Soon, the woman prepared the meal, and the wolf jerky was made into braised wolf meat, which was fragrant and mouth-watering, and it would be even better if there was a bottle of old wine! During the meal, I asked the woman what the place was. The woman said, "This is Qingshui Town, and the town is connected to the town is Poplar Town, which used to be very peaceful, but a few months ago, it suddenly changed. The woman put down the dishes and chopsticks and talked about what had happened a few months ago......

A few months ago, people went to the neighbor's house to visit the neighbor's house after eating as usual, and the woman's family chatted about some gossip topics, the sister-in-law's surname is Chen, the name is Qing, it turns out that the so-called Hades Star is not called the Hades Star, the Hades is just an additional title for the world, the so-called Hades refers to unknown things or space, this star has not yet been named, only the sister-in-law of Lu Dao lives in this village called Qingshui Town. That afternoon, when the sister-in-law chatted with other women in the town, she accidentally heard that Ah Niu in the west of the town was missing, for two whole days, no one was seen, Ah Niu has passed the year of standing, and has not yet married a wife, just because Ah Niu's IQ is a little low, in my understanding, it is a second force, and it is not a big deal, everyone thinks that Ah Niu is mostly lost again, and similar things are not the first time they have happened, and they will come back soon.

On the third day, Ah Niu had not returned, and several women and Taoist families gathered together again and talked about Ah Niu's disappearance. Qingshui Town has no mountains on all sides, only a pool of stagnant water in the south of the town, and the cliff in the east of the town, everyone speculates that Ah Niu is not an accident, the township, out of enthusiasm, several women and Taoists reported the matter to the mayor. The mayor of Qingshui Town is equivalent to the former captain of the security team, the population of Qingshui Town is not too much, there are about 50 households, the population is about two hundred, the mayor's job is to help the villagers solve some small problems, of course, the salary is paid, there are more than 20 people under the mayor, these people do not need to get together deliberately on weekdays, only when something happens, everyone will be notified, it is a freelance profession. Like usually, whoever loses a chicken or dies a dog, the mayor sends someone to investigate and solve it.

This time it is about human life, the population is lost, Qingshui Town has never had such a thing, the mayor of the town notified more than 20 subordinates as soon as he got the news, and immediately arranged for everyone to look for it separately, three people formed a team, and the husband of the sister-in-law was among the 20 people. On the same day, the search team returned, but found nothing, and the mayor arranged for the next day to continue the search, and be sure to find the people, to see the people alive, and to see the corpses when they died.

The next day, everyone went to look for Ah Niu early in the morning, and it was still the original team, a group of three. At noon, it was time to eat, and the sister-in-law's husband had not returned, so the sister-in-law went to another house to inquire, and the sister-in-law of the two families in the same group with her husband usually walked around, and the sister-in-law found that not only did the three members of her husband's group not come back, but also two groups did not come back at present.

More than 20 people went there, and less than 20 returned, and several women's families gathered together again, and their own men had not seen anyone since they had gone out in the morning, so they told the mayor about it. Now the mayor of the town also began to frown, it stands to reason that there will be no danger in a group of three people, even if they encounter jackals, tigers and leopards, three strong men will not be eaten! Even if they really encounter wild beasts, it will not be three groups, nine people, none of them escaped. The mayor felt that this was a bit unusual, so he arranged for everyone to go back first, and then send people to search for them in the afternoon.

That afternoon, the remaining dozen or so mayor's subordinates were ordered to find someone again, and this time everyone did not separate, but simply went to look for it together, and each of them took a handful of guys before leaving. But in the evening, strange things happened again, more than a dozen people who went were stunned and did not come back, this time the matter was big, the women of these dozen families found the door of the mayor's house, crying and asking the mayor to return his own man, the mayor had no choice but to give some silver taels to appease these women, and organize the whole town to find it tomorrow.

The sister-in-law returned home and couldn't sit still, thinking about whether her husband would have suffered an accident like Ah Niu, but after thinking about it, the sister-in-law was afraid that her son Xiaohu would be scared and didn't dare to show it, so she could only lie to Xiaohu that something was wrong with his father. That night, the sister-in-law went to sleep with the worry about the lights, and slept until midnight, when the sister-in-law was woken up by a gust of cold wind, and opened her confused eyes to see that the windows of her house were wide open, and her son Xiaohu was not around, and the sister-in-law was busy getting out of bed, and she didn't have time to wear clothes.

After coming to the yard, the sister-in-law saw the little tiger staggering forward like sleepwalking, and faintly saw a black shadow in front of her, the sister-in-law was busy going up the mountain to grab the little tiger, and shouted: "What person!" The man ignored the sister-in-law, turned around and disappeared into the vast night, and the sister-in-law vaguely saw that the person was carrying something on his back.

After returning to the house and lighting the candles, the sister-in-law asked Xiaohu what happened, but Xiaohu didn't seem to know anything, and then saw that his house was in a mess, and the grain in the firewood room was gone, and the sister-in-law thought that she had encountered bandits, and that night the sister-in-law didn't dare to sleep again, and sat at the head of the bed until dawn after closing the doors and windows.

As soon as the morning dawned, the sister-in-law took Xiaohu to the mayor's house to report what happened last night, but she didn't expect that not only her own home was ransacked by bandits last night, but almost all the people in the town were looted, the food was hollowed out, and even a few children were gone. The sister-in-law was glad that she found out in time that the mayor of the town was also very troubled by this matter, so she arranged for the whole town to go out to find someone, but after looking for a whole day, nothing was found, so everyone had to drag their tired bodies home to sleep.

Early the next morning, the sister-in-law took Xiaohu to the mayor's house, because there was no food at home, the sister-in-law wanted to report to the mayor to borrow some food, but as soon as she arrived at the mayor's house, she found that the mayor's house was full of people. It turned out that someone was missing last night, but the mayor had to mobilize the whole town to search again, and there was still a little bit of food in the town, so it was distributed to everyone, and the mayor appeased everyone to solve the matter as soon as possible, and after a search, there was still nothing, and everyone went home tired to sleep.

On the third day, someone disappeared again, and no matter how bold the people in the town were, they couldn't stand such a toss! Now no one dared to look for someone, and everyone said that they were afraid that they had encountered a monster. Rumors spread like a plague in the mayor, and the time bomb finally exploded in the hearts of the people, so the mayor had to reassure everyone to wait at home, and arranged for a few people to go to the next town to investigate.

The next few days were fruitless, and the same thing happened in the next town, where every now and then people would go missing, the only thing they had in common was that the missing people were all men.
