Mystery Hunter: Chapter 100 field head
"Are you sure?" Mr. Shao asked after tidying up his backpack and wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Although Niu Qiuju weighed more than 150 kilograms, her movements were still full of flexibility. She saw Niu Qiuju jumped across a mountain ridge and put up a pergola in her hands to look into the distance: "It's almost the same, although it has been thirty years. Many things have changed over the years, but these two mountains will not change."
Jiang He also jumped up the mountain ridge and followed Niu Qiuju's direction to look ahead.
The two mountains stood on both sides like two fists, and there was a saddle in the middle for people to quickly insert between the two mountains.
"How to go?" Shao Lao asked again.
Niu Qiuju slid down from the beam and said, "Just walk through the middle and climb over a mountain to get there. The village is in a valley."
"That doesn't seem far away," Wang Chao said.
Yuan Jun looked at it and said with a smile: "There is a saying that Wangshan runs to the death, don't you know, don't look at the col in front of you, but it takes two hours to walk, not to mention that you have to climb over a mountain. It’s a mountain, I think if we want to go to that place, it will be after ten o’clock in the evening, so be prepared to camp in the woods. Spray the repellent water, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes here.”
Although Yuan Jun is arrogant, in this environment, Yuan Jun is a professional.
But the good thing about the situation is that although it is said that it takes thirty years for Hedong to take thirty years, the direction of the mountains will not change much in thirty years. And really, as Yuan Jun said, when everyone crossed a mountain, they saw a faint bungalow by the moonlight.
The whole village is located in a small basin in the mountains, and the surrounding is relatively flat. In the front and back of the village, you can see a lot of crops planted. It's pitch black and you can't see what is being planted. But this season, it's probably sorghum and corn. These sorghum and corn are probably as tall as people. .
In the darkness, the sorghum fields and cornfields stood there straight, like guards, protecting the small village.
Wang Chao took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that the mobile phone really had no signal.
Xu Yiman looked around: "Is that a barren village?"
Niu Qiuju was a little excited at this time. She looked at this dark private house by the faint light of the starry sky. It was already eleven o'clock at night, and only a few houses were still lit. This shows that there is still a great connection between this place and the outside world, and electricity is the best proof of this.
Mr. Shao again instructed: "Remember our identities. We came to investigate and found this place by accident. Moreover, if there is a child in this village who was abducted and sold, there is a daughter-in-law who was abducted and sold. , it means that at least five or six daughters-in-law were abducted and sold.”
"Understood." The crowd replied.
Yuan Jun took the lead and went down, and the rest followed behind him. The mountain wind blew from the mountains at night, and there was a slight coolness on people's bodies. The trees in the mountains were blown by the mountain wind, and the leaves flapped against each other, making a "slap-lap-lap" sound.
The village is not far away, but it is eerily quiet.
Everyone has been to many villages. With the rapid development of today's society, there is not much difference between rural and urban areas. Wireless TV and broadband Internet are very popular in rural areas. At eleven o'clock, most of the People haven't slept yet, especially on such a quiet and cool night, at least they will sit outside and play poker in the shade.
But this village is different from other villages. It's just eleven o'clock at the moment, and only one or two stars can be seen on the mountain. The whole village is terrifyingly quiet, and it looks lifeless outside. The crowd headed towards the village on a narrow path, flanked by towering sorghum and corn, almost 1.7 meters tall.
From time to time, there will be inexplicable sounds in the cornfield of sorghum fields, and the depths of the corn stalks and sorghum stalks will shake inexplicably from time to time. It seems that something is hidden in the dark sorghum field, watching everyone secretly.
Wang Chao was always attracted by these inexplicable movements. He looked at it and he couldn't help but say: "This is a big living man hiding in the cornfield, and he can't see it from the outside. I always feel that there is something. staring at us, hiding in this cornfield."
The rest of the people didn't care much. Yuan Jun was the master who was not afraid of the sky and the earth. This little episode was nothing to him. Shao Lao and Niu Qiuju are country people. They grew up in this environment. They knew that there might be some small animals such as hedgehogs, voles, etc. in the cornfield. When they moved, the corn stalks and sorghum stalks would shake. normal thing.
Jiang He didn't care at all, and Xu Yiman had been a doctor for so many years, and he never believed in ghosts and gods.
Wang Chao shook his head helplessly, these people are really different from him.
