"Mr. Tang, look quickly, there seems to be a house up ahead!"

The two walked for about 10 days and finally saw smoke coming out of a house.

After following the smoke for more than an hour, I finally saw the first house I had seen in a long time.

"Let's go ask if there's a way out. It would be even better if we have a car!"

God knows what kind of life Ye Qian has been living these days. She travels during the day and has trouble eating or sleeping at night.

I don’t know when that old knife will catch up with me, and occasionally I will encounter one or two powerful beasts.

They didn't know where this forest was located, and they had even seen brown bears.

They could even hear the faint howling of wolves at night. If they were not quite far away from them, they would have been unable to sleep.

Now, they finally saw each other and were both very happy, but Tang Xinyi stopped Ye Qian from going forward to ask for directions.

"Let's hide in the dark and observe for a while. We must know that in this deep forest, even if there are people living there, we can't easily reveal ourselves."

"Who knows if this is just ordinary mountain folk or a human trafficker's den?"

The two of them, who have watched countless TV dramas, were a little scared when they thought about this.

I heard that some women were trafficked to the deep mountains and forests, and then forced to give birth to children for those reckless men in the mountains.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but what is even more terrifying is that there is actually the practice of sharing wives in the mountains, that is, several brothers only marry one wife.

I heard that such women are abused by different men every day and are forced to give birth to more children.

Both of them hid in fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief after they saw that an elderly couple was living in the room and there was no one else.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two finally mustered up the courage to come out and asked the two old men for directions.

"You two are tourists in the scenic area, right?"

"How did you get here?"

Seeing the two people's miserable appearance, the old couple just thought they were tourists from a nearby scenic spot.

But don’t scenic spots have signboards?

How could they come to such a remote place?

"We don't know how we got here. Could you two tell us the way back?"

"Our family and friends are still waiting for us there. If we don't go back, they will probably be worried to death!"

Seeing the two women looking so pitiful, the old couple couldn't bear it.

"It's almost dark, it's not safe to travel now!"

"Although there are no large wild animals nearby, the mountain roads are difficult to walk on, and some places are extremely steep. Why don't you stay at our house for the night? I'll have my wife take you out tomorrow morning!"

"There's a bus passing by at the foot of the mountain, so it'll be convenient for you to go back!"

The old couple didn't seem to be bad people, so Tang Xinyi and Ye Qian decided to stay. As long as they were alert at night, there shouldn't be any problem.

Seeing how miserable the two looked, the old couple made a bowl of noodles for them.

"Eat something before going to sleep!"

"Rest early tonight, we'll set off early tomorrow morning!"

The old man and the old woman put the noodles on the table and watched the two of them wolfing down the noodles, feeling pity in their hearts.

After eating, Tang Xinyi asked Ye Qian to go to bed first, while she sat by the fire with the old man and the old woman, chatting while warming themselves by the fire.

"Auntie, this place is so remote, why don't you move down the mountain?"

Tang Xinyi looked at the two old people curiously. Why did they live in the mountains?

Today's society is not like the past.

People like the two elderly people can apply for subsistence allowances even if their families have no money.

Moreover, for the special case of the elderly, the country should have corresponding care policies.

Why did the two of them live alone in the mountains?

If you have a headache or a fever, it will be difficult to go down the mountain.

"Oh, that's a long story!"

It turns out that these two elderly people came here to travel with their son five years ago.

They were camping where the house is now.

But later, the son said he wanted to go hunting in the mountains, and he went into the mountains with a few of his friends and never came back.

The two elderly people called the police at that time, and the police also went to the mountains to look for him, but they couldn't find him after searching for several days, so they had to give up.

But the two old people didn't want to give up, so they built two small houses here and waited for their son to come out.

Tang Xinyi recalled the scenes along the way they had walked, and did not find any human corpses anywhere.

What's more, there are plenty of wild beasts in the mountains. Even if someone died there, they would probably have been eaten by those wild beasts.

But even if it was eaten by wild beasts, the equipment should still be there. However, the two of them did not see anything belonging to humans as they walked along.

So, although the old couple pointed to the direction Tang Xinyi and the others came out, Tang Xinyi estimated that no one died on the same road.

"Uncle and Madam, I don't know your son's name. I can help find it later!"

Since no clues were found along the way, there are only two possibilities. One is that they went to another place and something happened, and the other possibility is that they left from another place.

As long as the old man and woman are not lying, it is unlikely that so many people will die if they enter the mountains.

When the old man and the old woman heard that Tang Xinyi was willing to help, they told her their son's name and ID number.

He even reported the names of several of his son's friends.

The old lady walked into her room trembling, and quickly took out a missing person notice and handed it to Tang Xinyi.
