Chapter 5. Taojia Village, Barren Mountain and Wild Ridge

After I made a phone call to Little Colorful.

Soon, Xiao Qicai told me the phone number of the policeman in charge of the matter at the time, I sat in the car, lit a cigarette, and quickly dialed the policeman's mobile phone.

"Hey, hello, my name is Jiang Xiaohe, and I'm a friend of your Captain Ma Jian, can I ask you something?"

"Hello, what's the matter?" The other party replied vigilantly.

I took out a puff of cigarette and said, "Don't worry, it's not something that makes you embarrassed, I just want to ask you, on the day of the avalanche, did you join the rescue team at that time?" ”

"Yes!"

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"This ......," he hesitated, then asked, "what do you want to know?" ”

I said, "I just want to know one thing, it's very simple. Can you tell me how many hours the survivor named Tao Ling was buried, do you know? ”

"Oh, I see." The other party obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and quickly told me, "At that time, Tao Ling was the last to be dug up, she buried the deepest, she was just dug out, she didn't move, we all thought she was killed, but I didn't expect that after only ten seconds, Tao Ling suddenly stood up from the ground vigorously, and the rescue experts and police doctors on the team felt a little incredible......"

I asked, "And how many hours was she buried?" ”

The other party thought for a while and said, "I really don't know about this, you have to ask rescue experts and police doctors for specific things, but I think that from the time speculation, it should be about 6~10 hours, in fact, we have been a little puzzled until now, how did that girl survive." ”

……

When I hung up the phone, I felt that things were a little tricky, especially when I thought of Tao Ling and her father, their strange appearance and attitude, I felt even more itchy, and I had to figure this matter out.

What is different from before is that I am now also a "nouveau riche", just like Xiao Qicai said, I can't spend a lot of money at all, instead of staying at home all day to be an otaku, it is better to find something to do, be busy, and live a more fulfilling life.

After making up my mind, I used my credit card to withdraw some cash, and then went home to change my clothes, planning to call Xiao Qicai and Li Mengzhu and set off together to go to Changbai Mountain again. But this time, Xiao Qicai said that she didn't go anywhere, because she said that she left a painful memory there, and if she went again, she would feel even more guilty, so I had to have a "two-person world" with Li Mengzhu later. ”

When the car drove onto the highway, Li Mengzhu, who was sitting next to me, finally finished talking to his mother who was far away on the phone, and then he had time to ask me, "My dear, why do you still go to Changbai Mountain?" What do you want to do? ”

I said, "It seems that you are in a good mood, and you call me dear." ”

Li Mengzhu smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, you guessed it, my mother said that she would come back to see me in a few days, and she brought me a gift, by the way, she still has a gift for you." ”

The road ahead was very good, so I pressed the accelerator all the way to 150 miles and said, "And my share?" How does she know about me? ”

Li Mengzhu said, "I said it! My mom already knows, you saved me and my dad's lives a few days ago, of course she has to say it, oh yes, I almost forgot about it when you interrupted it, this time we will go to Changbai Mountain again, what are we going to do? You didn't make it clear on the phone. ”

I said, "Go to Tao Ling's house again." ”

Li Mengzhu put away his smile, looked at my side face, and said, "Why?" ”

I clenched the steering wheel hard and said word by word, "Find the secret that Tao Ling was buried for 6 or 7 hours and still survived!" ”

Li Mengzhu was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth showed a hint of curvature, and said lightly, "Is there something fun going to happen again?" I'm looking forward to it! ”

……

At about seven o'clock in the evening, we came to the foot of Changbai Mountain, and according to my memory last time, I drove all the way to the narrow mountain path. Then get out of the car and walk with Li Mengzhu.

Li Mengzhu followed me closely behind and asked, "Can you find Tao Ling's home accurately?" ”

I faced the mountain wind, raised my collar high, and shouted without looking back, "Yes!" I have a very good memory, just follow me! We have to hurry, or we'll have to spend the middle of the night in the mountains. ”

Li Mengzhu hurriedly agreed.

Two hours later, Li Mengzhu and I ran around and finally saw the dilapidated little village. We stood in place and half-squatted for a while, and then Li Mengzhu straightened up, gently grabbed my hand behind me, and sighed, "Your memory is really good, and you haven't walked much wronged." ”

Thinking that maybe I would be able to find Tao Ling in a while, I was in a good mood, and said half-jokingly, "Since I'm so good, why don't you marry me?" ”

Li Mengzhu kissed me lightly on the cheek and changed the subject, "Have you rested enough?" Hurry up, I don't want to spend the night here! ”

I let out a long sigh in my heart.

Since the last time I experienced the incident of the White Wall Night Eye, every time I mentioned that I wanted to continue to develop with Li Mengzhu, whether it was a joke or a serious matter, she always changed the topic, as if there was something unspeakable. At that time, I remember that she left me a letter and said that she would give me her precious first time......

