Chapter 135 Peach Blossom Forest
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
After taking the photos, Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli hurried down the mountain. Even though they ran too fast and fell several times, they did not dare to stop.
Time is life.
They couldn't let Ji Zhou down, so they had to go down the mountain as soon as possible to call the police and rescue him.
Wait, would calling the police help?
The two men looked at each other, their pace unconsciously slowing. These were no ordinary kidnappers, but supernatural beings with unscientific powers.
Even if I call the police, no one will believe me.
They should first find a famous temple or Taoist temple.
No, no, we should call the police first. Who knows if the Taoist priests and monks in those Taoist temples have real skills and knowledge? It would be terrible if they are just scammers who know nothing.
Just as the two of them were constantly searching in their minds for ways to deal with the supernatural creatures, hoarse roars brought them back from their thoughts.
"Ning Siyuan, Song Chengli, Ji Zhou..."
The calls echoed across the valley, making it sound a bit eerie.
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli's hair stood on end.
If it were a few days ago, they would definitely respond to others' calls with doubts, but having just escaped from the strange Taolin Village, they were afraid that they would just escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den.
Who knows if there are other supernatural creatures lurking in the mountains?
A name is the most important code for a person, and this kind of scene has appeared in movies, TV dramas and novels.
If the supporting character responds to the stranger's call easily, he will be attacked by a ghost or possessed in the next second.
Only a fool would agree to that.
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli collected their chaotic thoughts. The most important thing now was to get down the mountain. Only by leaving the mountain would they have a chance to seek help from the outside world.
The two men ran desperately down the mountain, avoiding the direction of the sound. As they ran desperately, the winding mountain road at the foot of the mountain finally came into their sight.
"Huff," "Huff," "Huff."
The two men stood on the cement winding mountain road and finally felt a sense of reality that they had escaped death.
But they were soon discovered.
“Found it, found it, they are here!”
A middle-aged man with a flashlight shouted excitedly towards the mountain, and then ran towards the two of them quickly.
Oh my god, it’s even more terrifying!
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli were so scared that they ran away.
The middle-aged man saw this and immediately quickened his pace, shouting, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you two running? Stop running! We've been looking for you all day. Where's the other person?"
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli simply didn't listen to him.
Don’t run?
Waiting to die?!
However, how could the two men, who had been hungry for a day and had been running in the mountains for several hours, outrun the energetic middle-aged man, not to mention that the middle-aged man had a lot of helpers.
After a while, Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli were blocked by a large group of people, including several uniformed police officers.
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli looked at each other.
Can a ghost pretend to be a police officer?
Did they misunderstand?
Song Chengli asked tentatively: "Who are you? What do you want to talk to us about?"
An older police officer in the crowd couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw the two men's vigilant expressions.
He said, "We are the police. Your parents reported you missing yesterday. We have been looking for you. Where is the other person?"
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli looked at each other.
Song Chengli asked again: "Do you know the 24-character core values?"
The whole group of people were almost laughing because of them.
The search for the man came not only from the police but also from the enthusiastic people. From yesterday to today, they searched in the mountains for seven or eight hours. Now that they finally found the man, they actually asked them if they knew the 24-character core values.
Isn't this funny?
In order to avoid buying a mountain hiking ticket, several college students did not take their own lives seriously, did not take their parents' concerns seriously, and did not take other people's time and energy seriously.
What a bunch of awful stuff!
A straightforward uncle cursed directly: "If you have time to ask us whether we know the 24-character core values, why not ask yourself whether you know how much harm this behavior has caused to your parents, and how much manpower and material resources the country has wasted to deal with you?"
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli were somewhat stunned by the scolding, but they still did not dare to let their guard down. After all, when they first met Grandpa Zhang, he seemed to be a very kind and normal old man.
The older policeman noticed something was wrong from the two men's inappropriate vigilance. He wondered where the other person had gone and if anything had happened.
The old policeman frowned again.
He instructed his apprentice, "Xiao Zhang, go and recite the 24-character core values to them. Lao Zhao, notify the two children's parents that they have found them."
Xiao Zhang, a young police officer who had just joined the job, thought that this was a test from his master, and quickly searched his mind for the specific content of the 24-character core values.
Found it!
Policeman Xiao Zhang skillfully recited the 24-character core values and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, he had memorized it during the exam last month and hadn't forgotten it, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing to check his phone on the spot.
After hearing the 24-character core values, Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli finally relaxed, and tears welled up in their eyes.
Ning Siyuan cried bitterly, and he stepped forward to grab the young policeman's clothes: "Uncle policeman, help us, we have encountered a ghost."
I'm only 23, at most three years older than you, not your uncle!
Also, can you please stop getting your tears and snot on my clothes?
TVT
Two invisible wide-noodle tears were left on Police Officer Xiao Zhang's face, but out of his duty as a people's policeman, he was still quite patient in comforting the crying college student in front of him.
As for what kind of ghost encounter?
Policeman Xiao Zhang, who believes in science, didn't care at all. He just thought that a few college students were so scared after staying in the mountains for a night that they imagined supernatural creatures in their minds.
