Chapter 2: The Stranger's Speculation
At eight o'clock the next night, when Xiang Yihang was bored in the hotel, the strange call came.
"Little brother, can you come out now?"
"Yes! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Okay, see you at the 'Mountain Bar' in twenty minutes. ”
"Where is the bar behind the mountain?"
"It's a place called Yayama Bar, you go out and turn right and walk along the road, and it's only 20 minutes away. ”
The stranger was very familiar with the local situation, and knew that Xiang Yihang would arrive at the bar behind the mountain in about twenty minutes.
............
"It's you!"
"It's me. ”
After entering the bar, there is a reception desk on the left side of the door, and a hall on the left, with two rows of tables and chairs on it. At this time, there was a man sitting at the window table, and when he saw Xiang Yihang coming, he stood up and said hello.
Xiang Yihang walked over and sat down on the opposite side, only to find that the stranger opposite was actually one of the people who participated in the search and rescue of Majestic the day before yesterday. There were two cold drinks on the table, and it seemed that the other party had already called one for him.
The stranger was not very old, about 23 years old. But it looks more mature, and his gestures are very steady.
"What do you have to tell me?"
"Actually, it's not news, it's just some of my observations, and I want to tell you. ”
"Isn't it news?" Xiang Yihang came with high expectations, and was a little unhappy when he learned that it was not Meiqi. If the other party says something inconsequential, he decides to leave immediately, he is not here to listen to nonsense.
Seeing that Xiang Yihang's face was not good, the stranger didn't react at all, and asked Xiang Yihang: "I heard that your name is Xiang Yihang, right?"
"Yes. Xiang Yihang replied.
"I used to grow up in the countryside. My family raised pigs and cattle, so I had a very tiring childhood and needed to help my parents raise cattle. The stranger said to himself.
"Does this have anything to do with Maggie's disappearance?" Xiang Yihang asked, staring at the stranger opposite.
"No, but it has something to do with what I'm going to tell you. ”
"Oh, then you go ahead. ”
"At that time, in the countryside, every household raised cattle, not to eat meat, but to produce farm fertilizer to grow rice.
Generally, after the autumn harvest, the crops in the field are harvested, and at this time the cattle can be herded up the mountain to graze, and they can be kept until the following year. Spring ploughing begins after the rain in Qingming Valley, and the cattle cannot be released to graze, or the crops in the fields will not be destroyed.
At this time, we need to go up the mountain every day to cut the grass and come back, the grass is used to raise cattle, and the cattle that can't be eaten are fermented in the cattle pen and turned into farm fertilizer.
So every summer vacation, I go home, in order to raise cattle and produce farm fertilizer, I go up to the mountains to cut grass before dawn every day. However, at that time, every family raised cattle, and everyone went to the mountains to cut the grass, and the grass on the mountains was not enough for everyone to cut. Therefore, you have to go out early every day to find a place where the weeds are a little thicker, so that you can cut enough to go home. ”
Speaking of which, the stranger on the other side took a sip of his drink.
Xiang Yihang sat silent, without any expression.
Finding his words unappealing, the stranger continued: "I am very sensitive to the density of grass because I was a child mowing grass and feeding it to cattle. When we went down to the designated area that day, we found nothing, not even the slightest sign of the destruction of the turf branches. So everyone walked around.
I didn't pay attention at first, but by chance, I noticed that the grass on both sides of the route I was walking was slightly different, with sparse grass on the outward side and denser grass on the area you specified. I thought it was an accident, so I continued walking, carefully checking the changes in the grass, and after walking for two hundred meters, I was sure that the grass on both sides of the route I was walking was really different. But that kind of small difference, the average person simply does not notice.
When I came up, I looked at the line I was walking from above, and found that the lines were connected to form an oval, but I didn't notice the existence of this ellipse at all if I hadn't noticed the anomaly in the grass beforehand. The area covered by that ellipse is about two acres.
I didn't tell anyone about it, and I thought it wasn't anything strange, it might just be caused by geology. ”
The stranger took another sip of his drink.
"What do you want to say?" Xiang Yihang listened a little loudly, feeling unreliable at all, does this cliff fall have a hairy relationship with the dense grass, don't entertain your uncle and me.
"I would say that there is something quirky about that place. ”
"According to what I know, there have been people who have fallen off a cliff there in history, but there is a similar case, that is, there is also a woman who can't find anyone after falling. ”
"How do you know this?" Xiang Yihang was a little curious.
"I actually have an uncle who does local history, and he knows that. He told me something about what happened the day before yesterday. ”
"Just because of this, you say that this thing is strange? I don't know if it's not accidental, or the mountain wind is too strong, and it just happens to blow to which mountain. ”
"Of course it's possible, but what I see is not wrong, and combined with what my uncle said, I don't think it's that simple. It's a bit quirky there. But I can't say why. The stranger insisted on his opinion.
