It's noon, the sun is high, and the climate is hot.

A caravan with three wagons rested on the side of the official road.

It was only a small caravan, numbering no more than twenty people.

"Miss, rest for a while, the brothers have already lit a fire, eat something and then go on the road."

Under the shade of the tree, a thin guard said to Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, nodded and said, "Let the brothers rest for a while, pay attention to the surroundings, I heard that there have been bandits in this place recently." ”

"Well, it's already arranged."

Another guard said: "I heard that the city lord of Liuye at the boundary of Heshui County is jealous and hateful, and the bandits don't dare to fight the autumn wind here, why did this gang of bandits suddenly appear?" ”

"Who knows, if we had known, we should have brought more people with us this time."

Zuo Ci sighed.

For a long time, the vicinity of Heshui County has been known for its peace.

Therefore, she came out this time, in order to save costs, she didn't bring a lot of people.

Who knows, after coming to Heshui County, I heard about the bandits here.

She removed the kettle from her waist and looked up at the sky in the distance.

"I don't know if I'll be able to cross this mountain before night comes."

"Oh no, Xiao Shunzi and Yanzi are gone."

The guards in the distance suddenly came and shouted.

"What's going on?" Zuo Ci hurriedly walked over.

"Miss, just now I went to the forest with Xiao Shunzi and Yan Zi to relieve ourselves, and they were still in front of me a moment ago, but when I turned around, the person was gone."

The guard said in a panic.

"Did you get taken away by something?"

Zuo Ci asked hurriedly.

"I don't know, but if it's a beast, there should be movement."

"Could it be that there are bandits?"

"No matter, let's look for it first."

The chief of the guard immediately appointed ten people, "You are divided into two groups, go to the place just now to find someone, if you find bloodstains, come back immediately, and we will leave here." ”

"Yes!"

Zuo Ci sat down tiredly, and his eyes suddenly lost focus.

Tired, so tired.

Along the way, she looked highly nervous, afraid of this kind of situation.

She couldn't help but think of her family.

My father had just died, and my two older brothers and one younger brother only knew how to eat, drink and be merry, and the whole family depended on her for support.

If something happens to her on this trip, she won't even be able to pay the guards.

"Hey, what should I do?"

"Miss......"

Suddenly, there was a voice behind him.

It was the voice of the captain of the guard, Zhou Hang.

Zhou Hang has followed their Zuo family for many years and is conscientious, and now most of the things depend on him.

Zuo Ci subconsciously turned around, but saw Zhou Hang's bloodstained face.

His eyes were gouged open, revealing the bloody mouth of the black hole, hideous as a ghost.

"Ah......h

Zuo Ci was taken aback, and the whole person almost jumped up.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Zhou Hang frowned, walked over and hurriedly supported Zuo Ci, so as to prevent Zuo Ci from falling to the ground.

Zuo Ci looked at it again, and Zhou Hang in front of him returned to his original state.

"I ...... I'm fine. ”

"What did the young lady see? I see how scared you were just now. ”

"I don't know, maybe ...... Probably hallucinations, I'm so tired. By the way, Zhou Guard, are you calling me something? ”

"There are four people coming in front, and they are all dressed the same, they should be the guards of a large family."

"Yes, when you go out, you have to be kind to others and see what help people need, but you have to be careful, and you have to guard against people."

Zuo Ci said.

"Well, I'll go take a look."

Zhou Hang led people over.

Not far away, on the official road, four people came.

The first one is gray in clothes, tall in stature, and at first glance he is practicing kung fu in his hands, and his strength does not look weak.

"How many, but locals? How did you get to this remote place? ”

Zhou Hang clenched his fists and had a gentle attitude.

Su Anlin glanced at the person's blood bar.

[Health Bar: 98/98.]

Not low.

Su Anlin bowed his head and said: "This big brother, we are the guards of the Li family in Heshui County in front, and we are here to find someone." ”

"Looking for someone, could it be that someone in the family is missing?"

Su Anlin nodded: "My young master is gone, in addition, the city lord and his team are also missing here, you have been here for a few days, can you see them?" Zhou Hang shook his head and said, "We only came here in the morning, but we didn't see anyone else. ”

After he finished speaking, Xu Laosan frowned slightly.

He hurriedly whispered in Su Anlin's ear: "Master Su, something is not right. ”

"What's wrong?" Su Anlin's lips opened slightly.

"The carriage marks we saw just now were clearly two or three days old, but they said they would come in the morning, which ......"

