Chapter 56: Dark and Windy Night
After listening to this, Ye Qinglan asked, "Is he really lost?"
"no."
Xiao Chen went on to say that after hearing about this, he secretly went to inquire about it.
The family lived in a large compound in the north city. No one in the compound had heard of this incident, but they did mention that they used to live in the south city and moved into the large compound later.
Later he went to the South City to inquire. After the development of the South City over the years, many people no longer lived there. Only one family was still there. He remembered that the Undying Man did have a sister who was missing. The year she went missing was the year the Undying Man's family moved to the North City.
Regarding the matter of no feeling of pain, he thought about it for a long time before telling me about a small incident, which was about a little girl who was scalded by porridge and didn't cry or make a fuss even after she was burned.
At that time, some people even joked that they had given birth to a fool.
Her family forbade anyone to say that the girl was a fool, and they beat anyone who said that. After that, the girl bandaged any wounds she had, and as she grew older, she became smarter and smarter, and no one remembered the burn anymore.
Later, the overall environment became worse and worse. Some people got into accidents, some moved away... Everyone was in a panic and no one thought about this matter anymore.
After the neighbor said this, he made a guess:
"Now that I think about it, maybe the family realized that the environment was getting worse and worse, and that the little girl's incident would bring disaster, so they deliberately kept it a secret. They were even afraid that someone would remember the incident and expose their family, so they found an opportunity to move out. The little girl might not really be missing, and it's hard to say whether she's dead or missing."
Xiao Chen thought about the environment in previous years and believed that this was indeed possible.
Afterwards, he tried to lure the undead man out. Perhaps since he was now free, he was no longer afraid. He gave him two hundred dollars and ran home to inquire about the matter.
He was very young at the time, and his parents kept many things from him.
His sister's name is Weiwei.
I learned from her parents that there was vandalism everywhere back then, and they were really afraid that Weiwei's affair would be known to others and would harm themselves and others, so they wanted to send Weiwei to the countryside to hide.
But before they could leave, someone from their factory came to their door, mentioned the little girl, and expressed their desire to adopt Weiwei.
It was called adoption, but in fact it was a threat, so in order to protect the family, their parents gave up Weiwei.
But after all, she was their biological child, and they still had some friendship for each other. After sending the child away, they secretly went to check, but the child was not at that family in the factory at all. After asking, they found out that the man was asked by someone else to take the little girl away on purpose.
The other party refused to say who was leaving, and he died not long after.
But Xiao Chen learned from the deceased man's relatives that he had been in contact with a doctor named Jia Kui.
Ye Qinglan asked: "Where is Jia Kui now?"
"He's still in Yucheng. He's not a good doctor. He was fired from the hospital four years ago because of a medical accident. I've been following him these days and found that he goes out of town every day under the pretext of going fishing, but he actually goes to Malang Mountain outside Yucheng. I quietly approached Malang Mountain and found that there were guards there."
It was difficult for him to force his way in alone, so he quickly asked the team leader to come over.
Ye Qinglan listened and asked: "Are there many guards?"
"It's definitely not a small number. There might be spies among the people down the mountain. I could only watch from all around, and I found that there were four people around Jia Kui, and there were more than one person carrying vegetables and rice down the mountain."
After understanding the general situation, she asked Xiao Chen to take her to identify Jia Kui the next morning.
After the recognition, she told Xiao Chen some things and followed him. She followed Jia Kui all the way to the foot of Malan Mountain.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, she stopped following.
Instead, he picked a house among the houses near the foot of the mountain, and, under the pretext of buying chickens and ducks for the New Year, he stood in the vegetable garden in front of the house and looked up at the mountain.
Branches, unlike walls, are not hard things.
As long as it is not a hard object, even if it is a little thick, you can still see it.
The mountain is not big, nor is it high. There are people guarding it from the middle of the mountain. There are three people on the side close to the village, and I don’t know how many there are on the other sides. For the time being, there is no way to penetrate the entire mountain.
There was a small courtyard on the top of the mountain. There were two people at the gate of the courtyard. They were holding something in their hands, which seemed to be a telescope. There were two shadows of people in the courtyard, and they were blurry and unclear.
She can't look far away, she can't see that far.
These guards were not holding guns. They looked like ordinary people and from their faces they were Chinese. However, those who could guard here were definitely not ordinary people.
When the family saw her looking at the mountain, they said, "There are ghosts on our mountain, so no one dares to go in normally."
"Ghosts? What era is this? Where do ghosts come from?"
"Girl, don't disbelieve me. Every night in our mountain, there are sounds of ghosts howling and howling. What else could it be but ghosts?"
"Really? Then, didn't you go into the mountains to look for it? Could it be some kind of wild animal? When did the haunting begin?"
"Who would dare to go there? It's haunted. Someone saw it. About three years ago, someone passed by there at night and saw a female ghost in red clothes, with her neck hanging on a tree and her tongue sticking out."
"Oh my, that's scary."
"Of course."
“…”
Ye Qinglan pretended to be scared, rubbed her arms, picked up the chickens and ducks on the ground and left. When she went back, she looked around and found three people on the left side of the mountain, but she didn't see any on the other two sides.
This place is definitely not for raising livestock, and the yard is not built for raising livestock. Besides, villagers have long allowed private livestock raising.
She didn't seek support from the local public security, not because she didn't trust them, but mainly because her job was for the military, and it would be easier to deal with her own people.
There were troops stationed in Ruili City near Yucheng. After returning to the city, she contacted the people in the southern military region. Ruili was located in the southwest and was under the jurisdiction of the south. She asked them to send some people to support her. It didn't need to be many, just a few dozen would be enough.
The best time to do things is between 2 and 4 in the morning.
She didn't even wait, and went out of town with Xiao Chen that night, and gave Xiao Chen a copy of the map she had drawn.
Based on the information Xiao Chen had gathered and Jia Kui's situation, she suspected that Wei Wei was taken away by Jia Kui to do something unspeakable. After so many years, it was hard to say whether Wei Wei was still alive, but the courtyard on the top of the mountain had existed for several years, which meant that there was something inside. If you go a day later, you don't know what will happen.
When she arrived at the destination, she found that the number of people guarding at night had doubled. It was right to ask someone to pick them up, otherwise it would be difficult to drag so many people down the mountain.
At around two o'clock in the morning, people from Rui Licheng quietly entered the village. Fortunately, no one in the village was willing to keep a dog, otherwise they would have heard a few barking noises.
At this time, Ye Qinglan and Xiao Chen had already entered the mountain from both sides. She planned to go up the mountain first. If it turned out as she thought, she could collect the relevant things before others came in. Some things, the fewer people who know, the better.
She held a rope in her hand and quietly approached those people.