But now, when she mentions it, she plays dumb. Forget it, I don't force her, in fact, I can see that Li Mengzhu likes me, but I don't know why she doesn't have any plans to be boyfriend and girlfriend with me.

At this time, I didn't have more time to think about it, because Li Mengzhu and I soon found out that the situation in the village was very different from the last time we came! It's quiet, and I can't see a single figure, and last time I came here, I could see a few people who looked like villagers walking around the village, but this time, ......

It's like suddenly walking into a deserted village that is unpopular and infinitely desolate!

Where have all the people gone?

Later, Li Mengzhu and I quickly ran into the entrance of the village and went straight to Tao Ling's house, however, there was no one in Tao Ling's house, and the messy wild vegetables on the ground were still there, but the clothes that were put there last time were not left, all of them were gone.

In an instant, I had a hunch that Tao Ling and his family were all gone. Maybe it happened after we were gone that day.

Li Mengzhu obviously felt the same way as me, and when she saw it, she immediately tightened the down jacket on her body and said, "Why are they leaving?" No matter how much you blame us, you won't want to leave, right? ”

I said, "Let's go out and have a look!" ”

Next, we spent about 20 minutes looking through the house, and the result was the same, there was no figure, and we noticed some details, some of the houses were very messy on the ground, and some people only smoked two puffs and threw them away, giving people the feeling that they had made a decision in a hurry and wanted to flee quickly.

Things started to get weirder and weirder, Li Mengzhu and I walked to the entrance of the village, looked back at the empty village one last time, and began to walk back.

On the way, Li Mengzhu always couldn't figure out something, so she asked me, "It's okay if Tao Ling and her father leave, why do the people in the whole village have to leave?" ”

I said, "I just counted, there are 27 houses in the whole village, and there should be only 50 or 60 people. I think there must be some kind of connection between them. ”

Li Mengzhu frowned and said, "But it doesn't make sense, even if they are all family, why did they all disappear mysteriously?" ”

I pondered, "Maybe it has something to do with our sudden break-into of the village, remember Tao Ling's father's strange expression at that time?" Looking back now, I guess what angered him the most was Tao Ling who brought us back to the village. We might as well call it Taojia Village for the time being. ”

Li Mengzhu speculated step by step, "Because they have never contacted, or rarely contacted, outsiders, Tao Ling's father would have been very angry when he saw us at that time." But why don't they reach out to outsiders? There must be some secrets that you don't want outsiders to know! ”

I nodded and said, "This secret must have something to do with the avalanche incident!" ”

Li Mengzhu said, "Is it that Tao Ling's father already knew that Tao Ling would be fine, so he didn't even ask about the avalanche." ”

I said, "It should be so, otherwise how could her father's attitude be so strange?" ”

Li Mengzhu suddenly said "ah", as if he remembered something, and stopped in an instant.

I hurriedly asked her what was wrong, and she suddenly looked at me with a very gloomy expression, and said, "I don't remember that Tao Ling said at the time that her family lived in a mass grave?" The so-called Taojia Village we saw just now could it be a grave, and Tao Ling is actually a ......" She didn't continue, but I quickly understood what she meant.

Rolling my eyes, I said, "Don't forget that Tao Ling was normal at that time, with flesh and blood, even her face was always red and fluttering, and she especially liked to sweat." At this point, my mind suddenly moved, "That's right, sweat!" Why is she always sweating so much every time I see Tao Ling? It's so cold, even if I run for half an hour, I can't sweat so much, Tao Ling stands there casually, sweating more than normal people? Is there some kind of strange disease in her? Did the people of the entire Taojia Village have this disease, and they were afraid that others would know about it, so the entire village was hurriedly moved away overnight?

This possibility definitely exists.

When I think about it, I feel that there is nothing strange about this matter. Even if Taojia Village used to be a mass grave, what is it? Since the people in Taojia Village are not afraid, we don't live there, and we don't feel afraid.

It didn't take long for us to sit back in my domestic SUV.

As soon as he got in the car, Li Mengzhu said, "It's cold, hurry up and turn on the heater, you said that you are so rich, why do you have to buy a cheap domestic car?" ”

As I started the car, I said, "Low-key, support domestic production, you don't understand." The car is just a means of transportation, as long as it can be used, there is no need to pursue face. Besides, this car is much stronger than my previous used mini, I am comfortable to drive, and that's enough! ”

As we spoke, Li Mengzhu and I were going to go down the mountain. But before I could get on the highway, I suddenly thought that even if the people in Taojia Village collectively suffered from a strange disease, they still couldn't explain the fact that Tao Ling was buried alive for 6 or 7 hours, but in the end she was unharmed.

Thinking of this, I feel that it is very necessary for me to go to Ke Weipeng again. Because he is the only one I know, he is more professional in medicine!
