When Mustache left, he didn't have too complicated ideas. His purpose was very simple, just to find the roots of the family. The little information he got was all told to me by Ma Bao, which was general and vague. All he had to do was to start from Find something useful among these vague and scarce clues.
He set off, setting the goal of his first stop in Gansu, because in a series of previous experiences, he had often been active in Ningxia, Gansu, and was relatively familiar with it. When he left alone and walked farther and farther, there was only one thing in his heart: One thought is that I hope the people around me can live well and live peacefully.
In some novels and movies, there is a very bloody scene where a certain man (or a certain woman) gives up everything and even pays a greater price, just so that the people he loves can live well and let them live in peace. In the days to come, they will meet the next person they love, and they will leave silently when they find happiness.
If Mustache has read such novels or movies, maybe he will also find this kind of plot vulgar and unsightly. Are there such noble or so-so people in this world?
Maybe, even Mustache himself has never thought that he is that kind of person. He can give his life just to let me live. When everything calms down, he leaves alone again, just because he doesn't want to disturb my normal life. Life.
The information about the Six Fingers found in Baozi Mountain is actually the two metal objects of unknown origin. Other than that, there are no clues. One of the other two metal objects unearthed before this came from Gansu. Specifically, it was There is a place called Liangzihe in Yumen, Gansu.
Yumen is very remote and has a small population, not to mention Liangzihe. After Xiaozi arrived at Yumen, he tried to ask about it, but the person he asked seemed to know nothing about it and had no idea at all. Knowing that there was such a thing, he thought that it might have been too long, and the matter itself had been artificially blocked or covered up, so no one knew about it until now.
There is no other way. If Mustache wants to know more detailed information, he has to spend time and patiently search for it. People like him can only be found in the same industry. There are very few people who eat local food here in Yumen, and most of them come from other places. , dumped some valuable local goods and left, not staying for a long time. Finally, he spent money to find a local named Guaizi.
The kidnapper didn't know about it either, but he said they could inquire, but it might cost some money. They left Yumen directly and rushed to Liangzihe. It was the kidnapper who came forward to inquire about the information, and Mustache did not show up. After all, Liangzihe was close to the place where the metal objects were unearthed. After running around, Guaizi came back with a very important information. He found out the specific location of the incident, which was a village called Xiaojiashan near Liangzihe.
"The people in Xiaojiashan seem to be a little taboo about mentioning this matter. You are a bit cautious in doing things. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It is difficult to deal with the consequences if there is an accident." The kidnapper reminded Xiaowu before leaving.
Xiaojiashan may be the largest natural village around Liangzi River, but the size is only relative. The natural environment here is not good, and the village is extremely poor. The strong laborers in each family work hard to barely guarantee that the family can survive. After eating enough, when Mustache came here, his first feeling was as if he had returned to the Futushan People's Commune where he had been.
More than ten years have passed since the incident involving the metal object. At this time, Xiaojiashan has completely calmed down. Xiaozhu did not rush to the village to ask questions. He observed in secret for two days and then found a villager. When he asked
When talking about what happened more than ten years ago, the man's expression changed a bit, but the mustache's vision was very accurate, so he directly took out some money and handed it over.
"You would have been scolded if you asked about that gold plate. Fortunately, you asked me." The villager accepted the money without admitting that he had taken advantage.
"Have you seen that gold plate?" Mustache knew immediately that the gold plate the villagers were talking about was the metal object of unknown origin.
"No, no, everyone in the village who has seen that gold plate is dead." The villager waved his hands and shook his head: "I heard this from others."
"Where was the gold plate found? Take me to see it."
When he mentioned this, the villagers felt a little paralyzed, but after receiving the money, he had a premonition of this, so he still had the courage to lead the way.
That place was more than ten miles away from the village. They had no means of transportation and had to walk there. On the way, the villagers talked about the situation at that time. This place had always been a bit strange, but before the incident, the people in the village had no idea about that place.
Instead of being taboo, I think it is a land with spiritual energy. Because of the poor natural environment, all the land that can grow vegetation around the village has been reclaimed to grow food. Except for these cultivated lands, almost nothing can be grown in other places.
