"A ghostly village?" Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the boss.
"There was a village in the mountains. A long time ago, there was only a narrow mountain road connecting it, and the rest were all cliffs, so it has always been very closed. Because life was so inconvenient, the young people left and never came back, and the few old people left slowly slowly
If it is gone, the place will be completely deserted. Decades ago, that path was also cut off due to a landslide, and there will be no sound there anymore," the boss said in a low voice.
"Is that so? What's going on in the ghost village?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"After the place became deserted, even the officials gave it up. But in recent years, some out-of-towners who like to make troubles still want to go on adventures. As a result, many people who went in said they saw ghosts. They took risks in various ways
I went in, but the yin energy there was so strong that I couldn’t even breathe.
When I smoked, I felt very dull, my head felt dizzy, and my heart felt uncomfortable, as if I smelled gas. Some people actually saw ghosts with their own eyes! They were so scared that they almost didn't come back. Some people also fell off a cliff because of the dangerous road.
I can't even find the corpse." The boss talked calmly.
Zhang Xiaosheng blinked at him and asked, "Isn't this a story?"
"This young man! What a story! Even the elderly locals know it!" The boss was a little displeased.
Friends, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t know how to continue.
"Old man, take this money as a thank you for providing the information." Sun Renyi looked at Zhang Xiaosheng.
The other party understood immediately and took out two hundred yuan and handed it over.
The boss's eyes lit up and he said, "Isn't this... bad?"
As he spoke, he stuffed the money into his pocket and smiled with big yellow teeth.
"Seeing that you are also good people, let me say a few more words." The boss coughed.
"All ears." Zhang Xiaosheng nodded.
"This...that village. From the intersection in the north, keep walking along the mountain road. Finally, when there is no road, go over three mountains and you can see a large bamboo forest. Go southwest to the west of the bamboo forest, and you may be able to find that village.
"Huh? Why am I talking about this? You can't go on an adventure, right?" The boss looked at them sideways.
"I definitely won't go to a place like that, you're stupid!" Yu Xiaolong waved his hand.
"Well, that's good. The mountains there are all covered with green trees. Whenever you see three bare mountains, you are outside the village. Inside those three mountains, there is an uninhabited ghost village. Let me go back.
Don’t go!” the boss said meaningfully.
"No, I definitely won't go!" Yu Xiaolong nodded.
"Uh, old man, has our town ever entered that village and come back, and is it still there now?" Sun Renyi asked.
"Over the years, people from other places who don't know the heights of the earth have gone there to climb mountains, but I don't know if they know about that village. A long time ago, I heard that there were local hunters who entered that village, and they are still alive now.

, he seems to be over ninety years old, right?" The boss raised his head and thought.
"Oh? Really? Where does that hunter live now?" Yu Xiaolong's eyes lit up.
The boss looked at him, squinted his eyes and asked, "Young man, you're not really going, are you? I kindly remind you that curiosity killed the dog, and your life is important."
Zhang Xiaosheng immediately took out two more bills and handed them over. The other party took them over and said, "You outlanders are just struggling to get enough to eat. You don't know what to do... Follow this road to the east and there is a river six miles away."
There is a hilltop across the river, and on the other side is the man's residence." The boss said casually.
Yu Xiaolong held his chin and thought, and after a moment he said: "Okay, thank you, brother!"
The boss stood up and waved his hands and said: "Hey, I have nothing to do at night anyway. Everyone is getting cold after eating, haha."
After that, he patted the pocket where the money was placed and went to the back.
The friends looked at each other, and Zhao Dayu asked first: "Which village are we going to? Don't we have other things to do this time?"
"I have a feeling... that village is not simple." Yu Xiaolong murmured to himself.
"Brother Yu, we have important things to do here this time. Can you not think about the ghost village issue for now? I'm convinced." Wan Yanfeng said boredly, dragging her cheeks.
"Okay." Yu Xiaolong sighed.