"yes, got it."

Su Anlin said that he understood, and smiled at the other side: "I didn't see it, there is no way, but this big brother, I see that you are nervous, but what trouble are you encountering?" ”

Zhou Hang didn't hide it, and told him about the sudden disappearance of the two guards just now.

finally sighed: "This thing is strange, the disappearance of people is too bizarre, there is no movement at all, I wonder if it is ......"

Zhou Hang didn't say the word weird.

Spooky, sometimes more terrifying than banditry, can easily cause riots.

"That's it, a few brothers are tired of coming, come and rest here for a while, we are looking for someone anyway, we can be together later." Zhou Hang proposed.

"Okay, let's rest for a while." Su Anlin walked towards the team: "By the way, my name is Su Anlin, eldest brother's surname?" ”

"Don't be expensive, my name is Zhou Hang, and my master's family is the Zuo family in the fourth-floor village."

I guess it's a small family, I haven't heard of it.

Zuo Ci greeted him at this time.

The woman's face was a little sallow, and she looked sad.

Thick lips, it looks like a more generous one.

The skin is dark and slightly thick, and she should have been in charge of her own affairs very early, not a small jasper type of eldest lady.

Su Anlin politely said a few words, and Zuo Ci ordered: "Let's get some flatbread for a few brothers." ”

"Miss Zuo is polite, we brought dry food, it's important to find someone, so we won't chatter."

Su Anlin said.

Zuo Ci didn't have the heart to be polite, and nodded: "Then let's find someone together, but if we can't find it again, we plan to leave first, it's too dangerous for this place to be dark." ”

After Su Anlin took people to rest for a while, he went into the forest to find someone.

"Master Su, something is wrong, I secretly chatted with their guards just now, and they did only arrive here in the morning, but the wheel prints are two to three days old."

As soon as he walked away, Xu Laosan couldn't help but speak again.

"I've been walking for so many years, and I haven't seen a time when I've lost my eyes."

Su Anlin frowned and said, "There are indeed strange things in this, but looking at their appearance, they don't look like deceiving people." ”

"That's right, that's weird."

Xu Laosan was strange.

Zhao Liqiang said: "And I found that there is a strange place in this place. ”

"Oh, tell me about it!" Su Anlin asked.

Zhao Liqiang pointed to the sun in the sky: "Look, before we came, noon hadn't arrived yet, but in the blink of an eye, the sun looked like it was going down." ”

Su Anlin was reminded and also noticed the strangeness of the sun.

It was unusually hot before, and it was the peak of the heat at noon.

But in the blink of an eye, it's almost down the mountain.

Xu Laosan frowned: "This doesn't mean that it's almost dark." ”

"Let's find a place to spend the night before dark." Su Anlin said.

This time, they came out with three days of dry food.

I walked around the woods again.

Everywhere they went, Xu Laosan and Zhao Liqiang would leave a strip of red cloth as a mark to prevent them from getting lost.

Seeing that it was going to be dark, there was nothing.

But suddenly, unconsciously returned to the convoy on Zuo Ci's side just now.

"It's strange, why did we come back in a circle when we were obviously going up the mountain?"

Zhao Liqiang was completely stunned, and even wondered if there was something wrong with the marks they made.

Su Anlin groaned slightly: "I'm afraid, we have already fallen on the road." ”

He must have encountered some kind of weird weirdness.

It's like the Li family's Buddha voice ghost, perhaps, this is also a weird one.

He took out the long-skinned immortal scripture in his arms and whispered, "So, what's going on here?" ”

[My name is Su Anlin, I am walking in a strange place, here, what's going on? 】

"So what's going on?"

[What's going on?] I don't know, but I think something is wrong with Zuo Ci, and maybe I can find clues from them. 】

"Is that so?"

Although the Long-skinned Immortal Sutra does not give a direct answer, it also points out a way.

It's getting dark.

Su Anlin led the people back to the caravan on Zuo Ci's side.

The faces of the people here are even more ugly.

Zhou Hang, who was still very enthusiastic before, saw Su Anlin and became weak: "Brother Su, you ...... You didn't encounter anything strange? ”

Su Anlin shook his head and frowned, "Brother Zhou, what happened to you again?" ”

He looked around, his brow furrowed.

There were many people missing, and at least half of the caravan was gone.

"We're in trouble, big trouble!" Zhou Hang's eyes widened, "None of the people sent out to find someone have come back, and they are all missing!" ”

Zuo Ci stared at Su Anlin, incredulous: "How can you be fine?" ”

The guards they had sent out had lost contact one by one, and she didn't know what to do when she saw the sun going down.

