Tang Xinyi drove an off-road vehicle and ran on the highway for more than two hours, then got off the highway and ran wildly on the provincial road for more than an hour, and only ran to a town in the early hours of the morning.

It was a small town hidden in a mountain den, and at this time the people had long since rested, and it was dark everywhere, and there was no loud noise, and there were occasionally two dog barks.

Tang Xinyi drove the car to a house and stopped, and after the two got out of the car, a cool breeze hit, which made people feel refreshed.

Tang Xinyi told Shi Huaiyu everything she knew along the way, and after Shi Huaiyu got out of the car, he pointed to the private house in front of him and asked, "This is the leader you said?" ”

Tang Xinyi nodded and said, "Yes, a few years ago, when I was just sixteen or seventeen years old, I knew this family, and they knew about a secret passage leading to the Soul Lock Valley, and no one patrolled this secret passage. ”

As she spoke, Tang Xinyi stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, and after a while, after the door opened, a middle-aged man with a shrunken head came out of it.

The middle-aged man is not tall, short in stature, and has a pockmarked face.

He took a flashlight and shone it on Tang Xinyi's face, but Tang Xinyi didn't dodge.

The middle-aged man whispered, "Come in." ”

Tang Xinyi led Shi Huaiyu and walked into the small courtyard with the middle-aged man.

Shi Huaiyu is very familiar with the countryside, and he came out of the countryside.

When Shi Huaiyu walked into the yard, he looked at the yard by the light of a flashlight, and found that the yard was very clean, there were no farm tools, and there were two flower beds planted in the flat cement floor.

Shi Huaiyu couldn't help but feel strange to this middle-aged man, strange that a farmer actually built a yard so beautifully, and he couldn't see a single farm tool, which is not common in the countryside.

Tang Xinyi couldn't help but be curious, and asked after greetings: "The yard that was just paved with cement." ”

The man smiled wryly, hummed softly, and then changed the topic and asked, "Girl, what do you want to do today?" ”

Tang Xinyi was no longer surprised by the changes in the courtyard, but said with a straight face: "I came today to enter the Soul Lock Valley, and I asked Brother Zhang to take us in." ”

This man's name is Zhang Jialiang, and Tang Xinyi introduced him to Shi Huaiyu on the way. Locked Soul Valley is guarded by special personnel, ordinary people will not let it close, Zhang Jialiang has lived here for generations, he knows that there is a secret passage that can bypass the patrol of the guards and directly enter the Locked Soul Valley.

Zhang Jialiang swept Shi Huaiyu with a flashlight, and Tang Xinyi hurriedly explained: "This is my friend, he will go with me." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jialiang did not deliberately interrogate, but said hesitantly: "If you want to go in today, I'm afraid it's a little difficult......"

Tang Xinyi hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, I know the rules, so I have prepared a fee for two people, a total of two thousand yuan, and I will immediately transfer it to you with my mobile phone......"

Tang Xinyi hadn't finished speaking, Zhang Jialiang still shook his head.

Tang Xinyi was anxious, and changed her words and said, "Three thousand? Four thousand? Or ......"

Shi Huaiyu was confused, on the way, Tang Xinyi kept saying that Zhang Jialiang was the leader of their entry into the Soul Lock Valley, and he was a reliable person.

But now it sounds like Tang Xinyi needs to pay a lot of money, and Zhang Jialiang will lead them in.

How can someone who works for money be a reliable guide?

When Shi Huaiyu was puzzled, Zhang Jialiang interrupted Tang Xinyi's words and said bluntly: "Be quiet, don't alarm my mother-in-law, she won't let me go to the Soul Lock Valley." During this time, the vigilance is strict, so the market has also risen, and if the two of you go in, I'm afraid it will cost 10,000 yuan......"

Zhang Jialiang hadn't finished speaking, although Tang Xinyi was a little surprised, she still gritted her teeth and said, "10,000 yuan is 10,000 yuan, I'll give it to you." ”

Tang Xinyi took out her mobile phone, operated it a few times, Zhang Jialiang's mobile phone rang, Zhang Jialiang took it out and took a look, smiled hehe, and said: "For the sake of the old customer, I will go out today and lead you in again, but it is still the old rule, I can only lead you to the periphery of the valley, and I won't go inside......"

"Okay, as long as you lead us out of the valley, you don't have to worry about the rest." Tang Xinyi nodded and said.

At this time, Shi Huaiyu saw Zhang Jialiang go back to the house and take out a black plastic bag, take out three raincoats, hand Tang Xinyi two sets, and put one on himself.

Shi Huaiyu took the raincoat handed over by Tang Xinyi suspiciously, and without asking the reason, he also put it on his body.

Zhang Jialiang led the two out of the yard, carefully locked the door, detoured to the back of his house, crossed the cornfield that had just reached his waist, and groped his way towards a hill in the distance.

Zhang Jialiang's flashlight has been extinguished, and Tang Xinyi told Shi Huaiyu to turn off the mobile phone.

In the early morning in the mountain village, the moonlight was dim, the surroundings were dark, and there were occasionally a few dog barks, and in addition, it was the sound of the three people climbing the mountain.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is inaccessible, and it takes more than an hour for Zhang Jialiang to climb halfway up the mountain with two people.

Zhang Jialiang stopped, pointed to a vaguely rugged path in front of him, and said to Tang Xinyi in a low voice: "I can only take you here this time, if you go through the road ahead, I won't go." ”

"How can this work? We didn't say okay, you took us out of the valley, it's less than half the way. Tang Xinyi hurriedly grabbed Zhang Jialiang, speaking in an anxious voice, and even crying.

But Zhang Jialiang broke free of Tang Xinyi and said slowly: "I said that there are many people on guard during this time, and it is inconvenient for me to go in, and besides, you had better come back before dawn." If you can't come back in time and you're caught by the guards, you can't admit that I brought you here. ”

After Zhang Jialiang finished speaking, he turned his head and ran away with a smoke, and in this dark night, in a strange valley, Zhang Jialiang suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Tang Xin stomped his feet happily, but he was helpless.

She explained to Shi Huaiyu without guilt: "Shenjun, it may be that the investigation is too powerful during this time, so ......"

Tang Xinyi hadn't finished explaining, Shi Huaiyu smiled, followed Tang Xinyi's words, and asked rhetorically: "Before you decided to come here, did you contact Zhang Jialiang?" ”

Tang Xinyi didn't know why Shi Huaiyu asked this, but she still answered this question honestly: "No." Because the things that have been going on around me have been so strange lately, everything I do, and some of my thoughts, seem to be known by somebody. Therefore, I haven't told anyone about coming to Soul Lock Valley at all, including Zhang Jialiang......"

Speaking of this, Tang Xinyi couldn't help but have a shadow in her heart.

I saw Zhang Jialiang when I was sixteen or seventeen years old, and I haven't seen this person since, and I don't even have contact information, but five or six years have passed, and when I found his house so late, he opened the door and glanced at her, and he was able to recognize her.

It's an unbelievable thing.

Moreover, Zhang Jialiang knew that she was going to bring someone here, so he prepared three raincoats.

This is an extremely frightening thing.

Thinking of this, Tang Xinyi couldn't help but shiver, looked at the dark night everywhere, and asked in a trembling voice: "Shenjun, I feel that there are people from the demon clan around me, and our whereabouts have been exposed, what should we do now?" ”