But at this moment, a rude shout suddenly pierced the silent night sky and startled everyone. It was Niu Qiuju who made this pig-killing cry. She was walking alone on the right side of the team, near the cornfield. For some unknown reason, she suddenly started howling.
Jiang He was right next to Niu Qiuju, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just saw someone looking at me in the cornfield just now!" Niu Qiuju's voice was trembling, she was almost scared to pee.
Niu Qiuju was sure that she was not mistaken. She was thinking about her grandson, and she was not in the mood to listen to what Wang Chao said. She just followed the team silently, but after coming here, she suddenly felt very panicked. , it was an indescribable feeling, which made her feel uncomfortable.
The source of this unpleasantness came from the cornfield next to her. She turned her head and saw that in the cornfield, a pitch-black head was sticking out. Those eyes that were darker than the night were dying. staring at himself. Niu Qiuju looked at these eyes, and these eyes were also looking at herself.
Niu Qiuju suddenly felt her scalp tingle.
It was a pale, bloodless face, not like the face of a living person.
Almost without any hesitation, Niu Qiuju shouted in fear. The shouts frightened everyone, and also frightened the owner of the head away.
A piece of corn in the cornfield swayed from side to side, and in an instant it became quiet.
Jiang He and Yuan Jun had already rushed into the cornfield ahead of the pack, crushing a lot of corn stalks. But wanting to run and move in the cornfield is not an easy task. When the two arrived at the cornfield, there was nothing.
Jiang He turned on his flashlight and stood in the cornfield illuminating it everywhere.
Under the beam of the flashlight, the shadow of the cornstalk was hit in the distance, looking like a demon with claws and claws. The cornstalks were so high that Jiang He had to hold the flashlight above his head, but there was still nothing.
"What?" Yuan Jun also looked away and said, "Human or animal?"
Jiang He shook his head. He shone the flashlight under his feet. There were only two footprints on the soft ground, one belonged to Yuan Jun and the other belonged to Jiang He. So what is this thing that disappeared into the cornfield in a hurry, is Niu Qiuju misreading it, or is this thing's weight simply not enough to step on the land?
What Jiang He could be sure of was that no matter what it was, it must be small, and it must be very flexible, because Jiang He hardly heard any noise from the cornfield. Especially when Yuan Jun and Jiang He were running, the sound of the two made all the bugs around them stop chirping.
"It may be some kind of small animal." Yuan Jun said: "There are hares and wild boars in the mountains."
When the two of them came out of the cornfield, they saw a lot of people rushing in from a distance, and they were all villagers in the village.
Shao Lao looked at the two and asked, "What did you find?"
"No!" The two shook their heads.
Shao Lao did not expect that the meeting with the villagers would be in such a way.
"Don't reveal your secrets. Even if you find a woman or child who has been abducted and sold, don't act rashly until you understand everything." Shao Lao said softly: "Now relax."
While talking, the villagers had already driven out.
Look at the appearance of these villagers. Most of these people rushed out shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts. The villagers had everything in their hands, some with kitchen knives, and some with poles , some with ropes, some with sticks.
The villagers who rushed out were old and young, large and small, but all were men without exception.
The leader looked to be a man in his forties, holding a beer bottle in his hand.
The man pointed at the crowd with a strong dialect: "What are you doing?"
Mr. Shao said slowly: "Hello, fellow, we are from the National Geographic Archaeological Team. This time, I came to the vicinity to investigate, and I came to your village before I knew it. This is the guide we invited, and the rest These are my students."
"Student?" The person in the lead said, "Such a big student?"
"Doctoral students, doctoral students do not know." Shao Lao explained.
"What doctor?" The man didn't understand: "What is that."
A man next to him said softly, "That daughter-in-law seems to say that she is a doctoral student or something."
The man frowned: "Is that what I said here?"
After speaking, the man said to Shao Lao and others: "We don't care what kind of doctor you are or what you do, just leave if you have nothing to do. Our village doesn't like outsiders."
Of course Mr. Shao couldn't leave. He took out his wallet and said, "Fellow, we were visiting the neighborhood and found your village. We hope to stay here for a few days."
With that said, Shao veteran handed over a stack of money, there were seven or eight in total.
The man took the money, dipped his finger in saliva, and began to count. After counting, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "That's it, come on."