And Su Anlin's group of people is actually fine.

Su Anlin replied: "We didn't encounter anything strange. ”

"Didn't meet ...... Did you see the guards we sent out? Zuo Ci hurriedly said.

"I'm sorry, no." Su Anlin replied.

"Don't you think it's strange that the sun is going down?" Xu Laosandao.

"yes, it's getting dark, what should I do?"

Zuo Ci's whole person was a little broken, his eyes were red, and he had obviously cried secretly by himself just now.

"Miss, it seems that it's too late to leave now, let's rest in place, let the brothers light more fires at night, just get through it, and leave tomorrow morning."

Zhou Hang walked over to comfort.

"That's the only way, it's hard for us to find someone at night, so we're going to rest with everyone."

Su Anlin said.

"It's great to have you together, Brother Su."

Zhou Hang nodded.

As he spoke, his surroundings darkened.

"It's night...... so soon"

Xu Laosan frowned, his years of experience made him feel very wrong.

"Uncle, I want to pee ......"

Xu You's expression was tangled, obviously a little scared.

"If you want to pee, go and tell me?"

"Uncle, I think this ghost place is too mysterious, I ...... I'm afraid...... Can you accompany me to the toilet......"

"You coward, go to the forest in front." Xu Laosan pointed to a big tree not far away: "I've been staring at you, what are you afraid of?" ”

"......"

Xu Laosan was helpless: "Don't forget how you got into the Li family, with your strength, if it weren't for my intercession, you would still be moving goods at the dock at this time, go quickly, don't make people laugh." ”

"Okay then."

Xu You walked over tremblingly and looked behind him, Xu Laosan kept looking at him.

Seeing him turn his head, Xu Laosan nodded at him.

He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to pee.

"What is he going to do over there?"

Su Anlin glanced at Xu You.

"Pee, let me accompany him."

Xu Laosan glanced at Su Anlin, helpless: "I said that I have been looking at him, and I am still afraid, and I haven't gone far, what are you afraid of?" ”

Su Anlin nodded, subconsciously looked at Xu You's place, and was suddenly stunned: "What about others?" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Laosan hurriedly looked at it, and his eyes were about to pop out.

Xu You is gone!

He hurriedly ran over, and in the jungle, there was silence, and there was no one.

There was a puddle of urine stains on the side of the tree, but the man was gone.

"It's gone, my nephew is gone."

Su Anlin walked over with an ugly face.

"Some of you are missing." Zhou Hang was shocked.

"It's getting closer and closer, and at first people will go missing from a distance, but now, even around the team, they will go missing."

Zuo Ci shook his head, at a loss.

She was under too much pressure and was already on the verge of collapse.

"I'll go and comfort my young lady, Brother Su, be careful."

Zhou Hang hugged his fists and left.

"Master Su, what should I do now, my nephew is gone, he is not married yet, his father and mother died early, I treat him as my own son."

Su Anlin said in a deep voice: "You guys are in the team, don't walk around, I'll look around." ”

He walked to the place where Xu You had just peed and took out the Long-Skinned Immortal Sutra.

"So, can you find someone for me?"

[My name is Su Anlin, one of my subordinates suddenly disappeared, I don't know where he went, but at this time, a puddle of urine stains on the ground attracted me. 】

[Perhaps, looking closely here, I can draw some useful conclusions.] 】

For these tips, Su Anlin was not very satisfied.

But obviously, the Long-Skinned Immortal Sutra doesn't offer better advice either.

He had a feeling that the Longskin Immortal Sutra didn't know much about some things.

Every time he talks to the Longskin Immortal Sutra, he has the feeling that the other party is just an experienced person.

It's not omniscient.

Putting away the long-skinned immortal scripture and looking at the water stains on the ground, Su Anlin frowned.

'It's just a puddle of urine, what can you conclude?' ’

But then, his nose moved.

"It's weird, this urine doesn't smell."

Urine is known to be smelly.

But here, there is no taste.

Su Anlin touched his chin and looked around again.

He seemed to have guessed something.

"Could it be that ...... here?"

Suddenly, a hand patted Su Anlin on the shoulder.

Su Anlin turned around, but saw Zhou Hang standing behind him.

"Brother Su, I found you, it's dark, where have you been?"

Su Anlin looked up, only to find that the sun had gone down at some point.

Under the dark night, the moonlit night is hazy.