"What is so strange about a person of this size, after falling, without seeing anyone alive or dead?
"Well, I'm sure you've also learned about Huashan. According to research, the Huaxia is from this, and the historical origin of Huashan can be seen. Historically, Huashan has always been a holy place for Taoists to aspire to practice, and it is a famous Taoist cave blessed land. Chen Luan, Lao Zu and other Taoist masters have all practiced in Huashan. ”
"Do you think these legendary things have anything to do with Mei Qi's disappearance, and if so, do you mean that Mei Qi is actually a Taoist master who can fly to the sky and leave the world? Or was she rescued by Taoist immortals after she fell?"
"I'm just talking to you about my thoughts, after all, cultivating truth and cultivating immortals are too far away from reality, and I'm also skeptical. I'm just saying there's weirdness in this, and if someone falls down and can't find it, then either there's really something we can't find or there's really weirdness. If there is something weird, I think it has something to do with metaphysics, that's my idea. The stranger said hurriedly.
"I thought you had some inside information, but it turned out to be. Xiang Yihang was disappointed, thinking that there was some great discovery, it turned out to be an unreliable conjecture, in this era, if there are still these things, will the world still be like this?
"I know you don't believe it, but the legend of Huashan is really not as simple as you think, since ancient times, it has attracted so many Taoists to practice here, not without reason, maybe there is really something we don't know?
Let's just say that woman, do you know where she came from? Do you know why she jumped off? If you really want to find a short view, why do you want to come to Huashan? And according to what you said, such a big beauty, a great youth and a good future, why should people look for a short view?" The stranger was also anxious, and a series of questions broke out.
Listening to this series of questions, Xiang Yihang was also a little confused, yes, such a beautiful beauty, why should she look for a short time? Now thinking about the scene at that time, she really did not have any abnormal performance, neither like being crushed by pressure, nor like being caused by emotional problems, because these things were not reflected on her face at all.
Besides, I bought a jade halfway up the mountain, and finally gave it to him, and after sending it, I didn't explain anything, not even a last word, what does it mean, does it make sense for a person who wants to find a short-term to do these things?
At this time, Xiang Yihang also began to waver a little, could it be that there was really something I didn't know?
But he couldn't tell the stranger on the other side about this, so he took the opportunity to say that it was late and he wanted to go back to rest, because he would leave Huashan tomorrow.
Although he didn't get any specific useful information, Xiang Yihang still exchanged contact information with the stranger opposite, and learned that the other party's name was Fang Ziyou.
Fang Ziyou is a native of Huayin, and after graduating from university, he has not officially looked for a job, and with his yearning for the Taoist holy land, he came to the scenic spot to apply for a job and participated in the search and rescue team.
......
Back at the hotel, Xiang Yihang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The things he encountered in the past few days have nothing to do with him strictly speaking, he just witnessed what happened, aside from the jade sent by the beauty, he is actually a passerby.
But emotionally speaking, the beauty he met by chance impressed him very deeply, and he was reminded that the beauty gave a smile in response, and that smile was deep in Xiang Yihang's heart. Then the two went up the mountain together, although they didn't talk much, but they were accompanied by super beauties, and they didn't dislike him, Xiang Yihang's heart was beautiful. Finally, at the moment of the cliff, the beautiful woman's bright smile made him feel that the world was shining. At the last moment, they also gave him a jade of 18,888 yuan.
Although he thinks it's a fake, but as soon as he makes a move, the person who is 10,000 or 20,000 should not have a bad eyesight, it is likely that there is something in it that he can't understand, and even the stall owner himself doesn't understand what he sells.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yihang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, yes, why did people send this thing to him, is there any special meaning?
Thinking of the jade that Meiqi gave her at the end, and what she said, "You may be able to use it", Xiang Yihang had no intention of sleeping anymore.
He got up and picked up his coat from the couch and pulled the jade out of his jacket pocket. After he received the jade thrown by Meiqi that day, he casually put it in his jacket pocket, and he almost forgot a series of things in the past few days.
Looking at the dark and dirty jade, Xiang Yihang took it into the bathroom, washed it with boiling water, and then wiped it constantly, and after more than half an hour, the jade gradually revealed its true color, only to see that under the light, the jade was crystal clear, emerald green, and more crystal clear than any jade and emerald he had ever seen.
Xiang Yihang pointed the jasper stone at the light of the dresser, and the light was refracted through the jasper, emitting an extremely soft green glow. Xiang Yihang couldn't help but lean his eyes over, and at this time, the light refracted by the jade stone happened to hit his eyes, and a miracle happened instantly.
