little by little.
