The only bridge on the way out of the village collapsed, even if people could barely climb over, but there was still a long way to get to the nearest town, and Ji Yao clearly knew how long the bus had been in the mountains and how many mountains it had bypassed.

It is estimated that it will take some time for people outside to find out about the situation here, and the biggest problem now is that all the communication equipment is out of order and there is no signal. Suddenly found that human beings were overly dependent on technology, and once it was all lost, they panicked.

In the restaurant, a large number of people gathered, Ji Yao looked at it, the remaining tour group and seven or eight individual customers, as well as some people from the village, the boss and waiters were there.

"There is a signal tower on the hill behind the village, but it has just rained heavily, and the road is not easy to walk. The boss said helplessly, "The people who manage these signal towers usually come to check every once in a while, and now no one in the village understands that thing." ”

"Can anyone take me to see it, that's what I've been doing before. Said a man in the tour group.

"Really, I'll take you!" one of the people in the village immediately got up.

After discussion, two local villagers took the man to check the signal tower behind the village, and brought some dry food just in case.

Ji Yao and Ah Qing wandered around the village with nothing to do. The village is not big, dozens of families, and there are not many young people, who rely on planting some fields and several historic sites next to the village to engage in tourism sideline business.

"It's unlucky, I finally came out once, and I was trapped in this ravine before I started!" Raising a kick, Ah Qing kicked the small pebble next to his foot.

Ji Yao didn't respond, she remembered what she saw last night, Ah Qing, did she deliberately hide it from herself? However, as a friend, she was worried that Ah Qing would be hurt, and she was afraid that Ah Qing would be angry.

"Aqing, I got up to go to the toilet last night, and saw that you weren't there, did you go out?" Ji Yao asked tentatively.

"No, I slept until dawn last night, don't scare me, is it too dark, are you wrong?" Looking at Aqing's expression, there was no lie at all.

"Oh, maybe I'm wrong, it's too dark. ”

It was getting dark, and the three people who went to the back mountain to check the signal tower still didn't come back. The uneasiness gradually spread in everyone's hearts.

"No, I'm going to find him!" a girl anxiously pulled the owner of the hotel, begging him to lead the way to find someone. The girl was very nervous, because the missing boy was her boyfriend, and the two went out to travel together this time.

"Don't worry, it's getting dark now, and it's not safe to go out again, don't worry, they'll be fine." The boss comforted, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart. It stands to reason that they should have come back a long time ago, and although the road to the back mountain is not easy, there will never be any major problems.

"No, what if they're waiting for us to save them now!" the girl almost cried, her voice trembling.

The boss shook his head, he couldn't let the others go out again, if something happened again, people lived in his shop, and his responsibility was not small.

At night, Ji Yao got up A to go to the toilet, and looked at the next bed A, the quilt was lifted, and Aqing was not on bed A.

Ji Yao hurriedly walked to Aqing's bed and stretched out her hand to touch it, the quilt was already cold, it seemed that Aqing had been gone for a while.

Could it be that she went to see that man again? Ji Yao walked around uneasily.

Outside the door, there was a soft sound of unlocking.

Ji Yao quickly got back into the quilt and pretended to sleep.

Listening to the voice, it should be Aqing, she lay back on the bed A, and after a while, the sound of sleeping breathing came.

......

"I'm so tired. When she got up, A-Qing sat on the bed and twisted her head, "Is this a stiff neck, the pain is uncomfortable." ”

"I'll see. Ji Yao walked up to A-Qing and reached out to help her pinch.

"Well, it hurts, what's wrong, I slept well at night, why are I still so tired. ”

"Maybe I'm not used to it. Ji Yao gently patted Aqing's shoulder, "Did you go out last night?"

"No, I usually sleep until dawn, and my sleep quality is still good. ”

"But you have dark circles. Ah Qing's face was very bad.

"Dark circles?" Ah Qing walked to the mirror and looked at her face carefully, "Ah, it's so dark, what the hell is going on?"

Ji Yao frowned slightly, she thought of the days when she had nightmares before, and she was also unwell like Aqing now.

Going downstairs, the two walked towards the restaurant.

A person rushed in in a hurry: "Have you seen Xiao Qi?"

"Xiaoqi, no, what's wrong?" asked the fellow group.

"Last night she told me that she was hungry and went downstairs to find something to eat, and then I fell asleep, but when I got up in the morning, I found that she hadn't come back yet. ”

"Could it be that she has already come back and gone out again?"

"No way, the bed is exactly the same as when she left last night, and her bag is gone, she must have gone to find her boyfriend!" the man replied affirmatively.

"What can I do, go and tell the boss!" a group of people went straight to the boss's residence.

"What can I do, what can I do?" the boss was completely confused.

"Why don't we have a few more people and look at the tower. A waiter suggested.

"But I'm afraid that ......" The boss is not at ease, in case there is no return.

"It's okay, I'll bring a few more people, it's daylight now, what can happen, and the weather is fine, the rain has dried, and the road will be much easier." The waiter comforted the owner.

"That's it. The boss thought again and again: "You bring a few more people, take what you want to bring, and you must pay attention to safety." ”

In the end, six locals with better physical fitness were selected to search for the missing people.

All day, everyone waited anxiously for the six people to come back with the previous four. However, as the sky got darker and darker, there was still no one on the path to the back mountain.

The boss kept walking back and forth at the door, looking in the direction of the back hill from time to time, and he would be happy to see even a little flashlight.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine. Ji Yao kindly comforted the boss, in the past few days, this cheerful middle-aged man has a few gray hairs.

Ji Yao also felt that it should be fine, she didn't see any of these ten people come back—their souls.

This means that they should still be safe, Ji Yao thought on the bright side.

This night, Ji Yao drank a lot of coffee, and she decided to look at Aqing.

In the middle of the night, the sound of Ah Qing getting up came.

"Aqing. Seeing that A-Qing opened the door and was about to go out, Ji Yao shouted.

Qing stopped and turned around slowly.

"Ah Qing, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Ah Qing's face, Ji Yao exclaimed.

Ah Qing's face was pale, and her eyes were red and she stared at Ji Yao, as if she had a deep hatred. Stunned for a second, Ah Qing pounced on Ji Yao!