Officer Xiao Zhang lowered his head and asked patiently, "You are Ning Siyuan, right? Where is Ji Zhou? Why are there only the two of you?"
Ning Siyuan sniffed: "Ji Zhou was taken away by a ghost."
Police Officer Xiao Zhang: ...
Are you kidding me?!
The others who heard this looked at Ning Siyuan as if he were a fool, but the old policeman frowned even more.
Based on his many years of experience, he believed that something must have happened to the student named Ji Zhou, and the other two students deliberately made up this lie because they were afraid of being held responsible.
Seeing that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, the old policeman stepped forward and said, "You two, follow me to the car first."
After all, public is not a good place to ask questions.
The old policeman took Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli into the police car, closed the door, and took out two bottles of mineral water and handed them to the two.
Ning Siyuan took the water and gulped it down. Song Chengli did the same. Soon, only a thin layer of water remained in the two 550ml bottles.
The old policeman couldn't help but persuade the two people who were drinking water so fiercely: "Drink slowly, drink slowly, there is more in the car."
The thirsty throats were moistened by the sweet mineral water, and the emotions and bodies of the two people were finally truly relaxed at this moment.
Song Chengli looked at the old policeman and said, "Uncle policeman, we didn't lie to you. There really is a ghost on the mountain."
Ning Siyuan also nodded repeatedly.
The old policeman smiled, but only gently, "You must be hungry. Can you ask someone to bring you some food?"
Ning Siyuan said anxiously: "What are you eating? If you eat any more, Ji Zhou will be eaten by the ghost."
"Uncle police, we really didn't lie to you."
"There's a peach blossom forest on the mountain. We were there when we were looking at the peach blossoms when we were tricked by a ghost old man and taken to their village. It was Ji Zhou who managed to negotiate with them and finally got the ghosts to agree to let us out."
Ning Siyuan became more and more anxious as he spoke, and his tone was filled with tears.
Song Chengli was calmer than him. Seeing that the police did not believe what they said, he took out the photo he took when he went down the mountain from his mobile phone.
"Look!"
The old policeman looked up but saw only ordinary mountain scenery. Not to mention a peach forest, he didn't even see a peach tree.
He said speechlessly: "Look for yourself."
The old policeman's reaction was beyond their expectations. Song Chengli took back his phone and was stunned.
"How is that possible?!"
After taking the photo, he looked at it a few more times, and only left with Ning Siyuan after making sure that the peach blossom forest was captured in his mobile phone.
Song Chengli opened the photo album on his mobile phone and kept searching.
No, no, and still no.
He was mentally broken.
Even the most rational person may not be able to remain calm in such a situation, let alone two children who have not experienced the beatings of society and have just escaped from a wolf's den.
Thinking that Ji Zhou was still waiting for them to find someone to save him, the two of them felt uncomfortable, and guilt and regret almost swallowed them up.
The old policeman was indifferent to the expressions on the two men's faces.
After working as a policeman for a long time, I have seen countless monsters and demons, and there are countless criminal suspects who lie with their eyes open and swear on their relatives.
"I'll go downstairs and get you something to eat. You should think carefully about where Ji Zhou is. After all, he's been my roommate for a few years. His parents are worried sick."
"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body."
"Even if you two refuse to tell us, the police will not give up looking for him. But if you two delay and something happens to him, you will also be held responsible."
The remaining sentence was naturally a deliberate deception to Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli.
After all, without clear evidence, the court could not convict them. The most urgent task was to find the remaining student, so the old policeman thought of scaring them.
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli were indeed frightened.
It was not only because of the old policeman's words, but also because they knew in their hearts that they were able to escape thanks to Ji Zhou.
If they failed to rescue Ji Zhou, it would be equivalent to them killing Ji Zhou, and this matter would always be a concern for them.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
A phone call suddenly sounded in the closed police car. Ning Siyuan looked down, tears welling in his eyes: "It's my mother calling."
"Hey, Mom..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, tears started pouring down.
Song Chengli also received a call from his parents. After reminiscing about the past with his parents, he hurriedly told them the situation.
When faced with their children's stories about ghosts and gods, both sets of parents were much more receptive than the police. Everyone has heard of a few supernatural stories these days.
It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not.
However, the two sets of parents gave completely different responses to the subsequent handling.
Listening to his parents' voices, Song Chengli opened his mouth, but his hoarse throat made him unable to speak.
Do you really not care?
"Dad, Mom, but..."
"But what? Don't say but. You guys finally escaped. If you get involved in this again, what if those ghosts hate you?"
"Chengli, don't blame your parents for being selfish. You are their only child. If anything happens to you, how will we live?"
Every word was filled with tears and blood, like a heavy hammer hitting Song Chengli's heart, making him unable to open his mouth to refute.
After learning the news about their son, Song Chengli's parents rushed over and took him away in an extremely tough attitude.
From beginning to end, he silently followed his parents' arrangements.
Ning Siyuan looked at him in disbelief and angrily cursed: "Song Chengli, you beast, you don't even care about your dignity."
"If Ji Zhou hadn't tricked those ghosts into letting us down, do you think you could have walked out alive?"
