For him, the countryside does not mean any hardship in life. Instead, it only means the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the paradise on earth, the clean air and the shady green trees that he sees on TV and the Internet.

It's still very novel.

Mo Wenting's hometown is in the mountains of Qianlang County, called Xigou Village.

Lin Mo used software to check and found that there are at least eighty places called Xigou Village in the country, so the place name does not involve any technical content at all.

Because there is no train to this place, and intercity transportation is currently sluggish, Lin Mo drove here this time.

It wasn't him who was driving, it was the fat guy.

As for why the fat man followed, it was a surprise.

Lin Mo was eating noodles at Lvyuan Community and was almost done when the fat man walked in.

Originally, Lin Mo had no intention of disturbing Fatty this time, but Fatty was too enthusiastic. After running over to find out what was going on, he insisted on taking Lin Mo to Xigou Village in his G-Class SUV, which he had just bought not long ago.

It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. Lin Mo thought, okay, it would be a bit boring to go alone, and with Fatty accompanying him on the way, he would have someone to chat with.

So along the way, we drank and ate snacks, and listened to music that went from dynamic to sad, and then back to dynamic again. Finally, after driving for several hundred kilometers, we arrived at this remote mountainous area that the fat man mentioned.

"This place is really remote." The fat man muttered at this moment, while Lin Mo closed his eyes and dozed off in the passenger seat. He recently liked this kind of thing where he didn't sleep but closed his eyes to rest.

Very comfortable.

Especially when you let the sun outside the car window shine on your face, the warmth that spreads all over your body is so comfortable.

But after getting on the bumpy and potholed dirt road, this comfort turned into complaints about this shabby place. After the fat man complained, Lin Mo complained, and sometimes they both complained together.

It's not to mention that this made Lin Mo find a little bit of the passion he had when he started a game studio. At that time, Fatty was the first to join. He carried a lot of equipment upstairs. At that time, he called himself an orc laborer, and he was very capable! When they were on the highway, they couldn't see a car for more than ten kilometers. When they got to the dirt road, they couldn't see a single person.

At this time, Lin Mo and Fatty could both feel that there were many polluted areas around them.

It was like peeing on the snow and leaving 30% yellow spots in different sizes.

"Brother Mo, do you think your classmate's family has moved away? This place is deserted. Even if something happens, no one will save him. Who would live here?"

What the fat man meant was that this trip might be in vain because the village would definitely be empty, and there would definitely be no one in the area for hundreds of kilometers around.

He has reason to be worried.

In the current situation, people are frantically flocking to big cities, because only big cities have safe zones, and safe zones can guarantee their subsequent survival.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the last pure land for mankind.

After all, who doesn’t want to survive? Outside of the big cities, the government has no power to control the situation, and people can only fend for themselves.

However, there are corresponding advantages in the suburbs of towns and villages.

There are definitely not as many nightmares as in big cities.

After all, at this stage, humans are the soil that creates nightmares.

With fewer people, there will naturally be fewer nightmares.

If you fall asleep and hide in the house at night, you may not be found by the nightmare.

Of course, this is an ideal situation, and the actual situation may not be the case at all.

It was not until he met a group of sheep grazing in front of him that the fat man's lucky mentality was shattered.

The shepherd is an old man.

His clothes were of local style, his skin was a real bronze color, and due to his age, his face was full of wrinkles. When he smiled, he could kill several mosquitoes.

Lin Mo was surprised when he saw the old man.

Because he could sense the aura of nightmare from this old man, which meant that he had been infected by nightmares.

Ask around and ask for directions.

The old man was still able to chat for a while, as the other party was actually from Xigou Village. The shepherd uncle told Lin Mo that they would arrive there in a short while.

Lin Mo asked if he knew about 'Moliang Valley'.

Mo Lianggu is Mo Wenting's father. If they are from the same village, they must know each other.

The shepherd nodded and said he knew him, then showed Lin Mo the way. After talking for a long time, Lin Mo finally understood what he meant.

"Let's go into the village!"

Lin Mo greeted the fat man.

Although it is a dirt road, cars can still enter. This village is not the kind of Peach Blossom Spring shown on TV that requires climbing mountains and wading through water to enter. In fact, you can see telephone poles on the road, there are roads, and even internet.

Go uphill, see the big locust tree, turn left and go straight, the Mo family is next to the grocery store.

There are actually people in the village.

But they were all old men and women, some of them were basking in the sun, some were chatting, and when they saw outsiders coming, they all looked at them secretly from a distance.

The Mo family's yard looks pretty good, and it's actually a two-story building.

When I knocked on the door, I could hear the dog barking in the yard.

After a while, I heard someone training a dog, and then the door opened.

A woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties appeared at the door.

The other party looked at Lin Mo and the fat man with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Mo Wenting's high school classmate. My name is Lin Mo." Lin Mo introduced himself.

As the three most important key points, as long as one can be found, it will be a breakthrough for this matter.

Maybe we can find more clues.

The dog in the yard has become well behaved.