However, only the saplings planted in that place can survive.
The people in the village planted some trees there. Of course, they had no idea of greening. They only planted the trees so that they could be sold for some money after they were grown. The trees they planted grew like crazy and grew very tall and tall within two years.
Lush, these trees are probably the only extra income for the village besides growing food and herding sheep, so they attach great importance to them and have dedicated people taking care of these trees.
Then something happened. A few tens of meters away from these 110 trees, there was a dirt bag that was only seven or eight meters high. In the more than two years since the trees were planted, the villagers who protected the forest had never noticed it.
, and there was no abnormal phenomenon. But one morning, three villagers were in the small forest and heard a strange sound coming from the dirt bag. They were attracted to it and surrounded the small dirt bag.
After turning the bag around, the three people discovered that a hole with a diameter of just over one meter had somehow appeared on the back of the bag.
There must be no one around here, but this hole looks like a dug hole. The surrounding sand keeps flowing in, and the sound coming from the hole is very vague. The three people looked around the small hole for a long time, and they
It felt like this erratic sound was the ringing of a bell coming from a very far away place.
What happened next was a bit inexplicable. According to a survivor, they seemed to have drunk too much and had a very strong desire in their hearts to go in and have a look. This kind of desire appeared suddenly and became more and more frequent.
The stronger it becomes, as if a person who is about to starve to death suddenly finds a table full of food. He has no other thoughts and insists on eating even if he will die immediately after eating this meal. In the end, it reaches the point of being uncontrollable.
When he heard this, Mustache made a judgment. These three people must have been affected by some unknown factors. Otherwise, normal adults would always think conventionally when facing unknown things.
Two of the three people went down. They had no lighting tools, so they picked up some dry branches and tied them into a bundle. Two people got in along the entrance of the hole, and the remaining one stood guard outside.
The remaining person was also the only survivor. At that time, he could not see clearly what was inside through the hole, but after about ten minutes, the two people who entered suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream.
Floating out from the hole, the survivor's mind suddenly became clearer. He felt scared, extremely scared, because the scream was a bit outrageous.
This kind of sound is hard to describe, it's like the horrified scream of a person passing by a cemetery, when a pair of hands suddenly stretches out from the top of an old grave, grabs the passerby and drags him towards the grave.
This survivor didn't have any courage to go inside and see what was going on. He was frightened. The screams became more and more vague, but became more and more sad, as if something was dragging them and gnawing at them.
Their flesh and blood. The survivors fled back to the village to call for help. In such an isolated village, the relationship between people is a bit special, and bumping into each other is inevitable, but they all have a bottom line for getting along.
, even if two families just had a quarrel yesterday, if something happened to one of them today, the other family would not stand and watch the fun. So as soon as the survivors ran back and said something, dozens of strong laborers left their work in the fields and rushed over.
.
When they rushed over, no sound could be heard, leaving only a dark hole. They didn't know whether the two people were alive or dead, so someone immediately got in, trying to pull back the people who had gone in before. But more than a dozen
Minutes later, the heart-rending cry came out from the cave entrance again. Although it was broad daylight, the cry was cold and eerie.
If this situation were to be exposed to the outside world, the rescue operations would definitely stop immediately. It is unknown whether those who have already entered can be rescued, but the living people will no longer blindly take risks. However, the villagers' ideas are a bit simple or even dull, and they accept death.
, they believe that people fell in from here, and they must be rescued from here.
Immediately afterwards, five or six more people went down, carrying farm tools as weapons and ropes on their bodies. At least after an accident, people outside could use the ropes to pull the people inside back. This time, the shouts were louder.
It was miserable. More than a dozen people pulled the rope together outside, but when they pulled it back, it was empty.
The villagers could not say that they were not afraid, but at the same time they were extremely angry. More than ten people were killed one after another, and no one came up alive. It was not until more people died that they stopped this desperate rescue.
The older people began to persuade people not to be so reckless. They said that there was a lot of evil in this place, and it had already been provoked. If it was not handled well, it might affect the whole village, so a capable person was needed to come and suppress it.
