"Road and bridge? What are you doing there? Yuan Mu quickly answered their calls.

Ji Si'an told Yuan Mu in detail about the causes and consequences of Yang Ping's disappearance.

"Don't worry. The situation of her disappearance must have been reported to the police station, and the patrol police and community police in various places will definitely investigate as soon as possible. Don't go along with the past and cause trouble. Yuan Mu actually rejected them.

"The terrain is complicated and there are a lot of people in the road and bridge, so you can't help much when you go. And she wasn't necessarily there. ”

"Wait for news at home, and leave the rest to the police." Yuan Mu obviously did not approve of their participation in the search.

Ji Si'an also agreed with Yuan Mu's opinion, but Luo Li was very persistent in wanting to go. Ji Si'an had no choice but to accompany her.

They looked at the narrow alleys and the intricate forks in the road, and they didn't bring much security to the place during the day.

"I guess we'll get lost as soon as we get in, and navigation doesn't work here. There are private buildings everywhere, and if you demolish this today, and build a hut there tomorrow, it is impossible to figure out the situation inside. Ji Si'an looked down at the map and said.

"And it's so densely populated that if something happens, the neighbors will definitely hear something." Ji Si'an has been persuading Luo Li.

Luo Li's body kept shaking slightly, she didn't have the courage to go in, but she also stubbornly didn't want to leave.

"Here? Are you hiding something from me? Ji Si'an looked at Luo Li, who was pale, and asked.

"Yesterday that person was going in this direction......" Luo Li said without answering Ji Si'an's question, but pointing to a winding dirt road.

"Are you trying to ......" Ji Si'an's words were not finished, and Luo Li had already taken the lead in that direction.

The firm and dry loess is covered with a layer of gravel sand, which rustles when walking. In just a few moments, the shoes and trouser legs were covered with dust. They walked along the path for a long time, but Lori had no intention of stopping.

"And then there's the mountain ahead...... We'd better not go in without permission......"

Luo Li turned a deaf ear to Ji Si'an's words and still walked forward. Ji Si'an had no choice but to step forward and grab Luo Li's arm, trying to persuade her again.

Luo Li raised her chin and explained: "Don't worry, this used to be terraced fields, even if there are fewer people cultivating in recent years, fruit trees and other things still exist, so people will often come." ”

Ji Si'an looked at the persimmon trees and jujube trees dotted in the distance, and knew that Luo Li was okay, and his heart relaxed a little.

"It's strange why that man went in this direction yesterday. Follow this road...... You can only go up the mountain. Lori looked around and felt that the scene here was very similar to the one in her dream.

Ji Si'an didn't answer, her attention was all at her feet. The road up the mountain is narrow, the artificial sand and gravel are gone, and the road is covered with dry yellow weeds and slippery gravel, which can slip if you are not careful.

Seeing that Ji Si'an didn't answer, Luo Li was about to turn back, but her feet slipped and she was about to fall, she grabbed the weeds next to her with both hands indiscriminately, but she hurriedly let go, and her right knee fell heavily on the ground.

"I'll see where it hurts." Ji Si'an stepped forward to help Luo Li up.

Lori held up her hands, which were covered in puncture wounds, many of which were full of spikes......

"It hurts me." Lori took a breath and kicked the plants next to her.

"You kicked it wrong, it was Huangjing, although it has the allusion of 'bearing the guilt of Jing', but it does not have these thorns on its branches." Ji Si'an said.

"You still have the heart to laugh, hurry up, pull it out for me, it hurts me to death." Lori kept blowing on her hand to relieve the pain.

"I've got to tell you, or you'll admit your mistake again next time."

"It's wild sour dates that pierce you...... It's the one on your left foot, don't move...... Be careful not to let it get to you again. ”

Ji Si'an distracted Luo Li as he spoke, and quickly pulled out the spikes.

"Let's find two sticks to hold on, so that we don't fall, and we can find the way, and we can kill multiple birds with one stone." With that, Luo Li walked to the gentle dirt slope next to her, where there were some sticks scattered in the distance.

Ji Si'an sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that Luo Li will not give up easily. She had no choice but to hold on to the pine tree next to her and follow Luo Li towards the dirt slope.

Soon Luo Li found two wooden sticks in her hand, and she just showed Ji Si'an a few times as if showing off, and the wooden sticks snapped and broke. Lori watched dumbfounded as the wrist-thick piece of wood broke in two.

"How so?"

Ji Si'an stepped forward, and with a little force, the other wooden stick was also broken in two.

"After a long time of wind and sun, the wood has long since rotted."

"I don't believe that there is no suitable wood for so much." Lori stepped forward and continued to pick up the other sticks and try them out.

Ji Si'an didn't have much hope for this, and when he looked at the color of these woods, he knew that they had been placed here for a long time.

She wanted to walk forward but saw the large and small graves in the distance, and instantly felt that the hairs stood on end, and she turned around and wanted to leave with Luo Li.

At this time, Luo Li was in a daze at a hairpin between the fallen leaves.

"Let's go quickly......" Before she could finish speaking, Luo Li suddenly knelt on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Si'an hurriedly stepped forward.

Lori held a pink hairpin with trembling hands.

"Is this Yang Ping's? Could it be someone else who fell behind? Ji Si'an still had a fluke.

"That's right, it's hers...... This is a gift I gave her. As she spoke, Lori clenched her hairpin.

"How did her hairpin end up here? Could it be someone else who picked it up? Although he said this, Ji Si'an had already looked around. A bad premonition took over her heart.

Yang Ping...... Yang Ping...... Where are you? I'm Sister Li, come home with me. Lori stood up, and the first thing she did was look around.

Lori's voice echoed through the trees, only the salsa of the wind blowing through the leaves.

They stumbled up the hill, seeing that the trees around them were getting thicker and thicker, and the fallen leaves under their feet were long below their ankles.

"If you go any further, there will be no way." Ji Si'an stopped Luo Li.

Lori pulled her hand away and continued forward, her pale face covered with sweat.

"Lily, what's wrong with you?" Ji Si'an caught up with her with some concern.

"I ......" Before she could finish the three words, Luo Li slipped and fell into the ditch on the right side with the fallen leaves.

"Lori!" Ji Si'an's outstretched hand didn't even touch the corner of her clothes......

"Lorry, how are you? You okay? Ji Si'an leaned into the ditch half-hugging a pine tree.

Luo Li lay on the ground with her long hair scattered, motionless. Ji Si'an became more and more anxious, and just when she wanted to call her again, Luo Li suddenly sat up and scratched at the leaves next to her.

"Lori, what's wrong with you?" Ji Si'an asked Luo Li anxiously, she was most afraid of her silence.

When Luo Li turned around, her already pale face had turned pale...... Her lips moved a few times, but she didn't make a sound.

Ji Si'an was worried that something would happen to Luo Li, so he had to squat down and slide down the fallen leaves half-lying.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the pit, she was hugged by Lori. As soon as she regained her voice, she let out an earth-shattering cry.

Crossing her shoulder, Ji Si'an looked at the bottom of the pit, and there was a girl lying quietly in the depths of the fallen leaves, with a lot of flies crawling on her pale face......
