Chapter 333 come to the door
Huolu Mountain is a small and nameless hill in Baihai City.

But in the hearts of people in Fucheng Town, it is the "Black Mountain" that everyone knows and knows.Even, many locals don't call it Huolu Mountain, but call it "Black Mountain".

There are actually three reasons why it is called "Black Mountain":
First of all, Huolu Mountain is full of reefs. In winter, there is almost no green vegetation on the mountain, and the surface of the mountain is all solid black reefs.Some people say that Huolu Mountain used to be a crater a long time ago. After the eruption, few plants grew here. Secondly, the light on Huolu Mountain is darker than other places, and there are many strange rocks in the mountains.In other places, it is often not until seven o'clock in the evening that the sky will completely darken.But on Huolu Mountain, as long as it is five o'clock in the afternoon, it is basically impossible to see the way up the mountain.

Finally, the reason why Huolu Mountain is called "Black Mountain" is because some people say that there is an invisible black mountain monster on the mountain.It is said that every night when the moon is full, the Black Mountain Monster will sneak out of a certain cave to bathe in the moonlight.What's even more frightening is that the Black Mountain Monster can also eat people... I heard from the locals that last summer, a family of three from out of town went camping on Huolu Mountain, but they were all eaten by the Black Mountain Monster.After dozens of days, the police found a pile of white bones beside a path in the mountains.

At 06:30 in the evening, Xu Zhen started from the foot of Huolu Mountain and went up the mountain quietly.

At the moment, he is carrying a backpack.In addition to water and food, there were three other things in the bag: a Goba lion blade, a 40-centimeter steel bar, and a nine-turn Luoluo pot.With these three things, he is not afraid of any Black Mountain monster.He was afraid that Wang Fengliang, a cunning fox, would not go up the mountain.

………………

At ten o'clock in the evening, the night is as cold as water.

In Fucheng Town, by the well at the entrance of Dengjia Village in Mentougou, an adult black dog kept barking at a pile of straw.

"Want, want, want, want, want."

An old man heard his dog barking, put on a military overcoat and a pair of woolen slippers, and came out of the room.The old man held a dim flashlight in his hand.

This old man is Deng Maolin, the old director of the Fucheng Center Welfare Institute.

This afternoon, after Deng Maolin buried Wang Huliang's ashes in Montenegro, he was already very tired. He wanted to sleep soundly, but was woken up by the barking of his local dog, Acai.

"Ah Cai, what kind of spring are you having in winter? Did you eat too many bones during the day?"

Deng Maolin took a bamboo pole from the wall and walked up to the dog. Just as he was about to whip it, he suddenly saw a spark next to the dark straw pile on the opposite side.

Strangely enough, someone was hiding next to the straw pile in his house and smoking.

Deng Maolin was shocked at first, and then he was very angry: "Hey, who are you? Why did you come to our straw pile to smoke? What if it catches fire..."

Before he finished speaking, a man about 1.7 meters tall walked out slowly from behind the straw pile, holding a cigarette.Deng Maolin took a look and saw that the man was still carrying two big bags.

One red bag and one black bag.

The big red bag was filled with dry goods such as milk, Wangwang Snow Cake, and some lychees; the other black bag was bulging, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Because the light was too dark, Deng Maolin couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he could vaguely feel that the man carried an inexplicable aura.The inexplicable atmosphere made Deng Maolin, an old man who had been the dean of the orphanage for 40 years, always feel a little flustered...

"Hey, you, who are you?"

Deng Maolin didn't point the flashlight in his hand at the man's face, because it would be very impolite.Moreover, he could see that the other party obviously came with good intentions.This can be seen from the milk and Want Want Snow Cake in the opponent's hand.

In the darkness, the man didn't speak, but pointed to the big dog A Cai beside Deng Maolin.

Deng Maolin smiled, and then patted Ah Cai's butt with his hands: "You little bastard, stop yelling and just stay away!"

Hearing what his master said, Ah Cai immediately relaxed his vigilance towards strangers, wagged its tail, and left without hesitation.

After the big dog left, the man slowly came to Deng Maolin.

Deng Maolin took a closer look, only to feel that the thin face but unusually strong body in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he smiled slightly: "Old Dean, don't you know me? I'm Fengliang!"

"Fengliang? Which Fengliang?"

Deng Maolin subconsciously took two steps back.Suddenly, he remembered that the person in front of him holding the Wangwang gift bag was Wang Fengliang.So, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, you... are you Wang Fengliang?"

Under the dim light, Wang Fengliang's facial muscles were a bit eerie, but he smiled at Deng Maolin: "I didn't expect that the old dean still remembered me."

"Remember, remember, why don't you remember? You three brothers belong to you... the most promising."

Deng Maolin originally wanted to say "the most naughty", but in the end he changed it to "the most promising".

As early as several years ago, Deng Maolin heard people say that Wang Fengliang was doing well outside, and seemed to be running a bar in Lianhai City.At that time, Deng Maolin was still thinking in his heart, why those orphans who were mischievous and mischievous when they were young, are better off?
"Fengliang, when did you come to Baihai? Why didn't you notify me in advance? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right? Are you brothers all right?"

After Deng Maolin mentioned "brothers", he immediately thought of what happened to Wang Huliang in the afternoon, so he slapped his forehead: "Oh, I am really demented. This afternoon, I just... took over your brother's... ..."

After all, he still didn't say the word "ashes".

"Fengliang, do you know about your brother?"

"know."

Wang Fengliang's voice is very small, like a mosquito.

"Hey, I heard people say that your brother had an accident in Shanghai. It is said that there was a car accident, but the driver was never found. Have you heard about this?"

"heard."

"You went back to Baihai City to see your brother on purpose, right?"

"Yes."

"Oh, this afternoon, Lao Liu from the Civil Affairs Bureau took the initiative to find me and said that he wanted me to arrange for your brother to be buried. However, I didn't have your contact information at that time, so...so I made a claim , you won't blame me, will you?"

When Deng Maolin said these words, he was very nervous.

Although he helped bury Wang Huliang's ashes, the location of the cemetery was not ideal, and it was even a bit taboo.Deng Maolin actually felt guilty about this.However, in the afternoon, when Old Comrade Liu from the Civil Affairs Bureau gave him 2000 yuan, he could only do the matter according to what Old Liu wanted.Of course, he didn't know why Lao Liu from the Civil Affairs Bureau insisted on burying Wang Huliang's ashes in Huolushan.Perhaps, Deng Maolin was not able to guess the trickiness in it.

As soon as Wang Huliang's ashes were buried, his elder brother Wang Fengliang came looking for him.

This thing feels a bit strange...
