Chapter 561 The Secret Hidden in the Mountains



Mu Xiaowan stood beside the millstone and chattered about what happened back then.

Although Zhou Luancheng knew everything, he still couldn't help feeling heartbroken when he heard Mu Xiaowan say it.

The calmer her tone, the more one could feel her desperation and her unwillingness to give in at that time.

Mu Xiaowan let out a breath, smiled with crescent eyes, and looked up at Zhou Luancheng: "I have never wanted to tell people this because I am afraid of being misunderstood. Am I the thief? Otherwise, why do people suspect me?"

After saying that, she smiled brightly: "Although I know they are all jealous of me because I am young and good-looking."

Zhou Luancheng was amused by her shamelessness and nodded: "Yes, they treat you badly because of jealousy."

Mu Xiaowan chuckled and continued walking forward with her hands behind her back. She was in a good mood and introduced the situation nearby to Zhou Luancheng: "The hillside east of the village is getting more and more dense, and there are wolves in the forest. In those years when private pig farming was not allowed, some people secretly raised pigs in the forest, and both the people and the pigs were bitten to death by wolves."

Zhou Luancheng looked in the direction that Mu Xiaowan pointed. It was already mid-autumn, and the leaves on the mountain were turning yellow and red, piling up layer by layer, which was very beautiful.

But there are wolves in this mountain?

Mu Xiaowan also sighed, "I hadn't left yet at that time. The pig farmer and the pigs that were bitten to death looked so miserable. Many people couldn't eat for a few days after seeing it. They said that their bodies were torn into pieces. When I went to see it, there was only a large pool of blood on the ground."

"Later, Shi Tianliang organized a defense team in the village. Shi Dalei took the lead and led these people to wander around the foot of the mountain to prevent wolves from running into the village. When patrolling the village every day, they beat gongs as they walked."

Zhou Luancheng stared at the mountains and forests in the distance with a frown on his face. He was still confused. This kind of forest, which was mostly covered with shrubs, was not conducive for wolves to run and hunt, and it was too close to the village.

Therefore, wolves would not choose to live in such an environment.

Suddenly, I became interested in the forest: "Let's go and take a look."

Mu Xiaowan looked at Zhou Luancheng in surprise: "What's so interesting over there? Not only are there wolves, but there are also poisonous snakes and so on."

Moreover, the forest spreads all the way to the mountain, and it is easy to get lost once you enter.

Zhou Luancheng smiled and said, "Maybe there will be some different discoveries. Wolves won't come to this mountain."

Therefore, the pig farmers and their pigs back then would not have been killed by wolves.

Mu Xiaowan understood Zhou Luancheng's meaning almost instantly: "So you said the pig farmer was killed by someone, and then disguised as being torn apart by wolves? Isn't that too cruel?"

Zhou Luancheng was unsure: "So let's go and see if there are any secrets hidden in this mountain."

Mu Xiaowan immediately perked up and had even more admiration and love for Zhou Luancheng. How could he be so smart? It seemed like he knew everything.

Actively and enthusiastically led Zhou Luancheng the way.

At the Shi family, Shi Tianliang was packing up and preparing to take his wife and daughter-in-law to Hongqi Town to check. No matter whether it was Shi Dalei or not, he would feel at ease after seeing him.

Li Xiumei still didn't believe it: "The fortune tellers said that our Da Lei is a wealthy man, how could anything happen to him? It must be that vixen Mu Xiaowan who is behind this. That Comrade Zhou doesn't look like a police officer. Police officers are not so clean and good-looking. He looks like a liar at first glance."

"Maybe, that's Mu Xiaowan's lover. I saw back then that Mu Xiaowan was not a good person. She has charmed so many people at such a young age."

Shi Tianliang was very confused. He was worried about his son's true misfortune and the consequences of his son's misfortune. He shouted angrily, "Shut up! You keep talking all day long. Your mouth is looser than your belt. Pack up and leave quickly. I'll ask Tiejun to drive the tractor to take us there."

Li Xiumei hurriedly picked up a cloth bag and urged Chen Ping.

Before the three of them could leave, someone came in hurriedly. Seeing Shi Tianliang, he said anxiously, "Uncle, it's bad. A man and a woman are heading up the mountain."

Shi Tianliang was stunned for a moment: "What are you yelling for? Why don't you stop them immediately?"

The man felt a little aggrieved: "I wanted to stop them, but when I saw them, they had already entered the forest. Now the forest is dense, and I don't know where to look for them."

Shi Tianliang was so angry: "Why are you still standing there? Go find it quickly. Let's go now."

Seeing the man was about to leave, Li Xiumei urged him, "Where are you going? We still have things to do."

Shi Tianliang didn't care whether his son was dead or not. He waved his hand and said, "You and Chen Ping go. I have things to do here."

After saying this, he and the person who came to report the news hurriedly ran towards the back mountain.

As they walked, he cursed the young man: "What's the use of you? You can't keep an eye on two people. That man is a police officer. If he finds out, we'll all be shot."

The young man felt aggrieved: "No one would go to the back mountain, let alone the villagers. No one from outside would come to our village. Do you think they might have gone there to have a relationship?"

Shi Tianliang became even angrier: "You are just an idiot. Who would come to this remote place to date? And the man looks extraordinary. The woman is Mu Xiaowan. Do you remember her? She used to be an educated youth here."

"She, why is she back?"

Shi Tianliang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood: "Who knows why she came back, but I think she came back this time with the intention of killing us."

The two chased all the way into the depths of the forest, and when they saw traces of someone passing by, they followed without hesitation.

Shi Tianliang also took out a homemade gun wrapped in plastic cloth from the bushes halfway.

After the noise died down, Zhou Luancheng pulled Mu Xiaowan out of the bushes nearby.

Mu Xiaowan was shocked: "How did you know Shi Tianliang would come?"

Zhou Luancheng shook his head at her: "Let's go out first."

If Shi Tianliang and his men cannot find anyone, they will definitely turn back quickly. By then, no matter whether Zhou Luancheng and his men have discovered them or not, an annoyed Shi Tianliang will take action.

For Mu Xiaowan's safety, we must leave here quickly.

The two of them left the village very quickly. As they walked towards the town, Mu Xiaowan sighed, "I didn't expect Shi Tianliang to have such a big secret. He didn't even care about his son's life or death."

"How do you know that?"

Zhou Luancheng explained to her patiently: "Shi Tianliang has been the village party secretary for more than ten years, so he is the only one who can control everything on the mountain."

"If there was something fishy going on on the mountain, he would have had people guarding the foot of the mountain."

Mu Xiaowan nodded in admiration: "So after testing him, he was able to find out what secrets are there on the mountain?"

Zhou Luancheng was much more resolute this time: "You will go to Nanshan to meet up with your teachers and classmates in a while, I will stay here."