It was already late at night after everyone finished eating. After returning to the factory compound, before they could stand firm, the man who contacted them suddenly knocked on the door hurriedly.
Zhang Xiaosheng opened the door, and the other party rushed in and said: "It's broken, it's broken!"
"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaolong felt bad.
"I don't know when those people disappeared!" the man said anxiously.
"Ah? Didn't you say that there were people staring at the whole circle of the yard?" Zhang Xiaosheng was stunned.
"On the night you went out, the circuit in that yard was broken. People there asked an electrician to repair it. We happened to have one of our own and went there. He found a reason to check all the house circuit problems, but the person in the car you were following was missing.
Got it!" Manly, he clapped his hands.
"What's going on! How could he disappear after staring so hard? Did the electrician see it right?" Yu Xiaolong was worried.
"He made an excuse to go to all the rooms to check the circuits. In those few rooms, there was really no one else, only one man was there." The man shook his head.
"Is the car that came here still there?" Wang Tianxiang asked.
"Yes, still in the yard!" The man nodded.
Sun Renyi said: "Okay, that's it, go and do your work, it'll be fine."
The man left sadly, feeling very guilty.
"How could this happen? How did those people escape?" Wan Yanfeng frowned, very puzzled.
"Cui Haiyang is not an ordinary person. It's not difficult to sneak away quietly." Sun Renyi said, stroking his mustache.
"Then what should I do? Now
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack? Where can I find it?" Zhang Xiaosheng patted his thigh angrily.
After everyone was silent for a while, Sun Renyi said: "It's useless to go out and look for it now. We should try another method."
Yu Xiaolong blinked and said, "I always feel that Cui Haiyang is related to that village."
"Brother Yu, you mean, where did Cui Haiyang go? Where is Cui Yueyue?" Wan Yanfeng was surprised.
"I don't know, it's just intuition." Yu Xiaolong shook his head.
Everyone fell into silence again. After a long time, Sun Renyi said: "That's all we can do now."
"To which village?" Wang Tianxiang asked.
"Before we go, we need to go find the hunter first and ask him clearly." Yu Xiaolong nodded slowly.
Early the next morning, the group of people arrived there following the hotel owner's route.
This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a small river next to it. There are two houses and a vegetable garden outside the door.
Wan Yanfeng walked to the house, knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone there?"
The room was silent, and no one seemed to be inside.
The door was not locked, so Wan Yanfeng pushed it open gently. The furnishings inside were quite messy, with all kinds of things piled on the floor in an orderly manner. It looked like a man was living without a woman.
The owner was not here, so Wan Yanfeng did not go in. She looked at her friend and shook her head.
"Hey! Where have you gone?" Yu Xiaolong said depressedly.
"Isn't he a hunter? Did he go hunting?" Zhao Dayu said.
"Brother Zhao, he is over ninety and he still hunts? It would be great if he can go out." Zhang Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"How about... we don't wait and go directly?" Wang Tianxiang blinked.
"No, it's better not to break into that village at will. You must find out more before talking." Sun Renyi shook his head.
"What if he doesn't come back?" Wan Yanfeng asked.
"At such an old age, I guess I won't go far. I might be back soon." Zhang Xiaosheng looked around.
My friends have no choice but to wait here.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Zhao Dayu suddenly stood up and said, "Look, is that him?"
Everyone looked and saw a staggering figure walking in the distance, not very fast, carrying something in his hand.
When the other party approached, he realized that there were several people standing there, and he asked confusedly: "Who are you?"
Yu Xiaolong looked at him carefully. He had a dark face and a strong sense of age. He was not short, but he was a little hunched due to his age.
"Hello, grandpa, we are here to climb mountains. We are tired here and want to take a rest. Do you have water here?" Wan Yanfeng asked with a smile.
The other party nodded and said: "Yes, please wait a moment, I will get it."
When he entered the house and got some water, he said with a half-smile, "You are here to climb a mountain? I don't think so, haha."