Because Lin Mo took a look at it.

I have heard people say before that dogs are very human-like and can even see things that humans cannot see. Lin Mo didn’t really believe this before, but this time he believed it without a doubt.

Before, the dog growled at him, but when he glanced over, he saw that this Chinese native dog seemed to have suffered a mental attack. Now it was as cowardly as a grandson, hiding in the doghouse and refusing to come out.

In the spacious living room, Mo Wenting's mother poured water for Lin Mo and Fatty.

Although she is from the village, she has seen the world and she can tell that Lin Mo and the fat man are not ordinary people.

Of course, the main reason is not the so-called temperament. Ninety percent of it is because of the Fat G SUV at the door. She doesn't know much about this car, but she recognizes the logo. I heard that as long as this logo is put on it, it will cost several million.

Can someone who can drive a luxury car worth millions be considered an ordinary person?

Lin Mo was really honest. He said that he came to understand the past. Mo Wenting's mother obviously didn't want to recall it, but Lin Mo showed his ID from the General Administration and said that he was here to investigate the case, so Mo Wenting's mother cooperated.

Although, she may not quite understand the importance of Lin Mo's ID, all she knew was that the other party was a public servant and it was a public investigation, so what else could she do if he didn't cooperate.

"Well, when Wenting's grandmother passed away, she came back from school and stayed at the casket all night. The next day, she was like a different person. She wouldn't say anything when asked. Later, she went to school. I thought everything was fine, but a few days later, someone from the school called me and I found out that she had mental problems."

What Mo Wenting’s mother said is consistent with what Wang Xiaoli and Liu Jia said.

Moreover, Lin Mo knew that Mo Wenting came to attend her grandmother's funeral. This was definitely a progress. In this way, he could learn more about the situation of Mo Wenting's grandmother.

So, this trip was the right one.

"Afterwards, after we brought the child back, he was still making a fuss, mumbling all the time that it was too late, too late. In the end, he died a few days after we returned."

When it came to this, Lin Mo clearly heard some problems.

The other party seemed to intentionally blur the cause of Mo Wenting's death.

This certainly couldn't fool him, so Lin Mo asked, and Mo Wenting's mother had no choice but to whisper: "This matter is taboo in the village. I didn't want to talk about it, and Wenting's father didn't let me talk about it, but you are a public servant, did you find out anything?"

Lin Mo said yes, and added that there were many suspicious points in Mo Wenting's death.

"Hey, I told you I couldn't hide it, I couldn't hide it, but they just wouldn't listen. So let me tell you, Wenting, you hanged yourself."

"Hang?"

"Yes, it was on the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Woo, wow, I still remember, my daughter was wearing a thin skirt, hanging on the tree, her body swaying, her face was all bruised, woo, wow, my poor child."

The sad memories came to her mind, and Mo Wenting's mother started crying.

Lin Mo tried to persuade him a few times, but to no avail.

The other person cried even more sadly.

Just at this moment, the gate outside opened and someone came in. Perhaps he heard the crying, his footsteps quickened, and soon a man in his fifties walked in with a frown.

The other person was holding a plastic bag, which Lin Mo put some food in.

It looks like Mo Wenting's father is back.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house?" Mo Wenting's father is Mo Lianggu. He looked at Lin Mo and the fat man with unfriendly eyes, probably because of some misunderstanding.

Lin Mo hurried to explain.

Originally, it would have been more effective if Mo Wenting's mother said a few words about this matter, but the other party seemed to be addicted to crying and couldn't stop. As a result, the situation was clearly heading towards violence.

Lin Mo showed his ID and said he was here to investigate the cause of Mo Wenting's death.

As a result, Mo Lianggu became angry at this time.

It looked like a mad bull.

"Get out! Get out! My daughter is not dead! You two, get out right now!"

As he said that, he dropped the plastic bag in his hand and ran to the kitchen to get a knife.

The fat man was obviously frightened, so he pulled Lin Mo and said, "Let's go out first." He also said that the man looked mentally unwell, and he might be a psychopath.

If he is mentally ill, it is not illegal even if he kills someone.

There's no point in arguing with a psychopath.

Seeing that Mo Lianggu was indeed a little crazy, Lin Mo felt that what Fatty said was right and there was no need to force it, so he ran out of the yard with Fatty.

Mo Lianggu didn't really chase them out. Afterwards, the fat man concluded that the guy was acting in order to drive them out.

"It's totally unreasonable. What's the big deal about using knives and guns? I've seen all kinds of situations, why would I be afraid of this?" The fat man became arrogant again.

Lin Mo patted the fat man at this time: "Just now he seemed to say that his daughter is not dead, right?"

The fat man calmed down, thought about it, and nodded.

"That's what he said, but I think it's bullshit."

"That may not be the case. You forgot that if a person has been infected by nightmares, death in the real world is only the first death. Maybe she is still alive in the nightmare. From this point of view, what Mo Wenting's father said is not wrong."

Please give me a monthly ticket!
