The next day, Lin Yilan went up the mountain with a young man introduced by the village head. The young man was a little worried about her, so he led her to the foot of the mountain, and turned his head to look at him several times: "Do you have to go up?"

Lin Yilan nodded: "I came to this village to promote the spirit of science and break the feudal superstition." After speaking, he smiled at the young man.

The young man's face turned red immediately, but he still didn't dare to go up the mountain. The fear of this mountain seemed to have been engraved in the bones of these villagers.

Lin Yilan didn't need others to accompany him up the mountain, so he waved to the young man and started climbing the mountain alone. The young man just stayed at the bottom of the mountain, staring at Lin Yilan's back in a daze.

He has never been out of the village in his life, and he has never seen such a girl. She is so beautiful that people dare not look directly into her eyes. It seems that every part of her body is fragrant, and her whole body seems to be shining.

Lin Yilan wholeheartedly climbed the mountain. Her physical fitness is now very strong. She lived alone in the tropical rainforest for three months before. Over the years, she fell in love with rock climbing abroad and climbed the highest mountain in North America.

She didn't find it difficult to walk this mountain road at all, because she was going up the mountain today, so she found materials and made a set of climbing equipment. Mingshan is very high, but it is not as high as the highest mountain that Lin Yilan has climbed before challenging the limit.

Although I was still a little tired after climbing to the back, I still climbed up.

The top of the mountain was very cold, and there was even snow. She didn't feel how cold it was because of the strenuous exercise. She patrolled around the top of the mountain and found a dilapidated hut.

The house had air leaks from all sides. No matter how poor Lin Yilan was when he was a child, it was still a cement house. Even if it was a dilapidated house, it was still a cement house. I had never seen such a house.

It can be seen that the people here are exceptionally poor, especially the people living on this mountain.

She stepped forward and knocked on the door. She knocked several times in a row before someone came to open the door.

The one who came to open the door was a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was about the same age as Lin Yilan, but she was half a head shorter than Lin Yilan.

She was wearing a dark purple ethnic minority dress, and what appeared to be a silver hair ornament on her head.

Her facial features are very delicate, there is no trace of blood on her lips, her skin is almost deadly pale, she has a pair of big almond eyes, but the pupils are dark, as if there is a huge beast that chooses people and does things dormant inside.

Lin Yilan looked at her a few times, and squeezed out a kind smile. Over the past few years abroad, she has gradually changed a lot. She is no longer as withdrawn and arrogant as she was back then.

Now she can put on the most cordial smile very naturally, and can look easy to get along with in front of everyone.

The girl stared at her heavily and asked, "Who are you?"

There was a strange indifference in that look, as if what was being looked at was not a person, but the pork on the plate. Ordinary people would definitely feel uncomfortable being looked at by this kind of look, but Lin Yilan's expression did not show the slightest abnormality.

"I'm a new support teacher, I'm here to invite you and..." Lin Yilan passed by the girl. The house is really small. Lin Yilan caught a glimpse of the bed. A boy with the same pale face was sitting on the bed. bed.

"And your younger brother goes to school. Children of your age need to study."

The girl didn't respond when she heard the words, and her tone was even more indifferent: "No need." After she finished speaking, she wanted to close the door, but Lin Yilan held her hand against it. She said with a smile, "That's not possible. Completing nine-year compulsory education is a must for everyone. A civic duty."

"Speaking of which..." Lin Yilan continued to look at the boy inside: "Aren't you brothers and sisters? Why don't you look alike at all?"

Who knew that the girl who heard this sentence was instantly furious: "We are brothers and sisters! We can't go on talking, get out of here!!"

Seeing that this surly girl was irritated, Lin Yilan knew that she would not be able to ask anything today, so she hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'll come back tomorrow."

bump!

The girl slammed the door directly, and Lin Yilan was turned away just like that.

The smile on her face disappeared like a drop of water in the river.

That younger brother didn't respond at all from the beginning to the end.

Of course, Lin Yilan wouldn't come back the next day so obediently, she just slipped up at night without taking the old man's warning to heart.

She patrolled around the mountain, trying to find sunflowers, but she searched the whole mountain and couldn't find any shadow of sunflowers. Lin Yilan searched very carefully, and she even noticed that the soil under her feet was soft.

She simply used her self-made trekking poles to dig up. Although she didn't know where the sunflowers were, her intuition told her that there were ghosts in the ground.

Halfway through the digging, she seemed to have dug up something thin.

She has good vision and has been modified by the system to be able to see in the dark, so she didn't bring a flashlight up the mountain.

She squinted her eyes for a while, then continued to dig, and then a strong, corrupt stench came over her face. At this moment, Lin Yilan finally saw clearly what was buried under the ground.

It was a piece of empty human skin.

Even Lin Yilan felt a chill down his spine at this moment.

"What are you doing?" the girl asked quietly.

Lin Yilan turned his head suddenly, and the girl he saw during the day was standing behind him.

Lin Yilan wanted to keep his breathing as steady as possible, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "I heard that there is a treasure on this mountain, I'm here to find it."

This is obviously nonsense, the dug out human skin is still there.

But the girl didn't refute her, just stared at her and said: "There is no treasure here, hurry up and get out."

Lin Yilan nodded, then shook his head again, and said in distress, "But it's too late, it's not safe for me to go down the mountain."

The girl's tone became visibly irritable: "What exactly do you want?"

Lin Yilan said: "Why don't you lend me a night, or..."

Lin Yilan showed his white teeth in a smile, and said in a very flat tone, "You don't want me to tell you what I dug up today, do you?"

The girl stared at her firmly, and finally squeezed out four words: "You come with me."

-

Lin Yilan was led into the wooden house by the girl. The younger brother was lying on the bed. The girl walked over to help him tuck the quilt, and said to the boy in a tone completely different from that of Lin Yilan, "Are you hungry?"

The boy didn't answer, just watched the girl calmly.

Lin Yilan observed very carefully from the side. Before he could take a closer look at the strangeness of the boy, the girl blocked the boy with her body, and said to Lin Yilan, "There is another room next to it. Come with me."
