Chapter 187 The Story

Mei Qian saw that the expressions of the two forest rangers became very nervous, and her heart skipped a beat. She realized that the Shiren Valley they were talking about must be an unusual place, and hurriedly asked: "What happened to Shiren Valley? Is there any danger there?"

?”

"The terrain of Shirengou is complicated. Many people get lost when they go there for the first time, so very few people go there." The skinny middle-aged man looked a little flustered: "The key is, that place is so evil that even our rangers

, try to walk around as much as possible.”

There is a story in this.

Zhang Yu grabbed Mei Qian who was about to continue questioning, walked into the wooden house with a smile, sat down on the edge of the fire pit, and said: "It's really cold, let's drink something?" After saying that, he took out a few bottles from his backpack.

Wrapping beef jerky, he reached out and took out two bottles of high-strength liquor and paper cups.

It has to be said that in some aspects, Zhang Yu and Ning Chi, who are responsible for purchasing, are more thoughtful than Mei Qian, a fake expert, and Li Chen, a city kid.

This time, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to buy things in Lexiang, so I went shopping after getting off the plane. Necessary mountaineering equipment, food, medicine, etc. were all prepared for everyone. Seeing that there was still room in the bag, I stuffed two bags into each person.

Bottle of white wine.

The night is now cold and cold, and light rain has begun to fall outside, making the air damp and cold.

In this case, wouldn’t liquor be used to dispel cold and relieve fatigue and bring people closer together?

The two forest rangers looked at each other, sat back with a smile, and threw the potatoes and sweet potatoes they carried into the fire to roast.

However, only the skinny middle-aged man took the paper cup and drank with Zhang Yu. The bearded man held the rifle and watched happily, drinking only water from his own water bottle.

Through self-introduction, everyone knew that the bearded man was called Li Yuanzheng, and the skinny middle-aged man was called Qian Wenkang. They grew up in the mountains. Among them, Qian Wenkang had been working as a ranger for the longest time, more than 20 years ago.

"Brother Qian, tell us about Shirengou? What kind of dangerous method is it? If the little girl and the others go in, what hope do they have for survival?" After two sips of wine, Zhang Yu saw that the atmosphere was completely lively, and he

He took out a cigarette and handed it over, taking the opportunity to ask.

"There's nothing that can't be said. The locals have heard a lot about the legend of Shirengou. It's just that it's relatively remote and many people don't know the specific location. Secondly, nothing major has happened in the past ten years or so. Gradually,

, Except for those of us who often go to the mountains and forests, most people only listened to it as a story." Qian Wenkang used Zhang Yu's lighter to light a cigarette and said directly without concealing it: "However, more than ten years ago, I

I have encountered evil things..."

Shirengou is an inconspicuous small ravine in the Wushan Mountains. It is not marked on today's maps at all. It is just a name passed down by local people.

Why it was called this name is unknown.

However, because of the past years, people who entered the mountains always disappeared nearby, and no one was found alive or dead.

Some people say that it should be called Cannibal Valley, a cannibal valley.

Although Qian Wenkang went to school, he grew up listening to the old man's ghost stories and had awe in his heart.

After I became a forest ranger, I also followed the tradition of the older generation and deliberately bypassed the Shirengou area when patrolling. I worked there for several years without incident.

It wasn't until his fifth year of work that he and five colleagues patrolled near Shirengou and discovered two tents covered by fallen leaves.

"There are cages, shotguns and animal traps in the tent, which must have been left by poachers, but judging from the traces, it seems that no one has come back for several days." Qian Wenkang smoked a cigarette and suddenly sighed: "Our ranger's job is

, just to drive away poachers. When I learned about this situation, of course I had to check it out. It happened that it didn’t rain in those few days, so it was easy to find the footprints. Who knew that those two pairs of footprints went directly into Shirengou. Although in my heart

I was still scared, but all six of us were armed with guns, so we bravely followed them in."

"Then, what happened to you?" Mei Qian couldn't help but ask when she saw that he suddenly stopped talking and just smoked.

"It happened to be a cloudy day that day. Strangely enough, there was thunder in the sky as soon as we entered the ravine. Then, I became completely fascinated by the lake. I felt that there was a village in front of me, and it seemed to be celebrating some kind of festival.

People in the village were all dressed in opera costumes, and it was very lively and bustling. Red lanterns were lit at the entrance of each courtyard, and there were more than a dozen tables at the end of the village, filled with delicious chicken, duck, fish, and other delicious foods. I felt

I was just like in a dream, I had no control at all, I just felt hungry and wanted to eat. Fortunately, just when I was about to approach the table, I suddenly heard a gunshot and woke up. Only then did I know,

There is no village in front of me, it's just a piece of barren grassland." Qian Wenkang still seemed to be concerned when he talked about it now.

"What about the others?" Zhang Yu asked seriously.

"We were all woken up by the sound of gunshots. We didn't even care about poaching. They were all so frightened that they ran out." Qian Wenkang put out his cigarette butt and took another sip of liquor.

"You didn't report this situation?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"We reported it, and the police went into Shiren Valley. The ground there was either grass or gravel, and no footprints could be found. They analyzed that the poachers might have crossed the valley and ran away from the other side."

"Nothing happened to the police?" Mei Qian raised an eyebrow.

"No, some experts later said that there was thunder at that time, which caused us to hallucinate because of the magnetic field." Qian Wenkang smiled bitterly: "The six of us also got together, and everyone saw something different. Some people saw a group of monks chanting sutras.

, someone saw a group of dead people circling around two stone men, oh, and someone saw a zombie preparing to bite him, that is, he was frightened and fired a shot, saving everyone. When this happened, we also

I didn't dare to continue doing it, so they all resigned one after another. I also went to the county town to do a small business for two years, but I lost my money and had no choice but to come back to work."

"This hasn't happened in recent years?"

"We're all going around. Even if something happens, we don't know. No one will report it anyway." Qian Wenkang shook his head.

Mei Qian frowned: "You mentioned the hanging coffin before, is it also in Shirengou?"

"No, but it's not far away. But few people know about it. That's why I neglected it when I met those children yesterday." Qian Wenkang sighed regretfully.

Mei Qian and Zhang Yu looked at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Could Maomao and the other five of them be in the same situation as Qian Wenkang, and disappear due to hallucinations?

Then Qian Wenkang told the story about Shirengou that he heard when he was a child. Even the bearded Li Yuanzheng, who had been silent before, also shared one.

However, most of them were stories about gods and ghosts. Mei Qian and Zhang Yu were not interested, but Li Chen and Ning Chi listened with great interest.

In the end, it was too late, so everyone shared the baked potatoes and sweet potatoes, arranged the night watch, and then rested.

At dawn the next day, Mei Qian and Zhang Yu discussed it and asked the two forest rangers to go back to their hometown to deliver a message to the local police during breakfast. Time was urgent and they planned to go to Shirengou first.

Qian Wenkang naturally tried his best to stop them, but the four of them were here to find someone. After persisting, he knew that it was useless to persuade them, so he had no choice but to tell the location of Shirengou.

After watching the two rangers leave along the mountain road, Mei Qian and the others packed up their bags and headed straight for Shirengou...
