It rained just now, and a heavy rain washed away a lot of dirt on this land.
The air outside the house was mixed with the fragrance of earth and vegetation. I took a deep breath and felt that my mind suddenly became much clearer.
I was walking around, and when I walked to the side, I took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, and then took one out, lit it, put it in my mouth, and started puffing away.
I don’t know when I started, but whenever I’m in a bad mood or I can’t figure something out, I like to smoke a cigarette.
I have to say that Yan is really addictive. Once you take the first puff, it will be difficult to quit.
I originally wanted to call Meng Shiyu, but Panjiagou was too remote and there was no signal, which made me very helpless.
It's been two or three days since I arrived in Panjiagou. I didn't say a word to Meng Shiyu before I left, and now she has disappeared for so many days without any reason. She will definitely worry me.
Thinking of this, I secretly blamed myself for thinking too poorly about the problem.
But now that I have arrived at Panjiagou, I definitely can't go back like this.
The only thing I can do now is to find out about Zhang Dan's disappearance as soon as possible. Only in this way can I go back to see Meng Shiyu as soon as possible, and only in this way can I give Zhao Yali an explanation.
While thinking about these things, I had finished smoking the cigarette in my mouth.
I threw the remaining short cigarette butts on the ground and planned to go into the house.
"Dong Dong..." But just when I was about to leave, a noise outside attracted my attention.
"Dong dong..." The sound sounded again, but this time the sound was much quieter than the first time.
Axiu was cooking in the kitchen, and Loach was also helping, so the sound I heard just now could not have been caused by them.
I glanced around carefully, and finally my eyes slowly fell on the broken pot covering the cellar.
When I suddenly rang the last time, I also heard a vague "dong dong" sound outside, and I originally planned to take away the broken pot and go down to the cellar to take a look!
But in the end, something else happened, so I had to give up.
Now I heard the "dong dong" sound again. It can't be a coincidence!
I'm afraid it's not just the sweet potatoes hidden under this cellar, there must be other things as well.
Because I don't believe that sweet potatoes can make a "dong dong" sound.
I began to wonder, if there really is something down here, would it be a wild boar or something like that?
Panjiagou is in the mountains, so it is quite normal for wild boars to be found here, and what wild boars like to do most is to eat the crops that farmers have worked so hard to grow.
But after I thought about it carefully, I felt that this assumption of mine was unlikely.
First, although wild boars like to eat crops, the cellar is covered by a hole. How high must the wild boar's IQ be to enter the cellar on its own and then put the broken pot back far away?
Secondly, if there are really wild boars underground, it is indeed possible to make all kinds of strange sounds.
But the key point is that beasts are full of animalistic nature. If they are trapped in one place for a long time, they will definitely become anxious and make a lot of noise.
But under this cellar, except for the occasional "dong-dong" sound, there were no other sounds. Looking at the movement, it didn't seem like there were wild beasts down there!
"Oops!" I patted my head, thinking that instead of thinking so much here, I might as well go down there and see for myself, so that I would have a very clear idea of what is in the cellar.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated and moved the black pot aside.
It was already nighttime, and it was so dark in the cellar that I couldn't see anything clearly.
I took out my phone and jumped right in.
After entering the cellar, I used the light of my mobile phone and slowly walked forward.
"Rustling, rustling..."
Suddenly I heard a "rustling" sound, like something moving quietly in the dark. The sound I heard was made by that thing touching the sweet potato vines.
Come on, I just came down to take a look, but I didn’t expect that there was really something underneath!
I began to secretly become alarmed. If the beast in the lower cellar was really a wild boar, I was now empty-handed, but I had to be careful.
The cellar looks quite big. With the light of my mobile phone, all I can see are sweet potatoes.
I haven't found the thing that made the noise yet, so I held up my phone and kept walking.
"Pa la..."
After walking a few steps, I stopped. At the same time, my heart trembled violently. Just now I heard another footsteps besides mine in the cellar.
My heart is pounding. Someone is hiding under this cellar!
And thinking about the first time I heard the sound coming from the cellar, I am afraid that another person in the darkness has been hiding in the cellar for a long time. It is estimated that he was already hiding before I came to Panjiagou.
Here it is.
But what is his purpose? It can't be just to steal a few sweet potatoes, right?
"Huhu..." In the darkness, I pricked up my ears and heard another heavy breathing.
After hearing the breathing coming from the other side, I suddenly felt relaxed, and then a proud smile appeared on my lips.
It seems that I don't need to be so careful. The person hiding in the dark is as scared as me. Even listening to his breathing, I guess he is more afraid of me than I am of him.
Thinking of this, I have made a very bold decision in my heart.
"Ahem..." I coughed twice, "I know you have been hiding down there all this time. Now that I have discovered you, you should stop hiding and come out quickly!"
After I finished speaking, there was silence in the cellar, and no one responded to me.
But I was not anxious at all. I knew that my feeling was correct. There must be another person besides me in this cellar not far away from me.
He must be very nervous at this moment, having a fierce ideological struggle over whether he should come out.
There are two children fighting in his mind. Should the child who supports him to stand up defeat the child who does not support his stand-up, or the child who does not support his stand-up defeat the child who supports his stand-up? There will be an answer soon.

"Papa..."
"Papa..."
Clear footsteps came, and it seemed that my words had an effect.
