He felt that his trachea was ignited with a bang at this moment, and the burning and pungent feeling instantly filled his abdominal cavity.
He screamed, fell to the ground, covered his neck and gasped violently. It felt like someone was strangling his neck, and he almost suffocated.
"Mr. Chen, what's going on?" Chen Biao was shocked. He didn't expect the mouse's reaction to be so big.
"Don't worry, it's a normal reaction." Chen Yu said calmly: "Clear the accumulated toxins in his lungs, and he will be fine after a while."
It took ten minutes for the mouse to get up. His face was pale and he was breathing heavily.
His mouth and nose were filled with some black material, which was cleared from his lungs.
"How do you feel?" Chen Yu asked.
"Okay, much better." The mouse stammered.
"You will no longer be addicted to cigarettes in the future, but you still can't help but think about those things. It depends on your own self-control." Chen Yu said.
"Mouse, it's not easy to get ashore. From now on, you can be a serious person and be patient when you think about it." Chen Biao sighed.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will pick it up." Mouse nodded gratefully.
The two cars continued to move forward. Hunan Province was very mountainous, and there was only a dilapidated road in Qingshui Village where Chen Yu wanted to go.
Fortunately, we had prepared an off-road vehicle when we came, so even on such a bumpy mountain road, the car could move forward normally.
Near noon, we finally arrived at Qingshui Village, a small village with only a few dozen people.
Like most rural areas, the young people in this place have gone out to find a living, and most of the people in the village are elderly people.
The village party secretary was already in his seventies. When Chen Yu said Zhou Chengen's name, the old party secretary asked with some confusion: "Zhou Chengen? He has been dead for several years. Why are you looking for him?"
"I'm looking for him to find out something that happened many years ago. Has he passed away?" Chen Yu asked.
Although he already knew that Zhou Chengen had passed away when he arrived, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he found him, he might be able to figure out what happened that year.
"Yes, he has passed away. His son runs a company in Ningcheng. He has not been back for many years. When he passed away, a funeral was held at home. He is now buried in their ancestral graves." said the old party secretary.
"Can you take us to see his graveyard?" Chen Yu asked.
"That's no problem." The old party secretary said to himself: "It's strange, why are there so many waves of people looking for Zhou Chengen?"
"Has anyone been here before?" Chen Yu was stunned.
"Yes, they are two women. They also donated a lot of money to the village, saying they were building roads in our village." said the old party secretary.
"What are their names?" Chen Yu was surprised. These two women must be He Lingyun and Mu Xi.
"The leader's surname is He. They came here in the morning and are now heading towards Zangtouling." said the old party secretary.
"Thank you, old party secretary, let's go." Chen Yu stood up.
"Aren't you going to visit Zhou Chengen's grave?" the old party secretary stood up.
"I'm not going." Chen Yu stood up.
"You guys should go back to Ningcheng first." Chen Yu said to Chen Biao: "I have some personal matters to deal with. After I finish handling them, I will go back to Ningcheng to find you."
"Okay boss." Chen Biao nodded.
Chen Yu drove one of the off-road vehicles, asked for directions to Zangtou Ridge, and drove there.
He Lingyun came out this time to relax. The scenery and customs in the depths of Hunan were indeed good, but she didn't know that there was danger hidden under this beautiful scenery.
After walking for more than ten kilometers on the mountain road, a river appeared in front of him. Chen Yu looked at the map and saw that there was no mark on Zangtou Ridge at all.
At this time, an old man herding sheep passed by. Chen Yu stepped forward and asked, "Old sir, where is Xiazangtou Ridge?"
"After crossing the river, we can walk more than ten kilometers to the west, but there is no way forward from that place." The old man glanced at Chen Yu: "It's getting late, what are you doing there?"
"Looking for someone, thank you sir." Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Young man, I would like to advise you not to go to that place at night." The old man shook his head and said.
"Uncle, what happened there?" Chen Yu asked.
"People in that place don't like to interact with outsiders." The old man said, "And that place is where the corpse chasers live at night. I sincerely advise you not to go."
Chen Yu was startled and suddenly had an ominous premonition. He Lingyun was afraid that He Lingyun would accidentally enter there. It was almost dark now, so he had to rush there quickly.
"Thank you, uncle, I will be careful." Chen Yu said and jumped into the car.
In the car, Chen Yu quickly dialed He Lingyun's number, but the signal in the mountains was extremely poor, and he couldn't get through after several attempts.
He was worried about her safety in his heart, so he stepped on the accelerator and rushed in that direction.
He Lingyun is indeed at Zangtou Ridge.
She came out this time to relax, so she traveled around and inquired about Zhou Chengen.
But Zhou Chengen was dead, but Zhou Chengen's son was in Ningcheng. She and Mu Xi discussed it and planned to go forward for a while and then go to Ningcheng.
But when passing by Zangtou Ridge, she was attracted by the architectural style of this place, so she decided to stay here for one night.
There is a B&B in this place, which is an inn with ancient style architecture.
There are no customers in the inn, and there are no waiters. Only the landlady is here.
This place is similar to an inn, with not many guests. He Lingyun and Mu Xi are sitting and chatting in the pavilion.
"Sister, don't be discouraged. You will find clues. Zhou Chengen is no longer here, but his son is still there." Mu Xi said, "We will definitely be able to find out what happened back then if we find his son."
"Well, I hope so." He Lingyun nodded.
"You two, it's time to eat." At this moment, a red shadow flashed, and a woman came over.
This is the innkeeper's wife. She is dressed in a bright red ethnic minority costume. She speaks slowly and slurringly, and there is always a strange light in her eyes, giving people a strange feeling.
"Thank you, we brought our own things." Mu Xi glanced at her with an unhappy expression.
She felt there was something wrong here, but it was rare that He Lingyun liked the scenery here, so she decided to stay here for one night.
However, there are many people in the He family in Shengjing who hope that something will happen to He Lingyun, so she is very cautious when going out, and will not eat anything outside if she can.
"Gee, are you afraid that I will poison you, Miss Mu?" The landlady smiled and said, "Ms. He, although we are a small shop in the wilderness, the food in the shop is very unique. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
"No need." Mu Xi said coldly, "You leave right away."
"Mu Xi..." He Lingyun stopped Mu Xi. She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, we will go over for dinner later."
"Well, Liu Suiyue, I'm waiting for you two." The landlady chuckled, turned and left.
